Choosing through the Holy Spirit will lead you to the Kingdom. ²You create by your true being, but what you are you must learn to remember. …⁴If you allow yourself to have in your mind only what God put there, you are acknowledging your mind as God created it. ⁵Therefore, you are accepting it as it is.
Truth is without illusions and therefore within the Kingdom. ²Everything outside the Kingdom is illusion. ³When you threw truth away you saw yourself as if you were without it. ⁴By making another kingdom that you valued, you did not keep only the Kingdom of God in your mind, and thus placed part of your mind outside it. ⁵What you made has imprisoned your will, and given you a sick mind that must be healed. ⁶Your vigilance against this sickness is the way to heal it. ⁷Once your mind is healed it radiates health, and thereby teaches healing.
²The Holy Spirit will enable you to take this step, if you follow Him. ³Your vigilance is the sign that you want Him to guide you. ⁴Vigilance does require effort, but only until you learn that effort itself is unnecessary. (A Course in Miracles, T-6.V-C.5:1-2,4-5;9:1-7;10:2-4. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
Only a sick mind can seem to experience pain, fear, guilt, depression and anger. Health is inner peace because there is no conflict in a healed mind. It radiates the oneness of God’s Love, unrestricted and carrying with it the power of God. This is the state of our true Self, which continues extending Love unabated no matter how engaged we are with the ego’s sick denial of Love.
With careful vigilance we have taught ourselves to believe that Love is unreal and fear and guilt are our only reality. Our effort to teach ourselves this was justified by our desire for specialness and separation. We have paid a steep price for learning this lesson.
We can undo this mistake by redirecting our vigilance. Now is the time to be vigilant to listen to the Holy Spirit’s guidance. His lessons will teach us that what we have taught ourselves is not true. We remain as God created us. His peace is still ours. His Love still blesses us and inspires us to join in Love with all our brothers. The need to defend is replaced by the joy of loving. Today we join with our brothers to be vigilant for God and His Kingdom of Love.
