Mary:
This is what stood out to me in our reading of A Course in Miracles today: “Now it becomes your task to let illusion be carried to the truth. Be steadfast but in this; be not deceived by the ‘reality’ of any changing form.” (M-27.7:4-5)
Because awakening from the dream is my only true goal, my practice for today and every day is to be open to the Holy Spirit’s gift of seeing past the world of separate bodies to the truth of God’s oneness. This is how every circumstance I encounter becomes another opportunity to see the world differently. This is how I allow the Holy Spirit to awaken me from the dream of separation.
My practice today is to frequently check in with whose hand am I holding right now — right now am I believing in a world of separate bodies or am I seeing past the dream to the truth that we are all still the same Light in the Mind of God? With Holy Spirit as my Guide, this is how I let illusion be carried to the truth. Here I see that no one is outside this one Light of Love.
Robert:
All I really want is the peace of God. The wish for something else is what makes a world of separation and specialness, guilt and fear. If I consider honestly what the world I see offers, there is nothing there that can bring me the peace of God. Nothing in the world can bring me lasting happiness.
Since nothing I see in the world is real, all I need to do is let go of these false images and the peace of God will come forth. It was always there, being God’s eternal gift. Nothing more than an imaginary veil hid the peace of God from me. My past learning has been invested in making those images real.
Now I choose a different Teacher. I make that choice when I choose to let Him interpret every image I see. With my inner Teacher’s help, I will learn to see the Light of Love everywhere. The body will continue to show me images, but seen in the Light of Love, they will be recognized as having no substance, and therefore, they will not interfere with my experience of the peace of God.
Today is another day of practice in holding up every image to the Light of Love to see as Holy Spirit sees.
