Spirit makes use of mind as means to find its Self expression. And the mind which serves the spirit is at peace and filled with joy. Its power comes from spirit, and it is fulfilling happily its function here. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.96.4:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 96 Insights.)
When we identify with the ego, we inevitably feel powerless because the ego is the belief in being separate from the Source of all power. The ego is always defensive because of its sense of weakness. It is always seeking happiness but never finds lasting happiness because it believes it is separate from the Source of happiness.
There is another way. We can redirect our minds to the Spirit of Oneness, the Holy Spirit, Which remembers that we are already united with the Source of all strength and perfect happiness. As we are willing to let the Holy Spirit guide all our doing, our activities in the world will always lead us to remembering the strength and joy that come from our true Self, the Self united with all Creation. This is our practice for today.
