Robert:
Today we read question 16 in the Manual for Teachers of A Course in Miracles, “How should a teacher of God spend his day?” This section comforted and inspired me. It acknowledges that in our journey of awakening, we will experience temptation to perceive the world and separation as real. But it assures us that there is a way out and provides helpful keys that we can use to bring our attention back to the recognition of what is real and where our safety lies.
My job is to hold the dedication to following Holy Spirit’s lead all through the day. In addition to this commitment, I must be vigilant to recognize when I have fallen into the temptation to attempt to resolve perceived problems on my own. This is what the Course calls “magic,” because it is attempting to manipulate illusions to solve an illusionary problem.
The resolution of all problems in the world always comes with the recognition that only Love is real, only oneness is real. But on my own I cannot distinguish between illusion and reality. So to step out of temptation, I must turn to the Holy Spirit with an open mind and heart to receive His vision, which will show me true resolution of every perceived problem, of every disturbance of my peace.
I have a mighty Companion Who will always lead me truly to the experience of my eternal safety and happiness in Love. I am inspired again today to practice following Holy Spirit’s lead throughout the day.
Holy Spirit to Mary:
In truth you are immersed in God’s sea of peace… In truth you are Love in the Mind of Love… Give yourself the time to let the truth return to your mind… Let your true Self be in charge of your mind today… This is how you give the day to God.
Do not try to dictate to God what your day will be like. Give the day to your inner Comforter. You will know you have done this by the level of peace you feel. Have a peace-filled day.
