Stepping Back from the Senseless Dream

Mary:
I am seeing how important it is to allow time for stepping back to remember the truth. We all are all still perfect Love as God created us and nothing has happened to change our oneness in the Mind of Love. And yet we dream of being separate from that Love, separated and alone, weak and vulnerable, and subject to the whims of time. I am seeing that it takes a lot of dedication not to get lost in these dreams. Taking all the ego’s stories to the Holy Spirit is an important practice for me every day, because as I look out through the body’s eyes, it does seem so real.

In this morning’s reading of A Course in Miracles, the part that was most helpful to me was:

This is the way salvation works. As you step back, the light in you steps forward and encompasses the world. It heralds not the end of sin in punishment and death. In lightness and in laughter is sin gone, because its quaint absurdity is seen. It is a foolish thought, a silly dream, not frightening, ridiculous perhaps, but who would waste an instant in approach to God Himself for such a senseless whim?

“Yet you have wasted many, many years on just this foolish thought. The past is gone, with all its fantasies. They keep you bound no longer. The approach to God is near. And in the little interval of doubt that still remains, you may perhaps lose sight of your Companion, and mistake Him for the senseless, ancient dream that now is past. (W-pI.156.6-7)

I find that I get lost in the “senseless dream” again and again, and often forget the dream is just a senseless whim. I often forget the Companion Who walks with me. That is why it is so important for me, several times a day, to step back remember that I am not alone. It is important that I allow time for quiet listening to my Companion, Who remembers the truth for me. It is only the Holy Spirit in my mind That brings the peace and joy that is beyond this world. Today it is my practice to let my mind quiet and receive what is mine eternally. The truth is we are one Light and there is no distance between us. There are no differences and we are all at Home in God’s perfect Oneness now. And I give thanks.


Robert:
Today my practice again is to remember that Love walks with me, always. My practice is to let Love guide all my seeing and to be my interpreter of all images and circumstances. Thus will I learn to see the truth that lies beyond all form. Thus will I learn to recognize the blessing that is mine in every moment because it is given to all of God’s one Son.
