I rule my mind, which I alone must rule.
I have a kingdom I must rule. ²At times, it does not seem I am its king at all. ³It seems to triumph over me, and tell me what to think, and what to do and feel. ⁴And yet it has been given me to serve whatever purpose I perceive in it. ⁵My mind can only serve. ⁶Today I give its service to the Holy Spirit to employ as He sees fit. ⁷I thus direct my mind, which I alone can rule. ⁸And thus I set it free to do the Will of God.
Father, my mind is open to Your Thoughts, and closed today to every thought but Yours. ²I rule my mind, and offer it to You. ³Accept my gift, for it is Yours to me. (A Course in Miracles, W-236. See also ACIM Lesson 236 Insights.)
We are each solely in charge of the thoughts we accept in our mind. Our seeming presence in this world tells us that we have accepted the ego thought system in our mind. It seems that we do not have control of our thoughts.
This is because we have signed over control to the ego. But it is not a binding contract. We can let it go in any instant by choosing to put the Holy Spirit in charge of the thoughts we accept in our mind. This choice is between thoughts of death and the one Thought that is our real Life in God.
When we take control of our thoughts by accepting the Holy Spirit’s help, we free our minds from the ego’s frightening thoughts. Love replaces fear. Happiness replaces worry and sadness. Peace replaces chaos. For we are accepting the Will we share with God. We are accepting our inheritance.
Today we put the Holy Spirit in charge of our thoughts to reclaim the Life we live in God.
