In any situation in which you are uncertain, the first thing to consider, very simply, is “What do I want to come of this? What is it for?” The clarification of the goal [of truth] belongs at the beginning, for it is this which will determine the outcome.
The value of deciding in advance what you want to happen is simply that you will perceive the situation as a means to make it happen.
The goal of truth requires faith. Faith is implicit in the acceptance of the Holy Spirit’s purpose, and this faith is all-inclusive. Where the goal of truth is set, there faith must be. The Holy Spirit sees the situation as a whole. The goal establishes the fact that everyone involved in it will play his part in its accomplishment. This is inevitable. (A Course in Miracles, T-17.VI.2:1-3;4:1;6:1-6. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
There is only one goal that has any true meaning or value, and that is the goal of truth. The way we come to the truth is through the Holy Spirit in our minds. The Holy Spirit always brings us to the truth when we let Him. The truth is we are one with God and still in God because we remain as God created us.
The Course reminds us, “God is but Love and therefore so am I.” This is true about ourselves and everyone. Eternal Perfect Love is all that is or ever will be. Letting ourselves be brought to the truth is the only thing that is truly important. Letting ourselves be brought to the truth is our practice for today.
