Before you make any decisions for yourself, remember that you have decided against your function in Heaven, and then consider carefully whether you want to make decisions here. ²Your function here is only to decide against deciding what you want, in recognition that you do not know. ³How, then, can you decide what you should do? ⁴Leave all decisions to the One Who speaks for God, and for your function as He knows it. ⁵So will He teach you to remove the awful burden you have laid upon yourself by loving not the Son of God, and trying to teach him guilt instead of love. ⁶Give up this frantic and insane attempt that cheats you of the joy of living with your God and Father, and of waking gladly to His Love and Holiness that join together as the truth in you, making you one with Him.
When you have learned how to decide with God, all decisions become as easy and as right as breathing. ²There is no effort, and you will be led as gently as if you were being carried down a quiet path in summer. ³Only your own volition seems to make deciding hard. ⁴The Holy Spirit will not delay in answering your every question what to do. ⁵He knows. ⁶And He will tell you, and then do it for you. ⁷You who are tired will find this is more restful than sleep. ⁸For you can bring your guilt into sleeping, but not into this
³God can communicate only to the Holy Spirit in your mind, because only He shares the knowledge of what you are with God. ⁴And only the Holy Spirit can answer God for you, for only He knows what God is. ⁵Everything else that you have placed within your mind cannot exist, for what is not in communication with the Mind of God has never been. ⁶Communication with God is life. ⁷Nothing without it is at all. (A Course in Miracles, T-14.IV.5:1–6:8;10:3-7. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
The Holy Spirit is the link between the split-off mind that perceives separation as real and our right Mind which is eternally united with the Love of our Creator. We can deny the presence of this link but we cannot break it, for what God creates is eternal. The Holy Spirit is the Translator of the symbols we have made in our dream. He knows the truth of What we are is unchangeable. But the truth is incomprehensible to a sleeping mind that thinks in separate symbols.
To awaken from this dream we need to be vigilant to ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in all things. His guidance will always lead us toward Love. He shows us that guilt and fear are never justified, for they are based on illusions. If we let Him, He will decide all things on our behalf to free us from our self-made limitations. In truth, we remain the unlimited, eternal Love of God.
