The Holy Spirit links the other part — the tiny, mad desire to be separate, different and special — to the Christ, to make the oneness clear to what is really one.
The Holy Spirit serves Christ’s purpose in your mind, so that the aim of specialness can be corrected where the error lies. Because His purpose still is one with both the Father and the Son, He knows the Will of God and what you really will. But this is understood by mind perceived as one, aware that it is one, and so experienced. It is the Holy Spirit’s function to teach you how this oneness is experienced, what you must do that it can be experienced, and where you should go to do it.
All this takes note of time and place as if they were discrete, for while you think that part of you is separate, the concept of a Oneness joined as One is meaningless. It is apparent that a mind so split could never be the Teacher of a Oneness which unites all things within Itself. And so What [Holy Spirit] is within this mind, and does unite all things together, must be its Teacher. Yet must It use the language that this mind can understand, in the condition in which it thinks it is. And It must use all learning to transfer illusions to the truth, taking all false ideas of what you are, and leading you beyond them to the truth that is beyond them. All this can very simply be reduced to this:
What is the same can not be different, and what is one can not have separate parts. (A Course in Miracles, T-25.I.5:3;6;7. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
While we desire to be special and dream of being separate, we cannot understand the reality of oneness. We need to be taught how to see past the separate images of the dream. This is the Holy Spirit’s function in our minds. He recognizes the separate identity we believe we are but knows it is not true. With this understanding, He uses the symbols and language of the dream as a bridge to translate our illusions and lead us to truth.
Though we dream of being separate, Christ, the Son of God, is still in our mind. He is the one Self we share. Christ remains at one with our Creator. In the oneness of Love, there is no distinction between God and the Son of God.
The Holy Spirit speaks for Christ to the split mind we believe is our reality. The Holy Spirit is the Answer provided to link the illusion of a split mind to the oneness of Love that has never really changed. This Answer guarantees that we can not be forever lost in the dream of separation. We have a Teacher to guide us out of our delusion and awaken us to the fact that we remain one with our Creator. We remain Eternal Love and nothing else.
