In quietness is [the peace of God] acknowledged universally. For what your inward vision looks upon is your perception of the universe.
Sit quietly and close your eyes. The light within you is sufficient. It alone has power to give the gift of sight to you. Exclude the outer world, and let your thoughts fly to the peace within. They know the way. For honest thoughts, untainted by the dream of worldly things outside yourself, become the holy messengers of God Himself.
We practice coming nearer to the light in us today. We take our wandering thoughts, and gently bring them back to where they fall in line with all the thoughts we share with God.
…we acknowledge that the peace of God still shines in us, and from us to all living things that share our life. We will forgive them all, absolving all the world from what we thought it did to us. For it is we who make the world as we would have it. Now we choose that it be innocent, devoid of sin and open to salvation. And we lay our saving blessing on it, as we say:
The peace of God is shining in me now.
Let all things shine upon me in that peace,
And let me bless them with the light in me. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 188, W-pI.188.5:6-6:6;9:1-2;10. See also ACIM Lesson 188 Insights.)
The practice of frequently quieting our mind and going to the Light within helps welcome the Holy Spirit’s voice. This is key to letting the Holy Spirit’s insight and guidance into our awareness. He shines His Light upon our thoughts. This Light dispels the dark shadows of ego’s misperceptions, revealing the Love that joins us with all of Reality. With the Holy Spirit’s help we see the truth in our brothers that unites us in the one Self we share as God’s Son.
The more frequently we remember to pause and welcome the peace of God, the greater will be our happiness. We learn to see all things in His Light. And the ego’s darkness fades away as we journey Home to Love.
