³The Holy Spirit is the Mind of the Atonement. ⁴He represents a state of mind close enough to One-mindedness that transfer to it is at last possible. ⁵Perception is not knowledge, but it can be transferred to knowledge, or cross over into it. ⁶It might even be more helpful here to use the literal meaning of transferred or “carried over,” since the last step is taken by God.
The Holy Spirit, the shared Inspiration of all the Sonship, induces a kind of perception in which many elements are like those in the Kingdom of Heaven itself:
²First, its universality is perfectly clear, and no one who attains it could believe for one instant that sharing it involves anything but gain.
³Second, it is incapable of attack and is therefore truly open. ⁴This means that although it does not engender knowledge, it does not obstruct it in any way.
⁵Finally, it points the way beyond the healing that it brings, and leads the mind beyond its own integration toward the paths of creation. ⁶It is at this point that sufficient quantitative change occurs to produce a real qualitative shift. (A Course in Miracles, T-5.I.6:3–7:6. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
The Holy Spirit is in the mind of every Son of God, without exception. His presence unifies the oneness of the Sons of God. It is a reminder that God sees all His Sons as one.
We have bought into the belief that separation is real. This belief leads us to perceive separate Sons of God. It is only our own projection of the belief in separation that makes “others” appear to be different and separate from ourselves. The Holy Spirit recognizes this misperception but does not believe it. This is why He is the means to awaken us to the one Mind we share with every brother and with God.
Today we dedicate to holding our mind open to the Holy Spirit’s inspiration. Through accepting His inspiration, our thoughts, words and deeds will awaken us to our unity in the oneness of Love.
