The Practice That Brings Us Joy

A dream of judgment came into the mind that God created perfect as Himself. …⁴It is a dream of judgment. ⁵So must he judge not, and he will waken.

The real world still is but a dream. …what was once a dream of judgment now has changed into a dream where all is joy, because that is the purpose that it has. ⁷Only forgiving dreams can enter here, for time is almost over.

³Your self-betrayal must result in fear, for fear is judgment, leading surely to the frantic search for idols and for death.

Forgiving dreams remind you that you live in safety and have not attacked yourself.… ³Forgiving dreams are kind to everyone who figures in the dream. ⁴And so they bring the dreamer full release from dreams of fear. (A Course in Miracles, T-29.IX.2:1,4-5;7:1,6-7;9:3–10:1,3-4. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Judgment is the glue that binds the ego dream of separation in our mind. It permeates every aspect of the life we experience in this dream. We have opinions about right and wrong, good and bad, myriad differences that distinguish one form from another. All these are judgments which have no place in the unity of God’s Love.

As we learn to relinquish our judgments, the Light of Love dawns upon our mind. We begin to see the Love that is common to all of us. This Love binds us together as one in all of Reality. Only Love is real. This fact awakens in our mind as we learn to forgive, to let go of our judgments.

Today, again, we practice letting Love decide on our behalf. Love sees only Itself everywhere, for It sees only Reality. As we accept Love’s decisions, we experience the joy that is part of Love’s oneness. With this practice, our day will be filled with joy.
