The Reward of Vigilance

…we watch our thoughts, appealing silently to Him Who sees the elements of truth in them. ⁴Let Him evaluate each thought that comes to mind, remove the elements of dreams, and give them back again as clean ideas that do not contradict the Will of God.

Give Him your thoughts, and He will give them back as miracles which joyously proclaim the wholeness and the happiness God wills His Son, as proof of His eternal Love. ²And as each thought is thus transformed, it takes on healing power from the Mind which saw the truth in it, and failed to be deceived by what was falsely added. ³All the threads of fantasy are gone. ⁴And what remains is unified into a perfect Thought that offers its perfection everywhere.

²Your ministry begins as all your thoughts are purified. ³So are you taught to teach the Son of God the holy lesson of his sanctity. ⁴No one can fail to listen, when you hear the Voice for God give honor to God’s Son. ⁵And everyone will share the thoughts with you which He has retranslated in your mind. (A Course in Miracles, W-151.13:3–14:4;15:2-5. See also ACIM Lesson 151 Insights.)

We have trained our minds to give unquestioning allegiance to the ego’s scheme to make specialness and separation seem real. This allegiance has brought us the experience of pain and suffering, guilt and fear.

The Course provides a mind training program to show us the price of our allegiance to the ego. This helps us to question if we are getting what we really want. As we become willing to consider that there must be a better way, we are open to the lessons the Course offers that help us shift our allegiance to the Holy Spirit in our mind. This willingness is the key to our return Home.

Now is the time to give allegiance to the Holy Spirit and His lessons in Love. He will transform our mistaken perceptions into healing opportunities to let Love replace fear, innocence replace guilt, peace replace conflict and joy replace sadness. All this is already given us by our Creator. We need only follow the Guide Whose mission is to return us to full awareness of God’s gifts. It takes vigilance, but the reward is awakening to Heaven.
