You whose mind is darkened by doubt and guilt, remember this: God gave the Holy Spirit to you, and gave Him the mission to remove all doubt and every trace of guilt that His dear Son has laid upon himself. It is impossible that this mission fail. Nothing can prevent what God would have accomplished from accomplishment. Whatever your reactions to the Holy Spirit’s Voice may be, whatever voice you choose to listen to, whatever strange thoughts may occur to you, God’s Will is done. You will find the peace in which He has established you, because He does not change His Mind. He is invariable as the peace in which you dwell, and of which the Holy Spirit reminds you.
Learn that even the darkest nightmare that disturbs the mind of God’s sleeping Son holds no power over him. He will learn the lesson of awaking. God watches over him and light surrounds him.
Can God’s Son lose himself in dreams, when God has placed within him the glad Call to waken and be glad? He cannot separate himself from what is in him. His sleep will not withstand the Call to wake. The mission of redemption will be fulfilled as surely as the creation will remain unchanged throughout eternity. You do not have to know that Heaven is yours to make it so. It is so. Yet to know it, the Will of God must be accepted as your will.
The Holy Spirit will undo for you everything you have learned that teaches that what is not true must be reconciled with truth. (A Course in Miracles, T-13.XI.5;9:5-11:1. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
The ego is at war with God because it stands for everything that is opposite to God. Yet only the Love of God is real so nothing opposite to God exists. God does not do battle with what does not exist.
When we identify with the ego, we believe God is our enemy and we are afraid of His Will. We are afraid of Love, peace and happiness. This makes no sense because the ego makes no sense, being insane. Though we seem to be lost in the ego, we can never lose our connection with our Source. The truth of Heaven and eternal Love is in us, no matter how real images of destruction and death appear to be. The truth of What we are cannot be changed, though it can be hidden by illusionary images of separation.
There is a way out of this self-made hell. We need to choose to listen to a voice other than the ego — the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will patiently and lovingly teach us that the ego’s world is false and only Love is true. We need only be willing to bring all our thoughts to the Holy Spirit for His reinterpretation. This is how we will learn to distinguish the reality of Love from the ego thought system of specialness and separation. Each time we accept the Holy Spirit’s kind lessons, we move forward on our journey of awakening to the certainty of Heaven. This is a great day to practice!
