Robert:
I always have a choice between two advisors. There is the Advisor Who knows all things, can see the effects of every choice throughout time, is kind and loving and always has my best interest in mind. The other advisor sees everything from the perspective of being separate and so it is defensive, fearful, has a severely limited awareness of the effects of its choices and ultimately wants me dead as the final confirmation that it is right.
The choice for which advisor to follow seems obvious. Yet all too frequently I choose the advisor that knows not about Love because I have deceived myself into thinking that somehow it has something to offer that I want — something I can call my own, a special identity and most importantly a body that I believe I am. This is why I seem to be in a world of form.
The message that I get from A Course in Miracles is that I am God’s Son (along with everyone), complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of His Love. I am not a body. To release myself from identifying with the body is to release myself to experience the infinite Love of God’s creation. This release is accomplished through forgiveness, because the body is a construct built upon the past. Forgiveness is letting go of the past and allowing myself to be fully present in the eternal now, where there is only Love.
My prayer today is to be willing to accept the guidance of the Advisor Who sees me as the Love I am and will guide me to see that Love everywhere.
Mary:
Today it is my opportunity to practice seeing the Light and Love beyond every form. In order to do this, I must be willing to not decide anything on my own. I must be willing to step back and be shown the truth, the Love that is really there. This is my practice for today and I give thanks.
