There is no life outside of Heaven. Where God created life, there life must be. In any state apart from Heaven life is illusion. At best it seems like life; at worst, like death. Yet both are judgments on what is not life, equal in their inaccuracy and lack of meaning. Life not in Heaven is impossible, and what is not in Heaven is not anywhere. Outside of Heaven, only the conflict of illusion stands; senseless, impossible and beyond all reason, and yet perceived as an eternal barrier to Heaven. Illusions are but forms. Their content is never true.
How can you know whether you chose the stairs to Heaven or the way to hell? Quite easily. How do you feel? Is peace in your awareness? Are you certain which way you go? And are you sure the goal of Heaven can be reached? If not, you walk alone. Ask, then, your Friend to join with you, and give you certainty of where you go. (A Course in Miracles, T-23.II.19:1-9;22:6-13)
The Holy Spirit is our Guide out of hell to return to full awareness that we remain safely in Heaven. We choose the ego as our guide only because it seems to offer something that we value more than Heaven. In the Light of truth, this seems insane, and it is. But in the darkness of the ego thought system, our belief makes the insane seem sane. We need the Holy Spirit’s Light to shine away the darkness.
A Course in Miracles shows us the insanity of the ego thought system to motivate us to choose another Guide. Today we choose to walk with the Holy Spirit as our Guide. With His help we will recognize the nothingness of the ego’s images and welcome the reality of our Home in Love. This is our practice for today.
