Robert:
There is a line in A Course in Miracles that says we are far too tolerant of mind wandering. As I look back at my thoughts during the day it is clear that my thoughts wander around the ego thought system a lot. Yet I am grateful that the Course’s training program has helped me become much quicker at recognizing that I have gotten off the path that leads to healing and awakening. I am not as tolerant of mindless thinking as I used to be.
Today I dedicate to the practice of mindfulness to recognize when my thoughts are engaged in separation thinking. With that recognition I also commit to offering these thoughts to Holy Spirit with willingness to receive His perception in place of my own. This is how I will learn to look past appearances and experience the happiness that comes with the recognition that I remain Love as Love created me.
Mary:
When I find myself once again getting wrapped up in the world I see, this sentence helps me step back enough to receive the truth: “You travel but in dreams, while safe at Home.” (ACIM T-13.VII.17:7)
I find that I need this reminder frequently because as I look through the body’s eyes, limitation and lack often appear very real. As I go to the Holy Spirit in quietness, the mind healing I need fills my mind with peace. The truth is we are all safe in God’s loving Light. We cannot leave God’s heavenly Mind. We can relax now. We have been given all of God, which is all there is in truth, and we cannot disinherit what God gives. It is always there as we become willing to open to the truth.
