My thoughts are images that I have made. Whatever I see reflects my thoughts. It is my thoughts that tell me where I am and what I am. The fact that I see a world in which there is suffering and loss and death shows me that I am seeing only the representation of my insane thoughts, and am not allowing my real thoughts to cast their beneficent light on what I see. Yet God’s way is sure. The images I have made cannot prevail against Him because it is not my will that they do so. My will is His, and I will place no other gods before Him. (, A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 53, W-pI.53.5. See also ACIM Lesson 53 Insights.)
Our real thoughts are the thoughts we share with God. Because God is only Love, our real thoughts are thoughts of Love.
By allowing ourselves to tune in to peace, remember peace, we reconnect with our real thoughts to see the real world. When we disconnect from reality, we are out of peace, in chaos. We are fearful because nothing is dependable and we feel vulnerable. We can pull ourselves out of fear by tuning in to peace and reconnecting with our real thoughts, the Thoughts of the Holy Spirit. We remember that we are in the Mind of Source, and that our will is His Will. We determined to maintain our awareness of Who we are — the Son of God in the Mind of God.
Maintaining a consistent attitude of gratitude helps us open the door to peace. It keeps us out of the defense mode. As we are grateful for God’s gifts of Love, peace and joy, we welcome them into our daily experience.
