The Holy Spirit asks of you but this; bring to Him every secret you have locked away from Him. Open every door to Him, and bid Him enter the darkness and lighten it away. At your request He enters gladly. He brings the light to darkness if you make the darkness open to Him. But what you hide He cannot look upon. He sees for you, and unless you look with Him He cannot see. The vision of Christ is not for Him alone, but for Him with you. Bring, therefore, all your dark and secret thoughts to Him, and look upon them with Him. He holds the light, and you the darkness. They cannot coexist when both of You together look on them. His judgment must prevail, and He will give it to you as you join your perception to His.
The single vision which the Holy Spirit offers you will bring this oneness to your mind with clarity and brightness so intense you could not wish, for all the world, not to accept what God would have you have. (A Course in Miracles, T-14.VII.6;7:7. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
The Holy Spirit cannot come where He is not welcome. As we practice bringing all our thoughts to Him with willingness to receive His help, His Light will shine away the darkness of belief in separation. Separation denies the Light of Love’s oneness. In every moment we have a choice. Do we want to maintain the illusion of a separate self with its private domain? Or would we welcome the Light that will show us the limitless Love that unites us with God’s oneness?
Today we dedicate to the practice of pausing to welcome the Holy Spirit to join His Vision with ours. With Him we will see past the ego’s dark shadows to the living Light of Love that shines in every brother. This is the one Self we are as God’s one Son. Here we find peace and safety. Here we find joy and the continuous flow of Love to Love.
