Robert:
All I really want is to be happy. A Course in Miracles tells me that God’s Will for me is perfect happiness. So if I want to be happy, all I need to do is accept God’s Will as my own.
But if I think forms in the world will make me happy, I will seek those forms and deny God’s Will for me. I will seem to experience happiness when those forms that I value show up in my perception. But because the forms are empty images, they will not last. And with their disappearance, the happiness I seem to feel will fall away. This is the cycle that comes with the ego’s mantra, “Seek and do not find.”
The key to accepting and experiencing the happiness God has given me is to withdraw the value I have given to forms in the world. Forgiveness is how I withdraw value from the images of the world. As I practice letting Holy Spirit guide all my seeing, I am freed of false values and I make way for the changeless happiness and Love of God.
Today is another happy day of practice in stepping back and letting Holy Spirit lead the way.
Mary:
Do I want God’s oneness or do I want the ego’s images of separation? The world I see will reflect what I want to see.
Asking myself this question frequently today will help bring me back to what I really want. I want to remember God’s Love. I want to extend God’s Love. Asking this question frequently will help me remember to let the Holy Spirit show me the truth of oneness behind the ego’s images of separation. This practice helps me remember that Heaven is here, right now. Anything else is just an illusion that is not true. This how I wake up to Where I am eternally, and I joyfully see that everyone is There with me. Heaven is the decision I must make.
