Robert: The news is dominated by tomorrow’s election day and the choice we need to make when we vote. This is a time for us to remember what is our role as a teacher of God. A teacher of God is not perfect, but he teaches perfection over and over until he learns it. Perfection is given us all by God. Perfection is Love. That is what we are. In the world of dreams, we have identified with a false image of ourselves that stands as a barrier to the awareness of the perfect Love that we are.
So as we make our decision about who to vote for, we need to remember that only Love is real. We need to be aware of whether our decision is based on fear, lack and separation or on forgiveness, Love, joining and helpfulness. As we make our decision, it is the purpose we give that matters. We have no basis to judge on our own. But as we let the Oneness of Love be our Guide, we will decide based on the Love we see, on joining in oneness, on seeing wholeness in our brothers.
The voting decision is simply another form of decision we make in every instant. In every instant we choose the purpose we give our brother. If we align with the ego, we give our brother the purpose of demonstrating that we are separate. When we align with Holy Spirit, the purpose is to join and remember the holiness in everyone. Today I will practice keeping my mind open to the Holy Spirit’s vision that shows me the holiness in everyone, thereby reminding me of my own. Thus will I bless and be blessed.
Holy Spirit through Mary: Today choose peace. Practice choosing peace again and again as you go through your day. Choosing peace means putting the welcome mat out for the Holy Spirit. Peace is the Holy Spirit’s gift. Choosing peace means that you are willing to accept the gifts of the Holy Spirit. As you accept peace, peace fills your heart and mind. Understanding comes with it. In the Course you are told that peace and understanding go together and are never found alone.
So today, keep it very simple by consistently choosing peace. Choosing peace means allowing the feeling of peace to fill you and guide you. Because you always get what you truly want in your heart of hearts, when choose peace and accept peace, you will receive peace, because of the power of your willingness. Enjoy a peaceful day, brought to you because you want it and are willing to accept it.
