Receiving Love’s Blessings in Quiet

…at times most suitable for silence, give ten minutes set apart from listening to the world, and choose instead a gentle listening to the Word of God. ²He speaks from nearer than your heart to you. ³His Voice is closer than your hand. ⁴His Love is everything you are and that He is; the same as you, and you the same as He.

It is your voice to which you listen as He speaks to you. ²It is your word He speaks. ³It is the Word of freedom and of peace, of unity of will and purpose, with no separation nor division in the single Mind of Father and of Son. ⁴In quiet listen to your Self today, and let Him tell you God has never left His Son, and you have never left your Self.

Only be quiet. ²You will need no rule but this, to let your practicing today lift you above the thinking of the world, and free your vision from the body’s eyes. ³Only be still and listen. ⁴You will hear the Word in which the Will of God the Son joins in His Father’s Will, at one with it, with no illusions interposed between the wholly indivisible and true. ⁵As every hour passes by today, be still a moment and remind yourself you have a special purpose for this day; in quiet to receive the Word of God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 125, W-125.7:1–9:5. See also ACIM Lesson 125 Insights.)

The body’s eyes are only capable of seeing ego-made illusions of separation. As long as we give credence to the body’s eyes, we will be unaware of Christ’s vision, which shows us the reality of Love’s unity.

When we pause to step back from our attention on the world to be quiet and welcome Christ’s vision, we free ourselves from the limitations of the body’s eyes. We open to the recognition of our true Mind, forever at one with the Mind of God. It’s a simple step that can bring a profound shift in our experience. The chaos of the world fades and the peace and Love of God come forward. We remember how blessed we are as a Son of God.

It takes consistent practice to step away from the habit of paying attention to the world. But by being still, we awaken and let the Love and peace of God fill the part of our mind we have tried to separate off into a make-believe world. We need only be still and welcome this transformation in our mind.
