Step Back and Let Him Lead the Way

Mary:
Yesterday during the Sunday Service teleconference, we read together the last section of the Text in A Course in Miracles titled, “Choose Once Again.” It was such a powerful lesson to read as a group with all the sharing. I was reminded that I am always choosing between illusions and the truth.

Today I have another opportunity to remember the truth that we all are Spirit and nothing else. We all are still as God created us and nothing has happened to change God’s one Son. Today I am presented with another opportunity to remember that only the truth is true and nothing else is true. The eternal Spirit that lies within us all is what is true. Anything that changes within the realm of time and space is not true.

This is my opportunity today to choose once again with Holy Spirit as my guide. My only job is to step back and let Him lead the way. This is how I am saved from believing in illusions. Giving time in the service of awakening is my only function, and I give thanks that the Holy Spirit is right there, leading the way.

Robert:
I rest in God. That is the changeless truth about everyone. I rest in God. Rest can be found nowhere else, for in truth there is nowhere else.

As I practice observing my thoughts, it seems amazing that I so frequently let my thoughts wander into thoughts of judgment, vulnerability and loss. In God loss is impossible. That is why only in God is true rest possible. What is changeless is perfect peace because there is no “threat” of change or loss.

The environment of changelessness is my natural home. If anything disturbs my peace, any thought, any judgment of a circumstance or some “other” person, I have forgotten Where I am in truth. I have forgotten What I am and am believing in a false image of my identity. In truth I rest in God. If I am not experiencing the rest of perfect peace, I am believing in an illusion of my identity.

When I recognize this, there is a simple remedy: Bring the thought to the Holy Spirit and ask for His gentle correction. When I am willing to step back and let Him lead the way, I am always led to changeless peace.
