The Holy Spirit’s Lessons in Love

Since you believe that you are separate, Heaven presents itself to you as separate, too. ²Not that it is in truth, but that the link that has been given you to join the truth may reach to you through what you understand. ³Father and Son and Holy Spirit are as One, as all your brothers join as one in truth. ⁴Christ and His Father never have been separate, and Christ abides within your understanding, in the part of you that shares His Father’s Will. ⁵The Holy Spirit links the other part—the tiny, mad desire to be separate, different and special—to the Christ, to make the oneness clear to what is really one. ⁶In this world this is not understood, but can be taught.

The Holy Spirit serves Christ’s purpose in your mind, so that the aim of specialness can be corrected where the error lies. ²Because His purpose still is one with both the Father and the Son, He knows the Will of God and what you really will. ³But this is understood by mind perceived as one, aware that it is one, and so experienced. ⁴It is the Holy Spirit’s function to teach you how this oneness is experienced, what you must do that it can be experienced, and where you should go to do it.

“⁵And [the Holy Spirit] must use all learning to transfer illusions to the truth, taking all false ideas of what you are, and leading you beyond them to the truth that is beyond them. (A Course in Miracles, T-25.I.5:1–6:4;7:5. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Left to our own devices, we would have condemned ourselves to a loveless dream, which ends in death. God could not let this happen to His one Son, Who remains forever united with Him in the Mind of Love. His Answer to the insane wish for specialness is the Holy Spirit. This unbreakable Link saves us from our own condemnation that would leave us eternally searching for Love but unable to find it.

No matter how deeply we have enmeshed ourselves with the ego’s thought system of separation, the Holy Spirit is always available to us. His purpose is to teach us to look beyond the veil that belief in separation makes. We can call upon Him in every moment to help us see the truth of Love’s presence everywhere. That is His purpose and He performs it perfectly according to God’s Will.

We want to remember the Love we are. This is our heart’s desire. Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s lessons in Love which show us that we dwell in Love eternally, now and forever. In gratitude we accept His lessons.
