The Intention That Brings Us Peace

God’s Voice speaks to me all through the day.

It is quite possible to listen to God’s Voice all through the day without interrupting your regular activities in any way. ²The part of your mind in which truth abides is in constant communication with God, whether you are aware of it or not.

The part that is listening to the Voice for God is calm, always at rest and wholly certain. ²It is really the only part there is. ³The other part is a wild illusion, frantic and distraught, but without reality of any kind. ⁴Try today not to listen to it. ⁵Try to identify with the part of your mind where stillness and peace reign forever. ⁶Try to hear God’s Voice call to you lovingly, reminding you that your Creator has not forgotten His Son.

Listen in deep silence. ²Be very still and open your mind. ³Go past all the raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your real thoughts and obscure your eternal link with God. ⁴Sink deep into the peace that waits for you beyond the frantic, riotous thoughts and sights and sounds of this insane world. ⁵You do not live here. ⁶We are trying to reach your real home. ⁷We are trying to reach the place where you are truly welcome. ⁸We are trying to reach God.

…be sure to sit quietly and repeat the idea for today whenever you can, closing your eyes on the world, and realizing that you are inviting God’s Voice to speak to you. (A Course in Miracles, W-49.1:1-2;2;4;5:3. See also ACIM Lesson 49 Insights.)

There is a part of us that is in constant communication with our Father. It never sleeps. But we have buried this part under the constant chatter of the ego, keeping us preoccupied with maintaining the seeming reality of individuality and separate bodies.

We have the means to direct our attention to the Voice that speaks to us of our Home in perfect peace, joy without limit and oneness in eternal Love. This access begins with willingness to become aware of the center of stillness within. The more we practice focusing on this quiet center, the more easily we will open our mind to listen to this Voice.

In quietness, we welcome the message of our oneness in Love. We see past the dream figures and recognize the Light that illuminates our mind with the truth that we are Love eternally. When we start the day with this intention, and practice pausing frequently throughout the day, we will experience a day of happiness and peace.
