Living A Course in Miracles — Trust in the Spirit of Love, Our True Identity

Make Way for Love

Because the ego believes that form is meaning, it always advises to do something, anything in the world. Doing “stuff” is how the ego tries to make meaning. Yet the Course is telling us that meaning comes from content, not form. And the only real content is Love. We experience meaning when we extend Love and join in the oneness of Love. Following the ego’s guidance to meaning leaves only emptiness because form is not content and is not real.

So when we take time to quiet our minds and be open to Love’s vision, the ego tells us that we are wasting our time. It brings up all kinds of excuses not to go to quiet or to peace. It is these defenses against Love that we need to let go and move past. As we move past the forms, we open the door to the experience of Love’s presence, the experience of joining with the one Self we all share. It is time to set aside excuses and make way for Love.

I Put Holy Spirit in Charge of My Thoughts Today

Let us today be children of the truth, and not deny our holy heritage. Our life is not as we imagine it. Who changes life because he shuts his eyes, or makes himself what he is not because he sleeps, and sees in dreams an opposite to what he is? We will not ask for death [separation] in any form today. Nor will we let imagined opposites to life abide even an instant where the Thought of life eternal has been set by God Himself.

His holy home we strive to keep today as He established it, and wills it be forever and forever. He is Lord of what we think today.” (A Course in Miracles W-pI.167.10,11:1-2)

Today my practice is to let go of the stories of separation. My practice is to let the Holy Spirit be in charge of what I think today. There is only one life, one mind. We are not separate people with separate minds. In order to put Holy Spirit in charge, I must let go of thinking that there could ever be something other than the one Mind of Love. Here there is peace. And for this I give thanks.

The world is a projection. If I believe in the idea of separation, I will see it reflected back to me everywhere. Loss and lack will seem real. Fear and guilt will seem justified. I am grateful that there is another option. I can align with the truth by choosing Holy Spirit to guide my thoughts. As I make this choice more and more consistently, I will see God’s Love reflected back to me more and more. Images of separation will fade into the Light of His Love until that Light is all there is to see. This is my practice for today.

God’s Eternal Judgement

Holy are you, eternal, free and whole, at peace forever in the Heart of God. Where is the world, and where is sorrow now?…

Have you yet learned to stand aside and hear the Voice of Judgment in yourself? Or do you still attempt to take His role from Him? Learn to be quiet, for His Voice is heard in stillness. And His Judgment comes to all who stand aside in quiet listening, and wait for Him. (A Course in Miracles M-15.1:11-12,2:10-13)

Despite all the fear and guilt we experience in the world, God never changes His mind about us. His judgment of us is an eternal blessing that holds us dear to His Heart and blesses us with the proclamation of our innocence.

What a relief to be reminded of this. We can set aside the dark cloak of fear and guilt and let the Light of Love that we were created to be shine forth and join with all our brothers in the Heart of God. This is where we have always been. We need only be quiet and let God’s Voice remind us that we are at peace forever in His Heart.
