Living A Course in Miracles — Accepting Holy Spirit’s Gift of Peace

Accepting God’s Strength in You

It is God’s strength in you that is the light in which you see, as it is His Mind with which you think. His strength denies your weakness. It is your weakness that sees through the body’s eyes, peering about in darkness to behold the likeness of itself;…

Strength overlooks [weakness] by seeing past appearances. It keeps its steady gaze upon the light that lies beyond them. It unites with light, of which it is a part. It sees itself. It brings the light in which your Self appears. In darkness you perceive a self that is not there. Strength is the truth about you;… (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.92.3:1-3;4:1-7)

Because the ego is the denial of the Source of our strength, it is always showing us images that portray our seeming weakness. They are false images which have no substance. It is only our belief that makes it seem that we are weak and vulnerable.

But there is another way to see that shows us the opposite of what the ego would have us believe. We receive this other way of seeing as we let go of the denial of our unity with our Source. As we accept that God is our Source, we experience His strength, which was given us in our creation and remains eternally ours.

Whenever we feel uncertain, vulnerable, fearful or guilty, we can use this as a reminder to take this appearance to the truth in our minds, the Holy Spirit. As we open to the Holy Spirit’s Light, It shines away the false ideas and shows us the Light in our brothers and ourselves. With this practice, our experience of the world changes from feeling that we need to protect ourselves from all forms of harm to the welcome and joyful experience of recognizing the Love in everyone and the strength of that Love in ourselves. Our experience of the world becomes increasingly joyful and peaceful. It is worth the practice.

We Are One with God’s Mind

There is only one Mind in truth and that is the Mind of God. The Sonship resides in the Mind of God, whether we remember it or not.

Our practice for today is to open to the truth of Where we really reside. We are in God’s Mind, one with God’s Mind. Our practice for today is to take all our wandering thoughts to the one Self That is our true Identity. Our one Self knows what to do with these thoughts. In God’s Light, they merely disappear. We make this a spectacular day by being willing to accept that we are one with God’s Mind.
