Vigilance for Thought Purification

Purify my thoughts, Holy Spirit. I am open to Your healing Light. I welcome thought reversal because I am willing to welcome the truth instead of illusions.

As I let my mind be purified, I remember that I am still as God created me and this truth applies to everyone in the dream. Everyone in this dream world of separation is still safe in the Mind of God. There is no death. The one Son of God is still as God created Him, right now. With this mind purification comes peace. In truth we all share the one Mind of God, because we are the one Mind of God. With this purification comes accepting Reality, now and for eternity. In this remembering there is only gratitude, peace and joy.

Joy and peace beyond words are the natural condition of the Kingdom of God, and of His one Son. To be vigilant for God and His Kingdom means that I measure every thought against the condition of the Kingdom. Does this thought foster joy and peace? If it does, it is worthy to be kept in the Mind of God’s Son. If it does not meet this standard, then the thought needs to be let go.

The Holy Spirit’s function in my mind is to help me in this evaluative process. Through my vigilance I accept His help, which will set me free.

Nothing Has Happened to Change God’s One Son

You are as God created you. Today honor your Self. Let graven images you made to be the Son of God instead of what he is be worshipped not today. Deep in your mind the holy Christ in you is waiting your acknowledgment as you.

…Today we make a great advance to truth by letting idols go, and opening our hands and hearts and minds to God today.

…This is the key that opens up the gate of Heaven, and that lets you enter in the peace of God and His eternity. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.110.9:1-4;10:4;11:7)

The birth of Christ is the reawakening to the truth in our minds. As we accept that we are as God created us, we accept the one, loving Self that joins us all. We let go of all the false images that made it look like we were separate and alone. We give joyous welcome to the Love we are and see It everywhere. The appearance of conflict is replaced by the experience of peace. We remember that we remain as God created us. Nothing has happened to change God’s one Son.

Let Truth Return to Our Minds

What am I and where am I in truth? When I am willing to go within and let the Truth be shown to me, I see that this same Truth applies to everyone in the dream that I see as outside myself through the body’s eyes. In truth, I am Spirit. I am the Spirit of Love and peace and joy. I am as God created me. And this one Identity applies to everyone I see in the dream.

When I am willing to go within and receive the Truth, all problems disappear because I am brought to the awareness that anything not of Love could never be. Peace and happiness reigns in this state of mind. The Light has come and I see past the images of separation in the world.

So today my practice is to ask frequently, “What am I and where am I in Truth?” And then step back and let the truth return to my mind. From this state of mind, I see clearly that only Love is real. I join with the Truth in everyone. Here is where peace is found. Letting the truth return to my mind is all that is important for today.

Today is another day to practice making no decisions on my own. To do this, I need to be vigilant for peace. Peace and understanding go together. As I stay in peace, my mind is open to Holy Spirit’s inspiration. And my doing will be motivated by Love.

Waken Gently with Joy

God willed [His Son] waken gently and with joy, and gave him means to waken without fear.

Accept the dream He gave instead of yours. …Rest in the Holy Spirit, and allow His gentle dreams to take the place of those you dreamed in terror and in fear of death. (A Course in Miracles T-27.VII.13:5,14:1,3)

The ego would have us believe that God is to be feared. This is simply a projection of the ego belief in the reality of separation and the guilt that is its consequence. This passage from the Course is an assurance that fear of God is never justified. In fact, He has given us the means to awaken without fear, to let the dream end gently. The Holy Spirit offers us the means to forgive or let go of the idea that separation could ever occur. As we let the Holy Spirit help us forgive, we make way for the Holy Spirit’s happy dream in which we recognize the innocence of every brother and ourselves.

Today our practice is to stay in peace where the Holy Spirit will help us let go of the mistaken belief in guilt. In peace, we will see the truth in our brother and ourselves. In peace, the Holy Spirit will help us let go of the barriers to love we have made, and we will remember the joy of unity in the reality of Love.

Welcoming Holy Spirit’s Gifts

The Holy Spirit’s gifts are always there, waiting for us to be willing to receive them. His gifts of Light and joy and peace change the way we view the world. Today is a day of welcoming His gifts so that we will remember the real Home we all share in God.

What a beautiful way to spend Christmas day — receiving God’s gifts and sharing them with all. We are all one with God’s Love and now is the time to remember it. O holy day! O happy day! Let us celebrate this joyful day of remembering the truth and share it with the world.

Christmas comes from the tradition of celebrating a mass for Christ — of celebrating the innocence and Love and peace of Christ. As we learn in the Course, this Christ is the truth in all of us. Let us today celebrate the truth in our brothers by accepting Holy Spirit’s help to see with the vision of Christ. What greater gift can we give to our brothers and ourselves than to see the truth in us all.

Choose to Rest in the Truth

Every day there seems to be a tug of war between which part of my mind I’m going to give attention to. Am I going to continue with the old habit of subscribing to the ego thought system? Or am I going to shift my attention to the Holy Spirit, the truth in my mind? The first option always brings uncertainty and at least an underlying, if not overt fear and guilt. The second option brings deep peace, confidence and the joy of knowing that I am Love and nothing else.

Looking at the consequences of these options, the obvious choice is to welcome the truth in my mind and disregard the ego thought system. With the strength of the Holy Spirit in me, I can reverse the old habit and choose to rest in the truth in my mind. This is my practice today.

Welcoming God’s Judgment

Time pauses as eternity comes near, and silence lies across the world that everyone may hear this Judgment of the Son of God:

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

What is your judgment of the world, teacher of God? 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.

You who are sometimes sad and sometimes angry; who sometimes feel your just due is not given you, and your best efforts meet with lack of appreciation and even contempt; give up these foolish thoughts! They are too small and meaningless to occupy your holy mind an instant longer. God’s Judgment waits for you to set you free. (A Course in Miracles M-15.1:10-12;2:9-13;3:1-3)

Recognizing what God’s Judgment really is makes my heart sing. It means I am accepting the truth of What I am. It is a complete reversal of the world’s thinking, which is always depressing because it is the denial of Love. Welcoming God’s Judgment means welcoming Love. There is nothing else I really want.

It is very helpful for me to remember that I am at peace forever in the Heart of God. It is particularly helpful to return to this when I think something in the world is not going to my liking. Remembering frequently that I am at peace forever in the Heart of God is my practice for today. Because we are one, this is true for the whole Sonship. This goes a long way toward undoing the dream stories of the world. God’s one Son is at peace forever in the Heart of God. And for this I give thanks.
