Accept and Extend Peace

Mary:
In our reading in A Course in Miracles Text this morning, this was particularly helpful: “Peace will be yours because His peace still flows to you from Him Whose Will is peace. You have it now. The Holy Spirit will teach you how to use it, and by extending it, to learn that it is in you.” (ACIM T-13.XI.8:4-6)

I am being reminded here that God’s peace is still flowing to all of us. We all have it now. My job is to listen to the Holy Spirit Who will teach me how to accept peace and extend peace. This is how I can be truly helpful. This is my real job today behind the mundane physical duties that show up through the day. Accepting peace and extending peace is our one deeper purpose. It is what each day is really for. And I give thanks.

Robert:
I am learning that the appearances in the world are form and are therefore not content. The only real content in any moment is Love. And in this world there can also be a call for love when there is belief in lack. This is the only meaningful content in anything in the world.

The ego is incapable of recognizing content because it cannot understand Love. Consequently the ego always reacts to form, oblivious to content. When I pay attention to the ego, the world is full of conflict and change. Nothing can be counted on. Even periods of seeming happiness do not last when they are based on form.

The way to move past the uncertainty of the world is to look past the forms to the content. I cannot do this while I believe I am on my own. But the Holy Spirit in my mind is ever-present ready to show me the real content beyond the form. To receive His gift, I need to redirect my attention by focusing on maintaining a state of peacefulness and to practice listening for His kind and gentle guidance. Today I would walk with Him and see as He sees, for I would remember that I dwell in Love.
