Accepting a Life of Joy and Peace

⁴No one can doubt the ego’s skill in building up false cases. ⁵Nor can anyone doubt your willingness to listen until you choose not to accept anything except truth. ⁶When you lay the ego aside, it will be gone. ⁷The Holy Spirit’s Voice is as loud as your willingness to listen. ⁸It cannot be louder without violating your freedom of choice, which the Holy Spirit seeks to restore, never to undermine.

The Holy Spirit teaches you to use your body only to reach your brothers, so He can teach His message through you. ²This will heal them and therefore heal you. ³Everything used in accordance with its function as the Holy Spirit sees it cannot be sick. ⁴Everything used otherwise is. ⁵Do not allow the body to be a mirror of a split mind. ⁶Do not let it be an image of your own perception of littleness. ⁷Do not let it [the body] reflect your decision to attack. ⁸Health is seen as the natural state of everything when interpretation is left to the Holy Spirit, Who perceives no attack on anything. ⁹Health is the result of relinquishing all attempts to use the body lovelessly. ¹⁰Health is the beginning of the proper perspective on life under the guidance of the one Teacher Who knows what life is, being the Voice for Life Itself. (A Course in Miracles, T-8.VIII.8:4–9:10. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

“The Love of God is Life. If we reject His Love in favor of separation, we leave ourselves only a loveless dream of life that does not exist in truth. In this dream we believe we are alone and vulnerable to outside ‘forces’ which can take away the ‘life’ we believe is our own.

We can awaken from this frightening dream by being willing to listen to the Holy Spirit’s Voice. He will teach us to see past the dream images to the Love that joins us with every brother and our Creator. Under His guidance we will learn to use the body to bring messages of God’s Love to everyone we meet or think of. We will learn that we share one Life in the Love of our Creator, which is invulnerable to any dream of differences and loss. It is a life of joy and peace.
