Accepting the Holy Spirit’s Judgment

³You cannot judge. ⁴You merely can believe the ego’s judgments, all of which are false. ⁵It guides your senses carefully, to prove how weak you are; how helpless and afraid, how apprehensive of just punishment, how black with sin, how wretched in your guilt.

⁶Let Him be Judge… of everything that seems to happen to you in this world. ⁷His lessons will enable you to bridge the gap between illusions and the truth.

He will remove all faith that you have placed in pain, disaster, suffering and loss. ²He gives you vision which can look beyond these grim appearances, and can behold the gentle face of Christ in all of them. ³You will no longer doubt that only good can come to you who are beloved of God, for He will judge all happenings, and teach the single lesson that they all contain.

He will select the elements in them which represent the truth, and disregard those aspects which reflect but idle dreams. ²And He will reinterpret all you see, and all occurrences, each circumstance, and every happening that seems to touch on you in any way from His one frame of reference, wholly unified and sure. ³And you will see the love beyond the hate, the constancy in change, the pure in sin, and only Heaven’s blessing on the world. (A Course in Miracles, W-151.4:3-5;9:6–11:3. See also ACIM Lesson 151 Insights.)

We live in the oneness of Love. That is the frame of reference on which the Holy Spirit judges all things. Being the only Reality, nothing exists outside of Love.

When we identify with the ego and its central figure the body, the Holy Spirit’s reference is invisible. We do not realize where we live in truth. And so, every day seems to be one of struggling to survive. Our identity seems to be vulnerable to change. We need to defend it against external forces which we cannot control. This is not a peaceful existence.

While we seem to struggle, the Holy Spirit knows we remain safe in the changelessness of God’s Love. He speaks to us of Love. If we are willing to quiet our minds and welcome His judgment that only Love is real, we free ourselves from the dream of vulnerability and weakness. We see past the images to the presence of Love. We feel the safety and strength of God’s Love in us and all around. Today we practice keeping our mind open to the Holy Spirit’s judgment.
