We Return to Truth with Holy Spirit

I take the journey with you. For I share your doubts and fears a little while, that you may come to me who recognize the road by which all fears and doubts are overcome. We walk together. I must understand uncertainty and pain, although I know they have no meaning. Yet a savior must remain with those he teaches, seeing what they see, but still retaining in his mind the way that led him out, and now will lead you out with him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 171, W-pI.V.Int.6:1-5. See also ACIM Lesson 171 Insights.)

The Holy Spirit retains the memory that we never left Heaven and still remain one in God’s perfect Love. The Holy Spirit is our Guide and Companion on the journey out of the dream of separation.

We have had enough of the ego’s painful lessons and are now willing to let our fearful thoughts be replaced by the loving guidance of the Holy Spirit. We take this moment now to welcome Holy Spirit’s healed perception… We practice throughout the day pausing to receive Holy Spirit’s guidance, remembering we know nothing on our own… We join with the Holy Spirit to return to truth today.

We Want Enlightenment

When a mind has only light, it knows only light. Its own radiance shines all around it, and extends out into the darkness of other minds, transforming them into majesty. (A Course in Miracles, T-7.XI.5:1-2. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

As we accept enlightenment, we are brought to the truth. The truth is we are eternal Spirit, at one with every brother and with God. It is through accepting the inspiration of the Holy Spirit that we receive enlightenment. As we are willing to let our minds quiet of all the ego chatter and let go of the past, a pathway is opened to enlightenment.

We want the truth to enter our minds and as we sincerely want it, it will come to us. This is our constant practice today and every day.

The Gifts Forgiveness Brings

Realize that your forgiveness entitles you to vision. Understand that the Holy Spirit never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving. Believe He will not fail you now. You have forgiven the world. He will be with you as you watch and wait. He will show you what true vision sees. It is His Will, and you have joined with Him. Wait patiently for Him. He will be there. The light has come. You have forgiven the world.

Give thanks for mercy and the Love of God. Rejoice in the power of forgiveness to heal your sight completely. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 75, W-pI.75.7,9:3-4. See also ACIM Lesson 75 Insights.)

Today we want to see as Holy Spirit sees. We want to feel the peace true vision brings. We accept Holy Spirit’s gift of grace as we are able to see the innocence and Love in every brother. We feel an inner contentment and sense of safety as we join with the Holy Spirit’s goal of seeing past our thoughts of separation to the truth of Love’s Oneness. All this forgiveness brings and we are filled with gratitude that this is so.

The Journey to God

The journey to God is merely the reawakening of the knowledge of where you are always, and what you are forever. It is a journey without distance to a goal that has never changed. Truth can only be experienced. It cannot be described and it cannot be explained. I can make you aware of the conditions of truth, but the experience is of God. Together we can meet its conditions, but truth will dawn upon you of itself. (A Course in Miracles, T-8.VI.9:6-11. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

The journey to God is simply the process of removing the barriers to the awareness of Love’s presence. Love is eternal, changeless and ever present. Our denial of Love’s presence makes us unaware of It, but has no effect whatsoever on Reality.

Judgment, or unforgiveness, is the mechanism for denying Love’s presence. Thus forgiveness, or letting go of judgment, is how we reawaken to ever present Love. We have taught ourselves well to deny Love. Because of this, we need a Teacher Who remembers the truth for us to help us unlearn the lessons of denial. This is a journey of forgiveness that will let the truth of changeless Love dawn upon our minds.

Love Sees No One as a Body

You who were created by love like itself can hold no grievances and know your Self. To hold a grievance is to forget who you are. To hold a grievance is to see yourself as a body.… It seems to split you off from your Source and make you unlike Him.

It is as sure that those who hold grievances will suffer guilt, as it is certain that those who forgive will find peace. It is as sure that those who hold grievances will forget who they are, as it is certain that those who forgive will remember. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 68, W-pI.68.1:1-3,6;3:2-3. See also ACIM Lesson 68 Insights.)

While the Course does not define Love, it tells us many of Love’s attributes. Love is kind and patient. Love does not condemn; It sees only innocence. Love is changeless and is eternally joyous. And only love Creates and only like Itself.

Our one Self was created by Love as Love. Our true Self has all the attributes of Love. We don’t seem to experience these attributes when we hold grievances because grievances deny Love, which is our true Identity.

This is why the key to remembering What we are is to forgive, let go of grievances, which is the same as letting go of illusions of separation. This is why forgiveness is the key to happiness. If we want to experience Love’s attributes, we need to stop denying the Love we are — we need to let go of all grievances. This is our one function in the world.

Accepting Holy Spirit’s Perception

Forgiveness is the only function meaningful in time. It is the means the Holy Spirit uses to translate specialness from sin into salvation. Forgiveness is for all. But when it rests on all it is complete, and every function of this world completed with it. (A Course in Miracles, T-25.VI.5:3-6. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

As we open to the Holy Spirit, we receive a changed perception. We have an open mind where the Holy Spirit can enter. On this clean and open slate, the Holy Spirit brings a new way of looking at every situation we encounter in this world.

Today we are vigilant to watch our mind for thoughts that do not bring us peace and quiet inner joy. We ask Holy Spirit to help us see the situation differently. When we open to the Light, the Light enters because it is welcomed. We give thanks that the Holy Spirit is always there for us to show us a better way. Accepting Holy Spirit’s perception is forgiveness.

Accepting a Kind and Gentle Way

Truth will correct all errors in my mind. I am mistaken when I think I can be hurt in any way. I am God’s Son, whose Self rests safely in the Mind of God.

I rest in God. I rest in God today, and let Him work in me and through me, while I rest in Him in quiet and in perfect certainty. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 119, W-pI.119.1;120.1. See also ACIM Lesson 119 Insights.)

In the world it seems that most of our days are spent providing for our safety in some way. It seems that no one else will take care of our needs unless we do. We are told that we remain safe in God, though it doesn’t seem like it in the world.

The Course also tells us that God gave us His Helper Who will direct us where to go, what to do, what to say and to whom. To receive that Help, we must give up trying to do anything on our own. When we choose to open our minds in quietness to the Holy Spirit’s inspiration, we are gently led on a peaceful path.

With this Help, we learn to recognize what we don’t really need and what will be truly helpful. With the lead of this Inner Guide, we are inspired in all our doing. Struggle in the world softens. We may still be doing the same activities, but they are done with gentleness and kindness, without judgment or guilt. This comes as we remember we rest in God.
