Becoming Aware of Love’s Presence Everywhere

The Holy Spirit undoes illusions without attacking them… He resolves the apparent conflict they engender by perceiving conflict as meaningless. I have said before that the Holy Spirit perceives the conflict exactly as it is, and it is meaningless. The Holy Spirit does not want you to understand conflict; He wants you to realize that, because conflict is meaningless, it is not understandable. As I have already said, understanding brings appreciation and appreciation brings love. Nothing else can be understood, because nothing else [but Love] is real and therefore nothing else has meaning.

If you will keep in mind what the Holy Spirit offers you, you cannot be vigilant for anything but God and His Kingdom. The only reason you may find this hard to accept is because you may still think there is something else. Belief does not require vigilance unless it is conflicted. If it is, there are conflicting components within it that have led to a state of war, and vigilance has therefore become essential. Vigilance has no place in peace. It is necessary against beliefs that are not true, and [vigilance] would never have been called upon by the Holy Spirit if you had not believed the untrue. When you believe something, you have made it true for you. (A Course in Miracles, T-7.VI.6:1,3-7;7:1-7. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The Course repeatedly points out that illusions are meaningless. This fact is the basis for all forgiveness. Only Love is real so it does not need forgiveness. But our belief in illusions blocks our awareness of the eternal presence of Love. These are the barriers to Love’s presence that need to be identified and let go.

Our belief in the reality of illusions is what makes the world seem real to us. We need to be vigilant to identify the illusions we believe in. The practice of bringing these false perceptions to the Holy Spirit to receive His reinterpretation clears the blocks to the awareness of Love’s presence. It will clear the fear and guilt that darkens our world by hiding the Light of Love that is everywhere to be seen.

Holy Spirit, guide my mind today. Show me the vision of Love’s presence beyond the illusions of the ego, for I would remember the Love I am.
