Bringing the Light of Love to the World

Like any good teacher, the Holy Spirit knows more than you do now, but He teaches only to make you equal with Him. ²You had already taught yourself wrongly, having believed what was not true. ³You did not believe in your own perfection. ⁴Would God teach you that you had made a split mind, when He knows your mind only as whole? ⁵What God does know is that His communication channels are not open to Him, so that He cannot impart His joy and know that His children are wholly joyous. ⁶Giving His joy is an ongoing process, not in time but in eternity. ⁷God’s extending outward, though not His completeness, is blocked when the Sonship does not communicate with Him as one. ⁸So He thought, “My children sleep and must be awakened.

How can you wake children in a more kindly way than by a gentle Voice that will not frighten them, but will merely remind them that the night is over and the light has come? ²You do not inform them that the nightmares that frightened them so badly are not real, because children believe in magic. ³You merely reassure them that they are safe now. ⁴Then you train them to recognize the difference between sleeping and waking, so they will understand they need not be afraid of dreams. ⁵And so when bad dreams come, they will themselves call on the light to dispel them.

⁴The Holy Spirit makes no distinction among dreams. ⁵He merely shines them away. ⁶His light is always the Call to awaken, whatever you have been dreaming. ⁷Nothing lasting lies in dreams, and the Holy Spirit, shining with the light from God Himself, speaks only for what lasts forever. (A Course in Miracles, T-6.V.1:1–2:5;4:4-7. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

God is eternally giving all of His joy to His Son. If we are not experiencing His joy, we are simply engaged with a dream that isolates our mind from our true nature. We have been given a gentle Voice that calls us to awaken. It reminds us that we are forever safe in our Father’s Love. It is ours, now and forever.

Let us pause, if at least for a moment, to step back from the busyness in the world and let our mind be quiet. In quiet, the Holy Spirit shows us that we remain safe, protected from any harm by our Father’s warm embrace. His vision helps us see past our perceived problems to the one Love we share with all creation. With a peaceful mind, we resume our appointed way to bring the Light of Love to the world.
