Choosing the Holy Spirit’s Lessons in Love

Heaven is the decision I must make.

You need to be reminded that you think a thousand choices are confronting you, when there is really only one to make. And even this but seems to be a choice. Do not confuse yourself with all the doubts that myriad decisions would induce. You make but one. And when that one is made, you will perceive it was no choice at all. For truth is true, and nothing else is true. There is no opposite to choose instead. There is no contradiction to the truth.

Choosing depends on learning. …Decisions are the outcome of your learning, for they rest on what you have accepted as the truth of what you are, and what your needs must be.

We make the choice for Heaven as we wake, and spend five minutes making sure that we have made the one decision that is sane. We recognize we make a conscious choice between what has existence and what has nothing but an appearance of the truth.

Heaven is the decision I must make. I make it now, and will not change my mind, because it is the only thing I want. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 138, W-pI.138.4;5:1,6;11:1-2;12:5-6. See also ACIM Lesson 138 Insights.)

The ego is the mastermind of complications. It does not want us to find the one thing we really want — the Love we are. It covers this Love with a thick veil of images which lead us to believe there are many choices to be made to reach our goal. The problem is the ego’s goal is to avoid Love, not find It. It is terrified of Love because if we were to find It, Love’s oneness would dismiss the ego for the nothingness it is. The ego would simply cease to seem to be.

We make the choice for Heaven by choosing the Holy Spirit as our Teacher instead of the ego. His goal is to teach us What we are. His lessons always teach that no form is real, no differences exist in truth. Only the oneness of Love is real. The emptiness we have felt in the world reflects our heart’s yearning to awaken to our true Self, forever at home in Heaven.
