Who Am I? Where Am I?

Whenever we feel disturbed, it is because we do not remember Who we are and Where we are. We are believing in a false image of ourselves that is vulnerable and capable of loss. We need a reality check.

The first step toward a reality check is to pause when we notice any disturbance to our peace… Then we focus on the center of peace that is within us… We open to the experience of peace as much as we can and ask the Holy Spirit to help us see as He sees…

The Holy Spirit never forgets Who we are and Where we are. He knows we are God’s Son, at one with Him in Heaven, complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of His Love. If we are willing to open our minds to the Holy Spirit’s gentle correction, He will remind us of Who we are and Where we are.

As we let the memory of our true Self return to our awareness, we return to our natural state of peace. This is our practice for today.

We Stay Open for Inspiration

The Holy Spirit needs a quiet open mind in order to have Its messages be received by us. Our opportunity today is to practice opening up to Divine Inspiration. God’s Will for us is perfect happiness. God’s Will for us that we remember What we are and Where we are eternally — in the one Mind of eternal Love.

Today we give more time in quiet listening instead of thinking we already know the answer to the “problems” that come up through the day. We are willing to let our minds be changed. We are willing to recognize the problem so it can be solved. We let go of our belief in a world outside ourselves. We do this by staying open to the Holy Spirit’s Inspiration all through the day.

Accepting Serenity and Peace from Our True Self

Serenity and perfect peace are mine, because I am one Self, completely whole, at one with all creation and with God. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.113.1:2)

Today our practice is to focus on accepting God’s serenity and perfect peace all through the day. It is our highest priority. As we let the Holy Spirit guide is in all things, we are accepting God’s serenity and perfect peace. Today we remain vigilant to let ourselves be carried by the Holy Spirit through every activity. And it will be a day of serenity and peace.

Today We Have One Purpose

Our one purpose today is to see past the world to the One Mind of God That is everywhere. Today we practice seeing past the circumstances of the ever-changing patterns of the ego’s stories. We welcome the truth and accept it when it comes. We know our one purpose is to see past the world to the truth that we all are still as God created us.

We are all God’s Love extending God’s Love forever. We have one purpose of accepting God as God is today. God is One; there is nothing else.

Seeing Through Forgiving Eyes

The mind that sees only innocence has forgiven the world for what it thought it was. On the other hand, the mind that looks for guilt is bound to the world of pain, fear and suffering. Every moment we have the choice of whether to see through the eyes of forgiveness or to see the eyes of guilt.

We free ourselves from pain and suffering the more we are vigilant for what we are choosing. We free ourselves from the false identity as allow the veil of sin and guilt to be lifted from our minds. The Holy Spirit is our constant Companion and will help us when we are willing to see through the eyes of forgiveness.

This is our practice for today. We want our minds purified from the ego’s dark thoughts of fear, guilt and separation from Love. All this comes to us easily and freely when we are consistent with choosing to see through the eyes of forgiveness.

Remembering How God Knows Us

Beyond all idols is the Thought God holds of you. Completely unaffected by the turmoil and the terror of the world, the dreams of birth and death that here are dreamed, the myriad of forms that fear can take; quite undisturbed, the Thought God holds of you remains exactly as it always was. Surrounded by a stillness so complete no sound of battle comes remotely near, it rests in certainty and perfect peace. Here is your one reality kept safe, completely unaware of all the world that worships idols, and that knows not God. In perfect sureness of its changelessness and of its rest in its eternal home, the Thought God holds of you has never left the Mind of its Creator…. (A Course in Miracles, T-30.III.10)

As we perceive through the body’s eyes, there seems to be myriad forms for us to pay attention to: Things to fix and clean, to prepare for and protect against in order to function in the world. It seems that if we do not do these things that we will not be safe or happy. Yet all these activities are simply manipulating idols (forms) in a world of make believe. Meanwhile we remain exactly as God created us — complete and healed and whole, shining with Love within the Mind of God. This will never change because this is the changeless Thought within the Mind of Love.

We are learning to remember how Gods knows us — as eternally safe in the changelessness of Love. To know eternal happiness and perfect safety, we need to learn to look past the forms of the world to the Light of Love that is everywhere. To do this we need to let go of our investment in wanting the forms of the world to be real. This is what forgiveness does. As we practice stepping back from the meaning we give the world and letting the Holy Spirit in our minds show us the Truth beyond the forms of the world, we forgive the world for what we thought it was and welcome our reality as eternal Love. Today we dedicate to letting Holy Spirit help us remember how God knows us.

We Are One In the Love that Created Us

Today will be a happy day as we let the Light of our one Self shine through. This Light shines through the shadows of false images and shows us the changeless Love that is the reality in all things. The certainty of Love brings peace, for we know that we remain invulnerable in this Love. We see the Love we are reflected back to us as the Light of our Self shines forth from within.

But if we identity with being a separate self, a body with private thoughts disconnected from other bodies, fear and guilt will occupy our minds. Happiness is impossible because we have denied our unity with Love. We feel empty, alone, in need of defense to protect our little kingdom that we have set aside for ourselves alone. It is impossible to deny our true Self and not feel a sense of loss and depression.

But this need not be. The Light of our Self always remains with us. We only need to be willing to give It our full attention and we will again remember that we have everything we need, given us by our Creator. We remember that we are one in the Love that created us and remains in us and as us.

Today we practice giving our attention to the heart of Love within and seeing that It unites us with all our brothers in our Source.
