Accepting Holy Spirit’s Kind and Gentle Help

Mary:
This morning as I go into a place of quiet, I am reminded that the Holy Spirit is always there in my mind, waiting to heal my perception. It is encouraging to remember that Help is always there if I feel frustrated or impatient with any situation. Help is always there if I am not feeling at peace.

To access this Help, it takes my willingness to step back and relax… It takes my willingness give the time to allow His peace to fill my mind… It takes my willingness to let go of what I think I know… to let go and let God. This is my practice for today — to accept Holy Spirit’s help all through the day.

Robert:
Today my practice is to let every situation be used on behalf of awakening. To do this it is important that I be vigilant for peace that my mind may be open to Holy Spirit’s kind and gentle lessons. This is how I will loose the world from all I thought it was.

Let Love Extend Through Me

Robert:
There is really only one thing for me to do today: Let Love extend through me. The forms this may take in the dream may appear to be many. It may look like forgiving software that does not do what I want it to do. It may look like letting go of an opinion that a situation is not to my liking. It may look like releasing a judgment about someone’s words, behavior or appearance. In truth these are all the same, for they all remove the barrier that interferes with Love’s extension.

Today I ask Love’s guidance to help me see past appearances and let Love freely extend through me. This is how I will remember Who I am.

Mary:
Today is a day to remember that the whole Sonship remains in Heaven where It was created. The whole Sonship is eternal Love because It has not separated from Its Source. Today is a day to remember that this is true and nothing else is true.

The separate bodies, the separate lives, the separate times and places — all these are but wandering in dreams while safe at Home. This is what I choose to remember today. In A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 131 I am reminded, “Today I seek and find all that I want. My single purpose offers it to me. No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth.” (W-pI.131.15:5-7) I can remember that everyone has never left Heaven. Everyone is still as God created them. It is this I choose to remember today.

Let Go and Let God

Mary:
This morning after our reading and quiet listening, what came to me was, “Let go and let God.” This reminds me to relax and follow in each present moment. This reminds me to keep my mind open to Holy Spirit’s inspiration all through the day. This reminds me to step back consistently and ask to see as Holy Spirit sees.

Holy Spirit’s world of Love is there as I am willing to receive. From this inner place I am more easily able to see the Christ instead of bodies separate from me. I give thanks that this is available whenever I am willing.

Robert:
This is my prayer today: Let all my doing serve awakening. Guide my seeing that I may see with the eyes of Love. Guide my doing that I may extend Love and be truly helpful. Help me look beyond all form to the real meaning and true value in everything.

Remembering and Accepting Peace

Robert:
Judgment always brings conflict with it. Forgiveness always brings peace with it. If I want to be at peace, I need to be willing to let go of all my judgments and opinions that I have carried with me from the past. As I am willing to give all my judgments and opinions to the Holy Spirit and let them go, I leave an open space into which the vision of Christ can flow. This is my practice for today.

Mary:
A helpful way to practice handing over all my opinions based on the past is to remember the sentence, “I could choose peace instead of this.” Saying this frequently to myself all throughout the day opens the door to accepting the peace of the Holy Spirit, which is always there for me. Accepting the peace of my true Self changes my experience in the present moment. It helps me see with Holy Spirit’s vision. This is my practice for today.

Let Peace Lead the Way

Mary:
This is my focus for today: Holy Spirit, today I open to Your peace… Receiving Your peace and extending Your peace is what today is for… I willingly follow where peace leads with no agenda of my own… Today I dedicate to peace.

Robert:
My true Self remains as God created It. This will never change because my Self shares God’s changelessness. The peace of this Self can never be disturbed. It remains at the center of my Being, no matter what illusions I may hold that interfere with my awareness of It.

The way to remember this Self is to rise above the seeming conflicts and “reality” of the world. I let myself return to peace. From this place of peace it is clear what is true and what is false, what is meaningful or meaningless. I will step back and let peace lead the way today.

Remembering Love

Mary:
This is my prayer for today: Let my mind quiet, Father, that I may remember You. The quiet joy of Heaven is Your gift to me. As I am willing to receive Your gift, I see the Light of Heaven in everyone. I willingly forget everyone’s past and open to the eternal Present, which shows me that only Your Light is what is true. I willingly move past time to become aware again of Your eternal Presence.

Robert:
My practice today is to step back and let Holy Spirit lead the way, let my true Self lead the way. This is another way of saying that I want Love to be my Guide. This is how I see the truth in my brother and my Self. This is how I let go of the past, for Love never judges. This is how I will experience the joy of the eternal Present.

Acknowledging Our One Self

Mary:
In our reading in the Workbook of A Course in Miracles this morning, this paragraph stood out:

You are as God created you. Today honor your Self. Let graven images you made to be the Son of God instead of what he is be worshipped not today. Deep in your mind the holy Christ in you is waiting your acknowledge as you. And you are lost and do not know yourself while He is unacknowledged and unknown. (W-pI.110.9)

Today my practice is to give acknowledgment to the one Self we all share. This means that I have to let go of the self-image I have made. Today is devoted to vigilance to acknowledging our one Self. This is all I want; this is all I need.

Robert:
I have observed that I am much happier when I am not judging. Having an opinion is a downer. It makes my “happiness” dependent upon situations, things and people being the way my opinion says they should be. Opinions declare that I am unwilling to accept God’s gift of eternal joy and would rather have some image that I make up to my liking.

So ultimately every opinion is a judgment against God. Why would I do that? Only if I believe that it is possible that I could have more than everything. That is the core of the ego thought system. I can go on seeking for brief moments of seeming happiness when my opinion is that I like the circumstance or I can let go of a crazy idea that I could have more than all of God. Since Love (God) is all there is, only this eternal Love given me and everyone wholly and completely will ever satisfy. This Love is changeless. It does not come and go. Being ever present, it is there, waiting only upon my acknowledgment.

Today I practice acknowledging the Love, the Christ, the one Self that I am along with everyone. And I will have a happy day.
