Following the Guide to Safety

Where darkness was I look upon the light.

Father, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits us, as our sight is finally restored and we can see. We thought we suffered. But we had forgot the Son whom You created. Now we see that dark­ness is our own imagining, and light is there for us to look upon. Christ’s vision changes darkness into light, for fear must disappear when love has come. Let me forgive Your holy world today, that I may look upon its holiness and understand it but reflects my own.

Our Love awaits us as we go to Him, and walks beside us showing us the way. He fails in nothing. He the End we seek, and He the Means by which we go to Him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 302, W-pII.302. See also ACIM Lesson 302 Insights.)

The world our body’s eyes show us is a lie. It is an image reflecting our belief in separation, which denies the reality of Love.

So how do we respond to the appearances of sickness and death in the world? We do not deny that we perceive these fearful images. Instead we turn them over to the Holy Spirit, asking Him to help us forgive the thoughts that trigger our fear. He will help us release our misperceptions and show us the Light of Love in which we live and have our being. These transforming perceptions bring us peace of mind and certainty of our safety. Our true Self cannot be harmed, cannot die.

Today we practice quieting our mind and focusing on the center of peace within. Letting this peace grow stronger in our awareness opens our mind to the Holy Spirit’s guidance for what to do, where to go, what to say and to whom. We choose Him as our Guide moment by moment and let Him lead us to our true, eternal Self, united in the oneness of God’s Love.
