You who have not yet brought all of the darkness you have taught yourself into the light in you, can hardly judge the truth and value of this course. Yet God did not abandon you. And so you have another lesson sent from Him, already learned for every child of light by Him to Whom God gave it. This lesson shines with God’s glory, for in it lies His power, which He shares so gladly with His Son. Learn of His happiness, which is yours. But to accomplish this, all your dark lessons must be brought willingly to truth, and joyously laid down by hands open to receive, not closed to take. Every dark lesson that you bring to Him Who teaches light He will accept from you, because you do not want it. And He will gladly exchange each one for the bright lesson He has learned for you. Never believe that any lesson you have learned apart from Him means anything. (A Course in Miracles, T-14.XI.4. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)
We want to learn of the happiness of our true nature. We want to return to our true Identity as God’s one Son. Here it is very clear that the way to do this is to take everything we have learned from the past — all our assumptions of what we think is true — to the Holy Spirit, Who will lead us through a complete thought reversal.
As we go through our day, there can be a tendency to forget that our assumptions are not true. We forget we are merely dreaming a dream of separation. We forget that we are still one with the Mind of God, where our true happiness abides.
The way to go past this tendency to forget the truth is to step back frequently from our busy doing, and welcome the Light of truth… As we welcome the Light of truth, our minds are filled with peace and a sense of well being… We feel safe and nurtured by the Light of our true Nature…
As we do this consistently, our happiness increases… We develop a pattern of accepting happiness… We feel Holy Spirit’s inspiration… We can feel that we are being carried… We recognize our judgements and hand them over quickly for Holy Spirit’s thought reversal… We receive and extend Love more frequently… We feel all the help our inner Teacher has been giving us… We feel the joy that comes as we accept Holy Spirit’s help… We are in great gratitude… We are so thankful that we have such constant Help from the Holy Spirit… We are so grateful that we have the willingness to accept this Help… This is how we learn of the Son of God’s happiness.
