Let Love Guide Us Back to Love

There is nothing outside you. That is what you must ultimately learn, for it is the realization that the Kingdom of Heaven is restored to you. For God created only this, and He did not depart from it nor leave it separate from Himself. The Kingdom of Heaven is the dwelling place of the Son of God, who left not his Father and dwells not apart from Him. Heaven is not a place nor a condition. It is merely an awareness of perfect Oneness, and the knowledge that there is nothing else; nothing outside this Oneness, and nothing else within.

Minds are joined; bodies are not. Only by assigning to the mind the properties of the body does separation seem to be possible. And it is mind that seems to be fragmented and private and alone. Its guilt, which keeps it separate, is projected to the body, which suffers and dies because it is attacked to hold the separation in the mind, and let it not know its Identity.

The mind cannot attack, but it can deceive itself. And this is all it does when it believes it has attacked the body. It can project its guilt, but it will not lose it through projection. And though it clearly can misperceive the function of the body, it cannot change its function from what the Holy Spirit establishes it to be. The body was not made by love. Yet love does not condemn it and can use it lovingly, respecting what the Son of God has made and using it to save him from illusions. (A Course in Miracles, T-18.VI.1;3:1-4;4:3-8. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The Holy Spirit is the part of our mind that remembers our unbreakable unity in the Mind of God. When we choose the Holy Spirit as our Guide throughout the day, we are letting Love direct all the functions of the body. Under His direction, the body is used for the holy purpose of remembering we are in Heaven now and always.

Today let us practice pausing to let Love be our Guide. This is how we let the Holy Spirit’s perception replace the ego’s perception. This practice heals our mind of self-deception and restores it to its natural state as one with the Mind of God. It restores our awareness that we are eternally in Heaven (the Mind of God).
