Teachers of Innocence

Teachers of innocence, each in his own way, have joined together, taking their part in the unified curriculum of the Atonement.… Join your own efforts to the power that cannot fail and must result in peace. No one can be untouched by teaching such as this.… From everyone whom you accord release from guilt you will inevitably learn your innocence. The circle of Atonement has no end. And you will find ever-increasing confidence in your safe inclusion in the circle with everyone you bring within its safety and its perfect peace. (A Course in Miracles T-14.V.6:1,7:1-2,5-7)

Our practice for today is to step back and open to Holy Spirit’s river of peace… As we continue to accept Holy Spirit’s peace, we see only innocence… The clouds that hide the truth are dissipated through accepting peace, and we are able to see past the clouds to the innate, eternal innocence that is always there.

This practice of stepping back and opening to Holy Spirit’s peace is worth the effort. As we accept peace we become teachers of peace… teachers of seeing only innocence. With this practice heal and are healed.

Let Me Remember…

This is our prayer for today:
Peace to my mind… Let all my thoughts be still… In truth I am blessed as a Son of God… Let me remember that I am still Love in the Mind of Love… Let me remember that every brother is joined with me in the one Mind of Love… Let me see my brother as the Love he is… Let me rest in the truth today… Amen.

Make Way for Love

Because the ego believes that form is meaning, it always advises to do something, anything in the world. Doing “stuff” is how the ego tries to make meaning. Yet the Course is telling us that meaning comes from content, not form. And the only real content is Love. We experience meaning when we extend Love and join in the oneness of Love. Following the ego’s guidance to meaning leaves only emptiness because form is not content and is not real.

So when we take time to quiet our minds and be open to Love’s vision, the ego tells us that we are wasting our time. It brings up all kinds of excuses not to go to quiet or to peace. It is these defenses against Love that we need to let go and move past. As we move past the forms, we open the door to the experience of Love’s presence, the experience of joining with the one Self we all share. It is time to set aside excuses and make way for Love.

I Put Holy Spirit in Charge of My Thoughts Today

Let us today be children of the truth, and not deny our holy heritage. Our life is not as we imagine it. Who changes life because he shuts his eyes, or makes himself what he is not because he sleeps, and sees in dreams an opposite to what he is? We will not ask for death [separation] in any form today. Nor will we let imagined opposites to life abide even an instant where the Thought of life eternal has been set by God Himself.

His holy home we strive to keep today as He established it, and wills it be forever and forever. He is Lord of what we think today.” (A Course in Miracles W-pI.167.10,11:1-2)

Today my practice is to let go of the stories of separation. My practice is to let the Holy Spirit be in charge of what I think today. There is only one life, one mind. We are not separate people with separate minds. In order to put Holy Spirit in charge, I must let go of thinking that there could ever be something other than the one Mind of Love. Here there is peace. And for this I give thanks.

The world is a projection. If I believe in the idea of separation, I will see it reflected back to me everywhere. Loss and lack will seem real. Fear and guilt will seem justified. I am grateful that there is another option. I can align with the truth by choosing Holy Spirit to guide my thoughts. As I make this choice more and more consistently, I will see God’s Love reflected back to me more and more. Images of separation will fade into the Light of His Love until that Light is all there is to see. This is my practice for today.

God’s Eternal Judgement

Holy are you, eternal, free and whole, at peace forever in the Heart of God. Where is the world, and where is sorrow now?…

Have you yet learned to stand aside and hear the Voice of Judgment in yourself? Or do you still attempt to take His role from Him? Learn to be quiet, for His Voice is heard in stillness. And His Judgment comes to all who stand aside in quiet listening, and wait for Him. (A Course in Miracles M-15.1:11-12,2:10-13)

Despite all the fear and guilt we experience in the world, God never changes His mind about us. His judgment of us is an eternal blessing that holds us dear to His Heart and blesses us with the proclamation of our innocence.

What a relief to be reminded of this. We can set aside the dark cloak of fear and guilt and let the Light of Love that we were created to be shine forth and join with all our brothers in the Heart of God. This is where we have always been. We need only be quiet and let God’s Voice remind us that we are at peace forever in His Heart.

Accepting the One Self

We state again the truth about your Self, the holy Son of God Who rests in you; whose mind has been restored to sanity. You are the spirit lovingly endowed with all your Father’s Love and peace and joy. You are the spirit which completes Himself, and shares His function as Creator. He is with you always, as you are with Him. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.97.2)

Remembering the truth that we are all the same Spirit of Love is the most wonderful gift that we could give and receive this holiday season. My practice for today is to focus on being willing to remember that every part of the Sonship is the same Spirit, the same Self, that completes God. To do this, it is helpful to frequently ask myself, “Am I willing to remember oneness right now?” It is only my willingness in each present moment that will free me to accept everyone as the one Spirit they truly are.

This quote from ACIM is very comforting to me. It reminds me that as I shift my allegiance from the body and the world of separation to the oneness of Spirit, the one Self I share with all in God, I will experience the Love and peace and joy that is God’s gift to all. I feel the blessing of God’s Love and in gratitude, extend it to all. I receive the gift by giving it. I accept that I am Love’s extension by extending Love. I experience the reality that giving and receiving are the same.

Allow Time to Rest in God

As we go to a place of inner quiet, we are reminded: Allow time to turn inward and receive the perspective of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is always there in your mind waiting to free you from the limitations and fearful thoughts of the ego thought system. And because you want freedom instead of pain, you willingly give time to the Holy Spirit to be taught a better way.

Your inner Teacher knows the best way to transform your mind. As you willingly give time to rest in Holy Spirit’s perspective, what you thought before disappears. The healing Light of truth shines away the ego’s dark thoughts of fear and guilt. Peace replaces thoughts of conflict. You are brought to a state of mind where you are able to see past the ego’s thoughts of separation to the one Christ Mind that is always there.

As we receive this mind healing message, we see that allowing time to rest in God is our focus for today.
