Our Indestructible Path to God’s Peace

Salvation is a promise, made by God, that you would find your way to Him at last. It cannot but be kept. It guarantees that time will have an end, and all the thoughts that have been born in time will end as well. God’s Word [Holy Spirit] is given every mind which thinks that it has separate thoughts, and will replace these thoughts of conflict with the Thought of peace.

The Thought of peace was given to God’s Son the instant that his mind had thought of war [conflict]. There was no need for such a Thought before, for peace was given without opposite, and merely was. But when the mind is split there is a need of healing. So the Thought that has the power to heal the split became a part of every fragment of the mind that still was one, but failed to recognize its oneness. Now it did not know itself, and thought its own Identity was lost.

Salvation is undoing in the sense that it does nothing, failing to support the world of dreams and malice. Thus it lets illusions go. By not supporting them, it merely lets them quietly go down to dust. And what [illusions] hid is now revealed; an altar to the holy Name of God whereon His Word is written, with the gifts of your forgiveness laid before it, and the memory of God not far behind.

Let us come daily to this holy place, and spend a while together. Here we share our final dream [of complete forgiveness]. It is a dream in which there is no sorrow, for it holds a hint of all the glory given us by God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook What Is Salvation?, W-pII.2.1:1-4:3)

The Holy Spirit is the Thought of peace in our mind. It was placed in our mind by God to ensure we could never lose our connection with our Source. We can deafen ourselves to His Word, we can blind ourselves to the Light of His Love, but we cannot obliterate it from our mind. God’s saving grace provides an indestructible path of return to our Home.

We are eternally safe in the Mind of Love, where conflict is impossible and peace is our constant state. In a world which seems chaotic and a constant threat to our existence, the Holy Spirit is ever present, ready to lead us to safety. He is the means for our salvation. We need only be willing to listen to His Voice and follow His guidance.

This is our practice today. It will be a happy and peaceful day as we rest in God.
