Our One Assignment

Mary:
This morning we read in A Course in Miracles, Manual for Teachers , section 27: “What is death?” (pages 66-67) What stood out to me was this:

Teacher of God, your one assignment could be stated thus: Accept no compromise in which death plays a part. Do not believe in cruelty, nor let attack conceal the truth from you. What seems to die has but been misperceived and carried to illusion. Now it becomes your task to let the illusion be carried to the truth. Be steadfast but in this; be not deceived by the “reality” of any changing form. Truth neither moves, nor wavers, nor sinks down to death and dissolution. And what is the end of death? Nothing but this; the realization that the Son of God is guiltless now and forever. (M-27.7:1-8)

Here I am being told that I have one assignment and that is to let illusion be carried to truth. This is what forgiveness is. Letting go of belief in separate bodies is my one assignment. Jesus tells us that there is only one problem and one solution. The problem is the belief in separate bodies and the solution is to forgive this belief or let it go.

I cannot do this alone. I need the clarity of Holy Spirit to show me that all illusions of separate forms are equally untrue. My part is to be willing to hand my perception of every form of separation to the Holy Spirit, where it will be undone for me. Each perception of separation is a barrier to my awareness of Love’s Presence. My job is to not keep these perceptions and make them real, but to be willing for the Holy Spirit to once again show me that only Love is real.

This is my practice for today — to forgive the world from what I ever thought it was, and let my mind be healed of belief in separation. I am thankful that the Holy Spirit is right there in my mind to help me remember to laugh at the ego’s foolish belief in separation. And I give thanks.

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Do not use time to make the world seem real and stand as a barrier against Love’s Presence. Time is a mechanism of separation made by the ego. If you feel rushed, hurried or impatient, you have decided time is real. Step back and offer this thought and feeling to the Holy Spirit. Open your heart and mind to the Holy Spirit’s peace.

Nothing that disturbs your peace is worthy of you, God’s holy Son. God’s will for you is perfect peace and He has deemed you worthy of it. Walk in peace today and you will experience Love’s Presence in each now moment.
