Practicing the Presence

In time, with practice, you will never cease to think of Him, and hear His loving Voice guiding your footsteps into quiet ways, where you will walk in true defenselessness. For you will know that Heaven goes with you.

We will remind ourselves that He remains beside us through the day, and never leaves our weakness unsupported by His strength. We call upon His strength each time we feel the threat of our defenses undermine our certainty of purpose. We will pause a moment, as He tells us, “I am here.” (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 153, W-pI.153.18:1-2;19:4-6. See also ACIM Lesson 153 Insights.)

In this world it seems that we are alone and have to fend for ourselves to survive. We are learning from the Course that this is a false idea. The truth is we are eternally in God’s Presence. We have taught ourselves to believe that a lie is true. So we feel that we are alone and vulnerable when in fact, we are safely held in the Love of God.

Now it is time to let go of the lesson that attempted to turn truth upside down. We do this with the hourly and moment by moment practice of giving our attention to the Holy Spirit in our mind. We offer each disturbing thought or perception to the Holy Spirit for His loving correction. As we welcome the Light of truth, the dark shadows of false ideas fade away and we remember that we remain eternally in Love’s Presence.

We take time frequently though the day to give thanks for the previous hour when we let false ideas be undone by Love’s Presence in our minds. And we dedicate the coming hour to the practice of bringing every disturbing thought to Love’s Presence for healing. This is how we take the path that returns us to our Home in Heaven.

Returning to Eternal Spirit

This world will bind your feet and tie your hands and kill your body only if you think that it was made to crucify God’s Son. For even though it was a dream of death, you need not let it stand for this to you. Let this be changed, and nothing in the world but must be changed as well. For nothing here but is defined as what you see it for.

How lovely is the world whose purpose is forgiveness of God’s Son! How free from fear, how filled with blessing and with happiness! And what a joyous thing it is to dwell a little while in such a happy place! Nor can it be forgot, in such a world, it is a little while till timelessness comes quietly to take the place of time. (A Course in Miracles, T-29.VI.5-6. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

The truth is we are the eternal Spirit of Love. As we are willing to return to the truth that God’s Son is one and has never changed, we find freedom. Guilt dissolves and fear disappears. False beliefs in separation are replaced as we become aware that only Love is here. We find true and lasting happiness as we let timelessness quietly take the place of time. O what a blessing it is to let go of our belief in separation, which never really happened. As the wish to be separate fades, we return to the joy of eternal Spirit.

Let Me Be Still and Hear the Truth Today

The memory of God is shimmering across the wide horizons of our minds.

…we need only call to God, and all temptations disappear. Instead of words, we need but feel His Love. Instead of prayers, we need but call His Name. Instead of judging, we need but be still and let all things be healed. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Part II Introduction, W-pII.Int.9:5;10:2-5. See also ACIM Lesson 221 Insights.)

Let me be still and hear the truth today… In stillness I see only Love… In stillness I see only innocence and harmlessness, for there is no harm in Love… I am at peace because I feel the peace of God’s Love… Today I welcome the stillness of God’s peace within.

Accepting the Gifts Forgiveness Offers

Forgive and be forgiven. As you give you will receive. There is no plan but this for the salvation of the Son of God. Let us today rejoice that this is so, for here we have an answer, clear and plain, beyond deceit in its simplicity. All the complexities the world has spun of fragile cobwebs disappear before the power and the majesty of this extremely simple statement of the truth.

Before the light you will receive today the world will fade until it disappears, and you will see another world arise you have no words to picture. Now we walk directly into light, and we receive the gifts that have been held in store for us since time began, kept waiting for today. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 122, W-pI.122.6:3-7;12:1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 122 Insights.)

Today we practice letting go of the way we have perceived the world in the past. We have looked through the body’s eyes and seen separation everywhere. Now we are willing to receive a complete thought reversal. We are willing to see past images of separation to the light and Love true forgiveness brings us. We are able to see with Christ’s vision instead of through the ego’s eyes. Here we find happiness. Here we find peace. We are willing to receive all that forgiveness offers us today.

A Day of Living in Love

Be in my mind, my Father, when I wake, and shine on me throughout the day today. Let every minute be a time in which I dwell with You. And let me not forget my hourly thanksgiving that You have remained with me, and always will be there to hear my call to You and answer me. As evening comes, let all my thoughts be still of You and of Your Love. And let me sleep sure of my safety, certain of Your care, and happily aware I am Your Son. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 232, W-pII.232.1. See also ACIM Lesson 232 Insights.)

If all our thoughts are of God, all our thoughts are of Love. Thoughts of Love are always joyous and peaceful. How blessed our day would be if all our thoughts were of Love. Our day would be spent giving Love and receiving as we give. We would feel perfectly safe, for there is no harm in Love. We would see no guilt, for Love does not condemn. We would, in fact, experience Heaven. This is our practice for today.

God’s Love Supports Us

We walk to God. Pause and reflect on this. Could any way be holier, or more deserving of your effort, of your love and of your full intent?

Your feet are safely set upon the road that leads the world to God. Look not to ways that seem to lead you elsewhere. Dreams are not a worthy guide for you who are God’s Son. Forget not He has placed His Hand in yours, and given you your brothers in His trust that you are worthy of His trust in you. He cannot be deceived. His trust has made your pathway certain and your goal secure. You will not fail your brothers nor your Self. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 155, W-pI.155.12:1-3;13:1-7. See also ACIM Lesson 155 Insights.)

We are never alone. Being extensions of God’s Love, we are eternally connected to our Source. Love walks with us wherever we go. As we turn our attention away from dreams of isolation to the Love that is our Source, we are guided on the path that leads us back to full awareness that we are safe in the arms of Love. Though we may dream of vulnerability and loss, our safety in God remains unchanged in truth.

Today we choose the truth of our eternal connection with God’s Love. It is our strength, our comfort and our joy. We choose to step back and let Love lead the way.
