Mary:
This morning in our reading, this message in A Course in Miracles carried deep meaning to me:
You have reached the end of an ancient journey, not realizing yet that it is over. You are still worn and tired, and the desert’s dust still seems to cloud your eyes and keep you sightless. Yet He Whom you welcomed has come to you, and would welcome you. He has waited long to give you this. Receive it now of Him, for He would you have you know Him. Only a little wall of dust still stands between you and your brother. Blow on it lightly and with happy laughter, and it will fall away. And walk into the garden Love has prepared for both of you. (ACIM T-18.VIII.13)
From this message I see that my job today is to continue to give welcome to the Christ Mind. As I am willing to open up to the Truth, I will recognize that the ancient journey is over and that we all continue to abide in the Christ Mind because we never left. We are just willing to become aware of it now. And in this place of happy laughter, we become aware of the joy and peace that is forever ours. Accepting this state of joy and peace is my practice today. Accepting God’s Garden of Love is what today is for.
Robert:
It’s getting more and more clear to me I need to withdraw all meaning I have given to any form in the world. No form can bring me happiness or unhappiness, peace or distress. It is only the meaning I give anything that leads me Home to where I am in truth or turns me away toward the hell of separation. Letting go of the meaning I give to anything is forgiveness. To see as my Self sees, this letting go is essential. This is what removes the barriers to Love’s presence.
I see that I have many habits that lead my thinking down divergent paths of separation. But habits can be changed. I need only be vigilant to recognize the diversion and choose again to welcome the vision of my Self. Today is another happy day of vigilance.
