Following the Guide to Perfect Happiness

The ego’s plan for salvation centers around holding grievances. ²It maintains that, if someone else spoke or acted differently, if some external circumstance or event were changed, you would be saved. ³Thus, the source of salvation is constantly perceived as outside yourself. ⁴Each grievance you hold is a declaration, and an assertion in which you believe, that says, “If this were different, I would be saved.” ⁵The change of mind necessary for salvation is thus demanded of everyone and everything except yourself.

God’s plan for salvation works simply because, by following His direction, you seek for salvation where it is. ²But if you are to succeed, as God promises you will, you must be willing to seek there only.

²Ask Him very specifically:

³What would You have me do?
⁴Where would You have me go?
⁵What would You have me say, and to whom?

⁶Give Him full charge …and let Him tell you what needs to be done by you in His plan for your salvation. ⁷He will answer in proportion to your willingness to hear His Voice. ⁸Refuse not to hear. (A Course in Miracles, W-71.2;5:1-2;9:1-8. See also ACIM Lesson 71 Insights.)

The ego denies the only Source of true happiness. So it looks to external sources to find what it believes will bring happiness — the circumstances, relationships and events that will meet its demands.

God’s Will for us is perfect happiness. Thus His plan for us provides a Guide Who will direct us where to go, what to do and what to say to whom. We will experience happiness beyond anything the world has to offer when we follow His Guide in all or doing.
