Letting Love Guide Our Doing

What keeps the world in chains but your beliefs? ²And what can save the world except your Self? ³Belief is powerful indeed. ⁴The thoughts you hold are mighty, and illusions are as strong in their effects as is the truth.

Yet is salvation easily achieved, for anyone is free to change his mind, and all his thoughts change with it. ²Now the source of thought has shifted [from ego to Holy Spirit], for to change your mind means you have changed the source of all ideas you think or ever thought or yet will think. ³You free the past from what you thought before. ⁴You free the future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what you do not want to find.

The present now remains the only time. ²Here in the present is the world set free. ³For as you let the past be lifted and release the future from your ancient fears, you find escape and give it to the world.

The world is nothing in itself. ²Your mind must give it meaning. ³And what you behold upon it are your wishes, acted out so you can look on them and think them real.

There is no world apart from what you wish, and herein lies your ultimate release. ²Change but your mind on what you want to see, and all the world must change accordingly. ³Ideas leave not their source. (A Course in Miracles, W-132.1:1-4;2:1–3:3;4:1-3;5:1-3. See also ACIM Lesson 132 Insights.)

Belief can change our perception of what is real, but it cannot change what Reality is. The wish for specialness is the foundation of our belief in differences, change, gain and loss.

But only changeless, eternal Love is real. Without the possibility of change, Love is our Source of safety and peace. When we identify with our true Self, the home of the Holy Spirit, we are free to join in the joyous extension of the Love given us by our Creator. Today we choose Love to be our Guide in all our doing, and we will see Love reflected in our world.
