³You are afraid to know God’s Will, because you believe it is not yours. ⁴This belief is your whole sickness and your whole fear. ⁵Every symptom of sickness and fear arises here, because this is the belief that makes you want not to know. ⁶Believing this you hide in darkness, denying that the light is in you.
You are asked to trust the Holy Spirit only because He speaks for you. ²He is the Voice for God, but never forget that God did not will to be alone. ³He shares His Will with you; He does not thrust it upon you. ⁴Always remember that what He gives He keeps, so that nothing He gives can contradict Him. ⁵You who share His life must share it to know it, for sharing is knowing. ⁶Blessed are you who learn that to hear the Will of your Father is to know your own. ⁷For it is your will to be like Him, Whose Will it is that it be so. ⁸God’s Will is that His Son be one, and united with Him in His Oneness. ⁹That is why healing is the beginning of the recognition that your will is His. (A Course in Miracles, T-11.I.10:3–11:9. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)
The Holy Spirit is our best Friend because He represents both our true Self and our Creator. We can depend on Him to advise us on everything that is in our best interest. We can count on Him to help us awaken to the Love we are. He will show us the Love that surrounds us and unites us with the truth in every brother in the Love of God.
We are afraid of the Holy Spirit’s advice because we think He does not represent our Self. This is because we have identified with a false self, the ego, who opposes our true Self in every way. Its opposition is so complete that it does not even know of our true Self. The ego is the demand for autonomy. It tries to usurp our true Self by making a dream of fear, guilt and loss.
But we are not imprisoned by the ego. We have the key to set us free in the Holy Spirit Who remains with us no matter what dreams we make. Today we choose to remember our best Friend and follow Him in the way of Love. Thus we will awaken to the oneness that we share with God and every brother.
