Let Go and Let God

Think not you understand anything until you pass the test of perfect peace, for peace and understanding go together and never can be found alone. (A Course in Miracles, T-14.12:4)

The practice of allowing our minds to quiet and open up to the healing Presence of God’s holy Light brings with it a healing river of peace that flows through our minds, cleansing our minds of the false ideas we are clinging to. This is the practice of letting go and letting God do His healing work.

When we get caught up in believing in the stories found in this world of separate bodies, we need to let go and let God to find the happiness we seek. We are still one with God, which means we are still one with all true eternal happiness, peace and unlimited joy.

When we believe in the world’s false stories, we forget our Source. We forget our true Identity. The pain of this forgetting reminds us to choose once again and return back to the healing waters of God’s peace. Letting go and letting God be in charge of minds is our practice for today.

We Live in God

We count on God, and not upon ourselves, to give us certainty. And in His Name we practice as His Word directs we do. His sureness lies beyond our every doubt. His Love remains beyond our every fear. The Thought of Him is still beyond all dreams and in our minds, according to His Will. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.165.8)

Today our practice is to remember where our real Life is. The truth is we live in God. We let ourselves remember this today. We let the peace, the sense of certainty and awareness of our well being permeate our minds today. We remain forever safe in God, along with all our brothers.

If fear thoughts come up, we let them pass by knowing that we live in God. And for this we give thanks.

Our Life Practice

Ask Him very specifically:

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

Give Him full charge of the rest of the practice period (the rest of your life), and let Him tell you what needs to be done by you in His plan for your salvation. He will answer in proportion to your willingness to hear His Voice. Refuse not to hear. (W-pI.71.9:2-8)

Our practice is to give our inner Guide full charge of the rest of our life. We know that this is what time is for. We know that this is what will bring us the happiness and peace we desire. We know that His plan for our release from pain and suffering will work.

As we begin this new year, we intensify our willingness to accept His plan, which will bring us lasting happiness. As we let our inner Teacher guide us in all our thinking and doing, we experience more and more the joy that is God’s gift to us.

Accepting the Atonement

Bringing the ego to God is but to bring error to truth, where it stands corrected because it is the opposite of what it meets. It is undone because the contradiction can no longer stand.

The Atonement is so gentle you need but whisper to it, and all its power will rush to your assistance and support. You are not frail with God beside you. Yet without Him you are nothing. The Atonement offers you God. (A Course in Miracles, T-14.IX.2:1-2;3:2-5)

The ego is terrified by the Atonement because it perceives the Atonement as its death knell. Yet the Atonement is very gentle, simply correcting the error that seems to stand between us and God.

It helps to remember that there is very little we need to do to accept the Atonement. Just a whisper of willingness opens the door for the strength of God to support us in awakening to the truth that undoes all error. We need then only trust in the strength of God instead of our seeming frailty.

God’s strength is already ours. Our little willingness lessens our denial of God’s strength so then we can rely on His strength to heal our minds of the belief in littleness and isolation. With the strength of God beside us, we can bring all our thoughts of fear and guilt to the Holy Spirit in our minds to receive His gentle correction. With this moment by moment practice we accept the Atonement for ourselves and remember Heaven.

Let Peace Be

The peace of our true Self extends eternally to the Eternal. Peace is the nature of our true Self, constant and undisturbable. It joins us with all that is real. It joins us with God.

Anything that appears to disturb our peace comes from a false image of what we are. When we believe in this false image, the eternal peace of our true Self is unknown to us, hidden beneath the uncertainty and vulnerability of the false image. Yet peace remains eternally present and is revealed when we let go of the false image.

We have within us the Help we need to learn to recognize falsity for what it is. We need only take each perception of disturbance to the Holy Spirit in our minds with willingness to receive His gentle Correction. As we accept this Correction, we free ourselves from the self-imposed limitation that made us unaware of the eternal peace we are. As we practice this, we let peace be.

Peace First

Learn to be quiet in the midst of turmoil, for quietness is the end of strife and this is the journey to peace. Look straight at every image that rises to delay you, for the goal is inevitable because it is eternal. The goal of love is but your right, and it belongs to you despite your dreams. (A Course in Miracles, T-12.II.5:5-7)

The ego is in constant turmoil. Being an illusion, the ego is wholly uncertain. All our thoughts that are aligned with the ego thought system bring uncertainty with them, no matter how much we try to inflate them with seeming
importance and validity.

When we choose peace, we are choosing the path to certainty because we are choosing the path to our true Self. Nothing is more certain than God and His Creation. Though the dream is filled with uncertainty, the path to certainty is always available. Just choose peace.

Our practice today is to be mindful of our state of peace and to choose peace whenever a sense of uncertainty, of turmoil, seems to be in our minds. As we accept peace, we accept the certainty of God’s Love.

Today We Quiet Our Minds and Practice Following Holy Spirit

No matter what — we practice relaxing and letting Holy Spirit be in charge… The Holy Spirit is in our mind in every now moment. Our opportunity today is to let ourselves be carried by the Holy Spirit in each now moment… Letting ourselves be carried means we do not try to do anything on our own. We are following; we are not leading. We are listening in a place of quiet to receive our guidance in the present moment…

We practice today letting ourselves be carried. We let go of the past and the future, and pay attention to how we are being guided right now.
