Putting Holy Spirit in Charge of Our Life

⁴The very fact that the Will of God, which is what you are, is perceived as fearful, demonstrates that you are afraid of what you are. ⁵It is not, then, the Will of God of which you are afraid, but yours.

Your will is not the ego’s, and that is why the ego is against you. ²What seems to be the fear of God is really the fear of your own reality.

⁵You have set up this strange situation so that it is impossible to escape from it without a Guide Who does know what your reality is. ⁶The purpose of this Guide is merely to remind you of what you want.

²When I said that the Holy Spirit’s function is to sort out the true from the false in your mind, I meant that He has the power to look into what you have hidden and recognize the Will of God there. ³His recognition of this Will can make it real to you because He is in your mind, and therefore He is your reality.

⁷Reality is the only safety. ⁸Your will is your salvation because it is the same as God’s. ⁹The separation is nothing more than the belief that it is different. (A Course in Miracles, T-9.I.1:4–2:2;3:5-6;4:2-3;7:7-9. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The Holy Spirit is literally our lifeline. He is our eternal connection with the Source of all Life. There is no Life except the Life we live in God.

What we think of as life is a dream which we populate with myriad figures and images over which we seem to have no control. Yet these appearances are projections from our split mind. They represent what we believe we are. But belief does not make reality; it makes a substitute for reality which stands as a barrier to awareness of the Reality we live in God.

Our belief makes the dream seem out of our control. But we can change our belief with the help of the Holy Spirit. When our belief changes, the dream changes. As we accept the Holy Spirit’s guidance our dream progresses from fearful toward happy and loving. When we have fully accepted the Love that God Wills for us, we stand at the gate of Heaven, where God welcomes us Home. We accelerate this journey by vigilantly paying attention to His guidance.
