Refuse to Give the Insanity of Separation a Home

Robert:  The ego loves to classify and categorize and label everything. This is how it maintains the illusion of differences and separation. The Course tells us that sickness is a form of specialness. We can distinguish ourselves from others by appearing to be sick. It does not matter whether the sickness is classified as mental or physical, it is still a badge of distinction that supports belief in separation. As long a we believe in separation, our thoughts will be disordered. For the ego’s world is a world of insanity.

As long as I look upon my brother as different from me, though I appear to be more calm and peaceful, I cannot claim to be sane while calling my brother insane. The very distinction signifies my belief in differences and separation.

My job in every moment is to not believe the thoughts that come through my mind, but offer each one to the Holy Spirit and trust His interpretation of every thought. His classification of every thought is very simple. It is either real or unreal, Love or a call for love. The practice of offering every thought to the Holy Spirit for His interpretation and use is a means for waking up and remembering my Home in the oneness of God’s Love. In that remembrance, with Holy Spirit’s help, I see every brother as one with me. We are one and the same Self.

Today I dedicate to the practice of following the Holy Spirit’s lead in all my thoughts and actions. I am willing to follow. Amen

Holy Spirit through Mary:  Behind every form that you see in this world of separate forms, behind every image of separation, there is Love. Behind every false idea of separate, individual identities, there is only Love. With all the insane thoughts of separation that come through your mind today, instead of believing them, practice handing them over to the Holy Spirit, where they will be undone. Allow the Holy Spirit to show you the difference between the real and the unreal.

Refuse to give insanity a home in your mind today. Continuing to believe in the insanity just brings more insanity. Let today be a practice in allowing the truth to enter your mind. Do you want to be right or happy? Allow time to be used for the purpose of letting go of the dream of separation. Let today be a practice in returning to the truth that there is only Love. Love is. God is. There is nothing else. This alone is sanity.
