Replacing the Ego’s Projections with True Perception

Let me remember what my purpose is.

If I forget my goal I can be but confused, unsure of what I am, and thus conflicted in my actions. ²No one can serve contradicting goals and serve them well. ³Nor can he function without deep distress and great depression. ⁴Let us therefore be determined to remember what we want today, that we may unify our thoughts and actions meaningfully, and achieve only what God would have us do this day.

Father, forgiveness is Your chosen means for our salvation. ²Let us not forget today that we can have no will but Yours. ³And thus our purpose must be Yours as well, if we would reach the peace You will for us. (A Course in Miracles, W-257. See also ACIM Lesson 257 Insights.)

If our will is the same as God’s Will, our purpose must be to extend His gift of peace, joy and Love. As we accept our true Will, the certainty of our changeless, true Self dispels the conflict and certainty in the world.

Our practice today is to give our true Will priority. We ask the Holy Spirit to help us see the Presence of Love beyond appearances in the world. We ask His help to let go of the mistaken beliefs which cloud our vision. We accept His help by bringing all our perceptions to Him with willingness to accept His true perception in their place.

As we do this, we learn to disregard the ego’s projections and join with our brothers in the joyous giving and receiving of God’s gifts. This is our path to peace and happiness in the certainty of God’s Love.
