Seeing Beyond Appearances

Mary: There is a sentence in A Course in Miracles that really means a lot to me:  “In quiet is every problem quietly resolved.” We recently completed a big project and I feel that allowing time for quietness would be very helpful right now. The Holy Spirit knows what would be most healing for my mind. My job is to be quiet and give the Holy Spirit the time. The Holy Spirit will do the rest. I can relax now.

The Holy Spirit reminds me that nothing has changed God’s One Son. There is only one, united Love that we all are. I am encouraged to see that united Love everywhere because it is everywhere. If I see something else, I am reminded that I am seeing through the ego’s eyes and it is not really there. I am reminded that I do not have to defend against what is not really there. Everything is still safe, still as God created It. My job is to relax and allow the truth to return to my quiet, open mind.

Holy Spirit to Robert: The world you see is a world of change. It was made in opposition to the changelessness of Love. As long as you perceive the world, the appearance of change is inevitable. How you interpret this change is determined by what you choose as your interpreter. The ego will always interpret change as threat, raising its defenses to protect the illusions it has made. You will know when you have chosen the ego as your interpreter by the disturbance to your peace that comes with its interpretation.

When you choose the Holy Spirit as your interpreter, you will not be disturbed. The Holy Spirit knows that an appearance can have no effect on you, the holy Son of God. The Holy Spirit will show you how to look past the ego’s interpretation to the changelessness of Love. the Holy Spirit will guide you how to respond in the world of appearances in a way that reflects the changelessness of Love and is truly helpful. With the Holy Spirit as your guide in all interpretations, you will stay centered in the peaceful presence of your Self. Let today be guided by the Holy Spirit.
