Siding with Truth and Letting Illusions Go

We have a mighty purpose to fulfill, and have been given everything we need with which to reach the goal. Not one mistake stands in our way. For we have been absolved from errors. All our sins are washed away by realizing they were but mistakes.

The guiltless have no fear, for they are safe and recognize their safety. They do not appeal to magic, nor invent escapes from fancied threats without reality. They rest in quiet certainty that they will do what it is given them to do. They do not doubt their own ability because they know their function will be filled completely in the perfect time and place. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.98.2:3-3:4)

Every time we try to make plans on our own, we are trying to invent an escape from a fancied threat. The threat seems real only because we believe the fantasy of an external world of form is real. The world will always appear threatening as long as we believe we are in a body, separate from our brothers and our Source. But we have been given everything we need to help us let go of that mistaken belief — it is the gift of the Holy Spirit in our minds.

As we are willing to let the Holy Spirit be our Guide and Interpreter of everything we see or experience in the world, we will be shown the path that leads out of a threatening world and into the certainty of the peace of our Home in God. Our willingness may be inconsistent, but every time we are willing, we experience the confirmation of our safety and our trust is strengthened. We move forward with steadier steps toward the perfect happiness that is God’s gift to His beloved Son, our one Self.
