Staying Focused on Our True Purpose

¹¹Holy are you, eternal, free and whole, at peace forever in the Heart of God. ¹²Where is the world, and where is sorrow now?

Is this your judgment on yourself, teacher of God? ²Do you believe that this is wholly true? ³No; not yet, not yet. ⁴But this is still your goal; why you are here. ⁵It is your function to prepare yourself to hear this Judgment and to recognize that it is true. ⁶One instant of complete belief in this, and you will go beyond belief to Certainty. ⁷One instant out of time can bring time’s end. ⁸Judge not, for you but judge yourself, and thus delay this Final Judgment. ⁹What is your judgment of the world, teacher of God? ¹⁰Have you yet learned to stand aside and hear the Voice of Judgment in yourself? ¹¹Or do you still attempt to take His role from Him? ¹²Learn to be quiet, for His Voice is heard in stillness. ¹³And His Judgment comes to all who stand aside in quiet listening, and wait for Him.

⁶There is no deceit in God. ⁷His promises are sure. ⁸Only remember that. ⁹His promises have guaranteed His Judgment, and His alone, will be accepted in the end. ¹⁰It is your function to make that end be soon. ¹¹It is your function to hold it to your heart, and offer it to all the world to keep it safe. (A Course in Miracles, M-15.1:11–2:13;3:6-11)

A thread that runs throughout the Course is the importance of quieting our mind. In quiet, a peaceful state of mind we are open to hear God’s Voice. His Voice will always tell us the truth that we are God’s Son, holy and whole, sinless, loving and loved. This is our Creator’s judgment on His Creation.

The ego denies this truth by cluttering our mind with meaningless pursuits, guaranteed not to find the truth. It distracts us from our true purpose, which is to clear away the barriers in our mind that blind us to the truth that only Love is real.

Today we practice frequently opening to the peace of God within, with willingness to follow His Voice. This is how we stay focused on our true purpose. It is how we accelerate our return to the full remembrance that we are united with all as God’s one Son.
