The Path to Lasting Peace and Happiness

When you have learned to accept what you are [Love’s extension], you will make no more gifts to offer to yourself, for you will know you are complete, in need of nothing, and unable to accept anything for yourself [alone]. But you will gladly give, having received. The host of God need not seek to find anything.

If you are wholly willing to leave salvation to the plan of God and unwilling to attempt to grasp for peace yourself, salvation will be given you. Yet think not you can substitute your plan for His. Rather, join with me in His, that we may release all those who would be bound, proclaiming together that the Son of God is host to Him. Thus will we let no one forget what you would remember. And thus will you remember it.

Call forth in everyone only the remembrance of God, and of the Heaven that is in him [everyone]. For where you would have your brother be, there will you think you are. Hear not his appeal to hell and littleness [separation], but only his call for Heaven and greatness [call for Love]. Forget not that his call is yours, and answer him with me. (A Course in Miracles, T-15.III.10:7-12:4. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Our true Self is Love, united with all in Love’s oneness. Our true Self is eternally complete, having all Love and needing nothing else because only Love is real. It is this Self we need to remember is What we are. God’s plan for our salvation, given us through the Holy Spirit, is simply to lead us out of the self-made limitations that come with belief in separation.

As we are willing to accept the Holy Spirit’s guidance, we learn that no form in the world will ever bring us lasting peace and happiness. No form in the world is permanent because it is an illusion. It can seem to make us happy in the present and a moment later seem to be lost. We have given every form in the world its meaning to us. Forms have no meaning of their own.

Holy Spirit will gently, patiently and lovingly teach us to recognize that all forms have no value, no true meaning and cannot content us. As we let go of the meaning we give forms, we make way for changeless Love to fill our hearts and bring us Home to Heaven.
