The Quest to Remember Love

Robert:
As I observed all the proceedings leading up to and including the Super Bowl last weekend, I became aware of the years of planning, strategizing, effort and pain that went into the quest for that special status of super bowl winner. It was interesting to observe that within minutes of the conclusion of the game the question was being asked of the winner, “Can you do it again next year?” It clearly demonstrated that specialness does not last.

We each have our own version of our ‘Super Bowl’ quest. When we are ego directed, we are always in some way seeking the specialness that will help us feel valuable, safe and appreciated. This is the best the ego can offer as a substitute for the eternal completion in Love that is given by God. The ego’s offering can never satisfy because it is never more than an empty image that will not last. There is nothing the ego can offer that is worthy of the Son of God.

A Course in Miracles is teaching us that all these quests in the world do not deserve our attention because they offer us nothing. All we really want and all we really need is to remember the Love given us by God. It is already ours and can never be lost, but our search for specialness makes us unaware of what we already have. The way out of this futile search is to choose the Holy Spirit as our Guide in each moment. He will teach us where Love is and help us see that Love is all we really want. As we accept His guidance, we will learn to see the Love that is ever present — the Love we all are.

Today is another day to practice letting Holy Spirit guide all my seeing and all my doing.

Mary:
Every moment I am choosing which guide to follow — the ego or the Holy Spirit. What I see shows me the guide I have chosen. The ego will always show me differences — different bodies with separate minds. The Holy Spirit shows me the one Source of Love That resides in the heart of everyone. The Holy Spirit helps me see the eternal truth of Love that is really there beyond the appearance of differences.

Today my practice is to step back and willingly choose to see through Holy Spirit’s eyes. This practice brings me all I really want and need. It brings me to the Heart of God. It brings me to the Truth that can never be changed.
