Welcoming Peace into Our Minds

The hush of Heaven holds my heart today.

Father, how still today! ²How quietly do all things fall in place! ³This is the day that has been chosen as the time in which I come to understand the lesson that there is no need that I do anything. ⁴In You is every choice already made. ⁵In You has every conflict been resolved. ⁶In You is everything I hope to find already given me. ⁷Your peace is mine. ⁸My heart is quiet, and my mind at rest. ⁹Your Love is Heaven, and Your Love is mine.

The stillness of today will give us hope that we have found the way, and travelled far along it to a wholly certain goal. ²Today we will not doubt the end which God Himself has promised us. ³We trust in Him, and in our Self, Who still is one with Him. (A Course in Miracles, W-286.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 286 Insights.)

The ego is terrified of peace. It recognizes that a mind at peace is open to the Holy Spirit’s inspiration. A mind at peace is not paying attention to past “memories.” A mind at peace welcomes the vision of Christ which sees past the ego’s false images to the eternal presence of Love in the now moment.

The ego has many schemes to distract us, keeping our mind busy with meaningless activities. To the ego, form is all meaning and the content doesn’t matter. To our true Self, the oneness of Love is all meaning and form without Love is meaningless. We can free ourselves from the temptations of the ego by pausing frequently to welcome peace into our minds. With this practice, we welcome Love and happiness. We welcome the hush of Heaven.
