Opening to Our Holy Vision

Your purpose is to see the world through your own holiness. Thus are you and the world blessed together. No one loses; nothing is taken away from anyone; everyone gains through your holy vision. It signifies the end of sacrifice because it offers everyone his full due. And he is entitled to everything because it is his birthright as a Son of God. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.37.1:2-6)

To give everyone their full due, we must be willing to open up to Holy Spirit’s vision. The Holy Spirit remembers that everyone has all of God in them, just like we do. The true beingness of everyone is the same Love of God.

To practice this consistently we must exercise our “I don’t know what anything means” muscle. It seems so easy to bring the past to the present and project it into the future. So we practice, again and again, stepping back and letting Holy Spirit show us the eternal present in God. Practicing this consistently is worth the effort. It brings us peace, happiness and joy. We are brought to the awareness of our real Life, the Life we all live in God as God’s one holy Son.

So we practice today, again and again, letting Holy Spirit lead the way, healing our perceptions of separation and returning us to the awareness of Love’s eternal Presence. This is how we see the world through our own holiness. This is how we accept our birthright as a Son of God.

We Rise Above the Battleground

In every moment we have the opportunity to rise above the battleground of the ego’s world to see the Love that is ever present. We take the opportunity each time we are willing to let the Holy Spirit interpret all our perceptions. Anything we try to interpret on our own will be mistaken because it is based upon an imagined past.

But when we let the Holy Spirit interpret all things on our behalf, we will learn to see the Love and oneness beyond the fear and disconnectedness. This is how we forgive. This is how we loose the world from all we thought it was. This is how we return to Love. We are grateful for another day filled with opportunities to practice rising above the battleground.

Receive Peace. Extend Peace.

The peace of God is shining in you now, and from your heart extends around the world. It pauses to caress each living thing, and leaves a blessing with it that remains forever and forever. What it gives must be eternal. It removes all thoughts of the ephemeral and valueless. It brings renewal to all tired hearts, and lights all vision as it passes by. All of its gifts are given everyone, and everyone unites in giving thanks to you who give, and you who have received. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.188.3)

The greatest gift we can receive and give is the gift of God’s peace. It purifies our mind of all wandering thoughts and brings with it a sense of well being, safety and caring. Its kind Light extends through us to the world. God’s gift of peace sets everything right again, when we feel lost and unsettled. It brings us back to our Source, where we belong. It is our rudder, our safety, as we travel in the rough seas of constant change in this world.

Receiving God’s gift of peace brings all the inspiration we need with any circumstance we encounter. We open to the Light and the Light leads us Home. Receiving peace purifies our view of the world so we can see clearly. Today our practice is to focus on receiving peace and as we receive peace, we just naturally extend it to the world.

Opening to the Holy Spirit’s Light

Today is an opportunity to see the face of innocence — the Love of God — in everyone and everything, everywhere. It is always there to see. But to see It we must be willing to give up our wild imaginings, our dreams of individuality and specialness.

Today we dedicate to holding our minds open to the Holy Spirit’s Light that it may shine on everything we encounter to show us the truth beyond the forms. We gladly offer all our perceptions to the Light. We are willing to let the Light shine away the mistaken beliefs and welcome the truth of our oneness in Love. This is how we will recognize our brother as our one Self. This is how we let the world of conflict be replaced by the real world that sees only our oneness. We are willing to receive God’s gift of all His Love today.

Our Only Real Need

The world you see must be denied, for sight of it is costing you a different kind of vision. You cannot see both worlds, for each of them involves a different kind of seeing, and depends on what you cherish.

And what you call with love will come to you. Love always answers, being unable to deny a call for help, or not to hear the cries of pain that rise to it from every part of this strange world you made but do not want. All that you need to give this world away in glad exchange for what you did not make is willingness to learn the one you made is false.

Love leads so gladly! As you follow Him, you will rejoice that you have found His company, and learned of Him the joyful journey home.

Love waits on welcome, not on time, and the real world is but your welcome of what always was. (A Course in Miracles, T-13.VII.2:1-2;4:2-4;6:3-4;9:7)

We have dreamed a dream of being separate and alone, vulnerable to a world that we see as outside us. We are learning that these are simply mistaken thoughts. We are leaning to forgive or let go of these thoughts and welcome the truth.

We are so grateful we have an inner Guide, our true Self That leads us out of fear as soon as we are willing to be open to mind healing. We gratefully accept Love’s lead as we see the Love in every brother and join in Love’s eternal oneness.

Our Prayer Today

Holy Spirit, help us to be messengers of Love today. Help us to see past all appearances to the reality of Love. Help us to offer Love where there appears to be lack of Love. Help us to see as You see. With Your help we will see Love’s innocence reflected everywhere and learn that it is our own. With Your help we will see the real world, the forgiven world, that reflects the Love of God. And we give thanks.

Awakening from Our Dreams

[Dreams] are dreams because they are not true. Their equal lack of truth becomes the basis for the miracle, which means that you have understood that dreams are dreams; and that escape depends, not on the dream, but only on awaking. Could it be some dreams are kept, and others wakened from? The choice is not between which dreams to keep, but only if you want to live in dreams or to awaken from them. (A Course in Miracles, T-29.IV.1:2-5)

We waken from dreams when we are willing to no longer believe in them. Dreams are really nothing, but they appear very real while we still are attracted to make them real. It is the Holy Spirit in our minds That shows us the difference between truth and illusion. As we are willing to consistently step back, the Holy Spirit shows us again and again that there is nothing to fear. Our eternal Reality remains safe in our oneness with God.

Each day our practice is to be willing to be shown that we are dreaming a dream and that its content is not true. This is what the Course calls forgiveness. We are learning to forgive our illusions and return to the awareness that we never left our Father’s Home in Heaven. Forgiveness is our only function here while we still think we are a separate body living in a world that is separate from us.
