Which Voice Am I Listening To?

Heaven asks nothing. It is hell that makes extravagant demands for sacrifice. You give up nothing in these times today when, undefended, you present yourself to your Creator as you really are.

He has remembered you. Today we will remember Him. For this is Eastertime in your salvation. And you rise again from what was seeming death and hopelessness. Now is the light of hope reborn in you, for now you come without defense, to learn the part for you within the plan of God. What little plans or magical beliefs can still have value, when you have received your function from the Voice for God Himself? (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 135, W-pI.135.24:3-25:6. See also ACIM Lesson 135 Insights.)

Do we want to follow the voice for littleness that teaches we are weak and vulnerable and subject to death? Or do we want to follow the Voice for God that teaches us that we share God’s magnitude and eternal Life? In every instant we choose between these two options. The voice for littleness is simply a false idea that can only attempt to teach us that illusions are real, yet can never make them real. The Voice for God lovingly leads us to remembering the reality that we share God’s joy and peace.

To break the habit of listening to the voice for littleness first, it is helpful to practice frequently pausing through the day and asking ourselves, “Am I listening to the voice for littleness or the Voice for God? Am I feeling mad, sad, fearful or anxious, or am I feeling happy and peaceful?”

If we recognize that we are not feeling peaceful, then it can be helpful to step back, take a breath and relax. Then ask the Holy Spirit for help to see as He sees and do as He would have us do. This is our journey to resurrection to the one Life we share with God.
