In the confusion and merriment of making a move in the world of form, I find that part of my mind puts up many forms of resistance to truth. There seems to be myriad distractions to keep my attention on the things of this world. Yet I always have a choice. Do I want illusions or truth, conflict or peace, fear or Love? Today I had a moment to receive insight from Spirit and it follows…
Me: How can I be truly helpful?
Just forgive, true forgiveness is the way Home.
You can forgive yourself for all the things that you “save” to make you feel safe. All things are distractions to keep you “busy” with form, and to forget the truth that remains in you.

Two years ago my daughter and I were involved in an accident. We were uninsured. We went to court and paid the fees. I thought this was over until September 1st, 2006, when I received a motion for a lawsuit.
My first thought was to get angry and defensive. Then I thought, “I must choose Holy Spirit, not ego.” I laid the papers in a box. A few days later, I picked up the papers and decided, “I will turn this over to Holy Spirit and ask for His instructions.” The papers said that I had to make an appearance and file a response. I asked the Holy spirit, “What kind of a response?” This is what He gave me: “Ask for forgiveness of everyone in the situation.” I wrote a letter asking for forgiveness and attached it to the response.

What a true statement I have come to understand this Lesson to be! I recently took a trip to India to attend a beautiful celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Foundation called The Art of Living.
It was a wonderful celebration, and I support their loving work that goes all around the globe. The teachings of the founder, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, are not really in conflict to the ACIM, even though they have a touch of Hinduism to it.
However, it was the plain people of India who really taught me the big lessons. So I bless them for their so very valuable teachings that they give just by being who they are.

On the Pathways of Light web site, you will find questions and answers for each section of the Text of A Course in Miracles. Below are questions and answers for Chapter 19, Section IV D-i: The Lifting of the Veil, from pgs 421-424.
What does Jesus mean when he talks about lifting the veil?
In this insightful section, Jesus tells us that lifting the veil to see the Christ in every brother is our only meaningful purpose on our journey of returning to the truth. Again and again in the Course, Jesus reminds us not to make the error of separation real or we will remain in hell, along with our brother. “No one can look upon the fear of God unterrified, unless he has accepted the Atonement and learned illusions are not real.” (9:1)

There’s an old song that goes, “Love is nothing ‘til you give it away… you end up having more. Love is like a magic penny, hold on tight and you won’t have any. Lend it, spend it. You’ll have so many, they’ll be rolling all over the floor.” And this is true with miracles today.
What we focus on increases and expands, be it love, miracles, forgiveness, or God’s healing light. It all will become abundant and all my brothers can reap the harvest. The more we try to control in our lives, the less we will truly be happy.

God has a wonderful plan for His Son. And that’s all of us on this planet earth. In A Course in Miracles it says, “Once you accept His Plan as the one function that you would fulfill, there will be nothing the Holy Spirit will not arrange for you without your effort. He will go before you making straight your path, and leaving in your way no stones to trip on no obstacles to bar your way. Nothing you need will be denied you.” T-20.IV.8:4-12
This last sentence really touched me today, because I realized that “I” do not know what I really need to heal. But the Holy Spirit does. I review in my mind all the things the Holy Spirit arranged without my effort.

In this dream I think of as my life, there are many little dramas playing out. If I am living unconsciously, I think that they are just happening to me; that I am a victim of other people, of my environment, and let’s be honest, I think I am a victim of God. My unconscious lament becomes, “Why me, God?”
As I begin the process of awakening from this dream, I start questioning what everything is for. What if the dramas in my life did not simply appear there out of nowhere? What if there is a divine purpose, behind everything in my life? What if I knew that life would bring to me every experience I need to awaken me to my true Identity? How would that change my perception of life, and how would that new perception change the way I choose to live?
