Extending Love Is Our Only Purpose

by Revs. Robert & Mary Stoelting, Founders of Pathways of Light

We bring Love into the world as we remember that our true purpose is to extend Love instead of judgment to everyone in this world.

Our Inner Teacher leads us past our individual ‘self’s’ belief in guilt and separation by helping us see the innocence of every brother we see in the dream of separation.

It is the Holy Spirit in our mind that shows us the Light of Love that is the truth of every brother. The Love in every brother is not a dream but the eternal truth of What he is. It is our one true Self that shows us this as we are ready and willing to receive the truth.

In the Course Jesus tells us, “Forget not that the healing of God’s Son is all the world is for. That is the only purpose the Holy Spirit sees in it, and thus the only one it has. Until you see the healing of the Son as all you wish to be accomplished by the world, by time and all appearances, you will not know the Father nor yourself. For you will use the world for what is not its purpose, and will not escape its laws of violence and death.” (T-24.VI.4:1-4)

As we allow our ‘life’ purpose to be about forgiving the world from all we thought it was, we welcome the Holy Spirit to lift us above the laws of this world to free us from the belief in specialness and differences. As we are willing, the Holy Spirit shows us the world of oneness that lies past the world of differences. The Holy Spirit frees us from believing in the fearful images of loss, pain and death.

Recognizing our brother’s holiness benefits us in that it helps us remember that what God created has not changed. What God gave us (Himself), He gave for all eternity. This means we are still safe in the Mind of God, just as every brother is. We have lost nothing, even though it may seem so in our dreams of separation.

Jesus tells us, “Your brother’s holiness shows you that God is one with him and you; that what he has is yours because you are not separate from him nor from his Father.” (T-24.VI.2:5)

When we let go of illusions of what we are, the Holy Spirit can help us remember the Love that created us. Divisive judgments are replaced by inclusive recognition of the Love that joins us with all of Reality. We learn to overlook appearances or differences and see our unity with every brother in God’s Love. God sees us all as one in His Love.

Our true purpose is to see everyone equally as sinless. Our true purpose is to see that God created us all the same and that, in truth, there are no differences. We are learning from the Holy Spirit to see that we all are the same sinless Son of God. As we extend to everyone equally the Love our one Self gives us, we give impartial witness to the power of God’s Love and justice. And what we give, we receive because there is but one Self.

As we learn from our Inner Teacher to see past the ‘self’ of another, we are helped to release the idea that we are an individual ‘self.’ This forgiveness process of letting go of ego concepts of individuality and differences leads us back to the recognition that, in truth, we are united as one Self in the one Mind of Love.

Jesus tells us, “…changing concepts is salvation’s task.”

(T:31.VII.1:3)

The Holy Spirit uses bridges to lead us from where we think we are to where we are in truth. The Holy Spirit gradually leads us to the recognition that all concepts of the ‘self’ are meaningless in the end.

Our Inner Teacher leads us past our individual ‘self’s’ belief in guilt and separation by helping us see the innocence of every brother we see in the dream of separation.

“You cannot give yourself your innocence, for you are too confused about yourself. But should one brother dawn upon your sight as wholly worthy of forgiveness, then your concept of yourself is wholly changed. Your ‘evil’ thoughts have been forgiven with his, because you let them all affect you not. No longer do you choose that you should be the sign of evil and of guilt in him. And as you give your trust to what is good in him, you give it to the good in you.” (T:31.VII.2:4-8)

We ascend into Heaven when we completely identify with Christ, the Son of God. No part of our mind seeks anything other than to be part of the eternal giving and receiving of God’s Love. We celebrate Christ today by welcoming the presence of Love within and giving it to all without limit. This is our part in the salvation of the world.

We join with the Holy Spirit in our mind to see the truth of Love in every brother. Love does not judge whether anyone is worthy, for it sees only the truth in everyone. Love sees only Love.

Let’s join to celebrate the presence of Christ in our mind by accepting the Holy Spirit’s help to let go of beliefs that seem to separate us from our brothers. Without those interfering beliefs, the giving and receiving of Love flows freely and we remember that Heaven is our Home.

In our daily practice of accepting the help of the Holy Spirit when we feel fearful or judgmental, we are guided to let Holy Spirit guide us back to accepting the Love that we are and return to giving the Love that is everyone’s true Nature.

We are guided to return to the truth that the Heaven of Love is our true Home and that there is nothing but Love to see. We return to giving Love instead of thinking we know anything on our own.

Below is a meditation we received from the Holy Spirit to help us rise above to see the Love when we forget and find ourselves judging something or someone:

Relax and open to the presence of God’s peace and quiet…

Let the Holy Spirit heal your perceptions by inspiring you with how to see everyone as still being one with God…
As you do this, you also remember your oneness and safety in God…

Let the Holy Spirit remind you that there is only one, changeless, perfect eternal Love…

Because we were all created by God, we are all the same Love as God… We are all changeless Love eternally…

As you practice day-by-day seeing the eternal truth about each and every brother, you are able to see that everyone is still the Love of God. Everyone is still in the holy Home of God Himself…

You practice seeing the eternal truth until that is all you want to see…

You see clearly that as you accept and extend the truth of universal Love, you become a Teacher of Love, expressing Love in the world…
