I No Longer Just “Get It”

by Rev. Robert B. Mills

Accepting the Reality as put forth by “J” and his plan for a gentle awakening has become very refreshing and inspiring. I am not just talking about getting my own mind opened by accepting guidance from the Divine Spark in my mind. That in itself is beyond what I ever dreamed. I am taking about extending and accepting the Divine Spark from the rest of my true Self — my Brother. It is through this experience I find the full richness of bliss and Love.

I prayed for Guidance and I found it true that all prayer is answered. It is possible also that the answer will not be heard, as, “...no response given by Him will ever be one that would increase fear. It is possible that His answer will not be heard. It is impossible, however, that it will be lost. There are many answers you have already received but have not yet heard. I assure you that they are waiting for you.” (T-9.II.3:3-7)

In my prayer I asked for a different way to look at my acceptance of abundance. This prayer includes: The ease of inspiration and joining with others, willingness to turn over the stones in the garden where I deny love or trade peace for fear, right down to the trust I have in my bank account.

Knowing that I am sincere in healing my mind from years of consorting with a twisted mind in thoughts of specialness and separation, I allow Holy Spirit to guide me. I awoke in the morning, refreshed and ready for the day. I looked at the clock and it was 4:00 a.m. I am no longer bound by a schedule of what’s supposed to be in relationship to my peace or physical condition. I got up and opened the ACIM Text on the table randomly, with Holy Spirit’s direction. I turned to page 163, “The Answer to Prayer.”

I found that the answer to my prayer or the answer I had not yet heard is awaiting in my brother. I discovered I was lacking faith in my brother. I questioned him discovering that faith in the truth about him, which is really my faith in the truth about myself. I had been questioning my own faith. I found that my doubts about my brother were really the doubts I was harboring about myself. I was claiming nothing to be something and this was the barrier to Oneness, the barrier to my awakening to the truth.

I was not fully aware that the message my brother gives me is up to me. What does he say to me? What would I have him say? My decision to see him as he truly is and not just his behavior determines the message I receive. I asked to remember the Holy Spirit in him, and His Voice speaks to me through him. What can so holy a brother tell me except the truth? But am I listening to it? My brother may not know who he is, but there is a Light in his mind that does. This Light can shine into mine, giving truth to his words and if I allow myself to hear them, all is One. His words are Holy Spirit’s answer to me. “Is my faith in him strong enough to let me hear?” (T-9.II.3:5:11)

I have for a tiny moment deceived myself and glossed over it. “J” was not deceived and I was not doubted. My true Inheritance, the Kingdom of Heaven remains in eternity right now. It is not for me alone, for I am never alone. The Truth is true and nothing else. I hear the answer to my prayer through my brother and hearing only the Truth in my brother. All is included in the Truth and the Sonship, for they are one. I see and hear the Truth in my brother with my True Self.

No longer do I just “get it.” As part of my miracles practice, I am in awareness of miracle-readiness. Am I listening for His Voice? Have I made the decision to see my brother as a holy Son of God? Am I learning to unlearn the perceived error I see or hear In the story I made up from my perception of my brother? Am I applying true forgiveness of the story I made up, and is that now nothing in reality to my True Self? Am I doing my part in letting Holy Spirit apply the correction to my error? I am not here to fix my brother. “Of the “Listen, learn, do” only the last is involuntary, because it is the application of miracles which must be Christ controlled. The other two are voluntary aspects of miracle-mindedness, are up to you.” (JCIM principle #47, page 5)

My prayer being stated, I remember “J’s” restatement of the inclusion being all and having all is my original condition of Creation by God. I lack nothing.

All that is Real is given. My brother and I remain in eternity as we were created as one.

I must have gotten the question wrong. I ask that you join me in the reality of “listen, learn and do” and rediscover the limitless Love that is the truth in us all. In Reality that has no opposition. No longer do I argue with Reality and let a story of doubt seem possible. No longer do I desire love, appreciation or approval. I truly have been given Love and am approved and appreciated by Creation. Am I listening and learning? Peace and blessing are done for All.
