Never Forget

I seem to believe that there is a struggle going on within my mind. It seems valid that I share this part of the Course that I recently read: “An ancient lesson is not overcome by the opposing of the new and old. It is not vanquished that the truth be known, nor fought against to lose to truth’s appeal. There is no battle that must be prepared; no time to be expended, and no plans that need be laid for bringing in the new. There IS an ancient battle being waged against the truth, but truth does not respond. Who could be hurt in such a war, unless he hurts himself? He has no enemy in truth. And can he be assailed by dreams?” (T31.II.1;1-7)
That part was more meaningful to me from the message that Spirit shared with me the day before I read the text and the day after.

[Day 1] Spirit: Never forget—-you are the light of the world.
Forgiveness is your function as the light of the world. Forgiveness gives you everything you want. Forgiveness is the escape from guilt, and the freedom from pain.
You are the light of the world. You really want the truth and nothing else. Make the choice to have peace and the truth is given you. Truth is given you now, yet without peace of mind you do not recognize it. The peace of God is in you NOW—-but you have put a veil across it, making it appear foreign and absent. When you forgive, you are letting the unreal thoughts go, uncovering the real thoughts you share in Love. This is all you really want in truth.

[Day 2] The desire you sometimes feel to help others—-covers the fear of unworthiness. The hidden guilt (made secret by the sick mind) has constructed your dream life, motivated the body’s actions, and made the error real. The underlying thought of such “help” was to atone, to make your self worthy and deserving of love.
What Love has made whole—-remains exactly as it was created. The thought that anything could exist apart from Love is merely ridiculous and laughable. The sick mind holds tightly to this idea for without it, this mind does not exist. The mind may make dreams about itself, yet these dreams can change in appearance by giving them another purpose.

The dream is given the purpose of healing. Your purpose becomes one with Christ’s purpose. Your only function is forgiving the world you think you see and live in. The forgiving dream is the happy dream. By forgiving the thoughts the sick mind seems to hold, you free your brother, you free your self,  you free your Father. You do not have a greater purpose than this.
