Remembering I am One With My Source

I’m grateful for another day to practice letting Holy Spirit be my Guide in all my seeing and doing. I’m grateful for the opportunity to see the Love of God is everywhere.

Every moment is an opportunity to see the gift of God’s Love that is eternally mine but has been unacknowledged because I thought I was separate from my Source. As I step back into peace today, I walk with God, feel His loving Presence in me, and let It flow through to all my brothers, who are one with me.

Looking Past the World

Above all else I want to see differently. The world I see holds my fearful self-image in place, and guarantees its continuance. While I see the world as I see it now, truth cannot enter my awareness. I would let the door behind this world be opened for me, that I may look past it to the world that reflects the Love of God. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.56.3)

The Holy Spirit is always there in my mind, waiting to show me the truth that is hidden behind the illusions of separate bodies I am seeing. The Holy Spirit patiently waits to show me that only Love is there.

Today is dedicated to letting the Holy Spirit show me the truth behind every separate form. When I am willing to let the door behind this world be opened for me, I will see that perfect security and complete fulfillment are my inheritance. I will feel safe and at peace, remembering that only Love is real.

This is worth the practice. What could be more important than waking up from the dream of separation and recognizing what I am and where I am in Truth? And the good news is that everyone is there, one with God’s Love, along with me.

I have a long established habit of thinking I am on my own. Along with that I think it’s up to me to make things happen. It’s up to me to open the door behind the world to see past it. If it’s going to get done, I’ve got to do it. This is circular thinking because it is this thinking that keeps the door closed.

Two key words in the above quote are “let” and “for.” All I have to do is let the door behind this world be opened for me. My job is simply to get out of the way. Nothing more. My practice today is to step back and step aside to let Holy Spirit open the door to the vision of Christ that sees beyond the world of form.

Shifting from Time to Eternity

Healing occurs as we are willing to let the Holy Spirit bring us past perception of time to see the eternal Truth in everyone. As we are willing, the Holy Spirit shows us that time is an illusion and only the eternal is real.

Our practice for today is to devote our “time” to receive Holy Spirit’s correction of our misperceptions throughout the day. It is very tempting to give reality to all the stories found in time. Because our only true purpose is to wake up from these dreams of time and space and differences, it is only our one true Self That remembers the truth of eternity for us.

Today our practice is to return again and again to hear the Holy Spirit give us a correction of our perception — to bring us from time to eternity. With Holy Spirit, we are reminded again and again that only the eternal is real. We all are eternally still as God created us. Nothing has happened to change God’s one Son. Returning to this truth again and again is what today is for. We have it all and are it all right now because only God’s eternal Love is real.

Listening for Holy Spirit’s Inspiration

The Course tells us that the Holy Spirit sees our dreams but does not believe them. This is a clue for how we are to be in the world. It seems that we look out through the body’s eyes, make sounds with our mouths we call words, can feel things we touch. Yet all these are illusions that we are being asked to release. We release them by doing what Holy Spirit does — don’t believe in them. This seems like a balancing act because while we are doing things in the world, it’s easy to fall back into the habit of believing that the things we do and say and see are real.

We need the Holy Spirit’s help — the steadfast certainty that none of this is real and only Love is real — to lean on as we let go of the meaningless images of the world. We can’t do it on our own. The practice of stepping back as often as we can remember throughout the day and checking in with Holy Spirit’s perspective is how we loosen our identification with the seeming reality of the world. This is how we forgive the world. This is how we use the images of the world as instruments in service to the Holy Spirit that will lead us Home to the full remembrance that we remain as God created us.

Today our practice is to put peace first and hold our minds open to Holy Spirit’s inspiration.

Accepting God’s Peace in This Present Moment

Today our practice is to open our minds to receive God’s peace. Peace melts away what was never true. Peace purifies the mind of all thoughts of conflict. Peace dissolves the barriers to Love and welcome’s Love’s Presence.

Peace is not a little gift. As we are willing to accept peace, all of Holy Spirit’s inspiration for how to be truly helpful in the present moment comes with it. Today we ask only to accept Holy Spirit’s peace and to extend it to the world. As we accept peace, we let Holy Spirit’s plan flow through us and experience its blessing as it blesses the world.

Holy Spirit, How Do You See This?

To teach is to demonstrate. There are only two thought systems, and you demonstrate that you believe one or the other is true all the time. From your demonstration others learn, and so do you.… Teaching is but a call to witnesses to attest to what you believe. It is a method of conversion. This is not done by words alone. Any situation must be to you a chance to teach others what you are, and what they are to you. No more than that, but also never less. (A Course in Miracles M-Intro.2:1-3,7-11)

In every moment we are choosing whether we want to reinforce our sense of isolation, weakness and loss or awaken to the certainty that we remain in God, cannot be alone, have all of God’s strength and all of His gifts. Put in these terms, the choice seems obvious. But in our everyday experience, it doesn’t seem obvious because we are focused on the thought system of separation.

The moment-by-moment practice of keeping our minds open to receive Holy Spirit’s vision in place of our limited perceptions is how we learn to teach and learn that we remain as God created us. Our practice today is to frequently ask, “Holy Spirit, how do you see this?” He will always witness to the truth in us. This is all we want. This is all we need.

Receiving Our Father’s Gifts Today

Receiving Our Father’s Gifts TodayYou are as God created you. There is no place where you can suffer, and no time that can bring change to your eternal state. How can a world of time and place exist, if you remain as God created you?

What is the lesson for today except another way of saying that to know your Self is the salvation of the world? To free the world from every kind of pain is but to change your mind about yourself. There is no world apart from your ideas because ideas leave not their source, and you maintain the world within your mind in thought. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.132.9:2-4;10:1-3)

Right now there appears to be two thought systems from which to choose. Like the story of the prodigal son, we have chosen to wander in a dream world of separate bodies with separate interests. We are now ready to return to our Father’s Home, to return to the oneness of our Father’s Love. Our Father has great gifts to share with us.

Today it is our practice to receive our Father’s gifts as we are vigilant to return to Love. We realize that Love is the answer to every situation we encounter. Our Father welcomes us with gifts of peace and Love and joy as we increase our willingness to know our Self. We realize our wanderings into being separate from Love meant nothing and had no effect. And our Father welcomes us with open arms. Accepting our Father’s Love and extending it to the world is what today is for. This is our only purpose and we give thanks.
