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.
