This section talks about miracle impulses. Do we understand what miracle impulses are? They are constantly happening within our mind. These may be the impulses of correct ideas that are always within our One Mind, the Mind we share with God and each other that has never seen or been separate. We just don’t recognize these ideas as rational because we perceive them with a split mind, an egoic mind. Holy or Divine ideas and thoughts will never make sense to us from the perception of a mind attached to its separate ideas. All the perceptions we have made up over our life by trying to rationalize our life experiences and lessons from a belief in a separated reality (illusion) dominate and confuse the mind we think is our real mind. Our separated egoic thinking dulls, distorts, and clouds our perception, making it very difficult to correctly perceive the miracle impulses within our minds.
Thus, we miss the messages and miracles the Voice for God, Spirit is quietly constantly communicating to us.
“Child of God, you were created to create the good, the beautiful, and the holy.
Do not forget this. The Love of God, for a little while, must still be expressed through one body to another, because vision is still so dim.”
ACIM T-1.VII.2.1-3
This is the purpose of our time here in form, in this world of illusion that often makes little sense to us. Miracles are a correction in our thinking. It’s not so difficult to change our mind. We do it all the time, but usually from one misperception to another misperception. But since we are created One with God and share the Mind of God, we have the capacity to correct our mind. It seems difficult and haphazard when we try to comprehend this shift in our separated egoic mind, but God has given us Spirit to guide our corrections, our shifts in thinking. We simply let go of the ideas and thinking we are so attached to and let Spirit guide our minds. Soon enough we will experience glimpses of hope, moments of peace, the glowing of love extended to us from another or to another. In these miracle minded moments we find the awareness of who we really are welling up within us.
The Course takes us on a journey to help us learn the Truth about ourselves and each other. The Course has provided the wisdom of a big brother who knows our path to guide us on our way. This big brother comes in many forms over the journey of our life. Each one we encounter is a manifestation of Spirit offering us an opportunity to let go of some belief or idea we cling to with desperate attachment afraid to let go of. But that encounter offers us an extension of Love, a moment of peace, a remembrance of our whole Divine Self. Let go of everything at that moment. Let the presence of Spirit wash over you in that beautiful peaceful moment. Your mind will be changed. The awareness of the Divine within will well up within you even if just a bit. The ancient call of your true identity will echo in your mind. The door to the awareness of who you really are will open just a bit more, letting in the peace, love and joy already within you arise to the level of your mind.
Take the steps you are led to take. Trust Spirit to guide you well. The joy of living in the awareness of who you really are will shine as a bright light, a beacon to all who want to be aware that they are ion the place you are. You see, they are already there, as you are. They just don’t recognize it due to their cloudy perception. Allow the unclouding of your perception and bring the same to the ones around you. Take the steps, learn the lessons, and let Spirit transform your awareness. You’ll wonder how you could have ever seen otherwise. It is so.
