The Holy Spirit is our teacher. Spirit provides all the lessons we need. Spirit teaches our lessons through whatever experience or encounter we are engaged in at any moment. Each lesson is exactly what we need at that moment. If we don’t learn our lesson in one encounter, then it will be taught again through another experience. Spirit is the bridge that connects our lower mind to our higher Spirit mind and Oneness. Spirit holds the memory of who we really are for us and reminds us quietly and continuously of that truth. We carry within our higher mind the reality of who we are and that never leaves us. This week’s ACIM Thought is, “There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost.” (WB-164:4:2) Know that our true nature has never left us. We can return to that awareness any time we choose.
Our body is an idea we made up to reinforce our mistaken idea of separation. But the body is also a learning device Spirit uses to teach us the lessons we need to return to the awareness of who we really are. The lessons take many forms, yet each one is used by Spirit to point us in the direction we need to turn. We are moving from an upside down world that appears right side up to us from an upside down thought system to a right side up thought systems that perceives a right side up world. It’s no wonder the world seems confusing to us when we are left to our own devices. Spirit is the great corrector that rights our perception as we move through this journey returning to the awareness of who we really are.
We begin this journey with a first lesson: “To have all, give all to all.” “All” is contained within the Mind of God, the Mind we are all One with. It is not physical. It is not tangible to our lower thought system. “All” can only be shared. It is the free communication of the Mind of God. It is the web of extension from all of Creation to all of Creation. There is no limitation in the Realm of God. And we can experience this Divine abundance while we still walk this journey in perception. Spirit walks with us to guide us on this journey through perception. Living in the awareness of who we really are does not require the body to die or disappear. It requires only our willingness to shift our perception and change our minds and allow Spirit to guide us in our thoughts. Nothing more, nothing less. It is our choice in the present moment. We either choose to allow Spirit to guide us, or we don’t. We then choose again the next moment. What is your heart’s desire? Is it peace, joy, and love? Or is it something other than that? It’s your choice. Choose Spirit’s way and let it be so.
