Wholeness and Spirit go hand in hand. They are inseparable. Our reconnecting to Spirit within us is the path to the awareness of our inherent wholeness. We have never not been whole. We just lost our awareness of the wholeness that is a characteristic of our creation. It can never be lost, only forgotten or buried, only to be rediscovered again when we are ready. Reestablishing our communication with God and Spirit is the purpose of our journey here in this world we have made. This week’s ACIM Weekly Thought from the Foundation for Inner Peace was from Principle 11:
Prayer is the medium of miracles. It is a means of communication of the created with the Creator. Through prayer love is received, and through miracles love is expressed.
ACIM T-1.I.11
Prayer, in whatever form works for each of us, is an effective way to reopen that communication with Spirit and thus God.
The miracle is a learning aid for us to begin and step up on our journey back to the awareness of who we really are. Once our journey is complete, there will be no need of further miracles as there will be no need for the body. But their use is the means that all God’s Creations return to the awareness of who we really are. It is our willingness to listen to Spirit and act on its guidance that opens our eyes and mind. We naturally have Spiritual sight, but we’ve closed those wise eyes and fallen into a deep spiritual sleep. With Spirit’s guidance, we wake level by level to higher and higher levels of awareness. We discover new and wonderful things about ourselves and our true identity as we are lifted on this path. As we allow our journey to progress, it is like being carried on the wings of angels as we leave what is holding us back behind and move on to our next discovery.
We have all the tools we need for our journey. Our journey is uniquely ours yet it is also all of ours for we take it together. Look for Love as we move along on this journey. Communicate with Spirit through whatever prayer form feels open and right. Keep an open mind and listen for Sprit’s guidance. Love is received through this open communication and through the resulting miracles Love is expressed to all God’s creations. We are created by God and thus have been given everything that is. We don’t see that right now, for we have closed our minds to that awareness. But as we open our minds to accept a new awareness of ourselves we begin to see how we have limited ourselves and each other and imprisoned ourselves merely by our limited thinking. As the truth about ourselves becomes stronger in our minds we begin to release ourselves and each other from the imaginary limitations our minds have made up. We begin to feel the freedom of our true nature and the truth about who we really are. What are you waiting for? Take that step. Open the door of prayer and communication with Spirit. Take off in the freedom of Truth and soon we will find we are soaring like an eagle in the awareness of who we really are.
