ACIM T-7.VI From Vigilance to Peace – 2

We have given up the awareness of our power.  We are created with the power of our Source; God if that is how you identify Source.  We are One with that Source.  And we somehow have decided to not believe that about ourselves.  The Mind of God, of Source is the only real thought system.  However, we have used the power of our mind to make up another thought system we have chosen to believe.  This thought system is based on the premise that we are not One with Source, that we are a separate entity that lacks what it needs to exist and therefore must take what it needs from others.  The simple belief in this idea of lack and separation gives it power in our mind to make us unaware if our true power and Oneness in unity.  The two ideas cannot coexist and when we try to make them coexist they make conflict in our mind.

 

Peace and Love are the natural condition of our true and real thought system.  Conflict cannot exist in the presence of peace and love.  If we choose to believe the idea of separation and therefore lack, we will experience conflict, for lack and separation are not consistent with who we really are.  Thus we will not be fully aware of peace and love.  There is no room for conflict in peace and love.  The egoic mind, the separated mind, feeds on this conflict and uses it to preoccupy our mind to keep us distracted from that within us that knows who we really are.  The Holy Spirit, the Higher Holy Self, is ever present within our True mind gently reminding us of who we really are, while knowing that we cannot be anything other than our true essence and cannot possibly hurt who we really are.  Our Higher Holy Spirit Self doesn’t fight with that which is merely an illusion and a mistaken belief that has no real power.  Any conflict we experience is simply made up in our made up thought system.  Spirit recognizes that we have chosen to mistakenly believe there is conflict in our life and therefore holds our true nature for us, waiting for us to relinquish our attachment to conflict we made and choose to be guided to see differently.

 

We need not search and find the reality of who we are by ourselves, but merely ask for guidance from Spirit in reawakening to this reality.  We are still who we really are.  This essence is always within us.  We never lose the peace and love that is the core of our being.  We simply allow Spirit to guide us to the awareness of who we really are.  We simply relinquish our attachment to this made up thought system and reawaken to our real essence.  Peace will be our foundation and love will flow from within us in an ever flowing stream.  And this flow will fill us with the joy of our Source within and around us.  So where do we begin?  Spirit asks us to be vigilant for any conflict we experience and use that as a reminder to look to Spirit for guidance in changing our perception which will result in bringing us to the awareness of peace within us.  We need not be vigilant for peace, for we already have peace.  We simply need to recognize and let go of the blocks to our awareness of peace that keep us believing in a mistaken thought system.  Choose now to follow Spirit’s guidance and open to the joy of the awareness of who we really are.  Peace tells us we are there.  And we know we are One with Source and all of creation.  This is where our true power lies.
