ACIM T-27.IV The Quiet Answer

July 12, 2011

The answer we are looking for is already there for us. It has always been there for us. But we have been too busy and distracted with our own version of the “answer” to notice it. We have kept our mind so busy with the things and problems of the world that we just don’t notice the real answer waiting for us to take notice of it. The answer is true, strong and powerful. It has no doubts and knows exactly who we really are and exactly what we need.

Stillness is the real place of quiet. It is a state of mind. We experience it in many ways, and at many times. It comes to us suddenly when we allow ourselves to be open to it. It comes when we let go of the chattering of our minds. The quiet of Spirit and God is always within us, but we maintain a level of distraction by paying constant attention to the chatter of our thoughts. The chatter of our thoughts has really very little to say, but it’s loud enough to keep us distracted.

Deep within us are the thoughts we share with God and Spirit. They are always there within our mind speaking quietly to us. Nothing distracts them. Nothing can change their meaning from Truth. As we turn away from the chatter in our minds toward the stillness within, the chatter fades into the background and then is gone. What comes to us in this moment is the Voice for God. Spirit is sharing with us the answer to any problem we may think we have. We recognize it at once and know we are One with our Creator and each other. This is the holy instant.

Let this moment fill you with peace, love, and joy. It speaks of who you really are. It speaks of each one you encounter and who they really are. This is the moment of light shining from deep within all of us, for we are all the Creation of God and we can be nothing less that the One Creation of God that we are. We are still living in this world of illusion, but the remembrance of that holy instant will allow us to again become still and hear the answer again we are looking for. God placed the answer in each of us. And God reminds us of that answer every moment of every day. It is our choice whether we choose to be still and hear the quiet answer within us. Let it be so.
