The Self has not left your mind; the Self is your mind, your real Mind.
Only the configuration of your mind in a state of self invented illusion,
conceals the Truth that still abides deep in your awareness.
Hence you need not search for Truth outside your mind nor struggle to find It within.
30 December 2022
In the discarding of all that is untrue, you will find the Truth.
Your mind is filled with false ideas about yourself and the world.
From this arises the partial perception
and limited experiences of separation that characterize the sleeping mind.
29 December 2022
The dream will end when you finally tire of it, not before.
Learn to face its conditions honestly,
let go of denial and dissociation.
Remember the glorious Reality that waits for you beyond the dream.
28 December 2022
To bring fear to any situation is to fragment and separate.
Conflict then inevitably results.
Now is the time to relinquish all nightmares,
letting the Light shine through, dispelling the darkness.
They no longer interest you;
you have had enough suffering, enough pain and disappointment.
27 December 2022
Nothing God did not create exists at all.
Fear, guilt, and the mad world that arose from them are imagination,
shadows in the clouds that obscure your vision, nothing else.
It will not prevail against Love.
26 December 2022
Everything that is not Love, is but part of a dream wherein you have lost yourself for a moment.
Only Love exists; God is Love, and you are Love as you were created.
25 December 2022
When Love is all you want to give, then Love is all you will receive.
Never is there any need for anything short of Love, for Love is all there is.
24 December 2022
Fear fragments the family of God, bringing chaos and conflict into all relations.
Love only gives, and fear only takes away.
Always respond with Love no matter what occurs, and only good will come for all.
23 December 2022
Love is a much better motivator than fear which replaced Love after the separation.
Love’s motivation brings us together for the good of all.
Fear divides us, with each staking out his tiny kingdom and erecting thick walls for its defense.
Love would break down all barriers that separate,
and bring together its children into one big and happy family.
22 December 2022
Human motivation is often driven by fear though it is usually not apparent.
The different forms fear may take, the unawareness of its presence and influence,
the dissociation from what you have suppressed,
often hide from you the source of the motivation that drives your actions.
21 December 2022
Do not let the fear inherent in the state of separation,
cast its dark shadow across the whole of your life.
No part of human life is unaffected by the fear lying hidden in the mind.
Thought, feeling, and perception; all are distorted and fragmented by unconscious fear.
20 December 2022
Remember your Father Who calls to you unceasingly.
And remember the Holy Spirit,
Whose care and concern for you are unceasing,
Who guides you along the path He has chosen for you.
19 December 2022
The Love of God is what I am.
Repeat today’s idea quietly to yourself several times.
Today’s idea should be remembered frequently as you go about your day.
If you can, close your eyes and stay with it for a minute or less.
Let this idea permeate your mind and fill you up.
Repeat this idea slowly and silently to yourself.
Try to feel the truth of it.
You are Love, created in the image of God.
You are merely trying to experience the Truth within you, the Truth that is you.
18 December 2022
Today pause and let your awareness sink deep within.
Gently try to feel the peace and Love of God within you.
If you feel something, something that seems real, stay with that feeling until it fades.
17 December 2022
The Love of God is what I am.
Begin by deeply relaxing mind and body while sitting comfortably in a quiet, undisturbed place.
With eyes closed, repeat today’s idea silently to yourself two or three times.
Then, in a calm, unhurried manner, search your mind for situations in which you have acted unlovingly.
The form of unlove does not matter, just the fact that love was absent is enough to warrant correction.
Briefly review each situation in your mind but do not linger too long on any one example.
Say slowly and quietly to yourself:
In this situation involving _____, I chose fear,
but I would choose Love instead.
The Love of God is what I am.
16 December 2022
Today it is my intent to begin to feel the Love hidden deep within me,
and to choose that Love over the fear that darkens my mind and makes happiness impossible.
15 December 2022
The dream world of separation was made real in my imagination
through the choice of fear and the rejection of Love.
To reverse this error, I must reject fear and return to the Love in which I was created.
14 December 2022
How can that which I have invented as substitute for what God created,
assume Love’s role and drive It from my mind?
Only in dreams could this be so;
if dreams are my reality in separation, then fear is real and Love is absent.
13 December 2022
Yet in the world I have invented to take the place of Truth, Love is absent,
banished by my choice of fear, and appearing only in sickly forms
limited by my unwillingness to give.
Fear has become the great motivator driving behavior
and determining the conditions of human life.
12 December 2022
Love is the motivating force through which everything that is real is created.
Nothing exists that does not have Love as its Source.
Love is what I am, what I have been, and what I will always be.
In that, I have no choice.
11 December 2022
Sure it is that I am Love, created by Love to be Itself.
God is the Source of all Love; there is no Love but God’s Love.
Through the extension of His Love I was created,
and through the extension of Love, I create.
God created me to extend His Creation.

To hear God’s Voice I must listen.
Today as often as you can remember, repeat the idea silently to yourself.
When safe, close your eyes and then wait quietly for a while for God’s Voice to speak to you.
You cannot remember this idea too often. What you are trying to do is very important and very holy.
You are trying to open the communication channel to God’s Answer to the separation and every problem you may perceive in your life.
You will succeed if you try sincerely with an open heart and mind, and persevere till communication is attained.
The Holy Spirit is always communicating with you, ever ready to help.
You must simply open the channel at your end.
The Holy Spirit is in your mind, and nothing is more natural than this communication.

To hear God’s Voice I must listen.
Begin today’s practice by sitting quietly for a minute or two with eyes closed, completely relaxing the body and letting the mind become quiet.
When you feel relaxed and receptive, begin by repeating today’s idea quietly to yourself two or three times.
Allowing yourself to relax deeply in body and mind, rest your sense of attention in awareness itself, completely open and receptive.
Let your awareness sink deep into the stillness that lies beneath all the surface chatter, the unceasing busyness of the mind.
Rest in the stillness and without strain or effort, listen inwardly.
What is needed is a still and quiet mind, sensitive to the movements within it.
If you are doing this well, you may feel a sense of contact with something deep in your mind,
or a subtle feeling may arise that may translate itself into thoughts you can hear.
If you are very receptive and ready, you may hear a gentle, still, small voice. Listen to it carefully.

To learn to listen to the Holy Spirit, and be willing to receive His communication and act on it,
is an important and fundamental step on the road to freedom.
We can learn and practice taking that step.
No one can take it for us; it is our decision alone.
7 December 2022
To hear God’s Voice I must listen.
The motivation to hear God’s Voice must come from you.
You must make that decision, just as you decided long ago to listen to the voice of separation, the ego,
and you have been faithful to that decision ever since.
6 December 2022
To actually be willing to hear the Voice for God requires keen interest, sensitivity of mind,
and the intention, even if partial, to receive guidance.
This implies a measure of trust, and the recognition that help is needed.
5 December 2022
To listen inwardly is a different kind of listening,
just as being aware inwardly is a different use of awareness.
It requires a quietness of mind, a stability and openness that must be learned.
4 December 2022
The Holy Spirit is always communicating with you,
ever ready to help.
You must simply open the channel at your end.
The Holy Spirit is in your mind,
and nothing is more natural than this communication.
3 December 2022
Whatever you do, you must do with Love for that is what you are.
The Gifts of God are apparent and ever present
to those who want them above all else.
2 December 2022
You need go nowhere to find Truth,
but you must become aware of everything in your mind that denies and obstructs It.
The false ideas that dominate your thinking prevent the Truth from dawning.
Just beyond your awareness, the Light awaits your invitation to return.
God’s Light will fill your awareness instantly if you will but open yourself to It.
1 December 2022
The Holy Spirit has the task of restoring you to your right mind.
His task is made much easier when you decide to cooperate with Him fully.
All events, situations, experiences, and circumstances will provide you with the opportunity to learn.
You are constantly given the chance to remember who you are in Truth,
and respond with Love and forgiveness for all.
