ACIM-Lesson 284

Loaded to Redbubble 11 October 2018 ~ *Dedicated To:* those brave souls who enter into a personal course of +mind training.+ ~ ACIM Lesson 284 *+"I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt."+* . *+Loss is not loss when properly perceived.+ Pain is impossible. There is no grief with any cause at all. And suffering of any kind is nothing but a dream. +This is the truth, at first to be but said and then repeated many times; and next to be accepted as but partly true, with many reservations. Then to be considered seriously more and more, and finally accepted as the truth.+ I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt. And I would go beyond these words today, and past all reservations, and arrive at full acceptance of the truth in them.* . +_'Father, what You have given cannot hurt, so grief and pain must be impossible. *Let me not fail to trust in You today*, accepting but the joyous as Your gifts; accepting but the joyous as the truth.'_+ : ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ . *The "Instruction" ('What Is the HOLY SPIRIT?') will be copied into the "Artist's Description" right after each new Lesson is provided, even though you are instructed +to read the "Instruction" again prior to each of the 10 Lessons that follow it.+* : ACIM~Part II *+"7.What Is the Holy Spirit?"+* [+Introduction to Lessons 281 - 290+] . *+The Holy Spirit mediates between illusions and the truth.+ Since He must bridge the gap between reality and dreams, perception leads to knowledge through the grace that God has given Him, to be His gift to everyone who turns to Him for truth. Across the bridge that He provides are dreams all carried to the truth, to be dispelled before the light of knowledge. +There are sights and sounds forever laid aside. And where they were perceived before, forgiveness has made possible perception's tranquil end.+* . *The goal the Holy Spirit's teaching sets is just this end of dreams. +For sights and sounds must be translated from the witnesses of fear to those of love. And when this is entirely accomplished, learning has achieved the only goal it has in truth.+ For learning, as the Holy Spirit guides it to the outcome He perceives for it, becomes the means to go beyond itself, to be replaced by the eternal truth.* . *If you but knew how much your Father yearns to have you recognize your sinlessness, you would not let His Voice appeal in vain, nor turn away from His replacement for the fearful images and dreams you made. The Holy Spirit understands the means you made, by which you would attain what is forever unattainable. +And if you offer them to Him, He will employ the means you made for exile to restore your mind to where it truly is at home.+* . *+From knowledge, where He has been placed by God, the Holy Spirit calls to you, to let forgiveness rest upon your dreams, and be restored to sanity and peace of mind.+ Without forgiveness will your dreams remain to terrify you. +And the memory of all your Father's Love will not return to signify the end of dreams has come.+* . *+Accept your Father's gift. It is a Call from Love to Love, that It be but Itself.+ The Holy Spirit is His gift, by which the quietness of Heaven is restored to God's beloved Son. Would you refuse to take the function of completing God, +when all He wills is that you be complete?+* : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ . Here is an excerpt from the last paragraph of the +Introduction to PART II+ which is relevant to the question; *"What Is the HOLY SPIRIT?"*. . From time to time, instructions on a theme of special relevance will intersperse our daily lessons *and the periods of wordless, deep experience which should come afterwards.* These special thoughts (What Is ... ?) should be reviewed each day, each one of them to be continued till the next is given you. *They should be slowly read and thought about a little while, preceding one of the holy and blessed instants in the day.* +Then the next of these instructions (What Is...?) is provided.+ : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .
