Truth will correct all errors in my mind,
And I will rest in Him Who is my Self.
As we move ahead from yesterday in better understanding the Truth, we are assured that its quiet strength will heal our wounds and realign our misguided thoughts. Remember that Truth resides in Light, and light shines away the darkness with graceful ease.
The Course tells us today, "Illusions can be brought to truth to be corrected. But the truth stands far beyond illusions, and can not be brought to them to turn them into truth." Truth, then, must be sought, but as A Course in Miracles adds, "It does not hide. It stands in open light, in obvious accessibility. It is impossible that anyone could seek it truly, and would not succeed."
When we seek Truth, we find it. Sometimes, oftentimes, we must make the trek through the murky darkness before we reach it. This is precisely why the pathway to Truth does not come easy when we first decide to embark upon it.
Every lie we make veers us off course as we become lost in the fog of our dark illusions. It takes a certain vigilance to continually persist toward Truth. The only way this vigilance will come is if we have an awareness of what awaits. For what good is Truth if it only appears to lead us into darkness?
This is why we must remember Who We Are. This is the meaning behind the second part of today's meditation: "I will rest in Him Who is my Self." "I will rest," in this circumstance, can be rephrased as "I will be at peace." "Him Who is my Self" is the Truth of our being - the Christ within us, our Higher Self. This is what Truth has to offer us.
As we continue to understand the inherent Peace of our nature, we will continue to move closer to ultimate Truth, ever more vigilant to push past the darkness. To fully understand our own inner Peace, we must demonstrate it wherever we go. We cannot wait for World Peace to befall upon us. We must bring it to the world. As we covered in yesterday's lesson - through our giving, we will receive.
So let us be a Beacon of Peace and stand in the Light of our Higher Self wherever we go and to everyone we meet. Let us extend the Peace of Love to our earthly brethren that we may know it ourselves. As we do, we move closer toward the Light of Truth. We stay our course in the presence of even the grimmest illusions and remain steadily vigilant as we trust in the exaltation God's Truth will provide. When we arrive, Truth will wipe away any remaining errors in our minds. We will be healed and Perfect again, resting safely in the loving arms of our Lord - at One with our True Self... forever at Peace, and forever in Joy.
And so it is. Thank you, and Amen.
Until tomorrow,
Journeyman
