A Course in Miracles with Female Words Day 286 (October 13th)

Text reading: "How is Judgement Relinquished?" and Lesson# 286 "The hush of Heaven holds my heart today."What is the Holy Spirit?The Holy Spirit mediates between illusions and the truth. Since She must bridge the gap between reality and dreams, perception leads to knowledge through the grace that God has given Her, to be Her gift to everyone who turns to Her for truth. Across the bridge that She 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 She perceives for it, becomes the means to go beyond itself, to be replaced by the Eternal Truth.If you but knew how much your Mother yearns to have you recognize your sinlessness, you would not let Her Voice appeal in vain, nor turn away from Her 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 Her, She will employ the means you made for exile to restore your mind to where it truly is at home.From knowledge, where She 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 Mother’s Love will not return to signify the end of dreams has come.Accept your Mother’s gift. It is a call from Love to Love, that It be but Itself. The Holy Spirit is Her gift, by which the quietness of Heaven is restored to God’s beloved Child. Would you refuse to take the function of completing God, when all She wills is that you be complete?Happy practicing!
