“You can trust in your Self. Will you? By tending your garden you will develop this trust and prepare for your descent to level ground.
“Your self-guidance can be thought of as an internal compass. It will not necessarily know the answers as each answer is sought, but if paid attention to, it will show you the way to knowing. (A Course of Love: Dialogues, p. 196)”
Affirmation: “May I trust in my Self.”
Reflections:
We have often prayed for guidance from the Holy Spirit. This was the way laid out for us in A Course in Miracles. We may not have fully understood exactly Who the Holy Spirit was, but we knew that He was our true guidance, as the Course made clear. Now we are led to understand that we can get guidance from our Self–the grander Self, not the little self of the ego. We have traveled farther along the pathway.
Turn inward for this internal guidance of the Self. This Self will lead us down the mountain top to level ground.
Previously, not only have we listened to the Holy Spirit, but we have sought external guidance from other teachers and books. Now we reach inward, and we find the guidance that we have sought so fervently. This Self-guidance is the way that we will come to know the one Self, the Self that we share with all the universe.
Prayer:
Dear Father/Mother,
May I come to know through listening to guidance from my Self. May I never mistake the Self for the little self that is frequently informed by the ego.
Thank You for this logical progression, in the time of Christ-consciousness. Our heretofore dependence upon the Holy Spirit is tempered by the understanding that we live in the time of Christ now.
Amen.
