Playing Our Part

"As you share My unwillingness to accept error in yourself and others, you must join the great crusade to correct it; listen to My Voice, learn to undo error, and act to correct it. The power to work miracles belongs to you. I will provide the opportunities to do them, but you must be ready and willing." -- A Course in Miracles; Chapter 1, Section III, 5:6-8

"Each day should be devoted to miracles. Miracles reawaken the awareness that Spirit, not the body, is the Altar of Truth. This is the recognition that leads to the healing power of the miracle. Only the creations of Light are real. The Holy Spirit is the mechanism of miracles." -- A Course in Miracles; Chapter 1, Section I, 15:1, 20:1-2, 24:4, 38:1

Playing our part in the Great Awakening of the Son of God is our true purpose in life. Each of us moves within the dream that ACIM calls the great projection, each with individualized issues and dramas. These don't really matter. What matters is that wherever and however we find ourselves today, every moment of every day can be devoted to restoring our minds to Truth. We don't have to go to a deserted island or a cave to do this... in fact, many who have done so have found their unhealed perceptions simply morphed and stayed with them. We are simply asked to bring ALL our perceptions to the Holy Spirit ALL the time, every Holy Instant, where Truth enfolds our errors and projections and restores our holy awareness to Oneness, undoing the effects of our errors omnidirectionally, throughout imagined time and space. This is the healing aspect of the miracle.

The miracle is a corrective device, since the reality of Spirit is forever whole and perfect and complete. The Holy Spirit, the part of our minds that remains in perfect communication with God and Truth, is the mechanism of miracles. In other words, the Holy Spirit is like the cooking pot... our perceptions and problems and fears are the ingredients we put into the cooking pot... and the Truth that remains eternally in the awareness of the Holy Spirit is the alchemical ingredient that transforms all ingredients into their eternal and essential Truth.

There is another way to look at how we play our part, using analogies within the world as we know it. In acoustics, there is a phenomenon called phase cancellation. For every frequency of sound, there is an opposing frequency, its mirror opposite. When these two frequencies of sound are brought together, there is no sound. You could say that they have achieved the perfect balance and become One. Using this idea, we can see that the Holy Spirit holds within it the balancing frequency for every thought, every error that could possibly exist. By bringing these errors to Truth, we allow the error to meet with its mirror opposite, and so it is no more. Out of this marriage of error and its opposite, there emerges the miracle. In my book (http://www.thelittlebookoforganicabundance.com), I call this spontaneous emergence within the dream Vibratory Kinesis.

A Course in Miracles reminds us that "Miracles are habits, and should be involuntary. They should not be under conscious control." (ACIM; Chapter 1, Section I, 5:1-2) In other words, playing our part is simply to bring all our perceptions, without exception, to the Holy Spirit, all the time. The alchemy of miracles is not our function. Our part is to bring all that we think we are to the Holy Spirit, all the time. The Holy Spirit holds the Truth that corrects all errors, all the time. So playing our part is entirely the willingness to do this, all the time.

Are we willing to play our part? This is not an exercise for the faint of heart. It will cost you the world as you have known it. But, as Dr. Phil might say... how's that working for you?

"Whatever is True is eternal, and cannot change or be changed. Spirit is therefore unalterable because It is already Perfect, but the mind can elect what it chooses to serve. The only limit put on its choice is that it cannot serve two masters. The miracle is a sign that the mind has chosen to be led by Me in Christ's service. The Abundance of Christ is the natural result of choosing to follow Him. Truth is always Abundant." A Course in Miracles; Chapter 1, Section IV, 5:1-3,6:1-2, 3:4
