Let this day be a day of stillness and of quiet listening. Your Father wills you
hear His Word today. He calls to you from deep within your mind where He abides.
Hear Him today. No peace is possible until His Word is heard around the world;
until your mind, in quiet listening, accepts the message which the world must
hear to usher in the quiet time of peace.
This world will change through you. No other means can save it, for God's plan
is simply this: The Son of God is free to save himself, given the Word of God to
be his Guide, forever in his mind and at his side to lead him surely to his
Father's house by his own will, forever free as God's. He is not led by
force, but only love. He is not judged, but only sanctified.
In stillness we will hear His Voice today, without intrusion of our petty
thoughts, without our personal desires, and without all judgement of His holy
Word. We will not judge ourselves today, for what we are can not be judged. We
stand apart from all the judgements which the world has laid upon the Son of
God. It knows him not. Today we will not listen to the world, but wait in
silence for the Word of God.
Hear, holy Son of God, your Father speak. His Voice would give to you His holy
Word to spread across the world the tidings of salvation and the holy time of
peace. We gather at the throne of God today, the quiet place within your mind
where He abides forever in the holiness which He created and will never leave.
He has not waited until you return your mind to Him to give His Word to you. He
has not hid Himself from you while you have wandered off a little while from
Him. He does not cherish the illusions which you hold about yourself. He knows
His Son, and wills that he remain as part of Him regardless of his dreams;
regardless of his madness that his will is not his own.
Today He speaks to you. His Voice awaits your silence, for His Word cannot be
heard until your mind is quiet for a while, and meaningless desires have been
stilled. Await His Word in quiet. There is peace within you to be called upon
today to help make ready your most holy mind to hear the Voice of its Creator
speak.
Three times today, at times most suitable for silence, give ten minutes set
apart from listening to the world, and choose instead a gentle listening to the
Word of God. He speaks from nearer than your heart to you. His Voice is closer
than your hand. His Love is everything you are and that He is; the same as you,
and you the same as He.
It is your voice to which you listen as He speaks to you. It is your Word He
speaks. It is the Word of freedom and of peace, of unity of will and purpose,
with no separation nor division in the single Mind of Father and of Son. In
quiet listen to your Self today, and let Him tell you God has never left His
Son, and you have never left your Self.
Only be quiet. You will need no rule but this to let your practicing today lift
you above the thinking of the world, and free your vision from the body's
eyes. Only be still and listen. You will hear the Word in which the Will of God
the Son joins in His Father's Will, at one with It, with no illusions
interposed between the wholly indivisible and true.
As every hour passes by today be still a moment, and remind yourself you have a
special purpose for this day; in quiet to receive the Word of God.
