It is quite possible to listen to God's Voice all day without interrupting
your regular activities in any way. The part of your mind in which truth abides
is in constant communication with God, whether you are aware of it or not. It is
the other part of your mind that functions in the world and obeys the world's
laws. It is this part which is constantly distracted, disorganized, and highly
uncertain.
The part that is listening to the Voice of God is calm, always at rest and
wholly certain. It is really the only part there is. The other part is a wild
illusion, frantic and distraught, but without reality of any kind. Try today not
to listen to it. Try to identify with the part of your mind where stillness and
peace reign forever. Try to hear God's Voice call to you lovingly, reminding
you that your Creator has not forgotten His Son.
We will need at least four five-minute practice periods today, and more if
possible. We will try actually to hear the Voice reminding you of God and of
your Self. We will approach this happiest and holiest of thoughts with
confidence, knowing that in doing so we are joining our will with the Will of
God. He wants you to hear His Voice. He gave It to you to be heard.
Listen in deep silence. Be very still and open your mind. Go past all the
raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your real thoughts and obscure
your eternal link with God. Sink deep into the peace that waits for you beyond
the frantic, riotous thoughts and sounds and sights of this insane world. You do
not live there. We are trying to reach your real home. We are trying to reach
the place where you are truly welcome. We are trying to reach God.
Do not forget to repeat today's idea very frequently. Do so with your eyes
open when necessary, but closed when possible. And be sure that you sit quietly
and repeat the idea for today slowly whenever you can, closing your eyes on the
world, and realizing that you are inviting God's Voice to speak to you.
