X. The Equality of Miracles, P 11
11 As God communicates to the Holy Spirit in you, so does the Holy Spirit translate His communications through you, so you can understand them. God has no secret communications, for everything of Him is perfectly open and freely accessible to all, being for all. Nothing lives in secret, and what you would hide from the Holy Spirit is nothing. Every interpretation you would lay upon a brother is senseless. Let the Holy Spirit show him to you, and teach you both his love and his call for love. Neither his mind nor yours holds more than these two orders of thought.

Journal
I often have the experience of learning as I teach. In fact, when I am given a new idea or greater clarity, I deliberately teach it right away. I want to make it mine. I want to understand what was given to me so I pass it along. As I am sharing, inevitably more comes. It is exactly as Jesus is telling us in this paragraph. As God communicates to the Holy Spirit in you, so does the Holy Spirit translate His communications through you, so you can understand them. What is given me is meant for everyone so I share it everywhere he would have me share, and my own understanding grows with each sharing.

The second thing he is telling me is that I must hide nothing from the Holy Spirit. When I ask the ego for an interpretation, I am hiding it from the Holy Spirit. This includes what I would think of my brother. Would I ask the ego to interpret my brother? As Jesus says elsewhere in the Course (T 20: III, 7) Ask not this transient stranger, “What am I?” He is the only thing in all the universe that does not know.” I don’t want to ask the ego anything about my brothers. Let me always turn to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to teach me my brother’s love and his call for love.

Recently, someone who means a lot to me became angry with me. I hear the ego offering me its interpretation of this situation. It insists that it is unfair and unreasonable for this person to be angry with me. The ego wants me to retaliate, or if I won’t go for that, it wants me to defend myself. It sounds reasonable if judged from the ego’s perspective. But I keep asking the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit keeps showing me this being of Love who in her pain is calling for love. What could I do but answer?
