XI. The Test of Truth, P 10
10 He Who has freed you from the past would teach you are free of it. He would but have you accept His accomplishments as yours, because He did them for you. And because He did, they are yours. He has made you free of what you made. You can deny Him, but you cannot call on Him in vain. He always gives His gifts in place of yours. He would establish His bright teaching so firmly in your mind, that no dark lesson of guilt can abide in what He has established as holy by His Presence. Thank God that He is there and works through you. And all His works are yours. He offers you a miracle with every one you let Him do through you.

Journal
We are aware of only the past because that is all that is happening here, the past being replayed so that we can experience it again and make new choices. The new choice we can make is to accept the Holy Spirit’s accomplishments as our own. He has freed us from the past, and to know that freedom we only have to accept it.

Last night I had trouble sleeping. I had a choice. I could lay there tossing and turning and wishing I could sleep, or I could ask the Holy Spirit for His gift. I didn’t know what that gift would be. Would I fall asleep or would it be a different gift? As it turned out, it was a different gift. He showed me how to see the situation differently.

I got up and did work until I was sleepy and I spared barely a moment worrying about how I should be sleeping and what that would mean to me the next day. I did go to sleep eventually and I woke up just fine, and feel good. The Holy Spirit was teaching me to turn to Him in all things. He was also teaching me that the body is not independent of my thoughts. It is not creative and cannot be tired without my belief that it can. These were lessons worth staying up for.

No matter what seems to be happening in my life, if I am not in perfect peace, there is another way to see it. The Holy Spirit is teaching me to always ask for that vision. My growing willingness to accept His gifts in every circumstance is preparing my mind to be a conduit of miracles for everyone. This is helping the entire Sonship to awaken. He is in me and works through me, and I am thankful for that.

“He would establish His bright teaching so firmly in your mind, that no dark lesson of guilt can abide in what He has established as holy by His Presence.” Yes, God! Thank you, God!
