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.
