The Holy Spirit never itemizes errors because He does not frighten children, and those who lack wisdom are children. Yet He always answers their call, and His dependability makes them more certain. Children do confuse fantasy and reality, and they are frightened because they do not recognize the difference. The Holy Spirit makes no distinction among dreams. He merely shines them away. His light is always the Call to awaken, whatever you have been dreaming. Nothing lasting lies in dreams, and the Holy Spirit, shining with the light from God Himself, speaks only for what lasts forever. T-6.V.4:1-7
A Course in Miracles (p. 232). Foundation for Inner Peace. Kindle Edition.
The above passage is a further encouragement to accentuate the positive and minimize the negative which is the function of the Holy Spirit. The “miracle” is a shift in perception from the world of the ego, conditional love, to the Kingdom of God, unconditional love. The Holy Spirit functions to facilitate the emergence of peace and joy from the nightmares of our sleeping state.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Today it is suggested every time you are faced with a decision to ask “What would love have me do?” Ask the Holy Spirit to help you make your decision. If peace and joy arise you have chosen correctly. If fear and guilt arise, choose again.
