11.05.23 "Accepting Reason / Rejecting Madness"
A Course In Miracles uses the word “reason" in a unique way. It uses it to mean thinking which is sane, or maybe the double negative is better, thinking which is not insane. Reason is not madness. The thinking of the ego world is all insane – all madness.
However not all thinking comes from the ego mind. Some thinking comes from the Holy Spirit and that thinking IS sane and therefore reasonable. "The home of madness cannot be the home of reason. ... You do not leave insanity by going somewhere else. You leave it simply by accepting reason where madness was." (OrEd.Tx.21.61) We accept the sane thinking in the mind. It is there and yearning to be heard. We just need to accept it and then the insane thinking fades away and finally disappears. In the process of fading, the madness is still occasionally heard. Let it be, so that it can continue to fade. Don’t react defensively to it and thus strengthen it.
Sickness and death are insane. They are part of the madness of the ego world. "Is it not madness to think of life as being born, aging, losing vitality, and dying in the end? ... all this is taken as the Will of God. And no one asks if a benign Creator could will this." (OrEd.Mn.27.1) “Benign” means, “gentle and kindly.” Would a gentle and kindly Creator have made us, and the world we live in, go through painful experiences of sickness and death? “No.” That would not be reasonable. "In this perception of the universe as God created it, it would not be possible to think of Him as loving." (OrEd.Mn.27.2) Let’s step out of our intellects and into an intuitive reality of reason. Let’s perpetually inspire ourselves to make the reasonable and sane choices. Let’s accept reason and reject madness.
