Invitation

Invitation; 

the question posed in chapter 11 of A Course in Miracles is whether we wish to be hostage to ego or host to God, and that it's simply a matter of invitation. It's reassuring to consider that we could simply invite the Holy Spirit to respond for us in any given situation, that the default voice of ego is truly an option and doesn't have to be our sole choice of reason.

yet it seems we've entirely forgotten there's an alternative.

or that the Holy Spirit is even present within.

but the Holy Spirit is always our better option, truly our only one, as ego holds us hostage to a false identity, a collection of stories that will only rehash the past and limit us to the most familiar choices. It should be clarified here that the Course describes the Holy Spirit as the healing source of our misperception of the separation from the eternal peace of God. It's our present presence that's always available to guide us home. 

it only waits for our invitation.

so in each moment, with every opportunity...

hostage,

or host?

the choice is ours.
