A Course in Miracles A Path to Peace
...we can trust nothing outside us, because everything is an illusion, projected by the ego to distract our attention from our minds. But the one thing in all the world we can trust is what is inside—in our right minds, the “resting place”—and that is the Holy Spirit. And so He is always asking that He be offered a place where He can rest. The same metaphor is used in many other places. There is the lovely lesson, “I will be still an instant and go home” (W-pI.182), which states that the Christ in us Who comes as a little child asks that He make His home in us. And there are other places where Jesus says the same thing—that he will rest in us and we will rest in him. Finally, we read this beautiful statement of the unity of our rest that embraces the Sonship as one—it closes Lesson 109, “I rest in God”:
You rest within the peace of God today, quiet and unafraid. Each brother comes to take his rest, and offer it to you. We rest together here, for thus our rest is made complete, and what we give today we have received already. Time is not the guardian of what we give today. We give to those unborn and those passed by, to every Thought of God, and to the Mind in which these Thoughts were born and where they rest. And we remind them of their resting place each time we tell ourselves, “I rest in God” (W-pI.109.9).
