PART 9 out of 16 from the course on Miracles: We have lost touch with reality and so need the Holy Spirit’s help to be restored to sanity. * God created the Holy Spirit to bridge the gap in communication between Him and His children. * The Holy Spirit’s function is to heal our minds by leading us into a thought system that reflects reality. This is how He guides us home. * The Holy Spirit bridges the distance between reality and illusion. By seeing our illusions in light of reality, He places them in true perspective. * All that we made for ego He takes and uses for our awakening. * We accept Him as our Teacher by resigning as our own teacher.
