This is an insane world, and do not underestimate the extent of its insanity.

"This is an insane world, and do not underestimate the extent of its insanity. There is no area of your perception that it has not touched, and your dream is sacred to you. That is why God placed the Holy Spirit in you, where you placed the dream.” -A Course in Miracles

Sometimes the Course can use pretty strong words to get make a point. In the first sentence we could say, “This world is not your home, and do no underestimate your belief in thinking it is so.” But what is important is what the Course is helping us realize, and that is, because I created this illusion, every area of my perception is influence by this belief in the illusion, by my belief in separation.

So the way God answered is by placing the Holy Spirit in the same place where I placed the dream, which is in my mind. So in essence, what the Holy Spirit does is having a continuous conversation with the part of my mind that remember Who I really am. The purpose of our forgiveness process is to allow the Holy Spirit to continue this conversation until His voice becomes more clear than the one of the ego, which is nothing more than a belief.

It is pretty much like having a conversation with oneself. When I talk to myself out loud for example, it seems as if there are two people talking, but in reality, it is just me talking to me. Or I could say, one illusory part of me talking to another illusory part of me. That is the conversation most of us have in our heads when we try to convince ourselves of anything we believe to be true for us.

Many times I have made decisions that were not very wise, because although my feelings were warning me about it, my intellect, my perception, is what I used to justify what I was thought to be true. As a result I ended up suffering the consequences. So the more I practice listening to the Holy Spirit, His guidance always will lead me to truth. And all I need to do, is to simply practice being still and listen. There is nothing for me to do. I just need to hand over to Him every seeming concerned to be reinterpreted by Him, and if there is something for me to do, I’ll be led to it. How simple that is!
