The Consistent Choice of Truth

It is extremely important to be conscious of the activity of your mind as it takes place in your life in the form of a continuous or near continuous stream of thoughts, images, feelings, emotions and responses to outward conditions. Without this awareness, the willingness to choose Truth over illusion cannot be brought into play consistently. Through the consistent choice of Truth, the mind is quickly and skillfully undone. In fact, the willingness to be vigilant even every moment, to be consistently present in your mind, is necessary for your willingness to choose Truth to have a chance to do so.

Willingness itself will grow under the Holy Spirit’s tutelage until it includes your entire life and all that you think, feel and do. Willingness is the single requirement you must supply to the undertaking of the process of awakening to and as the Self. The Holy Spirit will provide everything else that is needed, and will supplement your little willingness with His. (From the Christ Mind Book II, p. 125)

What do we really want? Do we want peace of mind, certainty of purpose, limitless Love, and perfect happiness? All this is ours when we accept the Truth of our Self. We have made up a false image that we experience in the world which hides the awareness of our Self from our awareness. Yet the gifts of our one Self remain ours.

Willingness to consistently monitor our thoughts and bring all thoughts of fear and guilt, lack and loss, to the Holy Spirit is the key to remembering our True Self. We need only be willing to lay aside the false images and be taught to recognize the Truth that we remain as Love created us.

We have taught ourselves to see a world of images that is not there. We can be taught to recognize them as false and see past them to the truth of our Self, Which has already accepted God’s gifts and shares them with every brother. Today we are willing to accept Holy Spirit’s lessons in truth and share them with every brother. We are ready to consistently choose Truth with Holy Spirit’s help.
