Willingness to Let Love Be Itself

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 illusions 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 constantly 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)

Our experience as a body in the world is a form of trance. We have hypnotized ourselves with the belief that separation is real. In this hypnotic trance, we believe what we perceive is true. Walls appear to be solid and we cannot walk through them. People seem to get sick or die. Bombs appear to explode and destroy buildings and people. Certain people we like to be with; we may even think we are in love with them. But that “love” is limited to only certain special people. This is specialness, not Love, for Love cannot be limited. All this is part of the hypnotic trance of separation.

To free ourselves from this trance, we need to carefully monitor our thoughts and learn to recognize the signs of the trance. As we do, we have the choice to bring these thoughts and feelings to the Holy Spirit and let Him show us the Truth beyond the images of the trance. Through willingness to accept His help, we learn to let go of our identification with the trance and open to the Holy Spirit’s vision that shows us the reality of Love’s oneness. This practice will set us free to remember the Truth that we remain Love as Love created us.
