You Are Spirit

Holy Spirit through Mary:  Let us start by remembering that this is a dream and in reality you are Eternal Spirit. As Eternal Spirit you are one with the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Oneness, Wholeness. Think about it: You are one, undivided Spirit that is universal. Let it sink in that this is your Identity. This is what you are — Spirit — holy or whole Spirit.

Remember you are not separate from the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is in your mind, willing to take the reigns as you allow it. The Holy Spirit is the bridge of return. Because the truth in you is the Holy Spirit, you are the bridge of return as you remember your true Identity. So all your “doing” in the world of illusion will be directed toward being instrumental to the whole Sonship in undoing the dream.

Continue to relax into remembering your constant and unchanging Identity as eternal Spirit. This remembering does not come through efforting or “trying,” but by relaxing into that quiet place in your mind where your true Self resides. Here you receive the inspiration in how to be truly helpful to the one Son of God, Love’s Extension. You do not go Home alone.

As you come to see that you are united with every brother, your helpfulness includes everyone. There is no specialness in Holy Spirit’s plan. Continue down this road that you are walking with Danny and Diane. Continue to have the shared intent of following your true Self’s plan. Join in listening together. Inspiration will show up as you are prepared to receive it. Continue to decide nothing on your own. Continue to think in terms of wholeness — one undivided whole.

The way to be most truly helpful in Holy Spirit’s plan will unfold before you and you will feel peace and unity. You will feel an inner happiness and a sense of security that is not found with the ego’s plans. You will feel the touch of Christ upon your shoulder and the Love of Christ in your heart. You will know that there is no harm and that you are safe and secure. A sense of vulnerability will fall away as you continue to know your oneness and that you have one purpose and one goal.

This is a happy time. Do not be afraid. Know firmly that you are being led by One Who knows what is best for all concerned. Rest in His Love frequently today and every day. Rest in His peace consistently. In this state of peace, the appropriate inspiration comes to you at the perfect time. As you consistently practice choosing peace, you will see that this is true. You will feel more strongly Love’s Presence gently guiding you hour by hour, day by day. With Holy Spirit as your Guide, nothing is impossible. Your way is made straight and clear. It is accomplished easily by consistently choosing Holy Spirit’s peace that puts you in a state of mind where inspiration is accessed easily. Amen.

Holy Spirit through Robert:  Time is one of the ego’s tools for making separation seem real. Time seems to separate the past, present and future into separate parts. Time seems to make the future unknowable, uncertain and threatening. A sense of urgency, anxiety, impatience all come from belief that time is real. The ego tells us that if we don’t do something right now, we will lose the opportunity and therefore experience loss. It tells us if we don’t prepare to protect ourselves now, we will be harmed in the future. It tells us that there are unseen things and events lurking in the future that will bring us harm. All this comes with belief in the ego thought system.

Be not deceived by the ego’s trickery. Time is a meaningless illusion and can have no effect on the holy Son of God. The world you see through the body’s eyes was made to give the illusion of reality to the ego thought system. Don’t believe it. Let yourself be gently guided by the Hand of the Holy Spirit past the false images of the feverish dreams to the Light of your wholeness, your Reality.

Trust comes easily to the mind aligned with the Holy Spirit. Uncertainty comes only from trying to make illusions real. So when you find yourself out of peace, remember this comes only from believing in a mistake. Turn again to the Holy Spirit in your mind and give Him back the reigns. As you practice stepping back with each thought of uncertainty and turning to the peace within your mind, the seeming reality of the images in the dream will fade and the reality of the certainty of Love will become stronger and stronger. Focus on this practice and all your doing will be gently guided in peace and happiness.

We Are All the Same Love

Holy Spirit through Mary:  There is a difference between self-ishness and selflessness. In truth, there is only one Self and that is the one Mind of God, the Mind of Love. An inherent quality of Love is extending Love. In truth, we all are Love’s extensions, continuous and eternal. We are all the same Love. There is nothing else. In the dream, we dream of a separate self with a separate body. We dream we have separate interests, unique from each other. Within this framework, selfishness is the law of this territory. We are now learning to shift from selfishness to selflessness. In selflessness, there are no private possessions, no private thoughts. There is no me and you. There is only one Self.

This move you are now embarked on within the framework of the dream is symbolic of shifting from the mentality of separateness to the awareness of oneness. With oneness awareness, there is only one interest, the interest of the one Self. The one Self calls us all Home to be aware of our one true Identity. So use this time of shift and movement to a new location in the physical world to allow your mind to be shifted from a sense of being an individual to a sense of beingness in the one Mind of the One united Love of God. This is time wisely spent. In fact it is the most important thing you could possibly do.

You want to release yourself from the imprisonment of the ego. You want to recognize the power and safety of your true Identity. Like the title of Pathways of Light course 132, “Self Image Transformations,” you are allowing a deeper level of trust in your true Self to carry you to the awareness of the one Mind. From there all decisions in the world are simple. There is no doubt. You know that giving is receiving. You would have nothing that is yours alone. You remember that God’s Will is your will and there is only one Will.

Holy Spirit through Sharyn:  God’s gift of Love to you is great. So great, you could never, ever begin to imagine. This Love is so soft and gentle, yet so strong and peaceful. This is your inheritance, but you have just touched on the very tip of the iceberg to experience it. God wants you to experience His Love in greater awarenesses to bring about more peace and joy in what you call life. Do you think for one minute that He who loves you so greatly would ever let you down? Do you think that He Who loves you so greatly would ever not be there for you? Do you see how foolish it is to ever think for one minute that He would not bring you perfect happiness when it is His words that you follow?

Follow Him and you will be led to greater heights than you ever dreamed possible. Follow Him to the place of peace where He wills you to be. Physical places do not matter to Him because He lives within you. Seek out His words and follow. Follow them no matter what you think. Just follow them. Let your own words or thoughts fall away and only follow His Thoughts. You will be led to paradise and feel the Heaven that you will be led into. You are in Heaven now will be a statement you will truly understand. Amen

Holy Spirit through Robert:  The ego always sees complexity. This is because it can only perceive bits and pieces, being the thought of separation that breaks the whole into pieces. The Holy Spirit always sees simplicity because it always perceives wholeness. So when you are thinking within the ego thought system, you will be seeing all kinds of complications and difficulties. Your mind thinks a constant stream of, “What about this? What about that? How can that happen? What if this doesn’t happen? Blah, blah, blah.”

When you observe your mind ruminating on questions such as these, step back and hand them over to the Holy Spirit. Rest in His peace. Know with confidence that the Holy Spirit sees the whole and with His vision will gently guide you in perfect peace and happiness. It is not your job to figure out how the myriad pieces the ego tries to make fit together. As part of its focus of seek and do not find, the ego does not want the pieces to fit together. But the Holy Spirit, seeing the whole, knows what pieces are irrelevant and disregards them, bringing together the pieces into a whole in the world that reflects the wholeness of Heaven.

You have one job, one role and that is to step back and let Him lead the way. Hold your dedication of your eyes, your hands, your feet, your voice to the Holy Spirit in His service. That is all that is asked of you. In return, the Holy Spirit gives you the gift of Life. It is the gift of freedom and Love, which you will share in boundless joy. Amen

My Will for You Is Perfect Happiness

Holy Spirit through Robert:  Rest in Me… Rest in Me… Rest in Me… I am your strength, your safety, your Source. Trust in Me, Who’s love for you far exceeds your wildest imaginings in the world of separation. My Will for you is perfect happiness, perfect safety. Join with Me and know your Self. I love you as Myself, for We are One and can never be torn asunder. What was created One remains as it was created, indivisible, united with its Creator. I love you with a love far greater than you can conceive of in the world. Rest in My Love. Trust in My Love. Be certain of My Love. My Love is all you have ever wanted because it is what you are. Your true heart’s desire is to be your Self. Think of the love of the most kind and caring parent you can imagine and know that this is but a miniscule symbol of My Love for you, My creation. You are loved. You have always been loved. You will always be loved. That can never change.

You are being asked now to lay down your defenses against My Love and accept My eternal gift. No sacrifice is asked of you. You are simply being asked to give up nothing to gain everything. I placed in your mind a gentle Guide to show you that what you thought had value is valueless so you will easily lay it aside and make room for My gift.

Choosing belief in separation demands the sacrifice of awareness of the gift I hold for you. As you cease to value meaningless, valueless images, you move toward the end of sacrifice and the return to full awareness of the Heaven that is your Home. I call to you now to join Me in the Home I have created for you and held open for your return. In truth, your place has never been vacant. Only in painful dreams did you think that you had left. But dreams are never true. Come rest in Me and share My joy.

Holy Spirit through Mary:  On this first day of the New Year, let all your concerns about the move and all it entails gently fall away. Let them fall away by handing them over to Me. I know what to do with these concerns. Trying to figure it out ahead of time is not helpful. This is a giant trust walk. Walking through this with Me will strengthen your trust muscles. Give me the reigns. I know the way.

This is how you can tell if you are taking over the reigns. Do you ever feel vulnerable? Are there thoughts that there might not be enough to do what you need to do? Are you forgetting that all your real needs are always being met? Are you relaxed? Do you have a total sense of well being and being cared for in the most perfect way possible? If not, it is time to return again to strengthen your trust muscles in the Holy Spirit.

Trusting in the ego’s solutions has never really worked and has not made you happy. But trusting in the Holy Spirit’s solutions brings you into a state of mind where you have a deep abiding peace. Allow that peace to fill your heart and mind. Allow that abiding peace to be extended to everyone and fill every relationship. Let Holy Spirit’s abiding peace be your foundation. Allow this habit to become stronger each day. Practice choosing peace more and more each hour, more and more each day. It is upon this foundation that Holy Spirit’s pathway to light is formed. On this pathway to light you reach Heaven. You become aware of Love’s Presence everywhere and in every situation. Every situation joyfully becomes an opportunity to join with the Holy Spirit in everyone, which leads the whole Sonship Home. You are alone in nothing.

These Holy Spirit gifts are always right there in your mind, waiting for your acceptance. On this first day of the New Year, join with Holy Spirit by accepting God’s gifts of peace and joy and extending them to the world. Amen.
