Christ Remains Beside Us Through the Day

Mary:  Today the thought that stands out to me the most as I read Lesson 153 is, “We rise up strong in Christ, and let our weakness disappear, as we remember that His strength abides in us. We will remind ourselves that He remains beside us through the day, and never leaves our weakness unsupported by His strength.”

Late yesterday afternoon I received a call from a woman who is a niece of someone from our Wednesday night ACIM study group. Through them she heard that the Pathways of Light campus was going to be up for sale. She told me she is looking for a retreat center where she can have group gatherings and facilitate classes. We agreed to show her the property this morning. I am going to use this as an opportunity to step back and let the Holy Spirit lead the way. I am going to practice remembering that by myself I know nothing. I am going to have a chance to practice the lessons I am receiving from the Holy Spirit and remember that God’s strength abides in everyone.

When I come from a place of remembering His strength, it will be easier for me to do my part in the role we all have of allowing ourselves to remember the truth about ourselves and every brother. As I am willing to connect with God’s strength, the rest is made easy in the moment.

Holy Spirit:  As you go through the circumstances that present themselves in your schoolhouse this morning, use them to practice accepting God’s peace and extending God’s peace. It is through the acceptance of God’s peace that understanding comes to you. Now you know the purpose of the dream is not to reinforce your belief in it, but rather to undo your belief in separation.

Everyone who comes into your life is one with you, whether you recognize it or not. Your remembering helps everyone remember. Ask of everything, what is it for? It is now for the practice of stepping back and letting the Holy Spirit take the reigns to do Its healing work. It may look like showing someone some property, but what it is really for is to join in peace and love. It is for awakening to the truth. Amen.

Robert:  This journey of awakening that we call moving to Florida has already had what seems to be many twists and turns. Each unexpected turn has been another reminder that of myself I do not know what anything means. It is helpful to remember the purpose behind the form called moving to Florida. It’s not about the move. The move is just the context for the lessons. The purpose is to learn to follow the Holy Spirit’s lead in every moment.

In the past frequent seeming changes of direction would have disturbed me and stimulated uncertainty. Now more often I chuckle and smile to myself as I see it as another reminder that of myself I know nothing. These lessons are terrific. They are freeing me from my self-imposed limits and expectations. These seeming changes in direction that occur sometimes daily I am recognizing are not changes in direction at all.

There is really only one direction. That direction leads Home. It is only forms that seem to change. And these changing forms are simply the effects reflected in the dream of my continued opening to Holy Spirit’s lead. What is most important for me right now is to practice not attempting to interpret on my own what any form in the dream means. Period! Don’t go there. Attempting to interpret on my own simply makes the path seem rough when it is actually exquisitely prepared with rose petals strewn before me as I am welcomed on the journey prepared for me by the Holy Spirit’s kind and gentle Love.

My heart is filled with gratitude. And Love always comes to a grateful heart. It is becoming easier and easier to see the Love in my brother beyond any mask that may appear to be there. There is great contentment in knowing and remembering the strength of God is ever present. Each moment He is telling me, “I am here.”

The Move Is Simply A Setting For the Lessons to Be Learned

Mary: The sentence that stands out to me today as we read Lesson 153 is, “Each hour adds to our increasing peace as we remember to be faithful to the Will we share with God.”

I feel an area that I need to work on as I go through the day is to consistently accept God’s peace and extend God’s peace. It still seems like I have ups and downs, when I am forgetting that I am God’s Son and completely safe in every way. There are still times when I forget that I am only God’s Love and that I am in Heaven now.

I am being brought to the awareness that I still need more practice in this area. I get wrapped up in the world’s stories far too easily it seems. So this sentence had a lot of meaning for me. The Holy Spirit does not leave me comfortless and will remind me of the truth whenever I am willing to listen. I am willing now.

Holy Spirit:  Smile! Absolutely, everything is unfolding in perfect order.

When you start worrying, you have jumped out of the present moment. This transition time will be much easier for you if you do this one thing: Remember the holy instant. The holy instant is eternal and changeless. The holy instant is your reality, now and forever. The holy instant is the only “real time” there is. In the holy instant you remember there is no past, there is no future. Love is eternally present, now and forever, unchanged by the ego’s constantly changing stories.

Sometimes it seems hard to believe this, but the holy instant is your only reality. Anything else is an hallucination and is not real. You want to be brought to the truth. Well, this is the truth. You are eternally safe in God. You are in God and of God. Nothing can change that. This is God’s Will and as you are part of God, it is your will. You are just coming to realize what your true Will is. This is a lesson worth learning.

As you learn this lesson, you will be brought to the awareness of the consistent peace that you are asking for. The stories will always be in a state of constant change which causes doubt and uncertainty. This need not be. You are now in a school where you are learning to choose the constant state of peace instead of the ego’s yo-yo world of uncertainty, doubt and fear. This is your lesson now.

You have the means to learn the lesson well. To learn this lesson you must be willing to step back from the constant flow of ego thoughts and look at these thoughts with Me. There together, we will see their foolishness. Together, as you join your mind with Mine, you will receive the truth of God’s constant peace and just naturally extend it to the world. This is your lesson now. Enjoy!

Sharyn:  After opening the Course twice to the same page today, I knew the second time that I better look and see what it is that I need to learn today. As I looked on the page my eyes went directly to, “A healed mind does not plan. It carries out the plans that it receives through listening to wisdom that is not its own. It waits until it has been taught what should be done, and then proceeds to do it. It does not depend upon itself for anything except its adequacy to fulfill the plans assigned to it. It is secure in certainty that obstacles cannot impede its progress to accomplishment of any goal that serves the greater plan established for the good of everyone.” (Lesson 135)

When I read that, the word WOW! came to me. Who do I think I am that I could plan anything or carry out a plan that I thought of on my own? Of myself I can do nothing. And as I read that this morning, I had such a feeling of security and of being carried and taken care of so completely by my Father, Who wants only goodness and joy for me. Just knowing that He says any obstacles that I think are in my way are just a figment of my imagination, for there are no obstacles that will ever be put in my path or anyone’s path when the greater good for the awakening of all is the goal.

How blessed to be part of this great awakening and to know that I am being helped every step of the way. How wonderful it is to feel so excited about being able to fulfill my only purpose. How wonderful to feel that I am guided so beautifully by the One Who knows what is best for me and the good of all. Thank you God. I love you so much. Amen.

Robert:  Yesterday we met with one of the the realtors for the third time. This time he brought his office manager and his marketing director with him. Our meeting was unlike any other business meeting I’ve ever participated in. The realtor began by going through part of his presentation, saying what they would do if we chose them.

It became very clear in our hearts through a sense of peace and inner joy that this is the organization for us to join with to accomplish this part of Holy Spirit’s plan. There was no need to waste time listening to the rest of his presentation. The certainty was already there. So we said, “You don’t need to go further. Let’s talk about how we can join together.” We talked about how our goal in this process of selling the Pathways property in Kiel is to serve the highest good of everyone, including Pathways, our neighbors, the township, the realtor team, the buyers and anyone involved in the process. We shared that we knew that if we hold this goal, each step will flow easily into place. After discussing necessary details, we closed with hugs all around.

Holy Spirit:  I have said repeatedly that the form of the move is simply a setting for the lessons that are to be learned. The form of itself is unimportant. It is how the form is used in the service of awakening that is important. In that meeting you could see a little of how joining with a shared purpose to be helpful for all can have a healing effect for many, many people.

This is an opportunity to teach by demonstration. Your willingness to see in the three from the real estate office the love and innocence in them and the desire to be truly helpful teaches them and you of your shared innocence. Your shared one Self that is Love and nothing else.

You felt in the meeting a sense of being deeply blessed because you accepted the Love you are and saw it in your brothers. As you practice this, these experiences will become common place for you because they come from being your true Self. This is your most natural state because it occurs when you have let down your defenses against Love, Which is What you are.

Learning My Lessons of Trust and Gratitude

Mary: My thoughts this morning center on remembering I am in Holy Spirit’s school and my lessons are about trust and gratitude. The part that stood out to me in Lesson 153 this morning is, “Yet when we can, we will observe our trust as ministers of God, in hourly remembrance of our mission and His Love. And we will quietly sit by and wait on Him and listen to His Voice, and learn what He would have us do the hour that is yet to come; while thanking Him for all the gifts He gave us in the one gone by.”

The reason these particular words stood out to me this morning is that I am realizing that my lessons right now from Holy Spirit are focusing on my level of trust and gratitude. I now go in quiet to my inner Teacher in order to learn my lesson well.

Holy Spirit:  The more you open your mind to Me, the more you will know that if you are asked to do something in the world, the means for its accomplishment will be given you. The more you consistently open your mind to Me, the more that trust will come naturally. And along with trust, comes gratitude as you recognize that God’s gifts are yours and cannot be taken away by any dreams of separation or lack.

You want to strengthen your trust? You do it by joining with Me in your mind, for in truth we are one. It is this willingness to join consistently that brings you the trust you need to do My work. When you trust in Me, you will not worry about how things will be accomplished. You will be relaxed and feel confident that everything that shows up in the dream is in perfect order for the lessons everyone is to learn. And as your trust strengthens, your gratitude for how perfect Holy Spirit’s plan is just wells up within you.

Your lessons in trust and gratitude all stem from your being willing to open your mind to Me. With Me you recognize the ego’s judgments are meaningless and mean nothing. You recognize that trying to figure it out on your own will not work. You keep your mind open and calm, trusting that “I am here.”

Robert:  It seems like I have a to do list that goes up one arm, down the other and trails behind me. But guess what. That’s my list, not necessarily Holy Spirit’s. There may be things on that list Holy Spirit will guide me to do. But Holy Spirit knows time is an illusion and will never use a “to do” list to make time seem real. If I feel overloaded, it’s because I’m using my “to do” list to make time seem real.

In the dream, things seem to happen sequentially. But the Course tells us that the Holy Spirit is in charge of time. It’s not my job to worry about whether everything will be done in the right time. It is my job to give all my concerns about time and the future to the Holy Spirit. If I’m willing to follow His lead moment by moment, everything that needs to be done will be done at the time in the dream that it needs to be done.

Part of the overloaded “to do” list is also the effect of self-imposed limits on how things can get done and who can do them. One of the lessons that is part of the exercise of moving to Florida is learning to let go of all limitations. Once again I am seeing that the move is simply an outward symbol of an inner lesson that teaches me I have no real limits. I have plenty of imagined limits, but I have been given an awesome gift through this move. I have been given the gift of a magnificent classroom in which I can learn to let go of limits. Wow! My heart is filled with gratitude.

I dedicate this day to the practice of following Holy Spirit’s lead, moment by moment. Thank you Holy Spirit for your kind and gentle guidance.

Sharyn:  When I woke up this morning the first thing that came to my mind is, “What will today bring? What’s in store for me today? Will I have enough time to finish what I have to get done?” The “what’s” and “if’s” and “how’s” didn’t stop. So I got out of bed, stood there and bent over with my head toward the ground and said, “Holy Spirit, please empty this mind.” As I imagined all the thoughts just falling out, when I stood back up after several minutes, I asked Holy Spirit to now fill my mind with only Your Thoughts today.

This is what Holy Spirit said: When you question how are you going to have enough time, you are making time real. The one and only purpose for time is to heal. The only way to heal is to come to Me with all those thoughts.

You see, sometimes you think you know what’s first on the agenda and what’s next and what’s next after that. Did you forget that it’s My agenda that is important. Not yours. And you cannot know My agenda and what I have in store for you unless you come to Me. The phrase, “Know thy self” means exactly that. That is your one and only job.

For as you really learn to know your Self with My help, any thoughts of lack or separation or why or how will all fall away and you will see that all that’s left is you and Me. And I only give you thoughts to remember the true Love that you are and the true Love that everyone is. When you look upon another, always remember what you are thinking of them, you are thinking of yourself.

Feel the gifts and be grateful for all the gifts you receive from Me. Then it is your job to pass those gifts on to whomever you meet. Make sure what you pass on is truly a gift that I gave you, and not one that you thought you had to give. Your thoughts mean nothing without coming to Me.

Thank you for emptying your thought this morning and allowing Me to fill you with My healing thoughts. Your goodness and joy and happiness are My only wishes and thoughts for you. Any other thoughts that come to you that are not of goodness, joy, happiness and love are false thoughts that you made up yourself. Learn to “soak” in My Love and just rest in that. And soak some more until you feel that Love fill every cell and every space around you. Then carry that Love out into the world.

Going to Holy Spirit with Every “Problem”

Mary:  This morning as we reread ACIM lesson 153, a couple of sentences particularly stood out to me. One is, “God’s ministers have chosen that the truth be with them.” The other sentence that stood out to me was, ” We will remind ourselves that He remains beside us through the day, and never leaves our weakness unsupported by His strength. We call upon His strength each time we feel the threat of our defenses undermine our certainty of purpose. We will pause a moment, as He tells us, ‘I am here.’”

Yesterday was a particularly busy day. The phone was ringing; the Spanish translation needed entering, and it seemed like we were getting behind. The reason these sentences stood out to me this morning is that they are gentle reminders that I need to continue to practice realizing that God is with me all through the day, even during the busy times of the day.

I am reminded here that I need to continue going to the Holy Spirit with every “problem” that pops up up during the day. My job is to follow, not lead, in every moment. This is my practice today, as I begin the day opening my mind to Holy Spirit’s guidance.

Holy Spirit:  This is a time of quickening the pace—the celestial speed up. You are ready, but you can only handle this pace with Holy Spirit. It would be impossible on your own. The speed up is nudging you into a greater joining, a greater allowing of the truth to enter your mind.

You know you cannot do this alone. You know that you must remember that you are being carried. You know that stepping back again and again throughout the day and letting Holy Spirit take the lead is how you allow yourself to be carried. You know that you must “kick it up a notch” with your willingness to stay relaxed and listen.

The opinions you have carried with you from the past mean absolutely nothing. You must practice staying in the eternal present. This is your lesson now and you have all the help you need to learn this lesson well. And as you learn this lesson, your mighty Companions show up and you see the depth to which you are being carried.

God goes with you all through the day. It is your job to let the truth be with you. You are safe. You are innocent. You are Loved. You are Home. This is the truth about God’s one Son. Nothing has happened to change this reality in any way. As you go through the learning opportunities of the day, practice stepping back just a moment and taking a deep, full breath. Relax and tell yourself, “God is with me. I am willing to know the truth now.”

Robert:  Once again I am seeing that the form in the world symbolizes my thoughts and lessons. With the busyness of yesterday we saw that one computer was a bottleneck because too many things that needed to be done required that computer. We talked about how we could open up that bottleneck so there could be a better work flow.

As we have been going through this process, we have been told repeatedly that it’s not about the form. It’s about lessons in opening to a greater joining and inclusiveness. This computer bottleneck is a symbol of the limitations we have imposed upon ourselves in our minds. We are being asked to be more open and inclusive and to welcome all who choose to join in the role Pathways is to play in Holy Spirit’s plan. As we have shared about the direction we are being led, it has been heartwarming to receive many offers of help. The opening up of this computer bottleneck is a symbol of opening up our welcome to more help.

Holy Spirit:  As has been said before, you are in a classroom. Your Teacher has prepared a kind, gentle, customized curriculum to teach you the lessons that will lead you to total freedom from limitation. The role that Pathways of Light is given in the plan of awakening is far greater than you alone. You must accept the help that is offered you. You must accept My help. And you must learn to recognize my help when it is given you in form in the world. That help can look like people volunteering to help or computer software that can help you fulfill your service more easily. Help is available to you in many forms.

This is why it is so important that you diligently practice stepping back and opening your heart and mind with willingness to receive My Vision. With this Vision you will recognize the help that is offered you. Without it you are blind and you feel alone, overwhelmed and frustrated. Learn to recognize these feelings as signals that it is time once again to step back and open to the Holy Spirit in your mind.

As you do this, you will find yourself being more accepting of the mighty Companions who are with you as you walk on Holy Spirit’s path of awakening. You have never been alone, though sometimes you felt alone only because you closed your eyes to their presence all around you. Walk in complete confidence that you have everything thing you need in every moment, not to serve the ego’s whimsical ideas of happiness, but to serve what Holy Spirit knows will bring you perfect, lasting joy. Practice, practice, practice.

Sharyn:  Today I’m having thoughts of, “When will this happen? How will it happen? Where are we going?”

Holy Spirit:  You can trust that all the answers to your questions will be told you by Me when the timing is right. You cannot rush a beautiful piece of art or a sculpture. It is done in a timely manner with great thought and love and creativity put into the art work.

This move to Florida is not just a simple move. It is a canvas, a piece of artwork that is intricately designed by Me. You will be able to watch daily as I add strokes to my artwork and include different colors, different people and different ideas. Please trust that I am the artist and you are the sculpture that I am molding. You and this undertaking are the artwork that I am designing without your effort. Please allow me to do My work. We will co-create many beautiful experiences that will come from this. It truly will be a masterpiece. Amen.

Lesson In Not Judging By Appearances

Robert: Yesterday I had a lesson in not judging by appearances. One of the realtors we contacted about listing the Pathways of Light property had an assistant drop off his proposal last week instead of presenting it himself. I interpreted that as meaning he wasn’t very interested. Yesterday he came for the first time to our Sunday service and brought his girl friend. It turned out that he didn’t bring his proposal himself because he had meetings he needed to attend and knew that we needed the proposal before our Advisory Council meeting on Saturday. He was being responsible to get us the information when we said we needed it.

During the service and talking together afterwards, a deepened connection happened. His girl friend came in carrying a Bible. Before she left, she bought A Course in Miracles and also took with her our Pathways of Light introduction to A Course in Miracles course 203. There was much heartfelt sharing about the desire of all four of us to follow Holy Spirit in all our doing. This experience once again reminded me not to judge anything on my own.

Holy Spirit:  We have said before that this move is simply an outer form, a symbol of Holy Spirit’s expression in the world. The symbols have no meaning in themselves. The Holy Spirit’s purpose for the move is that it is a means for teaching that there is no difference between us. Our interests are the same. We all in truth have one desire, one will, and that is to be and extend Love.

Through this moving process you will meet many people who are “new” to you. Remember to see your brother as Christ, because that is the truth in Him, as it is in you. In the dream each may appear to offer a particular piece in the process. But the value comes in practicing recognizing the truth in each one. It is the practice in recognizing the truth in yourself.

You wish you could see more clearly what is coming next. You wish you had more certainty about the decisions that are to be made on the journey. This uncertainty comes from the ego’s belief that safety comes with knowing what the form is. As has been said before, the form will appear of itself as you keep your mind clear and open to the Holy Spirit’s interpretation in every moment. This seems uncertain to you only because you have a long habit of believing that your certainty comes from illusions. You are in training now to place your trust in what cannot be seen or sensed by the body’s senses. You are being trained to place your trust in a strength that is far beyond what you have thought was worthy of your trust. Trust in the process. Keep practicing.

Mary: My biggest challenge right now is learning to trust in the midst of not knowing on so many fronts. Right now we do not know how this property will be sold or even if it will be sold. We do not know how we will be able to purchase property in Florida or the location. My biggest lesson right now is in being okay with not knowing. My biggest lesson right now is in staying relaxed with each new “event” that seems to be popping up in the moment. My biggest opportunity right now is to let go of thinking that I know what anything is for.

Holy Spirit: I told you that you are in a school. In school you get many lessons. You don’t already know the lessons or you would not be there in need of learning them. You are in the perfect place at the perfect time, getting your perfect lessons. The more you recognize this as you go through your day. you will naturally have a greater openness to what Holy Spirit is teaching you through each experience. You will be more willing to be the student and let Holy Spirit be the Teacher. “I will step back and let Him lead the way” is the foundation for each lesson.

Remember there is no “outer” world. The only real world is God’s World of Love. This is where you are being led, step by step. Let go of feeling a need to control anything. Step back and observe the dream forms that come and go, with Holy Spirit. Expand your willingness to be taught moment by moment. Remember the Holy Spirit is with you every moment. It may appear that Holy Spirit’s presence comes and goes, but that is only because your willingness comes and goes. Now is the time to pay attention to your level of willingness to be aware of Love’s Presence always. Stay relaxed. Step and listen, again and again and again. This will continue to bring you into a stronger connection with the Holy Spirit’s perspective and lead you out of dreams.

Sharyn: My personal concerns are where am I going? Where am I going to live? How can I leave my grandchildren and children and family? How am I going to afford the move? How can I leave a significant other of 14 years. My heart’s desire is to serve Spirit and follow Pathways of Light. But God, how can I do this?

Holy Spirit: As you were told in the beginning to just sit back and watch it all unfold, that is still the message for you. You are seeing some things unfold and learning many lessons as they do so. This is the purpose of all of this—to strengthen your connection to Me; to learn to come to Me more and more, not just once or twice a day, but once or twice an hour.

Sometimes, when you grow, you may seem to have growing pains. That is ego. I would never ask you to do anything that would cause you pain. When you feel sad, that is because you feel separate and alone. When you ask “what if and why and how?” those are all questions of the ego. You are to learn to come to Me, as you have been doing, more and more. Know that I will take care of everything. My Will for you is perfect happiness. You don’t know if you will go, or if anyone will go for that matter. You do not know why I am asking this in the first place. Believe me, you will know in time, and your happiness will be the gauge for you to know.

Things are not always as they seem according to your interpretations. Please allow Me to interpret everything for you. That does not mean it is always easy. Sometimes you will be asked to stretch. Sometimes I will ask for a little more willingness to follow Me. Please know that when you have the willingness to follow Me, only will good come from that. Every time you come to Me, you build a stronger foundation and a greater connection to your oneness with God. Please know that I am with you always and would never lead you astray. Please know that when things seem hard, I am your Comforter.

Sharing Our Daily Practice of Following Holy Spirit’s Lead

Robert and Mary:  This morning we feel led by the Holy Spirit to share more details of the questions and situations we are facing and asking Holy Spirit’s help with. We feel we are being led to share more than just the messages we receive from Holy Spirit. As we practice following Holy Spirit’s lead day by day, we will be sharing the questions and concerns that come up for us each day.

The guidance to move our offices to South Florida remains very clear. But we still do not know how this is to come about. We are trusting that Holy Spirit will guide us each step of the way, so we are moving forward a day at a time, doing our best to open to His lead.

Holy Spirit through Mary:  Remember you are in a school. You are in Holy Spirit’s school which leads you to waking up from the dream. You are being asked now to share more fully your daily practice of following Holy Spirit’s lead.

The Holy Spirit thinks directly opposite to the way the ego thinks. The ego wants to make the world seem real. That is its defense against the formless Love of God. Making the world of separate bodies real effectively hides the awareness of God’s universal Oneness. That is why the Course tells us so frequently to ask of everything, what is it for? The ego would make the move to Florida a way to reinforce the dream. To do this it would bring up a thousand fear thoughts that call for a constant flow of building defenses against perceived loss and a need to solve each problem on our own.

The Holy Spirit on the other hand knows that the move to Florida can be used as a means to wake up from the dream. It can be used to strengthen our connection with the Holy Spirit through an expanded level of communication. To make the move Holy Spirit’s way requires an even deeper commitment to consistently stay in touch with Holy Spirit’s guidance. It will strengthen your level of trust.

As you continue to follow Holy Spirit daily through this process, you will led to communicate more fully how He is leading you through every “problem.” This not only helps you in your awakening process, but will help many as they walk through this will you and practice following Holy Spirit’s lead themselves.

The Holy Spirit is leading you to a greater joining, a greater sense of “in to me see” with all your brothers who are choosing to wake up just like you are. As you communicate more in depth how this process of following Holy Spirit’s lead is working for you, you will be helping your brothers, and your brothers will be helping you by following Holy Spirit’s lead and sharing their process with you.

This move to Florida is really about a greater sharing, a school where the Holy Spirit is showing us all that we are one and that the same Holy Spirit is in every mind. This will become more evident as this greater sharing by all who are led to participate in this “school” continues. Right now in the dream script it looks like many are involved, but in reality the Holy Spirit will bring us all to the awareness that there is only one mind and we all share the same mind.

In this dream script, the story line goes that you are moving to Florida. But its purpose is to implement a greater joining to learn that we are one Self and there is no distance between us. As you continue on through this daily school joined with many others, you will all see that the Holy Spirit is leading everyone concerned to the fact that letting their minds be healed by the Holy Spirit is what everything is for. The outer circumstances will fall in place as we all expand our willingness to wake up from the dream.

Walking through this together will quicken your awakening and shorten the need for time. This greater joining in following Holy Spirit’s lead is leading us to the happy dream. It is leading us to a greater awareness of What we are and Where we are always. It is leading us Home.

Holy Spirit through Robert: The ego has a million questions because it is always trying to break things apart and analyze the pieces. This is one of its mechanisms for making separation seem real. So the ego provides you with a constant flow of questions, doubts and uncertainties. The good news is that there is a way to move past all this. Learn to keep a constant flow of handing over the questions, doubts and uncertainties to the Holy Spirit. Open your mind to His interpretation in each moment.

As you practice this, the flow of questions may continue but they become less disturbing and you are less inclined to attach to them. This practice leads to peace of mind. Some of the questions that come to your mind may need to be answered in the world of form. But with the practice of handing them over to the Holy Spirit for His guidance, the answers will always serve the highest good of all. They will always be answered in peace.

Other questions that occur to you may simply be ego diversions. The practice of taking all questions to the Holy Spirit will help you recognize and dismiss the diversions and also see the Holy Spirit’s answers to those that are part of expressing His plan in the dream. On your own, you cannot do this. But with the Holy Spirit, it will be a journey of healing, freedom, peace and happiness. It is worth the practice.

Allow Your Mind to Quiet

Holy Spirit through Mary:  Allow your mind to quiet. You have all these ideas floating around in your mind about how this move could be accomplished. You grab on to some of them in hopes that they will provide you some safety. You are asked now to just gently let them all go. Let them flow by without grabbing on to them. If you need to do so, ask for help in letting them go. Just open your mind to the idea that you are receiving help in a way that is perfect for you right now. Your willingness to receive Holy Spirit’s help is what allows it to come in to your experience.

Imagine all your inner doors and windows wide open to Holy Spirit’s help. Imagine that help in the form of Light. Watch as the Light enters your mind and very gently, all the false ideas that you were involved with disappear. What is left is the feeling of peace and gentleness and the knowing that everything is going to be all right. As you let in the Light of Truth, all your fears subside and you are left with a sense of well being and safety.

You rest a while in the eternal presence of Love. Fear of what may happen in the future gently disappears. You know you are in good hands and that in truth you are invulnerable. You cannot be anywhere but in Heaven. You let in the awareness that you are in Heaven now and that truth can never change. So it matters not what happens in the dream. The idea of loss is but an illusion. The idea of protecting what you have is but an illusion. Separate things are just images.

These images will come and go, but what is eternal never changes. And you are eternal. You can never change from the eternal Love you are. Let yourself soak in this remembering. Let it very gently heal all the parts that think it has to defend against loss. Let yourself remember that you can never lose What you are and Where you are in truth. Let the lessons that come with this move bring you to a place where you easily pass by those fears. Let this move strengthen your trust muscles. You are safe.

Dreams of separation are really nothing. Let the Holy Spirit bring you an awakening dream where you are led to the understanding that in reality you never left Home, you cannot leave Home. That is why you are safe. Give time to letting that sink in.

Holy Spirit through Robert:  The ego insists that you are weak, vulnerable and at risk of attack in every moment. It is always in a state of hyper alertness and readiness to defend. This is only natural because whatever belief you identify with you will see portrayed everywhere you look. The ego is the idea that attack is possible, that separation from God, our Source, is possible. The daily practice of turning all of your thoughts over to the Holy Spirit for His interpretation is the means for shifting your allegiance from the ego thought system to the Holy Spirit’s.

Since the Holy Spirit’s thought system is of unity and wholeness, it brings an innate sense of safety. Because the Holy Spirit teaches that you are one with your brother and with God, there is no other “out there” that could attack or harm you. So when you align your thinking with the Holy Spirit, deep peace is inevitable. When you are certain of your safety, you have no fear and you rest in ease. This is the gift that is given you in return for your gift of all your thoughts to the Holy Spirit.

In every moment you are choosing between the ego’s thought system of guilt and terror and the Holy Spirit’s thought system of innocence and peace. The choice is easy when recognized in its true simplicity. The choice only seems difficult because the images of the ego seem to be appealing and cleverly disguise the terror and guilt they hide.

That is why you need to practice giving all your thoughts to the Holy Spirit and opening your mind to His interpretation. He will gently lift the veil of these disguises and show you they have no substance. They are nothing. With the veil lifted, you see that all that ever is really there is Love. Love is What you are because Love is all there is. You can learn to recognize this. Let yourself be taught by the Teacher in your mind. Accept His gift and be free.
