Abide in the Present Moment

Mary:  In the middle of the night I found myself worrying about how some event might happen in the future. When I woke up early this morning, I took these thoughts to the Holy Spirit and received the following message:

“What if you realized after your ‘life’ was completed and you looked back on it, that you had two ways to live that life: You could have worried your way through it, judging each circumstance according to how you thought it should have gone or you could have trusted that the way each circumstance unfolded was the perfect way for you to learn the lessons you came to learn. You could have relaxed and gone with the flow of each circumstance, trusting that the Holy Spirit was with you to guide you to the truth

Now that you know that these are your two options, which way do you want to choose for the rest of your ‘life’?”

Mary:  Am I willing to let the veil be lifted? Am I willing right now to look at the world I am seeing through the body’s eyes with Holy Spirit? If I truly am willing, I will see the world differently. I will see past the illusion of time to the eternal truth that lies in everyone. As I go through each day, I do notice that this willingness does wobble. It seems to come and go, but I see that my lesson now is to let this willingness be more consistent.

There are still times when I “lose it” and the veil is definitely not lifted. It is at these times that my willingness is still weak. So today becomes another opportunity to step back again and again and, yet once again, simply to allow the Holy Spirit to do His job of lifting the veil that I had closed. What a wonderful opportunity I have today. I am worth the effort.

Holy Spirit to Dorie:  Seek nothing! Merely abide in the present moment. Allow My peace, My joy and Love to shine through all that surrounds you. Look within. My Spirit provides all you need.

Holy Spirit to Myron:  You wonder how to set those thoughts aside which want to intrude on the peaceful day you planned. Don’t allow your mind to become a battleground. That’s not the way to peace. Remember the vision of clouds floating through the sky. See those thoughts as clouds and just allow them to float on through. As you know, the thoughts will not disturb your peace unless you choose to believe them, to give them your attention.

Holy Spirit to Robert:  There is a place in you where changeless peace abides. It does not waiver, but remains your rock. It is What God created as You. All the changing forms, thoughts of fear and guilt are unknown in this place of peace, for in truth they do not exist.

Allow yourself to gently settle into this peace. Just let the distracting thoughts and images pass you by. They do not merit your attention. They are not what you want. You want this peace because it is You. It is the truth of you and no one can fail who seeks to find the truth.

Let Me Shine the Boulder Away

Holy Spirit to Mary:  You are receiving a lesson in where to place your trust. I watch you wobble back and forth. What would be helpful right now, when you notice fear about the future pop up in your mind, is first to notice it. Second, you need not keep it; hand it over. You will know that you are truly handing it over if the tension is replaced by the feeling of ease and peace. Peace then naturally flows through your mind once you have handed it over. It is just the fear thought that has been blocking the flow of peace that is inherently yours.

So this image might be helpful. See that fear thought as a boulder that is blocking the flow of peace. Notice that the blockage is there. Take that boulder, that fear thought, and see yourself giving it to me. You admit that you do not know on your own what to do with that boulder, but I do know what to do with it. I shine a Light on it and show you the nothingness that it is. Once that boulder has been shined away, you will naturally feel that flow of peace that innately is there.

Let yourself basque in the peace. Let it wash away anything that is not really yours. Continue this process through the day, noticing if another fear thought/boulder comes into view. Again, do the same thing. Hand it over and continue handing it over until you can feel what is inherently yours again. It is your job to hand it over. It is my job to shine it away, to show your its nothingness. You do your job and let me do my job. We work well together.

Holy Spirit to Myron:  You’ve learned to take a step back and to observe what’s happening in your life even as it is happening. This has been very helpful. It has helped take you out of the fear, even while you experience the fear. Continue to practice this and it will be even more helpful. You’ve noticed that there are many ways for you to approach surrender, many helpful tools which bring you to surrender, but that surrender is very simply a choice and that once you make that choice, it’s done.

Because you have stepped back, watching this process with some detachment from the situation, this is much clearer to you than ever before. All of the strain of surrender and pain that you felt as you tried to surrender was caused from not wanting to surrender. Once your desire was whole, surrender simply happened.

Don’t be confused by the form. One thing that you surrender is no different from another. It only seems so, because you have given more value to a particular form. In the end, when you wholly desire surrender, you simply open your hand and release that which has kept you imprisoned within your mind. Making one situation seem different from another is just an ego separation strategy. Look past what seems to be happening. A good way to do this is to ask Me for the purpose. Ask Me what this means and what is this for. That will take you past the form to what remains the same behind the form.

Holy Spirit to Robert:  Be mindful of your level of peace today. If you want to flow in the river of Love, you need to be in peace. Love and peace are always together, for one is an attribute of the other. As you maintain a state of peacefulness, the activity of the moment flows with ease. It is an expression in form of the formless Love you are.

Every moment can be Love’s expression to the world through you. You need only stay in peace. It does not matter whether that expression appears to go no further than your thought or just to a person you talk with. Any expression of Love is maximal and always touches all. This is very simple. There really is only one. The appearance of many does not matter. Go in peace today.

No Effort

Holy Spirit to Mary:  Let go of efforting. Relax. Let yourself be carried. Let your mind still. Let your mind be quiet.

Let peace fill your mind. Receive peace and extend peace. Remember this today and everything will fall into place without efforting.

Holy Spirit to Robert:  An ice skater with the wind at his back can glide on the ice with no effort. Glide today. Let the Wind of Love gently carry you without effort. Follow the flow. Decide nothing on your own. Just let yourself be carried.

All that is needed is your willingness to allow the Wind of Love to carry you. Peace will be your companion and Love will guide your vision. Allow yourself to be brought Home.

Listen to Your Voice Within

Holy Spirt to Mary: To receive inner guidance clearly, allow your mind to relax and soften. Just gently lay everything down. Let your mind quiet. Let your mind be still. In this stillness, you will find a presence of peace that had not noticed before. You will find a calmness, a welcoming feeling that is there. Let yourself follow this welcoming thought into a deeper level of inner calm and peace. Let yourself soak in Holy Spirit’s sea of peace. It is a wonderful gift to you to receive.

It is from this place of being in peace that you receive insight around the circumstances in your life that would be most helpful for everyone concerned. It is from this place of peace that you receive the inspiration to live a truly happy life. Let this practice of opening to the quiet place of inner peace be frequent in your life right now. It will bring you to a new awareness that changes life as you experience it. The Holy Spirit brings you to the truth. This is the happy dream.

Self to Annie:  Even though you have tried to hide the truth from yourself, it is in your heart/mind, whole and in tact forever. The truth is Love and Love is the truth. Just as Gary Renard expresses in the title of his upcoming book, Love has forgotten no one. Remember Love as you walk through your story of today. Let Love show you the beauty that is there in your own story.

Holy Spirit to Sharyn:  We all have choices. We all choose every minute of every day. It is the choices that we need to be aware of. Are we choosing peace or chaos? Are we choosing stress or are we choosing bliss? Are we blessing someone or are we judging? Are we listening to Holy Spirit or are we listening to ego? Are we taking time for our spirituality and finding out Who we really are or are we caught up in the world? These are all choices that you make most of the time not even being aware that you are.

It is now time to listen to your Voice within. It is now time to be the peace and Love that you truly are. It is now time to take responsibility for your own thoughts and realize if they are not made with Holy Spirit, they are not the truth of Who you really are. The truth is you are all Love and nothing else. The truth is you deserve peace, happiness and joy. It is yours just for the asking. Remember to ask.

Holy Spirit to Robert:  Judgment blocks awareness of Love. Forgiveness, or letting go of the past, clears away the block and makes way for the return to Love. In every moment you choose between judgment and forgiveness, hanging on to the past or letting now be as it is. Now is always Love. It is the only aspect of time that is eternal. Let this day be a practice of being open to NOW without the past. Let God take care of the future. He knows what to do with it. Release the past; it is not here. Now is Love, peace and happiness.

Gale: I had a vision that I’ve had several times. I had a feeling of freedom and lightness and flowing, like a very safe place and I end up in the sky with the stars. I end up being one of those stars. Each time I go there, my star is getting brighter and brighter. I have more of a sensation of peace, calmness and Love and knowing where my true direction is going.

Be Guided by the Light

Holy Spirit to Mary:  Solo la Luz (only the Light). Step back and let yourself be guided by the Light within. Relax and let yourself be carried. This is great time management that really works. The ego will guard against this, but I tell you it is true. Relax and listen first. And then let your actions stem from this. This is how to have a truly inspired day.

Self to Annie: You can always count on a miracle when you are willing to hand over the thoughts that make you suffer. A miracle is an undoing so it will always free your mind from the thoughts that you have made up. You no longer will have to be a prisoner of your own mind when you let the ray of Light of the miracle come in and shine your thoughts away.

This time, as you know, it is perfect for letting the Light of the miracle bless you. It will bless many minds as you accept it into yours. Be grateful for this awesome possibility. Be grateful for the gift of miracles.

Holy Spirit to Robert:  (I see an image of perfectly calm water, reflecting what is above.) You can experience the reflection of Heaven in the world. To do this you must choose peace, just as disturbing the water makes the reflection unrecognizable, lack of peace makes the presence of Love unrecognizable. Choose peace, dear brother, and allow yourself to experience the reflection of Heaven here.

Holy Spirit to Sharyn:  Allow yourself to be carried today. As you walk through your day holding Jesus’ hand, know that everything is perfect. I will go before you making sure there are no stones to trip on. Worry not, for I am with you always.

Love Is the Answer

Holy Spirit to Robert:  You habitually place your trust in the untrustworthy. You believe what you perceive through the body’s eyes, what the body feels and hears. Yet this is self-deception. The body is an illusion and an illusion can only “see” illusion. Now you are practicing breaking the habit. A habit can be broken with a single thought, but as long as you see value in the habit, you are tempted to revert to the old habit. And so you must be taught that the old habit has no value for you.

The good news is that you are teachable. The very fact that you have taught yourself to trust an illusion is a demonstration that you can learn. Your practice of diligently bringing all your perceptions to the Holy Spirit for His interpretation allows the Holy Spirit to teach you where true value lies. It is not in the True Value Hardware store. It is in the true value Heaven of God. The reward that is yours for your diligence and willingness to learn is Heaven. It is worth it.

Self to Annie:  The call to follow Spirit is a call to live in your heart. Who You Are knows what that means, so it needs no explanation. Be there. Stay there. Live there. And all your choices will come from the Light.

Holy Spirit to Mary:  Let go of the reins. You did not create yourself. Let yourself be carried. Make no decisions on your own. Hand your idea of being a separate person with a separate mind over to the Holy Spirit. There is no separate self that is different from God. Thinking this is the authority problem. In truth you cannot author yourself. As a separate person you are nowhere and nothing. But as God’s eternal Light, you have all and are one with all.

Step back again and again today and remember one more time that you know nothing on your own. All the lessons that you have learned through the ego are invalid and mean nothing. They are wrong. Come with empty hands and an open heart. Be still and listen. Let peace replace your belief in the conflict that arises from belief in separation. Let peace fill your mind. Let yourself be carried to the truth through peace.

Jesus to Sharyn: Today as we walk along the journey holding hands, let’s remember the oneness with our Father. Let’s remember that as we walk together on our path Home, only oneness is real. The oneness of God is filled with nothing but Love. Anything else is not oneness.

Today as we walk together in oneness, let us extend the Love we are to everyone we see or think of. In every situation, only Love is the Answer. Sometimes what is loving according to God may not what you think loving is. Therefore it is important to be aware of My presence and holding My Hand throughout your day, every hour, every minute, every second.

Step Back and Listen

Holy Spirit to Mary: Put everything that concerns you in God’s Hands. That is where it belongs. If you find yourself taking it out of God’s Hands and trying to figure it out on your own, you have forgotten Who you are and Where you are.

This forgetting can cause great distress if you allow it. This is why you are learning the practice of stepping back and listening. You are seeing why this is so important. This is why you need to apply your learning to every situation, not just some. Learning the lesson of stepping back brings you peace and the peace of God is all you really want.

Holy Spirit to Robert: There is a place in you that is perfectly calm all the time. Nothing can disturb its peace. In this place there is no perception of “others.” There is only the knowing of unity and the joy of the free receiving and giving of Love. This is your Self. It is ever present in you.

It seems to be within because it has been overlaid with false images of separation. As you forgive or let go of these images, you will experience this place as What you are. This is the gift that is yours to know. It becomes your experience through your forgiveness.

Be mindful today of what you feel in each moment. If it is not perfectly calm, with a quiet joy, then offer your perception to Me. I will shine the Light of Love on it to clear away the false image and return it to you bright and clean. Let all your doing today serve this purpose.
