Which Guest Would You Invite Today?

Holy Spirit to Mary: Be gentle with yourself and be gentle with others, for nothing has really happened that could ever change God’s one Son. Patience comes easily when you remember What is eternally real. See past the ego to the Holy Spirit in every brother, because only This is real.

Watch for when you are believing in what is not real. Watch for when you are making the error real. Does this make you happy? If not, then maybe you are willing to let it go.

Let Me order your thoughts. Let Me bring you the truth. In order to do this, you must make space for Me in your mind for I will not go where I have not been invited. Which guest do you want to join with today, Me or the ego? You will tell which guest you have invited by how you feel. I bring peace and the ego brings stress and fear. Which do you choose today?

Holy Spirit to Robert:  You try to make up stories about what the future will bring, but you have no meaningful basis for the stories you make up. At best you try to use what you learned in the past to write a script of the future. This is simply unforgiveness. To know the deep peace, quiet joy and eternal Love that is already given you, you must fully let go of the past. You must forgive. Without the past your mind is clear and open to receive the glorious Present.

Concern about anything is an unforgiving thought. Bring it to Me and let Me show you the changelessness that lies beyond the veil of unforgiveness. Let no disturbances dwell in your holy mind. Give them all to Me and I will shine the Light of Love upon them to reveal the truth beyond the illusion. I am not fooled by made up images. Let Me lead you past them to the safety of your Home.

Standing in the Circle of Light

Robert:  I had an image of standing in the Circle of Light. The Circle was singing the opening lines of the Beetles song, “I love you, yeah, yeah, yeah…” I stood there soaking in that Love. God is always singing this to us. His Love is eternal and is never withheld. To rest in the comfort of His Love, I need only accept It.

This world is the effect of denying this Love. But I don’t have to believe it any more. Forgiveness is the means to let go of the denial. By letting go of the past, I open my heart and mind to the experience of God’s present Love. With the help of the Holy Spirit in my mind I can see through the past to the brilliant Light of Love that is now. I am willing to let Holy Spirit guide my seeing.

Holy Spirit to Mary: Let your heart and mind be a receptacle for God’s peace. Let yourself feel it fully. Let peace fill you up and overflow as you extend it to all. Let yourself remain in that place of receiving God’s Gift of peace and extending God’s Gift of peace. Receive the Gift and extend the Gift. Let this be your practice today. Peace and understanding go together and are never found alone.

Live in the Stillness

Holy Spirit to Sharyn: As you accept the gift of peace more and more, you will realize there are less and less words. You will have no need to think you have to have something to say to contribute to a conversation. You become more of an observer. Rejoice when you get the feeling there is no need to talk or communicate. Living in the stillness and quiet allows you to hear My gentle voice more and more, remembering you have nothing to prove, nothing to say.

Just accept. Accepting what is allows you a greater feeling than you have felt before. Accept the freedom. Accept the Love that is just waiting for you and accept the stillness. Loving what Is is so very, very important. Not trying to change, configure, or think you need to say something to be important is also very important. Accept the Love that surrounds you. Accept His Gift that is so patiently waiting for you. Today, say yes to God. Yes, I will accept your Gift. Amen.

Holy Spirit to Dorie:  This applies to actions as well as words: You need do nothing. Allowing Spirit to guide means waiting, not striving, listening, not speaking. This is essential for your peace in each day. Know only Love and you will have only peace.

Holy Spirit to Mary:  Today, focus on allowing yourself to be carried. Allow times of quiet, allow times of listening to your inner teacher. Allow time to let peace lead the way. Just follow how peace leads you. This is all you need to have a happy day.

Holy Spirit to Robert:  There is no journey but to walk with Me. As you walk with Me, we share the single purpose given us by Love. While it appears to you that you are in the world, the purpose of Love is reflected as forgiveness. Love is now, it knows no past or future. Unforgiveness is an attempt to bring the past to the present. To express the purpose that Love has given you, you must release the past, or forgive. Today remember our shared journey in the present. As we walk together, the past fades away and the Light of Love is all you see.

There Is Only Oneness in the Light

Jesus to Robert:  There is nothing which separates you from me. You think of me as one who once had a body that walked the earth. That does not matter. I am no more a body than you are. Because we are not bodies there is nothing which separates us. I am with you always as your loving brother, because I am in you and you are in me. I represent everyone. I am no different than the orphans picking through garbage in India. I am no different than the ayatollah in Iran.

What is the same is the Love we are. The image of a body does not matter. Therefore what the image of a body appears to do does not matter. Accept me and thereby accept all into the Love in your heart. This is how you accept your Self. We walk together, for it is impossible to be alone. Walk through this day in the joy of remembering your brothers as your Self.

Holy Spirit to Dorie:  Although it may seem very different to you, there is just one choice, the choice for Love. In Love you find all healing. There are not many problems, just many manifestations of one problem. You need not dash around holding on to problems looking for a multitude of solutions. There is only one solution and, in reality, there never was a problem. When you choose Love, you have chosen the solution to all the world’s problems.

Holy Spirit to Mary: Today be willing to look at your barriers to Love. Be willing to look at your attraction to the ego’s stories — the stories of bodies and differences and individuality. Look at your stories of specialness that quite effectively hide the truth from you. Look at these stories with Me. I will show you that all these stories are not true. These are your barriers to knowing Love’s Presence, for Love is One and could never be separate or different. As we look at these barriers to Love together today, you will see that you do not want them, for they are helpful to no one. Let us return to the truth together and remember once again that only oneness could ever be real.

Self to Annie:  Align your questions to the Answer and the Light that comes through is the Light that has always been there. Align your doubts with the Answer and the same Light will come through. The Answer is always available. The Light has never left you. There will come a time when you will not need to question, and there will always and only be Light.

Holy Spirit to Sharyn:  The Light of God is shining in you now literally means now and always. It has never been other than that. Allow yourself to feel that Light. Feel the warmth, the calmness and serenity. See that Light penetrating every cell of your being until you realize that there is only Light, nothing else. Allow this Light to take over your mind. It will shine away any dark thoughts. It will certainly shine away thoughts of lack, insecurity, frustration or not knowing. You need not know anything other than the fact that you are Light. Extend your Light to everyone you see today and bless them, no matter what you think you are seeing with the body’s eyes. The fact is that the body’s eyes cannot see the Light. Your true Self can see. Accept the Light.

Allow the Holy Spirit to Be My Interpreter

Mary:  Holy Spirit, right now I accept the river of peace that flows through everyone and myself. I will know that I am truly accepting the truth when I feel it. When I accept peace, it softens my belief in the world. Accepting peace clears the fog in my mind that makes illusions appear to be real. Right now my job is to accept peace and the clarity of mind I need will be there. Health is inner peace.

Holy Spirit to Robert:  Trying to make decisions on your own is very tiring. The belief in being on your own denies your Source of strength and power. It is a belief in littleness. The practice of looking at all circumstances and situations with the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to be your interpreter, leads you to the experience of your real strength and power. It leads you to the experience of your union with your Source. Thus every decision throughout the day is an opportunity to strengthen your awareness of your Source. You do this by joining with the Holy Spirit in all decisions. Let this be your practice today.

Annie: I find this quote to be very helpful: “Sickness is a defense against the truth. I will accept the truth of what I am, and let my mind be wholly healed today.” (ACIM W-p1.136.15:6-7, p. 259)

Jesus to Sharyn:  Serving our Father means simply serving one’s Self. Healing your own mind is of utmost importance. Do not concentrate on helping others heal theirs or showing another a different way or wanting them to see things differently. That is not true healing. True healing is healing your own mind first, allowing God to enter the thoughts that were mistaken. Being humble and not judging those thoughts is very important. Giving them to Holy Spirit for healing is the next step. And knowing that the healing has taken place already is the last step.

You cannot do the work without looking at your own thoughts with Holy Spirit first. An examination of what your mind is really believing is of utmost importance. Not judging what you see as good or bad is also most important. Then gently giving it to Holy Spirit for healing is a step toward oneness. Know Thyself first. Loving God is loving Thyself.

See the Light in Your Brother

Holy Spirit to Mary:  You can tell how willing you are to wake up by how often you let the veil be lifted to see the face of Christ in every brother. If you insist on focusing on your brother’s story, you are refusing to wake up. Then your story becomes very real to you.

There is a better way that heals you and your brother at the same time. Forgive, or see past each brother’s body, each brother’s story, to the Christ in him. Let the face of Christ show you what he is. Allow yourself to see the bright Light that extends from every brother, no matter what he thinks is real. This is how you awaken. You see the truth or you see illusions. It is either one or the other. Focusing on illusions is ultimately depressing. It is the dream of fear, whether you recognize it or not. But as you choose once again, you see the Holy Spirit in him. It is the Holy Spirit That will guide you in waking up from the dream. Let this be your practice today and see how happy and full of peace your day is.

Dorie: As I awake from dreams of darkness filled with fear, I rejoice to see only Light in the eyes of my brothers and within myself. I see only the Light of Love, as Spirit inhabits my mind. Again I rejoice, for a Mind clear, full of joy and Love—eternal Spirit.

Holy Spirit to Robert:  The world you see is simply a story. Within that story is another and another and another. Layer upon layer of stories have clouded your awareness, so that you think the stories are real and you are victim of the stories. You have forgotten that the stories are not real.

You can remember, because within your mind God placed the loving Reminder. It reminds you of your Self. It reminds you of the Love you are. Focus your attention on this Reminder. It will guide you back to your Home in Love. It will show you the loving truth behind all the stories. Its Light will shine away the darkness of stories of fear and guilt. Let Love be your Guide today.

Be Love

Holy Spirit to Myron: Myron, set aside all barriers that you place between yourself and your brother. Listen, not with your ears but with the Heart. From the Heart you will hear only the truth. Don’t be fooled by the form the words seem to take. When you hear something that seems not to be the truth, return your attention to your mind and ask Me what needs to be healed within your own mind, not within theirs.

Think how many times you have thought that you were right and think of those times when you brought that to me and I showed you how to hear that differently. Your faith in your brother is your faith in yourself and is your faith in Me. Thank you for your willingness. I love you.

Holy Spirit to Robert:  Rest in Love. Only in Love is rest possible. It is the attempt to have or be something other than Love that is wearying. Rest in Love. It is your Home. It is not only your initial resting place, it is your final resting place. There is no other place to find rest.

Let yourself be the Love that you are. When you do this you will automatically see only Love and extend only Love. All your brothers are recognized as your Friend. There is no conflict. There is no guilt nor fear. Rest in Love today.

Holy Spirit to Dorie:  Remember to be only Love. Seek peace and hold fast to knowledge that all Sons and Daughters of God are equal. Always hold Spirit deep inside. You need only look to see the truth within. Remember this: Healing takes only a holy instant; not five years, not ten years. Healing does not come from book knowledge, but from the inner Wisdom that only I can convey. Remember this and love all the Sonship.

Holy Spirit to Mary:  Your job is to be still and listen. From this stillness flows everything that you need to know. Give time to this. When you come with empty hands and an open heart, you come to the truth. That truth is within you, not outside you. Let this be your guide today. Here is where your peace lies and with peace always comes the understanding that you seek.
