Accepting Holy Spirit’s Help

Robert:
Now that we have completed the moving of all of our equipment and furnishings from St. Cloud to Sanford, Florida, we have the opportunity to practice staying in the present moment as we unpack and find places for the many little things that we use in our daily activity. Like everything else in this world, if I am willing to let the Holy Spirit guide, He will use each circumstance on behalf of demonstrating what’s valuable and what’s valueless, what’s helpful and what does not serve.

What’s important is that I make no decisions on my own. This is a training opportunity in which I can accept Holy Spirit’s lessons in awakening or turn my back and do it alone. When I try to do it alone, I simply reinforce the sense of separation and isolation that comes with the ego thought system. Very quickly the process of something as simple as unpacking boxes becomes stressful.

Thinking I need to make decisions on my own will always bring stress with it, because it is attempting to maintain the unnatural state of seeming to be separate from God. This is not what I want. I choose instead to hold Holy Spirit’s hand in all my doing and let Him use each moment as a lesson in awakening. I am deeply grateful to know that I have this choice and I choose it now.

Mary:
We have had so much activity lately that it is nice to have time to be quiet… God is found in stillness. Allowing time for stillness and letting my mind quiet of all worldly activities is very important for me to be truly helpful in this world. Giving time for receiving God’s infinite peace is very important…

In this place of inner quiet, the veil is lifted and God’s gift of peace is received and extended. God’s gift of inner happiness and sense of well being is received and extended to all…

There is a world beyond this world that we all belong to… It is our Home… Giving time to accepting the real world that the Holy Spirit brings has great value and I am willing to accept it now… It is only as I am willing to receive the truth that I can extend the truth… This is my job today. This is how I help myself and every brother.

Accept the Light That You Are

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Rest in God where He would have you be…  Melt into God’s peace…

Accept the Light that you are… Accept the truth about the Light every brother is in truth… Rest in the truth today…

Robert:
A Course in Miracles tells us, “Leave, then, your needs to Him. He will supply them with no emphasis at all upon them. What comes to you of Him comes safely, for He will insure it never can become a dark spot, hidden in your mind and kept to hurt you. Under His guidance you will travel light and journey lightly, for His sight is ever on the journey’s end, which is His goal.” (T-13.13:1-4)

Mary and I have completed our move from St. Cloud, Florida to Sanford, Florida, about 25 miles north of Orlando. (The Pathways of Light business office remains in Kiel, Wisconsin.) There are still many boxes to unpack but it is a good feeling to remember that as we follow the Holy Spirit, all our needs are met. When we let the Holy Spirit be our guide, we do not carry excess baggage so we journey lightly.

We are moving on to another chapter in our journey of awakening. No matter what it looks like in form, there is only one goal — to remember the Love we are and to see it everywhere. The process of this move has been delightfully seasoned with many blessings through connections with helpful people and the gentle unfolding of events as we follow Holy Spirit’s lead. The more we remember that the only value of any form in the world is how it serves the Holy Spirit’s purpose, the more we travel light. In truth, the Light of God is our own.

Today as I focus on following Holy Spirit’s lead, whether I am unpacking a box, setting up equipment or on the phone, I will journey lightly and remember that I am eternally safe in God’s Love.

Walk with Me in Peace

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Walk with Me today. When you join with Me, our journey is gentle and flows with ease. The ground beneath our feet is cushioned with the soft moss of peace. The way ahead is lit with the Light of Love. No shadows cross our path, for together, we look only upon the real.

I see the images you see. But, knowing they are not real, they do not distract Me nor disturb My peace. When you join with Me, you share that vision. As we walk together, we show the way for all our brothers that brings us Home go Love. Walk Home to Love with Me today and share the blessing.

Holy Spirit to Mary:
See yourself as under a waterfall of peace and Light today… Let this picture return to your mind again and again as you go through your day.

You are being showered with the peace and Light of God all through the day… Let yourself become aware of this truth and be willing to receive the blessings that are being showered on you… Let that picture of being under a shower of Light and peace help you remember all the help you have through the day… Pay attention to receiving the gifts that are constantly being given you…

We are one Light. There is no distance between us.

True Helpfulness

True Helpfulness
Holy Spirit to Robert:
True helpfulness occurs when there is a recognition that another’s interests are the same as yours. This is another way of saying that at the heart level, you share one Self. The form in which this helpfulness is expressed in the world/dream of form can vary widely. The form does not matter. The content of shared unity is all that matters. This content is Love.

The circumstances in Haiti have awakened a spirit of helpfulness world-wide. This apparent tragedy is simultaneously serving as a magnificent awakening that can help move the world toward a greater recognition of our shared Identity. This situation brings an opportunity for everyone who sees himself as an individual to look past individual forms and see the Love that is shared by all.

This is really your calling in every moment. It matters not whether it appears in a form of someone asking to wash your car windows in exchange for a meal or a country needing help because of a devastating earthquake or a friend asking for help with their problem, your function is to see past the form to the innocent, eternal Love that is ever present. Let Me guide your vision today and this is what you will see.

Holy Spirit to Mary:
If you wish today to be easy and simple and full of peace and joy, practice this one thing: Step back and listen, again and again and again. Open your inner hearing to My inspiration in the moment. Let today be a day of following and not deciding anything on your own. Accept My peace and extend My peace.

United in Love

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Remember that your job is to let yourself be guided today. Let go of the past and the future. Let yourself be guided in the present moment.

Let yourself remember that God’s Son is one, united with his Creator. Let yourself remember that there are not separate selves — only one Self united as on in God’s Love. Let your mind be filled with this truth today. Rest in God’s united Love. This makes it a smooth and happy day.

Holy Spirit to Robert:
In the world there is the appearance of an event of great destruction, death, pain, suffering and loss. It is yet another form of the ego thought system that denies the unity of Love and eternal Life. It is another form of a call for Love that is inevitable in the ego thought system that denies Love. The truth in you has but one response — to offer Love.

In the world of form this eternal Love may be expressed in form so it can be accepted. Around the world the call for Love has been recognized and many are responding with offerings of Love in many forms. As in all things, the Holy Spirit can use this appearance of loss on behalf of recognizing the Love you share.

As you join with the Holy Spirit in your mind you are guided to be truly helpful. You are guided as to the form within the dream that is most helpful. The key in all things is that Love is your motivation and inspiration. Love does not see death. Love does not see destruction and separation. Love sees only Itself and recognizes when there is a call to remember Love. Let today be a day of letting Love guide all your doing.

Space for Quietness

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Today allow the space for quietness. Allow room in your mind for quietness. Listen to the Light. Let your focus be on being receptive to your true Nature. Listen, and be open to receive.

Let yourself remember that in quietness is every problem quietly resolved. Return again and again and again to quiet listening. Invite the Light of peace into your mind and give it a home. Make room for peace. Let peace lead you all through the day.

Holy Spirit to Robert:
See only innocence today. Remember that everyone is doing the best they can according to what they believe they are. And everyone includes you. This means that judgment is never justified. Rather, as you remember to see the innocence of Love that is the truth in everyone, you teach yourself and the world to overlook false images and see the reality of Love.

This is how the world is undone and you return your holy mind to your Home in Heaven. This is not a trivial exercise. This practice will bring you freedom from the world of fear, pain and death. It will bring you perfect happiness and the peace of God.

God Is But Love and Therefore So Am I

Robert:
One of the most frequently repeated statements in A Course in Miracles is: “God is but Love, and therefore so am I.” The full acceptance of this as true and nothing else as true would bring the end of illusion and the return Home to Heaven.

As I look at another through the body’s eyes, I can affirm, “God is but Love and therefore so are you.” This can help me remember the truth about my brother and myself. It is seeing the one Self we share. In truth there is no other to call “you.” But while I think I am in this world looking out through the body’s eyes, remembering that God is but Love and therefore so are you helps me step back from identifying anyone as a body or an image.

This statement, fully accepted, offers complete release from the illusionary world of separation. Only Love is real. That is why God is in everything I see. What the body’s eyes show me is not real. But the reality of Love is always there whether or not I distract myself with false images.

Today I will carry with me the thought, “God is but Love and therefore so am I.” As I apply this thought to everyone and every circumstance, I release myself to the freedom of Heaven. I clear the way to receive God’s peace. I give thanks.

Mary:
Because I am still as God created me, I rest in God today. I cannot be in truth anywhere else but in God. I remember this about myself when I remember it about every brother. Everyone rests in God eternally. Remembering this is my practice today.
