Come Often to Me

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Let go and let God… This means relax your hold on the body. Let your mind be quiet… Be open to receive God’s peace which automatically melts away any sense anxiety or fear… Just focus on allowing My gift of peace into your awareness… It has always been there but your barriers have not allowed you to be aware of it. Hand over everything; keep nothing… Relax into My gentle healing touch… Let go… Hand the reins over to Me…

Rest in My Love… Rest in my peace… Let everything melt away that is not of Me… Let your mind still… Let yourself be carried to an even deeper level of peace and quiet…

Know that this inner journey is safe and brings you only happiness… Rest in this inner quiet… You are being led from time into the eternal Present, the holy instant… Here the world falls away… Here you find the rest I bring, your inner Comforter…

Come often to Me and I will give you rest from the turmoil of the world… Here you are brought to an experience that is beyond words…

Holy Spirit to Robert:
If you want to have a happy day, do just one thing: Follow Me. My only purpose is to bring you God’s gift of perfect happiness. The gift is already yours. I am here to help you remove the barriers that shield it from your awareness. Step back in each moment today. Let My peace flow through you. Let My Love guide your vision.

Thus will you learn to see as I see and recognize your Self. You will see your Self in everyone as you allow My vision to be your guide in every moment. In your Self is the joy of God. Let Me lead you Home in each moment today. Together we will have a happy day.

God Is the Strength in Which I Trust

Mary:
This morning as I go to Spirit, the first thought that comes to me is, “God is the strength in which I trust” (from A Course in Miracles). This helped straighten my mind because before I was finding myself thinking about all the details of moving, including where to put the trash can in the small kitchen that we are moving to.

God is the strength in which I trust reminds me once again to take all things to Him instead of trying to figure things out on my own. This is my practice today: Letting “God is the strength in which I trust” be my response to every worldly concern the ego mind comes up with. As I say, “God is the strength in which I trust,” repeatedly there comes with it a feeling of softness, a feeling of gentleness, a feeling of inner comfort. “God is the strength in which I trust” brings with a feeling of peace and quiet that stills the ego’s constant chatter.

I have an important job to do today and that is to place my trust in God instead of the ego’s problem-solving schemes. I just have one thing to remember today, again and again: “God is the strength in which I trust.”

Robert:
Today we read A Course in Miracles Workbook lesson 152, “The power of decision is my own.” This lesson makes it explicitly clear that everything I experience in the world is the effect of my decision. To the ego this is a radical thought that brings up fear because the ego equates responsibility with guilt. But ACIM makes it clear that the perception of separation in any form is not cause for guilt, but simply an indication of a need for correction. It also makes it clear that correction is not punishment but a change of mind.

We each carry in our minds the great Corrector, the Holy Spirit, that is ready and willing to offer us the correction we need. We need only be willing to bring our thoughts and beliefs to the great Corrector to receive the clear vision that shows us the truth and shines away the false. I am grateful that, no matter how many times I revert back to making decisions on my own, the Holy Spirit patiently waits for my willingness to let Him decide on my behalf. His decisions are always loving and always lead me toward the full recognition of the Self that I am, along with all my brothers.

Today is another gift, an opportunity to practice following Holy Spirit’s lead. With this practice I will learn to see a world forgiven, a world that reflects the changeless Love of God.

Hand Over All Disturbances

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Relax deeply… let everything fall away… behind all the stories of the world is the one Light, the one Love that is eternally real… Let yourself identify with this limitless Light, this limitless Love…

Be with It… Allow yourself to feel Its peace… Hand over everything that comes up for healing to this peaceful Light… Let It melt away all sense of tension, all sense of worry, all sense of time… Be with It… Take all your illusions to It to be undone…

Know that this is the real you, your true Self. Soak and rest in Its healing Light… Be as a little child and receive Its guidance, Its correction of your perceptions…

Notice if you are holding on to anything and, once you notice it, hand it over to the One Who knows what to do with it…

Welcome the Light of truth, of your beingness as changeless Love, as changeless peace… Give yourself over to Its healing Light… Focus only on this. Listen and receive…

Give thanks…  Repeat this often during your day.

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Remember that only Love is real. If you perceive anything but Love, you are perceiving a false image that is not really there. Since nothing but Love is there, the perception of something else must be coming from your mind. It is a reflection of a mistaken belief of what you are. Nothing more. Nothing less. This means that you have the power to change what you perceive. Change the cause, the belief, and your perception will change.

The Holy Spirit is God’s gift to you who believe you are not His Son. This Gift is given you to provide the means to change your belief. Having made the belief and identified with it, you cannot change it on your own. Bring all your perceptions to the Holy Spirit. His gentle correction will help you change the belief behind the perception and the false perceptions will quietly fade away into the nothingness from which they came.

Be vigilant for peace today. Bring any and every disturbance to the Holy Spirit for His gentle correction. Thus will you clear away to full remembrance of What and Where you are.

Being a Carrier of Peace

Robert:
It’s been a little over two years since we were guided to move the Pathways of Light Center to Florida. At this moment the original property in Kiel, Wisconsin, is still for sale and Mary and I are still living in a rented home in Florida while we wait for Holy Spirit’s plan to unfold. In retrospect I can see how the process has been carefully orchestrated by the Holy Spirit.

There have been times when impatience and frustration have been in my mind. But this only comes up when I am invested in my own plan and I want Holy Spirit to shape up and make it happen. That is the opposite of what this is for. In the Holy Spirit’s hands, all events and circumstances are teaching opportunities to fulfill His singular purpose: To help us remember that we were created as Love and nothing else. As this lesson is learned, the awareness that all my needs are met because Love is complete becomes clearer and clearer.

My job is to learn to stop relying on the limited perception of the body and the consequent inevitably mistaken interpretations that I attempt to make with such limited information. If I want peace, I need to let go of all my interpretations and let the Holy Spirit interpret on my behalf. This year has been a magnificent opportunity to practice stepping back and following Holy Spirit’s lead.

I can tell I am better at doing this than I was a year ago because my peace is disturbed less often; I am quicker to release disturbances and return to peace. My resolution for the coming year is to continue this practice. I want nothing but the peace of God. I want nothing but to serve the Holy Spirit’s plan to bring this peace wherever I go and in whatever I think. It is my desire to be a carrier of peace.

Mary:
Here in this world of separate bodies, we are starting a new year. As I go to the Holy Spirit, I am reminded that only eternity is real. I am reminded that what is eternal is changeless and always true.

I am very gently and quietly invited to open my mind to the awareness of the eternal truth. This is where my only true Home resides. I am invited to let the veil of time be lifted and here I feel the peace of the Holy Spirit, my inner Guide. I am encouraged to follow this Guidance every day until I no longer believe in any differences. As I let my belief in differences go, I see that everything is eternally the same. The Christ Spirit that is everywhere never changes.

My job now is to let all my false beliefs in time and differences be undone by the one Self that we all share. I am gently encouraged by my inner Comforter that I can let go of belief in differences. I can be taught as I more consistently remember that I do not know what anything that I see with my body’s eyes means.

As I become more open minded, the false beliefs in bodies and separation from oneness are undone. This is my job this year and every year until I fully realize there is no time with shifts and changes. There is only the eternal present. Here I find peace. Here is my service to the awakening because I am joined with every brother as one mind. We are one Light. There is no distance between us. And I am thankful that this is so.
