Accept Happiness

Mary:
Laughter is easy when the world is not taken too seriously. The world of separate bodies is just a projection and could never be true.

Today we are in the process of moving. I can use this process as a symbol of moving from believing in separation to the awareness that only oneness is real. Today is a day of accepting the inner happiness that the Holy Spirit brings. Today is a day of song and laughter. What a happy day joined with Holy Spirit’s purpose!

Robert:
The less attached I am to things, circumstances and events, the happier I am. Things, circumstances and events are all images that reflect belief in separation. Love is not an image. It is formless, eternal and everywhere. Love is all I really want. Love is not selective, but all inclusive.

It is not a sacrifice to let go of attachment to things and circumstances. It is release that makes way for the return to Love. There is nothing more I really desire than to be the Love I was created to be. I have made up false desires that interfere with experiencing what I really want. It is these false desires, idle wishes, that I want to let go. This is forgiveness. Through forgiveness I accept God’s gift. Through forgiveness I accept peace. Through forgiveness I accept happiness. “Let go and let God” can be restated as “forgive and be happy.”

Today I will practice walking with Holy Spirit and sharing His perception. Thus will I learn to look past appearances and experience the happiness that God holds for me.

Peace Beyond This World

Robert:
Saying “I want the peace of God” is the same as saying “I want to be my Self.” This Self remains as It was created, sharing all the attributes of God. There is not one in the world who does not feel a yearning deep in their heart to rejoin with this Self. It is the basis for all attempts to find happiness in this world. When we are following the ego, our attempts to find happiness are misdirected to look to form to make us happy. The ego is oblivious to real content, which is Love. It only “trusts” in form, which is the ego’s mechanism for making separation appear real.

But the underlying motivation to seek is still the desire to return Home. We need only to learn where to look to find it. By the grace of God, we have within our minds the Teacher Who provides us kind and gentle lessons in every moment that lead us to where we truly want to be. We need only be willing to accept His lessons.

Today I dedicate to holding an open mind and heart to be shown the Love behind all appearances. Thus will I remember my Self.

Mary:
As I go to the quiet place in my mind this morning, I am reminded that the world I see is a projection that is coming from my mind. I am gently reminded to look at the world with the Holy Spirit. I am reminded to let the veil be lifted so that I can feel the Love that is behind all physical form. Love’s Presence, Which lies beyond all physical form, is the strength in which I trust. This is where my safety lies. This is where I truly reside.

Today I have the opportunity to open up to the peace that lies beyond this world. I have an opportunity to rest in God’s peace while still taking care of my daily chores. My constant Companion will show me the truth if I will allow it today. This is my practice today, and I give thanks for this opportunity to let the truth return to my mind.

There Is No Love but God’s

Robert:
There is no Love but God’s. This thought brings me comfort and joy and gratitude. Since God is everywhere I know that His Love is always with me. I walk with Love in every moment. Since God is one and formless, I do not need to look for any form for comfort or for assurance that I am loved. I need only look within for the Love that is the Self I share with all.

Like God, that Love is everywhere. It is there to be recognized in everyone and everything. But I will not recognize the Love if I confuse images and forms with formless Love. If I am willing to abandon my own attempts to interpret anything and let the Holy Spirit be my interpreter, He will teach me to look beyond all images and recognize the Love. He will teach me that God is in everything I see by teaching me to overlook form and accept the reality of Love that is ever present.

Today I will remind myself frequently that there is no Love but God’s. As the body’s eyes show me images of people, places and things, I will let the Love that is real shine through. With this practice I will learn of the Love I am. I will remember that I am always at Home in the Heaven of Love.

Mary:
Today my practice is to let go and let God. This means to let go of trying to figure anything out on my own. This means stepping back and listening. This means opening my mind to receive God’s peace until it fills every corner of my mind. This is how I am to be of service today.

Be Happy

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Be happy today. Don’t take the world too seriously. Remember you are one Self, united with your Creator. Remember Where you came from and what is the truth about you now.

There is only one united Self. That is the truth. Allow the veil to be lifted so this memory can return. Let yourself be carried by the Light of Love today. Let the happiness be that is innately yours fill your experience with peace and Love.

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Quiet joy and deep peace are your natural state, for they are the conditions of Heaven. You believe you have wandered far astray and the memory of your Home seems to have faded away. Yet there is within your heart a Call that persists, no matter how far you believe you have wandered or what you believe you have done. This Call will never die, for it is the call of your Self. Its call is a song of joy, for It would remind you of Home.

You yearn to return to this place of quiet joy and deep peace. All your searching in the world is but an attempt to find the Home you believe you have lost. Search no more. Your Home is in you. Open your heart to the song of joy. Let it draw you to your Self. Let it guide you Home.

You need do no more than be willing to give up the false idea of what you are and make way for the full recognition of your Self That remains one with your Creator. Here you find a joyous welcome, for you return to your true Home.

Recognize Your Brother as Yourself

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Let your mind stay in a place of quiet today. Let in the thought that you are resting in God all through the day. Let the thought in that you are still as God created you flow through your mind all through the day. With these thoughts comes the awareness and feeling of peace. Let this awareness carry you through the day.

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Today you can take valuable steps toward the Atonement with this simple practice: Look past all form and images to the reality of Love that is everywhere. That means that anyone’s behavior or words are recognized as simply meaningless forms that are not the holy Son of God that stands before you. All forms in the world are simply effects of denial of God’s Creation, which is denial of your Self.

Align your mind with the Holy Spirit, Who looks on all the images of the world but does not believe them. Align with the Holy Spirit and see the Love that is the only reality. With this practice your joy will overflow in gratitude, for you will be recognizing your brothers as your Self.

Remembering and Accepting God’s Love

Mary:
Today is a day to practice accepting God’s Love and extending it to all. Receiving and extending are the same. What I receive I extend, and what I extend I receive. This is my purpose today.

Robert:
Today I would remember my Father’s Love. I remember His Love by seeing it in my brother. That Love is always present. I recognize It as I remember that the images my eyes show me are not my brother. No form can be true because Love is formless and limitless. Today I choose to join with Holy Spirit’s vision as I practice looking beyond form to the Love that is God’s extension. With this practice I move closer to remembering my Father’s Love.

A Day of Practice

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Let today be a day of practice seeing beyond the images of the world to the Love that is everywhere. As you remember that only Love is real, the images the body’s eyes show you will not disturb your peace. You will remember the innocence in all your brothers and yourself.

With this focus the body becomes an instrument of communication in a world that was made to interfere with communication. Your dedication to seeing the Love beyond the images opens the door for the Holy Spirit to give a new purpose for the body that reverses the wish to separate. In this way you will make this day a day of healing and awakening.

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Today remember to choose peace instead of conflict. Practice opening your mind to peace. Practice only this. Accepting peace opens the door to a peaceful perception of the world. Let peace guide your way today.
