Love Is

Mary:
As I continue the daily practice of going to Holy Spirit with everything, I am frequently reminded that God is. Love is. And there is nothing else. That is why I am perfectly safe, no matter what the dream looks like. That is why everyone is perfectly safe, no matter what they make up in the dream.

When I go to Spirit during the day, every often I hear, “Only Love is there.” When I think something else is there to be defended against, I have merely forgotten the truth. In truth, only Love is everywhere. Only Love is. This is my lesson, over and over. And the Holy Spirit does not tire of reminding me again and again. I am very grateful that the Holy Spirit is very patient. I have great gratitude that this is so.

I see that this is what time is for — to learn that only Love is real and that we all are in Love and of Love eternally. Nothing has really happened to change God’s one Son. We all are the beingness of Love in the Mind of Love. Waking up to this Reality is our only true function now.

As I am willing to listen to Holy Spirit more and more, I am reminded again and again that I can relax now. I need not effort because only Love is real and nothing has changed Reality. My service will be shown to me, minute by minute. As I follow how I am led, peace and happiness are received and extended. This is my job, today and every day.


Robert:
A Course in Miracles tells me to teach only Love. That is how I will learn that I am Love. It also says to teach what you need to learn. I learn by extending the lessons given me by the Holy Spirit, my true Self. Teaching the lessons of the Holy Spirit is the way I accept the lessons. In other words if I refuse the Holy Spirit’s lessons, I will not teach Love.

So in each moment of the day, I need to practice holding my mind open to the Holy Spirit’s lesson, the Holy Spirit’s vision, so that I may teach it and learn it. This is how I will learn to recognize the Love that everyone is, including me.

Today is another blessed opportunity to learn that I am Love by seeing the Love that is everywhere.

The Joining of Love with Love

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Remember that every meeting is an opportunity for a holy encounter. You make it holy by letting the Love you are guide your vision and join with the Love in the “other.” The joining of Love with Love is the only meaningful purpose in any encounter.

Practice today being attentive to the Love in you and aware of the joining of Love with Love that is ever present and beyond all appearances of form. With this intent, today will be a great step toward your remembrance of What you are.


Holy Spirit to Mary:
Today, if you find yourself efforting in any way, use it as a signal to step back and follow. Take a deep breath and relax; ask to be led; ask to see the truth. The veil will be lifted as you become open minded enough to let it in.

If you think you already know what anything means that you are seeing in the world, this becomes a barrier to seeing it differently. As you remember you do not know what anything means, you leave a crack in the door for Holy Spirit to enter. Practice asking for the Light of truth to be shown to you. What you truly want to see will come to you.

The Simplicity of Accepting Love

Mary:
We have recently been working with Pathways of Light course 918: The Power of Prayer and Meditation with a group on Saturday mornings. What stands out to me, as I have been working with this course, is that I need to watch my willingness to be with God. In the Song of Prayer, we are reminded that true prayer is a giving up of yourself to be at one with Love. “It is a song of thanksgiving for what you are. Herein lies the power of prayer. It asks nothing and receives everything.” (S-I.7:3-5)

As I go through my day, I am encouraged to practice this by taking frequent timeouts from the busyness of the world and asking myself, “Am I willing to be with God right now? Am I willing to accept my holiness, or am I thinking that I am weak, vulnerable and alone? Am I willing to accept God’s gifts to me? God has given me all Love, all peace, all joy. Am I willing to accept this right now?”

I’m being encouraged to accept my oneness with God and everyone’s oneness with God. I’m being encouraged to accept my true Identity as Love.

This course has been so helpful. The simplicity of accepting Love is so profound. Accepting Love and extending Love is my only function. I am being very gently reminded to give more time to this because it is all that is really important. I feel such gratitude that we are all safe in God and that nothing can happen to change God’s one Son. We all have it all and we are learning to accept that this is true.


Robert:
When we are in an attitude of fear, our awareness of wholeness and safety is blocked. In addition, we see justification for our fear everywhere we look, because that is what we believe is real. That is why it is so important that we practice moment by moment, day in and day out, bringing all our fear thoughts to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not fooled by false images and has no fear.

So when we bring our thoughts of fear to Him and are willing to join with His vision, together we can see past the images and recognize they have no substance and thus do not justify fear. In every moment the Holy Spirit is present in our minds to teach us what is real and what is not. As we are willing to learn this, we are freed from the thought system of fear and guilt so we can remember the truth that we are eternally safe in Love.

Remember the Love You Are

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Happiness is remembering you are Love. There is no greater joy than joining in Love. When you remember you are Love, you see with the vision of Love. Images are looked past and disregarded, for they are recognized as having no substance of their own.

Many have experienced what they call being “in love.” For most this experience is centered around a special individual. Yet the experience offers a hint of what it is to know you are truly in the Love of God, in Love. The experience of seeing only the good and the lovely, the feeling of joining and wholeness that is associated with being “in Love,” is a foretaste of what you will experience when you let go of all images entirely and accept the unity of God’s Love.

The Love that you are is whole. It does not require something outside it to make it whole. Because Love is one, this wholeness can never be lost. The ego thought system looks to the external for completion, but when you accept you are Love, you know you are complete and there is no need to search. Nothing is missing.

Let yourself remember the Love you are today. Let yourself see the Love you are everywhere today and it will be a joyous day indeed!


Holy Spirit to Mary:
What do you want to see today? Do you want to see through the eyes of Christ or through the eyes of the ego?

The ego sees everything in separate pieces, unique and alone. The eyes of Christ see only oneness. The eyes of Christ see Itself everywhere as Love.

What do you want to see today? Practice stepping back from seeing individuality and allow your true Self to show you All there is to see. Oh what a happy day when this choice is made! This letting go and letting God.

Let Love Guide Your Way

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Your heart’s desire is the same as God’s Will. All you really want is to extend the Love you are given in every moment. You are dreaming that you are in a world apart, but even in this dream you can express your heart’s desire and see Love’s reflection everywhere.

To do this you must allow your inner vision, the vision of your true Self, to be predominant. Your inner vision knows that the appearances of forms do not matter. Your inner vision gives no meaning to the forms that the body’s senses show you. Your inner vision sees meaning only in the expression of Love and the forgiveness in this world that reflects Love.

Dedicate this day to your heart’s desire, to seeing with the vision of your Self. It will be a happy day because it will be a day of living the will you share with God.


Holy Spirit to Mary:
Let today flow from a place of peace. Recognize that your problems have been solved.

Let simple, uncomplicated Love guide your way today. You will know you are doing this by the level of peace and inner happiness you feel. Choose peace and your experience will come from peace.

Accept God’s Peace

Holy Spirit to Robert:
You want the peace of God. If you make no decisions on your own, but choose your God-Self as your Guide in all decisions, you will experience the peace of God. The belief that you are on your own is the cause of all your uncertainty, anxiety, fear and guilt. The good news is that this belief is just a false idea that can be corrected. Your choice to let your God-Self be your Guide is how you learn to let the false idea of what you are be corrected.

Start your day with your dedication to follow the wisdom of your inner Guide. Through the day be mindful of when you feel out of peace and remind yourself that you want the peace of God and so you want to follow your God-Self. Allow yourself the time to let this rededication return peace to your mind. With this practice, your experience will demonstrate to you that following your God-Self brings you everything you really want. God’s peace and Love and joy will be reflected in the world you perceive.


Holy Spirit to Mary:
Give yourself the time this morning to be in God’s waterfall of peace… Let yourself inhale the peace…. Be like a sponge, accepting the peace that is always there…. Let it melt away the tension you are still holding on to…. Let it help you let go of everything…. Let yourself accept your true reality….

As you practice daily accepting God’s peace more consistently, the veil of separation naturally gets lifted and you see a world of Love, a world of Light, a world of joy. This is what accepting the gift of peace brings you today. Enjoy!
