The Only Purpose

Mary:
Right now, what is the purpose of “living” in this world? The only purpose is to remember God — remember God in every brother and remember God is still in my mind, behind all the barriers I have placed there. The only purpose now is to let Holy Spirit lead me back to the awareness that in truth, everyone in this dream world of separate bodies has never left Heaven, has never left the one Mind of God.

The only purpose now is to become aware of Love’s presence, which is the only reality. The only purpose now is to forgive or be willing to see past all the false images of separate Identities. The purpose now is to allow the veil to be lifted to see the face of Christ.

This is my purpose today in each present moment. My job is to pay attention to my real purpose. As I pay attention to my real purpose, I will be less inclined to get lost in dreams. I will be able to be truly helpful. I will be filled with the awareness of our Father’s peace and joy, which belong to all of us forever.

Robert:
Father, I give this day to you. It was made to serve an alien purpose, but I know that you will give it a purpose that will lead me Home to You. I want this above all else. I want to remember Who and What I am. I want to remember Love. I walk to you in peace today.

The Certainty of Love

Robert;
As I write this, there are sounds of trucks, chain saws and heavy equipment coming from down the street. It is interesting to observe the curiosity that tells me I should find out what’s going on. This curiosity comes from the part of my mind that thinks the world is real and something is happening. The noise just got louder and seems to command my attention even more. Maybe I should look and see if they are coming into our house! This is just another form of ego distraction that is only there because part of my mind identifies with the body.

The Love that I am is undisturbed and unchanged by this appearance. My focus in every moment is to rest in that Love. This is where I remain at peace, for the Light of Love shines through all appearances and shows me the certainty of my rest in God. Here is my center of peace. Here is my unshakable foundation in truth. From this center of peace, the Holy Spirit calls through me to all who are weary and afraid to come join us in the certainty of changeless Love. Together we rest in the peace of God.

Mary:
This is a day of quiet listening… This is a day of practice, opening up to the Love within me and accepting the peace of God… That’s all I need to focus on. As I do this, everything is made clear. I see that I have everything I need.

Step Back

Robert:
I place all my thoughts, opinions and judgments on Holy Spirit’s altar. They represent a false self I have believed I am. I do not know what anything means or what anything is for. Trying to interpret anything on my own simply interferes with my happiness. Trying to interpret or understand anything with the limited information allowed by the false self simply leads to frustration, disappointment and dejection.

But when I turn all this over to the Holy Spirit and wait in peace for His interpretation to replace my feeble attempts to judge, I find relief, peace and quiet joy. The joy comes because, with the Holy Spirit, I see the Light of the world shine through every appearance. Appearances become insignificant and the Light is all I want to see. My brother becomes a shining star that shows me the Light of the one Self we share. It brings a happy reunion that unites me with my brother and my Source in limitless Love. As I lay my thoughts on Holy Spirit’s altar and step back, I open the door to the gift of Love.

Mary:
As I open my mind to Spirit, the thought comes in that I rest in God… and that everyone rests in God along with me…

I can relax now… no need for efforting or trying to decide on my own what is helpful or not helpful… I need do nothing but step back and listen… the Holy Spirit does it all… There is no separate “I”… there are no separate people… all is continuously safe in the one Mind of God… This is my focus today.

Joining with Holy Spirit

Robert:
Today my job is to focus on the Love in every brother, in every circumstance. Only the Love is real. Everything else is just an appearance perceived through the body’s senses or an image in the mind. As I let Holy Spirit be my interpreter in each moment, appearances fade in value and the presence of Love is increasingly recognized and accepted. Today I choose the Holy Spirit’s vision in place of my own interpretations. Thus will I experience Love’s blessing.

Mary:
This is my prayer today: Holy Spirit I pray that I step back consistently today and open to your healing thoughts. I pray that I trust in Your strength and not my own. I pray that I open to Your peace, Your patience, Your gentleness. Only Your Will, Holy Spirit, only Your Will is my prayer today.

With Peace Comes Certainty

Holy Spirit to Robert:
You are eternally safe in the heart of Love. As you walk through the day in the world of dreams, it seems that there are many decisions to make. The choices may seem complicated and you may be uncertain about which choice is best. This uncertainty occurs because of the ego’s conflicting goals. These goals are not yours and they do not serve you.

The Holy Spirit’s goal is always certain because it is one. It is the Holy Spirit’s function to lead you back to the full remembrance of your Home in Love. Step back from the ego’s goals. Take time to return to the Source of peace within you and accept the Holy Spirit’s goal, for in truth it is yours.

As you let loose of the ego’s artificial values, every decision becomes as clear as a sunbeam lighting your way. You accept the Holy Spirit’s certainty as your own. Let this be your focus today and you will share the Holy Spirit’s certainty and Love.

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Focus on accepting God’s peace today. Let yourself feel the comfort and safety it brings. Let yourself be aware of its gentleness and certainty, erasing all doubt from your mind. Let accepting peace be your priority today and you will be extending peace to the world. This is your function today.

Let Your Mind Be Still

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Allow time for quiet… Let your mind be still… Open to the Light of truth… Relax your hold on the dream story of separation… Let Love’s stillness fill your mind… Let the comfort and peace of Love fill every concern… Give time to resting in God… Give time to accepting God’s peace and joy… Remember you are safe as God created you and that nothing has happened to change what you are eternally… Let yourself remember that you rest in God today…

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Let peace carry you today. Peace opens the door to true vision. In peace you see past images to the Love that is in all things and is everything. There is no conflict in peace, for there is no judgement in peace. Let peace carry you in each moment today.

Peace First

Robert:
My prayer today: Holy Spirit, I give You all my opinions and judgments and goals. They do not serve me. Help me to see as You see. I want only to join in Your purpose. The world was made for a goal I no longer want. I choose instead the function You give it, which brings me back to my Home in Love. I walk with You in gratitude today.

Mary:
Today it is my practice to open to the peace of God that is always in my mind, waiting for my acceptance. By being willing to join with the peace of God, I will receive the inspiration I need in the moment. Peace first.
