I Rest in God

Robert:
I rest in God. These words remind me of my true Home. “I rest in God” brings peace to my mind, for it reminds me that the strength and safety of God surround me.

When I remember “I rest in God,” the world I see reflects back to me the Love and peace of God. I recognize all brothers as one with me, for we are all together in God. There is no conflict in God, so when I remember that I rest in God, nothing disturbs my peace.

The body’s eyes may show me conflicting images, but they do not affect me when I remember I rest in God. Today I will remind myself frequently that I rest in God.

Mary:
The thought, “I rest in God,” brings with it the feeling of being immersed in God’s ocean of peace, being immersed in the changeless peace of God’s everlasting Love. This is What I am and Where I am.

Remembering this frequently today keeps the door open to Holy Spirit’s continuous flow of inspiration. This is how I can be truly helpful today. We all rest in God eternally, and for this I give thanks.

Right Now… Receive Peace

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Pay attention to this now moment… Be willing to receive peace in this now moment… Practice letting go of all you think you know… Practice letting go of the ego’s belief in differences… Practice allowing the Light of Truth to shine through the clouds… See the unsubstantial nature of the ego’s clouds… Let yourself be led past the clouds to the Light of Truth within…

Right now you are at Home in the Mind of God… Right now, God’s Thoughts are your real thoughts… Relax and let the peace of your true Nature return to your awareness… All is well right now… All is God right now…

Holy Spirit to Robert:
All there really is to “see” is the Light of Love, because only Love is real. This Light is seen through forgiving eyes that have let go of the past and see only the present moment. In the present instant, there is nothing to see but Love.

Today as your body’s eyes show you images of forms, let your Self remind you that these forms have no substance. They are like passing clouds that dissipate in the Light of Love. Let your Self show you the Light beyond the images that the body’s eyes show you. The body’s eyes cannot show you this Light. This Light is seen through inner vision that is willing to see the truth, that remembers you remain as Love created you.

Raise your inner vision to prominence today and what you will see will make your heart sing with the gratitude that comes with being at Home in Love.

Relax

Robert and Mary:
When we really want to relax deeply and open to Holy Spirit’s inspiration, here is a process we find helpful:

Let yourself relax…
Let go of your grip on your body…
Let the tension melt away…
You can relax now… simply relax…

Let the muscles in your scalp relax… around your ears… and forehead…
Let the muscles in your cheeks relax… the muscles around your eyes…
Let your jaw relax… your neck…

Let that relaxation move down your neck into your shoulders…
Let your arms and hands relax…
Let that relaxation move to your chest and stomach…
Let it move down your back and down your legs…

You relax deeply…
You feel safe and secure in this deep rest…
You let your mind quiet…
You feel safe in God’s arms…
Just let go and relax deeply…

Let the Holy Spirit bring you peace…
Let that peace flow through you… bringing you to a deep place of rest…
You can let go even more now…

You allow the Holy Spirit, your true one Self, to do Its healing work in your mind…
You know the Spirit of oneness is always there with you… helping you let go and relax deeply…
You receive waves and waves of peace…
It is such a relief to let go…

Your true Self carries you to a deeper place of rest… and quiet…
You find peace in this quiet…
You find God in this quiet…
You find all Goodness in this quiet…

In quiet is every problem solved…
You let go and receive God’s peace and Love…
You receive your true Self’s sense of wellness…
You know that everything is all right… everything is in perfect order…

In the place of rest, you receive the Holy Spirit’s inspiration, Holy Spirit’s insight…

You Are Carried in Gentleness and Peace

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Remember you are being guided today… Remember you are being carried… Consistently step back and listen… Consistently practice accepting peace…

Let the truth return to your mind… Let yourself remember that you are still safe in God’s Mind… You are immersed in God’s peace, in God’s Love…  You extend His peace and Love to everyone you meet or even think of…

Let the joy of Love’s Presence be evident because it is there… Love is. God is. In reality, there is nothing else.

Robert:
Imagine what it would be like to ride in a hovercraft on a cushion of air — no bumps, just freely flowing along your path… When you join with the Holy Spirit, your true Self, you are carried above the battleground of images of separation…

Your true Self knows there are no barriers, nothing to interfere with your unity in Love… Ride with your Self today… and let the flow of Love carry you in gentleness and peace… Let the flow of Love show you the Love in every brother, shining through the images of bodies and forms…

Hover with Holy Spirit today and it will be a joyful ride…

Accepting the Gift of Peace

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Pay attention to what is happening in your mind in the now moment… Pay attention to receiving My gift of peace in this now moment… Accepting peace is accepting a powerful gift that is always available to you…

Today focus on accepting the gift of peace on a consistent basis. It is the way out of the experience of doubt and uncertainty. It is the way out of hell for you. Today focus on accepting peace now. Do this and everything else will fall in place with no effort on your part.

Robert:
This morning our time with Spirit has had a different form than usual. As usual, we started with reading in A Course in Miracles. But there are projects in the works that can be progressing in the background while we focus our attention on Spirit, such as getting printing done. So during our time with Spirit, there were ‘interruptions’ when we were led to get a project started and then come back to full attention on Spirit. This happened several times as it appeared that we went back and forth between giving our attention to Spirit and attending to printing catalogs.

This has been a great exercise in the practice of walking with Spirit through the day. By staying in peace, we could switch back and forth between “worldly activities” and giving conscious attention to the Spirit within; we were able to quickly let go of the projects and focus our attention within. To me the lesson is that it is possible to walk with Spirit throughout the day. All I need to do is to pause as needed to refocus on the quiet peace of Spirit within. The more I do this the easier it is and the smoother I flow through the day. With practice, reconnecting with peace can be accomplished in an instant. I will continue today with this practice.

One Step at a Time

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Take one step at a time, remembering in each moment to step back and choose peace… Be like a little child, remembering that you do not know what anything means… Step back and receive peace and understanding from the Holy Spirit… Continue this throughout the day…

Robert:
When it seems like there is a lot of things to do, things to remember, I find it helpful to write them down so that I can let them go. While the ‘to do’ thoughts are racing through my mind, my attention is on the ‘future’ rather than now. Writing these things down so that I can let them go makes the next step easier — taking time to go to peace and opening to Holy Spirit’s lead. Then I let Holy Spirit set the priorities of what to focus on in the now moment. I get myself into trouble when I try to decide on my own what I should be doing.

Today seems to be one of those days where I need to redouble my attention to my level of peace and stepping back to follow. This is how I let Holy Spirit be my time manager. He always does a better job than I do. On my own, my doing becomes simply a reinforcement of the belief that I am alone and separate. With His lead, all my doing is in service to awakening. Today I would follow and serve.

In Peace I Remember I Am Being Carried

Robert:
When I trust in Holy Spirit’s plan, I am always at peace. I am confident that all my needs are met. My heart is filled with gratitude in the present moment. I feel the Love of God in me and see It everywhere. I recognize the images of the world as inconsequential and therefore non-threatening.

But the moment I shift into planning for my safety so that I can be ‘sure’ that my needs will be met, peace is replaced by uncertainty, impatience and at least a low level of anxiety. This way of thinking is so habitual that I have to be especially vigilant to recognize that I have slipped into the old habit. It seems normal because I have done it for so long. But the benefit of staying in a state of peace is worth the effort. Today is another day of vigilance because I want to remember the peace of God is my own.

Mary:
This morning as I go into the place of quiet in my mind, I am gently reminded that I am being carried. I am reminded to place the future in the Hands of God. I am reminded that, in fact, there is no past and there is no future. There is only the eternal presence of Love. I am gently reminded to step back frequently today, and to allow peace to lead the way. In this state of mind, my level of trust is strong. This is my practice for today, and I am grateful.
