Remembering What Is Important

Robert:
Today is another opportunity to remember what is important. The future is not here yet, so it doesn’t exist and has no meaning. The past is over and so it doesn’t exist and has no meaning. So only the eternal present is important. All meaning is found in the present, for Love is now eternally.

Today my opportunity is to hold my attention on the present and see the Love there. In truth there is nothing else to see. With this practice comes great joy and deep peace. I am willing to have a happy day.


Mary:
Am I willing to remember that I am eternal Spirit today? I have a choice and I will reinforce what I want to believe in. Do I want to reinforce the truth or do I want to reinforce illusions of separation? This choice is before me today.

Today, my practice is to allow awareness of the truth that God’s Son is one and separation could never be real. Love is one and the rest is illusion of separation. Let me be humble today and be willing to accept the truth of oneness.

God’s Healing Peace

Mary:
This morning as I go to Spirit, I find myself thinking about all the things that need to be done today. I find it difficult to let my mind quiet. So I go to a process that is very helpful for me. I imagine myself under a waterfall of God’s healing peace… I simply give time to letting God’s peace be absorbed in… I focus merely on receiving God’s peace… I let God’s peace wash everything else away… I let myself relax into this time of accepting peace… If a thought comes in, I hand it over to peace where it is gently washed away. I just breathe in peace and extend peace until I can feel it stronger and stronger…

What comes to me is that this is a place of true rest… This eternal state of peace is always present, waiting for me to let it in. There is no past and no future here — just peace… In this place there is nowhere to go and no “to do” lists. This place is timeless and eternal. I feel a feeling of gratitude here and thankfulness for having everything I need. There is nothing lacking — a feeling of deep and full abundance. I feel very grateful for this awareness and I realize that everyone is this presence of peace that I feel.

I have a sense that my job today is to be willing to be aware of this eternal presence of peace and look for it in everyone I meet today. And what I look for in my heart of hearts, I always find. This truly is a day of many blessings as I seek for and find peace, which is always there if I am willing to accept it into my heart and mind.


Robert:
Peace is a condition of God’s Son because it is a condition of Heaven, which is his Home. If I am not experiencing peace, I am believing I have wandered away from Home. The antidote is to step back and let peace return to my mind. That is all I need to do.

Today I will practice stepping back and letting peace lead the way. Because peace is always found in the eternal present, the practice of stepping back and letting peace lead the way is the practice of forgiveness. With this practice, today will be another step forward on my journey of awakening.

Choose Peace to Carry You

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Today is another day to choose peace to carry you through the day. As you start your day, imagine peace carrying you gently, hour by hour, through the day… Imagine your day filled with peace… Imagine the quietness of God’s Love extending to everyone…

Be willing to accept God’s Oneness. Be willing to let the veil of separation be lifted to see the pure Light of God everywhere. Let today be a day of choosing peace and allowing the understanding that comes with peace to heal every thought of separation. This is what the day is for.


Holy Spirit to Robert:
Be mindful of your peace today. Remember that any disturbance is a signal that you are believing in a false idea. For truth is one and undivided and thus cannot be conflicted. Whenever you are aware of a disturbance to your peace of mind, step back, invite the Holy Spirit into your mind and open to His vision. With your willingness, the Holy Spirit will teach you to recognize the false for what it is and look past it to the Light of truth. This is the purpose of time for you today. It will be a day of healing for you.

Let Love Carry You

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Rest in My arms… Accept that you are safe in My Love… Let Love carry you all through the day… Love will show you the Love that is everywhere you look and is in everything and everyone you think of… From the safety of Love, you see only Love — no danger, no harm, no loss — only the joyous extension of your Self. Every encounter is a joyous joining in which you recognize the one Self created by God, Which you are. As you let Love carry you, your day will be filled with happy reminders that you remain as Love created you. Have a happy day.


Holy Spirit to Mary:
Be as a little child today, holding My Hand. Let Me lead you through this day. Let Me be your Teacher all through the day.

Let me show you the truth behind every illusion. Let Me show you what matters and what doesn’t matter. Let today be simple as you open your mind to My healing Light. Let today be filled with happiness as you learn to see past illusions to the Light.

Walk in Light and Be Happy

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Walk lightly in the world today and walk in Light. Let the Light in you shine through the images of the world. Imagine that the images you see that seem so solid are translucent as if they were illuminated shapes. Focus on the Light beyond the forms. As you practice focusing on the reality of Light, the reality of Love, the shapes and forms will become less and less important to you. The meaning you have given them will fade. And what remains for you to perceive is but the reflection of God’s Love and your own. Walk in Light today and you will indeed walk lightly.


Holy Spirit to Mary:
Forgiveness is your only function here. You forgive when you allow the veil to be lifted to see the truth beyond the separate forms of the world. Forgive the world by letting go of your belief in it. Practice letting go of what never happened and peace will flow where there was once uncertainty and conflict. Allow peace to replace every apprehension, every fear, every uncertainty.

Forgive and be happy. There is nothing your holiness cannot do. The light of truth rushes in as you willingly let go of trying to replace Love with all the forms of separation that you now believe are real. Let go and let God. With this comes happiness that cannot be lost.

Accept Your Inheritance

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Today let yourself practice opening your mind to receive the peace of God… See yourself receiving God’s peace and extending God’s peace… Let yourself feel its gentle presence… Give yourself time to be immersed in and rest in God’s peace… Breathe it in…

See that everyone in truth is immersed in God’s peace because they are still as God created them… God’s peace is everyone’s inheritance and this is not a small gift. You bless the world as you see the truth that God’s one Son is the pure Spirit of Love. Let yourself be aware of the pure Spirit of Love that is everywhere. Let yourself be lifted up to see the Love and feel the Love that is your natural Being. Receive this blessing today and extend this blessing today.


Holy Spirit to Robert:
Embrace your Self. The world was made as a denial of your Self. But denial does not change Reality. It only makes you unaware of It. Reality remains eternally present, available to be experienced the instant you choose to accept It. You are free in every moment to choose against denial and accept your Inheritance.

The world you see through the body’s eyes is not your home. Embrace your Self today by opening your mind to let the Holy Spirit show you what lies beyond the images the body’s eyes present. Let the Holy Spirit guide all your vision and you will see your Self everywhere. You will see Love everywhere. Thus will you embrace your Self.

Let the Holy Spirit Be Your Interpreter

Robert:
Today I was reminded of the following quote from A Course in Miracles:

“Once you accept His plan as the one function that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the Holy Spirit will not arrange for you without your effort. He will go before you making straight your path, and leaving in your way no stones to trip on, and no obstacles to bar your way. Nothing you need will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away before you reach it. You need take thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only purpose that you would fulfill. As that was given you, so will its fulfillment be. God’s guarantee will hold against all obstacles, for it rests on certainty and not contingency. It rests on you. And what can be more certain than a Son of God?” (T-20.IV.8:4-12)

What stands out to me is, “careless of everything except the only purpose that you would fulfill [Holy Spirit’s plan].” My focus always needs to be that I follow Holy Spirit’s lead. It’s not my job to plan on my own for my safety, my health or any perceived needs. My job is to stay aligned with Holy Spirit’s purpose. By doing that, I will not be distracted by false needs and imagined circumstances. The images of the world were made to make separation appear real. By aligning with the Holy Spirit, I learn to look past images to the truth.

The fact is that I still seem to be looking at the world through the body’s eyes. But just because I still have enough identification with the body that I still seem to see through the body’s eyes does not mean that I have to interpret the images on my own. In fact the way out of identification with the unreal is to let the Holy Spirit be my interpreter in every moment. The Holy Spirit’s vision extends infinitely beyond the tiny range of the body’s eyes. It is not limited by time nor space. It is not limited by the walls that bodies appear to be and make.

The Holy Spirit is the bridge between the imagined world of images and the reality of my oneness with all in Love. Thus the Holy Spirit may guide me to do things in the realm of images. This guidance is always from His all inclusive perspective and always reinforces innocence and unity while it helps me recognize what I have interpreted as fearful or disturbing as simply an empty illusion. Today I will continue my practice of letting the Holy Spirit be my interpreter in every moment.


Holy Spirit to Mary:
Today practice stepping back from your activities and saying to yourself, “Who am I and where am I in truth?” In truth you are in the Mind of God. In truth there is only one joined Mind, and that is the Mind of Love. That is where you are right now. That is where everyone is right now and for eternity.

Practice stepping back frequently today and letting yourself be reminded of this truth of Who you are and Where you are eternally. This practice will help undo your belief in the dream. This practice will help you to be truly helpful.

You and every brother are joined as one mind. As you let your mind be healed by letting the truth return, your mind is healed and all the world heals with you. Step back frequently today and let your mind be returned to the truth of What you are and Where you are eternally.
