A Journey to Peace

Mary:
This morning I recognize that I am in a mind training program. In this program I am the student and the Holy Spirit is the Teacher. My job as the student is to be still and listen. As I observe my thoughts, I see that they jump around a lot. It’s like trying to herd cats. The thoughts seem to go off in all kinds of directions. As I watch these thoughts with Holy Spirit, I see how much I need this inner mind training program.

I ask the Holy Spirit, “Why does this seem so difficult?” The Holy Spirit responds by asking me to just soften, let go and relax. The Holy Spirit brings a picture to my mind of being under a waterfall of Light. My job is simply to relax and let the Light into my mind. The Light does the healing. My efforting does nothing. I am encouraged to relax and let go even further.

There before me is a very straight and smooth road. On both sides of the road are beings of Light that encourage me to go down this road and trust where it takes me. I take a few hesitant steps. I take my time. With each step there is a growing feeling of peace. I relax even more as I continue and enjoy this wonderful feeling of peace. The idea of anything being “outside” is growing dimmer. This gentle feeling of peace grows larger and larger as I continue.

I find myself taking a deep breath and relaxing even more. I realize that I do not need to effort or “try” to continue down this path. It feels like I am being very gently carried. The pace feels very gentle. There is a growing feeling that all is well. The little concerns I have carried with me very gently fall away. As they fall away, I realize that I do not feel a sense of loss with their going. I love this feeling.

There is a growing sense of trust that every lesson that comes my way is there for my healing. I want the healing so I am willing to continue on. I know that as I continue on that the world of separation is gently falling away. I am being shown that this is safe and that there really is no loss.

I experience a feeling of resting in this place of peace and comfort. As I rest here, it feels even more comfortable. The quiet feels comfortable. The ease and simplicity of this state of mind feels comfortable. There is no sense of scurrying around… only quietness. I look back and look forward and it all is the same. The idea of differences and constant change is gently falling away.

I realize that I like it here in this quietness. It feels like I am coming to my true Home after wandering in the wilderness for many years.

I now realize that I cannot really lose this path peace. It is always there in my mind to return to if I find myself wandering away again. I realize that it is my choice to accept this path. I realize that I need this mind training and that my willingness is growing. The peace I feel immersed in is so uplifting and comforting. It is so restful. I see what A Course in Miracles means when it says that “health is inner peace.” I feel great gratitude to my inner Teacher for leading me on this inward journey, this inward place of rest and peace. This is all I need and I am willing to accept this gift that is always there for me now.

Holy Spirit to Robert: 
Choose to walk in peace today. It is the way you open your mind and heart to the guidance of Love. Let this day be a day in which Love leads the way.
