Abide in the Present Moment

Mary:  In the middle of the night I found myself worrying about how some event might happen in the future. When I woke up early this morning, I took these thoughts to the Holy Spirit and received the following message:

“What if you realized after your ‘life’ was completed and you looked back on it, that you had two ways to live that life: You could have worried your way through it, judging each circumstance according to how you thought it should have gone or you could have trusted that the way each circumstance unfolded was the perfect way for you to learn the lessons you came to learn. You could have relaxed and gone with the flow of each circumstance, trusting that the Holy Spirit was with you to guide you to the truth

Now that you know that these are your two options, which way do you want to choose for the rest of your ‘life’?”

Mary:  Am I willing to let the veil be lifted? Am I willing right now to look at the world I am seeing through the body’s eyes with Holy Spirit? If I truly am willing, I will see the world differently. I will see past the illusion of time to the eternal truth that lies in everyone. As I go through each day, I do notice that this willingness does wobble. It seems to come and go, but I see that my lesson now is to let this willingness be more consistent.

There are still times when I “lose it” and the veil is definitely not lifted. It is at these times that my willingness is still weak. So today becomes another opportunity to step back again and again and, yet once again, simply to allow the Holy Spirit to do His job of lifting the veil that I had closed. What a wonderful opportunity I have today. I am worth the effort.

Holy Spirit to Dorie:  Seek nothing! Merely abide in the present moment. Allow My peace, My joy and Love to shine through all that surrounds you. Look within. My Spirit provides all you need.

Holy Spirit to Myron:  You wonder how to set those thoughts aside which want to intrude on the peaceful day you planned. Don’t allow your mind to become a battleground. That’s not the way to peace. Remember the vision of clouds floating through the sky. See those thoughts as clouds and just allow them to float on through. As you know, the thoughts will not disturb your peace unless you choose to believe them, to give them your attention.

Holy Spirit to Robert:  There is a place in you where changeless peace abides. It does not waiver, but remains your rock. It is What God created as You. All the changing forms, thoughts of fear and guilt are unknown in this place of peace, for in truth they do not exist.

Allow yourself to gently settle into this peace. Just let the distracting thoughts and images pass you by. They do not merit your attention. They are not what you want. You want this peace because it is You. It is the truth of you and no one can fail who seeks to find the truth.
