Accepting Help from the Holy Spirit

While unconscious tendencies dominate your mind, you cannot freely choose. The choices you make in your life will follow a repeating pattern, even though situations and circumstances may change. Yet the outcome will be the same. To bring about meaningful change, you must learn to know your own mind, not superficially but deeply. You must become aware of your mind in action, for it is always active. Its activity either multiplies and strengthens illusion, or move you in the direction of Truth.

To reinforce Truth in your mind, you must follow the guidance you receive from the Holy Spirit, for He alone knows Truth. You have lost the awareness of It, and banished It even from your memory. He is the link between you and your Creator, between you and your Self. As long as you are lost in the play of illusion, He will never leave you. The Holy Spirit is always available and will give you all the help you need, and can accept, at any time. You need only develop the habit of asking, and be receptive and open, to receive answers. (From the Christ Mind, pp. 126-127)

Because we are believing in illusions of loss, lack and vulnerability, we are very fearful. The ego mind creates a constant flow of problems to keep our mind occupied. It is only when we are willing to open our minds to our true Self, the Holy Spirit, that we receive the true answer to every problem. At this stage we don’t realize we are making up fearful stories of being separate from Love. We don’t realize that we are trying to be separate from our Source.

But we do have Help. As we openly welcome mind purification by recognizing that we don’t already know, the Holy Spirit shows us a way to look at the world we are seeing differently. We are brought to the truth of Love’s Presence behind the dream of separation. All this comes with accepting help from the Holy Spirit all through the day.
