Allow Your Mind to Quiet

Holy Spirit through Mary:  Allow your mind to quiet. You have all these ideas floating around in your mind about how this move could be accomplished. You grab on to some of them in hopes that they will provide you some safety. You are asked now to just gently let them all go. Let them flow by without grabbing on to them. If you need to do so, ask for help in letting them go. Just open your mind to the idea that you are receiving help in a way that is perfect for you right now. Your willingness to receive Holy Spirit’s help is what allows it to come in to your experience.

Imagine all your inner doors and windows wide open to Holy Spirit’s help. Imagine that help in the form of Light. Watch as the Light enters your mind and very gently, all the false ideas that you were involved with disappear. What is left is the feeling of peace and gentleness and the knowing that everything is going to be all right. As you let in the Light of Truth, all your fears subside and you are left with a sense of well being and safety.

You rest a while in the eternal presence of Love. Fear of what may happen in the future gently disappears. You know you are in good hands and that in truth you are invulnerable. You cannot be anywhere but in Heaven. You let in the awareness that you are in Heaven now and that truth can never change. So it matters not what happens in the dream. The idea of loss is but an illusion. The idea of protecting what you have is but an illusion. Separate things are just images.

These images will come and go, but what is eternal never changes. And you are eternal. You can never change from the eternal Love you are. Let yourself soak in this remembering. Let it very gently heal all the parts that think it has to defend against loss. Let yourself remember that you can never lose What you are and Where you are in truth. Let the lessons that come with this move bring you to a place where you easily pass by those fears. Let this move strengthen your trust muscles. You are safe.

Dreams of separation are really nothing. Let the Holy Spirit bring you an awakening dream where you are led to the understanding that in reality you never left Home, you cannot leave Home. That is why you are safe. Give time to letting that sink in.

Holy Spirit through Robert:  The ego insists that you are weak, vulnerable and at risk of attack in every moment. It is always in a state of hyper alertness and readiness to defend. This is only natural because whatever belief you identify with you will see portrayed everywhere you look. The ego is the idea that attack is possible, that separation from God, our Source, is possible. The daily practice of turning all of your thoughts over to the Holy Spirit for His interpretation is the means for shifting your allegiance from the ego thought system to the Holy Spirit’s.

Since the Holy Spirit’s thought system is of unity and wholeness, it brings an innate sense of safety. Because the Holy Spirit teaches that you are one with your brother and with God, there is no other “out there” that could attack or harm you. So when you align your thinking with the Holy Spirit, deep peace is inevitable. When you are certain of your safety, you have no fear and you rest in ease. This is the gift that is given you in return for your gift of all your thoughts to the Holy Spirit.

In every moment you are choosing between the ego’s thought system of guilt and terror and the Holy Spirit’s thought system of innocence and peace. The choice is easy when recognized in its true simplicity. The choice only seems difficult because the images of the ego seem to be appealing and cleverly disguise the terror and guilt they hide.

That is why you need to practice giving all your thoughts to the Holy Spirit and opening your mind to His interpretation. He will gently lift the veil of these disguises and show you they have no substance. They are nothing. With the veil lifted, you see that all that ever is really there is Love. Love is What you are because Love is all there is. You can learn to recognize this. Let yourself be taught by the Teacher in your mind. Accept His gift and be free.
