Allowing Mind Healing

Mary:  Today we are meeting with a dear long time friend, Minnie Degnitz, whose husband has passed on. Minnie and Richard were married for over 70 years and so it is very natural that she feels a void right now.

Today we will take time join with her and remember the truth about her and her husband. Today we will take time together to join with the Holy Spirit, our true Comforter, and listen to our one true Self. Today we will remember that there is no death and that the truth about Richard, her husband, is eternal. We will use our time today to practice being brought to the truth. We will practice forgiving the ego’s false ideas. We will practice taking each moment to the Holy Spirit to be led.

We understand now that on our own we do not know anything. We have bought into confusion and now in true humility we would let it go. We would step back and listen to our true Authority and not try to be the author of our dream. We would allow our minds to be healed through the comforting touch of the Holy Spirit. We would remember, “Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.” We would practice accepting peace today.

Robert:  I know that when I let Holy Spirit lead, the path is always smooth and flows in gentleness and peace. Yet I see how frequently I think I can lead myself using what I have “learned” from the past. Eventually I do get where I need to go. But when I try to lead myself, the path meanders and many obstacles make the way more difficult.

When I step back I can see the insanity of trying to lead myself. Only insanity would ask confusion to lead. Yet that is what has been familiar. And so it seems to be easier to fall into the old habit of relying on my own confused devices for maneuvering in the world.

I am willing to be happy. I am willing to be in peace. I am willing to step back and let Holy Spirit lead the way, for only by doing this can I be truly happy and at peace. I would step back and let Him lead the way.
