Are We Willing to Follow?

Do we want to be happy? Are we willing to follow Holy Spirit’s guidance? These questions are the same. The Holy Spirit’s function is to guide us to the truth of What we are. What we are is eternally happy because we share God’s joy.

The old habit is to ask the ego first for its interpretation of what we see and to ask it what to do. Yet experience has shown that the ego never leads us to joy. In fact, it leads us in the opposite direction to guilt, fear and pain. Some things in the world do seem to bring temporary happiness. But these appearances are illusions that never last.

Thankfully we have another Guide Whose purpose is to lead us back to the joy of our true Self. We need not be afraid of it. The Holy Spirit’s guidance demands no sacrifice. We need only be willing to relinquish all our judgments and let the Holy Spirit judge on our behalf. His judgment is very simple. If it is not changeless Love, it is not real. When we accept the Holy Spirit’s judgment, it is very easy to let go of misperceptions, which clears the away for the acceptance of the joy of our being as Love.

Today our practice is to hold our minds open to the Holy Spirit’s lead with willingness to follow.
