Dismantling Your Barriers to Love


Holy Spirit through Mary:
  Love is everywhere. Love is all there is. You will see that this is true as you stop defending against it. You are in the process of dismantling the barriers to Love.

Love is union. Love is joining as one. Laying down your barriers to Love means letting go of belief in Love’s opposite, which is separation. Oneness and separation cannot both be true. You have a Guide in your mind That can bring you the awareness of oneness as you are ready. Along with awareness of union comes God’s gifts of peace and joy. This is your inheritance.

You ask, “How do I let go of my barriers to Love?” The answer is to hand over all your false ideas, all your false beliefs, to the Holy Spirit where they will be undone for you. As long as you keep your opinions, your beliefs, your treasured ideas to yourself, you will continue to experience a world of separation, which is the opposite of God. God or Love is union, oneness. Love is one undivided whole, with no differences of any kind.

Your treasured ideas of separate bodies, separate times, separate spaces, private thoughts, are all barriers to allowing in the awareness of oneness. As long as you hold on to the belief in time and space, you will not know your reality as Love right now. Love is eternal, so Love is right now. It is impossible to know Love’s eternal unity and continue to insist on making a world of separate bodies real.

Forgiveness is the process of letting go of believing in what could never be true. Forgiveness is a process of letting go of your persistent belief in separation. Your belief in a world of unique bodies is what holds it in your experience. You no longer need to maintain this belief and you have within your mind and inner Guide, the Holy Spirit, Which leads you out of all false beliefs.

You are eternal Spirit. You are Love’s continuous extension. Love is your Source and you are the continuation of your Source. You cannot be different from your Source. You cannot be different from Love. Now is the time to recognize that you are only Love and only Love can be extended from you. Nothing else is real. Any other experience is just an hallucination. Hallucinations of separation are nothing and nowhere.

Forgiveness is what brings you this awareness. Forgive and all things that are not of the truth will disappear from your sight. Forgive and free yourself from the limited image-making of the ego. Nothing that is not of God was ever born or ever dies. It merely ceases to seem to be. You are in Heaven now because you are Heaven. You are worthy and deserving of returning to the awareness that only this is true.

Start now by keeping your mind open to your inner Teacher, the Holy Spirit. Stay with Holy Spirit through your day, touching in as often as possible. You will soon see that the Holy Spirit is always with you, ready to bring you the awareness of the truth, as you are willing. The Holy Spirit shows you the difference between illusions and reality. The Holy Spirit brings you peace of mind and leads you into kind and gentle ways. You are shown moment by moment how to be truly helpful. You realize that on your own you know nothing. But with Holy Spirit, you are led out of the ego’s beliefs which only lead to unhappiness. The Holy Spirit brings you the happy dream where all belief in separation is undone. Keep your mind open to the Holy Spirit. Make this your constant goal and you will find that it is easy. On your own, it is impossible.



Holy Spirit through Robert:
  Stay in peace. Lack of peace indicates that you are defending. It may look like you are defending against a circumstance or someone’s actions, but you are really defending against Love. Believing that there is a separate body or image that can harm you is defending against Love. So if you notice lack of peace, step back. Allow your mind to quiet and ask for the Holy Spirit’s peace. Open your mind and heart to His gift. From that place of peace, you will see differently. Because in that peace you are open to the Holy Spirit’s vision. Practice this moment by moment and the world you experience will change. This is a practice of release from limitation. It is a practice that leads you Home.
