Handing Over Every Concern to Holy Spirit

Mary:  This morning I found myself being very concerned about how all these different pieces to this puzzle of moving to Florida would work out. The cost of getting this house ready for sale seems to be mounting and there seems to be so much to do. As we joined to read the Course together this morning, it occurred to me that I needed to hand all these concerns over to the Holy Spirit and remember once again not to try to figure it out on my own.

I need to remember that I have an inner Teacher and that I am in Holy Spirit’s school. All of this has gotten so real to me that I have been taking it too seriously. I forgot it is a dream and I need to come back to the Holy Spirit Who will help me remember the truth of What and Where I really am.

Holy Spirit:  Remember to step back frequently. You have done a very good job in making the world appear to be real, even though it isn’t. You now need mind training in order to let all these false ideas go. That requires listening in quiet, taking everything to Me. I will wash it clean of all false ideas. Take time to relax and be in a place of ease. Everything that needs to get done will get done.

You are in a period of transition and you do need a guide. Let yourself be carried. Let your mind be washed clear of all the fears that come up as you maneuver in your dream world of separate bodies. Come frequently to let the ego barnacles be washed away. As you do this frequently, you will feel lighter and more carefree. Remember once again that you are in a school and that you have a Teacher. Give time to listening to your Teacher. You will know how much you have really done this by how much ease and peace you feel. With your inner Teacher leading you, you will have a peace-filled day.

Robert:  I’ve observed that I like to be able to see what I’ve accomplished and I base my fulfillment on that. In the process of clearing things away to prepare for renovation and the move, sometimes it seems like I haven’t accomplished anything because things still seem to be in disarray. I recognize this now as another ego ploy to keep me attached to form and thinking form has meaning.

My only real fulfillment comes with following Holy Spirit’s plan. Holy Spirit’s plan is always ultimately to let go of valuing form, which is always just an empty image. Only Love matters.

Yesterday we took away three bags of trash and set aside a pile of stuff to go to Goodwill. The fulfillment in this comes from the symbol it represents of letting go of valuing forms. This is a huge release. It is an essential step on the return Home. It isn’t counted in how big the trash bags were or how much stuff is taken to Goodwill. It’s only value is in the letting go of the world it represents.

One tiny item, weighing less than an ounce could represent the final release to take me to the gate of Heaven. It is not for me to decide where I am on my journey Home. It is simply for me to follow Holy Spirit’s lead for the next step. In doing this my fulfillment is guaranteed, for I am truly fulfilling my purpose and bringing my brothers with me back to Heaven. My heart is filled with joy and gratitude for this wonderful classroom and my magnificent Teacher.

Holy Spirit through Sharyn:  Peace is your way Home to Me. When you allow someone else or a disturbing letter or phone call to take away your peace, know that those are all ways that the ego keeps you from Me. You see, when others want you to buy into their thought systems by telling you the way things have to be or should be, why would you allow that to take away your peace? When the thoughts of others are coming from their ego’s, bless them and pray that they will learn how to come to Me to receive the gift of peace. For you see when you allow yourself to get upset over any circumstance, you are completely forgetting Who you are. You are letting others ego’s dictate what is best for you or what they think you should do.

Please always remember to come to Me and I will tell you what to think and what must be done. I will always guide you to truth and peace. I will always guide you to realize Who you really are and Where you really are. You are One in the Mind of God. In the Mind of God there is only peace, happiness and joy. Bring all your concerns to Me so that I can remind you of that. That is why it is so important to come to Me continually and to be reminded more and more each day of the Love and peace that you really are. Living in that Love and peace is so important for you to serve others as you allow Me to serve you.
