I Do Not Know What Anything Means

Mary:  My job is to remember that everything is coming together in perfect order. My job is to relax and follow Holy Spirit’s lead, not to decide what anything means on my own. This morning the carpenters were to come to put up dry wall and make some other repairs. Right now it is snowing and blowing so they cannot make the trip from Green Bay. My job is to not decide what anything means. The truth is we are all in Heaven now. If I join with Holy Spirit, I will feel the peace and know that everything is all right. Everything is in perfect order. Holy Spirit’s plan, not mine.

Love is simple and uncomplicated. I will let Love lead today.

Robert:  Today we were led to read Text, Chapter 14, Section VII, “Sharing Perception with the Holy Spirit.” Three sentences stood out to me. “Bring, therefore, all your dark and secret thoughts to Him, and look upon them with Him…. Joining with Him in seeing is the way in which you learn to share with Him the interpretation of perception that leads to knowledge. You cannot see alone.”

This is a wonderful concise layout of God’s plan for my salvation. It.s very simple and my part is not hard. All I need to do is bring all my dark and secret thoughts to Him. The rest is His job. What makes it seem hard is only unwillingness. It is only my wish to keep some forms of specialness, things I like or hate, that I would not give to Him. So in this world, the only meaningful purpose for time is to use it to increase my willingness to keep no private thoughts. The payoff is perfect peace and perfect happiness that never ends.

I see now that my attempts to make plans on my own are just another form of trying to keep some things special for me alone. It’s like I unconsciously say to myself, “I can do this. I don’t need Holy Spirit’s help.” I haven’t thought of this as keeping a dark thought to myself but it shows that I think I am alone and must function on my own. This is the error. This is why it is so essential to keep practicing pausing for peace.

Stepping back and asking for Holy Spirit’s help throughout the day is part of the process of developing my willingness to open all my doors that I have shut against the Holy Spirit’s Light. It is a process that leads to my salvation, my complete release from self-imposed imprisonment in the belief system of separation. So today is another day filled with opportunities to walk toward the freedom of Heaven. I am excited to practice pausing for peace and remembering to see all things with the Holy Spirit’s perception.
