Lesson In Trust

Holy Spirit through Mary:  There is nothing that can stop you. The decision has been made and you are willing to implement Holy Spirit’s plan. Once the decision has been made, all events unfold in perfect timing, better than you can possibly imagine. There are no stones that will trip you up. The path is smooth and lined with flowers. You need not hold on to fearful limiting thoughts that something would hinder your progress. The way has been made clear. The Holy Spirit is in charge. Remember this when doubts creep up about how this could unfold so easily. This is a lesson in trust for you and a lesson in strengthening your habit of choosing God’s peace above all else.

Through the gateway of peace, Caminos de Luz (Pathways of Light in Spanish) is born with many helpers and many witnesses. It is like the metaphor of the Christ child being born in a manger in Jerusalem. Both kings and shepherds come to assist this little babe and welcome it into the world. The Christmas star lights the way for Caminos de Luz. Its message is peace on earth and good will toward all men. At that is the message of Caminos de Luz.

Through the gateway of choosing God’s peace, the Holy Spirit is activated to do Its healing work through all who came to help this tiny babe and parent it through its early years so that it can be of service to thousands.

Holy Spirit through Robert:  The ego fears change. So when outward circumstances appear to be changing, the ego moves into defense mode. It throws up its defenses in all directions. Sometimes these defenses manifest as anger or irritability toward a situation or person totally unrelated to the changing circumstances the ego fears.

Remember the ego’s mechanism for getting rid of what it does not like or fears is projection and denial. So it will project its fear on any target as long as it seems to provide a means of escape from the fear harbored in the mind. So if you experience yourself making judgements, being irritable, wanting to withdraw, recognize these as symptoms of the ego’s defensiveness. Then simply turn them over to the Holy Spirit and ask His help in letting them go and seeing past them to the truth of God’s strength in you and the presence of His Love everywhere. As you practice this, your resistance and defensiveness will subside and you will once again see the clear path prepared before you.

What makes the path seem rocky and difficult is only your judgments, your defenses. So when you feel yourself struggling or pushing or withdrawing, use these as reminders to turn to the Holy Spirit and ask for His vision. The path before you has always been clear and smooth. Your diligence in practicing keeping your mind aligned with the Holy Spirit’s is what will help you recognize this clear path before you.
