Let Go of Control

Robert: You have been accustomed to being in “control.” You have made your plans, checked them twice and done your best to make them happen. And you have realized that they never work out quite like you planned. On your own, you cannot really be in control because you are attempting to control illusions. But illusions are inherently unstable. They are made up of images that you must give constant attention to maintain, lest they fade away. That is why this world is fearful. It cannot be relied upon.

Now you are practicing opening to the guidance of your true Self, the Holy Spirit, Love. You are being led to let go of your futile attempts to control on your own and open to the certainty of Love, which can be experienced but not perceived through the body’s senses. As you let go of your reliance on your own interpretation of your perceptions and open to the Holy Spirit’s clear vision, you relieve yourself of the constant burden of judgment. You relieve yourself of the responsibility for the outcome of your “plans.” You open yourself to the experience of the certainty of changeless Love. You open your awareness to the innocence of the Love you are.

With this practice of letting Holy Spirit be your interpreter in all situations and all times, your step will be light and you will know you are Light. With a happy sigh, you walk in freedom and joy with your head held high, remembering the grandeur given you by God. The end of this journey is inevitable because it is changeless and it is You.

Annie: Ask Spirit Who you are and He will show you your true Identity. Ask Spirit to show you how He sees you. And He will show you your true Image. Ask Spirit to reveal your true Essence to yourself and you will see the Light that you are. As Spirit to show you Love, and you will see the I.

Mary: Let go and let God. Again, let go and let God. You can tell if you are still holding on by the level of tension you are holding on to. How much tension are you holding on to in your body? Just pay attention and very gently. let everything soften. It will feel like all the tension is just melting as you practice letting go, as you practice making room for God.

During your day, practice observing the level of tension in your body. It will be reflective of your level of holding on to the ego thought system. Again and again, today, practice softening. Practice letting go. Practice getting off of the ego merry-go-round, even if it’s just for five minutes. During this time, rest your weary mind with God. All the dream scenarios of the ego are very tiring and very depressing. They bring fear and sadness. This is the definition of being in hell. You step out of hell with your willingness, again and again, to let go and let God.

In truth, you are innocent; you are loved; you are safe; your Home in the Mind of God, in the Love of God. As you rest with God, you come to the awareness that there is only One Mind and that Mind is the Mind of God. As you rest with God, your separate identity dissolves and there is only Love.

When you return to your daily chores, bring this awareness with you and extend it to the world. The illusionary world is indeed very fearful. Your taking time frequently out by getting off the ego’s merry-go-round, even if it’s just for five minutes, will help the awaken of the whole Sonship. Practice again and again today being aware of your tension level. Let it be a reminder to you to again and again soften, let go and let God lead the way. This is the gentle way of awakening to the truth.

Sharyn: To fully trust in me, you need not question one thing. Not one circumstance, not one worry about when, why, what happens if, none of that can be questioned if you truly trust Me. Things of the world such as bills, taxes, all of those things are nothing and they cannot be questioned if you are to put your faith in me. Just know all is well in your world and when you put your faith and trust in me, only good things can come from it. Only happiness and joy are your gifts from me. You squash out those gifts when you question. Be at peace. Accept God’s gift today and always. Amen.
