Let Me Shine the Boulder Away

Holy Spirit to Mary:  You are receiving a lesson in where to place your trust. I watch you wobble back and forth. What would be helpful right now, when you notice fear about the future pop up in your mind, is first to notice it. Second, you need not keep it; hand it over. You will know that you are truly handing it over if the tension is replaced by the feeling of ease and peace. Peace then naturally flows through your mind once you have handed it over. It is just the fear thought that has been blocking the flow of peace that is inherently yours.

So this image might be helpful. See that fear thought as a boulder that is blocking the flow of peace. Notice that the blockage is there. Take that boulder, that fear thought, and see yourself giving it to me. You admit that you do not know on your own what to do with that boulder, but I do know what to do with it. I shine a Light on it and show you the nothingness that it is. Once that boulder has been shined away, you will naturally feel that flow of peace that innately is there.

Let yourself basque in the peace. Let it wash away anything that is not really yours. Continue this process through the day, noticing if another fear thought/boulder comes into view. Again, do the same thing. Hand it over and continue handing it over until you can feel what is inherently yours again. It is your job to hand it over. It is my job to shine it away, to show your its nothingness. You do your job and let me do my job. We work well together.

Holy Spirit to Myron:  You’ve learned to take a step back and to observe what’s happening in your life even as it is happening. This has been very helpful. It has helped take you out of the fear, even while you experience the fear. Continue to practice this and it will be even more helpful. You’ve noticed that there are many ways for you to approach surrender, many helpful tools which bring you to surrender, but that surrender is very simply a choice and that once you make that choice, it’s done.

Because you have stepped back, watching this process with some detachment from the situation, this is much clearer to you than ever before. All of the strain of surrender and pain that you felt as you tried to surrender was caused from not wanting to surrender. Once your desire was whole, surrender simply happened.

Don’t be confused by the form. One thing that you surrender is no different from another. It only seems so, because you have given more value to a particular form. In the end, when you wholly desire surrender, you simply open your hand and release that which has kept you imprisoned within your mind. Making one situation seem different from another is just an ego separation strategy. Look past what seems to be happening. A good way to do this is to ask Me for the purpose. Ask Me what this means and what is this for. That will take you past the form to what remains the same behind the form.

Holy Spirit to Robert:  Be mindful of your level of peace today. If you want to flow in the river of Love, you need to be in peace. Love and peace are always together, for one is an attribute of the other. As you maintain a state of peacefulness, the activity of the moment flows with ease. It is an expression in form of the formless Love you are.

Every moment can be Love’s expression to the world through you. You need only stay in peace. It does not matter whether that expression appears to go no further than your thought or just to a person you talk with. Any expression of Love is maximal and always touches all. This is very simple. There really is only one. The appearance of many does not matter. Go in peace today.
