Let Your Real Mind Lead the Way

Mary:  When we find out that the mind which we have identified with is not our real mind and is not really us at all, this can seem very frightening and disorienting. Because we have identified with the thoughts in this false mind, we have experienced the effects of these thoughts in an “outer world,” which has made it seem very real to us.

The good news is that we have a real Mind, our eternal Mind, Which lasts beyond the body and is forever free. Our job now is to let go of the false mind by recognizing its thoughts as mere false ideas. As we recognize these ideas as false with the help of the Holy Spirit, it becomes easier and easier to let this false mind with all its ideas of separate bodies go. It becomes easier to allow our mind to become purified by the Spirit of Wholeness, Which is our true Mind.

Our true Mind knows that there is no world, no “life” in a body that is our own alone. Our true Mind helps us see past these false ideas to the truth of our oneness. Here is where we find peace. This is how we awaken from the dream. We must be willing to step back from these false ideas and hand them over to our real Mind where these false ideas will be gently undone by the Light of our true Self. Each day, this is our practice. Let me step and let Spirit lead the way.

Holy Spirit to Annie: The Light that you are has never and will never lose Its radiance. Bringing that radiant Light into the dream is your assignment. This you do by shining the Light that you are on all your fear thoughts. They will be healed, you will be free and you will return to Love and peace.

Holy Spirit to Robert:  You distract yourself with fear thoughts and attempt to control the world you have made. Because you have made this world of images, you experience these images as if they were real and you react to the images accordingly. Yet images are symbols and have only the meaning you give them. Withdraw the meaning and you no longer feel a need to respond to them.

This is what forgiveness does for you. Forgiveness withdraws the meaning you have given to meaningless symbols. This is why it is so important for you to recognize that you give all the meaning that all your perceptions have for you. It is why it is equally important for you to recognize that on your own you have no idea what the real meaning is of anything.

Whenever you are not experiencing perfect peace, quiet joy and limitless Love, you are believing in a false meaning, a false image. This is why it is essential for your peace of mind that you form the habit of walking with Me in every moment, letting Me show you the meaning of each moment. This is the walk of forgiveness. This is the walk that will lead you to the full remembrance of your Self, your Home, your Source. Everyone must do this in one form or another, for it is in the complete relinquishment of all the meaning you have given all you perceive that you will know complete freedom from fear and full awareness of the Love you are.
