Let Yourself Be Lifted Up

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Let yourself be lifted up to see the Love that is always there. You cannot do this with the false mind that thinks it is separate and alone. Surrendering, or being willing to let go or forgive all that you have made, is how it is done. When you let go, you open the door for your true Self to do it for you.

Your function now for true success is to forgive or let go. Quit trying to do it on your own. It will not work. Give it up. Instead, put your inner Teacher in the driver’s seat. Let go of all you think you know. Become as a little child and be willing to follow. Soften and relax, knowing that your inner Teacher knows the way that will work.

The truth is that you are Love immersed in Love because only Love is real. But right now you do not know it because you have insisted on thinking on your own. Let go and you will find God. Let go and you will see that all that is real is already yours. Let go and you will see that everyone is already Home, along with you. Let go and let yourself be lifted up to see the Love that is always there.

Robert:
Today we read in the Text of A Course in Miracles, “…decide against deciding what you want, in recognition that you do not know. …Leave all decisions to the One Who speaks for God, and for your function as He knows it.” (T-14.IV.5:2,4)

If I want to be truly happy, I need to fully accept that of myself I have no clue as to what will make me happy. Happiness cannot be found in any form in the world. Happiness is found only in fulfilling the function given me by God — to extend Love, always. The old habit has been to think that if only circumstances were a certain way, if only a certain person behaved a certain way, if only a desired event happened at my designated time and place in the way I prescribe, then I would be happy. But all these wishes are based on forms in the dream that have no content of their own. They are meaningless of themselves. The mistaken belief that there is value in these forms is what makes it impossible for me to make meaningful decisions on my own.

I really do want to be happy. I really do want the peace of God. I really do want to love my brother as God loves. But believing in a world of images stands as a barrier against allowing this into my experience. All that I really want is already mine, given me by God. To know this I must let go of the barriers. To let go of the barriers there is only one thing to do: Offer them all to the One Who knows what to do with them, my inner Teacher.

So today my practice is to be mindful of my attempts to find happiness in form and offer them to the Holy Spirit. He will help me let go of the mistaken thoughts and recognize the reality of the Love that is in everything I see.
