Observing Fear Thoughts and Handing Them Over

Holy Spirit through Mary:  Observe the fear thoughts that come into your mind and then hand them over to Me. We can look at them together and you will be gently reminded of the truth that you are still safe in the Mind of God, no matter what fear thoughts may pass through your mind.

Allow these thoughts to be replaced with the awareness of peace. Allow this feeling of peace to take you deeper and fill you with an awareness that you are eternally safe, eternally loved and eternally loving. Allow everything to soften. Let yourself gently become aware that you are immersed in God’s Ocean of Love. You cannot be outside this Ocean, no matter what fearful dreams you may dream. Let yourself soak in the comforting ocean of peace. Rest a while with Me. Rest.

You have been concerned with how this move will be made in safety and in peace. These thoughts will come and go and come again. This is your opportunity to practice giving all these thoughts to Me each time they may arise. This is your opportunity to once again choose peace instead of fear thoughts. This is your opportunity to choose once again the peace of Heaven instead of the thoughts of the ego. This is your opportunity to practice once again handing over these thoughts. You would not keep them because you choose to wake up instead of remain asleep.

This becomes a wonderful time to strengthen your trust muscles. You are being carried. You need not try to handle things on your own. You are seeing that it is a waste of time. Give all time to me. I know how to use it to bring you true and everlasting happiness.

Let go. Relax. Soften. Welcome the Light of truth into your mind. You always get what you truly want and you truly want My gifts of peace and joy. We are one. Let this awareness soak in deeply. God is all and all is one. Let this awareness soak in deeply. Desire this awareness above all else and you will be truly helpful in the Sonship’s dream of awakening to the truth. You are Home now. Rejoice and be glad.

Holy Spirit through Robert:  Judgement always brings fear with it because judgment always brings guilt. Since guilt demands punishment, fear is inevitable where there is belief in guilt. You may not always recognize the fear as fear. Sometimes it appears to be anger, which is just an attempt to make another guilty instead of yourself. But you cannot see guilt outside without first seeing it in yourself. So though it may appear that you are judging someone else, this judgement started with a judgment of yourself.

Judgment always disturbs your peace because it is incompatible with peace. It is an attempt to attack God and His holy Son. While They cannot be harmed, when you judge you do believe you harm. So the guilt you attempted to project is reinforced still more in your mind. The statement, “judge not lest you be judged,” is simply saying that when you judge anyone, you judge yourself. Let all judgment go.

When you recognize that your peace has been disturbed in any way, step back. Ask for the Holy Spirit to bring His gentle peace to you. Open your mind to His vision. He will show you the Love that is present eternally, no matter what the appearances in form may be. He will show you the permanence of Love, where your safety lies. He will show you the innocence that is real because God created only perfect Love, which cannot sin, cannot attack, cannot harm.

If an appearance seems to reflect harm or loss in any way, step back and ask the Holy Spirit to help you see beyond the form, beyond the appearance. He will show you that the appearance simply reflects a mistaken thought that you could be anything but Love. And He will show you the Love you are and the Love that is all there is anywhere, any time. Let Him help you rise above to see the Love, always.
