Pay Attention to Your Thoughts

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Beware of the temptation to perceive yourself abandoned. God has not abandoned you. He could no more leave you than leave a part of Himself. You are part of Him and this will never change. Your belief that you have left God is the foundation for all perceived lack, loss and harm.

The thought that God could abandon you is simply a projection of your belief that you have abandoned Him. In truth you have not and cannot abandon God. But you can believe that you have, and make up an experience of being without God. This is experienced as terrifying because it seems as though you have lost your Life. Without God there is no Life. But the experience of lifelessness seems real to you because of your belief that you are separate from God. By God’s grace this could never be true. In this is your salvation.

It is time to give up childish dreams of isolation, loneliness and lifelessness. They do not bring you what you want. You want the peace of God. You want God’s Love. You want His joy. All these are already yours. No dream can bring you this. Dreams can offer only empty substitutes that cannot satisfy and only serve to deepen your despair.

Pay attention to your thoughts today. Do not tolerate any thought that is not peaceful, happy and loving. Offer any thought that does not have these attributes to Me. I will take it gladly. For each such thought you freely give to Me opens the door for the return God’s gift to you. That is My function. Yours is simply to offer Me each unforgiving thought, each dream fantasy of isolation and separation. What I return to you is a picture of peace, compassion and quiet joy. It is the real world that brings you to the gates of Heaven. Here God’s Love gently brings you Home to the unity of Love you never truly left. This is your heart’s desire. Let me bring you here today.

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Let go of your story. Let your mind be still. It helps to breathe deeply and relax your hold on the body… Let go… Let peace replace the tension you are still holding on to… Let yourself become aware that you are being showered with God’s peace. God’s peace is yours because you are in God’s river of peace… In truth, you are God’s peace… Accept the peace that you are… Let yourself become aware of the presence of peace residing in your mind… It has not left you, you have just replaced God’s Thoughts with ego thoughts… If you truly want to find the peace that is yours eternally, you will find it.

Let peace take over… Surrender to peace… Let go and let God… Let God’s gifts come into your awareness… Let yourself remember that you are still as God created you. You have not changed God’s one Son. Dreams cannot change Reality. Let simple, uncomplicated Love replace thoughts of individuality and conflict. Let the truth return to your awareness… You are safe… you are innocent… you are loved… you are Home.

Let the Truth replace your dreams of separation and lack today and you will see that peace and happiness are always yours to have and extend to the whole Sonship.
