Robert:
Love is simple. Being one, It can see nothing else, being unable to conceive of anything but Love. As Love’s extension into the dream of separation, the Holy Spirit recognizes lovelessness, to which it has only one answer: Love.
Peace and happiness are characteristics of Love. Thus if I am not supremely happy and at peace, I must be denying Love. It is this denial that must be corrected and it is this correction that is Holy Spirit’s function.
When I think it is my job to resolve any perceived problem, I begin to make up plans that I think will help. I have noticed a characteristic feature of planning on my own — It usually brings with it a sense of complication that can lead to a sense of feeling overwhelmed with trying to figure it out.
This feeling is a valuable flag that brings to my attention that I am edging the Holy Spirit out and identifying with the ego thought system. It lets me know that it is time to turn over my plans to the Holy Spirit. It’s time to step back, step aside and let the Holy Spirit guide. This practice brings me back to peace, absolves me of the heavy load of trying to consider all the possible effects of my plans, and opens my mind and heart to the Holy Spirit’s inspiration. I notice my shoulders relax, my breathing is easier and happiness returns. Today I will practice again stepping back to let the Holy Spirit lead.
Mary:
Once again, today my only goal is the acceptance and extension of peace. In order to be consistent with this, it is helpful to frequently check my level of peace. Remembering that I rest in God helps. Remembering that I am being carried by the Holy Spirit helps. Remembering that I am just watching a movie helps. Remembering that I am still as God created me and that there is nothing my holiness cannot do helps.
Asking myself frequently, “What am I and Where am I in truth?” helps me stay connected with the Holy Spirit. As I am able to practice this with more frequency, the Holy Spirit brings me inspiration in the moment without effort. Thank you, God. I love you, God. All is flowing in perfect order and I give thanks.
