Mary: The sentence that stands out to me today as we read Lesson 153 is, “Each hour adds to our increasing peace as we remember to be faithful to the Will we share with God.”
I feel an area that I need to work on as I go through the day is to consistently accept God’s peace and extend God’s peace. It still seems like I have ups and downs, when I am forgetting that I am God’s Son and completely safe in every way. There are still times when I forget that I am only God’s Love and that I am in Heaven now.
I am being brought to the awareness that I still need more practice in this area. I get wrapped up in the world’s stories far too easily it seems. So this sentence had a lot of meaning for me. The Holy Spirit does not leave me comfortless and will remind me of the truth whenever I am willing to listen. I am willing now.
Holy Spirit: Smile! Absolutely, everything is unfolding in perfect order.
When you start worrying, you have jumped out of the present moment. This transition time will be much easier for you if you do this one thing: Remember the holy instant. The holy instant is eternal and changeless. The holy instant is your reality, now and forever. The holy instant is the only “real time” there is. In the holy instant you remember there is no past, there is no future. Love is eternally present, now and forever, unchanged by the ego’s constantly changing stories.
Sometimes it seems hard to believe this, but the holy instant is your only reality. Anything else is an hallucination and is not real. You want to be brought to the truth. Well, this is the truth. You are eternally safe in God. You are in God and of God. Nothing can change that. This is God’s Will and as you are part of God, it is your will. You are just coming to realize what your true Will is. This is a lesson worth learning.
As you learn this lesson, you will be brought to the awareness of the consistent peace that you are asking for. The stories will always be in a state of constant change which causes doubt and uncertainty. This need not be. You are now in a school where you are learning to choose the constant state of peace instead of the ego’s yo-yo world of uncertainty, doubt and fear. This is your lesson now.
You have the means to learn the lesson well. To learn this lesson you must be willing to step back from the constant flow of ego thoughts and look at these thoughts with Me. There together, we will see their foolishness. Together, as you join your mind with Mine, you will receive the truth of God’s constant peace and just naturally extend it to the world. This is your lesson now. Enjoy!
Sharyn: After opening the Course twice to the same page today, I knew the second time that I better look and see what it is that I need to learn today. As I looked on the page my eyes went directly to, “A healed mind does not plan. It carries out the plans that it receives through listening to wisdom that is not its own. It waits until it has been taught what should be done, and then proceeds to do it. It does not depend upon itself for anything except its adequacy to fulfill the plans assigned to it. It is secure in certainty that obstacles cannot impede its progress to accomplishment of any goal that serves the greater plan established for the good of everyone.” (Lesson 135)
When I read that, the word WOW! came to me. Who do I think I am that I could plan anything or carry out a plan that I thought of on my own? Of myself I can do nothing. And as I read that this morning, I had such a feeling of security and of being carried and taken care of so completely by my Father, Who wants only goodness and joy for me. Just knowing that He says any obstacles that I think are in my way are just a figment of my imagination, for there are no obstacles that will ever be put in my path or anyone’s path when the greater good for the awakening of all is the goal.
How blessed to be part of this great awakening and to know that I am being helped every step of the way. How wonderful it is to feel so excited about being able to fulfill my only purpose. How wonderful to feel that I am guided so beautifully by the One Who knows what is best for me and the good of all. Thank you God. I love you so much. Amen.
Robert: Yesterday we met with one of the the realtors for the third time. This time he brought his office manager and his marketing director with him. Our meeting was unlike any other business meeting I’ve ever participated in. The realtor began by going through part of his presentation, saying what they would do if we chose them.
It became very clear in our hearts through a sense of peace and inner joy that this is the organization for us to join with to accomplish this part of Holy Spirit’s plan. There was no need to waste time listening to the rest of his presentation. The certainty was already there. So we said, “You don’t need to go further. Let’s talk about how we can join together.” We talked about how our goal in this process of selling the Pathways property in Kiel is to serve the highest good of everyone, including Pathways, our neighbors, the township, the realtor team, the buyers and anyone involved in the process. We shared that we knew that if we hold this goal, each step will flow easily into place. After discussing necessary details, we closed with hugs all around.
Holy Spirit: I have said repeatedly that the form of the move is simply a setting for the lessons that are to be learned. The form of itself is unimportant. It is how the form is used in the service of awakening that is important. In that meeting you could see a little of how joining with a shared purpose to be helpful for all can have a healing effect for many, many people.
This is an opportunity to teach by demonstration. Your willingness to see in the three from the real estate office the love and innocence in them and the desire to be truly helpful teaches them and you of your shared innocence. Your shared one Self that is Love and nothing else.
You felt in the meeting a sense of being deeply blessed because you accepted the Love you are and saw it in your brothers. As you practice this, these experiences will become common place for you because they come from being your true Self. This is your most natural state because it occurs when you have let down your defenses against Love, Which is What you are.
