The Son of God Is One


Robert:
Yesterday one of the longest standing members of Pathways of Light made his transition out of the physical body. Richard Degnitz and his wife Minnie have been members here for more than 30 years. They have been married close to 70 years. I have been asked to officiate at his memorial service. I see a memorial service is an opportunity to bring healing to those who feel a sense of loss at a time like this.

When there is belief in a world of form, a sense of loss is inevitable. But the Course teaches us that forms are nothing and only Love is real. So this is an opportunity to help those who attend the service to remember the Love that is real and know Its eternal, changeless presence. I trust that Holy Spirit will guide in the way and the how to facilitate the awareness of Love’s eternal presence. This is where true comfort is found. This is where peace is found.

Holy Spirit through Robert:  The Son of God is one and cannot be divided. Healing comes to the separated mind as this simple truth is accepted. The Son of God is one. Herein lies your peace. What is one and indivisible cannot be threatened and cannot suffer loss. Certainty is absolute. Truth is unquestioned for what is changeless can be trusted as your foundation rock. There can be no greater certainty.

As this truth is accepted in the mind that thought it was separate, peace returns. Happiness returns. For the acceptance of truth is the acceptance of Heaven. Just as Richard has left behind the form that was limited and frail, you can let go of identification with the limited and frail image of a body as your identity. You are not a body. You are free. You are as God created you.


Mary:
  There are so many things going on in so many directions in our ‘life’ right now that it is more important than ever to remember to be open to Holy Spirit’s gift of peace. When the ego is in charge, it always gets quite complicated and difficult. Problems constantly show up because the ego thrives on having problems that can’t be solved.

The only way out of this chaos is to use this as an opportunity to connect with the Holy Spirit by willingly opening to receive Holy Spirit’s gift of peace. As I am willing to receive Holy Spirit’s gift of peace, inspiration comes with it. As I am willing to accept peace, it is like a connecting device to connect to an electrical outlet. I am able to receive peace only if I am willing to connect. So what must come first is my willingness to connect to peace. From there, all healing flows. From there all inspiration flows. There is no “twoness,” there is only oneness. My willingness to accept peace provides the answer to every perceived problem. It’s like putting the key into the ignition of a car and turning it on. My connection with Holy Spirit is made when I use the key of willingness to accept the peace that starts the flow of His inspiration.

With all these things going on in our lives right now, I see this as a wonderful opportunity to deepen the habit of going to peace and allowing the connection with the Holy Spirit to be strong before acting or moving on anything. If I am not coming from a place of peace, then the only other alternative is the ego. And the ego always leads to more and more problems because the ego hates peace.

The only choice I have is between the ego and the Holy Spirit. I make the choice of which I will join with by how much peace I am willing to accept. It is plain and simple. If I am not accepting peace and extending peace, then I am choosing the ego. When I do take the time to accept Holy Spirit’s peace, I am choosing to be connected with the Holy Spirit.

There is nothing more powerful than peace. When I have an open mind and allow peace in, I am letting the Holy Spirit into my mind. How I see the world changes. I am reminded that this world of separation is just a dream and could never be real in truth. With the Holy Spirit we can look at the dream and the antics of the ego and not take it so seriously. We can laugh a little and see the ego trauma drama stories as just stories. They are not real at all.

So as I walk through today, I am given another opportunity to strengthen the habit of returning to peace again and again and again. I know that this strengthens my connection with the Holy Spirit and that from there I will receive the inspiration I need in order to be truly helpful. That is my opportunity for today.
