Recieving the Gift of Vision

Mary:  This is what came to me as I stilled my mind and asked Holy Spirit for insight: 

God is my Source. Vision is His gift. If I want to wake up from the dream of separation, I must be willing to receive the gift of Vision from my Source. If I am filled up with the images of being separate from my Source, there will be no room left for receiving the gift of Vision.

The key here for me is to allow time for God — allow time for the purposes of being open to receive the gift of Vision. This requires being vigilant with the practice of stilling my mind long enough — having an open mind to receive God’s Peace, God’s Love and God’s Joy. God’s gifts are always there for me, just waiting for my acceptance. So if I am not receiving these gifts it is because I am not making time for them. I am not leaving my mind open to receive them.

The Holy Spirit asks me to make room for God today — make room for letting the peace of God fill my awareness. It is from this place that I will receive the peace that makes way for the clear direction in how to be truly helpful today.

The following is a quote from a book soon to come out by Mary Gerard Lenihan titled, Visions of Illumination. It is particularly helpful to me and I wanted to share it with you:

“What do you really want? As Jesus said, ‘We cannot serve two masters.’ There are two paths and you are constantly choosing between the two every moment. Ask yourself this question and keep asking it. What do you really want? Notice who is answering the question. The ego’s list of wants is endless because not one of its desires fulfilled will bring you the happiness for which you seek. The desires of the world fulfilled lead to nothing but emptiness in the end.”

Robert:  If I would be happy, I must be willing to let Holy Spirit be my interpreter of everything I see and everything I experience. I must decide nothing on my own. When I attempt to judge for myself, I separate myself off from the Love that joins me with all things in happiness and peace. This is not what I really want. I really want to join in Love and know the joy of Heaven. I really want to be Home. Nothing else will satisfy me in truth.

Today I would practice choosing peace in every moment so that I am always open to Holy Spirit’s interpretation of all things in this world. That is how I will learn to let the world go and accept my place in Heaven.
