Step Back and Follow

Holy Spirit to Robert:
The ego wants you to believe that life in the world is like a chess game. You need to plan your moves well ahead with contingencies to protect you against your opponent’s moves. If you plan well enough and make the right moves, you win. This is the ego thought system in a nutshell.

The problem with this viewpoint is that all your planning is done with incomplete information so that you can never be certain of the outcome. This is another part of the ego strategy. It needs to maintain some sense of uncertainty so that you will continue to turn to it for help. What the ego doesn’t tell you is that it does not know how to guide you to permanently win the game — to wake up from the dream. 

There is another way of living in the world. This other way is led by One Who has all knowledge and is able to see the effects of every move throughout time to eternity. This One has only your best interests in mind along with everyone’s. This Guide leads you out of the game back to full awakening into your Home in Love. To receive this guidance you simply need to choose to make no plans or decisions on your own. You need only step back and let It lead the way.

Let this day be a day of practicing stepping back and letting yourself be led to freedom.

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Place your trust in God today. This means place your trust in Love… place your trust in peace… Hold on to nothing… Relax and let Me steer the boat… Let Me be in charge of your mind, which means being willing to let go of the past and future… I know that only Love is here now. Open your mind to receive My gentle presence of peace and Love…

You will know that you have received My awareness when you feel a deep, abiding sense of well being and safety and trust that all is well… I bring you to a state of mind where you easily let go and let God.

How you can serve My purpose just shows up ever so gently every moment of the day, and you happily follow. Follow this way of being today and it will be a happy day.
