What Do I Want — Perfect Happiness or Separation?

Robert:  I’m learning that if I want to be happy, I need to get out of the way. God’s Will for me is perfect happiness. If I’m not experiencing that, then I must have made up some form of interference that blocks my awareness of God’s Will. It is I who is believing in it. I need to withdraw my belief in the false image of a self that could lack anything, that could in some way be other than God’s creation.

Every moment my experience is showing me what I am believing. If I’m not experiencing perfect peace and happiness, then I need to offer that moment to the Holy Spirit, acknowledging that I thought I wanted this experience. But I was mistaken. What I really want is to awaken to my Self. Holy Spirit will gladly accept my offering and wash it clean of false beliefs and wild imaginings. The Holy Spirit will return to me only what is real—Love and nothing else. This is a process of forgiveness, of letting go of past beliefs and accepting my Self as It was created by God. That is all that time is for in the Holy Spirit’s purpose.

Mary:  This morning my mind is swirling in many different directions. Yesterday we showed the property to a very interested party. We also know that there is another very interested party that will be returning to see the property again this week.

We are also in the midst of preparing the next issue of Miracles News and readying the gifts of gratitude for members contributing to the support of Pathways of Light. Within the next few days we will be sending out the annual membership renewal mailing and we are getting all the pieces ready for the mailing.

This morning I take all these things that are showing up in the dream and I place them on the Holy Spirit’s altar. I let my mind quiet and remember that I know nothing and that I do not know what is in my best interest. It is only the Holy Spirit in my mind That knows what is in the best interest for everyone concerned.

I sit in quiet and listen. I allow myself to receive Holy Spirit’s gift of peace. I am quietly reminded that in my true Self’s world, all has all. I am quietly reminded that this is my true Home now. I am quietly reminded that I live eternally in the Mind of God and nowhere else. I am reminded that even though it does not appear to be so, everyone in the dream is still safe in the Mind of God and could never be on the distant shore we are all dreaming about. I am reminded that everyone is still in the Mind of God and could never leave. I am reminded that there is only One Mind that we all share and That Mind is always there waiting for us to remember (re-member), rejoin. I am reminded that I don’t have to wait to re-member. I can make the choice to remember now.

And with this willingness to re-member comes the feeling of confidence that Love is here now, that eternal happiness and joy and peace are here now. It’s not something that will happen next week or next year. It is always now, as I am willing to re-member (reconnect) with the truth. I see that the fullness of God is always available to us. What do I want right now? Am I willing to accept the truth of what is here right now? Am I willing to be aware of Love’s Presence right now?

As I look at the dream story from this remembering, I see that all the little stories just don’t really matter. Allowing the awareness of God’s peace matters. Allowing the awareness of God’s Love and happiness matters. There is such a full feeling of safety and abundance that comes with this remembering. There is also a feeling of confidence that everything is unfolding in the dream in perfect order. I don’t have to try to make anything happen. I merely step back and allow in the awareness of Love’s Presence. That is all I need. That is all I want.
