Who Is My Interpreter?

Holy Spirit to Mary:
You want to wake up from the dream of separation. You want to accept the truth. To do this, you must be willing to lay the story down, for the story is not true. The dream of separation from your Source could never be true. Your eternal Spirit is what is true.

Trying to fix the problems in the dream is never the answer. It will not bring you what you want. As you get involved in fixing one problem, there is always another one that follows it. In the ego’s world, the problems are endless, because conflict is what keeps the ego’s “life” going. The answer that truly works comes as you are willing to lay the ego’s stories down.

As you are willing to open your mind to receive the peace of your true Self, the way is made for you to feel the truth of your reality. As you allow the Holy Spirit’s gift of peace to be received more and more, the ego stories automatically fall away. They become meaningless. The peace and joy you feel contain all meaning and the inner knowing that you are eternally free is present in your mind.

Let yourself receive this gift today. Your true Self is always present in your mind, waiting to return your mind to the truth. As you are willing to get off the merry-go-round of separation, in quietness, you see that the Truth is eternally there. There is no efforting. There is only peace. You have your answer and you are saved.

Robert: 
Yesterday it seemed that some things went wrong: The sewer backed up and my email stopped working in the middle of a large email project. The ego would label these as “wrong” because they weren’t in the “plan.” These events were neither right nor wrong, good nor bad. How I interpreted them depended upon whose hand I was holding.

To the ego it meant it is time to rally the defenses and interpret it as an attack, an interference with the plan. The ego quickly set about trying to figure out how to fix the circumstances quickly and get on with the plan. But because the circumstances were perceived by the ego as an adversary, this approach was not peaceful. It brought with it tension, impatience and frustration.

But when I was willing to step back and allow the Holy Spirit to be my interpreter, the events and circumstances were no longer seen as opponents. I could relax in peace. The events did not change, but my perception of them did. In peace I could let the means for resolving the situations come to mind. Not only did I relax and feel greater peace, but the solutions started falling into place. The sense of conflict dissolved. It was a good demonstration to me that I give everything all the meaning it has for me.
