You know how you can have one of those days when, spiritually, you are just on a high? I was having one of those days.
I had asked the Holy Spirit for a new way to see something that morning and had received an answer. I had shifted from a problem to the answer, not through thinking, but through grace. I asked and it was given, and I was flying! Just in joy and peace.

I turn to God and there I find my guidance. Today, this is my perfect lesson. Lesson 261 — God is my refuge and security. The following words tell me what I need to know right now.
I live in God. In Him I find my refuge and my strength. In Him is my Identity. In Him is everlasting peace. And only there will I remember Who I really am. W-p II.261.1:4-8

“I want the peace of God. To say these words is nothing. To mean these words is everything.”
“The peace of God is realized and accepted based upon the power of your own decision. It is up to you. You may choose the peace of God, and you may choose turmoil. You make your choice based upon the desire that seems dearest to you.”

Recently I had an experience that filled me with gratitude for the inspiration from Holy Spirit. One of the things that needed to be done as part of preparing the house for sale was to fill an 8 inch hole in a basement concrete block wall.

Wholly awake I Am.
In the arms of my
Father, I reside.
Yet in dreams I wander. Lost, alone, and afraid. Searching for what was never lost.
Yearning for a Home I never left.

I ran to You so fast and hard,
I couldn’t catch my breath.
I threw myself on You and
told You a story of demons.
July - September, 2008
In silence I return.
I need this breath of Love.
I choose silence.
I choose this breath of Love.
Spirit with me now…
The Presence of Love enters…

I was at Pathways of Light this past weekend for a workshop with Regina Dawn Akers and Laurent Elie Levy. It was a very inspiring workshop and I felt my heart open to their teachings. Regina is the scribe for The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament. I study this scripture as I do A Course in Miracles. It was wonderful to hear Regina and Laurent teaching from it, but it was equally wonderful to share this experience with the others who came to the workshop.

Introduction: Gary Renard underwent a powerful spiritual awakening in the early 1990s. As instructed by two ascended masters who appeared to him in the flesh, he wrote his first best-selling book, The Disappearance of the Universe, over a period of nine years. He was later guided to speak in public and has recently been described as one of the most interesting and courageous spiritual speakers in the world. Gary’s second book, Your Immortal Reality, was also a best-seller.
Over the past five years, Gary has spoken in 40 states, 13 countries, and was the keynote speaker at the International A Course In Miracles Conference in Salt Lake City and San Francisco. He is also the most recent recipient of the Infinity Foundation Spirit Award. The award is given to a person who has made a meaningful contribution to personal and spiritual growth. Past recipients include Dan Millman, Ram Dass, Gary Zukav, James Redfield, and Neale Donald Walsch.

Since I have been a student of A Course in Miracles (ACIM), I have noticed there is some disagreement about whether Holy Spirit provides guidance in the world or not. I can only speak from my experience, but my experience has taught me, “Yes, Holy Spirit provides specific guidance in the world.”
Some students of ACIM may ask, “Why would Holy Spirit provide guidance in the world when the world is not real?”

Holy Spirit, speak to me about how A Course in Miracles says, “The world is not left by death, but by truth … “ (T-3, VII. 6:11)
Beyond the body is an illusion of peace, but peace will not be found here while your mind is ransacking itself. No mind without God can envision a beyond the body experience. God will appear to enter your illusion upon death and afterwards; in reality there is no place to enter. Upon death’s entrance into your life in this world, nothing changes unless you decide otherwise. Your mind does not need your current version of your body to have cause and effect.

We all are conscious that we have needs, needs that perhaps are not yet fulfilled and ones that are. And we don’t want to lose those things that we have so far acquired do we? Unconsciously we set up expectations and strategies that the ego uses to protect and defend them. Realizing this you can ask then, what are your perceived needs? Do they include increased income, a home, an experience, to be a parent, more love, family, status or approval?
It’s not until we’ve arrived at a point of trust in the Holy Spirit that we can begin to see that there exists an illusion of needs and truly understand why this is so. Until then, we resist the idea that any perceived need (other than forgiveness and waking up) is not real.

I shouldn’t be surprised when I catch myself making plans again. I seem to wax and wane in terms of allowing Spirit to show me what to do and planning on my own.
I can make plans in my mind all day and not even be aware of what I’m doing. I am surprised by this but I accept it. I’m surprised because when I can see clearly, I gladly give up my ideas and patiently know I will be told what to do. I feel so happy when I do this and I think I’ll never resort to planning on my own again but I seem to continue to take a detour into illusions.

There is a young woman I do not like. I find it disturbing because usually I would say there is this particular thing about this person I do not like and from there I work with it until whatever it is in me has been forgiven. But I could only look with dislike on this person and be very uncomfortable.
I finally mentioned it to a couple of people hoping something would pop up. I know I am projecting. That I recognize something in her can only mean that I am familiar with it. Either I have done it before and failed to forgive it in myself or I do it now and am repulsed by my own behavior and so try to get rid of it by tossing it onto her.
