Remember…

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Remember why you are here. Your only meaningful purpose is to remember the Love you are. Nothing else matters because nothing else is real. You need to remember Love because you have taught yourself to forget it. You have taught yourself that you are without Love. You believe this so you perceive images of lack of Love. These appear in many different forms but they all reflect an underlying belief that you are without Love and are therefore alone. This could not be farther from the truth but your belief in separation leads you to experience separation as real.

With belief in separation comes lack of trust. It is impossible to trust what you believe is apart from you. This is why you do not trust Me, you do not trust your brothers, you do not trust the world. You see a constant need to protect yourself because you are unaware that all your needs are truly met.

You are in a process of learning that the things in the world that you thought would give you strength and safety and comfort can never satisfy you. You are learning that the forms of the world have no meaning. They are just empty shells so they could never satisfy. This is very unsettling to you because you are beginning to recognize that nothing you have valued in the past has any real value.

The circumstances you are experiencing right now are unsettling only to the extent that you have treasured form over content. Yet only the content has meaning and the only true meaning is Love. Remember that all you really want is to be the Love you are and extend It. That is how you know you are complete. You know you have Love by giving Love. You know you are Love by extending Love because in truth having and being are the same.

You have had a blessed opportunity to meet a brother in distress because of perceived loss and to answer that distress with Love. Here is true meaning. This is how you learn you are Love and that distress has no real cause. Let go of form and let the expression of Love be your goal. That is your purpose. That is how you will awaken. All your needs have already been met. As you step back and let Me guide you in each moment, you will see your completion reflected in the world.

I know you are complete. I know you are only Love. Let go and let Me show you What you are. Do not decide on your own what form you need to reflect your completion. Form is meaningless. But you believe you are in a world of form and I will guide you to the forms that reflect your completion without reinforcing belief in separation. The more you let go of your judgments about how it should look, the easier it will be for Me to show you What you are.

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Remember that God is constant. Remember that God is changeless. God is peace. God is Love. God is joy. God is happiness that does not change with circumstances perceived in the world. You are only in God and of God in truth. Truth is eternal and you are eternal. You are the eternal Light of God. This is your true Home. This is your inheritance. Let What you are and Where you are return to your awareness.

Let yourself rest in God today. Let yourself receive God’s gift to you today. Let yourself remember you are God’s Son and no dream of separation can change What you are in truth. Give today to God and let yourself soak in this remembering today.

Be Light Hearted

Be Light Hearted
Robert:
Let go. Let go. Let go. This has been a daily theme for me for quite a while. The old habit of planning for the future and attempting to figure out what to do is deeply ingrained. But just like the grand canyon became a mile deep through steady wearing away, that old habit can be “worn away” with daily vigilance to step back and let peace lead the way.

I’m grateful that it doesn’t have to take a million years. I’m also grateful for the Holy Spirit’s patience to be ever present and ready to offer me guidance whenever I am willing to open the door even a little crack.

I am seeing the blessing that comes with letting go. More and more I am experiencing an easier flow of events and inspiration that helps me move through what I used to perceive as problems more easily and quickly. Problems that used to come up regularly don’t come up as often. Those circumstances that do disturb me are more quickly walked through as I accept Holy Spirit’s help. I experience more and more peace at increasingly deeper levels in my mind.

As I practice loosening the world from all I thought it was, there is less resistance and increasing gratitude for the blessings I experience. The time we had with Sharyn here last week was a steady stream of experiences that brought a sense of blessing and gratitude. It reminded me that when I am willing to let go of my own planning, I experience the blessing of being carried by the Love of God. Thank you Father for Your eternal Love.

Mary:
An important lesson for me now is not to take the world too seriously. One practice that helps me with this is to consistently step back and relax. When I do this, I remember once again to choose Holy Spirit’s peace instead of the ego’s thought system of separate bodies being real.

When I do remember to practice choosing peace, the Holy Spirit is given an opportunity to enlighten my mind and bring me into a place of light heartedness. After all, the world is simply a dream and my one true function is to wake up from the dream through forgiveness or letting go of the false idea of separation. This does take time and now that is what time is for — the daily practice of opening my mind to Holy Spirit’s true perception.

I can relax now. I can remember to laugh and be light hearted instead of taking the world too seriously. Thank you Holy Spirit for always being there to help me wake up from the dream and remember that my Father and I are one. And every brother is one with God.

The Ride to Peace

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Let yourself be aware of Love’s Presence today… Practice letting yourself be aware of What you are and Where you are in truth…

Practice accepting the ever present flow of your Father’s peace… Let what is already yours into your awareness… Let your mind quiet by taking all thoughts that are not really yours to the altar of truth… Go frequently to your inner altar of truth and in quietness let your mind be healed… This is your practice for today.

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Walk with Me today. As you prepare to write an email, make a phone call, answer the phone, or any other activity, remember that I am with you. Let Me guide all your doing. Let Me guide your thoughts. Let me inspire your words.

When you put Me in the driver’s seat, you let Me show you the innocence and Love that is all about you. You experience the joy of extending Love and receiving Love. With Me at the wheel, you can relax. Leave the planning and the driving to Me. I know the way that will take you Home. Sit back and enjoy the ride to peace.

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.

A Day of Practice

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Nothing could disturb your peace unless you believe that you are weak and vulnerable. Nothing could make you feel guilty unless you believe you have harmed. There is no strength but God’s and, being Love, God is incapable of harm. You were created as God’s extension, still one with Him. Therefore you share His attributes: You are equally harmless and have all His strength. The belief that you are weak and capable of harm is mistaken and could never be true. It is this you must learn to remember.

Let today be a day of practice seeing the Love and strength of God in everyone you meet or think of. Hold your mind open to the Holy Spirit’s vision that will always show you the innocence and Love beyond all images of the world. Alone you will see lack and loss and limitation. With Holy Spirit’s vision you will see completion and freedom from limitation. Let this be a day of practicing accepting the vision of Love. It will be a day of joy.

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Let today be a day of practice in remembering to fully receive God’s peace. Watch your thoughts. Ask, does this thought reflect God’s peace? Does this thought reflect truth or illusion? Practice handing over every thought that does not come from the Holy Spirit in your mind.

Practice accepting God’s peace. Practice flowing with God’s river of peace all through the day. Let it carry you. Let it help you see the real world and remind you that only Love is here.

Let Yourself Be Carried Today

Holy Spirit to Robert:
You are being carried. Let yourself experience it, moment by moment. No effort is required, but vigilance is. Be vigilant for peace. Be vigilant to hold your heart and mind open to the lead of your true Self. Be vigilant to make no decision or plan for yourself alone.

As you practice keeping your little self image out of the way, you open the way for the limitless Love that you are to be reflected in the world you experience. The more you do this, the more you learn that you are not alone, that you are not separate from your Source. You learn that the thought system of separation offers you nothing you want. Everything you need and truly want is yours for the accepting.

As you accept the blessing offered you in every moment, you learn beyond all doubt that you cannot lose, that you cannot be alone, that you cannot be vulnerable. You learn that the strength of Love is yours, always. Let yourself be carried today.

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Go softly today. Let yourself be aware of the Light that resides in your mind. Let the Light of Love that is always in your mind lead you to the truth today. Let yourself be led to have a happy day.

Let Holy Spirit Do the Planning

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Let yourself remember that all is well. You are safe in the Mind of God and so is everyone. Think about that and let yourself feel this truth.

You are safe in the Mind of God now. Everyone you know is safe in the Mind of God now — eternally. No matter what “happens” in the world of separate bodies, even [the appearance of] death, everyone is safe. There is no birth and there is no death. Everyone is eternal. We are one Light eternally. We are the Light of God eternally.

You can relax now. You need not plan for your safety. Hand over everything into God’s loving Arms and let yourself be led as a little child is led in perfect trust. Your Father will never desert you and wants only for you to awaken to your true inheritance.

Breathe… Relax… Open to the peace that is beyond this world… Let yourself feel it… Be it… All is well.

Sharyn:
As we read A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 135 today, it really reinforced in my mind how my planning for the future or for my safety is really a defense against the truth. How could I ever think that I would know what is best for me, when One Who really knows and only wants what is best for me and for all is in charge? He only wants perfect happiness for me. He only has my highest good in mind when He presents plans or lays them before me.

It is up to me to go to Him for guidance before making any plans on my own, for of myself, I can do nothing. And why would I even want to do anything for myself when I have Him on my side? He will go before me, making sure my path is clear and there are no stones to trip on. He will make sure that only goodness and joy follow me all the days of my life. He will show me what true tranquility, peace and Love really are.

Robert:
This last few days since Sharyn has come to visit has been a steady stream of inspiration and synchronicity that have demonstrated again and again that we are in the right place at the right time. It has been an easy flow of experiences that have been joyful and blessed. It is clearly demonstrated that when we put effort aside and hold our hearts and minds open to Spirit’s lead, we are always in the right place at the right time.

Not only have we experienced great joy and blessing, but we have received a wonderful affirmation that we are truly being carried, always. Our job is to let go of self-made plans, step aside and let the One Who knows what will serve the awakening of the whole lead the way. There is nothing to “get,” but everything to “let.” That is how we receive the inheritance given us by our Source. My heart is filled with gratitude.
