Accepting Reality as Reality Is

Holy Spirit through Mary:  Waking up involves a process through which you are brought to the awareness that you are in Heaven now and that you never left. Waking up involves a process of letting go of your perceptions, your beliefs and what you think you are and what you think your brother is. Waking up is a gradual dissolving of fear and the return to the awareness that only Love is real.

You and everyone in the dream, because you are one, are in the process of waking up to the awareness of Love. With awareness of Love comes certainty and true peace of mind. You place your trust in reality and not illusions. Your security and safety lie in reality and not illusions. Reality is in your mind and not somewhere outside you.

Give time now to accepting reality as reality truly is. Step back and allow the Holy Spirit to give you the gifts that really matter, the gifts of peace and joy and awareness of Love’s Presence, which lies eternally right in your mind. Give all your time to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit knows how to use time wisely and will shorten your need for time as you are willing. Practice letting go and letting the Holy Spirit drive the bus.

Pause for peace, again and again and again. It is the means by which the Holy Spirit can open doors for you that will bring you more happiness than you can even imagine. Let the Holy Spirit heal your artificial values. Let the Holy Spirit guide you to true peace of mind. Let the Holy Spirit to let go of all that you think is real. Let the Holy Spirit guide you to the awareness that in truth you are in Heaven now and have never left.

Holy Spirit through Robert:  Use every moment as an opportunity to forgive. Practice being mindful of your thoughts and actions in each moment. Many of your actions are directed by choices you have made unconscious and are driven by unconscious guilt. Actions driven by guilt lead to delays, pain, unhappiness, sickness, anger and more guilt.

By observing your thoughts and actions you can learn to recognize when unconscious guilt is in charge. You can stop it in any moment. Recognition is the first step. When you observe yourself feeling frustrated because you can’t find something you had in your hand five minutes ago, know that this is a reflection of unconscious guilt. It is being acted out in the form of an experience of loss, not finding what you had in your hand.

Pause and forgive yourself. You might say, “I’m sorry. I love you. You are innocent.” Remind yourself that you do not need to punish yourself because you are not guilty. Take a deep breath and welcome peace into your mind. As you do this, you may find what you are looking for or you may find another way to move on and let go of the perceived need for what you sought. Either way you will have released self-punishment and moved a step closer to full acceptance of your complete innocence as God’s Son. This is what time is for.
