Let Yourself Be Carried Today

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Give time to God today… Put all time in God’s Hands… God’s plan of awakening is not the ego’s plan. Today practice letting go and letting God heal your mind…

Let yourself soak in God’s Love today… Let yourself receive and extend God’s peace… This is what celebrating Christmas is really all about. Relax and let the Light of Love fill your heart and mind… This is your purpose for today and every day.

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Imagine you are being carried in a hammock lined with a down comforter…. It is so soft that you are hardly aware of the presence of the hammock. You are being carried by angels whose steps are so light that you are not aware of their steps at all. You seem to be gliding effortlessly…. The hammock holds you securely like a cocoon and you feel completely safe…. As you glide along you feel yourself relaxing more and more into that soft, comforting safety….

You look around you as you glide along and you recognize faint images from the past. They represent what you have let go. As you move along, the images become more distinct. You realize these represent what you are letting go but still have some lingering wish to hang on to. But the angels continue to carry you and as you move on, those images fade into the distance. You realize that the angels are helping you accelerate your letting go. You feel yourself relaxing more deeply as these images pass by and fade in the distance….

You realize that there are more than just two angels carrying you. They are all around you and beneath you, supporting and guiding you. You feel the safety of their changeless Love…. You see the way becoming lighter and lighter…. You gently settle into deeper and deeper peace as you feel the mighty Companions Who are gently carrying you Home….

Whether you are aware of it consciously or not, this is your journey now. This Help is with you always. You will let all images go because it is your will to do so. Let yourself be carried today by letting yourself settle into peace.

Accept and Extend God’s Gifts

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Remember you are the extension of God’s Love. Everyone you look upon who seems to be separate from you is contained within God’s one extension of Love. The appearance of separate bodies disguises the unity of the Sonship. Look past appearances today and see the Love that unites you in Its oneness. Love makes no distinctions. Love is complete and so it makes no demands and knows not of lack. Love cannot be contained because Its nature is to extend eternally. This is What you are, have been and always will be.

Invite your brothers to join you in this Love by forgiving them your illusions…. Let go of all your past beliefs of what you thought you were and let Me show you What you are by showing you What your brothers are…. See the Light in them and recognize It in yourself…. Feel the joy in them and experience it in yourself…. Rest in their peace, for it is yours…. Practice this today and you will be carried Home to the certainty and peace of your Creator.

Holy Spirit to Mary:
You demonstrate the true meaning of Christmas when you accept God’s gifts. God shares all of Himself with His one Son. Accept the truth today and let the veil of separation be lifted. You, along with every brother, are still God’s perfect Son, perfect in every way, reflecting His Love to All That is.

Peace and joy are yours today as you accept and extend God’s gifts. It is worth the vigilance. This is the true meaning of “Peace on earth, good will toward all men.” Accept and extend the true meaning of Christmas today and you will experience that God’s happiness and peace are yours to receive and give.

Peace In the Eternal Now

Robert:
I want to see my brother as he Is — as Love and nothing else. I want to see myself as I am. These two statements are the same, for there is only one Self. A Course in Miracles tells me that the body’s eyes can only show me separation. So to see my brother and myself as the one Self we share requires another way of seeing — the Holy Spirit’s vision.

The body’s eyes will always see signs of vulnerability, lack and loss. To know the peace of God I must accept the Holy Spirit’s vision in my mind as all I want. The world still holds some attraction to me, for I still spend much of my day with opinions about what situations and events mean. But the means to be free from that is in my mind. I need only prefer the Holy Spirit’s vision in place of what the body’s eyes show me.

My practice today is to pay attention to Holy Spirit’s vision. It is the path to peace.

Holy Spirit to Mary:
The whole way out of dreaming dreams of separation is to let go of the past and let go of the future, and remember the Eternal Now is the only “time” there is. Today focus on the Eternal Now. Allow in the idea that you are eternal Spirit That is still as Love created you. And every brother is there with you in the Eternal Now as the perfect Son of God, unchanged and wholly innocent.

Today let yourself soak in the idea that you are eternal Spirit, safe in Love of God. You rest in God, along with every brother. Dreams are not fearful when they are seen through Christ’s vision. So today, let go of the past and future, and let the eternal presence of Love be your only Guide.

All I Really Want Is the Peace of God

Robert:
All I really want is the peace of God. I want to remember that I am at Home in Love. When I am identified with the ego thought system, I still look for Love and peace. But the ego directs me to look where it can’t be found. All my judgments and opinions are simply statements about where I think I can find peace and happiness. I will be at peace if this situation looks the way I want it. I will feel loved if that person behaves the way I want them to. The list goes on and on, for the ego can make up myriad forms to substitute for the one, united Love of God.

But all I really want is the peace of God. God has already given me everything that He is. To recognize this I must accept it. To accept it I must let go of the ego made substitutes that simply delay and divert my awareness of the ever present peace that is in me. Forgiveness is the way that I let go of those false substitutes and welcome God’s gift.

And so today is another day for the moment-by-moment practice of laying all my ideas about how anything should be or look in the hands of the Holy Spirit. with willingness to receive His vision. I give thanks for the voice for God in my mind always ready to show me the way to experience the peace of God.

Mary:
Today my practice is to keep my mind open to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. I see a picture of an open door with Light streaming through. This Light brings peace to my mind and I remember that everything is all right. We are all safe in God’s one Mind of Love. Remembering this consistently is what today is for. And I give thanks.

Choosing Through the Holy Spirit

Robert:
In our reading in A Course in Miracles today, this stood out to me: “Choosing through the Holy Spirit will lead you to the Kingdom.” (T-6.V.5:1)

This is why the practice of stepping back and following Holy Spirit’s lead is essential to awakening. When I attempt to choose on my own, I have faulty, limited information to work with. Believing I am on my own keeps me from the awareness of the truth of the Kingdom. It limits me to what I am able to remember from the past and perceive through the body.

But when I choose through the Holy Spirit, I choose to accept His limitless vision. Every choice I make through the Holy Spirit teaches me of the limitless of Love and the peace of God, because that is the only lesson the Holy Spirit teaches. So every choice is a choice between limitation and limitlessness. When I am vigilant to choose through the Holy Spirit, I am vigilant for completion. I am vigilant for the Kingdom of Love.

Today is an opportunity to practice the happy choice of following Holy Spirit’s lead.

Mary:
Today it is my opportunity to relax and practice letting go of all I think I know. It is my opportunity to open my mind to Holy Spirit’s peace and quietness. In truth I, along with everyone, rest in God’s Mind right now. In God’s oneness we all abide for eternity. Letting myself remember this truth is my practice for today. And I give thanks.

Let Love Be My Interpreter

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Let go and let God… Let yourself be carried by the truth that all is mind in the Mind of God… Relax and listen to the truth…

Open to My gift of peace… Let God’s peace fill you up until it is overflowing and extends to the whole world…

Live in God’s peace today… Receive and extend Love as you live in God’s peace… Receive the blessings from your one true Self and know that these same blessings extend to everyone… Let this be your practice today.

Robert:
Today I heard a sound outside. Immediately I scanned through past experience trying to find a label for that sound. As I observed this I realized that if I was able to find a label, I would feel more safe. This is the way the ego works — interpret all things based upon past learning. When past learning seems to be insufficient, the next step is to go into defense mode. If I can’t figure out what it is, it might be dangerous. This process happens in a matter of seconds and is so automatic that most of the time I don’t even realize that it is going on. It is an automatic mechanism that maintains the seeming reality of the world.

If I want to experience the peace of God, I must be willing to step back from these ego trance scripts and open my mind to the Interpreter Who knows the past is not real and therefore sees everything in the present moment. Only Love is in the present, so the Holy Spirit sees everything through the eyes of Love. There is no possibility of loss nor change at all. Love sees only Itself reflected. It sees only innocence. Love is always at peace. This is what I want to experience. So today I choose to practice stepping back and letting the Holy Spirit interpret all things.

Two Advisors

Robert:
I always have a choice between two advisors. There is the Advisor Who knows all things, can see the effects of every choice throughout time, is kind and loving and always has my best interest in mind. The other advisor sees everything from the perspective of being separate and so it is defensive, fearful, has a severely limited awareness of the effects of its choices and ultimately wants me dead as the final confirmation that it is right.

The choice for which advisor to follow seems obvious. Yet all too frequently I choose the advisor that knows not about Love because I have deceived myself into thinking that somehow it has something to offer that I want — something I can call my own, a special identity and most importantly a body that I believe I am. This is why I seem to be in a world of form.

The message that I get from A Course in Miracles is that I am God’s Son (along with everyone), complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of His Love. I am not a body. To release myself from identifying with the body is to release myself to experience the infinite Love of God’s creation. This release is accomplished through forgiveness, because the body is a construct built upon the past. Forgiveness is letting go of the past and allowing myself to be fully present in the eternal now, where there is only Love.

My prayer today is to be willing to accept the guidance of the Advisor Who sees me as the Love I am and will guide me to see that Love everywhere.

Mary:
Today it is my opportunity to practice seeing the Light and Love beyond every form. In order to do this, I must be willing to not decide anything on my own. I must be willing to step back and be shown the truth, the Love that is really there. This is my practice for today and I give thanks.
