Step Back

Robert:
I place all my thoughts, opinions and judgments on Holy Spirit’s altar. They represent a false self I have believed I am. I do not know what anything means or what anything is for. Trying to interpret anything on my own simply interferes with my happiness. Trying to interpret or understand anything with the limited information allowed by the false self simply leads to frustration, disappointment and dejection.

But when I turn all this over to the Holy Spirit and wait in peace for His interpretation to replace my feeble attempts to judge, I find relief, peace and quiet joy. The joy comes because, with the Holy Spirit, I see the Light of the world shine through every appearance. Appearances become insignificant and the Light is all I want to see. My brother becomes a shining star that shows me the Light of the one Self we share. It brings a happy reunion that unites me with my brother and my Source in limitless Love. As I lay my thoughts on Holy Spirit’s altar and step back, I open the door to the gift of Love.

Mary:
As I open my mind to Spirit, the thought comes in that I rest in God… and that everyone rests in God along with me…

I can relax now… no need for efforting or trying to decide on my own what is helpful or not helpful… I need do nothing but step back and listen… the Holy Spirit does it all… There is no separate “I”… there are no separate people… all is continuously safe in the one Mind of God… This is my focus today.

Joining with Holy Spirit

Robert:
Today my job is to focus on the Love in every brother, in every circumstance. Only the Love is real. Everything else is just an appearance perceived through the body’s senses or an image in the mind. As I let Holy Spirit be my interpreter in each moment, appearances fade in value and the presence of Love is increasingly recognized and accepted. Today I choose the Holy Spirit’s vision in place of my own interpretations. Thus will I experience Love’s blessing.

Mary:
This is my prayer today: Holy Spirit I pray that I step back consistently today and open to your healing thoughts. I pray that I trust in Your strength and not my own. I pray that I open to Your peace, Your patience, Your gentleness. Only Your Will, Holy Spirit, only Your Will is my prayer today.

With Peace Comes Certainty

Holy Spirit to Robert:
You are eternally safe in the heart of Love. As you walk through the day in the world of dreams, it seems that there are many decisions to make. The choices may seem complicated and you may be uncertain about which choice is best. This uncertainty occurs because of the ego’s conflicting goals. These goals are not yours and they do not serve you.

The Holy Spirit’s goal is always certain because it is one. It is the Holy Spirit’s function to lead you back to the full remembrance of your Home in Love. Step back from the ego’s goals. Take time to return to the Source of peace within you and accept the Holy Spirit’s goal, for in truth it is yours.

As you let loose of the ego’s artificial values, every decision becomes as clear as a sunbeam lighting your way. You accept the Holy Spirit’s certainty as your own. Let this be your focus today and you will share the Holy Spirit’s certainty and Love.

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Focus on accepting God’s peace today. Let yourself feel the comfort and safety it brings. Let yourself be aware of its gentleness and certainty, erasing all doubt from your mind. Let accepting peace be your priority today and you will be extending peace to the world. This is your function today.

Let Your Mind Be Still

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Allow time for quiet… Let your mind be still… Open to the Light of truth… Relax your hold on the dream story of separation… Let Love’s stillness fill your mind… Let the comfort and peace of Love fill every concern… Give time to resting in God… Give time to accepting God’s peace and joy… Remember you are safe as God created you and that nothing has happened to change what you are eternally… Let yourself remember that you rest in God today…

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Let peace carry you today. Peace opens the door to true vision. In peace you see past images to the Love that is in all things and is everything. There is no conflict in peace, for there is no judgement in peace. Let peace carry you in each moment today.

Peace First

Robert:
My prayer today: Holy Spirit, I give You all my opinions and judgments and goals. They do not serve me. Help me to see as You see. I want only to join in Your purpose. The world was made for a goal I no longer want. I choose instead the function You give it, which brings me back to my Home in Love. I walk with You in gratitude today.

Mary:
Today it is my practice to open to the peace of God that is always in my mind, waiting for my acceptance. By being willing to join with the peace of God, I will receive the inspiration I need in the moment. Peace first.

Content with Love

Mary:
This is my prayer today: I choose to remember that I remain as God created me. This is accomplished by seeing the Christ in every brother. This is accomplished by accepting the peace that every brother is. Love is simple and uncomplicated. In Love there is nothing to fear. I choose to remember that I am immersed in Love today. I choose to remember the Love that every brother is today. I choose to be content with Love. Amen.

Robert:
I rest in the changelessness of Love today. Changeless Love is my Home. It is What I am. Any thought of fear, limitation or lack simply comes from believing I am not Love. Today I will join with Holy Spirit in my mind to see the Love in every brother and thus remember the Love I am.

Be Content

Holy Spirit to Robert:
Be content with Everything. God has given you all of Himself. There is nothing else to have. Discontent of any kind means only that you have not accepted what you have been given and is already yours.

Rest in Everything. Rest in your Self. They are the same. You perceive a world of separate images because you believe you are not your Self. Yet within you the Self you are remains at peace and offers you a haven from the fevered dreams that show you a world of limitation. Rest in your Self. Rest in Everything. Remember that this place of rest is always in you, ever present as you walk through your day.

Frequently today, remind yourself as you consider an image of any kind — be it a computer activity, a thought about a friend, a building, a machine, a personality — that you have and are Everything. Nothing can change that. To every temptation, respond with the thought “I have and am Everything.”

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Today practice stepping back and letting yourself be carried. Remember that you need not do anything on your own. Let the Me guide you all through the day. Another way to say this is to let peace lead the way. Choose peace and follow where peace leads. Follow simple uncomplicated Love. Let the Me be in charge of your day and your day will be filled with peace and joy.
