Freedom Awaits Our Choice

…the recognition of what needs to be done to free the mind of the self-induced madness in which it is seemingly caught is impossible without help from beyond the circle of insanity. How that help is given depends on your willingness to learn from the Holy Spirit, and the willingness to surrender your life, to turn it over. He is always available to you if you make yourself available to Him. An open, receptive mind, making decisions with His help, ever ready to be guided, always listening; such a mind easily receives the Holy Spirit’s direction and acts as guided. This releases the power of Spirit into your life, and the transformation of your mind is the inevitable result.

Do not let the habits of a lifetime continue to hold you prisoner. Freedom awaits your choice. Once that decision is truly made, and with the Holy Spirit’s help, nothing can stop you from attaining freedom. The choice for freedom is the choice for the Self, as the Self is forever free and beyond limits of any kind. The Self is Love, and Love cannot be bound; there is nothing that can hold It or obstruct It in any way. (From the Christ Mind Book II, pp. 161,162)

The choice to identify with the ego and the body as our identity is the choice for imprisonment.  It is an attempt to limit the infinity of Love to a tiny speck of dust. This limitation could only seem to be in dreams that deny our reality.

Having made the choice for imprisonment, we need to be willing to accept help from outside the self-made prison door to let ourselves be freed. The Holy Spirit holds the key that unlocks the door. When we are willing to accept His help to let go of our mistaken beliefs, He will gently open the door through which we can walk in gentleness and peace to our Home where we remember the limitless Love we are.

Today our prayer is: Holy Spirit, I would follow only You today. I would not lead.
