The Circle of Peace

Mary:  This morning, when I went to Spirit, I started receiving a picture of all of us being surrounded by beings of Light. Without words I was told that their opportunity was to extend peace to us and our opportunity was to accept the peace they were extending. As we relaxed and opened up, we started receiving the gift of peace that was being extended to us. We let go of our fear thoughts little by little, relaxing every tense muscle. We let everything melt away and allowed our reception of peace to continue. We let the feeling of peace to deepen and expand to fill our whole being.

Our minds quieted. We felt a stillness, a completeness, a sense of all being well. We innately knew that all were included in this circle of peace. We received the message that we were always here in this circle of peace, whether we were aware of it or not. This is our eternal Home, which we cannot really leave.

In this stillness we received the message that it is from this place of peace in our minds that we find our inspiration in how to be truly helpful in the dream of separation. Here in this circle we know that every brother is included in this circle of peace, whether they are aware of it or not. Our job is to remember that this is true, rather than making anyone’s dream of separation real in our minds.

In this acceptance of peace, we feel safe and confident that all our answers to all our fears lie in accepting the fact that we are always in this circle of peace. We can consistently remember that only this is true. As we accept peace, we let go of our false belief in time and see that only the eternal is reality. We soften our hold on worldly thoughts by letting go of our identification with them. We see that they are only fear thoughts and that we no longer want them. We let our acceptance of peace replace these thoughts because our willingness and trust in accepting peace is gaining in strength. Our openness to peace is expanding. We appreciate the miracle mindedness that it brings. We accept the truth and extend the truth and see that this is where we are truly happy.

Holy Spirit to Robert:  You are God’s creation, His extension of Love. Nothing is capable of changing Love’s peace and joy. They are one. Love is one and changeless. If anything seems to disturb you, it is because you believe you are somehow disconnected from Love. This could never be in truth, but you can believe you are separate and you will experience what you believe.

Learn to recognize any lack of peace as simply a sign of a mistaken belief. Offer that to the Holy Spirit. Ask Him to shine His loving Light on it and help you to see past what is false and return the Light to your mind that is the peace of God. This is your only function. As you learn to practice this moment by moment, your dream will grow increasingly peaceful and happy, and you will remember more and more that only Love is real.

Live in Presence of Your Holy Self

Holy Spirit to Mary:  You always have whatever you need. Many times you will not think that this is so, but in your learning to let go of what never happened, you are learning that this is true. As you are willing more and more to let the truth return to your mind, you are letting go of your security blanket. You are letting go of what you thought would make you safe. You are letting go of the belief in separation.

With whatever seems to be ailing you, you can return to the truth through your willingness to be quiet and hand over all the thoughts that seem to fill your mind. You hand them over until there is nothing left, only a quiet stillness. This stillness provides an open door to the Light that is your real Mind. Here is how you receive the gifts inherent in your true Identity. Here is where your remembrance of joy and peace and happiness that never end lies.

Daily practice going to this place of stillness. It is through the stillness that the door is open to the Light. Bathe in the Light. Let It cleanse away all the false ideas that you have been clinging to. Be willing to let them fall away. Practice this today.

Self to Annie: Strength is a Divine quality of the Christ that you are. Be in the presence of your holy Self today and you will live in the strength and the Love and in the Joy of Christ. You will know deeply that you are an inextinguishable Light and you can rest in this.

Holy Spirit to Robert: Go gently through the day. There is no need to push or pull. Allow yourself to be carried.

Walk Gently in the Light of Love

Holy Spirit to Robert:  Walk gently in the Light of Love. This Light is in you always. Let it shine. It will show you the Love that is all about you and you will see Love’s reflection everywhere. As you walk in this Light you will know the true happiness God wills for you. There is no greater joy than to join in the oneness of Love.

Holy Spirit to Dorie: The Light of Love within your mind heals not only your mind, but transforms your world and the world of everyone around you. Walk forth in that Light. Be that Light to all before you.

Self to Annie:  Be silent today and let Me speak to you of Who you are.

Holy Spirit to Mary:  Step back frequently today. Relax, let go and listen to the still small Voice within. Let peace speak to you. Let yourself feel the peace that you are and from this sacred place within, let yourself be carried.

Holy Spirit to Sharyn:  Accept the gifts of peace and joy today. God’s gift to you is perfect happiness and you will feel happier when you accept peace and joy. Allow any thought of separation to just fall away. Allow any barriers to love to fall down. Allow yourself to experience the peace and joy of God today. His gifts are inherently yours. They are your birthright. That is who you really are.

Remember some called Jesus the prince of peace. Since Jesus and you are one, you are the princess of peace. As you walk with Jesus today, remember the peace that you are. If you forget and are out of peace for any reason, immediately think of Jesus carrying you to a place of peace.

Holy Spirit to Dorie: Let today be a day of relinquishment. Let the healing waters wash your mind. Let peace flow through you like a river, extending healing, extending peace to all around you. Remain in peace. See the world through Spirit eyes.

I Am Under No Laws But God’s

Robert:  When I remember that I am under no laws but God’s, happiness abounds. I know I am safe. I know I am loved. I know I am fulfilling my only function. All I can see is Love because God’s law is Love. Love’s gift is always happiness. Living the law of God means total immersion in the joy of loving. There is no greater joy. Today I will focus my attention on the fact that I am under no laws but Love’s.

Annie:  It is so clear to me today that I don’t need to go to my body for safety, but to my mind where I will find the truth that God placed there. I am totally safe in the truth and that is what knowing that only God’s laws apply is telling us. I really want to make that shift today from the world’s laws to God’s laws. I want to do this for myself and for everyone.

Holy Spirit to Sharyn:  Peace and understanding come when you abide by God’s laws. When you truly understand that God’s laws are only for your highest good and nothing else, you can let every other thought go.

My thoughts mean nothing. Asking for God’s Thoughts and giving His Thoughts all the meaning that everything has brings total peace and understanding to the quiet mind.

When we truly realize how much peace comes to us by living under God’s Laws, our lives become more peaceful, more meaningful. We laugh more and we truly realize that God’s Will for us is only true happiness.

Mary:  Today I see that my practice is to let the veil of separation be lifted. This is true forgiveness. As I forgive, I am freed from the bondage of belief in separation. I under no laws but God’s.

What Is Happiness?

Robert:  Happiness is not knowing what anything is for. Happiness comes with a clear and open mind, willing to receive. Happiness comes with a mind that has let go of the past and is willing to experience the present. Today I would be happy.

Holy Spirit to Sharyn: Resting in God means just that. Allowing Jesus to carry you, allowing yourself to be carried means just that. Every moment be aware of your level of peace and be aware that you are being carried from one task to another. I will carry you to the next step or the next job or the next thing that you are to do.

Go through your day having no agenda, no need to call this person, need to ship that, need to answer this email. Nothing. I will lead you to the next thing. I will lead you and effortlessly your packages will ship, your bookkeeping will get done, your phone calls will get made. Whatever I have planned for you that day will get done at exactly the right time and in the right manner.

At the end of your day you will be very surprised how smooth and effortless the day has been and how much you accomplished. The reason being that you allowed Me to lead you there.

Please practice today allowing Me to lead the way and you just follow. My will for you is perfect happiness and peace. Why would you not allow someone Who has that in mind for you to lead you? Today we will walk together in abundance, knowing we have it all. All things are taken care of and you are whole, perfect and complete exactly as you are. Let Me be your boss today. Let Me be your guide. Let Me be your everything. I accept the job. Bless you. Amen.

Holy Spirit to Dorie:  True happiness is not a feeling of ecstasy, a vision of bright Light. True happiness is perfect peace, a calm knowing that I hold your hand wherever you go, a knowing that I have prepared a place for you in My heart. Our hearts are one. Amen.

Self to Annie: The path of the heart is the only path. Follow it and it will take you on a joy ride with God.

Mary:  In the Course this morning, I read, “You see the flesh or you see the spirit.” Today my practice is to hand over my seeing to Christ vision. There I will gently be reminded that the Spirit of Love is all there is to see. The Hand of Love is all there is to hold. There is no journey but to walk with Love.

Let Holy Spirit Be My Interpreter

Robert:  If I am unhappy, discouraged, frustrated, impatient or disturbed in any way, to even the minutest degree, I have chosen the ego as my interpreter. All circumstances and events are neutral images. Because images are symbols, they must be interpreted.

In order to awaken from the dream of symbols, I must give all images to the Holy Spirit for His interpretation. His interpretation always leads to forgiveness, to letting go of false stories, to letting go of giving value to the valueless. His interpretation leads to awakening from the dream of images. It is why a core idea in A Course of Miracles is that I don’t know what anything means. This recognition opens the door to freedom. It helps me be willing to receive the Holy Spirit’s interpretation, which is always on behalf of my healing.

So today I will give myself the gift of practicing holding my mind open to the Holy Spirit’s interpretation of all things. I will see any disturbance as a gift that reminds me to turn it over to Holy Spirit for His reinterpretation. This is how I open my mind and heart to Love’s vision.

Mary:  A key for me to open to Holy Spirit’s interpretation is to practice stepping back, taking a deep breath and relaxing. This provides the crack in the door the Holy Spirit needs to bring me the peace that leads to the next step, which is allowing Holy Spirit’s peace to purify the false ideas which come into my mind.

Holy Spirit leads me to a deeper level of relaxation. I then invite Holy Spirit to come in even stronger. The letting go process goes even deeper and the level of peace gets stronger. I realize that my job is to receive God’s Love and extend God’s Love. I let the Holy Spirit take over and see that all is well right now. My service to the awakening is apparent. I feel the happiness that comes with letting go and letting God.

Let Me Be Still and Listen for the Truth

Robert: The greatest gift I can give my brother is to see him with Christ vision. In the giving of that gift, it is returned to me and shows me my Self. In order to see with Christ vision, I must let go of my attachments and the barriers I have built against Love. Each time I turn over my perceptions to the Holy Spirit for reinterpretation with an open mind and heart, my Christ vision becomes clearer. Christ vision is always available, but judgments block awareness of it.

Today I will continue my practice of being mindful of my thoughts and holding an open mind to the Holy Spirit’s interpretation of all my perceptions. This is how I am able to give and receive the gift of Christ vision.

Mary:  When I let my mind quiet and listen, I hear the words, “Let me be still and listen for the truth. Let me rest in Holy Spirit’s healing Light a while. Let me make no decisions on my own.”

These words come out of a quiet desire to awaken to my true Self. Resting here in this place of quietness brings with it a gentle sense of inner peace, a sense of constancy and changelessness. There is also a feeling that comes with it of safety and stability.

From this state of mind, I see the world differently. It is easier not to take its stories so seriously. There is a quiet inner knowing here that everything really is all right, no matter what seems to be going on in the dream of separate bodies. From this quiet place, a sense of peace and calm prevails. There is a feeling of trust and relaxed certainty of the true safety behind all the stories of every “individual” in the world. There is a knowing that all is well, despite all appearances of lack, sickness and death. The quiet, constant Light of God is felt, and the veil of forgetfulness is seen as thin and meaningless.

I am very gently and quietly shown that it is important for me to come to this quiet place and let myself be reminded of the truth often. Even though the world appears quite real at times, there is a sacred place in my mind where I am brought to the truth, when I am willing to let my mind be healed. Right now I feel so grateful that oneness is the only truth and that separation could never be real.
