Lead by Following

Mary:
Holy Spirit, today I will practice following. Today I would remember that I have a choice — either I am following the ego or I am following You, Holy Spirit. Today I choose to go gently and softly, following Your lead. I choose not to make any decisions on my own. I am willing to step back again and again, and listen for Your Voice. Today I am willing to accept Your gift of peace which is always there, waiting for my acceptance. Today is a day of practice, of letting myself be carried.

Holy Spirit to Robert:
An effective leader is one who follows truth. An effective leader knows that of himself he understands nothing and is willing to let the Truth lead the way. The Truth always leads to the recognition that only Love is real, that there is no separation.

Effective leadership does not come from following the ego’s teaching. Seeking what cannot be found is not leadership. It is simply denial of Truth. The ego’s perception can only be based on past learning. Because the past is an illusion, the ego has truly learned nothing. The leader who follows nothing has denied his leadership.

Today be an effective leader by stepping back and following the One Who sees the truth and nothing else. Thus will you be led to deep peace, quiet joy and eternal Love. This is what you really want. Nothing else will satisfy because nothing else exists. Let today be a day of leading by following.
