Learn to Welcome God’s Love

Robert:
The ego is always looking for evidence that it exists. Being the idea of separation, it always looks for separate images. This is why the body, the ego’s chosen home, was made to only be able to see separate images. When we rely on what the body’s eyes see, we block all awareness of the Spirit of Love we all are.

This is why the path to waking up requires that we learn to choose a different way of seeing. We need to practice allowing the Holy Spirit’s vision to show us the truth beyond the images the ego (body) sees. The process of awakening from the dream is a process of shifting our attention from the ego’s way of seeing to our true Self’s way of seeing. A Course in Miracles tells us that the first thing we need to learn is that the ego’s way of seeing does not bring us what we really want. In fact, it brings us pain. Simultaneously we need to learn that our true Self’s way of seeing brings us lasting happiness, deep peace and Love so profound it is indescribable in the world.

This is a gradual process because when we are deeply invested in the ego belief system, Love is terrifying because it seems that it would mean the end our identity. But as we are willing to loosen our grip on the belief that we are separate and start to open our hearts to the lesson of Love that our true Self brings, we gradually learn to welcome Love instead of fear it.

Today I will welcome Love by practicing staying in peace and holding my mind open to the Holy Spirit’s lessons in Love. The possibility of joy is limitless.

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Today, practice seeing past the camouflage of the ego to the Heart of Love That resides in everyone you see today or even think of.

God’s Love is What everyone is and What you are. Let yourself remember this today. It is worth the vigilance. It is God’s gift to you. And because we are one Self, it is God’s gift to everyone. Let yourself receive the gift of Love today.
