Letting Go of False Ideas

Robert:  Today we did a quick review of the first 50 lessons. What stood out to me is that these lessons are offering us the means to recognize and let go of our false ideas about what we are. And they show us that we remain safe in God’s Love, unchanged and unchangeable.

It is very clear to me that I can only experience lack of peace because I am believing I am not as I was created to be. I am believing in a false image of myself. That’s the only problem. The solution is always to open my heart and mind to the gift of peace that is eternally present and by its acceptance I will know the strength and Love of God as my own.

Thank you God for not giving up on me, for not believing in the stories I made up. Thank You for being the changeless Love You are, and therefore, I am.

Mary:  Today I start the day with mentally putting out the “welcome mat” to the Holy Spirit. I start today by inviting the Holy Spirit into my mind. I start the day by receiving Holy Spirit’s gifts of peace and Christ’s vision. I sit a while in quiet with the Holy Spirit.

If any thoughts or concerns or worries come to mind, I hand them over to the Holy Spirit’s willing Hands. The Holy Spirit gladly takes these thoughts from my mind and in return, shows me the difference between the real and the unreal.

The Holy Spirit brings me true perception, which is the greatest gift I can receive. With true perception I am able to see that everyone is in the Mind of God. I am able to see that everyone is the same. I am able to see that there are no differences, even though it appears that there are differences in the dream.

I ask the Holy Spirit to hold my hand throughout the day as I encounter different circumstances. I am reminded that because I want a change in perception throughout the day, I will receive it. I am comforted by remembering that the Holy Spirit does not leave me while I go through my day.

My job is to step back frequently today and open my mind to Holy Spirit’s correction in my perception throughout the day. As I receive these corrections, I am filled with a sense of peace and quiet inner joy. I am reminded that I am safe in the Mind of God. I have not left, even though it appears to have happened in the dream.

Through my willingness to be open, I am reminded of the truth. I am reminded that in truth, nothing has happened to change God’s one Son. What appears as many is really just one undivided Son, one undivided extension of God’s Love. We have not left Love, but have merely forgotten our true Identity. With Holy Spirit, today is a day of remembering, remembering that we still are joined, we still share the one Mind of God and that nothing else is real. Love is. God is. And then we cease to speak.
