Listening for Heaven

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Today it is your opportunity to practice listening for Heaven. You do this by taking a deep breath and opening your mind to My message for you in the present moment…

This listening will undo what you think you know. So this listening takes a willingness for what you think you know to be undone. It takes being gentle and patient with yourself as you notice all the thoughts of defense against the truth show up in your mind.

Your job now is to watch your tension level and continuously hand over thoughts of trying to figure anything out on your own. This is what “let go and let God” means. In truth you rest in God all the time, but you fight letting this awareness in when you try to figure out what things mean on your own.

Practice taking a deep breath frequently today and as you exhale, see Holy Spirit being invited into your mind to bring you the truth to help you remember Heaven. This is what listening for Heaven means. Practice this as much as possible today and you will receive big dividends on your investment. Enjoy the benefits of this practice. It is the way out of hell for you.

Holy Spirit to Robert:
“Let go and let God” is another way of saying rest in God. You are now and eternally safe in God. That cannot change, for truth does not change. But you do not experience the rest that comes with your safety in God when you attempt to usurp your Source and make a world that excludes It. It is this made up world “outside” of God that needs to be let go.

One of the ways you attempt to hold on to your made up world is by attempting to solve “problems” on your own. This gives you an illusion of having a problem solving ability. But the problems are made up and so is the ability. It is just a self-perpetuating illusion that problems are real. Your attempt to solve them simply means you have decided the problems are real.

The Holy Spirit offers you a means for problem solving that works because it shines a light on the problem and shows that it is not there. Of yourself alone it is impossible to see this. That is why it is essential that you practice diligently and consistently offering every perceived problem to the Holy Spirit and open to His true solution. The practice of being mindful in each moment of your attempts to interpret and plan, and offering them to the Holy Spirit, is the way to remember Heaven. Have a heavenly day.
