Looking Past Appearances

Robert:
Yesterday we were encouraged to pay attention to when we were attempting to plan and solve problems on our own. This was a very helpful exercise. It brought to my attention that attempting to solve problems and make plans on my own is habitual. Without mindfulness, I would be caught up in this habit all day long. It requires a radical reversal of attention from the images of the world to willingness to receive Holy Spirit’s vision. It requires a willingness to look past appearances and let the Holy Spirit show me what is really there — Love and nothing else; certainty and peace, and nothing else.

I can be experiencing Love’s certainty and peace in every moment. It’s already in me, but the habit of attempting to plan and solve problems “out there” makes me unaware of the reality within. I want the peace of God. I want to know the Love I am. And so I will practice again bringing all my attempts to plan and solve problems on my own to the Holy Spirit. I want His vision and I am grateful that it is always given.

Mary:
Today is a day of opening to the truth. This is what this day is for. My job is to practice stepping back all through the day and open to a correction in my perceptions. As I do this, the Holy Spirit will show me a world beyond this world — a world of oneness and peace. I am grateful that this opportunity is given me today as I am willing to receive it.
