Release from Fear

Mary:
In our reading in A Course in Miracles this morning, this is what stood out to me:

The guiltless have no fear, for they are safe and recognize their safety. They do not appeal to magic, nor invent escapes from fancied threats without reality. They rest in quiet certainty that they will do what is given them to do. They do not doubt their own ability because they know their function will be filled completely in the perfect time and place. (W-pI.98.3:1-4)

This was the perfect message for me to hear. Fear thoughts came up for me last night and they seemed very real at the time. This reminds me that I need not ‘invent escapes from fancied threats without reality.’ This reminds me that we are all safe in the Heart of God and have not left God’s Mind. Once again, I willingly open my mind to Holy Spirit’s healing Light because keeping fear thoughts is not the answer. Quiet openness to my inner Teacher is the answer to every fear thought that comes up. I continue the practice through the day to accept my part in God’s plan for salvation by letting go of the insanity of belief in separation from God.

Robert:
When I believe I am separate and alone, I am denying the strength of God in me and fear is inevitable. Because the body’s eyes were made to make the appearance of separation seem real, it is essential that I learn not to believe what the body’s eyes see. This is not a lesson I can teach myself because when I believe I am separate, all I can teach is separation.

But my inner Teacher is ever present in my mind and does not believe in separation at all. This is the teacher I must pay attention to if I would learn of my real strength, the strength I have in God. The daily minute-by-minute practice of paying attention to the Holy Spirit’s lesson in each situation is the way out of hell. It is the way to learn of the safety, happiness and peace that is God’s eternal gift to all.

I am grateful for the moments when I do remember to pay attention to the Holy Spirit’s vision. My attention still gets attracted to the world’s images but I more quickly now bring my attention back to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit always guides me with gentleness and patience and always shows me that I am safe and innocent and loved. He always shows me that I remain at Home. And I give thanks.
