Use Christ’s Vision Today

Robert:  When I am willing to see a brother as one with me, a profound sense of peace washes through me. My heart reaches out with Love to embrace him. All sense of differences fades away. I am in gratitude for this loving presence with me. If I allow myself to stay in this place of unity, this sense of extending out and bringing in with the embrace of Love expands.

Others come in to the circle of Love by my recognition of their inclusion. They were always there. I need only to recognize the truth. I am able to experience this when I am willing to hold my heart and mind open to the Holy Spirit’s interpretation of all things. I hold this intent for today.

Mary: Today I must ask myself frequently, “What do I think I am and where do I think I am?” This same question is to be asked about every brother, “What do I think my brother is and where do I think my brother is?”

There are two voices that can answer, depending upon my choice. If I listen to the ego, I will think my brother is a separate body with a separate mind, different from me. If I choose, rather, the Holy Spirit, I will be shown the eternal Light that my brother is forever. I will be shown that this same Light that, I see in my brother, is what I truly am. I will be shown that this one eternal Light is where my Home is and, in truth, I have never left. Neither has any brother.

This is the choice that I have today. Today it is my opportunity to practice stepping back and allowing the Holy Spirit to show me the difference between the real and the unreal. The Holy Spirit helps me let go of my belief in illusory bodies that are nowhere and mean nothing. Forgiveness is my goal today.

Holy Spirit to Sharyn: The gift of vision was given you. Only you can choose to use it, not through the body’s eyes but through Christ’s eyes. Christ’s vision is in line with your true purpose. When looking at a situation or someone, ask Me for Christ’s vision and I will give it to you. Then and only then will you have true perception of what is real. Be sure to ask and it will be given you. It is your inheritance. Use Christ’s vision today and always.

Just Let Go

Holy Spirit to Robert: Just let go. You have thought you needed to be in control to provide for your safety. Just let go. It is impossible for you to know the outcome of any moment, any circumstance that will be the most helpful for all, now or in the seeming future. Just let go. Let Me do My job. I am here to bring you the joy that is God’s gift to you. I am here to bring you His peace.

If you will let me, I will orchestrate the circumstances that will serve to bring God’s peace and joy to you and everyone. Just let go. See yourself as being in control of turning over all your decisions to Me. For your happiness, that is your job. That will allow me to deliver on God’s promise for your perfect happiness. I stand at your door with all God’s gifts to present to you. You need only open the door. Just let go.

Holy Spirit to Dorie:  Stop leading and follow. For in following, you always walk in truth. Your safety is assured. Look not at outcomes. Stay in this moment. Know that all is provided and as you follow, others learn by your example. Words are not required. The Light of Spirit enlightens the Sonship. It is seen in all your brothers and sisters as you look through Spirit’s eyes. Just follow and all peace is yours.

Holy Spirit to Sharyn:  Having no private thoughts means having total honesty. Honestly accepting your oneness with all your sisters and brothers. You realize there is no specialness. No one is better than another one and you are all connected. When one is totally connected to your Self, there is no fear in sharing your thoughts with anyone. There is no fear at all, only Love. You keep nothing to your little self, and you share everything from the Higher Self. “There are no private thoughts” means allowing yourself to be free from anyone else’s opinion or judgment. It doesn’t matter. If you just get that: It doesn’t matter. Be honest with yourself when looking in the mirror and see only the beauty that you are. You are one of God’s holy children. Accept your oneness with everyone.

Holy Spirit to Mary:  Today let yourself remember your true Home. Let yourself remember that in truth you rest in God eternally. You are eternal Spirit in the one Mind of God. Let yourself remember this frequently today. Stop and let yourself remember the truth.

Here and Now

Holy Spirit to Mary:  It is time once again to remember that there is no future and there is no past. Only the eternal present is true. Let yourself remember that in truth you are in Heaven now. Love is. God is. And then we cease to speak.

Holy Spirit to Robert:  Peace is now; there is no other time. Peace is here; there is no other place. All attempts to seek outside here and now are directed by the ego tenet: Seek but do not find. What you truly want is here and now. Fantasies can distract you and block your awareness that you have everything you want and need, but they cannot change the fact that you have it right now, right here.

Forgiveness is very simply the letting go of distractions, the relinquishment of seeking where you canot find. Rest in Me. As you recognize your attempts to seek beyond the here and now, bring them to Me. Release them to Me and I will help you find what you really want, what you already have. This practice will lead you out of the sense of lack and vulnerability to the strength and completion given you by God. It is this you want to remember and it is this I am here to help you recognize as yours.

Healing Comes to the Quiet Mind

Robert: When I remember Who I am, I look on a world where everyone is my friend. Apparent behavior does not change my recognition of them as my brother in God. What is Love cannot change. Appearances come and go like passing clouds, but the certainty of Love is changeless. When I remember Who I am, I am at peace, because I rest in Love’s changelessness. In the strength of Love I know I am safe. There is nothing to defend and I welcome, with outstretched arms, the Love of God in everyone. Nothing else is there. All judgment has ceased and I stand in the oneness of Love.

Holy Spirit to Mary: Healing comes to the quiet mind. Your job is to let all wandering thoughts be healed by the Light that the Holy Spirit brings. Your willingness to let the Light come brings with it peace and quietness that heals all the false ideas that enter your mind.

Let your mind quiet today. There is a place in you where all healing lies. You can go to that place any time you choose. The choice is yours. Let that time be now. In quiet is every problem quietly resolved. Let the Holy Spirit do Its healing work by allowing your mind to quiet. Handing every thought to the Holy Spirit to be undone is how quietness is achieved.

Stepping Back from Planning on My Own

Robert:  My only job is to accept my real will, which is the same as God’s Will. When I try to make plans on my own, I am rejecting God’s Will. As a result I am not in peace. Peace comes with accepting God’s Will as mine. When I try to “push the river,” I am adding my own agenda, making my own plan. It’s ironic that the plans I make, which are intended to make me happy or safe or bring me peace, really block my awareness from the safety and peace and happiness that is already mine.

Today my practice is to step back from planning on my own. As I step back I open my mind to the guidance of the Holy Spirit Whose only interest is my perfect peace and happiness.

Mary:  Whose hand am I holding right now? If I am trying to figure it out on my own, I have to admit that I am holding ego’s hand. When I am honest with myself, I then have the opportunity to choose once again. Am I really willing to take Holy Spirit’s Hand and be led and have no opinions of my own? How do I know if I am really stepping back?

I am really stepping back when I truly commit to allowing the peace of God to fill my mind. I am truly stepping back when I let go of my planning and just want the peace of God. When I truly let go, everything softens. The chatter stops. I just lay everything down. In this place of silence I can feel God’s peace. The problems of the world fall away and there is quiet. I listen and know that all is well. I know that I have everything I need.

Experience God’s Joy

Holy Spirit to Mary:  You can experience God’s joy. The answer lies within and not without. Whose hand are you joining with right now? If you are joining with the Holy Spirit, you will feel Holy Spirit’s gifts of joy and peace and freedom. If instead you are joined with the ego, you will feel lack, limitation and frustration because you are lost in the ego’s dream of being separated from your Source.

The choice is yours every minute. Let yourself recognize this fact, that the choice is yours, every minute, for what you will experience.

The old habit of joining with the ego has been strong, but now you know that your true power lies in joining with the Holy Spirit. With this joining, you find peace—lasting peace. As you place your trust in choosing only this, your life experience becomes a grand adventure. Every moment now becomes an opportunity to let the Holy Spirit choose for you. You need do nothing. It is done for you. Focus only on choosing with the Holy Spirit. You will feel the difference and what you accept you will extend. This is your purpose. This is your only purpose.

Holy Spirit to Dorie:  Release yourself from the prison of fear, for my Love and joy are with you always. As you go through the day, replace all thoughts of fear with the reality of My joy. Accept nothing less than my perfect joy. Extend My Love to all.

Holy Spirit to Robert:  There is an image in my mind. It’s a caricature of a knight in shining armor holding his sword high, standing on a little mound. He thinks he is king of the mountain.

Holy Spirit is telling me to step out of that role. There is nothing to vanquish nor defend against. If I want to be king, I need only remember What I am. I am one with the King of Heaven, along with all my brothers.

My domain is Love that is all inclusive. It is a domain of joy and peace. That is my kingdom. To claim it I need only let go of the tiny mound and accept the grandeur of God’s gift. In the accepting, all my brothers are included, for it is a gift that I cannot claim alone. I am in great gratitude for the gift of Heaven.

Sharyn: Be happy and rejoice. I see the doors of a prison opening. A person is jumping out saying, “I’m free!”

Hand Over the Reins

Robert: There is a line in A Course in Miracles that says, “Be vigilant only for God and His Kingdom.” For me right now this means paying close attention with the Holy Spirit to my thoughts. If I want to return to the Love and peace of God, I must break the habit of thinking on my own. I must break the habit of thinking that on my own I know what anything means.

Allowing that habit to continue simply leads me into chaos, because it is a habit of thinking that illusions having meaning. This is not what I really want. I really want the peace of God. I really want to remember the Love that created me that I am. I really want to remember that only Love is real and that all there is to see is Love.

To have what I really want, I need to be vigilant only for Love. Of myself I do not know what Love is or what it looks like. But the Holy Spirit in my mind is there to guide me and show me the reality of Love. Today I would walk and breathe with the Holy Spirit and together be vigilant only for Love. My heart leaps with joy and gratitude.

Holy Spirit to Mary:  Hand over the reins. Let your mind quiet and listen. Relax and soften. Remember that you do not know what anything means. Let every circumstance that comes up be another opportunity to step back and listen. Do not try to figure anything out on your own. Remember that you do not know, but the Holy Spirit in your mind does know what would be best for all concerned.

Practice stepping back in quiet listening today. You will know that you are truly stepping back when you feel deep peace. From that place of deep peace, you will be guided with certainty.

Holy Spirit to Sharyn:  Letting go of the stories you made up is simply forgiving yourself for what never was. Letting go is truly a process that must be done in order to see the Truth. The truth is you are a wholly loving, abundant daughter of God. His Will is your will. Let it be that way. When you come to Me for answers to all your questions, I will only answer what His Will is for you. God’s Will for you is perfect happiness. Accept that and know that always. Love is always the answer. Let go and let God.
