Step Back and Follow

Robert:
Yesterday I had a great experience with what happens when I am willing to let go, step back and let Spirit take the lead. There was something I was trying to do on the web site that I had not been able to find a way to do. I set it aside and did other things. Then one night an idea came to me that would help me do what needed to be done. I followed the inspiration and everything fell into place.

It was a wonderful demonstration that Spirit will guide me in what to do and how to do it, even in the world of form. I am pleased to have gotten done what needed to be done. But this is secondary to the lesson that Holy Spirit is ever present, leading me in peace to Where I am in truth. I can trust in His guidance. His guidance will be reflected in the world of form, but the form itself is meaningless. What is meaningful is that Holy Spirit, my true Self, is ever present, teaching me that I am free and without limits, that nothing really stands between my Self and God.

This experience reinforces the value of the practice of stepping back, going to peace and following Holy Spirit’s lead. All I really want is to fulfill my true purpose and I do this by following Holy Spirit’s lead. So today I will continue to practice stepping back and opening my heart and mind to Holy Spirit’s lead.

Mary:
How do I step back? The first step is for me to be willing to accept the peace of the Holy Spirit. This is accomplished by letting my mind quiet and asking Holy Spirit to take over my mind.

This process helps me rise above the battleground… From this place of quietness, the Holy Spirit gently shows me the difference between the real and the unreal… The Holy Spirit lifts the veil of separation and that which is not real disappears… There is no specialness here… There are no differences… There is no conflict…

The Holy Spirit shows me that this is what is true now… The Holy Spirit shows me that when my mind is not at peace, I am simply entertaining illusions that are not true… The Holy Spirit shows me that I can let the veil be lifted to see the eternal truth… Here there are no limits, no specialness, no degrees, no time… only eternal peace…

This is how I let go and let God. And I give thanks for Holy Spirit’s lessons.
