Surfing with Spirit

Mary:
In our reading of A Course in Miracles this morning, this is what stood out to me: “There is no difference among the Sons of God. The unity that specialness denies will save them all, for what is one can have no specialness. And everything belongs to each of them.” (T-26.VII.19:5-7)

I need this reminder that in truth there are no differences among the Sons of God, and that only our unity is true. We are all the same Light of God. The differences that seem to be real in fact are just illusions within the ego’s framework of deception. My job today is to practice allowing the ego veil to be lifted so that I see the Light that is always there behind every appearance of differences. It is my opportunity to let my mind be healed today.

Robert:
A skilled surfer has learned to keep his focus on the present moment to successfully ride the wave. If he is distracted by thoughts of the past or wondering about the future, the wave will overtake him. But as he keeps his attention on the present, he is able to follow the flow of the wave and let it carry him to the peaceful shore.

This is a great metaphor for following Holy Spirit’s wave to let it carry me to the shores of peace. I must keep my focus on the present moment. In the present moment Holy Spirit is always there, giving me the signals I need to follow His wave. It is not my job to make the wave or try to direct the wave. It is my job to follow the wave of the Holy Spirit in the present. When my focus is on the present moment, the flow is easy, the ride is effortless and I am carried to peace. Today I will practice being present to ride Holy Spirit’s wave.
