The Desire to Return to Truth

The function of the Holy Spirit is to arouse in you the desire for Truth. He holds this desire for you until you are ready; then He delivers it to you, to become a part of your mind. The call for Truth will exert an irresistible attraction on your mind, if you will let it. The ego counters this call by obscuring it, by drowning it out with a constant stream of thoughts and impulses. By keeping you constantly busy responding to internal and external stimulation, there is no place in your mind where the call of Truth can be received. You have forgotten Truth so long ago, even Its memory is no longer accessible to you without help. The Holy Spirit is the call to awaken, to return to the Kingdom. He is a part of your Higher Mind, and He holds for you the memory of all that is good and true. (From the Christ Mind p. 96. Click here for more information about From the Christ Mind)

The connection to the Holy Spirit is made in our minds as we truly want our connection to be strong and complete. Our practice today is to reinforce our desire to connect with the Holy Spirit in our minds. What we truly want in our heart of hearts is what we will receive because we have the strength of God in us.

As we accept our innate strength, our desire to be connected with the Holy Spirit and receive His help supersedes our old habit of identification with the ego. As our connection with the Holy Spirit strengthens, we want to see the Truth in every circumstance. This desire for Truth brings the Truth into our awareness. With Holy Spirit, we naturally rise above the battleground to see the Love that is always there because of our desire to return to Truth.
