I Am Happy to Remember the Truth

by Rev. Peggy Rivera, O.M.C.

Today I feel so happy because I realize that no matter how often I get distracted and focus on things of this world, God is always waiting with loving arms for me to find my way back.

Recently I was ill and I decided to have a surgical procedure to relieve the symptoms I was experiencing. I prayed a lot about it because I was feeling fearful and was in a lot of pain. In my mind I tried to analyze why I had these particular symptoms and, in my haste, the ego gave me plenty of information.

I asked Holy Spirit for guidance and I talked it over with my mind healing partner. I believe when we ask we receive and we have to listen for whatever form that help comes from and make sure it is Holy Spirit and not our own ego thoughts.

We talked about my guilt in getting medical help and it led into my guilt in having needs of my own. Ever since I could remember, I took care of everyone else but I didn’t feel like my time was worth much. I realized that this was self attack — when we don’t allow ourselves to receive, then the perceived deficit causes us to feel resentment and then guilt, which we project.  We then recycle those feelings over and over throughout our lives, until we realize the truth. This is what is making me feel so happy today.

The truth is that all of that is the illusion that we somehow are apart from our Source. And that we believed we could attack ourselves. The Course reminds that, “Your Godlike mind can never be defiled.” (T-6.III.1:6) The ego never was nor ever will be part of my Godlike mind but it does teach me what is not true.

We are only Love and Love is stronger than any force anywhere. With the Holy Spirit I choose to believe what is true. I see the perfection in everyone, including myself. I don’t need to take care of everyone else from an ego stance because that would make them less than they are. That would mean that I am more powerful than they are. Instead I remember to see them as whole. It doesn’t mean I don’t need to help others. What I am talking about is the perception in myself that I need to deny my own needs to take care of the needs of others. Being helpful is not consuming. When I start to feel overwhelmed, I think that is when I really need to take it to Holy Spirit and see where there is a need in me. Then I am free to lovingly support my brothers and sisters in a way that is truly helpful for the whole.
