Letting Holy Spirit Purify Our Minds

by Revs. Robert and Mary Stoelting, Founders of Pathways of Light

In dreaming of a world of separation, we have made up a concept of an individual self. This concept hides the changeless Self that God created from our awareness. We have not lost our true Self. But as long as we identify with a separate self, we cannot know the glory that God shares with our Self. But we have a choice. We can choose to let go of a self-concept we made and accept our Self as It is.

We need to accept the Holy Spirit’s help, Who always speaks for our Self and our Father. By declaring that the power of decision is our own, we are reminding ourselves that we can choose once again. We can choose to let go of our self-concept and accept that we are Love and nothing else. In this acceptance we awaken to the Heaven of God’s Love.

We have the means to live in joy. We need only make it a priority to step back and listen to the Holy Spirit’s Guidance all through the day. He will teach us to see beyond the dream of fear and disaster. He will help us see the reality of Love shining everywhere, unencumbered by dreams of separation.

As we accept the Holy Spirit’s help by choosing peace and letting our mind quiet, we will let the false images of conflict and judgment dissolve in the Light of God’s Love, which shows us unity and brings us peace of mind. With the Holy Spirit’s help, we choose to see every brother truly. In recognition of our oneness, every day can be a joyous day of reunion with our true Self.

“You have never given any problem to the Holy Spirit He has not solved for you, nor will you ever do so. You have never tried to solve anything yourself and been successful. …This year invest in truth, and let it work in peace. Have faith in Him Who has faith in you.” (T-16.II.9:1-2,7-8)

Here we have a practice that can set us free from fear and guilt. We can have full remembrance of our Identity in God. Our Identity is a given; It can never change. To ask the Holy Spirit to make all decisions on our behalf is willingness to let truth replace all self-deceptions.

To perceive anyone as a body, including our own, is to accept false beliefs. The Holy Spirit sees past these perceptions to the Love that is our Identity.

Each day we can set our intent to let the Holy Spirit decide all things on our behalf. As we practice pausing throughout the day to accept His help, we become His messenger to bring healing to the world and heal our minds as well.

Experience: We were particularly challenged as we watched the U.S. election. Politics are always centered on opinions about “right and wrong.” One person’s right can be another person’s wrong. This is inherent in the duality of the dream of separation. Opinions maintain the perception of differences and conflict.

As we observed ourselves being disturbed by political rhetoric, we saw that we needed to step back and let Holy Spirit purify our minds from our investment in our opinions. We asked for help to see past differences to recognize our calls for Love and everyone’s call for Love.

We remember that feeling fearful can only occur when we have forgotten that only Love is real. By stepping back and accepting the Holy Spirit’s help, we remember to let Love shine away the dark thoughts of fear. We remember we are safe, no matter what the dream looks like. We feel peaceful and offer Love to those we have judged as wrong.

We learn to see that we are all seeking to feel the safety of God’s Love. We join with perceived adversaries as we remember that in truth, we are united in Love.

We need to forgive the beliefs that are a defense against Love’s oneness. Forgiveness unites us with Love. In reality, there is nothing to forgive. In the dream of denial, forgiveness is Love’s mirror. While we believe we are a body, we focus on perception of what seems to be external. When we forgive, the Love that is our brother is reflected back to us.

Forgiveness is a way of saying: “I accept God’s gift of Love.” This acceptance returns the memory of God to our mind. Today we welcome His Love and let the Holy Spirit help us overlook the false barriers to see the Love that is everywhere. In Love we find peace and joy.

In Workbook for Students, Lesson 350 we learn: “And as we gather miracles from Him, we will indeed be grateful. For as we remember Him, His Son will be restored to us in the reality of Love.”

We have found that the Holy Spirit is our best Friend. He gives us the means to live in joy. We need only make it a priority to listen to the Holy Spirit’s Guidance all through the day.

He will teach us to see beyond the dream of fear and disaster. He will help us see the reality of Love shining everywhere, unencumbered by dreams of separation.

As we accept the Holy Spirit’s help, we will let the false images of conflict dissolve in the Light of Love, which shows us unity and brings us peace of mind. With the Holy Spirit’s help, we choose to see every brother truly. In recognition of our oneness, this will be a joyous day of reunion with our true Self.

We have thoroughly trained ourselves to believe that what the ego sees through the body’s eyes is true. But what we see with the ego are images in darkness, devoid of the Light of Love. The effect of this “seeing” is appearances of conflict, loss, guilt and fear — lack of Love.

It is time to retrain our minds to choose the Holy Spirit’s vision, which sees with the Light of Love. This vision shows us the reality of Love’s oneness. There is no conflict here, for Love is one and the same, everywhere, always and forever.

This vision cannot be seen by the body. It is seen with the vision of Christ in our mind. With this vision the images of the ego’s dark world are dispelled by the Light. They are overlooked as Love’s reality dawns upon our mind. Where we saw loss, we see only the constant extension of Love. Where we saw cause for guilt, we see Love’s eternal innocence. The reality of Love replaces the illusion of fear.

All this comes as we forgive by choosing the Holy Spirit’s vision over the ego’s image-making in darkness. This is how we accept that the Light of Love is here, now and always.
