Not Guilty

by Rev. Veronika Wilcox

imageWhat is it like to be unselfish? What is it like to be truly loving? They are one and the same for Love is unselfish and it is of God therefore I don’t have to ‘make’ it.

This became clear to me today when I had to make a decision. I so much wanted to be unselfish and consider others in my life. I felt their needs and desires but it created a conflict with what I felt was right for me. I turned to Holy Spirit who is the ever accessible wisdom in my mind. Then I noticed a poster that I had put up above my desk. It is a saying of White Eagle:  YOUR TRUE SELF The first and greatest claim upon you is the claim of God, or of your spirit; or, in other words, your higher self. Your true self is a shining spirit. You must be true to that shining spirit above all things. Let nothing draw you aside from your soul’s pursuit of truth and light and eternal love.

This clarified the whole situation for me. I can try really hard to please others and it might work for a while and be quite satisfying but mostly it doesn’t work because human wishes are so many. Mary Baker Eddy said to follow her only as far as she follows Christ. Then I started to feel queasy and noticed guilt in my feelings. I listened to a CD from Course 912: Accepting Holy Spirit’s Help (Pathways of Light course) and it said:

“The Holy Spirit is showing you your innocence…” and, “You are now becoming more aware of your true inner Light, your Beingness in Love… your true Identity…” This was an important reminder, that of my true Identity in God. I was healed.
