No Enemies

by Rev. Cathy Silva, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

One morning just before the end of last year I sat with my journal and Holy Spirit struggling with what seemed to be an unbridgeable divide happening in our country, and with many families, including my own. As I allowed the words to flow through and be written, what came was a message that I believe has the potential to profoundly heal and help heal. That is if we are willing.

I believe the purpose of the “What if” statements is to prompt us to at least consider another way.

From A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 33: “There is another way of looking at the world. Today’s idea is an attempt to recognize that you can shift your perception of the world in both its outer and inner aspects.” (W-33.1.1) 

The message:

No Enemies

Building a Bridge Across
the Invisible “Divide”

WHAT IF

What if the divide and differences we see as fact are all in our mind?

What if deep in our heart of hearts we all desire the same thing — to love and be loved?

What if we were to loosen the grip we have on “our way” of seeing, thinking and doing?

What if we stopped being afraid to say what we honestly feel?

And what if we were courageous enough to really listen?

What if we could actually lay down our armament and wrap our arms around one another?

What if we could lean into Love instead of standing back from fear?

What if we decided enough is enough, and open up to another way?

What if we let Love guide us rather than allowing hate to motivate us?

What if we could transcend our trauma rather than be defined by it?

Until now this channeled message was safely tucked in the pages of my journal and I have only shared with a few trusted people because there was a fear of expressing honestly and openly what has been coming through for a very long time.

I know there is more. It is in no way complete; but for now it feels like an important step for me in my further development of Trust to share as it is. I am trusting Holy Spirit to continue to express through me; and I’m trusting you, my brothers and sisters as we awaken to the awareness of loves presence together.

“Trusting your brothers is essential to establishing and holding up your faith in your ability to transcend doubt and lack of sure conviction in yourself.” (W-181.1:1)
