VI. The Light of Communication, P 2
2 The quiet light in which the Holy Spirit dwells within you is merely perfect openness, in which nothing is hidden and therefore nothing is fearful. Attack will always yield to love if it is brought to love, not hidden from it. There is no darkness that the light of love will not dispel, unless it is concealed from love’s beneficence. What is kept apart from love cannot share its healing power, because it has been separated off and kept in darkness. The sentinels of darkness watch over it carefully, and you who made these guardians of illusion out of nothing are now afraid of them.

This explanation seems very simple to me. My dark thoughts are protected from the Holy Spirit when I insist I am guilty because I have them. They are dispelled when I stop defending these ideas and let love heal them instead. It is truly the easiest thing in the world to do. It only seems hard when I listen to the ego’s dire warnings.
I used to think that when I was sad and discouraged, there was nothing I could do about this emotional state. Slowly, I proved to myself that I could let these feelings go if I asked the Holy Spirit to show me how to see them differently. If I gave them to the Holy Spirit, I could let love undo them. But I would notice the feelings would re-emerge when I was tired and didn’t have the energy to deal with them.
The return of the feelings at a time I felt vulnerable would scare me. I wondered if I was wrong about the whole thing and if I was forever trapped in my dark mind. Then one evening, I told the Holy Spirit that I was tired of this and, that I wanted to claim my happiness all the time.
I told Him that I didn’t know what to do about the sadness that would creep in at night and the fear and guilt that resulted, but I knew that He did and I put it in His hands. Holy cow! That was it! Now, if the sadness tries to return, I just laugh at it. It is nothing but smoke and mirrors. I just say no to sadness, and the feeling melts away.
Sadness is just one form of darkness, but it is the same with all forms, guilt, fear, anger; they all dissipate when given to love. I have a couple of dark thoughts that have been harder for me to turn over to Spirit. It is harder, I think because I think it is harder. But each time they come up, it is a little easier and so I continue to practice this process until I master it.
