Study of Text, Chapter 11: II: The Invitation to Healing, P 5. 9-1-15

II. The Invitation to Healing, P 5
5 The Holy Spirit cannot speak to an unwelcoming host, because He will not be heard. The Eternal Guest remains, but His Voice grows faint in alien company. He needs your protection, only because your care is a sign that you want Him. Think like Him ever so slightly, and the little spark becomes a blazing light that fills your mind so that He becomes your only Guest. Whenever you ask the ego to enter, you lessen His welcome. He will remain, but you have allied yourself against Him. Whatever journey you choose to take, He will go with you, waiting. You can safely trust His patience, for He cannot leave a part of God. Yet you need far more than patience.

The Holy Spirit is always with me and always will be because He cannot abandon a part of God. What He needs from me in order to help me is my welcome. I must want His help. Otherwise all He can do is wait patiently for me to realize I do want that help. But as Jesus says, I need more than His patience. I need His active participation in my Awakening.

I do welcome the Holy Spirit, and I open my mind and heart to Him. I ask for His help, His guidance, His healing. But I must protect His place in my mind through continuing to desire His help. It is still too easy for me to turn to the ego for answers, so I must be vigilant in noticing whom I ask for help. When I look to the ego for guidance, I have lessened the Holy Spirit’s welcome and so, while He remains with me, He cannot help me.

I want to Awaken and the Holy Spirit will help me to do this, and it will occur much more easily if I do not block His help. This is not hard; it just requires practice and dedication to my purpose. I have gotten pretty good at catching the mind’s tendency to return to judgment and to lose itself in illusions. I have gotten pretty good at changing my mind. Now I continue my practice until I have mastered this decision.
