The Blessings Just Keep Coming

One of the most valuable things about the experience I recently had with my mom, (see Seeing Mom Clearly) was watching what happens when I withdraw my projections. I was sad to see her in that position of course, but most of my discomfort was in picturing myself in her place and also my guilt over all the things I did and said that I could not make amends for. So I was projecting my fear and guilt and anger onto her.

Discovering that she was not suffereing as I had supposed, made it easier to stop projecting and allowed me to see her differently. Well, over the last few days, I have come to realize that I have withdrawn ALL the projections I had put on her in our life together. I see her clean and beautiful now, and so completely innocent. I find that I long to visit again just to be nearer that lovely spirit.

I am filled with a sense of excitement at the possibilities. If I withdraw my projections from other people in my life, how will they look to me? As I do this for more and more people, will this feeling of joy expand? Will I begin to experience myself as innocent as well?

Holy Spirit, I don’t know how to do this by myself. I invite you into my mind and ask that you correct my projection thoughts about the people in my life. I am willing to relinquish the need I thought I had to make them guilty. I long to see the innocence in them instead. I long to know my own innocence.

Thank you.
