With the Eyes of Love

Recently Spirit gave this message to me:

You think you would be happy if you were able to use your legs as you did once before. Truly, this is not where happiness is. You think your time is wasted because you cannot accomplish household chores. You would like for your space to be neat and orderly. What about your mind, dear one? Would it not benefit you to bring order to your mind that is filled with conflict? Let me remind you that you cannot bring order alone; you need help in sorting out the worth from the useless. Do not feel “bad” about your failure to do this inner cleaning—- for any sense of guilt or shame is another ego ploy to keep you mired in illusion. You know that when you truly desire help, you have it. But your belief that you will not “like” the correct interpretation keeps you from asking for help.

Part of the mind tells you that you have made wrong choices. And that same part insists that you must sacrifice to make up for the wrong choice. Dear one, there is no sacrifice, there is no loss of any kind. You are still innocent, wholly pure, exactly as Love created you. This has never changed. Would you not want to give up the game of fear and accept your perfection?
When you choose to look with Love’s eyes, innocence and purity will be all that you see. When you look with the eyes of Love, you free your brother and yourself. With eyes of Love, you recognize there is no past; all hurts are undone; all pain is healed. With Love’s eyes you see only the truth and gently lay forgiveness on everything that appears in unhappy dreams. You forgive the insane thoughts that the false idea brought.

Accept this now. Your Inner Eyes are the eyes of Love. Your Inner knowing grows from Love. What you search for in your dream, lies in your Heart of hearts. It waits for your acceptance, to radiate out to the world and heal all thoughts of fear, of separation. That is your purpose here. See with the eyes of Love. Give yourself the time to turn within and to be showered in peace. Accept the gift of peace. As you allow your fear thoughts to be healed by Love, the inner change will be reflected outwards.

Dear one, you have denied the Love/Truth of what you are. Yet you can only deny what was once known. Therefore, the truth is still within you, the Love is What you are. Only the split mind fears that you will discover and accept this Love. When you find fear thoughts, remember that is not you. 
Be mindful of peace today—- where is your peace? It is now. You can let the past go, you can let the future be. Be present in the moment. Be here now.

Message From A Movie

This morning I found my mind had been all over the place. Last night we watched “Good Will Hunting,” I’d totally forgotten the scene near the end where Sean tells Will, “It’s not your fault.” He repeats it again and again until Will really accepts it.

It reminded me that it is not my fault—I am innocent—no matter what I am choosing. If I’m afraid of waking to the truth, I am not guilty for that choice, I am only mistaken. I have incarcerated myself in guilt and then mistakenly thought that there is no way out. Still, I am not alone and the gentle Voice asks me to “Choose again.” I am being asked to give up any thought that hurts me, or any belief in guilt. Guilt has no cause. I have mistaken guilt for the truth. I need only to take any thought of guilt or fear and lay it on the alter for Holy Spirit to translate.

Message from Holy Self: It’s not your fault. It was not your job to make your parents happy. It’s not your fault that they were unhappy. It’s not your fault about what your mother chose. It’s not your fault that your father chose the role of alcoholic. What they chose for themselves was never your fault. It was not your responsibility. It’s not your fault—- it’s not your fault.

When you see those ancient perceptions rise in your thoughts, remember that perceptions are wrong. They will always be wrong until you give them to the Spirit of Love for correction. He will always heal the perception for you, never leaving you. You will never fail if you take all your perceptions to Him Who knows the truth about you and for you. The strength of Love is in you and will correct every perception that was made in error. You are innocent, sinless, for your only Cause was Love Itself.

You are breaking the chain of deception and self hate. You are accepting the truth and the love. You have learned to listen to the Voice for Love in your mind. You have learned that there is indeed another way to view the world, and your mind.

If you find confrontation in your thoughts, you know that you can choose again. You can view the thoughts or beliefs of separation with the Spirit of Love, and let Love heal your mind. You are all right. You are safe. You are loved, You are innocent.
There is no “better than,” or “worse than.” Choose again—- is to choose for Love, to see beyond the images to the Love that is there, and everywhere.

Today’s Idea

Spirit: Today’s idea (God is my strength. Vision is His gift.) reminds you of what you want in truth. It reminds you of what you are and what is yours.  Open your mind today to the idea that God is your strength and vision is His gift. Your mind is very holy because it is part of God’s. There is nothing your holiness cannot do—which includes changing your mind/thoughts about everything.

God’s peace is with you every moment and you can touch this gift and give it. God’s strength in you will remove any obstacles to peace, simply by your asking. You want only what is truly yours. Lay down the misinformation you have taught yourself. As you accept peace you will be led and even carried out of the maze of conflict and confusion. In accepting peace you know your purpose and goal are the same as Holy Spirit’s. Accept peace and be certain of the Life within you that offers only Love.
You live and move in God. In peace you accept His gift.

What I Think Is Real

Spirit: What you think is real has made you fearful and feeling alone. You think what you have made has value and truth, but it is only illusion. Illusions are one, they are all the same, and they prevent the light from shining in your mind, showing you the false is nothing and what you fear never abandoned you. You are forever safe and loved, forever sinless and complete.

Make one illusion valuable and you must accept them all as meaningful. Yet there is one illusion that undoes all the rest—that you can use without distress. Forgiveness is the one that will not make more illusions, and gives gentle rest to the frantic mind. Forgive yourself for denying what you are and What created you. Forgive yourself for dreaming of special favor. For what you think is real was never done, a world of time and space never took the place of the eternal Love you share. Your dreaming has not changed one true thing and you have never been separated from your Home and Love.

Dreams are nothing and you can let them go. The time of terror was over long ago and has no power over you. Accept only what Love has given you and put no faith in the illusion of a place apart from Love. You are not alone. Your mind is holy and you are a part of God.

Thoughts That Hurt

When I chose to forget that I was God’s Son, that seemed to cement the separation in place. My perception can change when I am willing to see differently. What I think “I know” is really meaningless. I have given all the meaning to what I see, and from the belief that I am separate my meanings are inaccurate, incorrect, nonsensical, and basically wrong.

Can I, or will I, admit that I am wrong? Will I seek true correction from Divine Spirit, my true Self? Or do I continue to muddle my way through the illusions of my dreaming? What do I really want? Do I really want to be right? and miserable? Or am I willing to release my perceptions, thoughts and beliefs of what or who I am? Do I really want to be right and make God wrong?

If I insist on being a miserable sinner, then that is what I experience, for Spirit does not interfere or deny my wishes however insane they are. If I desire to change my thoughts, Spirit will assist and guide me in every way. His only purpose is to lead me Home. My only purpose is to follow and bring my brothers with me.

My brothers are all with me, for they are in my mind. If I try to shut one out, then I will shut out divine Help. When I close the door on a brother, I am closing the door to Holy Spirit. This prevents my healing, it prevents the Light from entering and shining away the false thoughts. I must remember that my perceptions are wrong. Thoughts based on a foundation of separation will always be false and there is no way to make them true. When I maintain false ideas I only hurt myself. It is only the false (wrong) thinking that Spirit would remove; give all thoughts that hurt to Him.
