The Twinge of Pain

Hello EveryOne,

While in the hospital, I surmised since hidden guilt is the underlying factor of what appears in my dream experience, I asked Holy Spirit to show me what guilt I was holding that contributed to the experience of lupus and transverse myelitis. The next day I had thoughts of past relationships, and I realized that I still had huge guilt from a former marriage. My perception was that I had caused major damage (pain) to the other person.  I was the “cause” of the ruined partnership, that the fault/guilt was all mine. No amount of “wishing him well” did anything to alleviate my pain when I thought about him.       
I then asked H.S. to take all related thoughts of guilt in that relationship for correction; I asked that my mind be healed.

As I was willing to let go of the past, and my perceptions of it, I noticed a sense of lightness come to my mind. I can notice now, that when I think of that person, there is no longer the twinge of pain accompanied with the thought.

Today I was led to read sections 1 and 3 in Chapter 17. I saw how that previous relationship was not intended for healing or holiness, that it would never have succeeded. I also saw how in my current relationship, the times that I asked for help in my thoughts/perceptions, I was given help in the amount that I was willing to accept. Now, whenever I have gotten on the ego wagon, and think I want things, actions different from what my partner does or wants, I ask more and more for H.S. to take over. I remind myself that I want my thoughts healed. I remind myself that I want a holy relationship, not the unholy, unhealed relationship that perpetuates illusion and separation. I remind myself that my brother is simply reflecting my thoughts back to me.

I am so very thankful for the H.S. in my mind, for His unerring correction, and continuous love to support me and my partner.
I could never be where I am today without His Guidance and comfort.

Helpful Excerpts from Text

Hello Everyone—the OneShip,

The following excerpts stood out to me last night and this morning. Broadly in Text.9. IV; 10-12. V; 6-8. VI; 5-7. VII.
Specifically, the sentences that I have italicised, are helpful to me within my framework of learning in this moment. 

“…… your only hope is to change your mind about reality. Only if the decision that reality is fearful is wrong can God be right. And I assure you that God IS right. Be glad, then, that you have been wrong, but this was only because you did not know who you were. Had you known, you could no more have been wrong than God can.”  9.IV. 10; 2-6

“The decision to receive is the decision to accept.” 9.VI. 2; 6

“How can you become increasingly aware of the H.Spirit in you except by His effects?  9.VI. 1;1
“Healing is not mysterious. Nothing will change unless it is understood, since light IS understanding.  9.V. 6; 4-5 The miracle worker begins by perceiving light, and translates his perception into sureness by continually extending it [light] and accepting its acknowledgment. Its effects assure him it is there.”  9.V. 7; 8-9

“Very simply the H.Spirit teaches you to awaken others. As you see them awaken you will learn what waking means, …… 9.VI. 5; 2-3
<i>“God wills you perfect happiness now. Is it possible that this is not also your will? And is it possible that this is not also the will of your brothers? 9.VII. 1; 8-10 If you choose to see yourself as unloving you will not be happy. 9.VII. 5; 1                                                                                                                               “Consider, then, that in this joint will you are all united, and in this only.”  9.VII. 2;1

“He [H.S.] is not deceived by anything you do, because He never forgets what you are. The ego is deceived by everything you do, especially when you respond to the H.S., because at such times its confusion increases. The ego is, therefore, particularly likely to attack you when you react lovingly, because it has evaluated you as unloving and you are going against its judgment. The ego will attack your motives as soon as they become clearly out of accord with its perception of you.”   9.VIII. 4; 3-6  
                                                     
If you choose to see yourself as unloving you will not be happy.”  9.VIII. 5; 1

P.S. My only hope is to change my mind about reality; that is to accept that my decision that reality is fearful,  and let it be reversed. Reality holds only truth, and truth cannot be fearful, though I can deceive my self with fear thoughts. The thoughts from dreams can never be solid, certain or pure, so that makes them fearful. The thoughts that come from Love are certain, pure, solid, uncontested, and nothing else. They appear fearful only to the sick egoic mind.
Our reality is that we are the Light of Love. Our purpose is to extend the light, the Love we are. When we choose to deny the Love that we are (seeing myself as unloving) then we will be unhappy.
This holds great relevance for me: “Being capable of tolerating unhappiness is the best way to push God away.”  (Mary Gerard; © 2006)

Mistaken Belief in the Sick Mind

Hello Everyone,
I have once again, returned to the space called home in my dream. In wanting more understanding in the thoughts that uphold my seeming illness, I asked H.S. for clarification.
These are 2 of the messages that I received from Spirit.  (Spirit calls me ‘Sara” from time to time).
The message dated the 21st, I had made up an experience, in which to learn that there is no loss in reality, and that I really want to see my brother’s innocence, not making sin real.

1/20/08 Spirit: There are only 2 categories of thought: real and unreal. You (while in the world) cannot judge what is real and unreal. That is why it is helpful to remind your self that you do not know what anything is for. In H.S. hands, it is used for good. In the deluded mind, anything can and will be used for the purpose of separation.
The way out of unreal thinking is to recognize the false thoughts and this you cannot do on your own. You have one with you, at every moment and every where, to discern the real thoughts from the unreal for you. This takes no efforting for you—- only willingness to follow, and allow the error thoughts to be undone.

1/21/08 Spirit:
When you can look beyond your brother’s body and past mind to the H.Spirit that he is, then are you free. If only for an instant that you look past the dream symbols to hold the truth, to love without attack, in that instant will you accept (receive) your healing.

The mind that is tortured with guilt will project, to be rid of pain and fear. It does not recognize that it’s projections are as false as the guilt that under lies them. Guilt is forever false because nothing changed reality; there is no sin. There are no unloving thoughts in the Thought of Love. There is no alien thought that can change the Mind of God. Love cannot create unlike Itself—- so It’s extension must be love and loving.

Sara, the guilt that you have laid on the body, is your call for help. And Love always answers. Do not ignore the symbols of Love that come moment to moment in your dream. They represent the Love that surrounds you, supports, protects and sustains you. Nothing in your dream truly does the same. When you imagine loss, then it seems you lose something in your world. If you dream of attack—- at you or from you—- you seem to encounter aggression in the world. Your thoughts can be shown to you, literally in an instant—- but your belief in time makes the effects of thought play out in sequence. This you choose, so that you can pretend the outside circumstances have nothing to do with you.

You pretend to forget the truth, to protect the dream that you’ve made. But this dream (that you feel so reluctant to over look) has no value; it is a crude charade to mask the Son of God, the Love that is eternal creation, unending Extension. Of this you cannot dream.

You dreamt that you abandoned God, and stole His treasure and laid waste to His dominion. This the sick mind does believe and tries to make real. This is the world you think you see and live in. But this is simply a reflection of fear thoughts projected on the veil, images that come from the mind that is tortured by it’s own remorse of what it mistakes as real. Now the guilt that you laid on the body, has put you to “rest” in the sense that you can not run hither and yon on imagined needs or quests. This is the divine opportunity to observe the thoughts and not attach to them. As you watch and give over the thoughts that once congested and stagnated, corrupting the peace in your mind, you will find that peace remains pure, and your wholeness was never touched. As you hand over the thoughts that separate to the H.S., you free your brother fm his perceptions as well as from your own. There is no confrontation in this, no turmoil. What Love created as whole, simply remains so. You attune your listening to the Voice for Love and nothing else.

Sara, this is what this practice period is about. Listening and following. Listening consistently.
Practice consistently to listen.

Take Fear Thoughts to the Light of Love

Dear Everyone,

I have had an eventful month, this Dec. In my dream I seemingly have experienced a “relapse” with symptoms of transverse myelitis. I went to the hospital on Dec. 8th, to WI University hospital on the 9th. I will be discharged on Jan 8th.

I was disappointed at first; then had expectations that I would return to my local hospital for rehab. I also learned what steroids can do to the skin tissue and veins—- which make it difficult for getting “poked” for blood samples. At some point, I asked H.S. for help, and received peace of mind. The following I received early one morning after Christmas.

Trauma, trauma, trauma—- what does it mean? Nothing—- a sad illusion, and if it is only illusion how can it be sad or happy? By definition, illusion is false, an image that is not here. Although the power of your mind can manifest thoughts, it does not make the images of a fearful mind true.

You need consistent practice in taking fear thoughts to the Light of Truth and allow them to go. To be consistent, simply be willing to question the validity of thoughts that rise to your awareness. Question whether you feel peaceful or tense? You know well the many variations of conflict and un-ease that signal the unrest of fear thoughts. You truly have no need of such thoughts, other than to learn to let them go. They merely show you the egoic system in operation to keep it’s flimsy charade going. You have no need of thoughts that claim that you have no purpose; that you need approval from others to survive; that you are at the mercy of a vengeful deity; that you are innocent victim.

The body’s eyes were made to see differences—- unless you choose differently. When you choose to question the “truth” of what you appear to see, hear, touch, and feel all around you, you are opening to the Truth. The choice you made seemingly a billion times before, is let go for a different choice. Does this choice bring peacefulness? Does it bring ease? It makes no difference what or why or when you chose to sense the false. The what and why and when analysis is merely the cover of more egoic thoughts, to “prove” it’s rational is real. Yet fear is never real. It’s reasoning is never valid.

You are as God created you. You are an extension of All That Is. You are wholly loving and wholly lovable.

The loving Voice for God will always direct you towards peace. When you choose not to see differences, you see wholeness/holiness. When you choose to see innocence, all corruption is seen as mistales, simply corrected. When you choose to see the calls for help and healing for what they are, you give the only remedy that can heal. When you see the guiltlessness in everyone, you give the real gift that Love offers to all.

You know well, the unpeaceful feelings that are conjured up by the sick mind. Do not let them go by unheeded, but take them quickly to the Light of Love. With every thought you turn over to Love, are a thousand more undone, are a thousand minds given peace. The simple choice to take the hurtful thoughts to the Light changes the direction of your mind, to the Direction of the Guide that never fails you. Think not that you have no purpose here—- for you are much more than a body in a dream of exclusion. Think not that God is mistaken in His creation. Your only choice is to follow Love; be you glad that you have already chosen it.

The healing of the little mind is not hard or abrasive or cutting. It is gentle, gentle, gentle. The healing of the mind is the gentle washing of waves over the feet; the gentle immersion into a relaxing pool; the velvet softness of sheets and clouds. The healing of mind is the last thing the egoic system fights against. When you join your mind to Love, it cannot follow. When you choose for Love, the false system can only be undone. It has no real power, no truth, no meaning. You are a Thought of Love in the Mind of Love. Thoughts leave not their source.

No Stress In Truth

Hello Lights,
These are the words that came to me from Spirit today…

You have heard that guilt is hell—this is because guilt is separation. The mad idea that the Son could be apart from His Father, Universal Source.
Such an insane idea did not exist in Love’s Mind—yet it happened in the tiniest milli-second that was an extension of Creator. It was healed the instant that it appeared, for it was completely false. Yet the mind of the Son seemed to hold two conflicting thoughts, mistaking both as real. It focused on the insane idea and forgot the idea of One.

Very simply, you are trying to unlearn the mistaken idea, but you cannot do this alone. You cannot gain knowledge from your self taught dream. You unlearn the false lessons or ideas by giving them to H.S.  By taking them to the light, you will be relieved of the backwards messages in everyone.

You find it easy to slip back to the forgetting mode of operating your dream. Yet I assure you that the remembering part of your mind is far far easier to maintain. There is no stress in holding truth as it is. There is no tiresome burden of holding away the gentle dawn of truth. You still think there is loss in giving up the dreaming mind. This is not so. You can cease your struggle of keeping the dream alive. When you give your dream thought (in any part) wholly to H.S., in that choice you will be free. When you wholly let go for the tiniest second, you will have no doubt, no fear to contradict the truth. In this instant you are freed from pain, from guilt.

To “learn” from the dreaming mind (d.m.) is not to unlearn. The d.m. replays the past over and over and over, trying to find new outcomes or new solutions. The d.m. has nothing that is real just because it chooses to sleep or forget it’s foundation. Your foundation is Love, nothing more and nothing less.

In the tiniest instant of truth, when you return your mind to Love, you are released, or you release the dreaming mind. From that instant you recognize the dream world for what it is and choose to see past the dream. You cease to struggle against the truth, and you stop carrying the past with you. The dream becomes less compelling, less valuable in your sight—for you accept without a doubt, the real Home from which you never left.

(And this after thought came:) Nothing in this world really matters. You are the one that has applied importance, value or trash to each thing. You have decided what is good and bad—and applied it to images to make it appear true. The only thing with value here, is the act of Love which is true forgiveness. Where there is forgiveness, is a spot where Heaven is welcomed and holiness shines into and from the minds that perceived that sin was real.

Forgiving is the miracle that frees the minds that were chained to guilt. Forgiving the world is your purpose here, as you give every thought of fear and hate to H.S. for complete change. There is nothing but nothing He cannot do—with your willingness

My Own Past Learning

Hello All,
This morning I received these words of love:

In my dream, I can reflect the shining light of Love, and bring guiltlessness to every mind that thinks it is separate and alone. I give my thoughts and sight to Holy Spirit, that I may learn the truth, and accept my place in Love’s lesson. I give my eyes, my tongue, my ears, my feet and hands to Him, to use for the miracles He spreads in certainty. In remembering that I do not know what anything means,  and asking for understanding, I am always given what I need to know or do or say. While I dream of separation I do not know what anything means, for my self taught lessons have obscured Love’s meaning, All that I have taught myself does not give me peace or understanding. I am willing to lay it all down, give room for H.S. to answer my call, and accept His perfect perception that heals my sick mind.

I gladly lay down the false, the guilt laden, the loveless thoughts of the insane mind. I gladly learn that the false is false and only the Truth is true. I accept it is only Truth that I want … only H.S.’s correction that reminds me of my wholeness—holiness.

I remember to use these words when I have sacrificed my peace:
“I do not know what anything, including this, means. And so, I do not know how to respond to it. And I will not use my own past learning as the light to guide me now.”  [T14. XI. 6: 7-9]

I am the holy Will of God Himself. There is no “other” will than His.
There is no will to conflict with His all encompassing Love and Joy and Peace.
I remain as He created me, along with every brother that I perceive.  Amen.

Choosing Happiness—Again

Hello Lights, the following are thoughts that came to mind this morning.

What do I want? I want the peace of God. To have peace, I must teach peace.

While I was seemingly immobilized with the paralysis, I was no longer banging my head into “what is.” I was not trying to change “reality” to my liking. I was accepting things just as they were…. no resisting, no squirming, no fighting, no worrying. In letting all things be as they were, I was trusting,
I was happy.  I knew that this “illness” was not God’s Will for me. I was looking for the witnesses that everything works together for good. I was seeing the witnesses for Love everywhere; being helpful.
I did not feel alone because I knew that H.S. was with me, and with others by guiding every thought, every person, every test, every outcome. Whatever is happening is working for good. Everything works together for good for my best interests.

As I looked at things and circumstances with “new eyes” I offered kind words, different thoughts to the people whose jobs involved “helping” others. By accepting God’s plan for salvation, I offered happiness (therein lies my peace) to others. I greeted the hospital staff with smiles, willingness, and gratitude. I found that being happy and extending light, was a gift to each person that was involved with my care-taking.

My “job” is to be happy—and extend happiness wherever, however it seems applicable. It is my part to turn every concern over to Holy Spirit, as it is not my job to try to make things work or to figure things out. There were some times when I was not at peace, not in joy. I would shortly realize that this was not the way I wanted to feel, that I had accepted the egoic outlook for some “outer” event. I would ask for H.S. help to see things differently or for correction in my thoughts. And because I was willing, I would receive the healing of His perfect perception. I felt blessed every day…. and learned that sharing joy is the true blessing; that love is extended in being happy.

I am currently practicing in letting go of old beliefs around being in a specific physical environment makes certain outcomes inevitable. When I returned home, I lost my focus on happiness, on my choosing to listen to the Voice for Love, on Holy Spirit’s insights. I lost focus as I allowed the old patterns of thought to follow suit, allowing the thread barren path of fearful thoughts to fill my moments. Everything became a struggle again; a sense of hopelessness evolved in me. I am learning that this need not be. Once again I am accepting the power of my choice. When I am not happy, that shows me that I have chosen wrongly. I choose again, having H.S. lead me, asking for correction, and opening my thoughts for healing, releasing the false thoughts of guilt. Choosing for Love is happiness, choosing for fear is unhappiness. Holiness is happiness.               

I share this last thought from Mary Gerard’s <u>The Mentor Within</u>©—“Being capable of tolerating unhappiness is the best way to push God away.”

Blessings and Happiness to All!
