Recently I wrote to Jesus in my journal…feelings of defeat, hopeless, crying were filling my mind. His response was:
“Sara, the ego is always for your defeat—-since it believes that you will usurp it’s kingdom, it’s throne. Even though the ego is a mistaken thought, it has effects that seem real to you. You have put your belief in what you “see” outside of the body. Your belief in the outer forms keep you chained to the insane mind, to illusions. You are truly delusional.
“When you take a step back from the screen, that is when you are willing to see differently. When you step back and do not attach meaning to anything—-you allow Holy Spirit to fill in with truth. Your frustration stems from the idea that you should be doing things differently. If you did everything differently, then you would be “happy.” Learn that you are not connected to the empty ego thoughts of others, or yourself. Only Love can be shared—-only loving thoughts are real.
“You are connected to All by the Christ Mind. The random, senseless thoughts that bounce in your mind and other’s minds are only a reflection of the condition of the mind. A mind at peace reflects love and knows the truth, Oneness.
A mind in conflict reflects hate and fear, dreaming it is alone, attacked, and without hope of release. The insane dream can only be the latter.
“Learn that stepping back is the way to peace—-for HS will take you there, within your Self to the home of peace. Stepping back allows you to follow HS’s lead in all ways and all doings. Remember that you do not know—-and be willing to learn.”
Me: I find that no matter what Spirit’s response is to me—-It always comforts me, like a sigh of relief. The response often reminds me that “my” egoic thoughts are not real. Perhaps my question to myself is “When will I really be tired of playing this meaningless game?”
