Realizing God's Will Is Oneness

The Holy Spirit Teaches Only Loving Communication

Maybe some of you have seen the movie biography of Alexander Graham Bell starring Don Ameche.  There is a very moving scene in the movie which is the culmination of training that Bell has given a young boy who is hearing and speech impaired.  The boy loves his father very much and the boy’s father loves his son and both are heartbroken that they cannot speak to each other in the father’s language, even though they could speak in sign language.  Bell secretly works with the boy for many months, training him to use his breath, the placement of his teeth and tongue, and the working of his facial muscles to speak a word.  On Christmas eve, Bell, as a surprise for the father, asks for the boy to join the family group, which he does.  The boy sits on his father’s lap and with great effort manages to whisper a breathy “Faaa-thaaa,  Faaa-thaaa” while looking into his father’s eyes with love and excitement.  The father is overwhelmed with joy and love for his son and his efforts, and those of Bell, and tears of gratitude come to his eyes.  He cradles his son in his arms and carries him from the room full of people.

The beauty of this scene came to me as I was meditating on Lesson 321, “Father, my freedom is in You alone.”  The prayer of this lesson struck me and the words of Jesus, as if they were spoken directly to me.  As I went into the meditation, I saw Jesus with me.  Not just beside me, but also one with me in my mind.  One mind, one voice, with Holy Spirit as the connecting way.  Christ was the higher mind and a bridge or way of energy connected Christ to my mind.  This was Holy Spirit.  I also felt this wave of energy come into the chakra centers, particularly the throat chakra.

The scene from the movie came to me, and “Faaa-thaaa” came forth from my throat chakra over and over like a first attempt to really speak to my Father from the way connected to the Christ Self.  I imagined how delighted the Father was to hear this from me as the father of the boy was delighted to hear the results of his son’s efforts to learn to speak the father’s language.  I truly felt that my freedom is in the Father alone, and extended this thought to God, the Mother-Father God, the Creator.  I also felt as if the communication to God was coming directly through the way connected to the Christ Self and out through the throat chakra.  I felt that Jesus and I united as the Christ Self were saying “Faaa-thaaa” for the whole world, every brother and sister, and that Jesus was grateful for my efforts on behalf of God - giving expression to the truth that in God alone is our freedom.

Often we are tempted to think that money, power, position and other worldly possessions bring freedom, but this is a false freedom to move about in the illusion.  We mistake this for true freedom which is communication with God, the freedom to be our True Self unemcumbered by the dream and its burden of separated thoughts made physical in form.  There is freedom only in opening to the way of the Christ Mind which is in communication with God directly and with awareness.  I was surprised by the wave of energy flowing so strongly into the throat chakra bringing warmth.  I don’t know what this means.  I hope it is the opening of constrictions and the beginning of removing blockages so that my True Self, the Christ Self joined with Jesus can be more present.  I am willing for this to be, for I can see clearly that this is my true freedom.

ACIM Text on Page 280 says that if I have learned how to decide with God, “all decisions become as easy and as right as breathing.”  I am willing to learn how to decide with God.  I can do this by opening to the way of guiltlessness, the way of connection to the Christ Self, the way of Holy Spirit.  In this the means and end are one.  I am willing to focus on Holy Spirit’s way and be guided.  Just as Bell taught the boy to communicate with his father and opened the way for him to do so, Holy Spirit lovingly and patiently teaches everyone to communicate with the Father in love.

Over the summer I got caught up in the busy ways of worldly life.  There were many family concerns, especially illnesses and surgeries.  There were friends with proposals to take up new projects, helping them to manifest the vision given them by Holy Spirit - all beautiful service, but in the end not my role of service in the world.  My prayer time was not all I would like it to be.  As I now come back to my former routine of longer morning meditation and writing, I feel as if I am coming home.  There is a coming back to a place and feeling of comfort, surety and safety, but especially comfortability.  This is my greatest joy, my greatest happiness.  I can see this so clearly today.  As I let Holy Spirit train and heal my mind so that I can speak to my Father in love and feel His love for me, I am home.  This feels good and right for me.  This is right-mindedness and only good can come from the way of connection to the Christ Self, only good can come from whispering “Faaa-thaaa” when this comes from the connection with Jesus.

I decide either to be in the way of connection, listening to Holy Spirit,  or the temptation of the ego voice to feel guilt over being in the way of Holy Spirit and not in the world, but also for being caught in the world.  Listening to the ego’s voice, one sees guilt everywhere.  The ego voice is false and calls me only to confusion and anxiety.  I can practice being in the way of connection to Christ eyes, Christ ears, Christ heart and mind without guilt.  There is no guilt in the way of Holy Spirit.  There is only love and peace and innocence, the innocence of the child whispering “Faaa-thaaa” with love.  The way of Holy Spirit knows what is best and guides me accordingly.  I do not know how to best communicate with the Father, but Holy Spirit knows the way.  I cannot know what is best for the unseparated whole Christ Self without Holy Spirit’s help.

I choose today to practice the way of Holy Spirit in my mind.  I choose to practice in the quiet to really feel the connection within and listen.  I practice the connection, being aware of it and in it, listening and learning how to speak to my Father in love.  I extend love and peace quietly to all.  I will trust what I am experiencing and reach out in form to share as I am guided.  I know my Father cradles me in His arms in love as He listens to my little whisperings in a new voice, perhaps not clear and practiced as yet, but full of love, as I say, “Faaa-thaaa.”
