Realizing God's Will Is Oneness

The Way to God

Holy Spirit is the Way to God.  It is the way away from the world of illusion to the Presence of God.  It is not always easy to turn away from the glamour of the world, its changing emotions and moods, its drama and its seeming familiarity to follow the unseen and unknown way.  At first, it would seem that there are sacrifices to be made.  There are “special relationships” of parents, spouse, child, siblings, friends, and of course, to things, that would seem to change if we changed and no longer gave them the importance we do now.  What would people say if we no longer invested importance in the emotional drama of the world?  What would we be if not the label we have in the world that we have given ourselves, the way we define ourselves?

Recently I have been looking at this quite carefully with Holy Spirit.  As I meditate on the idea that my only function is to heal my mind, I recognized the fear of how I think it might be difficult to live in the world while waking up, or actually awakened.  I recognized I feared how I would go on with the mundane of life or on the other hand its lure of excitement, how I would have conversations with people I am in relationship with who expect me to be the way I have always been with them, and how I would live without my “special place” in the world.  What is asked of an “enlightened soul?”  Exactly how many changes does it entail to live in the world with a healed mind?  I recognize my fear of not fitting in the world I know.

I gave this fear and doubt to Holy Spirit.  He showed me there is no fear to living in the world in love.  Living in love is all.  There is a different awareness with love that takes us through everything we think we see.  He said He would not bring me this far not to show me how to live in love completely.  I have not come this far down the path of trust not to be shown what it means for me to live in God’s Love.  It could be even more than I dream of now.  I felt more trust than I ever have before that Holy Spirit is the Pathway of Light.

I felt more my Self, my true Self, with Holy Spirit.  We are joined.  Once recognizing this state or feeling in meditation, one knows or recognizes it when not in meditation.  Or maybe meditation continues in this awareness because there is greater stillness in the mind.  Life becomes a kind of meditation experience wherein the recognition of the joining, of love, is real and the rest is just the ego script.  As to how to be with people in this new found awareness, I leave to Holy Spirit.  If I am in love and recognizing love as real, how can I go wrong?  The world may change, but the world is going to change anyhow.  The world may not look the same, but it won’t be the same anyway from one day to the next.  What difference?  Truly, I don’t need to change the world, just how I look at the world.

If I can’t relate to my mother, sister, spouse, child, or friend in the “special way” I did before, so be it.  I give special relationships to Holy Spirit.  I was asked to trust more that all would be very well if I was relating to them from the healed state of mind.  I am not sure what it would mean for me to relate to people only from true or unconditional love.  I do trust more than ever before that if I ask in the moment and listen, Holy Spirit will show me the truly loving way to be.  It is just the ego belief system at work in this fear that I won’t be loving in a way that would be understood and accepted.  This fear is silly and not justified in any form.(Lesson 240)

Of course, if Holy Spirit is guiding the way, we are joined with others in love, God’s love, and how could anything be amiss in this.  There is only the love of God present - just the One Love - how could it not be recognized by the “other” which is really not there anyway.  If the other ego is offended, so be it.  The One Mind of Love is glorified.  The One Self is aware.  That is really all that is important.  I don’t know exactly how this works as yet, but I am sure the Holy Spirit does.  The thought of living in the world while waking up, while awakened, as being difficult or fearful was a new recognition for me.  I am grateful it came to my awareness so that I can give it to Holy Spirit.  It is a barrier to the awareness of love in my mind, and my only desire is for my mind to heal.

There in only one opening to this healing.  It is the pathway of Holy Spirit in my mind, my joining with Him.  Accepting the state of being aware that I am joined with Him and living from that state of awareness is now the practice ahead.  The road ahead is under construction. and is unknown.  I practice trust as to where it goes.  The only question I am asked is how far down the road of healing I am willing to go with Holy Spirit.  I say with unequivocal certainty that despite any fear or doubt, I am willing to go all the way with Him.  I am willing to go through the opening to true Self and to the Presence of God, asking that all fear and doubt be healed.  I trust that Holy Spirit will gladly take it and transform it all, and transform me in the process.  I don’t know exactly what this means, I only know I am willing to go all the way there is to go.  This sounds so bold and so far-reaching to me.  Perhaps it is, but perhaps it’s not as far as I think.  I really have no way to judge.  Judging is not my job anyway.  All I can do is to ask, listen and trust.

I ask to live more and more in the awareness of the joint mind recognition, and letting this guide my way, letting all my saying and doing come from this level of awareness.  I can see that this takes a little adjustment because it is not like letting ego lead the way, which is being lost in the emotional drama or the feeling of what seems to be happening.  When the joint mind with Holy Spirit leads the way, there is a sense of detachment present, a different level of awareness.  The emotional component of the ego script is not present.  Instead, there is a steadiness, a calmness, an other worldly peacefulness, a knowing that all is well despite the trauma-drama that seems present.  There is no roller-coaster ride of changing emotions and moods.  There is the awareness of something more that is present.

Yes, it may be hard sometimes to let go of the world and all its “specialness” hypnotic trance to go on a road to the unknown and unseen destination, journeying to recognition of the changeless and eternal.  Perhaps it is not for everyone at this moment.  All I can say is that it is for me.  And it is for everyone who wants to get off the merry-go-round of the world and experience the greatest joy possible, the Love of God.  Would I sacrifice God for the colorful world?  No, because I am now trusting that in God’s World, Heaven, there is only life, all the color I could ask for and only the greatest joy possible.  There is no sacrifice in letting go of the illusions of the world to experience the Presence of God.  Would I choose illusions of love over the reality of true love? No, I don’t. I choose God.  I choose Love.  I choose the unknown and unseen way to Him.  Of course, I am there already, but I have forgotten. 

The Way to remembering is Holy Spirit.  There is no other way.  There is only the Way of the One Mind unfolding Itself in Love.  I must be on this way, for I can be on no other.  I can turn away from the world.  I see that I can and am ready to really begin doing this.  I am ready to give all fear and doubt to Holy Spirit and to trust the way He shows me.  I go forth in confidence that the way is clear and set.  It will be the way Holy Spirit shows me.  I trust my way as I trust others will go the way He shows them.  The destination is the same- God - and in this respect the ways are all going in the same direction.  The way is the same in that we are all on it, the Way, for the Way is Holy Spirit.  He is the Way and He shows the way.  Holy Spirit is the Pathway of Light.  This we all share.  He gives us all the same tender loving care and individualized instruction of the way to God that is understandable to us.  How brilliant!  How wonderful!  How grand is His Plan of Atonement!
