Mistaken Concepts

by Rev. Mary Manke, O.M.C.

Rev. Mary MankeI opened to Holy Spirit when I woke: Holy Spirit, I feel so hopeless; discouraged; alone. I want to start over. I want to stop thinking that I know anything. Where do I begin?  

Spirit: Dear one, you have chosen again. Yes, of course you can begin again — it is this you do whenever you choose again. You misunderstood your task, believing that you had to change every single thought of fear when it appeared. All that you really need do is to let go of any thought that discomforts you, allowing that it be given to Me. That is My function; I am here to relieve you of the burdens and the mistaken concepts that you hold. I am here to show you what is valuable and what is not.

You asked, “What am I here to learn?” Dear one, your only purpose is to let go of fear. Fear thoughts do not serve you, not in any way, shape or form. Any instant that you let go of fear, the Light flows through you from Heaven and touches all the sleeping minds. In letting go of fear thoughts, you fulfill your function. By letting go of what is unreal, the real is revealed to you. You allow the Truth to fill the spot that fear once held. All you need do is give the fear thought to me. Your little willingness has all the strength of Heaven upholding it. When you let go of the meaningless (fear), the whole beauty of Truth radiates through and around you. Love extends without end, without disruption. Your true Heart abides in the radiance of Love.

Return to your Workbook lessons. Start at number one. Observe the thoughts that pop up and do not be tempted to use them as an excuse to retreat or stop the lessons. You deserve to be wholly in peace. You deserve to be wholly happy. You deserve complete, unshakable Love. As you choose to let go of fear, Love will comfort you. You truly have nothing to lose, only the removal of false ideas. By letting Me remove fear thoughts, you allow in the truth that you have it all and you are still as you were created. You allow Love to be as It is and as you Are.

To be as you Are is to be as Love created you. This is to leave the past behind, to let the past go, for it cannot be here at all. The past is gone. What is gone can have no effects. Therefore, do not bring the past with you. Dispel the notion that the past makes you what you are today. You made not your Self. Your belief in what never happened has made a seemingly solid world, a seemingly separate life. Your belief in the impossible has made the unreal seem real.  

I can help you if you ask. I can relieve you of the thoughts of the past when you are aware of them. Your only real responsibility is to accept your Self as Love created you.
