See the Light That You Are

by Rev. Mary Manke

imageRecently, my mind has been clouded with thoughts about the Lupus I seemed to have asked for in my dream. This morning I had softened to allow in the following message from Spirit: I see the Light that you are — you are so loved.

By listening to the ego voice, you think that it is true. You feel threatened, alone, defeated by the dis-ease. The ego “asked” for this, and you choose forgetfulness to look outside the mind for cause. Yet cause is in your mind only. The ego part of mind tries to attack the real mind, which is impossible to do. Then you experience conflict. Conflict or dis-ease appears in the body.

This dis-ease is another chance to surrender the isolation plan, the separation dream. This is another opportunity to lay aside what you think you know and be willing to step into the un-knowing. It only seems unknown to the false mind because that part has denied Love and Love’s purpose. To the real mind the unknown is Home, complete, whole, pure and infinite. To the false mind, fear is it’s ally, a companion on the way to “hell.” To the real mind, fear is not heard, nor seen; not felt or used.

The dis-ease seems to hold the separation plan in place. It seems to make the whole idea of separateness real. It seems to make the body real, so that you forget that the real Self is Spirit. The real mind is Spirit, which is unseen with physical eyes.

This dis-ease is another way to let go of the plan that never works, the plan made only to fail. A false plan is really no plan. A false plan conflicts with your will — which is the Will of One. The false mind is highly threatened when you decide to choose differently. It will use any and everything to dissuade you from dropping its plan. It will make up more conflict, distractions, desires to fill your mind. It will do everything to keep old habits and rituals intact. It thinks that it knows what is “best,” but all it does is seek for its survival and not real life. It seems that to change you must be very strong, yet it takes only your true desire and a little willingness to manifest change of mind.

When you have willingness (being open to another answer or another way to think or see) then are you freed from the chains of conflict, confusion, doubt and fear. In willingness you are freed from thoughts of differences and loss. In willingness you are given all that you are open to receive. In willingness you accept each step as it comes, taking you toward the true goal of Love.

With willingness you lay down the plan of separation, you see that that plan is meaningless. With willingness the idea of dis-ease is given to Holy Spirit to use in Love’s plan. His purpose and knowing make your little willingness a passage into peace and love that enfolds all.

With willingness you give Holy Spirit the “chance,” which is the only sure thing, to interpret your experience for you. With willingness you return to your true nature and natural response to any call for love. Your little willingness can indeed move mountains! Your little willingness enfolds the world in Love until the dream of separation and guilt is undone.
