What Does Giving Our Day to Holy Spirit Mean?

by Revs. Robert & Mary Stoelting

imageThis world is not made by our Source, which is undivided Love. Separation is not where Love’s oneness would have us be. In fact, undivided Love knows that we are not really separate bodies and that we are only dreaming a dream of having separate lives that fluctuate and change. The Love we truly are knows that we never really left our real Home in Heaven.

In Text, Chapter 25 we are told, “The Christ in you inhabits not a body. Yet He is in you. And thus it must be that you are not within a body. What is within you cannot be outside. And it is certain that you cannot be apart from what is at the very center of your life.” T-25.Intro.1:1-5

We are also told, “The world you see is based on the ‘sacrifice’ of oneness. It is a picture of complete disunity and total lack of joining.” T-26.I.2:1-2

So how does realizing this help us deal with the stresses that come up daily in our lives? The truth is we can’t go through our ‘life’ in peace thinking we are alone and on our own. When we think it is left up to us to decide on our own what anything means, we are mistaken and will not be in a state of peace.

In ACIM Text, Chapter 15 we are taught that the proper use of time for us now is the attainment of Holy Spirit’s peace. “Can you imagine what it means to have no cares, no worries, no anxieties, but merely to be perfectly calm and quiet all the time? Yet that is what time is for; to learn just that and nothing more.” T-15.I.1:1-2

When we give our day to the Holy Spirit, we are giving up the role of being the author of our dream script and handing it over to our true Self, Who knows how to guide our day in a way that is truly helpful to everyone. 

The following is a guided meditation from Miracles Practitioner course 910: Living in the World While Waking Up. We find that it helps us when we wake up in the morning to orient our minds to the healing touch of the Holy Spirit:

Focus on the idea that you are willing to relax… You are willing to soften and let go of tension…
Focus on the idea that you are willing, right now, to be in a state of ease…

You are willing to let yourself be aware of the peace that is your true Nature… You are willing to experience the peace of your true Self… (Allow peace to fill your mind.)

You realize right now, that you are willing to open up to what is behind the false mind… the awareness of Love’s Presence… You are willing to open up to be aware of and feel the truth about the real you… your real Beingness in wholeness… in Oneness… in Universal Love…

You are willing to let in and feel your true innocence… You are willing to open up and experience the Presence of Love…
the peace… the radiant Light that you are… Your only reality… You are now willing to remember that you are your real Mind, the Mind of Love… You are willing to remember that you are not the limited thoughts that you have identified with… You are not the limited self-identity.

You are willing to open up… to remember the truth… to return to your real Self in the Mind of Love… You are willing to connect with the Eternal Spirit of Love in everyone… You recognize this truth in everyone…  You feel It… You know It… You know you are one with It…

You… right now …let in the awareness of the Eternal Present… You reconnect with the One Mind that lies behind all illusions of form, time and space… You feel the peace… You feel the Presence of Love…

You recognize that you are in the Eternal Now… You gladly soften into the Eternal Now… Everything else falls away, and disappears in the gentleness of Universal Love… Love softens any remnants… and they fall away… The peace of the one Mind of Love is all that remains… It fills you completely…

This presence of eternal peace… is your Identity… You identify with this experience of peace… You witness your true Reality — the one Mind of Love — which includes all peace… all true happiness… all true joy… You are immersed in this Beingness… It is the real You… You feel the peace… the contentment… You are willing to hold this awareness of peace… this presence of quiet contentment and wholeness in your mind…

As you do, this deep peace washes away all fears… It is like an internal mind wash… This Presence of quiet contentment and deep peace transforms every thought that pops up from the limited, false mind that thinks it is separate…

This Eternal Presence of wholeness, contentment and peace stays with you eternally… is you eternally… This Beingness is coming from your right mind, the one Mind of Love, your true Self… You remember that all is one in this Beingness…

As you practice your willingness to be aware of Its constant presence, in every now moment, It heals your mind of all the fearful false ideas of the limited, false mind… You see that the false mind is not you… You realize that you are contented, fulfilled, and happy… You are patient… because you see that you are whole, perfect and complete in this Presence now…

You allow this Presence of peace and Love and joy into your mind… You give It welcome to reside in your awareness… This Eternal Presence, this Beingness of Love… is what you are… It is always in you… You give your real Mind a home. You accept It into your awareness.

Imagine going through your day holding on to the awareness of the Eternal Presence of your spiritual nature… the presence of peace… the presence of knowing your real Self as you go through your day… as you seem to live in this world of form…

As you go through your day, see the opportunities present themselves to extend this Presence of peace to everyone you come in contact with, or even think of… You feel so contented, so fulfilled, as you are aware of your true purpose — that of focusing on the Eternal Spirit behind the form in everyone and everything… You realize you are lifting the veil of forgetfulness… seeing past the illusions generated by the false mind… to the one truth, the one Presence of Love that is the All…

Your happiness overflows, as you now know the secret to successfully living in the world while waking up… You know the true solution to every conflict that shows up in your dream. You remember to open up to the Presence of your real Mind, which helps you see all the false-self ideas as not you… You see the rest of your life is for practicing opening up, right now, to the Eternal Presence of Love that is always there, and letting It heal all the false ideas…

You feel so happy… You have the answer to every problem. You are free because your Eternal Spirit is in charge.
