X. The Equality of Miracles, P 5
5 The result is a weaving, changing pattern that never rests and is never still. It shifts unceasingly across the mirror of your mind, and the reflections of Heaven last but a moment and grow dim, as darkness blots them out. Where there was light, darkness removes it in an instant, and alternating patterns of light and darkness sweep constantly across your mind. The little sanity that still remains is held together by a sense of order that you establish. Yet the very fact that you can do this, and bring any order into chaos shows you that you are not an ego, and that more than an ego must be in you. For the ego is chaos, and if it were all of you, no order at all would be possible. Yet though the order you impose upon your mind limits the ego, it also limits you. To order is to judge, and to arrange by judgment. Therefore it is not your function, but the Holy Spirit’s.

Journal

I have become very aware of the changing patterns of my thoughts. It makes me tired just to think about it. But I have also noticed that it is not as chaotic in my mind as it used to be. And the change is not the result of me getting better at managing the chaos. It has happened because I have allowed the Holy Spirit to judge for me and to remove much of what is not true and not real. When the dark thoughts are gone, there is not so much to block the light.

What is left in my mind that still shifts and changes and leaves me uneasy in its unpredictability, is some form of fear for my children. I also notice the belief that I am not worthy and not loveable. These things show up as stories in my life so I know the beliefs are in my mind. But each time I see them in whatever form they take, I turn them over to the Holy Spirit. I look forward to one day soon having a clear mind. I visualize a serene and clear blue sky without a dark cloud to mar its perfect stillness.

I decide this is what I want, and I give the Holy Spirit the ok to work in my mind to bring it about. Judging and healing are His purviews, not mine. I am through trying to make life better and am ready to wake up from this insanity altogether. Holy Spirit, please heal my mind, and help me wake up from the dream of separation that has held my attention for so long, and has hidden my true nature from me. I am ready to remember God and to remember Self.

X. The Equality of Miracles, P 4
4 Perhaps you have been aware of lack of competition among your thoughts, which even though they may conflict, can occur together and in great numbers. You may indeed be so used to this that it causes you little surprise. Yet you are also used to classifying some of your thoughts as more important, larger or better, wiser, or more productive and valuable than others. This is true of the thoughts that cross the mind of those who think they live apart. For some are reflections of Heaven, while others are motivated by the ego, which but seems to think.

Journal

It is obvious to me now that this is true. I am sure that before I started becoming mindful of my thoughts, I never noticed this. I never noticed what an insane jumble my thoughts were, how contradictory, how perfectly useless many were. I judged my thoughts and categorized them, but I accepted them all because they were in my mind. I thought of them as mine and believed they defined me.

Lately, what I notice is that the ego thoughts are fewer and the God thoughts occur more than they ever did before. I think of love, of peace, of happiness. I think kind thoughts. I think of healing and atonement, and salvation. I think of gratitude toward God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit, toward my angels, and my brothers and sisters.

I think of freedom. I think of awakening to the peace of God. I think of undoing the ego and letting my thoughts be corrected. I think of decisions made continuously and remember that I want to make them with the Holy Spirit and not the ego. I think about how the pain I feel cannot be real and must only be in my mind, and that the body is not creative and so cannot make itself sick. I think of fear thoughts as unnecessary, just as guilt thoughts are unnecessary and unreal.

I think how all things in my life are there by my invitation and that I can change my mind when I don’t want them there anymore. I remember often that the thoughts I think with God are the only real thoughts in my mind. I think how I can release the other thoughts and then disregard the ego mind’s desire to entice me to them again. I think how powerful my thoughts are and how anxious I am to keep only those thoughts that are true. I think how holy my mind is and how motivated I am to have it purified of all things ego.
