VIII. The Attraction of Love for Love, P 3
3 When you made visible what is not true, what is true became invisible to you. Yet it cannot be invisible in itself, for the Holy Spirit sees it with perfect clarity. It is invisible to you because you are looking at something else. Yet it is no more up to you to decide what is visible and what is invisible, than it is up to you to decide what reality is. What can be seen is what the Holy Spirit sees. The definition of reality is God’s, not yours. He created it, and He knows what it is. You who knew have forgotten, and unless He had given you a way to remember you would have condemned yourself to oblivion.

Holy moly, if God had not given us His Voice to remind us of the truth, we would be lost forever, we would have condemned ourselves to oblivion! As it is, we have hidden the truth from ourselves and think we have undone it. It is not up to us to decide on reality because we did not create it. Evidently, we can look away from it and see something else instead, and believe we have destroyed reality and made up our own, but reality is perfectly protected from our illusions.
The way we regain Heaven is to listen to the Voice for God. The Holy Spirit sees reality clearly and since the Holy Spirit is in our mind, we can learn to see it again as well. We are not lost because it is not God’s Will that His Son be lost. He has safeguarded us and kept our Self from harm. He has also given us the way to regain our memory and to return home.
This is why it is so important that we learn to hear the Holy Spirit. Jesus says that we can learn to hear only this Voice even here. This is why I sit with Spirit every morning and ask Him for His words, and why I ask all day long for His guidance. I don’t yet hear only His Voice, but I hear it more clearly as I make the decision for His Voice over and over again. He was given to us for us to hear Him, and to see with the same clarity as He sees.
There is no one who cannot learn to hear His Voice and all it takes is desire and practice. I hear His Voice as ideas and inspiration. I hear His Voice as thoughts that are not the thoughts I would think on my own. I hear His Voice when I step back and let Him answer, through me, a call for help. Sometimes, I hear His Voice through another as they say what it is I need to hear. I hear His Voice most clearly in the words that seem to write themselves on the page, and that is why I journal. But always, His Voice is available to me if only I am open to hear it.
The fact is that I must hear a voice. The choice I have is which voice I choose to listen to. I will choose an advisor and the advisor I choose will be either Holy Spirit or ego. I decide on nothing alone, because decision requires union. I am learning to choose to be in union with the Holy Spirit every time as I realize that not only do I not want to make decisions on my own, but that I cannot.
