VI. The Light of Communication, P 2

Journal
This explanation seems very simple to me. My dark thoughts are protected from the Holy Spirit when I insist I am guilty because I have them. They are dispelled when I stop defending these ideas and let love heal them instead. It is truly the easiest thing in the world to do. It only seems hard when I listen to the ego’s dire warnings.

I used to think that when I was sad and discouraged, there was nothing I could do about this emotional state. Slowly, I proved to myself that I could let these feelings go if I asked the Holy Spirit to show me how to see them differently. If I gave them to the Holy Spirit, I could let love undo them. But I would notice the feelings would re-emerge when I was tired and didn’t have the energy to deal with them.

The return of the feelings at a time I felt vulnerable would scare me. I wondered if I was wrong about the whole thing and if I was forever trapped in my dark mind. Then one evening, I told the Holy Spirit that I was tired of this and, that I wanted to claim my happiness all the time.

I told Him that I didn’t know what to do about the sadness that would creep in at night and the fear and guilt that resulted, but I knew that He did and I put it in His hands. Holy cow! That was it! Now, if the sadness tries to return, I just laugh at it. It is nothing but smoke and mirrors. I just say no to sadness, and the feeling melts away.

Sadness is just one form of darkness, but it is the same with all forms, guilt, fear, anger; they all dissipate when given to love. I have a couple of dark thoughts that have been harder for me to turn over to Spirit. It is harder, I think because I think it is harder. But each time they come up, it is a little easier and so I continue to practice this process until I master it.
