Study of Text, C 14: VII. Sharing Perception with the Holy Spirit, P 1. 5-17-17

VII. Sharing Perception with the Holy Spirit, P 1

Journal

Even though perception is never truth, it can come very close and it is what we have to work with here in time. As a matter of fact, as long as we are in time it is essential. As Jesus tells us, it is the means by which ignorance is brought to knowledge.  And, ignorance must be brought to the truth. In keeping them apart, we keep ignorance in place and truth remains obscure to us.

If someone has done something unkind to me and I think they are guilty of doing it, this is an example of ignorance. If I hold onto that grievance, I will suffer. I might not connect the suffering with the grievance, but that will not prevent the misery. But if I realize that my unhappiness is caused by a belief in my mind, then I can ask for clarity and for healing.

This is how I bring the ignorance to knowledge, and knowledge reminds me that I but do this to myself and no one is guilty. Peace is restored to my mind and thus to my life. It is a simple, reliable process. On the other hand, if I hold the grievance away from the truth, it is equally certain that I will remain in a hell of my own making. It becomes a simple matter of deciding what I want, light or darkness.
