Study of Text, Chapter 12: VII. Looking Within, P 4. 3-28-16

VII. Looking Within, P4
4 You cannot see the Holy Spirit, but you can see His manifestations. And unless you do, you will not realize He is there. Miracles are His witnesses, and speak for His Presence. What you cannot see becomes real to you only through the witnesses that speak for it. For you can be aware of what you cannot see, and it can become compellingly real to you as its presence becomes manifest through you. Do the Holy Spirit’s work, for you share in His function. As your function in Heaven is creation, so your function on earth is healing. God shares His function with you in Heaven, and the Holy Spirit shares His with you on earth. As long as you believe you have other functions, so long will you need correction. For this belief is the destruction of peace, a goal in direct opposition to the Holy Spirit’s purpose.

Journal
In Heaven my function is Creation, which I share with God. Healing is my function here in time and space. I share this function with the Holy Spirit. So it becomes my work here to clear the way for the Holy Spirit to do His healing work through me. I do this as I allow Him to heal my mind of untrue thoughts. My mind can be very dark if I allow ego thoughts to proliferate, but as I notice these thoughts and ask that they be removed, the mind is light and in this light the Holy Spirit works Its miracles.

As I see His manifestations in my life, He becomes as real to me as the world used to be. It’s funny to see this change. I used to believe in the world and doubt Divinity and now it is completely reversed. I was speaking to someone about miracles this weekend. He sees what I see but interprets it differently. Things that clearly reverse the laws of the world leave him unimpressed. He sees each one as having some “logical” explanation, even if he can’t find that explanation. We see what we want to see.

I suppose that is why we each have to experience the miracles ourselves. I have to open my mind and allow the Holy Spirit to work miracles through me if I want to know the Holy Spirit exists in me. It is not enough that I see someone else believes in miracles or even experiences them.  It must be my experience to be real to me.

I have seen things in my own life that were beyond the laws of the world, physical healings, for instance. But the miracles that astound me and convince me are the healings of my mind. Sometimes it requires time for me to accept and thus allow these healings to be manifested through me, and sometimes it is instantaneous. As they occur more often, I become more convinced and thus more accepting, and the idea of the Holy Spirit, and healing and miracles becomes as dependable and as expected as gravity. Gratitude has become the ocean I swim in daily.
