A New Way to See

Another Answer

I am in the experience of moving again, that is moving forms in the dream to another location. I am given opportunties to let go of the ego thought train, as things shift in my dream.

An example from yesterday: Having been in this city for a relatively short amount of time, I do not have many friends to ask favors of. I seemed to have a “problem” in finding help to move a heavy object. One person that had offered his help, would not be able to come on the day when another friend’s truck was available. Each time the ego would grab onto the thoughts about this circumstance, I would repeat to myself, “I can hardly wait to see the good that comes from this.” I was accepting that there was another way to “see” this “problem,” a way that I could not fathom. I was willing to be shown another way, letting Spirit lead me.

I found myself asking an acquaintance, if he would be willing to help move a heavy piece of furniture. He said he would. If I had stayed in the worry mode, or allowed fear to run the train of thinking, I would have not felt “qualified” to even ask this person for assistance.

In looking at my mistaken thoughts I have found, I am mistaken in thinking that I am tired. I am mistaken in thinking that some one is taking advantage of me. I am mistaken in thinking that I am lacking in any way. I can not think by myself, I either choose the ego train of thought, or I choose to see differently and accept the sight that comes from sharing Love’s Mind.

The True Voice is in my mind all through the day, I can listen to this Voice any time that I am so willing. I grow weary of listening to the ego system, it is what seems to make me tired. I feel weakened when it seems some one is taking undue control over my choices or life. Yet it is really my projection of fear that causes feelings of weakness. I feel lack when I have listened to ego system of unworthiness. If I should accept any gift of love offered to me in the dream, the insane thoughts of attack keep me chained to illusions of scarcity, limitation, and guilt. The insane thoughts, I am learning to recognize as attempts to keep me hypnotized, in a delusional state. The insane voice tries to keep the separation “real” in my mind. I am still practicing on changing what voice I listen to as I go through the day.

I am not alone in the thoughts I experience. The thoughts can come from a fear base, or they can come from Love’s foundation. On some days I find it a certain relief that the thoughts of which I am aware, are not my real thoughts. They are foolish imagining, a silly whim to attempt to prove that I am something other then what Love created. As such thoughts are given over to Holy Spirit for correction, then I become aware of the real thoughts that I share in Love. When I accept correction for mistaken thoughts, I am given the freedom that comes from a shift in my mind. How grateful I am for Spirit’s constant Answer! How grateful I am for a “better way.”

Forgiving A Past

I am so grateful for the lessons in the workbook on forgiveness. They help me acknowledge my mistakes; my mistaken thinking which keeps me preoccupied with illusion.

You know, I’m beginning to “see” more clearly. I see that I was not able to forgive the illusion I made about a friend. I felt that I wanted to “change” my mind, and that the other person was not ready to. I wanted to change my mind, and yet allowed the ego to hold it’s perception of the the mess I seemed to be in. In my not letting go of the illusion, I only kept it, and it constantly reflected my beliefs back to me.
I find there are still parts of my mind that need forgiving, as I cannot yet see past the illusion of a messy chaotic house.  To me that means there is a ‘past’ that I have not forgiven, that I mistake as real (just as I mistake a messy house as real).

As a child, I did not grow up in a “picture perfect” house. As I went to school and saw other houses that my friends lived in, those houses always appeared in “better” condition then my house. Now, the ego thought tries to justify it’s view, that I don’t need to live in that type of environment any more, so I was “right” in leaving the space that disturbed me so much.
But, perhaps that messy space was only a reflection of my own cluttered mind, my own chaotic thinking. It certainly reflected a need to save things, because of the fear that “I” wouldn’t have enough in the future.

I am willing to give up the thoughts that reflect the idea of “not enough,” of scarcity, lack, and deprivation. The ego system has kept me hypnotized far too long (in my opinion). There is another way to look at this, another way to find the “safety” that some aspect is seeking. It comes by accepting Holy Spirit’s word or feeling or vision. There is relief in accepting Holy Spirit’s help, and by letting go of what I thought was real, whether it was “real” in my distant past or was “real” recently. What I thought was real, was never real at all.

I am willing to give up fear thoughts. I can do this with Holy Spirit’s guidance, as He gives me the thoughts of Love. I still can have bumpy rides with the ego thoughts, but I keep asking for help from the Teacher that would free my mind. And my persistence pays off. I learn that one fear can be shrugged off, as I understand it is totally invalid. Spirit has carried me through some very bumpy rides, and when I am finished with one, I try my best to remember the truth that Spirit gave me when the next fear ride pops up. When I am able to remind myself of the truth, I find it easier to hear Spirit in my current ride. The bumpy fear rides get shorter as I choose to listen to Spirit. That encourages me greatly! Thank you Spirit!

My False Thoughts

Hello Friends, I recently received the following from Spirit one evening; lots of thougts to ponder, and I am still “pondering” them. Hope they may bring some Light to you.

What if everything that you ever told yourself, was not true? What if everything in the little mind, has been totally false? Is that an interesting thought?
If any thing that you have told yourself has been false, then what you see cannot exist. The floor you stand on, is not there, the couch you sit on is not there, the computer that you type into, is not there. Anything that you think you see, is not there. It is only a dream image, an image that is made in your mind.

You ask: “is absolutely everything a false idea?” If it originated in the little mind, the wrong mind, then it has no truth, and therefore no meaning. It is false, because the wrong mind can only see images that it has made, it’s thoughts are images. If the wrong mind is all that you are aware of, then all you “see” are it’s images, projected outward.

If you truly realized that all that you “see” is from your little mind, then you would not be so threatened to let it go. You would know that the image represents a false idea, and being false, it can not harm you or help you. Being false it is merely nothing. The belief in separation is really nothing, but it is true to you, because of your belief in it. We start with little beliefs, so that you will not feel so threatened with loss or sacrifice. We look at little beliefs, and let them be dismantled gently, by the Hand of Holy Spirit.

You soon then, experience relief, and come to welcome sharing the beliefs you hold with Holy Spirit, especially when you want to let them go. In experiencing relief from pain, or tension, or miscommunication, you then look to Holy Spirit for more guidance, more insight, more of correct perception that He gladly gives. You begin to trust His perception in more circumstances,  situations, interactions, and you seek His gentle way in daily life. You become more aware of thoughts that bring you pain or simple discomfort. You are willing to let go of what brings discomfort, on more and more levels. And eventually, even the idea that all you see is a false image, will not threaten you. The idea that you can change your mind and your thoughts, will bring great comfort and ease to you, and your living.
