Defense Against the Truth

The insane mind tries to keep its illusions. It defends against the truth, with intensity, ferocity and with guile. It will “do” anything to keep truth from entering its abode, and makes the false appear to take the place of truth.

This is only foolishness, not to be taken seriously. This is the desire to see special wishes come true. The faith or belief in these wishes makes this world appear very solid and real. The insane mind does not want to wake, yet beneath all it’s noise and magic, it’s grandiosity and pride, there is the truth. And the truth calls to you again and again to be Itself. The truth is hidden by layers of clouds and screens of smoke. It waits eternally patient for your awareness, for your change of mind. Truth holds no grievances, because there is nothing in the clouds or smoke to fight against. It knows you will wake and return to the only Home you’ve ever known. It knows that your true will cannot be denied, and this true will will bring you Home with Light shining everywhere and at once.

The good new is that you are not the insane mind, though it seems often to be the one part that you are aware of and place your focus on.
There is a part of you that knows and accepts the truth. There is a part of you that holds every answer to any question, that lays the truth before you in any circumstance. There is a part of you where peace is welcomed and love is given room. This part of you has never been away or disconnected from you. You may choose dreams in place of the awareness of this eternal part of you, but dreams cannot touch or change it.

You can learn to choose again. To choose for awareness of this part that seemed so distant to you. You can learn that this part can only help you and not deliver punishment, pain or death to you. You can learn that what was hidden was only your perfect innocence and love. The part of you that was denied, asks only that you open and receive the gift of truth. This part of you that can never depart, must be one with you. It has never been separate from you, and what is part of something must be in the whole. What appears to be part of you, in reality is the only Part, the only “you”.

This loving Self that you seem to connect with on “certain” occasions, is what you really are. The loving Self IS you, not the fragmented fantasy image that you dreamed.
The loving Self is your one Identity. As you allow the truth to be remembered more and more, you will find all fear removed in accepting this Identity. All the fear-generated ideas around the body will be released.

The practice to remember the truth, to welcome the truth, seems to take time. But with every instant of practice, you shorten time. In each instant of accepting truth, you move closer to Home, saving eons of time in the dream.

A Dream Life Like…..

I’d like to mention, that this anology came to me from Spirit, shortly before rising this morning.

The dream life is like a wheel chair. It is a place of limitation, restriction, self imposed trials. You mistakenly think that this is what you deserve; it is the place you are “put” because of your “attack” on your Father. The hidden belief that you must pay for your transgression plays out on a endless loop of video tape.

How do you leave such a wheelchair??

In some cases, little by little, some cases you have assistance to stand, some cases you leap up in one bound, totally uninhibited. The manner in which you leave is your choice. It is made by the decision of which style of living you would rather have.

The “security” of the wheelchair can seem very good, as safe and comfortable space. You appear to be out of harms way. Yet, this appearance hides the fact of your true security, your true harmlessness and invulnerability.

In leaving the wheelchair little by little, it appears to take much time and effort. It appears to take another “body” to give directions, to train the weak one how to stand, how to take steps, how to move, walk. The trainer builds strength in the weak one, so that eventually the strength is built back to free movement.

In cases where there is assistance to stand, sometimes it is enough to fill the weak one with inspiration and determination to be free from the chair. The choice for freedom cannot be denied and this “energy” fuels the body into action.

The leap out of the wheelchair is like a leap of faith. The choice for freedom is made without qualifiers, without compromise. There is an inner conviction inspired by a deep knowing and acceptance of the truth. The deep inner knowing transforms the little beliefs of specialness. The shift or mind correction occurs without effort. The limited thoughts are released. It is effortless to rise, walk or even fly.

In the dream life, you need the Trainer to give you certain direction, that will build your inner strength, that will develop the habit of asking the Trainer within for help. A new thought becomes strong with practice, with practice it becomes habit, until from habit it becomes the natural thing to do.

In the dream life, you have constant assistance, which is often denied. Or you think that you have a better outcome, then what is being offered you. You think you can know what makes for your happiness. Here is the choice of not deciding on your own, to take the assistance, and then appreciate the outcome and advance that you receive by accepting the assistance from the One Who knows.

In the dream life it seems to be impossible to have a leap of faith. This again is nothing more then choice. You could be instantly free of your limiting thoughts and restricting beliefs. You deny the power of your choice, the power of your mind, because accepting Love, you would have to deny that the dream world is real. You have limited yourself in the dream life, and are filled with anxiety at the idea of letting this life “go.” Still, when you reach your limit of pain, you decide that there must be something more then the endless circle of giving to take, defend and attack, hide and seek.

You have within you the place that you seek, the safety that seems to elude you, and the love that is beyond understanding. Within you is the key, the door and the Home that you search for while in the dream. A small taste of the truth, a sample of the peace, an inkling of the Love that abides within you, is all that you need to not find value in the dream as before. This truth, this peace and Love is biding within and calling you to return. Behind all the noise of the dream world, that Calling is there, the gentle urging, the quiet feelings of another way.
Choose to listen. Choose to receive. Choose to practice.

The better way is within you. The freedom is within you. The Love is within you. Always, Always, Always.

The Voice for Love

I recently had the room to join in the Saturday morning service offered via a phone conference line with Pathways of Light. It was perfect timing for me, to be refreshed with Spirit’s messages.  In the following thoughts, to lessen any confusion for the reader, Spirit often calls me “Sara.”

Spirit said to me: “You are part of your Source, Sara. You are a thought in the Mind of Love.
“The only Voice there is, is the Voice of Love—-all other voices are hallucinations; a made up script from a delusional mind.
You always have the choice of to listen to the true Voice, or the the voice of illusion. You have the choice, to join in happiness, with the correction of the loving Voice. You are never without the Voice, for It came with you into the dream.”

So, the Voice for Love is still with me. It never leaves. I need only be willing, I need only open and listen. I know how to do that, I have not forgotten or “lost the touch.” The ego idea would rather have me believe that I am alone, and cannot reach my Inner Voice. It would like me to stop listening, so it tries to convince me that I have failed, and cannot bring back the Inner Voice that corrects all error in my mind.

I have noticed lately how much the little voice sounds like a spoiled child. It wants what it wants; it does not like to wait; it demands attention; it demands that it’s needs are met instantly. It demands that it is right in whatever it is choosing.

It is a good thing to notice how this little voice is in every thought,  making comparisons, making judgments. It tells me daily of the (seeming) flaws it sees in me, trying to get me to follow it’s direction. It is good for me to be aware of this “child” so that I can turn to my Inner Teacher for the new perspective, the perspective of Love. Since I made up the little voice, I can now be responsible in turning a “deaf ear” to it’s demands and judgments. To me, it is like walking away from a child that is throwing a tantrum. You see that it can’t harm itself, then walk away.

In turning away, I seek the silence so that I may hear the Voice for Love. I seek for correction of my errors in thinking or non-thinking. I turn inward, going to the silent, warm, loving space that waits for me. It is always there, it is the place I find the Holy Spirit. It is the place where I find comfort, and with openess, my release from fear.

I want to make this turning inward such a habit, that is is second nature for me; that it will be the instant response to my feelings of despair or the thoughts of judgment. I need to practice, and practice and practice, to let this new way become a habit. I need not condemn myself when I see that I have slipped and mistakenly followed that little voice again. I can accept that it was another mistake, and be open to receive the correction of the Voice of Love, that brings certain relief from any pain. I simply ask for help in my practicing, I ask and receive the certainty that Love heals all things, and mends every piece of my mind.
“Truth corrects all error in my mind.”
How blessed are we, how very loved are we, as we accept the Help that is part of us.
