A New Way to See

The Bottom Line

These thoughts came to me after reviewing the daliy lesson of “I seek a future different from the past.”

The bottom line is that in my insanity I’m trying to make separation real. This endeavor puts my mind in conflict, trying to use 2 opposing belief systems. There is only one Will, and my true will is in accord with the Will of Love. In my insanity I think that my will can be different then God’s Will. I mistake my insane thoughts for truth. I think that separation happened, so I am condemned by a vengeful god. The insane mind scrambles to try and keep itself intact. It tries to direct every thought, belief, and action; it grasps tightly to its dream images. What a sorry picture this is! This mind, filled with delusions can do nothing. Only my belief in this mind gives it existence.

Without turning each meaningless thought over to H.S. for correction, I will be preoccupied with the images I have made. This is not the present, but the past layered on the present moment. Without willingness to accept correction, I am lost in my illusions. Do I really prefer to see insane images in place of Christ’s innocence? Christ’s innocence is all there is to see. His voice is all there is to hear.

My only escape from dreams of guilt is my willingness to turn each insane thought over to Holy Spirit. He will show me that insane thoughts are not real. My guilt dream is not real at all. I must be willing to give up my self made dream. I must be willing allow new thoughts to replace insane wishes. To accept H.S.‘s help and healing is to know peace and joy beyond anything I have ever made in my dream. Do I really want to continue holding onto what is not real? Do I want to think that pain will “save” me? Only Love heals.  Love is undefiled, indivisible. Nothing can change Love.

To know the benefits of letting Holy Spirit help me, I must quiet the chatter of my mind. I must be still and simply listen, making room for Spirit to enter.
Each moment that I practice listening to this true Voice, I give room for the truth of Love, I invite Love in. My innocence is guaranteed by God, so is every other mind that dreams of exile. My holiness is safe and secure because dreams do not change the truth. I have not left my Father.
Let me teach only that God’s Son is guiltless, that is my only purpose here.
