Dream Game

These thoughts came to mind this morning.

What am I not forgiving today?
What am I pushing out of awareness, into the corners and vaults of my unconscious mind?
What do I fear to look at—-because the ego believes that it is the undoing of what is real?
What am I not forgiving today?

What if all my thoughts are not real? It would mean that I have been wrong—-and that this world is not real; my life is not real; the circumstances and events are not real.
“No, no, no,” says the ego, “I won’t allow that!”
If my thoughts are not real, then what am I doing?
Just playing an imaginary game, dreaming a game of spite, shame, and guilt. It is a dream game of separation—-and it is not real. But my belief in it makes it seem real indeed. My belief fuels it, makes it grow, warps whatever glimpse of truth that might shine through to my mind.

I dreamed that I needed a world to hide in, to hide from an angry, killing god. I dreamed that I deserved punishment for my treason to my Creator. (Somewhere in my mind, there is the knowledge that I did not create myself.)
I dreamed that by punishing myself, that that would appease an angry god, buying me “time.” Am I willing now to lay down this foolish game, to lay aside the defenses against truth? Am I willing to follow a different teacher, rather that keep what I have “taught” myself?
Am I willing to be happy rather than right?

Piece by piece, I forgive the thoughts that make my dream. It seems to be piece by piece—-but I really have no concept of how far my forgiveness reaches into the dream.
I forgive the thoughts that seem to separate me from everyone, and from my Creator.
I forgive the thoughts that make me seem special, or wounded, unworthy, sad, sick, vile.
I forgive the thoughts that I project onto others around me. I forgive the pictures/images that I think I see outside of me. I forgive what I think I know—-I remind myself that I do not know what anything is for, nor what anything means.

Does this seem impossible to do?
It is possible because I choose a Teacher Whose only purpose is to free me from my insane wishes, waking me from my dream of fear and despair. The Holy Spirit remembers the truth for me, and always gives the truth to me as I am ready.
Let me remember my readiness——let me remember there is no love but God’s. Let me remember that I remain as God created me. I am His creation forever—-and that will never change. Amen.

Thank you Father, for Your gifts to me.

Just Remember,  It’s a Dream

Dear Readers,
In the confusion and merriment of making a move in the world of form,
I find that part of my mind puts up many forms of resistance to truth. There seems to be a myriad of distractions to keep my attention on the things of this world. Yet I always have choice; do I want illusions or truth, conflict or peace, fear or Love? Today I had a moment to receive insight from Spirit and it follows…..

Me: How can I be truly helpful?
Spirit:” Just forgive, true forgiveness is the way Home.

“You can forgive yourself for all the things that you “save” to make you feel safe.
All things are distractions to keep you “busy” with form, and to forget the truth that remains in you.

“You are not alone Sara, I am forever with you as you are forever with God.
There is no distance in Love, there is no separation in Love, there is no time in Love.
There is no opposite to Love. Love is All there is.

“You fear that you are imperfect, and then you “see” all the ways that you
fail in perfection—-ego says: “you are not perfect, so you are not the same
as God.” You find witnesses to what is false.

“You think that you are are lacking, an impossible child that failed its parents.
So the world became an image of that belief; you failed your father, you failed your mother—-and even your brother and his family. Yet the world is false
perception; false ideas given images to make the world appear real.

“You think that the body is ill. That is another reflection of guilt buried in your mind. It is always the guilt made from the dream of separation from Love.
You still think it happened, that you did separate from your only Source. This is a madman’s dream, with no foundation at all.

“As you continue to pack boxes, and do the chores of everyday, just remember that is is a dream. Remember that it is your purpose to forgive the dream—
let go of each fragment as it appears to you—-it is meaningless. Do not take the form seriously—-the images of form are not real. Give the images to H.S., He will show you what is real. Be willing to let go of your perception, be willing to receive a new thought in place of the old…........there is no greater purpose for you in this moment.”

Me: Thank you Holy Spirit.
