The Twinge of Pain

Hello EveryOne,

While in the hospital, I surmised since hidden guilt is the underlying factor of what appears in my dream experience, I asked Holy Spirit to show me what guilt I was holding that contributed to the experience of lupus and transverse myelitis. The next day I had thoughts of past relationships, and I realized that I still had huge guilt from a former marriage. My perception was that I had caused major damage (pain) to the other person.  I was the “cause” of the ruined partnership, that the fault/guilt was all mine. No amount of “wishing him well” did anything to alleviate my pain when I thought about him.       
I then asked H.S. to take all related thoughts of guilt in that relationship for correction; I asked that my mind be healed.

As I was willing to let go of the past, and my perceptions of it, I noticed a sense of lightness come to my mind. I can notice now, that when I think of that person, there is no longer the twinge of pain accompanied with the thought.

Today I was led to read sections 1 and 3 in Chapter 17. I saw how that previous relationship was not intended for healing or holiness, that it would never have succeeded. I also saw how in my current relationship, the times that I asked for help in my thoughts/perceptions, I was given help in the amount that I was willing to accept. Now, whenever I have gotten on the ego wagon, and think I want things, actions different from what my partner does or wants, I ask more and more for H.S. to take over. I remind myself that I want my thoughts healed. I remind myself that I want a holy relationship, not the unholy, unhealed relationship that perpetuates illusion and separation. I remind myself that my brother is simply reflecting my thoughts back to me.

I am so very thankful for the H.S. in my mind, for His unerring correction, and continuous love to support me and my partner.
I could never be where I am today without His Guidance and comfort.

Helpful Excerpts from Text

Hello Everyone—the OneShip,

The following excerpts stood out to me last night and this morning. Broadly in Text.9. IV; 10-12. V; 6-8. VI; 5-7. VII.
Specifically, the sentences that I have italicised, are helpful to me within my framework of learning in this moment. 

“…… your only hope is to change your mind about reality. Only if the decision that reality is fearful is wrong can God be right. And I assure you that God IS right. Be glad, then, that you have been wrong, but this was only because you did not know who you were. Had you known, you could no more have been wrong than God can.”  9.IV. 10; 2-6

“The decision to receive is the decision to accept.” 9.VI. 2; 6

“How can you become increasingly aware of the H.Spirit in you except by His effects?  9.VI. 1;1
“Healing is not mysterious. Nothing will change unless it is understood, since light IS understanding.  9.V. 6; 4-5 The miracle worker begins by perceiving light, and translates his perception into sureness by continually extending it [light] and accepting its acknowledgment. Its effects assure him it is there.”  9.V. 7; 8-9

“Very simply the H.Spirit teaches you to awaken others. As you see them awaken you will learn what waking means, …… 9.VI. 5; 2-3
<i>“God wills you perfect happiness now. Is it possible that this is not also your will? And is it possible that this is not also the will of your brothers? 9.VII. 1; 8-10 If you choose to see yourself as unloving you will not be happy. 9.VII. 5; 1                                                                                                                               “Consider, then, that in this joint will you are all united, and in this only.”  9.VII. 2;1

“He [H.S.] is not deceived by anything you do, because He never forgets what you are. The ego is deceived by everything you do, especially when you respond to the H.S., because at such times its confusion increases. The ego is, therefore, particularly likely to attack you when you react lovingly, because it has evaluated you as unloving and you are going against its judgment. The ego will attack your motives as soon as they become clearly out of accord with its perception of you.”   9.VIII. 4; 3-6  
                                                     
If you choose to see yourself as unloving you will not be happy.”  9.VIII. 5; 1

P.S. My only hope is to change my mind about reality; that is to accept that my decision that reality is fearful,  and let it be reversed. Reality holds only truth, and truth cannot be fearful, though I can deceive my self with fear thoughts. The thoughts from dreams can never be solid, certain or pure, so that makes them fearful. The thoughts that come from Love are certain, pure, solid, uncontested, and nothing else. They appear fearful only to the sick egoic mind.
Our reality is that we are the Light of Love. Our purpose is to extend the light, the Love we are. When we choose to deny the Love that we are (seeing myself as unloving) then we will be unhappy.
This holds great relevance for me: “Being capable of tolerating unhappiness is the best way to push God away.”  (Mary Gerard; © 2006)

Mistaken Belief in the Sick Mind

Hello Everyone,
I have once again, returned to the space called home in my dream. In wanting more understanding in the thoughts that uphold my seeming illness, I asked H.S. for clarification.
These are 2 of the messages that I received from Spirit.  (Spirit calls me ‘Sara” from time to time).
The message dated the 21st, I had made up an experience, in which to learn that there is no loss in reality, and that I really want to see my brother’s innocence, not making sin real.

1/20/08 Spirit: There are only 2 categories of thought: real and unreal. You (while in the world) cannot judge what is real and unreal. That is why it is helpful to remind your self that you do not know what anything is for. In H.S. hands, it is used for good. In the deluded mind, anything can and will be used for the purpose of separation.
The way out of unreal thinking is to recognize the false thoughts and this you cannot do on your own. You have one with you, at every moment and every where, to discern the real thoughts from the unreal for you. This takes no efforting for you—- only willingness to follow, and allow the error thoughts to be undone.

1/21/08 Spirit:
When you can look beyond your brother’s body and past mind to the H.Spirit that he is, then are you free. If only for an instant that you look past the dream symbols to hold the truth, to love without attack, in that instant will you accept (receive) your healing.

The mind that is tortured with guilt will project, to be rid of pain and fear. It does not recognize that it’s projections are as false as the guilt that under lies them. Guilt is forever false because nothing changed reality; there is no sin. There are no unloving thoughts in the Thought of Love. There is no alien thought that can change the Mind of God. Love cannot create unlike Itself—- so It’s extension must be love and loving.

Sara, the guilt that you have laid on the body, is your call for help. And Love always answers. Do not ignore the symbols of Love that come moment to moment in your dream. They represent the Love that surrounds you, supports, protects and sustains you. Nothing in your dream truly does the same. When you imagine loss, then it seems you lose something in your world. If you dream of attack—- at you or from you—- you seem to encounter aggression in the world. Your thoughts can be shown to you, literally in an instant—- but your belief in time makes the effects of thought play out in sequence. This you choose, so that you can pretend the outside circumstances have nothing to do with you.

You pretend to forget the truth, to protect the dream that you’ve made. But this dream (that you feel so reluctant to over look) has no value; it is a crude charade to mask the Son of God, the Love that is eternal creation, unending Extension. Of this you cannot dream.

You dreamt that you abandoned God, and stole His treasure and laid waste to His dominion. This the sick mind does believe and tries to make real. This is the world you think you see and live in. But this is simply a reflection of fear thoughts projected on the veil, images that come from the mind that is tortured by it’s own remorse of what it mistakes as real. Now the guilt that you laid on the body, has put you to “rest” in the sense that you can not run hither and yon on imagined needs or quests. This is the divine opportunity to observe the thoughts and not attach to them. As you watch and give over the thoughts that once congested and stagnated, corrupting the peace in your mind, you will find that peace remains pure, and your wholeness was never touched. As you hand over the thoughts that separate to the H.S., you free your brother fm his perceptions as well as from your own. There is no confrontation in this, no turmoil. What Love created as whole, simply remains so. You attune your listening to the Voice for Love and nothing else.

Sara, this is what this practice period is about. Listening and following. Listening consistently.
Practice consistently to listen.
