False Game of Honesty

Dear Everyone,

Recently in a sleeping dream, I was given an example of how the ego uses honesty to play the “one-upmanship” game. Such as: if I’m honest even without regard for your feelings, that makes me “superior.” But that is only an attack on the brother an attempt to make him “less than.” And if I use such devices, I keep more guilt then the ‘honest’ disclosure would erase. The game of honesty is cruel indeed in the hands of the ego.

Spirit: To be honest is to be truthful to your self. Being honest with your self, is to look at beliefs, thoughts, idols, not without fear but with the Holy Spirit. It is never a mistake to be honest with the H.S. The mistake is pushing down or denying some thought that keeps you in fear. When you hide some thought or belief from your awareness, you can be sure that you have mistaken the ego for your teacher, and have mistaken a lie for the truth. The Holy Spirit is your true Teacher, and would never make you more fearful. He only takes fear from your mind as you are willing; He restores the simple truth to you.

Dear Child, you came “here” to forgive the false, to overlook the lies and deception of an insane mind. The belief in guilt has made it insane, making the impossible seem real, the illusion seem solid. Your only purpose is to let go of the false beliefs, letting go of idols that hide the light and love in you. To know your Light, you must look past the form of your brothers, to the holy Light that they are and have always been.

Ask that your perception be corrected, ask to see the truth of your brothers.
This is all you need do—-  for so long you have thought there was nothing wrong with your sight and perception. You did not question what you saw. Yet what you “saw” was only your thoughts, appearing as an image. It is the same as the night dreaming. Thoughts are projected onto the screen of your mind and you think they are real.

With corrected perception, which is healed perception, you have no doubt about the innocence and purity of your brothers. You witness only the Light and Love that radiates from their Being. With healed perception, you know that you can only love your brothers, and that is no mistake. This is all you need, and all you want.

A Sick Thought

Dear Everyone, I share with you a sick thought that popped into mind today. I am grateful that I was willing to open to H.Spirit’s Voice and listen to His words.

The egoic system asks: “how can I do good while I am so vile?”
(Spirit) Dear One, you have no idea of all the good you do when you let go. Letting go of the past is the most loving thing you can do.

When you seek H.S.’s correction or guidance, you are asking to release the past as you made it. To see differently is to ‘see’ without the past, without the meanings that were devised and applied to each and every picture. The past is gone. What is only illusory can hardly hold meaning. The egoic mind seeks to keep the past and its misperceptions and judgments as real. The ego weeps each time an idol falls. It would hold tightly to the past, making sure there is no present and no future unlike its past.
Yet still it plasters the mind with expectations of glory or fame or wealth. And when these are attained, they are not good enough; if not attained then it makes the world unfair to you. So it holds that the past is always here, that you cannot escape from it. This might be true in dreams, but it has nothing to do with truth or Reality.

Child, you are learning! Bit by bit, you are letting go of the teachings of an insane teacher. You are learning that you do not want the “gifts” that the ego system offers you. You are learning to decline the gifts, no matter how beguiling they seem.
Did you not learn that being happy had nothing to do with the worldly events or people around you? Did you not learn that happiness is your choice?  And a gift to others?

Yes! you did. You cannot forget the truth of what you learned, however distant it may seem. Your holiness is guaranteed by God, by Love and all of Heaven. You must be holy because He is. You must be whole because He is whole. Nothing can, will, or ever has changed All That Is.
(Thank You G., I love U, God. Amen)
