Practice Watching

Today this is what I received from Holy Spirit.

Spirit: The word of God in written in your Heart. Therefore, all your answers are there, waiting for acceptance.

Practice non judgment—this is the way to acceptance. Be willing to watch the mind and without judging, watch the judgmental thoughts.
Each thought represents your belief; each thought is a choice. The choice to follow Love or the choice to do it on your own.

The fantasy of doing on your own has no true effect on your reality. It does not touch Who you are or where you are. But your belief in the fantasy makes it real for you.
This does not bring happiness to you. You will be happy when you let go of the thoughts that hold the fantasy together.
As you let go of judging, you release the values you have made on everything in the fantasy. You learn that happiness is always Now.

Which Voice I Choose

It seems that this past year or more, has been such a challenge to me. This has been my own choice, as I choose to hear the ego or Holy Spirit. It seemed that I was choosing to hear the wrong voice more often than not.

When I listen to the ego, I find comparisons abound, making judgments seem natural, making worries seem real.  Any time that I wish that circumstances were different, that is a judgment about the way my experience is happening. It is the child throwing the tantrum, screaming: “I want it thus!” Following the ego, I do not have peace, joy or love. I have more conflict, more wishes, more feelings of being inadequate and failure.

Somehow I felt powerless to stop the bombardment of ego thoughts. It seemed as if I would never get out of the grip of the self pity that entrapped me. Today I read a message from Holy Spirit to a dear friend of mine, that shown the light into my clouded mind. The simple premise is that I can choose to worry and judge my way through life, or I can choose to trust in Spirit, that each circumstance is perfect for my learning the lessons that I came here to learn or unlearn.

When I think mistakenly that I am alone and have to decide on my own, then things look bleak indeed. I have mistakenly chosen an illusion to be real, making the dream seem real.
I have forgotten Who I am. When I mistakenly follow the ego, I am wanting to be “right” and not choosing to be happy. I am believing that “I” know what is best for me in any given moment. I need to remind my self that I do not know what is in my best interests, but I have an internal Guide that is always with me, Who does know.  When I choose to step back from the turmoil and conflict and fear in my mind, and ask help from Holy Spirit, I am willing to let go of the dream I have made. I am willing to accept that being mistaken does not make me guilty.

As I remember to choose for Holy Spirit’s perception of my life, I will find the peace, the joy, the love that surrounds me constantly. As I trust in His decisions for me, I am sure of the peace that I share with all. I am willing to give up the judging, comparing, and worries.  With Holy Spirit as my mentor I live the life that I share with God. 

This quote from the Manual for Teacher’s came to mind: M-26.4. Do not despair, then, because of limitations. It is your function to escape from them, but not to be without them.

To me this message means that the lessons I have made, can be worldly limitations, or they can be blessings when I see with Holy Spirit. All that I give to Holy Spirit will be healed.
