Thoughts That Hurt

When I chose to forget that I was God’s Son, that seemed to cement the separation in place. My perception can change when I am willing to see differently. What I think “I know” is really meaningless. I have given all the meaning to what I see, and from the belief that I am separate my meanings are inaccurate, incorrect, nonsensical, and basically wrong.

Can I, or will I, admit that I am wrong? Will I seek true correction from Divine Spirit, my true Self? Or do I continue to muddle my way through the illusions of my dreaming? What do I really want? Do I really want to be right? and miserable? Or am I willing to release my perceptions, thoughts and beliefs of what or who I am? Do I really want to be right and make God wrong?

If I insist on being a miserable sinner, then that is what I experience, for Spirit does not interfere or deny my wishes however insane they are. If I desire to change my thoughts, Spirit will assist and guide me in every way. His only purpose is to lead me Home. My only purpose is to follow and bring my brothers with me.

My brothers are all with me, for they are in my mind. If I try to shut one out, then I will shut out divine Help. When I close the door on a brother, I am closing the door to Holy Spirit. This prevents my healing, it prevents the Light from entering and shining away the false thoughts. I must remember that my perceptions are wrong. Thoughts based on a foundation of separation will always be false and there is no way to make them true. When I maintain false ideas I only hurt myself. It is only the false (wrong) thinking that Spirit would remove; give all thoughts that hurt to Him.

Imagined Wants

I notice this morning, the ego is looking to find something to feel good with. It looked at various food items (ice cream, cookies, granola) but my Guide asked did I really want that? It seemed like ice cream gave me pleasure in the past, but it was only fleeting satisfaction. That is when I realized that any thing that the ego ‘offers’ me will never bring peace nor fill the the empty feeling within.

What I truly yearn for is connection with my Source. The child within seeks only to go Home, to rest in Love, and inhale the peace and joy ….. The call of Love asks simply that I let go of the imagined wants and needs, and to simply be what I am in truth. There is no striving in this, only a willingness. To cease my doing and to follow, to gently accept whatever appears to be happening, to receive meaning only from Holy Spirit. For when I choose to follow, I am led to remember what is true, where I am, and who I am.

In every choice I make, I either hold the hand of the ego or of my true Teacher. When I hold the ego’s hand I cannot enter my Home. I mistake illusions for reality when I choose the hand or help of the ego. When I choose the hand or help of my inner Teacher I have all of Heaven assisting me; I find my fears melt away like snow under a bright sun. I recognize that I love my Creator and He loves me.
