Shadows On the Wall

These thoughts came to mind recently:

Do I want to be happy or right?
Trying to follow 2 different thought systems only makes confusion and conflict. (This does not make happy.)
Giving up one thought system will lead to happiness.
When I want only peace then I will have peace.
To have peace I must give it (share it).
Giving is how I recognize I have it and giving is how I keep it.

There are not two wills or many wills. There is only God’s Will. And I am His Will. Being His Will I cannot be in opposition to It, I can only share it. I am here to let go of my illusions of where I am and what I am. These illusions are nothing because only what God created exists. The image of self that I think of is not real, but part of the mind thinks that image is its home.

If I am not happy I am choosing to listen to the wrong voice. Actually it is a fantasy voice trying to replace the Voice of Love. I can always tell which voice I have chosen by how I feel. Every feeling that is not happy comes from fear. Every feeling that brings joy or happiness comes from Love. If I find that I have chosen wrongly, I need only choose again.

In the “end” I simply realize that what I thought I “did” never happened. I have been watching shadows on a wall thinking that they were real.

Body Senses

Anything the body reports to me is a lie.
The body is a hallucination made by the deceived mind.
The body seems to prove that I am not what I am in truth.
The body would deny the perfect unlimited Thought of God in God’s Mind.
Love created me like Itself. I am not a body, I am formless, an extension of perfect Love.
God is but Love, therefore so am I.

Let my only desire be to remember truth of Love. I give my willingness to Him and He does the rest. I give Him my distorted, alien thoughts and He undoes them so no memory of fear remains.   
I am swept clean, washed in purity, wrapped in perfect joy. I remain as God created me.

Thank you God, I love You God.

Wrong Perception

These thoughts came to mind recently.

The wrong perception that I projected on the mom figure was only the belief that God did not love me. The belief that I did something wrong is the same belief that I separated from the Creator. What never happened can have no effects.

If I give the body to Holy Spirit’s purpose the dream will be happy. Everything that comes to me will be an opportunity to accept forgiveness and extend love. When I forget the true purpose I use the body as a defense against the truth.

H. S., I would accept only Your thoughts and be free of the tyranny of the deceived mind. Let me be aware of Your presence all thru the day, certain that Your direction gives me peace.

A little more clarification came to me with this:

The thought I projected on the dream mother, that she did not love me was the same idea that God did not love me. This is to really cover the guilt feeling from the belief that I separated from my Creator. I tried to project my guilt and “failure” onto another, ignoring the fact that God never left me or ceased loving me. It was only my belief that I left God and stopped loving God that is the anchor for feelings of guilt. Placing my guilt on some one or something outside of me does not remove the guilt from its source. Only by taking the thought (that I left God) in whatever form it appears to Holy Spirit, can it be corrected. He removes all errors, all false perceptions, every alien idea. In His light the unreal is seen as it is. I give thanks for His correction and let my mind be healed today.

Morning Insights

Effects that I perceive in my world are but my wishes. The deceived mind is still powerful but not free. The deceived mind surrounds itself with illusions which support it’s choice of thought system.

Holy Self:
The truth is somewhere in your mind and is there for you to find.
Thoughts leave not their source. You have not left your Source no matter what you hallucinate. Do not wait or delay another instant for the light that sets you free of illusions. The dark you think is in your mind is not there at all. A darkened glass but obscures the light and can be undone, not in rage or gnashing of teeth, but only with love and breath of gratitude.

You long to come Home. You will recognize the truth once you release every thought that rises from guilt. When you choose peace over every picture of separation, you recognize that what never happened can have no effects. You are Home Now, you never left Home. You are innocent and holy. You are limitless and free. You are infinitely peaceful and joyous. And in truth that is all that you have to share.  The first step of “To have, give all to all”* means to give your recognition of innocence to all that you see or think of. *T-6.V.A.5, 13

Insight For Healing

I had recently asked H.S. to show me why I felt anger at a friend.
The insight was that my anger was at myself, projected out on her for not accepting the “truth.”
It is my own anger for not wanting to wake up, the denial of perfect Love, the denial of what I am as God created me. If I am disappointed, I project that on some other body; they’re not worthy, not deserving because they just wallow in the dreaming of “this happened to me.”

I project this because I don’t want to accept that I am doing this—my thoughts are making my “reality.” 
My thoughts are making the dream images that only show what my wrong mind wants to see. Or what the wrong mind wants to be real. ~~ If I want to be free of wrong mind, I need to give up attack thoughts.

WB lesson 151, ¶ 6 & 7
The witnesses the ego sends to prove to you its evil is your own are false, and speak with certainty of what they do not know.  ….you must learn to doubt their evidence ……and let the Voice of God alone be Judge of what is worthy of your own belief. He recognizes only what God loves …..
And therein do all the ego’s dreams of what you are vanish before the truth.

God Is Not Incomplete

God cannot be incomplete. Therefore, I have not left my Source. I did not make my self.                          I am whole, perfect, complete thought in the Mind of All That Is.

Nothing here is as it seems. Dreams are not solid or tangible. The world you “see” but reflects the idea that you are alone, separate from all, and made to endure the unkindness of an uncaring world.

Yet none of this story is truth. You are not now, nor have ever been alone. You lack in no way. Perfect Love created you, and this is what you would find by looking within and going past all the empty props made by a sick mind. What never happened can have no effects.

Your holiness (wholeness) is guaranteed by God. Your perfect sinlessness had never been thwarted nor changed in the slightest by insane thoughts of a frightened mind. In truth you remain as Love created you. Love will never change It’s Mind about you, It knows you as you are.

The ego mind does not want me discover the Love within—my holy Mind. For in finding that Love, knowing that Love is my Self, the ego mind is undone. So it holds tenaciously to it’s beliefs, its thoughts, its plans. Whenever I am aware of fear, I can be sure it is the ego mind blocking my way to accepting love. I need only accept H. Spirit’s help in looking at the fear, for He will never abandon me. He shows me that fear (whatever form it may take) is meaningless and that Love is the answer to everything, for Love is everything.

No Force, No Effort

When Spirit asks me to choose again, it means to choose the Christ mind in me. The ego mind is only a fantasy, but if I put all my attention on its voice I think that it is real. The ego mind would maintain that it is real and the Christ mind is not. It hides its hatred beneath a face of innocence and bids me not to look within lest I find the “horror” there that I could not endure. Yet all the while I play the game of the ego mind, Holy Spirit waits in infinite patience until I choose for sanity, for Love, for peace.
I have allowed the ego mind and its world to take the place of my true mind and Heaven. (And this need not be.) I am learning that this is not happiness, it is not what I truly want.

My only function here is to give every thought to H. Spirit. My function is to give up all my false thoughts, so that truth is welcomed in my mind. I do not have to effort or force this, it is a gentle letting go, the continual practice of turning every thought over to my Inner Teacher/Guide, Who makes the correction and purifies the dark thought removing all that is false.

I choose again. I choose my holy mind, the Christ mind; that is my happiness, the truth in me.
