A New Way to See

Am I Willing?

These thoughts came to mind last week, I gladly share with you!

When I am willing, I can look past my brother’s rage, to see the fear and guilt he thinks is real. When I am willing, I know that his anger and accusatory words don’t hurt me. Those words are his defense against being mistreated.

My past scenario plays out when I fail to speak about my feelings and thoughts.
I hide my words for fear of being told that I’m wrong, that I shouldn’t “feel” that way. I work with H.S. ....do I want to be “right” or happy? The fear I think I perceive in his mind, is only a reflection of my own. The fear of making the wrong choice and then being stuck with that choice “forever.” That’s the ego system at work; make a choice (decision) and you can never go back! You can’t change your mind—-that’s not allowed in any shape, way, or form.
If I do not like the way I feel, then I must have chosen wrongly. But I can choose again, and again, until I surrender the insane, meaningless choice to H.S. I want Him to choose for me. His choice is always love, always the memory of God for me.

Spirit comments: “You ask: what do you want? Yet it is written in your heart.
“You hold still, a “secret” wish, which you think remains hidden—-but I have asked that you give every thought over to healing. You secretly wish for death, and this is why you cannot be wholly joyous, wholly free.
    “You still think that there is a part of you that cannot merit the complete love of Your Father, your Source. The dark and nasty “thing” cannot be purified because it is tainted so deeply.
I tell you, Sara, this little thought, this tiny shadow has no power over your choice. When you choose to take this thought to the light, to the truth, it will be released, and only Love remains. This tiniest sliver, will be undone the moment you no longer give it value. For you to know it has no value, you must take it to the light. You need not be wholly willing in this, for the little willingness will be magnified by H.S.‘s wholeness. You are never alone in this.”
