A New Way to See

Attachment

Dear Everyone, I share some “morning” thoughts with you. I have been reading Rev. Myron’s Daily Lessons (they are posted on her web site).
This is what stood out to me today, from Holy Spirit, Lesson 233:

“Imagine the thoughts moving through your mind and you are just watching them. What a strange parade they make. Playfully wave goodbye to them if you wish.
Just don’t reach out and grab them. This is what you are doing when you feel guilty or when you think they are important.
When this happens you attach to the thought and you believe it is part of who you are. While this is not true, and you have no power
to actually change your holy Self, your belief is very powerful and absolutely effects your experience.
When you feel attached to your thoughts and beliefs you think they are you, and it becomes frightening and painful
to let them go because you think you are losing your very self when you do.”  (italics are mine)

This explanation was so clear to me today! I must have been truly willing to have my error shown to me.
I can see how I got discouraged when I chose not to listen to H.S. It just allowed the egoic mind to retake footing, and make it seem that I had not accomplished any healing at all.  I gave up hope, or belief that I would come to right-minded thinking. If I am not my thoughts, then what am I? I must allow Holy Spirit to tell me, by myself I do not know. I cannot rely on my own thinking or ideas or beliefs to define what I am. I have fooled my self into such a dream/nightmare of separation, that I could not know or distinguish the truth.
So I am attaching to my thoughts when I feel guilt, and I need to remind myself that I am not my thoughts. In this moment, using “I am not my thoughts,” is the same to me as, “I am not a body.”  The thoughts of which I am aware represent the beliefs and wrong-mind that holds them. I can look at those thoughts and not be attached to them.

Now I have the tools (WB Lessons) to un-think the stories that I have made up. I have the ability to use what Jesus has given us/me to let go of the false and accept the true.
When I experience feelings that I do not like, I can remember that I must be believing that some thought is what I am. I am letting an illusion replace the truth in my mind. This is where I ask H.S.’s help to see it differently, and accept His healing answer.

Dear Everyone, I support you, in looking at the thoughts and not becoming attached to them.
The reason they have come up, is to be undone by Love.    Blessings are our healings.
