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.
