My Meaningless Thoughts

“My meaning less thoughts show me a meaningless world.”
The key to forgiveness lies in this idea.

My thoughts do not mean anything as they are wrapped up in illusion. So my meaningless thoughts show me a meaningless world.
My thoughts are wrapped up in illusion, these thoughts keep me in fear, afraid of retribution from God. The illusion attempts to keep God out (Edging God Out). But my thoughts do not mean anything. My projected thoughts do not mean anything—so the world I dream that I see, does not mean anything. It is meaningless.

The thoughts I seem to have, only reflect my belief that I am alone. If I choose, I can turn to Holy Spirit for correction of this belief. I can listen to His interpretation and let my meaning fall away. His Voice offers only the the truth. His Voice says:

“How can you be anything but loving? How can you be anything but complete? Love made you loving, Perfection made you perfect, Wholeness made you whole, Oneness made you one.

“All the things that you dream in your dream of fear, are nothing, they have no meaning—they are empty shadows. You will not find true answers within the dream, you need a Guide that discerns the real for you. To escape the dream, you can accept help, and be willing to change your mind about what you think is true. Reflection of truth is in loving thoughts, and light can be brought to darkness; the loving thoughts will shine away the false ones as you give them to me.

[I then had thoughts about the loss of money in the stocks I bought.]
“The key to forgiving your self is to remember that it is meaningless. Your choice to buy stocks was a mistake, nothing more. It was a choice in a dream; what is dreamt cannot have truth. Thoughts that are irrational cannot have truth. To look at that choice and make yourself guilty is useless. The mistake was thinking that you lacked anything—and the mistake was added to by other choices in the dream consciousness. It is still a mistake, and nothing real happened there. Your meaningless thoughts show you a meaningless world.

“This little mistake is a reflection of the mistaken belief that you are not Loved by your Creator.
If you are but a thought in the Mind that created you, how could you not be loved by that Mind? You would not exist without that Mind, so you must be loved and held eternally within Love. You mistake your self for a form, and do not see yourself as an idea. It is by forgiveness that you will understand that you are not the form of a body.

“You are learning that being a body—a form of specialness—does not give you what you want. Being a special body has only brought fear, pain, tension, remorse, and belief in separation (which is the cause of fear, pain, tension and remorse.)

“Do you now see the cost of the belief in what you think is true? The cost is peace of mind. Every little thought that you think is true, removes peace from your awareness. As you learn to give up the thoughts (that make the dream) you will receive more awareness of peace. Giving up thoughts that are untrue, gives to you, it does not take away. We have said that God never takes, but only gives. Why would you fear finding out that this is fact? The barriers to Love are as unreal as anything else in your dream.

“Your beliefs (and barriers) will be undone one by one, as you elect. It is your choice, your decision that undoes the chain of illusion. Be willing then, to let go of the meaning that you have put on everything. Be willing to let go of the value you have put on everything. What is in a dream cannot be made real. And the truth of what you are is far beyond your dreaming. Be willing to remember that you dream, and you are the dreamer.”
