A New Way to See

Old Ideas

The other morning I had a dream, of which I share the part I remembered and the insight that came to me from that.
part of Dream: I was at either class or retreat @ POL. I looked for soup that I had left there from an earlier weekend. I found it—-after heating some, I noticed that the broccoli in it was moldy, so I threw it out.
Symbolism: When ideas are old, they are not useful, no matter how “good” they were when first used. It is more helpful to throw them out and allow the new to replace the old.

Spirit: Dear Sara, all you “need do” is listen. You have doubts about what I ask you to do (write, speak, picture) the truth. You feel doubtful that you know what the truth is. It is simple. God’s Son is innocent and nothing has ever changed that truth.

The self that you have made does not like the truth, for it’s fear stories are undone in the light of Truth. It has nothing to attack if the Son is wholly innocent.

There is nothing that needs defense. When you attack, you try to deny perfect Love, that is the only reality of God’s Son. The illusion you have made will never satisfy you. What is real cannot be threatened. Your dream cannot threaten nor replace Love.

You can indeed do all that I ask of you…..because of What you are and Who created you. Your perfection comes not of this world nor delusions. Your true perfection is of God. There is no need to fear this nor anything. Your true Self is complete, whole, unassailable in any way—-yet your unloving thoughts are the blocks to your awareness of Love.  Your attention to the unloving thoughts appear to make them real. Your inner Teacher will show you that these thoughts are nothing, for what is not from Love cannot be real.

What no longer fits cannot be useful; what no longer is edible cannot be used or assimilated. Be wholly willing to question all that you thought was true. For what you thought was true never was at all. Dreams but symbolize what “you” wish to happen.

Sara, you are not ‘one’ light amongst a billion lights—-Light cannot be separate from it’s source. Light is continuous, expanding, inclusive. Light is not “seen” with physical eyes, but it’s effects can be seen. Light seen with inner eyes, the eyes of Love, can be known and accepted. When truth is accepted fear can no longer hold its grip on the mind. Fear of Love is relinquished.
Sara, you can never be without me. Recognize that any fear you feel is that from the little mind—-for it does fear (what it believes is) its own end.
I am here, always…..
