The Sick Mind

The ego has my attention again. Feelings of sadness, remorse, guilt -over things not done? Things not accomplished, not finished? Things out of my reach, my realm? All these “things” are things or desires that are only of the dreamworld- the ways that the individual, autonomous “being” or persona makes itself “known” or special. So the ego tells me that I have failed-there is no reason for me to feel happy.

Holy Spirit, let me not listen to the foolish notions of the separated mind. Help me remember there is no separation. What never happened can have no effects. Please remove all sick ideas from my mind. I want only what belongs to me in truth.

Loss is not loss when properly perceived. Perception makes the world I see. Love gives All to all. Loss is impossible-totally meaningless.
~Are these sad feelings, another attempt to keep me from uncovering the truth in me?
Loss is not loss when properly perceived. I want only what belongs to me in truth. What Love gives is always given, and never taken back. My mind holds only what I think with God/Love. My mind is part of Gods or Loves-this has never changed.
Yet while I dream a dream of separation, I will not be happy. I cannot have peace in a mind made insane with guilt.
Am I willing to give up the dream of specialness? Seeking specialness (which is a separated mind’s only goal) will never be accomplished. In Complete Love there is nothing missing, nothing lost. Complete Love is All There Is- there is nothing else “out there.” Complete Love is my home, my Self, the All.

Thank you, Holy Spirit for bringing me/my mind back to sanity.
