The Holy Spirit is the Teacher of teachers; all teachers of God simply represent Him in outward form.
You can have a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit if you make the commitment, and follow it up with honest effort and heartfelt cooperation.
30 July 2022
The Holy Spirit cannot give you what you are unwilling to accept.
Always are your learning limits respected, though He yearns to give you every gift of God He has been keeping for you since time began.
29 July 2022
No positive and helpful thought, no hint of Love that appears in your mind ever so briefly, will go unnoticed by the Holy Spirit.
He will always respond, reinforcing every little step you are willing to take, augmenting your little willingness with His.
28 July 2022
The only thing you need do on your own, and even here you have help, is to turn over decision making to the Holy Spirit.
This decision is only yours to make, and it must be repeated many, many times, for it is a process of surrender that proceeds gradually over time.
27 July 2022
There is nothing you cannot do with the Holy Spirit’s help.
You cannot fail if you deeply and truly, with all your heart and mind, want only to be the Self created by God once again.
26 July 2022
Do not try to make decisions on your own but let yourself be guided in all things by the One Who knows the way.
He will lead you surely through every pitfall, past all resistance that arises in your mind, and give you the solution to all problems you may encounter.
25 July 2022
You cannot bargain with God nor evade His laws, and you cannot bargain with the ego in any of its forms.
The ego must be renounced, its thought system undone, and all traces of its hold on your mind must be healed and released.
24 July 2022
Though the way the journey back to God unfolds is highly individualized, the same corrections must be made and all the conditions of Truth must be met by all who would awaken.
You cannot bargain with God nor evade His laws, and you cannot bargain with the ego in any of its forms. The ego must be renounced, its thought system undone, and all traces of its hold on your mind must be healed and released.
23 July 2022
Now is the time to devote yourself to doing what must be done. There are certain requirements that must be met in the journey back to God.
They cannot be bypassed or ignored for the mind of separation, the self you have made, must be undone and all that is false corrected.
22 July 2022
The content of all you do, think, or experience, is either Truth or illusion.
In that is our salvation, for what could be simpler than to choose always, no matter the appearance, between two alternatives? And of these two but one is real. Please remember this, remember this always.
21 July 2022
The answer to ‘What am I, and what is the purpose of my life?’ is always a choice for Truth,
for your real identity and a life of true meaning,
or
it is a choice for illusion, the illusory self identity you have invented, and a life based on what has no meaning.
20 July 2022
What am I, and what is the purpose of my life?
Your answer to that is your life, and all of its conditions and circumstances are determined by the answer you have chosen.
There are only two answers to this fundamental and all important question. One answer is true and one is false.
19 July 2022
How do you conceive of yourself in relation to life, the world, and ‘others’? What do you value above all else?
All of these questions are really the same for they all arise from the original and most basic question: What am I, and what is the purpose of my life?
18 July 2022
Everything takes place in mind, in awareness.
All of your life is a play of consciousness. The essential point is this: where do you direct your awareness?
17 July 2022
The ego bases its argument for the reality of separation and your identity as a body on the reality of death.
In fact, the ego believes you merit nothing but death, and leads you steadily and inexorably to your destruction.
16 July 2022
The ego is the part of your mind that believes in separation, and has chosen the body as its home.
The core of the ego is fear, its foundation stone is guilt, and its purpose is to maintain separation from God and your Self at all costs.
15 July 2022
The ego is not you.
It was invited into your mind and given your allegiance at the time of separation; it appears to be who you are because you have forgotten, and think you are something else instead.
14 July 2022
Fear is pain, and pain never stops as long as you are fearful.
You are long accustomed to fear; you have given its different forms many names in order to disguise it and dissociate from it.
13 July 2022
To act unlovingly will always make you feel guilty.
You may not be aware of the guilt, but the feeling you will have will be some form of fear.
12 July 2022
Whatever you do makes you happy or unhappy, fulfilled or unfulfilled.
To operate from Love will always leave you happy.
11 July 2022
God is not far from you; you are far from Him, not in fact, but in your experience which is illusory.
You rest in God, move in God, and have your Being in God. Your Mind is part of His, and your life also.
10 July 2022
Whatever you do takes you closer to God or away from Him.
God and illusion never meet, yet you who are surrounded by the illusory creations of your mind, can yet find God if that is your true desire.
9 July 2022
How do you live surrounded by the chaos of separation, yet be unaffected by it?
Live in a state of true consciousness with Love as your guiding Light, and all darkness will be shined away until you see the Truth reflected everywhere.
8 July 2022
Through the recognition of Truth and the undoing of false mind, you may transcend its effects and live in a state of Grace where that which lies beyond illusion becomes available to you.
7 July 2022
Chaos does not need to be controlled; it needs to be recognized as nothingness.
If you turn over decision making to the Holy Spirit, He will guide you out of chaos. You need not live in that condition though your feet still walk the earth.
6 July 2022
Decisions made with the ego’s help are themselves an expression of chaos.
They are an attempt to manage chaos by introducing more chaos. This will obviously lead to the continuation of chaos and strengthen the need to manage and control it.
5 July 2022
Decisions arise from the necessity of choosing between alternatives presented you by constantly changing circumstances and events.
They are at once both a response and an attempt to control the chaos of life and make it manageable.
4 July 2022
Certainly it does not seem as if you are choosing life or death with every decision you make, yet that is exactly what you are doing.
Your unawareness of this fact affects it not at all.
3 July 2022
Your decisions stem from the belief in separation and all that entails, or they rest on Truth and move you in Its direction.
Decisions are always made with the guide you have chosen. Each decision is a choice for the ego or the Voice for God.
2 July 2022
Decisions are never made alone.
They are always made in collaboration with the voice you are listening to; they always proceed from and uphold the thought system your guide represents.
1 July 2022
Who is the one who makes decisions for you?
Is it the ego, the illusory voice of separation, or is it the Holy Spirit Who speaks for God and Truth?
