If you allow the Holy Spirit to give answer to all that troubles you,
life will become a happy dream, an effortless journey.
You will become a conduit for God’s Grace,
giving what you have been given to all.
Through God’s Answer was separation over and gone for all time.
Yet in your mind does separation live on,
held in memory and experienced as if here and now.
This one problem is the source of all problems you seem to have.
There is one answer to every seeming problem or conflict that appears in your life:
the Holy Spirit.
He is God’s Answer to the only problem you have or ever will have:
separation from God.
Right thinking, thinking guided by the Holy Spirit,
will have positive and helpful results.
All thinking that originates with the ego,
will be self defeating and will only perpetuate suffering.
By the conditions of your life and the state of your mind
is it apparent whose thoughts have your allegiance.
The first requirement for healing your mind
is to become aware of what is in it.
Without perceiving the condition of your mind as it is,
there is no chance to actually introduce correction,
that the dark shadow of fear be lifted and freedom restored.
All Love comes from God and is God.
Among the Gifts of God is Love the highest,
for all of God’s Gifts are contained within It.
If you have Love, you have everything and God too,
for God is Love.
The Gifts of God are apparent and ever present.
The Gifts of God are given always to those who ask,
for by asking do you receive what you already have.
To ask and then to give what you receive,
is the way of Love.
The ego’s goals are always attractively wrapped
so as to divert your attention from what is really being given,
which is nothingness.
To pursue nothingness when you could have everything,
is a tragedy of epic proportions.
The ego must conceal the consequences
of following its directions
or you would withdraw your allegiance.
Even a mind lost in the insanity of the dream,
would not march willingly to its destruction.
Whatever the mind wills to do, it can accomplish.
However, it is possible to will self destructively.
You may not realize you are doing so,
but if what you desire to accomplish is of this nature, that is what you will get.
The question then becomes would you desire this accomplishment
if you were aware of the consequences?
Is happiness and a sense of gratitude your experience at this moment?
If not, then you have chosen wrongly and you must choose again.
Do not delay, for you will only gain by returning your mind to Truth.
There is a way to recognize when you are acting out the wish for illusion.
Do you feel anything other than a state of joy, of peace?
When the desire to be something other than what you are in Truth arises in your mind,
you must recognize it and refuse.
To follow this desire, this wish that is so deeply embedded in your mind,
will always leave you alone and comfortless.
The ego is the belief in separation;
inviting it into your mind to become part of you made separation ‘real’.
The Holy Spirit has the function of restoring the awareness of your true identity,
the Self, the Christ.
Can you surrender to the Higher Power is the important question?
You do not realize you have already surrendered your life to an alien will not your own.
You are not the ego though it lives in your mind as a part of your mind.
There is no more effective way to begin to free yourself
from the egoic misidentification and its consequences
than to turn over decision making to the Holy Spirit.
This is what is meant by surrender.
The decisions you think are made on your own,
are always determined by the value system of the ego.
Their purpose is to maintain separation and fear,
and keep egoic defenses intact.
Surrender is essential in spiritual life.
The ego-bound personality is accustomed to living the way it chooses and making its own decisions, or so it thinks.
In actuality, no decisions are made on your own.
Every decision is made in concert with the guide you have chosen.
Only God Is.
Only what God has created exists, and what is not created by God does not exist.
Only what lives in Him, in Truth, is.
The mind of separation does not realize it has banished God from its world,
and fears its Creator.
This is why fear and separation, sin and guilt, do not exist.
They were not created by God and invested with His Being,
therefore they are not real.
You who live, move, and have your Being in God,
cannot be apart from Him except in dreams of madness.
Everything that is, cannot be separate from Him.
The ego’s purpose is to replace God;
thereby it thinks it secures and maintains its existence.
The mind lost in separation is not sane.
Crippled by fear, it believes the most fantastic ideas with which it has replaced Truth.
Foremost is the belief that something not created by God,
Who is the Source of all that is real, can exist.
Love is what I am, what I have been, and what I will always be.
In that, I have no choice.
Yet in the world I have invented to take the place of Truth,
Love is absent, banished by my choice of fear.
God created me to extend His Creation.
Love is the motivating force through which everything that is real is created.
Nothing exists that does not have Love as its Source.
What is meant by the belief in sin? To believe in sin is to believe it is possible to act unlovingly and that such acts call for punishment or vengeance. And some acts must remain forever unforgiveable.
Such beliefs imprison the mind, locking it into a position where fear and conflict are inevitable and peace cannot be found.
A process of gradual relinquishment of the falsity that characterizes your split mind becomes necessary and this takes time, even a long time.
This will unify your mind over time until the requisite wholeness is attained, and the mind made ready for God to take the last step.
There is no compromise between Truth and illusion. Where one is, the other is not.
No matter what the cost of Truth, you will gladly pay it when once you realize its inestimable value.
Only the blocks to the awareness of God’s Presence within you keep you a prisoner in a world of separation.
Remove them and you would immediately find yourself in Heaven and realize you never left.
What is the best thing you can do anywhere, at anytime? Remember your Father.
If you are constantly remembering your Father’s Love for you, you will discover your great Love for Him,
and this Love will clear all obstacles between God and your awareness of Him.
If you could instantly withdraw all investment in the illusions which so fascinate your mind, they would disappear forever, leaving you in a state of Grace.
Heaven is a state of limitlessness and Unity.
There is no compromise between Truth and illusion. Where one is, the other is not.
