Few realize the role played by fear in human life.
In fact, the denial and dissociation that characterize ego consciousness,
make accurate perception impossible.
Never underestimate the power of thought.
Your thought has made a world,
a universe of separation ruled by chaos.
The misidentification with the ego
has caused untold misery,
and has cost you the awareness of your true identity in God.
The misidentification with the ego
has caused untold misery,
and has cost you the awareness of your true identity in God.
Without the awareness of what you truly are,
you will continue to be what you are not,
and pay a heavy price for that ignorance.
You do not realize that your thinking, motivation, and behavior,
arise from a part of your mind that is simply an error,
a mistake made long ago and kept alive through memory and projection.
The unawareness of the content of mind,
and how it affects and controls behavior,
protects and maintains the ego’s control and domination.
The first requirement for healing your mind
is to become aware of what is in it.
When Grace envelops you,
you will feel the Love of God
and know you are safe.
The world becomes a gentler place, a kinder place,
shining with a different Light when you live in a state of Grace.
The Grace of God is given freely to all
but you must be ready to receive It.
By the conditions of your life and the state of your mind
is it apparent whose thoughts have your allegiance.
All thinking that originates with the ego,
will be self defeating and will only perpetuate suffering.
Right thinking, thinking guided by the Holy Spirit,
will have positive and helpful results.
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.
The first requirement for healing your mind
is to become aware of what is in it.
If you have Love, you have everything and God too,
for God is Love.
When Love is all you have, you will know God and His Son.
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.
Holiness, like Light, extends Itself everywhere, joining with Itself unceasingly.
The Holiness of the Father and the Son is the condition of all that is real.
All that God created shares His Holiness. There is nothing real that does not shine in its kindly Light. Your Holiness guarantees that you will rest forever in deepest peace, undisturbed tranquility, and Love without limit.
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 means given you through this teaching is the practice of forgiveness, and a conscious relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a part of every mind, but are you aware of this?
He is always with you, waiting for your willingness to accept His help.
God’s grace is always available, but you must be willing to receive.
Success is assured if you are willing to surrender, trust, persevere, and cooperate with the help that is given, the guidance that is received.
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.
The Holy Spirit has spoken to you since time began, and He will continue to speak until time is over. Do not fail to listen; His is the voice that will lead you to freedom. Leave the shrill voice of the ego, the guide to fear, and follow the Teacher God has given you to bring you home.
God has given you the Answer, the One Who will lead you back to the Truth you have always been. The most difficult thing for you to do, and indeed the only thing you must do, is to learn to surrender.
The Truth lives deep within you, far beyond the mind of separation, far beyond the reach of the ego. It has vanished from your awareness long ago. Yet It has never left the mind where it was placed by God. To reach this long buried Truth, you need the help that comes from beyond the little circle of illusions you have erected around your mind.
The Truth lives deep within you, far beyond the mind of separation, far beyond the reach of the ego. It has vanished from your awareness long ago. Yet It has never left the mind where it was placed by God.
There is something within you that is true, soaring high above the pain and strife of this world. The purpose of life is to find this within yourself, and live in the Light of That. Do not seek It outside yourself, It is not there.
The only way to reach God is to surrender. Your belief in guilt is not what you should base your life upon, for it brings you only pain, conflict, and discord. Life, to be meaningful, must be based on that which is true and good, that which helps you rise above fear and limitation.
The only way to reach God is to surrender. The egoic identity is not in a condition of surrender to anything except its inclination to seek pleasure and avoid pain, and its habit of projecting guilt onto others.
