The awakening to Truth
is the disappearance of the ego, the sense of a separate self.
A self that is separate from the world and everything in it,
seemingly complete in itself,
is in fact the denial of the Self created by God,
and a very effective defense against it.
All the seeming problems of the world you see before you simply mask
the one and only problem you have: separation from God.
All others are but different forms of this one problem.
You have been learning to look past form that you may see content.
Be willing to have the Holy Spirit show you the content behind the form
every time you must make a choice.
Only then can you be sure of choosing rightly.
God is all in all. There is nothing outside of God;
all that exists has its Being and Life in Him.
What is unlike God,
what contradicts or opposes Him, does not exist in fact,
for He is the only Source and all that He created shares His qualities.
Anything created by God cannot change itself into something else.
Its being is in God, remains in God, and is unalterable in Truth.
The journey back to Truth is marked by a growing sense of commitment,
a constantly strengthening intent to realize Truth,
to return to your Father, that becomes your single purpose.
As investment is withdrawn from the ego, from bodily identification,
the mind is progressively freed of habitual tendencies, of the past,
and allowed to return to its true nature as freedom and presence here and now.
As ego, you are never really in the present except as the resistance to it.
The mind misidentified as a body, a separate entity in time and space,
is the denial of the Self, of Truth.
As the Self is always and only in the present,
the resistance to being truly present,
a fundamental characteristic of the ego,
is also an effective defense against the Truth.
Today choose to open your heart and mind to the guidance of Divine Spirit.
Sink into peace and harmony and rejoice that you are under no Laws but God’s.
Resist the temptation to believe that you “know“ what and how this day will unfold for your learning.
Moment to moment you choose Love or fear, Truth or illusion.
Listen with devotion to the healing Truth of Love
and rest in the unconditional Love of God’s Grace.
Today turn away from all attempts to prove your judgments are valid.
Gladly forget every idea of good and bad or right and wrong
that you have cherished in your attempt to be safe from the illusion of danger.
The ego continuously wraps bitterness, righteousness, jealousy and fear
into your beliefs of right and wrong as you unwittingly imprison your wondrous spirit
with made up lies and distortions.
Come rest in the schoolroom of Love and accept that only Eternal Love is real.
When you see the Light in your brother,
the world you experience will change.
To see It in another, is to recognize your brother as he truly is.
This will change the way you see yourself and the world,
and nothing will be the same.
The mind of forgiveness judges not,
leaving all judgement to the Holy Spirit.
To judge is to condemn;
you cannot condemn a brother and not share in that condemnation.
Forgiveness replaces all condemnation with a miracle of Love.
To forgive is to recognize the Truth in your brother,
and overlook all appearances.
Forgiveness is the key to happiness; this cannot be overstated.
Every human being desires happiness, seeks happiness above all else.
If you would be happy in this world, you must be forgiving.
Forgiveness is an expression of Love,
and without Love is happiness impossible.
If you would know Love, you must first learn what It is not,
and learn to recognize Its absence.
While you believe in the world’s version of love
and seek to find it in forms based on its denial,
you will drive Love from your mind and make Its return impossible.
To listen to the Holy Spirit is to listen to the Voice for God.
He speaks for God, knowing God’s Will for you,
and He perceives through your mind.
He is aware of what you see and experience, and knows it is not true.
He translates what is true into a form you can recognize in this world,
leading you away from illusions, back to what is true.
You are Light, just as you are Mind, and Self or Soul.
Nothing can ever lessen this Light,
for It is the Light of God shining eternally in His Mind.
It is unchanged even as It continues to extend Itself forever.
Through the Light of your Mind, you see the Light in your Brother.
And in that Light is your Oneness made manifest.
In the return to this Light, are you restored to Wholeness,
and separation is healed.
You are Light, just as you are Mind, and Being or Spirit.
Happiness is not found by valuing what is valueless.
Whenever you choose to follow the egoic thought system,
and base your decisions on the values it represents,
nothingness is what you will get.
Always is this true and it will never change.
