7. WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT & LESSON TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY-ONE

7. What is the Holy Spirit?

I love that the Holy Spirit is and has always been within our minds, (since the beginning of time when it became necessary, that is) right there, reinterpreting, healing, and forgiving our misguided dreaming and believing….

Cuz as soon as we're finished with the game of bunkers-hill and quit the futile effort of making God an object of ‘competition for control’. Once the wrong-mind is surrendered, already right here, right now, we recognize the Holy Spirit Voice, already, as always, righting the perception of our so-called life and filling our hearts with peace…

This is certainly my experience.

When I became willing to recognize that I had been wrong… about everything, I realized that the Holy Spirit, which was the right answer, had been there all along, in the midst of every situation and circumstance.

I had simply placed on my attention on false ideas instead of truth (placed on the inner alter) death instead of eternal life, fear instead of love, and therefore, that was the experience it rendered in place of Love and God…

What a relief! For me. The more I got into the forgiveness thing, the more I saw how very little my self-image character is required to fulfill my function in God’s plan for salvation.

My willingness, it turns out, is enough, and will be used. For that matter, any and every thing I offer will be used…

It is the Holy Spirit that bridges the gap from what has already been accomplished in God and my recognition of completion in Him.

It is the decision to see instead of dream that changes our perception of all situations into the “call from Love to Love that it is”… from strangers to brothers, and earth to Heaven…

Lesson 281:

I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts…

Boy, you really get this awareness up close and personal as you begin the active practice of mind-watching, forgiving and seeing differently, yes?!! What a blessing to see that we are not what we once imagined, and that no one else was either, but rather that we are all joined in a unified purpose to bring to awareness, Love’s eternal presence…

Today’s lesson prayer is a perfect reminder of the truth. Please join me in recognizing and aligning:

Father, Your Son is perfect. When I think that I am hurt in any way, it is because I have forgotten who I am, and that I am as You created me. Your Thoughts can only bring me happiness. if ever I am sad or hurt or ill, I have forgotten what You think, and put my little meaningless ideas in place of where Your Thoughts belong, and where they are. I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts. The Thoughts I think with You can only bless. The Thoughts I think with You alone are true…”

In joy~
