One focus is helpful.
One focus is one purpose.

The past is not one focus.
Different meanings for different events
is not one purpose.

Pull your mind into your Heart
until there is no mind
but only the awareness of the Heart.

With this one awareness
look outward at experience.
From this point of awareness
you see only one thing.

~From our Holy Spirit

The past is a limit you place
on the present and the future.
As you choose the past as a limit
you see what you expect.

This is a limit
or a closed-box experience.

But the walls of the box
have been built by you,
and by meaning you have chosen to believe.

Nothing holds the box in place
but you
through your choice
to re-believe the meaning of the past
again and again.

~From our Holy Spirit

The past has no meaning now.
Any meaning it ever had
was only the meaning you gave it.

Now is a fresh moment.
This means that meaning from the past
can be looked at anew
and new meaning can be given.

However to make this change
do not deny one critical point.
Any meaning the past seemed to have
was absolutely given by you.

~From our Holy Spirit

Knowledge is within
beyond the mind.

Knowledge is constant
before and beyond the world.

Knowledge is realization
of the truth of what you are.

Knowledge is peace,
because it is the end of all questions
and the permanent rest
of the doubting mind.

~From our Holy Spirit

Notice when you are thinking,
and then say,
“I am willing not to think.
I am willing to be guided
by the finger of silence.”

Realize you need not know
at the level of mind
to be happy.
You need not know
to be moved.

You only feel you need to know,
because it gives you a sense of identity.
But isn’t a sense of identity
separate from the all?

~From our Holy Spirit

Stillness speaks.
The thinking mind does not.
The thinking mind chatters,
but chatter does not speak.

Speaking is clear
and beyond words.

Speaking is the guidance of wisdom.

Listen to speaking,
and do not worry if you cannot
explain yourself to others.
Do not worry what they think.

Follow speaking in trust,
and you follow the path of wisdom.

~From our Holy Spirit

Stillness is like
clear awareness without thought.

Without thought is knowledge.
Knowledge cannot be with thought,
because thinking blocks knowledge.

Tune into
clear awareness without thought.
Learn to listen to it.

Clear awareness without thought
guides perfectly,
because clear awareness without thought
is wisdom.

~From our Holy Spirit

Learn to listen to silence.
It too has a Voice.
You must be still to hear its Voice,
because its Voice is not loud
or controlling.

The Voice of silence is peaceful
and suggesting.

It gives ideas of love
into a world
that seems not to know love.
Therefore, its suggestions
may be different
than you would think.

Let go of what you think
out of a desire
to listen to love.

Be still.
Listen.
And joyously follow.

~From our Holy Spirit

Devotion is an act of silence.
It is a decision
to stop the flow of thoughts
and return to the wisdom of stillness.

Thoughts shall start again,
and your attention will drift to them
if you are interested.

But if you are also interested in devotion,
you can again make the decision
to return to the Heart.

In this decision,
thoughts are not fed.
That which is not fed
must eventually die.

~From our Holy Spirit

Peace is not a feeling.
It is a state of mind
when the thinker has been put to rest
and true wisdom guides.

Thinking blocks the flow of wisdom.
To know wisdom, one must stop thinking
or one must give attention
to the gaps between the thoughts.

If one gives attention to thinking
one will not know wisdom,
and one will be ignorant
of the realization of peace.
