Thoughts of Awakening # 238

September 18, 2018

Recognize the truth
of this statement today:

“What I really want to do
is what my Heart guides me to do,
but because I listen to my mind,
I do not do it.

“I betray myself
and delay myself
by listening to a voice
that isn’t me.”

And then decide to listen differently.
Decide to listen to
and follow
the joyous Voice
of the Heart.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 237

September 17, 2018

“Abide in Me

as I abide in you”

is a request.

When you say “yes,”
it is a devotion.

It is a devotional promise
to listen to Me,
to practice with Me,
and to be one in my love
until you know nothing
but Me
as Me.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 236

September 16, 2018

Ask yourself, “What am I?”
Continue to ask
until you are certain
of the answer.

And then, let yourself
be led from there.
Let yourself
live from there.

Do not let yourself
forget
what you have discovered
you are.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 235

September 15, 2018

Identity is an obstacle,
because identity defines you
as separate
from everything else you experience.

It says you are unique,
different, stand-apart,
and special.

These ideas are in opposition
to truth,
because these ideas create
the illusion of opposition
where there is only peace.

Continue to ask, “What am I?”,
remembering that the answer
is beyond definition.

And notice that even when
you are not asking the question,
the mind is constantly answering
with ideas of defined identity.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 234

September 14, 2018

When one realizes
that he is not the one
he previously thought he was,
he is ready to attain
a permanent sense of Self.
He is ready to awaken to Self.

But when one believes fully
that he is what he is not,
he has no true interest
in Self-realization.

Ask yourself, “What am I?”
and let the belief in self
be washed away
through seeing that its limits
cannot be You.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 233

September 13, 2018

Asking “What am I?”
bypasses the mind
and its question of “Who am I?”

“Who” implies identity.
“What” remains open.

When asking “What am I?”
remember also to answer definitions with
“I do not know who I am.”

In the absence of identity,
truth can emerge.
In the absence of identity,
“I” can be known.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 232

September 12, 2018

Who you think you are
is an obstacle,
because who you think you are
also includes a definition
of how you must be
if you are to be worthy,
and how circumstances must be
if you are to be happy.

Who you think you are
demands that you control
and that you be controlled.
There can be no freedom in this.

See who you think you are.
See the setup that this thought is.
Release the idea that limits and controls.
Accept unbounded freedom as truth.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 231

September 11, 2018

I have asked you
to rest the mind.
This is not a little request.

To rest the mind frequently
will bring the most insight.
To rest it little
will bring the least.

The mantra
“I am that I am”
is a gift of awakening.

Cherish it as a gift,
and you give love
to your reality.

~From our Holy Spirit

Filed Under: Daily Contemplation, Sidebar

Thoughts of Awakening # 230

September 10, 2018

“I am that I am”
is open.
It is as open as the sky.
It has no end.
It continues forever.

This is the best idea of you.
This is the truth
without definition.

Do not put thought to this idea.
Merely let it be thought,
repeated,
by the mind.

And after it is thought,
rest the mind without thinking,
and then let this thought
be thought again.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 229

September 9, 2018

“I don’t know who I am”
is a helpful response
to any thought
that tries to define who you are.

Definitions are closed and limiting.
“I don’t know” opens
to potential and discovery.

“I don’t know who I am”
is a statement
that facilitates Self-discovery,
because it is a statement
that dissolves the idea
that definitions are fact.
