A universal assembly for true discernment
Expansion is the realization of truth
over illusion.
It is the putting aside of limits,
which never existed.
It is seeing beyond false identity
into the unknown
and ungraspable,
which is you.
You are not
to be controlled
or limited,
not even by you.
You are to be discovered,
and discovery happens
through allowing the mystery.
~From our Holy Spirit
Within you
there is a place
where I am
and you are
and there is no difference between us.
This is a state of oneness,
where the two are joined,
and they are the same one.
There is no loss
in this state of awareness.
There is only more.
This is why I have asked you
to inquire deep and broad.
Within depth, there is expansion.
~From our Holy Spirit
Rest the mind frequently today,
as often as you remember,
and notice as you take a moment
to do nothing
and to think nothing
that you exist.
Just notice this.
Notice that nothing needs to be done
for this one magnificent fact to be true.
Nothing needs to be thought
to realize this truth.
The fact of existence already is.
It is now.
It is true.
It is complete.
And take a moment
to thank your Father
for the gift of existence.
~From our Holy Spirit
The Heart that is beyond words
is not beyond you.
It is only thought that would tell you so.
It is only thought that can deceive.
Put aside thought,
if only for a moment,
and then ask,
“Am I when thought isn’t?”
Surely you will notice
that you are not dependent
on thought.
Then ask,
“Am I when thought is?”
Surely you will notice
that whatever you are,
it is present both with
and without thought.
~From our Holy Spirit
The Heart is not the thought.
The Heart is beyond thought,
although the Heart can speak
through thought
when one desires to find
the Heart in form.
The Heart is that
which cannot be known with thought,
although its knowing
can be expressed in thought.
When looking for the Heart
put all thoughts aside.
Feel for that which communicates
when you move into a place
of patient and willing listening.
Listen as if you are listening
for the Voice of silence within the wind.
~From our Holy Spirit
You are your Heart.
When you know your Heart,
you know you.
Therefore, your search for Self
is a search inward
to the Heart,
to the true meaning and
knowing of You.
I cannot tell you what you are.
You must know it for yourself.
But if you search inward for You,
you are looking in the right direction.
~From our Holy Spirit
The truth of your Self is within.
It may seem hidden from you,
but it is not hidden.
It is within
and it is you,
as close as your own heart.
Even closer.
As close as your breath.
If your own truth is so close,
so inseparable from your own nature,
why is it that you cannot sense it…
cannot seem to know it?
It is because you are choosing to know
something else as your self.
Look at your choice.
See what you are choosing and ask,
“Am I willing to place this aside
in order to know something more?”
~From our Holy Spirit
It is time to look inward
at the mind, the heart, and the soul,
and ask, “What am I?”
This is a question
that should not be answered too quickly,
for if an answer is given
that the mind can understand,
that is not the answer at all.
If an answer is given
that can be explained fully with words,
that is not the answer at all.
Search deep within your inquiry
and also search broadly.
Do not limit your answer
to what can be understood
or taught.
Do not limit your answer
to any idea that has an ending
or definition.
Limit your answer
only when defining what you are not.
When defining what you are,
know that the inquiry continues forever.
~From our Holy Spirit
Your mind
is designed to distract you,
to make you think
and look away
from what is.
This is why the mind
is the great story teller.
It is like an illusionist
that uses stories
to keep you from seeing
what is true.
Be aware of the illusionist’s tricks.
Look on them gently and without judgment.
But do not forget what the tricks are for,
and you will not be so willingly
deceived by them.
~From our Holy Spirit
