The choice for peace
sees the Heart.

This is how you know
you have chosen peace.

It is as if you see
the Heart in everyone you meet
and in everyone you think of.

It is as if you see
through the Heart
into the world,
so although the world has not changed,
you know only its Heart.

This way of seeing
is peace,
and it comes through your decision
to listen only
to the Voice of Peace.

~From our Holy Spirit

The choice for peace
is the choice of the Heart.

Therefore, realize
that you want to surrender
and you want to obey.
This is your truest wish.

When the independent thought
rises up
and asks you to listen to it,
remember that you want
to listen to love,
and there is no love
in independence.

~From our Holy Spirit

To want to lead
is to want to remain independent.
This is also to choose conflict,
which is pain.

To willingly surrender into following
is to choose love
and harmony
and oneness.

This choice is peace.

~From our Holy Spirit

Be still.
Be silent.
Listen without thought.

Creation is of mind,
so it matters where the mind dwells.

The mind may dwell with thinking,
which teaches one lesson,
or it may dwell with listening,
which teaches another.

Obedience is not to be feared.
It is to be embraced,
because obedience is merely
the retraining of the mind
to listen.

To listen is to love.

The creation of experience
comes from choices
made in the mind.

~From our Holy Spirit

The individual self
is an illusion,
because the idea of individual self
says that there is a “me”
who stands apart from “you.”
It does not see
that the experience itself
comes from one creation.

Creation and creator are one,
because the process of creation
is creator,
and creation cannot be apart from
the process.

This need not be understood,
but it must be accepted,
if one is to see why or how
to love
his brother as his Self.

~From our Holy Spirit

Forgiveness is letting go
of ideas that are not true.
It’s the opposite of clinging to them.

It’s being willing to see
that there is another way to see.
It is being willing to be wrong
about the idea
that is causing pain.

~From our Holy Spirit

Stories are ideas.
Look at your stories
and see they are a collection of ideas.
Then ask your mind honestly,
“What is it that these ideas teach?”

To see and recognize truth,
one must relinquish ideas
that are not truth.
One must have willingness to see
beyond false ideas.
One must desire his desire for truth.

~From our Holy Spirit

When you watch the mind,
watch for stories
and belief in stories.

All stories are judgments
teaching that ‘what is’
is what it is not.

If you watch the stories carefully,
you will see this is true.
You will see a him and a her,
the story of separation.
You will see a right and a wrong,
the story of judgment, sin and guilt.

When you see stories
remember they simply are not true.
Remember that stories
do not speak of what you look upon.

~From our Holy Spirit

Now is the time
to watch your mind.

Always, the time is now.

If you forgot for awhile,
and you notice that you forgot,
the time of forgetfulness has past.

Now is the time now.
And now is the time
to start watching the mind again.

Be grateful for the love
and generosity
of now.

~From our Holy Spirit

The ego is
the idea of separation
believed.

This belief
seems deeply entrenched,
within the mind,
but that is only because
the belief is believed
again and again now.

A false belief
cannot have real roots.
The only root
it seems to have
is your continued investment.

~From our Holy Spirit
