The emphasis of distinction
or importance
placed on one thing over another
separates each idea
from its source.

This act of rejection
is the cause of all pain.

Being aware of reality
is continuous focus on Source.
In this, there is no rejection,
and so there is only joy.

~From our Holy Spirit

Pain is part of the story.
Therefore, pain
to any degree or measure
is a sign
that you are placing importance
on the story.

When you place importance
on the story
you are not aware of reality.

In this way,
you are confused,
and this is the cause
of your pain.

~From our Holy Spirit

Watching the story
and being guided within it
by a Voice that is not
part of the story
is not the same
as believing
and being involved with
the story.

One must take a step back
with an awareness
that the story isn’t important
in order to be guided
by a Voice
that is not part of the story.

Pain is part of the story.
Therefore, the only answer
to all problems of pain
is to willingly step back
from the story.

~From our Holy Spirit

One can live within the story,
while being aware of reality.
This is what is meant by
“awakened.”

One who is awakened
does not fear,
because that one knows
what he looks upon
and lives within.

To hold to the story as true
is not to awaken.
To awaken
one must be willing
to let go of all appearances
as not true.

~From our Holy Spirit

Appearances are like stories.
They only seem more real
because they seem to be outside of you.

But just as you noticed
that stories are merely stories,
you can see
that appearances are stories too.

Start by observing appearances
without immediately investing belief in them.

Withhold belief even a little,
and see if you don’t start to see
appearances as stories.

~From our Holy Spirit

Appearances are like a stop.
When you believe in them
you are limited by your belief.

To experience your Self
and the all
as unlimited
let go of the limits of appearances.

~From our Holy Spirit

Aliveness has a Voice.
It is the Voice for all,
because Life
is the one unifying field.

When appearances are seen
as having no meaning,
the Voice for Life is clear.

When appearances are seen as meaningful
and requiring a response for salvation,
the Voice for Life may seem weak,
or it may not be heard at all.

Let go of appearances.
Trust what your eyes cannot see.

~From our Holy Spirit

Rest.
Let go of appearances today
by looking at the aliveness
that is.

When you look at aliveness
and celebrate aliveness
for the simplicity and perfection
that it is,
appearances are not judged,
because appearances are seen
to be meaningless.

~From our Holy Spirit

Love is living,
and love is
all there is.

Open your eyes.
This is the one unifying field.
It is life living now.

~From our Holy Spirit

What are you
if you are not bad?
What is life
if it isn’t fearful?

You are perfect freedom,
unbounded,
limitless,
and beyond imagination,
although imagination is included
within the boundlessness
of your freedom.

Life is a word
for what you are.

Life
is living
and free
and without end.

~From our Holy Spirit
