The realization that you are the chooser
can come from making choice,
and then observing the effects of choice.

Notice when you listen to stories,
you feel the emotional effect
the stories intended to evoke.

Notice when you choose to rest from listening,
the emotional effects begin to soften.

Notice when you are able to choose
not to listen at all,
there are no emotional effects.

Through observing this,
you learn you are the chooser,
and you begin to trust more
in your ability to choose.

~From our Holy Spirit

The story teller is just that…
a story teller.
It tells you stories,
and you may choose to listen and believe,
or you may choose to disregard those stories
and focus your attention elsewhere.

But in order to do this,
you must allow the realization
that you are not the story teller.
You are the chooser.

~From our Holy Spirit

Remember that you are not the thinking mind.
That is the same as saying,
you are not the story teller.

You made the story teller
and you give it freedom to tell its stories,
but you are the one who made it.
You are not it itself.

When you observe the story teller,
observe it knowing you are not it.
You are looking at what you made,
but you are not looking at you.

~From our Holy Spirit

The mind is the story teller.
Peace is what you are.
The story teller can lay a story over peace,
but it cannot take peace away.

Try this today:

When the mind tells its stories,
take a break from what you hear.
Take a moment to notice peace,
which still is when the story is taken away.

That peace is you.

~From our Holy Spirit

The mind will tell you stories,
which purpose is to defeat the peace within.
That is only because the mind was made
to deliver the experience of something different.

The mind is not bad.
It is not scary or frightening.
It is simply distracting you with stories
so you may choose to have an experience.

To return to the peace that resides within,
remember that peace is your reality
and stories are just a game you play.

~From our Holy Spirit

Rest in whatever happens today,
in whatever you seem to see or experience on the outside,
and in whatever you seem to see or experience within.

Rest today, and let it be.
Observe it, but make no decisions about it.
Let innocent perception guide your way of seeing.

~From our Holy Spirit

Separation is a false idea
laid upon truth.
There is no truth to this idea,
and so there is no separation.

Have gratitude for truth today.
Do not struggle to understand it
with your self-will and your ideas.

Rest in the assurance of it,
and give willingness that truth
reveal its lovely Self
to you.

~From our Holy Spirit

Letting go of self-will
is letting go of judgments
you have laid upon truth.

When the judgments,
or decisions,
about what you see
are removed by a decision within the mind,
the original state of mind is reinstated,
and in this state
you see.

~From our Holy Spirit

Observing is merely this:
Watching while realizing
you do not know.

Observing sets the moment free.
It does not make of it a slave.
It does not make it that
which you would have it be.

When the moment is free, it is a gift.
As freedom, it is the reflection of your truth.
As this gift, it is free to give a gift.
It is free to give the freedom you have given
back to the one who gave it.

~From our Holy Spirit

You are ready for the next step now,
and the next step is remembering.
Here is what you are ready to remember:

You do not know,
and in not knowing
is all knowing known.

Stay in the moment.
Remain still
by remembering you do not know.

Trust the moment
without needing to understand.

Relax in trust,
and watch how it all unfolds.

~From our Holy Spirit
