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
