Thoughts of Awakening # 168

July 10, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Listening to the Heart
is letting go of stories.
Letting go of stories
is letting go of judgment and fear.

This is what it means to be still.
This is what it means to be quiet.
This is what it means to be at peace.

One cannot be still while judging.
One cannot be quiet
while listening to the noise of stories.
One cannot be at peace
when the mind is absorbed with fear.

One must choose between one and the other.
One must look and see what each option offers,
and then one must make a choice.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 167

July 9, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Fear springs forth from judgment,
and fear spawns judgment.
Both are effects
of believing you need control,
and both feed the idea
from which they originally came.

Stories are in the mind.
Truth is in the heart.
Stories have words and reasons.
The Heart provides simple guidance now.

Fear trusts stories,
and stories are based on fear.
The Heart allows and listens and waits.
The Heart trusts truth,
and gently awaits unfolding.

07-08-18 Weekly Gathering: “The Power of Looking Into Your Fears and Resistance”

July 8, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Listen to this audio

Topic: “The Power of Looking Into Your Fears and Resistance.”

Description: Rev. Jay McCormick talked about how we have been brainwashed to NOT Look within. Trained to be afraid that if we see it then that means we have accepted its real. Learn to be in the feelings without being caught in them. Learn to listen to what the story teller is saying with a compassionate heart and listen to the body’s present experience. All is passing through out. Learn to develop open curiosity about Life rather than trying to control it.

Reading: Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert read Chapter 4, “What’s In the Way is the Way” by Mary O’Malley

Thoughts of Awakening # 166

July 8, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Fear comes from wanting
something other than peace.

If you look at your mind
whenever you are feeling fearful,
you will notice
that you are wanting
something other than peace.

And yet,
beyond that wanting
what you really want
is peace that can never be threatened.

Focus your mind on what you truly want
without feeling you know how to have it.

Ask peace
to teach you what peace is.

In assurance
that the Voice of peace will answer,
let go of your thoughts of fear.

~From our Holy Spirit
