When the stories are put aside
all that is left is Me.

What am I?

I am the moment
without definition.
I am the feeling of freedom
that brings joy to your heart.
I am your knowing,
which guides you
when you don’t hide your knowing
with fear.

I am all of this,
and I am you.

~From our Holy Spirit

Try this today:
Take active breaks
from the stories of the mind.

When you remember,
close your eyes and look at
the story in your mind.
Examine it and observe it.
See what it is telling you.

Then actively place the story aside
and enjoy a moment of silence
with the message of your heart.

Don’t seek too much from the heart.
Accept in gratitude
that which it gives.

~From our Holy Spirit

One way to let go of
the thinking in the thinking mind
is to watch it.

Pay attention to the stories it tells,
not from a point of involvement and belief,
but from the perspective of learning.

What are these stories telling you?
How are they teaching you to see the world?
What are they asking you to expect from your brothers?

Are these stories helpful?
If not, why are you listening?

~From our Holy Spirit

Your heart is open
to the love of God.
Your mind is closed
when it busies itself
with thinking and defining,
deciding and ideas.

Leave the mind open
by listening to the heart.
It speaks too
although its Voice is quieter
and it does not use words.

The mind can put words
to the message of the heart.
When it does this,
the mind is not thinking.
It is listening.

~From our Holy Spirit
