Thoughts of Awakening #323

December 26, 2018 By Regina Dawn Akers

Surrender to the inner light
takes away all attachment to ideas,
for ideas are outer
and surrender is devotion to inner.

Surrender to the inner light
takes away all pain and suffering,
for pain and suffering are outer.
Pain and suffering is focus on outer ideas,
ideas of form and ideas of body.

Surrender is devotion to the inner light.
When one is consumed by the inner,
the outer disappears.

Ideas are distraction from the inner light.
When one is distracted,
return yourself to devotion.

This is true practice.

Thoughts of Awakening, #322

December 25, 2018 By Regina Dawn Akers

Ideas are an obstacle
when ideas are a part
of self-identity.

No idea is a part of your truth.
Your truth is beyond all ideas.

Ideas are used to guide you in this world,
but an idea is best used to guide
when you listen, act
and then let go.

An idea held to
beyond its moment of usefulness
is an idea that forms self-identity.
This idea is an obstacle.

See the obstacle and let it go.
Stay within the flow of ideas
without clinging to any of them.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening, #321

December 24, 2018 By Regina Dawn Akers

An idea in the mind
is just an idea.

It is nothing more
and nothing less.

If an idea is given attention
it will become manifest
in one form or another,
but manifest does not make it
more than an idea.

You are beyond ideas
even though ideas may seem to be manifest
as you.

Let go of ideas
and their manifestation will drop away,
but you still are.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening #320

December 23, 2018 By Regina Dawn Akers

How do you define yourself?
What are the limits you place
on the idea of who you are?

Do not take this question lightly
as something to read
and then move beyond.

Stay with this question.
Give willingness to see
definitions you might not have seen,
which are part of your identity.

Look at who you think you are and ask,
“Is this idea a limit?”
If the answer is “yes”,
give willingness to release the limit
regardless of how precious
the idea may be to you.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening #319

December 22, 2018 By Regina Dawn Akers

“I am not what I think I am”
is an important realization.

As long as you think
you are what you think
you will not let go of the obstacle,
which is your thinking.

Realizing you are beyond
the limited thoughts you hold
allows you to lovingly release
the limited,
and this opens your vision
to the whole.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening #318

December 21, 2018 By Regina Dawn Akers

One focus is helpful.
One focus is one purpose.

The past is not one focus.
Different meanings for different events
is not one purpose.

Pull your mind into your Heart
until there is no mind
but only the awareness of the Heart.

With this one awareness
look outward at experience.
From this point of awareness
you see only one thing.

~From our Holy Spirit

Filed Under: Daily Contemplation, GentleHealingTips-Year2, Sidebar

Thoughts of Awakening #317

December 20, 2018 By Regina Dawn Akers

The past is a limit you place
on the present and the future.
As you choose the past as a limit
you see what you expect.

This is a limit
or a closed-box experience.

But the walls of the box
have been built by you,
and by meaning you have chosen to believe.

Nothing holds the box in place
but you
through your choice
to re-believe the meaning of the past
again and again.

~From our Holy Spirit

Filed Under: Daily Contemplation, GentleHealingTips-Year2, Sidebar

Thoughts of Awakening #316

December 19, 2018 By Regina Dawn Akers

The past has no meaning now.
Any meaning it ever had
was only the meaning you gave it.

Now is a fresh moment.
This means that meaning from the past
can be looked at anew
and new meaning can be given.

However to make this change
do not deny one critical point.
Any meaning the past seemed to have
was absolutely given by you.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening #315

December 18, 2018 By Regina Dawn Akers

Knowledge is within
beyond the mind.

Knowledge is constant
before and beyond the world.

Knowledge is realization
of the truth of what you are.

Knowledge is peace,
because it is the end of all questions
and the permanent rest
of the doubting mind.

~From our Holy Spirit

Filed Under: Daily Contemplation, GentleHealingTips-Year2, Sidebar

Thoughts of Awakening #314

December 17, 2018 By Regina Dawn Akers

Notice when you are thinking,
and then say,
“I am willing not to think.
I am willing to be guided
by the finger of silence.”

Realize you need not know
at the level of mind
to be happy.
You need not know
to be moved.

You only feel you need to know,
because it gives you a sense of identity.
But isn’t a sense of identity
separate from the all?
