Thoughts of Awakening # 223

September 3, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

You are your Heart.
When you know your Heart,
you know you.

Therefore, your search for Self
is a search inward
to the Heart,
to the true meaning and
knowing of You.

I cannot tell you what you are.
You must know it for yourself.
But if you search inward for You,
you are looking in the right direction.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 222

September 2, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

The truth of your Self is within.
It may seem hidden from you,
but it is not hidden.
It is within
and it is you,
as close as your own heart.
Even closer.
As close as your breath.

If your own truth is so close,
so inseparable from your own nature,
why is it that you cannot sense it…
cannot seem to know it?

It is because you are choosing to know
something else as your self.

Look at your choice.
See what you are choosing and ask,
“Am I willing to place this aside
in order to know something more?”

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 221

September 1, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

It is time to look inward
at the mind, the heart, and the soul,
and ask, “What am I?”

This is a question
that should not be answered too quickly,
for if an answer is given
that the mind can understand,
that is not the answer at all.

If an answer is given
that can be explained fully with words,
that is not the answer at all.

Search deep within your inquiry
and also search broadly.
Do not limit your answer
to what can be understood
or taught.
Do not limit your answer
to any idea that has an ending
or definition.

Limit your answer
only when defining what you are not.
When defining what you are,
know that the inquiry continues forever.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 220

August 31, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Your mind
is designed to distract you,
to make you think
and look away
from what is.

This is why the mind
is the great story teller.
It is like an illusionist
that uses stories
to keep you from seeing
what is true.

Be aware of the illusionist’s tricks.
Look on them gently and without judgment.
But do not forget what the tricks are for,
and you will not be so willingly
deceived by them.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 219

August 30, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

What the spirit knows,
the mind forgets.

One who listens to mind
forgets also.
One who listens to spirit
knows.

Be still today,
and know.

Trust your knowing,
even as the mind moves to forget.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 218

August 29, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

The willingness to do nothing,
is the willingness to let go of control.

Let this be first.
Let movement follow.

~From our Holy Spirit

Filed Under: Daily Contemplation, GentleHealingTips-Year2, Sidebar

Thoughts of Awakening # 217

August 28, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

When you free fall,
you can only observe.
You have no control.

If you feel fear,
free fall into that.
Observe fear, and let it be.

When you are trying to change,
you are not free falling.
You are clinging.

Let it be.
Free fall into freedom.

~From our Holy Spirit

Filed Under: Daily Contemplation, GentleHealingTips-Year2, Sidebar

Thoughts of Awakening # 216

August 27, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

This is the meaning of “let go.”

When you are having an experience
that is not communicating God,
you are blocking the experience of God
by holding onto your choice
for another experience.

Let go.

Release that which you are believing.
Do not fear that which you are feeling.
Relax into the experience as it is,
and let go.

When you let go fully
and free fall into an experience without fear,
the experience must pass
because you are no longer
holding it in place.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 215

August 26, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Peace comes from desire.
Lack of peace also comes from desire,
through your desire
to choose fear and noise.

Rest in this realization.
Rest in the acceptance of your truth.

Rest in the realization
that your exact experience
is chosen by you now.
And so, since this is true,
you may now choose
a different experience.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 214

August 25, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Set your small desires aside,
those personal desires
that tell you what you want to see,
how you want to be,
and what you want to have.

These desires,
although they may seem honorable
or highly coveted by the self,
are blocks
to the truth of the Heart.

If you can see
that small desires
keep true and permanent happiness
away from you,
you will relinquish small desires.

It isn’t the desires
that you desire the most.
It is the happiness that you desire,
and to you
small desires are the means to happiness.
