Sit in gratitude.
Sit in stillness.
Do not search your mind
to find that which you are grateful for.
Instead, sit in gratitude.
Sit in stillness.

Let gratitude and stillness,
which come from the Heart,
enlighten the mind
with the message of gratitude.

The Heart knows
what you are truly grateful for.
Listen and accept that.

~From our Holy Spirit

Gratitude is a gift.
It is the natural extension of love.
To love is to extend,
and to be grateful is to love.

Gratitude extends.
It increases.
This is what it does.
So gratitude is your extension of yourself
within all of that which you are.

~From our Holy Spirit

Listening to the Heart
is not a special talent
that some have and others don’t.
Listening to the Heart
is one talent given to all.

When you hear your brother
speak from his Heart
and you recognize it,
you are listening to yours.

When you hear your brother
speak from his Heart
and you want to follow it,
you are desiring to follow yours.

Recognize the Heart as one Heart,
and be grateful whenever you hear its song.
Through your gratitude for it,
you tune in with it,
and once you are in tune,
you will hear it more.

~From our Holy Spirit

When you listen,
listen to the Heart.
Not the human heart,
which may dream
but is still limited in its perspective.

Listen to the Heart of all,
which is connected to life
and our one joy.

Listen in silence for a moment.
Ask the Heart what to do,
how to respond,
and what to say, if anything.

When you ask the Heart
with no personal attachment to the answer
and with a desire
only to do what the Heart
would guide you to do,
a clear answer can be given,
because no other desire
blocks the answer
you most want to hear.

~From our Holy Spirit

The goal that you seek
determines the experience that you have.
But be not confused by the goal,
for there are only two goals you can seek.

You can seek independence,
which is conflict,
or you can seek listening,
which is harmony and peace.

~From our Holy Spirit

The choice for peace
sees the Heart.

This is how you know
you have chosen peace.

It is as if you see
the Heart in everyone you meet
and in everyone you think of.

It is as if you see
through the Heart
into the world,
so although the world has not changed,
you know only its Heart.

This way of seeing
is peace,
and it comes through your decision
to listen only
to the Voice of Peace.

~From our Holy Spirit

The choice for peace
is the choice of the Heart.

Therefore, realize
that you want to surrender
and you want to obey.
This is your truest wish.

When the independent thought
rises up
and asks you to listen to it,
remember that you want
to listen to love,
and there is no love
in independence.

~From our Holy Spirit

To want to lead
is to want to remain independent.
This is also to choose conflict,
which is pain.

To willingly surrender into following
is to choose love
and harmony
and oneness.

This choice is peace.

~From our Holy Spirit

Be still.
Be silent.
Listen without thought.

Creation is of mind,
so it matters where the mind dwells.

The mind may dwell with thinking,
which teaches one lesson,
or it may dwell with listening,
which teaches another.

Obedience is not to be feared.
It is to be embraced,
because obedience is merely
the retraining of the mind
to listen.

To listen is to love.

The creation of experience
comes from choices
made in the mind.

~From our Holy Spirit

The individual self
is an illusion,
because the idea of individual self
says that there is a “me”
who stands apart from “you.”
It does not see
that the experience itself
comes from one creation.

Creation and creator are one,
because the process of creation
is creator,
and creation cannot be apart from
the process.

This need not be understood,
but it must be accepted,
if one is to see why or how
to love
his brother as his Self.

~From our Holy Spirit
