Thoughts of Awakening # 203

August 14, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Forgiveness is letting go
of ideas that are not true.
It’s the opposite of clinging to them.

It’s being willing to see
that there is another way to see.
It is being willing to be wrong
about the idea
that is causing pain.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 202

August 13, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Stories are ideas.
Look at your stories
and see they are a collection of ideas.
Then ask your mind honestly,
“What is it that these ideas teach?”

To see and recognize truth,
one must relinquish ideas
that are not truth.
One must have willingness to see
beyond false ideas.
One must desire his desire for truth.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 201

August 12, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

When you watch the mind,
watch for stories
and belief in stories.

All stories are judgments
teaching that ‘what is’
is what it is not.

If you watch the stories carefully,
you will see this is true.
You will see a him and a her,
the story of separation.
You will see a right and a wrong,
the story of judgment, sin and guilt.

When you see stories
remember they simply are not true.
Remember that stories
do not speak of what you look upon.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 200

August 11, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Now is the time
to watch your mind.

Always, the time is now.

If you forgot for awhile,
and you notice that you forgot,
the time of forgetfulness has past.

Now is the time now.
And now is the time
to start watching the mind again.

Be grateful for the love
and generosity
of now.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 199

August 10, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

The ego is
the idea of separation
believed.

This belief
seems deeply entrenched,
within the mind,
but that is only because
the belief is believed
again and again now.

A false belief
cannot have real roots.
The only root
it seems to have
is your continued investment.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 198

August 9, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

The ego is
the idea of separation
believed.

This is all the ego is.
It is not a truth.
It is a fantasy,
a non-reality.

And it is the idea
that is the single cause
of all pain.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 197

August 8, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

When you see yourself as separate,
you see yourself in competition.
This is the same as seeing life
as an ongoing series of battles
varying only by degree.

Peace becomes a temporary experience
between the battles.
But the battle is only
a battle of mind.
It is merely a mistake in perspective.

So the answer,
which is a permanent way of seeing no battle,
is also permanent awareness of peace.
And the answer
is merely
a shift in how you see.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 196

August 7, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

To know your true Heart,
which is the one Heart,
you must forget your self.

You cannot realize
the desires of the one
when you see yourself
as separate and apart from it.

To forget your self,
surrender into Desire.
Ask of it,
“What do you want of me?”

Hear your true Heart answer.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 195

August 6, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

The heart is desire.
The true Heart
is true desire.
There is only one true Heart.

Focus on the true Heart today.
Ask it to tell you
what you truly want.

Listen intently
to the answer it gives.
It speaks to you
of your truest desire,
the one that out shines
everything else
you think you want.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 194

August 5, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

One insists that stories are true
when one focuses on them,
talks about them,
thinks about them
and reacts to them.

How does one not
insist that stories are true?

One focuses on the Heart.
One remembers reality.
One lets the story be meaningless,
and enjoys the wonder of the moment
as it is given.

One becomes child-like,
and lets himself be moved
by an invisible hand
that is just like the wind.
