Relax.
Take a break.
Be still,
if only for a moment.

Feel love
and have gratitude
for everything you find
in stillness.

Do not worry
that you were not still enough.
Do not worry
that the length was too short.
Any worry is noise
that pulls you away from stillness.

Have gratitude
for whatever bit of stillness you reach,
however brief
and however fleeting.

Gratitude is love,
and in love
you extend stillness.

~From our Holy Spirit

There is no need to worry,
because that which is true
is true forever.

Whenever you feel the need to worry,
you have forgotten
that the truth is true,
and you have forgotten
that what is true
is you.

You are beyond your worries
and beyond the problems
that seem to plague you now.

Knowing you is peace.
Knowing you is the answer you seek.

~From our Holy Spirit

The peace of the Heart
is guidance,
because it speaks to you
of your truth.

When you seek answers
to problems you perceive in the world,
you cannot find an answer
in the peace of the Heart.

This is because
you have not set your fears aside.
You are taking fear with you,
and asking it to be peace.

Fear cannot be peace,
and peace cannot add to fear.
Peace will tell you,
“Let go of your fear.
Come to Me asking nothing.”

Rest in peace,
asking nothing from it for yourself.
Peace and guidance
shall be your reward.

~From our Holy Spirit

How does one quiet the mind?
One starts by choosing
not to fear
anything the mind is saying.

One watches each idea and picture
with the intent
to set that idea or picture aside
and be still.

One continues watching
with this intent in place
until the mind has become
empty, quiet and still.

One pauses to listen to the silence.
One feels the Heart
through the emptiness of mind.
One rejoices and has gratitude
that a moment of peace
has been given.

~From our Holy Spirit

Quiet the mind.
Be still.
Listen to peace.
It, too, has a Voice.

In peace, there is all simplicity.
In peace, there are all answers.
In peace, one finds life.
In peace, one knows truth.

How can one worry
when life has no end?
How can one fear
when life is what you are?

In knowledge of truth,
guidance is provided,
because in knowledge of truth,
there is no fear of listening
to the Voice that knows of truth.

~From our Holy Spirit

Listening to the Heart
is letting go of stories.
Letting go of stories
is letting go of judgment and fear.

This is what it means to be still.
This is what it means to be quiet.
This is what it means to be at peace.

One cannot be still while judging.
One cannot be quiet
while listening to the noise of stories.
One cannot be at peace
when the mind is absorbed with fear.

One must choose between one and the other.
One must look and see what each option offers,
and then one must make a choice.

~From our Holy Spirit

Fear springs forth from judgment,
and fear spawns judgment.
Both are effects
of believing you need control,
and both feed the idea
from which they originally came.

Stories are in the mind.
Truth is in the heart.
Stories have words and reasons.
The Heart provides simple guidance now.

Fear trusts stories,
and stories are based on fear.
The Heart allows and listens and waits.
The Heart trusts truth,
and gently awaits unfolding.

~From our Holy Spirit

Fear comes from wanting
something other than peace.

If you look at your mind
whenever you are feeling fearful,
you will notice
that you are wanting
something other than peace.

And yet,
beyond that wanting
what you really want
is peace that can never be threatened.

Focus your mind on what you truly want
without feeling you know how to have it.

Ask peace
to teach you what peace is.

In assurance
that the Voice of peace will answer,
let go of your thoughts of fear.

~From our Holy Spirit

Peace is quiet,
so peace can hear
the quiet Voice of the flow.

Peace can sense love
and follow its trail effortlessly.

Peace knows where to go,
because peace can hear the calling
in the wind.

Peace is gentle and formless.
Judgments are hard and solid.

Judgments say “no” to all things.
Peace only says “yes.”

~From our Holy Spirit

Peace is within,
beyond the judgments
and beyond the fears.

To know the guidance
that comes from the Heart of one,
one must surrender
to peace.

One can only surrender to peace
when one chooses to transcend
the obstacles of judgment and fear.

One transcends
the obstacles of judgment and fear
when one looks them in the eye
and decides not to listen to them.

By not listening,
because one desires to hear Love’s Voice,
one naturally transcends
into the depths of peace.
