Thoughts of Awakening # 143

June 15, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Listen to life.
It sings a different song
than stories do.
It whistles
to a different tune.

Life sings of waiting,
watching and unfolding.
Stories tell of planning,
making and doing.

Life whistles in patience,
acceptance and happiness.
Stories scream of needs,
fears and control.

Life is peaceful.
Stories are busy.
Life is a moving flow of harmony.
Stories are stuck
in the way things need to be.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 142

June 14, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Life is.
Look upon everything you see,
and realize
life is living now.

Look upon every feeling you feel,
and realize
life is living.

Look upon every thought,
whether it seems to be
a ‘good’ thought
or a ‘bad’ thought,
and realize
life is now.

Life is.
Life is living now.

In seeing this,
your eyes are lifted
above the details that die
and fixed firmly upon
the constant that is true.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 141

June 13, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Is is,
and because Is is
without end,
it has no need to fear
and no need to control.

Is allows,
because Is is.

In life, there is freedom.
In knowing life,
freedom is realized.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 140

June 12, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Life is.
Is cannot stop.
Is cannot die.
Is is,
and Is is continually.

Release your fear of death
by releasing your fear
of the moment
now.

You seem to be fearing something,
and that something may seem to be
a reasonable fear.
But underneath the something
there is the fear
that Is isn’t,
and it is the fear that Is isn’t
now.

Notice that Is is.
Whatever may seem to be,
Is is.
Notice this fact, and rejoice.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 139

June 11, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

The Source of life is.
Life is.
They are one and the same.
One seems to come from the other,
and yet the two are inseparable.

Life is.
It cannot be controlled.
Who can put a hand around life
and make it other than it is?

Life is.
In seeing this,
and in loving this,
one has seen and loved its Source.

In seeing and loving the Source,
one cannot believe
he is separate from love.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 138

June 10, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Today is a day of recognizing
the silent, still Source within.

Focus on one word today
and let all else be as it is.

The one word is this:

IS

Focus on this word today,
and let it speak volumes.

~From our Holy Spirit

Filed Under: Daily Contemplation, GentleHealingTips-Year2, Sidebar

Thoughts of Awakening # 137

June 9, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Ideas come from nothingness.

Ideas based upon ideas
are not ideas of Source,
which is the soil of stillness;
they are ideas of illusion,
born out of the artificiality
of other ideas.

All ideas are artificial,
but ideas born of Source
speak of Source
and point to Source.

Ideas born of other ideas
only further echo
the ever-extending-ideas
of artificiality.

Thoughts of Awakening # 136

June 8, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

The head speaks of leading.
The heart does not.

Follow in order to lead.

Today is a day of quietness,
a day of getting in touch with the heart.
Although its Voice is quiet,
it is also loud;
but the voice of the head must be quieted
in order to hear the heart.

A mere shift in listening,
which is a shift in intention and desire,
allows the mind to quiet for a moment,
so the loudness of the quiet heart
can be heard.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 135

June 7, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Follow in order to lead.

Following and leading are the same.
Ultimately there is no difference,
since there is no one separate from you
to follow or to lead.

Follow the Voice of your Heart,
and you lead yourself
into awakening.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 134

June 6, 2018 By Dawn Fernandez

Fear is an obstacle,
because fear says, “Stop!”

Whenever you look at fear,
notice that its message is
“Stop!”

Then ask yourself
if you want to stop.
What is fear
trying to stop you from?

Look at that too,
and see if you want to stop.
Look to see
if you want to listen to fear.
