What is the Holy Spirit?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The<\/em> Teachings of Inner Ramana<\/em> says:<\/p>\n

Fear comes simply from not knowing reality. Therefore, the only answer to fear is to let go of what is false and to remember reality as true. Discarding the world is as simple as remembering that it isn’t true. This is as simple as living from within instead of from without. One who is forgetting the world takes his cues from within.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiscarding the world\u201d is the same as seeing that we are unaffected by it. It is the same as being in the world, but not of it<\/em>. It is also what our special theme means when it says:<\/p>\n

If you but knew how much your Father yearns to have you recognize your sinlessness, you would not let His Voice appeal in vain, nor turn away from His replacement for the fearful images and dreams you made.<\/p>\n

Although this language is highly symbolic, our \u201csinlessness\u201d in this context is our unaffectedness. The previous paragraph from our special theme could be translated into less symbolic language in this way:<\/p>\n

Your yearning for truth is the yearning to know your unaffected Self, which is your truth. When you realize how strong this yearning is in you, you will cease to listen to ego; you will listen instead to spiritual intuition. You will let spiritual intuition guide you to the realization of your Self. You will stay in the awareness of your Self, and see all things through the lens of truth. In this way, all you will see is truth, and you will rejoice at what you see.<\/p>\n

As The Teachings of Inner Ramana<\/em> says, \u201cThis is as simple as living from within instead of from without.\u201d<\/p>\n

If we look at the world as a movie or a play, we can also say that it has two directors. One director is the ego. When the actor is too caught up in the play of the world, the ego shouts its directions, and the actor blindly follows. This actor has forgotten that the play is a play and believes s\/he is affected by everything that is happening.<\/p>\n

The other director is intuition. In order to hear this quieter director, who whispers instructions quietly from within the actor, the actor must remember that s\/he wants to hear the director\u2019s instructions. To do this, the actor must be more focused within than on the play. Certainly, there is awareness of the play, but the actor is turned inward to discover what s\/he is to say, do, not say or not do as the script of the play unfolds.<\/p>\n

I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s lesson says, \u201cLoss is not loss when properly perceived. Pain is impossible. \u2026 This is the truth, at first to be but said and then repeated many times; and next to be accepted as but partly true, with many reservations. Then to be considered seriously more and more, and finally accepted as the truth. I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n

The thoughts that hurt come from the ego. They are thoughts that rise up from the belief that we are affected by the world.<\/p>\n

In order to change all thoughts that hurt, we must change directions and directors. Instead of being focused outward, we change direction and focus inward, always inward.<\/p>\n

Outward results in fear and suffering.
\nInward realizes wisdom, peace and trust.<\/p>\n

Remain focused inward today by practicing surrender as it is taught in The Teachings of Inner Ramana<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you have 30 minutes for meditation, I recommend this meditation today:<\/p>\n
