The desire to be right

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

Question: Projected as outside the mind, I see the desire to be right and to prove others wrong. I also recognize this same desire in me. What would you share regarding this desire?

Answer: This desire is the desire to prove separation true, for it separates and draws lines so that division seems real.Whenever this desire is seen, it is to be recognized as false. It is false, because there cannot be right or wrong within illusion. There is only untrue. And it is false, because nothing can separate you from your brother with whom you are fully joined.

The desire to be right and make someone else wrong is a manifestation of the desire to see yourself as separate, which is the desire to believe in illusions. Believing in illusions does not make them true, but it does hide the reflection of truth from your sight.

To choose illusions is to ask confusion to be your guide. As you follow confusion, you are lost from the Vision of clarity.

Let your brother be right by recognizing that he is expressing thoughts within the mind. In this way, he is always right.

You be willing to let go of thoughts derived by thinking. Instead, ask Me how to see.

Here’s what I know

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

Hello Friends,

Here’s what I know, and I am sharing it with you because I want to learn it really, really well. Here’s what I know:

I don’t know.

I know this, because I have learned this over the last two years of listening to the Holy Spirit. I have learned that whenever I think I know, I do not hear the Voice of the Holy Spirit. But whenever I fully accept that I do not know, I hear clearly.

Now, one might think that after two years of listening to the Holy Spirit everyday, that I might have learned a thing or two so that I could stand up and say, “I do know.” But, that isn’t what I’ve learned.

What I’ve learned is that “I know” is the greatest block to Knowledge of all.

It is true that the Holy Spirit has taught me a lot over the last two years, but part of what the Holy Spirit has taught me is that there is no truth in the world. I still perceive myself as in the world, so that must mean that everything the Holy Spirit has taught me is not truth. That means that I still do not know.

I love knowing that I don’t know, because it is through not knowing that I am led. I seem to write profound writings, share knowledge and answer questions for others, but do you know how I do that? I do it by realizing that I do not know, and then the writing or the answer comes up within me from a place that is not my thinking.

I really want to shout this from the rooftops, because this is how much I want to hold on to the only thing I do know.

I do not know!

And not knowing is wonderful, because it is through not knowing that I am led.

With Love,

Regina

Why do I hold onto unworthiness?

Monday, October 23rd, 2006

Question:: Holy Spirit, why do I bring my feeling of unworthiness from the past into some of my present moments?

Answer: It is because you do not want to let go of the past. By that, I mean that you want to maintain your belief that you are separate from and different than God. In order to believe you are separate from and different than God, you must see yourself as different. Unworthiness is a choice that allows you to see yourself as different than God.

Question: So choosing unworthiness is like choosing sickness; it allows me to see myself as small. Why do I want to see myself as small? Why can’t I seem to make the choice to see myself as God?

Answer: It’s because you believe the world. You believe you have done something real within your mind, and because you believe you have done something real, you fear consequences of reversing that situation. You are afraid to let go because you don’t know what letting go will bring.

Question: And your recommendation?

Answer: Stay in the current moment. Work on the forgiveness lessons that are given to you now. Don’t worry about those yet to come. Stay focused on now, and trust Me to lead you one step at a time. It will all be perfect, because I am perfect, and I am the one who knows what is best and most useful for you.

Bring illusion to truth

Sunday, October 22nd, 2006

Question: A Course in Miracles says, “The Atonement does not make holy. You were created holy. It merely brings unholiness to holiness, or what you made to what you are. Bringing illusion to truth, or the ego to God, is the Holy Spirit’s only function.”

Holy Spirit, what do you want to share about this?

Answer: I ask you to look at these words carefully, for they say more than they may seem to say if you look at them too quickly. Ignore the sentence breaks. This is all one thought. Look at the words that are brought together, and then look beyond the words to what they say.

Bring unholiness to holiness.
Bring what you made to what you are.
Bring illusion to truth.
Bring ego to God.

Let your eyes look at these words. Let the mind drink of their message. Let the heart tell you it is true. Let resistance go, as resistance is unholiness. 

You are holiness.
That is what you are.
That is your truth,
because you are God.

You are not a subset of God. You are not almost God. You are God, because God is all that is.

God is a life force, which brings into being. And yet, nothing exists that is not God. In seeing this, you see everything. In accepting this, you are free.

Bring the unholy to the holy. See that one is eternal reality and the other need not be, because it cannot be, because it is not you.

Bring what you made to what you are, and see clearly which is truth. Let go of illusion, because it need not be, because it cannot be, because it is not you.

Bring the ego to God, and remember what you are. Be grateful for your truth. Choose to acknowledge truth by not acknowledging that which must be forever false, because it cannot be true.

Bring unholiness to holiness.
Bring what you made to what you are.
Bring illusion to truth.
Bring ego to God.

Accept the Atonement, which is correction of an error that can never be true, by letting go of the error, which never was.

I want only what the Holy Spirit wants,
and I don’t know what that is.
That’s why I am willing to lay down my thinking
and listen.

The Correction of Error

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

Question: Why does A Course in Miracles say that our brother is always right?

Answer: Our brother is always right, because our brother is reflecting thoughts that are in the one mind. This does not mean that what he is saying is correct at the level of form. It means that it is always a perfect reflection of thought within the one mind. It cannot be anything else.

If the thought our brother is reflecting is ego gibberish, it does not mean that he is wrong. Those thoughts are within the one mind and he is reflecting them correctly. However, since it is the reflection of meaninglessness, it does not require correction. In order to correct meaninglessness, we would first have to give it meaning. That would be an error of listening to ego within our own mind.

When we listen to the Holy Spirit, we see our brother as he truly is. We see there is no error in him. There is only perfection.

What is most helpful for me now?

Question

: What is most helpful for me now?

Answer

Riding the Bullet ipod

: Forget about the world. Forget about illusions. Focus the mind on what it believes, and tell the mind its false beliefs are not true. One-by-one, look at them and whisper in love, “That belief is not true.”

You are the teacher of yourself. What you choose to accept, you teach. Now, most of what you accept is not true.

Everything that is false must be let go. In order to let it go, you must be willing to see it as not true. You must look at what you believe and deny it.

This is different than the ego’s denial, and the difference is critical.

The ego’s denial is to not look at

that which you fear, because you believe it is true. To willingly look at it and deny it is to teach that it is not true, and therefore, it cannot be fearful.

When I tell you to forget about the world and forget about illusions, I am not asking you to deny them as fearful. I am asking you to accept that they are not real and to let go of anything . . . every thought Mosquito the Rapist aka Bloodlust ipod The Lizzie McGuire Movie full movie . . . that would teach you otherwise.

This takes mind concentration, but it is not thinking. It is observing. This takes discernment, but it is not judgment. It is not an action you take alone. It is one you take with Me in peaceful and purposeful determination to see.

Now, let’s begin.

Make it all the same

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

This thought is on my mind:

It is helpful to see every thought and image as the same.

The Ultimate Gift ipod
What does this mean?

It means that it is helpful to see every thought and every image as coming from my mind.

When I say that it is helpful to see every thought and every image as coming from my mind, I am not talking about the mind of Modesty Blaise dvdrip Regina. For even the thought of Regina comes from the mind that I am.

How is it helpful to see every thought and every image as coming from my mind?

If I believe that thoughts and images are independent of my mind, I do not know how to react. I may feel as if I am victim to what I think and see. I will believe that I am at effect instead of at cause.

But when I remember that every thought and every image is the same because it comes from my mind, I remember what source is and I remember what source can do. Source can look at the thoughts and images it has made, and it can decide how it will see.

From this place of remembering that I am source, I can look at an image of attack and choose to see that it is not attack. It is a thought in my mind. In this seeing, the thought of attack is erased, for it is not attack . . . it is simply an idea in my mind.

From this place of remembering that I am source, I can truly look at the choices I have made, and I can choose to be free from past choices returned to my view by seeing they are all within my mind.

So, this thought is on my mind:

It is helpful to see every thought and image as the same.

This thought reminds me of what I am, and it reminds me that it is always my choice, each and every step of the way. The choice is always there, in every thought and every image. Will I choose to remember who I am or will I choose, once again, to forget?

The choice is always mine, because I am the one that chooses. A Life Less Ordinary video

Detachment is the way to joining

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

I went through a strong period of resistance yesterday afternoon. In time, it was fairly short. But I assure you, it was no fun at all. I turned to Spirit for help. Here is the conversation we had, along with some commentary regarding what I learned through this conversation.

Question: Please help me. I feel blocked. I want the blockage cleared, but I don’t know how to break free. I need you now.

Answer: You want freedom, but you are holding onto suffering by denying all that you are . . . by trying to reject parts of you. You want very much to be separate and alone, and this is not your answer. You are looking in the wrong direction. It is not through separation that you are joined. It is through joining that you are joined.

(It became clear right away that Spirit is not talking to Regina. It is talking to the mind that is the Son of God.) Jump! video

Relax into observer. In trying to be alone, you resist all that you experience. Let go of resisting and watch it. Don’t see it as you, but as not you. Detachment is the way to joining.

Question: I don’t understand. This seems to be different than trying to see it all as coming from my mind.

(I had been given a thought for the day, which was, “It is helpful to see all thoughts and images as the same.” I understood that this thought meant I am to see it all as coming from my mind.) Toy Story 2 psp The Lizzie McGuire Movie dvdrip

Answer: You are not your thoughts. You are the thinker of your thoughts. To see this, you must detach from your thoughts. By identifying with them, you think they are you. This is making yourself small. By detaching from them, you see they come from you, but are not you. This is the knowing that sets you free.

(Again, it is clear that the Holy Spirit is not speaking to Regina but to the mind that is the Son of God. It is reminding the mind, “You are the thinker of your thoughts.” As I let this sink in, I realized that everything that we resist, we resist because the mind identifies with it. The mind thinks it is the guilt, unworthiness, fear and hatred that it experiences, and so it resists these things. The world was made through the desire to resist or deny the thoughts the mind thought it had become. At a level beyond Regina‘s conscious awareness, I think I am everything that is the opposite of heaven. And this is why the Holy Spirit said, “By identifying with [your thoughts], you think they are you. This is making yourself small. By detaching from them, you see they come from you, but are not you.”)

Question: How do I be within my thoughts (while I seem to be in a world), while also learning to detach?

Answer: Relax. Do not take anything seriously. See it all as a game. Do as you want and do not judge yourself. This is detaching. It may seem to be withdrawing, but it is learning proper perspective. Once your perspective has shifted, you will interact within your thoughts effortlessly. Until your perspective has shifted, there will be effort whenever you are identifying with a thought as meaningful. Modesty Blaise movie download

Question: So I pull away in order to join?

Answer: You are pulling away from what you think it is in order to learn what it really is.

(Holy Spirit is asking me to let go of everything that I perceive as important within the world. This turns the fear up a notch and increases the need to go within and rest the mind. Letting go becomes the only focus, as letting go is seen to be the same as detaching. We must let go or detach, because we are identified with. We must let go of the identification with that which we aren’t, in order to accept that which we are. This is seeing forgiveness from yet another angle, but it is still all the same. We are asked to keep moving forward by letting go until there is nothing else to hold onto. Forgiveness is our only function. My happiness and my function are one.

One final note: The pulling away is not necessarily a pulling away in form, although that may be the decision I make at times. Pulling away means pulling away within the mind. It literally means, let go of seeing it as real and meaningful.)
