Question: Holy Spirit, what would you share with me today?

Answer: Be aware of the Light. Be silent, and be aware of the Light. Nothing else is needed right now. Put your full focus on the Light that is being birthed within you. Let it birth itself into full and complete Beingness within. Let it shine away anything that is not of it. Be only the Light, and only the Light shall be known.

Rest into surrender, which is the true desire of your heart.

The heart asks you to surrender. When you answer it, you feel that you are answering your Self. By surrendering to the heart, surrendering to what is and to what will be, you get below the thinking mind. You step into a state where the thinking mind cannot follow, because you step away from the state of duality, possibilities and problems into a flow of oneness, certainty of purpose and constant well-being. From the place of surrender, you only Are. From the place of purely being, the thinking mind cannot do, and so it cannot lead. This is why surrender is the path of relinquishing the ego. In full surrender, the ego isn’t. It is no where, because there is no state in which it can seem to be.

Full surrender is a moment-to-moment remembering that is brought about through trust. It is not relying on self, because the guidance of the Whole is trusted more. It is not wanting the interests of self, because the interests of the Whole are more wholly desired. It is recognizing that fragmented perception is not truth, so it is willing to surrender anything the fragment may perceive for the guidance of Wholeness.

Full surrender is letting go of the ego. This is what you truly want. Surrender the mind by going deep within the heart. Recognize the Self that you are with gladness. Find your Self through surrender. Meet up as one where one is all that is.

You find your strength in surrender, because Wholeness is the only strength there is.

Dear Friends, Someone with cancer has written to me asking for help. When I asked the Holy Spirit how to respond to the request for help, I was told to ask this question on behalf of this person: How do I let go of fear? So, I asked that question on this person’s behalf. The answer is given below for everyone. With Love, Regina

Question: How do I let go of fear?

Answer: Fear seems real because your mind believes it is real. It seems that its effects are real, which seems to generate more fear. But, neither fear nor its effects are real. You are real. This is what you need to accept as you strive to let go of fear.

Whenever you fear, you fear something. You fear something that you believe is an obstacle to your peace and joy. You believe something that is not of you has power over you, when you are giving it power through the acceptance of fear.

When you feel fear, I ask you to start by taking a deep breath. Take many deep breaths if that is helpful. Our purpose is to rest the mind from the thoughts that rattle it. You create the fear experience by enabling fear-thoughts, so we are reversing the process by resting the mind, which disables the rattling fear-thoughts.

When you feel the mind has settled, turn your mind to Me. You do this, not by thinking of Me as something separate from you, but by thinking of Me as your true desire, which is the deepest desire of the heart. As you get in touch with true desire, you get in touch with Me, for I am your true desire and your true desire is Me.

As your true desire wells up within your mind, you realize the only desire of the heart. As you realize this only desire, you remember there is nothing you want more than the consistent peace of God. As you remember there is nothing you want more than the consistent peace of God, you become willing to live every experience in order to clear the blocks to knowing the presence of peace always.

Now, with your true desire filling you up, look back at the circumstance you fear. This circumstance is a gift, an opportunity to let go of the fear that stands between you and consistent awareness of peace. All you want is to use the circumstance to release fear and know peace.

Hold My Hand within your mind by holding to your true desire. Let the fear rise up and pass you by without reaching out to cling to it. Imagine yourself in an exorcism, but keep your eyes fixed firmly on the Light, which is all that shall remain when the exorcism is complete.

When you find the mind rattled again by fear, you have slipped from releasing it to believing it again. That’s ok. It is an error that is easily corrected. You rest the mind through breathing again, and return yourself to the true desire that is Me.

Sometimes fear may seem to be insurmountable, but that is never true. It is only as insurmountable as your decision to tolerate it. As you take away the decision to trust fear by choosing to trust Me instead, it’s insurmountability collapses. It becomes only a matter of patience until all fear has been released.

Never is there darkness without end. Always, night dawns into a new day. Hold tightly to this thought as you release the fear that seems to keep you caught in the night.

Rejoice at the opportunity given you. It is a part of your true desire, for as you release the blocks to Love’s presence, Love’s presence shines more clearly in and through you, because in your truth, you are Love.

Question: Holy Spirit, I clear my mind of all the thoughts that I’ve been thinking. I don’t want any of them, since they pertain to matters that are ultimately unimportant and meaningless. I ask only to follow your instruction that I surrender and follow You in trust. That is all that has meaning now, and I know that in my heart. I put everything else aside and ask, what would you share with me now?

Answer: Your teaching on Grandeur verses Grandiosity is very important for you, because the commitment to humility is key now. For you can only serve Me fully through full humility, which is willingness to completely lay the self aside.

You had an experience this morning where you saw that Regina is an identity that is not of you. Regina , in those moments, seemed to be someone else. You could not identify with her. And you saw yourself identifying with someone else, but you decided to let that go also. Yet, you chose to keep the instructions I had given them both.

This is an example of looking beyond form, which is meaningless, to content, which is meaningful. In this case, you are seeing that you are no person, but you are a flow, and you are willing to surrender to the flow of which you are. You are willing to let go of the person, which has no meaning, and surrender fully to the flow in service to the All.

There are many things that you do not understand at a conscious level, of which you need not understand consciously. As this knowledge is needed, it will be given you, so that it may be very surprising sometimes to hear what you will say. Do not let this bother you. Do not judge it and find yourself wrong. Do not feel grand for finding such wisdom within. Remember your place, and you remain fully in the flow as I am.

Your job is follower, and at times it may look as if you lead, but never forget that you follow. Humility of mind is your greatest asset now. Remember to bow down for Me, and all that I have to give shall rise up within you.

You are a giver. You are never to keep for yourself, but always to pass on. In this way, you are a part of the flow. You are a conduit that allows the flow to continue by not attempting to stop or filter the flow. For this reason, all judgment must be laid aside now. Judgment filters the flow, which weakens it. You can be the full Light that is the flow by not taking from it through judgment.

I have no other instructions for you now except that you continue to practice surrender. Practice all that I ask you to practice. In this way, you are most helpful and most useful to Me.

Put aside all judgment. Seek only to surrender. Ask not to be you, but only to know Me. In this way, you know your Self fully.

Go now and practice with your every breath. Many surprises await you.

A message from Holy Spirit, given to me this morning:

It’s just a decision. It’s just a choice. There comes a time when you see it is nothing more difficult than this. Upon seeing this, you want to be sure to make the decision continually. There is still a decision within the mind that is the opposite of the decision you are making now, but you undo the previous decision by consistently choosing again now. In doing this, your will to choose again grows stronger so that your choices become more solid. As your choices become more solid, they form the foundation for what you see so that the choice does not seem to need to be made as often, because the choices you have made are giving you the world that you would see. (At this stage, right choosing seems automatic.)

Through all of this, it is important to keep your true desire firmly in mind at all times. All choices are made based on desire. To be more specific, choices are made based on active desire. If true desire is forgotten for a time and another desire seems foremost in your mind, you will inadvertently make choices based on that desire. As you make choices based on true desire in some cases and choices based on other desires in other cases, the world that you see will seem inconsistent. This is feedback upon your choices and evidence that you must hold tightly to your true desire always.

Know that choices do not always seem conscious. That is, you do not always know when you are making a choice or what it is that you are choosing. It is easier to monitor your desire than your choices, so pay close attention to the desire in your mind. Trust that choices are made based upon desire.

If you trust that choices are made based upon desire, and you monitor your desire closely, you can be sure that you are always choosing truly, even if you are not aware of your choices. It is all about desire, which some people may call intent.

Continually answer this question from the heart, and you lead yourself truly.

Question: Holy Spirit, what would you share with me today?

Answer: Continue to focus on surrender. This step is much more important than you realize, for only through surrender can you know the Wholeness of All You Are.

“You” and “I” are tricky words, because they seem to identify something. Something is always in comparison to something else, which implies duality. A part of surrendering is recognizing that “you” and “I” are synonymous. Any thought that would object to this idea is an idea of falseness within the mind. It is falseness we are letting go of.

The mind will tell you that letting go of falseness is a difficult and arduous process. This is not true. All it takes is a little willingness applied consistently in every situation. With practice and experience, the mind learns that surrender is not difficult. Surrender is then seen as easier and more desirable.

Seek out opportunities to surrender. Do not have expectations of yourself beyond the thought that you will take advantage of the opportunity to give over to Self and learn that Self answers easily. Each time you notice Self answering easily, be grateful for the ease and clarity in the answer. In this way, trust increases. As trust increases, so does willingness.

If a time arises that you seek guidance from Self, but you cannot hear or feel guidance, know that it is because fear is blocking the signal of guidance. Do not strain to hear guidance now, as strain pushes against fear, causing fear to fight harder. This results in a downward spiral that is not helpful to building trust.

When you cannot feel guidance, let that moment go. Say to yourself, “I cannot feel guidance now, but guidance is not absent. I trust that it will reveal itself as I let go of fear.” Then, do your best to let go of fear. Do not worry about reaching guidance. That is not the goal now. Letting go of fear is the goal. As the fear is let go, the guidance will arise. Hold to this thought in trust, and let go of the fear.

When there seems to be no fear and no guidance, it may be because you are asking the wrong question. This often occurs when you believe the answer must look a certain way. In this case, let go of the question. Ask only, “What guidance would you provide for me now?” When your mind is clear of all expectations and desired outcomes, guidance can shine clearly to show you the way you are to go now.

Guidance does come one step at a time. Let it reveal itself. Do not ask that it reveal more than it chooses to. To trust guidance as it is given is to trust your Self. To trust your Self is to walk steadily on the pathway Home.

Question: I want to judge my brother for the way he understands and practices A Course in Miracles. What is it that I need to see and release?

Answer: You fear that your brother is in denial. This is what you need to see:

When you look at your brother, you fear he must be wrong or you must be wrong, because your perception and practice seems different. You fear.

Question: Help me more, please.

Answer: You fear. This is what you need to see. When you look at your brother and you are tempted to judge, you are hiding from your fear. You are avoiding looking at it.

When you look at your brother and see your temptation to judge, realize that you want to judge because you fear. Then say to yourself, “I do not really want to judge. I want to turn my eyes from my brother and look at me. I want to see my fear. I want to look at this fear with the Holy Spirit and let it go. Then, I will be used to help my brother, if that is how it is to be. And if that is not how it is to be, I will be able to smile at the idea that I ever thought help was needed.”

Question: I feel tempted to judge this writing based on what others will say.

Answer: This is the same fear. You fear you are wrong when you listen to Me, but you are not wrong when you listen to Me. You are wrong when you do not listen to Me. You are wrong when you listen to voices other than Me.

Your brother is not separate from you. He is the same as you. Is it strange, then, that I may choose to help him through you if you make yourself available for that help?

First, you must make yourself available. This is why I ask you to focus on yourself. Then, all help that is given must come from Me. This is why I ask you to follow and not think for yourself.

Everything is perfect within the plan of Atonement, because I see perfectly. Trust in Me, and you trust perfectly as I am.

Question: Holy Spirit, what would you share with me today?

Answer: We have been speaking of surrender. You have an idea of how little you surrender now. You have learned to surrender in some situations, but you have not yet learned to surrender in all. We must take what you do in some and extend it to all. This will take great commitment on your part, for the ego is willing for anything except surrender.

I ask you to watch the ideas in your mind and where they come from. Many of the ideas seem helpful on the surface. You are sharing useful information and others are finding it useful. There is nothing wrong with that. Yet, one can become addicted to the spiritual path.

I once told you that this path you have chosen is the highest of all paths in the world. However, it is in the world. In order to awaken, you must choose to step off of this path with Me.

The ego wants you on the spiritual path. The spiritual path is a path of trying, seeking, discovering and sharing with others, all of which are actions in the world. It is not a path of Knowing and Being, because Knowing and Being cannot be found in action. Action may seem to be accomplished through one who is the embodiment of Knowing and Being, but that one is not acting. That one is following. Being is following, because following is joined, and joined is a part of the process of creation. Creation is never separate. It is a part Of and in full inclusion With. It is following, because following is never independent. Therefore, you prepare yourself for the pure act of creation by following one Voice within the world now.

The ego will put up great resistance to this request. The ego will tell you that complete following within the world is impossible, as some human matters cannot be left to Me. This is only resistance to full surrender. Full surrender is needed in order to know full oneness as I am.

Here is what you are to do:

Focus on your willingness for full surrender. Whenever you remember, turn a situation over to Me. Let go of all attachment to what is done or not done or how it may be done. Make the surrender complete within your mind. When you feel complete surrender within, what to do will rise up. Follow that. That is the wave of oneness, which is the wave you shall ride Home. Ride that wave, and look for it continually. In this way, you will experience the least amount of delay.

Do not think for yourself. Thinking for yourself is delay. Surrender all matters to Me until surrender is a matter of habit.

Question: Holy Spirit, what would you share with me today?

Answer: I ask you to remain focused on you.

I have you in service to others, but you can only serve them by remaining focused on you. If you forget to be focused on you, and you focus on them, you are accepting the thought of separation. In this way, you are helpful to no one, because you are teaching separation within the mind.

Continue to share that which I give to you to share, but let not the sharing be your focus. Let the listening, committing and practice be your focus now. Continue to focus on accepting the atonement in your mind. As you accept the correction and allow truer sight to be your way of seeing, you give sight throughout the mind. This is the only way to give. You can only give through mind by giving to mind that which mind truly desires.

Listen to yourself in every moment . . . to your true desire . . . and give only to that desire by giving to yourself. Everything else will fall into place through the miracle of the Self that you are.
