Holy Spirit: Trust. Trust is always key. To hold onto trust is everything, because trust is the manifestation of the knowledge of your love combined with your knowingness that love seen as love is evidence of all that is truly real.

There is nothing to fear in the world. There is nothing in the world to fear at all. But when you choose the idea of fear, you choose the ripples of fear or the experience of fear. The intensity of the experience is directly linked to the intensity of your choice. The more strongly you choose fear, the stronger the experience. The more consistently you choose fear, the more consistent the experience. But if you allow the choice for fear to fade by strongly and consistently choosing to trust…well, your experience will come from that. And the intensity and consistency of the miracles that come from your choice will amaze you. And you will fall more deeply in love with everything as Me, which is the truth of you.

You love the idea of love, and you enjoy the knowledge of happiness. This is great. When you are attracted by love and knowledge of your own happiness, you will be more consistent in your choice for them. Since experience always comes from choice, you will be most satisfied with experience that comes from the knowledge of your consistent choice for what you truly want.

The energy of my message feels lower to you now, because you have chosen a lower energy by remembering times that choice seems challenged…when you seem to be victim of the choices that are made by the mind. During these times it can seem difficult to will for what you want, and you can feel as if you are failing in the choice to have the experience of what you truly want.

Know that you never fail. This may seem unreal to you…like a concept only given in order to make you feel good…but it is not only a concept. It is total truth. You never fail. Failure is impossible for the Son of God.

In any moment you are experiencing exactly what you choose to experience. This is important for you to realize, because in resisting your current experience you resist you. Resistance, as I have told you, is fear. It is also hate. So even in resisting or judging your current feeling of hate, you are choosing a will for experience and experiencing exactly as you have willed for. The trick to shifting an experience that you do not like or are not enjoying to another experience that you know you’d prefer is to totally accept the current experience.

If that experience is hate, look at it. If it is doubt or fear, look at that. If you are projecting onto others or attacking yourself, stop and look at that. Stop, only for a moment, and look directly at the current experience as you have deemed it to be. And now say:

“This is how I feel now. These are the thoughts I see in my mind now. I accept this exactly as it is without wishing to extend it longer than it need be.”

Then stay in the energy of acceptance. The length and intensity of the current experience will last as long as it needs to last in order to match the intensity and consistency of your choice. Be willing for the experience to last. Be absolutely willing to continue with the experience of hate or doubt or fear as an experience, and remember that the experience is a mirage delivered through desire and the power of light.

Sometimes you want an immediate answer to your experience…an immediate shift from the experience of now to a feeling you know you would prefer. Knowing you prefer another experience is not wrong. It is this knowing that will cause you to choose the experiences you really want to have. But resisting the current experience by judging and struggling for an immediate answer or an immediate change is resistance, or judgment of you. That is continuing will for that which you realize you don’t want.

Acceptance is the answer…patient acceptance, along with the realization of the light. Do not be in a hurry. Be more willing for the long-term effect that you desire. Rest, accept and trust. Notice temptations to resist. And in that moment, choose again. This is truly the best way to help yourself. Through results, it teaches clearly who you are.

If you feel fear right now…fear of failing in what I ask, fear of not being good enough, or fear that the tiny mad idea is all that is true…do not resist the feeling you call fear. Do not resist the panic in your chest. Do not resist what you see in your mind. Accept it. Forget about future results right now. A mind projected into the future with fear as the filter will only know the experience of fear more.

Rest now with the experience of now, and accept it. See it as the light. See it as the experience that was desired. Do not go back and look for a thought. Just stay with now. Just stay with the experience. Focus only on acceptance. Keep the image of Helen and the scroll in mind. Keep the scroll rolled up so you do not look into the past or imagine the future. Stay here, right here in the throes of your experience. And accept, without judgment, the purity and perfection of the experience you are having now.

Question: There is an expectation of resistance in my mind. When the boiling hate or crippling fear comes upon the mind…it seems it will be impossible to do this then.

Holy Spirit: The expectation of resistance is fear. Don’t let it fool you into thinking it is knowledge. It is not. It is fear now projected forward so that the acceptance of now is resisted and resistance is denied. It is merely missing the point and practicing the creation of fear through the avoidance of noticing and accepting now.

Don’t miss now. Look at it, embrace it, accept it, and remember that you can only do that now. Make this your sole practice today.

Hello Dear Friends, About 3 days ago, I asked for help regarding the self-judgment I experience as I look in the eyes of another. Since then, Holy Spirit has been giving me help in a variety of ways. Here is a message that came this morning. Love, Regina

Holy Spirit: Letting go of judgment is a process of not being judged. Whenever you let another judge you, you have judged yourself. The reflection that you see in the eyes (or words) of another is merely the mirror of your own mind.

What does this mean at the level of practicality? This means you must be firm in your decision not to judge. As you make this decision in your mind, witnesses will step forth to offer you the opportunity to judge. Let them come, and remember why they are there. They have answered your call to help you learn your lesson. Bless them in love and gratitude as you turn down the opportunity they offer you. As you remain firm in your decision not to judge, you continuously teach yourself the lesson you have become willing to learn.

This afternoon, I went back to Holy Spirit with more questions about the flow. Here is our conversation:

Question:With the teaching of the flow in mind, I’d like to ask about choice. You said that in reality there is nothing to ‘choose between.’ There is only the flow. You also refer to ‘any option chosen within the flow.’ Are there options? Are there choices? And if there are, doesn’t that create room for error and judgment?

Answer: Right now you are slipping into seeing yourself as independent, and this will lead to judgment and a sense of unworthiness. It is not at all helpful to see yourself in this way, which is why I’ve asked you to remain focused on the flow.

There are no options separate from the flow, and you cannot make an independent decision at any time. Independence does not exist. But within the mind of reality there are multiple vibrational forces in affect. These vibrational forces are cause, which work together to create effect.

Question:Is there a choice in vibration?

Answer: There is always a choice in vibration, and the choice you make in vibration collides in unison with the totality of vibrational choice, and an option comes into being. This option is a decision, which will be carried out within experience unless a vibrational change occurs. If a vibrational change does occur, a new option will be presented and that is the option that will be experienced.

Vibrational energies can change in any moment, and the effect is change in flow. No change can occur in vibration without a change in effect.

Question: So at the level of practicality, how does this work?

Answer: A shift in perception or a shift in how you choose to experience an event is a shift in vibration. This creates a shift in flow. In other words, you and others will react differently based on a different vibrational flow.

Question: So my choice in perception affects others?

Answer: Yes, since there are no others. There is only flow. Everyone in every moment is acting at their vibrational level in perfect harmony with the total vibrational flow. Nothing is ever ‘out of whack.’ Each instant is completely perfect. Each action and each personality is a perfect outcome of the flow.

Question: So there really are no choices beyond a choice in perception, but a choice in perception affects the vibrational flow resulting in what seems to be a different option.

Answer: Yes, but the current option is the result of the current flow. A different option cannot truly exist now. Each moment is perfect. It cannot be different. It cannot be truly judged.

To learn this is to learn everything. Your only choice is your choice in how to see (or feel), but this choice has an effect on everything you experience. It cannot be different from this.

Two days ago Holy Spirit gave me two messages, which I shared with you. The second message was called ‘A Gift from your Brothers.’ It was about “the flow.”

I have found the message about the flow particularly helpful to me as I learn to let go of self-judgment and learn self/Self-love. Because I am finding it helpful, I went to Holy Spirit this morning and asked for more counsel regarding the flow. The following message was given:

The flow isn’t just an idea. It is a fact. It is reality. Nothing happens or is experienced outside the flow. Nothing is independent. Nothing can be done differently than how the flow would have it done. Options do not exist outside the reality of the flow, and any option chosen within the flow is of the flow. Being of the flow, it is of perfect oneness and made in complete agreement. In this way, it is beyond the possibility of judgment. All judgment imagines independent options from outside the flow.

The flow is most useful to you right now as a means of seeing clearly that you are only perfect love. You judge yourself whenever you feel you are less than perfect, when you feel you are not the perfect expression of love. A state that is not perfect love created through perfect oneness cannot exist. It is literally impossible. Every moment is perfection. You, as you perceive yourself, are the perfect result of every perfect moment.

Experience at the level of effect is only experience. It is not reality. But experience cannot be judged separate from reality since experience exists within the mind of reality. If experience is judged, reality is judged also. You cannot judge the creation without judging the creator. You cannot judge your self without judging the totality of your Self, which is God. Here lays the root of all fear.

With this said, focus on the flow. Keep your mind today, in every moment, aware of the flow that is. Want only the flow and you want only reality. Immerse yourself in gratitude within the awareness of the flow, and you accept yourself (and your brothers) as the echo of the reality that you are.

Hello Dear Friends,

The second message, called The Flow, is a message created to help us let go of the “killed” (victim or defense) aspect within the mind. Since the “killed” aspect has difficulty with self-love, this message teaches self-acceptance and oneness through the “killed” aspect’s natural love of “others.” This message broadens the view of self from that of seemingly separated individual to an expression of Oneness and Uninterrupted Flow. Seen this way, the seeming individual becomes a beautiful gift from all and to all. In each moment, it is exactly as all would have it be, perfect and changing through the Perfect Changelessness of our Oneness.

Message 1: The Power of Light

Light is a very real force. Darkness is not. Even that which seems to be darkness is shared or extended through light. This is important for you to remember, not as a trigger for guilt, but as a matter of realization. Only light is real, so only light is in affect at any time. This is your power. This is your strength. This is how you will find your freedom. You will discover your freedom right where it already is, in the power and strength of light.

Darkness is only light transmuted through a filter. It is nothing more than this. In this way, it is still light. It may seem that this knowledge isn’t helpful, but that is only true when this knowledge is viewed through the filter that isn’t light. Without the filter, the answer shines as light and it is this light that shines brighter than the attraction to the filter.

Begin to see all darkness as light. Notice the strength of darkness and realize this is the power of light. Hold to this idea as the grip of darkness seems to grow stronger and stronger on your mind. Remember that the true strength of this grip is the strength of light.

As you focus on the darkness as light, you begin to realize the force of your own power. You begin to feel the reality of your own strength. As you come to know yourself as strength and power, you begin to see yourself as you truly are. This is important, because then you are not seeing yourself as victim. Seeing yourself as victim is a lie and it is this lie that keeps you feeling trapped. You must unlearn this lie by looking directly at what you are, acknowledging your strength in realization and gratitude and honesty. See the darkness as light and see clearly who you are.

The filter that transmutes the light to darkness is carefully constructed to hide the light, but hiding light is not stopping it. Hiding comes from the disguise. Light cannot be stopped. As you see the light…the force and strength of the light even as it is disguised as darkness…you begin to shift the focus of your mind. Shifting the focus from the filter and disguises of the filter to the strength and power of the light is the exact shift that undoes the filter. For believing that the light is darkness is the primary component that makes up the falseness of the filter. By undoing the primary component through focus, the idea of the filter must collapse.

Here is how you undo the filter through focus. It is simple, but it must be accomplished through you. It is your decision to see that leads you to put away the filter and step clearly into the light as the only way to see.

Here is how:

[When under attack] notice the current idea of darkness in the mind. Notice the intensity of the idea. Notice how it colors your vision, blocks your love and creates pain that you can hardly bear. Notice every aspect of its strength and shift your focus from the idea, from the thought, from the judgment to the strength. Look only at the strength and power that grips your mind now, and realize this is the strength and power of light. This, which you are feeling right now, is the complete undeniable strength of light transmuted through a filter of darkness. Feel yourself shift from the voices of the filter to full focus on the power of the light. Dive into the power by feeling with appreciation the absolute strength of what it is. Let go of everything but the realization of the power and know this power is light.

As you practice appreciating the power, your shift of focus will grow strong. You will use what seem to be attacks by the dark to realize only the strength and power of light. As you realize this strength, it will strengthen you. Your awareness of the power as light will expand in the mind. As it expands, any idea that the power is not you will die, for you will become the power and the strength. As the power and strength becomes in you and you become within the power and strength, the light shall become as an extension to your own arm. When you feel this extension, you will use it to extend the light to your whole body, to your heart and to your mind. As strength and power is seen as only light, only light shall be seen.

Strength and power remains as light and light is all there is to be seen, experienced and known. This is your freedom. This is your truth. This is what is happening in you now. You need only choose to see it to see that it is true. You are saved through seeing the beauty of that which you are.

Message 2: The Flow
The “killed” is an idea in the mind reinforced by your own willingness to believe in the “killer.” The “killer” is judgment. Belief in judgment is belief in a mirage, for judgment only sees what isn’t and judges it as true and unworthy. Even when judgment judges as beautiful, it chooses the perception of unworthy, for beautiful and unworthy are two sides of the same idea of judgment. This is the idea of duality and “choose between.”The idea of “choose between
‘is an exciting experience created out of illusion, for in reality there is nothing to “choose between.” There is only the flow.

The way to let go of the “killed” is to see only the flow, to feel only the flow and to desire to be only the flow. In desiring to be only the flow, you let go of the idea of being independent. You let go of the idea of “choose between” and you choose to only be. Choosing only to be is a great gift to your brothers, because the flow that you are comes from them, through you and is returned to them. By choosing to be the flow as you are, you choose to teach your brothers that their creation is beautiful. In choosing to teach this without judgment or duality, you choose to teach you what you truly are, not apart from your brothers, but in conjunction with them. This is a celebration of truth and joining that outlasts any idea that says something different can exist to “choose between.”

Be the love by being what you are as you are now. Allow it. Love it. See it as a gift from your brothers. In accepting this gift you accept the truth of you. In accepting you, you accept them as one with you.

Holy Spirit: There are two kinds of meditation. (You might say three if we include that which you call prayer, but even prayer can be put into the two categories of meditation so let’s stay with just two categories.)

One kind of meditation is listening to Me, which can also be called feeling Me or knowing Me. The other kind of meditation is creative meditation. One is total surrender; the other is utilizing the power of Self. Both kinds of meditation have a purpose. I would like to discuss the usefulness of each now.

Listening to Me is useful because it is not listening to ego. When you listen to Me or feel Me you listen to your right mind, which is the mind that knows what you are. Following the guidance of the right mind is always useful, especially when you are still confused about your truth. I recommend listening to Me at every opportunity now. Go into your heart and feel Me. It only takes a moment. Ask Me questions and expect the answer to appear. Let your heart’s desire be that you shall know Me, and you shall.

Creative meditation seems led by you. This may be a prayer where you ask for what you want, visualization or guided meditation designed to induce a specific effect. Creative meditation can be useful in that it teaches what you are, but it can also be used without teaching this lesson if you are totally unaware of what you are.

I recommend creative meditation used in conjunction with listening meditation. Start first by finding stillness and moving awareness into the heart. Seek nothing but to know Me, and I shall rise within your awareness. Once you are present with Me, let desire rise within you. Do not create the desire from your thinking. This is a time of stillness and listening. Let the desire rise from a place of rest. As desire rises, trust it is given from a place of guidance. Take that desire into creative meditation. You may pray for it or visualize it or feel gratitude for the gift you know is given. As you use creative meditation with listening, you are creating that which comes from the true desire of your heart.

Do not worry about the “rules” of creative meditation. Do not fear doing it wrong or miscreating. Simply trust that which is given during listening and remember it is from your right mind. Trust what comes when you are in the stillness, realizing your closeness to Me without the efforting of the thinking mind. Do not judge or question that which is given. Judgment may seem like reason, but it is ego. Stop with what is given. Trust what comes in the moment, and you shall see that where you place your trust is well-founded. You place your trust with knowing, which is beyond the judgment of the thinking mind.

In yesterday’s message, Spirit asked me to pick one or two experienced-based fears for healing. I was told to replace the image of fear in the mind with a new, joyful image, and I was told to play with the new images. The new images were given to me, but I found that I had trouble hodling to them in the mind. The fearful image is closer to my experience and came into the mind easily and repeatedly. The new images seemed distant and hard to hold in the mind. This morning I asked Spirit to teach me how to play joyfully with the new images. Here’s the answer to that request:

Be willing to let the mind rest on the image for only a moment if that is all that is restful, joyful and natural. See that moment as the tiny mustard seed. Love it for what it is, and it shall grow naturally into the tallest of garden plants, strong and blossoming in beauty.

Holy Spirit: What scares you at the level of experience? What idea do you fear the most? Pick one or two. It is not helpful to work on too many things at once, so pick one or two key fears and prepare to let go of those fears now.

Letting go of fear is conscious work. It will take vigilance and attention on your part. Vigilance and attention are an offspring of willingness, so it is especially helpful to focus on your willingness to heal your most common or most fearful fears.

The ego will try to block healing. It may tell you that you are guilty for picking fears that represent the level of the world. Let this obstacle go. I tell you, everything in the world is representative of a deeper fear in the mind. The leaf, or experience-level fear, is directly linked to its root. If you keep this in mind as you heal your most instinctive fears, you will also have confidence that you are healing the root. In this way, the entire plant is transformed and springs up through the soil anew.

As I have said, pick one or two strong fears. To heal these fears, we are going to give them special attention now. We do this by being willing in freedom and innocence to give this special attention, knowing the special attention is a stepping stone to total healing. Hold confidence in this thought.

First, be alert to chosen fears when they arise in the mind. Remember your desire to heal these fears now. Let go of the image in the mind that is fearful and replace it with another image or idea that brings you joy. You will know which image to replace the old image with. Do not doubt yourself or judge yourself for your selection. Instead, dwell joyfully on your newly selected image realizing that this image is a symbol for the healing of fear.

The healing of fear is all that you need now. When fear is healed, you will Know they Self without fear. In this knowledge are all things possible. In this knowledge is all joy possible.

See yourself as one in learning. You are picking one or two fears in order to learn, one step at a time, that there is nothing to fear. Be a good student. Focus on your key fears by dreaming joyfully about the image that replaces them. Be like a kid and play freely with the image. Be not concerned about the specific outcome. Know that the outcome will be perfect joy and freedom from fear. Know this deeply in your heart, trust yourself, trust your visioning and let go of your fear. Your rewards shall be great indeed.
