Be quiet for just a moment. Be still for just a moment. In that moment all that is past or future falls away and we are in the present moment, the now. Spirit has been vigilant in watching and waiting for this moment. This is the moment when what is real and true surfaces. In this moment the miracle comes, for our minds open to the remembrance of the Divine within, to God. In this moment do we experience the Ahhh, the knowing we are home once again. It brings peace to our soul and our mind. It reminds us that we are now and have always been One with God. And as we relax into this stillness, our miracle is extended to all. In that instant our miracle, our healing, becomes everyone’s healing, everyone’s miracle.

All is truly sacred in this instant. It is the holy instant. Our thinking un-tilts, it rights itself without our having to do anything but be still. What a gift this is. What a blessing this is. Enjoy this fully. Drink it in and let it permeate your whole being. Feel it in your bones. This is who we really are, always have been, and always will be. Ion this moment we have glimpsed the correction of our perceiving. We have seen the face of Christ shining from everyone we see. The innocence and beauty of the real world eclipses all we thought we had ever seen, but perceived incorrectly.

Here is our present memory. Here is the memory of God, the Divine Self we are. Our memories of the past hold nothing in the presence of the memory of the Divine. All fear is gone. All thoughts of separateness are gone. Fear’s purpose was to distract us from the remembrance of God, but in this quiet moment we see there was nothing to fear, ever. The illusion of fear, the illusion of separation is gone in the stillness of the present moment. The stillness itself speaks so confidently, so boldly that no fear remains to distract us from what we have remembered. Relax into the stillness and let it wash over you. It is nothing but the extension of God, sacred and innocent. It is Heaven.

Have no fear. God never leaves us stranded; glimpsing a reality we cannot get to. All we fear is false, for we are nothing less than an extension of God, inseparable from God, and One with God for eternity. Simply glimpse eternity and we are there. The awareness of who we really are returns to our mind and thus extends to the mind of all creation. Be still, just for a moment and listen. It will not fail you, Stillness speaks. And it speaks of Divine love and peace. Be still for just a moment and know we are God.

In a separated state of mind we cannot recognize the Truth about ourselves and who we really are. Separation and Oneness are incongruous. The two ideas cannot coexist in the mind. Therefore we are either in a state of separated mind or a state of Oneness mind. It is our choice which state of mind we are in at this or any moment. So at any given moment we choose whether to conceal from ourselves and others the Truth about ourselves, or not. What a mad insane choice this is.

The Truth about us is that we are always One with God and all Creation. That is unchangeable. But we do choose which state of mind we are in at any moment. And we often choose separation. How we think is evidence of what state or mind is in. Do we experience fear, hate, anger, guilt, anxiousness, loneliness, or frustration? These are all experiences of a mind’s state of separation. Yet within us is the capacity to experience peace, love, compassion, and joy.

Within us is the knowledge of who we really are, buried deep behind all the barriers we have placed between our state of mind and the awareness of our true Self. Spirit holds deep within us the awareness of the Truth about ourselves. Yet we are so invested in our concept of our past that we fail to see that Truth shining right before our very eyes. We tend to see our past experiences as the cause of our lives and so find ourselves helpless to do anything about where we are now. But Spirit holds for us the true cause of our state of mind, the thoughts we can change about our past and begin to see that our past is the effect rather than the cause of our state of mind.

Spirit holds for us the ancient memory of a true Cause, and unchangeable Cause deep within our true being and the Mind of God of which we are One. In a moment when we allow ourselves to become still and quiet Spirit rises to our awareness and gives us a new idea, a new thought, that resonates with the Truth in us. We find peace and joy washing through us and the remembering of who we really are. All we have carried with us begins to drop away and new meaning comes to that which we allow Spirit to give us a new meaning. All this is part of Spirit’s leading us into the miracle, the healing, the correction of our perception guided by the Divine within all of us. Be still for a moment. In the stillness allow Spirit to show us a /new perception, a new vision. And let the awareness of who we really are wash over and through you. In this moment Heaven is.

At this very moment we have all we need. We have no need to learn, do, or remedy anything. We are complete as a whole creation of God. Nothing can ever change a creation of God, so we remain as God created us. What is needed now is unlearning, undoing, remembering. We have done so much and learned so much that has blocked our minds from the awareness of who we really are, from the awareness that we are a holy creation of God, innocent and unchangeable as our true state of being. We have just focused on a mistaken idea that we could be anything not a part of the Divine.

We have used memory to focus on our ideas about the past. We carry with us in our mind every thought and idea about every experience and feeling we have ever had. We have convinced ourselves that those ideas about our past are true; we actually believe them. All our thoughts and ideas we believe so true are really perceptions. Rather than actual truth, they are merely perceptions; our best attempt to understand our experiences outside the Mind of God where we have convinced ourselves we are. Memory is our perception of our past that we carry with us into the present and believe to be the absolute truth. But what we remember, we need to recognize what it is; merely a perception made up by our minds and believed to be true.

But memory has a higher purpose, as does perception and all else we have made up. Spirit has been given to us to help us see differently, to see more clearly, to perceive more correctly. As we let Spirit guide our mind we find Sprit giving us new ideas and thoughts about our memories. They become learning tools used by Spirit to unlearn what we have learned that is untrue. We can allow Spirit to show us what is real and true ad what is an illusion or a mistaken thought separated form God and our own Divine state of being. The miracle we experience is the healing of our thoughts and ideas, the recognition of what is true and real and the willingness to let go of thoughts that are not real. We already have all knowledge there is for we are One with God. Our mistake is the belief in the thought that we are not One with God.

Our mistaken thoughts and ideas take many forms. Yet, the one fix, the one correction the Holy Spirit holds ready for us to accept is applicable to every form if incorrect thought or perception we may hold. We may need to let Spirit apply this lesson in many circumstances until we finally realize that there is only one error in our thinking. Spirit is patient with us and continues to apply the correction to each error until we begin to understand that is there is only one mistake. So we unlearn ad unlearn and unlearn until we finally realize what we must unlearn and accept that healing and miracle in its entirety. Because we are attached to our memory of the past, we have the opportunity now to remember now, to remember the present, for the present is where have always been, but for a while did not realize it or recognize it. There is no time like now to remember the now. Let it be so.
