In the past few weeks we have been learning and discussing the lessons the Holy Spirit teaches us.  The goal of these lessons is to reverse the thought systems we have taught ourselves and return to our natural thought system we share with God.  We are returning to the awareness of who we really are.  We are so attached to the way we have been thinking that it brings great conflict to our minds as we begin this change.  Spirit asks us to recognize this conflict and bear with it for just awhile as we undergo the shift in thought systems that must occur. We have decided we want to live and experience peace of mind in our lives.  We want this shift ad Spirit will lead us there if we allow It.

 

The third lesson Spirit guides us in is, Be Vigilant for God and God’s Realm.  God’s Realm is Heaven, or the Mind of God.  The thought system Spirit is guiding us toward is the Mind of God, or the higher thought system.  This is the thought system we were given by God in our creation, but we have turned our minds elsewhere and made up a lower thought system based on our belief that we are separate.  Our fundamental belief in who we are is the key to realizing and being aware of our true nature and being.  We say we want to have peace, so we must get peace.  Spirit teaches us in the first two lessons we must give peace to have it and that we must teach peace to learn it.  In this third lesson, Spirit asks us to be vigilant for God and God’s Realm; in other words, peace.  Being vigilant for anything implies it is already there and we simply be alert and vigilant to its presence.  We are already peace.  Peace is created in us in our creation.  Spirit asks us to now begin being aware of peace within and around us.  Peace is already in our mind and so we need look no further than our true being to become aware of it.

 

We shift our belief in who we are.  We begin to believe we are peace.  We begin to believe we are the One Holy Child of God.  We begin to believe that we are the Higher Holy Spirit Self we are rather that the separate limited self we have come to believe we are.  We cannot be both of these selves.  They contradict each other.  We are either limited or limitless.  We are separate and on our own, or we are One with God and each other.  We are peace or we are chaos.  Which would anyone choose in their right mind?  The choice to see ourselves as separate was simply a mistaken belief.  The truth never went away.  We never ceased being the One creation of God as we are created.  The mistaken thought can be changed.  Spirit is within us to guide us in changing what we believe about ourselves and who we are.  Be willing to allow Spirit to guide you in this journey.  It is a journey without distance.  It is a journey that is as difficult or as easy as we make it.  Today, be vigilant for God, God’s Realm, and Peace.  It is within each One of us and guides us to the awareness of who we really are.  Be Peace today.
