Our wholeness is beyond question. Our wholeness is a certainty, it is our true state of being. We are created Whole and Divine. Nothing can change, destroy, or deny this. Our true home where we exist is the realm of Heaven. Its condition and ours is peace. Our true Mind, the Mind of God, is in peace and joy, for no other state of mind is possible. Though it is impossible to not be in our true mind, we have found a way using the creative power if our mind to believe we are something else, something separate. Though it is impossible to be something separate from the whole, we have believed we can wall off a tiny corner of our mind and believe we are that corner we believe is separate. As long as we believe we are that tiny walled off corner, we are blind to the reality of who we really are. And we are unaware of our wholeness.
The three lessons of Spirit we have been discussing are the steps to changing our belief about who we are. We have spent a lifetime building and reinforcing our mistaken beliefs about who we are. Those beliefs are deeply embedded in our walled off or split mind. Because these beliefs are so deeply held, we experience fear, anxiety, and a multitude of other emotions rather than the peace and joy that is our true state of mind. Spirit’s lessons take us step by step patiently and lovingly to a shift in thinking and a shift in our belief system that guides us to an opening awareness of who we really are. There are ups and downs, successes and mistakes along the journey, but Spirit quietly and gently guides our mind to a higher and higher level. We end up turning many of our held beliefs about ourselves on their heads, but Spirit guides us each and every step of the way.
The first lesson Spirit guides us in is that to have, give all to all. What is real is completely shared by all, the whole of creation. All is shared and cannot be divided. To have peace and joy, we must give peace and joy to all because it is always shared. The second lesson Spirit guides us in is that to have peace and joy, we must teach peace and joy to learn peace and joy. What we teach we learn and what we learn we teach. Inevitably, what we believe about ourselves is what others see in us and so that is what we teach. This is the school of life; we teach by example. There is no more productive teaching method. The third lesson Spirit teaches us is to be vigilant for God and the Realm of Heaven, our true home. This is the process of shifting our belief system. The shift we are making is our belief about who we are. Our walled off corner of our mind we believe is separate is deeply embedded in our belief system. We want to change that belief, but that old belief that “we are separate” will keep coming up until we believe more that we are whole and One rather than separate. To keep this vigilance for the belief that we are whole and One takes effort as long as the old belief is still held. But as the old belief fades away, the effort needed to maintain this vigilance for God and the awareness of who we really are will lessen. The truth is that nothing can shake the truth about who we really are. So take the first step and ask Spirit for guidance in these lessons. We are never alone on this journey. Spirit guides us every moment of every hour. The destination on this journey is inevitable. We can only delay our arrival and be miserable in the delaying. Walk with Spirit in these lessons and be the peace and joy you really are.
