We often feel that life is aimless, that it is random, or that it has no direction. We think life “happens” so to speak. But we have a guide at our disposal. But this guide can only provide us with direction if we allow it to. We are so accustomed to doing it all on our own, or alternatively just giving up. Sometimes we charge through our life, focused on what we think is the prize. Sometimes we just give in and let fall what may fall. Neither of these scenarios need be our reality. A change in our focus has an amazing power to make a difference. We already have the guide we need. This guide is within us. God placed it there when we believed in the idea of separation. It is there patiently waiting for us to recognize it and ask for its guidance.
This guide within our minds is the Holy Spirit. We can call it Spirit if you wish. Spirit is the Voce for God. Spirit is all knowing in the Oneness of Heaven, and in the perception of the world we think we see. Spirit is the bridge between our perceived minds, separation, and the Oneness and perfect Mind of God. In the Mind of God there is no limitation, no lack, no pain, and no blame or guilt. All that is perceived by our mind is separate from the Mind of God. We chose to hold allegiance to the separated mind we think we are. And we are often loath to let go of our allegiance to it. But Spirit holds the memory of our true mind, the mind that is one with the Mind of God. That one mind, that shared knowing of truth, has simply been blocked from our awareness by our choice to perceive ourselves separate from our true nature. If we remembered our true nature we would never stay in the choice of separation for an instant. We have blocked our awareness that completely.
Spirit is within us. It is sounding the Call to Joy. Joyfulness is our true nature. Resting in God is our true nature. Our true calling in this world we perceive is to release it to Spirit and allow Spirit to guide us in our choosing. Where does our devotion lie? Is our devotion to Spirit, to God, or is it to the world and life we have perceived on our own? No matter what lessons we have to learn, Spirit will guide us to and through them. Each of them will be the perfect and most efficient lesson for us. Rather than bumbling around blindly on our own through our perceived journey, wouldn’t it make sense to ask the perfect guide to guide us on our journey?
No matter where we’ve been, no matter what mistakes we’ve made, no matter how abused we think we have been on the way, Sprit is there holding out its loving comfort and guidance calling us to be just a little willing to shift our devotion. Devotion to separation will gain us only separation and will never move us to the full joy of Spirit. Shift your devotion to the Guide within, Spirit, and begin to see the light that shines deep within you. Begin to allow it to shine from deep within you to light the way for others. We are truly the light of the world. Joining with Spirit is the plan God has for us to share with each other and discover the awareness of the truth about who we really are. Invite Spirit to be your guide. Place your devotion at the altar of Spirit within you and let your light shine brightly.
