Lesson 5: I am never upset for the reason I think.

What does this lesson mean to me?

Any form of upset, that may "show up" as fear, worry, depression, anxiety, anger, hatred, jealousy, boredom, stress, etc. are all the SAME and are all equally disturbing to my peace of mind. I have come from a place of perfect peace and I am just like what I have come from. So therefore I am like God - perfectly peaceful now and for eternity. When I see myself or perceive myself as anything other than being at peace I am seeing wrongly and thinking with the ego. I do not want to hold onto these thoughts of fear, sadness, depression, anxiety, worry, anger, hatred, jealousy, boredome, etc. I do not want their seeming effects in my life because they do not represent who I really am. I want the peace of God.

How can I apply this to my life?

In order to truly experience peace - the Peace of God - I must let these thoughts go by first acknowledging them and then by giving them to the Holy Spirit. So today I acknowledge all of those negative feelings and negative thoughts that I have - the ones that make me feel "upset". I release them to Him who can heal my mind. I also release all of my thoughts to him, the ones that I label as "good" and the ones that I label as "bad". I give it all to Him who heals my mind - who helps me to see and remember that All is Well and all has always been well. I exist in the Heart/Mind of God -- the Heart/Mind of Love!

Holy Spirits Message to Me:

Your right mind is always perfectly aligned with Gods thoughts of Love because your right mind is God. I can help you to see truly, but only when you allow me. You are on a path of gentle awakening and I am always here. I am always with you. I will never leave you. Reach out to me and I will gladly take away those fears, which are nothing and transform your mind into a space of peaceful tranquility. I Love You for Love is who We are.

My message to Holy Spirit:

Thank you so much Holy Spirit. A space of peaceful tranquility sounds perfect to me! That is what I want. May I remember my goal today. Amen.
