If you react to the world as you see it, you reinforce the reality of that which you fear and you will engage in the projection
without releasing the true cause of the fear.   The world as you see it- including all forms of fear-are illusions witnessing to an
illusion of your self.  Do not be deceived by its testimony or by what it is trying to prove.  
Remember you are a part of Love Itself.  Will to know you are Love by seeing love in all things.
If you are seeing a darkened world and doubt the Light exists- do not ask those who are in the dark if there is Light. Ask Me-
Who Knows only Light, how to experience it. Let's begin by diagnosing the problem. You suffer from blindness. Blindness is a
condition caused by guilt and the fear of God. It is a 'self'-created condition. There is light everywhere, but you are blind to it.
So now you need a cure. The remedy is to remove the logs of guilt and fear from your eye with drops of holiness.  
Say this as many times as you can remember:
"God has not changed His mind about me. I bless myself with holiness and I bless the world."
  
When you arrive at a place in your spiritual journey when you are willing to accept that nothing in this world will save you
from suffering and you seek salvation through spiritual truth- remember this: When you ask for truth to set you free, It does
not come in and slay the monster that you are afraid of. Truth reveals that there is no monster except in dreams, and dreams
of fear are not true.  Truth reveals that you are safe because the Light of God is everywhere. What darkness can remain when
the light is turned on?  When a fearful image appears; do not be deceived by an illusion appearing real. Let these words
resonate deep in your heart and become the truth that you live by; “God reigns forever, and His laws alone prevail upon me
and upon the world. His Love remains the only thing there is. Fear is illusion, for I am like Him.” (M.18.3:10-12)  
Stop- Look-and Listen   
In the dark of the night everything looks frightening.  When you turn on the Light, the shadows disappear and everything looks
harmless again. You cannot turn on the Light by
analyzing the darkness.  What is seen without Vision is meaningless. STOP
trying to figure out what it all means. LOOK not with your body’s eyes-but with your spiritual eye.  LISTEN in stillness, to
the Voice for God.  He is the Light in your mind.
Rest in the Light and all your darkened thoughts, which made the shadows, will disappear.  
What you think and believe within, you will see and hear without.
Notice this.  The world is an echo of your mind.   
Looking at this world; fear, danger, pain and death contradict God’s love, peace and eternal nature. Have we ever tried to
resolve this contradiction by accepting that what we hold up as the opposite of God does not actually exist? We see a
contradiction only because we believe the opposite of God has reality.  Nothing exists outside of God’s Reality and God’s
Love.  Let me remember that “behind each illusion of despair, there is reality and there is God.”
Innocence is our only need. The guilty believe they are undeserving of anything good. The innocent expect only good to come
to them and are grateful to the Father for What He is and what they are as His Creations.  Seek not to find your innocence by
any methods offered in this world. Innocence is not earned. Innocence is who you are.  Seek only to know thyself and all your
brothers as innocent and Holy Spirit will give you the light to see.  
The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. All thoughts you think are untrue and you are not seeing what IS
there. Once you realize you are insane and blind, you have no choice but to be led by the Guide appointed to you by God. He
will restore your sight and right your mind simply by you asking Him to do so.  In every moment today, let me remember to
ask. “Holy Spirit, what does this mean? How should I see this? How should I think of this?  Give me Your Strength, Your
thoughts and Your perception to be shared through me.” Amen.
We are free and holy Sons of God. We are not bound to any laws of this world. We are bound only by our beliefs. Yet even
the beliefs within our mind do not alter the truth, for the Light that we are is never dimmed or changed by the beliefs that
surround it - they only block the Light from expression.  To remember this is the most precious gift we can offer each other.
We remember by asking for Holy Spirit’s perception and strength in every encounter.  We will receive in direct proportion
to our wanting only that.
Your Oneness with God is already true. How will you learn of this? Accept the power of God within you. Do not cut
yourself off from this power to keep 'you' and the world you made. It is time to bring God into your midst and become aware
of His Love. Holy Spirit, You are from my Father. He cares for me through You. Through You, I will open to accept these
words as the truth: "Son, thou art with me and all that I have is thine." In the past I have believed something else. I am thankful
there is a way to change what I believe. I am grateful for all the symbols that remind me of this truth."

To truly love we must melt into God Consciousness with no thought of the personal i. This love does not discriminate or
exclude. It does not judge or correct errors. It shines on the Beloved and reveals a Being of pure love. As many times as I can
remember, I will go within and join with this love; feel it, sense it, let it fill up my mind. This will give me a happy day because I
will see this love everywhere I go.
The undesirable traits of the ego seen in someone else seem to give me a way to keep the ego as my identity without owning
the bad parts.   But this is a lie. I cannot disown parts of my mind, place them outside of me and be free. You are my
reflection. We are either insane together or in Heaven together.  We are either guilty together or innocent together. Let
me look once again upon you with faith, love and tenderness. My desire to see your True Self is all I need for Sight to be
restored. I am grateful to you for revealing to me What I am.
If you are asking for change to happen to the self or the world, than you are trying to change a false self or a world which is
not there and not who you are. If what you see and experience troubles you, it is because you believe that this illusory self is
who you are and the imagined world is where you are.  Do not resist what you see.  But also, do not accept what you see as
the truth. Withdraw belief from the world you see and place your faith in the unseen. Tell yourself that only truth is true- all
else is a lie and rest and trust in Holy Spirit Who clearly sees what still remains invisible to you.  What He sees and
understands will surely bring peace to your troubled mind.
When seeing enemies attack or in the face of apparent danger, put your faith and trust in Me and not in the world you see. In
God’s Kingdom there cannot exist an opposite to Love. Remember that thoughts seem to have power in that they appear to
make something real, but it is just a mirage- a mental image, made from a thought. This is a mistaken thought in your holy
mind. Ask for forgiveness of this thought that God’s Holy Son might be at peace.
The goal of a spiritual journey is the complete letting go of the false self, so the True Self can be known once again. The goal is
reached when there is no longer “you” but rather a pure expression of the Thought of God. Why add more titles or roles,
such as teacher, student, minister, mother, daughter to define ‘you’ when you will only have to let them go to reach your goal?
Instead, seek to empty your mind of
all things that define you and assign a different purpose to everything in this world.  If you
have a title or play a role, give it the purpose of expressing the Divine instead of defining who you are.  The body then
becomes a vehicle to express God, the role you play- a channel through which God reaches to Itself and actions you take
become the moving demonstration of Divine Love.  
Although we have learned that what we see and experience is an effect of our beliefs, we still believe that errors in the mind
can have real effects and therefore do real damage. If this were true than the guilt would be true and there would be no way
back to innocence.  Be grateful that what you see as a ‘real’ effect is only a dream. The belief is untrue
and the effect is unreal.
What you are seeing or about to react to is fantasy imagined for the purpose of making a wish come true. As a Son of God,
you can change your wish.  Trust in Me and have faith.
Close your eyes and lift your awareness above the scene to the mind that contains the scene.
See the thought or mental image as nothing.  Bring it to the Light and rest in peace.  
Easter Prayer
Our hearts are filled with love and gratitude for our brother Jesus, who walked the way to truth by withdrawing belief in all
that was untrue. Each illusion has been overcome through our brother Jesus, and his accomplishment is ours.  
This is our Easter time and we would keep it holy by remembering....
the song of Easter is the glad refrain the Son of God was never crucified;
the risen Christ is a symbol of the Son of God's forgiveness on ourselves- the sign that we are healed and whole;
and with our identification as the Christ, our minds are resurrected from dreams of death into eternal Life.
This Easter we lift up our eyes , not in fear, but in faith, for vision contains no illusions but only the sight of Heaven, the home
we share in gentleness and peace, as One.  (Ref.T.20.I,II)

This world is a wish for Heaven to be different than it is. Is this what you want? No. I want Heaven restored to my awareness.
I want to experience God, my Father and feel His loving embrace. I want truth to reign- not illusions. I, the Dreamer, will put
down these children’s toys of sin and guilt and dream of truth instead. Without my dreams of fear interfering, I trust through
Christ’s Vision, to see all things as they truly are. It is through this healed perception that I will awaken.
My brother, I remember our promise to our Father to be forever one and like Him.
You are not the dream you made nor am I. The body is but a dream and is nothing. This is an illusion of separation. Now I
make a new agreement with you; that you be one with me and not apart. There is no gap between my mind and yours. Let's
raise our awareness above the dream figures to the Light of God where the truth of us remains untouched and undisturbed
and forever one. And let us rest in peace. Amen (Ref. T.28.IV)
A miracle is the restoration of truth within the mind of the perceiver. The change in form that may take place is an outside
demonstration of what has happened in the mind.  To the mind that is healed, the change in form is nonessential, because it is
already illuminated with the Light of God. For others who witness the change in form, they can be grateful for the message
this change brings; God is only Love, not fear and it is safe to join with truth and let the false go.
Instead of making judgments or placing meaning on behaviors, events or situations, we must learn to see it as meaningless.
Anything that is not a reflection of love is meaningless because it has nothing whatsoever to do with the truth.   So why
continue to judge or examine what dream figures do in a dream? Why spend time agreeing or disagreeing with what is
happening? Why like or dislike one illusion over another? Will this mental activity wake our holy mind from our nightmare?
The nightmare will transform to a happy dream when you accept only that which is true of all things and leave the rest,
unexamined, behind,
because it is false and therefore meaningless to you who are only seeking the truth.  Let your awareness
float past these meaningless displays of fear thoughts. Remember, God permeates all things, all events, and all forms. He is
there. Look for Him, experience Him; this will free our mind from dreaming that He is not.
                                “This is meaningless because it symbolizes a reality apart from God.
         I look past the meaningless and put my  attention on the meaningful. All I want
is to see God everywhere.”
As your mind looks on the world and wants to engage in what appears to be happening , stop and let this instant be used for
miracles instead. It only takes an instant to reestablish perfect sanity, perfect peace and perfect love for everyone if you are
willing to follow and listen to Holy Spirit. On behalf of you and your brothers, be willing to release the mind from its fearful
ideas and return it to the awareness of Love and shared holiness in this way:
Give willingness to have this be done by saying, "I
will that only truth be true. I will to not be deceived by pictures of guilt.
My physical eyes deceive me. I
will to look with spiritual sight and see it through the filter of Love."
Remember, the only meaningful prayer is forgiveness- to see what is really there. And the only meaningful question to ask is;
"What am I and how should I look upon Your Holy Son?"  When you pray and see in this way, miracles happen.
You are looking at an image and are very frightened by what you see. This image- made from thoughts- is a mirage and stands in
front of the truth. You need saving from it because it serves to keep truth hidden and without the reflection of truth, you will
not remember What you are. Like being in quicksand; you are trapped in a dream of your own making and every time you
struggle against it, you sink deeper into the muck.  Stop struggling and relax. You have been given a Helper to pull you out.

Holy Spirit is in your mind and His function is to awaken you from the dream. He holds in your mind, the awareness of its
complete unreality. He remembers for you, that this is not what you want or what you are. He protects your innocence and
purity and holiness by holding it apart from what you made.  Reach for Him today and let Him gently pull your mind out of the
muck of ego thoughts and dreams.   Let Him place you on solid ground and wrap you in the Light of truth.
Your outer world teaches you about your inner world; the condition that exists within your mind. With this understanding,
you can learn something from the outside world. There is nothing to gain or learn from the world other than this.  Look at
your relationships, your job, your emotions etc. in the same you would look at the dreams you have at night- they reflect the
content of your thoughts and beliefs.  What do you believe will save you? What do you believe you are? What do you believe
is true about others? Do you believe in sin? Do you believe in attack, unworthiness, or rejection? Look at your experiences in
the world and you will find the answers to these questions.  Once you discover your beliefs, bring them to Holy Spirit- and in
all sincerity, and with trust in your heart, let them go into the light. You no longer want what they bring because you are now a
lover of truth.  When you let go of what is making the dream, the dream begins to disappear and in its place you see and
experience Heaven.
It is darkest just before the dawn.
In your darkest moments on the path to the Light, do not be tempted to abandon your Guide-Who knows the way out of the
darkness. When fear rises and panic sets in; do not let your mind scatter into thoughts of how to find your own way to go- for
you will go frantically off the path and lose your way. SIT STILL and cling to Him Who was sent to save you from the dark. This
is the time for complete surrender and complete trust. Be quiet in your faith in Him Who loves you and would provide you
with everything you need for your salvation and the peace of God.
Think of His Presence in you, and tell yourself this, and only this:
He leadeth me and knows the way, which I know not.
I trust Him in all things.
(Ref. T.14.III)
