Commitments which are asked of you, given, whatever their nature, are there so that your mind is directed in one direction and you do not let yourself get distracted by temptations that might be proposed, which could get in your way, as you get closer and closer to the Light. Because the ego is very vicious, and tends to keep you away from any commitment. He doesn’t like it at all, because it doesn’t leave the ego much room to maneuver when your mind is really focused on a specific purpose. That's why he likes to leave the doors open and ‘just in case’... This gives him the opportunity to make his appearance and divert you from what you want most, the healing of mind, peace and joy.
It is therefore important that you follow guidance and trust the path that leads you, a little more each day to regain the full expression of your true nature. You never ceased to be what you are, but you've forgotten it, have believed in the dream in which you are living. And guidance sets a direct path for you to let go of beliefs that still keep you in the dream and keep you from fully experiencing the abundance of your true nature. You are Pure Spirit; you are Freedom and Power. Nothing else but this recognition is necessary... Nothing in form is necessary and the guidance that you're offered is the means by which the return to who you are is the most direct, quickest and guided by Love.
Do not be afraid to commit, when a commitment is given to you, it is to commit to God, to Love. And if given to you, that's the path to follow at this moment; it’s through this the most direct healing comes. Walk in confidence that you're never alone. I'm always by your side, ready to take your hand, should you stumble, so you don’t fall. So whatever the nature of the commitment, follow it and see in it the very symbol of your commitment to God through the form in which you seem to live, because there is nothing else but that. Following the symbols given you for God, for the Holy Spirit, in form, will ensure your happiness, joy, and peace. This is what you asked for, it is what was given you. Stay with it, without change, follow...
I'm with you, my Sister, forever in our Father's Love
Jeshua
With Love

Releasing the belief in attack
Last night, Armelle got into an argumentative discussion about our relationship, and I was mostly feeling that she was just "in her stuff" and unable to see clearly. I felt like she was coming totally from her ego and being attacking towards me. At one point she sort of shut me out and put on her headphones, so I had some time to reflect on the discussion and see it differently. I asked the Holy Spirit to help me see it all differently, and I began writing in my journal the insights the came to me. Afterwards, I felt waves of peace beginning to come over me, and I laid down to go to sleep. Shortly thereafter, as if my peace had extended outward, Armelle put her arms around me and it was as if the argument had never happened. It's so great to see how this stuff can work! :-)
Anyway, here's what I wrote in my journal that helped me come to the clarity and peace...
If Armelle is getting upset with me for any reason, then it is really that I am doing it to myself. It is really just that I am still choosing to make attack real in my mind and then see an external symbol of that. But in the moment when I perceive the attack, if I am willing to question the interpretation of what I’m seeing an attack, and become willing to recognize the Infinite Love that is Everywhere which renders the images of the world and the bodies as meaningless, then I will no longer be focusing on the image-concept of an angry body. If I’m no longer interested in that idea, I won’t see it anymore. It’s just like when I became disinterested in watching TV; I just don’t see it anymore. It may even appear that a body is still shouting at me or even being vicious, but rather than getting hypnotized and zooming in on that one, tiny image, and giving it a special meaning (ie. “She is getting upset with me. She should be taking it back to herself, etc..”), I instead will be aware of the Whole which has no parts. This will completely transform the way that the images are perceived, for they will be seen as nothing more than a thin veil which tried to cover the Face of Christ. The Face of Christ will shine through the veil now because it is what I’m asking for, being that I have given up interest in specialness of any kind.
The more I remember all of this, and practice it, the more I see the miracle happening, which is nothing more than a complete shift in perception for me. The seemingly “other” person usually feels it too and "flips" into a witness for peace at some point, although maybe not immediately. But usually far more quickly than if had I “fed the fire” of the ego by still perceiving the ego as real in them and something I needed to get rid of.
Ultimately, I wish to see that everyone is already enlightened. And that is actually the Truth that is, outside of the illusion of time and space. Everyone is already enlightened and always has been. It was only MY illusory dream and my erroneous interpretations within that dream that made it seem otherwise.
So I think I'll practice remembering that now. There's no one outside of me. Only God is real, and there is no other power or reality or Will than God's.

Let do ... Welcome miracles
I always want something different, something other than what is there ... and everything is there, but I do not want it, I want more, I want something else.
I really want there to be a quest, that there be a path on which to walk, that there be something to find ... I do not want what is there, just now. For if there is a quest, there is a seeker and that's what makes me special, seeking. And if I no longer search, I'm not special.
Because that's where it all began, the Son had everything, everything was there and he wanted to go elsewhere, he wanted more, something else, something different and we replay that over and over again indefinitely, not taking what life offers us in the flow, and desperate to have our own individual will and create what we believe to be good for us. And struggles come from wanting to still play in both worlds, to be part of both worlds.
I saw it tonight regarding my trip to Toronto where for several days, I was inspired to contact a friend to spend the first days at his place, and as he did not respond the way I had hoped, I didn't answer anything, and I got it into my head that I had no place to sleep on arrival and I would see what the Spirit would give me, opening myself to other possibilities. But everything had already happened, everything was already done, planned, and yet I did not want to see it, because it didn’t meet what I wanted, imagined.
But who was wanting? So I wanted something else, so I imagined that there could be something else, something even better. But I'm not following this path for me to make friends, but for the healing of the mind and I do not know what my best interest is. So I have to trust what the Spirit gives me and defer to Him, to the guidance that I feel in me and not try to do things differently in my own way, to seek again and again ...
STOOOOOOP! It’s time to stop seeking. It is time to stop and see that Everything is already there ... that is what Spirit was telling me the last night at the center "Rest. Do nothing. Do nothing anymore. I’ll take care of everything ... "
Wow miracles are flying, this is crazy. I just finished writing all that and opened my FaceBook and I saw that Janet, from Toronto just wrote me and asked me my flight number, arrival time and told me not ask questions about my lodging. It's wonderful, absolutely wonderful. I had just accepted what was there, realized I did not need to search for anything else, and now the Spirit is manifested through my sister to talk to me ... I replied, telling her about this friend I had not heard from recently, but to whose house I was obviously guided to go, although I haven’t had a reply, although I have no assurance, even if I don’t know it with the certainty of this world, I know that everything has already happened, I know that everything is orchestrated. I shared with her that I had this confidence in the Holy Spirit and I felt that everything was perfect. She replied instantly saying she would be at the airport to greet me with a sign with my name and that I would have a place to sleep, everything is taken care of for me ... She and Carlos are taking care of everything!
It's wonderful ... I burn from the inside, it's so huge, it's so true, it's crazy!
Stop wanting more, stop wanting something else ... Open your eyes to what is ALREADY HERE.... and let go to Spirit, trust Him, a trust complete ... What joy ... He does everything, I do nothing ...
Love
Armelle
