A friend asked me how I know that the messages I receive are
from the Holy Spirit, and not from the ego. I didn’t know how to
answer that at first. It bothered me for awhile and so I decided to
ask the Holy Spirit about it. He reminded me that God always answers
with love. He always answers for the benefit of everyone, and His
answer always brings peace.
He reminded me that I also know the kind of message I get from the
ego. It is always about separation. It always leads to chaos, to
anger, fear and guilt. He then reminded me that there are only two
voices. I am hearing the one I want to hear.
It was a good reminder. Hearing the Voice for God is not a special
occasion. It is not for some people and not for others. It is a
perfectly natural phenomenon. The Holy Spirit speaks to us all the
time; if we are not hearing Him it is because we are choosing to
hear the ego instead.
The best way to become accustomed to hearing this Voice is to ask a
question and practice listening. I started learning I could do this
through my study at
Pathways of Light® . I improved my ability to listen when I read,
“The Journey That Never Was”
by DavidPaul and Candace Doyle.
Recently I began using the
“Illumination Journal” by Paul and Deb Phelps. This has been so
helpful to me as I practice listening, because each day you are
called to receive a message from the Holy Spirit.

My Daily Lesson
Since I began using
The Illumination Journal, my study of the daily lessons is
so much richer. It is my intention this year to do my lessons on line and share them with you. I invite you to share with me. I know that if we join in this process, we will all be much further along than if we had done them alone. I also invite you to visit Rev Deb and Paul at their Daily Lesson site.

Lesson 1
Nothing I see in this room (on this street, from this window, in this place) means anything.
What does this lesson mean to me?
This is like erasing the chalk board. Nothing I see means anything. I set aside all I think I know. I am a blank slate on which the truth can be written.
How can I apply this lesson in my life right now?
Everyday I am faced with muliple decisions. If I think I know what anything means, I will rely on my knowledge to make decisions. If I recognize that I know nothing, I can ask the Holy Spirit for help. I will make no decisions on my own.
My message from the Holy Spirit.
Don't worry about what you forget to do during the day. Don't be concerned about what you are learning or how it should happen. Just allow me to work in you. You have the right idea, and you have the desire. That is all you need. Just practice as I tell you, and do the best you can. Do not judge what you do or what you fail to do.
My message to Holy Spirit.
Thank you Holy Spirit for this reassurance. Always in the past I have been very upset when I failed to live up to my expectations as I did the lessons. This time I will release my idea of what a good job looks like.

Lesson 2
I have given everything I see in this room (on this street, from this window, in this place) all the meaning that it has for me.
What does this lesson mean to me?
First I learned that nothing has any meaning of itself, then I learned that the meaning I thought it had was given by me. As I glanced at my cereal I thought about the meaning I gave it. I realized the meaning changed depending on what I was telling myself about it. First I told myself that it was healthy and supported my body in a good way. Another time, I told myself that it was not so healthy for me because it was processed so much. Then another time it went back to being healthy because it was non-fat, then it was an unwelcome addition to my diet because it had so many carbs. I saw that not only do I give it meaning, my meaning shifts and changes and is undependable.
How can I apply this lesson in my life right now?
I can recognize how unproductive it is for me to judge anything because my judgment is based on undependable and shifting meaning.
My message from Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit brought to mind a person I had judged. As I thought about him my mind sifted through all the reasons I am judging, all the ways he is wrong. Suddenly my attention returned to the lesson for today and I realized that I had given him all the meaning he has for me. So all the things I don’t like about him, or that make me uncomfortable, come from me.
My message to Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit, thank you for that insight. I recognize that I have written meaning on this person, and I erase that meaning. I wait for you to write Your meaning there. I recognize that this person is symbolic of everything. I am deeply grateful to You as You gently correct my errors
