⁴The Holy Spirit is the motivation for miracle-mindedness; the decision to heal the separation by letting it go. (ACIM, T-5.II.1:4)
Napag-usapan na natin sa mga previous topics na yung Holy Spirit ang Voice for God.
Napapakinggan natin yung Holy Spirit pag miracle-minded tayo, pag nag-shift yung perception natin.
Na-hi-heal yung mind natin pag nile-let go natin yung thoughts of separation from God.
The Holy Spirit is the spirit of joy. ²He is the Call to return with which God blessed the minds of His separated Sons. ³This is the vocation of the mind. ⁴The mind had no calling until the separation, because before that it had only being, and would not have understood the Call to right thinking. (ACIM, T-5.II.2:1-4)
Yung Holy Spirit ay parang yung signal ng cellphone natin: hindi natin nakikita pero connected tayo, 24/7.
Eto daw yung “calling” talaga nating lahat, yung call for God – ang pagbabalik-loob natin sa Diyos.
At ang gamit nating linya para kumonek yung call ay yung Holy Spirit.
⁷The Holy Spirit is in you in a very literal sense. ⁸His is the Voice that calls you back to where you were before and will be again. ⁹It is possible even in this world to hear only that Voice and no other. ¹⁰It takes effort and great willingness to learn. (ACIM, T-5.II.3:7-10)
The Holy Spirit is with us, in us. Hindi lang tayo laging aware kasi may ibang voice tayong napapakinggan – yung sa ego. Noise siya actually.
So para mapakinggan natin yung Holy Spirit, kailangan hinaan o bawasan natin yung ingay.
Again, yung suggestion ko is the practice of meditation. Kapag regular tayong nag-me-meditate, nadidisiplina yung utak natin at nababawasan yung ingay ng mga thoughts.
³By choosing one you give up the other. ⁴The choice for the Holy Spirit is the choice for God. (ACIM, T-5.II.5:3-4)
Either papakinggan natin yung Holy Spirit o yung ego, hindi pwedeng both.
So sa mga thoughts natin, suriin natin alin dun yung galing sa Holy Spirit at alin yung galing sa ego.
Kapag yung atensyon natin ay nasa thoughts galing sa ego, kailangan lang natin i-shift yung atensyon natin dun sa thoughts inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Mararamdaman natin yung shift kasi it will feel good.
The Voice of the Holy Spirit does not command, because It is incapable of arrogance. ²It does not demand, because It does not seek control. ³It does not overcome, because It does not attack. ⁴It merely reminds. (ACIM, T-5.II.7:1-4)
Eto pa yung ibang katangian ng Voice of the Holy Spirit. Hindi siya mautos, walang commandments. Sa religion lang meron nun, pero yung Holy Spirit mismo wala.
Hindi rin siya demanding kasi wala siyang kailangang makuha sa atin. Walang “should” o “must”.
Hindi rin nakikipagkumpetensya sa atensyon.
Gentle reminder lang yung The Voice, mga munting paalala lang kung sino talaga tayo sa mata ng Diyos.
⁷The Voice for God is always quiet, because It speaks of peace. ⁸Peace is stronger than war because it heals. ⁹War is division, not increase. (ACIM, T-5.II.7:7-9)
Pabulong lang yung The Voice. Yung mga thoughts ng Holy Spirit ay nakakapagbigay ng peace of mind.
Kabaliktaran ng thoughts galing sa ego na laging at war, laging in conflict. Hindi natatahimik pag walang gulo.
Yung thoughts galing sa ego is always about division o separation. Iba “kami,” iba “sila.”
¹²If you listen to the wrong voice you have lost sight of your soul. ¹³You cannot lose it, but you can not know it. ¹⁴It is therefore “lost” to you until you choose right. (ACIM, T-5.II.7:12-14)
So kung yung noise ng ego ang pinapakinggan natin, ‘matik na hindi natin maririnig yung Holy Spirit. ‘Di ba sabi nga kanina, “by choosing one, you give up the other.”
Ang good news ay hindi naman talaga nawawala yung The Voice. Kumbaga sa radio station, nasa ibang frequency lang. Ang kailangan lang natin gawin ay mag-tune in dun sa frequency na yun para mapakinggan natin ulit yung Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is your Guide in choosing. ²He is in the part of your mind that always speaks for the right choice, because He speaks for God. ³He is your remaining communication with God, which you can interrupt but cannot destroy. (ACIM, T-5.II.8:1-3)
Yung Holy Spirit ang Guide natin to communicate with our soul, with God.
Yung soul natin speaks to us through feelings. So malalaman natin kung naka-tune in tayo sa ating soul kasi masarap siya sa pakiramdam. Literal na “ang gaan-gaan ng feeling” kasi “light” ang energy frequency ng soul.
Again, yung channel of communication natin kay God ay laging “on air.” Pag hindi natin mapakinggan, ibig sabihin lang e nasa ibang channel tayo. Kailangan lang nating mag-tune in ulit.
My mind will always be like yours, because we were created as equals. ²It was only my decision that gave me all power in Heaven and earth. ³My only gift to you is to help you make the same decision. (ACIM, T-5.II.9:1-3)
Si Jesus, na-train niya yung mind na maging tuned in lagi sa The Voice. At sinasabi niya sa atin na kaya rin nating gawin yun.
Pero kailangan sa atin manggaling yung decision. Hindi si Jesus ang magde-decide para sa atin. Kaya niya lang tayong i-guide, pero yung mga steps, tayo ang hahakbang nun.
³You are the light of the world with me. ⁴Rest does not come from sleeping but from waking. ⁵The Holy Spirit is the Call to awaken and be glad. (ACIM, T-5.II.10:3-5)
Kasama si Jesus, tayong Child of God (“Christ”) yung the light of the world.
“Rest,” meaning yung peace of mind, ay nanggagaling sa pag-awaken ng unconscious part ng psyche natin para maging aware ulit tayo kung sino talaga tayo.
Yung knowledge na yun ang makakapagbigay sa atin ng true happiness.
When you are tempted by the wrong voice, call on me to remind you how to heal by sharing my decision and making it stronger. ³Remember that “yoke” means “join together,” and “burden” means “message.” ⁴Let us restate “My yoke is easy and my burden light” in this way; “Let us join together, for my message is light.” (ACIM, T-5.II.11:1,3-4)
Pag nakakalimot tayo, pwede tayong humingi ng assistance anytime kay Jesus. Ako personally, iniimagine ko lang si Jesus na nakangiti e nakakalma na ako. O kaya naman, magbabasa lang ako o makikinig sa mga messages niya.
Yun ang mensahe ni Jesus sa “my yoke is easy and my burden light.” Mag-join together daw tayo para yung pakikitungo natin sa buhay ay EZ!
