The Guidance is in normal type In His Guidance, He has asked Me to capitalize the pronouns You and We as an acknowledgement of the Divinity of All of Us, an acknowledgement of Equality, an expression of His Love and respect for You.

I will step back and let Him lead the way.

Since I don’t really know where I should be going or what I should be doing for any of My Brothers, this is a very wise decision!  I used to think I knew what I was doing, and could go it on My own.  And wow!  Was I ever wrong!

I do not want to take a step without the Holy Spirit.

¹ There is a way of living in the world that is not here, although it seems to be.

It is a way of joy and peace that is hard to believe can really be, while I’m still stuck in the dream.  Yet it does exist and is available to All who wish to make choice for it.

You do not change appearance, though you smile more frequently. Your forehead is serene; your eyes are quiet.

The peace but seems unreasonable, given the circumstances, yet peace it is, indeed.

And the ones who walk the world as you do recognize their own. Yet those who have not yet perceived the way will recognize you also and believe that you are like them as you were before.

Showing once again that You all see what You think is present.. Rarely do You really see each Other.  To really see, You need have the Holy Spirit’s Vision.

² The world is an illusion. Those who choose to come to it are seeking for a place where they can be illusions and avoid their own reality.  – They have been here so many times before. – Yet when they find their own reality is even here, then they step back and let it lead the way. What other choice is really theirs to make? To let illusion walk ahead of truth is madness, but to let illusion sink behind the truth and let the truth stand forth as what it is, is simple sanity.

When Truth is seen, where has illusion gone but back to nowhere?

³This is the simple choice we make today.

Between insanity and Sanity.  Is it hard to make?  How hard is it to choose between happiness and misery?  Peace and abject fear?

The very fact that there seems to be a choice to be made – at all – is quite insane.  Who in Your Right Mind would choose fear and misery in place of happiness and peace?

The mad illusion will remain awhile in evidence for those to look upon who chose to come and have not yet rejoiced to find they were mistaken in the choice. They cannot learn directly from the truth, because they have denied that it is so. And so they need a teacher who perceives their madness, but who still can look beyond illusion to the simple truth in them.

For the shift to Sanity from insanity is just a change of mind.  How hard can that be?

⁴ If truth demanded they give up the world, it would appear to them as if it asked the sacrifice of something that is real. Yet all that is asked of You is that You give up Your dreaming.

Many have chosen to renounce the world while still believing its reality, and they have suffered from a sense of loss and have not been released accordingly.   To the separated sense of mind – that We’ve called ‘the ego’ – the world seems precious – despite its pain and suffering – for it is the home of the ego.  And yet, it is not real, and neither is the ego!

Others have chosen nothing but the world, and they have suffered from a sense of loss still deeper, which they did not understand.  For the world does not fulfill its promises, as all true satisfaction comes from God and God alone.

⁵ Between these paths there is another road that leads away from loss of every kind, for sacrifice and deprivation both are quickly left behind. This is the way appointed for you now. You walk this path as others walk, nor do you seem to be distinct from them although you are indeed. Thus can you serve them while you serve yourself and set their footsteps on the way which God has opened up to you, and them through you.  When You give Me the gift of Your little willingness, there is no end to the Good We can accomplish working together!

If All of You who are touched by My words would join Us with sincerity, We would see miracles abounding everywhere.

For each willing mind becomes My minister to this world of pain and suffering, binding up the broken-hearted with Your loving-kindnesses, as loving thoughts become loving actions.

⁶ Illusion still appears to cling to you that you may reach them. Yet it has stepped back, and it is not illusion that they hear you speak of nor illusion which you bring their eyes to look on and their minds to grasp.  It is Your Living Love that feeds the hearts They did not even know were so hungry.  For They had sought only to get Love, and yet not to give It.  Now They see Your peace in giving and are more than a little comforted by it.

This living teaching is such a blessing, as those who learn go on teaching Others, simply by living

This Love that seeks to give instead of get becomes plentiful.  And the mind of the world begins to change.

Now can the truth, which walks ahead of you, speak to them through illusion, for the road leads past illusion now, while on the way you call to them that they may follow you.  Live what You’re learning.  Teach by Your Love and Your integrity.  And They will feel so blessed by what They see.

⁷All roads will lead to this one in the end. All ways must lead eventually to Love, for It is the only real attraction.

For sacrifice and deprivation are paths which lead nowhere, choices for defeat, and aims which will remain impossible. All this steps back as truth comes forth in you to lead your brothers from the ways of death and set them on the way to happiness. Their suffering is but illusion. Yet they need a guide to lead them out of it, for they mistake illusion for the truth.  And what Guide could be more appealing than Your Love for them?  Has it not been My Love which does attract You?

⁸ Such is salvation’s call, and nothing more. It asks that you accept the truth, and let it go before you, lighting up the path of ransom from illusion. It is not a ransom with a price. There is no cost, but only gain. Illusion can but seem to hold in chains the holy Son of God. It is but from illusions he is saved. As they step back, he finds himself again.  How do illusions ‘step back’ but by Your stepping forward, drawn by My Love for You.

⁹Walk safely now, yet carefully, because this path is new to you. And you may find that you are tempted still to walk ahead of truth and let illusions be your guide. How do You “walk ahead” but by moving without Guidance.  Remember to ask, listen, and follow then!

Your holy brothers have been given you to follow in your footsteps as you walk with certainty of purpose to the truth. It goes before you now, that they may see something with which they can identify, something they understand to lead the way.  Your gentle and consistent pausing, to listen for the Voice of the Holy Spirit, teach them more than any words could do.

¹⁰ Yet at the journey’s ending there will be no gap, no distance between truth and you. And all illusions walking in the way you travelled will be gone from you as well, with nothing left to keep the truth apart from God’s completion, holy as Himself. Step back in faith, and let truth lead the way. You know not where you go, but One Who knows goes with you. Let Him lead you with the rest.  I walk with You, as We All move in happy harmony with the Holy Spirit.

¹¹ When dreams are over, time has closed the door on all the things that pass, and miracles are purposeless, the holy Son of God will make no journeys.  Miracles are valuable within the dream, as Reality intruding.  Once the Son Awakens, they are no longer needed; for each instant is Holy and miraculous.

There will be no wish to be illusion rather than the truth. And we step forth toward this as we progress along the way that truth points out to us. This is our final journey, which we make for everyone. We must not lose our way. For as truth goes before us, so it goes before our brothers who will follow us.  We are not the Leaders, Truth is.  Love is.

¹² We walk to God. Pause and reflect on this. Could any way be holier or more deserving of your effort, of your love, and of your full intent? What way could give you more than everything or offer less and still content the holy Son of God? We walk to God. The truth that walks before us now is one with Him and leads us to where He has always been. What way but this could be a path that you would choose instead?  This is such a happy journey Home, as We go together.  God, Be-ing Love, is Source and Home for Us.

¹³ Your feet are safely set upon the road which leads the world to God. Look not to ways that seem to lead you elsewhere. Dreams are not a worthy guide for you who are God’s Son.  Beware the ego not distract You with its siren song of self-indulgence, self-determination.  ‘I will do as I please!’ it does announce.  Tell it to shut up!  It will go when You refuse to listen.

Forget not He has placed His hand in yours – hold to Him tightly! – and given you your brothers in His trust that you are worthy of His trust in you. He cannot be deceived. His trust has made your pathway certain and your goal secure. You will not fail your brothers nor your Self.  Your mind is now attuned to God, fixed on Love, not on ego.

¹⁴ And now He asks but that you think of Him a while each day that He may speak to you – S/He may speak as You; You and S/He are One – and tell you of His Love, reminding you how great His trust, how limitless His Love.  – Then too be Your trust and Love unlimited, for He is Thee. – In your name and His own, which are the same, we practice gladly with this thought today:

¹⁵ I will step back and let Him lead the way,
For I would walk along the road to Him.

And know that He walks not with but as Me already.

[Thank you Dear Brother]
