Hello world. The following was written 6/4/2015.
Holy Spirit has had me contemplating books and the power and belief we place in them. The visions I am given are images of worshiping and the idolization of books. I ask Holy Spirit what it is I am witnessing? What Holy Spirit is telling me is books and the words in them are being worshiped and idolized then twisted to mean what is wanted. What I am being shown are people on their knees and crawling on their bellies to appease a book. I am seeing people use these books to beat one another. Using the words in them to enforce each striking blow of the book. Hacking, stabbing, and bludgeoning one and all into submission of what they think and believe the books words are saying to them.
What do you believe in and are placing your faith and trust into? What makes you believe there is a “higher power” out there of God, Buddha, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Satan? What makes you believe there is something out there? What is giving you your faith and trust to believe? Was it a book? Was it a movie? Was it what someone said to you?
What Holy Spirit is showing me are brothers worshiping books. Books like the Bible, ACIM, Koran, Jehovah Witnesses, Torah and this lists go on and on. They are worshiping a book as being God. Believing the book will give them all the answers, saving them from themselves and the world around them.
Holy Spirit is telling me it is a concept misperceived. They are tools for learning and nothing more these books. When the ideas put forth are understood fully they are to be implemented into our lives. We are then to live them. Not just talk about them. In living them we become the example of what is being taught in that book. We are putting the lessons learned to practical use every moment of the day. Actions will always speak out much more loudly then words ever will.
The Course talks about living the course. Setting aside the book and living it. Do not value the valueless. The book is of no value by itself. It may as well be a door stop. The only value it will have is the value you are placing onto it. What are you valuing here? Is it the shiny blue cover and all it’s fancy words? Is it the concepts it puts forth you are valuing? What is it’s value to you?
What are you using the book in your hands for? What is it to you? If it were to disappear today how would you feel about it? Are you using the book to heal or to hurt? When you grasp the concepts, are you living them or just talking about them? Are you helping to heal others or beat them down with these lessons and concepts you are learning? What is it you have been believing is Truth? What do you believe? What?
Blessings on your journeys my brothers. Hugs and love. You are loved. I love you.
