The
Holy Spirit is the guide out of what would be the mind's endless loop
of fear that keeps it from awakening. The Holy Spirit has the unique
ability to understand what is created - what is of God, and what is
made - what is part of the dream.
The
Holy Spirit is the Mediator between the interpretations of the ego
and the knowledge of the spirit. His ability to deal with
symbols enables Him to work with the ego's beliefs in its own
language. His ability to look beyond symbols into eternity enables
Him to understand the laws of God, for which He speaks. He can
therefore perform the function of reinterpreting what the ego makes,
not by destruction but by understanding. T-5.III.7,1-4.
The
ego is the symbol of separation, just as the Holy Spirit is the
symbol of peace. What you perceive in others you are strengthening in
yourself. You may let your mind misperceive, but the Holy Spirit lets
your mind reinterpret its own misperceptions.
The
Holy Spirit is the perfect Teacher. He uses only what your mind
already understands to teach you that you do not understand it. The
Holy Spirit can deal with a reluctant learner without going counter
to his mind, because part of it is still for God. T-5.III.9:4-6/10:1-3
The
Voice of the Holy Spirit does not command, because It is incapable of
arrogance. It does not demand, because It does not seek control. It
does not overcome, because It does not attack. It merely reminds. It
is compelling only because of what It reminds you of. It
brings to your mind the other way, remaining quiet even in the midst
of the turmoil you may make. T-5.VII.2:1-6
The
Holy Spirit is the guide out of what would be the mind's endless loop
of fear that keeps it from awakening. The Holy Spirit has the unique
ability to understand what is created - what is of God, and what is
made - what is part of the dream.
