Daily Inspiration: December 23. All Nightmares End with You Awakening from Them

It’s time to let go of despair. For even our darkest nightmares end with us awakening from them. As invested as we may be in our pain and struggles, the only power these aspects of our experience hold over us is the power that we give to them. If we give them no power (no more of our time, focus and energy) we will see their power over us dissolve away. If we give them our time, focus and energy, then yes, that will give them a bigger hold over us. Yet no matter how much power they seem to hold over our experience, once we awaken, we will we see them as the false tales that they are. It is when we awaken to what they truly are — illusions, nothing, not real, not us — that we let them go. Today, if we hold a belief about others or ourself that is hurting us, let us recall that, in any moment, free will allows us to let go of what no longer serves us.

A belief is just an idea that has been thought over again and again, so much so, that it no longer takes effort to think that thought. Only the loving thoughts of God are real and true. Any thought or belief that is hurtful in nature can therefor neither be real or true. Today, let us no longer invest in the ego’s delusional mindset, its nightmares that we have been taught as real and true. Do not despair for all nightmares just like all illusions that come from the world of time have a time limit. You will sooner or later awaken from them. When you do, you will breathe a sigh of relief realizing they were not real. Take a moment to look back at your past and see how you have always awaken from your nightmares. Then be at peace knowing you will also awaken from any present or future nightmares. Nightmares being in opposition to the love of God are not, have never been, nor will ever be true. Recall this, awaken, align with the Light within and be at peace.

Have we all not slept long enough? When you awaken you will no longer have an interest in judging yourself or those who  sleep. All the childish little judgmental centered games the ego has programmed us to use during the day will fade. Fading they will no longer fuel the ego’s delusional nightmares at night. Now awaken we will put away the childish games and use them no more. Is it not interesting that the hundreds of different looking nightmares we through our life experience are all gone once we awaken? All we need do deter the nightmare of worry, doubt and fear is trust in God’s plan over the ego’s plan. All we need do is choose love over fear, forgiveness over judgment, and peace over punishment. That is all we need do to cut off the ego’s fuel source. Cut off from you it will wither away and die off before your greater self-awareness and understanding. The more time you dedicate to being and sharing your loving self the less room the ego will have to roam. Today, remember this: The ego and all its nightmares are not real, you are. Your truth is that you are your Father’s, Love’s creation. You are here to create as He created, through Love. Today, let us make kindness, hope, forgiveness, compassion, joy and peace, our loving creation tools. The more we work through the loving truth in us the less we will need the ego’s fantasies and false concepts to prop us up. The Love of God is All and thus all nightmares and the thoughts that fuel them must not be real. Remember this anytime that you find yourself lost in doubt, fear, confusion and chaos. They are not real and thus the only power they could ever hold over us is the power we give to them.

Today, let us not make feelings, facts. You believe the nightmare is real because you keep supporting its “reality” not because the nightmare is truly real. As you start awakening from it and stop supporting its reality it will begin to dissolve away. We will awaken from all nightmares of anger, sorrow, fear, resentment, hate and regret. Once forgiveness as an expression of Love and Love which is a symbolic alignment with God is focus on and offered awaking occurs and nightmares end. If you are still so invested in the nightmare you cannot offer forgiveness or self-forgiveness then step aside and ask Love to lead you. In any moment you can stop judgment, invite God in and begin anew. Begin to awaken by consciously picking thoughts that feel good for you to think, such as those that bring you a sense of calm and peace. You don’t want to increase your guilt by saying things you don’t really yet believe or resonate with. Thus, instead of forgiving your sister when you don’t really mean it maybe you can say something like: “I can’t yet completely forgive my sister but I know God is forgiving. I know I am One with God. Therefore there must be a part of me that can through God’s mercy and grace begin to forgive her. Now I can through God’s mercy and grace begin thinking more forgiving, kind, gentle and peaceful thoughts when my sister comes to mind. If I still cannot think as God would have me think then I allow God to think these loving thoughts for me. I will do this until I can appreciate the wisdom of ways. I am as God’s creation worthy of peace of mind and joy. Being all One I now know I can not withhold forgiveness, peace and joy from another and still experience them myself. Awakening to this knowledge I now offer all others what I myself desire to experience.”

Today, if feeling stuck in the ego’s nightmares, let us not despair. Instead, let us use this state of mind to trigger in us the desire to awaken. Aligning with Love and Light signals to us that we are awakening. Love and Light have numerous expressions such as forgiveness, trust in the Divine, peace, compassion and joy. Nightmares, and the thoughts and expressions they produce, do not represent the truth within us. They are simply signs of a mind that is unaware or asleep to its true nature. Some of these signs are judgment, anxiousness, anger, resentment, jealousy and hate. Today, let us recognize these states of mind as being out of alignment with our loving nature. Then let us allow this self-awareness to help awaken us from the ego’s dream.

All glory to God.

Peace, Health, Happiness, Love, Laughter, and Light.
