Hi Friends,
I am convinced by my own experience that there is nothing that is true, healing and universal that I cannot receive or perceive when I am able to still my mind for even a few moments. As the Course tells us, " In quietness are all things answered, and is every problem quietly resolved". And while the mind is in conflict, meaning not quiet, no resolution can be seen or received. The Course also tells us that when you access that quiet mind, you have reached a state of mind where the answers are already there, just waiting for you! If the answers are already there in that "other state of mind", how do we get to this "other state of mind"?
If I can just hold open my mind long enough,
there is no truth I cannot receive,
No answer that can be barred from me,
No vision beyond my perception,
And no healing beyond my reception.
Only the right conditions are required to receive,
Not worthiness achieved.
Only my open mind is required to receive all that is already there waiting for my acceptance.
What is an open mind?
It is A mind that, for an instant, no more and no less,
is not deciding anything by itself based on its own past experience.
An open mind is a mind that for a moment, is not generating its own ideas or plans to meet any specific needs.
For a moment the mind is open only to receive what it has has not yet heard, from a Mind with far more perspective than its own.
In a moment such as this, nothing is impossible, for there is no past to dictate what is possible.
This open-mindedness is the practice that makes peace possible, and it is the place from which all miracles are born.
Once again today we practice the holy instant ,
Stretching and strengthening our spiritual muscles to enlarge our capacity to accept the Heaven that is ours now.

Blessed is Your Practice,
Anna
