I can sometimes see it, but even then I am usually powerless to do anything about it. As far as understanding is concerned, I seem to have concluded somewhat recently that actually, I have no idea what is going on. So from that point I agree with the lesson totally. Unless of course, I got the lesson totally wrong as well... In which case, I don't understand that either! I am not speaking for Angela, but yes, my conditioning as well.

Perhaps the answer lies somewhere in your past upbringing and conditioning? Angela,

Interesting question. Perhaps the answer lies somewhere in your past upbringing and conditioning?

I see that I've frozen myself to a standstill with futile worry when all I need to do is be still and listen for the guidance that will come, that is there. I know this in my heart, but why then do I allow my head (ego) to cloud my judgement? I am feeling overwhelmed by all that I have going on in my life and all that I want to accomplish.

What does today’s lesson mean to me? Well, if I have given all the meaning to everything in this room, and I was wrong about that meaning, I don’t know anything. In a sense I feel very uncomfortable, disoriented. In another sense, it feels like a release, as if a weight has been lifted. Years of shifting meaning and uncertainty, and now maybe I can have the truth. How can I apply this lesson in my life right now? Do I have to clear my mind of all past associations? That doesn’t seem possible. But as I look at the lesson again, I see that all I am being asked to do is to acknowledge my lack of understanding. I can do that. My message from Holy Spirit. Precious child, you are willing to start over and to see these lessons as if they are brand new. This is helpful and so appreciated. You are not alone; I will be with you each step of the way. See each day as a classroom in which to study that day’s lesson. For instance, today you have plans to write and to pack for your upcoming move. As you sit down to write, accept that you don’t know what anything means and you open your mind for Me to help you. You keep putting off packing because you are frozen in indecision about what to bring and what to discard. Again, recognize that you don’t know what anything means and you have opened the door for my help. This job feels so overwhelming to you that you feel like crying when you think of it. Feel Me with you. Allow Me to decide for you. It is such good practice for you. If you begin to feel discouraged recognize that you are packing with the ego, and bring your mind back in line with Me. Moving can be joyful, and if it is not something has gone wrong. Simply shift your attention from the ego to Me. My message to Holy Spirit. I feel so much better. I did not even realize how much I was dreading this job, and it did not occur to me why. I thank you for your words and for your help. You feel like a best friend, only one who is always here, always has time for me, and always knows the answer. I do not understand anything I see in this room (on this street, from this window, in this place).
