The Decision Maker: The Seat of Destiny

A common confusion that befalls many students of A Course in Miracles
concerns asking the Holy Spirit or Jesus for help; or, to state it
another way, what it means to be in one's right mind. Our everyday...

"... when we ask Jesus or the Holy
Spirit for help with specific problems, we are allowing the ego's
agenda of subterfuge to contaminate our relationship with our
Teachers. They thus become part of the problem instead of the answer.
"

Jesus, what can I say! I say THANK YOU Jesus for
having helped with so many specific problems,
allowing specific solutions, sharing your answers
with us specifically. Comfort those who believe
they betray you by asking for help specifically,
and those who teach not to ask for help, for
whatever reason. Thank you.

You have been told to ask the Holy Spirit for the answer to any specific
problem, and that you will receive a specific answer if such is your need.
You have also been told that there is only one problem and one answer. In
prayer this is not contradictory. There are decisions to make here, and
they must be made whether they be illusions or not. You cannot be asked to
accept answers which are beyond the level of need that you can recognize.
Therefore, it is not the form of the question that matters, nor how it is
asked. The form of the answer, if given by God, will suit your need as you
see it. This is merely an echo of the reply of His Voice. The real sound
is always a song of thanksgiving and of Love.

The Holy Spirit goes only where he is invited.
Inviting the Holy Spirit into one's life is asking
for help. Those who do not ask for help cannot
hear the Voice of the Holy Spirit. Although
Jesus can step over the barriers we raise uninvited.

a shock moment, to be honest. maz
