The Awareness of the Holy Spirit

The Awareness of the Holy Spirit

How can you become increasingly aware of the Holy Spirit in you EXCEPT by
His effects? You cannot see Him with your eyes, nor hear Him with your ears.
How, then, can you perceive Him at all? If you inspire joy, and others react
to you WITH joy, even though you are not experiencing joy yourself, there
MUST be something in you that is capable of producing it. If it IS in you
and CAN produce joy, and if you see that it DOES produce joy in others, you
MUST be dissociating it in yourself.

It seems to you that the Holy Spirit does NOT produce joy consistently in
you ONLY because you do not consistently AROUSE joy in others. Their
reactions to you ARE your evaluations of His consistency. When you are
inconsistent you will not always GIVE RISE to joy, and so you will not
always RECOGNIZE His consistency. What you offer to your brother you offer
to Him, because He cannot go BEYOND your offering in His giving. This is not
because He limits His giving, but simply because you have limited your
RECEIVING. The will to receive is the will to accept.

Hyou EXCEPT by is effects?

Weird way to put it, since there isn't anything that isn't "holy'.
All existence is Blessed. It's all a part of God.

But if you want to get in touch with your own inner self, the
non-physical part of yourself, just sit quietly and look within,
freeing yourself from concepts.

This is from "The Nature of Personal Reality" by Jane Roberts.
It is far superior to the Bible or to its derivatives, like
ACIM.

I think this is what it says. to become increasingly aware of it. What is
all, always, already there.

I agree and ACIM says this same thing, too.

I think this is what it says. to become increasingly aware
of it. What is all, always, already there.

That kind of mixed, even contradictory, message, is typical of
the deceitful document mis-named "a course in miracles". But
it's really work than that, because ACIM is a clumsy attempt to
make Christianity seem to be New-Age. So the negative messages,
usually implied, outweigh the positive enw-age ones, which are
usually in your face.

Like I said, it's a very deceitful document. You can see above
how confused its adherenets are.
