What is my reasoning?
Holy Spirit or ego

Hello Friends,
This morning, the Holy Spirit seemed to add an addendum to my PalTalk teaching
from last night. The subject was:
What is my reasoning?
Holy Spirit or ego?
We talked about looking at the reason behind a thought before making
a decision. For example, if I feel to make a phone call, I can ask myself why
I want to make that phone call. What is my reason? If I find that I feel
guilty for not returning this person's call and that is my reason for the
current thought, I know I am listening to the ego and I can let the thought
go. But if I find that there seems to be no self-willed reasoning behind the
thought, I can trust the prompt and follow-through on it.
This morning, the Holy Spirit showed me through the interpretation of 1 John,
Chapter 4 that the phone call itself is not at all important. Nothing within
the world is important. What is important is the foundation we are
accepting by accepting the thought and making the decision.
So, if I make a call because I feel guilty, I am accepting the belief of
separation and teaching it in the mind.
It is this underlying teaching within the mind that is important . . . not the
action itself.
Here is the passage from the interpretation of 1 John, Chapter 4 that brought
this realization to light for me:
Everything that you
experience within the dream of the world comes from one of two sources:
-
the
thinking mind, which is the mask of separation, or
-
the Holy Spirit, which is the true desire of the heart.
Every thought,
every feeling, every belief that you seem to live by and every image that you
seem to see or hear speaks the thoughts of one source or the other. Your role
is to discern the source of the thought and then decide if you will accept
what it teaches based upon the source of the teaching that is shared.
(verses 1 – 3)
It is the source of a thought that is important in every moment. We must
discern the source, because by accepting the source, we accept and teach that
source's message within our mind.
>It is the source of a thought that is
important in every moment. We must discern the source, because by accepting

This is getting clearer and simpler for me as I am letting this insight rest
within my mind.
OK. So, let's imagine the world as nothing but one big computer program.
Now, I am not a computer programmer, but I believe I am correct in saying
that all computer programs are made up, at the foundational level, of a
binary code that consists of nothing but 0 and 1.
Let's say that 0 represents the Holy Spirit, because 0 is a circle without
beginning or ending.
And let's say that 1 represents the ego (separation), because it clearly has
a beginning & an ending. It also looks very separate standing there alone.
Ok . . . so if the world is nothing but a computer program, at the
foundation of every thought, every belief, every image, every experience,
every feeling, there is either the code of 0 or 1. All we have to do is look
beyond the seeming thought, belief, image, experience, or feeling to the
code that is at its foundation. If it is a 0, we accept it. If it is a 1, we
do not. Through this process, we end up with nothing but 0's, and the
computer program of the world disappears!
Now, how cool is that?
With Love,
Regina
