VIII. The Problem and the Answer, P 13

13 Children perceive frightening ghosts and monsters and dragons, and they are terrified. Yet if they ask someone they trust for the meaning of what they perceive, and are willing to let their own interpretations go in favor of reality, their fear goes with them. When a child is helped to translate his “ghost” into a curtain, his “monster” into a shadow, and his “dragon” into a dream he is no longer afraid, and laughs happily at his own fear.

Journal
I would become as a child and allow my frightening dreams to be re-interpreted for me by the Holy Spirit. I would not argue with His interpretation, nor doubt it. I would but accept it in complete trust that He knows what I have forgotten. It seems too often that I hear the ego first, and sometimes still believe what I hear. When this happens I have tried to follow ego’s instructions as a solution to my problem and this only kept me in the problem. Now I choose to practice listening to Holy Spirit daily until my first choice becomes Holy Spirit rather than ego.

I still believe in fear and guilt, but I am willing to let those beliefs be healed. I do this through practice. All day, every day, I practice vigilance and I practice choosing again. I ask for the Atonement and I accept it as best as I can. Each effort on my part increases my willingness. This is the best use of time until finally we release the idea of time. The best use of the stories is to let them be seen differently until the mind is healed of guilt and fear. And then the stories change to stories of love, until they are finally released completely.
