I feel such tension because now I'm more sensitive to the effects of my choices, how the entire world is established and how relationships are put up, and how sex is supposed to be. Please help me to understand what is happening.acim podcasts

David Hoffmeister: Thanks for writing and sharing what is on your heart. The desire for sex (and other ego appetites) falls away, usually gradually and progressively through the years of mind training. Permit the Holy Spirit to Guide, and the mind unwinds from everything it believed in and pursued. Yet do not project awareness to where you think you "want" it to be or "believe" it will be. Defenses are outgrown, as a kid outgrows toys that once seemed exciting and enjoyable. The focus is never on the shape, but always on the mind training.

I once felt the same tension and sensitivity you are speaking of, and my first steps in surrendering my entire life to the Holy Spirit was allowing all my emotions to freely come to the outer lining of awareness with repressing them. This was intense, and yet with much mind training this eventually passed.

Take the time and inquire relating to this very important question: Where do I believe my safety lies? This whole world—everything that we perceive through the five senses—is created on unconscious fear. Just how can this be? By the power of our mind. Your head simply can only see what it believes, which is why we need to release false beliefs. In the long run, the spiritual journey becomes exactly about facing this unconscious fear. This is actually the transformation of the projected world into peace. Once we perceive something fearful, we are able to always allow ourselves to take the time to pause rather than react. By taking a moment to open our minds and invite Holy Spirit into our perception, we invite a miraculous shift in how exactly we see things, and we are able to begin to forget about habitual reacting and conditioned behaviors. We then begin to open up to inspiration.

Showers of Forever Love,

David
