From Way of the Heart, Lesson 6
When are you going to decide to live the decision to be awake in God, to be only the presence of Love?
I and my Father are one Only love is real Nothing else matters
Nothing holds value except your relationship with your creator
Accept the truth that what you desire beyond all things is the living experience of Love
Father I surrender Bring to me whatever I must experience to bring up from the depths of the places within me where I have hidden it every obstacle that must yet be dissolved by the light of the grace of perfect love I will love myself enough to heal my separation from God.
You will finally look heavenward and say, Father, let’s get on with it. Enough time has been wasted. It’s gone, it’s fine, it doesn’t matter. Now! I am committed to Love. Bring on whatever I must experience to bring up from the depth—the places where I’ve hidden it within me—every obstacle that must yet be dissolved by the light of the grace of perfect Love. And I will do whatever I can, from my side of the fence, to open up those places, to feel those places, to embrace those places, to love those places, to claim those places as wholly self-created. I will everyone else off the hook. And I will love myself enough to heal my separation from God. I will be humble enough to recognize that if I’m having an experience—because I know I have made the commitment to healing—then you have indeed, precious Father, brought me all good things. For this moment of experience can be seen through eyes that recognize that it is but a stepping stone to the perfect peace that I seek. My life is no longer mine, for I know not how to correct that one fundamental error. But I can surrender into feeling each moment fully while choosing Love anyway. And Love will dissolve the pain that I have carried, all because I insisted on trying to separate myself from the Source of my being. This little gnat of mine is being put to rest. For the only thing that can shine is Christ.”
(From Early Years - Holy Spirit) I relinquish the world I have created in ignorance Please release from me every limitation and block to the presence of God’s love in my being Help me see and learn that I am unlimited forever and not contained within a body.
Prayer of Relinquishing & Opening
Father, I know not what I have done, I know not how I have dreamed the dream of separation from you, but I relinquish it. I acknowledge that I do not know what a single thing is or what it’s for, I know not the moment of my own creation, and therefore I surrender into the radiance and purity of your peace and your love. I open my self to receive only you. This alone I am asked to do of you, and this alone I choose. Grant me that wisdom and that strength and that passion by which I might learn to use time constructively as a sacrament of surrender of all that has been unlike love within me. You are the way, the truth, and the light. And I return to the sacred place of our union. I remain as you have created me to be. - The Early Years, Choose To See
The Separation Never Occurred
“God’s Son is guiltless, and in his innocence is his salvation.”
“Unbroken and uninterrupted love flows constantly between the Father and the Son, as Both would have it be. And so it is.” - ACIM
The Correction
Into this hopeless and closed learning situation, which teaches nothing but despair and death, God sends His teachers. [CE M-In.5:1]
“Unshaken does the Holy Spirit look on what you see; on sin and pain and death, on grief and separation and on loss. Yet does He know one thing must still be true; God is still Love, and this is not His Will.”
One Tiny Tick of Time
“According to A Course in Miracles, the separation lasted only a microsecond, a “tiny tick of time.”?” This tiny instant contained the single error of the separation: the choice for separateness over oneness, for death over life. And it contained this error fragmented into billions of separate situations and events, as if this one error were seen refracted in a kaleidoscope. Each situation and event was a fractured version of the original error. Then, into this primordial moment God shone His single Correction for our single error. This Correction (the Holy Spirit), though single, adapted Itself to every variation of that error. It took the specific form needed for each specific situation: ”The tiny tick of time in which the first mistake was made, and all of them within that one mistake, held also the Correction for that one, and all of them that came within the first.” - RP & ACIM
