This passage opened my eyes. It is a necessary confrontation with the human mind that is addicted to justifying itself in sequential time/space. This habit is only a delaying tactic to avoid the inevitable realization of the present Truth of our eternal Self. Simply by allowing this confrontation to occur, and not defending against it, a change happens....the Way opens spontaneously, through grace. The sudden shift is referred to as a miracle. This beautiful transmission is from the "Advaita Vedanta of the West"...the non-dual teaching of Christ consciousness, transmitted from the enlightened mind of Jeshua (Jesus), called A Course in Miracles. It is the "Yoga of the Christ." It is a springboard to the immediate experience of enlightenment...which is "a simple recognition, not a change at all." Enter into this universal experience with me now, be reunited and realize the ever-present, limitless peace that is your natural inheritance...En
"Why wait for Heaven? Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes. The light is in them now. Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all. Light is not of the world, yet you who bear the light in you are alien here as well. The light came with you from your native home, and stayed with you because it is your own. It is the only thing you bring with you from Him Who is your Source. It shines in you because it lights your home, and leads you back to where it came from and you are at home.
This light can not be lost. Why wait to find it in the future, or believe it has been lost already, or was never there? It can so easily be looked upon that arguments which prove it is not there become ridiculous. Who can deny the presence of what he beholds in him? It is not difficult to look within, for there all vision starts. There is no sight, be it of dreams or from a truer Source, that is not but the shadow of the seen through inward vision. There perception starts, and there it ends. It has no source but this."

This moment is a "clean untarnished birth" indeed, as expressed so beautifully in the divine masterpiece and catalyst for enlightenment, A Course in Miracles. In this experience of new birth, inspiration to write is coming again. Let's see what surprises appear! A celestial speedup is in progress, as I am sure you are well aware. And yet, I am constantly drawn back to this present moment...to the simplicity of healing and Self-discovery that is always occurring. I discover it in the silence of my inner altar, and it increases in my awareness as I express it.
For now, I offer the inspiring passage quoted here above with profound love and gratitude for your emerging light in this great awakening - for all the gifts you bring. Now we dive into the present, and allow all to be re-aligned in the light of Truth...
"Fear is not of the present, but only of the past and future, which do not exist. There is no fear in the present when each instant stands clear and separated from the past, without its shadow reaching out into the future. Each instant is a clean, untarnished birth, in which the Son of God (YOU) emerges from the past into the present. And the present extends forever. It is so beautiful and so clean and free of guilt that nothing but happiness is there. No darkness is remembered, and immortality and joy are now."
-A Course in Miracles, Ch. 15 The Two Uses of Time
What an invitation to a whole new realm of possibility! Take heart. There is a shimmering and perfect, creative Reality that enfolds us even now. It is untouched by anything here. You are not left alone in a world of separation, fear, pain, chaos, uncertainty and death. There is a way out. The door is open wide to welcome you. Complete, radical forgiveness is the key. Our timeless Reality beyond words and worlds is calling. Indescribable peace, love, joy and freedom are our natural inheritance. Take my hand now and lets re-discover...it's time to come Home!
Below is the link to read and meditate on the entire passage referenced here, and discover anew this timeless, universal experience which transcends all concepts and religious theologies entirely. This living Word has the power and light to spark a quantum shift in consciousness...to transport you to real freedom. All it takes is your desire for only that...and a perhaps a little willingness ;)
