The Holy Encounter



Glory to God in the highest, and to you because He has so willed it.

Ask and it shall be given you, because it has already been given. Ask for light and learn that you are light.

If you want understanding and enlightenment you will learn it, because your decision to learn it is the decision to listen to the Teacher Who knows of light, and can therefore teach it to you.

There is no limit on your learning because there is no limit on your mind. There is no limit on His teaching because He was created to teach. Understanding His function perfectly He fulfills it perfectly, because that is His joy and yours.

To fulfill the Will of God perfectly is the only joy and peace that can be fully known, because it is the only function that can be fully experienced.
 
When this is accomplished, then, there is no other experience. Yet the wish for other experience will block its accomplishment, because God's Will cannot be forced upon you, being an experience of total willingness.
 
The Holy Spirit understands how to teach this, but you do not. That is why you need Him, and why God gave Him to you.
 
Only His teaching will release your will to God's, uniting it with His power and glory and establishing them as yours. You share them as God shares them, because this is the natural outcome of their being.

Travelling in Time


We travel in Time. Yes even in the fabric of space/time, a self made dream, an interpretation of our observation we travel in varies speeds.

Sometimes 3 minutes is so long and 3 hours speed past depending on our acceptance or rejection of ourselves.

But we are unable to break the barrier of gravity in which our thoughts are binding us as human beings, a specie trapped seemingly in the idea of being separate of God.

All dream sequences are a trying to break the boundary of our containment, an endless repetition until it dawns unmistakenly that it is futile.

A glorious instant, an  acknowledgement that a greater power will restore me to sanity, A Course in Miracles is the idea that I am not bound by gravity, that I Am the Light of the World and that as Light I can travel to all the spaces of the past Here and Now.

When I join with my Brother, I travel to other stairs, vibrations of memory patterns revealing only the Love of God

Yet when two or more join together in searching for truth, the ego can no longer defend its lack of content. The fact of union tells them it is not true.

The plan of God is awesome in its recognition

God's plan is simple; never circular and never self-defeating.

He has no Thoughts except the Self-extending, and in this your will must be included. Thus, there must be a part of you that knows His Will and shares it.

It is not meaningful to ask if what must be is so. But it is meaningful to ask why you are unaware of what is so, for this must have an answer if the plan of God for your salvation is complete.

And it must be complete, because its Source knows not of incompletion.

My Fathers House has many Mansions

In all the places as time and space of my mind I am its King. Until I saw  how cruelly I ruled myself and the world I seemed to live in. No location was ever a home in which I found myself in rest and peace.

In A Course in Miracles I was given this idea.

Error cannot really threaten truth, which can always withstand it. Only the error is actually vulnerable.

You are free to establish your kingdom where you see fit, but the right choice is inevitable if you remember this: Spirit is in a state of grace forever Your reality is only spirit.
Therefore you are in a state of grace forever.'

Then I discover that I am wandering from place to place and never find a rest, wherever I locate myself  I lack the recognition of myself and the other forms who I perceive as strangers. And so my journey now begins anew.

That is why the inspiration of Jesus is so powerful in the idea: "Seek you first the Kingdom." That place He prepared and is a Timeless Ray of Light  waiting to be filled with those for whom it was designed.

This place, this mansion is already perfect and whole waiting to be filled with my acceptance of my brothers as myself. Jesus as the first man seeing the unreality of the thought-form of space/time did demonstrate only the truth that His Father is His creative source.

Jesus walked the talk, He never ever forgot the Love that is all there is for The Sons of God

The Father gives, the Son returns

It is hard to understand what "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you" really means. This is because it is not understandable to the ego, which interprets it as if something outside is inside, and this does not mean anything.

The word "within" is unnecessary. The Kingdom of Heaven is you. What else but you did the Creator create, and what else but you is His Kingdom?

This is the whole message of the Atonement; a message which in its totality transcends the sum of its parts. You, too, have a Kingdom that your spirit created.

It has not ceased to create because of the ego's illusions. Your creations are no more fatherless than you are.

Your ego and your spirit will never be co-creators, but your spirit and your Creator will always be. Be confident that your creations are as safe as you are.

The idea of a Miracles


The idea of a Miracle being a correction is simply an astonishing idea. That we as teachers of God have in our hand a manual that inspires us to use all happenings that we perceive as ourself.

The microcosm and the macrocosm, in or out

Ideas are given, ideas that are timeless vibrations, like the great rays that bring each one of us in a recognition a frame of Light, not of this world, in which all is revealed as new

Light and Power are one, and the language of this Course is a design that never bores ever renewes me because it is Life Itself

In all our memories lies the element of a collapse waiting to be asked: as Jesus said:"  Ask and you shall receive."
An action of mind in the willingness to be responsible for all events, situations, and cicumstances a vigilance that is sooo powerful that I am in the only dimension of time that has any meaning ...the idea of NOW
We use the ideas and to are immense surprise they work, they do the work to bring into our awareness the Grace of God, the Peace that passeth understanding. An awakening from the idea of not yet being ready to receive.

Miracles are teaching devices for demonstrating it is as blessed to give as to receive. They simultaneously increase the strength of the giver and supply strength to the receiver.

In preparing for the holy instant, do not attempt to make yourself holy to be ready to receive it.

That is but to confuse your role with God's. Atonement cannot come to those who think that they must first atone, but only to those who offer it nothing more than simple willingness to make way for it.

Purification is of God alone, and therefore for you. Rather than seek to prepare yourself for Him, try to think thus:


I who am host to God am worthy of Him. He Who established His dwelling place in me created it as He would have it be.


It is not needful that I make it ready for Him, but only that I do not interfere with His plan to restore to me my own awareness of my readiness, which is eternal.


I need add nothing to His plan. But to receive it, I must be willing not to substitute my own in place of it.

God is not a stranger


And so all I need to call His Name and there He Is.

The distance between Him and His Son is not there, it is an imagination, magic, a fabrication that is mindless, destruction and uncreative.

The Name of God spoken in that instant of Love for the Father is a sound that transcend all boundaries of space/time. 

All ideas respond in allignment in that name, a recognition of the Power-Love of the Father for His Sons.

How strange I once perceived a distance between God and myself, a barrier that held me in prison, roaming in repetition to find the door I could not remember, but also could not forget totally.

How grateful I am to have been given again and again ideas in the key of salvation, ACIM, a book with white paper and black letters that I can open and communication is restored in my awareness that bring me in ever widening experiences that God Is all there Is.

(manual for teachers) God indeed can be reached directly, for there is no distance between Him and His Son.
 
His awareness is in everyone's memory, and His Word is written on everyone's heart. Yet this awareness and this memory can arise across the threshold of recognition only where all barriers to truth have been removed. In how many is this the case?
 
Here, then, is the role of God's teachers. They, too, have not attained the necessary understanding as yet, but they have joined with others.
 
This is what sets them apart from the world. And it is this that enables others to leave the world with them. Alone they are nothing.
 
But in their joining is the Power of God.

time steps aside


The purpose of time is to enable you to learn how to use time constructively. (a miracle principle)

All Ideas in A Course in Miracles direct me to experience how I stretch the idea of time and space by the naming of the forms of the dream.

I am aware that in the varying naming I slow down or speed up but always in a narrow range unable to depart from that structure.

No matter what I tried in this dream I could not see that I was the barrier that the fabric of that expanding and collapsing structure itself was the prison.

How thrilling to be connected in an instant with that self-discovery of the ideas at the beginning  of chapter 10:

"Nothing beyond yourself can make you fearful or loving, because nothing is beyond you.

Time and eternity are both in your mind, and will conflict until you perceive time solely as a means to regain eternity.

You cannot do this as long as you believe that anything happening to you is caused by factors outside yourself.

You must learn that time is solely at your disposal, and that nothing in the world can take this responsibility from you. You can violate God's laws in your imagination, but you cannot escape from them.

They were established for your protection and are as inviolate as your safety.

To be in the 'NOW' in the action of being aware of the stretching and collapsing element of my mind in space and time. The speed in which I can be the responsibility of all the forms in my dream is the joy of Atonement.

Now I see I needed more forms of the denial of myself to increase the widening of my awareness. The Holy Spirit is ever vigilant to guide that idea and will bring each day plenty of opportunities to be amazed again how I am the limitation

Impersonal nature of Miracles

The impersonal nature of the miracle is an essential ingredient, because it enables me to direct its application, and under my guidance miracles lead to the highly personal experience of revelation.
The amazing idea of the impersonal nature of the Miracle as a collapse of time and space and all that it contained is in the awareness that the Universe is One.

Love does not know of personalities or individuals in the idea of separation that are struggling in the fabric of limited thoughts.

The Universe-God-truth only gives. His Son being the extension as the Miracle Worker is needed to extend this Love to all who he meets in his journey through space/time.

The Communication was never broken between God and His Sons. The lessons of acim workbook are the key to restore the awareness of that communication. A wonder of universal design .

The willingness to step back from the storms in my mind is now so attractive that it is ever a present action. I am invited  fromn Myself to myself to join with that rise in my consciousness to see a greater picture. The Brotherhood of man.

God's Voice speaks to me all through the day.


It is quite possible to listen to God's Voice all through the day without interrupting your regular activities in any way.

The part of your mind in which truth abides is in constant communication with God, whether you are aware of it or not. It is the other part of your mind that functions in the world and obeys the world's laws.
It is this part that is constantly distracted, disorganized and highly uncertain.


The part that is listening to the Voice for God is calm, always at rest and wholly certain. It is really the only part there is.

The other part is a wild illusion, frantic and distraught, but without reality of any kind.

Try today not to listen to it. Try to identify with the part of your mind where stillness and peace reign forever.

Try to hear God's Voice call to you lovingly, reminding you that your Creator has not forgotten His Son.
