Knowing We Are Alike

Knowing that we are alike: 

the promise was all I've ever wanted and didn't even know, those words spoken by Jesus in A Course in Miracles saying that if I truly wanted to be like him then he would help me. But it was the words that followed that struck so deep, feeling almost whispered to me - "knowing that we are alike"

and there is was,

enlightenment offered.

thirty plus years later and the second part of the promise has held true as well. Jesus says that if I wish to be different then he will wait for me to change my mind. There's infinite patience here, kindness, and I certainly have chosen to be different. 

yet he's always waited. 

Jesus is the symbol of the Christ mind, a personal figure of my connection to God residing as a light within me. I was very much surprised by his presence, expecting perhaps a more esoteric figure, a myth from yogic lore, or maybe a laughing Buddha to guide me. But it seems I needed Jesus, and there's a forgiveness lesson here. I'm being shown that my every previous story, literally about everything I've ever believed...have always been misperceived. 

so Jesus still waits for me to change my mind, ever patient, always kind, and never once rushing me to reach outside my place of comfort. I'm learning to trust that his words are true, we are alike because we're both from the singular source of absolute love. That's the promise, nothing less than enlightenment being offered to me,

and finally now...I'm accepting his help.

knowing that we are alike.
