Light

Light: 

I will there be light. (ACIM, W-73)

and there it is, the central plan of A Course in Miracles, casting light upon a world made dark by our own deepest grievances and judgements. Once, in my earlier Course days, this felt like an impossibility, or at best, a by passing technique that never truly addressed by darkest thoughts. The truth was, and sometimes still, is that I felt justified, even comforted by my darkness. 

it was just easier to blame others.

I love the Course lessons that give me a workable plan, an on the spot mantra that works to the bone of the matter and offers me a different view of a darkened world. But it's not easy, not at first and sometimes not later after years of practice either. But it's always worth the effort to truly see the light that shines from the world, being given back my own illumination through the willingness of seeing yours. 

Your picture of the world can only mirror what is within. ²The source of neither light nor darkness can be found without. ³Grievances darken your mind, and you look out on a darkened world. ⁴Forgiveness lifts the darkness, reasserts your will, and lets you look upon a world of light. ⁵We have repeatedly emphasized that the barrier of grievances is easily passed, and cannot stand between you and your salvation. ⁶The reason is very simple. ⁷Do you really want to be in hell? (ACIM, W-73.5:1-7)

so it's our thoughts that are the source of darkness.

our grievances have literally created hell.

and yet light is present.

love.

³I will there be light. ⁴Darkness is not my will. (ACIM, W-73.11:3-4)

and with this we'll meet in heaven.

right here.

now.

Heaven is Now

Heaven is now: 

my aim is to no longer leave a better world behind me, not even slightly, as that only suggests a single drop of relief within an ocean of continuing sorrow. The actual hope, a promise really, is that through my own awakening the world's transformed, heaven being it's reality, and then all of our suffering is left so far behind. In the world's affairs, there will always be samsara, karmic replay of our every cause and effect - and yet here is another way, a better way. 

heaven is now.

here.

and all we have to do....is see it.

Infinitely Onward

Infinitely onward: 

we can offer each other the kingdom, right now an extension of heaven is given just by this recognition, and it's with this gift that we proceed throughout the day. This isn't a metaphysical concept, nor spiritual technique to bring about a sense of peace, it's literal, heartfelt and heart extended. As we recognize ourselves as love, already at home within the kingdom of heaven -

our only wish becomes to share.

extending this gift to others...

infinitely

onward.

I love you, Eric
