A Course in Miracles Online - ACIM – Foundation for Awakening Mind

[Micheal Jorden]

"Ahhhhhh Beloved One, you came upon the DEEPEST teaching on Being Awake! You are the One Now, and nothing of linear time that seems to be thought, said, done, or imagined has anything regarding our Eternal Oneness. There is truly nothing to be "done" to prepare for the Holy Instant. Simply desire It wholly and It is Experienced Instantly.

 

Remember Christ has called this a trip without distance to a goal that's never changed. Remember the section in Chapter 18 of acim titled. "I Need Do Nothing" and the instruction "You are prepared. Now you need but to keep in mind you will need do nothing. It would be far more profitable now merely to concentrate on this than to take into account what you should do." (ACIM T-18.VII.5 :4-6) You will find passages in the Text, the Workbook, and the Manual for Teachers that time right to the Holy Instant, for the mind that's willing.

 

 

In the timeless moment, the Holy Instant, you can find no contradictions. Cause and Effect are together, and thus there is no gap between them. What does this mean? It indicates that there's no "past" which "causes" a "future," for only a brilliant, clear, shining moment remains in "memory." It indicates everything exists simultaneously this very moment and that nothing may be "pulled apart" from the Whole.

 

The phrase "the script is written" has a pre-determined ring to it and an expression of destiny. Yes, this world was over long ago. Yes, what is past has gone. Yes, Christ is Real and ever-Present. And yes, Now's the only real "time" to be Awake. Heaven seems to be always a decision for the mind which believes in opposites, yet Atonement is accurately described being an acceptance of what is Now. You can't "prepare" for It without "placing It in the future." That's why surrender is necessary. Surrender the idea that anything with this world may be figured out. Forgiven: yes! Found out: no!

 

The thought of channeling was but a tool of time. Channeling is therefore past. Much like all concepts of linear time, channeling was dualistic, with source and scribe seeming to be apart. The Oneness of the minute doesn't have parts. Christ, being an Effectation of God, is One with God forever. The Oneness that's God and Christ in God is Everything. Heaven is Abstract Light and extends as Eternal Creation. To the "extent" that any transitory concept seemed to point beyond all concepts to the Real, the style was temporarily helpful. Yet it must certanly be understood that the Holy Instant is Now the Point at which all concepts are laid by.

 

Now's the time of the Great Awakening. For the willing mind, the Kingdom of Heaven reaches hand. The Kingdom is recognized in the Divine Silence. The Experience is beyond words. Love is really a State of Mind Which knows no "other." Very literally, the Self is Christ is One.

 

You need do nothing to Be as You already are. What You have is Who You are. God gives Everything in Creation, and Everything is You. Nothing may be put into Our Perfection in God. The Grace of God could be the Gift of Creation. "I am" can't, will not need to, won't be earned or achieved. "I am" simply Is. "I am" is before time was. And this is "why" You need do nothing to Be as You already are. Such could be the Simple Truth.

 

Love and Blessings because the One Christ forever in the Mind of God

You are the One. And as You recognize the One, You recognize the Most of God."
