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


"Ahhhhhh Beloved One, you have come 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 to do with our Eternal Oneness. There is truly nothing to be "done" to get ready for the Holy Instant. Simply desire It wholly and It's Experienced Instantly.

Remember Christ has called this a trip without distance to an objective 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'll need do nothing. It could be much more profitable now merely to concentrate on this than to take into account everything you should do." (ACIM T-18.VII.5 :4-6) You will find passages in the Text, the Workbook, and the Manual for Teachers the period straight to the Holy Instant, for your head that is willing.

 

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

The phrase "the script is written" features a pre-determined ring to it and a feeling 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 is the sole "time" to be Awake. Heaven seems to become a decision for your head which believes in opposites, yet Atonement is accurately described being an acceptance of what is Now. You cannot "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! Determined: no!

The concept of channeling was but an instrument of time. Channeling is therefore past. As with all concepts of linear time, channeling was dualistic, with source and scribe seeming to be apart. Yet the Oneness of the moment has no parts. Christ, being an Aftereffect of God, is One with God forever. The Oneness that is 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 concept was temporarily helpful. Yet it must be understood that the Holy Instant is Now the Point where all concepts are laid by.

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

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

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

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