Our function is to grant each other the awareness of each one’s wholeness. They are, always have been and always will be whole. This is inherent in our creation and cannot be undone no matter what we think about another. This is At-One-ment. The Course says this:
When you accept another’s guiltlessness you will see the Atonement in them. For by proclaiming it in them you make it yours, and you will see what you sought. You will not see the symbol of another’s guiltlessness shining within them while you still believe it is not there. Accepting another’s guiltlessness is your Atonement. Grant it to them, and you will see the truth of what you have acknowledged. Yet truth is offered first to be received, even as the One gave it first to Us. T-14.IV.1.1-6
Our decision to see with our spirit eyes, to allow Spirit to guide our vision, is the beginning of the return to the awareness of who we really are. Once we recognize the wholeness within each other, our own wholeness is evident. None of us has ever become un-whole. We have simply thought and believed that we are not whole. This really begins when we begin to believe that someone else is not whole. It matters not in reality what anything appears to be in the world of form. We are all whole once we look beyond the appearance of the temporal world we think is real. At-One-ment is seeing beyond what the temporal world – illusion – appears to be.
The state of guiltlessness is simply the condition in which what is not there is removed from the disordered mind that thought it was there. This is the state we must attain, and we must attain it with the One beside us. For until we do, we will think that we are separate from the One. Oneness cannot be taught. It cannot be achieved or even rationalized in our egoic thought system. Learning of Oneness applies only to the condition in which the awareness of Oneness happens of itself. We set the conditions for awareness to happen by releasing our attachment to the beliefs we hold so dear about each other. We could even call this surrendering our separation beliefs and our desire for guilt and blame. Once we have let all that obscured the truth in our most holy mind be undone for us, and therefore stand in grace before the One, we are in Oneness, we are One. Ask not for forgiveness, for that is accomplished. Ask, rather, to learn to forgive, restoring what always was to your unforgiving mind. This is At-One-ment.
Before you make any decisions for yourself, remember that you have decided against your function in Heaven, and then consider carefully whether you want to make decisions here. Your function here is only to decide against deciding what you want, in recognition that you do not know. How, then, can you decide what you should do? Leave all decisions to Spirit Who speaks for the One, and for your function as Spirit knows it. So will Spirit teach you to remove the awful burden you have laid upon yourself by loving not each other, and trying to teach them guilt instead of love. Give up this frantic and insane attempt that cheats you of the joy of living with your Creator, and of waking gladly to One’s Love and Holiness that join together as the truth in you, making you one with All. T-14.IV.5.1-6
Be Love in a loveless place and shine away all lovelessness. Be light in a place of darkness and shine away all darkness. Lovelessness and darkness fade into nothing in the presence of love and light. Grant each other the gift of the awareness of their guiltlessness, for this is our function in this world. This is our function in the At-One-ment. The joy that is within us rises from deep within us were it has always been, waiting to be set free.
