The truth is that we are powerful. Yet because we have tried to keep power for ourselves we have “lost” it. We have denied the truth about who we really are and thus limited everything about ourselves. We interposed so much between our power and our awareness of it that we cannot use it. All that we have taught ourselves through our egouc thought system – the belief we are separate – have caused who we really are to become more and more obscure to us. We have made a semblance of power and a show of strength so pitiful that it can only fail us. Yet, all that stands between us and the power of the One within us is our learning the false and our attempts to undo what is true about us.
Be willing, then, for all of it to be undone, and be glad that you are not bound to it forever. For you have taught yourself how to imprison the One Self, a lesson so unthinkable that only the insane, in deepest sleep, could even dream of it. Can the One learn how not to be the One? And can You, given all power by the One, learn to be powerless? What have you taught yourself that you can possibly prefer to keep, in place of what you have and what you are? T-14.XI.2.1-5
Surrender all, then, to Spirit who will strip away the false notions we have attached our minds to and correct our seeing – our perception – opening our minds to the awareness of who we really are and the truth within us. At-One-ment teaches us everything we need to escape forever from the limitation of everything we have ever learned in the past by showing us only what we truly are now. The past disappears in the light of truth whenever we allow our eyes to be opened. Let everything go. Do not even try to attempt to choose or judge what is true or false. Release it all to the light of Spirit. Truth is revealed in light and all that is false fades to nothing. But be sure to bring it all to the light. What we hide from the light will continue to limit us. Complete release of darkness is necessary to the disappearance of all darkness. This lesson shines with the One’s glory, for in it lies true power which the One gladly shares with us.
You have one test, as sure as the One, by which to recognize if what you learned is true. If you are wholly free of fear of any kind, and if all those who meet or even think of you share in your perfect peace, then you can be sure that you have learned the One’s lesson, and not your own. Unless all this is true, there are dark lessons in your mind that hurt and hinder you, and everyone around you. The absence of perfect peace means but one thing: You think you do not will for each other what their Creator wills for them. Every dark lesson teaches this, in one form or another. And each bright lesson with which the Holy Spirit will replace the dark ones you do not accept, teaches you that you will with the One and Oneness. T-14.XI.5.1-6
Release all to Spirit so all darkness may vanish from your minds. Leave no dark corner of your mind hidden for there is no darkness at all. Allow perfect peace to fill your mind. Allow it to banish any false ideas from you mind. Be wholly free of fear and know you have recognized the truth about who you really are. Step into this awareness and remember your true One Self.
