Holiness abides within us in perfect peace. Do we recognize this about ourselves? Do we recognize this in each other? Our journey in this world is to reawaken to this perfect existence within us. We have spent a lifetime learning to believe in an identity in littleness. It’s what we have been taught and it’s what we have chosen to believe over the magnitude of our true Self. There is no blame or guilt. Our parents, our teachers, our priests and pastors, our friends and our brothers and sisters did the best they knew at the time. We even did the best we could at the time with the information and guidance we had. There was no damage or injury. We just made incorrect decisions in how we perceived the world we thought we saw. Holiness and perfect peace have always been within each and every one of us. Our grandeur has always been within us waiting to be recognized. The truth in us has been waiting for us simply to join together in Spirit and allow Spirit to guide us to the recognition of who we really are.
Accept now who and what you truly are. Allow Spirit to guide you in the discovery of the truth about who you are. Allow yourself to see that truth in all you encounter and see. We have accepted the idea of littleness about ourselves. Can we not accept something better? Spirit is waiting and, yes, calling to us to look with Spirit eyes on our wholeness, our completeness, our grandeur and magnitude. Can we not listen with our Spirit ears to this call and accept this truth about ourselves? It is really that simple if we are willing to let go of our attachment to what we think we see and believe and open our minds to the possibility of the idea of our greatness? We are One with the One, our Source. What could be greater than that?
We are on a journey to Love. Everything, everyone, every experience we encounter is a step on our spiritual journey. We choose how we see each element on that journey. We can choose to see an experience with difficulty in separation alone or we can choose to allow Spirit to guide us to the Love and Joy and Perfect Peace welling up beneath every thought. If we are wholly willing to leave salvation to the plan of the One and unwilling to attempt to grasp for peace ourselves, salvation will be given us in an instant.
Here is what the Course calls us to do:
Call forth in everyone only the remembrance of the One, and of the Heaven that is in each of us. For where you would have another be, there will you think you are. Hear not another’s appeal to hell and littleness, but only their call for Heaven and greatness. Forget not that their call is yours, and answer them with me. The One’s power is forever on the side of the One’s host, us, for it protects only the peace in which the One dwells. Lay not littleness before the One’s holy altar, which rises above the stars and reaches even to Heaven, because of what is given it. T-15.III.12.1-6
We do not do this alone. To call only to ourselves is futile. We call to each other to join and enter the awareness that we are all One. To join in Oneness is to remember who we really are and recognize the magnitude and grandeur of our Oneness. Now is the time. Let it be now and enter into this holy instant together.
