We have been looking at the illusion and the reality of love. How could love be both illusion and realty? We have made up a false idea of love in an effort to thwart hate or at least keep ourselves safe from hate. Pursuing a love that recognizes hate as real denies us the awareness of real love. Hate cannot exist in the presence of real love, for real love is all there is. In reality, hate just isn’t. Eternal or unconditional love is all consuming. It is what we are. Love is the state of Heaven and who and what we are. We can’t get rid of real love, but we can deny it by thinking that hate exists and thus blocking our awareness of love. We may think we can overcome hate by defeating it with love that tries to defeat hate. But any love that tries to defeat hate is as illusory as the hate it seeks to overcome.
We have been told of the bridge to our union with our Self.
The bridge that leads to union in yourself must lead to knowledge, for it was built with the One beside you, and will lead you straight to the One where your completion rests, wholly compatible with the One’s completeness. Every illusion you accept into your mind by judging it to be attainable removes your own sense of completion, and thus denies the Wholeness of your Creator. Every fantasy, be it of love or hate, deprives you of knowledge for fantasies are the veil behind which truth is hidden. To lift the veil that seems so dark and heavy, it is only needful to value truth beyond all fantasy, and to be entirely unwilling to settle for illusion in place of truth. T-16.IV.10:1-4
We have chosen to settle for illusion through our denial of our Oneness. In settling we have chosen to believe we are limited, broken and less than holy. We have chosen to believe that we are less than who and what we really are. Because of that choice, we ae unaware of the truth of who we are. We have blocked our awareness of our divine nature and all that entails. The Holy Spirit -the Higher Holy Spirit Self – within us is waiting for us to decide we are willing to change our perception of ourselves and rejoin with each other in the awareness of our Oneness again. There is nothing to lose but our unhappiness and fear. There is nothing for us to lose except the illusions we hold about ourselves and this world. Who would not want to rejoin this Oneness?
The quality of our relationships tells us where we have placed our allegiance. Are we aligned with our special hate and love relationships? Are these special relationships giving us the peace and joy and love we are seeking? Are they opening us to the divine nature within us? This needless journey is nearly over. Take the hand of Spirit and turn firmly away from all illusions now, and let nothing stand in the way of truth. We will take the last useless journey away from truth together, and then together we go straight to the One, in joyous answer to the One’s Call for our completion.
If special relationships of any kind would hinder the One’s completion, can they have any value to you? What would interfere with the One must interfere with you. Only in time does interference in the One’s completion seem to be possible. The bridge that the One would carry you across lifts you from time into eternity. Waken from time, and answer fearlessly the Call of the One Who gave eternity to you in your creation. On this side of the bridge to timelessness you understand nothing. But as you step lightly across it, upheld by timelessness, you are directed straight to the Heart of the One. At its center, and only there, you are safe forever, because you are complete forever. There is no veil the Love of the One in us together cannot lift. The way to truth is open. Follow it with me. T-16.IV.13:1-11
There is no more need for hate or a love that tries to defeat hate. The timelessness and limitlessness of our Divine nature is within us. It has always been within us. Let go of the illusion of love our special relationships appear to give us and look within to the perfection that is there as we join with each other in eternal love. And allow that love to be evident in all we say and do. Allow yourself to step on that bridge to completion and allow yourself to be carried there. This is your way home.
