We are created whole, complete, limitless and divine. This is our true nature, our essence, our being. We cannot change this beautiful state of being no matter how hard we try. We may expend great effort trying to create a world of our own separate from others and even separate from the One who created us – separate from Oneness. We endeavor to achieve the impossible by making ourselves unaware of our true Self and the infinite power we are. But Reality knows who we really are. Like a loving parent, Oneness waits patiently allowing us the free will to explore our idea of independence – separation – until we realize that we can wake up from this insane dream of separation and again become conscious of the divine being in Oneness we truly are. We try to limit everything in an attempt to get more, and yet we deny ourselves the awareness of our joined beingness.
Like to the sun and ocean your Self continues, unmindful that this tiny part regards itself as you. It is not missing; it could not exist if it were separate, nor would the Whole be whole without it. It is not a separate realm, ruled by an idea of separation from the rest. Nor does a fence surround it, preventing it from joining with the rest, and keeping it apart from its Creator. This little aspect is no different from the whole, being continuous with it and at one with it. It leads no separate life, because its life is the oneness in which its being was created. T-18.VIII.6:1-6
Do not accept this little fenced off aspect as who you are. It is not who you really are. It is, at best, a tiny little hint of who you are colored by many misperceptions that make you seem tiny – so limited. Do you really want to remain in this tiny garden? This tiny garden is not your realm. It offers you nothing you deserve. The fence you built around it only separates you from the awareness of the grandeur of Heaven all around you. You never left it, but you walled it off from your awareness.
Love knows no bodies, no fences, and reaches to everything created like itself. Its total lack of limit is its meaning. Love is completely impartial in its giving, encompassing only to preserve and keep complete what it would give. Should it not be in your tiny garden that you call on love to enter? And, thus, realize the life and joy that love would bring to you from where it comes, and where it would return with you.
The Thought of the One surrounds your little realm, waiting at the barrier you built to come inside and shine upon the barren ground. See how life springs up everywhere! The desert becomes a garden, green and deep and quiet, offering rest to those who lost their way and wander in the dust. Give them a place of refuge, prepared by love for them where once a desert was. And everyone you welcome will bring love with them from Heaven for you. They enter one by one into this holy place, but they will not depart as they had come, alone. The love they brought with them will stay with them, as it will stay with you. And under its beneficence your little garden will expand, and reach out to everyone who thirsts for living water, but has grown too weary to go on alone. T-18.VIII.9:1-8
We are not alone, nor have we ever been alone. We are One with all Creation. Oneness is our natural state. We cannot separate ourselves from Oneness. Let the fences fall around your little garden – the little world you have made separate – and rejoin in the awareness of the grandeur of Heaven in which we dwell even while we walk in this illusion of separation. Oneness – Unity – is our divine state of being. Choose to allow Oneness to rise in you and be all that you really are.
