The belief in sin has, as a necessity, the notion that sin is more powerful than God and Oneness. It assumes that it can make its own reality different than that of Oneness. It has, at its core, the belief that we are not as we are created and that it is possible to create a reality other than love and peace and joy. It believes we can create a reality different from reality. Does that sound insane? It is, yet we believe it is possible. We seem to want to create a world of misery for ourselves, even if it costs us our happiness. Separation is unhappy simply because we deny much of ourselves and who we really are in order to see ourselves as separate. As we blame others and/or God for our unhappiness, we increasingly block our mind from happiness and reinforce our belief in our separateness. We continually deny our happiness found naturally in the Oneness of all Creation.
If our separated identity were real, each part of this fragmented “creation” would have a different will, opposed to the Creator’s will, and in eternal opposition to the One and to each other. Our holy relationship has, as its purpose now, the goal of proving this is impossible. Heaven has smiled upon our holy relationship, and the belief in sin has been uprooted in its smile of love. We see a fragmented world still, because we do not realize that its foundation has gone. Its source has been removed, and so it can be cherished but a little while before it vanishes. Only the habit of looking for it remains.
And yet you look with Heaven’s smile upon your lips, and Heaven’s blessing on your sight. You will not see sin long. For in the new perception the mind corrects it when it seems to be seen, and it becomes invisible. Errors are quickly recognized and quickly given to correction, to be healed, not hidden. You will be healed of sin and all its ravages the instant that you give it no power over anyone else. And you will help them overcome mistakes by joyously releasing them from the belief in sin. T-19.III.9:1-6
Again, we find the promise of the holy instant waiting to give us a glimpse of Heaven’s smile. It may come when we’re least expecting it. Look deeply beyond any appearance of sin to the smile of Heaven beyond.
In the holy instant, you will see the smile of Heaven shining on both you and another. And you will shine upon them, in glad acknowledgment of the grace that has been given you. For sin will not prevail against a union Heaven has smiled upon. Your perception was healed in the holy instant Heaven gave you. Forget what you have seen, and raise your eyes in faith to what you now can see. The barriers to Heaven will disappear before your holy sight, for you who were sightless have been given vision, and you can see. Look not for what has been removed, but for the glory that has been restored for you to see. T-19.III.10:1-7
Look to Spirit within you and behold what would be shown to you in each other, and do not allow sin to arise again to blind your eyes. The belief in sin would keep you separate from them, but Spirit guides you to look upon another as yourself. Your holy relationship is now a temple of healing; a place where all who are weary can come and rest. Here is the rest that waits for all, after the journey. And it is brought nearer to all by your healed and now holy relationship. Sin is not real. The sooner we let go of our belief in sin, and see its unreality, the sooner we rejoin Heaven in Oneness and return to the peace, love and joy that has always been within us. As the blinders of our belief in sin fall away, we step into the awareness of our holy Oneness and the Grandeur of Heaven. This is our reality, this is our true Home in eternity.
