What are we willing to choose, misery or joy? This is a choice between ourselves and an illusion of ourselves. What is our true desire? Sure, we all want joy, and no one wants misery. Yet we tend to be unwilling to completely let go of the familiar misery to step into joy. Joy and misery cannot co-exist. If we don’t know what to let go of, let go of everything. What is real will remain. What is misery will fade into nothingness. When we truly let go of everything, joy will rise in the place misery was. Attaining joy, love and peace is possible.
This is a crucial period in this course, for here the separation of you and the ego must be made complete. For if you have the means to let the Holy Spirit’s purpose be accomplished, they can be used. And through their use will you gain faith in them. Yet to the ego this must be impossible, and no one undertakes to do what holds no hope of ever being done. You know what your Creator wills is possible, but what you made believes it is not so. Now must you choose between yourself and an illusion of yourself. Not both, but one. There is no point in trying to avoid this one decision. It must be made. Faith and belief can fall to either side, but reason tells you misery lies only on one side and joy upon the other. T-22.II.6:1-10
When you make this choice, do not forget that you are also making this choice for your brother, your sister, your friend. We are all One and so we cannot leave each other behind. Joy is not just for the few, but for all and cannot be realized or recognized in separation. It is recognized in joining. It is recognized in Oneness. True joy is shared by all of creation. True joy is meaningless unless we recognize it in all. Offer each other joy. Joy is limitless and permeates everything – all reality. The deepness of joy is unfathomable. It is either wholly true or wholly false and thus is either experienced wholly or not at all. We have been waiting to choose between the joy of Heaven and the misery of hell. Until we choose Heaven, we are in hell and misery.
There is no part of Heaven you can take and weave into illusions. Nor is there one illusion you can enter Heaven with. A savior cannot be a judge, nor mercy condemnation. And vision cannot damn, but only bless. Whose function is to save, will save. How Spirit will do it is beyond your understanding, but when must be your choice. For time you made, and time you can command. You are no more a slave to time than to the world you made. T-22.II.8:1-8
It is your choice and no one else’s. It is not another’s choice that you reluctantly go along with. It must be your free choice. Your friends are waiting for you to make that choice and begin to see their holiness along with your own. Release the blocks to the flow of love in all your relationships, allowing healing, and transforming all to holy relationships. Here we enter the gates of Heaven. Here we leave behind even the concept of hell. Joy is our holy destiny. Make the choice to let go of every barrier to the flow of that joy now.
