Lesson 131 –
No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth.
We cannot fail to find truth if we seek truth. Have we succeeded? If not, what are we seeking? Perhaps what we are actively seeking is not truth and so we fail to find truth. Something to think about. Or, perhaps we are looking in all the wrong places. Perhaps we are looking outside ourselves. Nothing real is outside ourselves. Have we tried looking within? The Course tells us time and time again that what we seek is already within us. We already have it. We may be inadvertently searching for the impermanent when we really want the permanent. Even if we believe the impermanent to be permanent, it is not and will never be permanent. I think all of us really want permanence. We want the truth. We want what is eternal. We want what we already are but don’t realize it yet. What we want is nearer than we realize. We are still free to choose a goal that lies beyond the world and every worldly thought, and one that comes to us from an idea relinquished yet remembered, old yet new; an echo of a heritage forgotten, yet holding everything we really want.
No one remains in hell, for no one can abandon their Creator, nor affect their Creator’s perfect, timeless and unchanging Love. You will find Heaven. Everything you seek but this will fall away. Yet not because it has been taken from you. It will go because you do not want it. You will reach the goal you really want as certainly as the One created you in sinlessness. W-pI.131.5:1-6
Why wait? What we seek is here today. Heaven remains our one alternative to this strange world we made; its shifting patterns and uncertain goals, its painful pleasures and its tragic joys. Heaven is waiting for us to accept its existence. It is always there in our mind waiting for us to remove the blocks to our awareness of it and allow its peace and joy to rise up in us. This is the Truth we seek. It is ours for the asking. It is waiting for nothing more than our acceptance and willingness. Look for that door, right in front of you. Spirit is ready to show it to us. Be ready.
Put out your hand, and see how easily the door swings open with your one intent to go beyond it. Angels light the way, so that all darkness vanishes, and you are standing in a light so bright and clear that you can understand all things you see. A tiny moment of surprise, perhaps, will make you pause before you realize the world you see before you in the light reflects the truth you knew, and did not quite forget in wandering away in dreams. W-pI.131.13:1-3
We cannot fail. This is our choice which has been offered us by the One. This is the choice made in light, revealed by Spirit and offering us Truth. Everything we need and want is here. It reveals our holiness, our completeness, our wholeness. We want for nothing here in Heaven, our home on earth. Ask and trust. We are worthy. All this is our inheritance for it is created with us and can never be taken away. Relax. Take a step of faith into the truth you seek. It is wholly yours shared in Oneness with the Creator and all Creation. Say yes, open the door and walk through it into the light of truth.
