Most of us, at one time or another, have experienced our Oneness with God and each other. And we remember it. It was so beautiful, peaceful, joyous, and freeing, we could never forget it. Most likely we have experienced that Oneness, that presence of God, many times and in many places. We may not even recognize it was the presence of the One, but we know it was peaceful and loving. We also know we want to experience it again and again.
What brought these cherished and remembered moments to us? What happened to bring this joy to us? We may associate these moments with being in nature, being with someone we love, being in a joyful place or situation. What these moments all have in common is that we let go of our association with the past. Just for a moment we let our guard down and opened our mind to something new, real, and present. Just for a moment we let go and were totally in the present moment. This is where God is, in the present moment. God is now, and so are we, for we are One with God.
But so much of our life is caught up in our association with and attachment to the past. So we return to our association with the past and are again unhappy. We long for that remembered bliss we experienced in that precious moment. This association with time, this identification with what is past, is the hindrance that keeps us from the full awareness of who we really are, the full awareness of our Oneness with God. The present is where we find our real Self and our connection and communication with God and all that is real.
But nothing is lost, nothing is hopeless or missed. We have experienced and remembered our Oneness in that present moment. We recognized the Truth, for it is within us. That present moment or moments brought us home and reminded us of who we really are. We can never go far from that remembrance. In that remembrance we stand in the borderland at the gates of the realm of Heaven. It is our choice when we allow our mind to open to the remembrance of Truth. It is our choice to allow Spirit to change our perception of the world we live in and transform it to that of the real world. We recognize our True Self in that transformation and know that we are free, healed, sinless, and One with God and all Creation. Let go of the past, and be the One you really are. Love is yours and ours.
