We Are at Home in Heaven Now

The Atonement is in time, but not for time. Being in you, it is eternal. What holds remembrance of God cannot be bound by time. No more are you. For unless God is bound, you cannot be. An instant offered to the Holy Spirit is offered to God on your behalf, and in that instant you will awaken gently in Him. In the blessed instant you will let go all your past learning, and the Holy Spirit will quickly offer you the whole lesson of peace. What can take time, when all the obstacles to learning [peace] have been removed? Truth is so far beyond time that all of it happens at once. For as it was created one, so its oneness depends not on time at all. (A Course in Miracles, T-15.II.1. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

Time is the ego’s prime tool for hiding the present from our awareness. By dwelling on the past and using it as the basis for fear of the future, we are unaware of the joyful and peaceful present.

Yet the Holy Spirit is ever present in our mind, ready and able to offer us the holy instant now. We need only be willing to lay the past aside and the holy present will fill our awareness, and the holy present extends forever. In the present, fear of the future does not exist, for there is no thought of future or past.

To open the door to the present, the Holy Spirit offers us the gift of forgiveness, which frees us from the past. Clean of the past, the wholeness and innocence of our brothers and ourselves fills our awareness. Without guilt, there is no fear. Without fear we are in perfect peace.
