Study of Text, C 13: X. Release from Guilt, P 10. 12-28-16

X. RELEASE FROM GUILT, P 10
10 Release from guilt as you would be released. There is no other way to look within and see the light of love, shining as steadily and as surely as God Himself has always loved His Son. And as His Son loves Him. There is no fear in love, for love is guiltless. You who have always loved your Father can have no fear, for any reason, to look within and see your holiness. You cannot be as you believed you were. Your guilt is without reason because it is not in the Mind of God, where you are. And this is reason, which the Holy Spirit would restore to you. He would remove only illusions. All else He would have you see. And in Christ’s vision He would show you the perfect purity that is forever within God’s Son.

Journal
Release guilt as you would be released, says Jesus. There is no other way. I will not look within and I will not find the Atonement if I am holding grievances. Not even what I would think of as little grievances, or careless grievances. As he says in another place in the Course, “You cannot enter God’s presence if you attack His Son.” Within us is God’s presence, but I will not know this, will not see it, will not enter there while I still attack.

This feels right to me, but I was wondering how it is I reach the Atonement, which is the undoing, the healing, the correction, if I cannot see it within me for the dark clouds of guilt? It seems a catch 22 at first glance. But my experience has taught me that my desire will bring me where I need to be. I desire with all my heart to be free of a grievance, and it is done. I am in the Atonement, melting into It, blessed by It, loved by It. And if my desire is not complete, I will be healed to the degree I allow and this creates a stronger desire within me for the Atonement.

I am very holy and I want to remember that holiness. As Jesus says, I cannot be what I believe I am. I cannot be separated from God. I cannot be fearful and guilty. I can only imagine these states of being, because they cannot exist within the God’s Creation and there is nothing except His Creation. As I am able to remember and accept this, I find it impossible to assign guilt. When I get too deeply attached to a story, I forget that the story is not real and in believing in the story, I am unable to believe in the truth.

More than anything else I might think I want today, Jesus, I want to remember this truth. Each time I have a guilt thought about someone else or myself, please remind me to look again, this time with vision. How could that be true, that these holy sons of God could be guilty when they are so holy? How could there be guilt within God where we all reside? Yes we are guilty of many things in time, but time is not real and we are not in it. We are in eternity.
