Study of Text, C 15: IX. The Holy Instant and the Attraction of God, P5. 6-22-18

IX. The Holy Instant and the Attraction of God, P 5
5 If you would but let the Holy Spirit tell you of the Love of God for you, and the need your creations have to be with you forever, you would experience the attraction of the eternal. No one can hear Him speak of this and long remain willing to linger here. For it is your will to be in Heaven, where you are complete and quiet, in such sure and loving relationships that any limit is impossible. Would you not exchange your little relationships for this? For the body is little and limited, and only those whom you would see without the limits the ego would impose on them can offer you the gift of freedom.

Journal
It is a persistent delusion that I am a body or in a body, even temporarily. As Jesus says, at no single instant does the body exist at all. I am pure, formless awareness. I am a Thought in the Mind of God, an Idea in His Mind, and have never left that state. But my mind is divided on this while I dream of being something else, somewhere else. Dreaming does not disrupt the state of my Being nor does it in any way affect the Love of God for me.

While I linger in this limited experience, I try to imitate reality. I have children in response to my innate desire to create. I have relationships with them and others because deeply hidden in my mind is the sublime memory of the relationship I have with God and my creations, and I long for that again. I seem to think that I can find a substitute for these things, to be something else somewhere else and still have what I left behind. I can’t.

This desire to recreate the beauty and glory of my Self while not being my Self is what keeps me here. I seem to think that if I try one more time, I will finally succeed. Then I will be my own God and happy. It isn’t working. I was created to be part of All That Is, to be One with God, to be eternal and to be Divine. The acceptance of what I am is the only path to joy. Holy Spirit, speak to me of God, of my creations, of Love. I am listening.
