VIII. The Attraction of Love for Love, P 2

2 God’s Son is as safe as his Father, for the Son knows his Father’s protection and cannot fear. His Father’s Love holds him in perfect peace, and needing nothing, he asks for nothing. Yet he is far from you whose Self he is, for you chose to attack him and he disappeared from your sight into his Father. He did not change, but you did. For a split mind and all its works were not created by the Father, and could not live in the knowledge of Him.

Journal

So I booted myself out of Heaven, separated myself from God and from my Self, and so lost my awareness of what I am and where I am. I see myself as a body in a world of form with lots of problems and many solutions that never actually solve anything. And to make matters more confusing, I don’t remember doing this and on top of that, I believe in what I made. There is a belief that I am not fully aware of, but that affects me, and that belief is that I did something monumentally wrong and I am guilty.

What a mess! But there is a solution that does work. There is an answer to all of this and it is in the mind that made the problem as it appears to me. The solution is in the mind right next to the perceived problem. I can choose the answer as easily as I chose the problem and I will. The question is, when will I make that choice? I can take time, and in fact I can take all the time I can stand. But all this time I suffer, and sometimes, terribly.

I feel the draw toward awakening. I am tired of suffering and the desire not to suffer is the first step toward the door that leads out of the dream state of separation. I feel the draw of Love and that is a giant step forward. I have the key in my hand. I have been throwing off the encumbrances that seem to hold me back. I do this through forgiveness. I forgive and forgive and forgive. As I begin to lighten this load of false beliefs through forgiveness, I feel more confident that I can let this tiny mad idea go and return to Reality.
