Study of Text, Chapter 13: II.The Two Emotions, P 7. 8-18-16

V. The Two Emotions, P 7

7 Little child, would you offer this to your Father? For if you offer it to yourself, you are offering it to Him. And He will not return it, for it is unworthy of you because it is unworthy of Him. Yet He would release you from it and set you free. His sane Answer tells you what you have offered yourself is not true, but His offering to you has never changed. You who know not what you do can learn what insanity is, and look beyond it. It is given you to learn how to deny insanity, and come forth from your private world in peace. You will see all that you denied in your brothers because you denied it in yourself. For you will love them, and by drawing nigh unto them you will draw them to yourself, perceiving them as witnesses to the reality you share with God. I am with them as I am with you, and we will draw them from their private worlds, for as we are united so would we unite with them. The Father welcomes all of us in gladness, and gladness is what we should offer Him. For every Son of God is given you to whom God gave Himself. And it is God Whom you must offer them, to recognize His gift to you.

Journal

God loves us all. He wants us to be happy. He knows we are perfect because He created us perfect, because we are an extension of Him. God does not hold grievances because God is not a person and so has no ego. That is our hallucination, not God’s. We have nothing to fear from God. H offers us only love. When we offer ourselves insanity we offer it to Him, but He does not accept it because it is unworthy of Him and thus unworthy of us.

These are true statements, but we don’t actually know this. If we did, we would be having a different experience. We would be awake having a happy dream and then we would wake up from the dream and know our Divinity and the Love that we are and the Love that God is. Jesus says the way we know Him is to come out of our little private worlds and meet our brothers in love instead of judgment. Offer our brothers God and we will know God.

We practice this in our everyday life as we treat others as if they were dear to us, closer to us than our breath, a part of us. Last night I received very poor service where I ate supper. Instead of asking blessings on the overwrought waitress, I resented her. That is me in my own little world, separate from her, separate interests, separate goals.

I could easily have forgiven the whole situation and spent my time knowing that each and every one of the wait staff and the other patrons are part of the Sonship along with me. I could have reveled in that sweet knowing and been a blessing to everyone. Well, perhaps I will remember the next time. And the next time comes very quickly as thoughts of “others” come into my mind, as I interact with dozens of people today.

Here is another truth, I love them, even if, caught up in the story of being separate from them I have forgotten that, I do love them. In loving them, I draw close to them and I draw them out of their private worlds. Jesus says this:

I am with them as I am with you, and we will draw them from their private worlds, for as we are united so would we unite with them.

Yes, Jesus, my brother, I am ready to spend this day with you, saving the world, bringing us all home. What I give to myself, I give to God. What I give to my brothers, I give to myself and I give to God.
