Study of Text, Chapter 9, VI. The Acceptance of Your Brother, P 7. 3-18-15

VI. The Acceptance of Your Brother, P 7
7 Eternity is one time, its only dimension being “always.” This cannot mean anything to you until you remember God’s open Arms, and finally know His open Mind. Like Him, you are “always”; in His Mind and with a mind like His. In your open mind are your creations, in perfect communication born of perfect understanding. Could you but accept one of them you would not want anything the world has to offer. Everything else would be totally meaningless. God’s meaning is incomplete without you, and you are incomplete without your creations. Accept your brother in this world and accept nothing else, for in him you will find your creations because he created them with you. You will never know that you are co-creator with God until you learn that your brother is co-creator with you.

Journal
Oh my gosh! I am always. Not always as I will be what I am in the future, because in reality there is no future and no past. There is only always. I cannot even grab onto this as a concept; I can only accept it. What breaks my heart wide open is that I will know God’s open Arms, His open Mind. I will know this because I am like Him, in His Mind and with a mind like His. I am that! It makes me cry to read this because I don’t feel it right now. I cry tears of grief but also tears of joy, grief for what I have given up, and joy that it is not lost, just forgotten.

Here, more than anywhere else, Jesus talks about my creations. They are created from my open mind and this means that we, the Christ, the Sonship create them. My creations love me and complete me, and next to even one of them, nothing else has meaning. To know my creations I must know my brother, because he is co-creator with me. I must know my co-creators to know that I am co-creator with God. Is this motivation to release all grievances, to let them die on my tongue before my complaint leaves my mouth, to let them whither in my mind before they take form?

It is a long held belief that I need my brothers to hold my guilt and so I have misused them for eons of time. I have seen them as separate from me and pretended that projecting my guilt onto them, I was free of it. It is hard to believe that I ever thought this would work, and that it was a good idea.

Now that I am withdrawing those projections so they can be healed, and now that I am remembering my union with my brothers, I notice the ego trying harder than ever to encourage projection. The ego would have me use these brothers, these parts of my holy Self for this awful purpose. Holy Spirit, help me remember today that I am that I am, but I cannot know this unless I know it for everyone else, too. Everyone. Without exception.
