No one remains in hell, for no one can abandon his Creator, nor affect His perfect, timeless and unchanging Love. You will find Heaven. Everything you seek but this will fall away. Yet not because it has been taken from you. It will go because you do not want it. You will reach the goal you really want as certainly as God created you in sinlessness.
Why wait for Heaven? It is here today. Time is the great illusion [that Heaven] is past or in the future. Yet this cannot be, if [Heaven] is where God wills His Son to be. How could the Will of God be in the past, or yet to happen? What He wills is now, without a past and wholly futureless. (A Course in Miracles, T-pI.131.5:1-6:6)
The ego, the thought system of separation, is a fraud. It offers us a bill of goods that claims to give us pleasure, status, more than everything. If we believe in what it offers, we are buying an empty bill of goods. The package it comes in may be beautifully wrapped in enticing images, but when we open the package, we find there is nothing there. Having believed in it, we feel empty. This emptiness leads us on a search to find that which will bring us the Love we seem to be missing, the peace that is nowhere to be found in the world and lasting happiness that the ego’s bill of goods cannot offer.
Gratefully we are not the ego. And though we have bought the ego’s bill of goods, God’s eternal gift to us remains ours. We are only unaware of God’s gifts because the glittering images of the ego have distracted us. We have Help within our minds to shine a Light on the fraudulent ego images which shows us that in truth, there is nothing there.
When we are willing to open to that Light, we are shown the eternal, changeless gift that lies beyond the empty images and that we have never lost. We do not have to wait to receive God’s Love, peace and joy. They are already ours. We need only allow the Light within to show us the way to remembering we are in Heaven now.
