³Heaven asks nothing. ⁴It is hell that makes extravagant demands for sacrifice. ⁵You give up nothing in these times today when, undefended, you present yourself to your Creator as you really are.
He has remembered you. ²Today we will remember Him. ³For this is Eastertime in your salvation. ⁴And you rise again from what was seeming death and hopelessness. ⁵Now is the light of hope reborn in you, for now you come without defense, to learn the part for you within the plan of God. ⁶What little plans or magical beliefs can still have value, when you have received your function from the Voice for God Himself?
Try not to shape this day as you believe would benefit you most. ²For you can not conceive of all the happiness that comes to you without your planning. ³Learn today. ⁴And all the world will take this giant stride, and celebrate your Eastertime with you. ⁵Throughout the day, as foolish little things appear to raise defensiveness in you and tempt you to engage in weaving plans, remind yourself this is a special day for learning, and acknowledge it with this:
⁶This is my Eastertime. ⁷And I would keep it holy. ⁸I will not defend myself, because the Son of God needs no defense against the truth of his reality. (W-135.24:3–26:8)
We have condemned our self to death by choosing the ego as our identity. The ego is in competition with God, trying to usurp His power and replace God. By claiming separation from God, the Source of Life, its only option is to make a world where death is the only final outcome. The ego wants God’s Son dead. It tries to crucify him with judgment and guilt.
Our resurrection comes when we accept our true Self, God’s one Son. It is the choice for Life rather than death; the choice for peace and happiness instead of conflict and loss. Our resurrection to Life comes through forgiving our mistaken belief in the ego. Through forgiveness we release our identification with the ego. We open our minds to welcome the Light of Love and remember we remain whole and complete in God. Nothing has changed our Self, the Son of God.
