This instant is the only time there is.
I have conceived of time in such a way that I defeat my aim. If I elect to reach past time to timelessness, I must change my perception of what time is for. Time’s purpose cannot be to keep the past and future one. The only interval in which I can be saved from time is now. For in this instant has forgiveness come to set me free. The birth of Christ is now, without a past or future. He has come to give His present blessing to the world, restoring it to timelessness and love. And love is ever-present, here and now.
Thanks for this instant, Father. It is now I am redeemed. This instant is the time You have appointed for Your Son’s release, and for salvation of the world in him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 308, W-pII.308. See also ACIM Lesson 308 Insights.)
Unforgiveness always depends upon a “memory” of the past. It looks upon the present through a distorting filter from the past that causes misperception. This process makes it impossible to truly perceive the present moment.
To the Holy Spirit, our true Self, the only meaningful purpose for time is to let the past go, to forgive. Without the shadows of the past, the Light of eternal Love shines in our mind. Love is now and always. Forgiveness releases the future from the past, letting the eternal now extend beyond time.
We want to remember our Identity as Love. Today we practice opening our mind to the vision of Christ Who looks past our misperceptions and sees Love radiate in us and through us.
