Remembering the Certainty of God’s Love

There is a borderland of thought that stands between this world and Heaven. ²It is not a place, and when you reach it is apart from time. ³Here is the meeting place where thoughts are brought together; where conflicting values meet and all illusions are laid down beside the truth, where they are judged to be untrue. ⁴This borderland is just beyond the gate of Heaven. ⁵Here is every thought made pure and wholly simple. ⁶Here is sin denied, and everything that is received instead.

This is the journey’s end. ²We have referred to it as the real world. …⁵[Knowledge and perception] are brought together, and only one continues past the gate where Oneness is. ⁶Salvation is a borderland where place and time and choice have meaning still, and yet it can be seen that they are temporary, out of place, and every choice has been already made.

Salvation stops just short of Heaven, for only perception needs salvation. ²Heaven was never lost, and so cannot be saved. ³Yet who can make a choice between the wish for Heaven and the wish for hell unless he recognizes they are not the same? ⁴This difference is the learning goal this course has set. (T-26.III.2:1-6;3:1-2,5-6;5:1-4)

The ego believes that heaven is where differences are real and images compete with each other for importance and value. But this can only be perceived in a dream of hell where the oneness of God’s Love is denied.

We need to be saved from this dream of hell. We need to learn that the dream of competition, conflict, lack and loss is not what we really want. Our true Self wants only the certainty of the changeless Love of God.
