Finding What We Really Want

No one remains in hell [separation], 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 [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. It is as far removed from time as is a tiny candle from a distant star, or what you chose from what you really want.”

Today I seek and find all that I want.
My single purpose offers it to me.
No one can fail who seeks to reach the truth. (, A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 131,W-pI.131.5-6;15:5-7. See also ACIM Lesson 131 Insights.)

Heaven is now because Heaven is eternal. We can dream of being separated from Heaven but we cannot make the dream real. Our true Self wants only to be remembered as It is — Love and nothing else. This is our true heart’s desire.

We have chosen to believe in separation and accept the ego’s goals. The best the ego can offer is a substitute for God’s Love that will never satisfy. Nothing the ego offers is real. Unreal substitutes can never satisfy our heart’s desire to remember Love. But we have taught ourselves to accept the ego’s goals, to believe the ego offers us something we want. We need to learn that there is nothing in the world, the ego’s dream of separation, that we really want.

The Holy Spirit will teach us the valuelessness of everything in the world if we are willing to let the Holy Spirit be our Guide in all things. What is recognized as valueless is easily let go. This is how we seek and find what we really want.
