Learning to Live in the Timeless Eternal Present

Let me recognize my problems have been solved.

²I seem to have problems only because I am misusing time. ³I believe that the problem comes first, and time must elapse before it can be worked out. ⁴I do not see the problem and the answer as simultaneous in their occurrence. ⁵That is because I do not yet realize that God has placed the answer together with the problem, so that they cannot be separated by time. ⁶The Holy Spirit will teach me this, if I will let Him. ⁷And I will understand it is impossible that I could have a problem which has not been solved already.

These forms of the idea will be useful for specific applications:

²I need not wait for this to be resolved.
³The answer to this problem is already given me, if I will accept it.
⁴Time cannot separate this problem from its solution. (A Course in Miracles, W-90. See also ACIM Lesson 90 Insights.)

Time is a construct of the belief in separation. It is used to make forgiveness appear to be unjustified. It holds guilt as baggage from the past that cannot be released.

But the past does not exist. This fact is the basis for all forgiveness, for what did not occur cannot be cause for guilt. This is the message the Holy Spirit holds for us, given Him by God to help His Son remember His Father’s Love for Him. The ego diligently builds scenarios that seem to confirm the reality of harm and loss. But this can only seem to occur in illusions.

Love cannot be lost. It is eternal and changeless, given without limit. Every time we seem to have a problem, the Holy Spirit is available to us to help us learn that Love is present, now and forever. The past is gone, does not exist, and cannot affect us now or ever. The reality of timelessness is the basis for this lesson.

We can ask ourselves this question, “Am I willing to be free of the past?” Any seeming problem is an attempt to hold on to the past. When we are willing to learn the Holy Spirit’s lesson that only Love is now, the past is released. We remember the Love in which we live and have our being. Gratitude fills our hearts. Joy overflows as we join in the eternal giving and receiving of Love.
