Letting the Past Fall Away

Be very still an instant. ²Come without all thought of what you ever learned before, and put aside all images you made. ³The old will fall away before the new without your opposition or intent. ⁴There will be no attack upon the things you thought were precious and in need of care. ⁵There will be no assault upon your wish to hear a call that never has been made. ⁶Nothing will hurt you in this holy place, to which you come to listen silently and learn the truth of what you really want.

⁷For next to you is One Who holds the light before you, so that every step is made in certainty and sureness of the road. ⁸A blindfold can indeed obscure your sight, but cannot make the way itself grow dark. ⁹And He Who travels with you has the light. (A Course in Miracles, T-31.II.8:1-6;11:7-9. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Hanging on to the past keeps us from experiencing the present as it is. The past distorts our recognition of Love’s Reality now. Instead, we see projections of beliefs that overlay images of the past which block our awareness of Love’s presence.

The Light of Love is always with us. As we forgive the past, we let the Holy Spirit light our path of return to our Home in our Father’s Love.
