Opening to the Presence of Love

³Delay does not matter in eternity, but it is tragic in time. ⁴You have elected to be in time rather than eternity, and therefore believe you are in time. ⁵Yet your election is both free and alterable. ⁶You do not belong in time. ⁷Your place is only in eternity, where God Himself placed you forever.

Guilt feelings are the preservers of time. ²They induce fears of retaliation or abandonment, and thus ensure that the future will be like the past. ³This is the ego’s continuity. ⁴It gives the ego a false sense of security by believing that you cannot escape from it. ⁵But you can and must. ⁶God offers you the continuity of eternity in exchange. ⁷When you choose to make this exchange, you will simultaneously exchange guilt for joy, viciousness for love, and pain for peace. ⁸My role is only to unchain your will and set it free. ⁹Your ego cannot accept this freedom, and will oppose it at every possible moment and in every possible way. ¹⁰And as its maker, you recognize what it can do because you gave it the power to do it.

Remember the Kingdom always, and remember that you who are part of the Kingdom cannot be lost. ²The Mind that was in me is in you, for God creates with perfect fairness. ³Let the Holy Spirit remind you always of His fairness, and let me teach you how to share it with your brothers. (A Course in Miracles, T-5.VI.1:3–3:3. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Guilt feelings keep our thoughts anchored on the past and maintain our belief that time is real. They cover the present with images of the past. These images are a veil that hides the glorious Light of Love that joins us with All That is.

When we are willing to turnover all our perceptions to the Holy Spirit for his loving correction, we free ourselves from the past. We open our minds to the timeless presence of Love. We remember the peace of God is ours to hold and keep.
