This instant is the only time there is.
I have conceived of time in such a way that I defeat my aim. ²If I elect to reach past time to timelessness, I must change my perception of what time is for. ³Time’s purpose cannot be to keep the past and future one. ⁴The only interval in which I can be saved from time is now. ⁵For in this instant has forgiveness come to set me free. ⁶The birth of Christ is now, without a past or future. ⁷He has come to give His present blessing to the world, restoring it to timelessness and love. ⁸And love is ever-present, here and now.
Thanks for this instant, Father. ²It is now I am redeemed. ³This instant is the time You have appointed for Your Son’s release, and for salvation of the world in him. (A Course in Miracles, W-308. See also ACIM Lesson 308 Insights.)
While we identify with a body, we interpret the present based on ‘memories’ of past experiences of our body. This past covers the present instant with a cloud of illusions that prevent us from recognizing the Light that is eternally shining in the now moment.
When we let go of our attachment to the past, we open our mind to receive Christ’s vision to see past the clouds. Our mind is lit with the Light of Love that shines away the past. We welcome the Love that keeps us eternally united with God and all His Creation.
