Making the Choice for Love

Heaven is the decision I must make.

Heaven is chosen consciously. ²The choice cannot be made until alternatives are accurately seen and understood. ³All that is veiled in shadows must be raised to understanding, to be judged again, this time with Heaven’s help. ⁴And all mistakes in judgment that the mind had made before are open to correction, as the truth dismisses them as causeless. ⁵Now are they without effects. ⁶They cannot be concealed, because their nothingness is recognized.

The conscious choice of Heaven is as sure as is the ending of the fear of hell, when it is raised from its protective shield of unawareness, and is brought to light.

We make the choice for Heaven as we wake, and spend five minutes making sure that we have made the one decision that is sane. ²We recognize we make a conscious choice between what has existence and what has nothing but an appearance of the truth. ³Its pseudo-being, brought to what is real, is flimsy and transparent in the light. …⁵Now it is recognized as but a foolish, trivial mistake.

⁵Heaven is the decision I must make. ⁶I make it now, and will not change my mind, because it is the only thing I want. (W-138.9:1–10:1;11:1-3,5;12:5-6)

The ego makes its choices unconscious to prevent them from being questioned. This supports its claim to be a separate identity, vulnerable to outside forces beyond its control. But every choice has an effect. If a choice denies Reality, it produces a dream of alternate images that hide Reality from our awareness.

To awaken from the dream, we need to bring our choices out of the darkness of the unconscious. As we observe our choices in the Light of the Holy Spirit’s vision, it becomes clear that choices made which deny Love’s Reality have no substance.

We do not want the lack of Love that is the consequence of denying Love. With this recognition, the choice to accept the Love we are comes naturally.
