Resting in the Peaceful Present

The miracle enables you to see your brother without his past, and so perceive him as born again. ²His errors are all past, and by perceiving him without them you are releasing him. ³And since his past is yours, you share in this release. ⁴Let no dark cloud out of your past obscure him from you, for truth lies only in the present, and you will find it if you seek it there.

Judgment and condemnation are behind you, and unless you bring them with you, you will see that you are free of them. ²Look lovingly upon the present, for it holds the only things that are forever true. …⁵The present is before time was, and will be when time is no more. ⁶In it are all things that are eternal, and they are one.

Now is the time of salvation, for now is the release from time. ²Reach out to all your brothers, and touch them with the touch of Christ. ³In timeless union with them is your continuity, unbroken because it is wholly shared. ⁴God’s guiltless Son is only light. ⁵There is no darkness in him anywhere, for he is whole. ⁶Call all your brothers to witness to his wholeness, as I am calling you to join with me. ⁷Each voice has a part in the song of redemption, the hymn of gladness and thanksgiving for the light to the Creator of light. ⁸The holy light that shines forth from God’s Son is the witness that his light is of his Father. (A Course in Miracles, T-13.VI.5:1-4;6:1-2,5-6;8. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

The Christ in us is God’s one Son. It is our Self, wholly loving and complete in Love’s oneness. To touch our brother with the touch of Christ is to recognize our unity with him in the Love that unites us with our Creator. This unity is eternal, now and forever.

Now is the time to release the past. As we forgive, we release the burden of carrying beliefs in the past which have no reality. As we let go of false beliefs, our minds are cleared of thoughts that blind us to the truth that is everywhere to be seen now.

We can relax in the now moment. Free of the past, we have no fear and no guilt. We rest in the real world of Love. All judgment is dismissed and we rest in the peace and joy of Heaven.
