Study of Text, C 13: XI. The Peace of Heaven, P 10. 1-20-17

XI. The Peace of Heaven, P 10

10 Can God’s Son lose himself in dreams, when God has placed within him the glad call to waken and be glad? He cannot separate himself from what is in him. His sleep will not withstand the call to wake. The mission of redemption will be fulfilled as surely as the creation will remain unchanged throughout eternity. You do not have to know that Heaven is yours to make it so. It is so. Yet to know it, the Will of God must be accepted as your will.

Journal
What stood out to me in this paragraph is that I cannot be lost in my dreams because the call to awaken is in me. How can I be separate from something that is in me? So regardless of how dark my dream becomes, or how lost I feel, I am perfectly safe. I will wake up and I will remember what I am. I will know Heaven and I will know my Divinity.

I will also experience pain suffering and death until I do wake up. That, too, is a fact, and it is the reason I choose to do this work. It feels hard sometimes, upsetting, especially at the beginning when my world as I knew it was turned upside down, and it feels incredibly frustrating and disappointing when I resist it. But I will not veer from my path. I will continue the work until it is done. I must because now that I have begun to listen, I hear the Voice calling me home. I can no longer ignore it.

And what is all this work I do to return to my natural state, to know who I am? It is whatever it takes for me to remember and accept that the Will of God is my own. I am given 365 lessons, pages and pages of explanatory text, and many processes and personal guidance, all to help me make that transition. Not to change myself, just to become willing to accept my Self. All God wants for me is my happiness, and my job seems to be to realize that I would rather be happy than be right. Oh, my dear God, I surrender! And I will keep surrendering until there is no thought in my mind of resistance.
