II. The Decision to Forget
2 Yet to give up the dissociation of reality brings more than merely lack of fear. In this decision lie joy and peace and the glory of creation. Offer the Holy Spirit only your willingness to remember, for He retains the knowledge of God and of yourself for you, waiting for your acceptance. Give up gladly everything that would stand in the way of your remembering, for God is in your memory. His Voice will tell you that you are part of Him when you are willing to remember Him and know your own reality again. Let nothing in this world delay your remembering of Him, for in this remembering is the knowledge of yourself.

Journal
The memory of God is in my mind and waiting for me to accept it into my awareness. The only thing that prevents that from happening is that I want something else instead. We are so steeped in separation thinking that it is hard for us to understand wholeness. God is Whole and Complete. There is nothing in God except God. So in order for me to know God, I must put aside the desire to know something that is not God.

Since there is nothing except God, I am actually putting away nothing, but if I value it I will not put it away. I have these special relationships that I think are valuable, but in God nothing is special. Everything is equal in importance because everything is equal in reality. I am reading a book called “Lunch with Buddha.” In it the teacher helps his student understand a different kind of love than he presently knows.

He tells him that within his precious daughter there is a jewel and this is something he can accept, because he sees that jewel. He knows the reality of the perfection that she is. He points this out in each of his special relationships. Then he explains that the same jewel is in each person and that he can learn to see it there, so that his love for everyone is the same as his love for his children. (Mostly my words, but that was the concept.)

This is what I want. I want to see each person with the same vision I see my children. No matter what they do or say, I know they are wonderful. I know they are perfect beneath their behavior. Their behavior is an illusion based on false beliefs and has nothing to do with who they are. It is insignificant next to their reality.

If they behave badly, I disregard it, and continue to see only the love that they are. Now that I have become very good at this, I am learning to see others in the same way. This is one of the ways that I am removing the blocks that keep me from remembering God and remembering my Self.
