I. The Gifts of Fatherhood, P 3

3 If you were not part of God, His Will would not be unified. Is this conceivable? Can part of His Mind contain nothing? If your place in His Mind cannot be filled by anyone except you, and your filling it was your creation, without you there would be an empty place in God’s Mind. Extension cannot be blocked, and it has no voids. It continues forever, however much it is denied. Your denial of its reality may arrest it in time, but not in eternity. That is why your creations have not ceased to be extended, and why so much is waiting for your return.

Journal
God created me, and what He creates remains part of Him. I am an idea in the Mind of God, and ideas leave not their Source. The whole reason for making the idea of time and space was so that I could pretend to be someplace else for awhile, but that is all that happened. I am pretending that I can be outside God even though there is no outside God. I am pretending to be here for a awhile even though there is only eternity.

This illusion I made provides me with a mental landscape to play out impossible ideas within my mind. While this is happening, Reality remains unchanged. There is no empty place in God where I used to be. God has not stopped extending me, and I have not stopped extending my creations. Everything is as it always was and always will be. In fact, “was” and “will be” are meaningless words outside the illusion of time.

So much is waiting for my return and I long for my return as well. That is why I was drawn to A Course in Miracles, and why I am vigilant in my practice of all it offers me. I long for Home, for eternity, for God. I have been allowing the Holy Spirit to slowly back me out of this illusion so that I can know that my return was always accomplished. How loving is our Father that He would have my return to sanity be so gentle, and yet completely inevitable.
