IV. The Inheritance of God’s Son P 7
7 At God’s altar Christ waits for the restoration of Himself in you. God knows His Son as wholly blameless as Himself, and He is approached through the appreciation of His Son. Christ waits for your acceptance of Him as yourself, and of His Wholeness as yours. For Christ is the Son of God, Who lives in His Creator and shines with His glory. Christ is the extension of the Love and the Loveliness of God, as perfect as His Creator and at peace with Him.

What do I say to this? Christ, of which I am a part, is waiting for me at God’s altar. He is waiting for me because he is incomplete without me. Do I hesitate because the illusion is so fascinating that I can’t tear myself away from it? Am I so enamored with pain, suffering and death that I cannot bring myself to let it go? Or am I just plain afraid to face God?
God knows His Son as wholly blameless as Himself, Jesus tells us. I am blameless. I have done nothing wrong. Exploring illusions of separation was not a sin, and stories of wrongdoing are not the truth. I am blameless and so I have nothing to fear from my God. If God finds me blameless, perhaps I can learn to see myself as innocent as well.
I approach God through my appreciation of His Son, not through judgment of Him. If I judge myself for my stories, I cannot appreciate myself. No one appreciates that which it finds guilty and unworthy. I am part of the Son, so judging myself is judging the Son and finding Him undeserving. And if I judge any other part of the Son, any other person, I will judge myself because I will believe in judgment.
The only reason I would hold onto a judgment of myself or someone else is that I think there is some value in doing so. Here is an example of how this works in the mind. I paid someone to do some work for me and I realized he did a poor job of it. I thought about approaching him about this and asking that he correct his work. But I also noticed that the more I thought about it, and what I would say to him, the more judgment entered into my thoughts and the words I planned to use.
When I asked Holy Spirit about this, I understood that I hate confrontation and that I felt resentful toward this person because he was forcing me into this position. I judged him and found him guilty. Then I felt guilty for judging him. You see what an endless and futile circle judgment creates?
I felt tense and unhappy while I was doing this. My discomfort was not about what got done or was left undone in the story. The ego has a home in my mind for now, but so does the Truth. I know - even if I hide it from myself - I know that I cannot enter the presence of God if I attack His Son. There is no judgment or guilt in God and I cannot bring any with me into Him. If I could, I would indeed be destroying what God is.
As I let go of the idea that judgment or guilt has any place in my holy mind, I see myself and everyone else differently. I see them as they are, pure and innocent as they were created. I then appreciate them. How could I not? How could I not appreciate what is so lovely and so glorious, that which is an extension of our Creator and as perfect. I have had moments of clarity and that has been enough to make me want the real deal, the return of Self, never ending love and joy.
