I. Guiltlessness and Invulnerability, P 7
7 As you perceive the holy companions who travel with you, you will realize that there is no journey, but only an awakening. The Son of God, who sleepeth not, has kept faith with his Father for you. There is no road to travel on, and no time to travel through. For God waits not for His Son in time, being forever unwilling to be without him. And so it has always been. Let the holiness of God’s Son shine away the cloud of guilt that darkens your mind, and by accepting his purity as yours, learn of him that it is yours.

I really am ok. I am safe and I am untouched by the illusion of life without God. I am with God now because it is His Will. There is no world, no time, no betrayal or sin. None of this is real and none of it is happening. There is a dark cloud of guilt that keeps me confused and blind, and believing in the dream as if it were really occurring, as if my dreams could overcome reality.
The cloud of guilt feels very real to those of us under its influence, but I trust that it is as insubstantial as all clouds. When I am flying I can see the clouds out the window of the plane. They don’t stop the plane or slow it down. I see us moving through them as if they were not there. The cloud of guilt is the same as the clouds outside the plane. It has no power to stop us from awakening or even from slowing us down.
I pray every day to see my guiltlessness as I see my brothers as guiltless. Some days I do very well. It seems so easy I think that it has been done and cannot imagine that I will ever again believe in guilt. But then something happens and I feel guilty or think that someone else is guilty, and the clouds seem to take on a solidity that is hard to get through and impossible to move. Imagine if your pilot refused to go through clouds because he thought they would stop the plane. When I stay stuck in guilt because I believe the guilt is real, this is what I am doing, I’m refusing to fly, refusing to continue this imagined journey. Sigh.
But at least I know this cannot be true. I must be mistaken and I know that I am fully supported as I go through the process of letting that belief go. If nothing else, even in my most difficult moments, I am filled with gratitude for A Course in Miracles. I cannot imagine doing this without the Course. I know other people awaken while on other paths, but for me, my help comes from Jesus through his course. No matter how difficult it might seem to forgive the grievance of the moment, I know that it can be done and that I will do it. Thank you, Brother. I am so deeply grateful.
