Day 6
2 They come from all over the world. They come from all religions and from no religion. They are the ones who have answered. The Call is universal. It goes on all the time everywhere. It calls for teachers to speak for It and redeem the world. Many hear It, but few will answer. Yet it is all a matter of time. Everyone will answer in the end, but the end can be a long, long way off. It is because of this that the plan of the teachers was established. Their function is to save time. Each one begins as a single light, but with the Call at its center it is a light that cannot be limited. And each one saves a thousand years of time as the world judges it. To the Call Itself time has no meaning.
There is a universal Call for the teachers of God. That means it goes out to all, not just to ACIM students. I have to admit that I have in the past believed that fallacy. I was wrong. Everyone gets this call, but not many choose to answer at this time, though all will eventually answer. In the meantime, time drags on and with it, suffering. So in order to speed things along and avoid some of this pain, we are given a plan for the teachers. Jesus is pretty clear about time saved. He says that each of us will save a thousand years.
I personally am tired of the world. This is obviously true, or I would not have accepted the call. I became tired of conflict, tired of drama, and tired of suffering. I became very tired of the instability we experience in time. There is no permanence, nothing to depend on. No matter how happy I might be in any moment, there is the sure knowledge that soon, I will be unhappy.
So I became willing to give up trying to find in the world what is clearly impossible. I have given up on the world and am walking the path I found through A Course in Miracles. I also receive additional “maps” from time to time as my Guide out of here, the Holy Spirit, sends me little surprises.
I was able to accept a higher vision of myself as I read and practiced from A Way of Mastery. I was able to more completely undo the ego and create an empty shell through the study and practice of The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament. I have found practical help in untangling the ego thought process to get to the belief that needs healing through doing Byron Katie’s, The Work.
I’m learning to step aside from ego thinking altogether through the practices outlined in The Teachings of the Inner Ramana. All of these tools have been given me to shorten time. And through my practice of journaling every day, I am learning to hear the Voice more clearly so that He can lead me completely out of time.
When you consider the trap we have created in the making of the world and time, the closed circle of teaching and learning that we made where we use time to teach ourselves that we are what we are not, and we do this over and over again, it is amazing any of us hold onto even a vestige of sanity. This opportunity to teach, and therefore learn something different is truly a miracle.
