Study of Text, C 13: VIII. From Perception to Knowledge, P 4. 11-2-16

VIII. From Perception to Knowledge, P 4

4 Apart from the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit has no function. He is not separate from Either, being in the Mind of Both, and knowing that Mind is One. He is a Thought of God, and God has given Him to you because He has no Thoughts He does not share. His message speaks of timelessness in time, and that is why Christ’s vision looks on everything with love. Yet even Christ’s vision is not His reality. The golden aspects of reality that spring to light under His loving gaze are partial glimpses of the Heaven that lies beyond them.


Journal

Ooh, I like this glimpse at the Holy Spirit. He is part of me (the Son of God) and a part of God, in the Mind of Both. And He knows that Mind is One. Here is something else that I love to read here. He is a Thought of God, and God has given Him to me because He has no Thoughts He does not share. Imagine that! God has no Thoughts He does not share with us. And I think that Thought is not the same as the thoughts we have. I think that what is a Thought in God’s Mind is a Creation.

The Holy Spirit brings some of Reality into our illusion. He says that his message speaks of timelessness in time. I was thinking about those times when I needed Him to manipulate time for me so that I could get my writing and my posting done before I absolutely had to stop and go to work, and He did! I would finish my writing and make my last posting and look at the clock to see that almost no time passed. I don’t know if this kind of thing is what Jesus means by that sentence, but it sure feels like a miracle to me. It feels like timelessness brought into time.

And he says that Christ vision works the same way. Through His vision we see love everywhere we look. I haven’t been able to do this universally and consistently, yet, but I have had glimpses and it is remarkable. It can happen right in the middle of a grievance, and simply because I want Christ vision more than I want to justify my grievance. I can be very angry or very resentful and ask for another way to see it, and everything changes. Just like that! It is a miracle when it happens.

As wonderful as it is, Jesus says Christ’s Vision is not His Reality. It is just a glimpse of the Heaven that lies just beyond that miraculous change. Can you imagine what it must be like to see only God everywhere you look? Cate says that is what she sees. I long to join her there in that place where she sees with Christ. That is why I never for a moment stop looking at the mind, letting Holy Spirit heal what I find there that is not God. I really do believe that I can learn that I want to see only with Christ vision, and that this holy vision is meant for me. I believe that all I need is to wholly desire, to desire nothing above that elevated vision, in order to have it.
