Study of Text: C 15, VI. The Holy Instant and the Laws of God, P 5. 2-22-18

VI. The Holy Instant and the Laws of God, P 5
5 In the world of scarcity, love has no meaning and peace is impossible. For gain and loss are both accepted, and so no one is aware that perfect love is in him. In the holy instant you recognize the idea of love in you, and unite this idea with the Mind that thought it, and could not relinquish it. By holding it within itself, there is no loss. The holy instant thus becomes a lesson in how to hold all of your brothers in your mind, experiencing not loss but completion. From this it follows you can only give. And this is love, for this alone is natural under the laws of God. In the holy instant the laws of God prevail, and only they have meaning. The laws of this world cease to hold any meaning at all. When the Son of God accepts the laws of God as what he gladly wills, it is impossible that he be bound, or limited in any way. In that instant he is as free as God would have him be. For the instant he refuses to be bound, he is not bound.

This world is a world of scarcity and without love. But we are not of this world and we are not meant to accept this as reality. The only way to be love in this world is to know that you are one with all. Without the idea of separation being true, you know your brother when you meet him. You know who he is and you know that you are one with each other. You know you are meeting yourself in another disguise. If you are one with all there is, how could there be scarcity? You have everything and you are everything and so you give freely without limit or concern.

You are like God in every way and God gives and gives and gives. He gave all of Himself to you in your creation, and your creation is endless. It is happening now and now you are receiving God and this is what sustains you. Because you are like God, it is your deepest desire to give as He gives and when you don’t you suffer. That little ego thought that is scarcity and that still exists in your vast and holy mind cannot be real because it is not part of your creation. There is no place in God for scarcity and so none in you.

Miserly giving does not come from your created mind. It comes from that tiny thought of separation on which you still place your attention. Remember to laugh at that thought and it will fade away into nothingness in an instant. Nothing can bind you to poverty of love except your desire to be a personal self with a will apart from your true will in God. Your memory will return and with it your joy and the peace of God.

Jesus came to remind you that you are abundant and if you listen and accept his gift, that abundance will translate into an abundant world before it disappears. You will dream a happy dream before you awaken from the dream. You will assist him in waking your brothers. How you will laugh when you see past the body and realize it is only your Self you meet. How funny this ego thought will seem to you when you realize there is nothing to take because it is already yours. And how peaceful you will be when there is no one to compete with and nothing to win or lose, and there is just the endless joy of giving.
