XI. Christmas as the End of Sacrifice P 9

T-15.XI.9. God offers thanks to the holy host who would receive Him, and lets Him enter and abide where He would be. 2 And by your welcome does He welcome you into Himself, for what is contained in you who welcome Him is returned to Him. 3 And we but celebrate His Wholeness as we welcome Him into ourselves. 4 Those who receive the Father are one with Him, being host to Him Who created them. 5 And by allowing Him to enter, the remembrance of the Father enters with Him, and with Him they remember the only relationship they ever had, and ever want to have.

How wonderful to think of being one with God and to think that this can happen now, at least it will occur according to what is possible here. I’m not sure exactly what this is like. But Jesus says that as we host God, he welcomes us into Him. Since in reality, we are still in God, this must speak to our experience of being in Him. I know that I already feel different. I feel happier and more peaceful and without a lot of interruption in that happiness and peacefulness. And yet, I feel like there is more to this, much more. I look forward to whatever is to come.

I still experience ego thoughts but I seldom believe them even for a brief time, and though I might get distracted by an ego thought, it does not persist. I continue to watch my thoughts and I am alert to guidance. One thing that feels different to me is that it all feels so natural and simple. It doesn’t feel like I have to work at this anymore; rather, it feels like every change simply happens and all I need to do is not prevent it.

I know I feel so much love for Jesus my brother and for God my Father. I also feel loved by God and I don’t doubt that love anymore. And if there is still some doubt or some fear of which I am not consciously aware, I am ready to face that when it is time to do so and let that be undone by the Holy Spirit as He has done with all other obstructions.

Manual for Teachers
4. WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD’S TEACHERS? Trust
2 All differences among the Sons of God are temporary. Nevertheless, in time it can be said that the advanced teachers of God have the following characteristics:

1. Trust

1 This is the foundation on which their ability to fulfil their function rests. Perception is the result of learning. In fact, perception is learning, because cause and effect are never separated. The teachers of God have trust in the world, because they have learned it is not governed by the laws the world made up. It is governed by a power that is in them but not of them. It is this power that keeps all things safe. It is through this power that the teachers of God look on a forgiven world. 

When I think about the world as it appears now with so much divisiveness, one could wonder how it is that we are to trust. The world today seems to be a very unsafe place. But that would only be true if I am looking with the ego. There is nothing to trust from the ego point of view, but I am not the ego. I am the Christ and I trust the Christ. I trust that God was not mistaken when He created us. I trust that Jesus was not mistaken when he chose us as his channels. I trust the power of God in us, and I trust that power is Love. I trust the inevitability of the Awakening.

If I see my brother strike out in fear and anger, I trust it is a call for love and that call will be answered. I trust that no matter how great his fear or terrible his rage, Love is his center. I trust that he will finally accept his truth and surrender to love. Nations are just a gathering of my brothers and reflect the same fear as the individuals, but also the same core of Love. I trust the Love they are to be revealed.

I envision each nation as a gathering of individuals who appear dark with just a tiny spark of light in their heart. Scattered among them are God’s teachers glowing brightly and those nearest him, as they are ready, feel their light sputter to life as it is ignited by their teacher. It is just a matter of time that all lights will come to life and where will the darkness go then? I trust Jesus and his plan of Atonement to awaken us to that light that can never be extinguished.

I trust that I can disregard the appearance of the world I see with my eyes. It is just a picture of the confusion in the mind. Behind that confusion is the real world, which could not possibly resemble this illusion in any way. In fact, the real world is the opposite of the world I see in every way. This is the world I trust. And I trust that my illusions of pain, suffering and death can do nothing to affect it.
