1. You know WHO AND HOW a person “truly is” because you know that God IS and that He is all that is or ever could be REAL.
You know that the rest is the confusion brought about by belief in separation from God and from within the understanding of the Atonement; you have forgiven that.
From there, you move forward under the direction of Father through SPIRIT within.
2. Know yourself as a part of the Son of God, which is all creation.
The light you carry will ignite the one that has dimmed within them, and together the whole consciousness is revived; one soul at a time.
3. Time is not relevant in eternity.
“Time is under my (Jesus’) direction, but Timelessness belongs to God alone.
In time, we exist for and with one another.
In Timelessness, we coexist with God.”
~ Urtext of A Course in Miracles, page 130
Let’s talk about marriage in this context:
I am not sure that “marriage” per se is reasonable, ever.
Let me explain why:
Change happens moment to moment, and the freedom to exit, while it might seem to allow or even invite betrayal, says “I am choosing to be here, and I am choosing to be the witness of the LOVE of God in this person’s life as they are for me.”
IF they leave, then God was not there, only the ego was, and who wants THAT, anyway?
You see what I mean?
Financially, maybe there could be a yearly or quarterly assessment, and let that be enough without either feeling obligated or used.
Even with children involved, assessments are appropriate to keep communication lines open.
This way, if you stay, it is out of choice and enjoyment, and both recognize that and are more likely to respect one another and offer the courtesy they deserve and nurture the growth they both seek in Father’s Presence.
This is, of course, assuming that Father is seen and welcome in the first place.
Might the relationship otherwise be more of a mirage than anything else?
“A mirage is a naturally-occurring optical phenomenon that occurs when light rays bend due to refraction, creating the illusion of distant objects or even water. This effect is often seen in hot environments, where layers of air at different temperatures distort the light, making it appear as if there is a pool of water or an inverted reflection of objects.”
I prefer something REAL, rather than a mirage/marriage.
4. Depression, in any form, belongs to TIME, not HEAVEN.
All the forms and spectrum of depression belong in the world that humanity made, not in GOD.
Acknowledging GOD, the One Original Universal Father, as our true creator, establishes a REALITY based on what HE IS and not what humanity thinks it is or what it thinks God is.
Within the mindset of the Atonement, God is acknowledged, Christ is seen as all that is or ever could be, and Father is recognized as our Guide through SPIRIT within, here and now, as the false ideas, habits, and behaviors of separation fall away.
The catalyst is forgiving the original error that brought about belief in separation from God. This is the only true forgiveness, and the only forgiveness required because all else is swept away, into the unreality part of my psychological understanding.
It appears to “take time,” but we want to remember that time is a part of the illusion.
NOTHING in form binds us to stone idols; rather, a fluency of understanding becomes a way of life, ETERNAL LIFE IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
Till next time, God Bless, debi.
