Into His Presence would I enter now. 

And yet It is always here, for I never left but I surely believed I did!  It seems I took My mind on a long fantasy, a journey to nowhere; and all the time I was now right here in Heaven.

¹ This is a day of silence and of trust. It is a special time of promise in your calendar of days. It is a time Heaven has set apart to shine upon, and cast a timeless light upon this day when echoes of eternity are heard. This day is holy, for it ushers in a new experience, a different kind of feeling and awareness. You have spent long days and nights in celebrating death. You have not previously thought of ‘life’ this way, yet far more certain are You of ‘death’ than of Life.  You think of death as something sure and quite reliable.  It is Your passport to re-entering the dream.

Each time You die and choose to be reborn again, You thank death, the god of dreams, for the opportunity to recreate the separation.

Today you learn to feel the joy of life.  A Life that has no dying, just joyous expectations and experiences. … That’s real happiness.

² This is another crucial turning point in the curriculum. We add a new dimension now-a fresh experience that sheds a light on all that we have learned already and prepares us for what we have yet to learn. It brings us to the door where learning ceases, and we catch a glimpse of what lies past the highest reaches it can possibly attain. It leaves us there an instant and we go beyond it, sure of our direction and our only goal.  This is no  ordinary learning geared to some ego accomplishment.  This learning teaches You Who You are and how to really Love again.

³ Today it will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will return to paths of learning. Yet you have come far enough along the way to alter time sufficiently to rise above its laws and walk into eternity a while. Thus do You learn that the Kingdom of Heaven is ever-present, just awaiting Your shift of unconscious mind to conscious.

This you will learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this holy place and leaves you for a moment to your Self.  Heaven but waits expectantly for each visit that You make, albeit briefly.  The visits gain intensity ‘til You are Home forever.

⁴ He will direct your practicing today, – take a deep breath, and realize that all is well, for Your mind is Homeward turned, and You are almost at Your destination – for what you ask for now is what He wills.  You and the Holy Spirit have again become congruent.  The next step is but re-Union: Oneness.

And having joined your will with His this day, what you are asking must be given you. Nothing is needed but today’s idea to light your mind and let it rest in still anticipation and in quiet joy wherein you quickly leave the world behind.  Take Your rest here from the world’s demands.  You long for but one thing now, and that is Home.  And so Your longing is congruent with God, with the Son, with the Holy Spirit.

⁵ From this day forth, your ministry takes on a genuine devotion and a glow that travels from your fingertips to those you touch and blesses those you look upon.  Your heart is opening to Love for All; Love impartial and quite universal.

A vision reaches everyone you meet, and everyone you think of, or who thinks of you. For your experience today will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for the holy Thoughts of God.  Today You will begin to experience God’s constant Presence as He is Be-ing You instead of the ego.  All You need do?  Allow It!

⁶ Your body will be sanctified today, its only purpose being now to bring the vision of what you experience this day to light the world. We cannot give experience like this directly. Yet it leaves a vision in our eyes which we can offer everyone that he may come the sooner to the same experience in which the world is quietly forgot and Heaven is remembered for a while.  We step quietly apart from the story that does mesmerize the world, for We know now that it is but a dream, for We can feel the soft calming breeze of Heaven, a caress from God.  And We begin to realize just how very much We’re loved, and how safe We are.

⁷ As this experience increases and all goals but this become of little worth, the world to which you will return becomes a little closer to the end of time, a little more like Heaven in its ways, a little nearer its deliverance. And you who bring it light will come to see the light more sure, the vision more distinct.  You need do nothing now, but to allow the unfoldment of Your Divine Be-ing.  And then All will see their possibilities as They see Your peace and happiness.

⁸ The time will come when you will not return in the same form in which you now appear, for you will have no need of it. Yet now it has a purpose and will serve it well.  What does this mean but that Your identification – and Every One’s – will be experienced as Spirit, not as ‘matter’ (unreal as it is!).  There will be no loss with this and no need of dying.  Life as Spirit is rich and full and so much fun!

Today we will embark upon a course you have not dreamed of. But the Holy One, the Giver of the happy dreams of life, Translator of perception into truth, the holy Guide to Heaven given you has dreamed for you this journey which you make and start today with the experience this day holds out to you to be your own.  Even dreaming can be happy when governed by Your Right Mind.

⁹ Into Christ’s Presence will we enter now, serenely unaware of everything except His shining face and perfect Love.   His face, so beautiful, shines God’s Glory, and illuminates All the Universe.  This face is Yours as well, dear Son of God.

The vision of His face will stay with you, but there will be an instant which transcends all vision, even this, the holiest. This you will never teach, for you attained it not through learning. Yet the vision speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that instant and will surely know again.  Heaven’s doors are wide open now, for God’s family re-Union.
