CHAPTER NINE

Time and Purpose

Now is the moment when Truth returns. Now is when real learning takes place. Healing and release are always now. Forgiveness happens now, though it heals the past and releases the future. The eternal now, where time meets eternity, is the only moment of time that is real. Hence it is the only time that Truth can penetrate and reach your mind. The ego would have you live in the past, overlooking the present and chasing the future. In the present the ego does not exist; it must avoid the present at all costs. The Holy Spirit brings your mind back to the present, that you may hear Him and began to experience life in a new way. You must return to the present, that the burden of the past be lifted from your mind and the future set free to continue the present. What is new and alive must be allowed to flower and grow in your mind, replacing what is over and dead.

Give time the Holy Spirit’s purpose. He knows how to use it to free you from the past you made to limit your mind and obscure the Truth. The ego uses time to perpetuate illusion, to maintain the bondage to fear and suffering. It would have the future be the continuation of a past that was over long ago. Trudging slowly along a road that goes nowhere, each day a stale repetition of the one gone before, until you are too weary to go on, with only the strength left to sink into oblivion and death; this is the ego’s goal for all who depend on it for direction and meaning.

Do not follow the guidance of one that knows nothing and leads you nowhere. Turn away from death and welcome life again. Your Father has given you a Teacher and Guide Who will lead you gently back to the promised land. To follow Him is to follow the Will given you by God in your creation. You have no other will. Yet it seems as if another will, apart from God’s Will, has taken Its place. As long as you believe your will is separate from God’s Will, you will resist doing what is necessary for salvation. You will think the Holy Spirit demands sacrifice of you, and your progress will be slow.

Is it a sacrifice to give up pain and suffering? Is it sacrifice to let go of what is valueless? Does it make sense to base your life on what is valueless, meaningless, incapable of bringing lasting satisfaction and fulfillment? Surely it is not sacrifice to give up the things of this world, illusory images without substance. The Holy Spirit will take nothing from you. He will wait until you recognize what is worthless and unnecessary, and withdraw your investment in illusion. Then He will teach you what is real and of immeasurable value to take its place.
