===============================

⁴The choice is not whether to see the past or the present; it is whether to see or not. ⁵What I have chosen to see has cost me vision. ⁶Now I would choose again, that I may see.
☀️[CE W-52.4]

⁵I desire this holy instant for myself, that I may share it with my brother, whom I love. ⁶It is not possible that I can have it without him, nor he without me. ⁷Yet it is wholly possible for us to share it now. ⁸And so I choose this instant as the one to offer to the Holy Spirit, that His blessing may descend on us, and keep us both in peace. ☀️[CE T-18.V.7:5-8]

…It will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will return to paths of learning. ²Now you have come far enough along the way to alter time sufficiently to rise above its laws and walk into eternity a while. ³This you will learn to do increasingly as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this holy door and leaves you, for a moment, to your Self.
☀️[CE W-157.3]

1 Unless I look upon what is not there, my present happiness is all I see. ☀️L290

²Eyes that begin to open see at last, and I would have Christ’s vision come to me this very day. ³What I perceive without God’s Own correction for the sight I made is frightening and painful to behold. ⁴Yet I would not allow my mind to be deceived by the belief the dream I made is real an instant longer.
☀️[CE W-290.1:1-4]

1 Unless the past is over in my mind, the real world must escape my sight. ²For I am really looking nowhere; seeing but what is not there. ³How can I then perceive the world forgiveness offers? ⁴This the past was made to hide, for this the world that can be looked on only now. ⁵It has no past, for what can be forgiven but the past, and if it is forgiven, it is gone.
☀️[CE W-289.1]

5 No one in this distracted world but has seen some glimpses of the other world about him. ²But while he still lays value on his own, he will deny the vision of the other world, maintaining that he loves what he loves not, and following not the road that love points out. ☀️[CE T-13.VII.5:1-2]

⁸Vision will come to you at first in glimpses, but they will be enough to show you what is given you who see your brother sinless.

10 Truth is restored to you through your desire, as it was lost to you through your desire for something else.
☀️[CE T-20.VII.9-10]

2 This is another crucial turning point in the curriculum. ²We add a new dimension now, a fresh experience which sheds a light on all that we have learned already, and prepares us for what we have yet to learn. ³It brings us to the door where learning ceases, and we catch a glimpse of what lies past the highest reaches it can possibly attain. ⁴It leaves us here an instant, and we go beyond it, sure of our direction and our only goal.
☀️[CE W-157.2]

³His memory has not gone by and left a stranded Son forever on a shore where he can glimpse another shore which he can never reach. ⁴His Father wills that he be lifted up and gently carried over.
☀️[CE T-28.I.15:3-4]

Individual perception is variable, conflicted, based in the past and can’t be shared. The Spirit’s perception is constant, clear, and present.

6 Look lovingly upon the present, for it holds the only things that are forever true. ²All healing lies within it, because its continuity is real. ³It extends to all aspects of consciousness at the same time, and thus enables them to reach each other. ⁴The present is before time was, [CE T-13.VI.6:1-4]

My holiness shines bright and clear today.
☀️[CE W-285:1]
The hush of Heaven holds my heart today.
☀️[CE W-286:1]
My present happiness is all I see.
☀️[CE W-290:1]

The one who says “this can’t be true for me, or my brother” is holding to the past… and is the past.

⁷Only the past is held in memory as you make use of it, and so it is a way to hold the past against the now.
☀️[CE T-28.I.6:7]

Let me forget my brother’s past today. ☀️[CE W-288:1]
The past is over. It can touch me not. ☀️[CE W-289:1]
