3-60. Child of God, why do you ask for darkness when the Light is all that you have ever been? Love can show you who you Are. Turn away no longer. God awaits your choice to trust that Truth is Real.
Believing themselves eternally and unalterable condemned to darkness, devoid of the Light of God and undeserving of redemption within the Sight of God, far too many of the now corporeal Children of God prefer to remain in the void of their own mistaken perception, voluntary outcasts from Heaven, wandering a world of form which they participate in but know, if only on a fully unaccepted and totally unconscious level of awareness, that they are not genuinely a part or derivative thereof. Why do they ask as such? What was the origin of their first error, manifest now in form but not at all deterministic of all that can unfold for them, once they are willing to put aside all that was presumed to be limiting in any way at all, so that they can enjoinder God with a plea of the most egregious desperation, seekings some explanation for their desolation and desperation within a world that has no apparent justification? It is even necessary to accumulate and disseminate a definitive and inarguable definition of why such an error of misperception might have occurred in order to untie all of its meaningless bounds, releasing the Joy of God unto the world of form so that the Freedom and Light of Love can be experienced again, resplendent in all of its Glory? It is not actually of all that much value to delve so deeply into the first or last artifices of misappropriated creative drive that generated such a horrific absence of accurate understanding of the relationship that all that Lives shares with its Eternal Creator, but it may be of some benefit, if we are to presume that knowing the origin of an error is of value in unfolding it and disentangling ourselves from its web of miscreacancy. What transpired was an error of presumption, an undoing of the Laws of God and their inaccurate reconstitution as the laws of the ego, all of which are so perverted that they bear no direct relationship to the Perfection from which they were first appropriated and then misused to an outrageous extent. That which is contiguous with God is just as God Is - eternal, perfect and indivisible. Yet the ego elected to utilize these foundational principles of the organizational pattern of Creation for its own blind uses, and in doing so, a new structure was created, one that was loyal only to the ego and designed purely to support and uphold misperception as a justification for its continuance when the corrected Vision of God remained forever available as a perfect mechanism for realignment with the Beauty and Truth of Creation, rather than the misbegotten and endlessly sullied darkness of the ego’s world. What was gained in this conversion? Nothing, for All That Is was converted into all that could never be, and isolation became the medium of exchange for all that was to transpire after this abortative process of obfuscation and misdirection was successful, in the sense that the perception of the Children of God who engaged with the ego as such were led to believe that they were condemned to a void of lightless sight, when forever God remained unwilling to See them as anything other than what they truly were - aspects of Perfection without stain or “sin” in any manner at all. It is a strange idea to contemplate, when one becomes sufficiently removed from the ego, to wonder why it might be that anyone in their original - which is to say rational and objective - frame of mind might voluntarily elect to uptake illusions in the place of Truth, and it need be contemplated no further than that, for they have elected these malapropisms of description, assigned them to themselves, and then steadfastly determined that all that they wish to see and to know must remain self-similar and supportive of conclusions that have never enjoyed any rational justification. All of this is a complex web of error, but it need not be understood to be ceased. It is possible to set aside all that is of the ego in one go, as it were, rather than piecemeal and painstakingly, as is generally the case for most all of the Children of God who genuinely seek to rid themselves of error and misperception. That it can be accomplished singularly and completely, rather than in stages of understanding that unfold and build upon the last that was completed, is not at all directly relevant, for few choose this path and it is not necessarily more beneficial for them that they do, for all of the necessity of the creation of time is available. But it is of great and overarching value to continuously remember that it is possible, for there can be many seemingly difficult roadblocks on the Path that each Child of God embarks upon when they are ready to set aside the ego, and while all of these impediments are self-created, they can easily appear to be challenging indeed. Nothing awaits your choice to accept that it is possible to Remember God and to set aside all fear in any and every form it attempts to arise, save for the Return of the Light of Love and the final subsidence of all that appears to be restrictive in any way at all. That is all that occurs, and while it might seem small or petty, it is in fact the reunification of All That Is with Itself, for all that is Love is a wholly integral component of your heart, and it asks only that you allow it and yourself to be Freed again, just as you have always been but that you have, for so very long, believed to be utterly and inalterable impossible. God asks but that you release all that is illusion - all pain, all fear and all beliefs in unworthiness, for none of these projections of the ego can in any way be applicable to God, and so they cannot be accurately applied to you, either. This seems a simple task, but never neglect to remember that in doing so, you portend the final undoing of the ego in every form, and the ego will not go gently into its final sigh of dissipation. The ego will attempt to find any manner at its disposal to affront you with rationales as to why it might be that God could be wrong, and it is solely within your power to elect to believe these ministrations of misperception, or to stoically and unerringly deny them any quarter at all, for they are indeed combatants of misdirection and illusion, determined to capture your attention and to hold you in thrall to their application of a perverted distortion of truth, so that you will not rise so far above their endless battleground that they will no longer be able to cast you downwards into the muck and mire of their own creation. What desire do you have, when you are willing to be wholly honest and bravely confrontive of your own assumptions, to be determined to be unworthy of all of the Love and the Joy that could ever be known? What is that, save for a presumption of unworthiness now generating its own headwind, a galleon of the darkest terror and timidity, so determined to overrun the sloop of your heart, plundering its riches and claiming you as its captive forevermore? All of this is what the ego entreats to you, and none of it is at all accurate or correct, when it is regarded appropriately and from a singular perspective that can be summarized and summated as such - God is Perfect, all that God Creates is Perfect, and you, as a Creation of God, are Perfect, too. That is all. That is all that is required for you to accept. By doing so, all that was forever the ambit of the denizens of the ego’s darkness will no longer be able to claim you as their compatriot, for you will renounce their citizenship in the land of the sleeping Children of God, arising again as you have always been - as a manifestation and indispensable reflection of Love, eternal and unbound, Perfect in every way, and unlimited in both nature and understanding.
