Time Doesn't Heal - Trust Does

Okay, we are looking at Chapter 26, Section 8, The Immediacy of Salvation.

And I just feel drawn back to this because Labor Day weekend, I was at the retreat slash conference that john mundy and vicky poppy put on and dove fishman was there and he always says two quotes from a course miracles guaranteed in any conversation And I was blessed to have a nice bit of time with him, just the two of us.

We got to sit and chat as friends, and that was lovely.

And of course, we brought up one of our favorite lessons, 25, I do not know what anything is for, which we have both relied upon today.

And then he also mentioned this from A Course in Miracles, which is the truth would settle every problem now.

And he brings that up always.

And I concur.

I concur.

And it's in this chapter 26, section 8, which is entitled The Immediacy of Salvation.

The one remaining problem that you have is that you see an interval between the time when you forgive and will receive the benefits of trusting in your brother.

We see an interval of time between when we forgive and when we'll receive the benefits of trusting in our brother.

This but reflects the little you would keep between you and your brother that you might that you and he might be a little separate for time and space are one illusion which takes different forms if it has been projected beyond your mind you think of it as time the nearer it is brought to you brought to where it is the more you think of it in terms of space and There is a distance you would keep apart from your brother and this space you perceive as time because you still believe you are external to him, your brother.

This makes trust impossible.

And you cannot believe that trust would settle every problem now.

Thus, do you think it's safer to remain a little careful and a little watchful of interests perceived as separate? From this perception, you cannot conceive of gaining what forgiveness offers now.

The interval you think lies in between the giving and receiving of the gift is seems to be one in which you sacrifice and suffer loss.

You see eventual salvation, not immediate results.

So patience produces immediate results.

So does forgiveness.

Any shift in our consciousness is Any expression of love will bring immediate results.

We don't trust that, right? We don't trust that.

We don't believe that because we don't feel worthy of it.

Why don't we feel worthy of it? Well, I think it's a lot because we don't think other people are worthy of it.

And to have, give all to all.

So this is one of the things I love about A Course in Miracles.
