Is there anything more urgent? Is there anything more right? We spend so long laying the blame for our sorrow on anything outside of us whether it be past partners, bosses, lack of money that we don't realise the Ultimate solution is within us. Namely Forgiveness. With this tool it is possible to right all wrongs, with this tool we can set sail for God and not as an idea but as an ever lasting experience. We cling to the teachings of the past and even fail to apply them and in our mind we imagine God is light years from us, never mind actually within and without us. Surging through our veins, directing our speech if we allow and filling our heart with loving guidance on matters large or apparently small.
How to reach what seems too good to be true? Forgive. Forgive your brothers and sisters totally (and that requires perseverance) forgive yourself and know that you are worthy. God never judges- only humans do. Judgement should be considered mental violence of the highest order. Even a 'criminal' who opens their heart to God is accepted without judgement and receives only love. Yet we can't feel enough love to forgive that criminal ourselves. Yet what we hold against others we secretly hold against ourselves for we actually believe that we aren't deserving of such infinite acceptance.
Where to start. Realise we are Spirits not bodies. Realise God is Spirit and nothing physical, so value love over any physical success. Practically - make love don't have sex, until your love for each other can override and feels more powerful than the physical sexual act know you can deepen your experience and do better. Send Love to someone who annoys you rather than thinking dark thoughts in your mind about them, God can see your mind. God will not judge you for such thoughts but offer to join with you in sending loving thoughts to those you would normally judge and hate. In joining together with God in this Highest of Endevours you become one and you are on the path. From there it is a matter of absolute consistency, forgiving your own errors but striving to do better and never saying the word can't . With god anything is possible and that's just for starters.

Hello R,
I am really enjoying your posts. Only half way through and thought I'd come back to make a comment. In this first post, you do not mention Holy Spirit as the Voice for God. Perhaps you do later on. Its important to recognize your 'appointed friend' as the Course names Him. Do you have a way of being contacted in person?
Email me at thelemons57@yahoo.com and perhaps we can chat. I have family in the UK.
God is!
Love and peace,
Triskana
