You do not question when you know you know
Nor do you hide in darkness when you glow
You do not hold a grievance when you love
Nor do you cling to earth when up above--
That battleground wherein scavengers roam
To find what flesh they may upon the stone
Third out from the sun. What can we then say,
But here are hungry creatures seeking prey?
Yet it is very easy to escape
The world and all of its ghastly effects
At once and for all time. You need only
Accept the atonement for all the world
For this you do when you accept it for
yourself, for we are all joined in the Will
Of God and of His Son, that He be saved
By your overlooking what is not real.
When you are healed, you are not healed alone;
The universe entire benefits.
There will be no mistakes, no loss of truth
No need, in Truth, even for forgiveness
When it is recognized there is nothing
to forgive in this rarified climate,
Where sight receives the gift of Christ's Vision
That sees only brothers with whom to join
And celebrates the time of His release
From dreams of crucifixion that our guilt
Had laid upon him. This time there will be
No going back, because your feet are now
Planted firmly upon the path to Truth.
Above the battleground, you finally see
That you were always sustained only by
The Love of God, because it holds you up,
surrounds you now, and is your all in All.
God reveals His omnipresence to us
When we desire but to feel His Love
Enfolding us as a mother her child
Gently soothing us into restful sleep,
That is precursor to awakening.
Christ comes to and for His own; no delay,
When we welcome and invite Him to stay.
At the moment, He is but a small child
but with our nourishment he will become
The savior of ourselves and of the world.
Such is not blasphemous, but simple truth.
God would not be Love if it were elsewise.
Ultimately, there is no love but God’s
And this we recognize when we would have
No Love but His, no Presence but His Own
Uplifting and upholding who we are
And who we may become with His support.
