Your attitudes are obviously conflicted; your feelings have a narrow range and are not on the loving side, and are never purely joyous; your behavior is either strained or unpredictable. Yet this IS what you want because you focus on it.

This is what you are fighting to keep, and what you are vigilant to save. Your minds are filled with schemes to save the face of your fear, and you do not seek the Face of Love. The glass in which the fear seeks to see its face is dark indeed. 

How can it maintain the trick of its existence except with mirrors? 

But where you look to find yourself IS up to you.

We have said that you cannot change your mind by changing your behavior, but we have also said, and many times before, that you CAN change your mind. 

When your mood tells you that you have willed wrongly, and this is so whenever you are not joyous, then KNOW this need not be. In every case you have thought wrongly about some Soul that Love created, and are perceiving images your fear makes in a darkened glass. 

Think honestly what you have thought that Love would NOT have thought, and what you have NOT thought that Love would have you think. Search sincerely for what you have done and left undone accordingly. And then change your minds to THINK WITH LOVE.

This may seem hard to you, but it is MUCH easier than trying to think AGAINST Love. Your mind IS one with Love. Denying this and thinking otherwise has held your fear together, but has literally split your mind. 

As a loving brother, I am deeply concerned with your minds, and urge you to follow my example as you look at yourselves and at each other and see in both the glorious Creations of a glorious Love.

When you are sad, KNOW that this NEED NOT BE. Depression ALWAYS arises ultimately from a sense of being deprived of something you want and think you do not have. 

KNOW you are deprived of nothing, except by your own decisions, and then decide otherwise.

 When you are anxious, KNOW that all anxiety comes from the capriciousness of the fear, and NEED NOT BE. You can be as vigilant AGAINST the fear’s dictates as FOR them.

When you feel guilty, KNOW that your fear has indeed violated the laws of Love, but YOU have not. Leave the fear that misses the target of Love to Love. That is what the Atonement, the return to Love, is for. But until you change your mind about those your fear has attempted to hurt, the Atonement cannot release you. 

As long as you feel guilty, your fear is in command, because only the fearful CAN experience guilt. THIS NEED NOT BE.

Ask yourself, “What is it that has hurt me so bad that I think hurting them will make it better?”

(Neale Donald Walsch 2014)

(ACIM W:2.IX-3)“Christ’s Second Coming, which is sure as Love, is merely the correction of mistakes and the return of sanity. It is a part of the condition which restores the never lost, and re-establishes what is forever and forever true. 

It is the invitation to Love’s Word to take illusion’s place; the willingness to let forgiveness rest upon all things without exception and without reserve.”

The never lost is the ever present deep loving connection that patiently waits for you to connect to it. An invitation to the Word of Love to replace the word of fear. A willingness to see the light in every one, without exception.

“It is the all-inclusive nature of Christ’s Second Coming that permits Love to embrace the world, and hold you safe within its gentle advent which encompasses all living things with you. There is no end to the release the Second Coming brings, as Love’s creation must be limitless. 

Forgiveness lights the Second Coming’s way because it shines on everyone as one.”

Love’s second coming permits Love to embrace the world. There is no end to the release the permission of Love brings, as Love is limitless.

The Second Coming ends the lessons which the Spirit of Love teaches, making way for the end of judgment, in which learning ends in one last summary that will extend beyond itself, and reaches deeply into Love. The Second Coming is the time in which all minds are given to Love, to be returned to the essence of Love in the Name of true creation and your Will for Love.

We have two choices.. Love or Fear.. at the time of the writing of this article the majority of people have a default habit of reaction from fear, and can choose to love… imagine what life would be like if the majority of people have a default reaction of Love… Would they then seek for or choose to fear? 

Of course not… fear is not loving! 

A DEFAULT HABIT of Love first is the Second Coming!

The Second Coming is the one event in time which time itself can not affect. For every one who ever came to die, or yet will come or who is present now, is equally released from what he made. In this equality is Love restored as one way of being, in Which all people of Love acknowledge that they all are one. 

And Love smiles upon the children of Love, Love’s one creation and Love’s only joy.

Your part in the Second Coming is assured, as you are released from the binds of body, and the fears of the mind, where you have no choice but the one automatic choice, to be one with Love, One with God.

Focusing on this Second Coming will ensure it soon, but do not rest with that. It needs your eyes and ears and hands and feet to practice Love to become automatic habit. It needs your voice. And most of all it needs your willingness. 

Let us rejoice that we can do Love’s Will, and join together in the extension of Essence of Love. Behold, all loving people are one with us, and we can reach our Love through Love.

Willingness to be vigilant for Love, catching fear in its stride within our own minds where we have the power of choice, and making that choice. Replacing fearful thoughts with Loving awareness at all times. Seeing through the eyes of Love.

Ask yourself, “How would Love see this?” “What would Love do now?” “How would Love Respond to this?”

(ACIM W2:X)“Christ’s Second Coming gives the Son of God the gift to hear the Voice for God proclaim that what is false is false, and what is true has never changed. And this is the judgment is in which perception ends. 

At first you see a world which has accepted this as true, projected from a now corrected mind. And with this holy sight, perception gives a silent blessing and then disappears, its goal accomplished and its mission done.”

Seeing through the eyes of Love, seeing only Love or a call for help to get to love, brings total release and absolute certainty. Thine Will be done! And Thine Will IS Love! Love’s Will be done!

Love sees the world as totally forgiven, no longer missing the target of Love and wholly purposeless. Without a cause, and now without a function in Love’s sight, it merely slips away to nothingness. 

There fear was born, and there fear ends as well. And all the fearful figures in the dream from which the world began end with it. Bodies now are useless, and will therefore seem to fade away, because Love is limitless.

You are so much more than you believe! You are spiritual beings having a body experience! Let go of the fear, return to Love, and be the truth of Who you are.

You who believed that Love’s Last Judgment would condemn you to hell along with the rest of the world, accept this holy truth: Love’s Judgment is the gift of the Correction Love bestowed on all your errors, freeing you from them, and all effects they ever seemed to have. 

To fear Love’s saving grace is but to fear complete release from suffering, to return to peace, security, happiness, and union with your own True way of Being.

Who in their right mind would fear complete release from suffering, who would fear returning to peace, security and happiness?

The return to Love is as merciful as every step in Love’s appointed plan to bless everyone, and call you to return to the eternal peace Love shares. Be not afraid of Love. For Love alone can heal all sorrow, wipe away all tears, and gently waken you from your dream of pain. Be not afraid of this. 

Salvation asks you give Love welcome. And the world awaits your glad acceptance, which will set Love free.”

Teach only Love for that is Who You Are.

This is Love’s Final Judgment: You are still Love, forever innocent, forever loving and forever loved, as limitless as your Creator, and completely changeless and forever pure. Therefore awaken and return to Love. I am who you are.

(ACIM T9:III) "Forgiveness, recognising the Love that you are, through the Essence of Love lies simply in looking beyond error from the beginning, and thus KEEPING error unreal for yourself. Do not let any belief in fear’s realness enter your minds AT ALL, or you will also believe that you must UNDO what you have made, in order to BE forgiven. What has no effect does not exist, and to the Essence of Love, the effects of error are TOTALLY non-existent.

By steadily and consistently cancelling out ALL its effects, EVERYWHERE AND IN ALL RESPECTS, Love teaches that the fear does not exist, and PROVES IT. Follow Love’s teaching in forgiveness, then, because forgiveness IS Love’s function, and LOVE knows how to fulfill it perfectly.”

"That is what we meant when we once said that miracles, the return to Love, are NATURAL, and when they do NOT occur, something has gone wrong.”

"Miracles are merely the sign of your willingness to follow the LOVE’S plan of Salvation,”

“The fear literally lives on borrowed time, and IT’S days ARE numbered. Do not fear the return to Love, but welcome the return to Love and do not wait, for fear’s time is borrowed from YOUR eternity. This IS the Second Coming, which was made FOR you, as the First Coming was created. 

The Second Coming is merely the return of SENSE. 

Can this POSSIBLY be fearful?” What can be fearful but fantasy, and no one turns to fantasy unless he/she despairs of satisfaction in reality. But it is CERTAIN that you will NEVER find satisfaction in fantasy, so that your ONLY hope is to change your mind about REALITY. 

Only if the decision that reality is fearful is WRONG, can LOVE be right. And I ASSURE you that Love IS right.

Be glad, then, that you HAVE been wrong, but this was only because you did not know who you ARE. Had you REMEMBERED, you could no more have been wrong than Love can. The impossible can happen ONLY in fantasy. 

When you search for reality in fantasies, you will not find it. The symbols of fantasy are of fear, and of THESE you will find many. But do not look for meaning in them. They have no more meaning than the fantasies into which they are woven.

Fairy tales can be pleasant or fearful, pretty or ugly, but NO ONE calls them TRUE. Children may believe them, and so, for a while, they ARE true for them. But when Reality dawns, they are gone. REALITY has NOT gone in the meanwhile. 

The Second Coming is the AWARENESS of Reality, not its RETURN, for Love never left. Behold, my loved ones, Reality is here. It belongs to you and me and Love, and is perfectly satisfying to all of us. 

Only THIS awareness heals, because it is the awareness of truth.My mind holds only what I think with Love.In this we are the Second Coming.The return to Love.
