Day 157: Into His Presence would I enter now.

Today we are invited to enter the Gates of Heaven.  As A Course in Miracles tells us, we have now come to an understanding deep enough to carry us into the Timelessness of Perfect Bliss:

Today it will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will return to paths of learning.  Yet you have come far enough along the way to alter time sufficiently to rise above its laws, and walk into eternity a while.  This you will learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this holy place and leaves you, for a moment, to your Self.

My meditation for today was powerful indeed.  The moment I had closed my eyes, I saw great doors before me as they broke open, revealing floods of Light from far within.  I glided through the entryway and found myself in Stillness.  Though I did not move, I felt that I was falling.  Yet there was no ground to land upon, nor walls, nor ceiling either.  Where I was I cannot say, for it was nowhere I had been before.  All around me images were flashing - different worlds among the Universe.  I realized then that I was in the Birthplace of Creation.  As I listened closely, I could hear the pulsing of a Heartbeat.  It was not my own, but something far more rapid and succinct.  I soon found myself within a glowing Orb of Light.  It flickered like a strobe with each pulsation, and I felt inside of me a well of recognition.  This is Where it All began.  This is Where All Life springs forth.  This is Where it will continue still, Forevermore, into Eternity...

I pray that each of us can have a glimpse of this experience today.  Take a moment for yourself and let the Light of God guide you back Home.  Just for an instant, lay all your daily concerns aside, and let the Gates of Heaven open up for you today.

Until tomorrow,
Journeyman
