As I interpret the course, ‘our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.’ We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others (p. 190-191).

There is an experience that brings an end to all uncertainty and an end to all questions. The experience of Love is Divinely Inspired and changelessly Eternal. Love does not come and go or rise and set like the sun, nor does it shine brightly only to fade and disappear for a time. Love is not personal or specific. It is impossible to Love something specific, for Love is Whole and knows no parts. Love is without an opposite, being Everything God creates forever. Divine Mind is God, is Love, is You, is All.

You can never leave behind or be separate from Love. Illusions will inevitably fall away, but Love remains Eternal and extends on and on forever. Love is all-encompassing and cannot be limited. Love can seem to be temporarily forgotten or covered over in awareness by the belief in linear time, yet the Holy Instant of Love is always now and is ever present.
God is Love. God, Being Love, is One and Abstract. God, Being Love, does not take different forms or come in a variety of degrees and gradations. In this world there appear to be many thoughts, emotions, and perceptions that conceal awareness of Love. Yet they are merely temptations to forget that Love is All there Is. Whenever the temptation to deny Love arises, remind yourself that You are Love and God is Love and nothing can separate the Oneness of God's Love.

God, Being Love, has no opposite. God is All-Knowing, All-Powerful, and All-Loving. Illusions brought to Love must disappear, as darkness vanishes in the Presence of Light. Love is All since God is All. God, Being Love, has nothing to do with fear. God, Being Love, has nothing to do with disease, depression, pain, sadness or any of the forms that fear seems to take. Illusions of time may seem to veil the Face of Love, but Love remains untouched. Love can be but Itself and knows only Itself. Love and fear, God and the world, have no meeting point. The awareness of One implies the nonexistence of the other. The five senses of the body seem to deceive for a time, but Love is revealed as One and All through Inner Vision the world knows not. Pray sincerely and let your prayer be a unified desire for Love, for God. Inner Vision will lead to the remembrance of the Love that You Are and God Is, a Love without opposite.

Ego is make believe. Can make believe be real if only Love is real? Ego is opinion. Can eternal, unconditional Love know of opinion? Ego is falsehood. Can Love, being true, have awareness of falsehood? Love is true and real and only love is true and real. Love is One and is therefore beyond the "possibility" of comparison or compromise. What can the belief in duality, in past and future, have to do with Eternal Love? And what could break apart Love, which is forever One?

Love extends Itself, Being What It Is. Love is All-extending. In extending, Love remains loving, for Love remains Itself. There is no loss or gain in Love, for Love is completely without lack or limits. To know Love is to know completion and fulfillment. How could Wholeness ever understand anything but Itself? And what could Love "need," already Being Everything forever?
Do not question Love. If you believe in questions, question everything which seems to be "not Love" and be willing to accept only That Which Is True Forever. End the wait now! Accept now the Eternal Love of God. What else could be more worthy of your acceptance? There is nothing to seek and nothing to find, only Everything to accept right now. I am Love. Such is the Truth. Thank You God for the simplicity of Oneness! Thank You God for Being Love and extending Love forever!
