The Truth is True

"Truth is real in its own right, and to believe in Truth you do not have to do anything. Understand that you do not respond to anything directly, but to your interpretation of it. Your interpretation thus becomes the justification for the response. That is why analyzing the motives of others is hazardous to you. If you decide that someone is really trying to attack you or desert you or enslave you, you will respond as if he had actually done so, having made his error real to you. To interpret error is to give it power, and having done this you will overlook Truth." -- A Course in Miracles; Chapter 12, Section I, 1:3-8

"I need do nothing. Here is the ultimate release which everyone will one day find in his own way, at his own time." -- A Course in Miracles; Chapter 18, Section VII, 5:7, & 6:1

In every spiritual tradition, freedom is seen as the ultimate goal, the release from the bondage of this dream of material sense. True freedom is often called enlightenment, as the illumined mind remembers ItSelf as One with God. Whatever it's called, it is not something we do. It already is, and we already are.

When I wake in the morning in my own bed, I don't have to do anything. I'm already home. In just this way, when we awaken to our Oneness with God, the Truth of Being, we don't have to do anything. We are always and forever home in God. "Arise, shine; for thy Light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee." -- The Bible; Isaiah 60:1

The freedom that comes with this realization is breathtaking. There's nothing to do, nowhere to go, nothing to become. There is only the Truth of Being, effortlessly and eternally present, seamlessly whole and complete. There is only the Truth that encompasses and binds us as forever One.

"Salvation is the recognition that the Truth is true, and nothing else is true. Truth cannot have an opposite." -- A Course in Miracles; Workbook Lesson 152, 3:1,5
