| BkII:4.III.1 | Now that we have recognized that all union produces fruit of some kind, we will speak of the fertility of union. You understand that union means your joining everything you are, everything that is true of you. You know that your being is unified and whole. From that integrity of being you can recognize what you really are and act as God would have you to act according to His divine plan of love, not as you think you should act according to laws that are not in accord with your true nature. You were never called to join anything external; that is not possible. And therein lies your difficulty. What you have believed in, but will not believe much longer, is that to unite means to join “something.” You seek to add rather than to unite. Until now you thought you could unite intimately with what is external, rather than with what you are. Today we give thanks to the spirit of wisdom for this grace of Heaven, blessing us with the truth and freeing us from the mistake of believing that union can consist of joining with anything external—indeed, the error of believing that there is anything external to yourself. The error is adding instead of remaining in union; the error is not understanding that unity refers to that which is indivisible. |
