| BkII:12.I.3 | Your bitterness and pain often come from a misunderstanding about permanence and time. Time was provided so that material creation has a beginning and an end. This is the intrinsic reality of time. Time is not an endless continuum. Eternity is the realm of no-time, the realm where everything happens because everything is eternal. Eternity is the realm of perfect love which is alone eternal and therefore alone real. Everything else is wrapped up in the cloak of time and in due time will cease to exist. In other words, Heaven is the realm where nothing passes ways, since it is eternal. Love never passes away. Illusion is the realm in which everything passes away. That is why we should never be afraid of anything because everything passes way except for Love. |
