The past has no meaning now. It is evidence of nothing. Holding on to the past is holding on to a frayed rope that is connected to nothing.

When you release your past, you enter the present. The present is ever-present. The past and the future exist nowhere but in cells of memory and fantasy. Memory and fantasy are but the same elocution. Remembering or planning are the same disparity of the present.

You cannot spend the money you once had any more than you can cash in future chips.

This moment is yours to spend. It is My offering to you.

Forget the past and the future, but remember this moment that is yours right now. It is eternity. There is a past beyond your recall; its name is the present. Present yourself to yourself. Activate this moment entrusted to you.

Release this moment to its own course.

I did not place you in wilderness. You are not in the unknown. You are in the Known that harkens back to your origin. This Known is the present. It was before you and comes after, but that does not mean past and future. The Known is eternity. You are part of the expression of eternity, but eternity has no parts, so you are eternity as it reveals itself in ever-widening circles of everythingness. The song I sing is eternity.

You are absolved. You are awash in the plains of eternity. Your little self is dissolved and parades itself no longer. It has not disappeared. It never was existent. It was a stage-prop. It was painted-on scenery. It was not even painted-on. There was nothing out there for it to be painted onto.

You do not need to understand these words. You cannot fathom, but do not resist them. These words brighten your cells. My words brighten your DNA. I Who created you remake you this day. I remake you into your original clarity. I reawaken you to yourself, not to your intellect. I wipe off little marks and dents that you held onto because you thought they had significance. And now I stand within you in your new clarity. Whether you see or not is not an issue. I have cleared you, and that is enough.

Know that by your reading of these words, their vibration reaches the innermost core of you, and their effect is established.

You have been crying for this renewal, and I have given it to you. Your being has drunk in My words. You have thirsted for this that I give you now, and you have absorbed it. If you try to measure what I say, you will lose your train of thought. You will not lose what I have given you, but your intellect will hasten you away from awareness of your gift.

My light within you shines brighter. My light in you has taken effect. So be it.
