A
Course in Miracles
Chapter
28 - The Undoing of Fear
Agreement
to Join
Count, then,
the silver miracles and golden dreams of happiness as all the
treasures you would keep within the storehouse of the world.
The door
is open, not to thieves, but to your starving brothers, who
mistook for gold the shining of a pebble, and who stored a heap
of snow that shone like silver. They have nothing left behind
the open door.
What is
the world except a little gap perceived to tear eternity apart,
and break it into days and months and years?
And what
are you who live within the world except a picture of the
Son of God in broken pieces, each concealed within a separate
and uncertain bit of clay?
Be not afraid,
but let your world be lit by miracles. And where the gap was
seen to stand between you, join your brother there. And sickness
will be seen without a cause.
The dream
of healing in forgiveness lies, and gently shows you that you
never sinned.
The miracle
would leave no proof of guilt to bring you witness to what never
was. And in your storehouse it will make a place of welcome
for your Father and your Self.
The door
is open, that all those may come who would no longer starve,
and would enjoy the feast of plenty set before them there. And
they will meet with your invited Guests the miracle has asked
to come to you.
This is a
feast unlike indeed to those the dreaming of the world has shown.
For here, the more that anyone receives, the more is left for
all the rest to share.
The Guests
have brought unlimited supply with Them. And no-one is deprived
or can deprive.
Here is a
feast the Father lays before His Son, and shares it equally
with him. And in Their sharing there can be no gap in which
abundance falters and grows thin.
Here can
the lean years enter not, for time waits not upon this feast,
which has no end. For Love has set Its table in the space that
seemed to keep your Guests apart from you.
