What Are The Characteristics of God's Teachers?

Development of Trust

6. Period of Achievement

And finally, there is a "period of achievement."

It is here that learning is consolidated.

Now what was seen as merely shadows before become solid gains, to be counted on in all "emergencies" as well as tranquil times.

Indeed, the tranquility is their result—the outcome of

  • honest learning,
  • consistency of thought and
  • full transfer.

This is the stage of real peace, for here is Heaven's state fully reflected.

From here the way to Heaven is open and easy.

In fact, it is here.

Who would "go" anywhere, if peace of mind is already complete?

And who would seek to change tranquility for something more desirable?

What could be more desirable than this?

 

 

 

Development of Trust

Period of:

1.Undoing 2.Sorting-out 3.Relinquishment 4.Settling Down 5.Unsettling 6.Achievement

This is the journey’s end. We have referred to it as the real world. Chap 26 The Borderland

The real world is attained simply by the complete forgiveness of the old, the world you see without forgiveness... For forgiveness literally transforms vision, and lets you see the real world reaching quietly and gently across chaos, and removing all illusions which had twisted your perception, and fixed it on the past.... From the forgiven world, the Son of God is lifted easily into his home. Chap 17 the Forgiven World

This is the question everyone must ask. Certainly peace seems to be impossible. Yet the Word of God promises other things that seem impossible, as well as this. His Word has promised peace. How is peace possible in this world?
