Your Real Work
Your passage through time and space is not at random. You cannot but be in the right place at the right time. (W-42.2)
Sometimes students complain to me about how they feel the work they do in the world to earn a living is meaningless, out of step with where they are spiritually. But it cannot be. Your real work is forgiveness – remembering Truth no matter what is appearing. And this is needed everywhere. The Course trains you in everyday life, not just for your convenience, but because God’s teachers are needed in everyday life.
One of my students pointed out that each time we forgive, each time we see through what is appearing and see Truth instead, we are dissolving a little of the illusion for the Part of God that dreams. As you do your part to dissolve the illusion of separation from God, you not only allow Light to shine in your mind, but in every mind, because all minds are One.
Over time, as you forgive where you are now, you will move on to where you are needed to learn forgiveness again until you have simply let go of all illusions and become fully enlightened. If you think the work – or anything -- you do is irrelevant, remind yourself of your real purpose. Say to yourself, “My real work is forgiveness” and then forgive whatever is appearing. You are needed right there. You are not there by accident.
