Acquaint now thyself with him and be at peace.

"There is nothing outside you. This is what you must ultimately learn, for it is the realization that the Kingdom of Heaven is restored to you.”
A Course in Miracles

As God ascends into His rightful place and you to yours, you will experience again the meaning of relationship and know it to be true. Let us ascend in peace together to the Father, by giving Him ascendance in our minds. We will gain everything by giving Him the power and the glory, and keeping no illusions of where they are. They are in us, through His ascendance. What He has given is His. It shines in every part of Him, as in the whole. The whole reality of your relationship with Him lies in our relationship to one another. The holy instant shines alike on all relationships, for in it they are one. For here is only healing, already complete and perfect. For here is God, and where He is only the perfect and complete can be.

Don’t ever forget this.
There are many, many people who have loads of wealth, and loads of health, and loads of family, and still commit suicide. There is one thing missing, and that is satisfaction, peace, and you can’t get that without first finding God. Joel S. Goldsmith


Now then, there are those in the world, (you read of some of those experiences in Dr. Bucke's book, Cosmic Consciousness), who just in a blinding flash have become aware of that Mind, that infinite divine consciousness, and had an experience. To some, it may have appeared as the mind of Buddha, if they were of the oriental experience, consciousness. And to others it may have come as the appearance of Jesus Christ. To others it has come in many other forms.
Dr. Bucke himself, when he had his experience of illumination, received it and knew that he received it from the consciousness of Walt Whitman. But it was no mental transference on the part of Walt Whitman. Walt Whitman had attained a measure of spiritual consciousness, that Mind that was in Christ Jesus. But when it came to Dr. Bucke, it appeared as the individual consciousness of Walt Whitman, which it was. But since individual also mean indivisible, it was still the Mind of God appearing as the mind of Walt Whitman. And so it is that there are those who have received illumination from the Mind of God, appearing as the mind of one of these who have attained God consciousness.
Now, one important thing that we must understand is this, that in each of these cases, as in our cases, it is an individual experience. It has nothing to do with what we do out in the world. It has to do with our realization of individual union with God. It's something that takes place within ourselves, separate and apart from anybody else who is on the earth. We can't share it with husband or wife or child or friend. Nor can we seek it in their company. No two people can seek this together.
Each one must retire to the inner sanctuary of their own being, and find their God experience there.
1955 Kailua Study Group Joel S. Goldsmith 119B - Praise – Thanksgiving - Adoration
The activity of the Christ, resulting in a life by grace, is by no means limited to the past. Today, many men and women are experiencing the Christ and are living lives of beauty, health, harmony, and joy by grace. With truth now available to all who can read, spiritual illumination is a possibility to every earnest seeker. “Acquaint now thyself with him and be at peace.” The awareness of the Father within is the beginning of a life by grace. Joel S. Goldsmith
You may love unconditionally, but when you are judging someone the person you love won’t feel unconditionally loved. So therefore in order to really express unconditional love, there has to be no judgment.” Morty Lefkoe
