OrEd-T-18.11-Passing of the Dream
95. This Course will lead to knowledge, but knowledge itself is beyond the scope of our curriculum. Nor is there any need for us to speak of what lies beyond words, and beyond which learning cannot go. We will remember that who attains the real world will go beyond it, but in a different way. Learning ends where God begins, for learning ends before Him Who is complete and where there is no end. There is much to learn and we will not dwell on what cannot be learned. The readiness for knowledge still must be attained.
96. Love is not learned, for its meaning lies in itself. Love is not learned, because there never was a time when I did not know love. Learning is useless in the Presence of my Creator. His acknowledgement of me and my acknowledgment of Him so far transcend all learning that everything I ever learned is meaningless. Learning is replaced forever by the knowledge of love and love's one meaning. Learning ends when we recognize all that is not love, as that is the interference, and needs to be undone.
97. Our relationship has been uprooted from the world of shadows and set shining and firmly rooted in the world of light. Its unholy purpose has been washed with forgiveness and safely brought through the barriers of guilt. From there, its holy purpose calls to us to follow the course it took, to be lifted high above the darkness and gently placed before the gates of Heaven. The holy instant in which we were united, is the messenger of love, sent from beyond forgiveness to remind us of all that lies beyond the holy instant. And it is through forgiveness that the holy instant is remembered.
98. Forgiveness removes only the untrue, lifting the shadows from the world, and carrying the world safely, surely, gently to the bright world of new, clean perception. That is our purpose now. In the holy place of forgiveness, when the memory of God has come to us, we will remember nothing else, and memory will be as useless as learning. When every perception has been cleansed, purified and finally removed forever, our only purpose will be creating. And it is there that peace awaits us.
