Oneness Is Not Twoness

In my lessons this past week in A Course in Miracles, I have been struck in a new way (for me) about the idea of oneness versus twoness.

See, for a while now my belief about Heaven has been that it is a state in which there is only oneness, a state in which I and the Father are one, a state that already is, and always has been, but a state that is not in my awareness or experience right now.

What’s new for me, however, is that for me to experience heaven, where there is only oneness, there must only be oneness now, which means there isn’t twoness.  That is, there IS only one will, and that I don’t have a “free will” separate from GOD’s will.  There IS only one will. I can choose to think I have a separate will.  But there IS only one will. And when I get still, I can get in touch with what my one will is, because it is God’s will and it is the only will there is.

And so going through the day in practicing Oneness, I am listening for what my will is.  Today, I found myself NOT listening to the radio while driving, NOT watching TV, NOT talking with people over the phone, but sitting quietly and listening. And as I interacted with others throughout the day, I found myself listening for, “What is our will here?”

Holy Spirit, thank you for helping me say that oneness is not twoness. There really is just one will here.
 
In Joy,
