Take No Thought for Tomorrow

[Asad shaikh]

In the Bible, Jesus tells us to take no thought for tomorrow; that the Kingdom of Heaven reaches hand. He emphasizes living in today's moment, in the eternal Now. He gives us the key to peace and eternal life. These are the Heralds of Eternity!

God is pure love, and God wants to reveal pure love where everything is shared. “In the holy instant God is remembered, and the language of communication with all your brothers is remembered with Him.” (T-15.VI.8) In the holy instant, we remember God. a course in miracles free There is no concealment, and you can find no private thoughts, no worries or concerns money for hard times, or regrets concerning the past. It's an event of perfect peace. This is exactly what Jesus is calling us into.

We're asked to forget about our ideas about time. We might have believed that something was missing previously, and we took action to test and correct it, longing for a much better future. But Jesus says, “Don't expect a much better future. The near future is just a trick! Now is all there is.”

And so we're now asking ourselves the question, what's it all about? What's the reason with this world and for my relationships? What's the idea of time and space? Jesus tells us that today's moment may be the point. Our vocation of healing (of the mind) may be the point.

How Practical Is This?

Jesus and the Holy Spirit have a plan for each and everyone of us. It's very precise, and it's individualized. In each moment, they instruct us where to go, what direction to go, and who to be with. They instruct us what books to learn, what movies to watch, what to eat, and what not to eat. We receive instructions on the best way to get our daily bread, in terms of inspiration and also food, clothing, shelter. The Spirit is so practical. When we give our mind to living and experiencing the holy instant, the Holy Spirit provides everything we need in Earth terms.

When you can find plans to be produced, i will be told of them. “You need take thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only real purpose that you would fulfill.” (T-20.IV.8) In lesson 135, he tells us:

“A healed mind doesn't plan. It carries out the plans so it receives through hearing wisdom that's not its own. It waits until it's been taught what should be done, and then proceeds to accomplish it. It does not depend upon itself for anything except its adequacy to fulfill the plans assigned to it. It's secure in certainty that obstacles can't impede its progress to accomplishment of any goal that serves the greater plan established for the good of everyone.” (W-pI.135.11)
