Lesson 21, Allowance

Listen:

Allowance

The essence, then, of this hour’s communication with you is about the cultivation of allowance. It begins already, and will deepen a great deal, if you’ll merely put the exercise that we began with into practice. The willingness to relinquish the lid you have placed upon your own mind, so that you become able, in innocence, to simply observe how it really is - what’s really going on down in the basement, without judgment, without fear, without justification, without explanation. It is simply there.

In allowance, you cultivate the very quality of forgiveness. And without forgiveness, it is impossible to awaken into the realization of the Truth that is true always. And why? Because judgment is the opposite of the Kingdom. And where forgiveness is withheld, you are literally making a choice to be outside the Kingdom. You have used the power of the mind to make a decision, out of a desire to hold onto a perception, and thereby, you have generated direct experience. And you are the one who has kicked yourself out of the garden.

Remember, then, that always, forgiveness is essential. It is necessary for the Atonement. Forgiveness is another word for allowance. We speak here not of a blind passivity, but of a relinquishment within one’s own mind, and that is all. It is a willingness to see the complete neutrality of all events. It is a willingness to let the Comforter remind you that separation does not exist, that you cannot possibly make yourself guilty of sin and all the rest.

Forgiveness is a relinquishment of what you have decided is true about the world. It is, then, very much a self-centered practice. Of yourself, you cannot forgive your brother or sister for anything, because, in reality, they’ve done nothing. Forgiveness is forgiveness of one’s self for insisting on replacing Reality with your own version of it.

Allowance, beloved friends, is like the petals of a flower, opening to embrace the new dawn of a spring day. Allowance is like the melting of the ice that allows the river to flow. Allowance is like the removing of a cap from a bottle of sweet fragrance and enjoying it as deeply as you can. Allowance is the dissolution of fear. Allowance is transformation.

And when you have come to allow all things, to trust all things, you will have embraced all things. And only that one who is larger than the thing which is embraced can do the embracing. Therefore, whenever you feel imprisoned, it is because you have made yourself smaller than the world you perceive.

And when you feel free, it is because you’ve remembered that you are the one from which all things have arisen. You are the Son of God. You are the vast sky in which all clouds and storms arise and pass away, while the sky remains unscathed - eternally changeless. That is freedom! And the cultivation of freedom is a free-will choice. It is the result of the desire for the Kingdom.
