Thank you. The phrase ""while we still remain outside the gate of Heaven" brought to mind a Nasrudin story I read yesterday. Of course, from the perspective of A Course in Miracles, we are never outside the gate of Heaven. But our mistaken beliefs can so restrict and distort our awareness, that we experience ourselves as being outside of Heaven, separate from God. And so the whole curriculum of ACIM is to teach us how to remove the obstacles to the awareness of the presence of love. Love, is eternally present. It is the only thing that is present at all, and it is always already present (so much for that story of time we tell ourselves. Nothing else truly exists, and there is nowhere else we can possibly be. But we get lost in the illusion that it's somehow possible to be separate from love, and then we wonder how we can "get to" love from that separate place. And so, here's the Nasrudin story: Nasreddin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: - "Hey! how do I get to the other side?" - "You are on the other side!" Nasreddin shouted back. Namaste Great post, Lisa, and great site overall. Thank you.

And so, here’s the Nasrudin story:

Nasreddin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side:
- “Hey! how do I get to the other side?”
