The Final Judgment

Without question life is a process of continuation. Death is merely a change of costume, of form, and the learning continues. At specific hallmarks in our life we are asked to look upon our past thoughts and actions in regards to how we find ourselves in the Now. Our hearts review our choices, and our minds deliberate on just how we have spent our time.

Spiritual information teaches The Final Judgment isn't a time whereby God decends upon us with his punishment for our wrong doings, yet a time when we have an opportunity to elevate our minds to higher orders of thinking.

And what are higher orders of thinking? These are thoughts joined with God in circumstance yielding Understanding, as a result of our contemplation.

Not one moment of our lives is ignored in life review. Although metaphysical teaching suggests our past is something we needn't relive in accords with our reactions, emotions, and/or pain, it is a gateway to exploring our Now. We can, indeed, with the divine's help, re-live our experience absent need to re-enter into the emotional states we felt imprisoned us before.

During specific intervals in our lives, when we choose immense change, or accept a higher Calling to go further and completely change our experience, we are given an opportunity to commune with the divine so that our past becomes healed in the Now, absent its denial.

The importance of this is spiritual progression. It is a going forth by using what we have learned in order to do better. And clearly it is a part of our wakening.

In our daily lives this is relevant because as we allow an end to denial, we can become more inwardly honest, more introspective, and seek to become a more whole human being. We can choose to join with God in His Will for us. And The Final Judgment can be a continuing experience of inner healing, resulting in an Understanding there is no death, no separation from God, no time, and simply a forward journey of acceptance, re-indentifying with who we are, and asking for help whenever we momentarily lose perspective of it all.

Life is precious. It isn't a time for egotistical ploy, games, or attempting to utilize what God has given in destructive or dishonest venue. It is a time to enjoy, embracing all that is God, and learning. On making the right judgments with the Holy Spirit, we then enter as _A Course in Miracles_ suggests a portal, the Holy Instant, where our experience is exchanged for the revelatory gifts of knowledge, Understanding, and a deepening knowing of what life is all about.

With practice, our world and our prior focuses begin to vanish, and as Raj teaches, the Real World begins to expand in its place. Thus The Final Judgment leads us from ilusional thinking to what is truly of value, and the divine waits at the gate to help us take the final entry into Heaven.

One who walks,
