A parable of the Son who ran, the Father who waited, and the dream from which you wake. You see, when you reclaim the right mind of Perfect Love you come to see truth, trust and totality, which is denied the one that chooses to make their home upon the sand of separation and not the rock of revelation.

“I ran away. Far, far away from You, Father,” cried the Son. A deep stone had been overturned. “I ran away because I sinned against the One who had loved me the most. No one adored me the way You did,” he pleaded. “Your wholeness completed me, and I felt as though I had betrayed Heaven itself.”

Tears streamed down his face. The pain buried long ago had been stirred - an ancient hurt, almost lost forever, now being remembered. Not only did he run from God, but he also tried to throw away the memory of his truth, for the pain was too much to bear.

“With each step further away I went, the faster I began to run, for fear of what I had done. And so I got lost, and with each new dawn the guilt grew darker. The shadows continued to twist.” He ran into the forest of fear; with every leap, the pain within ached harder. Nothing he did could ease the discomfort - why would it, when he had thrown away his One true Love? He searched frantically for ways to fill the valley of darkness, to heal the void within his mind, but nothing worked. Punishment stalked him; the guilt of what he accused himself of became his constant companion. He believed he had thrown God away - the One who gave him everything. He was the ungrateful child. And when he ran, he lost who he was, for without God he was nothing.

“Father, I ran from You because I was afraid. You had given me everything, and I sinned against You. I wanted all glory to be my own. I secretly desired Your throne.” He wept as he sought to remember God.

And when he ran, he lost who he was, for without God he was nothing.

I would never leave you

God felt his remorse, but knew that what He had created could never be separated. He would never lose the Son He loved.

“My Precious Child, please do not be afraid, for I would never leave you.” God’s Perfect Love filled his body. The tension of tears softened, and his deep desire to return to the truth of wholeness and holiness - which knows only goodness - was made clear. Tears kept streaming, for his pain was evident. The Father had not forgotten His Son.

“It seems that I was gone, but I was always with you, watching every moment the belief in sin came to taunt you as you dreamed of death. I held you close when I could see the pain of punishment. I wanted to intervene, but I did not wish to frighten you, for you were running from me. I waited for you to return, knowing that one day you would wake.” God whispered His melody of Perfect Love. “It was a dream, my Child, and when you awaken I will be your All. I would never leave you. Even if you think you have sinned against Heaven, you will always be my innocent Child, whom I bless, for we are One, not part.”

It was a dream

“What do you mean - dream?” he asked.

“It is not real, my Child. You are dreaming a dream - that separation from Perfect Love is possible, and that death can dampen your delight. But I am your loving Father, and nothing can touch your perfect being, for what I create cannot be destroyed.”

“What is happening?” he asked, still confused.

“You are waking to truth,” God answered. “Peace will protect you, love will lift you, and blessings will be bestowed upon you. Do not fear, my Child, for Perfect Love is calling you Home.” He fell to the floor, his tears of sorrow turning miraculously into waterfalls of gratitude. He understood now that God is all there is; without God, you have nothing. “Thank you, my Father, for always being greater than me.”

Do not fear, my Child, for Perfect Love is calling you Home. 

You are the Son in this story. The running, the forest, the guilt that circles like a concern. It is the dream you have mistaken for your reality. And the Father has never once looked away. To forgive within is simply to wake: to remember that you were never separate, never abandoned, never anything but His innocent Child. The being of Perfect Love, not the body born to die.

May you hear, beneath every fear, the melody of Perfect Love calling you Home - to the Self that is perfect, peaceful and powerful.
