“Imagine your life as a computer. A permanent, undeletable file is available called “God’s Will,” literally meaning “Love’s Thought.” The file is always there, available for download. The only question is whether or not we choose to download it.

Obviously, ours is a world where the file of infinite, unconditional love is not downloaded nearly enough. Too often we download the energy of our broken, tortured, frightened selves, manifesting the subtle and not-so-subtle violence in our hearts—hence the consciousness of the human race and the state of the world in which we live.

But even though love can be unchosen, it cannot be uncreated. When any of us expresses fear instead of love, the love we could have expressed remains safely ensconced in the Mind of God. Accordingly to A Course in Miracles, whatever miracle we’ve deflected is held in trust for us until we are ready to receive it.”
