Take No Thoughtfor Tomorrow
In the Bible, Jesus tells us to take no thought for tomorrow; that the Kingdom of Heaven
reaches hand. He emphasizes living in today's moment, in the eternal Now. He gives us the
main element to peace and eternal life. They're the Heralds of Eternity!
God is pure love, and God desires to reveal pure love in which everything is shared. “In the
holy instant God is remembered, and the language of communication with all your
brothers is remembered with Him.” (T-15.VI.8) In the holy instant, we remember God.
There is no concealment, and there are no private thoughts, no worries or concerns for
future years, or regrets about the past. It's an event of perfect peace. course of miracles

We are asked to let go of our ideas about time. We might have believed that something was
missing previously, and we took action to try and correct it, dreaming about an improved

future. But Jesussays, “Don't expect an improved future. The future is just a trick! Now's
all there is.”
And so we are now asking ourselves the question, what is it about? What is the reason with
this world and for my relationships? What is the purpose of time and space? Jesus tells us
that today's moment could be the point. Our vocation of healing (of the mind) could be the
point.
How Practical Is This?
Jesus and the Holy Spirit have an agenda for each and everyone of us. It's very precise, and
it is individualized. In each moment, they instruct us where to go, what direction to go, and
who to be with. They instruct us what books to read, what movies to view, what to
consume, and what to not eat. We receive instructions on how to get our daily bread, in
terms of inspiration and also food, clothing, shelter. The Spirit is so practical. Whenever we
give our mind to living and experiencing the holy instant, the Holy Spirit provides
everything we truly need in Earth terms.
When there are plans to be made, we will be told of them. “You will need take thought for
nothing, careless of everything except the only real purpose that you would fulfill.” (T-
20.IV.8) In lesson 135, he tells us:
“A healed mind does not plan. It carries out the plans that it receives through playing
wisdom that is not its own. It waits until it has been taught what should be performed, and
then proceeds to complete it. It does not depend upon itself for anything except its
adequacy to fulfill the plans assigned to it. It's secure in certainty that obstacles can't
impede its progress to accomplishment of any goal that serves the higher plan established
for the good of everyone.” (W-pI.135.11)
