T. 26. IV. 7 & V. 1 – 3. Jesus: “If there yet be a tiny spot of sin that stands between you and your brother, it is holding back the happy opening of Heaven’s gate.
How little is the hindrance that withholds the wealth of Heaven from you. And how great will be the joy in Heaven when you join the mighty chorus to the Love of God! A little hindrance can seem large indeed to those who do not understand that miracles are all the same. Yet teaching that is what this course is for. This is its only purpose, for only that is all there really is to learn. And you can learn it in many different ways.
All learning is a help or hindrance to the gate of Heaven! Nothing in between is possible. There are two teachers only, who point in different ways. And you will go along the way your chosen teacher leads.
While time remains and choice is meaningful, there are but two directions you can take. For never will another road be made for you, except the way to Heaven. You but choose whether to go toward Heaven, or away to nowhere. There is really nothing else for you to choose! Nothing is ever lost but time, which in the end is meaningless. For it is but a tiny hindrance to eternity, quite meaningless to the real Teacher of the world. Yet since you do believe in it, why should you waste it going nowhere, when it can be used to reach a goal as high as learning can achieve?
Think not the way to Heaven’s gate is difficult at all. Nothing you undertake with certain purpose and high resolve and happy confidence, holding your brother’s hand and keeping step to Heaven’s song, is difficult to do. But it is hard indeed to wander off, alone and miserable, down a road that leads to nothing and that has no purpose.
God gave His Teacher to replace the one you made, not to conflict with it. And what He would replace has been replaced. Time lasted but an instant in your mind, with no effect upon eternity. And so is all time passed, and everything exactly as it was before the way to nothingness was made.

The tiny tick of time in which the first mistake was made, and all of them within that one mistake, held also the Correction for that one, and all of them that came within the first. And in that tiny instant time was gone, for that was all it ever was. What God gave answer to is answered and is gone.”
