David's prayer (20:24-): "Today, this instant, find the present moment. Today the error of linear time is undone, the error of seeking continuity in past, present, and future, is over now. Today I will not force continuity on past, present, and future. Present is real, alive in God's Presence. Past is gone. Future but imagined, unreal. Think this way of your brother: as you see him only now, 'his past has no reality in the present, so you cannot see it. Your past reactions to him are also not there, and if it is to them that you react, you see but an image of him you made and cherish instead of him. In your questioning of illusions, ask yourself if it is really sane to perceive what was as now. If you remember the past as you look upon your brother, you will be unable to perceive the reality that is now.' The only problem is a memory problem - trying to remember the past. This will not work. The past was used as a 'reference point from which to judge the present. Yet this is UNNATURAL because it is delusional. When you have learned to look on everyone with no reference at all to the past, either his or yours as you perceive it, you will able to learn from what you see NOW. For the past can cast no shadow to darken the present, UNLESS YOU ARE AFRAID OF LIGHT. And only if you are would you choose to bring darkness with you, and by holding it in your mind, see it as a dark cloud that shrouds your brothers and conceals their reality from your sight.' Today we go past the darkness, past the cloud of guilt, to the Christ within. 'To be born again is to let the past go, and look without condemnation upon the present.' The past is gone. You CANNOT see it now. Thus we give time to the Holy Spirit, that it may free us - free the mind by the Holy Spirit's interpretation of it. Today we seek continuity in the Holy Spirit, in the Kingdom of Heaven, which is continuous. Eternity has no past and no future. These are unreal concepts."

David's prayer continued: "'Now is the time of salvation, for now is the release from time… Shine on your brothers in remembrance of your Creator, for you will remember Him as you call forth the witnesses to His creation.' Today I call upon the witnesses that point me to the present moment, that point me inward. No longer will I seek for the light where it cannot be found. Today I turn within. 'There is a light that this world cannot give. Yet you can give it, as it was given you. And as you give it, it shines forth to call you from the world and follow it. For this light will attract you as nothing in this world can do. And you will lays aside the world and find another. This other world is bright with love as you have given it. And here will everything remind you of your Father and His holy Son. Light is unlimited, and spreads across this world in quiet joy. All those you brought with you will shine on you, and you will shine on them in gratitude because they brought you here. Your light will join with theirs in power so compelling, that it will draw the others out of darkness as you look on them.' Today we follow the laws of love. Today we follow the laws of God's happy, free Will - free Will for happiness of all creation. We practice well our lesson of the day [in answer to appearances, regardless of their form, etc.]:
'Salvation is my only function here.
God still is Love, and this is not His Will.'
We look upon the world of linear time - linear time is not God's Will.
'Salvation is my only function here.
Salvation and forgiveness are the same.
…
Salvation is my only function here.
God still is Love, and this [(illusion)] is not His Will.'
As we look upon the world - it seems to be separate objects, held apart by time and space - we remember: 'God still is Love, and this is not His Will.' 'Salvation is my only function here.' Today I would lay forgiveness on my mind, and let all fear be gently laid aside, that love may find its rightful place within me, and show me that I am the holy Son of God. 'Salvation is my only function here.' Amen."
