“Three Qualities in Heaven,” Hmm.
Eternal Present, Timelessness, and Eternity.
Someone said, “Three Qualities in Heaven: The Course talks about the eternal present which “extends forever” as well as timelessness and eternity. I’d be interested in your ideas as to what you think the difference is of these three items and any insights of meaning you may have.”
These were my thoughts
To begin with, they are all the same because they are life, in its true “form.”
Even breath covers more than the eternal presence, timelessness, or eternity.
Yet breath is what brings us back to the remembrance of each. It is the “action” that reminds us Who We Are and our Reliance on the Being that gave us that Breath.
Breath is one of the most vital assists (notwithstanding the Holy Spirit) to maneuver in the world of the ego.
The “ego” is not escaped in this world as the breath demonstrates while we “CHOOSE” to be here, yet we may tap into or recognize our true identity with its continual reminder according to our willingness to be “awake.” Perhaps it prepares us for a more focused thought process once we are out of body. (I do not practice out-of-body exercises consciously in this life, though I suspect I may while asleep.)
Eternal Present: The microseconds found within each breath. In a sense this is God, to me. It is the irrefutable reality of His Existence that Allows, or Wills, MINE and YOURS.
“Extends forever,” Timelessness: Eternal NOW, expression shared giving; continual expansion through freedom of said expression, however it presents itself.
Eternity: the Never-Ending Reality that we create through our imaginations as an expression of praise to the Giver of Life.
The current His-Story of humanity or the Son of God is one of nightmarish separation and lack that produces fear and shame, whereas the True Eternal Life that HE IS (CHRIST IS) is revealed in the Recognition of the Universal Benevolent Knowledge that IS God in All That IS or EVER COULD BE in REALITY ~ AND ~ the TRUE COMPLETE ALL-ENCOMPASSING, ONE AND DONE FORGIVENESS of the Son’s momentary belief in the possibility of separation from God.
You might ask, “How could forgiveness be ONE AND DONE when we continue in eternity. This is understood when Eternity has the definition I stated above ~ the Never-Ending Reality that we create through our imaginations as an expression of praise to the Giver of Life. ~
This does means that in Eternity, which we are free to enter in any moment we choose to, DEMANDS the recognition and allowance of a FATHER who gave life and from whom we come and of which we can be NOTHING outside of WHAT HE IS.
We will have the opportunity to go through difficult experiences as long as ego “lives ANYWHERE” in the mind of Christ. But from our place in Eternity we can know that these are simply “stories” of fiction that the Son has created out of fear of separation and that we will not be Truly harmed outside of the dream state of confusion that we currently accept as a society.
Note that we actually have chosen these “opportunities” for the purposes of learning ourselves or as “tools of communication/language” so that we might teach what the Holy Spirit would have us teach.
This is the way that I experience life in this form at this time.

You asked for differences. Again, I say they are the same.
I cannot say what experience is like outside of that which I have presented for it is beyond expression.
I do know that it is our natural, real, true essence/existence/expression/reality/BEING and it is WHOLE, COMPLETE, PERFECT, PURE, POWERFUL, NEVER DULL or BORING Within the Mind and Will of God, the Father.
~ and so it is ~
