How To Know What Time It Is?

I am the one who comes from what is whole. I was given from the things of my Father. Therefore, I say that if one is whole, one will be filled with light, but if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness.
Gospel of Thomas, Logion 61 (Pursah version)

This saying is so beautiful and simple and it expresses the core of what Jesus is to us, in a way that would be immediately comfortable to anyone who has studied A Course In Miracles. He is the elder brother who has gone before us, who has remembered what we are spirit, and the wholeness of God's Son, where all is one and we know we are one and whole. The Love of the Father was extended to him, and so he knows what it is to be filled with light, by remembering that wholeness. However if we are "divided" i.e. believe we can exist separate from God, conducting these dream-lives of ours in the world, we will be filled with darkness, because we will not remember the light and the wholeness of heaven while we're playing at being somebody in this world. It is all very straightforward and plain for anyone to see.

So, Jesus holds out a simple choice, either we follow him back to the light, or we follow the ego, and stay in division and separation, and live in darkness. That's how simple it gets, and that's how you know what time it is.
