2-53. What this world represents is not Truth. There is no separation between all that is Real. Faith can show you a healed world of Love.
What this world represents has nothing to do with that which is actually Real at all. This world, so filled with examples of a separation that is not actually True, represents a concrete and apparently justifiable reason to believe that separation between all that lives is actually real. But it is not. This world appears to be a place of duality, a swirling multitude of disparate shapes, places, people and events that do not seem to enjoy any unifying structure at all. But there is a structure, method of operation and over-arching purpose to this world. Because this world presents the illusion of separation through the arising of so many forms, there is a possibility of discovering an underlying order to all of the chaos and apparent randomness of events as they transpire within the bounds of this world. But this discovery will not be realized with your body’s eyes, for those eyes can only see what is physical and the order and structure that this world speaks to is of a higher level than anything that is physical. All that happens in this world appears to occur and transpire separately from other events. An occurrence in one part of this world does not appear, to the eyes of the body, to have any relationship to another event that occurs many miles away. But this is not always the case. Minds can and do connect on a level of experience that has nothing to do with anything that is physical. The ability of two closely connected to minds to feel or intuit what is occurring within the life of another is but one of a myriad of examples of connections that have no basis in the logical understanding of nature as it is promulgated by science or, truly, by rationality at all. Yet these connections still occur and they are undeniable by those that experience them, regardless of the lack of justifiable basis in our current understanding of the nature of physical reality. The presentation of this world as a place of separation and separateness is incorrect, in that it appears to point to a definitive and unchangeable barrier, a distinctness of form that must forever remain unbridgeable. But this is not, in Truth, what is actually occurring. Because minds, generally, will accept the input they receive from their body’s senses and then assume that the inputs that they are processing through sensory data must represent the totality of all that is actually Real, most minds will accept what they see as being representative of a summary whole. But in Truth, all of the complexity of this world is but the merest reflection of a much deeper world, a dimensionless Universe of formlessness from which all form can arise, be witnessed, change and finally be subsumed again by the loam of the Void from which it originally took shape. This Void is not all empty, even though that is the generally accepted definition of a void. This Void is filled to overflowing with all that is possible, including all that is, from the perspective of this world, absolutely impossible as well. This Void underlies and supports all physical form, functioning as an infinite space from which all creations, ideas, thoughts, perspectives and interrelationships between all that occurs can be sustained until it is time for them to arise and be known within the confines of this world. Within this Void, which is functionally infinite and in which there is no separation between anything at all, there remains the totality of all that is actually Real. This Void is accessible at all times, in all places and for all Souls, regardless of whether they are incarnate or not. Because all that is ostensibly real, as reality is understood within the boundaries of this world, is contained within this Void of all of Creation, there is no actual separation between anything at all. But this concept stands so horrifically and diametrically opposed to this world that to attempt to understand this concept within the boundaries of this world, so determined to present itself as a place of separation and isolation, is nearly impossible. It boggles the mind, forcing it into a space of unlimited awareness, which is not at all comfortable for a mind so accustomed to remaining within the boundaries of rationality and logical thought processes. As such, Faith becomes an essential tool in bridging the gap between what the mind will originally assume is the totality of all that is Real and the summary Whole of all that is actually Real, being so much more vast than anything that the mind has experienced while it is resident in this world that to even attempt to contemplate such a concept appears to be capable of rending the mind into tiny fragments of its formerly cohesive nature. Insanity does not lie in the direction of this inquiry. Rather, great and healing sanity and rationality is the direction in which the mind will move as it ventures further down this line of inquiry, for the degree to which Faith is applied to that which can only be Experienced, the greater will be the relief that will be returned to the mind that wishes to release all beliefs in limits in favor of an acceptance of the Eternal connection that all that lives shares with all else that lives. Healing from the insanity of believing in the insane notion that minds could, in any way at all, be somehow separated from either their Creator or from any other mind will be the natural process that will continuously unfold as the mind relaxes into Faith, allowing now ordinary thought patterns to be released in favor of that which this world will call, for the time being, extraordinary contemplation. Love functions as both a holy bridge and as a substrate, a universal Experience that can be understood by any mind, joining that which previously appeared to be disparate and revealing the unitary nature of all that is aware, which is also all that lives. Awareness exists, to one degree or another, in all that lives. Awareness exists in all forms, no matter how small or how large, although the amount of awareness in any particular form can vary widely and wildly, depending partially on the requisite composition of the mind which performs the process of awareness. All of this individually arising awareness forms a larger pattern, a great confluence of universal mind-nature recognizing its logical and undeniably beautiful counterpart in all else that is aware, rising ever higher through greatly increasing levels of complexity until the ultimate Awareness - the Mind of God - is found at the apex of all of the apparently lesser, but no less important, levels of awareness that are, for now, not completely universal in their scope. All of this is available to you in every moment. All of this liberating and revolutionary Awareness can be accessed, enjoyed and reveled within at any time you should so choose to take it up again instead of the littleness and pitiful fragility that the ego will present as all that is actually real. Allow Faith to restore to your healed mind an Awareness of your connection to absolutely everything else that exists, so that you might look out upon a healed world of Love, instead of the frighteningly isolating world of disparate forms that the ego believes to be all that could ever actually be Real.
