“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth…”
The world and the ego appear as part of the insanity of separation. A "new earth" is found through the eyes forgiveness blesses. by Simon (Tim) Christopher
“Either God or the ego is insane, and if you will examine the evidence on both sides fairly, you will realize this must be true. “
T-11.In.1
The world, the ego, the body, the mind, all appear as real and arise as one along with the perceiver. They are but manifestations, or effects of a thought of insanity; the thought of separation, which by its acceptance, denies Truth entirely rendering it inaccessible. These common objective elements are not the Truth and so not one part of them is true. Insanity is not a partial state, it is a complete state and the extent and ferocity of that madness should not be underestimated for its determined and willful cause lies obscure in the mind hidden out of sight in the darkness of the fear it begets.
“The mind can make the belief in separation very real and very fearful, and this belief is the “devil.” It is powerful, active, destructive and clearly in opposition to God… “
T-3.VII.5
God did not create a meaningless, sick world of retribution where everything dies, and it should be very clear by now, that what the body’s eyes perceive fills the perceiver with a terrible fear which lies just below the existential state, experienced as being in a place, a space and time, where you are not and will never be at home.
There Is another world that can be found that is different in its fundamental purpose. A world that God has given to replace the one made out of hate. It is a real world of healing and joy, seen through the forgiving mind’s newly transformed eyes. This is the forgiving and forgiven world, where we are reborn and restored to original sinlessness as the foundation of the Self known to God as His beloved Son.
For just a little while this fresh, new perception of a world is seen, before what it reflects comes to end perception wholly. All perception of what is not true disappears when Mind is restored to knowledge, the revelation of the Singular, Creative Mind in which Perfection Is. No words can speak of that yet it is all that can be known.
“What God did not create does not exist. And everything that does exist exists as He created it. The world you see has nothing to do with reality. It is of your own making, and it does not exist.”
W-14.1
What God created exists as He created it to be and nothing beside it can be seen or known, or found at all. So how else can you know your Self except by denying everything you made apart from God? This is the basic formula for looking beyond that which in its madness hides the face of Christ, where all salvation lies.
This is the way we follow in the new vision of mind, the discipline of seeing in light, the giving of miracles, whereby each encounter offers us the means to journey on to reach beyond the stars or stay and die some more. The choice belongs to us as individuals, and let’s be assured it is not dependent on time but only on willingness. The glory of God’s Son is our inheritance awaiting only for us to claim it as our own. It is Christ’s glory we choose to look upon for no one can see what they do not already know as theirs.
“You are merely asked to return to God the mind as He created it. He asks you only for what He gave, knowing that this giving will heal you. Sanity is wholeness, and the sanity of your brothers is your own.”
T-5.VII.2
“Nothing God loves but must be sinless and beyond attack. Your special function opens wide the door beyond which is the memory of His Love kept perfectly intact and undefiled. And all you need to do is but to wish that Heaven be given you instead of hell, and every bolt and barrier that seems to hold the door securely barred and locked will merely fall away and disappear. For it is not your Father’s Will that you should offer or receive less than He gave, when He created you in perfect love.”
