Is "The Disappearance of the Universe" a Valid Decryption of A Course In Miracles

[Micheal Jack]

 

In 1992, two beings did actually Gary Renard, told him these people were ascended masters, and, over an amount of years, gave him their decryption of a Course in Miracles, later to be published in his book The Disappearance of the Universe. The Course is really a profound work, almost 1, 300 pages, poetically expressed and difficult to comprehend, that was spiritually formed by Jesus to a psycho therapist, Helen Schucman. It enables an individual who studies and practices its teachings and mental exercises to gradually get rid of the ego.

In spiritual teachings, the ego is one's false sense of identity, of who and what one in fact is. It's like an accumulation related thoughts that arises from and includes the essential, underlying thought that we are separate from God. It keeps one ignorant they are standing in the current presence of God. It causes us to trust we are limited, mortal beings, instead of unlimited, endless Spirit, one with God.

From the ego arise guilt, fear, attachment to the human body, selfishness and suffering. God and our true identity, the immortal Self, are blocked from our awareness. The goal of the Course is always to dissolve the ego and its false ideas so that individuals can directly experience God, God's file format as Spirit (also verbal of because the collective Son, the Self, or Christ), and Heaven. The Course contains many powerful declarations about the character of God, Spirit, and their handy work, and the truth that the secured in a black separate Sons of God are divine, created in the image and likeness of God. These declarations help to dissolve the ego and its illusions and lead us toward direct comprehension of our reality as Spirit.

In the Course, Jesus speaks of God as being transcendental, beyond form and duality, quite simply, beyond the world, or universe, even while perceive it. In order to dispel our illusions and heal our minds, God created the Holy Spirit to work well with us on earth, guiding and inspiring us through the "inner voice" and through divine messengers. The Holy Spirit leads us out of darkness to the light and love of the Christ. When all our illusions are gone, we are filed with love and light, and realize our endless oneness with God.

The Course teaches that the world isn't real. This makes sense if we consider "reality" with regards to the great, transcendental reality of God because the Absolute, beyond form and duality. This type of the truth is very different from the truth we ascribe to the world since it practical knowledge with the physical feels, brain, and ordinary thought processes. Truly enlightened beings, who through oneness with the Christ Mind have the ability to feel the blissful, endless reality of God, Spirit, and Heaven, teach that the world, as seen with the bodies eyes and the thoughts of the ego, is an illusion, although many of them speak of it as having existence. By this they signify the illusion than it exists.

Arten and Pursah - the 2 beings who interpreted the Course for the Disappearance of the Universe - say that, prior to the illusion of the world arose, there is only God and the Christ Mind (a fantastic file format of God, wholly identified with God, Its Creator). Then, a very small facet of the Christ Mind wondered what it could be prefer to be untreated, quite simply, independent of the remainder of Spirit. From the creative power with this thought arose the ego and the particular connection with being separate from God. They go on to express this tiny facet of the Christ Mind stumbled on accept the ego included in itself and the ego's thoughts as a. Next, feeling guilt for having separated itself from God, it made the universe and bodies as a "hiding place" to escape imagined punishment for what it'd done, and, splitting itself into many individual minds, it entered these bodies. Since they certainly were consuming the ego's physically oriented, false concepts, these minds had lost their knowing to be one using their Creator and, thus, identified themselves with the physical body and its limitations. In accordance with Arten and Pursah, this is how humanity happened. The whole scenario (Disappearance, Chapter 4) came to exist in thought only - not in fact, as the truth is understood in the context of the Course - hence it is an illusion.

Arten and Pursah's teachings about why and how a universe and human bodies were made are not within the Course. The Course says that the Sons of God made a full world of their own imagining, but does not give any information regarding the sequence of events or try to put into words the character of the "substance" where the world was made. However, many enlightened masters have taught that the universe and bodies were created by God or an facet of God and infused with Spirit, and that humans, or at the very least many of them, having been given the gift of free will to trust and act because they chose, imagined themselves as separate from one another and God, and was thrown removed from love. Some sacred writings mention that God is still creating and explain the character of the Fall. Though different masters describe the Creation from different points of views, each of them come to an agreement with the teaching of the Course that the world is unreal, in the sense that individuals perceive it with regards to dualities (opposites), relativity and change. From their own, personal experience during exalted states of awareness, they have an understanding of the great, endless, unchanging reality of God, Spirit, and the highest heaven - the Heaven verbal of in the Course - and they teach that, in comparison, the world, even while experience it, is an illusion and not real. Most of them speak of it as a cosmic film or dream, probable onto the screen of human consciousness, that is unlike God, Spirit, or the highest heaven, as well as the divine light that's the substance with this cosmic dream. Additionally, each personal connection with the world is subjective, colored by the character and content of the personal mind. Even time is an illusion, for a course in miracles audio, as Jesus and the masters reveal, only the endless present is real.

In accordance with ancient, Hindu teachings, God because the Creator (in Sanskrit, Prakriti), invested with power from God because the Transcendental Spirit (often called the Absolute), manifests, maintains, and dissolves the world. (For a complete explanation of the concept of Prakriti, see God Informs you With Arjuna: The Bhagavad Gita, by Paramahansa Yogananda, Self-Realization Fellowship. ) Through the energy of God's light, the illusion (or cosmic dream) of the universe comes together, which we perceive with regards to the concepts and judgments inside our minds.
