Study of Manual for Teachers 4-21-12

Day 111
3 Anger but screeches, “Guilt is real”! Reality is blotted out as this insane belief is taken as replacement for God’s Word. The body’s eyes now “see”; its ears alone can “hear.” Its little space and tiny breath become the measure of reality. And truth becomes diminutive and meaningless. Correction has one answer to all this, and to the world that rests on this:

You but mistake interpretation for the truth. And you are wrong. But a mistake is not a sin, nor has reality been taken from its throne by your mistakes. God reigns forever, and His laws alone prevail upon you and upon the world. His Love remains the only thing there is. Fear is illusion, for you are like Him.

What clever and powerful beings we are. We have diminished All That Is to the bit that can be seen and heard, analyzed and categorized. Even that was not enough. We decide how much of what is left available we will accept into our little personal worlds. While reading about a miracle cure I was not even surprised when the doctors said this person is not healed because it is not possible. Just because we can’t find the cancer doesn’t mean its not there, they say.

Given absolute proof that the world does not fit into the tenets of their texts, they simply refuse to see it, and so for them it does not exist. “Here, take some more medicine. Do it quickly before this so-called miracle of yours destroys everything I think I know,” I imagine them saying.

I am not without sympathy. I do the same thing every day. I am offered miracle after miracle and I turn away quickly, before What Is can intrude upon my closed mind and expose my illusion to the light of truth. I wonder if some of those doctors lay awake at night, uneasy with the possibilities that hover just outside their willingness to see. I wonder about them, because I have seen the light and though I allow in only a small beam of that light, it is enough to make total ignorance impossible. The little I see has created a great longing in me to see more.

It is truly a cosmic joke on the grandest scale imaginable that all we think we know and have proven to be true with our most advanced instruments, is just an interpretation, and that interpretation is wrong. Even the instruments that prove our error is truth are part of the same illusion. What if you looked up into the sky today and there were two suns. Can you imagine the feeling?

Can you imagine how frightening it would be to discover that everything you thought you knew about your world was wrong? We live a very fragile illusion that we are desperate to hold together. We cannot afford miracles. They could destroy everything and leave us with nothing. So says the ego mind. This is why we stand on the edge of Awakening, and yet refuse to take that last step even though we could easily do so.

God is Love, though, and is not fear. He does not terrorize His Children. So He sends us Help, and waits patiently. Time is nothing to Him, but to us it is an endless expanse of suffering. How we will laugh when we finally realize that we stood in paradise, eyes and mind tightly closed against it, and dreamed of hell.

Thank you God, that our dream is just a dream, and that I did not create myself. Thank you that reality remains unaffected by illusion. Thank you that I am wrong and Love remains the only thing that is true. Thank you for the Gentle Guide You sent to direct my steps and comfort me in my fear and hesitation. I love you, God, and I miss you. I think I’m nearly ready to open my eyes.
