29 A Tailor-Made Universe I

“Nothing beyond yourself can make you fearful or loving, because nothing is beyond you. Time and eternity are both in your mind, and will conflict until you perceive time solely as a means to regain eternity.” ACIM 10-INTR.

Universe and universes
The word universe, formed of uni (one) + versus (turned), means turned in order to constitute a whole. It literally means that 1 (one) is turning around itself to define a whole. What is fascinating in the concept of universe, from the standpoint of oneness, is that “There are not even threads to hold the Universe of Being together.”

28 Does God Ever Stop Thinking?

God said:“Whether thoughts come from you or whether thoughts are like bites from mosquitoes — mostly, you are inundated with them. Your thoughts are rapid-fire thoughts. There seem to be no screens to keep thoughts out.” HL 4537

It has been said that thoughts combined with belief and intention can move mountains. And yet, as humans in the relative world, how many times haven’t we ask God to release us from thinking! The mind is not the problem. Our way of using or perceiving the mind is the problem. The mind never loses its creative force. It never sleeps, it is never in an idle state. Every instant it is creating and producing one form or the other at some level.

27 Coherence, Surrender and Joy

God said:“Your picture of the world is your picture of the world. The objective world does not exist. The subjective world exists for you. All matter is a thought that manifested itself into your supposed reality.” HL 3942

COHERENCE
We are starting to discover that the universe is defined more by information than by matter, energy, time, and space. Ultimately, if the physical universe is reducible to electromagnetic waves that carry information, we could say that the cosmos is a big hologram, an organic whole that constitutes itself the information about itself.

26 Time Is Ego

“Delay does not matter in eternity, but it is tragic in time. You have elected to be in time rather than eternity, and therefore believe you are in time. Yet your election is both free and alterable.” ACIM 5-6

We have acknowledged that it is more and more difficult to draw a clear distinction between mind and matter. That matter itself might be a projection of the mind. But how could it be so?

If time and its correlate, space, are expressions of boundaries, limits, our mind is getting more and more confused if it is perceiving real matter or its own sense of limitation.

25 Atonement and the Unified Field

“God said: I am a memory, a memory re-enlivened, and yet I am an experience, a renewed experience of Oneness.”

We are now well aware of the ego but it seems difficult to replace it with something else because we are more aware of our unshared identity than we are aware of our shared one.
An identity has to be eternal otherwise it is meaningless. And in twoness, no real identity can exist. Identity can only exist in oneness. Hence its sharing is its reality.
