ℑ God said:“Heaven is within everyone’s heart. Heaven is really not this distance that you allow it to be… It’s only a trick of perception that allows Heaven to be a somewhere sometime later… It is already within you. Much the same as when you can’t find your eyeglasses, and they are right on your head.” HL 4689 ℑ

Not to be is the ultimate expression of the belief in separation. And since not to be is impossible, the only way to experience non-being is true forgetting, hence perceiving, that is, dreaming.

ℑ “”This year is thus the time to make the easiest decision that ever confronted you, and also the only one. You will cross the bridge into reality simply because you will recognize that God is on the other side, and nothing at all is here. It is impossible not to make the natural decision as this is realized.” ACIM 21-1 ℑ

The Centaur expresses the image of an indefatigable horseman that is one with his mount (horse). We could see the lower body part of the Centaur, the horse, as the realm of doing while the upper part, the human, as the realm of the soul or being. In the Centaur image, being and doing are one and the doing part (the horse) is the reflection of the being part (the human).

ℑ “In the Beginning, That Which Is is all there was, and there was nothing else. Yet All That Is could not know itself—because All That Is is all there was, and there was nothing else. And so, All That Is. . . was not. For in the absence of something else, All That Is, is not.” ACIM 21-2 ℑ

ℑ God said:“Everything on Earth certainly seems real. It is accepted as real. How would you manage on Earth without credence to the fiction that is called real yet is not? To go somewhere, you have to take a direction. How would you find 3rd Street unless you paid attention? Directions are given, and recipes are followed, and all is fiction at the same time as fiction’s beauty is real and love is real and so much of the non-reality stirs within you remembrance of Me.” HL 4728 ℑ
