70 There is no confusion when there is only one meaning

ℑ God said: “You could have claimed all of Creation, from stem to stern, from star to star, from one flight of fancy to another. You claimed only where you landed rather than opening your arms to all.” HL 1646

We project what we believe. This is the source of all our translation problems. Everything that emanates from Oneness has only One meaning, one unchangeable meaning which is the meaning of One, no matter the form It might take. Meaning reveals an intention, a purpose which is its consistency. And One has only One Meaning, only One Purpose: to Be One.

69 The Depths of Heights, the Heights of Depths

ℑ God said: “Despite gravity, everything in the world is topsy-turvy. At this moment, as the world turns, your feet may be up and your head down, and you’re standing on your head.” HL 4984

it is difficult if not impossible, in our perception of the reality of time, to let go of the past without releasing our sense of the future, which is just a projection of the past with a small hiatus or interlude called the present. In other terms, it is impossible to bridge time (as past and future without real present) with the Present which is the Eternal Instant.

66 One Heart, One Vision

God said:“You were born attached to your mothers so that you could dis-attach yourself and learn your Oneness with Me.
You don’t have to go anywhere.
You do not have to distance yourself. You separate to learn there is no separation.”
HL 1

“It is not necessary to seek for what is True, but it is necessary to seek for what is false.Your Self does not need salvation, but your mind needs to learn what salvation is. You are not saved from anything, but you are saved for glory.” ACIM 16:6, 11:4

65 Art, like a seed, creates itself in the artist’s hand

God said:“This is another way of saying, “Judge not.” You simply don’t know how to measure. You don’t have enough information. In actuality, you have information but none of the reason. Here’s the thing: There is no finality in life. It’s not done yet. It’s never done yet.” HL 4895

Nothing can be added to Oneness, yet Oneness has the potentiality and actuality of GROWING (in experiencing awareness), based on the fact of the sameness of the parts and the whole. Creation is mysterious to us because it is only Self-explanatory yet “natural”, without any need for validation by proof. It is un-scientific or way beyond science.

64 Language is our way out as our way in: [2] The crystalline noun

God said:“There are not just certain occasions when I speak. Consider My speaking like a hum. I am humming all the time. You can pick up My undifferentiated hum at a subtle level and grasp it into the differentiated sounds that you know as language. You can pick up a sense of My love as well. The hum I hum is of love, and you can know My love first-hand” HL 4909

Where there is matter, there is geometry.”Johannes Kepler

Matter is also a geometrical noun and its building block is a tetrahedron.
Is the Universe anything else than the Divine Language of Oneness?

61 Magical Thinking and Right-Mindedness 2: The Fractal-Brain Metaphor

“…what you are doing now is simply remembering everything you are, and choosing the portion of that which you prefer to experience in this moment in this lifetime, on this planet, in this physical form. It is simple. You have separated your Self from the body of God, from the All, from the Collective, and you are becoming a member of that body once again. This is the Process called re-membering.”” CWG, Book 3

Does the Mandelbrot fractal set preexist in the universe as a platonic idea? Does Consciousness, Oneness [God], create images of Itself through an atom of recursion that proceeds by recursive bifurcation (like cell division)?

59 The Ultimate Technology is the Universe Itself

 

Terracotta Warriors, Xi’an, China

“I want to tell you that this matter of Who You Are and Who You Choose To Be, is of great importance. Not only because it sets the tone of your experience, but because it creates the Nature of Mine. All of your life you
have been told that God created you. I come now to tell you this: you are Creating God. That is a massive rearrangement of your understanding.” Conversations with God, Book 3

“Understand that you are the one for Me. I chose you, and I continue to choose you. You are My choice. I choose you for something, not for nothing. You are good use of My time. We serve each other. As I fill a need for you, I fulfill Myself. As you fill a need for Me, you fulfill Me – and yourself. Now, it’s a little tricky to say that you fulfill Me, for I am never in the slightest unfulfilled. Nevertheless, as I serve you, I am served. It is a kind of completion that I speak of. Something is accomplished. Something great is accomplished as We exchange our gifts.”  HL 4851

   [Note on the Terracotta warriors: 

   The Terracotta Army also called the “Terracotta Warriors and Horses” is a series of life-size sculptures representing the armies of the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang (246 BC) discovered in Xi’an, China. What is fascinating about those life-size sculptures (altogether over 7,000 pottery soldiers, horses, chariots and weapons) is that they were constructed on an assembly line of separate parts (head, arms, legs, and torso). For the face, eight molds were most likely used. Clay was then used to provide each soldier with a unique facial expression and positioned according to army rank (Wikipedia). It is a fascinating representation of the unique mold of Oneness to create embodied individualities (parts). Oneness experiencing Itself through Its parts. Creation in Wholeness, which is differentiation in sameness, is not cloning.]

58 Picking up the pieces of our Self

“Even as you look at a solid object through a microscope, seeing that it is not solid at all, but actually a conglomeration of a million different effects — different things all happening at once and thus creating the larger effect — so, too, do you use time as the microscope of your soul.” CWG Book III

How can we be One while we are Many, and so different Many? How can we explain the existence of time when there is no time, no before and no after? How can we explain the existence of space when there is no here and no there? How can we explain the existence of fear when there is nothing but love

54 Recalibration 2: I need do nothing

“‘I need do nothing’ is a statement of allegiance, a truly undivided loyalty. Believe it for just one instant, and you will accomplish more than is given to a century of contemplation, or of struggle against temptation.” ACIM 128-7

 Being is the most simple thing conceivable. In fact, it is so simple that it is inconceivable for us. Our mind functions by contrasts, comparisons, evaluations which all have to end up in judgments. Obviously, to perceive differences is to judge that we are not the same as what we perceive as different.
