This is part 4 of my discourse regarding a group of verses from “A Course in Miracles” that address the what, why and how of Truth and reality. The Course is a non-dualistic or a Oneness spiritual philosophy that emphasizes forgiveness as the road to inner peace to understand the nature of God. It is a self-study curriculum that aims to assist individuals in achieving spiritual transformation. The Course is not aligned with any particular religion, although it uses Christian terminology, and its teachings are intended to be universal in nature.
You cannot be safe from Truth,
but only in Truth.
Reality is the only safety.
We are only truly safe when we stand in our Truth. Meditating on Truth and living in the Truth is the only way to safely navigate the world without undesired outcomes. We have to be reminded of the only Truth which is rooted in Love for us to practice living in the Truth.
There are two types of reality … True Reality and delusional reality. True Reality is not what we can know with our physical senses. True Reality is a state of Perfect Peace, Unity and Love where only Truth exists. It is unchanging and eternal. The world we see around us is an illusion. It is the world of time, space, and perception which is a dream It is a false interpretation of reality created by our ego, the small self. It is just a projection of our own thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes. We are actually all part of a single, unified consciousness, which is what is meant by non-dualistic. This unified consciousness of Truth is the Christ Consciousness that we can all have. So, there is Reality and a world of illusions which we perceive and interact with on a daily basis that most think is the only reality. We can enjoy this illusion, but we must remember the nature of this world around us we participate in it. Real Reality is the Perfect Love of God. It is our safe refuge. We can be safe in our True Reality through alignment, forgiveness and our spiritual awakening to the true meaning of Truth.
Merely by being what it is,
does Truth release you
from everything that is not.
The power of Love is liberating and the Truth will set you free. Freedom is one of the highest vibrations we can have. It is the part of Ultimate Love along with Joy, Appreciation and Empowerment. True Freedom is not about the circumstances we find ourselves in. It is a liberation from the illusions of delusional reality and the small self which is the ego. It is a recognition of our True Identity inherent in every one of us as part of God’s perfect creation. We sometimes do not even realize how bound we get with the fear we believe and create. The purpose of fear is to create more fear. When we Know Truth, we can cast fear aside and rest in God’s Love and our Creator’s ultimate control of all things. All things are in balance and harmony.
In the book of Mathew in the Bible, it says …
Look at the birds of the air, they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin.
It goes on and I LOVE this part …
But seek first the Kingdom of God and Righteousness and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Wow! Know the Truth. Know the Kingdom of Heaven is inside you. Trust in the power of our Creator. Do you see all the beauty and wonder of our world? Aren’t you amazed and in awe at it’s glory and how it flows in perfection? Your True Self in Truth and Love will free you from everything that is not Love. Be empowered. The chains of fear and all that comes from fear like worry will be released with us Knowing Truth.
Reality cannot “threaten” anything except illusions,
since Reality can only uphold Truth.
I love how it ties in. This reminds me of the Bible verse … “Perfect Love casts out all fear.” True Reality destroys our illusions and the delusional truth. They cannot co-habitate. True Reality is the Truth. We can become more sensitive to where we find ourselves when we realize we are in our small reality. When we find ourselves in situations where there is fear, right then we can practice our alignment with what is a loving response to find real Truth. We can respond with Love, Compassion, Positive Expectation and Belief.
