Logic dictates that either God Is, or God isn’t.
God. Logic dictates that either God Is, or God isn’t. Let us begin with the assumption that God Is, and from this foundation, ask a vital question. Does it matter one iota to Source whether we believe? Consider the Creator of streams and rivers, lakes and oceans, forests and mountains, skies and worlds, suns and stars, galaxies and universes. The One who breathes life into all that exists. Could such a boundless, Infinite Presence be concerned with whether we believe? No, our belief does not alter Eternal Truth. We are God’s first Creation, and in our innocence, we have simply forgotten that God is Love. Reflect on a Love that is Eternal and unchanging, steadfast and unfailing, faithful and comforting, transforming and patient, compassionate and unbreakable. A Love that is unconditional, all-encompassing, immeasurably powerful, and forever giving. A Love incapable of loss and magnificent in glorious beauty. A Love so pure that sin is not recognized, so logically, it is impossible to sin against God. Love could never create Hell, therefore Eternal torment cannot exist. The lie of Satan is the great deception of our ego, designed to instill fear and place the enemy “out there”. Logical truth softly teaches that our only enemy resides within our bipolar mind. This false mind arose from a fleeting, irrational fear of God, brief, insane, yet powerful enough to make us forget our True Nature.
Yet, deep within the subconscious lies the memory of our Divine Essence. We are Christ, God’s first Creation, and created for one reason. Love must be shared in order to grow. Jesus’ name is not Jesus Christ, it’s Jesus of Nazareth, and he was the first to perfectly understand his Oneness with Christ. God’s Essence is one of complete extension, and all Divine Attributes were instilled within our resplendent minds at the moment of our Creation. But Reality radically changed for us when we asked a question that God did not answer. If put into words, our innocent inquiry was like, “What else is there?” God did not answer, not because He withheld Truth, but because there is nothing else but the perfection of Reality manifested in Heaven. In that “mad, tiny instant” when communication ceased, our infinitely powerful minds, gifted with God’s same ability to create, brought forth this dream universe through the “Big Bang.” Why? Because the first fear created the first ego, and the ego sought a place to hide from God. Instantly, time began. And from that moment, we became our own worst enemy, punishing ourselves for the false belief that we had somehow offended God. Truthful logic proclaims that God never stopped speaking, we terminated listening because when dreaming, we are not communicating.
Why did God not answer with the simple Truth, that nothing else exists? Because of Love. In His Infinite Wisdom, God understood that Christ must begin to comprehend what Love is by direct experience of what Love is not. Thus, in this world we created, we experience war and crime, prisons and pollution, poverty and corruption, jealousy and greed, hatred and despair. We suffer under the weight of lies, worry, depression, and the ultimate fear of death. Yet, through this suffering, we come to understand what we do not want. Our misguided minds become convinced we are forever alone and because we believe it, we experience it as reality. However, separation is impossible due to God’s second Creation. The Holy Spirit is not separate from us but a Living Presence within every mind that believes it’s a body. Every moment of every hour of every day this Voice gently explains it is impossible to be separate from God’s Eternal Love. The Spirit also softly advises us to always forgive and choose again to react with the power of love instead of fear. I know we’re not separate because of receiving answers to questions I didn’t even know I had. These insights often arrive immediately after awakening from sleep, when the false ego mind is quietest. As the memory of God’s Love returns, I’m experiencing a growing peace and no longer disturbed by anything. Anything means nothing when I have everything and so do you. When you experience this, and you surely will, you’ll simply know that separation is nothing but an illusion we have falsely believed.
Jesus’ last words while being crucified were, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” He perfectly understood God sees nothing to forgive because we’re dreaming. Jesus said this to place into the collective human consciousness the extreme importance of learning how and why to forgive. By forgiving others we are really forgiving ourselves because we are One. When peeling a layer from an onion, it still looks, tastes and smells like an onion. Eventually the last layer is gone and so is the onion. The smallest act of forgiveness peels off a layer of ego, resulting in us becoming more awake in our dream. Eventually the last layer is gone, the ego vanishes and in that cosmic instant God will awaken us from our dream. This is not a conjecture or belief but a one hundred percent, irrefutable, guaranteed fact. Everyone we have loved, worked with, cried with, lived with and laughed with in our dream, will awaken also. Once we perfectly forgive all, always, we will awaken in the Heaven we have never left.
Use the gift of your imagination and visualize smelling, hearing and seeing absolute perfection in everything. The grass, flowers, trees, skies, and even the air will lovingly radiate changing aromas, harmonies, and colors. This mesmerizing and stunning beauty will be the likes of which we’ve never experienced and occurs during our very first moments in Paradise. All of our senses will be stunningly enhanced. Food will be far beyond delicious and fashionable gorging may become the norm because it’s impossible to gain weight. Our eyes will see colors in once impossible spectrums and these pigments will majestically vibrate into breathtaking musical symphonies. We’ll be able to view tiny objects hundreds of miles away or examine the atomic structure of a stunning diamond. Imagine being capable of hearing air movements in the upper atmosphere or talking with a friend on the summit of a distant mountain. Our ears will understand the subtle perfections in chords, melodies, concords, euphonies and powerful compositions. When gliding fingers over an immaculate carpet with closed eyes we’ll know the color is blue and if it oscillates into gold, we’ll realize that also. Red, pink, yellow, white and orange roses will be known simply by tantalizing aromas, we’ll smell color. Picture smelling a bonfire next to a Celestial Sea one thousand miles away. All this is just a tiny glimpse of the glory we will share forever.
“My Dream of Heaven” was written in 1898 by Rebecca Ruter Springer. Her non-fiction writing style is deeply spiritual, reflective, and visionary. Several friends commented her autobiography was too beautifully descriptive for an overactive imagination to pen. Rebecca’s five senses were immediately enhanced upon entering Heaven and she admitted her excellent writing skills were still inadequate to properly describe the majestic splendor observed in a perfect environment. Following are brief excerpts from memory. Rebecca died and was carried to Heaven by her uncle who had transitioned as an officer in the Civil War. He set her down in a beautiful meadow, and she said one could get lost by the perfection of delicate, heart-shaped leaves in a single violet. She was wonderfully surprised to be wearing a white and beautiful shimmering gown. They casually strolled into a river and the water came up to their throats. She said, “Stop! We’ll drown!” because the “earth thoughts” persisted. Her uncle looked at her with a twinkle in his eye and said, “We don’t drown here.” They went down over 40 feet and talked at length surrounded by beautiful light rays and refractions, similar to being inside a prism of diamonds. When they came out of the wondrous water her hair and dress were instantly dry. Miraculously she felt as if she could fly. Later, she did. All water in Heaven flows from the Throne Room of God and prepares the Soul for the Celestial Life. She picked a fruit and said the flavor was extraordinary, by far surpassing anything she had ever tasted. The juice squirted on her gown and instantly vanished. Nothing impure exists in Heaven. Numerous streets were made of gold and surrounded by magnificent mansions constructed of textured stone, precious woods and beautiful minerals. All had breathtaking lawns and stunning terraces. Jesus has explained in the Bible, “In my Father’s House there are many mansions.” Excited children came into her home who were artisans, they had delicate tools and joyfully planted live roses in her marble floors. There was no sun as glowing light radiated from the very air and she explained night was a golden softening of glory. Time was meaningless, after days, weeks, or months of flawless wonder, she arrived at a gilded, sparkling, and glistening golden lake. Rebecca truthfully explained the vista was so stunning that she was almost not spiritually strong enough, even in Heaven, to gaze upon the dazzling splendor. Dozens of majestic gliding watercraft were driven by a technology with which she wasn’t familiar. Timeless days later they went to a gigantic outdoor theater with a dome roof supported by columns of jasper, sapphire, ruby, and pearl. Softly singing angels, fairies, and cherubs were floating and flying under the handcrafted silver canopy. Martin Luther of the Reformation walked out on the marble stage and talked of the effects the Lutheran Church had on Europe in the 1500s. All heads were bowed after his dissertation, contemplating his shared wisdom. She happily glanced up as Jesus gracefully strode to the diamond pulpit. His towering demeanor was breathtakingly glorious. He was wearing a captivating golden suit and a sparkling light emanated from his very being. Jesus’ smile was enchanting, and his dancing blue eyes spoke of warmth and love. He explained God’s purposeful link between our earthly existence and guaranteed Heavenly life. Rebecca lamented that if she’d understood how closely the saints and angels had protected her earthly journey, she wouldn’t have worried so much. Jesus then spoke of how their beginning life in Heaven would evolve. He joyfully explained the countless wonders they’d observe, the pristine beauty of the jungles, the towering mountain magnitudes, a Celestial Sea brimming with playful dolphins and whales, and aquatic life beautifully orchestrated in perfect harmony. Jesus talked of the beautiful worlds, expanding galaxies and astonishing universes that they would explore with the excitement of children for all Eternity. As mentioned in the beginning of the excerpts Rebecca sadly apologized for not knowing any earth language which could properly explain his fascinating teachings, engrossing lectures, riveting conversations and mesmerizing stories. All discussions focused on the glories and mysteries of our upcoming Celestial Life. She mentioned in the first chapter how she felt when first awakening. When the realization dawned that Heaven had no wars, no crimes, no locks, no disease, no prisons, no hospitals, no poverty, no money, no governments and no death, Rebecca’s heart entered into a state of boundless, thankful and loving ecstasy for our Creator God.
Upon awakening from her coma she briefly saw the Throne Room of God. One would not be able to behold this in human form. The Room glistened with Power, Glory, Holiness and Love. The structure was far too fascinating to even attempt a description. Feelings of perfect Peace, Joy, Euphoria, and Love saturated to the very core of her being and were immense beyond thought. The last vista she saw before awakening was the Celestial Sea. There were huge, wooden, sailing schooner ships adorned with all the flags of the world bringing new arrivals from Earth. Their loved ones were excitedly awaiting on shore. She said, “Oh death, where is thy victory? Where is thy sting?”
When finishing this book I was somewhat at a loss for words and reflected on the meaning for several days. We truly do not have the slightest idea of how enormous God’s Love is for us. If one lives a life of pain, sickness, despair, fear, and heartache it will be as nothing compared to the first minute of finally being Home. Our tiny earthly existence pales greatly to the wonder, glory, beauty, joy, peace, and Love we will all share. Eternity is going to be an amazing adventure. Our ending in time is the beginning of Forever where our true education will actualize. It beggars the imagination to even faintly understand what it will be like to Co-Create with God. Anything and everything we may want to create will occur due to our continual learning. Our powerful, splendid, minds will no longer be hindered by a frail, limited human body and will operate at one hundred percent efficiency. I truly believe if we eventually want to design a universe, we’ll be taught. God Is, Bob
Very Important Afterthoughts
Some of the most factual and truest words ever written are found in The Bible. However, please consider that “A Course In Miracles” is far more spiritually accurate. I know, I’ve studied and written about The Course daily for over 15 years and have found absolutely nothing that is not true. Sadly, The Bible is full of untruths.
The Bible: 1 Corinthians 2:9
It is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
My perception of this sentence has changed drastically over the years. I’ve mentioned in my manuscript “A Paradox of Grace: Where Power Meets Delight” that our perception of anyone or anything is always false because perception is in the domain of our insane ego. My perception used to falsely comment, “Yeah, so what happens to those who don’t love Him?” From years of studying “A Course In Miracles”, I believe the following logical thinking was given by Divine Wisdom. I’ve explained in “A Paradox” that everything we have seen, heard, touched, tasted and smelled since birth is stored in our subconscious database. Have you ever tried to remember a name and several days later it pops into your conscious thought? The reason this occurs is that you consciously placed the question into your database and it searches until the answer is found. I’ve read the 1333-page Course all the way through and know this thinking is in there, somewhere. However, I have no idea where. My subconscious found the answer and I “heard” the following upon awakening from a recent nap. The Course teaches that humanity is Christ, and we are all split off parts of the One completely healed Christ Mind. The wonderful news is that the exact same Holy Spirit Who healed Christ is in our minds also. The Holy Spirit cannot fail in Her Divine Mission because this is God’s Will. We will all awaken in the Heaven we’ve never left because the identical same occurrence that happened to Christ will happen to us. The Holy Spirit showed Christ God’s perfect Heaven, and He remembered God’s Eternal Love. Christ forgave Himself, began to Love Himself and His forgotten Love of God returned. He awoke in the Heaven He’d never left. There we have it, just as Christ we have all deeply loved God at one point in our past and have innocently forgotten. Once we’ve achieved perfection in forgiveness, remember when we forgive another, we’re really forgiving ourselves, we’ll start loving ourselves and our forgotten immense Love of God will return. All of Heaven is anxiously awaiting our return because Heaven and God will not be whole and complete without us. The things that God has prepared for us are silently waiting for our awakening and acceptance. We all Love God and He’ll awaken us the cosmic instant we’ve achieved perfection in forgiveness and our memory returns. God Wills this to be so-and-so it is. Amen.
“A Course In Miracles” 14 Core Beliefs
1. This world is not real. God did not create this world nor even know of its existence. The entire universe is an illusion dreamt by the Son of God.
2. Pure non-duality: Anything that comes from God must be exactly like Him. God could not create anything that is not perfect, or else He wouldn’t be perfect.
3. Consciousness is the domain of the ego and was conceived after we dreamt of separation.
4. Spirit is unchanging, perfect, and Eternal. This is the state of Heaven.
5. Truth is not different for everyone. Truth is truth.
6. There are no levels in Heaven. All conflict arises from the concept of levels. We are either enlightened and back in Reality with God or still dreaming of separation. Only life in Heaven is real.
7. Life in all its myriad forms or possibilities is already scripted at the instant of separation. The only choice is in our mind, where we decide to identify with the Holy Spirit or with the ego, when interpreting each moment.
8. Life in this world is insane. Nothing makes sense in this world. The world was made as an attack on God.
9. There is only One Higher Self, the Holy Spirit. Also known as the Voice for God, our memory of God, or the reflection of God’s Love in our dream.
10. Collectively, we are the Son of God. God created only One Son of God.
11. There is no evil or devil, only illusory madness projected by our ego mind and thankfully, they are not real.
12. Every attack is an attack upon ourselves. We project our unconscious guilt onto (dream) figures or situations that seemingly attack us. So now they are guilty, not us. The cause of our guilt arises from our imagined separation from God.
13. Life is a lesson. Every opportunity is used by the Holy Spirit to teach forgiveness to undo the ego mind.
14. Time and space are illusions, and Spirit has nothing to do with them.
Epilogue
The grandeur of God’s Eternal Love for all is beyond comprehension. When first accepting the Truth, that God Is over 50 years ago I had no idea it would lead to the constantly growing levels of understanding experienced today. Consciousness and perception belong to the ego and are always false. Knowledge and wisdom are of Spirit and always true. The famous philosophical statement, “I think, therefore I am,” was coined by René Descartes in 1637. When God was asked, “Who are You?”, the response was simply, “I Am.” Now that we recognize consciousness as the domain of the ego, Descartes’ statement transforms into “I think, therefore I am not.” Say a prayer, reflect on this truth, and understanding will follow.
At first, the concept that I Am Christ was difficult to accept. After weeks of study and prayer, logic revealed the deeper Truth that everyone is. We are remembering, awakening, transcending from limited human beings into resplendent and unlimited Christ Beings. As previously explained, God’s very nature is one of complete extension, meaning all that Source Is has been freely given to us. We are God’s first Creation, and Heaven was formed in perfection for us. The Divine asks nothing then that we simply forgive and has never once even required belief. This alone reveals the depth of God’s Unconditional Love. Our understanding of Love’s immense power is unfolding, and we are awakening within our dream. A peaceful mind is our natural state offering a life of serenity. Knowing we cannot sin against God, Hell does not exist, and that life outside Heaven is impossible, are Divine Messages humanity has sought for countless centuries. To receive these Truths in the year 2025 is a profound blessing. The knowledge that we live forever and are destined to be Co-Creators with God for all Eternity bears repeating due to the splendid significance. Love is not an emotion, but the most powerful Force in all of Creation. As you share these Truths, you will be gifted with deeper mysteries to understand and share. This is guaranteed. What higher calling could we possibly have than assisting the Trinity in awakening God’s Son? When we have forgiven all, embraced peace, and stepped into true happiness, the perfect cosmic moment will arrive. God will awaken us from our dream, and we will finally realize that every experience in time has prepared us for our True Home in Eternal Heaven. Bob
As previously written, when peeling away a layer of an onion it still looks, tastes and smells like an onion. Eventually the last layer will be gone and so is the onion. This exact same fate will happen to our ego. Every time we forgive we’re peeling off another layer of our ego. Eventually the last layer will be gone, the ego will vanish into the nothingness from which it came, and we’ll awaken in the Heaven we’ve never left. God Is, Bob
