Holy Spirit: Clarity can never come from words. Clarity comes from willingness to receive and accept understanding. Please give Me your willingness now. A picture or a diagram is useful only as a symbol to assist in your acceptance of this idea. The idea, however, is abstract and cannot be depicted in a symbol.
Within this diagram, there is the level of conscious-self called Who I think I am. This is actually a collection of thoughts with applied meaning and judgments that define you and your world for you. This level of consciousness is pure illusion. Below Who I think I am, there are varying levels of subconscious. These levels of subconscious feed the conscious with thoughts, concepts and beliefs, which the [seeming] conscious selects from and reacts to without awareness that it is doing such. The first level of subconscious is the individual subconscious. This level of thought and belief is acquired within one or more lifetimes through the belief that one is an individual traveling through space and time. This level of subconscious is based upon illusion and in reaction to illusion as if it is reality. This is the subconscious that you seem to make in reaction to your experiences within the world. The primary belief on which this level is built and maintained is the belief that illusion is causative and you are the victim of the world you see. The second level of the subconscious is beyond the belief in the individual and beyond the belief in space and time. [The ego] is the metaphysical belief in separation that is shared within the mind of the sleeping Son of God. This is the dreamer of the dream. This is the first level of illusion. This is the level at which healing must take place. This is the level of mind that seems to project space and time and the belief of individual bodies and souls. At this level, the Son of God is not separate although it is completely deluded into thinking it is, since it is fully focused on the level of experience above (conscious and individual subconscious). What seems to be the lowest level of the subconscious is the Holy Spirit, which is not a low level of subconscious at all, but it is a level of subconscious that exists between the level of illusion and Reality or Truth. This is the level of subconscious that sends miracle impulses into the illusion of space and time in order to call the mind back to its Reality. This is awareness beyond the dreamer of the dream, but it is aware of both the dreamer and its dream. It is able to send messages to the dreamer by passing them through the dream itself. This is necessary, because the dreamer has forgotten that it is dreaming, and it is fully focused on the dream. The Truth is everywhere, and so it is depicted around the diagram. The self, at all of its levels of consciousness, is capable of an awareness of or connection to Truth. This “opening” to Reality is depicted as the super-conscious, since it seems to bypass the levels of subconscious and reach directly into the experience of Truth. Questioner: Thank you. This is clear. Now, how is this useful to us in our healing? Holy Spirit: First of all, it shows that Reality isn’t what you have always thought it was, and you aren’t who you have always thought you are. It also shows that you are connected with your brother, even at the level of ego. Questioner: Can we talk about that a bit more? Holy Spirit: Ego exists at the level of mind. Individual subconscious and individual consciousness are not at the level of mind. Those levels are merely a projection of thoughts. The mind is literally projecting these thoughts and then experiencing them as if it is within the thought. But, as we have seen in the diagram, the level of mind is a different level and not within the thoughts that it projects. The thoughts projected by the ego are like receiver and transmitter thoughts. They allow the ego to experience its own thoughts without being contained within them, just as a dreamer experiences a dream without actually being in the dream. Questioner: Ok. Please continue with how this is helpful to us in our healing. Holy Spirit: This [diagram] depicts Reality as all encompassing, and it depicts the ego as a small blip of error-thought within Reality. It shows that the error is focused on itself and has lost touch with Reality, but that Reality continues unencumbered by the error. You can see from this depiction that when the error is undone, it will just disappear and Reality will never have been affected, not even for an instant. This depicts illusion as illusion and completely unnecessary to Truth, which means that it also shows you that you do not need to hold onto illusion unless it is your choice [to do so]. In other words, you are free. Questioner: Ah-h-h-h-h! Yes, I see it! And now, we are back to simplicity, aren’t we? Holy Spirit: Yes. The Holy Spirit is your bridge through the dream from the dream to Reality. Your way out of illusion is to deny the voice of delusion and [to] listen to the Voice that speaks for Truth. Questioner: The body is nothing but a communication device into the mind. Holy Spirit: Exactly! |
