further insight into the bigger picture!

 “So how’s your world then?”

“Well it’s suffering and so are we.

There is global warming, which is

producing climatic change, giving rise to
uncertain and often frightening weather
conditions all over the world.

There’s global recession, where more

and more people have less and less.

We still have wars after thousands of

years of not wanting them.

Religions representing the same God

are still in dispute about who’s ‘way’ is the
right way…

…but generally speaking we’re good,

we’re good thanks, why?”

“Oh, I was just wondering whether to

come and settle there myself, but perhaps not,
thanks anyway”.

Well if you had a choice

would you?

3
 “What does it take to change your view?”
Perhaps a world disaster?
Perhaps the loss of a loved one?
Perhaps a war in your country?
Perhaps a life threatening illness?
Perhaps the end of a relationship?
Perhaps being separated from your family?

…and if you have suffered any of these things,

did you ever really understand why they happened?

Did you ever consider there might be a “Better Way”

to begin to understand why you don’t understand any of
these things?

If you are untouched by all of the above, meaning

you do understand why they all occur in the first place…

…and you have no fear of the past and the future…

…and your health is excellent, your mind clear,

your heart full of Love for your fellow Brothers and Sisters,
then you must have found that Better Way!

To begin that journey of understanding, let’s go back

to when it all appeared to start…

4
 Witnessing a
beginning…

Imagine if we were able to look upon

Heaven, which we cannot for it is infinite
and eternal, but just for this moment let’s
imagine that we can…

…there we would find it, suspended in

its perfect moment, always, filled with God’s
Divine Presence.

Then as we watch, something happens,

it is almost impossible to perceive at first.

It is like a tiny glimmer of something

being created, but it is not as He Creates…

…as we watch this tiny idea commit to

its creation, it begins to rush from His Kingdom.

We are witnessing a ‘beginning’, like the

birth of something, yet as we watch we cannot
believe what we are seeing. It is leaving its
natural home, Peace Love and Joy, from God in
His Kingdom.

It makes no sense!

5
 In a flight
of fear…

It appears to have let a moment of

independent consciousness take place, for
which its Father forgives it instantly…

… yet it is in this new found ability to

think, that immediately creates a fear within it…

…and in a flight of fear from its

Father, it begins to expand, constantly
separating, one part from another, in the belief
that it must create something beyond the Mind
of God. For surely he will not forgive this
moment of craziness.

If only it were to have remembered that

His Love of His Children knows no bounds, that
nothing had happened that wasn’t instantly
corrected by His Forgiveness…

…but there in lay the folly of this now

growing mind of a moment’s madness, for it
was so busy escaping there was no time to
recollect the Knowledge of itself.

6
 It continued to believe otherwise and
in its wish to avoid what it thought would be the
wrath of God, it created time and space...

…now moving into a new dimension

where everything is limited, because it is
creating itself…

…it is so afraid that it has now

become totally unaware that God has never
left it, and believes itself to be separate from
Him.

Fearfully continuing, out of guilt it

merely creates more… of exactly the same.

More separation, more guilt…

7
 Onwards and evermore miscreative, it
begins to make forms which in themselves are
the opposite to the Father’s Creations, for
they are made not of Love but from fear…

…moment by moment, the panic and

chaos is echoed throughout its miscreations…

…a universe is made where all things will

and must come to an end, because they are
not of God or by His Hand, but created
through fear and guilt, which He knows not.

A universe which is filled with

opposites, unlike the Home of God, where
there are no opposites, where only constancy
exists because all that has ever been created
by Him has been created in that manner…

…with His Love for all Eternity.

8
 Worlds apart…

Now split asunder, the simple

remembrance of the Father, of all that is
whole and true, has moved from vision…

…obscured by the ever growing separation.

As systems of stars, galaxies,

universes, and planets are created, so the
escape gives the impression that God is now
‘worlds apart’, yet at a moment’s thought could
this assault be returned to that moment of
separation…

…this is all that it was in the Mind of

God, but a moment and forgiven.

9
 And in that moment when all had
been set upon it’s path, there was need of an
ever present Voice of God…

…a Voice that would both speak

on behalf of God…

…and who’s acceptance of

Atonement for an act that although forgiven,
was to be behind the release of all the fear that
was to beset this now universal ego.

The Holy Spirit...

…for with all the illusion and the

seeming wonders of this miscreated universe,
only He would become the way Home.

10
 The ego made
bodies…

And so this thinking, growing

fear, spread itself out over time and space,
hiding in what it believed was distance, yet
never could the Love of His Sons be truly
separated, from each other, or from Him…

…as the ego force behind this

creation made forms for it’s consciousness to
occupy.

In linear time, over millions of

years, yet held within the forgiven thought of
but a moment by the Father…

…the ego made bodies to hold the

thoughts of this fearful mind, the miscreator
of such an illusion.

11
 And so it came
to pass…

And so it came to pass that beings

with the mind of the ego, who once bore the
Creators ability to extend Heaven with His
Blessing, in His Likeness, chose to create a
place of contradictions.

In Heaven, where all is ever

constant, where there is no fear, pain or
disharmony of the Mind, where there is no
physical body to be continually reborn, only
but to live in confusion, age and die…

…there was here the insanity of

an opposite for everything…

…where there was no Love of a

Brother or Sister, merely the memory of It and
all through lack…

…a lack of Knowing God.

12
 Brothers and Sisters, unable to
love one another, all for the ego’s wish to
conceal the Truth of where Love was really
held.

And so they strove to become

‘somebody’…

…to have more than each other, happiness

to believe that one was above another, to
need the missing expression of love from
another, to take and hold rather than to give.

A place where wealth was only

measured by things and possessions…

…and where all other emotions

that disabled Peace, Love and Joy seemed
to be so real.
and all
Where the form that held the ego other emotions
attack was under attack from that very same thing
pain that appeared to give it life. that seem to be real
despair
A form that was born crying, that
lived in fear throughout its life and was
to die often in fear, only to return to the
same world, yet again.

13
 What place is this?

What place is this where the spark of

God’s creative Mind is buried amidst the guilt
to then become the very opposite of Him?

It is the place where dreams seamlessly

move into nightmares…

…where all that is beautiful is turned

in a moment’s thought to ugliness…

…this is the place we have come

to believe is Home?

Only our deepest knowing, beneath the

weight of so much fear, is our salvation…

…a knowing that God has never left us,

that we have but a simple choice to return to
Him, to create within our minds a trust once
again, through He who keeps the door ever
open to God’s Kingdom.

14
 And who beckons us?

A Voice so known to us, deep within us,

yet seldom able to be heard…

…with the ego in constant control

projecting its illusion, in fear that we might one day
listen and discover Truth.

It is the Voice of God, calling to us to let

Him listen to our forgiveness of others and ourselves…

…where right-mindedness takes us to our

Real Inheritance, through His Atonement…

THE HOLY SPIRIT 

15
 And who brings this message to us?

A soul so known to us, who has been

here amongst us and is with us always…

…with the words to direct our mind and

to take us lovingly to the Holy Spirit…

…with the Knowledge of our Father,

our Beloved Brother Jesus brings this message to
us…

“Were I to dispel this world of illusion

for you, then you could not understand God’s
Kingdom…
…however, were you to dispel this
world of illusion you believe yourself in…
…the Kingdom would automatically be
yours and the understanding of It too”.

Peace, Love and Joy

16
 Ego or Truth?

The decision rests within us

all, to choose between the madness of our
illusory world or the path back to God with the
help of Jesus and God’s Voice, the Holy Spirit.

We cannot have both the world we

think is there which the ego creates, filled with
attack, pain, despair, happiness and all
emotions other than of God and be with Him.

We can however choose God, with

our Loving Brother to aid us, and the Holy
Spirit to enable our Atonement for the illusion
we have come to believe in.

Our ego would have us retain the

illusion, for in this retention the ego lives on…

…however, should we choose God,

then the ego cannot survive the loss of its
imaginary and miscreated kingdom.
Ego…… or ……Truth?

17
 Getting Home.

There has never been a time when we were

not at Home, with God.

Our separated-self however has been

locked in time awaiting realisation that we are in a
dream…

…and that we can return whenever we choose…

…and now with the words from our Beloved

Brother Jesus, we have a way to release this illusion in
exchange for our natural heritage…

…Heaven.

It is Simply a Matter of Choice!

18
 A.. OR B?..
A world in chaotic illusion and insanity
projected from your own mind, out of fear…

The simple knowledge that through

changing your mind about how you see the world
and yourself and your Brothers and Sisters…

…through eyes that have been able to

transcend this place of sleep, dreams and
nightmares and with the Holy Spirit’s guidance…

…a fear that was unfounded but is now …Peace, Love and Joy can become
reflected in all that you see around you. once again yours…

…where you feel at Peace with

yourself and with your Brothers and Sisters.
A world where suffering, fear, denial,
attack, pain and short lived happiness, appears Where your goal is to return to God in His
to exist. Heaven, through the Loving words of His Son.

19
 Brought to the bridge.

No more the never ending cycle

of birth, death and rebirth…

…a cycle, created by your ego

mind, to keep you from knowing your true
innocence.

Through the Holy Spirit’s

acceptance of your relinquishment of your
illusory world and physical form, in which
you had replaced Love with judgement…

…you are brought to the bridge,

from this world unto God’s Kingdom.

And so all that was, shall be restored

to the Father, all brought Home to be at One
with Him once again...

…even though you have never left!

20
 The Big Picture
21
 The Big Picture Explained.

As our belief in linear time continues, from that

moment of “What if?”, through our perception of it, with
form and matter, those who allow “enlightenment”…

…those who are “called” by the words of our

Beloved Brother Jesus through such works as “A Course in
Miracles”…

…choose to understand that we are not guilty.

Through their wish to forgive themselves and

their Brothers through the Holy Spirit, of the illusion that
the fear living through them has created…

…helps bring all the Children of God, Home.

22
 Where today’s teaching resides.

Everything you need to know, and work

toward the dispelling of guilt and fear, apparent life
and death, is contained within the words of Guidance
in…

“A Course in Miracles”

The message is as explicit as it has always

been, yet in this Course is there clarity without the
attachment of religion or ego, wishing to make of it
something that never was.

Set yourself on the path of freedom from

pain and suffering, from the inevitable chaos that the
ego will always create in an illusory world, universe,
and within you too.

23
 Reference.
At this time there are now other books which
uphold the text of “A Course in Miracles”.

As this book, they are in addition to the Course,

not instead of it, despite their standing alone as individual
works.

 Word from the Author.
My instruction and the intention behind it,
to convey the impossible, I hope will bring a perspective
rather than a perception, of the basic structure in the
work “A Course in Miracles”.

The images are not relative to “Vision”, but

are given to enable an understanding as to how we
arrived at this point in linear time, thus disassociating
ourselves from our Home and beginning the journey we
now believe ourselves to be within.

As a student myself, I have been blessed by my

past work for many years with Jesus, who has been seen
standing alongside me by many.

I am comforted by the knowledge that he is

always with me, his inspiration and Love has been
tangible at those times in my life when all else seemed
to fail.

To my Beloved Brother Jesus, my Love and

Gratitude for your guidance and ever uplifting support.

I place no name upon this page

  I have no body and have no age
Just words of Love from Spirit borne
That have no me and have no form.
