Manifesting the Undoing of Not-Truth
After it wrote last week’s article, “The Self-concept Fell
Away” (http://acimmentor.blogspot.com/2017/04/the-self-concept-fell-away.html) this mind had the sense it wasn’t accurate to say that
the self-concept falling away was only the beginning of self-identification falling
away. What it saw was that indeed self-id had fallen away but it had not yet fully
caught up to this fact.
This split awareness is not new to
this mind. For many years now it has seen that life in the world is over for it.
It knows this with certainty but then it is back in the story of an unfolding
process of undoing. This is because it vacillates between the two diametrically
opposed parts of it. In one part it is not so much that it is past the world as
that it has never entered it. In the other it is in a process of leaving. It is
this experience that led this mind to truly understand how the universe of form
is the unfolding in time of an idea (not-Truth) that was over as soon as it was
thought. This split-mind is the manifestation of this.
For one part of this mind there
has never been a self. For another it is in a process of self-id falling away. This
experience of diametrically opposed views of the same subject is beginning to
extend into other experiences as well. One moment this mind is immersed in
something in the world and the next it has a 180-degree change in view and sees
that it is nothing. This, too, is not new to this mind. What is new is how
often, how quickly, and how starkly the shift occurs and comes into focus. What
was once theory and then rare and vague experience is becoming a more frequent,
more immediate experience. And all this mind has to do is watch it unfold. That
is all this mind has ever had to do, but it took a lot of learning to know
this.

If this does not clarify just ask again!
Whoa! This profound sentence just blew me away and gave me an opening into freedom. Whoa!
Kids want to dress up like adults when young but when they become adults, they sorely miss the childhood.
There is a great problem those who renounce are unaware of in their quest to become complete: if one renounces an item during the first step, it is implied that one will not seek it after the last step -- if for example, one renounces sensual interaction with a girl or a boy at the beginning, one cannot expect to be surrounded by a damsel or casanova in heaven for the effort put in -- such a deal is possible but it will be time-limited if it isn't one's deepest longing. So it is better to let go with discrimination in a gradual way. No one is ever forced to grow fast spiritually according to a strict time-table -- innocent shortcomings don't affect the quality of life.
3:00 am awakened from deep sleep as thoughts of sadness rise up as fear. I stay as the witness and again in the space of acceptance, it passes with deep sleep and silly dreams. Morning here, pups and peace and gratitude.
Acceptance of "what is" seems to be what this mind has awakened to.
I'm sure that many of us have had that exact same experience of surety and peace that comes from KNOWING that all is well and in perfect order (holy instant?) but, as you seem to be pointing out, we then flip back to our ego split-mind and wring our hands in doubt and confusion, trapped in an endless cycle of "everything is beautiful" and "OMG, life really sucks" LOL. Even as I write this, I know it is totally meaningless and useless, but still I continue... why? why bother? Because I simply feel like it... I have absolutely no expectation or concern about what it means or how it will affect or change anything or anyone.. ahhh, it feels so good to be free of that aspect of insanity...
Be well, my brothers and sisters, and rest in the Peace of God, where nothing unreal exists and nothing real can be threatened... and, please, don't take your (little) self so seriously... or not....LOLOLOL
Hi, Deb... True... and not-True.. or not.. yes? no?
Love you all, because we are One, and I love me...
Frankly ;-)
Peace out in now.
From Lesson 221, What is Forgiveness:
"Forgiveness, on the other hand, is still, and quietly does nothing. It offends no aspect of reality, nor seeks to twist it to appearances it likes. It merely looks, and waits, and judges not. He who would not forgive must judge, for he must justify his failure to forgive. But he who would forgive himself must learn to welcome truth exactly as it is."
