Snow Globe World
The expression of consciousness known as Liz shifted from ego to Spirit consciousness over four years ago. And one thing that has come along is a kind of “recovered memory” of a time as a child of around seven when she had some sort of Christ experience which was met by fierce ego resistance. The memory of this experience has spontaneously surfaced and unfolded over the past few years, revealing many unconscious responses and implications for Liz’s life. One aspect of the experience was Liz felt at the time that Light and dark were fighting over her. She felt this rather impersonally, as though she was not involved, but could only be the object of this battle, small as she was compared to these forces.
Liz didn’t remember any of it,
it was denied, repressed, she went on, and then at twenty A Course in
Miracles came into her awareness, she had mystical experiences and hovered
for a time on the edge of Spirit-consciousness, then this passed, and she went
on in ego-consciousness, but with Spirit as her Guide, Teacher, and,
eventually, Constant Companion. (See her memoir).
Of course, “battle over” the
expression of consciousness known as Liz was an ego interpretation as Spirit
has no need to fight with what is not there. Ego wonders why these times of
Light came and went, why didn’t Liz stay in the Light, did she have blocks,
etc. But Spirit does not see it this way, It does not see a personal story.
Spirit sees consciousness as consciousness is, split, with vacillations of
Light and dark, swinging between the Reflection of Truth (Spirit) and the
delusion consciousness is real (ego). Sometimes consciousness moves from the
delusion it is real to the realization it is not, to reflect the Light of
Christ, the Extension of God to consciousness. But consciousness is not real, it
is an impossible idea, so it is no more meaningful for it to move to the Light
than for it to stay in the dark, because I (Christ, not an identity, but
Reality) am here watching this, completely untouched by it either way. It is my
Light that breaks into consciousness and disrupts the darkness, but this does
not turn consciousness into Reality, only makes it a dim reflection of Reality.
If you’ve seen The Wizard
of Oz, you may remember how Glenda the Good Witch watched over the world of
Dorothy and her friends in a snow globe, sometimes descending into it herself
to help. This is how I see consciousness, a snow-globe world I watch, and
sometimes seem to take some action in through Spirit, the Idea of God in
consciousness. It is all just an idea, as no part of God is ever lost to God
but can only seem to have wandered off to (perhaps) wander back again.
Will ego in the expression of
consciousness known as Liz go dormant so that it reflects only the Light? It
remains to be seen. But, either way, it does not matter one iota. Every seeming journey in
consciousness is complete in that it has never been necessary. In fact, it has
never happened.
