...said to have any real existence in Eternity as they are both transitory states. But the Author tells us repeatedly that the world as an outer picture of an inner condition must change as our minds are healed and we finally start projecting healing and right-mindedness upon it, instead of separation. So must the world be saved and accept salvation in direct proportion to our minds projecting it. Key statements for this are:
“Perception has a focus. It is this which gives consistency to what you see. Change but this focus, and what you behold will change accordingly. Your vision now will shift to give support to the intent which has replaced the one you held before.” (OrEd.Wb.181.2 )
and:
“The world will end in joy because it is a place of sorrow. When joy has come, the purpose of the world has gone. The world will end in peace because it is a place of war. When peace has come, what is the purpose of the world? The world will end in laughter because it is a place of tears. Where there is laughter, who can longer weep? ” (OrEd.Mn.14.5)
Adding here that the Holy Spirit, according to the Author, sees every situation as a Whole, and that nothing can be solved by fragmenting any part of the situation off and dealing with it separately. I think it is obvious that the salvation of the world and of our minds is the crux of the entire Atonement process. This process is said to be long over, by the way, and salvation, says the Course, has been perfectly accomplished already. ('True in Eternity – false in time') So, in time, we will have to play our special roles and cooperate under the Holy Spirit´s Guidance for the salvation of the world, which is the salvation of every mind in separation; of the Sons who sleep and need to be awakened.
What interests me the most at this point is the factual evidence and perceptual support for this process, or at least some progress in this regard. Maybe you feel the same, having completed the Workbook and studied the text on a regular basis, applying the Course´s teachings to our lives as best we can, individually and collectively. We are making progress in understanding and applying the Golden Rule, as difficult as it sometimes may seem to be. But what are the signals we receive from our global communities? What about poverty, hunger, war, oppression, slavery and abuse, or the environmental challenges on planet earth?
If the Golden Rule with its reciprocal meanings, which are basically two, would come to general application, how many of those aspects of the one single problem of the world would be able to endure for long?
“The "evolution" of man is merely a process by which he proceeds from one degree to the next. He corrects his previous missteps by stepping forward. “ (OrEd.Tx.2.40)
On a personal level, -and FE/TT-wise (False in Eternity and True in time), there is no doubt in my mind about the validity of this observation. But, again, what about humanity as a whole? How do we recognize our “missteps” and how do we allow and support their correction? All of those are aspects of the fundamental conflict between Love and fear, right? Do we need more hard evidence before we collectively choose one over the other? What we must do with all of conflict is described here:
“Conflict must be resolved. It cannot be evaded, set aside, denied, disguised, seen somewhere else, called by another name, nor hidden by deceit of any kind if it would be escaped. It must be seen exactly as it is, where it is thought to be, in the reality which has been given it, and with the purpose that the mind accorded it. For only then are its defenses lifted and the truth can shine upon it as it disappears.” (OrEd.Wb.333.1)
Many students find the “Holy Instant” the most powerful tool to get to the core of conflict, to the root of the ego, and – similar to an engine – to switch it off there at its root.
'Choose peace, experience peace, expand peace' is the three-in-one process which helps transform our sight from one of conflict into one of Peace. This can be experienced over and over.
And yet, perceiving an ego-dominated world based on the reversal of the Golden Rule ('someone must lose for someone else to gain'), there, too, exists something like an operating system – a common denominator – which can be recognized, accessed, corrected and resolved. Right? My research of late has strengthened this idea in my mind.
Recently, the quest for the above mentioned 'factual evidence and perceptual support for this process' has been kind of satisfied, namely by showing a potential paradigm shift towards the application of the Golden Rule on a global scale! But, as many people on Earth were anticipating great changes, citing and reviewing authentic prophecies and visionaries´ statements announcing “the end of the world” around 2012/2013, it seems that the true initial key moment for a quantum- leap-like paradigm shift went almost unnoticed. But it has happened!
I think, seeing the evidence, the world as we knew it has ended. And I think it is in accord with the entire 'mission plan' outlined in the original A Course In Miracles.
How? At the beginning of this Summer, when the below information reached me, I instantly knew I would have to pay very close attention. After a week of guided research into it, I decided to first consult someone with a knowledgeable background. As in; “Ask not the sparrow how the eagle soars, ….”. The one person I was sent to by Spirit is Franz Hoermann, professor for economy at the University in Vienna. I called him on the phone and interviewed him. I have no more doubt since he confirmed the following to me personally, as well as publicly. The OPPT/UCC filings of late has set the people free!
”Miracles are a kind of exchange. Like all expressions of love, which are always miraculous in the true sense, the exchange reverses the physical laws.” (OrEd.Tx.1.9)
Again, how? Until March 18th, 2013, there has been an International law governing all global trade, thus uniting all peoples under one commercial purpose, the “UCC-Universal Commercial Code”.
This system has regulated global trade and has set the legal framework on a global scale.
Now, from within this system there was operating a group of educated insiders who obviously applied Lesson 333 to it! [“Forgiveness ends the dream of conflict here.”] With their knowledge of Universal Truth and of the contrast compared to the various aspects of the unholy relationships based on the Golden Rule´s reversal, they have judged the entire system as being corrupt, dysfunctional and not redeemable.
This is much like what Course students do, when they honestly look at the ego´s thought-system! We just can´t reconcile illusion (lies) with truth, as the latter replaces the former once the contrast is seen and judged truly, and the Miracles do their work.
This has then led them to attempt to remedy the situation by constituting an “alternative”, through a trust called “OPPT – One People Public Trust”. And, not just some alternative! According to the system´s own rules they filed a series of official documents and therewith – in time - changed the entire paradigm from one of slavery to one of Absolute Freedom.
None of their claims have been rebutted, which established the content of their filings as legitimate and as applicable. (I am not familiar with legal jargon, so this is my attempt to summarize all this). This has allegedly heralded and introduced a new paradigm on planet Earth – namely one which affirms every individual as a “Son of God”, in Course terms, a manifestation in and of God´s Universe, free and fully responsible as an embodiment of God´s Son, in “Being” and “DOing”. (Note: “God” being expressed by the word symbol “Eternal Essence”).
Allegedly, as a result, the old paradigm has been “retired”. Technically, all corporations and banking (debt-financing) systems who have been operating against Universal and Cosmic Law have been foreclosed upon. Actually, all human constructs under the old paradigm seem to have been resolved, including the UCC itself, the OPPT etc.-
But, please don´t believe me. Please do your own research! In fact, this essay is written just to inspire you to do that, if you are guided to.
“[The Holy Spirit] brings all your insane projections and your wild substitutions which you have placed outside you to the truth. Thus He reverses the course of insanity and restores you to reason.”(OrEd.Tx.18.8)
So, on the relative level, what is it? A giant “reset”-moment on earth? Some of us may remember the planetary alignment around Christmas 2012, where all the planets of our Solar system were involved in a “zero crossing”? (The BBC had a great documentary on air about it!) The most important document of the “OPPT” UCC filings was filed on Christmas day. December 25th, 2012.
Again, everyone who reads this, and the documents which are linked, will surely consult with Guidance, and may also rejoice in the idea that with each and everyone being God´s expression on Earth, with interpersonal relationships based on Cosmic, Universal and Common Law, a chance for Peace and equality as Sons of God on Earth has at last arrived. The academic people I talked to predict a peaceful transition into the new paradigm within three years from now.
Personally, this development has had such a profound impact on my study, that I experienced a kind of boost while so many of Jesus´ predictions and statements became much clearer. Of course, every reader who has made it this far will have his/her own guidance in the matter. This is 'radical idealism' stuff! This is “A Course In Miracles”. Miracles happen!
In what way and how quick the changes will unfold depends on every individual´s decision and readiness for the “lesson in sharing”. In the Text we are told that:
“Just as the separation occurred over many millions of years, the Last Judgment will extend over a similarly long period and perhaps an even longer one. Its length depends, however, on the effectiveness of the present speed-up. We have frequently noted that the miracle is a device for shortening but not abolishing time. If a sufficient number of people become truly miracle-minded quickly, the shortening process can be almost immeasurable. It is essential, however, that these individuals free themselves from fear sooner than would ordinarily be the case because they must emerge from the conflict if they are to bring peace to other minds.” (OrEd.Tx.2.105-107)
And, as Jesus tells us in the Course, if it is of the Holy Spirit, it all will be an Answer in which no- one loses and everyone wins! Among equals and with One People under Universal and Cosmic Law, all of earth´s riches can be shared among all so that prosperity among the equal Sons of God can finally manifest.
Wishing you inspired fun with your research! All is made transparent in BEing and DOing of each
“IMbodiment” of “Eternal Essence”, and in unison with Heaven´s help!
“The song of freedom, which sings the praises of another world, brings to it hope of peace. For it remembers Heaven, and now it sees that Heaven has come to earth at last, from which the ego's rule has kept it out so long. Heaven has come because it found a home in your relationship on earth.” (OrEd.Tx.21.47)
