Words are pointers to symbols
And how awareness of the false narrative can potentially open minds to illusion(s) of this world
I am going to post my response to someones dislike of my "plugging" (hehe) of ACIM . ACIM is a course that liberally uses the scary word " God", a word pointer loaded with fear which you can (with accuracy) easily replace with the words “Awareness, Creator, Love or Source”.
Reality
What is there for me to say when” The Tao that can be told is not the true Tao” .
I am just trying to point to truth the best I can do with words, pointing to the unreality of the world and the Reality within.
It is tricky to talk to people about illusions (the insanity and the narrative of the world) as though it is a reality then switch to ” pointing” to Reality. And the genre is the “world system/narrative/conspiracy theory” . I talk about the current surface world dramas and do this because most readers know the media narrative is not true but many still believe that the world they perceive with their senses is Reality .
Perception follows beliefs, the closer to truth the beliefs are aligned the better. The media fearmongering and technology and $cience in the service of human madness is something all can become aware of. And how our inner state manifests the world as we know it.
The pattern
Following some recent media metaverse spread madness(which is always fear) I then try to point out to the solution , the way home(Love) . Its almost contradictory to be sure. I think as more people see the narrative of the world is false( unreal) this can be used as an opening. The aha moment of “this is not reality”.
Why ACIM?
I know some dislike me promoting the ACIM, I understand it does not appeal to some . Everyone has the best plan for their Self realization/enlightenment/Self remembrance , but I have to say ACIM does not claim a ” God” that is theirs . ACIM seeks to reverse all the wrong thinking of the world including undoing the teachings of religion ( many of which are in summary; Ego as God).
ACIM is not a religion its closer to a spiritual teaching course. I do plug it . It has been made freely available to all. I am glad it is a useful learning tool for some. Others have a different curriculum. Every learning course is customized and perfect as all roads lead to Rome Home. Of course we can delay and go off road but in time eventually we will arrive at our destination.
Yes belief restricts perception.
These days I'm learning how to let go and let "god".
