Dear Joshua,
A channeled book called ACIM (A course in miracles) which is said to be channeled from Jesus Christ, it says that Reality is beyond Perception. And it says how these countless perceptions (in countless dimensions, realms, universes, etc) in space and time was created: “Let us return the dream he gave away unto the dreamer, who perceives the dream as separate from himself and done to him. Into eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny, mad idea, at which your Eternal Self remembered not to laugh. In his forgetting did the thought become a serious idea, and possible of both accomplishment and real effects. (Together, we can laugh them both away, and understand that time cannot intrude upon eternity. It is a joke to think that time can come to circumvent eternity, which means there is no time.)”
After that it explains more on how it all happened and the results of the tiny, mad idea: “You who believe that God is fear made but one substitution. It has taken many forms, because it was the substitution of illusion for truth; of fragmentation for wholeness. It has become so splintered and subdivided and divided again, over and over, that it is now almost impossible to perceive it once was one, and still is what it was. That one error, which brought truth to illusion, infinity to time, and life to death, was all you ever made. Your whole world rests upon it. Everything you see reflects it, and every special relationship that you have ever made is part of it. You may be surprised to hear how very different is reality from what you see. You do not realize the magnitude of that one error. It was so vast and so completely incredible that from it a world of total unreality had to emerge. What else could come of it? Its fragmented aspects are fearful enough, as you begin to look at them. But nothing you have seen begins to show you the enormity of the original error, which seemed to cast you out of Heaven, to shatter knowledge into meaningless bits of disunited perceptions, and to force you to make further substitutions.”
So, Joshua, can you please tell me your interpretations and comments on it. And is it true for you, Joshua?

Dear Raheel,
What humans call God is what we call All That Is or The Oneness. Imagine that there was a consciousness called The Oneness who existed in pure joy and love yet without the ability to perceive itself. So The Oneness had a desire and that desire was the ability to perceive itself. The Law of Attraction answered this pure desire and thus, physical reality was created. The Oneness perceived the life that was created, yet the life did not perceive the Oneness until man. Man had the ability to look up and sense that there was something more to reality, that there was a creator, and man called this being God.
So The Oneness now became God. The Oneness is love which we also call pure positive energy. Humans (and all consciousness) are part of The Oneness. A grain of sand on the beach is the beach and a drop of water in the ocean is the ocean. Humans are part of the Oneness and all of you are what you call God. You are perceiving yourself from infinite points of perspective all looking back at what you call God. The Joke is that you don’t understand that you are God. The joke is that you look at God and you fear God. The joke is that you fear yourself even though you are beings of pure positive love.
Now there is nothing wrong with this. It is the perspective that is important. You have free will and if you choose to believe in a judgmental God to be feared and is separate from you, then that is completely fine. It is a point of perspective and it is valid. Yet, it might be counter to what you say you want. It is an irrational fear based upon a flawed and limiting belief and it is not true. You are God and you are pure love. That is the truth of you personally and everyone else as well.
If you take a look at every life that is living now and every life that has ever existed you will notice that they are all unique. What does that tell you? No two lives have ever experienced the same thing. Every new life is a new experience of life. It is all completely unique. This must lead you to know that the uniqueness is built into the system of reality. It is by design that every life is unique. If the goal is to have unique perspectives of life, then what is the purpose of life? It is to explore reality in a new way that gives rise to a unique perspective of this reality. Every life is an exploration of reality which allows The Oneness to expand infinitely.
You are a point of consciousness experiencing reality in a new and unique way. Because you have free will, you can guide your own life and create it to be as you desire. You might have held certain intentions prior to your birth, yet you are not attached to these if you choose to explore some other aspect of reality. It’s completely up to you.
As the Law of Attraction answered the pure desire of The Oneness, so too will it answer your pure desires. You can choose anything in this reality and as long as you are aligned with what is wanted, it must become present in your experience. This is the true power and awesomeness of the universe. Physical reality is part of the universe but not all of it. There is the nonphysical aspect of reality as well. The nonphysical encompasses the physical and is part of the physical. The two aspects of the universe are unified. They are not separate.
So we ask you Raheel, why do you want to know? Why do you care? What is the purpose of your question? What does all this have to do with the unique experience you are living now in your life as a physical being exploring physical reality?
Joshua
