What is the Real World?
Jesus is referring to Heaven as the real world. It’s symbolic while you are in the realm of perception. Our combined egos have made the world that we see through our physical eyes. We see this world we have made through fear and bring witnesses to terror to our minds. We believe in the world we see because we believe in what we have made or created. Heaven- the real world can only be perceived through eyes forgiveness blesses. Holy Vision: The forgiven, those with Christ Vision see a world where terror is impossible and fear can’t be found.
The real world: Heaven holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in the physical world. A correction for the sights of fear and sounds of the battle which the physical world contains. The real world shows a world seen differently through
quiet eyes with a mind at peace. This world can be a step away from Heaven. Nothing but rest is there. No cries of pain or sorrow. Nothing remains outside forgiveness. The sights are gentle.
Only happy sights and sounds can reach the mind that forgives itself.
A forgiven mind does not need thoughts of death, attack and murder. It perceives itself surrounded by safety, love and peace. There is nothing to condemn or judge against. The world arises from a mind at peace with itself. No danger lurks in anything it sees, nothing real can be threatened. It is kind and it sees only kindness. So we are talking about the illusionary nature of fear.
The real world is a symbol of sin and guilt when the dream of them is over and you have been awakened to your true self as a Son of God (SOG). Hi wakened eyes, rebirth, Christ Vision perceives the sure reflections of his Father’s love and the certain promise that he is redeemed. The real world signifies the end of time. We are apocaloptimists in the Course about the end of time. True perception makes time purposeless and we return to the timelessness of God.
The Holy Spirit doesn’t need time when it has served it’s purpose. What is the purpose of time? Now he waits for the instant when God takes the final step and time has disappeared taking perception with it. Now the truth can be itself. The instant where we get to the point where God can take the last step is our goal because it contains the memory of God. We look upon a forgiven world. The Holy Spirit calls to us and comes to take us home. Reminding us of our true identity which forgiveness has restored to us.
