What is the World You See?

You Made Your Way of Seeing to See in Darkness.

It is impossible not to believe what you see, but it is equally impossible to see what you do NOT believe.

Perceptions are built up on the basis of experience, and experience leads to beliefs. It is not until BELIEFS are fixed, that perceptions stabilize. In effect, then, what you believe you DO see.

Through the eyes of Christ, only the real world exists, and can BE seen.

As you decide so will you see. And all that you see but witnesses to your decision.

Do not seek vision through your eyes. For you made your way of seeing, that you might see in darkness, and in this you are deceived. Beyond this darkness, and yet still within you, is the vision of Christ, who looks on all in light.

Your vision comes from fear, as His from Love. And He sees for you, as your witness to the real world.  He is the Holy Spirit’s manifestation, looking always on the real world and calling forth its witnesses, drawing them to you.

He will show you the real world, because God gave you Heaven. Through Him, your Father calls His Son to remember. The awakening of His Son begins with his investment in the REAL world, and by this, he will learn to re-invest in himself.

Reality is one with the Father AND the Son, and the Holy Spirit blesses the real world in their name.

The real world was given you by God, in loving exchange for the world you made, and which you SEE.

If this were the real world, God would be cruel. For no father could subject his children to this as the price of salvation and be loving.

Sit quietly and look upon the world you see and tell yourself, “The real world is not like this".

The world you see is the delusional system of those made mad by guilt.

Consciousness is the level which engages in the world and is capable of responding to both external & internal impulses. Having no impulses from itself, and being primarily a mechanism for inducing response, it can be very wrong.

The physical world exists only because man can use it to correct his UNBELIEF, which placed him in it originally. As long as man KNEW he did not need anything, the whole device was unnecessary.

World is Meaningless and that Upsets You.

You may think you see a fearful world, a dangerous world, a hostile world, a sad world, a wicked world, a crazy world," and so on. However, if the world seems positive rather than negative to you, you might think the world good or satisfying.

You may not yet understand why these "nice" adjectives belong with the negative thoughts but remember that a "good world" implies a "bad" one, and a "satisfying world" implies an "unsatisfying" one.

All terms seeming quality does not matter.

It does not matter to what you think is pleasant and what you think is unpleasant. For there is no difference between them.  What is meaningless is neither good nor bad. Why, then, should a meaningless world upset you?

If you could accept the world as meaningless and let the truth be written upon it for you, it would make you indescribably happy. But because it is meaningless, you are impelled to write upon it what you would have it be.

It is this you see in it. It is this that is meaningless in truth. Beneath your words is written the Word of God.

The truth upsets you now, but when your words have been erased, you will see His.  That is the ultimate purpose of this study.... peace to your mind and the world.

All Souls that God created ARE His Sons.

Your Kingdom is not of this world because it was given you from beyond this world.

The world is not left by death but by truth, and truth can be known by all those for whom the Kingdom was created, and for whom it waits.

If this were only a material universe, material man would never be able to arrive at the concept of the mechanistic character of such an exclusively material existence. This very mechanistic concept of the universe is in itself a nonmaterial phenomenon of mind, and all mind is of nonmaterial origin, no matter how thoroughly it may appear to be materially conditioned and mechanistically controlled.

If the universe were truly what the materialist regards it to be, man as a human machine would then be devoid of all conscious recognition of that very fact.

Without the consciousness of the concept of values within the spirit-born mind, the fact of universe materialism and the mechanistic phenomena of universe operation would be wholly unrecognized by man. One machine cannot be conscious of the nature or value of another machine.

Man is a material fact of nature, but his life is a phenomenon which transcends the material levels of nature in that it exhibits the control attributes of mind and the creative qualities of spirit.      Taken from "Urantia Papers".
