The Course in order to communicate with us on the level we can understand at this moment speaks in symbols of symbols.
Yes Linda, that is it.? Upon Gary's first appearance with Pursah and
Arten, it was noted that they were appearing as (symbols) whose words
would help facilitate the disappearance of the universe (pg. 5).
Pursah goes on to say: "...we are symbols because anything that
appears to take on a form is symbolic.? The only true reality is God
or pure spirit, which in Heaven are synonymous, and God and pure
spirit have no form.? Thus there is no concept of male or female in
Heaven.? Any form, including your own body, that is experienced in
the false universe of perception must, by definition, be symbolic of
something else..."
When I first read this, something went up a notch in how I would now
read and study the Course.? Pursah's introduction was exactly
consistent with the Course.
"...words are but symbols of symbols.? They are thus twiced removed
from reality." (M-21.1:9-10)? Jesus says in Chapter 6, "The body is the
symbol of what you think you are." (T-6.V.(A)2:2)
"As we have already emphasized, every idea begins in the mind of
the thinker.? Therefore, what extends from the mind is still in it,
and from what it extends it knows itself." (T.6.III.l:1-2)
