>>In the same way, God (while knowing not of
separation) is aware that his son is dreaming, disturbed, and not in his right
mind; so God can provide the Holy Spirit as an Answer to the
"separation" that we are having a nightmare about -- while God is not
aware of the nightmare (the separation) itself. What do you think??

Hi Gene:
?
I was just going back and checking to see if I had indeed
set myself up as some kind of authority on the Course. And if I had, it was
certainly a mistake. I just usually tell it the way I see it, for
myself, not how others should see it.
?
As for the above statement, I think that it would
indicate, that God indeed was aware that His Son was sleeping. And yet in the
Workbook, it says that "God created only mind awake."
(W.167.8)
?
So I am gathering that even though we (as one Son) fell
asleep, yet we could never complete blot out God's Voice, (Holy Spirit) as, what
God creates is eternal. So I think that even though it says that God gave
created the Holy Spirit, I think this is metaphoric. But I do believe that there
is a part of our mind, that can turn to that which is eternal within us,
whenever we choose.
?
I was trying to find something that Gary wrote, and
perhaps it was in his book, and he can correct me. But he said ... (and I am
going by memory now) ... That everything that is eternal should should taken
literally. Non duality is the only absolute truth, and everything else in the
Course is meant to be taken as a metaphor. And that is what I believe.
