One thing you can say about A Course In Miracles is that it is not always an easy book to understand. Many of us have picked up that massive tome and put it down so many times not knowing what we just read and what it all means, let alone how it applies to our every day lives. Sure, there are plenty of passages that inspire and fill our hearts with a deep sense of peace and inner knowing, but do we get the big picture of what the Course is really saying? Here's a book that provides an invaluable contribution for all those students of the Course that are not totally clear on the overall message and method of ACIM, as well for those more seasoned practitioners looking to reinvigorate their appreciation for, and deepen their grasp of, the Curriculum.
"Destined to be one of the most significant contributions to spiritual literature in this century. The message in Gary Renard's book The Disappearance of the Universe is of great importance to the healing of ourselves and our planet."
-Dr. Wayne Dyer
What would you do if you were sitting quietly in your living room when a mysterious couple appeared from out of nowhere—and then told you they were “ascended masters” who had come to reveal some shocking secrets of existence and teach you the miraculous powers of advanced forgiveness? When two such teachers appeared before Gary Renard in 1992, he chose to listen to them (and ask a lot of impertinent questions). The result is this startling book: an extraordinary record of 17 mind-bending conversations that took place over nearly a decade, reorienting the author’s life and giving the world an uncompromising introduction to a spiritual teaching destined to change human history.
"There's nothing in your universe that doesn't follow the pattern of decay and death, and there's nothing here that can seemingly live without something else dying. Your world is quite impressive until you learn to really look. But people don't want to really look, not just because it isn't a pretty picture, but because the world was meant to cover over an unconscious thought system that governs their lives but which they are not consciously aware of. So you're gong to have to cut us some slack for a while and give us a chance to explain more until you start to get the general idea."
"Your unconscious mind, which you are completely oblivious to or else it wouldn't be unconscious, is under the domination of a sick thought system that is shared on both a collective and individual level by everyone who comes to the false universe--or else they wouldn't have come here in the first place. This will remain the case until your thoughts are examined, correctly forgiven, released to the Holy Spirit, and replaced by His thinking instead. Until then your hidden beliefs will continue to dominate and assert themselves in a predetermined way. The world is merely acting out a symbolic scenario that each one here agreed to participate in before they ever appeared to arrive."
"The universe follows a script that was made in a holographic way but appears to play out in a linear manner, like a movie that has already been filmed. The whole thing has already been written, and so has your life story. Even the day your body will die has already been determined. The only real freedom you have is to choose to return to God by listening to the Voice for Him, instead of continuing indefinitely within a fixed system that has nothing to do with Him. Your brain isn't hard wired to know God; your mind tells your brain what to do! Be glad the universe and your brain have nothing to do with God, and ther's a way to return to His Universe."
