The Disappearance of the Universe by Gary R. Renard

I've just recently completed another mind-blowing book. Why I call is mind-blowing is because the contents reminds me of a certain Truth that I've always known, but forgotten. When I initially read the book, I felt quite uneasy because it was almost different from what we had always been taught, always believed.. but somehow after certain chapters of the book, I became more receptive of the book and began enjoying it. I guess that is why it took me about 3 months plus to finish reading it. When Tuck Loon handed me the book, he told me to try to finish it within 1 month, but it was truly quite difficult due to the uneasy feelings that arised. But somehow as I persisted, I felt a shift in me the minute I finished the last chapter of the book. It was amazing.
...
Below here are some of my own understandings and excerpts from the book, also excerpts derived from A Course In Miracles from the book.
...
God did not create the world. We did. - my own understanding
...
"What you think is happening is not happening. Reality is invisible and anything that can be perceived or observed in any way, even measured scientifically, is an illusion."
...
"The guiltless mind cannot suffer." - A Course in Miracles
...
"the ego is just a thought - and thoughts can be changed."
...
"Forgiveness then, is an illusion, but because of its purpose, which is the Holy Spirit's, it has one difference. Unlike all other illusions it leads away from error and not towards it." - A Course in Miracles
...
"Judge ideas, not people. Then accept the true idea."
...
"Both the ego and the Holy Spirit are still to be found in every mind; it's just that the Holy Spirit is being drowned out by the ego's voice because that's what you choose to listen to - and what you really are has been pushed out of your awareness. We said before that you may have forgotten the truth, but it's still there - buried in your mind."
...
"The ego's voice speaks to you as though it's your friend and is watching out for your best interests. You'll recall we've already said the ego has convinced you that God is going to get you and you'd better run for it to a place where you'll be safe. That place is this universe. As far as the ego is concerned, the best defense is a good offense. In fact, defense and offense are two sides of the same coin."
...
"Now you appear to be in the universe, while you do not realize that you are actually quite literally out of your mind"
...
"Love holds no grievances - You who were created by Love like Itself can hold no grievances and know your Self. To hold a grievance is to forget who you are. To hold a grievance is to see yourself as a body. To hold a grievance is to let the ego rule your mind and to condemn the body to death. Perhaps you do not yet fully realize just what holding grievances does to your mind. It seems to split you off from your Source and make you unlike Him. It makes you believe that He is like what you think you have become, for no one can conceive of his Creator as unlike himself.
Shut off from your Self, Which remains aware of Its likeness to Its Creator, your Self seems to sleep, while the part of your mind that weaves illusions in its sleep appears to be awake. Can all this arise from holding grievances? Oh, yes! For he who holds grievances denies he was created by Love, and his Creator has become fearful to him in his dream of hate. Who can dream of hatred and not fear God?
It is as sure that those who hold grievances will redefine God in their own image, as it is certain that God created them like Himself, and defined them as part of Him. It is as sure that those who hold grievances will suffer guilt, as it is certain that those who forgive will find peace. It is as sure that those who hold grievances will forget who they are, as it is certain that those who forgive will remember.
Would you not be willing to relinquish your grievances if you believed all this were so? Perhaps you do not think you can let your grievances go. That, however, is simply a matter of motivation."
...
"TRUE FORGIVENESS: A Thought Process Example - You're not really there. If I think you are guilty or the cause of the problem, and if I made you up, then the imagined guilt and fear must be in me. Since the separation from God never occurred, I forgive "both" of us for what we haven't really done. Now there is only innocence, and I join with the Holy Spirit in peace."
...
"Choose between the strength of Christ and the ego's weakness. The world is asleep."
...
"Today I let Christ's vision look upon All things for me and judge them not, but give Each one a miracle of love instead." - A Course In Miracles
...
"It's always yourself who you are really helping."
...
Christ means the embodiment of all that God is... the Holy Spirit, the Universe, the One. - my own understanding.
...

Blessed Be.
