Preface
The term Christ holds a profound and transformative meaning. It represents our true identity beyond the limitations of the ego and the physical body. In other words, we are not human beings, we are all Christ Beings. Jesus’s last name is not Christ, it’s Jesus of Nazareth, a man who perfectly and completely understood he was one with Christ. So are you, so am I and so is everyone. Forever. This project is an explanation of two manuscripts I have studied daily and written about for fifteen years.
A Course In Miracles (ACIM-1333 pages) by Helen Schucman is in my opinion the most profound and truthful spiritual manuscript ever written. Christians are looking for the return of Jesus, he has returned via the writings in this magnificent document. Dr. Helen Schucman began receiving the material for The Course quietly over eight years, from 1965 to 1973 at the age of 43. During this time, she was an associate professor of psychology at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons and the assistant to the head of the Department of Psychology at Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. Schucman said that the book had been dictated to her, word for word, via a process of “inner dictation” from Jesus. At first, insanity crossed her mind. She asked this voice some very difficult questions, all answered correctly. A Course in Miracles is a self-study spiritual curriculum that presents a way of life based on contact with the Holy Spirit or internal Teacher. It combines Christian terminology with Eastern mysticism, perennial philosophy, and modern psychological insights. The Course explains what the Bible truly means.
The Disappearance Of The Universe was written by Gary R. Renard. It is a record of 17 mind-bending conversations that took place over nearly a decade between Gary and two Ascended Masters who materialized before him in 1992. They revealed some shocking secrets of existence that taught the miraculous powers of advanced forgiveness. He was in his Maine home during Christmas week. He’s learning the stock trade and a professional guitar musician. His wife, Karen, was at work, they have no children. He’s sitting in his living room, looking out the picture window, two people suddenly appeared and were sitting on the couch. Male and female, Arten and Pursah. This is how the book starts. When I first read this, I thought, “Yeah, right, this has to be fiction.” It's non-fiction. What’s most impressive is that this book stays true to the hard-core metaphysics of The Course. If interested, I highly recommend reading Gary’s writings first.
When I started reading Disappearance, a huge red flag occurred. Thefundamental truth of Christianity for over 2000 years is that Jesus died for our sin. Many born again Christians may not consider these writings because both manuscripts declare this is not true. All those years ago, I had to come to a conclusion about this critical issue before further research. I stopped reading and started praying. After several weeks, the answer came to me immediately after waking from a long, restful sleep and a dream I couldn’t remember but knew had been about my wife. I had been married for 20 years and 21 years ago a horrible tragedy occurred. Mary Jo and I were enjoying a second honeymoon on our first cruise. We had been patiently anticipating this trip for over six months. We were on a dance floor, and she died at the young age of 43. The compression and decompression of the aircraft caused a blood clot to let loose and her heart exploded. To this day, words cannot adequately explain the horror, disbelief, and shock of what I witnessed. You may not believe this, but I know she answered my question. I heard her say to me, “Bob, let's say you had been watching me horribly moan for 10 minutes while I was experiencing a nightmare. You didn’t want to suddenly wake me because you know how I startle. When I finally came out of it, you asked what the dream had been about. I explained I had been a horrible serial killer who received immense pleasure from skillfully torturing victims for many long hours before granting the release of death. Did I sin against God?” “Of course not, you were dreaming.”” There’s your answer.” I proceeded to resume studying Gary’s manuscript and will explain the logic of all this if you elect to read on.
