Chapter 1 of 1: Wonderful News

Today is 5/21/2025 and 10:07pm. For me, this is a very unusual time to be writing. After many years my pattern has always been to start jotting down thoughts early, immediately upon awakening. I’m 72 and can honestly admit the feeling of growing happiness is starting to occur. I’m floating through life alone but never lonely. Believe me this did not happen overnight, and I’m grateful that what was once so very important means nothing at all. Having a soulmate at my side to complete me is no longer sought after because I am complete. So are you because this is how you were created. By what means can you not be when you are One with God? Your imagined past has resulted in the forgetting of this unconscious memory. Humanity does not understand they’re on the verge of a remembering that will result in a huge and unprecedented awakening. We’ve never been separate from God, never have and never will because it’s perfectly impossible. We think we are and because of the incredible power of our mind it becomes real for us, even though it’s completely false. When this memory returns we’ll awaken in the Heaven we’ve never left. This is not conjecture or belief, but a one hundred percent guaranteed irrefutable fact. It certainly would be wonderful if I could say, “Here! This is what I know.” and watch your countenance become radiant as your sudden understanding resulted in a healed mind. Life doesn’t work that way and be thankful this is so. These experienced feelings don’t lie and once you figure it out for yourself, and you will, then you’ll know. We’re not saved from anything but ourselves. 
21 years ago my wife of 20 years, Mary Jo, died suddenly in front of me. She was only 43, and we were enjoying a second honeymoon on the first cruise ship we’d ever been on. She was perfectly healthy and seldom ever caught a cold. She’d been complaining about a strange pain in her leg which turned out to be a blood clot. The compression and decompression of the aircraft on our flight to Florida caused it to let loose and literally explode her heart. We had just finished a dance and had tipped our champagne glasses when she collapsed and died. The extreme suddenness of it all placed my mind into a realm where it had never been. I could not comprehend what was occurring. Unbelievable dis-belief, horror, fear, and insanity were happening all at once. This was just the beginning of what our three children and I would experience for hours, days, weeks, and unending months. We had all loved Mary Jo so very much and still do. Many reading this narrative understand exactly what I’m talking about. Be it the ending of a relationship, or the death of a friend, child, spouse or parent, results in a grief that is horrible to endure. However, I now understand what the pain taught me. How deeply I love. I didn’t understand the meaning of the Biblical saying that love is a two-edged sword until experiencing love's perceived loss. I say perceived because our perception is always false. Want to know something? Death is an illusion, we live forever and can never lose Love. 
Why? Because God is Love and Divine Will guarantees that we’ll live in the perfect dimension of Heaven. Forever. We will experience an unending joy and ecstasy and wonder which will continually increase far beyond our limited imaginations. Do you think it concerns God if you don’t believe in Him (or Her)? The Source of streams, rivers, lakes, oceans, forests, mountains, worlds, suns, galaxies and the entire universe is not harmed by your dis-belief. Another little secret kept from you by your worst enemy is that Hell does not exist. Who is your worst enemy? You. The wrong side of your mind, your ego, has convinced you that Hell was created by God to torture you for all eternity. The ego designed your body as a fence to keep God out. The body has shown times of pleasure and pain. Why both? Its insanity wants you to dwell on the pleasure in your past because this makes the pain of your now, worse. This will eventually result in complete hate of yourself, others and life. You’re the one responsible for its agony and deserve death. Why are you responsible? Because you made it the instant your magnificently powerful mind innocently chose to experience something other than Oneness with God. When you stopped the perfect communication with Source your dream created the Big Bang. Why did you stop communicating? Your innocent curiosity asked a question that was not answered. “What else is there?” could not be answered because God’s perfect Heaven is all there is. All you had known was peace, joy, wonder, amazement, and love. Now an insane previously unknown fear is your knowing because you've forgotten Love. Now you find yourself in 2025, looking at an illusory, insane world that has nothing to offer but misery and an eventual death. Have you ever asked yourself the question of why you may be miserable? Do you believe all the horrible circumstances you’ve endured are punishments due to the sins you’ve committed? Sin means wrongdoing, and what have you ever done that could possibly wrong God? How could you sin against absolute power? This is impossible because His Love created you. Existing as a frail limited human being will end because God wills you to accept the Truth that you are a Christ Being. You are His first creation and have simply forgotten. Jesus' name is not Jesus Christ, it’s Jesus of Nazareth, and he was the first to perfectly understand his oneness with Christ. So are we all. Think about it. We’re One with Christ, who is One with God, therefore we’re One with God also. Some infinite moment in eternity you may want to create a universe, and you’ll be taught. The imaginings of our eternal life is becoming true because I’m ever so slowly remembering God. What are we going to do forever? May your last thoughts before sleep be this question. The perfect answer for you will be given in dreams. Your conscious mind may not remember, but your unconscious mind does, and you will find your days becoming easier. The negative circumstances will still occur, but you’ll react in a calmer way because you are more at peace with yourself and others. I’m sharing this truth from years of proven experience. The Holy Spirit is within all minds and every moment of every day is helping us to remember what Love truly is. Love endures all things, believes all things, hopes all things and never takes into account a wrong suffered. It dwells on what is good and always forgives.  The smallest act we do out of Love is remembered by God. We will be shown the miracles that resulted when we awaken. We are God’s first creation and perfect in every way. If God made anything imperfect, Source would no longer be perfect. This memory will return and when it does we’ll find ourselves in the Heaven we’ve never left. We were created by Love and Love is who we are.  
Why should we fear death when it's the perfect end of all suffering?  Nothing real can be threatened and nothing unreal exists, therein lies the peace of God. Don’t allow any circumstance or person to deprive you of peace. God’s peace is my only desire and miraculously it's growing at a fascinating rate and believe me, this is a really cool way to live. I had no understanding of what happiness is, so I asked our Father to show me. I’d read that God’s will is for us to be happy, so why not put this into His Hands and sit back to watch what happens? I’m content with knowing that growing happiness is a prelude to true and perfect joy. I’m never upset about anything because anything means nothing when I have everything. Forever. Our education is just beginning, when we graduate from our life in time, which is really a prep school for Heaven, all the pain we suffered will be nothing but a forgotten memory. Why? Because God Is. Bob

14 Core Beliefs from A Course In Miracles by Helen Schucman 

1. This world is not real. God did not create this world nor even know of its existence. The entire universe is an illusion dreamt by the Son of God.

2. Pure non-duality: Anything that comes from God must be exactly like Him. God could not create anything that is not perfect, or else He wouldn’t be perfect. 

3. Consciousness is the domain of the ego and was conceived after we dreamt of separation.

4. Spirit is unchanging, perfect, and eternal. This is the state of Heaven.

5. Truth is not different for everyone. Truth is truth.

6. There are no levels in Heaven. All conflict arises from the concept of   levels. We are either enlightened and back in Reality with God or still dreaming of separation. Only life in Heaven is real.

7. Life in all its myriad forms or possibilities is already scripted at the instant of separation. The only choice is in our mind, where we decide to identify with the Holy Spirit or with the ego, when interpreting each moment.

8. Life in this world is insane. Nothing makes sense in this world. The world was made as an attack on God.

9. There is only one higher self, the Holy Spirit. Also known as the Voice for God, our memory of God, or the reflection of God’s love in our dream.      

10. Collectively, we are the Son of God. God created only One Son of God. 

11. There is no evil or devil, only illusory madness projected by our ego mind and thankfully, they are not real.

12. Every attack is an attack upon ourselves. We project our unconscious guilt onto (dream) figures or situations that seemingly attack us. So now they are guilty, not us. The cause of our guilt arises from our imagined separation from God.

13. Life is a lesson. Every opportunity is used by the Holy Spirit to teach forgiveness to undo the ego mind.

14. Time and space are illusions, and Spirit has nothing to do with them.       
  

When peeling away a layer of an onion it still looks, tastes and smells like an onion. Eventually the last layer will be gone and so is the onion. This exact same fate will happen to our ego. Every time we forgive any circumstance or person we’re peeling off another layer of our ego. Eventually the last layer will be gone, and the ego will vanish into the nothingness from which it came, and we’ll awaken in the Heaven we’ve never left. God wills this to be so-and-so it is. Bob
