Waking up and living in two worlds.

To remember is merely to restore to your mind what is already there. You do not make what you remember; you merely accept again what is already there, but was rejected. The ability to accept truth in this world is the perceptual counterpart of creating in the Kingdom. God will do His part if you will do yours, and His return in exchange for yours is the exchange of knowledge for perception. Nothing is beyond His Will for you. But signify your will to remember Him, and behold! He will give you everything but for the asking. T-10.II.3:1-7

When we are incarnated into our physical body at birth we forget from whence we came and are socialized into the world of the ego. This socialization is based on a conditioned faculty of perceiving. This perception seems true enough to us that we forget about our ultimate reality which is our non dual Oneness with God. 

The experience of Transcendent Oneness is the eleventh skill out of twenty-one in Cindy Wigglesworth’s model of Spiritual Intelligence. To what extent have you experienced cosmic consciousness, a oneness with the Universe: never, once, a few times, many times, whenever I focus on it? This ability to become aware of our cosmic Oneness is that spiritual traditions call “awakening,” and “enlightenment.” We can wake up when we become aware that our ego perceptions are illusions and are not real in the realm of cosmic consciousness. Jesus said that we should give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that our God. So while we are here in our bodies, we live in two worlds. We are living in parallel worlds. Which one do you prefer?
