Gentle Healing 2 ~ Day 189 – NTI Galatians 1

Speaking of those who have awakened to the First Principle of God, NTI 1 Corinthians 16 said:

One who knows wholeness after experiencing the lack of wholeness knows illusion is no substitute for truth. He shall not choose illusion again.

But, being one mind with all that he thought was separate, he shall remain as a memory to call the mind that sleeps into wakefulness, that all that is whole may know Itself as one and whole again.

When I received NTI Galatians, inner wisdom came to me as the voice of Jesus.

As A Course in Miracles Clarification of Terms  says:

The name of Jesus is the name of one who was a man but saw the face of Christ in all his brothers and remembered God.  So he became identified with Christ, a man no longer, but at one with God.  The man was an illusion, for he seemed to be a separate being, walking by himself, within a body that appeared to hold his self from Self, as all illusions do.  Yet who can save unless he sees illusions and then identifies them as what they are?  Jesus remains a Savior because he saw the false without accepting it as true.  And Christ needed his form that He might appear to men and save them from their own illusions.

Through the Creative Principle, consciousness can appear as the re-enlivened form of a master who no longer exists. It’s as if the breeze of wisdom blows through a memory and temporarily re-envokes a familiar form.

Why?

As the Clarification of Terms  explains:

… time needs symbols, being itself unreal.

Jesus no longer exists, since Jesus was a temporary manifestation in time. However, because awakening occurred through that form, the form continues to be used by consciousness. A personification of reality is helpful for as long as we see ourselves as persons.

NTI Galatians came in Jesus’ voice. When NTI Galatians says “I” or “Me,” it refers us to the memory of Jesus. It directs our attention to one who experienced humanness as fully as we experience it now, and then transcended the beliefs and perceptions that we experience to realize truth without compromise. This memory is helpful, because if one human can awaken to reality, another human can do it too. The human is not limited, because identification with a human is a temporary cloak, and the consciousness that shines through the human is altogether unlimited.

A Course in Miracles Clarification of Terms  says:

There is no need for help to enter Heaven for you have never left.  But there is need for help beyond yourself as you are circumscribed by false beliefs of your Identity, which God alone established in reality.  Helpers are given you in many forms, although upon the altar they are one. …

Is [Jesus] God’s only Helper?  No, indeed.  For Christ takes many forms with different names until their oneness can be recognized.
