Beyond this world there is another world

Your kingdom is not of this world because it was given you from beyond this world.

Only in this world is the idea of an authority problem meaningful.

The world is not left by death but by truth, and truth can be known by all those for whom the Kingdom was created, and for whom it waits. (chapter 3)


It is difficult to understand that levels of teaching the universal course is a concept as meaningless in reality as is time.

The illusion of one permits the illusion of the other. In time, the teacher of God seems to begin to change his mind about the world with a single decision, and then learns more and more about the new direction as he teaches it.

We have covered the illusion of time already, but the illusion of levels of teaching seems to be something different.

Perhaps the best way to demonstrate that these levels cannot exist is simply to say that any level of the teaching-learning situation is part of God's plan for Atonement, and His plan can have no levels, being a reflection of His Will.

Salvation is always ready and always there. God's teachers work at different levels, but the result is always the same. (Manual for teachers)

Vision depends on light. You cannot see in darkness. Yet in darkness, in the private world of sleep, you see in dreams although your eyes are closed.

And it is here that what you see you made. But let the darkness go and all you made you will no longer see, for sight of it depends upon denying vision.

Yet from denying vision it does not follow you cannot see. But this is what denial does, for by it you accept insanity, believing you can make a private world and rule your own perception.

Yet for this, light must be excluded. Dreams disappear when light has come and you can see.
