The Big Bang. We're taught that astronomers believe the universe began as a singular point and expanded to the size it is today and still growing. So, everything came from virtually nothing? We're also taught the concept that most scientists believe that RNA, or something similar to RNA, was the first molecule to self-replicate and begin the process of evolution that led to more advanced forms of life, including human beings. What? So, this is the answer to millions and millions of aquatic creatures, birds, animals, and humans? Scientists believe the earliest life forms we know of were microscopic organisms, microbes, that left signals of their presence in rocks about 3.7 billion years old. These scientific theories only strengthened my belief in a higher power. If you think about and study these two believed explanations of all life everywhere, they make no sense until you come to the amazing understanding there was a powerful intelligence behind the Big Bang. Christ. If this statement has spiked your curiosity, please read on for the reason Christ made the first ego. Jesus's last name is not Christ, his name is Jesus of Nazareth. He understood perfectly that he was one with Christ, so are you, so am I and so is everyone who has ever lived. Christ is much more than just a name, it's a state of being. In other words, we are not frail and limited human beings, we are incredibly strong and unlimited Christ Beings. Forever. I once read the time it would take a hummingbird to fly around the world and from the friction of its wings to wear the world into dust, eternity is just beginning. My friend, that is a long time.
ACIM states that it is even beyond its teachings to fully explain what Love actually is. However, with logic and reasoning we are given glimpses. Let's discuss a Love that Is absolutely perfect. A Love that Is beyond purity, immeasurably magnificent and beautiful, immense total power, all knowing, all seeing, everywhere, outside of time, forever unchanging, cannot conceive of any loss, eternal, and always giving an unlimited joy and contentment and happiness. Totally complete in and of Itself, with a perfect light that extends to all existence. We are a part of this forever. Every time we hold open a door, offer our place in line, give to the beggar on the highway, turn the other cheek we love. When you're smacked in the face either physically or verbally and don't strike back, you're doing the exact opposite of what's expected. Perhaps, down the road, when they're on the receiving end they'll act differently because of remembering your response. Ever non-partially listen to two people arguing? Neither is listening to what the other is saying because they're thinking of a response. When you come out of an argument, do you feel good? I never argue because it's pointless. I've been banned from Christian groups on Facebook for the heresy of not believing in hell and atheists have called me insanely stupid for believing in God. To me, it's all good, I know what I know. To explain the logic of all this I wrote the following fictional story utilizing the teachings of ACIM. The statements about the black hole and what Christ thought about Jesus are of course my imagination.
