Weekly Passage - for week of 7/20/03



"Because of an illusory sense of the universe, however, the mortal scene appears as mortality with all its errors, whereas it is in realty a divine universe. This world is God's world; it is the temple of the living God; but when we see it with finite eyes and ears, what we see and hear is but the illusory picture of the reality that is there. The illusion is in the mind that is falsely seeing the world: the illusion is never out in the world. An illusion cannot be externalized. An illusion is a deceptive state of thought, and it can take place only within a person's mind, not outside it."

-- from Joel Goldsmith's "A Parenthesis in Eternity"
Chapter 10 - Reality and Illusion
