world

level I: the effect of the ego’s belief in separation, which is its cause; the thought of separation and attack on God given form; being the expression of the belief in time and space, it was not created by God, Who transcends time and space entirely; unless specifically referring to the world of knowledge, refers only to perception, the post-separation domain of the ego.

level II:

• w-m: a prison of separation which reinforces the ego’s belief in sin and guilt, perpetuating the seeming existence of this world.
• r-m: a classroom wherein we learn our lessons of forgiveness, the Holy Spirit’s teaching device to help us transcend the world: thus the purpose of the world is to teach us that there is no world.
