The Unthreatened

 You are the light of the world.

Matthew 5:14

Eckrt Tolle began his video today quoting this famous phrase from A Course in Miracles:

 Nothing real can be threatened; 

Nothing unreal exists; 

Herein lies the peace of God. 

There is only one thing ( if you want to use the word 'thing') that is omnipotent. There is only one 'thing' in Life, as we know it, that is real...and that is God.  Knowing that brings peace. 

Are we not real? The only real thing about us, as human beings, is our consciousness. Is the "being" part of that noun we use to describe who we are. Being , however, is a verb, not a noun.

As Alan Watts said:

You are a function of what the whole Universe is doing, in the same way that a wave is what the whole ocean is doing. 

So we, as consciousness, are functions of the universe. We are living representations of Life...of God.

So this consciousness in me, is it God? The answer to that, according to Eckhart Tolle, is "yes and no".

Is the light of the sun...the sun itself? Yes and no...it is an enemation of sun.

Is the light of God (consciousness) God? Yes and no...it is an enemation of God.

Be the light in you. Don't diminish that light. Don't hide that light away out of a fear it will be harmed.  It can't be threatened. 

All is well.
