Do We All Have Separate Spirits? Q&A with David Hoffmeister A Course in Miracles Audio
Question: Are we all one mind, or one spirit? Are my children and loved ones not real?Are they just idols? Or are their bodies not real, and they have a spirit that is real?
David Hoffmeister, A Course in Miracles Audio: It is the Spirit, or One Divine Mind, beyond the veil of time-space which is everlasting. And what is an idol but anything that could be "lost?" Love is forever. The things of time and space will pass away in the Eternal Present. Before time was, or seemed to be, I Am. Whole perception is the Perspective of the Holy Spirit Which includes the whole tapestry of the cosmos.

Nothing is excluded or taken away in the Perspective the Holy Spirit offers. Nothing is ever lost. As you see "loved ones" and "everyone" and "everything" as IN mind and nothing apart FROM mind, you are the dreamer of the dream. The dreamer is never at the mercy of what is being dreamed therefore, because the lucid or waking dream is non-judgmental dreaming. Dream softly of a sinless world, for without judgment the world is a reflection of Divine Innocence. Everything and everyone is welcomed in our Gaze, for our Gaze shares the Purpose of the Holy Spirit and Jesus.
You are indeed a Living Miracle because of our Source. God creates only Perfection, and You are That. You have always BEEN Perfect. It is impossible to "improve upon" Perfection. Happiness is God's Will for Christ. Christ could never be content with idols, little "things" which seem to offer "more" of "something" but offer nothing real and true. The belief in lack seeks idols to ease the "pain of littleness," yet wholeness recognizes that completion rests in God Alone, in God All-One.
The ego uses the goal of "more" as bait to spin the illusory wheel of time. Salvation is immediate and God Wills Present Happiness. It will never take "time" to recognize and remember Who I already Am. The past is gone. The future but imagined. These "concerns" are ego defenses against the Eternal Present.
The "gap" of time believed to exist between now and "the future" is to be forgiven or released, for it is not true. What time but now can Truth be known? God asks no sacrifice, yet to believe that Enlightenment is in the "future" is the attempt to deny the Power and Glory of Now. The "future" IS the belief in sacrifice, for sacrifice would attempt to teach that you are not yet what You already are. Yet the ego and time are literally lessons that can never be learned, for illusions are not true. Why attempt to learn something that can never BE learned?
It is much easier to unlearn the false and forgive than it is to attempt the impossible. The Holy Spirit offers forgiveness freely, and accepting Atonement (Correction) is the easiest experience that relates to this world. Nothing "else" matters, for there literally IS nothing else.
I Love You forever and ever!!
