How Can the World Be an Illusion? – Q&A on ACIM Lessons with David Hoffmeister
Question: Are you saying that everything I perceive is the product of my imagination?
David Hoffmeister: Yes, all of time-space is a projection of a belief you could call ego. The temporary is finite and has beginning and end. What is real is infinite, is eternal, is Spirit. God creates Spirit to be everlasting, and so It Is.
Question: Am I missing something? Earth and all laws that govern us are our own thoughts? Is that how you see it?
David Hoffmeister: Ego beliefs produce ego thoughts, and ONLY if one identifies with the ego would they be falsely identified as "our own thoughts." The laws of the world that seem to govern matter and bodies are indeed make-believe. Read ACIM Lessons 76 and 88 of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) for more details. Spirit is under no laws but God's.
Question: Can we bend any laws that are governing us?
David Hoffmeister: You can do MORE than bend unreal laws: you can transcend them! This requires mind training (like Neo had in the movie The Matrix). The Workbook of A Course in Miracles is a mind training tool that is very helpful when sincerely practiced and applied.
Question: If this world is unreal, it should not be so hard to just make one little miracle happen.But it is.
David Hoffmeister: My life is filled with miracles, and I assure you it is easier and more natural to perform miracles than it is to follow the ways of the world. Experience has shown this to be so.
Question: I don't understand anything. The more I think that everything is unreal, the more it breaks all laws governing my reasoning, and it makes me go crazy to not see God.
David Hoffmeister: The Law of Love is of the Spirit and is very reasonable. The laws of ego are logical, but they follow a false premise (that separation from God is possible) and are therefore completely false.
Question: I don't know how you can see God by realizing that all this is fake. Maybe you can help me, because I do think that this is an irrational world, and it is not real, but like I said, that does not help me. It makes it worse.

David Hoffmeister: To let go of all false belief is to forgive or release the world. God can only be seen through the Vision of Christ, and this is an Inner Vision that has nothing to do with "physical sight." I invite you to read through the writings very thoroughly, and then get yourself an ACIM book. With dedication and practice of the ACIM Lessons, your mind will open very rapidly to the new direction. You will experience many, many miracles and they will light the way for the inner healing and escape from fear that awaits you. Just be willing to take one step at a time and be devoted to peace of mind. The way will open. It is certain.I am joined with you in the same Purpose. We cannot fail.
