This section addresses the authority problem. We have misplaced authority in our perception of ourselves and others. In reality there is only one Authority and nothing else. God and God’s Children are Authority. But we have lost sight of that concept for the time being. Authority can be thought of as authorship. We have forgotten that God created us in God’s image and like God. We have forgotten who authored us. So we begin to author ourselves and make ourselves the author of our own lives. The problem with this is that each of us is doing this on our own without consideration of each other. Sure, we cooperate with some who are close to us who we choose to like and get along with, but we want to make our own world. Then we hope that this world will please God and serve us well.
When each of us authors or makes our own reality, it is made to serve ourselves, not others. This results in conflict. Each one’s world is at odds with another’s world. No one world meshes well with another unless we compromise and give something up to make peace with another. We only do that out of necessity, and sometimes there is no way we are willing to compromise with some in our world. So conflict is present in our lives. Since we are really One with each other, and inseparable, these differing worlds we have authored must be conflicted in the world we think we see. The “reality” we have made up is not reality at all. It exists only in our perception. We can do many things to attempt to resolve these issues, but only a shift in perception, a miracle, a change of thinking guided by Spirit will help us move closer to right perception which leads to understanding and the recognition of our true reality.
All this may sound complicated and difficult to achieve, but God has created a plan for us to make this shift. Every shift in our thinking towards correct perception is guided by Spirit. This is Spirit’s function in our minds. Spirit bridges the gap between the Mind of God and our individual minds we see as separate from the Mind of God. We need not do this ourselves. In fact we cannot achieve this shift on our own. We will make up another choice based on our individual learned perceptions. Spirit knows and will guide us in the perfect size and content of each shift in thinking for each of us at any particular time and place. These are the miracles for each of us. Miracle after miracle lifts us out of misperception closer and closer to correct perception. Higher thinking brings open-mindedness which opens our spiritual eyes wider and wider. We see ourselves and each other as we truly are, Holy Creations of God, whole and One with God. This awareness of who we really are is the gift that allows us to see the world correctly and understand the plan God has for each and all of us. Let go of all that you believe is concretized in your mind and grant Spirit permission to gently disintegrate its seeming solidity. Freedom from our mistaken authorship is waiting for us.
