There is NO problem, literally NO where!
In this game of Consciousness we call Life, there can only 'appear' to be obstacles (commonly referred to as problems in any & every scene of experience) but in Truth there are NONE to be seen. Problems simply don't exist, they have no foundation & NO Law to sustain them.
For Truth students the key to Illumination is a working knowledge & application of Omnipresence. Omnipresence, basically meaning the indisputable presence of One (thing) without opposition & as everything, is the practical way of walking in Reality; aka Oneness.
Not only is the knowledge of Omnipresence INSTANT Being (Experiencing) Peace that passes understanding, but it is the tuning mechanism by which Heaven expresses & expands limitlessly & infinitely.
The only way that anything other than the Truth of Oneness can seem to pass by your radar is if you are standing in an imaginary position which is fundamentally false (doesn't exist - no Law sustains person-hood) & is thus wrong; ie the impossible situation of being something you're not. I often remind students that the answer to being in an impossible situation is that you couldn't be in it in the first place.
As a researcher & scientist I was always fascinated by Einstein's theory of relativity which says that the view changes based on where you're looking from in the most crude & basic understanding. If you're trying to measure the speed of light from the position of observing the light it looks different from the position of standing in the light doesn't it.
For sincere Truth students, the final hurdle (or to be more accurate, the beginning of True Awakening) can only occur in the right position which is the acceptance & living IN the Truth of Being.
This is the difference between knowing about something & BEING that thing. I often use the ancient parable of the traveller who wanted to know about the view from the top of the mountain. He asked everyone who had climbed to the top what it was like. Now you know just as well as I do that there IS a difference between hearing about something, gathering all the intel you possibly can about something, but that's very different from 'doing/being' it.
As an Anthropology student at uni (over 30 years ago) I studied ancient cultures & their religions but my comprehension is inherently limited because I don't identify myself as 'that'.
I have spent decades studying Awakening & Truth & remained an outsider until I accepted the Truth about What I Am. I actually speak to this at length in "A Mind Revolution" because it turns out to be the elephant in the room, the EPIC imaginary obstacle, that all Truth students face & it's make or break in knowing about Illumination vs BEING Illuminated In & As Truth.
To know anything you must BE It!
To KNOW Truth you must BE It!
It's obvious when you stand in the right spot; ie Identity.
The turning point is the difference between accepting True Identity or remaining an assumed, unverified, unverifiable, imaginary identity learning about the Truth. The game of self deception remains hinged upon what you accept your self to be; True or false. It stands to reason that Truth leads to Truth-FULL experience & false continues to lead to OFF until deadness appears on the horizon as some kind of alternative to Life. Opposites don't exist Beloved, dead is impossible!
As the image above suggests to make this very point, stand in & as the Light, what's the view now? Where have all the obstacles that appeared to exist gone now? Go on, take a peek...
What do you notice? Perhaps you can clearly see that there is no darkness at all. The Light simply replaces the darkness because darkness is not a 'thing' of itself. Just like a shadow cannot be anything without the presence of the Light. The Light is the Reality & the shadows simple appear because there's an object in the way. Sound familiar? Your task is simply to remove the objects/obstacles to the Eternal Presence of Love.
There is no fight to fight, simply the Light to Allow which doeth the works!
When you turn the light on in a room you don't have to give it a while, come back later, so that the light has time to beat the darkness into a corner & gain supremacy. Quite magically, a lit room is instant! What happened to the darkness. CONTEMPLATE 'this' deeply & leap Beloved. Enlightenment (aka Reality) is right here now & need take NO time at all, there is no time!
It was a bitter pill to swallow that the journey of Awakening only REALLY begins when you accept the Truth about what you are & end the game of pretending to be something that you're not. There is NO person in the history of Life who has become Spiritual. There's no person! You already ARE that which you seek.
As promised, the Riches of the Kingdom of Heaven which are eternal & imperturbable (& make the best achievements of an imaginary person look like sloppy seconds) are everyone's to simply claim, the question is will you?
There IS a right way to walk & that's IN Truth AS Truth. You've got to hear the Truth about YOU often as ACIM told us because it's the only way you will discover What You Really Are. Beyond the mortally distracted mind is Truth & Knowing This (What You Really Are - aka the Light of the World) is the ONLY way of True Absolute Fulfilment...& that's Heaven! YOU are the Truth, there is no other Truth.
