The ego’s chaotic nature also ensures that there will never be a unified theory of the universe that will hold up over time, because the universe isn’t really based on the thought of unity —it’s based on the thought of separation and division. However, it includes fascinating and ingenious patterns that help to give it the illusion of unity. That’s why you shouldn’t be impressed by every new discovery or theory about the universe. So what if superstrings can make gravity work at both the Newtonian and sub-atomic levels? An illusion is still an illusion.

The universe is very much like a big wind-up clock, or better, a wind-up toy. Let’s use your solar system as a microcosm, and we’ll use just one of the so-called forces of nature as an example. This doesn’t explain the entire picture, but it will give you a taste of the ego’s ingenious ways of illusion. Even though energy, which I’ll call chi, is an illusion, it’s very much a part of how the ego takes the script that’s in the mind and transmutes it from invisible thought into invisible but measurable forms, and then into the visible manifestations you see and experience. This really happens all at once, but it’s necessary to be linear so you can better understand it. For instance, let’s say you could look at your planet from outer space, from half the distance to the moon, and that you could see chi. You’d then be able to see that the earth is completely encased by electromagnetic chi that’s carried to it, and past it, in the form of a huge flow of radiation from your sun. This flow of chi is constantly changing, with yin and yang going in and out of balance and everywhere in between balance. The changes in the chi are caused, in turn, by the constantly changing radiation on the sun. Now, if you could look at the sun close up from space, you’d see what could be described as enormous swirling oceans of gas. What few realize is that these oceans of gas behave in a similar fashion to the oceans of the earth. Just as the tides of the earth’s oceans are subject to the movements of your moon, the tides of those solar oceans of gas are subject to the pulling and pushing of the total interaction of all of the planets in your solar system, and even the universe beyond it —which of course is all connected. This causes different gaseous tides, sunspots and other solar events —which in turn regulate the changes in the flow of the radiation while it’s carried to the earth as particles via the solar wind, or directly by sunlight. This changing radiational flow, regulated by the movement within the entire solar system, including the earth and its moon, causes corresponding changes in the chi surrounding your planet and sends electromagnetic fields onto every inch of it. You can’t see these chi fields with the body’s eyes, but they’re everywhere —and you’ve been walking right through them every day of your life. They regulate everything about you, including your decisions and resulting movements. They are actually thought from a completely different level, transmuted into the form of chi, telling you what to think on this level. Everything you do follows from what you think, and sometimes it follows instantaneously, like a reflex.

“SHOULD HAVE” & “I DIDN’T DO IT – YOU DID!!!”

The people who give me trouble —I want them to show up?
PURSAH: Make no mistake, you want them to be there, without exception. They’re your scapegoats. If you could just remember that fact the next time some apparently real flamer pushes your buttons, then you could hold your tongue, think with the Holy Spirit and change your mind. You want them to be there, all right. Always. You need it. That’s how you trick yourself into thinking you’re not guilty, or at least not terribly guilty, so you can cope most of the time —for the guilt is somewhere else. As long as you’re stuck in the maze, you can’t see that the whole thing is unnecessary, because you were never really guilty in the first place. The whole maze is an illusion to defend yourself against an illusion. Don’t forget —you believe you really are guilty on a much deeper level than you realize. You need your defense because the alternative is unthinkable to your ego —that you might actually look upon your own guilt —the horror of which is presently covered over by the world. The ego has you convinced that to look upon the hideousness of this guilt is the equivalent of death. To avoid the viciousness that goes along with the entire can of worms, you project it outward, forgetting that what goes around comes around —because it never really left in the first place: 
“[ACIM:]
Who sees a brother as a body
sees him as fear’s symbol.
And he will attack, because
what he beholds is his own
fear external to himself, poised
to attack, and howling to unite
with him again. Mistake not the
intensity of rage projected fear
must spawn. It shrieks in wrath,
and claws the air in frantic hope
it can reach to its maker and
devour him. This do the body’s
eyes behold in one whom Heaven
cherishes, the angels love and
God created perfect.”

YOUR HAVING SUBSTITUTED ILLUSION FOR TRUTH WAS AN ENORMOUS MISTAKE !
○●○●○●○●○●○●○
You do not realize the magnitude of that one error. It was so vast and so completely incredible that from it a world of total unreality had to emerge. What else could come of it? Its fragmented aspects are fearful enough, as you begin to look at them. But nothing you have seen begins to show you the enormity of the original error, which seemed to cast you out of Heaven, to shatter knowledge into meaningless bits of disunited perceptions, and to force you to make further substitutions.

GARY: All right. I don’t want to seem stupid, but to make sure I understand: You’re saying the Course is purely non-dualistic, meaning that of the two seeming worlds, the world of God and the world of man, only the world of God is true and He doesn’t interact with the false world —but the Holy Spirit is here to guide us home. When the Course makes statements about God weeping for His children and stuff like that, you have to take it symbolically as the Holy Spirit wanting us to choose His Voice instead of the ego’s? PURSAH: Exactly. Very good. You’re not stupid, Gary —although your ego would like for you to be. The ego’s entire world is a stupid idea, because it’s based on a stupid decision.
