I am a Nobody, and nobody is perfect, therefore I am perfect.
~ Dandi Daley Mackall

To think there are not other worlds or dimensions where we live closer to what we actually are is pure folly. The spiritual master, Swami Paramahansa Yogananda, gives us a glimpse of this: from God comes the three spheres or realms of existence, the Causal (the Idea), the Astral (the Energy) and the Physical (Matter/Earth). We don’t have adequate words to explain the utopian experience of the Physical world as intended by God (the Garden of Eden). And how could this author, or any other being know the intention of God? The best explanation I can surmise is the ancient story of the “fallen archangel” (Satan [the adversary]) and Adam and Eve. The Physical world is dualistic by nature. Therefore, an opposing unseen force (satan or ego) to the benevolent unseen force (god or heart/love) had to come into being. For physical (matter) to appear in the realm of time and space (relativity), there must be its opposite polarity (eg. day and night, this and that, good and evil, yin and yang, God and Satan, etc...). This adversarial force (ego) appropriates the intended benevolent force for itself, causing the undifferentiated benevolent force in the physical realm (the Soul in the body) to be separated or split off from its true nature (spirit or essence). The ancient battle between good and evil, or matter and spirit. Via the physical sense organs, the ego (adversary) claims the world we see, including the separated entity, the so named “person” identity [body and mind]) as reality. This “believed in” claim of the ego fragments the Mind and Soul (makes two). The Soul, or essence of God within, keeps the undifferentiated benevolent force (Soul) intact for us. The Soul, our unseen knowing of Truth, Existence, love and joy, is perpetually seeking its way back to the unseen benevolent realm, and is ignored by the individual mind (the adversary or ego) for that very same reason, it’s the unseen and therefore doesn’t exist. By way of the natural draw, the Soul seeks reunion with the whole, reality as intended. The magnetic-like appeal to the Soul (benevolent unseen force within us) for return to the wholeness it is, without interference from the adversary (mind/ego). The Infinite existence we are, the One total ALL. Whole and complete, right from the start—right here, right now! Only covered up by the adversarial unseen force as experienced through our physical senses. The invisible realm is paradoxical to what the mind, as adversary, thinks it knows. We are intended to evolve, to merge what appears as finite to our senses, to the unseen infinite we really are. Leo Hartong, a contemporary seer, puts awakening to our true nature like this: “The ordinary and extraordinary are the same. The spiritual and the material have merged. There is not something very spiritual and something very material. Matter turns out to be energy patterns and spiritual turns out to be thought patterns. What’s the difference?”

Valentinus, in The Gospel of Truth, puts it like this:
“Since oblivion came into existence because the
Father was not known, then if the Father comes to be
known, oblivion will not exist from that moment on.
This is the gospel of the one who is searched for,
which was revealed to those who are perfect through
the mercies of the Father—the hidden mystery, Jesus,
the Christ. Through it he enlightened those in
darkness.… Since the deficiency came into being
because the Father was not known, therefore when
the Father is known, from that moment on the
deficiency will no longer exist. As with the ignorance
of a person, when he comes to have knowledge his
ignorance vanishes of itself as the darkness vanishes
when light appears, so also the deficiency vanishes in
the perfection. So from that moment on the form is
not apparent, but it will vanish in the fusion of Unity,
for now their works lie scattered. In time Unity will
perfect the spaces. It is within Unity that each one
will attain himself; within knowledge he will purify
himself from multiplicity into Unity, consuming matter
within himself like fire, and darkness by light, death
by life.”
