Whew! No need to get bogged down in the details of inside vs. So in Truth – above the line in Ken’s famous metaphysics chart – all placeholder words are equivalent, since there is only Perfect Oneness when we awaken from dualistic dreams. As Ken Wapnick reminds us, we can’t stray too far from the (pure non-dual) metaphysics of ACIM. Yet, perhaps this was intentional to remind us that in pure non-duality – our happily inevitable destiny, there is no “other” and beyond the “top of the ladder” in our journey home (to where we never left) our identity must be identical as One Spirit to all, since there is no other. This seems to be the opposite order of how I think of myself typically as a tiny fragment of something much larger, in turn a part of something even further beyond human comprehension, with the “silly seemingly separate self” being a merely a “part” that I imagined went AWOL from the Christ Mind which is the metaphoric offspring of the Perfect Oneness that created Us. The way this is phrased evokes a visual of nesting Our Creator within the Christ Mind within Our Real Identity – the capital “S” eternally shared and infinitely inclusive Self. Today’s Workbook Lesson – particularly the latter part of the title – ” … in Him (Christ or Holy Spirit) is His Creator, as He is in me ( ACIM, W-354) – reminded me of the metaphor of Russian Dolls, or perhaps a Venn Diagram, if you’re familiar with either of those.
