These
existential realms
differ
not in terms of place or
time but solely in their vibrational level. The study of
quantum physics has proven that all reality consists of
energy patterns and that consciousness sustains these
energy patterns. Thus, the world of form exists as dense
concentrations of energy vibrating at frequencies we
can experience through our physical senses. On the
other hand, we experience the World of Divine Truth as
an inner knowing and an extrasensory awareness.
Because these two worlds exist on the same continuum,
we do not live sometimes in one and sometimes in the
other. We live in both worlds at the same time. How-
ever, which world we experience
at any given moment
depends upon our awareness of them. Obviously, as
human beings our consciousness resonates easily with
the World of Humanity. Our senses naturally pull us into
that world and convince us that it is real. Though some
people are less grounded in the world of objective re-
ality than others, human beings, on the whole,
are firmly
entrenched at this end of the continuum — which is how
it should be.
Our awareness of the World of Divine Truth is limited,
and this too appears to be by design. Our soul enters
into this world to experience being human — thus our
memory and awareness of the World of Divine Truth
must be limited to allow us the full experience. We
would not be able to take on fully the energies of change,
fear, death, limitation, and duality that characterize this
world if we knew they were illusory. If we incarnated
with
this memory, we would deny ourselves the oppor-
tunity to transcend these states and
to discover
that
they are, indeed, simply illusions. By forgetting who
we are when we take on a physical body, we give our-
selves the chance to remember that we are spiritual
beings having a physical experience.

During a gathering in Atlanta in 1990, I heard Gerald
Jampolsky, a well known
author and authority on
A
Course In Miracles
, tell a true story about a couple re-
turning home from the hospital after giving birth to their
second child.
It is a story that illustrates the fact that we have a true
knowing of our connection with God and our own soul
but that we forget it fairly quickly after taking on a body.
The couple was conscious of the need to include their
three-year-old daughter in the celebration of the new
baby's homecoming. But they felt perturbed by her in-
sistence that she be allowed
to go alone into the room
with the baby. To honor her request, yet oversee the
situation, they switched on the baby monitor so they
could at least hear what was going on, if not see it.
What they heard astounded them. The little girl went
straight to the crib, looked through the bars at the new-
born child, and said, “Baby, tell me about God. I'm be-
ginning to forget.”
The soul normally experiences no limitation. However,
when it incarnates,
the soul creates a personality, or
Ego, that carries the particular characteristics it needs
for its healing journey and chooses to forget its con-
nection to the World of Divine Truth.
In spite of the veil we lower over the memory of our one-
ness with God, which the above story suggests might
become fully drawn around the age of three, as humans
we are not denied a connection to the World of Divine
Truth. Our soul carries a vibration that resonates with
the World of Divine Truth and connects us to that world.
We can aid this connection
through practices like medi-
tation, prayer, yoga, breathwork, dancing, and chant-
ing. Through such practices, we raise our vibration
enough to resonate with that of the World of Divine Truth.

There is evidence to suggest that even this is changing
rapidly. Everywhere I go I ask the same question of my
workshop participants.
“How many of you are aware
of a quickening or a speedup in our spiritual evolu-
tion — and that we are being asked by Spirit to move
more quickly through our lessons in preparation for a
profound shift of some kind?”
There is almost unani-
mous concurrence. More and more people now talk
openly and freely about always being in touch with their
‘guidance’ and are willing to trust it more each day. The
veil between the two worlds is definitely becoming thin-
ner. Radical Forgiveness contributes to this process
both at the individual level and at the level of collective
awareness.
Yet the two types of forgiveness remain literally worlds
apart. They each demand a different way of looking at
the world and at life.
