My Assumptions Are That —
• We have bodies that die, but we
 
have immortal
souls that transcend death. (Therefore death is
an illusion.)
• While our bodies and our senses tell us we are
separate individuals, we are all 
one
. We all indi-
vidually vibrate as part of a single whole.
• We are 
not 
human beings having an occasional
spiritual experience; rather 
we are spiritual be-
ings having a human experience.
• Vibrationally, we live in two worlds simultaneously:
1) The World of Divine Truth (Spirit)
2) The World of Humanity
• We have chosen to fully experience the energy of
the World of Humanity simply to magnify, many
times over, our appreciation of the beauty of our
being part of the 
One
in Light and Love, by choos-
ing to experience their direct opposites (fear, sepa-
ration, darkness) in this world of physicality. This
world, therefore, is a spiritual classroom amd life
is the curriculum. The objective is to awaken to
the truth of who we are and return home.
• When we decided to learn and grow by incarnat-
ing into the world of humanity, God gave us total
free will
to live the experiment in any way we chose
and to find for ourselves the way back home.
• Life is not random. It provides for the purposeful
unfoldment of our own Divine plan with opportuni-
ties to make choices and decisions in every mo-
ment.

• An assumption quite different from the above,
and less attractive, is that when we were one
with the 
All-That-Is
, we experimented with the
thought that separation was possible. (The origi-
nal sin.) We projected that thought; it became our
(false) reality — this world — and the Ego (our
belief in separation) was born. The Ego now en-
sures its survival by “protecting” us from our over-
whelming guilt, as well as the fear of God’s wrath,
through the mechanisms of repression and pro-
jection. (See Chapter 7.)
• 
We create our reality through the Law of Cause
and Effect. Thoughts are causes that show up in
our world as physical effects. Reality is an
outplaying of our consciousness. Our world offers
a mirror of our beliefs. (See Chapter 9.)
• We, at the soul level, get precisely what we need
in our lives for our spiritual growth. How we judge
what we actually get determines whether we ex-
perience life as either painful or joyful.
• Through relationship we grow and learn. Through
relationship we heal and are returned to wholeness
and truth. We need others to mirror our
misperceptions and our projections and to help us
bring repressed material to consciousness for
healing.
• Through the Law of Resonance, we attract people
who resonate with our issues so we can heal them.
For example, if abandonment is our issue, we will
tend to attract people who abandon us. In that
sense they serve as our teachers. (See Chapter
8)
• We come into the physical life experience with a
mission: to fully experience a particular energy pat-
tern so we can feel the feelings associated with

that pattern and then transform that energy through
love. (See Chapter 11).
• Physical reality is an illusion created by our five
senses. Matter consists of interrelating energy
fields vibrating at different frequencies. (See Chap-
ter 13)
