A: Exactly. Exactly what I have said—that this is a spiritual world, but the human sense of it is the illusion. Exactly so. The spiritual world must contain the infinity of God’s creation, including man, and can therefore have no boundaries as appear to human sense. And this is true. This universe, this one that you are living in, has no boundaries. Any boundaries are those that you have accepted from the world’s illusory sense, and you overcome that world’s illusory sense not by battling an external evil, but by knowing the truth.
Once you know that the horizon you see out there isn’t really the end of things, the coming together of the sky and land as it appears to be, but an optical illusion, you have overcome the horizon. You can now travel around the globe. It is only when you are accepting the appearance as it seems to be that you say, “Oh, I don’t want to travel far in that direction, because I’ll tumble off that end out there.” The very moment you know that that is an illusory sense, it no longer restricts you, and you then see that this is a round globe, going round and round and round and round, with no beginning and with no ending.
And so it is as spiritual discernment comes to you, you begin to perceive that your body is the temple of the living God; your business is the temple of God; your talent is the temple of God; your home is the temple of God; your life and your mind is the temple of God. And there are no limitations. None! And any limitation that appears in your experience represents your acceptance of a universal illusion, a universal belief in two powers, and you rise above it only in proportion as you abide in the truth that this universe is the temple of the living God, and any limitations that I’m aware of represents the limitations of sense, not of actuality.
