Orb Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) One thing I can't wrap my head around in the Bible is the book of Revelation. Apparently it's about the end of the world and how Jesus is gonna come down from the sky on a horse. I'm very open minded to seeing the "non dual" in the Bible and honestly reading scripture has improved the quality of my experience, but the whole day of judgement thing is difficult to understand or deconstruct. Any thoughts? Edited January 5 by Orb Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless." - A Comment on the 8th Ox Herding Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Perhaps it’s descriptive of self-realization, as a world, Jesus or experience would be two, or second(s). In the nondual sense a day of judgment wouldn’t involve two, one judging another, but karma and one coming down off one’s high horse if you will. Judgement is synonymous with discernment, astuteness, perception and… common sense. Quote Mention YouTube Website Sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ACIM talks about is perfect, total goodness with no loss or sacrifice or conditions of any kind.
