3/26

The title of this illustrated book

holds one small key to the illusory contentof anything we view with the human eye...

(To imagine, to dream, to

form an image of something, or to pictureoneself!)

The title Afraid Not! means in thisparticular case, Be Not Afraid.

The following illustrations and text

are inspired by the words of Jesus fromA Course in Miracles.

The images in themselves representnothing, in that creating images of something

which is impossible even to describe let alonepaint, is on one hand a pointless exercise, yet

is a way to enable the ego to gainfurther insight into the bigger picture!

For the Imaginative

THE ILLUSTRATED VERSIONFORTHEIMAGINATIVE.It seemed to me as a

writer and artist, that asmall book to

aid our sight andthereby our egos

acceptance of

A Course in Miracleswouldnt go amiss...

especially as we require

all the resources there are

when learning that ourconsciousness needs a

gentle hand in itslearning curve,

to take us

Home.

DEDICATED TO MY DEAR FRIENDS MARIE AND KARL JACQUES,who live the Course and by doing so, have given me inspiration and Love

beyond my present ability to express my Gratitude.

Well its suffering and so are we.

There is global warming, which isproducing climatic change, giving rise to

uncertain and often frightening weatherconditions all over the world.

Theres global recession, where moreand more people have less and less.

We still have wars after thousands of

years of not wanting them.

Religions representing the same God

are still in dispute about whos way is theright way

but generally speaking were good,were good thanks, why?

Oh, I was just wondering whether to

come and settle there myself, but perhaps not,thanks anyway.

Well if you had a choicewould you?

So hows yourworld then?

5/26

Perhaps a world disaster?Perhaps the loss of a loved one?

Perhaps a war in your country?Perhaps a life threatening illness?

Perhaps the end of a relationship?Perhaps being separated from your family?

and if you have suffered any of these things,did you ever really understand why they happened?

Did you ever consider there might be a Better Wayto begin to understand why you dontunderstand any of

these things?

What does it take to change yourview?

4

If you are untouched by all of the above, meaningyou do understand why they all occur in the first place

and you have no fear of the past and the future

and your health is excellent, your mind clear,your heart full of Love for your fellow Brothers and Sisters,

then you musthave found that Better Way!

To begin that journey of understanding, lets go back

to when it all appeared to start


6/26

Imagine if we were able to look uponHeaven, which we cannot for it is infiniteand eternal, but just for this moment lets

imagine that we can

there we would find it, suspended inits perfect moment, always, filled with GodsDivine Presence.

Then as we watch, something happens,

it is almost impossible to perceive at first.

It is like a tiny glimmer of something

being created, but it is not as He Creates

as we watch this tiny idea commit toits creation, it begins to rush from His Kingdom.

We are witnessing a beginning, like thebirth of something, yet as we watch we cannot

believe what we are seeing. It is leaving itsnatural home, Peace Love and Joy, from God inHis Kingdom.

It makes no sense!

Witnessing abeginning

7/26

It appears to have let a moment ofindependent consciousness take place, for

which its Fatherforgives it instantly

yet it is in this new found ability to

think, that immediately creates a fear within it

and in aflightof fear from itsFather, it begins to expand, constantlyseparating, one part from another, in the belief

that it must create something beyond the Mindof God. For surely he will not forgive this

moment of craziness.

If only it were to have remembered that

His Love of His Children knows no bounds, thatnothing had happened that wasnt instantly

corrected by His Forgiveness

but there in lay the folly of this now

growing mind of a moments madness, for itwas so busy escaping there was no time to

recollect the Knowledge of itself.

6

In a flightof fear


8/26

It continued to believe otherwise and

in its wish to avoid what it thought would be thewrath of God, it created time and space...

now moving into a new dimensionwhere everything is limited, because it is

creating itself

it is so afraid that it has now

become totally unaware that God has neverleft it, and believes itself to be separate from

Him.

Fearfully continuing, out of guilt it

merely creates more of exactly the same.

More separation, more guilt

9/26

Onwards and evermore miscreative, it

begins to make forms which in themselves arethe opposite to the Fathers Creations, forthey are made not ofLove butfrom fear

moment by moment, the panic and

chaos is echoed throughout its miscreations

a universe is made where all things will

and must come to an end, because they arenot of God or by His Hand, but created

through fear and guilt, which He knows not.

A universe which is filled with

opposites, unlike the Home of God, wherethere are no opposites, where only constancy

exists because all that has ever been createdby Him has been created in that manner

with His Love for all Eternity.

8


10/26

Now split asunder, the simpleremembrance of the Father, of all that iswhole and true, has moved from vision

obscured by the ever growing separation.

As systems of stars, galaxies,universes, and planets are created, so the

escape gives the impression that God is nowworlds apart, yet at a moments thought could

this assault be returned to that momentofseparation

this is all that it was in the Mind ofGod, but a moment andforgiven.

9

Worlds apart


11/26

And in that moment when all hadbeen set upon its path, there was need of anever present Voice of God

a Voice that would both speak

on behalf of God

and whos acceptance of

Atonement for an act that although forgiven,was to be behind the release of all the fear that

was to beset this now universal ego.

The Holy Spirit...

for with all the illusion and the

seeming wonders of this miscreated universe,only He would become the way Home.

10


12/26

And so this thinking, growingfear, spread itself out over time and space,hiding in what it believed was distance, yet

never could the Love of His Sons be trulyseparated, from each other, or from Him

as the ego force behind thiscreation made forms for its consciousness to

occupy.

In linear time, over millions ofyears, yet held within the forgiven thought ofbut a moment by the Father

the ego made bodies to hold the

thoughts of this fearful mind, the miscreatorof such an illusion.

11

The ego madebodies


13/26

And so it came to pass that beings

with the mind of the ego, who once bore theCreators ability to extend Heaven with HisBlessing, in His Likeness, chose to create a

place of contradictions.

In Heaven, where all is everconstant, where there is no fear, pain ordisharmony of the Mind, where there is no

physical body to be continually reborn, onlybut to live in confusion, age and die

there was here the insanity ofan opposite for everything

where there was no Love of a

Brother or Sister, merely the memory of It andall through lack

a lack of Knowing God.

12

And so it cameto pass


14/26

Brothers and Sisters, unable tolove one another, all for the egos wish to

conceal the Truth of where Love was reallyheld.

And so they strove to becomesomebody

to have more than each other,

to believe that one was above another, toneedthe missing expression of love fromanother, to take and hold rather than to give.

A place where wealth was only

measured by things and possessions

and where all other emotions

that disabled Peace, Love and Joyseemedto be so real.

Where the form that held the egowas under attack from that very same thing

that appeared to give it life.

A form that was born crying, that

lived in fear throughout its life and wasto die often in fear, only to return to the

same world, yet again.

13

attackpain

despair

happiness

and allother emotions

that seem to be real


15/26

What place is this where the spark ofGods creative Mind is buried amidst the guilt

to then become the very opposite of Him?

It is the place where dreams seamlessly

move into nightmares

where all that is beautiful is turnedin a moments thoughtto ugliness

this is the place we have cometo believe is Home?

Only our deepest knowing, beneath theweight of so much fear, is our salvation

a knowing that God has never left us,

that we have but a simple choice to return toHim, to create within our minds a trust onceagain, through He who keeps the door ever

open to Gods Kingdom.

14

What place is this?


16/26

A Voice so known to us, deep within us,yet seldom able to be heard

with the ego in constant controlprojecting its illusion, in fear that we might one day

listen and discover Truth.

It is the Voice of God, calling to us to letHim listen to our forgiveness of others and ourselves

where right-mindedness takes us to ourReal Inheritance, through His Atonement

15

And who beckons us?

THE HOLY SPIRIT


17/26

A soul so known to us, who has beenhere amongst us and is with us always

with the words to direct our mind andto take us lovingly to the Holy Spirit

with the Knowledge of our Father,

our Beloved Brother Jesus brings this message tous

Were I to dispel this world of illusionfor you, then you could not understand Gods

Kingdom

however, were you to dispel thisworld of illusion you believe yourself in

the Kingdom would automatically be

yours and the understanding of It too.

16

And who brings this message to us?

Peace, Love and Joy


18/26

The decision rests within us

all, to choose between the madness of ourillusory world or the path back to God with the

help of Jesus and Gods Voice, the Holy Spirit.

We cannot have both the world we

think is there which the ego creates, filled withattack, pain, despair, happiness and all

emotions other than of God andbe with Him.

We can however choose God, with

our Loving Brother to aid us, and the HolySpirit to enable our Atonement for the illusion

we have come to believe in.

Our ego would have us retain the

illusion, for in this retention the ego lives on

however, should we choose God,then the ego cannot survive the loss of itsimaginary and miscreated kingdom.

17

Ego or Truth?


19/26

There has never been a time when we werenotat Home, with God.

Our separated-self however has beenlocked in time awaiting realisation that we are in a

dream

and that we can return whenever we choose

and now with the words from our Beloved

Brother Jesus, we have a way to release this illusion inexchange for our natural heritage

Heaven.

18

Getting Home.

It is Simply a Matter of Choice!


20/26

A.. ORA world in chaotic illusion and insanity

projected from your own mind, out of fear

a fear that was unfounded but is nowreflected in all that you see around you.

A world where suffering, fear, denial,attack, pain and short lived happiness, appears

to exist.

B?..

The simple knowledge that through

changing your mind about how you see the worldand yourself and your Brothers and Sisters

through eyes that have been able to

transcend this place of sleep, dreams andnightmares and with the Holy Spirits guidance

Peace, Love and Joy can becomeonce again yours

where you feel atPeace with

yourself and with your Brothers and Sisters.

Where your goal is to return toGod in His

Heaven, through the Loving words of His Son.

19


21/26

No more the never ending cycle

of birth, death and rebirth

a cycle, created by your ego

mind, to keep you from knowing your trueinnocence.

Through the Holy Spiritsacceptance of your relinquishment of your

illusory world and physical form, in whichyou had replaced Love with judgement

you are brought to the bridge,from this world unto Gods Kingdom.

And so all that was, shall be restored

to the Father, all brought Home to be at Onewith Him once again...

even though you have never left!

Brought to the bridge.

The Big Picture


23/26

As our belief in linear time continues, from thatmoment of What if?, through our perception of it, with

form and matter, those who allow enlightenment

those who are called by the words of our

Beloved Brother Jesus through such works as A Course inMiracles

choose to understand that we are notguilty.

Through their wish to forgive themselves andtheir Brothers through the Holy Spirit, of the illusion that

the fear living through them has created

helps bring allthe Children of God, Home.

22

The Big Picture Explained.


24/26

Everything you need to know, and worktoward the dispelling of guilt and fear, apparent life

and death, is contained within the words of Guidancein

The message is as explicit as it has alwaysbeen, yet in this Course is there clarity without the

attachment of religion or ego, wishing to make of itsomething that never was.

Set yourself on the path of freedom frompain and suffering, from the inevitable chaos that the

ego will always create in an illusory world, universe,and within you too.

My instruction and the intention behind it,to convey the impossible, I hope will bring a perspective

rather than a perception, of the basic structure in the

work A Course in Miracles.

The images are not relative to Vision, butare given to enable an understanding as to how we

arrived at this point in linear time, thus disassociatingourselves from our Home and beginning the journey we

now believe ourselves to be within.

As a student myself, I have been blessed by my

past work for many years with Jesus, who has been seen

standing alongside me by many.

I am comforted by the knowledge that he isalways with me, his inspiration and Love has been

tangible at those times in my life when all else seemedto fail.

To my Beloved Brother Jesus, my Love andGratitude for your guidance and ever uplifting support.
