Relection Points for Chapter Two

1. This personality-self is not who we really are. We are a holographic part of the Divine Oneness.
2. We are holographic in that every part contains the whole.
3. Each human being comes to Earth to learn certain lessons which will help align the ego or mind with the soul or heart.
4. A soul contract is written to facilitate this learning process.
5. The human being or personality-self has free will of choices within the soul contract.

The dictionary defines the word hologram as...........
appropriately enough, the word hologram comes from the Greek words holos, "whole," and gramma, "message." If a hologram is cut into pieces, each piece projects the entire image, but as if viewed from a smaller subset of angles.

Oneness is All That Is and it is contained within each one of us. Each of our cells has the holographic sense of our organism as a whole. As The Course in Miracles suggests......all we see is but an illusion. It is a projection of our consciousness. I am a droplet of the Oneness consciousness as is everyone and everything else. Therefore, I contain it all in me. That perfection is in me and you, and us. At our core we are pure awareness.

We, as a droplet of pure awareness, are covered with clouds of thinking we are imperfect. Our fragmentation includes thinking we are not good enough, we will be abandoned, we cannot really trust ourselves. The pain that this causes us in our hearts urges us to seek comfort in addictions. The soul wants to align with the ego.....the reservior of our fears.....by standing by our side while we encounter life's challenges. When we choose to rise above the fear and seek peace in our hearts, the soul expands. The ego is then the passenger in the soul's car. We accomplish things from a source of soul motivation rather than a separatist ego point of view.

Our own particular lives are perfect to enable that alignment of the ego and the soul to occur. We draw to us the appropriate relationships and events that give us the opportunity to choose healing. That would be a description of a soul contract. We came here in this lifetime to learn to love in all degrees......ourselves and others and our particular life themes reflect that if we look deeply enough. Free choice creates karma...what goes around, comes around.....and so we can take as long as we like to learn the lessons. Our soul is persistent in assisting us to open our hearts in the continual parade of life events that is called our life.
