Hi Fam,
i will summarize sort of a consensus in our Course
study group, regarding 'Jesus as symbol' who
supposedly 'left our realm'. It was written:
> [nti] "[...]But Jesus left your realm and returned to the
> Father, that you may be freed to find your answer within yourself."
>> [david] Do you agree that Jesus is still teaching? For example ACIM,
>> Way of Mastery and much more. Also he maintains personal communication
>> with those who hear him.
>>> [regina]
> There are several places in NTI that address Jesus as a symbol.
> Another word for symbol in this context could be "communication
> idea." As a communication idea, Jesus is very active.
Regarding Jesus' unique role and the meaning of 'symbolism'
we are reminded of Jesus clearly saying in the Course :
"God Himself is not symbolic; He is FACT. The Atonement, too, is totally
without symbolism."
