These related [[distortions]] represent a picture of what actually occurred in the [[separation]], or the "detour into [[fear]]. "None of this existed before the separation, nor does it actually exist now. [[Everything]] God created is like Him. Extension, as undertaken by God, is similar to the inner [[radiance]] that the children of the Father inherit from Him. Its real source is [[internal]]. This is as true of [[the Son]] as of [[the Father]]. In this sense the creation includes both the creation of the Son by God, and the Son's creations when his [[mind]] is healed. This requires God's [[endowment]] of the Son with [[free will]], because all loving creation is freely given in one continuous line, in which all aspects are of the same order.

The [[Garden of Eden]], or the pre-separation condition, was a state of [[mind]] in which nothing was needed. When [[Adam]] listened to the "lies of the serpent," all he heard was untruth. You do not have to continue to believe what is not true unless you [[choose]] to do so. All that can literally disappear in the twinkling of an eye because it is merely a misperception. What is seen in [[dreams]] seems to be very real. Yet the [[Bible]] says that a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.2 deep sleep] fell upon [[Adam]], and nowhere is there reference to his waking up. The world has not yet [[experienced]] any comprehensive reawakening or [[rebirth]]. Such a rebirth is impossible as long as you continue to project or miscreate. It still remains within you, however, to extend as God extended his [[spirit]] to you. In [[reality]] this is your only choice, because your [[free will]] was given you for your [[joy]] in creating the [[perfect]].
