You have been told that your function in this world is healing, and your function in Heaven is creating.

The ego teaches that your function on earth is destruction, and you have no function at all in Heaven.

ACIM T-13.IV.1.3-4

Ego teaches that you, as a body are important and have a purpose in its world. Your role is to attack and destroy those who threaten this world; whereas, in Heaven you have no purpose and are essentially valueless.

Ego's intent is to annihilate your body, "bury you here, leaving you no inheritance except the dust out of which it thinks you were made".   (1:5-6)

As long as ego is content with your contribution in sustaining its world,  it may  grant you a state of total unawareness, or it could offer you hell.

However, it seems that neither of those are  nearly as objectionable as Heaven.

This reality's definition of Heaven is Hell and/or nothingness, projecting a very fearful experience, definitely an ominous threat to the ego entity.

The ego mind created the ideas of "hell and oblivion", and diligently attempts to prove their existence in order to establish the reality of this world.

Claiming that if hell and nothingness exists, then this ego reality would surely have to be real as well.

The intention is to keep the mind entangled within ego's beliefs, defending an existence of a world where aggression and discord rules.

 In a twisted mind,  the body's death is proof that it was right, that constant threats require the necessity of attacks.

At Home, your function is to create, in ego reality, your function is to heal your mind so you can remember the Self, as an extension of the Creator.

Precious Souls: 

Your eternal function is to create with Love!💖🙏
