People talk about forgiveness a lot, but might not recognize that judgement is its opposite. In order to forgive we have to give up being judgemental.
To be more accurate, the Holy Spirit does judge, but his judgement is...
I think one of the main reasons people seem to be homophobic, is just because we expect men to be men and women to be women. And if we ourselves are "straight" which largely means squarely or "purely" male...
I'm noticing quite a lot of ways in which our "sympathies" about victims are being uprooted in ACIM.
Where we might've bought into and felt sorry for someone who is going through difficulties or having pains or a sickness...
You can either be in a state of total forgiveness, or you are in a state of judgementalism.
In forgiveness, judgement is given to the Holy Spirit who has full access to all knowledge and can judge correctly. His...
What we think is evil in the world, is really a judgement and a meaning that we've given to it based on the ego in us.
If we were not to decide that something is evil, perhaps it is...
The world's idea of the most ideal relationship is where you find the chosen one and give them all your love. But you don't give that same love to anyone else. The chosen one gets exclusive access, special rights, permissions...
Everyone is free. Everyone is entirely given total permission to be free by God. That means that even if you choose to deny God, you are free to do so. Even if you want to try to be evil,...
When you chose to believe in being separate from God, you chose to make a thought system and world opposite to God.
That world did not have any choice of ITS OWN to determine its nature or functioning. You...
If someone wants to hate, they have every right to. Why would you want to stop them?
It seems a popular reaction to just say, they should stop hating, because hating is wrong and if they hate they are...
What we think passes for a special love relationship on Earth, is typically the exact opposite of how relationship should be in heaven. This is not something that the people of the world want to look at or hear...
What the world is, is really only the tiny instant of its current state right now. Not what it was before, and not what it will be. There is a tiny thin slice of 'time' in which everything is...
The world can't really offer you a choice, because it really has no choice.
It didn't choose, by itself, what its nature would be.
When we believed the tiny mad idea and believed in being separate from God, we...
sThe world in itself is altogether intolerable. It was designed to be a place of limitations and difficulties and problems.
As Jesus says,"Seek not ESCAPE from problems here. The world was made that problems could not BE escaped."
That means...
This is a world based on limitation, relativity, differences and lack.
What one thing has, another thing does not.
This is what makes everything different. Apples lack the color of oranges. Bananas lack the shape of apples. You can...
All of spacetime, and everything within the realm of relativity, is contradictory, impossible, insane, self-defeating, lacking and unwhole.
The reason is that it was made entirely by denying God, denying the absolute, denying wholeness, and trying to bring about...
The realisation that you need do nothing, is really the realisation of ENLIGHTENMENT. It's something that suddenly becomes very clear to you, as you reach the final goal.
The truth is that in the separation from God, there was...
The only REAL choice you have is between entire SYSTEMS. Between heaven and earth, between God and spacetime. There is no real option or choice WITHIN the system of the world.
There is no way to dig into it...
"This IS the "natural" condition of the separation. And those who learn that it is NOT natural at all, seem to be the UNnatural ones. For this world IS the opposite of Heaven, having been made to BE its...
Get used to this idea. Stop trying to make the world out to be a wonderful great thing that you want to keep forever. It's okay to forgive it and love toward it but in and of itself it...
Fear is really resistance to what is. It's an attack on what is. It's a desire to make what is go away. It's the feeling you have when you a refusing to receive something. Per the golden rule, giving...
