Contemplating the seemingly huge gap between where I am at and where God is at, I asked myself, what will it take to learn the whole truth?
It seemed then that the "whole" of the truth I was trying to learn...
So there I was, doing something which I was feeling guilty about. But I didn't realize I was feeling guilty. Instead, I noticed I started having fearful thoughts. Except, I didn't realize they were fearful thoughts. But by that point,...
If all moments of time were expressed all at once before time existed, then it seems to make sense that "the future" has already been determined because it has already been expressed.
If the "script" of all moments in time was...
Trying to forgive other people is an error. It is not the kind of forgiveness that ACIM teaches at all. It is an attack.
First and foremost, when you are in a state of unforgiveness yourself, you are perceiving incorrectly.
This erroneous...
"3 Forgiveness through the Holy Spirit lies simply in looking beyond error from the beginning, and thus keeping it unreal for you."
Forgiveness does not react to problems you think are real and then try to fix them. Forgiveness ensures THERE...
The ego does not exist. It cannot be loved or embraced. It cannot be turned into a friend. It cannot wake up or heal or convert into something spiritual. It is nothing but an artificial idea of impossibility, and as...
The opposite of the ego’s spiritual path, is to acknowledge what you already have.
Everything about "seek and do not find" ensures you move away from God, truth, Self and life, trying to find what you already actually have.
If we could...
The problem we have mainly is we do not correctly recognize what anything is. Even if we're looking right at it.
In the separation, we stopped recognizing that God is God, that we are immortal, that separation is impossible, and that...
Identity is completely tied to how much awareness you have.
Everyone believes that "all of their self" is defined by what they are aware of.
When you look within, whatever you are aware of as being within yourself, you will regard that...
When there is a lack of awareness, ie awareness if blocked in some way, there is an inability to see the whole picture.
This "blindness" leaves a person with only a limited scope of ability to access information.
It does not matter...
There is a subtle form of ego projection which may go unnoticed.
Sometimes other people are arguing or upset. It may not necessarily have anything to do with you and you might not be actively a part of the argument.
But the...
Nothing has gone wrong.
There is nothing wrong with you.
You have not sinned.
You are immortal.
You cannot be hurt or suffer or be sick or die.
God created you eternal and holy forever.
You are sustained by the love of God at all times.
You...
I used to attack myself pretty severely through the fear of being judged by others. I was painfully shy and perceived a need to withdraw in an effort to protect myself, but all this did was hurt myself deeply.
My shyness...
When we project our sin onto other people, we position ourselves as wanting to be affected by them or by the world. We want them to be the cause of us, and to experience effects against our will.
This literally is...
Ego projections boil down to a very, very simple dynamic.
1) I decide what I want to see in someone.
2) I interact with what I now see in them as if I did not put it there.
The way I interact with...
If you want miracles to happen for you, you must become willing to receive them.
You will only be able to GIVE the miracles that you have RECEIVED.
Receipt of miracles happens when you accept atonement, which does not have to mean...
This morning Jesus told me to "listen". So I just lay there and focused on listening. My thoughts stopped. It was at times difficult to maintain extreme focus on listening intently, particularly without anything to listen "to". My mind kept...
"You are not sick and you cannot die. But you can confuse yourself with things that do." - ACIM
Who we are is an immortal being. Period. That's all that we are. Immortal and safe and eternal and invulnerable and incapable...
What is real can only be increased by sharing. This is because what is real cannot changed. Nothing can be added to it or taken away because it is already complete.
Therefore in order to 'increase', the only option available to...
Nothing real can be threatened.
If this is true, it means God cannot be threatened.
It does not mean that God is threatened but handles it or recovers. It means God literally is incapable of being hurt, threatened, or damaged in any...
