Witnessing a miracle is a teaching device

If you were witness to an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle han class="hi2">aan>ppening, you would proban class="hi2">aan>bly be simultan class="hi2">aan>neously in an class="hi2">aan>we, perhan class="hi2">aan>ps frightened, stunned, an class="hi2">aan>nd it would an class="hi2">aan>lso defy an class="hi2">aan> whole bunch of 'lan class="hi2">aan>ws' than class="hi2">aan>t you believe an class="hi2">aan>re true.

If it seems than class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>n't be possible than class="hi2">aan>t someone's broken leg is suddenly hean class="hi2">aan>led, there is just "no wan class="hi2">aan>y" than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccept than class="hi2">aan>t this is possible, an class="hi2">aan>nd yet it han class="hi2">aan>ppens in front of your fan class="hi2">aan>ce, or even to your own body, this is going to produce an class="hi2">aan> whole bunch of rean class="hi2">aan>ctions.

One of the things than class="hi2">aan>t witnessing an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle will do is it will DEMONSTRan class="hi2">Aan>TE to your mind, fan class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>nd experientian class="hi2">aan>lly, than class="hi2">aan>t something han class="hi2">aan>s just han class="hi2">aan>ppened which does not FIT into your belief system or your idean class="hi2">aan> of rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Something just occurred which defies an class="hi2">aan>ll of the lan class="hi2">aan>ws than class="hi2">aan>t you thought were rean class="hi2">aan>l. Than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>lone will EDUCan class="hi2">Aan>TE you, by demonstran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd experience, than class="hi2">aan>t the lan class="hi2">aan>ws you thought were true can class="hi2">aan>nnot be.

It will an class="hi2">aan>lso can class="hi2">aan>use your mind to become momentan class="hi2">aan>rily an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of being which tran class="hi2">aan>nscends form. "Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re temporan class="hi2">aan>ry shifts into invisibility, than class="hi2">aan>t is why they hean class="hi2">aan>l" - an class="hi2">Aan>CIM.

"Principle 16 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re tean class="hi2">aan>ching devices" - an class="hi2">Aan>CIM

If one moment your han class="hi2">aan>nd is burnt, an class="hi2">aan>nd then in the next moment your han class="hi2">aan>nd is suddenly not burnt, this miran class="hi2">aan>cle will defy an class="hi2">aan>nd tran class="hi2">aan>nscend an class="hi2">aan>ll physican class="hi2">aan>l lan class="hi2">aan>ws. Your mind will not be an class="hi2">aan>ble to process this an class="hi2">aan>t the ego level. It will be bypan class="hi2">aan>ssed. Your mind will become an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re even if just briefly, than class="hi2">aan>t bodies can class="hi2">aan>n't be rean class="hi2">aan>l, or an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st than class="hi2">aan>t physican class="hi2">aan>l form can class="hi2">aan>n't be 'stuck' being in an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in stan class="hi2">aan>te, an class="hi2">aan>nd this will give you an class="hi2">aan>ccess to TRUTH experientian class="hi2">aan>lly. This will undermine possibly everything you believe in, but you won't be an class="hi2">aan>ble to deny it. (The an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to then DENY this 'an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck by truth' will man class="hi2">aan>ke you sick. ;-)

This is similan class="hi2">aan>rly whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppened when Jesus went through the crucifixion. He did it to demonstran class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t the body is not rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th is not rean class="hi2">aan>l. When one moment the body seems to be being tortured an class="hi2">aan>nd killed, an class="hi2">aan>nd then seems to die, an class="hi2">aan>nd then an class="hi2">aan> few dan class="hi2">aan>ys lan class="hi2">aan>ter shows up an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>s though nothing han class="hi2">aan>ppened... it's not just an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of oh look, there's Jesus.. your mind instean class="hi2">aan>d is going to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n instan class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>neous shift in an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness.

If Jesus is showing you to your fan class="hi2">aan>ce, than class="hi2">aan>t bodies can class="hi2">aan>n be switched on an class="hi2">aan>nd off an class="hi2">aan>t will, one moment being dean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>nd the next moment being perfectly an class="hi2">aan>live an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in, you an class="hi2">aan>ren't going to initian class="hi2">aan>lly be an class="hi2">aan>ble to comprehend HOW, an class="hi2">aan>nd just the mere fan class="hi2">aan>ct of you experiencing this will SHOW YOU an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ke you an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re than class="hi2">aan>t the body Can class="hi2">Aan>N'T be rean class="hi2">aan>l - than class="hi2">aan>t dean class="hi2">aan>th Can class="hi2">Aan>N'T be rean class="hi2">aan>l, becan class="hi2">aan>use here is the PROOF of than class="hi2">aan>t stan class="hi2">aan>ring you in the fan class="hi2">aan>ce.

This han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> profound hean class="hi2">aan>ling effect on the mind an class="hi2">aan>nd Can class="hi2">Aan>USES an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening.

This is why miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lso tean class="hi2">aan>ching devices becan class="hi2">aan>use they demonstran class="hi2">aan>te the truth an class="hi2">aan>nd bypan class="hi2">aan>ss an class="hi2">aan>ll of the ego's lan class="hi2">aan>ws an class="hi2">aan>nd give exan class="hi2">aan>mples of, experiences of, the truth in an class="hi2">aan>ction. They educan class="hi2">aan>te by exan class="hi2">aan>mple than class="hi2">aan>t the physican class="hi2">aan>l lan class="hi2">aan>ws Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT be true. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so they han class="hi2">aan>ve the potentian class="hi2">aan>l to instan class="hi2">aan>ntly an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>nd to instan class="hi2">aan>ntly destroy illusions an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>lse beliefs.

If Jesus showed up next to you right now, an class="hi2">aan>nd then told you to shoot him dean class="hi2">aan>d, an class="hi2">aan>nd you did it, an class="hi2">aan>nd then he got up an class="hi2">aan>nd there wan class="hi2">aan>s no bullet hole an class="hi2">aan>nd he wan class="hi2">aan>s perfectly fine, it would blow your mind. Your mind would Han class="hi2">Aan>VE to expan class="hi2">aan>nd in order to an class="hi2">aan>ccommodan class="hi2">aan>te the evidence. It would show you perhan class="hi2">aan>ps for the first time in your life an class="hi2">aan> demonstran class="hi2">aan>tion of how bodies an class="hi2">aan>re not rean class="hi2">aan>l. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you would've been an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>ssuming than class="hi2">aan>t bodies an class="hi2">aan>re fixed an class="hi2">aan>nd objective an class="hi2">aan>nd constan class="hi2">aan>nt an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll the other illusions an class="hi2">aan>bout them. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now suddenly Jesus shows you than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re nothing but iman class="hi2">aan>ges which can class="hi2">aan>n be flipped into an class="hi2">aan>ny stan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> moment's notice... than class="hi2">aan>t totan class="hi2">aan>lly blows your entire world view an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t bodies an class="hi2">aan>re. It's highly educan class="hi2">aan>tionan class="hi2">aan>l.

Than class="hi2">aan>t's why Jesus uses miran class="hi2">aan>cles for TEan class="hi2">Aan>CHING, becan class="hi2">aan>use they demonstran class="hi2">aan>te the truth an class="hi2">aan>nd tean class="hi2">aan>ch by experientian class="hi2">aan>l exan class="hi2">aan>mple, which defies the ego's thought system an class="hi2">aan>nd ban class="hi2">aan>ffles onlookers, can class="hi2">aan>using them to be forced into an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening.

This is an class="hi2">aan>lso why man class="hi2">aan>ny Course students DO NOT REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY BELIEVE IN MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CLES, becan class="hi2">aan>use it is such an class="hi2">aan> world-defying, body-defying, mind-wan class="hi2">aan>rping, totan class="hi2">aan>lly tran class="hi2">aan>nscendent experience than class="hi2">aan>t the ego can class="hi2">aan>nnot conceive of it, does not support it, doesn't believe in it, can class="hi2">aan>n't be open to it, an class="hi2">aan>nd doesn't understan class="hi2">aan>nd it. So there is an class="hi2">aan> LOT of resistan class="hi2">aan>nce an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t Jesus LITERan class="hi2">Aan>LLY is tean class="hi2">aan>ching us to perform such miran class="hi2">aan>cles.

A miracle is not a shift in perception

an class="hi2">Aan> course in miran class="hi2">aan>cles never mentions the phran class="hi2">aan>se "shift in perception" except in the following pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>gran class="hi2">aan>ph, which is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>gran class="hi2">aan>ph hean class="hi2">aan>vily focused on how miran class="hi2">aan>cles relan class="hi2">aan>te to TIME. Whenever the Course mentions miran class="hi2">aan>cles, there is no tran class="hi2">aan>ce of an class="hi2">aan>ny reference to shifting of perception an class="hi2">aan>nywhean class="hi2">aan>r nean class="hi2">aan>r it or in the san class="hi2">aan>me context.

Here is the only time it san class="hi2">aan>ys "shift in perception":

"The miran class="hi2">aan>cle minimizes the need for time. In the longitudinan class="hi2">aan>l or horizontan class="hi2">aan>l plan class="hi2">aan>ne the recognition of the equan class="hi2">aan>lity of the members of the Sonship an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to involve an class="hi2">aan>lmost endless time. However, the miran class="hi2">aan>cle entan class="hi2">aan>ils an class="hi2">aan> sudden SHIFT from horizontan class="hi2">aan>l to vertican class="hi2">aan>l perception. This introduces an class="hi2">aan>n intervan class="hi2">aan>l from which the giver an class="hi2">aan>nd receiver both emerge fan class="hi2">aan>rther an class="hi2">aan>long in time than class="hi2">aan>n they would otherwise han class="hi2">aan>ve been. The miran class="hi2">aan>cle thus han class="hi2">aan>s the unique property of an class="hi2">aan>bolishing time to the extent than class="hi2">aan>t it renders the intervan class="hi2">aan>l of time it span class="hi2">aan>ns unnecessan class="hi2">aan>ry."

Now. Whan class="hi2">aan>t IS horizontan class="hi2">aan>l perception, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is vertican class="hi2">aan>l perception?

Horizontan class="hi2">aan>l perception is believing in the an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nce of the ego world an class="hi2">aan>s though it is rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>s though there an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>uses within the world which produce effects within the world. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns you believe in level confusion, man class="hi2">aan>gic, victimhood, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll the other signs of the ego. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns you believe an class="hi2">aan>nd see than class="hi2">aan>t something outside of you, to the side of you, han class="hi2">aan>s "can class="hi2">aan>used" effects in your life. This is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion an class="hi2">aan>nd it is not true.

Vertican class="hi2">aan>l perception is an class="hi2">aan> shift in VIEWPOINT, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> shift into an class="hi2">aan> different stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind, into the Right Mind, which THEN PERCEIVES the true order of the levels, an class="hi2">aan>nd the truth than class="hi2">aan>t mind is can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd the world is effect. It is an class="hi2">aan> recognition of where the ego shit is coming from. Who is the drean class="hi2">aan>mer. It is an class="hi2">aan> pretty profound BIG shift to go from horizontan class="hi2">aan>l perception to vertican class="hi2">aan>l. Your little shifts in perception an class="hi2">aan>re NOT IT, but they man class="hi2">aan>y lean class="hi2">aan>d to it eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly.

To get into the right mind is NOT something you an class="hi2">aan>re going to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to do when you stan class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>pplying forgiveness. It is not something you will even ban class="hi2">aan>rely be an class="hi2">aan>ble to do until much lan class="hi2">aan>ter.

Further, Jesus is miran class="hi2">aan>culous right now, an class="hi2">aan>nd yet he is an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>ll the wan class="hi2">aan>y. He han class="hi2">aan>s no illusions left to get rid of. There is nothing in his "perception" than class="hi2">aan>t needs shifting. Yet he is miran class="hi2">aan>culous, right now. an class="hi2">Aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>nd miran class="hi2">aan>culous. If an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is an class="hi2">aan> "shift", if it is the "shifting itself" than class="hi2">aan>t is miran class="hi2">aan>culous, then he would be INCan class="hi2">Aan>Pan class="hi2">Aan>BLE OF an class="hi2">aan>ny miran class="hi2">aan>cles since he han class="hi2">aan>s nothing left to shift. Or in other words, miran class="hi2">aan>cles would only be possible FOR PEOPLE WHO an class="hi2">Aan>RE NOT YET LOVING an class="hi2">Aan>ND MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CULOUS.

This is an class="hi2">aan> complete 180 degree flip, by the ego, ban class="hi2">aan>sed on how *IT* interprets whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is, an class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rt of ITS DEFENSE an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst miran class="hi2">aan>cles. IT thinks than class="hi2">aan>t IT does something which can class="hi2">aan>uses ITS perception to chan class="hi2">aan>nge, duan class="hi2">aan>listican class="hi2">aan>lly, from one illusion to an class="hi2">aan>nother, to an class="hi2">aan> preferan class="hi2">aan>ble illusion, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t this is "miran class="hi2">aan>culous". Fuck than class="hi2">aan>t. It is not even slightly miran class="hi2">aan>culous. It would mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> person just BEGINNING to an class="hi2">aan>pply the course, in their very first CORRECTION of perception, would BE an class="hi2">Aan> MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CLE WORKER. Than class="hi2">aan>t could not be further from the truth. No-one an class="hi2">aan>t the BEGINNING is an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>culous an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>t the END.

Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lso expressions of love. Is someone who han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ccepted an class="hi2">aan> LITTLE BIT of truth, loving? No. They an class="hi2">aan>re only slightly less han class="hi2">aan>teful. an class="hi2">Aan>re they expressing unconditionan class="hi2">aan>l love before, during, or an class="hi2">aan>fter their "shift"? No. Not until much lan class="hi2">aan>ter. Much, much lan class="hi2">aan>ter. Therefore they an class="hi2">aan>re not "expressing love" yet, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore an class="hi2">aan>re not miran class="hi2">aan>culous.

an class="hi2">Aan>lso the course san class="hi2">aan>ys "Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re everyone’s RIGHT, but PURIFICan class="hi2">Aan>TION IS NECESSan class="hi2">Aan>RY FIRST."

You Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles until you han class="hi2">aan>ve done an class="hi2">aan> shit loan class="hi2">aan>d of purifican class="hi2">aan>tion work. Than class="hi2">aan>t purifican class="hi2">aan>tion work, IS the work of "shifting perception" towan class="hi2">aan>rds the truth, it IS the work of an class="hi2">aan>ccepting CORRECTION of your perception. But it is not the "being corrected" or the "purifyING" than class="hi2">aan>t is miran class="hi2">aan>culous.

Purifying the mind is an class="hi2">aan> long slow process. It can class="hi2">aan>n tan class="hi2">aan>ke yean class="hi2">aan>rs even lifetimes. These things LEan class="hi2">Aan>D TO the development of the an class="hi2">aan>bility to be miran class="hi2">aan>culous. Otherwise, hey, an class="hi2">aan>nyone picking up an class="hi2">aan> course book can class="hi2">aan>n suddenly wan class="hi2">aan>lk on wan class="hi2">aan>ter, proving the ego’s "horizontan class="hi2">aan>l perception" lan class="hi2">aan>ws an class="hi2">aan>re bullshit? I think not.

Being miran class="hi2">aan>culous is your inheritan class="hi2">aan>nce, it is Nan class="hi2">Aan>TURan class="hi2">Aan>L, an class="hi2">aan>nd it should be the wan class="hi2">aan>y you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>LL THE TIME. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you WILL NEVER LOSE THE an class="hi2">Aan>BILITY to be miran class="hi2">aan>culous when you wan class="hi2">aan>ke up. Jesus is miran class="hi2">aan>culous NOW, even though HE is completely without an class="hi2">aan>ny ego to shift. Miran class="hi2">aan>cle-mindedness is quite an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>nced stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind. It’s not something wan class="hi2">aan>tered down an class="hi2">aan>nd insignifican class="hi2">aan>nt like some person han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> privan class="hi2">aan>te little chan class="hi2">aan>nge of mind. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re BIG an class="hi2">Aan>SS profound demonstran class="hi2">aan>tions of the power of the mind!

Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lso expressions of love an class="hi2">aan>nd they an class="hi2">aan>re expressions of the an class="hi2">aan>tonement. They express FROM the an class="hi2">aan>tonement, an class="hi2">aan>nd from the Christ mind. They do not express FROM THE EGO, nor do they express an class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rt of your purifican class="hi2">aan>tion work. But they man class="hi2">aan>y stan class="hi2">aan>rt to express an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> RESULT of your purifican class="hi2">aan>tion work an class="hi2">aan>fter some time, but only becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re becoming WILLING to RECEIVE them. THEY han class="hi2">aan>ppen becan class="hi2">aan>use you LET GOD HEan class="hi2">Aan>L YOU, not becan class="hi2">aan>use "you" - your ego - did an class="hi2">aan> little bit of work.

The purpose of purifying an class="hi2">aan>nd correcting perception is TO REMOVE BLOCKS TO an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RENESS of Love’s presence. To remove the BLOCKS. Not to "man class="hi2">aan>ke love han class="hi2">aan>ppen". You UNCOVER love. You revean class="hi2">aan>l it. You an class="hi2">aan>llow it to shine. You put an class="hi2">aan>side your denian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd your fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">Aan>LLOW love to love. This is not something you do an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> one-off. It is not something you ONLY do when you an class="hi2">aan>re "shifting". It is your Nan class="hi2">Aan>TURan class="hi2">Aan>L STan class="hi2">Aan>TE which is buried under piles of shit in your mind. It tan class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan> lot of dgiving out before it even stan class="hi2">aan>rts to become an class="hi2">aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rent than class="hi2">aan>t it is there, OR than class="hi2">aan>t you become an class="hi2">aan>ble to LET IT EXPRESS.

When love is uncovered, it is free to express itself. Jesus describes this an class="hi2">aan>utoman class="hi2">aan>tic outpouring of love, which comes an class="hi2">Aan>FTER an class="hi2">aan> LOT of purifican class="hi2">aan>tion, here:

"The only wan class="hi2">aan>y to hean class="hi2">aan>l is to be hean class="hi2">aan>led. The miran class="hi2">aan>cle extends without your help, but you an class="hi2">aan>re needed than class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>n begin. an class="hi2">Aan>ccept the miran class="hi2">aan>cle of hean class="hi2">aan>ling, an class="hi2">aan>nd it will go forth becan class="hi2">aan>use of whan class="hi2">aan>t it is. It is its nan class="hi2">aan>ture to extend itself the instan class="hi2">aan>nt it is born. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it is born the instan class="hi2">aan>nt it is offered an class="hi2">aan>nd received. No one can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>sk an class="hi2">aan>nother to be hean class="hi2">aan>led. But he can class="hi2">aan>n let himself be hean class="hi2">aan>led, an class="hi2">aan>nd thus offer the other whan class="hi2">aan>t he han class="hi2">aan>s received."

So you han class="hi2">aan>ve to do quite an class="hi2">aan> lot of "work" before you’re going to uncover love enough than class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>n go an class="hi2">aan>bout doing whan class="hi2">aan>t it does through you. IF you an class="hi2">aan>re blocking it, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot extend through you. Love MUST extend through you to perform an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle. "Miran class="hi2">aan>cles can class="hi2">aan>nnot be an class="hi2">aan>ccomplished in an class="hi2">aan> spirit of doubt", so if you just did your little "shift" for the dan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>nd beman class="hi2">aan>me SLIGHTLY more loving, but an class="hi2">aan>re still riddled with fean class="hi2">aan>r, YOU DEFINITELY an class="hi2">Aan>RE NOT performing miran class="hi2">aan>cles than class="hi2">aan>t dan class="hi2">aan>y.

Miran class="hi2">aan>cles express from an class="hi2">aan> higher level of mind, like drops of hean class="hi2">aan>ling ran class="hi2">aan>in, fan class="hi2">aan>lling down upon those than class="hi2">aan>t need hean class="hi2">aan>ling an class="hi2">aan>nd life. They express the VERTICan class="hi2">Aan>L perception, which is quite DIFFICULT to get into fully when you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> lot of ego to sort out. Getting squan class="hi2">aan>rely into the right mind, consistently, is pretty an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>nced an class="hi2">aan>nd most of us an class="hi2">aan>re nowhere nean class="hi2">aan>r it. I know I’m not, an class="hi2">aan>nd I han class="hi2">aan>ve not seem much evidence of man class="hi2">aan>ny others being there either. Where’s the miran class="hi2">aan>cles?!

Since being miran class="hi2">aan>culous is an class="hi2">aan> Nan class="hi2">Aan>TURan class="hi2">Aan>L Pan class="hi2">Aan>RT OF LOVE, becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>ll expressions of love an class="hi2">aan>re miran class="hi2">aan>culous, an class="hi2">aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use love han class="hi2">aan>s life-giving properties, an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle can class="hi2">aan>n only "shift your perception" through an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>ling than class="hi2">aan>t you RECEIVE from God. IT comes "down" to where you an class="hi2">aan>re, frees you from an class="hi2">aan> bunch of fean class="hi2">aan>r, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore you nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>lly rise up closer to God. But the miran class="hi2">aan>cle itself is not your rising up. The miran class="hi2">aan>cle is the expressing of love. The miran class="hi2">aan>cle is whan class="hi2">aan>t is coming TO you from God TO hean class="hi2">aan>l you SO THan class="hi2">Aan>T you might become closer to Him an class="hi2">aan>nd join him in being loving. You can class="hi2">aan>n’t give love if you han class="hi2">aan>ven’t received it.

So the shifting, an class="hi2">aan>s most people think of it an class="hi2">aan>nd use it, than class="hi2">aan>t shift is not miran class="hi2">aan>culous an class="hi2">Aan>T an class="hi2">Aan>LL. Not in itself. If it comes an class="hi2">aan>bout becan class="hi2">aan>use of an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CLE being experienced an class="hi2">aan>nd received, which man class="hi2">aan>y only occur when you an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPT an class="hi2">Aan>TONEMENT to some degree, then the shifting is an class="hi2">aan> SIDE EFFECT of the miran class="hi2">aan>cle doing whan class="hi2">aan>t it does.

Shifting "into" vertican class="hi2">aan>l perception first an class="hi2">aan>nd foremost is not the miran class="hi2">aan>cle itself. Shifting TO than class="hi2">aan>t perception is required BEFORE the miran class="hi2">aan>cle is possible. Once you get INTO than class="hi2">aan>t perception, THEN miran class="hi2">aan>cles can class="hi2">aan>n express, becan class="hi2">aan>use only then an class="hi2">aan>re you willing to receive them. They express FROM vertican class="hi2">aan>l perception.

During an class="hi2">aan>n intense, dran class="hi2">aan>wn out forgiveness process I wan class="hi2">aan>s pran class="hi2">aan>cticing on myself, which Holy Spirit wan class="hi2">aan>s helping me with, the first time than class="hi2">aan>t I becan class="hi2">aan>me willing enough to drop fan class="hi2">aan>lse beliefs to go an class="hi2">Aan>LL THE Wan class="hi2">Aan>Y to the an class="hi2">aan>tonement principle, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccept, however dimly, than class="hi2">aan>t somehow I MUST be innocent still becan class="hi2">aan>use sin did not han class="hi2">aan>ppen..... which wan class="hi2">aan>s only like an class="hi2">aan> yean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>go an class="hi2">aan>fter pran class="hi2">aan>cticing the course for 15-odd yean class="hi2">aan>rs, than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s the FIRST TIME than class="hi2">aan>t Jesus san class="hi2">aan>id to me...."NOW you will be an class="hi2">aan>ble to perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles." It took an class="hi2">aan> LOT of purifican class="hi2">aan>tion for me to become willing enough to "go there", to get into the right mind an class="hi2">aan>nd perceive from it, just for an class="hi2">aan> short time, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> glimpse of truth. TO receive LOVE from God for the first time.

So miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re not shifts in perception. They an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> perman class="hi2">aan>nent Wan class="hi2">Aan>Y OF BEING than class="hi2">aan>t is nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l to an class="hi2">aan>ll of God’s crean class="hi2">aan>tions. They an class="hi2">aan>re whan class="hi2">aan>t nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppens when love expresses. When love is blocked, "something han class="hi2">aan>s gone wrong", can class="hi2">aan>using miran class="hi2">aan>cles to NOT Han class="hi2">Aan>PPEN. Han class="hi2">aan>ving blocks to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness is this problem. Man class="hi2">Aan>NY BLOCKS must be removed before love is even remotely going to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to flow through you. IT tan class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan> lot of development of TRUST an class="hi2">aan>nd willingness an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>rlessness to become miran class="hi2">aan>cle minded.

Being miran class="hi2">aan>cle minded is an class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">Aan> FINan class="hi2">Aan>L Nan class="hi2">Aan>TURan class="hi2">Aan>L STan class="hi2">Aan>TE of mind, not an class="hi2">aan> little blip an class="hi2">aan>long the wan class="hi2">aan>y. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if you han class="hi2">aan>ve fean class="hi2">aan>rs, pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>rly FEan class="hi2">Aan>RS OF MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CLES, they will not be han class="hi2">aan>ppening. an class="hi2">Aan>nd Man class="hi2">Aan>NY people an class="hi2">aan>re very an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id of miran class="hi2">aan>cles.

The wan class="hi2">aan>tering down of miran class="hi2">aan>cles han class="hi2">aan>s come an class="hi2">aan>bout lan class="hi2">aan>rgely through this error (Holy Spirit’s word) of thinking than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is "only an class="hi2">aan> shift". If an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is only an class="hi2">aan> shift, when the shift is done, there is no more miran class="hi2">aan>cles. Mean class="hi2">aan>ning, love, which is an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys miran class="hi2">aan>culous, would han class="hi2">aan>ve to stop being love. This is clean class="hi2">aan>rly mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. Believing miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re shifts, is an class="hi2">aan> Fan class="hi2">Aan>NTan class="hi2">Aan>STIC Wan class="hi2">Aan>Y to KEEP REan class="hi2">Aan>L MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CLES an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>Y FROM YOU in fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd in an class="hi2">aan>n unwillingness to entertan class="hi2">aan>in the possibilities than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles present. It han class="hi2">aan>ppens becan class="hi2">aan>use people an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id of the power of the mind an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>nt to keep the course nice an class="hi2">aan>nd tidy an class="hi2">aan>nd quiet, studied in privan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd kept behind closed doors. LET THE MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CLES OUT!

It should an class="hi2">aan>lso be noted, than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>nnot become loving without becoming miran class="hi2">aan>culous. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re inherent to expressions of love. Not just some.... oh I feel wan class="hi2">aan>rm an class="hi2">aan>nd fuzzy an class="hi2">aan>bout you.... we’re tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout man class="hi2">aan>ssive POWERFUL love here. The Power of God, nothing less. "There is NOTHING your holiness can class="hi2">aan>nnot do." "an class="hi2">Aan>ll Power in hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>rth han class="hi2">aan>s been given you."

By an class="hi2">aan>ll mean class="hi2">aan>ns keep on an class="hi2">aan>-shifting. It’ll purify your mind an class="hi2">aan>nd help you to get out of the wan class="hi2">aan>y of love. But then wan class="hi2">aan>tch out. Love is going to stan class="hi2">aan>rt expressing, an class="hi2">aan>nd some pretty lan class="hi2">aan>w-defying, ego-brean class="hi2">aan>king, "impossible"-seeming stuff is going to stan class="hi2">aan>rt han class="hi2">aan>ppening. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you will Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT to perform these miran class="hi2">aan>cles becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re WILLING to receive them an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPT than class="hi2">aan>t everyone else is worthy of them an class="hi2">aan>lso. "You can class="hi2">aan>n only give the miran class="hi2">aan>cles you han class="hi2">aan>ve received".

Are you a blessing or a curse?

I'm lean class="hi2">aan>rning recently than class="hi2">aan>t my mind an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttitude man class="hi2">aan>y well an class="hi2">aan>ffect other people. I think this is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of being more responsible for whan class="hi2">aan>t my mind is doing "to itself", an class="hi2">aan>nd extends to others, in than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>tever I an class="hi2">aan>m doing to myself I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to do to others. Whan class="hi2">aan>tever sense of sin or guilt I han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>bout myself I an class="hi2">aan>m likely to project. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this projecting is an class="hi2">aan> kind of psychologican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ccuses an class="hi2">aan>nd wean class="hi2">aan>kens others.

I notice than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll the van class="hi2">aan>rious thoughts I han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan> person, an class="hi2">aan>ll the fean class="hi2">aan>rs, wonderings, idean class="hi2">aan>s, visuan class="hi2">aan>lizan class="hi2">aan>tions of whan class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>y or man class="hi2">aan>y not han class="hi2">aan>ppen, form an class="hi2">aan> kind of "broan class="hi2">aan>dcan class="hi2">aan>st" than class="hi2">aan>t I experience an class="hi2">aan>s kind of "in front of me". Perhan class="hi2">aan>ps I experience it an class="hi2">aan>s being outside of me or coming out of me, due to the disan class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>tion of projection.

So there is this whole "wan class="hi2">aan>ll" or screen filled with ego thoughts than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m pushing out of me. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so by even han class="hi2">aan>ving these thoughts an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, "an class="hi2">aan>bout" someone, it's an class="hi2">aan>s if I an class="hi2">aan>m putting those thoughts onto the person an class="hi2">aan>nd holding them within it. Fran class="hi2">aan>ming them in my idean class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>bout them, an class="hi2">aan>nd trying to man class="hi2">aan>ke it an class="hi2">aan>pply to them. Even if these thoughts seem han class="hi2">aan>rmless in the thinking of them.

Whan class="hi2">aan>tever I think an class="hi2">aan>bout them is an class="hi2">aan> form of fran class="hi2">aan>ming them, interpreting them, deciding whan class="hi2">aan>t to see in them, han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan>n opinion an class="hi2">aan>bout their condition etc. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the thing is, the ego han class="hi2">aan>s this rean class="hi2">aan>lly snean class="hi2">aan>ky wan class="hi2">aan>y of suggesting than class="hi2">aan>t "an class="hi2">aan>ll thoughts an class="hi2">aan>re neutran class="hi2">aan>l", "you can class="hi2">aan>n think an class="hi2">aan>nything without han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan>ny effect", "your opinion is unbian class="hi2">aan>sed".

Ean class="hi2">aan>rly in the workbook we're told than class="hi2">aan>t "I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan>lone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts". Than class="hi2">aan>t's an class="hi2">aan> pretty man class="hi2">aan>jor dean class="hi2">aan>l right there. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it an class="hi2">aan>lso tan class="hi2">aan>ps into the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t our minds an class="hi2">aan>re powerful an class="hi2">aan>nd our thoughts han class="hi2">aan>ve effects. It an class="hi2">aan>lso san class="hi2">aan>ys "I han class="hi2">aan>ve no neutran class="hi2">aan>l thoughts", so the ego myth of an class="hi2">aan> neutran class="hi2">aan>l unbian class="hi2">aan>sed objective opinion or evan class="hi2">aan>luan class="hi2">aan>tion of whan class="hi2">aan>t something is or is not doing, is an class="hi2">aan> lie. Every thought is bian class="hi2">aan>sed an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n influence an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>n effect an class="hi2">aan>nd is an class="hi2">aan> DECISION to see or believe in an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in wan class="hi2">aan>y, NOT an class="hi2">aan>n impan class="hi2">aan>rtian class="hi2">aan>l detan class="hi2">aan>ched idean class="hi2">aan>.

The power of the mind to an class="hi2">aan>ffect rean class="hi2">aan>l consequences is something which Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id of.

"People prefer to believe than class="hi2">aan>t their thoughts can class="hi2">aan>nnot exert rean class="hi2">aan>l control becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re literan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">Aan>FRan class="hi2">Aan>ID of them. Theran class="hi2">aan>pists try to help people who an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id of their own dean class="hi2">aan>th wishes by deprecian class="hi2">aan>ting the power of the wish. They even an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to "free" the pan class="hi2">aan>tient by persuan class="hi2">aan>ding him than class="hi2">aan>t he can class="hi2">aan>n think whan class="hi2">aan>tever he wan class="hi2">aan>nts, without an class="hi2">Aan>NY rean class="hi2">aan>l effect an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll."

So you could put it this wan class="hi2">aan>y. Either you an class="hi2">aan>re broan class="hi2">aan>dcan class="hi2">aan>sting love to people, or you an class="hi2">aan>re broan class="hi2">aan>dcan class="hi2">aan>sting fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck to people. How's than class="hi2">aan>t for responsibility? The whole collection of ego interference, predictions, controls, visuan class="hi2">aan>lizan class="hi2">aan>tions, iman class="hi2">aan>ginings, worries, concerns, etc than class="hi2">aan>t my mind han class="hi2">aan>s, an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll forms of an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck. So if I'm not loving, I'm an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking. "Whan class="hi2">aan>t is not love is murder." Gottan class="hi2">aan> get honest here. We an class="hi2">aan>re either hean class="hi2">aan>lers an class="hi2">aan>nd blessers, or we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ckers.

I see than class="hi2">aan>t if I'm in an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck mode, which is unto myself but an class="hi2">aan>lso now seems to be "an class="hi2">aan>bout someone not myself", an class="hi2">aan>nd is still an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> in my own mind, than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n't exan class="hi2">aan>ctly be helpful to others. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct it's whan class="hi2">aan>t Jesus refers to an class="hi2">aan>s imprisoning your brother. an class="hi2">Aan>nd he even goes an class="hi2">aan>s fan class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>s to san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t we're can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of cursing people with this.

""Can class="hi2">aan>sting spells" merely mean class="hi2">aan>ns "an class="hi2">aan>ffirming error", an class="hi2">aan>nd error is lan class="hi2">aan>ck of love. When man class="hi2">aan>n projects this onto others, he DOES imprison them, but only to the extent than class="hi2">aan>t he reinforces errors they han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy man class="hi2">aan>de. This distortion man class="hi2">aan>kes them vulneran class="hi2">aan>ble to the curse of others, since they han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy cursed themselves. The miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker can class="hi2">aan>n only bless, an class="hi2">aan>nd this undoes the curse an class="hi2">aan>nd frees the soul from prison."

So if someone is an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy in some wan class="hi2">aan>ys cursing themselves, wean class="hi2">aan>kening themselves, an class="hi2">aan>nd you then stan class="hi2">aan>rt to go into an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>ction, an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>rt to join with them in this belief, an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>ll for ego illusions, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve fean class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>nd other an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck (non-light) thoughts an class="hi2">aan>bout them, you an class="hi2">aan>re cursing them an class="hi2">aan>nd reinforcing their errors. Your thoughts an class="hi2">aan>re NOT idle or privan class="hi2">aan>te, they an class="hi2">aan>re han class="hi2">aan>ving effects. Fortunan class="hi2">aan>tely, negan class="hi2">aan>tive ego thoughts an class="hi2">aan>re likely "wean class="hi2">aan>ker" than class="hi2">aan>n light-filled miran class="hi2">aan>cle thoughts.

Most likely it's an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te to san class="hi2">aan>y, we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll pretty sick minded an class="hi2">aan>nd spend most of our time an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking ean class="hi2">aan>ch other psychologican class="hi2">aan>lly. If I an class="hi2">aan>m in sin an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt, I an class="hi2">aan>m not rean class="hi2">aan>lly going to be very helpful to others. I an class="hi2">aan>m likely cursing people an class="hi2">aan>ll the time, not blessing them. If I wan class="hi2">aan>nt to be an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker, in which I express love to people which an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>s the power to an class="hi2">aan>ffect them positively, to hean class="hi2">aan>l their minds an class="hi2">aan>nd bodies, to set them free from imprisonment, then I an class="hi2">aan>m going to get my own mind hean class="hi2">aan>led so than class="hi2">aan>t I can class="hi2">aan>n bless, not curse.

When you withhold or cean class="hi2">aan>se to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck/project sin with the mind, when you an class="hi2">aan>re not being in fean class="hi2">aan>r, when your ego isn't running wild with interference an class="hi2">aan>nd plan class="hi2">aan>nning an class="hi2">aan>nd deciding everything an class="hi2">aan>nd plan class="hi2">aan>ying God, when you an class="hi2">aan>re listening an class="hi2">aan>nd following God's will an class="hi2">aan>nd trusting Him in love, you effectively "tan class="hi2">aan>ke off of" others the chan class="hi2">aan>ins of imprisonment an class="hi2">aan>nd the curses you han class="hi2">aan>ve been putting onto them. This DOES an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n EFFECT on them. You an class="hi2">aan>re now "not supporting" THEIR own self-curse an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re not reinforcing their own wean class="hi2">aan>kness. Instean class="hi2">aan>d you supply the lan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd strengthen them through your miran class="hi2">aan>culous blessing.

"The tan class="hi2">aan>sk of the miran class="hi2">aan>cle-worker thus becomes to DENY THE DENIan class="hi2">Aan>L OF TRUTH The sick must hean class="hi2">aan>l THEMSELVES, for the truth is IN them. But, han class="hi2">aan>ving OBSCURED it, the light in an class="hi2">Aan>NOTHER mind must shine into theirs, becan class="hi2">aan>use than class="hi2">aan>t light IS theirs."

So there is this pivotan class="hi2">aan>l messan class="hi2">aan>ge in the course. Either we an class="hi2">aan>re in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck upon ourselves an class="hi2">aan>nd others, which imprisons us an class="hi2">Aan>ND them, in which we an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>ct like an class="hi2">aan> prison guan class="hi2">aan>rd controlling an class="hi2">aan>nd isolan class="hi2">aan>ting an class="hi2">aan>nd defining people's confinement to idean class="hi2">aan>s of limitan class="hi2">aan>tion, OR we an class="hi2">aan>re setting ourselves an class="hi2">aan>nd our brothers free by shining freedom onto them which an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly HELPS them. By not supporting their self curse, we can class="hi2">aan>n perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles to an class="hi2">aan>llevian class="hi2">aan>te their own imprisonment. Your loving mind Can class="hi2">Aan>N HEan class="hi2">Aan>L OTHER MINDS!

"The miran class="hi2">aan>cle is the an class="hi2">aan>ct of an class="hi2">aan> Son of God who han class="hi2">aan>s lan class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>side an class="hi2">aan>ll fan class="hi2">aan>lse gods, an class="hi2">aan>nd who can class="hi2">aan>lls on his brothers to do likewise. It is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ct of fan class="hi2">aan>ith, becan class="hi2">aan>use it is the recognition than class="hi2">aan>t his brother Can class="hi2">Aan>N do it. It is an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>ll to the Holy Spirit in his mind, an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>ll to Him which is strengthened by this joining. Becan class="hi2">aan>use the miran class="hi2">aan>cle-worker han class="hi2">aan>s hean class="hi2">aan>rd Him, he strengthens His Voice in an class="hi2">aan> sick brother by wean class="hi2">aan>kening his belief in sickness, which he does NOT shan class="hi2">aan>re.

So we han class="hi2">aan>ve to an class="hi2">aan>sk ourselves an class="hi2">aan> humble question. Do we wan class="hi2">aan>nt to be an class="hi2">aan> prison guan class="hi2">aan>rd, controller, an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cker, limiter, interferer, free-will denyer, an class="hi2">aan>nd curser todan class="hi2">aan>y.... or will we get out of the wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>nd be miran class="hi2">aan>cle working hean class="hi2">aan>lers who can class="hi2">aan>n only bless an class="hi2">aan>nd extend love an class="hi2">aan>nd who can class="hi2">aan>n literan class="hi2">aan>lly bring an class="hi2">aan>bout the relean class="hi2">aan>se of others by our willingness to ONLY bless with thoughts of light, strength, support an class="hi2">aan>nd love? We can class="hi2">aan>n resurrect the dean class="hi2">aan>d by believing in our own life. We can class="hi2">aan>n hean class="hi2">aan>l our brothers. This is the goan class="hi2">aan>l.

Our thoughts exert rean class="hi2">aan>l influence. This is why we han class="hi2">aan>ve to lean class="hi2">aan>rn an class="hi2">aan>bout the power of the mind.

What is a miracle? Time for a rethink

I han class="hi2">aan>ven't been focusing on miran class="hi2">aan>cles for an class="hi2">aan> while, but kind of an class="hi2">aan>ccidentan class="hi2">aan>lly lan class="hi2">aan>tely I've been finding myself exposed to some stan class="hi2">aan>tements an class="hi2">aan>bout miran class="hi2">aan>cles. I seem to be seeing them in an class="hi2">aan> different light. Which is funny becan class="hi2">aan>use "seeing in the light" is an class="hi2">aan> big pan class="hi2">aan>rt of it.

There is one thing an class="hi2">Aan>CIM san class="hi2">aan>ys fan class="hi2">aan>irly clean class="hi2">aan>rly an class="hi2">aan>nd it's than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re ONLY seen in light. It an class="hi2">aan>lso san class="hi2">aan>ys miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>nd vision an class="hi2">aan>re completely connected to ean class="hi2">aan>ch other. an class="hi2">Aan>t times it an class="hi2">aan>lso suggests miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re so high in terms of stan class="hi2">aan>tes of consciousness, an class="hi2">aan>s to be right up an class="hi2">aan>t the christ level. Such an class="hi2">aan>s than class="hi2">aan>t the eyes of christ deliver them to an class="hi2">aan>ll they look upon.

It an class="hi2">aan>lso tells us than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles, seen in light, an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll over the plan class="hi2">aan>ce. an class="hi2">Aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle stan class="hi2">aan>nds next to whan class="hi2">aan>t seemed to be an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception, an class="hi2">aan>nd these miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re even there when we don't see them. We can class="hi2">aan>n block an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of the miran class="hi2">aan>cles but than class="hi2">aan>t doesn't mean class="hi2">aan>n they're not there. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t suggests they an class="hi2">aan>re "wan class="hi2">aan>ys of seeing."

I an class="hi2">aan>lso found in experience recently than class="hi2">aan>t in one instan class="hi2">aan>nce where I wan class="hi2">aan>s driving behind an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>bout to scan class="hi2">aan>pegoan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nd then chose not to, kind of "holding ban class="hi2">aan>ck" the projection of guilt, Jesus can class="hi2">aan>lled it an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle. So then than class="hi2">aan>t got me thinking, whan class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle rean class="hi2">aan>lly? We're an class="hi2">aan>lso told than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>nd grievan class="hi2">aan>nces an class="hi2">aan>re opposites. an class="hi2">Aan>lso than class="hi2">aan>t ego-projection an class="hi2">aan>nd miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re opposites. So than class="hi2">aan>t tells us an class="hi2">aan> bit an class="hi2">aan>bout the stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind or the an class="hi2">aan>ctivities of mind.

We're an class="hi2">aan>lso told than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles don't "do" an class="hi2">aan>nything, an class="hi2">aan>lthough we're an class="hi2">aan>lso told they UNDO the interference than class="hi2">aan>t the ego wan class="hi2">aan>s DOING. They "correct" the mind an class="hi2">aan>nd sort of stran class="hi2">aan>ighten out perceptions. They're an class="hi2">aan>lso described an class="hi2">aan>s the tran class="hi2">aan>nslan class="hi2">aan>tion of denian class="hi2">aan>l into truth. an class="hi2">Aan>lso than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles merely remind the mind of who the drean class="hi2">aan>mer is, ie putting your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness ban class="hi2">aan>ck in touch with you being can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd not seeing yourself an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> victim or an class="hi2">aan>s in an class="hi2">aan> position to scan class="hi2">aan>pegoan class="hi2">aan>t.

Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r to be tied into true perceptions, an class="hi2">aan>s though they an class="hi2">aan>re glimpses of an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te perception of something. But we're an class="hi2">aan>lso told than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re thought crean class="hi2">aan>tions, than class="hi2">aan>t they can class="hi2">aan>n energize others, than class="hi2">aan>t they can class="hi2">aan>n supply an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re expressions of love. In pran class="hi2">aan>yer love is received, an class="hi2">aan>nd in miran class="hi2">aan>cles love is expressed.

The impression I'm getting is than class="hi2">aan>t the love is coming down from an class="hi2">aan> higher level ie hean class="hi2">aan>ven, an class="hi2">aan>nd we an class="hi2">aan>re the open door who han class="hi2">aan>s to extend them. This is an class="hi2">aan> sort of can class="hi2">aan>use-effect chan class="hi2">aan>in, where God gives us the miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>nd then we tran class="hi2">aan>nsfer them to others. an class="hi2">Aan>s in "Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> universan class="hi2">aan>l blessing from God through me to an class="hi2">aan>ll my brothers."

If we an class="hi2">aan>re in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of christ mind where we're fully open to the truth, then we an class="hi2">aan>re fully an class="hi2">aan>ble to extend an class="hi2">aan>nd pan class="hi2">aan>ss on these miran class="hi2">aan>cles, these pan class="hi2">aan>rcels of love. It's an class="hi2">aan>lmost like they reflect the idean class="hi2">aan> of crean class="hi2">aan>tions, in which we an class="hi2">aan>re co-crean class="hi2">aan>ting with God, extending God an class="hi2">aan>nd pan class="hi2">aan>ying forwan class="hi2">aan>rd whan class="hi2">aan>t we've received. This is why you can class="hi2">aan>n only give the miran class="hi2">aan>cles you've received.

On the one han class="hi2">aan>nd it seems than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is like an class="hi2">aan> gift of love, an class="hi2">aan> form of hean class="hi2">aan>ling, which corrects the mind an class="hi2">aan>nd lifts it up out of fan class="hi2">aan>lse perceptions into true perception. an class="hi2">Aan>s stan class="hi2">aan>ted in terms of miran class="hi2">aan>cles "entan class="hi2">aan>iling" an class="hi2">aan> sudden shift into vertican class="hi2">aan>l perception. an class="hi2">Aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time this gift of love han class="hi2">aan>s power an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ling in it, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ll love does, an class="hi2">aan>nd so while it corrects your sight an class="hi2">aan>nd you "see with the miran class="hi2">aan>cle" or through the miran class="hi2">aan>cle-sight, you an class="hi2">aan>lso extend than class="hi2">aan>t love an class="hi2">aan>nd power an class="hi2">aan>nd it can class="hi2">aan>n can class="hi2">aan>use things to han class="hi2">aan>ppen.

Jesus an class="hi2">aan>lso refers to them an class="hi2">aan>s exan class="hi2">aan>mples of right thinking. Right thinking is san class="hi2">aan>nity an class="hi2">aan>nd true perception. an class="hi2">Aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>cy of thought an class="hi2">aan>nd mind. These moments of clan class="hi2">aan>rity an class="hi2">aan>nd non-an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd non-judgement an class="hi2">aan>nd non-projection, recognize sinlessness ie an class="hi2">aan>s in forgiveness, an class="hi2">aan>nd broan class="hi2">aan>dcan class="hi2">aan>st than class="hi2">aan>t wholeness of mind to the whole sonship. They an class="hi2">aan>re thus an class="hi2">aan>lso expressions of holy relan class="hi2">aan>tionship ie totan class="hi2">aan>l unconditionan class="hi2">aan>l relan class="hi2">aan>tionship.

Since Jesus refers to them an class="hi2">aan>s thought-crean class="hi2">aan>tions, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t thoughts can class="hi2">aan>n crean class="hi2">aan>te higher or lower rean class="hi2">aan>lities, these miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re clean class="hi2">aan>rly an class="hi2">aan> function of mind an class="hi2">aan>nd thought, which includes power an class="hi2">aan>nd love, an class="hi2">aan>s kind of an class="hi2">aan>cts of "higher drean class="hi2">aan>ming". These miran class="hi2">aan>cles lift up the mind an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>l it, an class="hi2">aan>s in "interceding for your holiness". an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result you see correctly, an class="hi2">aan>nd your correct seeing han class="hi2">aan>s corrective properties which can class="hi2">aan>n shine light into other minds an class="hi2">aan>nd correct them.

Thinking of someone like Jesus in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of christ-mind, or nean class="hi2">aan>r to it, he wan class="hi2">aan>s so sided with hean class="hi2">aan>ven's lan class="hi2">aan>ws than class="hi2">aan>t he could constan class="hi2">aan>ntly ran class="hi2">aan>dian class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd pan class="hi2">aan>ss on than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>culousness an class="hi2">aan>t will. He could use the mind, in combinan class="hi2">aan>tion of thought an class="hi2">aan>nd belief, an class="hi2">aan>nd with the power of God behind it, to can class="hi2">aan>use things to han class="hi2">aan>ppen. an class="hi2">Aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>ch of these were love-ban class="hi2">aan>sed expressions.

A vaccine is not a cure - atonement is

"Only san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion can class="hi2">aan>n be san class="hi2">aan>id to cure."

There is only one problem - the sense of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God. God is immortan class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd perman class="hi2">aan>nent hean class="hi2">aan>lth. If you deny God, you an class="hi2">aan>re denying life an class="hi2">aan>nd inducing dean class="hi2">aan>th. It is ONLY the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God which Can class="hi2">Aan>USES an class="hi2">Aan>LL SUFFERING, including an class="hi2">aan>ll forms of sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th.

To deny God is to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck your hean class="hi2">aan>lth. Defending yourself an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst God is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck thought, an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking your invulneran class="hi2">aan>bility. Sickness becomes an class="hi2">aan> defense an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the truth (God), man class="hi2">aan>de to "protect you from God", but with the an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l effect of "protecting you from hean class="hi2">aan>lth." In sickness you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to "san class="hi2">aan>ve your life" by protecting yourself from life. This is clean class="hi2">aan>rly insan class="hi2">aan>ne an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>nnot work.

"an class="hi2">Aan>llegian class="hi2">aan>nce to the denian class="hi2">aan>l of God is the ego's religion. The god of sickness obviously deman class="hi2">aan>nds the denian class="hi2">aan>l of hean class="hi2">aan>lth, becan class="hi2">aan>use hean class="hi2">aan>lth is in direct opposition to its own survivan class="hi2">aan>l."

"Sickness is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to prove you can class="hi2">aan>n be hurt (an class="hi2">aan>re mortan class="hi2">aan>l)."

"It is your tan class="hi2">aan>sk to hean class="hi2">aan>l the sense of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de him sick."

There is no other problem. an class="hi2">Aan>LL sickness is can class="hi2">aan>used by sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ting from God. Denying God induces illness. Your mind is the sole can class="hi2">aan>use of an class="hi2">aan>ll suffering, even dean class="hi2">aan>th. The ONLY solution is the an class="hi2">aan>tonement, which COMPLETELY eran class="hi2">aan>ses an class="hi2">aan>ll sense of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccepts God an class="hi2">aan>s truth. This man class="hi2">aan>kes the denian class="hi2">aan>l of hean class="hi2">aan>lth impossible, man class="hi2">aan>king sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th impossible. an class="hi2">Aan>tonement cures wholly becan class="hi2">aan>use it represents WHOLENESS.

"The perceptuan class="hi2">aan>l content of miran class="hi2">aan>cles is wholeness."

"The guiltless mind can class="hi2">aan>nnot suffer. Being san class="hi2">aan>ne, it hean class="hi2">aan>ls the body becan class="hi2">aan>use IT han class="hi2">aan>s been hean class="hi2">aan>led. The san class="hi2">aan>ne mind can class="hi2">aan>nnot conceive of illness, becan class="hi2">aan>use it can class="hi2">aan>nnot conceive of an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking an class="hi2">aan>nything or an class="hi2">aan>nyone."

"an class="hi2">Aan>tonement hean class="hi2">aan>ls with certan class="hi2">aan>inty, an class="hi2">aan>nd cures an class="hi2">aan>ll sickness. For the mind which understan class="hi2">aan>nds than class="hi2">aan>t sickness can class="hi2">aan>n be nothing but an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m is not deceived by forms the drean class="hi2">aan>m man class="hi2">aan>y tan class="hi2">aan>ke. Sickness where guilt is an class="hi2">aan>bsent can class="hi2">aan>nnot come, for it is but an class="hi2">aan>nother form of guilt. an class="hi2">Aan>tonement does not hean class="hi2">aan>l the sick (but does result in this), for than class="hi2">aan>t is not an class="hi2">aan> cure. It tan class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y the guilt than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes the sickness possible. (which hean class="hi2">aan>ls the sick) an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t is cure indeed.

***For sickness now is gone***, with nothing left to which it can class="hi2">aan>n return." an class="hi2">Aan>tonement is the restoran class="hi2">aan>tion of your immortan class="hi2">aan>lity. It man class="hi2">aan>kes you utterly invulneran class="hi2">aan>ble. You can class="hi2">aan>n no longer be sick or die. Nothing can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ppen an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will. You han class="hi2">aan>ve no need for defenses becan class="hi2">aan>use you know you can class="hi2">aan>nnot be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked. Nothing rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>n be threan class="hi2">aan>tened.

"The mind than class="hi2">aan>t serves the Spirit is invulneran class="hi2">aan>ble."

"Those who an class="hi2">aan>ccept an class="hi2">Aan>tonement, an class="hi2">Aan>RE invulneran class="hi2">aan>ble."

"You an class="hi2">aan>re invulneran class="hi2">aan>ble BECan class="hi2">Aan>USE you an class="hi2">aan>re guiltless."

"This hean class="hi2">aan>ls the Sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd plan class="hi2">aan>ces within man class="hi2">aan>n the one defense an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst an class="hi2">aan>ll Sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion-mind errors which can class="hi2">aan>n man class="hi2">aan>ke him perfectly invulneran class="hi2">aan>ble." When you sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from (deny, oppose) God, you block your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of the presence of love (life) within you. Seeing lan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd being in need, you seek for whan class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan>bsent, outside of you. This begins "seek an class="hi2">aan>nd do not find." You will not find it outside becan class="hi2">aan>use it is inside.

You look for yourself, your love, your life an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>lth, outside of you, where they do not exist. Seeking outside of yourself for this Can class="hi2">Aan>USES sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd suffering, becan class="hi2">aan>use it tan class="hi2">aan>kes you an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>Y from God an class="hi2">aan>nd life, which an class="hi2">aan>re WITHIN you. You try to find them where they do not exist, an class="hi2">aan>nd the more you try the worse you suffer. Seeking for God outside yourself is the an class="hi2">aan>voidan class="hi2">aan>nce of God within yourself.

"Pean class="hi2">aan>ce is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttribute ***in YOU. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot find it outside.*** an class="hi2">Aan>ll mentan class="hi2">aan>l illness is some form of EXTERNan class="hi2">Aan>L sean class="hi2">aan>rching. Mentan class="hi2">aan>l hean class="hi2">aan>lth is INNER pean class="hi2">aan>ce." Perceiving an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck of love within, you project lan class="hi2">aan>ck without. This man class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan> world of lan class="hi2">aan>ck. Coming from the internan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck on God, it is an class="hi2">aan> projected an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck-world. "The world wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck on God." "The world of bodies is the world of sin." "The world is an class="hi2">aan> (projected) picture of the crucifixion of God's son."

This is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan> projection of, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> disowning of, can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l power. You don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt to an class="hi2">aan>dmit than class="hi2">aan>t YOU Can class="hi2">Aan>USE YOUR OWN SUFFERING - ie you an class="hi2">aan>re the one denying hean class="hi2">aan>lth. You iman class="hi2">aan>gine than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>tion is outside of you, an class="hi2">aan>nd you see yourself an class="hi2">aan>s can class="hi2">aan>used BY it. This fran class="hi2">aan>mes the world an class="hi2">aan>s "sinning an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst you" ie can class="hi2">aan>using you an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will, man class="hi2">aan>king you an class="hi2">aan> powerless effect. This sets you up to be an class="hi2">aan> victim, or receiver of the world, which you now "sense" through the body's inputs.

You han class="hi2">aan>ve given the world, which you an class="hi2">aan>re drean class="hi2">aan>ming/han class="hi2">aan>llucinan class="hi2">aan>ting, an class="hi2">aan>ll the power it seems to han class="hi2">aan>ve. You han class="hi2">aan>ve given YOUR power an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y in trying to empower it to han class="hi2">aan>ve power over you. You han class="hi2">aan>ve given it your can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd will. You think it han class="hi2">aan>s your life, an class="hi2">aan>nd contan class="hi2">aan>ins your self. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you see it an class="hi2">aan>s can class="hi2">aan>using you. It is therefore an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking you. It is your enemy an class="hi2">aan>nd your san class="hi2">aan>vior, becan class="hi2">aan>use it does things to you.

The world now is seen an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> world of sin, in which the world can class="hi2">aan>n hurt you. It decides when you will suffer. It decides how you become sick. It decides when you will die an class="hi2">aan>nd how much pan class="hi2">aan>in you will endure. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of this seems to han class="hi2">aan>ppen an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will from the outside in. an class="hi2">Aan>nything the world can class="hi2">aan>n do TO you, is an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will, regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of it seeming to be positive or negan class="hi2">aan>tive.

You then divide up the world into sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te pan class="hi2">aan>rts to try to "spirituan class="hi2">aan>lize" some an class="hi2">aan>nd "demonize" others. You pick an class="hi2">aan>nd choose certan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>spects of the world to "do things to you" than class="hi2">aan>t you prefer. You try to an class="hi2">aan>void its an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cks, while collecting its lovely trean class="hi2">aan>sures. You defend an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst its han class="hi2">aan>rsh wean class="hi2">aan>ther with your little fran class="hi2">aan>gile house. You seek for its fan class="hi2">aan>ncy can class="hi2">aan>rs while trying to an class="hi2">aan>void an class="hi2">aan> cran class="hi2">aan>sh. You wan class="hi2">aan>nt only the good food not the ban class="hi2">aan>d stuff. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so you man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> ban class="hi2">aan>rgan class="hi2">aan>in with the world, to try to induce it to "do only good things to you", while an class="hi2">aan>voiding an class="hi2">aan>ll the ban class="hi2">aan>d things. an class="hi2">Aan>nd when it seems to go well, you think you an class="hi2">aan>re "living the drean class="hi2">aan>m." But you han class="hi2">aan>ve gan class="hi2">aan>ined the world, an class="hi2">aan>nd lost your soul.

"Whan class="hi2">aan>t denies its own existence an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cks itself is not of Him. He did not man class="hi2">aan>ke two minds, with Hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>s the glan class="hi2">aan>d effect of one, an class="hi2">aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>rth the other's sorry outcome which is Hean class="hi2">aan>ven's opposite in every wan class="hi2">aan>y."

The world is two-fan class="hi2">aan>ced. The world is self-contran class="hi2">aan>dictory. It offers you pan class="hi2">aan>in, an class="hi2">aan>nd offers you san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion from than class="hi2">aan>t pan class="hi2">aan>in. It hurts you, then offers you hean class="hi2">aan>ling. It threan class="hi2">aan>tens to destroy you, then tries to san class="hi2">aan>ve you. This is becan class="hi2">aan>use the world han class="hi2">aan>s come from the belief than class="hi2">aan>t BOTH hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>nd hell exist. Than class="hi2">aan>t life an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>re both possible. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so the world depicts the contran class="hi2">aan>diction of opposites. It seems to pan class="hi2">aan>rtly help, an class="hi2">aan>nd pan class="hi2">aan>rtly hurt.

an class="hi2">Aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result, EVERYTHING in the world is not one thing, but two. It is an class="hi2">aan> world of duan class="hi2">aan>lities an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> double-edged sword. Everything which seems to help, MUST an class="hi2">aan>lso hurt. Everything which seems to hurt, in some wan class="hi2">aan>y helps. Snan class="hi2">aan>ke venom can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rtian class="hi2">aan>l medicine. Surgery can class="hi2">aan>n kill you. an class="hi2">Aan>LL foods han class="hi2">aan>ve toxicity to them, some worse than class="hi2">aan>n others. an class="hi2">Aan>ll medicines exan class="hi2">aan>ggeran class="hi2">aan>te certan class="hi2">aan>in body functions while depressing others. The externan class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>nipulan class="hi2">aan>tion of the body is thus seen an class="hi2">aan>s the only san class="hi2">aan>ne solution to being externan class="hi2">aan>lly man class="hi2">aan>nipulan class="hi2">aan>ted.

This is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly inescan class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble. an class="hi2">Aan>nything the world can class="hi2">aan>n seem to do to you an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will is Man class="hi2">Aan>GIC. an class="hi2">Aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>gic is an class="hi2">aan> mixture of an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd defense. To be "an class="hi2">aan>ffected by the world" is still an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of being victimized an class="hi2">aan>nd in need, regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of whether the effects an class="hi2">aan>re preferred.

We try to focus ourselves on finding the "lean class="hi2">aan>st han class="hi2">aan>rmful solution" to problems, to minimize the risks, an class="hi2">aan>nd to skew the picture to man class="hi2">aan>ke it seem like there an class="hi2">aan>re "completely han class="hi2">aan>rmless solutions". We han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> fictionan class="hi2">aan>l idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t some things in the world an class="hi2">aan>re totan class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>rmless. But the world Han class="hi2">Aan>S NO han class="hi2">aan>rmless solutions. EVERY one of its solutions is an class="hi2">aan> problem in its own right. Its effects can class="hi2">aan>use more effects.

In fan class="hi2">aan>ct, the world han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> somewhan class="hi2">aan>t sinister motive, which can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r to be hidden. It ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly wan class="hi2">aan>nts you dean class="hi2">aan>d. Sooner or lan class="hi2">aan>ter. Even if it gives you scran class="hi2">aan>ps an class="hi2">aan>nd hopes an class="hi2">aan>nd promises, every one of its helping han class="hi2">aan>nds is lan class="hi2">aan>ced with poison. Its every an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to "man class="hi2">aan>ke you han class="hi2">aan>ppy" sets you up for loss an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>dness.

an class="hi2">Aan>nything it can class="hi2">aan>n give to you, it can class="hi2">aan>n just an class="hi2">aan>s ean class="hi2">aan>sily tan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y. an class="hi2">Aan>nything you "get" from it, is an class="hi2">aan> deception with an class="hi2">aan> cost. This is becan class="hi2">aan>use the world wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de WITH an class="hi2">aan>nd FROM the notion of the REJECTION OF LIFE. The world is man class="hi2">aan>de of the idean class="hi2">aan> of dean class="hi2">aan>th, becan class="hi2">aan>use it can class="hi2">aan>me from rejecting immortan class="hi2">aan>lity. So it can class="hi2">aan>nnot an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly offer you life. It can class="hi2">aan>nnot give you wholeness. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it can class="hi2">aan>nnot provide an class="hi2">aan> CURE for an class="hi2">aan>nything - or an class="hi2">aan> cure for ITSELF. an class="hi2">Aan>nd being the inducer of dean class="hi2">aan>th, it will do an class="hi2">aan>nything BUT cure dean class="hi2">aan>th.

"There is an class="hi2">aan> tendency to think the world can class="hi2">aan>n offer consolan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd escan class="hi2">aan>pe from problems than class="hi2">aan>t its purpose is to keep."

"Without the idean class="hi2">aan> of dean class="hi2">aan>th there is no world."

"Rean class="hi2">aan>l choice is no illusion.

Becan class="hi2">aan>use the world comes from the wish to die, ie the wish to deny God an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>lth, it is driven by an class="hi2">aan> MOTIVE of dean class="hi2">aan>th.

an class="hi2">Aan>nything the world "does to you" is man class="hi2">aan>gic.

This simply goes ban class="hi2">aan>ck to the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t the ONLY PROBLEM is the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God, which is the sole can class="hi2">aan>use of inducing an class="hi2">aan>ll sickness, suffering an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th.

This is the man class="hi2">aan>in problem which an class="hi2">Aan>LL man class="hi2">aan>gican class="hi2">aan>l solutions shan class="hi2">aan>re. They an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r to chan class="hi2">aan>nge the body, BUT NOT the mind.

There is no pill for "the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion". There is no medican class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n induce runion with God. There is no surgery which can class="hi2">aan>n cut out the ego. There is no ban class="hi2">aan>ndan class="hi2">aan>id sufficient enough to hean class="hi2">aan>l the wound of the denian class="hi2">aan>l of hean class="hi2">aan>lth. an class="hi2">Aan>nd no van class="hi2">aan>ccine can class="hi2">aan>n EVER fully guan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ntee your san class="hi2">aan>fety or than class="hi2">aan>t of others. It man class="hi2">aan>y seem to do SOMETHING, but it can class="hi2">aan>nnot do everything.

Whan class="hi2">aan>t than class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>ves you with is one of two options.

1) Hean class="hi2">aan>l the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God, an class="hi2">aan>ccept an class="hi2">aan>tonement, receive an class="hi2">aan> complete CURE, an class="hi2">aan>nd never suffer an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in. This man class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan>ll sickness impossible becan class="hi2">aan>use you choose to stop can class="hi2">aan>using it, an class="hi2">aan>nd there is no other can class="hi2">aan>use.

2) an class="hi2">Aan>void hean class="hi2">aan>ling the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, Man class="hi2">Aan>INTan class="hi2">Aan>IN sickness, choose from an class="hi2">aan> selection of LIMITED an class="hi2">aan>nd Pan class="hi2">Aan>RTIan class="hi2">Aan>LLY EFFECTIVE man class="hi2">aan>gican class="hi2">aan>l trean class="hi2">aan>tments which WILL hurt you in some wan class="hi2">aan>y, an class="hi2">aan>nd try to live with the consequences.

If you think than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n elect to use man class="hi2">aan>gican class="hi2">aan>l remedies WITHOUT ill effects, you an class="hi2">aan>re in denian class="hi2">aan>l. They only seem to do an class="hi2">aan>nything BECan class="hi2">Aan>USE of your denian class="hi2">aan>l. You might weigh up the seeming risks, look an class="hi2">aan>t the man class="hi2">aan>nman class="hi2">aan>de "stan class="hi2">aan>tistics", an class="hi2">aan>nd decide for yourself (or preferan class="hi2">aan>bly with God) an class="hi2">aan>s to whether to indulge in man class="hi2">aan>gic or not. But let's be clean class="hi2">aan>r, for your hean class="hi2">aan>lth an class="hi2">aan>s well, than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ny man class="hi2">aan>gican class="hi2">aan>l solution can class="hi2">aan>nnot ONLY hean class="hi2">aan>l. It han class="hi2">aan>s to an class="hi2">aan>lso can class="hi2">aan>use some form of han class="hi2">aan>rm. It is becan class="hi2">aan>use you BELIEVE in han class="hi2">aan>rm than class="hi2">aan>t you think you NEED it in the first plan class="hi2">aan>ce, an class="hi2">aan>nd this belief works an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your hean class="hi2">aan>lth.

Man class="hi2">aan>ybe you an class="hi2">aan>re willing to an class="hi2">aan>ccept than class="hi2">aan>t, an class="hi2">aan>lthough you can class="hi2">aan>nnot honestly be fully an class="hi2">aan>t pean class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>bout it. No-one who recognizes without denian class="hi2">aan>l whan class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>gican class="hi2">aan>l solutions an class="hi2">Aan>RE an class="hi2">aan>nd WHY they exist an class="hi2">aan>nd WHan class="hi2">Aan>T their motive is, can class="hi2">aan>n rest in pean class="hi2">aan>ce. You can class="hi2">aan>n resign yourself to an class="hi2">aan> compromise, willing to suffer in some wan class="hi2">aan>ys to OFFSET the others. But this is how the world worlds. This is the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of physics an class="hi2">aan>nd entropy. You become willing to suffer an class="hi2">aan> seemingly "sman class="hi2">aan>ller pan class="hi2">aan>in" in exchan class="hi2">aan>nge for the reduction of an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>rger one. It's an class="hi2">aan> tran class="hi2">aan>deoff. You buy an class="hi2">aan>nd sell risk in an class="hi2">aan>n effort to minimize cost, while an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> cost.

Do not pretend though than class="hi2">aan>t medicines or an class="hi2">aan> van class="hi2">aan>ccine or an class="hi2">aan>n injection or an class="hi2">aan> pill or an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in kind of food or drink or even an class="hi2">aan>ny form of san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion - sex, drugs, rock an class="hi2">aan>nd roll - can class="hi2">aan>n undo the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion in the mind an class="hi2">aan>nd truly prevent illness. Nothing externan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>n fix the INTERNan class="hi2">Aan>L problem. The internan class="hi2">aan>l problem han class="hi2">aan>s Can class="hi2">Aan>USED the externan class="hi2">aan>l to an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>llucinan class="hi2">aan>ted world of suffering. an class="hi2">Aan>nd then you an class="hi2">aan>re looking to an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>de-up dean class="hi2">aan>th-induced world, to san class="hi2">aan>ve you from dean class="hi2">aan>th. It can class="hi2">aan>nnot ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely work.

"For this world is the symbol of punishment, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll the lan class="hi2">aan>ws which seem to govern it an class="hi2">aan>re the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of dean class="hi2">aan>th."

This doesn't mean class="hi2">aan>n you shouldn't necessan class="hi2">aan>rily USE man class="hi2">aan>gic IF you need to, wan class="hi2">aan>nt to, or for whan class="hi2">aan>tever rean class="hi2">aan>son. Sometimes such thing can class="hi2">aan>n seem to an class="hi2">aan>llevian class="hi2">aan>te suffering. People wouldn't likely tan class="hi2">aan>ke them if they didn't "seem to help". Some people can class="hi2">aan>nnot "live" without externan class="hi2">aan>l support, man class="hi2">aan>jor medican class="hi2">aan>tions, physican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tus, an class="hi2">aan>nd van class="hi2">aan>rious other help. Surgery can class="hi2">aan>n seem to san class="hi2">aan>ve lives. But surgery can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>lso induce complican class="hi2">aan>tions.

"an class="hi2">Aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l mean class="hi2">aan>ns which man class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccepts an class="hi2">aan>s remedies for bodily ills an class="hi2">aan>re simply restan class="hi2">aan>tements of man class="hi2">aan>gic principles. It wan class="hi2">aan>s the first level of the error to believe than class="hi2">aan>t the body crean class="hi2">aan>ted its own illness. Therean class="hi2">aan>fter, it is an class="hi2">aan> second mis-step to an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to hean class="hi2">aan>l it through non-crean class="hi2">aan>tive an class="hi2">aan>gents. It does not follow, however, than class="hi2">aan>t the an class="hi2">aan>pplican class="hi2">aan>tion of these very wean class="hi2">aan>k corrective devices an class="hi2">aan>re evil."

Your best bet is seeking spirituan class="hi2">aan>l guidan class="hi2">aan>nce from an class="hi2">aan> higher source - the Holy Spirit - Jesus - an class="hi2">Aan>ngels etc.... an class="hi2">aan>s to whan class="hi2">aan>t to choose. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns you han class="hi2">aan>ve to "settle" for non-miran class="hi2">aan>culous externan class="hi2">aan>l help, for an class="hi2">aan> non-whole trean class="hi2">aan>tment, due to whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re willing to an class="hi2">aan>ccept right now, so be it. But then keep working on your forgiveness an class="hi2">aan>nd moving towan class="hi2">aan>rds the an class="hi2">aan>cceptan class="hi2">aan>nce of an class="hi2">aan>tonement an class="hi2">aan>s well. an class="hi2">Aan>tonement is the GUan class="hi2">Aan>Ran class="hi2">Aan>NTEE of hean class="hi2">aan>lth forever.

Forgiveness is a lie - a happy fiction

"Forgiveness might be can class="hi2">aan>lled an class="hi2">aan> kind of han class="hi2">aan>ppy fiction; an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y in which the unknowing can class="hi2">aan>n bridge the gan class="hi2">aan>p between their perception an class="hi2">aan>nd the truth. They can class="hi2">aan>nnot go directly from perception to knowledge becan class="hi2">aan>use they do not think it is their will to do so."

So forgiveness bridges the gan class="hi2">aan>p between Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE perception an class="hi2">aan>nd KNOWLEDGE, by producing an class="hi2">aan> temporan class="hi2">aan>ry intermedian class="hi2">aan>te stan class="hi2">aan>te between the two which SYMBOLIZES knowledge closely enough to man class="hi2">aan>ke the tran class="hi2">aan>nsition to it ean class="hi2">aan>sier.

But if you think an class="hi2">aan>bout it, forgiveness entan class="hi2">aan>ils you giving mean class="hi2">aan>ning to everything you see, just an class="hi2">aan>s unforgiveness does. You project in order to perceive. So in effect, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to "decide", somewhan class="hi2">aan>t ran class="hi2">aan>ndomly, than class="hi2">aan>t you're going to just choose to love the world. an class="hi2">Aan>nd by loving it, you push love onto it, an class="hi2">aan>nd see than class="hi2">aan>t love in it. Not than class="hi2">aan>t it's rean class="hi2">aan>lly there. an class="hi2">Aan>ny more than class="hi2">aan>n when you push han class="hi2">aan>tred an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt onto it it's seen in it but it's not rean class="hi2">aan>lly there.

"Ean class="hi2">aan>rth can class="hi2">aan>n reflect hean class="hi2">aan>ven or hell an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>s you wish."

So it seems like this decision an class="hi2">aan>s to whan class="hi2">aan>t you will perceive is rean class="hi2">aan>lly quite an class="hi2">aan>rbitran class="hi2">aan>ry. It's not rean class="hi2">aan>lly ban class="hi2">aan>sed on an class="hi2">aan>nything. It's an class="hi2">aan>lmost like san class="hi2">aan>ying than class="hi2">aan>t you just wan class="hi2">aan>ke up one dan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>nd decide than class="hi2">aan>t, for an class="hi2">aan> chan class="hi2">aan>nge of pan class="hi2">aan>ce, todan class="hi2">aan>y you're going to love things instean class="hi2">aan>d of han class="hi2">aan>te them. Like, the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t you love things isn't ban class="hi2">aan>sed on whan class="hi2">aan>t the thing is, but on whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re deciding to project.

So it's like you han class="hi2">aan>ve to tan class="hi2">aan>ke the world, which is neutran class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd just spontan class="hi2">aan>neously decide you're going to love it, in spite of itself, just becan class="hi2">aan>use you choose to do so. Not becan class="hi2">aan>use it deserves it or is man class="hi2">aan>de of love or an class="hi2">aan>nything dependent on it. Just some internan class="hi2">aan>l decision than class="hi2">aan>t you're going to an class="hi2">aan>dopt an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>ttitude towan class="hi2">aan>rds yourself an class="hi2">aan>nd everything you see.

Essentian class="hi2">aan>lly this mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t forgiveness is an class="hi2">aan> kind of fiction or an class="hi2">aan> lie, something than class="hi2">aan>t you're sort of man class="hi2">aan>king up an class="hi2">aan>s you go an class="hi2">aan>long. You're just choosing to be more loving, of your free will. You could just an class="hi2">aan>s ean class="hi2">aan>sily choose to be han class="hi2">aan>teful. Perhan class="hi2">aan>ps this is why Jesus an class="hi2">aan>lso can class="hi2">aan>lls it an class="hi2">aan> "han class="hi2">aan>ppy fiction". Put in an class="hi2">aan>nother wan class="hi2">aan>y, an class="hi2">aan> kind of "han class="hi2">aan>ppy man class="hi2">aan>ke-believe" or "an class="hi2">aan> han class="hi2">aan>ppy lie." an class="hi2">Aan> lie which seems to symbolize truth.

Sometimes than class="hi2">aan>t's whan class="hi2">aan>t it feels like, trying to forgive stuff. It's like we're an class="hi2">aan>sked to just be loving just for the heck of it. Just ran class="hi2">aan>ndomly. Yesterdan class="hi2">aan>y you were han class="hi2">aan>ting, todan class="hi2">aan>y try being loving. Then tomorrow you can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in. an class="hi2">Aan>fter an class="hi2">aan>ll this is an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>bout giving everything an class="hi2">aan>ll the mean class="hi2">aan>ning it han class="hi2">aan>s. an class="hi2">Aan>s Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys, the world han class="hi2">aan>s no mean class="hi2">aan>ning of its own an class="hi2">aan>nd your mind must give it mean class="hi2">aan>ning.

It kind of feels to me somewhan class="hi2">aan>t "unfounded" to forgive an class="hi2">aan>nything, just on the ban class="hi2">aan>sis than class="hi2">aan>t it's an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> CHOICE. It's something you han class="hi2">aan>ve to choose to do. Just an class="hi2">aan>s you choose to suffer. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to choose to be forgiving, choose to not an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, choose to not man class="hi2">aan>ke guilty. Sort of, just for the fun of it.

Of course there's an class="hi2">aan> higher purpose here in than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> more forgiving an class="hi2">aan>ttitude an class="hi2">aan>ligns your perception closer to God an class="hi2">aan>nd his lan class="hi2">aan>ws, which an class="hi2">aan>lso brings more han class="hi2">aan>ppiness, which you man class="hi2">aan>y hopefully prefer. But everyone is still free to choose whan class="hi2">aan>t they wan class="hi2">aan>nt. I guess the moran class="hi2">aan>l of the story is than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re not forced to han class="hi2">aan>ve to forgive, everyone is free to choose an class="hi2">aan>s they wish - an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>s they wish. an class="hi2">Aan>nd becoming forgiving is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> deliberan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t you're going to han class="hi2">aan>ve to just decide an class="hi2">aan>nd commit to, just becan class="hi2">aan>use you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to, or becan class="hi2">aan>use you see it an class="hi2">aan>s something you prefer.

What is a miracle in A Course in Miracles?

I'd like to try to explan class="hi2">aan>in from my point of view whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is. However, I han class="hi2">aan>ve to an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re still some an class="hi2">aan>spects of miran class="hi2">aan>cles I do not understan class="hi2">aan>nd. So this is an class="hi2">aan> work in progress. Tan class="hi2">aan>ke whan class="hi2">aan>t you like an class="hi2">aan>nd lean class="hi2">aan>ve the rest.

Firstly, there an class="hi2">aan>re two levels. an class="hi2">Aan> higher level an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> lower level. Think of ean class="hi2">aan>ch level an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>lm of existence. The higher level is where God han class="hi2">aan>ngs out. In-between them is the idean class="hi2">aan> of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd then below is where the ego han class="hi2">aan>ngs out. You could equan class="hi2">aan>te these to hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>rth.

In truth, the higher level is the only can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l power. In this higher level sits the Son of God who is drean class="hi2">aan>ming, an class="hi2">aan>nd in His drean class="hi2">aan>ming he man class="hi2">aan>kes the lower level. He sort of projects it downwan class="hi2">aan>rds from an class="hi2">aan>bove. Mind, an class="hi2">aan>s can class="hi2">aan>use, produces the picture of the world, an class="hi2">aan>n effect.

This picture of the world contan class="hi2">aan>ins *everything* in the world, an class="hi2">aan>nd he simultan class="hi2">aan>neously puts in plan class="hi2">aan>ce everything than class="hi2">aan>t moves or seems to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ffects on other things, plus the effects than class="hi2">aan>t those can class="hi2">aan>uses seem to han class="hi2">aan>ve.

There an class="hi2">aan>re no can class="hi2">aan>uses inside the drean class="hi2">aan>m, only effects. So he is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly like an class="hi2">aan> puppeteer pulling the strings to man class="hi2">aan>ke BOTH the "can class="hi2">aan>uses an class="hi2">aan>nd effects" or "victims an class="hi2">aan>nd victimizers" do everything than class="hi2">aan>t they seem to do, an class="hi2">aan>nd the "story" of how one can class="hi2">aan>uses the other is FICTIONan class="hi2">Aan>L.

In this perspective, can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect an class="hi2">aan>re VERTICan class="hi2">Aan>L. Whan class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan>bove, can class="hi2">aan>uses whan class="hi2">aan>t is below. So this mean class="hi2">aan>ns everything in the world below is only an class="hi2">aan>n effect of the drean class="hi2">aan>mer an class="hi2">aan>bove.

Within the world below, however, there an class="hi2">aan>re illusions of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ny of these illusions man class="hi2">aan>ke it SEEM an class="hi2">aan>s if there an class="hi2">aan>re independent can class="hi2">aan>uses within the drean class="hi2">aan>m. an class="hi2">Aan>n exan class="hi2">aan>mple would be than class="hi2">aan>t the wind blows an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>kes the lean class="hi2">aan>ves on the tree move. Or an class="hi2">aan> person kicks an class="hi2">aan> ban class="hi2">aan>ll.

The wind DOES NOT blow the tree - the wind an class="hi2">Aan>ND the tree moving an class="hi2">aan>re BOTH drean class="hi2">aan>med SIMULTan class="hi2">Aan>NEOUSLY by the higher level mind. The person does NOT kick the ban class="hi2">aan>ll, the person kicking an class="hi2">aan>nd the ban class="hi2">aan>ll moving an class="hi2">aan>re BOTH drean class="hi2">aan>med simultan class="hi2">aan>neously by an class="hi2">aan> single mind, to crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>n ILLUSION of can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect when viewed in "linean class="hi2">aan>r time".

In this perspective, can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect an class="hi2">aan>re HORIZONTan class="hi2">Aan>L. Or in other words, there is an class="hi2">aan>n ILLUSION than class="hi2">aan>t something in the drean class="hi2">aan>m is an class="hi2">aan>ble to "can class="hi2">aan>use" something else in the drean class="hi2">aan>m to be an class="hi2">aan>n effect. In essence, this turns the "effect" of drean class="hi2">aan>ming into an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use in its own right. So then we believe than class="hi2">aan>t this world contan class="hi2">aan>ins "can class="hi2">aan>uses" which produce "effects". In the horizontan class="hi2">aan>l, can class="hi2">aan>uses an class="hi2">aan>re VICTIMIZERS, an class="hi2">aan>nd effects an class="hi2">aan>re VICTIMS. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it is possible for victimizers to be an class="hi2">aan>ffected an class="hi2">aan>s can class="hi2">aan>uses tran class="hi2">aan>nsform into effects an class="hi2">aan>nd ban class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in, becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll the san class="hi2">aan>me ILLUSION.

Someone kicks you in the leg an class="hi2">aan>nd you develop an class="hi2">aan> bruise. If you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> body, this puts you an class="hi2">Aan>T THE EFFECT of the world, man class="hi2">aan>king you an class="hi2">aan>n instan class="hi2">aan>nt VICTIM. Being born "by" the world into an class="hi2">aan> body is an class="hi2">aan>n ILLUSION which man class="hi2">aan>kes you an class="hi2">aan>n instan class="hi2">aan>nt victim, but in truth you an class="hi2">aan>re NOT an class="hi2">aan>t the effect of the world, an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re NOT "crean class="hi2">aan>ted by" your pan class="hi2">aan>rent's bodies.

This horizontan class="hi2">aan>l perception of can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect is ENTIRELY illusory, becan class="hi2">aan>use even the things which seem to "can class="hi2">aan>use" other things, an class="hi2">aan>nd the "effects" of those can class="hi2">aan>uses, an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly BOTH EFFECTS of the higher level mind which is the only can class="hi2">aan>use of them. The higher level mind, in its vertican class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity, man class="hi2">aan>nifests both the person kicking the leg, an class="hi2">aan>nd the bruise on the leg, simultan class="hi2">aan>neously, man class="hi2">aan>king it SEEM an class="hi2">aan>s though there wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> horizontan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>use of the bruise.

In the horizontan class="hi2">aan>l perception, we come to believe there an class="hi2">aan>re thus illusory "lan class="hi2">aan>ws" which SEEM to describe whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re seeing han class="hi2">aan>ppen from within this level, without being an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kened to the true nan class="hi2">aan>ture of can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect. It SEEMS to us than class="hi2">aan>t every an class="hi2">aan>ction (can class="hi2">aan>use) han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n equan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd opposite rean class="hi2">aan>ction (effect). The lan class="hi2">aan>ws of physics an class="hi2">aan>re ban class="hi2">aan>sed on this. Science han class="hi2">aan>s gone to grean class="hi2">aan>t lengths to describe the an class="hi2">Aan>PPan class="hi2">Aan>RENT wan class="hi2">aan>y in which stuff han class="hi2">aan>ppens an class="hi2">aan>t the level of being inside the drean class="hi2">aan>m, unan class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of the higher level.

an class="hi2">Aan>ll of these ego lan class="hi2">aan>ws, horiziontan class="hi2">aan>l lan class="hi2">aan>ws, an class="hi2">aan>re SHOWN to be completely fan class="hi2">aan>lse an class="hi2">aan>nd illusory, when the higher level decides to DEMONSTRan class="hi2">Aan>TE than class="hi2">aan>t IT is the can class="hi2">aan>use of everything. It is therefore possible for the higher level to decide to project an class="hi2">aan> different iman class="hi2">aan>ge or drean class="hi2">aan>m, below, which is unlike the condition it wan class="hi2">aan>s in previously, WITHOUT OBEYING an class="hi2">aan>ny of the lower level illusory lan class="hi2">aan>ws. Becan class="hi2">aan>use the higher level "overrides" the lower level, an class="hi2">aan>ny illusions of how things an class="hi2">aan>re supposed to han class="hi2">aan>ppen, or whan class="hi2">aan>t is supposed to be possible, an class="hi2">aan>re completely ignored.

The higher level is the level of love. But it is not just love an class="hi2">aan>s we think of love "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from" other quan class="hi2">aan>lities. It is an class="hi2">aan>lso joy, pean class="hi2">aan>ce, life etc. In pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>r, it is an class="hi2">Aan>LIVE. God's love is an class="hi2">aan> LIVING PRESENCE, which contan class="hi2">aan>ins within it life-giving, eternan class="hi2">aan>l-life giving quan class="hi2">aan>lities. It is an class="hi2">aan>ble to extend life forever. It is an class="hi2">aan>ble to express SO MUCH "livingness", than class="hi2">aan>t it is perman class="hi2">aan>nently in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of incorruptible "hean class="hi2">aan>lth", it is an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely impossible for it to become sick or die, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is therefore an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of immortan class="hi2">aan>lity.

The life-giving quan class="hi2">aan>lity of God's love, nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>lly EXPRESSES an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll times. God is therefore an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS giving life an class="hi2">aan>nd continuing life. God's love is so life-giving an class="hi2">aan>nd restoran class="hi2">aan>tive an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely refuses to include an class="hi2">aan>ny form of dean class="hi2">aan>th or problem, than class="hi2">aan>t if an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of illusion of sickness or dean class="hi2">aan>th were "exposed" to it, it would be so INFUSED with life, than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll signs of decan class="hi2">aan>y or sickness or dean class="hi2">aan>th will be completely reversed. Hean class="hi2">aan>lth (light) will totan class="hi2">aan>lly obliteran class="hi2">aan>te suffering (dan class="hi2">aan>rkness), shining it an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y perman class="hi2">aan>nently.

This life-giving quan class="hi2">aan>lity of God, is whan class="hi2">aan>t we refer to an class="hi2">aan>s MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CULOUS. It literan class="hi2">aan>lly is 100% unlimited in whan class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>n do, an class="hi2">aan>nd there is an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely nothing than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n deter it or prevent it from hean class="hi2">aan>ling, ie being in an class="hi2">aan> perman class="hi2">aan>nent stan class="hi2">aan>te of perfection. God is PERMan class="hi2">Aan>NENTLY MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CULOUS. Perman class="hi2">aan>nently life-giving. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so is His Son. It is completely Nan class="hi2">Aan>TURan class="hi2">Aan>L for God an class="hi2">aan>nd His Son to be perman class="hi2">aan>nently miran class="hi2">aan>culous. If they were to seem to be not miran class="hi2">aan>culous, something must han class="hi2">aan>ve gone wrong! Miran class="hi2">aan>culousness does not ever stop. It is an class="hi2">aan>n eternan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>spect of God's crean class="hi2">aan>tive power.

With this in mind, when we "descend" into the dan class="hi2">aan>rkness, going down to the lower "level", into the ego world, hell, we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to put distan class="hi2">aan>nce between ourselves an class="hi2">aan>nd God. The further we become distan class="hi2">aan>nt from God, an class="hi2">aan>s though descending further downwan class="hi2">aan>rds towan class="hi2">aan>rds dean class="hi2">aan>th (eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly to be buried in the ground), the more we will be blocked from the life-giving properties of God's loving expression. This will result in an class="hi2">aan> mind which believes sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>lity, an class="hi2">aan>nd it will project an class="hi2">aan> body which is sick an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>ter dean class="hi2">aan>d.

Dean class="hi2">aan>th, in the ego's world, is the finan class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>tement than class="hi2">aan>t God's life han class="hi2">aan>s ended, or than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re so distan class="hi2">aan>nt from God's Will to Live, than class="hi2">aan>t "our" will to live is no longer an class="hi2">aan> will to live, but an class="hi2">aan> will to cean class="hi2">aan>se living, ie to die. This mean class="hi2">aan>ns we believe we an class="hi2">aan>re becoming *completely* sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from God. Dean class="hi2">aan>th of the body an class="hi2">aan>nd mind is the ego's finan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to completely escan class="hi2">aan>pe the rean class="hi2">aan>lm where God's light shines. Only complete "non-existence" can class="hi2">aan>n seem to fulfill the ego's wish to be sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from where God is.

In the dan class="hi2">aan>rk, our mind is believing in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd is therefore sick. We han class="hi2">aan>ve blocks to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, so do not see the light very well. This can class="hi2">aan>uses us to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck ourselves an class="hi2">aan>nd our body will show this. Forms of sickness will an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r, an class="hi2">aan>nd eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly the body will die becan class="hi2">aan>use we han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked it. In order to UNDO this an class="hi2">aan>nd reverse it, even to reverse whan class="hi2">aan>t shows up an class="hi2">aan>s physican class="hi2">aan>l dean class="hi2">aan>th, we need an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle. We need some of the miran class="hi2">aan>culous life-giving ran class="hi2">aan>dian class="hi2">aan>nce of God's love.

Exposure to such ran class="hi2">aan>dian class="hi2">aan>nce will RESURRECT us ban class="hi2">aan>ck to life, first an class="hi2">aan> restoran class="hi2">aan>tion of hean class="hi2">aan>lth an class="hi2">aan>nd life in the mind an class="hi2">aan>nd body, an class="hi2">aan>nd then lan class="hi2">aan>ter the completion of the resurrection in which the body disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs, becan class="hi2">aan>use the mind han class="hi2">aan>s become SO pure than class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>n no longer be bound by an class="hi2">aan> body iman class="hi2">aan>ge. There an class="hi2">aan>re degrees of dan class="hi2">aan>rkness an class="hi2">aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use the body is an class="hi2">aan>n outwan class="hi2">aan>rd picture of an class="hi2">aan>n inner condition an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll times, if the mind resurrects, the body will an class="hi2">aan>lso. an class="hi2">Aan>ny "symptoms" (fan class="hi2">aan>ke effects) from the illusion of horizontan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity, will be UNDONE by the shift to vertican class="hi2">aan>l perception (true can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity - mind over man class="hi2">aan>tter).

an class="hi2">Aan> "miran class="hi2">aan>cle" an class="hi2">aan>s we tend to think of it, seems to be an class="hi2">aan> step towan class="hi2">aan>rds God. Or an class="hi2">aan>s some people can class="hi2">aan>ll it, an class="hi2">aan> "shift in perception" from dean class="hi2">aan>th to life. However, we need to be clean class="hi2">aan>r than class="hi2">aan>t God is perman class="hi2">aan>nently miran class="hi2">aan>culous an class="hi2">aan>nd so is His Son. The miran class="hi2">aan>culous life-giving property of God never stops. The an class="hi2">aan>bility to do an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely an class="hi2">aan>nything never comes to an class="hi2">aan>n end. The crean class="hi2">aan>tive power of the mind never cean class="hi2">aan>ses. an class="hi2">Aan>nd God is an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS being loving. an class="hi2">Aan>nything than class="hi2">aan>t comes from love an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n expression of love, IS MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CULOUS. This mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t God is an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CULOUS.

an class="hi2">Aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle then, Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT BE defined an class="hi2">aan>s the shift from dean class="hi2">aan>th to life itself. The miran class="hi2">aan>cle is the LOVE which EXPRESSES in order to PRODUCE an class="hi2">aan> shift from dean class="hi2">aan>th to life. The shift is an class="hi2">aan>n EFFECT. The shift tan class="hi2">aan>kes plan class="hi2">aan>ce entirely in the rean class="hi2">aan>lm of the ego's world, the lower level, the level of EFFECT, becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is an class="hi2">aan>n expression from the higher level of love, shining down onto whan class="hi2">aan>t is below, an class="hi2">aan>nd lifting it upwan class="hi2">aan>rds towan class="hi2">aan>rds God.

an class="hi2">Aan> helpful an class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>logy, is when Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys bean class="hi2">aan>utifully:

"Miran class="hi2">aan>cles fan class="hi2">aan>ll like drops of hean class="hi2">aan>ling ran class="hi2">aan>in from Hean class="hi2">aan>ven on an class="hi2">aan> dry an class="hi2">aan>nd dusty world, where stan class="hi2">aan>rved an class="hi2">aan>nd thirsty crean class="hi2">aan>tures come to die. Now they han class="hi2">aan>ve wan class="hi2">aan>ter. Now the world is green. an class="hi2">Aan>nd everywhere the signs of life spring up, to show than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t is born can class="hi2">aan>n never die, for whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s life han class="hi2">aan>s immortan class="hi2">aan>lity."

Whan class="hi2">aan>t this is san class="hi2">aan>ying is, miran class="hi2">aan>culous hean class="hi2">aan>ling love shines "down from an class="hi2">aan>bove" onto the illusory world below where stuff seemed dean class="hi2">aan>d, giving it life, pulling it closer to itself, an class="hi2">aan>nd "life" erupts to show SIGNS (symbols) of the immortan class="hi2">aan>lity than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s been extended from love. Love expresses, the dean class="hi2">aan>d come ban class="hi2">aan>ck to life, even forms an class="hi2">aan>nd bodies an class="hi2">aan>nd objects come ban class="hi2">aan>ck towan class="hi2">aan>rds life. an class="hi2">Aan>s fan class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>s forms of life can class="hi2">aan>n, being limited an class="hi2">aan>s symbols in an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m.

Corresponding to this then, rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles come down from hean class="hi2">aan>ven, from the higher level, FROM LOVE, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n expression of Love, an class="hi2">aan>nd BLESS whan class="hi2">aan>t is below (the dusty dean class="hi2">aan>d world), bestowing upon it the MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CULOUS ran class="hi2">aan>dian class="hi2">aan>nce of love's life-giving properties, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore "bringing life" to whan class="hi2">aan>t is there, RESTORING to being "more an class="hi2">aan>live".

Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys in his an class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>logy than class="hi2">aan>t the signs of life now spring up. Simply, whan class="hi2">aan>t once wan class="hi2">aan>s seemingly dean class="hi2">aan>d or even pan class="hi2">aan>rtly dean class="hi2">aan>d, han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>d some mean class="hi2">aan>sure of its "dean class="hi2">aan>d-ness" lifted an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y, than class="hi2">aan>t thing han class="hi2">aan>s been Ran class="hi2">Aan>ISED upwan class="hi2">aan>rds, vertican class="hi2">aan>lly, towan class="hi2">aan>rds God, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore is now in closer proximity to the life-giving power of God's love, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore COMES Ban class="hi2">Aan>CK TO LIFE. This even mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t ROan class="hi2">Aan>DKILL can class="hi2">aan>n be brought ban class="hi2">aan>ck to life, an class="hi2">aan>ll "effects" of wan class="hi2">aan>r can class="hi2">aan>n be undone, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll dean class="hi2">aan>th reversed. The body can class="hi2">aan>n even be man class="hi2">aan>de immortan class="hi2">aan>l, incan class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th, becan class="hi2">aan>use it is SO infused with the life-giving power of love. an class="hi2">Aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle indeed.

Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lso referred to an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> shift in perception - FROM HORIZONTan class="hi2">Aan>L TO VERTICan class="hi2">Aan>L PERCEPTION. an class="hi2">Aan>s I described, when the mind chan class="hi2">aan>nges how it sees things, an class="hi2">aan>nd no longer sees things entirely in an class="hi2">aan> "horizontan class="hi2">aan>l" wan class="hi2">aan>y in terms of can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect, is no longer believing than class="hi2">aan>t one thing in the drean class="hi2">aan>m can class="hi2">aan>used an class="hi2">aan>nother thing, it shifts its VIEWPOINT by moving an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness VERTICan class="hi2">Aan>LLY up towan class="hi2">aan>rds God.

Vertican class="hi2">aan>l perception is the an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness than class="hi2">aan>t the higher level (love) is the ONLY Can class="hi2">Aan>USE, an class="hi2">aan>nd everything "below" than class="hi2">aan>t seems to be in the world - bodies an class="hi2">aan>nd such, is ONLY EFFECT. This so-can class="hi2">aan>lled shift into an class="hi2">aan>lignment with how God operan class="hi2">aan>tes, is an class="hi2">aan> shift into the recognition than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>use is inside you not outside you, or to put it an class="hi2">aan>nother wan class="hi2">aan>y, can class="hi2">aan>use is an class="hi2">aan>bove, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll effects an class="hi2">aan>re below.

The "shifting" itself IS NOT the miran class="hi2">aan>cle an class="hi2">aan>s such. The shifting itself, the tran class="hi2">aan>nsition from dan class="hi2">aan>rkness to light, is not rean class="hi2">aan>lly whan class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>uses hean class="hi2">aan>ling. Whan class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>uses hean class="hi2">aan>ling is God's LOVE expressing FROM an class="hi2">aan>bove, shining down onto whan class="hi2">aan>t is below, can class="hi2">aan>using whan class="hi2">aan>t is below to be pan class="hi2">aan>rtly dissolved, such than class="hi2">aan>t the mind seems to shift upwan class="hi2">aan>rd.

This han class="hi2">aan>s to be true, becan class="hi2">aan>use if the miran class="hi2">aan>cle itself - the miran class="hi2">aan>culousness of love - were ONLY the shifting from horizontan class="hi2">aan>l to vertican class="hi2">aan>l, then once the "shifting" itself han class="hi2">aan>d been completed, the miran class="hi2">aan>cle would be ENDED, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns, love would stop being miran class="hi2">aan>culous. Love is PERMan class="hi2">Aan>NENTLY MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CULOUS. It can class="hi2">aan>nnot stop being miran class="hi2">aan>culous.

Whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens is, once an class="hi2">aan> shift to vertican class="hi2">aan>l han class="hi2">aan>s tan class="hi2">aan>ken plan class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ling han class="hi2">aan>s been RECEIVED FROM an class="hi2">Aan>BOVE, an class="hi2">aan>nd the level of communican class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>s been ran class="hi2">aan>ised (oneness increan class="hi2">aan>sed, sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion decrean class="hi2">aan>sed), there an class="hi2">aan>re simply LESS BLOCKS to the extension of love. More love is an class="hi2">aan>llowed to SHINE from an class="hi2">aan>bove, through the mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd to extend outwan class="hi2">aan>rd.

It extends outwan class="hi2">aan>rd completely nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>lly becan class="hi2">aan>use than class="hi2">aan>t is whan class="hi2">aan>t love does an class="hi2">aan>ll the time. So when you remove your block to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, whether you can class="hi2">aan>ll it an class="hi2">aan> shift or not, you REVEan class="hi2">Aan>L the presence of love in the mind, you open up to the higher level an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>llow it to shine through you, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore love can class="hi2">aan>n now EXTEND THROUGH YOU.

Removing blocks to love, is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ct of removing blocks to the an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RENESS of love's presence, becan class="hi2">aan>use love is an class="hi2">Aan>LREan class="hi2">Aan>DY FULLY PRESENT, being miran class="hi2">aan>culous an class="hi2">aan>ll the time. Correction, shifting, purifican class="hi2">aan>tion, or removan class="hi2">aan>l of blocks, simply UNCOVERS the love which wan class="hi2">aan>s trying to express, an class="hi2">aan>llowing it to express more.

Shifting perception DOES NOT Can class="hi2">Aan>USE an class="hi2">Aan> MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CLE an class="hi2">aan>nd DOES NOT Can class="hi2">Aan>USE LOVE TO EXIST. Love, miran class="hi2">aan>culousness, an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy exists. Than class="hi2">aan>t is the *ego's version of miran class="hi2">aan>cles*, which it thinks IT can class="hi2">aan>uses, becan class="hi2">aan>use IT thinks than class="hi2">aan>t IT han class="hi2">aan>s power over love to man class="hi2">aan>ke hean class="hi2">aan>ling han class="hi2">aan>ppen! The shift is seen by the ego an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use, but it is an class="hi2">aan>n EFFECT from an class="hi2">aan> higher level. an class="hi2">Aan> gift. an class="hi2">Aan> sign than class="hi2">aan>t the mind is WILLING TO RECEIVE LOVE, not an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>bility to 'man class="hi2">aan>ke love han class="hi2">aan>ppen'.

The shift merely puts us closer TO it an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>llows us to EXTEND it, thus RECEIVING hean class="hi2">aan>ling FROM love. "We" do not can class="hi2">aan>use hean class="hi2">aan>ling by shifting perception, LOVE DOES an class="hi2">Aan>LL THE WORK. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this an class="hi2">aan>lso mean class="hi2">aan>ns, than class="hi2">aan>t being open to RECEIVING LOVE from God is importan class="hi2">aan>nt in hean class="hi2">aan>ling, not just doing stuff with your mind on your own. You do not han class="hi2">aan>ve to do everything yourself, God Wan class="hi2">Aan>NTS TO HEan class="hi2">Aan>L YOU FOR YOU.

The INCREan class="hi2">Aan>SE in the expressan class="hi2">aan>bility of than class="hi2">aan>t love through you is whan class="hi2">aan>t HEan class="hi2">Aan>LS YOU. The shift does not hean class="hi2">aan>l, the unblocking does not hean class="hi2">aan>l, LOVE IS THE ONLY HEan class="hi2">Aan>LER. Love is the miran class="hi2">aan>cle.

an class="hi2">Aan>fter an class="hi2">aan> while, when you han class="hi2">aan>ve removed enough blocks to love than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re stan class="hi2">aan>rting to Ran class="hi2">Aan>DIan class="hi2">Aan>TE LOVE on an class="hi2">aan> more constan class="hi2">aan>nt ban class="hi2">aan>sis, or an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st something an class="hi2">aan>pproan class="hi2">aan>ching towan class="hi2">aan>rds love, YOUR MIND is now being restored an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> conduit or medium through which love can class="hi2">aan>n nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>lly extend.

This mean class="hi2">aan>ns you will now be willing an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ble to extend love outwan class="hi2">aan>rd. an class="hi2">Aan>nd since you're still in the body an class="hi2">aan>t the moment, than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns you will be an class="hi2">aan>ble to DO GOD'S WILL ON Ean class="hi2">Aan>RTH an class="hi2">Aan>S IT IS IN HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN, ie you will be an class="hi2">aan>ble to express the LOVE OF GOD, here, which mean class="hi2">aan>ns expressing God's LIFE-GIVING POWER, here, to HEan class="hi2">Aan>L an class="hi2">aan>nd undo an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely an class="hi2">aan>ny sign of "non-life" you encounter.

In other words, you do not simply perform an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle in order to shift your mind towan class="hi2">aan>rds love. You shift your mind towan class="hi2">aan>rds love SO THan class="hi2">Aan>T you can class="hi2">aan>n be miran class="hi2">aan>culous. Otherwise it would mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t someone who is hean class="hi2">aan>vily steeped in ego lies, upon man class="hi2">aan>king their first little shift, is suddenly an class="hi2">aan> full-blown miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker. Than class="hi2">aan>t is pretty much impossible.

"Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re everyone's right, but PURIFICan class="hi2">Aan>TION IS NECESSan class="hi2">Aan>RY FIRST". This mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t your purifican class="hi2">aan>tion efforts will han class="hi2">aan>ve to han class="hi2">aan>ppen first, possibly over an class="hi2">aan> prolonged period of time, BEFORE you will Gan class="hi2">Aan>IN an class="hi2">Aan>CCESS TO the right to perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles. This is becan class="hi2">aan>use you need to remove quite an class="hi2">aan> lot of blocks to love BEFORE love can class="hi2">aan>n flow through you fully enough to show up an class="hi2">aan>s miran class="hi2">aan>cles in your life or on behan class="hi2">aan>lf of others. If you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> lot of blocks to love, you an class="hi2">aan>re GETTING IN THE Wan class="hi2">Aan>Y of the extension of love an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore an class="hi2">aan>re blocking miran class="hi2">aan>cles.

You an class="hi2">aan>re not miran class="hi2">aan>culous just becan class="hi2">aan>use you stan class="hi2">aan>rt studying the course or doing the workbook, or "shifting your perception". Miran class="hi2">aan>cles come Lan class="hi2">Aan>TER, an class="hi2">aan>fter much purifican class="hi2">aan>tion work ie correction of your mind, letting go of ego, an class="hi2">aan>pplying forgiveness etc. Shifts in perception an class="hi2">aan>re not miran class="hi2">aan>cles, but eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly they LEan class="hi2">Aan>D TO miran class="hi2">aan>cles. If you could suddenly shift your perception very much to an class="hi2">aan> highly vertican class="hi2">aan>l perception, you could conceivan class="hi2">aan>bly perform an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle right now. But it is uncommon. Usuan class="hi2">aan>lly we han class="hi2">aan>ve to "prepan class="hi2">aan>re" to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to do than class="hi2">aan>t.

You will OPEN UP TO miran class="hi2">aan>cles over time, the more you relean class="hi2">aan>se blocks to love, becan class="hi2">aan>use you will be plan class="hi2">aan>cing yourself closer to God an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore regan class="hi2">aan>ining an class="hi2">aan>ccess to love, an class="hi2">aan> willingness to extend it, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore miran class="hi2">aan>cles can class="hi2">aan>n work through you from God. You can class="hi2">aan>n then perform God's WILL, but you an class="hi2">aan>re not going to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to perform God's will an class="hi2">aan>fter an class="hi2">aan> few perceptuan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>djustments.

However, an class="hi2">aan>t some point, you WILL get to the point where you an class="hi2">aan>re spending much more of your time IN vertican class="hi2">aan>l perception, not believing in the horizontan class="hi2">aan>l ILLUSION of can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity, an class="hi2">aan>nd will become much more miran class="hi2">aan>culous. When miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re not han class="hi2">aan>ppening an class="hi2">Aan>LL THE TIME, something han class="hi2">aan>s gone wrong. This mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> PERMan class="hi2">Aan>NENT Pan class="hi2">Aan>RT of the Nan class="hi2">Aan>TURE of the Son of God. an class="hi2">Aan>nd of God. It is an class="hi2">aan> nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l pan class="hi2">aan>rt of love an class="hi2">aan>nd life. When we an class="hi2">aan>re not being constan class="hi2">aan>ntly miran class="hi2">aan>culous, constan class="hi2">aan>ntly loving, we an class="hi2">aan>re not performing miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>ll the time, so something is wrong.

When we do become more consistently an class="hi2">aan>ligned with God's Will, the Power of God will now extend through us. We will now be an class="hi2">Aan>BLE to EXPRESS LOVE. an class="hi2">Aan>nd since we're still in this world, this mean class="hi2">aan>ns, we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ble to render the Man class="hi2">Aan>XIMan class="hi2">Aan>L SERVICE to our brothers, which is whan class="hi2">aan>t every miran class="hi2">aan>cle does. an class="hi2">Aan>t this point, "miran class="hi2">aan>cle working" does NOT simply entan class="hi2">aan>il shifting someone's perception towan class="hi2">aan>rds truth. It entan class="hi2">aan>ils utilizing the vertican class="hi2">aan>l perception of the higher level (God/Love/Life) to OVERRIDE an class="hi2">aan>ny an class="hi2">aan>nd every illusory "effect", or "can class="hi2">aan>use" in this world.

This mean class="hi2">aan>ns your holiness is very powerful an class="hi2">aan>nd there is literan class="hi2">aan>lly nothing than class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>nnot do in the world. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles expressing from the higher level, love, do not see orders of difficulty becan class="hi2">aan>use they do not believe the lower-level illusion of can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect. They overthrow an class="hi2">Aan>LL physican class="hi2">aan>l lan class="hi2">aan>ws becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>ll lan class="hi2">aan>ws on the horizontan class="hi2">aan>l level an class="hi2">aan>re FICTION. Whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to be an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use in the world is NOT an class="hi2">Aan> Can class="hi2">Aan>USE. an class="hi2">Aan>ny stan class="hi2">aan>te or condition or sickness or form of suffering or even physican class="hi2">aan>l dean class="hi2">aan>th, Can class="hi2">Aan>N BE REVERSED.

Why would you do this? Well, you're going be expressing an class="hi2">aan> LOT OF LOVE. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it is Nan class="hi2">Aan>TURan class="hi2">Aan>L for love to be miran class="hi2">aan>culous. It is Nan class="hi2">Aan>TURan class="hi2">Aan>L for love to wan class="hi2">aan>nt to HEan class="hi2">Aan>L, to reverse suffering, to undo ego pan class="hi2">aan>in, to hean class="hi2">aan>l the SEPan class="hi2">Aan>Ran class="hi2">Aan>TION, an class="hi2">aan>nd so if sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion is showing up an class="hi2">aan>s physican class="hi2">aan>l sickness or broken bodies, LOVE Wan class="hi2">Aan>NTS TO HEan class="hi2">Aan>L IT. It is not God's will than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>NYONE suffer or die. It is God's Will than class="hi2">aan>t EVERYONE experience perfect hean class="hi2">aan>lth an class="hi2">aan>nd resurrection an class="hi2">aan>nd perman class="hi2">aan>nent han class="hi2">aan>ppiness.

Why express miran class="hi2">aan>cles in an class="hi2">aan> world which isn't rean class="hi2">aan>l? First of an class="hi2">aan>ll, than class="hi2">aan>t's level confusion. Second of an class="hi2">aan>ll, it's becan class="hi2">aan>use this is whan class="hi2">aan>t LOVE Wan class="hi2">Aan>NTS TO DO. Love wan class="hi2">aan>nts to HEan class="hi2">Aan>L THE WORLD to resurrect everything to an class="hi2">aan> reflection of perfect hean class="hi2">aan>lth an class="hi2">aan>nd incorruptan class="hi2">aan>bility, an class="hi2">aan>nd to then bring everyone home an class="hi2">aan>cross the tiny gan class="hi2">aan>p between than class="hi2">aan>t "rean class="hi2">aan>l world" an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ven. The world NEEDS miran class="hi2">aan>cles of hean class="hi2">aan>ling from love. an class="hi2">Aan>nd third of an class="hi2">aan>ll, it is our FUNCTION in this world to HEan class="hi2">Aan>L, an class="hi2">aan> function which we shan class="hi2">aan>re with the holy spirit, an class="hi2">aan>nd while we an class="hi2">aan>re here, it is our nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l RIGHT an class="hi2">aan>nd PURPOSE to hean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll times.

A miracle is not a shift in perception

Whan class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle? Why would an class="hi2">aan>nyone wan class="hi2">aan>nt to hean class="hi2">aan>l the sick?

Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>rise from an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind which is truly forgiving, which doesn't mean class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> mind which "needs to forgive" but an class="hi2">aan> mind which recognizes there is nothing to forgive. Such an class="hi2">aan> mind recognizes than class="hi2">aan>t God's truth is true, than class="hi2">aan>t illusions an class="hi2">aan>re illusions, an class="hi2">aan>nd is not deceived by an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces of form.

It is only possible to perform an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle if you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ble to get your mind out of the ego's thought system an class="hi2">aan>nd into the Holy Spirit's thought system. The miran class="hi2">aan>cle itself Man class="hi2">Aan>Y shift perception if the person needs forgiveness still, but the shifting of the perception is not the miran class="hi2">aan>cle itself an class="hi2">aan>s such. The shifting of perception to Holy Spirit's thought system is whan class="hi2">aan>t is REQUIRED IN ORDER TO become an class="hi2">aan>ble to perform an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle.

If you an class="hi2">aan>re shifting perception, i.e. correcting errors in your perception, then you an class="hi2">aan>re still in an class="hi2">aan> process of PURIFICan class="hi2">Aan>TION. an class="hi2">Aan>s Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys in the miran class="hi2">aan>cle principles, miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re everyone's right but "purifican class="hi2">aan>tion is necessan class="hi2">aan>ry first". Whan class="hi2">aan>t is this purifican class="hi2">aan>tion? It is the PROCESS of whan class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>ll forgiveness, which is the weeding out of whan class="hi2">aan>t is fan class="hi2">aan>lse from whan class="hi2">aan>t is true, otherwise known an class="hi2">aan>s the correction of perception, or shifts in perception. Than class="hi2">aan>t is required FIRST before you can class="hi2">aan>n become miran class="hi2">aan>cle minded. When an class="hi2">aan> person first begins the Course an class="hi2">aan>nd does their first han class="hi2">aan>lf-ban class="hi2">aan>ked error-prone forgiveness process, experiencing an class="hi2">aan> slight shift in perception, is than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle? No.

Jesus an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n exan class="hi2">aan>mple, Jesus wan class="hi2">aan>s in an class="hi2">aan> very an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>nced stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind when he performed miran class="hi2">aan>cles. He did not perform these miran class="hi2">aan>cles IN ORDER TO shift his perception an class="hi2">aan>nd to wan class="hi2">aan>ke up. He han class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy purified His mind an class="hi2">aan>nd His mind wan class="hi2">aan>s now in an class="hi2">aan>lignment with Holy Spirit, clean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t is true an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>lse, an class="hi2">aan>nd not deceived by the illusions of sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th. He han class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy shifted his perception to correct true vision BEFORE becoming an class="hi2">aan>ble to perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles. an class="hi2">Aan>ccessing the mind of Holy Spirit fan class="hi2">aan>cilitan class="hi2">aan>tes the miran class="hi2">aan>cle, becan class="hi2">aan>use the Holy Spirit is the mechan class="hi2">aan>nism of miran class="hi2">aan>cles.

He wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy there. He performed miran class="hi2">aan>cles BECan class="hi2">Aan>USE he han class="hi2">aan>d shifted his perception an class="hi2">aan>nd woken up. an class="hi2">Aan>s the principles san class="hi2">aan>y, miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge the Christ in you. You can class="hi2">aan>n't truly an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge Christ when you an class="hi2">aan>re still sleeping an class="hi2">aan>nd in need of forgiveness, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> "shift in perception" an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> stepping stone an class="hi2">aan>long than class="hi2">aan>t journey of purifican class="hi2">aan>tion is not going to necessan class="hi2">aan>rily be enough to bring an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle. It can class="hi2">aan>n bring an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan> correction, or an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>djustment of perception, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rtian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening, but this is in PREPan class="hi2">Aan>Ran class="hi2">Aan>TION for being miran class="hi2">aan>culous. If this were not the can class="hi2">aan>se, new students to the Course would be ran class="hi2">aan>ising the dean class="hi2">aan>d on dan class="hi2">aan>y 1.

Jesus performed miran class="hi2">aan>cles to hean class="hi2">aan>l the sick an class="hi2">aan>nd ran class="hi2">aan>ise the dean class="hi2">aan>d, an class="hi2">aan>mong other things (multiplying food, wan class="hi2">aan>lking on wan class="hi2">aan>ter an class="hi2">aan>nd so on), in spite of the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t He knew than class="hi2">aan>t the world wan class="hi2">aan>s not rean class="hi2">aan>l. He wan class="hi2">aan>s very clean class="hi2">aan>r than class="hi2">aan>t the body is not rean class="hi2">aan>l, than class="hi2">aan>t sickness is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t God's truth wan class="hi2">aan>s the only truth he depended on. He wan class="hi2">aan>s not deceived by forms an class="hi2">aan>nd He knew the miran class="hi2">aan>cle principle than class="hi2">aan>t there is no order of difficulty in miran class="hi2">aan>cles - becan class="hi2">aan>use miran class="hi2">aan>cles recognize than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll illusions an class="hi2">aan>re equan class="hi2">aan>lly unrean class="hi2">aan>l. He wan class="hi2">aan>s not deceived by the ego's illusions than class="hi2">aan>t one thing is han class="hi2">aan>rder than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nother.

It wan class="hi2">aan>s BECan class="hi2">Aan>USE Jesus knew illusions were just illusions, than class="hi2">aan>t He wan class="hi2">aan>s miran class="hi2">aan>culous. Being miran class="hi2">aan>culous requires than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re clean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t is true an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>lse - than class="hi2">aan>t God's truth is true an class="hi2">aan>nd the ego's truth (illusions) an class="hi2">aan>re not rean class="hi2">aan>lity. It is than class="hi2">aan>t certan class="hi2">aan>inty an class="hi2">aan>nd clan class="hi2">aan>rity an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>nity which an class="hi2">aan>llows the miran class="hi2">aan>cle to han class="hi2">aan>ppen an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. The miran class="hi2">aan>cle overlooks form completely (which is complete forgiveness). It denies the illusion an class="hi2">aan>ny power to prevent hean class="hi2">aan>ling, an class="hi2">aan>nd thereby is can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of defying an class="hi2">aan>ll rules an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>ws than class="hi2">aan>t the illusion would exhibit, such an class="hi2">aan>s the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of physics, biology, chemistry etc.

Jesus's an class="hi2">aan>bility to overlook form an class="hi2">aan>nd to recognize the truth clean class="hi2">aan>rly, an class="hi2">aan>llowed Him to be miran class="hi2">aan>culous. When He performed an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle, He wan class="hi2">aan>s not necessan class="hi2">aan>rily in need of han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> "shift of perception". If there an class="hi2">aan>re only so man class="hi2">aan>ny shifts in perception than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ve before you an class="hi2">aan>re fully an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ke, you would run out of miran class="hi2">aan>cles! an class="hi2">Aan>nd yet miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l, they an class="hi2">aan>re supposed to be han class="hi2">aan>ppening an class="hi2">Aan>LL THE TIME, otherwise something han class="hi2">aan>s gone wrong. They han class="hi2">aan>ppen an class="hi2">aan>ll the time when there an class="hi2">aan>re no illusions in the wan class="hi2">aan>y to block them, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t they only han class="hi2">aan>ppen an class="hi2">aan>s removan class="hi2">aan>ls of those blocks.

Yes they might remove blocks to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, but they come from an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce of love, from an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce of NO BLOCKan class="hi2">Aan>GE, where love is unlimited an class="hi2">aan>nd miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re completely norman class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ll the time. Jesus would've run out of blocks to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan> long time before being an class="hi2">aan>ble to perform the countless miran class="hi2">aan>cles than class="hi2">aan>t He did, if miran class="hi2">aan>cles were only shifts in perception. His perception han class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy shifted TO the miran class="hi2">aan>cle minded right mind of the Holy Spirit, an class="hi2">aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use of than class="hi2">aan>t He han class="hi2">aan>d UNLIMITED miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>t His disposan class="hi2">aan>l.

You might find it odd then than class="hi2">aan>t Jesus performed powerful miran class="hi2">aan>cles regulan class="hi2">aan>rly, in spite of the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t in order to perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles you han class="hi2">aan>ve to recognize the world is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion. Why would He an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to hean class="hi2">aan>l sick bodies if He knew sickness wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n illusion? Why would He bother ran class="hi2">aan>ising the dean class="hi2">aan>d - literan class="hi2">aan>lly bodies which were dean class="hi2">aan>d - if He knew than class="hi2">aan>t the world wan class="hi2">aan>s just an class="hi2">aan>n illusion? Why bother to help illusory bodies in an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m?

Some people use this an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n explan class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>tion for why hean class="hi2">aan>ling the sick is not importan class="hi2">aan>nt or something Jesus would do. Yet Jesus did it. Whan class="hi2">aan>t they don't understan class="hi2">aan>nd is the pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>doxican class="hi2">aan>l nan class="hi2">aan>ture of this. Similan class="hi2">aan>rly there is an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>dox whereby when you an class="hi2">aan>re forgiving, truly forgiving, there is nothing to forgive. You fore-give in order to prevent perceptuan class="hi2">aan>l errors, so than class="hi2">aan>t there is nothing to forgive. Forgiveness is an class="hi2">aan> constan class="hi2">aan>nt stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind - an class="hi2">aan> forgiving an class="hi2">aan>ttitude - not an class="hi2">aan> process of purifican class="hi2">aan>tion. It's the perman class="hi2">aan>nent stan class="hi2">aan>te of Holy Spirit's mind.

So the ego would logican class="hi2">aan>lly deduce than class="hi2">aan>t there is no point ran class="hi2">aan>ising the dean class="hi2">aan>d or hean class="hi2">aan>ling the sick becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re illusions, an class="hi2">aan>nd Jesus wan class="hi2">aan>s very very an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re than class="hi2">aan>t they were illusions. BUT the truth defies the ego's logic. The truth bypan class="hi2">aan>sses it. In the truth, miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re extensions of love which an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> service to OTHERS.

Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>djust span class="hi2">aan>cetime in order to fan class="hi2">aan>cilitan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan> grean class="hi2">aan>ter closeness to God an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>n experience of love, an class="hi2">aan>s well an class="hi2">aan>s being tean class="hi2">aan>ching devices than class="hi2">aan>t help others to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken. They correct illusions, not just illusions in the mind but illusions an class="hi2">Aan>S the world. Bodies an class="hi2">aan>re illusions just an class="hi2">aan>s much an class="hi2">aan>s thoughts an class="hi2">aan>nd perceptions, since the body is IN the mind. They an class="hi2">aan>re just an class="hi2">aan>s correctan class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>s fan class="hi2">aan>ulty vision. Why would you correct only illusions in the mind an class="hi2">aan>nd not recognize the body an class="hi2">aan>nd the world an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lso in the mind, thus an class="hi2">aan>voiding their correction? This is becan class="hi2">aan>use most body-identified human class="hi2">aan>ns do not rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t the entire body an class="hi2">aan>nd world is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>n illusion an class="hi2">aan>nd is an class="hi2">aan>lso IN THEIR MIND.

When you become miran class="hi2">aan>cle minded, it is becan class="hi2">aan>use you recognize than class="hi2">aan>t illusions an class="hi2">aan>re just illusions. It is than class="hi2">aan>t recognition than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>LLOWS you to perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles, becan class="hi2">aan>use you can class="hi2">aan>n't wield God's power if you don't believe God is rean class="hi2">aan>l. To believe God is rean class="hi2">aan>l is to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t illusions/world/body/sickness/dean class="hi2">aan>th is NOT rean class="hi2">aan>l. Than class="hi2">aan>t's HOW you man class="hi2">aan>ke these things disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r, through your not fueling them an class="hi2">aan>nd not believing in them.

So when you become miran class="hi2">aan>culous, it is in the recognition than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re not NEEDED an class="hi2">aan>s such, becan class="hi2">aan>use nothing han class="hi2">aan>s gone wrong, everyone is innocent, everyone is immortan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd eternan class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd there isn't even an class="hi2">aan>ny rean class="hi2">aan>l problems to fix. an class="hi2">Aan>ND YET, the miran class="hi2">aan>cle is still present. Jesus still performed them in spite of His an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>nced an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of the unrean class="hi2">aan>lity of the world, an class="hi2">aan>nd BECan class="hi2">Aan>USE of than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness. He didn't just sit on his lan class="hi2">aan>urels like, oh, I know there's nothing to forgive an class="hi2">aan>nd no rean class="hi2">aan>l problems so I'm just going to sit ban class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd let everyone suffer. Than class="hi2">aan>t would've been cold an class="hi2">aan>nd intellectuan class="hi2">aan>l.

Instean class="hi2">aan>d Jesus went out to the people with an class="hi2">aan>n open hean class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>nd mind, knowing sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th han class="hi2">aan>d no power over Him, an class="hi2">aan>nd demonstran class="hi2">aan>ting left right an class="hi2">aan>nd center - tean class="hi2">aan>ching - than class="hi2">aan>t these things were not rean class="hi2">aan>l by exan class="hi2">aan>mple. He wan class="hi2">aan>s helping his brothers. He wan class="hi2">aan>s hean class="hi2">aan>ling people becan class="hi2">aan>use He LOVED them an class="hi2">aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use He han class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan> HEan class="hi2">Aan>RT engan class="hi2">aan>ged with the truth, not just an class="hi2">aan>n intellectuan class="hi2">aan>l understan class="hi2">aan>nding. an class="hi2">Aan>nd He knew than class="hi2">aan>t even though there wan class="hi2">aan>s no "rean class="hi2">aan>l" need for hean class="hi2">aan>ling or miran class="hi2">aan>cles becan class="hi2">aan>use bodies were not rean class="hi2">aan>l, OTHER PEOPLE believed they were rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd were in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of suffering. He wan class="hi2">aan>s being loving by an class="hi2">aan>llevian class="hi2">aan>ting their suffering an class="hi2">aan>nd simultan class="hi2">aan>neously tean class="hi2">aan>ching them through demonstran class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>t the body wan class="hi2">aan>s not rean class="hi2">aan>l. He didn't just tan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y people's suffering, He showed an class="hi2">aan>lso how THEY could tan class="hi2">aan>ke it an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y by man class="hi2">aan>sterfully showing how it wan class="hi2">aan>s done.

So to the ego, miran class="hi2">aan>cles man class="hi2">aan>ke no sense. It man class="hi2">aan>kes no sense to hean class="hi2">aan>l the sick if the body is not rean class="hi2">aan>l. It man class="hi2">aan>kes no sense to ran class="hi2">aan>ise the dean class="hi2">aan>d if people an class="hi2">aan>ren't rean class="hi2">aan>lly bodies an class="hi2">aan>nd they're supposed to be man class="hi2">aan>king the body disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r. But an class="hi2">aan>ll things can class="hi2">aan>n be used an class="hi2">aan>s tean class="hi2">aan>ching devices an class="hi2">aan>nd miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>ximan class="hi2">aan>l service to others. It san class="hi2">aan>ys so in the miran class="hi2">aan>cle principles. Jesus could've ran class="hi2">aan>ised an class="hi2">aan> million people from the dean class="hi2">aan>d if he wan class="hi2">aan>nted to, but an class="hi2">aan>lso He recognized than class="hi2">aan>t people needed to lean class="hi2">aan>rn of this can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>bility themselves an class="hi2">aan>s well an class="hi2">aan>nd so wan class="hi2">aan>s using miran class="hi2">aan>cles to tean class="hi2">aan>ch (demonstran class="hi2">aan>te) whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth is.

This is why miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re not just shifts in perception. They an class="hi2">aan>re not just corrections in your own mind, which is an class="hi2">aan> process of purifican class="hi2">aan>tion. They an class="hi2">aan>re not just forgiveness, which is an class="hi2">aan> process of progressively undoing belief in illusions. an class="hi2">Aan>nd they an class="hi2">aan>re not ineffective or unpowerful. an class="hi2">Aan>nd they an class="hi2">aan>re not reserved only for the "privan class="hi2">aan>te" wan class="hi2">aan>king up of individuan class="hi2">aan>ls.

an class="hi2">Aan>s Jesus tean class="hi2">aan>ches, Love must be extended in order to be REan class="hi2">Aan>L. It is the nan class="hi2">aan>ture of God's Kingdom an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lity than class="hi2">aan>t it han class="hi2">aan>s no PRESENCE unless there is extension han class="hi2">aan>ppening. It han class="hi2">aan>s to ran class="hi2">aan>dian class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd be shan class="hi2">aan>red. Shan class="hi2">aan>ring is the key element, an class="hi2">aan>nd miran class="hi2">aan>cles shan class="hi2">aan>re love with your brother. They unify your mind with theirs an class="hi2">aan>nd correct BOTH of you, if there is an class="hi2">aan>ny correction needed. Jesus didn't need than class="hi2">aan>t correction becan class="hi2">aan>use He wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy done with it. But He still corrected others an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>s TRULY HELPFUL.

The Course stan class="hi2">aan>tes (in its less edited-out versions) than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles ENTan class="hi2">Aan>IL an class="hi2">aan> shift in perception from illusions to truth. This mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t you must shift your perception INTO an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind which recognizes truth in order to perform an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle. It does not mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t the miran class="hi2">aan>cle shifts your perception, or than class="hi2">aan>t the purpose of the miran class="hi2">aan>cle is to shift your perception. You Han class="hi2">Aan>VE TO shift your perception into Holy Spirit's perception so than class="hi2">aan>t you become miran class="hi2">aan>cle minded in order to become miran class="hi2">aan>culous.

He an class="hi2">aan>sks us now to continue His mission an class="hi2">aan>nd help the brotherhood to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken, by shan class="hi2">aan>ring an class="hi2">aan>nd extending an class="hi2">aan>nd expressing love to everyone, to be "an class="hi2">aan>ctive workers" in His plan class="hi2">aan>n, an class="hi2">aan>nd to perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles on an class="hi2">aan> dan class="hi2">aan>ily ban class="hi2">aan>sis. He even san class="hi2">aan>ys in the urtext (lan class="hi2">aan>ter edited out) than class="hi2">aan>t we should be an class="hi2">aan>sking Him every dan class="hi2">aan>y whan class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles to perform. Note an class="hi2">aan>lso than class="hi2">aan>t He instructed His disciples in the wan class="hi2">aan>ys of miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>nd told them to go out an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>l the sick an class="hi2">aan>nd ran class="hi2">aan>ise the dean class="hi2">aan>d, which they did. Why would he tell them to do than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nd why did they do than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nd why were they an class="hi2">aan>ble to do than class="hi2">aan>t? Becan class="hi2">aan>use it wan class="hi2">aan>s LOVING an class="hi2">aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use than class="hi2">aan>t love man class="hi2">aan>de it possible. So why wouldn't they?!

Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>ffirm the truth in you, since you shan class="hi2">aan>re in them, an class="hi2">aan>nd so by performing them for others it reinforces for you the truth of God's rean class="hi2">aan>lity, giving you an class="hi2">aan>dditionan class="hi2">aan>l fan class="hi2">aan>ith an class="hi2">aan>nd conviction an class="hi2">aan>nd clan class="hi2">aan>rity than class="hi2">aan>t the body is not rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n be overcome. Dean class="hi2">aan>th can class="hi2">aan>n be overcome. an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles is not "an class="hi2">aan>rmchan class="hi2">aan>ir spirituan class="hi2">aan>lity" where you just contemplan class="hi2">aan>te it behind closed doors an class="hi2">aan>nd discuss it on Fan class="hi2">aan>cebook.

The world is a projection which hides a secret world

Ok here's something you man class="hi2">aan>y never han class="hi2">aan>ve considered an class="hi2">aan>bout this world. This is an class="hi2">aan>n eye opener!

The world itself, by which I mean class="hi2">aan>n span class="hi2">aan>cetime an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll its contents including Ean class="hi2">aan>rth, is in fan class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan> projection FROM an class="hi2">Aan>ND OF an class="hi2">aan> hidden inner stan class="hi2">aan>te of guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>r. We in fan class="hi2">aan>ct first believed in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">Aan>ND then we projected than class="hi2">aan>t idean class="hi2">aan> OUTWan class="hi2">Aan>RD from our mind, which Man class="hi2">Aan>DE THE WORLD.

The world is therefore ONCE REMOVED from an class="hi2">aan>n inner stan class="hi2">aan>te of guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>r, on which it is ban class="hi2">aan>sed. The world therefore HIDES an class="hi2">aan> deeper lan class="hi2">aan>yer in the mind. We used projection to pretend than class="hi2">aan>t the egoic content IN the mind wan class="hi2">aan>s not in the mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd "extended out" (projected) than class="hi2">aan>t idean class="hi2">aan>, which then an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>red to form an class="hi2">aan>n EXTERNan class="hi2">Aan>L world. This externan class="hi2">aan>l world is an class="hi2">aan> decoy an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> cover-up for the INTERNan class="hi2">Aan>L belief in sin.

"***The world you man class="hi2">aan>de*** is therefore totan class="hi2">aan>lly chan class="hi2">aan>otic, governed by an class="hi2">aan>rbitran class="hi2">aan>ry an class="hi2">aan>nd senseless "lan class="hi2">aan>ws," an class="hi2">aan>nd without mean class="hi2">aan>ning of an class="hi2">Aan>NY kind. For it wan class="hi2">aan>s ***man class="hi2">aan>de out of whan class="hi2">aan>t you do NOT wan class="hi2">aan>nt, projected FROM your mind***, becan class="hi2">aan>use you were an class="hi2">Aan>FRan class="hi2">Aan>ID of it."

"Than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s the first projection of error outwan class="hi2">aan>rd. ***The world an class="hi2">aan>rose to hide it***, an class="hi2">aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>me the screen on which it wan class="hi2">aan>s projected, an class="hi2">aan>nd dran class="hi2">aan>wn between you an class="hi2">aan>nd truth."

"the ***man class="hi2">aan>d projection*** by which this world wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de."

"We an class="hi2">aan>lso han class="hi2">aan>ve observed than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>n can class="hi2">aan>n crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>n empty shell, but can class="hi2">aan>nnot crean class="hi2">aan>te nothing an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. This emptiness provides **the screen** for the misuse of projection."

"Do you REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY think it stran class="hi2">aan>nge than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> world in which EVERYTHING is ban class="hi2">aan>ckwan class="hi2">aan>rd an class="hi2">aan>nd upside down, ***an class="hi2">aan>rose from this***? IT Wan class="hi2">Aan>S INEVITan class="hi2">Aan>BLE."

"**The first drean class="hi2">aan>m** han class="hi2">aan>s been seen an class="hi2">aan>nd understood for merely an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of the fean class="hi2">aan>r ***on which the world wan class="hi2">aan>s ban class="hi2">aan>sed***."

"The drean class="hi2">aan>ming of the world is but an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of your own drean class="hi2">aan>m you gan class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y, an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>w an class="hi2">aan>s if it were its stan class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>nd ending, both. ****Yet wan class="hi2">aan>s it stan class="hi2">aan>rted by your SECRET drean class="hi2">aan>m, which you do NOT perceive, an class="hi2">aan>lthough it Can class="hi2">Aan>USED the pan class="hi2">aan>rt you see an class="hi2">aan>nd do not doubt is rean class="hi2">aan>l.****"

Whan class="hi2">aan>t this mean class="hi2">aan>ns is there rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re two things going on in the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. There's our internan class="hi2">aan>l mentan class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>te of insan class="hi2">aan>nity, sin an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt, which entan class="hi2">aan>ils the IDEan class="hi2">Aan> of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion - the tiny man class="hi2">aan>d idean class="hi2">aan> - an class="hi2">aan>nd then secondly there is an class="hi2">aan> PROJECTION of this idean class="hi2">aan> outwan class="hi2">aan>rd which forms the physican class="hi2">aan>l "universe" of span class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd time an class="hi2">aan>nd bodies etc.

"The body is the IDEan class="hi2">Aan> OF SIN man class="hi2">aan>de flesh an class="hi2">aan>nd PROJECTED OUTWan class="hi2">Aan>RDS."

Jesus goes on to describe this "an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to get rid of" sin, an class="hi2">aan>nd its SOURCE, in terms of the "circle of fean class="hi2">aan>r" which lies BELOW the body level an class="hi2">aan>nd out of sight. This is quite an class="hi2">aan> profound stan class="hi2">aan>tement:

"The circle of fean class="hi2">aan>r lies ***just below the level the body sees***, an class="hi2">aan>nd SEEMS to be ***the whole foundan class="hi2">aan>tion on which the world is ban class="hi2">aan>sed***. Here an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll the illusions, an class="hi2">aan>ll the twisted thoughts, an class="hi2">aan>ll the insan class="hi2">aan>ne an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cks, the fury, vengean class="hi2">aan>nce, an class="hi2">aan>nd betran class="hi2">aan>yan class="hi2">aan>l than class="hi2">aan>t were man class="hi2">aan>de to keep the guilt in plan class="hi2">aan>ce, ***so than class="hi2">aan>t the world could RISE from it***, an class="hi2">aan>nd ***keep IT hidden***. ****Its SHan class="hi2">Aan>DOW rises to the surfan class="hi2">aan>ce**** (the physican class="hi2">aan>l world), enough to hold its most ***externan class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>nifestan class="hi2">aan>tions*** in dan class="hi2">aan>rkness, an class="hi2">aan>nd to bring despan class="hi2">aan>ir an class="hi2">aan>nd loneliness to it, an class="hi2">aan>nd keep it joyless. But its INTENSITY is ***veiled by its hean class="hi2">aan>vy coverings*** (the physican class="hi2">aan>l world hides it), an class="hi2">aan>nd kept an class="hi2">Aan>Pan class="hi2">Aan>RT from whan class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de to keep it hidden."

So below the physican class="hi2">aan>l level, behind an class="hi2">aan>nd prior to the PROJECTION of the world, there is an class="hi2">aan> circle of fean class="hi2">aan>r, an class="hi2">aan>nd of fury an class="hi2">aan>nd vengean class="hi2">aan>nce an class="hi2">aan>nd betran class="hi2">aan>yan class="hi2">aan>l, of sin an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt, which festered in the mind BEFORE the world wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> projection. an class="hi2">Aan>nd then this wan class="hi2">aan>s then projected out to man class="hi2">aan>ke it seem than class="hi2">aan>t this ego shit wan class="hi2">aan>sn't IN the mind but OUTSIDE of the mind - which is the ego's use of projection. This HIDES the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t the ego content is still buried in the mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd puts an class="hi2">aan>ll the focus on "the world of bodies is the world of sin."

"The body can class="hi2">aan>nnot see this, for ***the body an class="hi2">Aan>ROSE from this*** for its protection, which must an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS depend on keeping it NOT seen. The body's eyes will NEVER look on it. Yet they will SEE whan class="hi2">aan>t it dictan class="hi2">aan>tes. The body will reman class="hi2">aan>in guilt's messenger"

So whan class="hi2">aan>t this is san class="hi2">aan>ying is than class="hi2">aan>t guilt is in the mind below the physican class="hi2">aan>l level an class="hi2">aan>nd it is projected outwan class="hi2">aan>rd, producing its SHan class="hi2">Aan>DOW, which is the physican class="hi2">aan>l form. The body can class="hi2">aan>nnot SEE the underlying origins of itself in the mind becan class="hi2">aan>use it is not visible or man class="hi2">aan>de of man class="hi2">aan>tter. Yet becan class="hi2">aan>use guilt PROJECTS the body, the body reman class="hi2">aan>ins "guilt's messenger" or spean class="hi2">aan>ks for whan class="hi2">aan>t is hidden. "Its SHan class="hi2">Aan>DOW rises to the surfan class="hi2">aan>ce"

"Without the IDEan class="hi2">Aan> of dean class="hi2">aan>th there is no world." - the idean class="hi2">aan> is hidden by its projection. The world, an class="hi2">aan>s the shan class="hi2">aan>dow or projected form of the hidden error, can class="hi2">aan>nnot exist if the inner IDEan class="hi2">Aan> of dean class="hi2">aan>th is removed from the mind.

Ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly then you can class="hi2">aan>n't project an class="hi2">aan> world than class="hi2">aan>t's ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the man class="hi2">aan>d idean class="hi2">aan> or the THOUGHT of dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, if the thought of dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion is removed from the mind. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the world is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly the EFFECT of an class="hi2">aan>n internan class="hi2">aan>l Can class="hi2">Aan>USE. Projection man class="hi2">aan>kes perception. You looked within an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>w sin an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd projected the physican class="hi2">aan>l universe out from it to "externan class="hi2">aan>lize" an class="hi2">aan>nd dissocian class="hi2">aan>te from the mentan class="hi2">aan>l content. It wan class="hi2">aan>s this which an class="hi2">aan>lso formed an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>ll of flesh an class="hi2">aan>round the mind, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> body. If the SOURCE of the world in the mind is gone, the world can class="hi2">aan>n no longer BE projected.

To overcome the world therefore, we han class="hi2">aan>ve to properly forgive by FIRST recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t the world - the physican class="hi2">aan>l level of it - is not rean class="hi2">aan>lly the problem. Just an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>nother person is not rean class="hi2">aan>lly the problem. We only think the world is the problem becan class="hi2">aan>use we an class="hi2">aan>re not rean class="hi2">aan>lizing than class="hi2">aan>t it is being PROJECTED. If we stop using this FORM of projection, ie we stop projecting FROM fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt, we will stop projecting an class="hi2">aan> world than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs sinful, an class="hi2">aan>nd instean class="hi2">aan>d project "the rean class="hi2">aan>l world" FROM an class="hi2">aan>n inner stan class="hi2">aan>te of pean class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd love.

"But to find the plan class="hi2">aan>ce, you must relinquish your investment in the world ***an class="hi2">aan>s YOU han class="hi2">aan>ve projected it***, an class="hi2">aan>llowing the Holy Spirit to project the rean class="hi2">aan>l world TO you, from the an class="hi2">aan>ltan class="hi2">aan>r of God."

"an class="hi2">Aan>t first you see an class="hi2">aan> world which han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ccepted this an class="hi2">aan>s true, ***projected from an class="hi2">aan> now corrected mind***. an class="hi2">Aan>nd with this holy sight, perception gives an class="hi2">aan> silent blessing an class="hi2">aan>nd then disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs, its goan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ccomplished an class="hi2">aan>nd its mission done."

The tan class="hi2">aan>kean class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y is than class="hi2">aan>t in fan class="hi2">aan>ct plan class="hi2">aan>net Ean class="hi2">aan>rth, in its physican class="hi2">aan>lity, is in fan class="hi2">aan>ct once removed from the problem. It isn't even WHERE the "sin" rean class="hi2">aan>lly is. The problem is in the mind an class="hi2">aan>nd is below the physican class="hi2">aan>l surfan class="hi2">aan>ce level. The physican class="hi2">aan>l HIDES the problem an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>kes you focus on its projected FORM. The world ITSELF is not where the problem IS. Becan class="hi2">aan>use undernean class="hi2">aan>th the physican class="hi2">aan>l world there is an class="hi2">aan> hidden lan class="hi2">aan>yer of terrible fean class="hi2">aan>r, FROM which the world projects.

This pran class="hi2">aan>ctican class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>lmost mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re TWO worlds we man class="hi2">aan>de.... an class="hi2">aan>n inner world of hidden guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>r - an class="hi2">aan> sort of "underworld", an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> dissocian class="hi2">aan>ted PROJECTED world of physican class="hi2">aan>l form an class="hi2">aan>nd sin. This perhan class="hi2">aan>ps man class="hi2">aan>kes sense given than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll of this is tan class="hi2">aan>king plan class="hi2">aan>ce in an class="hi2">aan> SPLIT MIND, in which "you an class="hi2">aan>re in two minds", an class="hi2">aan>nd literan class="hi2">aan>lly one pan class="hi2">aan>rt of mind houses the secret guilt while the other houses the projection which pictures its crucifixion.

"This world IS an class="hi2">aan> ***picture of*** (projection of) the crucifixion of God's Son. an class="hi2">Aan>nd until you rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t God's Son Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT be crucified, this is the world you will see (project to perceive)."

"This hean class="hi2">aan>vy-seeming ban class="hi2">aan>rrier, this an class="hi2">aan>rtifician class="hi2">aan>l floor than class="hi2">aan>t looks like rock, is like an class="hi2">aan> ban class="hi2">aan>nk of low, dan class="hi2">aan>rk clouds than class="hi2">aan>t seem to be an class="hi2">aan> solid wan class="hi2">aan>ll before the sun. Its impenetran class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nce is WHOLLY an class="hi2">aan>n illusion."

"It can class="hi2">aan>n indeed be san class="hi2">aan>id the ego ***Man class="hi2">Aan>DE its world on sin***. Only in such an class="hi2">aan> world COULD everything be upside down. This IS the stran class="hi2">aan>nge illusion which man class="hi2">aan>kes the clouds of guilt seem hean class="hi2">aan>vy an class="hi2">aan>nd impenetran class="hi2">aan>ble. The solidness this world's foundan class="hi2">aan>tion SEEMS to han class="hi2">aan>ve is FOUND in this."

In effect, this world IS an class="hi2">Aan> DECOY, which in fan class="hi2">aan>ct hides the "rean class="hi2">aan>l problem" which is hidden from physican class="hi2">aan>l sight, an class="hi2">aan>nd lies in the mind. If we han class="hi2">aan>ve sin in the mind we project an class="hi2">aan> sinful world. If we han class="hi2">aan>ve love in the mind we project an class="hi2">aan> loving world. an class="hi2">Aan>nd neither is first-han class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lity becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re both projections.

A Course in Miracles is a required course, for everyone

an class="hi2">Aan>CIM lean class="hi2">aan>ds off with this:

"This is an class="hi2">aan> course in miran class="hi2">aan>cles. It is an class="hi2">aan> required course. Only the time you tan class="hi2">aan>ke it is voluntan class="hi2">aan>ry. Free will does not mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n estan class="hi2">aan>blish the curriculum. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns only than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n elect whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to tan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> given time. The course does not an class="hi2">aan>im an class="hi2">aan>t tean class="hi2">aan>ching the mean class="hi2">aan>ning of love, for than class="hi2">aan>t is beyond whan class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n be tan class="hi2">aan>ught. It does an class="hi2">aan>im, however, an class="hi2">aan>t removing the blocks to the an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of love's presence, which is your nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l inheritan class="hi2">aan>nce. The opposite of love is fean class="hi2">aan>r, but whan class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan>ll-encompan class="hi2">aan>ssing can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ve no opposite."

It is san class="hi2">aan>ying than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re REQUIRED to tan class="hi2">aan>ke this 'course', an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t there is some kind of 'curriculum' than class="hi2">aan>t is not optionan class="hi2">aan>l.

Man class="hi2">aan>ny believe this mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t we ean class="hi2">aan>ch han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n individuan class="hi2">aan>l curriculum, which we do (an class="hi2">aan> script).

But whan class="hi2">aan>t it is an class="hi2">aan>lso points to, is than class="hi2">aan>t there is an class="hi2">aan> set of metan class="hi2">aan>physics which describes an class="hi2">aan> kind of pre-set or structured lan class="hi2">aan>yout to existence, describing the mechan class="hi2">aan>nics of the dimensions of the drean class="hi2">aan>m, how things an class="hi2">aan>re 'set up', where the truth IS (God), whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth is not (ego), an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t steps an class="hi2">aan>re necessan class="hi2">aan>ry in order to find true pean class="hi2">aan>ce.

This lan class="hi2">aan>yout, or 'plan class="hi2">aan>n', if you will, is not optionan class="hi2">aan>l. It is not something you can class="hi2">aan>n interfere with. It is not something you get to determine. It is an class="hi2">aan> set of 'rules' or 'lan class="hi2">aan>w' by which everything is governed. There is an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>w of can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect. There is an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>w than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t you do to others you do to yourself. etc... these an class="hi2">aan>re non negotian class="hi2">aan>ble.

The ego thinks it han class="hi2">aan>s the power an class="hi2">aan>nd freedom to estan class="hi2">aan>blish the rules, to determine where the truth is, whan class="hi2">aan>t lan class="hi2">aan>ws govern existence, than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n 'option' of living without God, than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n just man class="hi2">aan>ke everything up to be the wan class="hi2">aan>y you wan class="hi2">aan>nt it, than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n find truth in whan class="hi2">aan>t is fan class="hi2">aan>lse, than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n live without God (Life), etc... the ego han class="hi2">aan>s this fictionan class="hi2">aan>l idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t it is 'an class="hi2">aan>bove the lan class="hi2">aan>w'.

The christian class="hi2">aan>ns would san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t the ego (an class="hi2">aan>s the devil), is the lan class="hi2">aan>w-brean class="hi2">aan>ker which thinks it can class="hi2">aan>n 'sin' by brean class="hi2">aan>king God's lan class="hi2">aan>ws, i.e. defying the curriculum. But we're an class="hi2">aan>ll doing this whether we're christian class="hi2">aan>ns or not.

The curriculum is the metan class="hi2">aan>physics. The curriculum is God's plan class="hi2">aan>n. The curriculum is the 'how' an class="hi2">aan>nd the 'requirements' an class="hi2">aan>nd 'conditions' necessan class="hi2">aan>ry in order to return to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of God. It's like, an class="hi2">aan> set of lan class="hi2">aan>ws than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve to an class="hi2">aan>ccept an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>gree to, if you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to plan class="hi2">aan>y-nice with the estan class="hi2">aan>blishment.

an class="hi2">Aan>s such the metan class="hi2">aan>physics determines the 'wan class="hi2">aan>y to God', so an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t's left rean class="hi2">aan>lly is the timing of your willingness to an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPT the pan class="hi2">aan>th to an class="hi2">aan>tonement, by surrendering the ego idean class="hi2">aan> of self-control an class="hi2">aan>nd the illusion of choice.

It's called a Course in miracles for a reason!

Here an class="hi2">aan>re some steps an class="hi2">aan>nd keys to performing REan class="hi2">Aan>L miran class="hi2">aan>cles. This is for rean class="hi2">aan>l! I've an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy experienced success hean class="hi2">aan>ling pan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd leg cran class="hi2">aan>mps an class="hi2">aan>nd emotionan class="hi2">aan>l upsets with this an class="hi2">aan>pproan class="hi2">aan>ch in the pan class="hi2">aan>st few dan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>nd I'm just getting stan class="hi2">aan>rted. Try following this process. Relevan class="hi2">aan>nt an class="hi2">Aan>CIM Miran class="hi2">aan>cle principles an class="hi2">aan>re given throughout...

1) an class="hi2">Aan>cknowledge than class="hi2">aan>t God is unconditionan class="hi2">aan>l love an class="hi2">aan>nd loves everyone completely. Love is the opposite of fean class="hi2">aan>r. It is importan class="hi2">aan>nt to put an class="hi2">aan>ll fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>side in order to work miran class="hi2">aan>cles. Opening up to LOVE will shine an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y your fean class="hi2">aan>rs. "26 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles represent freedom from fean class="hi2">aan>r. an class="hi2">Aan>toning mean class="hi2">aan>ns undoing - undoing fean class="hi2">aan>r is an class="hi2">aan>n essentian class="hi2">aan>l pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the miran class="hi2">aan>cle." "28 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y of ean class="hi2">aan>rning relean class="hi2">aan>se from fean class="hi2">aan>r."

2) an class="hi2">Aan>cknowledge than class="hi2">aan>t God's love is powerful an class="hi2">aan>nd is more powerful than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ny other power, including an class="hi2">aan>ny form of sickness. You must be willing to rean class="hi2">aan>lly believe than class="hi2">aan>t God Can class="hi2">Aan>N hean class="hi2">aan>l this, 100%. This man class="hi2">aan>y require an class="hi2">aan> lean class="hi2">aan>p of fan class="hi2">aan>ith. God's power is the only power, an class="hi2">aan>ll other powers an class="hi2">aan>re powerless before Him an class="hi2">aan>nd do not rean class="hi2">aan>lly exist. God's power, an class="hi2">aan>s light, shines an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y the illusion of an class="hi2">aan>lternan class="hi2">aan>tive powers such an class="hi2">aan>s sickness/dean class="hi2">aan>th/ego/body han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan>ny power over the Son of God.

3) It man class="hi2">aan>y be useful to remember there is no order of difficulty in miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>nd no man class="hi2">aan>tter whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> sickness looks like or how severe, than class="hi2">aan>t is irrelevan class="hi2">aan>nt. God's power is grean class="hi2">aan>ter an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n hean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ll things unconditionan class="hi2">aan>lly. "1 - There is no order of difficulty in miran class="hi2">aan>cles. One is not han class="hi2">aan>rder or bigger than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nother." "49 - The miran class="hi2">aan>cle man class="hi2">aan>kes no distinction an class="hi2">aan>mong degrees of misperception."

4) an class="hi2">Aan>cknowledge God's love for you an class="hi2">aan>nd the other person an class="hi2">aan>nd feel it in your hean class="hi2">aan>rt, whole-hean class="hi2">aan>rtedly. Han class="hi2">aan>lf-hean class="hi2">aan>rted love doesn't produce results. The process of performing an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle entan class="hi2">aan>ils pran class="hi2">aan>yer an class="hi2">aan>nd communion with God in your right mind. "11: Pran class="hi2">aan>yer is the medium of miran class="hi2">aan>cles." "36 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re exan class="hi2">aan>mples of right thinking."

5) an class="hi2">Aan>cknowledge than class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy hean class="hi2">aan>led everything, than class="hi2">aan>t Holy Spirit han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy undone an class="hi2">aan>ll consequences of the entire sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd now 'in time' it's just an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of can class="hi2">aan>tching up. Whan class="hi2">aan>t you 'see' an class="hi2">aan>s ego evidence of sickness is NOT God's truth. In God, there is no sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd God wan class="hi2">aan>nts to hean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ll sickness now

6) Being an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of whan class="hi2">aan>t God an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy is (an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy loves you, an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy han class="hi2">aan>s hean class="hi2">aan>led you/other) man class="hi2">aan>kes you an class="hi2">aan>pprecian class="hi2">aan>tive. Express gran class="hi2">aan>titude to God for his love an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ling which an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>LREan class="hi2">Aan>DY the truth. "33 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles honor you becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re lovan class="hi2">aan>ble."

7) Express gran class="hi2">aan>titude to God for crean class="hi2">aan>ting the Rean class="hi2">aan>l version of you an class="hi2">aan>nd the other person, your Holy Self, an class="hi2">aan>nd be gran class="hi2">aan>teful for the properties of than class="hi2">aan>t true Self - innocence, perfect hean class="hi2">aan>lth, bean class="hi2">aan>utiful joy, lovan class="hi2">aan>bility, etc i.e. look pan class="hi2">aan>st the ego self to the Christ. Remind yourself of whan class="hi2">aan>t the rean class="hi2">aan>l truth is an class="hi2">aan>bout you an class="hi2">aan>nd the other person. "14 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles bean class="hi2">aan>r witness to truth." "17 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles tran class="hi2">aan>nscend the body." "20 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles rean class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken the an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness than class="hi2">aan>t the spirit, not the body, is the an class="hi2">aan>ltan class="hi2">aan>r of truth." "40 - The miran class="hi2">aan>cle an class="hi2">aan>cknowledges everyone an class="hi2">aan>s your brother an class="hi2">aan>nd mine." "50 - The miran class="hi2">aan>cle compan class="hi2">aan>res whan class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve man class="hi2">aan>de with crean class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>ccepting whan class="hi2">aan>t is in an class="hi2">aan>ccord with it an class="hi2">aan>s true."

8) Extend God's love by RECEIVING it an class="hi2">aan>nd EXPERIENCING it for yourself an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>nking God for loving you, an class="hi2">aan>nd then an class="hi2">aan>llowing it to overflow from you to an class="hi2">aan>nother. You will be an class="hi2">aan> chan class="hi2">aan>nnel or bridge for it an class="hi2">aan>nd God/Holy Spirit/Jesus will do an class="hi2">aan>ll the an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l hean class="hi2">aan>ling FOR YOU an class="hi2">aan>nd THROUGH YOU if you just stan class="hi2">aan>y open to love. "3 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles occur nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>s expressions of love." "5 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re han class="hi2">aan>bits an class="hi2">aan>nd should be involuntan class="hi2">aan>ry." "16 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re tean class="hi2">aan>ching devices for demonstran class="hi2">aan>ting it is an class="hi2">aan>s blessed to give an class="hi2">aan>s to receive." "21 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l signs of forgiveness. Through miran class="hi2">aan>cles you an class="hi2">aan>ccept God's forgiveness by extending it to others." "

9) Than class="hi2">aan>nk God for an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy hean class="hi2">aan>ling the xyz sickness in yourself or the other person, an class="hi2">aan>nd focus on gran class="hi2">aan>titude for it han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy been hean class="hi2">aan>led. Believe this hean class="hi2">aan>ling is possible. Know it. "27 - an class="hi2">Aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is an class="hi2">aan> universan class="hi2">aan>l blessing from God through me to an class="hi2">aan>ll my brothers." "29 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles pran class="hi2">aan>ise God through you."

10) If with someone, lan class="hi2">aan>y han class="hi2">aan>nds on the an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan> of their sickness, or you can class="hi2">aan>n put your own han class="hi2">aan>nd on your own an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan>, or just be open. Touching isn't strictly necessan class="hi2">aan>ry but it seems to help focus an class="hi2">aan>nd tran class="hi2">aan>nsfer spirituan class="hi2">aan>l power. "8 - an class="hi2">Aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is an class="hi2">aan> service. It is the man class="hi2">aan>ximan class="hi2">aan>l service you can class="hi2">aan>n render to an class="hi2">aan>nother."

11) Invite Jesus an class="hi2">aan>nd Holy Spirit to come into you an class="hi2">aan>nd feel their presence. This isn't the san class="hi2">aan>me necessan class="hi2">aan>rily an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>sking or requesting them to come in, it should be an class="hi2">aan>n open-ended invitan class="hi2">aan>tion. e.g. Jesus I invite you to come into me an class="hi2">aan>nd join with me. You man class="hi2">aan>y experience their presence in you. "44 - The miran class="hi2">aan>cle is an class="hi2">aan>n expression of an class="hi2">aan>n inner an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of Christ an class="hi2">aan>nd the an class="hi2">aan>cceptan class="hi2">aan>nce of His an class="hi2">Aan>tonement."

12) an class="hi2">Aan>sk Holy Spirit an class="hi2">aan>nd Jesus to go now into the person/an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan> of sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>l it. But try to focus man class="hi2">aan>inly on than class="hi2">aan>nking them for doing so, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t there is something still 'to do', becan class="hi2">aan>use the lan class="hi2">aan>tter involves an class="hi2">aan> perception of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion while gran class="hi2">aan>titude is immedian class="hi2">aan>te. Keep focusing on love. Stan class="hi2">aan>y in the love. Feel the love. Extend the love. The power of love should stan class="hi2">aan>rt to flow through you into the an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan>/person. You might experience shan class="hi2">aan>king or other sensan class="hi2">aan>tions. "8 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re hean class="hi2">aan>ling becan class="hi2">aan>use they supply an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck." "9 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> kind of exchan class="hi2">aan>nge." "19 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles man class="hi2">aan>ke minds one in God." "38 - The Holy Spirit is the mechan class="hi2">aan>nism of miran class="hi2">aan>cles."

13) Centered in love, centered in God, centered in Spirit, you can class="hi2">aan>n 'comman class="hi2">aan>nd' sickness to be hean class="hi2">aan>led. It must obey becan class="hi2">aan>use God han class="hi2">aan>s power over it an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re extending the an class="hi2">aan>uthority of God. You can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>uthoritan class="hi2">aan>tive an class="hi2">aan>nd literan class="hi2">aan>lly comman class="hi2">aan>nd it to lean class="hi2">aan>ve. "Pan class="hi2">aan>in I comman class="hi2">aan>nd you lean class="hi2">aan>ve this body right now, get out now" for exan class="hi2">aan>mple. Remember than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>lf-hean class="hi2">aan>rted an class="hi2">aan>ttempts do not work. Do not be an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id to be strongly an class="hi2">aan>ssertive (which is not the san class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>s being forceful). Be firm in your an class="hi2">aan>ffirman class="hi2">aan>tion of truth an class="hi2">aan>nd wholeness. "41 - Wholeness is the perceptuan class="hi2">aan>l content of miran class="hi2">aan>cles." "43 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>rise from an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>culous stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind, or an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of miran class="hi2">aan>cle-rean class="hi2">aan>diness."

14) Continue focusing on gran class="hi2">aan>titude an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>nking God, which opens up the flow of His power even more. Try not to focus on han class="hi2">aan>ving to do an class="hi2">aan>nything yourself. You an class="hi2">aan>re not the hean class="hi2">aan>ler. Your job is to stan class="hi2">aan>y connected to God's love an class="hi2">aan>nd be open to extending His hean class="hi2">aan>ling. "39 - The miran class="hi2">aan>cle dissolves error becan class="hi2">aan>use the Holy Spirit identifies error an class="hi2">aan>s fan class="hi2">aan>lse or unrean class="hi2">aan>l." "42 - an class="hi2">Aan> man class="hi2">aan>jor contribution of miran class="hi2">aan>cles is their strength in relean class="hi2">aan>sing you from your fan class="hi2">aan>lse sense of isolan class="hi2">aan>tion ."

15) You can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>lso than class="hi2">aan>nk Jesus an class="hi2">aan>nd Holy Spirit for their hean class="hi2">aan>ling. Remember it man class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r the 'body' is being hean class="hi2">aan>led but rean class="hi2">aan>lly the mind is being hean class="hi2">aan>led - the body is inside of an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>de of 'mind'. Bodies an class="hi2">aan>re just idean class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>nd iman class="hi2">aan>ges than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n be corrected. an class="hi2">Aan>ll sickness is crean class="hi2">aan>ted BY the mind using an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck thoughts/fan class="hi2">aan>lse thinking. "24 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles enan class="hi2">aan>ble you to hean class="hi2">aan>l the sick an class="hi2">aan>nd ran class="hi2">aan>ise the dean class="hi2">aan>d becan class="hi2">aan>use you man class="hi2">aan>de sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th." "32 - I [Jesus] inspire an class="hi2">aan>ll miran class="hi2">aan>cles, which an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>lly intercessions. They intercede for your holiness." "34 - Miran class="hi2">aan>cles restore the mind to its fullness." "37 - an class="hi2">Aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is an class="hi2">aan> correction introduced into fan class="hi2">aan>lse thinking by me [Jesus]."

16) They man class="hi2">aan>y tell you than class="hi2">aan>t the issue is gone, or hean class="hi2">aan>led, or man class="hi2">aan>ybe they will give you guidan class="hi2">aan>nce to clan class="hi2">aan>rify whan class="hi2">aan>t the issue is or whan class="hi2">aan>t it's ban class="hi2">aan>sed on etc. During an class="hi2">aan>n experiment yesterdan class="hi2">aan>y I simply hean class="hi2">aan>rd "its gone", an class="hi2">aan>nd the pan class="hi2">aan>in wan class="hi2">aan>s gone. The Voice for God can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nd will direct you specifican class="hi2">aan>lly especian class="hi2">aan>lly when you an class="hi2">aan>re in the flow of performing miran class="hi2">aan>cles or 'ministering' truth to your brother.

Let's dran class="hi2">aan>w an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>rge circle an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>ll it hean class="hi2">aan>ven.

Then inside of than class="hi2">aan>t circle, let's dran class="hi2">aan>w an class="hi2">aan> sman class="hi2">aan>ller circle an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>ll it ean class="hi2">aan>rth.

You could san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle overlan class="hi2">aan>ps with the big circle. In an class="hi2">aan> sense, when you an class="hi2">aan>re in the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle, you an class="hi2">aan>re in BOTH circles. an class="hi2">Aan>s such, being in the sman class="hi2">aan>ller circle, or on Ean class="hi2">aan>rth, it is possible to be an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t in truth you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>LSO inside the big circle. Than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys in hean class="hi2">aan>ven with God, even if you an class="hi2">aan>re drean class="hi2">aan>ming of exile inside the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle.

It's an class="hi2">aan>lso possible while you an class="hi2">aan>re in the sman class="hi2">aan>ller circle, of focusing so much on the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle to the exclusion of the big circle, than class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>n seem like ONLY the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle exists. This is whan class="hi2">aan>t being "blinded by perception of form" mean class="hi2">aan>ns, focusing on an class="hi2">aan> limitan class="hi2">aan>tion of sman class="hi2">aan>llness an class="hi2">aan>nd not seeing the bigger picture. Focusing on the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle an class="hi2">aan>nd not seeing the big circle. Focusing on believing ean class="hi2">aan>rth (sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle) is rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd not seeing the rean class="hi2">aan>lity of the big circle an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.

But it is an class="hi2">aan>lso possible for the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle to be overlooked (forgiven) to such an class="hi2">aan>n extent than class="hi2">aan>t its boundan class="hi2">aan>ries become tran class="hi2">aan>nspan class="hi2">aan>rent an class="hi2">aan>nd you become an class="hi2">aan>ble to see the bigger circle behind it. an class="hi2">Aan>s such, an class="hi2">aan>s you look towan class="hi2">aan>rd the things in the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle you will see the light of the big circle shining through undernean class="hi2">aan>th it. an class="hi2">Aan>s though you an class="hi2">aan>re in two plan class="hi2">aan>ces an class="hi2">aan>t once. One foot on ean class="hi2">aan>rth, an class="hi2">aan>nd one in hean class="hi2">aan>ven.

Your perception tan class="hi2">aan>kes on an class="hi2">aan> temporan class="hi2">aan>rily pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>llel functioning, pan class="hi2">aan>rt physican class="hi2">aan>lly focused on the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle, an class="hi2">aan>nd pan class="hi2">aan>rt spirituan class="hi2">aan>l-eye focused on the vision of the big circle. When seeing the big circle more clean class="hi2">aan>rly, the sman class="hi2">aan>ller circle is fran class="hi2">aan>med differently, an class="hi2">aan>nd the things in the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle become less importan class="hi2">aan>nt, less solid, less believan class="hi2">aan>ble.

This sman class="hi2">aan>ller circle, when seen through, an class="hi2">aan>nd when seen beyond, is regan class="hi2">aan>rded an class="hi2">aan>s the forgiven world, or rean class="hi2">aan>l world. This includes the ean class="hi2">aan>rth which is an class="hi2">aan> sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle within the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle. an class="hi2">Aan>s mind becomes an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of its thinness an class="hi2">aan>nd tran class="hi2">aan>nspan class="hi2">aan>rency, it simultan class="hi2">aan>neously becomes increan class="hi2">aan>singly an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of God, which is an class="hi2">aan> very lan class="hi2">aan>rge circle beyond an class="hi2">aan>ll sman class="hi2">aan>ll circles.

God is the big circle. This mean class="hi2">aan>ns the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion, becan class="hi2">aan>use there can class="hi2">aan>n only be one circle. an class="hi2">Aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion is needed in order to imply than class="hi2">aan>t there is an class="hi2">aan> second circle. Temporan class="hi2">aan>rily there seems to be two circles. But you can class="hi2">aan>nnot han class="hi2">aan>ve two circles without opposition an class="hi2">aan>nd conflict. With sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle is an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m of dean class="hi2">aan>th, an class="hi2">aan>nd without sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, there is no dean class="hi2">aan>th becan class="hi2">aan>use there is no sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle (no world).

an class="hi2">Aan>t best, the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle can class="hi2">aan>n be interpreted an class="hi2">Aan>S IF it is LIKE the big circle, an class="hi2">aan>s though reflecting hean class="hi2">aan>ven, an class="hi2">aan>nd while the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle persists you can class="hi2">aan>n seem to be in the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle an class="hi2">aan>nd mostly an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of the big circle an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time. This man class="hi2">aan>kes the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle seem less like an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l thing, an class="hi2">aan>nd more like an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>int illusion of an class="hi2">aan> thing. It becomes less van class="hi2">aan>lued, an class="hi2">aan>nd more overlooked. It seems more lovely, fran class="hi2">aan>med in the holy wholeness of the big circle, but is still an class="hi2">aan> limited circle.

If you rean class="hi2">aan>lly wan class="hi2">aan>nt to go an class="hi2">Aan>LL the wan class="hi2">aan>y to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of the big circle, you will han class="hi2">aan>ve to tran class="hi2">aan>nscend the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle completely. You will han class="hi2">aan>ve to go OUTSIDE the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle, beyond its sman class="hi2">aan>ll rean class="hi2">aan>ch, an class="hi2">aan>nd beyond its limits. This isn't possible while reman class="hi2">aan>ining in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y inside the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle, becan class="hi2">aan>use the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle doesn't cover an class="hi2">aan>ll of the an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t big circle covers. an class="hi2">Aan>lso the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle requires an class="hi2">aan> belief in being sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te in order to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> second circle. Without sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion there is no sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.

When you an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>dy to tran class="hi2">aan>nscend the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle an class="hi2">aan>nd completely open up to the big circle, which is totan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>ccepting an class="hi2">aan>tonement an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>scending to hean class="hi2">aan>ven, you will tran class="hi2">aan>nscend the sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle world an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>ke up in the big circle. an class="hi2">Aan>t this point you will be completely an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of the fullness of the big circle, an class="hi2">aan>nd there will be no sman class="hi2">aan>ll circles an class="hi2">aan>nywhere. In truth, only the big circle exists, an class="hi2">aan>nd there is no sman class="hi2">aan>ll circle an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.

This is the hologran class="hi2">aan>phic principle. There is an class="hi2">aan> whole (God) which han class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rts (sons of God), an class="hi2">aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>ch pan class="hi2">aan>rt contan class="hi2">aan>ins the whole (oneness with God). The one whole is shan class="hi2">aan>red by the whole an class="hi2">aan>nd the pan class="hi2">aan>rts (brothers, inheritan class="hi2">aan>nce etc).

Most people think of rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>s sort of "one thing". Like one lan class="hi2">aan>rge an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan> or an class="hi2">aan>n expan class="hi2">aan>nse or some kind of bigness. But than class="hi2">aan>t's more or less the san class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>s the idean class="hi2">aan> of span class="hi2">aan>cetime or the universe. God is not an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly like than class="hi2">aan>t. God is hologran class="hi2">aan>phic.

In an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>phic system there is an class="hi2">aan> singulan class="hi2">aan>r wholeness, which we can class="hi2">aan>ll God. But there is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan> chan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>cteristic of this wholeness - the entire wholeness is in every pan class="hi2">aan>rt. Every pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God contan class="hi2">aan>ins the whole of God. an class="hi2">Aan>LL of God pan class="hi2">aan>ys FULL an class="hi2">aan>ttention to EVERY pan class="hi2">aan>rt simultan class="hi2">aan>neously - becan class="hi2">aan>use God is infinitely tran class="hi2">aan>nscendentan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n do this even if it sounds impossible.

God is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tor an class="hi2">aan>nd is can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of fully an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely crean class="hi2">aan>ting secondan class="hi2">aan>ry beings who an class="hi2">aan>re like himself. But he can class="hi2">aan>nnot an class="hi2">aan>dd-on an class="hi2">aan>nything outside of himself, so instean class="hi2">aan>d he an class="hi2">aan>dds on INSIDE of himself.

He does this by SHan class="hi2">Aan>RING himself entirely with than class="hi2">aan>t which he crean class="hi2">aan>tes, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t his crean class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>s to an class="hi2">aan>lso SHan class="hi2">Aan>RE an class="hi2">aan>ll of itself with everything.

It does not involve crean class="hi2">aan>ting OUTSIDE the kingdom or beyond be pre-existing totan class="hi2">aan>lity of God.

This shan class="hi2">aan>ring produces fully-crean class="hi2">aan>ted beings who inherit everything from God an class="hi2">aan>nd shan class="hi2">aan>re everything with God. They han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> oneness with God. But they an class="hi2">Aan>RE fully crean class="hi2">aan>ted individuan class="hi2">aan>l beings. They an class="hi2">aan>re completely full in every sense of the word. They contan class="hi2">aan>in everything like God does.

We an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll unified an class="hi2">aan>nd merged an class="hi2">aan>nd fused together.

This doesn't mean class="hi2">aan>n we lose our duan class="hi2">aan>lity. It doesn't mean class="hi2">aan>n we lose individuan class="hi2">aan>lity, or than class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>n't tell where we end an class="hi2">aan>nd God begins. We DO han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> discrete independent existence an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>bsolute beings. But we an class="hi2">Aan>LSO han class="hi2">aan>ve totan class="hi2">aan>l oneness with the whole.

This seems like an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>dox to most people. But it is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly miran class="hi2">aan>culous.

Becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>phic system han class="hi2">aan>s wholeness to it, we identify than class="hi2">aan>t wholeness an class="hi2">aan>s "oneness" an class="hi2">aan>nd might can class="hi2">aan>ll it "non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity". However, an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>phic system an class="hi2">Aan>LSO han class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rts to it - whole pan class="hi2">aan>rts, which shan class="hi2">aan>re the whole an class="hi2">aan>nd yet an class="hi2">aan>re whole in their own right. These "pan class="hi2">aan>rts" might be can class="hi2">aan>lled "duan class="hi2">aan>lity".

This mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t IN REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY, the nan class="hi2">aan>ture of God an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>phic system comprises BOTH ... non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">Aan>ND duan class="hi2">aan>lity, fused together an class="hi2">aan>s one. Everything is God, but God han class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rts which an class="hi2">aan>re living beings in their own right.

This is whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles tean class="hi2">aan>ches. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t there is man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l which in an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in CONTEXT is focusing on the non-duan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>spects of the hologran class="hi2">aan>m, such an class="hi2">aan>s the oneness an class="hi2">aan>nd the "God is" an class="hi2">aan>nd "there is no opposite" an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t.

an class="hi2">Aan>LL of these an class="hi2">aan>spects of the course an class="hi2">aan>re simultan class="hi2">aan>neously true. Even if they sound contran class="hi2">aan>dictory. If God's rean class="hi2">aan>lity wan class="hi2">aan>s NOT hologran class="hi2">aan>phic they would indeed be contran class="hi2">aan>dictory an class="hi2">aan>nd you'd han class="hi2">aan>ve to resolve than class="hi2">aan>t by sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ting off some pan class="hi2">aan>rts an class="hi2">aan>s "ego" or "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion" or "illusions".

Ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely then an class="hi2">Aan>CIM is not non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity, or duan class="hi2">aan>lity. But it is Pan class="hi2">Aan>RTLY non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd Pan class="hi2">Aan>RTLY duan class="hi2">aan>lity. The two an class="hi2">aan>re fused together in an class="hi2">aan> kind of "tran class="hi2">aan>ns-duan class="hi2">aan>lity". Tran class="hi2">aan>nscendent of both exclusive-oneness an class="hi2">aan>nd exclusive-sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>teness. God is not EXCLUSIVE an class="hi2">aan>nything - God is INCLUSIVE. Which is why the "non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity" INCLUDES "the duan class="hi2">aan>lity".

By duan class="hi2">aan>lity here I do not mean class="hi2">aan>n span class="hi2">aan>cetime. Span class="hi2">aan>cetime is duan class="hi2">aan>lity WITHOUT the non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity, ie exclusively duan class="hi2">aan>l. Than class="hi2">aan>t's not the san class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>s the tran class="hi2">aan>ns-duan class="hi2">aan>lity of God in which every pan class="hi2">aan>rt is the whole. In span class="hi2">aan>ce time, every pan class="hi2">aan>rt is Pan class="hi2">Aan>RTIan class="hi2">Aan>L an class="hi2">aan>nd incomplete. The opposite of duan class="hi2">aan>lity is not-nonduan class="hi2">aan>lity, it's tran class="hi2">aan>nscendentan class="hi2">aan>l of the whole "either this or than class="hi2">aan>t" mindset.

ARTICLE:

A healed mind in a body can still see suffering

There is an class="hi2">aan> myth in the an class="hi2">Aan>CIM community relan class="hi2">aan>ting to how perception works. It's ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the belief than class="hi2">aan>t we only han class="hi2">aan>ve one perception, one outlook. There's us, in the body, perceiving. We rean class="hi2">aan>d stuff an class="hi2">aan>bout how perception shifts an class="hi2">aan>nd how it chan class="hi2">aan>nges whan class="hi2">aan>t we see.

So we think ok, my one perception will shift an class="hi2">aan>nd it will show me an class="hi2">aan> different world. In other words, the ban class="hi2">aan>d stuff I wan class="hi2">aan>s seeing will seem to disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd I will see good stuff. We rean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>bout the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye an class="hi2">aan>nd christ vision an class="hi2">aan>nd we stan class="hi2">aan>rt to think than class="hi2">aan>t our entire perception is going to shift to ONLY seeing perfection an class="hi2">aan>nd bean class="hi2">aan>uty.

This of course then implies than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll the ban class="hi2">aan>d stuff, an class="hi2">aan>ll the sickness, the wan class="hi2">aan>rs, the conflict, the decan class="hi2">aan>y, it's an class="hi2">aan>ll going to man class="hi2">aan>gican class="hi2">aan>lly disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r from my perception an class="hi2">aan>nd I will not see it an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. Which in turn mean class="hi2">aan>ns, an class="hi2">aan>ll the hospitan class="hi2">aan>ls will be empty, everyone with broken limbs will man class="hi2">aan>gican class="hi2">aan>lly be fixed, it's my drean class="hi2">aan>m so the entire physican class="hi2">aan>l contents of the world will tran class="hi2">aan>nsform into an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>venly condition.

This is not whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>CIM tean class="hi2">aan>ches.

Perception is an class="hi2">aan> little more complican class="hi2">aan>ted becan class="hi2">aan>use there an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly two perceptuan class="hi2">aan>l mechan class="hi2">aan>nisms involved, an class="hi2">aan>nd Jesus goes to grean class="hi2">aan>t lengths describing them.

One perception mechan class="hi2">aan>nism, the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye, is direct "mind seeing", an class="hi2">aan>lso referred to an class="hi2">aan>s the eyes of Christ or Christ Vision. This seeing does not rely on or depend on the body whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever. It is not limited by span class="hi2">aan>ce or time or distan class="hi2">aan>nce. The mind can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>nywhere, go an class="hi2">aan>nywhere, see an class="hi2">aan>nywhere. It can class="hi2">aan>n see through wan class="hi2">aan>lls.

In fan class="hi2">aan>ct, the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye does not rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>CIM refers to an class="hi2">aan>s "the veil" of physican class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>tter, the gran class="hi2">aan>nite block of sin. It looks right THROUGH it an class="hi2">aan>s if it's not even there an class="hi2">aan>nd looks to the light of the rean class="hi2">aan>l world beyond. This fixan class="hi2">aan>tion on the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ is one wan class="hi2">aan>y of perceiving. But there is an class="hi2">aan>nother.

The body han class="hi2">aan>s its own perceptuan class="hi2">aan>l mechan class="hi2">aan>nism. It han class="hi2">aan>s physican class="hi2">aan>l eyeban class="hi2">aan>lls. Its form of perception depends entirely on illusions. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the body's perception is not can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of seeing an class="hi2">aan>nything else.

"Everything the body sees is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion."

"These eyes man class="hi2">aan>de not to see will never see"

"The body's eyes an class="hi2">aan>re therefore not the mean class="hi2">aan>ns by which the rean class="hi2">aan>l world can class="hi2">aan>n be seen, for the illusions than class="hi2">aan>t they look upon must lean class="hi2">aan>d to more illusions of rean class="hi2">aan>lity."

"The body's eyes behold it an class="hi2">aan>s solid gran class="hi2">aan>nite"

"Nothing the body's eyes seem to see can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>nything but an class="hi2">aan> form of temptan class="hi2">aan>tion"

"This is the function you han class="hi2">aan>ve given your body's eyes. 5 It is not seeing. 6 It is iman class="hi2">aan>ge man class="hi2">aan>king. 7 It tan class="hi2">aan>kes the plan class="hi2">aan>ce of seeing, replan class="hi2">aan>cing vision with illusions."

The body's perception relies entirely on the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of physics, which the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye completely tran class="hi2">aan>nscends. They rely on photons of light, concentran class="hi2">aan>ted pan class="hi2">aan>rticles of finite energy. Light han class="hi2">aan>s to collide with surfan class="hi2">aan>ces of physican class="hi2">aan>l forms, objects, man class="hi2">aan>tter, an class="hi2">aan>nd be "denied" by the form. The light is thus "reflected" ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n pan class="hi2">aan>ssing through it. This reflected light then enters the body's eyes an class="hi2">aan>nd pan class="hi2">aan>sses iman class="hi2">aan>ges to the mind for interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion.

This is an class="hi2">aan> fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>l difference between the two types of perception. Whan class="hi2">aan>t Jesus refers to an class="hi2">aan>s "physican class="hi2">aan>l sight" can class="hi2">aan>n only "see" when vision is blocked. In other words, seeing han class="hi2">aan>s to stop an class="hi2">aan>t the surfan class="hi2">aan>ce of objects, in order to see them an class="hi2">aan>s being there. This seeing is therefore blinded by physican class="hi2">aan>l objects. "Nothing so blinding an class="hi2">aan>s perception of form." Your eyes can class="hi2">aan>nnot see through man class="hi2">aan>tter.

Spirituan class="hi2">aan>l vision is the opposite, in than class="hi2">aan>t it does not stop an class="hi2">aan>t physican class="hi2">aan>l objects, it is not limited by man class="hi2">aan>tter or surfan class="hi2">aan>ces, it looks right through them an class="hi2">aan>s though they an class="hi2">aan>re just an class="hi2">aan> very thin tran class="hi2">aan>nspan class="hi2">aan>rent veil. It overlooks the physican class="hi2">aan>l world becan class="hi2">aan>use "to forgive is to overlook", looking beyond to the light.

Christ vision sees pan class="hi2">aan>st the illusion of physican class="hi2">aan>l form to something beyond it - the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ. Vision therefore doesn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly pan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>ttention to whan class="hi2">aan>t we would can class="hi2">aan>ll physican class="hi2">aan>l stuff or the world of bodies, nor dose it function ban class="hi2">aan>sed on "seeing photons".

"This world of idols IS an class="hi2">aan> veil an class="hi2">aan>cross the Fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ"

"the veil of sin than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ngs between you an class="hi2">aan>nd the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ"

"Christ's vision han class="hi2">aan>s one lan class="hi2">aan>w. It does not look upon an class="hi2">aan> body, an class="hi2">aan>nd mistan class="hi2">aan>ke it for the Son whom God crean class="hi2">aan>ted. It beholds an class="hi2">aan> light beyond the body"

"The fourth obstan class="hi2">aan>cle to be surmounted han class="hi2">aan>ngs like an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>vy veil before the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ."

"Rean class="hi2">aan>l vision is not only unlimited by span class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd distan class="hi2">aan>nce, but it does not depend on the body's eyes an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll"

Essentian class="hi2">aan>lly, body vision is blinded by perception of the form of physican class="hi2">aan>l objects/man class="hi2">aan>tter, but to the body this can class="hi2">aan>uses it to "see" them. ie my vision "stopped an class="hi2">aan>t" the surfan class="hi2">aan>ce. Spirituan class="hi2">aan>l vision does not use photons of light, does not depend on physican class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>tter, an class="hi2">aan>nd sees directly with the mind.

The thing is this. For an class="hi2">aan>nyone who han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> body or is in an class="hi2">aan> body, BOTH mechan class="hi2">aan>nisms for seeing an class="hi2">aan>re simultan class="hi2">aan>neously functioning. It does not man class="hi2">aan>tter how an class="hi2">aan>sleep or an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ke you an class="hi2">aan>re, whether you han class="hi2">aan>ve fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception or true perception. It does not man class="hi2">aan>tter if your mind is sick or hean class="hi2">aan>led. If you still han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> body, the body's eyes STILL will continue to report iman class="hi2">aan>ges of the PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>L ONLY world to the mind, an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time an class="hi2">aan>s the mind trying to see pan class="hi2">aan>st it. It will still see the forms of man class="hi2">aan>tter, bodies, wan class="hi2">aan>rs, sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th.

This is an class="hi2">aan>lso why for exan class="hi2">aan>mple you can class="hi2">aan>n rean class="hi2">aan>d the an class="hi2">Aan>CIM workbook an class="hi2">aan>nd STILL REan class="hi2">Aan>D THE WORDS, even if you an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>king progress in opening christ vision, becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re still using the body's eyes an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time. Those who wan class="hi2">aan>ke up in the world an class="hi2">aan>re still perfectly can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of wan class="hi2">aan>tching tv an class="hi2">aan>nd choosing food an class="hi2">aan>nd nan class="hi2">aan>vigan class="hi2">aan>ting an class="hi2">aan>round an class="hi2">aan> building an class="hi2">aan>nd driving an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>r.

This "double vision" of body sight an class="hi2">aan>nd mind vision, will occur an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> kind of pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>llel perception. an class="hi2">Aan>s the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye opens, an class="hi2">aan>s your mind opens up to direct vision, an class="hi2">aan>s you overlook (forgive) the world of man class="hi2">aan>tter, your body is still going to function in exan class="hi2">aan>ctly the san class="hi2">aan>me biologican class="hi2">aan>lly limited man class="hi2">aan>nner. It is still going to relan class="hi2">aan>y messan class="hi2">aan>ges to the mind an class="hi2">aan>s to whan class="hi2">aan>t it senses an class="hi2">aan>nd sees. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the mind han class="hi2">aan>s to sort out whan class="hi2">aan>t these messan class="hi2">aan>ges mean class="hi2">aan>n to it.

Mind, an class="hi2">aan>s the only seer ("only the mind sees"), is therefore receiving impressions either directly (the rean class="hi2">aan>l world, fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ), or indirectly (vian class="hi2">aan> the body's eyes). It is experiencing TWO inputs for an class="hi2">aan> while. In order to open the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l vision, investment in physican class="hi2">aan>l sight han class="hi2">aan>s to be diminished. But this only mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t the iman class="hi2">aan>ges coming from the body an class="hi2">aan>re recognized an class="hi2">aan>s illusions not to be believed. Visions of rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ccepted an class="hi2">aan>s true, visions of the physican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>re recognized an class="hi2">aan>s fan class="hi2">aan>lse. There an class="hi2">aan>re two levels of perception:

"Pan class="hi2">aan>in thresholds can class="hi2">aan>n be high, but they an class="hi2">aan>re not limitless. Eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly, everybody begins to recognize, however dimly, than class="hi2">aan>t there MUST be an class="hi2">aan> better wan class="hi2">aan>y. an class="hi2">Aan>s this recognition is more firmly estan class="hi2">aan>blished, it becomes an class="hi2">aan> perceptuan class="hi2">aan>l turning-point. This ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely rean class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kens the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye (which is now an class="hi2">aan> second wan class="hi2">aan>y to perceive), simultan class="hi2">aan>neously wean class="hi2">aan>kening the investment in physican class="hi2">aan>l sight. The an class="hi2">aan>lternan class="hi2">aan>ting investment in the ***two types or levels of perception*** is usuan class="hi2">aan>lly experienced an class="hi2">aan>s conflict for an class="hi2">aan> long time, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n become very an class="hi2">aan>cute."

"The body's eyes will continue to see differences. 2 But the mind ***than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s let itself be hean class="hi2">aan>led*** (han class="hi2">aan>s christ vision an class="hi2">Aan>ND is using the body) will no longer an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge them. 3 ****There will be those who seem to be "sicker" than class="hi2">aan>n others (seen with the body's eyes still), an class="hi2">aan>nd the body's eyes will report their chan class="hi2">aan>nged an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces an class="hi2">aan>s before****. 4 But the hean class="hi2">aan>led mind (han class="hi2">aan>ving true perception, an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te recognition) will put them an class="hi2">aan>ll in one can class="hi2">aan>tegory; they an class="hi2">aan>re unrean class="hi2">aan>l (recognized an class="hi2">aan>s fan class="hi2">aan>lse)."

This does not mean class="hi2">aan>n the mind is blind to sick bodies. NOR does it mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t seeing sick bodies is proof than class="hi2">aan>t your mind is sick! You see them becan class="hi2">aan>use your BODY shows them to you, but your mind decides whether to BELIEVE whan class="hi2">aan>t the body sees.

You still see physican class="hi2">aan>l signs of sickness becan class="hi2">aan>use you're still USING the body. Even when the body is used by the Holy Spirit for communican class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ling, even when your spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye is very open, physican class="hi2">aan>l sight STILL functions an class="hi2">aan>nd the mind DOES still SEE the iman class="hi2">aan>ges of the physican class="hi2">aan>l world.

True perception produces an class="hi2">Aan>CCURan class="hi2">Aan>TE perception, which correctly interprets body visions, an class="hi2">aan>nd is therefore NOT an class="hi2">aan>n INan class="hi2">Aan>BILITY to see bodies.

Being in this position, where your mind can class="hi2">aan>n see beyond the physican class="hi2">aan>l world to the light of rean class="hi2">aan>lity, where an class="hi2">aan>ll differences an class="hi2">aan>nd forms an class="hi2">aan>nd shan class="hi2">aan>pes an class="hi2">aan>re not given credence, but where the physican class="hi2">aan>l is STILL included in whan class="hi2">aan>t is seen due to still han class="hi2">aan>ving eyeban class="hi2">aan>lls, you an class="hi2">aan>re now an class="hi2">aan>bove the ban class="hi2">aan>ttlefield, in the world but not of it, an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of drean class="hi2">aan>ming. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now you an class="hi2">aan>re in an class="hi2">aan> position to be truly helpful.

"But forgiveness looks pan class="hi2">aan>st bodies. This is its holiness; this is how it hean class="hi2">aan>ls."

This is whan class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes you an class="hi2">aan> tean class="hi2">aan>cher of God. Being in an class="hi2">aan> position of grean class="hi2">aan>ter truth YET STILL IN THE WORLD. an class="hi2">Aan>ble to still REan class="hi2">Aan>CH those who an class="hi2">aan>re still in bodies, an class="hi2">aan>ble to hean class="hi2">aan>l both the minds an class="hi2">Aan>ND bodies of others, an class="hi2">aan>ble to see sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>mine an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ble to offer help. an class="hi2">Aan>ble to hean class="hi2">aan>l the sick, tran class="hi2">aan>nsform man class="hi2">aan>tter, ran class="hi2">aan>ise the dean class="hi2">aan>d, move mountan class="hi2">aan>ins, etc.

This sets you up for the situan class="hi2">aan>tion where there is an class="hi2">aan> ground for performing miran class="hi2">aan>cles. Becan class="hi2">aan>use only if you can class="hi2">aan>n be "more hean class="hi2">aan>led" (han class="hi2">aan>ve opened christ vision, mind seeing pan class="hi2">aan>st bodies) while simultan class="hi2">aan>neously being exposed to those who an class="hi2">aan>re "less hean class="hi2">aan>led" (can class="hi2">aan>n still see them with the body's mechan class="hi2">aan>nisms), do you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y to HELP an class="hi2">aan>nyone. You an class="hi2">aan>re still "where the sickness is" but an class="hi2">aan>re not sick yourself.

an class="hi2">Aan>nd miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> service. They an class="hi2">aan>re given by those who temporan class="hi2">aan>rily han class="hi2">aan>ve more to those who temporan class="hi2">aan>rily han class="hi2">aan>ve less. They supply an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck. This is ONLY possible if you can class="hi2">aan>n be in the world in an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>led stan class="hi2">aan>te, NOT disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ring into an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of perfection. This is the function of an class="hi2">aan> tean class="hi2">aan>cher of God. They help those who an class="hi2">aan>re less loving than class="hi2">aan>n themselves. They dissipan class="hi2">aan>te the fean class="hi2">aan>r in others. They ran class="hi2">aan>ise the dean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>l the sick. This is ONLY possible becan class="hi2">aan>use you han class="hi2">aan>ve simultan class="hi2">aan>neous Vision an class="hi2">aan>nd body sight.

Christ needs your body to rean class="hi2">aan>ch those who need rean class="hi2">aan>ching an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>L level. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re needed to demonstran class="hi2">aan>te PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>LLY symbols of truth an class="hi2">aan>nd to prove to those whose eyes an class="hi2">aan>re not open than class="hi2">aan>t there is an class="hi2">aan> better wan class="hi2">aan>y. The body is used to communican class="hi2">aan>te to those who see only bodies, than class="hi2">aan>t their spirituan class="hi2">aan>l vision man class="hi2">aan>y open. an class="hi2">Aan>nd miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re performed to liberan class="hi2">aan>te their minds from being blinded by perception of form. To demonstran class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of the world can class="hi2">aan>n be broken.

ONLY when the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ is FULLY seen, an class="hi2">aan>t the instan class="hi2">aan>nt of an class="hi2">aan>tonement, is the investment in physican class="hi2">aan>l sight COMPLETELY undone. an class="hi2">Aan>nd investment only mean class="hi2">aan>ns dependence upon an class="hi2">aan>nd belief in. The "veil" of physican class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>tter, which the body an class="hi2">aan>lone can class="hi2">aan>n see ("only the body man class="hi2">aan>kes the world seem rean class="hi2">aan>l"), an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>s thin an class="hi2">aan>nd tran class="hi2">aan>nspan class="hi2">aan>rent to the hean class="hi2">aan>led mind. It is seen through like x-ran class="hi2">aan>y vision to the light beyond.

an class="hi2">Aan>nd then eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly it van class="hi2">aan>nishes from sight completely an class="hi2">aan>s the rean class="hi2">aan>l world is seen but for an class="hi2">aan>n instan class="hi2">aan>nt. Only an class="hi2">aan>s the world is not seen an class="hi2">Aan>T an class="hi2">Aan>LL do you stop seeing sick bodies. Becan class="hi2">aan>use only an class="hi2">aan>s the BODY ITSELF is utterly tran class="hi2">aan>nscended an class="hi2">aan>nd let go does the mind an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken to an class="hi2">aan> body-less rean class="hi2">aan>lity. This mean class="hi2">aan>ns the mind goes beyond being an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ke in the drean class="hi2">aan>m (vision + body vision), an class="hi2">aan>nd returns to an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of ONLY seeing with the mind (an class="hi2">aan>nd only seeing the Kingdom of God). Than class="hi2">aan>t's whan class="hi2">aan>t it mean class="hi2">aan>ns to wan class="hi2">aan>ke up FROM drean class="hi2">aan>ming, in which for you the world ends.

This is why Jesus wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ble to wan class="hi2">aan>lk the Ean class="hi2">aan>rth in an class="hi2">aan> highly hean class="hi2">aan>led stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind, HELP OTHERS, perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles, SEE LEPERS, SEE THE DEan class="hi2">Aan>D, an class="hi2">aan>nd demonstran class="hi2">aan>te the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of God. Without his BODY'S SIGHT, he would not han class="hi2">aan>ve been an class="hi2">aan>ble to see OR communican class="hi2">aan>te with those who were limited to bodies. an class="hi2">Aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use He han class="hi2">aan>d both christ vision an class="hi2">aan>nd body sight, he could an class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> Tean class="hi2">aan>cher of God in this world, before he woke up FROM the drean class="hi2">aan>m of dean class="hi2">aan>th entirely.

"But the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ is the grean class="hi2">aan>t symbol of forgiveness. It is san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion. It is the symbol of the rean class="hi2">aan>l world. Whoever looks on this ***no longer sees the world***."

"For whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to hide the Fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ is powerless before His Man class="hi2">aan>jesty, ***an class="hi2">aan>nd disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs*** before His holy sight."

"Now there an class="hi2">aan>re no distinctions.

When Jesus san class="hi2">aan>id hean class="hi2">aan>ven is not an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce he mean class="hi2">aan>nt only it is not pan class="hi2">aan>rt of span class="hi2">aan>cetime.

In the following section He tan class="hi2">aan>lks an class="hi2">aan>bout this. Notice the section is can class="hi2">aan>lled "beyond the body", not stan class="hi2">aan>ying in the body.

"VI. Beyond the Body

1 There is nothing outside you. Than class="hi2">aan>t is whan class="hi2">aan>t you must ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely lean class="hi2">aan>rn, for it is the rean class="hi2">aan>lizan class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>t the Kingdom of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is restored to you. For God crean class="hi2">aan>ted only this, an class="hi2">aan>nd He did not depan class="hi2">aan>rt from it nor lean class="hi2">aan>ve it sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from Himself. The Kingdom of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is the dwelling plan class="hi2">aan>ce of the Son of God, who left not his Fan class="hi2">aan>ther an class="hi2">aan>nd dwells not an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt from Him. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is not an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce nor an class="hi2">aan> condition. It is merely an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of perfect Oneness, an class="hi2">aan>nd the knowledge than class="hi2">aan>t there is nothing else; nothing outside this Oneness, an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing else within."

an class="hi2">Aan>nything outside of hean class="hi2">aan>ven, which mean class="hi2">aan>ns this universe of illusions, is not pan class="hi2">aan>rt of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, is not rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd does not exist. There is no world. an class="hi2">Aan>nd "there is no life outside of hean class="hi2">aan>ven" mean class="hi2">aan>ning an class="hi2">aan>nything outside hean class="hi2">aan>ven (Ean class="hi2">aan>rth) is not life.

an class="hi2">Aan>lso, an class="hi2">aan>sk yourself this. Where is Jesus? an class="hi2">Aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rently he is not in an class="hi2">aan> body. He left bodies perman class="hi2">aan>nently 2000 yean class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>go. So where is he? You can class="hi2">aan>nnot experience hean class="hi2">aan>ven while being in an class="hi2">aan> body still. The body han class="hi2">aan>s to be disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>red in the overcoming of the illusion of dean class="hi2">aan>th, before you can class="hi2">aan>n be freed of the limitan class="hi2">aan>tions than class="hi2">aan>t the body plan class="hi2">aan>ces on an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness.

Man class="hi2">aan>ny times Jesus stan class="hi2">aan>tes "in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven."

Jesus is in hean class="hi2">aan>ven. He is not in an class="hi2">aan> body or in this universe. an class="hi2">Aan>CIM wan class="hi2">aan>s comminican class="hi2">aan>ted to Helen through chan class="hi2">aan>nneling from an class="hi2">aan>nother dimension.

Being in the reflection of hean class="hi2">aan>ven, which is the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ, in this world, is not being in hean class="hi2">aan>ven. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness ONLY of God an class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l. an class="hi2">Aan>bstran class="hi2">aan>ct, pure, holy an class="hi2">aan>nd eternan class="hi2">aan>l. "Hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>nd Ean class="hi2">aan>rth an class="hi2">aan>re opposite in every wan class="hi2">aan>y" tells us if you an class="hi2">aan>re "in Ean class="hi2">aan>rth"you an class="hi2">aan>re not in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. Otherwise God crean class="hi2">aan>ted this world, which is bullshit.

"God is in everything I see"an class="hi2">aan>pplies only to seeing the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ in this fictionan class="hi2">aan>l world, which is only prepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion for the tran class="hi2">aan>nsition to hean class="hi2">aan>ven. It does NOT mean class="hi2">aan>n God is in this world or than class="hi2">aan>t God is lurking behind its forms. Who can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>t pean class="hi2">aan>ce with dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd destruction, or an class="hi2">aan>ccuse God of crean class="hi2">aan>ting such an class="hi2">aan> cruel world, when dean class="hi2">aan>th is an class="hi2">aan> sign of han class="hi2">aan>tred? God is love, not han class="hi2">aan>te, an class="hi2">aan>nd eternan class="hi2">aan>l life does not mean class="hi2">aan>n bodies than class="hi2">aan>t suffer an class="hi2">aan>nd die.

Rean class="hi2">aan>d the lesson "no one can class="hi2">aan>n fan class="hi2">aan>il who seeks to rean class="hi2">aan>ch the truth". It tan class="hi2">aan>kes you BEYOND even the rean class="hi2">aan>l world, beyond true perception, beyond the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ, beyond the forgiven world, escorted by an class="hi2">Aan>ngels to Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. an class="hi2">Aan>nd Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys He can class="hi2">aan>n tan class="hi2">aan>ke you to Hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>ny time. He wouldn’t exan class="hi2">aan>ctly han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>nywhere to tan class="hi2">aan>ke you if being in the world mean class="hi2">aan>nt you were there an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy.

Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is not Ean class="hi2">aan>rth. Ean class="hi2">aan>rth is not rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd does not exist.

"Hean class="hi2">aan>ven reman class="hi2">aan>ins your one an class="hi2">aan>lternan class="hi2">aan>tive to this stran class="hi2">aan>nge world you man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll its wan class="hi2">aan>ys; its shifting pan class="hi2">aan>tterns an class="hi2">aan>nd uncertan class="hi2">aan>in goan class="hi2">aan>ls, its pan class="hi2">aan>inful plean class="hi2">aan>sures an class="hi2">aan>nd its tran class="hi2">aan>gic joys. God man class="hi2">aan>de no contran class="hi2">aan>dictions. Whan class="hi2">aan>t denies its own existence an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cks itself is not of Him. He did not man class="hi2">aan>ke two minds, with Hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>s the glan class="hi2">aan>d effect of one, an class="hi2">aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>rth the other's sorry outcome which is Hean class="hi2">aan>ven's opposite in every wan class="hi2">aan>y.

God does not suffer conflict. Nor is His crean class="hi2">aan>tion split in two. How could it be His Son could be in hell, when God Himself estan class="hi2">aan>blished him in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven? Could he lose whan class="hi2">aan>t the Eternan class="hi2">aan>l Will han class="hi2">aan>s given him to be his home forever? Let us not try longer to impose an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>lien will upon God's single purpose. He is here becan class="hi2">aan>use He wills to be, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t He wills is present now, beyond the rean class="hi2">aan>ch of time."

"You can class="hi2">aan>nnot fan class="hi2">aan>il todan class="hi2">aan>y. There wan class="hi2">aan>lks with you the Spirit Hean class="hi2">aan>ven sent you, than class="hi2">aan>t you might an class="hi2">aan>pproan class="hi2">aan>ch this door some dan class="hi2">aan>y, an class="hi2">aan>nd through His an class="hi2">aan>id slip effortlessly pan class="hi2">aan>st it, to the light."

There an class="hi2">aan>re plan class="hi2">aan>ces in span class="hi2">aan>cetime becan class="hi2">aan>use span class="hi2">aan>ce sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tes everything out, ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the idean class="hi2">aan> of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>ck. But you han class="hi2">aan>ve to remember, than class="hi2">aan>t span class="hi2">aan>cetime itself is nothing but an class="hi2">aan>n illusory ego belief. Span class="hi2">aan>ce time, does not exist.

Now, when Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is not an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce, he is merely referring to the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t SPan class="hi2">Aan>CETIME does not exist in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. There is no locan class="hi2">aan>lizan class="hi2">aan>tion or confinement to one an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan>, in hean class="hi2">aan>ven. There is no cut off piece of it than class="hi2">aan>t is kept an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt from others an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>belled an class="hi2">aan>s if it's not the rest. It's an class="hi2">aan>ll joined. It's one. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is one huge infinite unlimited PLan class="hi2">Aan>CE, than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s no sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te plan class="hi2">aan>ces within it. Everything is everywhere.

It's perfectly legitiman class="hi2">aan>te to san class="hi2">aan>y it is not an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce, while still not contran class="hi2">aan>dicting the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t Hean class="hi2">aan>ven IS an class="hi2">Aan> SOMEWHERE, an class="hi2">aan> locan class="hi2">aan>le, an class="hi2">aan> home, somewhere than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly BE, live, dwell, an class="hi2">aan>nd experience rean class="hi2">aan>lity. It is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> something, an class="hi2">aan> somewhere. It's just than class="hi2">aan>t it is not limited. It is an class="hi2">aan>ll things rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd everywhere rean class="hi2">aan>l.

But hean class="hi2">aan>ven is not an class="hi2">aan>n isolan class="hi2">aan>ted plan class="hi2">aan>ce. It's not an class="hi2">aan> United Stan class="hi2">aan>tes. It's not an class="hi2">aan> Russian class="hi2">aan>. It's everywhere without limit. Than class="hi2">aan>t's why it is "not an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce". It's not an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted off thing with an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>bel to distinguish it from the rest.

Especian class="hi2">aan>lly if you consider the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t span class="hi2">aan>ce-time is an class="hi2">aan> belief than class="hi2">aan>t is unrean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>n illusion. There is no span class="hi2">aan>ce or time. Both an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>de up. Which mean class="hi2">aan>ns an class="hi2">Aan>LL PLan class="hi2">Aan>CES within span class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd time do not rean class="hi2">aan>lly exist. So every single PLan class="hi2">Aan>CE than class="hi2">aan>t you ever thought of an class="hi2">aan>s being an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce, is not REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct, it is not an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. It's an class="hi2">aan> nowhere. Span class="hi2">aan>cetime is the idean class="hi2">aan> of NOT EXISTING FULLY an class="hi2">Aan>NYWHERE, which is why every "plan class="hi2">aan>ce" within it is NOT THE WHOLE.

So when you throw out span class="hi2">aan>cetime an class="hi2">aan>nd shove it in the tran class="hi2">aan>shcan class="hi2">aan>n, whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>re you left with? You an class="hi2">aan>re not left with plan class="hi2">aan>ces. You an class="hi2">aan>re not left with isolan class="hi2">aan>ted boxes an class="hi2">aan>nd confined locan class="hi2">aan>tions. You an class="hi2">aan>re only left with the only REan class="hi2">Aan>L SOMEWHERE, the only an class="hi2">Aan>CTUan class="hi2">Aan>L REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY, the only REan class="hi2">Aan>L PLan class="hi2">Aan>CE than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n be. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t is Hean class="hi2">aan>ven.

an class="hi2">Aan>bsolutely. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is the ONLY REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY, the ONLY REan class="hi2">Aan>L PLan class="hi2">Aan>CE you can class="hi2">aan>n truly exist. Than class="hi2">aan>t's why "You an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>t home in God, drean class="hi2">aan>ming of exile". You can class="hi2">aan>n't lean class="hi2">aan>ve Home. You can class="hi2">aan>n't lean class="hi2">aan>ve hean class="hi2">aan>ven. But you can class="hi2">aan>n DREan class="hi2">Aan>M of being OUTSIDE of it in an class="hi2">aan>nother WORLD, full of plan class="hi2">aan>ces, where none of those plan class="hi2">aan>ces an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>nywhere.

Where is Jesus? He is IN HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN. There an class="hi2">aan>re so man class="hi2">aan>ny references in the Course to being IN hean class="hi2">aan>ven, in stan class="hi2">aan>rk contran class="hi2">aan>st to being ON the ean class="hi2">aan>rth. Jesus man class="hi2">aan>kes it clean class="hi2">aan>r than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re two WORLDS, they an class="hi2">aan>re two PLan class="hi2">Aan>CES, they an class="hi2">aan>re OPPOSITES. "Hean class="hi2">aan>ven reman class="hi2">aan>ins the one an class="hi2">aan>lternan class="hi2">aan>tive to the stran class="hi2">aan>nge world you man class="hi2">aan>de" for exan class="hi2">aan>mple. "Ean class="hi2">aan>rth, Hean class="hi2">aan>ven's opposite in every wan class="hi2">aan>y." "Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t reman class="hi2">aan>ins."

When the world disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs, which it will, where will you be? When there is no world, where do you live? When span class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd time collan class="hi2">aan>pse into nothing, where an class="hi2">aan>re you then? When the world spins "into the nothingness from which it can class="hi2">aan>me", an class="hi2">aan>nd "gone is plan class="hi2">aan>ce, an class="hi2">aan>s well an class="hi2">aan>s time", where will you be? How will you exist SOMEWHERE, in an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l SOMEWHERE, without an class="hi2">aan>ny PLan class="hi2">Aan>CES to exist? You MUST han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> home, an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l somewhere than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n experience. Where is than class="hi2">aan>t? Where is Jesus, in his home, not of this world? He's is in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven.

Hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely 100% is an class="hi2">aan> PLan class="hi2">Aan>CE. You can class="hi2">aan>n GO THERE. You an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy an class="hi2">aan>re there but you don't rean class="hi2">aan>lize it becan class="hi2">aan>use you're sleeping an class="hi2">aan>nd pretending not to be in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. When the drean class="hi2">aan>m world stops existing, you will wan class="hi2">aan>ke up IN HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN. It's rean class="hi2">aan>lity. It's an class="hi2">aan> REan class="hi2">Aan>L PLan class="hi2">Aan>CE. It's where God lives. It's not "merely" an class="hi2">aan>n "an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of perfect oneness", an class="hi2">aan>s if to imply you will KEEP THE WORLD an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve some kind of hean class="hi2">aan>venly mindset an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time. Newsflan class="hi2">aan>sh... not possible. "You can class="hi2">aan>nnot reman class="hi2">aan>in in this world with this knowledge."

There is no world. Centran class="hi2">aan>l lesson. The world is NOT an class="hi2">Aan> REan class="hi2">Aan>L PLan class="hi2">Aan>CE. When there is no world, the ONLY PLan class="hi2">Aan>CE LEFT, to live an class="hi2">aan>nd experience an class="hi2">aan>nd be rean class="hi2">aan>l, is Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is THE ONLY PLan class="hi2">Aan>CE THan class="hi2">Aan>T EXISTS. There is no other plan class="hi2">aan>ce. an class="hi2">Aan>ll other plan class="hi2">aan>ces an class="hi2">aan>re illusions.

So an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely, it is fan class="hi2">aan>lse to interpret Jesus an class="hi2">aan>s san class="hi2">aan>ying than class="hi2">aan>t Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is NOT an class="hi2">Aan> PLan class="hi2">Aan>CE. Than class="hi2">aan>t's not whan class="hi2">aan>t He mean class="hi2">aan>ns. He mean class="hi2">aan>ns only than class="hi2">aan>t it is not SPan class="hi2">Aan>TIan class="hi2">Aan>L. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in than class="hi2">aan>t He an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>cknowledges than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>LL SPan class="hi2">Aan>TIan class="hi2">Aan>L PLan class="hi2">Aan>CES an class="hi2">Aan>RE ILLUSIONS, which is why Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is NOT an class="hi2">Aan>N ILLUSORY PLan class="hi2">Aan>CE. It's rean class="hi2">aan>l.

It's your home. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it's the ONLY plan class="hi2">aan>ce than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n ever rean class="hi2">aan>lly exist.

Notice the quote an class="hi2">aan>lso ends "Nothing OUTSIDE this Oneness, an class="hi2">aan>nd NOTHING ELSE within." Which mean class="hi2">aan>ns hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce does not coexist with THE ILLUSORY WORLD. There is NO WORLD outside the oneness of hean class="hi2">aan>ven, the plan class="hi2">aan>ce of hean class="hi2">aan>ven. The world you THINK exists right now, is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of being outside the Kingdom. It does not exist. It is not HERE NOW. You an class="hi2">aan>re not in an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce NOW. You WILL be in an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce when you wan class="hi2">aan>ke up to rean class="hi2">aan>lity.

A completely new model of a course in miracles

I've come up with an class="hi2">aan> new model of an class="hi2">Aan>CIM which promises to resolve numerous contran class="hi2">aan>dictions an class="hi2">aan>nd potentian class="hi2">aan>lly unite the two man class="hi2">aan>jor can class="hi2">aan>mps: those who believe they can class="hi2">aan>n experience hean class="hi2">aan>ven while in the drean class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan>nd those who believe hean class="hi2">aan>ven is elsewhere.

In this model, think of "the world you man class="hi2">aan>de" an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> room with no windows, like an class="hi2">aan> prison cell. You an class="hi2">aan>re currently in the room, perceiving the inside wan class="hi2">aan>lls of the room. This is "fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception". Everything inside than class="hi2">aan>t room is fan class="hi2">aan>lse. "The world is fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception." You an class="hi2">aan>re blinded by perception of form an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>nnot see pan class="hi2">aan>st the wan class="hi2">aan>lls.

an class="hi2">Aan>s you develop true perception, the wan class="hi2">aan>lls stan class="hi2">aan>rt to become TRan class="hi2">Aan>NSPan class="hi2">Aan>RENT, an class="hi2">aan>nd you stan class="hi2">aan>rt to see BEYOND them. You an class="hi2">aan>re IN the world, SEEING THROUGH IT, to something OUTSIDE it. This is whan class="hi2">aan>t it mean class="hi2">aan>ns to OVERLOOK ie forgive the world. By forgiving the Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE world, you become an class="hi2">aan>ble to SEE the TRUE world. The true world is Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is outside of the room. But you can class="hi2">aan>n SEE IT, from inside the room, using perception. True perception/christ vision is Can class="hi2">Aan>Pan class="hi2">Aan>BLE OF SEEING REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY.

This is ban class="hi2">aan>cked up by stan class="hi2">aan>tements such an class="hi2">aan>s "God is in everything I see", than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n "see the son of God", han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> "vision of God", "see the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ", etc. To be an class="hi2">aan>ble to SEE these things, you MUST be seeing rean class="hi2">aan>lity directly with perception. Which mean class="hi2">aan>ns you an class="hi2">aan>re inside the drean class="hi2">aan>m, peering OUTSIDE OF IT from the inside out.

This an class="hi2">aan>lso entan class="hi2">aan>ils an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>jor an class="hi2">aan>djustment to older models. "The rean class="hi2">aan>l world" is an class="hi2">aan> synonym for HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN. It is correctly lan class="hi2">aan>belled an class="hi2">aan>s REan class="hi2">Aan>L becan class="hi2">aan>use it is rean class="hi2">aan>l. When you PERCEIVE "the rean class="hi2">aan>l world" you an class="hi2">aan>re literan class="hi2">aan>lly perceiving hean class="hi2">aan>ven. This is an class="hi2">aan>lso ban class="hi2">aan>cked up by stan class="hi2">aan>tements san class="hi2">aan>ying it is only possible to SEE whan class="hi2">aan>t REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY EXISTS, which MUST mean class="hi2">aan>n it is rean class="hi2">aan>lity you an class="hi2">aan>re seeing.

Perception Can class="hi2">Aan>N SEE REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY. But you han class="hi2">aan>ve to an class="hi2">aan>lso remember than class="hi2">aan>t "perception is an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted stan class="hi2">aan>te". Therefore perception is han class="hi2">aan>ppening FROM INSIDE the drean class="hi2">aan>m of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, LOOKING an class="hi2">Aan>T WHan class="hi2">Aan>T'S OUTSIDE OF IT. When you an class="hi2">aan>re NOT blinded by the Wan class="hi2">Aan>LLS of the drean class="hi2">aan>m world, you han class="hi2">aan>ve true perception. When you can class="hi2">aan>nnot see Pan class="hi2">Aan>ST the illusions of form, you han class="hi2">aan>ve fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception.

We an class="hi2">aan>lso han class="hi2">aan>ve to remember an class="hi2">aan> couple of key fan class="hi2">aan>cts.

1. Perception of the truth is not the san class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>s knowledge. Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns you can class="hi2">aan>n perceive hean class="hi2">aan>ven, but this perception is kind of an class="hi2">aan>n "iman class="hi2">aan>ge" of hean class="hi2">aan>ven. an class="hi2">Aan> vision. This perception is not the san class="hi2">aan>me thing an class="hi2">aan>s being IN hean class="hi2">aan>ven. It is not cognition or knowledge or certan class="hi2">aan>inty or communion. But, it's kind of like window shopping. You an class="hi2">aan>re on the street (in the fan class="hi2">aan>lse physican class="hi2">aan>l world of fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception), looking through the window of the Kingdom of God (overlooking the world, forgiving the world, seeing beyond the veil), an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re looking INTO or an class="hi2">Aan>T the contents of the Kingdom (seeing the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ).

2. It is necessan class="hi2">aan>ry to still an class="hi2">aan>ccept than class="hi2">aan>t the Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE world IS an class="hi2">Aan>N ILLUSION. The physican class="hi2">aan>l world. "The world of bodies is the world of sin" "The world you see is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of an class="hi2">aan> world, God did not crean class="hi2">aan>te it" "The world will spin into the nothingness from which it can class="hi2">aan>me" "There is no world" etc an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll STILL TRUE of this world of forms, bodies, plan class="hi2">aan>nets. "The world is fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception" mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t if you LOOK an class="hi2">Aan>T THIS WORLD, you an class="hi2">aan>re han class="hi2">aan>ving fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns you han class="hi2">aan>ve to LOOK an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>Y FROM this world, an class="hi2">aan>nd look an class="hi2">Aan>T HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN.

This is an class="hi2">aan>lso totan class="hi2">aan>lly ban class="hi2">aan>cked up by stan class="hi2">aan>tements an class="hi2">aan>bout not being an class="hi2">aan>ble to see two worlds. There an class="hi2">Aan>RE two worlds. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven/rean class="hi2">aan>lity, an class="hi2">aan>nd the illusory world. Sight of one costs you sight of the other becan class="hi2">aan>use they deny ean class="hi2">aan>ch other. This does not mean class="hi2">aan>n TWO VIEWS OF THIS WORLD. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns if you see this world in an class="hi2">Aan>NY wan class="hi2">aan>y you an class="hi2">aan>re han class="hi2">aan>ving fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception, an class="hi2">aan>nd sight of THIS world is costing you sight OF HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">Aan>NOTHER WORLD. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in order for this world to disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r from your sight, hean class="hi2">aan>ven must BECOME VISIBLE.

This is an class="hi2">aan>lso totan class="hi2">aan>lly ban class="hi2">aan>cked up by the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t The Holy Spirit loves to LOOK UPON CHRIST. He is using PERCEPTION, to look an class="hi2">Aan>T CHRIST. Christ in IN HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN! The Holy Spirit is han class="hi2">aan>ving true perception OF CHRIST IN HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN. Than class="hi2">aan>t proves than class="hi2">aan>t true perception MUST be can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of brean class="hi2">aan>king out of the physican class="hi2">aan>l world, looking beyond the veil of forms (wan class="hi2">aan>ll of sin), an class="hi2">aan>nd must be can class="hi2">aan>ble of looking direct an class="hi2">Aan>T REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY. an class="hi2">Aan>t Christ. Who is in hean class="hi2">aan>ven.

There an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> number of stan class="hi2">aan>tements in the course which previously an class="hi2">aan>lluded to being an class="hi2">aan>ble to perceive holiness, rean class="hi2">aan>lity, christ, god etc from INSIDE the drean class="hi2">aan>m. an class="hi2">Aan>nd some people lan class="hi2">aan>tched on this since it correlan class="hi2">aan>ted to their experience an class="hi2">aan>nd much of whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens in the workbook, an class="hi2">aan>nd it SEEMED to imply than class="hi2">aan>t God must somehow be an class="hi2">aan>ble to be SEEN from within this world. There is van class="hi2">aan>lidity in those stan class="hi2">aan>tements (e.g. God is in everything I see etc), BUT the conclusion dran class="hi2">aan>wn from than class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan> polan class="hi2">aan>rized ego conclusion ban class="hi2">aan>sed on thinking of THE ROOM (the world you man class="hi2">aan>de) an class="hi2">aan>s being REan class="hi2">Aan>L. an class="hi2">Aan>S if to san class="hi2">aan>y, perception an class="hi2">Aan>BOUT the inside of the room can class="hi2">aan>n chan class="hi2">aan>nge from fan class="hi2">aan>lse to true, in order to try to man class="hi2">aan>ke sense of the seeming references to SEEING rean class="hi2">aan>l stuff. But than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse conclusion ban class="hi2">aan>sed on exclusive boxes.

an class="hi2">Aan>lso in the old models people often thought of "the rean class="hi2">aan>l world" an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> reference to some kind of in-between stan class="hi2">aan>te, still illusory (thus inan class="hi2">aan>pproprian class="hi2">aan>tely nan class="hi2">aan>med) an class="hi2">aan>nd NOT the san class="hi2">aan>me thing an class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>lity itself. I suggest than class="hi2">aan>t is wrong, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN is an class="hi2">aan> the an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l "rean class="hi2">aan>l world". When we han class="hi2">aan>ve perceptions OF "the rean class="hi2">aan>l world", we an class="hi2">aan>re seeing HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN ITSELF. We an class="hi2">aan>re looking OUTSIDE OF the drean class="hi2">aan>m, from the inside. This is an class="hi2">aan>lso ban class="hi2">aan>cked up by the fan class="hi2">aan>ct there is an class="hi2">aan> quote an class="hi2">aan>bout the rean class="hi2">aan>l world which spean class="hi2">aan>ks of there being no bodies, no streets an class="hi2">aan>nd stores, no dan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>nd night (no sun) etc... which is an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te of HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN. The IMan class="hi2">Aan>GE of the rean class="hi2">aan>l world than class="hi2">aan>t perception SEES, is SEEING hean class="hi2">aan>ven, an class="hi2">aan>nd the IMan class="hi2">Aan>GE is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion, but the world it is looking an class="hi2">Aan>T is rean class="hi2">aan>lity!

This is an class="hi2">aan>lso then helps us to see than class="hi2">aan>t not only can class="hi2">aan>n you LOOK OUTSIDE OF THE DREan class="hi2">Aan>M from the inside, but an class="hi2">aan>lso the LIGHT OF HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN can class="hi2">aan>n shine INTO or upon the drean class="hi2">aan>m from the outside in. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t TOO is ban class="hi2">aan>cked up by van class="hi2">aan>rious quotes. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is sprean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>cross the world but you do not see it etc. The world seems to become holy. You shine your light upon the world by "reflecting it here" within yourself, etc. Becan class="hi2">aan>use the CEILING on top of the room, is only SOLID when you han class="hi2">aan>ve fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception. The ceiling becomes TRan class="hi2">Aan>NSPan class="hi2">Aan>RENT when you han class="hi2">aan>ve true perception, an class="hi2">aan>llowing you to SEE OUT (like an class="hi2">aan> window onto rean class="hi2">aan>lity), an class="hi2">Aan>ND an class="hi2">aan>llowing the light to PENETRan class="hi2">Aan>TE the world. This is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of how "eternity will shine an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y the world." When we think of the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>rth an class="hi2">aan>s SOLID we an class="hi2">aan>rrive an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse conclusion than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>nnot experience God an class="hi2">Aan>T an class="hi2">Aan>LL in the world, which is incorrect.

an class="hi2">Aan> forgiven world, similan class="hi2">aan>rly, must be correctly understood. "To forgive is to overlook" Overlooking THE Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE WORLD, "the world is fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception", mean class="hi2">aan>ns overlooking the PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>L WORLD, overlooking bodies ("you're brother's rean class="hi2">aan>lity is beyond his body"), "forgiveness does not look upon bodies" etc... an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore to FORGIVE the world, does not mean class="hi2">aan>n keep LOOKING an class="hi2">Aan>T IT in an class="hi2">aan> more loving wan class="hi2">aan>y. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns to OVERLOOK it, see Pan class="hi2">Aan>ST it, an class="hi2">aan>nd LOOK an class="hi2">Aan>T HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN. The rean class="hi2">aan>lity of hean class="hi2">aan>ven is whan class="hi2">aan>t true perception (spirituan class="hi2">aan>l sight) sees. It is an class="hi2">aan> perception of SPIRIT. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this mean class="hi2">aan>ns the physican class="hi2">aan>l veil of illusions, wan class="hi2">aan>ll of sin, wan class="hi2">aan>ll of flesh etc an class="hi2">aan>ll han class="hi2">aan>s to Van class="hi2">Aan>NISH from your sight. This han class="hi2">aan>ppens when you SEE CHRIST (fan class="hi2">aan>ce of christ). The world is FORGOTTEN.

Than class="hi2">aan>t's whan class="hi2">aan>t it mean class="hi2">aan>ns to forgive the world. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns to RECOGNIZE the WORLD IS Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE. an class="hi2">Aan>nd to put an class="hi2">Aan>LL of your an class="hi2">aan>ttention ON REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY. To look an class="hi2">Aan>T rean class="hi2">aan>lity, bypan class="hi2">aan>ssing this world an class="hi2">aan>nd seeing the truth which is BEYOND IT. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re "fan class="hi2">aan>lling in love with" an class="hi2">aan>s you wan class="hi2">aan>ke up, isn't the Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE world, it's HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN! You an class="hi2">aan>re stan class="hi2">aan>rting to become an class="hi2">aan>ble to SEE REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is WHERE the bean class="hi2">aan>uty, light, an class="hi2">aan>nd love an class="hi2">aan>re. Your an class="hi2">aan>bility to SEE IT, "in" the world, overlan class="hi2">aan>id on the world, is whan class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes the world seem lovely. But it is HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re in love with, not an class="hi2">aan>n illusory world of forms. Proven here:

"God's tean class="hi2">aan>chers choose to look on drean class="hi2">aan>ms an class="hi2">aan> while (the fan class="hi2">aan>lse world/physican class="hi2">aan>l world)...The drean class="hi2">aan>m san class="hi2">aan>ys otherwise, but who would put his fan class="hi2">aan>ith in drean class="hi2">aan>ms once they an class="hi2">aan>re recognized for whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re?...an class="hi2">Aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of drean class="hi2">aan>ming is the rean class="hi2">aan>l function of God's tean class="hi2">aan>chers. They wan class="hi2">aan>tch the drean class="hi2">aan>m figures come an class="hi2">aan>nd go, shift an class="hi2">aan>nd chan class="hi2">aan>nge, suffer an class="hi2">aan>nd die.Yet they an class="hi2">aan>re ***not deceived by whan class="hi2">aan>t they see*** (not tempted, not believing in the world)....Unity an class="hi2">aan>lone is not an class="hi2">aan> thing of drean class="hi2">aan>ms. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it is this God's tean class="hi2">aan>chers an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge an class="hi2">aan>s ***behind the drean class="hi2">aan>m***, beyond an class="hi2">aan>ll seeming an class="hi2">aan>nd yet surely theirs."

Unity, is rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Unity, is hean class="hi2">aan>ven. Unity is the an class="hi2">Aan>CTUan class="hi2">Aan>LLY REan class="hi2">Aan>L WORLD of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. The Kingdom of God. Which is BEHIND the drean class="hi2">aan>m world. The drean class="hi2">aan>m world is Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE, an class="hi2">aan>s in there is no world. EVERYTHING in the physican class="hi2">aan>l world is fan class="hi2">aan>lse. It is an class="hi2">aan>ll illusion. You an class="hi2">aan>re not supposed to try to man class="hi2">aan>ke it rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd keep it an class="hi2">aan>nd dress it up an class="hi2">aan>nd turn it into hean class="hi2">aan>ven. It is an class="hi2">aan> veil of illusions. It is NOTHING. You an class="hi2">aan>re mean class="hi2">aan>nt to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to STOP BEING DISTRan class="hi2">Aan>CTED BY IT, an class="hi2">aan>nd LOOK an class="hi2">Aan>T SOMETHING ELSE. Look an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>NOTHER WORLD entirely. You an class="hi2">aan>re in THIS world, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to SEE an class="hi2">Aan>NOTHER WORLD BEYOND IT.

So the model is quite simple. You're in an class="hi2">aan> seemingly solid room with no windows. You gran class="hi2">aan>duan class="hi2">aan>lly lean class="hi2">aan>rn to LOOK THROUGH THE Wan class="hi2">Aan>LLS, an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>rt to see an class="hi2">Aan>NOTHER WORLD outside of the room. When the wan class="hi2">aan>lls become totan class="hi2">aan>lly tran class="hi2">aan>nspan class="hi2">aan>rent you will SEE CHRIST an class="hi2">aan>nd will SEE GOD "in" everything you see (beyond it, not hidden by it), an class="hi2">aan>nd then ..... when you an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>dy, you will GET OUT OF THE ROOM. Lean class="hi2">aan>ving the room is whan class="hi2">aan>t tan class="hi2">aan>kes you BEYOND THE Wan class="hi2">Aan>LLS, an class="hi2">aan>nd immerses you directly in the REan class="hi2">Aan>L WORLD OF HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN than class="hi2">aan>t you were SEEING WITH PERCEPTION prior to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening. You first window shop an class="hi2">aan>nd SEE rean class="hi2">aan>lity, then you go BE IN IT. "Gone is perception". an class="hi2">Aan>nd of course there is no rean class="hi2">aan>l "going" becan class="hi2">aan>use you simply rean class="hi2">aan>lize YOU an class="hi2">Aan>RE EVERYWHERE an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys BEEN in hean class="hi2">aan>ven, an class="hi2">aan>nd THE ROOM DOES NOT EXIST. The world is gone, rean class="hi2">aan>lity is your home.

I believe this fan class="hi2">aan>r more an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>tely encan class="hi2">aan>psulan class="hi2">aan>tes whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>CIM is san class="hi2">aan>ying. I believe there is not one single quote which spean class="hi2">aan>ks an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst this from an class="hi2">aan>ny perspective. Especian class="hi2">aan>lly, this BRINGS HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN CLOSER to those who an class="hi2">aan>re IN the drean class="hi2">aan>m (room), becan class="hi2">aan>use it mean class="hi2">aan>ns even while you an class="hi2">aan>re drean class="hi2">aan>ming, you can class="hi2">aan>n to some degree EXPERIENCE hean class="hi2">aan>ven through perception. You can class="hi2">aan>n SEE HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN while in an class="hi2">aan> body. BUT.... if you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to be totan class="hi2">aan>lly immersed in it, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to lean class="hi2">aan>ve the body, lean class="hi2">aan>ve the fan class="hi2">aan>lse world, lean class="hi2">aan>ve the room, an class="hi2">aan>nd become expan class="hi2">aan>nded everywhere. "Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is the dwelling plan class="hi2">aan>ce of the son of God." "There is no world."

It still an class="hi2">aan>ccounts for the two levels which an class="hi2">aan>re Rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd Unrean class="hi2">aan>lity, true an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>lse, light an class="hi2">aan>nd dan class="hi2">aan>rk, hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>nd hell, God's world an class="hi2">aan>nd the world you man class="hi2">aan>de. These an class="hi2">Aan>RE the two levels, not "two wan class="hi2">aan>ys to perceive an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse world." It still incorporan class="hi2">aan>tes an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>spects of perceiving in recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception is an class="hi2">aan>n inan class="hi2">aan>bility to see pan class="hi2">aan>st wan class="hi2">aan>lls, while true perception overlooks wan class="hi2">aan>lls an class="hi2">aan>nd sees whan class="hi2">aan>t is beyond them. It supports everything san class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>bout the an class="hi2">aan>bility to SEE REan class="hi2">Aan>L STUFF. "Perception can class="hi2">aan>n rean class="hi2">aan>ch everywhere under the guidan class="hi2">aan>nce of the holy spirit" (even to rean class="hi2">aan>lity).

It an class="hi2">aan>lso supports the EXPERIENCES people han class="hi2">aan>ve han class="hi2">aan>d (me included) IN this world such an class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ving visions of God, seeing Christ in others, SEEING love everywhere, etc. an class="hi2">Aan>ND it still supports the lan class="hi2">aan>rger model than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re to Wan class="hi2">Aan>KE UP FROM some kind of drean class="hi2">aan>m world to an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>lity than class="hi2">aan>t were were becoming gran class="hi2">aan>duan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of prior to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening. You can class="hi2">aan>n essentian class="hi2">aan>lly PERCEIVE or "perceptuan class="hi2">aan>lly experience" rean class="hi2">aan>lity while in an class="hi2">aan> body in this world. BUT if you wan class="hi2">aan>nt the TOTan class="hi2">Aan>L communion with God, knowledge, an class="hi2">aan>bsolute wan class="hi2">aan>kening, totan class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>lity, WITHOUT perception (becan class="hi2">aan>use "those who perceive still need hean class="hi2">aan>ling"), you han class="hi2">aan>ve to TRan class="hi2">Aan>NSCEND THE ROOM, an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>ke up in infinite rean class="hi2">aan>lity. "Nothing seen, only know." Becan class="hi2">aan>use then, you no longer han class="hi2">aan>ve perception, nor do you need it.

Han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> think an class="hi2">aan>bout it. Open your mind. Put an class="hi2">aan>side "tran class="hi2">aan>ditionan class="hi2">aan>l" an class="hi2">Aan>CIM models. Consider this. I think it unites the two can class="hi2">aan>mps quite an class="hi2">aan> lot an class="hi2">aan>nd it an class="hi2">aan>lso is wholly inclusive of an class="hi2">Aan>LL an class="hi2">Aan>CIM STan class="hi2">Aan>TEMENTS, something which could not be san class="hi2">aan>id for the older models.

Enlightenment is but a recognition and not a change at all

There isn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>nything than class="hi2">aan>t you need to do an class="hi2">aan>bout the ego. It's rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of recognition. You simply don't an class="hi2">aan>s yet recognize it for whan class="hi2">aan>t it IS, an class="hi2">aan>nd you think it is something else.

Recognition requires you to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> full picture, an class="hi2">aan>ll the informan class="hi2">aan>tion, nothing hidden, nothing missing. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in this light of the whole truth, everything is put into its proper perspective.

In this perspective, which is san class="hi2">aan>nity an class="hi2">aan>nd true perception, there is simply an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of whan class="hi2">aan>t the ego IS. With no delusions an class="hi2">aan>bout it. The fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t it is an class="hi2">aan> lie, an class="hi2">aan>nd there is no ego. Than class="hi2">aan>t the ego is fan class="hi2">aan>lse an class="hi2">aan>nd unrean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd doesn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly exist.

In recognition, it simply becomes an class="hi2">aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rent than class="hi2">aan>t the ego never rean class="hi2">aan>lly wan class="hi2">aan>s there an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now you can class="hi2">aan>n see the sense in this. It's the idean class="hi2">aan> of nothing, which for an class="hi2">aan> while seemed to be something else wh

ile you were confused an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>iling to recognize illusions for whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re.

So it's like, when you get into the recognition stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind, the ego is properly fran class="hi2">aan>med, an class="hi2">aan>nd everything is in its right plan class="hi2">aan>ce, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is fan class="hi2">aan>lse is obviously fan class="hi2">aan>lse, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is true is obviously true, an class="hi2">aan>nd it tan class="hi2">aan>kes no effort whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever to man class="hi2">aan>ke it be than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>y. Becan class="hi2">aan>use the ego just IS fan class="hi2">aan>lse an class="hi2">aan>nd it never can class="hi2">aan>n be true.

You don't han class="hi2">aan>ve to man class="hi2">aan>ke the ego be fan class="hi2">aan>lse, you don't han class="hi2">aan>ve to do an class="hi2">aan>nything to chan class="hi2">aan>nge its mean class="hi2">aan>ning. It simply an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy is fan class="hi2">aan>lse. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so an class="hi2">aan>ll you end up doing is just noticing its nan class="hi2">aan>ture an class="hi2">aan>nd dismissing it becan class="hi2">aan>use it obviously is an class="hi2">aan>bsurdly impossible.

It doesn't require you to fight with it, chan class="hi2">aan>nge it, an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck it, try to man class="hi2">aan>ke it into something else, or to do an class="hi2">aan>nything to it an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. You simply need to get an class="hi2">aan> good clean class="hi2">aan>r look an class="hi2">aan>t it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in than class="hi2">aan>t clan class="hi2">aan>rity it is shown to be only whan class="hi2">aan>t it is, nothing more an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing less.

an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t is the recognition of san class="hi2">aan>nity, which is enlightenment. The simply recognizing of whan class="hi2">aan>t is rean class="hi2">aan>lly true, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly fan class="hi2">aan>lse. The finan class="hi2">aan>l sorting out of whether or not the world exists. Whan class="hi2">aan>t is is man class="hi2">aan>de of. Whether it's even possible than class="hi2">aan>t it's han class="hi2">aan>ppening. an class="hi2">Aan>nd whether you an class="hi2">aan>re deceived to wan class="hi2">aan>nt something it seems to offer in man class="hi2">aan>dness.

Until you get to an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce of complete simple "an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te perception", an class="hi2">aan>s Jesus can class="hi2">aan>lls is, looking stran class="hi2">aan>ight an class="hi2">aan>nd honestly an class="hi2">aan>nd not being deceived or distorted or confused or distran class="hi2">aan>cted or lost or insan class="hi2">aan>ne, you'll proban class="hi2">aan>bly be unsure an class="hi2">aan>bout the world, an class="hi2">aan>nd the body, an class="hi2">aan>nd the ego.

They'll seem to han class="hi2">aan>ve properties they don't han class="hi2">aan>ve. They'll seem rean class="hi2">aan>l, han class="hi2">aan>ppening, true, existing. They'll seem to be an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l threan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nd dan class="hi2">aan>nger. They'll seem to be an class="hi2">aan>live. They'll seem an class="hi2">aan> whole bunch of things than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re not, becan class="hi2">aan>use you do not recognize them for whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re. You an class="hi2">aan>re deceived by them.

an class="hi2">Aan>nd recognition brings with it the clan class="hi2">aan>rity of simply "knowing" or being in an class="hi2">aan>lignment with knowing whan class="hi2">aan>t it IS an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t it ISN'T. Becan class="hi2">aan>use true perception is simple an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te seeing or rean class="hi2">aan>lity-vision. Truthful perception. Honest perception. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t you need in order to be san class="hi2">aan>ne. Plus the willingness to an class="hi2">aan>ccept it.

To an class="hi2">aan>dmit an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccept the truth, which is to an class="hi2">aan>ccept the an class="hi2">aan>tonement, is simply to recognize whan class="hi2">aan>t is true an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is fan class="hi2">aan>lse with no confusion between them. The spirituan class="hi2">aan>l pan class="hi2">aan>th entan class="hi2">aan>ils the sorting out of which is which, the undoing of than class="hi2">aan>t confusion, an class="hi2">aan>nd getting everything stran class="hi2">aan>ightened out in your mind.

Once you get an class="hi2">aan> finan class="hi2">aan>l look an class="hi2">aan>t the truth an class="hi2">aan>bout this world, the body, the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th, you will never tan class="hi2">aan>ke it seriously ever an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in. You'll remember to lan class="hi2">aan>ugh an class="hi2">aan>t its utter ridiculousness. You'll recognize its impossibility. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you'll not even give it an class="hi2">aan> second glan class="hi2">aan>nce an class="hi2">aan>s you return home to God.

"Illusions recognized must disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r."

Once I got home I found, for sure, it wan class="hi2">aan>s not stran class="hi2">aan>wberry, but ran class="hi2">aan>ther an class="hi2">aan> 'stran class="hi2">aan>wberry-man class="hi2">aan>ngo' combinan class="hi2">aan>tion. It tan class="hi2">aan>sted like an class="hi2">aan> mix of stran class="hi2">aan>wberries an class="hi2">aan>nd oran class="hi2">aan>nge juice. I know right. So I wan class="hi2">aan>s bummed. an class="hi2">Aan>nd I found Culvers guilty, an class="hi2">aan>nd I blan class="hi2">aan>med them, an class="hi2">aan>nd I felt victimized.

So. Let's remember the contran class="hi2">aan>ct I man class="hi2">aan>de. I han class="hi2">aan>d guilt in me an class="hi2">aan>bout my wife. I chose to enter an class="hi2">aan> contran class="hi2">aan>ct with Culvers to be victimized, in exchan class="hi2">aan>nge for being permitted to project my guilt onto them - guilt an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan> completely different subject. I wan class="hi2">aan>s victimized by their nan class="hi2">aan>sty man class="hi2">aan>ngo-infused flan class="hi2">aan>vor an class="hi2">aan>djustment an class="hi2">aan>nd given something "I did not an class="hi2">aan>sk for", I wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n "innocent victim", unfan class="hi2">aan>irly trean class="hi2">aan>ted, an class="hi2">aan>nd righteously an class="hi2">aan>ngry. In exchan class="hi2">aan>nge, becan class="hi2">aan>use this is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the contran class="hi2">aan>ct, they got to victimize me, an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck me with an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, tan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y whan class="hi2">aan>t I wan class="hi2">aan>nted, an class="hi2">aan>nd generan class="hi2">aan>lly upset me. It wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ir exchan class="hi2">aan>nge.

So then, lan class="hi2">aan>ter in bed, I decided with Holy Spirit I would use this idean class="hi2">aan> of an class="hi2">aan> contran class="hi2">aan>ct to end the contran class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>nd choose forgiveness instean class="hi2">aan>d.

I looked an class="hi2">aan>t the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t I put my guilt onto Culvers an class="hi2">aan>nd chose to pan class="hi2">aan>rticipan class="hi2">aan>te in an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>ngement where I found them guilty in exchan class="hi2">aan>nge for being an class="hi2">aan> victim ie permitted to project it onto them so than class="hi2">aan>t I could be relieved of my guilt (fan class="hi2">aan>ke innocence), an class="hi2">aan>nd they could victimize me in return. Even though I did not seem to wan class="hi2">aan>nt the victimizan class="hi2">aan>tion, I han class="hi2">aan>d to an class="hi2">aan>dmit, I did an class="hi2">aan>gree to it. I an class="hi2">aan>greed to the terms of the contran class="hi2">aan>ct. I wan class="hi2">aan>nted to be victimized, therefore. I san class="hi2">aan>w how I put my guilt onto them an class="hi2">aan>nd blan class="hi2">aan>med them, so now I han class="hi2">aan>d to tan class="hi2">aan>ke it ban class="hi2">aan>ck.

To get out of the contran class="hi2">aan>ct you han class="hi2">aan>ve to tan class="hi2">aan>ke ban class="hi2">aan>ck the projected guilt, BUT, this mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n no longer an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r to han class="hi2">aan>ve 'fan class="hi2">aan>ke innocence'. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns YOU han class="hi2">aan>ve to be found guilty an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in, which is not very an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ling. However, there is an class="hi2">aan> chan class="hi2">aan>nce than class="hi2">aan>t if you do this, you will be in the running for being an class="hi2">aan>ble to an class="hi2">aan>ccess REan class="hi2">Aan>L innocence lan class="hi2">aan>ter. So I an class="hi2">aan>ffirmed, Culvers is not guilty, it is not THEIR guilt I an class="hi2">aan>m seeing, it is MY guilt than class="hi2">aan>t I projected onto them. They we're just an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking me becan class="hi2">aan>use I an class="hi2">aan>sked for it in exchan class="hi2">aan>nge for guilt. I tan class="hi2">aan>ke ban class="hi2">aan>ck MY guilt than class="hi2">aan>t I put onto them, an class="hi2">aan>nd I see them an class="hi2">aan>s innocent. They an class="hi2">aan>re innocent an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve done nothing wrong, done nothing to me, an class="hi2">aan>nd their mistan class="hi2">aan>ke is forgivean class="hi2">aan>ble.

Than class="hi2">aan>nk you Culvers for pan class="hi2">aan>rticipan class="hi2">aan>ting an class="hi2">aan>mican class="hi2">aan>bly in the contran class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>nd serving me fan class="hi2">aan>ithfully on the terms, an class="hi2">aan>nd giving me the victimizan class="hi2">aan>tion I an class="hi2">aan>greed to. I set you free. Than class="hi2">aan>nk you.

So now, I'm left holding the guilt. Its my guilt. Ok. Not fun. I feel it. I an class="hi2">aan>m guilty. I recognize this is the guilt an class="hi2">aan>bout my wife than class="hi2">aan>t I wan class="hi2">aan>nted to get rid of. But now I an class="hi2">aan>m in an class="hi2">aan> position to exercise the exit clan class="hi2">aan>use which san class="hi2">aan>ys, if I an class="hi2">aan>m willing to go to the 'judge' (Holy Spirit) an class="hi2">aan>nd tan class="hi2">aan>ke my can class="hi2">aan>se of guilt to Him an class="hi2">aan>nd present it to Him, an class="hi2">Aan>ND be willing to an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPT whan class="hi2">aan>tever His verdict is, there is an class="hi2">aan> chan class="hi2">aan>nce than class="hi2">aan>t I might be found innocent.

So this mean class="hi2">aan>ns I an class="hi2">aan>pproan class="hi2">aan>ch Holy Spirit. So I go up to Holy Spirit in my mind an class="hi2">aan>nd I stan class="hi2">aan>rt to show Him an class="hi2">aan>ll the 'evidence' of why I an class="hi2">aan>m guilty, an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t I think I did, even the 'sin' than class="hi2">aan>t lies undernean class="hi2">aan>th it, an class="hi2">aan>nd I offer it up. This requires than class="hi2">aan>t I be OPEN. I han class="hi2">aan>ve to be OPEN to SHan class="hi2">Aan>RE it with Him an class="hi2">aan>nd show it to Him an class="hi2">aan>nd let Him see it. It's kind of like being the prosecutor an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst yourself, showing an class="hi2">aan>ll the evidence of whan class="hi2">aan>t you did an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>dmitting to it - but an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st in an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>tmosphere than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>t this point found guilty - the verdict is still undecided.

So I do than class="hi2">aan>t. I tell Him, Holy Spirit, I an class="hi2">aan>m guilty becan class="hi2">aan>use I did an class="hi2">aan>ll this stuff an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>ll this stuff an class="hi2">aan>nd felt ban class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>bout it an class="hi2">aan>nd it proves I'm not innocent. Whan class="hi2">aan>t do YOU think of this? How do YOU see this? Whan class="hi2">aan>t is YOUR verdict of me?

He san class="hi2">aan>id, in my mind, "not guilty". I then rean class="hi2">aan>lized than class="hi2">aan>t I needed to an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPT His opinion, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns I han class="hi2">aan>ve to be pretty open minded becan class="hi2">aan>use I han class="hi2">aan>ve to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly be willing to SUSPEND my own belief in my own guilt IF He san class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t's whan class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m to do. I han class="hi2">aan>ve to be open to go an class="hi2">aan>long with whan class="hi2">aan>t He san class="hi2">aan>ys. So I become willing to surrender the guilt, I an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPT THE an class="hi2">Aan>TONEMENT - ie I an class="hi2">aan>ccept than class="hi2">aan>t I rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">Aan>M innocent, an class="hi2">aan>nd then...

My hean class="hi2">aan>d stan class="hi2">aan>rts to shan class="hi2">aan>ke, my an class="hi2">aan>rms wiggle, my han class="hi2">aan>nds tremble. I mean class="hi2">aan>n, for rean class="hi2">aan>l. This is the Holy Spirit working to remove the guilt. I offered it up. He hean class="hi2">aan>led it. Seemingly without doing an class="hi2">aan>nything. Then, I found myself noticing.... Myself stan class="hi2">aan>rting to han class="hi2">aan>ve this new FEELING.... "an class="hi2">Aan>m I rean class="hi2">aan>lly innocent"... Like.... Stan class="hi2">aan>rting to sense an class="hi2">aan> feeling of not being guilty, an class="hi2">aan> feeling of it an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly being possible than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m innocent. So I'm an class="hi2">aan>sking this only an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> kind of exclan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>tion of surprise, rean class="hi2">aan>lly. Holy Spirit san class="hi2">aan>ys, "you an class="hi2">aan>re free".

Smiles an class="hi2">aan>ll round. Contran class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>bolished. True innocence reclan class="hi2">aan>imed.

It seemed quite ean class="hi2">aan>sy, an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly!

The body being a cause is a belief in sickness

Physican class="hi2">aan>l illness represents an class="hi2">aan> belief in man class="hi2">aan>gic"

Interesting huh. Jesus isn't san class="hi2">aan>ying than class="hi2">aan>t some illnesses an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>used by an class="hi2">aan> belief in the body han class="hi2">aan>ving the power to crean class="hi2">aan>te sickness. He is san class="hi2">aan>ying than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>LL sicknesses of an class="hi2">aan>ll kinds an class="hi2">aan>re produced by believing than class="hi2">aan>t the physican class="hi2">aan>l level of 'existence' han class="hi2">aan>s Can class="hi2">Aan>USan class="hi2">Aan>L POWER over your mind.

Essentian class="hi2">aan>lly, Man class="hi2">Aan>GIC, is the belief than class="hi2">aan>t something sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from the mind han class="hi2">aan>s power to can class="hi2">aan>use the mind. This is the san class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>s being an class="hi2">aan> victim. It's the san class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>s believing things outside of you do things to you. It's the san class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>s the belief than class="hi2">aan>t your brother does something to hurt you an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t you then demonstran class="hi2">aan>te this is true by showing han class="hi2">aan>rm in your body. Than class="hi2">aan>t is man class="hi2">aan>gican class="hi2">aan>l. It's an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>sy an class="hi2">aan>bout how an class="hi2">aan> 'specian class="hi2">aan>l power' han class="hi2">aan>s come an class="hi2">aan>long an class="hi2">aan>nd produced an class="hi2">aan>n 'effect' WITHOUT the mind being involved an class="hi2">aan>nd WITHOUT YOU Can class="hi2">Aan>USING IT.

The reversan class="hi2">aan>l of can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect is an class="hi2">aan> gross "confusion of the levels". Confusing mind with body. But moreso, confusing the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t mind is the crean class="hi2">aan>tor/drean class="hi2">aan>mer with the body which is the crean class="hi2">aan>ted/drean class="hi2">aan>m. Such confusion produces 'man class="hi2">aan>gican class="hi2">aan>l' explan class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>tions for why things han class="hi2">aan>ppen - they don't seem to han class="hi2">aan>ppen just becan class="hi2">aan>use YOU han class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>nything to do with it, they seem to han class="hi2">aan>ppen through some kind of man class="hi2">aan>gican class="hi2">aan>l mysterious unexplan class="hi2">aan>inan class="hi2">aan>ble 'something' than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens entirely outside your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness.

Let's reiteran class="hi2">aan>te - an class="hi2">Aan>LL SICKNESS is can class="hi2">aan>used by an class="hi2">aan> belief in man class="hi2">aan>gic. an class="hi2">Aan> BELIEF IN man class="hi2">aan>gic. Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns, every single time we see ourselves an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> victim, every time we an class="hi2">aan>re irresponsible for our can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l power, every time we an class="hi2">aan>re disempowered by ourselves, every time we an class="hi2">aan>re 'confused' an class="hi2">aan>bout WHERE THE Can class="hi2">Aan>USE IS (in our mind - GOD is the ultiman class="hi2">aan>te can class="hi2">aan>use), than class="hi2">aan>t's when sickness is generan class="hi2">aan>ted.

Sickness then is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to mis-crean class="hi2">aan>te by using crean class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst God. It's where we turn an class="hi2">aan>round an class="hi2">aan>nd instean class="hi2">aan>d of extending God, we go an class="hi2">Aan>Gan class="hi2">Aan>INST God. We an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to block God, stop God, an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck God, an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck the mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd prevent Him from being the Can class="hi2">aan>use. Than class="hi2">aan>t produces every physican class="hi2">aan>l, emotionan class="hi2">aan>l or mentan class="hi2">aan>l illness. an class="hi2">Aan>LL of them. Every sickness on the entire plan class="hi2">aan>net in the history of man class="hi2">aan>nkind an class="hi2">Aan>ND an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>niman class="hi2">aan>ls an class="hi2">aan>nd crean class="hi2">aan>tures an class="hi2">Aan>ND even than class="hi2">aan>t of the ean class="hi2">aan>rth an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ir an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>ter an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>tever else... *every* form of sickness in the universe, is can class="hi2">aan>used by this 'level confusion'.

We an class="hi2">aan>re looking an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> 'crean class="hi2">aan>tion' - the body - the world - an class="hi2">aan>nd we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to believe than class="hi2">aan>t IT han class="hi2">aan>s the power to crean class="hi2">aan>te, to man class="hi2">aan>ke things han class="hi2">aan>ppen, than class="hi2">aan>t it han class="hi2">aan>s its own an class="hi2">aan>lien will, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>n do things to you ON ITS OWN. Than class="hi2">aan>t is man class="hi2">aan>gic. Than class="hi2">aan>t will result in sickness.

But even moreso, whan class="hi2">aan>t we're doing here is, we're trying to deny than class="hi2">aan>t God is the can class="hi2">aan>use of an class="hi2">aan>ll crean class="hi2">aan>tion. It's not just an class="hi2">aan>bout 'the can class="hi2">aan>use is in my mind'. God is in your mind, or ran class="hi2">aan>ther, your mind is IN GOD. When we try to deny than class="hi2">aan>t God is the Fan class="hi2">aan>ther, than class="hi2">aan>t God is the Can class="hi2">Aan>USE or source of everything rean class="hi2">aan>l, than class="hi2">aan>t produces sickness. We an class="hi2">aan>re sick becan class="hi2">aan>use we're blocking the extension of eternan class="hi2">aan>l life (crean class="hi2">aan>tion). We an class="hi2">aan>re sick becan class="hi2">aan>use we don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt love. We an class="hi2">aan>re sick becan class="hi2">aan>use we believe we an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from God. We an class="hi2">aan>re sick becan class="hi2">aan>use we don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt to love other people unconditionan class="hi2">aan>lly. When God is not the can class="hi2">aan>use, we're an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly san class="hi2">aan>ying, the body/world/ego/sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion IS GOD. an class="hi2">Aan>nd we worship it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll its forms. We replan class="hi2">aan>ce God with the world, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns we will be sick.

Put God first!

"The body can class="hi2">aan>nnot crean class="hi2">aan>te, an class="hi2">aan>nd the belief than class="hi2">aan>t it Can class="hi2">Aan>N, an class="hi2">aan> fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>l error responsible for most of the fan class="hi2">aan>llan class="hi2">aan>cies an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy referred to, produces an class="hi2">aan>ll physican class="hi2">aan>l symptoms."

There is NO extension in this world. Physican class="hi2">aan>l reproduction is sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, it is not crean class="hi2">aan>tion. Cell division or growth is sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. Birth is sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. There is no shan class="hi2">aan>ring an class="hi2">aan>nd there is no extension of life an class="hi2">aan>nd no rean class="hi2">aan>l inheritan class="hi2">aan>nce. Objects can class="hi2">aan>nnot crean class="hi2">aan>te more of themselves an class="hi2">aan>nd they can class="hi2">aan>nnot han class="hi2">aan>nd-down their personan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ttributes to whan class="hi2">aan>t they crean class="hi2">aan>te, if an class="hi2">aan>nything.

Whan class="hi2">aan>t this mean class="hi2">aan>ns is, than class="hi2">aan>t this world rean class="hi2">aan>lly is founded on an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> of NOT EXTENDING GOD. It is founded on an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> of unwillingness to crean class="hi2">aan>te, an class="hi2">aan> desire to NOT give fully, an class="hi2">aan> withdran class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> resistan class="hi2">aan>nce an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> fean class="hi2">aan>r.

The end result, is than class="hi2">aan>t the world Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT GIVE. It can class="hi2">aan>nnot give becan class="hi2">aan>use it does not Han class="hi2">Aan>VE an class="hi2">aan>nything to give, becan class="hi2">aan>use it han class="hi2">aan>s NOT inherited from God.

an class="hi2">Aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y to describe this situan class="hi2">aan>tion is simply this. THE WORLD IS an class="hi2">Aan> DEan class="hi2">Aan>D END. It is whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens when you an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to STOP crean class="hi2">aan>tion from han class="hi2">aan>ppening.

You crean class="hi2">aan>te something, an class="hi2">aan>nd it stops, an class="hi2">aan>nd it does not keep crean class="hi2">aan>ting. You can class="hi2">aan>use something, an class="hi2">aan>nd its gan class="hi2">aan>me over. Everything ends.

"The world of time is the world of illusion."

"No lan class="hi2">aan>sting love is found, for none is here. This is the world of time, where an class="hi2">aan>ll things end."

"How can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> world of time an class="hi2">aan>nd plan class="hi2">aan>ce exist if you reman class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>s God crean class="hi2">aan>ted you?" Essentian class="hi2">aan>lly then, the world is not an class="hi2">aan> world of co-crean class="hi2">aan>tion, or extension, or the continuan class="hi2">aan>tion of life, or the unending inheritan class="hi2">aan>nce from one to an class="hi2">aan>nother, or the totan class="hi2">aan>l full giving of an class="hi2">aan>nything to an class="hi2">aan>nyone.

The rean class="hi2">aan>son you can class="hi2">aan>nnot escan class="hi2">aan>pe an class="hi2">aan>nything here is becan class="hi2">aan>use it is an class="hi2">aan> DEan class="hi2">Aan>D END, an class="hi2">aan> closed off corner surrounded by wan class="hi2">aan>lls of division an class="hi2">aan>nd isolan class="hi2">aan>tion.

"Their end is certan class="hi2">aan>in, for there is no choice an class="hi2">aan>mong them. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of them will lean class="hi2">aan>d to dean class="hi2">aan>th."

A Course in miracles, the book, is a symbol of the truth

The book, is an class="hi2">aan>n expression FROM truth, an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to point to truth. It contan class="hi2">aan>ins SYMBOLS of truth, twice removed from rean class="hi2">aan>lity.

Becan class="hi2">aan>use truth expressed the book, the symbols in the book an class="hi2">aan>re not necessan class="hi2">aan>rily an class="hi2">aan>ll possible expressions from truth. Truth could conceivan class="hi2">aan>bly express an class="hi2">aan> million books, an class="hi2">aan>ll from the san class="hi2">aan>me source or mind. They could an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r to tan class="hi2">aan>ke on different forms an class="hi2">aan>nd use different words, yet essentian class="hi2">aan>lly san class="hi2">aan>y the san class="hi2">aan>me thing.

The form of the book, the words used, the sentences, the sections/chan class="hi2">aan>pters, is only one collection of symbols, an class="hi2">aan>ll coming from the san class="hi2">aan>me source.

It is entirely possible for than class="hi2">aan>t source of truth to continue to express itself in man class="hi2">aan>ny, man class="hi2">aan>ny more forms. It is possible than class="hi2">aan>t the Course could in fan class="hi2">aan>ct be 1000 times lan class="hi2">aan>rger, or an class="hi2">aan> million. There is ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly no limit to how man class="hi2">aan>ny "forms" it could tan class="hi2">aan>ke, provided those forms express or symbolize an class="hi2">aan> consistent source.

This is why it is then importan class="hi2">aan>nt to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t, of an class="hi2">aan>ll the FORMS in the book, an class="hi2">aan>ll of the words, you an class="hi2">aan>re not necessan class="hi2">aan>rily getting an class="hi2">Aan>LL words than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n ever be san class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>bout truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd you're not necessan class="hi2">aan>rily hean class="hi2">aan>ring every possible clan class="hi2">aan>rifican class="hi2">aan>tion.

For exan class="hi2">aan>mple, in the man class="hi2">aan>in Course itself Jesus doesn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly explicitly tan class="hi2">aan>lk an class="hi2">aan>bout man class="hi2">aan>king his body disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r. Yet, in the notes given to Helen lan class="hi2">aan>ter, from the san class="hi2">aan>me source/truth, he clan class="hi2">aan>rified further by an class="hi2">aan>dding extran class="hi2">aan> informan class="hi2">aan>tion. Than class="hi2">aan>t informan class="hi2">aan>tion is clan class="hi2">aan>rifying an class="hi2">aan>s to the mean class="hi2">aan>ning of van class="hi2">aan>rious other pan class="hi2">aan>rts of the Course, especian class="hi2">aan>lly surrounding resurrection an class="hi2">aan>nd how we might lean class="hi2">aan>ve the drean class="hi2">aan>m without dean class="hi2">aan>th being involved.

There an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lso times when Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys one little phran class="hi2">aan>se somewhere in the Course an class="hi2">aan>nd doesn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly expan class="hi2">aan>nd upon it, an class="hi2">aan>nd yet it's an class="hi2">aan> very key phran class="hi2">aan>se which puts man class="hi2">aan>ny other things into perspective.

There an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lso times when I rean class="hi2">aan>lly wish Jesus would've gone into much more detan class="hi2">aan>il an class="hi2">aan>bout certan class="hi2">aan>in things, especian class="hi2">aan>lly miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>nd some of the an class="hi2">aan>spects of the end of the universe. In other words, if Jesus were present, there would be an class="hi2">aan> lot of questions we could an class="hi2">aan>sk Him which would clan class="hi2">aan>rify man class="hi2">aan>ny things. This is why it is VITan class="hi2">Aan>L to get in touch with Jesus/Holy Spirit an class="hi2">aan>nd develop an class="hi2">aan> relan class="hi2">aan>tionship with them, so than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n lean class="hi2">aan>rn from them DIRECTLY.

It's importan class="hi2">aan>nt then not to get too hung up on the specific exan class="hi2">aan>ct WORDS which Jesus expressed, thinking than class="hi2">aan>t the FORM of those words is the truth. The form is not the truth, it's just one of Man class="hi2">Aan>NY possible symbols an class="hi2">aan>nd expressions. Further an class="hi2">aan>dditionan class="hi2">aan>l forms might possibly chan class="hi2">aan>nge your perception of those words an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t they rean class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>n.

If for exan class="hi2">aan>mple you will only an class="hi2">aan>ccept something an class="hi2">aan>s correct if it han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n explicit quote in the Course than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n point your finger an class="hi2">aan>t, then you an class="hi2">aan>re getting bogged down in form an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re not seeing the metan class="hi2">aan>physics.

The form of the words of the Course an class="hi2">aan>re twice removed from rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Once removed from rean class="hi2">aan>lity is the metan class="hi2">aan>physics, an class="hi2">aan>nd/or the symbols in the drean class="hi2">aan>m. For exan class="hi2">aan>mple, outer span class="hi2">aan>ce, filled with seemingly nothing but emptiness, is symbolic for the ego's an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to man class="hi2">aan>ke God an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>bsent an class="hi2">aan>s possible. Bodies an class="hi2">aan>re symbols of han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan>n identity God did not crean class="hi2">aan>te. etc.

When you look an class="hi2">aan>t the words an class="hi2">aan>nd lean class="hi2">aan>rn from the words, you should lean class="hi2">aan>rn, or be an class="hi2">aan>ble to infer/imply, whan class="hi2">aan>t the metan class="hi2">aan>physics of the truth is. Stuff like the structure of the drean class="hi2">aan>m, the levels, whan class="hi2">aan>t certan class="hi2">aan>in things mean class="hi2">aan>n, where they fit, etc... is not an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys necessan class="hi2">aan>rily 100% spelled out in words. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to look deeper. an class="hi2">Aan>s you "generan class="hi2">aan>lize the tean class="hi2">aan>ching", you will gran class="hi2">aan>duan class="hi2">aan>lly build an class="hi2">aan> clean class="hi2">aan>rer picture for yourself an class="hi2">aan>bout how everything fits together.

Some of those clan class="hi2">aan>rifican class="hi2">aan>tions will bring you insight into how, sometimes, Jesus uses words in certan class="hi2">aan>in specific contexts which, if tan class="hi2">aan>ken verban class="hi2">aan>tim, might imply or infer something which is incorrect. an class="hi2">Aan>lso sometimes He spean class="hi2">aan>ks an class="hi2">aan>t certan class="hi2">aan>in "levels" an class="hi2">aan>nd confusing those levels produces an class="hi2">aan> lot of confused metan class="hi2">aan>physics. Some things an class="hi2">aan>pply an class="hi2">aan>t certan class="hi2">aan>in levels an class="hi2">aan>nd not others.

an class="hi2">Aan>lso sometimes Jesus uses words which He seemed to han class="hi2">aan>ve build up quite an class="hi2">aan> specific definition of elsewhere, but uses them quite loosely in "generan class="hi2">aan>l conversan class="hi2">aan>tion" in such an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t people then tan class="hi2">aan>ke this an class="hi2">aan>nd think it's some kind of metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l fan class="hi2">aan>ct. Sometimes Jesus is just simply tan class="hi2">aan>lking can class="hi2">aan>suan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>nd using norman class="hi2">aan>l lan class="hi2">aan>nguan class="hi2">aan>ge, how most people would, an class="hi2">aan>nd not necessan class="hi2">aan>rily tean class="hi2">aan>ching doctrine in every word.

With enough exposure an class="hi2">aan>nd lean class="hi2">aan>rning you should be an class="hi2">aan>ble to tran class="hi2">aan>nscend the Course's words an class="hi2">aan>nd get more in touch with the "core metan class="hi2">aan>physics" which is kind of hiding somewhan class="hi2">aan>t behind the words. The structure of the drean class="hi2">aan>m, the proper locan class="hi2">aan>tion of certan class="hi2">aan>in levels an class="hi2">aan>nd their mean class="hi2">aan>ning etc, becomes more an class="hi2">aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rent when you go deeper into it, an class="hi2">aan>nd Jesus han class="hi2">aan>sn't necessan class="hi2">aan>rily "spelled it an class="hi2">aan>ll out" directly.

All is a choice

This wan class="hi2">aan>s something than class="hi2">aan>t our spirituan class="hi2">aan>l guides often told us yean class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>go, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>t the time it seemed to han class="hi2">aan>ve some mean class="hi2">aan>ning. But I didn't rean class="hi2">aan>lize just how fan class="hi2">aan>r rean class="hi2">aan>ching it is.

You get to choose... everything. Totan class="hi2">aan>l responsibility.

Pan class="hi2">aan>rt of our problem, being unconscious, is than class="hi2">aan>t we han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ttempted to HIDE the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re responsible, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t we han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> CHOICE. We seem to not even rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t we han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> choice. The han class="hi2">aan>llman class="hi2">aan>rk of the disempowered, victim mindset is the an class="hi2">aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rent an class="hi2">aan>bsence of the freedom to choose.

In the victim mindset, it seems the victim didn't choose whan class="hi2">aan>t's han class="hi2">aan>ppening to them. an class="hi2">Aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th is the ultiman class="hi2">aan>te expression of this where, an class="hi2">aan>llegedly, it "just han class="hi2">aan>ppens" on its own. Not only than class="hi2">aan>t, there's nothing you can class="hi2">aan>n do to stop it or resist it. No choice whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever, or an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st, than class="hi2">aan>t's how it an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs.

So if you're in an class="hi2">aan> situan class="hi2">aan>tion where you an class="hi2">aan>re "being an class="hi2">aan> victim", you for sure will in some wan class="hi2">aan>y believe you do not han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> choice. Instean class="hi2">aan>d, you'll tan class="hi2">aan>lk an class="hi2">aan>bout how such-an class="hi2">aan>nd-such is going to han class="hi2">aan>ppen an class="hi2">aan>nd how you can class="hi2">aan>n't do an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>bout it.

an class="hi2">Aan>n exan class="hi2">aan>mple of this is the wean class="hi2">aan>ther. The wean class="hi2">aan>ther is forecan class="hi2">aan>st an class="hi2">aan>nd then everyone goes an class="hi2">aan>peshit an class="hi2">aan>bout how such-an class="hi2">aan>nd-such an class="hi2">aan> wean class="hi2">aan>ther "is going to han class="hi2">aan>ppen" (to me) becan class="hi2">aan>use "they san class="hi2">aan>id". This is the victim mindset. You don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt to own the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re responsible for the wean class="hi2">aan>ther, or than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve power over it, or than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n choose it, or than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">Aan>RE choosing it. The wean class="hi2">aan>ther forecan class="hi2">aan>st is just reflecting ban class="hi2">aan>ck to you whan class="hi2">aan>t YOU an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy set in motion.

It an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys boils down to the belief, an class="hi2">aan>nd the perception, than class="hi2">aan>t you do not han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ny choice an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t choice han class="hi2">aan>s been tan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from you by some outside force an class="hi2">aan>nd there's nothing you can class="hi2">aan>n do to chan class="hi2">aan>nge it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd these proclan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>bout how disempowered you an class="hi2">aan>re will an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys be loud an class="hi2">aan>nd convinced an class="hi2">aan>s though you're san class="hi2">aan>ying, I don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt this to han class="hi2">aan>ppen, but an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time, rean class="hi2">aan>lly not doing an class="hi2">Aan>NYTHING to chan class="hi2">aan>nge it. This is "complan class="hi2">aan>int".

Complan class="hi2">aan>ining is the an class="hi2">aan>ct of man class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan> situan class="hi2">aan>tion rean class="hi2">aan>l, seeing yourself an class="hi2">aan>s victimized by it, completely disowning your power to do an class="hi2">aan>nything to chan class="hi2">aan>nge an class="hi2">aan>nything, an class="hi2">aan>nd yet man class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan> grean class="hi2">aan>t big tiran class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>bout why its unfan class="hi2">aan>ir an class="hi2">aan>nd who's fan class="hi2">aan>ult it is an class="hi2">aan>nd how there's nothing you can class="hi2">aan>n do an class="hi2">aan>bout it. So you ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly stan class="hi2">aan>y... STUCK. Than class="hi2">aan>t's why complan class="hi2">aan>ining an class="hi2">aan>bout the situan class="hi2">aan>tion only KEEPS it, compounds it, an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>kes it worse. Complan class="hi2">aan>int than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve no choice is an class="hi2">aan> CHOICE to NOT han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> choice.

You DO han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> choice! But you're not going to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to an class="hi2">aan>ccess the POWER of than class="hi2">aan>t stan class="hi2">aan>te of "freedom" unless you're willing to drop an class="hi2">aan>ll the victimhood shit an class="hi2">aan>nd OWN up to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ving power. Why don't people wan class="hi2">aan>nt to own up to being responsible, or han class="hi2">aan>ving freedom, or han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> choice, or being an class="hi2">aan>ble to man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> chan class="hi2">aan>nge? There's no downsides to than class="hi2">aan>t, other than class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t it mean class="hi2">aan>ns less an class="hi2">aan>llegian class="hi2">aan>nce to the ego.

So you're not stuck. You can class="hi2">aan>n choose an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in. You han class="hi2">aan>ve the power. You an class="hi2">aan>re free. an class="hi2">Aan>nd everything than class="hi2">aan>t's han class="hi2">aan>ppening NOW is your choice. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if you don't like it, RECLan class="hi2">Aan>IM your power to choose an class="hi2">aan>nd choose something else.

Guilt is a lie

So there I wan class="hi2">aan>s, doing something which I wan class="hi2">aan>s feeling guilty an class="hi2">aan>bout. But I didn't rean class="hi2">aan>lize I wan class="hi2">aan>s feeling guilty. Instean class="hi2">aan>d, I noticed I stan class="hi2">aan>rted han class="hi2">aan>ving fean class="hi2">aan>rful thoughts. Except, I didn't rean class="hi2">aan>lize they were fean class="hi2">aan>rful thoughts. But by than class="hi2">aan>t point, I seemed to han class="hi2">aan>ve no direct an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of feeling guilty, only than class="hi2">aan>t I felt uncomfortan class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t something wan class="hi2">aan>sn't right.

I couldn't get my ego to stop man class="hi2">aan>king up thoughts an class="hi2">aan>bout this thing, or bringing it ban class="hi2">aan>ck up, or iman class="hi2">aan>gining it han class="hi2">aan>ppening. I thought fean class="hi2">aan>r wan class="hi2">aan>s the problem so I stan class="hi2">aan>rted working on trying to undo the fean class="hi2">aan>r, which helped to some degree, but it wouldn't stop. My ego kept recrean class="hi2">aan>ting thoughts an class="hi2">aan>bout it.

So I han class="hi2">aan>d to stop an class="hi2">aan>nd step ban class="hi2">aan>ck, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>sk myself, whan class="hi2">aan>t is han class="hi2">aan>ppening here mytan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>lly? If I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id.. oh, it must mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m guilty. Becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>ll fean class="hi2">aan>r comes from guilt. Without guilt there is no ban class="hi2">aan>sis for fean class="hi2">aan>r, becan class="hi2">aan>use there is no punishment to be an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id of. Suddenly the guilt can class="hi2">aan>me ban class="hi2">aan>ck into my an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan>nd I rean class="hi2">aan>lized I did in fan class="hi2">aan>ct feel guilty. This guilt wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>nifesting an class="hi2">aan>s fean class="hi2">aan>rful thoughts.

So then I set an class="hi2">aan>bout undoing this guilt, which an class="hi2">aan>t first didn't seem ean class="hi2">aan>sy an class="hi2">aan>nd I didn't believe it. Somehow becan class="hi2">aan>use I felt guilt, I felt like I wan class="hi2">aan>s supposed to be guilty. I felt like I deserved to be guilty or than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t I wan class="hi2">aan>s doing wan class="hi2">aan>s wrong. But an class="hi2">aan>s I looked into this, I han class="hi2">aan>d to an class="hi2">aan>sk myself whether God would find me guilty. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the an class="hi2">aan>nswer to this han class="hi2">aan>d to be an class="hi2">aan> resounding no.

It's not possible for God to condemn or an class="hi2">aan>ccuse or to find me guilty for an class="hi2">aan>nything. But there I wan class="hi2">aan>s, still feeling guilty, an class="hi2">aan>nd still feeling an class="hi2">aan>s though I wan class="hi2">aan>s supposed to be guilty. It seemed the guilt wan class="hi2">aan>s justified. It felt like shan class="hi2">aan>me. It felt like whan class="hi2">aan>tever I wan class="hi2">aan>s doing can class="hi2">aan>lled for guilt. Of course there wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> sense of sin behind this, becan class="hi2">aan>use it's only possible to be guilty if you believe you sinned, an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>n only believe you sinned if you do not believe you an class="hi2">aan>re innocent.

It seemed odd though, than class="hi2">aan>t the entire foundan class="hi2">aan>tion for this idean class="hi2">aan> of "you should be guilty", rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>d no ban class="hi2">aan>sis. God doesn't find us guilty. God does not for one second see us an class="hi2">aan>s guilty, ever, for an class="hi2">aan>nything. So I han class="hi2">aan>d to look an class="hi2">aan>t this. an class="hi2">Aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rently I han class="hi2">aan>d bought into this idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t guilt - or an class="hi2">aan> guilty conscience - is somehow nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l or norman class="hi2">aan>l. Than class="hi2">aan>t we're supposed to feel this wan class="hi2">aan>y. Than class="hi2">aan>t it's an class="hi2">aan> sign to us than class="hi2">aan>t we han class="hi2">aan>ve done something wrong.

It's an class="hi2">aan>s if guilt is an class="hi2">aan> deserved punishment. It's an class="hi2">aan>s if the guilt san class="hi2">aan>ys, "there is something wrong with you", ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n, stopping to question whether there is something wrong with the guilt. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s it turns out, there IS something wrong with the guilt. The guilt itself is fan class="hi2">aan>lse!

If God is not finding me guilty, there is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly something wrong an class="hi2">aan>bout being guilty. Being guilty isn't correct or ran class="hi2">aan>tionan class="hi2">aan>l or justified. It's an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. an class="hi2">Aan>n error. We're an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly doing something wrong when we go into guilt. Guilt is not love. God does not find us guilty so if we're feeling guilty, even if we're pouting an class="hi2">aan>nd feeling an class="hi2">aan>shan class="hi2">aan>med an class="hi2">aan>nd upset an class="hi2">aan>nd like we deserve it, we're an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly going an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst God's will.

Guilt is nothing but an class="hi2">aan>nother wan class="hi2">aan>y to lick our wounds an class="hi2">aan>nd pretend we didn't wan class="hi2">aan>nt to do whan class="hi2">aan>t we did wan class="hi2">aan>nt to do. This justifies the guilt, keeps it, man class="hi2">aan>kes out than class="hi2">aan>t we deserve it, an class="hi2">aan>nd then we proceed to the next step of man class="hi2">aan>king it unconscious by turning it into fean class="hi2">aan>r of punishment. If we're being guilty, even though it feels an class="hi2">aan>wful, we're an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly being egotistican class="hi2">aan>l, we're being selfish, an class="hi2">aan>nd we're trying to man class="hi2">aan>ke out than class="hi2">aan>t we han class="hi2">aan>ve regret or remorse or "norman class="hi2">aan>l" shan class="hi2">aan>me, an class="hi2">aan>s if we recognize than class="hi2">aan>t we did something wrong an class="hi2">aan>nd did not mean class="hi2">aan>n to do it. It's an class="hi2">aan> bullshit lie.

There is nothing noble or moran class="hi2">aan>l or ethican class="hi2">aan>l, nor is it an class="hi2">aan> sign of an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>lthy conscience, to be guilty. God does not find us guilty, ever. Not ever. For an class="hi2">aan>ny rean class="hi2">aan>son. God's judgement is than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re eternan class="hi2">aan>lly innocent an class="hi2">aan>nd we han class="hi2">aan>ve not sinned an class="hi2">aan>nd we can class="hi2">aan>nnot sin. Than class="hi2">aan>t's VERY different to the ego's plan class="hi2">aan>n to man class="hi2">aan>ke us guilty for stuff. So now this brings guilt ITSELF into question. The entire idean class="hi2">aan> of guilt is fan class="hi2">aan>lse!

We an class="hi2">aan>re in fan class="hi2">aan>ct never supposed to feel guilty. If we do, we're putting on an class="hi2">aan> show, nothing short of victimhood, where we're pretending to regret our an class="hi2">aan>ctions while in fan class="hi2">aan>ct secretly we an class="hi2">aan>re delighted an class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ving man class="hi2">aan>de God suffer. Guilt is an class="hi2">aan> lie, it han class="hi2">aan>s NO MERIT whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever, it is NOT supposed to keep us in check, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is not grounds for behan class="hi2">aan>vior modifican class="hi2">aan>tion. It is entirely an class="hi2">aan>n ego crean class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan> delusion, designed to man class="hi2">aan>nipulan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd hide the truth.

So I found this very interesting. I han class="hi2">aan>d to open up to the truth an class="hi2">aan>s given by God... how God sees me. God sees me an class="hi2">aan>s innocent. I an class="hi2">aan>m NOT guilty for doing whan class="hi2">aan>t I've done. Even if every rule under the sun san class="hi2">aan>ys I should be.

Now of course, we han class="hi2">aan>ve to be can class="hi2">aan>reful with level confusion here. This does not justify suddenly going out an class="hi2">aan>nd doing despican class="hi2">aan>ble things. If we're truly coming from love we will an class="hi2">aan>ct lovingly not recklessly or han class="hi2">aan>rmfully. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in fan class="hi2">aan>ct I hean class="hi2">aan>rd my ego stan class="hi2">aan>rting to jump in on this, trying to get me thinking than class="hi2">aan>t, well... if I'm not guilty for doing something like this, then I can class="hi2">aan>n surely do whan class="hi2">aan>tever I wan class="hi2">aan>nt with no remorse... well, than class="hi2">aan>t too is ego bullshit. Than class="hi2">aan>t's level confusion an class="hi2">aan>nd the ego trying to bend the lan class="hi2">aan>w of God to its purposes.

We an class="hi2">aan>re to be directed by God's love, informed by God's love, guided by God's love, to life within God's love, an class="hi2">aan>nd to an class="hi2">aan>ct from God's love. We an class="hi2">aan>re innocent an class="hi2">aan>nd holy, unconditionan class="hi2">aan>lly, even if we man class="hi2">aan>y han class="hi2">aan>ve seemed to do something than class="hi2">aan>t WE think (our ego thinks) is worthy of condemnan class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>bel of sin, or justifican class="hi2">aan>tion for punishment. There is NO Van class="hi2">Aan>LUE in being guilty. There is no merit. It does not man class="hi2">aan>ke people well behan class="hi2">aan>ved. It man class="hi2">aan>kes people sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from God, it man class="hi2">aan>kes people unloving, an class="hi2">aan>nd it confuses truth for lies.

Guilt is not love. Guilt is not rean class="hi2">aan>l remorse. Guilt is an class="hi2">aan> lie.

I an class="hi2">aan>m not guilty. You an class="hi2">aan>re not guilty. Guilt is fan class="hi2">aan>ke. There is no such thing an class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l justified guilt. It is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore it is an class="hi2">aan> lie. In God's Kingdom there is only innocence an class="hi2">aan>nd the Son of God is free.

Being a miracle worker

an class="hi2">Aan> collection of quotes from an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles.

"Right-Mindedness neither exan class="hi2">aan>lts nor deprecian class="hi2">aan>tes the mind of the miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker nor of the ****miran class="hi2">aan>cle receiver****. However, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tive an class="hi2">aan>ct, the miran class="hi2">aan>cle ****need not an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>it the Right-Mindedness of the receiver. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct, its purpose is to restore him TO his Right Mind.**** But it is essentian class="hi2">aan>l than class="hi2">aan>t the miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker be in his Right Mind, or he will be unan class="hi2">aan>ble to reestan class="hi2">aan>blish Right-Mindedness ****in someone else.****"

"an class="hi2">Aan>ll forms of not-Right-Mindedness an class="hi2">aan>re the result of refusan class="hi2">aan>l to an class="hi2">aan>ccept the an class="hi2">Aan>tonement FOR YOURSELF. If the miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker DOES an class="hi2">aan>ccept it, he plan class="hi2">aan>ces himself in the position to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t ****those who need to be hean class="hi2">aan>led an class="hi2">aan>re simply those who han class="hi2">aan>ve NOT done so.****"

"The sole responsibility of the miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker is to an class="hi2">aan>ccept an class="hi2">Aan>tonement himself. This mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t he knows than class="hi2">aan>t mind is the only crean class="hi2">aan>tive level, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t its errors an class="hi2">Aan>RE hean class="hi2">aan>led by the an class="hi2">Aan>tonement. Once he an class="hi2">aan>ccepts this, HIS mind ****can class="hi2">aan>n only hean class="hi2">aan>l.**** By denying his mind an class="hi2">aan>ny destructive potentian class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd reinstan class="hi2">aan>ting its purely constructive powers, he han class="hi2">aan>s plan class="hi2">aan>ced himself in an class="hi2">aan> position where he ****can class="hi2">aan>n undo the level confusion of others****.

"Han class="hi2">aan>ving offered love, only love can class="hi2">aan>n be received. It is in this than class="hi2">aan>t the tean class="hi2">aan>cher of God must trust. This is whan class="hi2">aan>t is rean class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>nt by the stan class="hi2">aan>tement than class="hi2">aan>t the one responsibility of the miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker is to an class="hi2">aan>ccept the an class="hi2">Aan>tonement for himself. The tean class="hi2">aan>cher of God is an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker becan class="hi2">aan>use ****he gives the gifts he han class="hi2">aan>s received****.

Thus is his doubt corrected."

"Yet love without trust is impossible, an class="hi2">aan>nd doubt an class="hi2">aan>nd trust can class="hi2">aan>nnot coexist. an class="hi2">Aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>te must be the opposite of love, regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of the form it tan class="hi2">aan>kes. Doubt not the gift an class="hi2">aan>nd it is impossible to doubt its result. This is the certan class="hi2">aan>inty than class="hi2">aan>t gives God's tean class="hi2">aan>chers the power to be miran class="hi2">aan>cle workers, for they han class="hi2">aan>ve put their trust in Him."

"Pran class="hi2">aan>yer is the medium of miran class="hi2">aan>cles, not becan class="hi2">aan>use God crean class="hi2">aan>ted perceptions, but becan class="hi2">aan>use God crean class="hi2">aan>ted YOU. an class="hi2">Aan>t the beginning of this course, we san class="hi2">aan>id than class="hi2">aan>t YOU an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle.

"They meet IN ORDER to an class="hi2">aan>bolish the difference. an class="hi2">Aan>t the beginning, since we an class="hi2">aan>re still in time, they come together on the ban class="hi2">aan>sis of inequan class="hi2">aan>lity of an class="hi2">aan>bility an class="hi2">aan>nd experience.

"Then let him turn within to his Eternan class="hi2">aan>l Guide, an class="hi2">aan>nd let Him judge whan class="hi2">aan>t the response should be.

When this han class="hi2">aan>s been an class="hi2">aan>ccomplished, the tean class="hi2">aan>cher of God becomes an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker by definition.

"Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re merely the tran class="hi2">aan>nslan class="hi2">aan>tion of denian class="hi2">aan>l into truth.

Heaven is a place, and a state of mind. Heaven is for real

Some people san class="hi2">aan>y hean class="hi2">aan>ven is not an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce. It’s usuan class="hi2">aan>lly ban class="hi2">aan>sed an class="hi2">aan>round the quote "hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of perfect oneness." This is one of those things where you han class="hi2">aan>ve to look an class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t other quotes san class="hi2">aan>y to build an class="hi2">aan> full picture.

Logican class="hi2">aan>lly, this world than class="hi2">aan>t you think is an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce, is not an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce, becan class="hi2">aan>use it is an class="hi2">aan>n opposite to God’s crean class="hi2">aan>tion. Secondly, this world will cean class="hi2">aan>se to an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r to exist when it disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs into the nothingness it can class="hi2">aan>me from. The question then will be, WHERE will you (your soul) be locan class="hi2">aan>ted? It definitely WILL NOT be locan class="hi2">aan>ted in this world.

an class="hi2">Aan> further question is, where is Jesus han class="hi2">aan>nging out right now? He’s not in an class="hi2">aan> body - an class="hi2">aan>nd when the world disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs ("together we will wan class="hi2">aan>tch the world disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r"), His Home will not be lost. So where is he?

How an class="hi2">aan>bout "Hean class="hi2">aan>ven reman class="hi2">aan>ins your one an class="hi2">aan>lternan class="hi2">aan>tive to the stran class="hi2">aan>nge world you man class="hi2">aan>de"?

How an class="hi2">aan>bout over *10* references to "in hean class="hi2">aan>ven"?

How an class="hi2">aan>bout, "Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is the sum of an class="hi2">aan>ll God crean class="hi2">aan>ted" or "Hean class="hi2">aan>ven includes an class="hi2">aan>ll of God’s children an class="hi2">aan>nd their crean class="hi2">aan>tions"? Do you think Crean class="hi2">aan>tion tan class="hi2">aan>kes plan class="hi2">aan>ce in this world? It does not.

So when Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys "Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of perfect oneness", He is correctly san class="hi2">aan>ying than class="hi2">aan>t it entan class="hi2">aan>ils an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RENESS of God an class="hi2">aan>nd Crean class="hi2">aan>tion. It IS an class="hi2">aan> "stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind" in God’s mind. But there is more to Crean class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>n just mind. There is an class="hi2">aan>lso BEING. an class="hi2">Aan>nd being requires "somewhere" for you to BE. Yes Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is suspended in God’s mind.

But let’s an class="hi2">aan>lso be clean class="hi2">aan>r, an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness IS NOT perception. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the the world you man class="hi2">aan>de is an class="hi2">aan> world of perception. Being an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RE of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven can class="hi2">aan>n only tan class="hi2">aan>ke plan class="hi2">aan>ce IN Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. PERCEPTION of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven (an class="hi2">aan> reflection) can class="hi2">aan>n only tan class="hi2">aan>ke plan class="hi2">aan>ce IN perception - in this word.

Let’s an class="hi2">aan>lso be clean class="hi2">aan>r on the other fan class="hi2">aan>vorite quote, "God is in everything I see becan class="hi2">aan>use God is in my mind." Fan class="hi2">aan>ct is, this is tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout PERCEPTION. The entire lesson tan class="hi2">aan>lks an class="hi2">aan>bout this. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot PERCEIVE God. You can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RE of God, an class="hi2">aan>nd this an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness requires - REQUIRES - the END of perception, which in turn requires you to NOT BE IN an class="hi2">Aan> BODY becan class="hi2">aan>use the body wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de SO THan class="hi2">Aan>T you han class="hi2">aan>d something to perceive with.

When God finan class="hi2">aan>lly scoops you up an class="hi2">aan>nd tan class="hi2">aan>kes you TO HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN, you will regan class="hi2">aan>in full *an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness* of perfect oneness, replan class="hi2">aan>cing your perception of oneness. an class="hi2">Aan>nd when this world disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs - not forgetting than class="hi2">aan>t THERE IS NO WORLD (so the world is NOT an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce), "an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t reman class="hi2">aan>ins" is Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. It is the "plan class="hi2">aan>ce" where you LIVE, BE, CREan class="hi2">Aan>TE an class="hi2">aan>nd EXTEND.

Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is not inside of span class="hi2">aan>cetime. It’s not an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>s in, an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l locan class="hi2">aan>tion in span class="hi2">aan>ce. But it is somewhere. It is everywhere. You can class="hi2">aan>n BE THERE, without an class="hi2">aan> world. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the course describes it an class="hi2">aan>s "an class="hi2">aan> living world."

So yes, Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is the ONLY plan class="hi2">aan>ce.

Finan class="hi2">aan>lly Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys of hean class="hi2">aan>ven, "I can class="hi2">aan>n tan class="hi2">aan>ke you there an class="hi2">aan>ny time."

HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN IS REan class="hi2">Aan>L!

So yes, Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is the ONLY plan class="hi2">aan>ce.

Finan class="hi2">aan>lly Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys of hean class="hi2">aan>ven, "I can class="hi2">aan>n tan class="hi2">aan>ke you there an class="hi2">aan>ny time."

"God crean class="hi2">aan>ted His Sons by extending His Thought an class="hi2">aan>nd retan class="hi2">aan>ining the extensions of His Thought in His Mind. an class="hi2">Aan>LL His Thoughts an class="hi2">aan>re thus perfectly united within themselves an class="hi2">aan>nd with ean class="hi2">aan>ch other becan class="hi2">aan>use they, were crean class="hi2">aan>ted neither pan class="hi2">aan>rtian class="hi2">aan>lly nor in pan class="hi2">aan>rt."

In the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, the willingness to shan class="hi2">aan>re wan class="hi2">aan>s denied, producing an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of selfishness. "The ego is the idean class="hi2">aan> of selfishness. The soul is the idean class="hi2">aan> of self-fullness." Selfishness is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to withdran class="hi2">aan>w from shan class="hi2">aan>ring, to not wan class="hi2">aan>nt to be be one with the rest.

In whan class="hi2">aan>t we might describe an class="hi2">aan>s "man class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan>n ego", the truth is than class="hi2">aan>t we didn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>n ego. We HID the soul. an class="hi2">Aan>nd we did this by denying the soul. This repression of self wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ct of TRYING NOT TO EXIST. It wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt not to will an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.

In an class="hi2">aan>ttempting not to exist, which is rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to murder God's son, you tried to han class="hi2">aan>ve en existence in which you didn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly exist. It wan class="hi2">aan>s one thing to han class="hi2">aan>ve the idean class="hi2">aan> of existing "an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt from God", but the rean class="hi2">aan>l truth is than class="hi2">aan>t you were an class="hi2">aan>ttempting NOT to exist an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. To be the totan class="hi2">aan>l opposite of eternan class="hi2">aan>l life, which is dean class="hi2">aan>th.

The ego then isn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> self, or an class="hi2">aan>n individuan class="hi2">aan>l. It is the idean class="hi2">aan> of NOT SELF. It is rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n ILLUSION of an class="hi2">aan> self, seeming to be like an class="hi2">aan> self, but this illusion is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> deception. It isn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly the presence of something, it is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly the an class="hi2">Aan>BSENCE of self. It is an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck of self.

It lan class="hi2">aan>cks wholeness, it lan class="hi2">aan>cks rean class="hi2">aan>l identity, it lan class="hi2">aan>cks truth an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>nity, it lan class="hi2">aan>cks will power, an class="hi2">aan>nd it lan class="hi2">aan>cks life. Whan class="hi2">aan>t it SEEMS to be, it is not. It an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to be an class="hi2">aan> thing, but it is rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> no-thing. It is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nti-self, an class="hi2">aan>nd Jesus sometimes refers to it an class="hi2">aan>s the an class="hi2">aan>nti-christ. The lan class="hi2">aan>ck of christ. an class="hi2">Aan> Lan class="hi2">Aan>CK OF "everything than class="hi2">aan>t exists" is obviously not the PRESENCE of an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.

So the ego is this upside-down idean class="hi2">aan> of "an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te self" than class="hi2">aan>t you man class="hi2">aan>de. But secretly, when recognized, this illusion of an class="hi2">aan> self existing is rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to man class="hi2">aan>ke something than class="hi2">aan>t DOES NOT exist. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it's not rean class="hi2">aan>lly there an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. Than class="hi2">aan>t's the illusion of it. There is not rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n ego.

When you identify with "the ego" an class="hi2">aan>nd try to believe than class="hi2">aan>t it exists or than class="hi2">aan>t it is an class="hi2">aan> self, or it is your own self, you an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>lly identifying with nothingness. You an class="hi2">aan>re trying to reject your true existence an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> soul an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re trying to seemingly "tan class="hi2">aan>ke on" an class="hi2">aan> new self.

an class="hi2">Aan>s if you can class="hi2">aan>n line up the soul an class="hi2">aan>nd the ego side-by-side an class="hi2">aan>nd pick between them. But the ego isn't an class="hi2">aan>longside the soul in this wan class="hi2">aan>y, becan class="hi2">aan>use it doesn't han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ny existence. So you're rean class="hi2">aan>lly identifying with an class="hi2">aan> fictionan class="hi2">aan>l nothingness than class="hi2">aan>t isn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly there, while believing it is rean class="hi2">aan>lly something.

If we correctly identify than class="hi2">aan>t the ego is an class="hi2">aan> Lan class="hi2">Aan>CK OF SELF, an class="hi2">aan>nd is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt NOT to exist, which is an class="hi2">aan>n effort to die or to can class="hi2">aan>use the dean class="hi2">aan>th of God's son, then we need to an class="hi2">aan>lso recognize than class="hi2">aan>t the ego is NOT rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n individuan class="hi2">aan>l. Nor is it rean class="hi2">aan>lly the idean class="hi2">aan> of individuan class="hi2">aan>lity. It is the idean class="hi2">aan> of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from shan class="hi2">aan>ring an class="hi2">aan>n identity in christ. It's the idean class="hi2">aan> of NOT KNOWING WHO YOU an class="hi2">Aan>RE. an class="hi2">Aan>s if you don't even exist an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.

"The self you man class="hi2">aan>de is not the Son of God. Therefore this self does not exist an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll."

"an class="hi2">Aan>t no SINGLE instan class="hi2">aan>nt does the body exist an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll."

"The dispute over an class="hi2">aan>uthorship han class="hi2">aan>s left such uncertan class="hi2">aan>inty in the minds of man class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t some people han class="hi2">aan>ve gone so fan class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>s to doubt whether they were ever crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll."

When the ego is undone, so to spean class="hi2">aan>k, we're not REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout undoing something than class="hi2">aan>t exists. We're tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t is never wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. Than class="hi2">aan>t there IS no ego. Than class="hi2">aan>t it is NOT your self. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it wan class="hi2">aan>s never rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> self. We're tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout shifting from identifying an class="hi2">aan>s "I don't exist" to "I do exist." From identifying with nothingness while pretending it's everything, to identifying with everything an class="hi2">aan>nd recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t the ego is nothing. Your soul IS everything.

So rean class="hi2">aan>lly it's an class="hi2">aan>ll upside down. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> lot of people han class="hi2">aan>ve believed this idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t the ego IS an class="hi2">aan> self, an class="hi2">aan>nd IS an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l individuan class="hi2">aan>l. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t therefore, we han class="hi2">aan>ve to get rid of this self, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore get rid of individuan class="hi2">aan>lity in order to be spirituan class="hi2">aan>l. But this then lean class="hi2">aan>ds to the fan class="hi2">aan>lse conclusion than class="hi2">aan>t you Han class="hi2">Aan>VE NO SELF. Or than class="hi2">aan>t individuan class="hi2">aan>lity is an class="hi2">aan> ban class="hi2">aan>d thing. Thus han class="hi2">aan>s individuan class="hi2">aan>lity received an class="hi2">aan> ban class="hi2">aan>d wran class="hi2">aan>p, an class="hi2">aan>nd people keep thinking than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re no individuan class="hi2">aan>ls in hean class="hi2">aan>ven. The truth is there an class="hi2">aan>re no rean class="hi2">aan>l individuan class="hi2">aan>ls on ean class="hi2">aan>rth, an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ven is full of them!

The sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God therefore wan class="hi2">aan>s never rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n issue an class="hi2">aan>bout individuan class="hi2">aan>lity. It wan class="hi2">aan>s never rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>bout BECOMING an class="hi2">aan>n individuan class="hi2">aan>l.

The ego is a completely fixed device with a single unchangeable function - separation

In the ego's physican class="hi2">aan>l world, the form an class="hi2">aan>nd the function of something an class="hi2">aan>re fixed.

You can class="hi2">aan>n use an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>ir of scissors to cut pan class="hi2">aan>per, but you can class="hi2">aan>n't use an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>ir of scissors to an class="hi2">aan>llevian class="hi2">aan>te your hunger. You can class="hi2">aan>n use an class="hi2">aan> screwdriver to screw in an class="hi2">aan> screw, but you can class="hi2">aan>n't use it to wan class="hi2">aan>ter your crops. You can class="hi2">aan>n use an class="hi2">aan> toilet to flush some poop, but you can class="hi2">aan>n't use the toilet to cook your dinner (hopefully).

Physican class="hi2">aan>l objects, forms, han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> fixed function. This is becan class="hi2">aan>use the ego is an class="hi2">aan> fixed device. It is something you man class="hi2">aan>de with an class="hi2">aan> single FUNCTION, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t function is fixed. Its purpose is specific an class="hi2">aan>nd limited an class="hi2">aan>nd unchan class="hi2">aan>nging. It wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> device to oppose God. It wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de to "see" God from an class="hi2">aan> completely opposite van class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>ge point an class="hi2">aan>nd perceive God an class="hi2">aan>s though God is fan class="hi2">aan>lse, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t therefore dean class="hi2">aan>th is true.

It wan class="hi2">aan>s designed to fulfill than class="hi2">aan>t function, an class="hi2">aan>nd just like an class="hi2">aan>ny other "tool" than class="hi2">aan>t you use, it is just an class="hi2">aan>nother tool which han class="hi2">aan>s one function an class="hi2">aan>nd one function only. You can class="hi2">aan>n't turn it into something else an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>n't man class="hi2">aan>ke it do things it wan class="hi2">aan>s not designed to do. Becan class="hi2">aan>use the ego is "this world", forms in this world an class="hi2">aan>re fixed in their function an class="hi2">aan>lso, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n only be used an class="hi2">aan>ccording to their properties or functions.

Your only choice with the ego is whether you pick it up an class="hi2">aan>nd USE it, or whether you put it down an class="hi2">aan>nd stop using it. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot chan class="hi2">aan>nge it into the truth. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot bring it with you into Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. You can class="hi2">aan>n't tran class="hi2">aan>nsform it to man class="hi2">aan>ke it more spirituan class="hi2">aan>l. You can class="hi2">aan>n't convince it than class="hi2">aan>t God's truth is true. You can class="hi2">aan>n't man class="hi2">aan>ke it listen or chan class="hi2">aan>nge its wan class="hi2">aan>ys. It is an class="hi2">aan> fixed-function tool than class="hi2">aan>t only does one thing an class="hi2">aan>nd never will do an class="hi2">aan>nything else.

When you an class="hi2">aan>re identified with this tool an class="hi2">aan>nd think it is your SELF, you will an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to chan class="hi2">aan>nge IT whenever you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to chan class="hi2">aan>nge YOU, an class="hi2">aan>nd it can class="hi2">aan>n't chan class="hi2">aan>nge. It will object an class="hi2">aan>nd see this an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> threan class="hi2">aan>t. It will produce an class="hi2">aan>n ego rebound, becan class="hi2">aan>use it does not wan class="hi2">aan>nt to an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>nnot wan class="hi2">aan>ke up, an class="hi2">aan>nd it can class="hi2">aan>nnot see the truth or understan class="hi2">aan>nd it or an class="hi2">aan>ccept it. The pan class="hi2">aan>rt of you than class="hi2">aan>t is still USING it does not wan class="hi2">aan>nt an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>nnot an class="hi2">aan>ccept the truth "through" it, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t pan class="hi2">aan>rt of you will see your an class="hi2">aan>ttempts to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to destroy yourself. i.e. to destroy your illusory "function".

The only rean class="hi2">aan>l choice for "becoming more spirituan class="hi2">aan>l" is to drop the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd stop using it, stop listening to it, stop identifying with it, stop trusting it, stop believing it, stop living through it, stop perceiving with it, an class="hi2">aan>nd stop trying to man class="hi2">aan>ke it be rean class="hi2">aan>l. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot keep it. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to let it go. To surrender everything than class="hi2">aan>t it tries to do. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>lso mean class="hi2">aan>ns giving up ITS illusory spirituan class="hi2">aan>l pan class="hi2">aan>th which is nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n exchan class="hi2">aan>nging one set of illusions for an class="hi2">aan>nother.

To become more an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of the truth an class="hi2">aan>bout you, you need to bring into question whether the ego you trust is rean class="hi2">aan>lly the truth, discern than class="hi2">aan>t it is fan class="hi2">aan>lse, recognize it an class="hi2">aan>s fan class="hi2">aan>lse, an class="hi2">aan>nd decide to an class="hi2">aan>ccept the rean class="hi2">aan>l truth an class="hi2">aan>s it is without your ego filtering it. The ego plan class="hi2">aan>ys no pan class="hi2">aan>rt in than class="hi2">aan>t, an class="hi2">aan>nd it's purely your decision to rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t your fan class="hi2">aan>lse identity is not your true self, than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re more than class="hi2">aan>n you an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r to be, than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>nything the ego describes or judges, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t your true nan class="hi2">aan>ture han class="hi2">aan>s not been chan class="hi2">aan>nged by your use of the ego device.

Your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening then is an class="hi2">aan> shift in IDENTITY, given than class="hi2">aan>t who you thought you were is not rean class="hi2">aan>lly who you an class="hi2">aan>re, an class="hi2">aan>nd is not the whole of who you an class="hi2">aan>re. You an class="hi2">aan>re more than class="hi2">aan>n you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of. You an class="hi2">aan>re more than class="hi2">aan>n the ego sees. You an class="hi2">aan>re more than class="hi2">aan>n your body.

Man class="hi2">aan>ny people han class="hi2">aan>ving the san class="hi2">aan>me subjective experience is not objective rean class="hi2">aan>lity, but it can class="hi2">aan>n pan class="hi2">aan>ss for it.

When you can class="hi2">aan>n question whan class="hi2">aan>t's han class="hi2">aan>ppening an class="hi2">aan>nd step outside of it, coming to an class="hi2">aan> different belief an class="hi2">aan>nd perspective, suddenly you will notice than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>ny things you an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>ssumed were norman class="hi2">aan>l or nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>re not.

This han class="hi2">aan>ppened to me in an class="hi2">aan> big wan class="hi2">aan>y for exan class="hi2">aan>mple when I immigran class="hi2">aan>ted from the UK to the USan class="hi2">Aan>. Han class="hi2">aan>ving grown up in one country, surrounded an class="hi2">aan>nd immersed in an class="hi2">aan> culture, where everyone else took on the san class="hi2">aan>me collective sense of identity an class="hi2">aan>nd norman class="hi2">aan>lity, an class="hi2">aan>s soon an class="hi2">aan>s I left it I stan class="hi2">aan>rted to see things differently.

Suddenly man class="hi2">aan>ny man class="hi2">aan>ny things which I thought were completely norman class="hi2">aan>l, than class="hi2">aan>t were the san class="hi2">aan>me everywhere, than class="hi2">aan>t were nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd inherent not only to the culture but to who I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> person, were not necessan class="hi2">aan>rily so. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns han class="hi2">aan>ving to stan class="hi2">aan>rt to sort out whan class="hi2">aan>t is true an class="hi2">aan>bout me, versus whan class="hi2">aan>t is not an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n inherent pan class="hi2">aan>rt of my "self".

an class="hi2">Aan>nd so I stan class="hi2">aan>rted to han class="hi2">aan>ve to "let go" of van class="hi2">aan>rious an class="hi2">aan>spects of identity within myself which I han class="hi2">aan>d come to relan class="hi2">aan>te to an class="hi2">aan>s "me", which were commonan class="hi2">aan>lities shan class="hi2">aan>red with other people, an class="hi2">aan>nd to sort out... well, wan class="hi2">aan>s this an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly pan class="hi2">aan>rt of me or wan class="hi2">aan>s this just something I an class="hi2">aan>ssumed an class="hi2">aan>nd took on becan class="hi2">aan>use it's whan class="hi2">aan>t everyone wan class="hi2">aan>s doing?

I han class="hi2">aan>d to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly go through quite an class="hi2">aan> grieving process for the loss of my "old identity", the sense of self than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s being shown to be not an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly who I an class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan>nd instean class="hi2">aan>d something than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s somehow man class="hi2">aan>de up - ban class="hi2">aan>ggan class="hi2">aan>ge an class="hi2">aan>nd unconscious identifican class="hi2">aan>tions, which I an class="hi2">aan>bsorbed from the collective subjectivity I an class="hi2">aan>nd my fellow countrymen lived inside of.

It's the san class="hi2">aan>me with the ego in an class="hi2">aan>ny situan class="hi2">aan>tion. When we an class="hi2">aan>re immersed in it we do not see it. We don't even know it's there. It's like we're living in an class="hi2">aan> bubble of unconsciousness, an class="hi2">aan>ssuming than class="hi2">aan>t it is norman class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd mean class="hi2">aan>nt to be this wan class="hi2">aan>y. We don't even see an class="hi2">aan> need to question it. We just an class="hi2">aan>ccept it an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>llow it into ourselves an class="hi2">aan>s if it's totan class="hi2">aan>lly norman class="hi2">aan>l.|

But you step outside of than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>rt to gan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan> sense of contran class="hi2">aan>st, than class="hi2">aan>t something else man class="hi2">aan>y be true, or there is an class="hi2">aan> bigger picture, or this isn't the wan class="hi2">aan>y people an class="hi2">aan>re everywhere, an class="hi2">aan>nd you'll soon stan class="hi2">aan>rt to *recognize* the illusion of isolan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>lse identity for whan class="hi2">aan>t it is. Than class="hi2">aan>t is is not nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l, or norman class="hi2">aan>l, or an class="hi2">aan> given. It's not something to an class="hi2">aan>ssume is the "wan class="hi2">aan>y things an class="hi2">aan>re" everywhere. There is more. There is more to who you an class="hi2">aan>re than class="hi2">aan>t you didn't even rean class="hi2">aan>lize, becan class="hi2">aan>use it wan class="hi2">aan>s buried under this blindness.

We become blind when we're lost in an class="hi2">aan> collective, shan class="hi2">aan>red delusion. We're blind becan class="hi2">aan>use there is nothing contran class="hi2">aan>sting to show us, this isn't the whole truth, this isn't the wan class="hi2">aan>y thing an class="hi2">aan>re, or this isn't the wan class="hi2">aan>y to exist nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>lly. Without an class="hi2">aan> sense of an class="hi2">aan> bigger perspective or an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>rger truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ving lost touch with the truth of God, we become lost in illusions. We don't suspect them becan class="hi2">aan>use there's nothing to san class="hi2">aan>y, hey, there is an class="hi2">aan>nother wan class="hi2">aan>y.

When we an class="hi2">aan>re surrounded for exan class="hi2">aan>mple by friends who we an class="hi2">aan>re close to an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> lot in common with, there is very little "resistan class="hi2">aan>nce" with these people. They don't likely push an class="hi2">aan>nd chan class="hi2">aan>llenge or upset us. The ego keeps these an class="hi2">aan>llian class="hi2">aan>nces in order to not threan class="hi2">aan>ten its beliefs. If we an class="hi2">aan>re surrounded with like-minded people it can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan> tran class="hi2">aan>p becan class="hi2">aan>use it gives us the illusion than class="hi2">aan>t there is no conflict. We're simply an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>greeing to shan class="hi2">aan>re the san class="hi2">aan>me stan class="hi2">aan>te of sickness, an class="hi2">aan>nd thus not see an class="hi2">aan> sense of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between us.

When you an class="hi2">aan>re surrounded with people you do not get an class="hi2">aan>long with or who upset you or you don't like their vibe or whan class="hi2">aan>tever, you notice the contran class="hi2">aan>st more an class="hi2">aan>nd you see the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion more. This can class="hi2">aan>n be helpful in identifying where you an class="hi2">aan>re unconscious an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t issues you han class="hi2">aan>ven't forgiven. It's simply than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re then confronted with evidence than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t you thought wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> nice little cosy bubble of an class="hi2">aan>greean class="hi2">aan>bility wan class="hi2">aan>s in fan class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan> prison, isolan class="hi2">aan>ting you from an class="hi2">aan>nd hiding you from the truth.

Ignoran class="hi2">aan>nce is bliss. 1000 people an class="hi2">aan>greeing than class="hi2">aan>t something is norman class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l does not man class="hi2">aan>ke it norman class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l.

Can you forgive a racial slur from a person with tourettes?

an class="hi2">Aan>t the Ban class="hi2">Aan>FTan class="hi2">Aan> an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>rds this yean class="hi2">aan>r, the an class="hi2">aan>ctor in the very good film "I swean class="hi2">aan>r", an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>n with tourettes, won an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>rd. It's definitely worth an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>tch if you han class="hi2">aan>ven't seen it.

Lan class="hi2">aan>ter, there wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>rd being presented by two blan class="hi2">aan>ck men. While on stan class="hi2">aan>ge, an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>udience member with tourettes shouted out an class="hi2">aan> ran class="hi2">aan>cian class="hi2">aan>l slur, using the "n word".

Now, some people han class="hi2">aan>ve san class="hi2">aan>id than class="hi2">aan>t this is "unforgivan class="hi2">aan>ble" becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan> person using an class="hi2">aan> ran class="hi2">aan>cian class="hi2">aan>l slur like this "under an class="hi2">aan>ny circumstan class="hi2">aan>nces" is intoleran class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>nd wrong. Indeed it's not idean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd something to perhan class="hi2">aan>ps an class="hi2">aan>pologise for.

But an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time, we han class="hi2">aan>ve to an class="hi2">aan>lso remember than class="hi2">aan>t the person with tourettes doesn't han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">Aan>NY control over their outburst. It's an class="hi2">aan> bran class="hi2">aan>in condition than class="hi2">aan>t produces spontan class="hi2">aan>neous eruptions of expression, which the person can class="hi2">aan>nnot stop.

So given than class="hi2">aan>t it erupted "involuntan class="hi2">aan>rily", the forgiving view should be with understan class="hi2">aan>nding an class="hi2">aan>nd compan class="hi2">aan>ssion, than class="hi2">aan>t it is not offensive becan class="hi2">aan>use it wan class="hi2">aan>s not intentionan class="hi2">aan>l or controlled or deliberan class="hi2">aan>te. If people understood the tourettes condition they would be much more forgiving.

I thought it wan class="hi2">aan>s interesting how this highlights the difference in perspectives of forgiveness vs unforgiveness. It's not an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens, or whan class="hi2">aan>t someone san class="hi2">aan>ys, or the form than class="hi2">aan>t it tan class="hi2">aan>kes. It's an class="hi2">aan>bout how you look an class="hi2">aan>t it an class="hi2">aan>nd how you use it.

an class="hi2">Aan> person could use the ran class="hi2">aan>cian class="hi2">aan>l slur to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck themselves an class="hi2">aan>nd thus believes they han class="hi2">aan>ve been an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked by the other people. Or they could an class="hi2">aan>lternan class="hi2">aan>tively han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> more forgiving an class="hi2">aan>ttitude in which they recognize the disan class="hi2">aan>bility or "can class="hi2">aan>ll for love" in the other person an class="hi2">aan>nd do not hold it an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst them, nor use it to hurt themselves.

We han class="hi2">aan>ve to remember than class="hi2">aan>t if we see ourselves an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked in an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y, it is becan class="hi2">aan>use of our USE OF whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t we man class="hi2">aan>ke of it psychologican class="hi2">aan>lly. an class="hi2">Aan>nd just becan class="hi2">aan>use someone else might san class="hi2">aan>y something "potentian class="hi2">aan>lly hurtful" it doesn't mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t we han class="hi2">aan>ve to experience it than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>y, or than class="hi2">aan>t if we feel hurt it is "becan class="hi2">aan>use of" whan class="hi2">aan>t they san class="hi2">aan>id or did. We an class="hi2">aan>re hurt only if we choose to use it to hurt ourselves.

This is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the secret of san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion, than class="hi2">aan>t no-man class="hi2">aan>tter who seems to be doing whan class="hi2">aan>t to whom, who seems to be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cker or victimiser or victim, you an class="hi2">aan>re STILL doing it to yourself. Becan class="hi2">aan>use than class="hi2">aan>t very san class="hi2">aan>me person who wan class="hi2">aan>s upset an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan> tourettes person using the n-word, han class="hi2">aan>s within their can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>bility the an class="hi2">aan>bility to forgive it an class="hi2">aan>nd NOT see it an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, not use it to justify an class="hi2">aan>nger, not use it to hurt themselves, an class="hi2">aan>nd to not give it an class="hi2">aan>ny power over them.

But if they chose not to do than class="hi2">aan>t, they would instean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to an class="hi2">aan>ccuse the tourettes person of an class="hi2">aan> "sin", truly unforgivan class="hi2">aan>ble, an class="hi2">aan>s though the can class="hi2">aan>use of their own suffering. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is the ego's victim consciousness. It is entirely up to ean class="hi2">aan>ch of us whether we will tan class="hi2">aan>ke full responsibility for everything we feel an class="hi2">aan>nd experience or not, or whether we will hold other people an class="hi2">aan>ccountan class="hi2">aan>ble for "can class="hi2">aan>using us" to suffer.

an class="hi2">Aan> person plan class="hi2">aan>ying the victim role will see the mere "an class="hi2">aan>ct" of the slur an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, an class="hi2">aan>nd believe than class="hi2">aan>t it han class="hi2">aan>s direct can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l power, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s plan class="hi2">aan>ced within themselves an class="hi2">aan> "hurt", which now justifies an class="hi2">aan>ngry revenge. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is the closed-minded view of the ego., which does not see than class="hi2">aan>t the victim is an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking themselves WITH whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens. This is the unforgiveness of fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception.

This is spirituan class="hi2">aan>l unconsciousness.

When you an class="hi2">aan>re in this world an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re in two minds, ie you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n ego an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore two wills, you an class="hi2">aan>re literan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst yourself. You an class="hi2">aan>re experiencing self an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck. Your will an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>mbitions will be thwan class="hi2">aan>rted, san class="hi2">aan>botan class="hi2">aan>ged an class="hi2">aan>nd undermined. You will become "stuck", ineffective, powerless an class="hi2">aan>nd frozen.

Ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely this lean class="hi2">aan>ds to fean class="hi2">aan>r which will stop you in your tran class="hi2">aan>cks. Fean class="hi2">aan>r is an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of intensely experiencing sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between yourself an class="hi2">aan>nd yourself, where one pan class="hi2">aan>rt of you seems like you an class="hi2">aan>nd the rest seems like an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te enemy. Fean class="hi2">aan>r is pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>lyzing. It puts an class="hi2">aan> freeze on an class="hi2">aan>ction, it strips both pan class="hi2">aan>rts of mind of an class="hi2">aan>ll power, collan class="hi2">aan>pses the power of will an class="hi2">aan>nd is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to extinguish yourself.

No wonder then than class="hi2">aan>t when your mind is split, you can class="hi2">aan>nnot man class="hi2">aan>nifest miran class="hi2">aan>cles, you can class="hi2">aan>nnot see yourself an class="hi2">aan>s shan class="hi2">aan>ring God's power, you do not see yourself an class="hi2">aan>s can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd every time you try to even perform an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle it becomes thwan class="hi2">aan>rted an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing seems to han class="hi2">aan>ppen. You get used to this mode of being un-mran class="hi2">aan>culous, believing it is norman class="hi2">aan>l to han class="hi2">aan>ve no power over an class="hi2">aan>nything.

The only rean class="hi2">aan>son you can class="hi2">aan>n't man class="hi2">aan>ke objects move, ran class="hi2">aan>ise the dean class="hi2">aan>d, hean class="hi2">aan>l the sick, levitan class="hi2">aan>te or whan class="hi2">aan>tever else, is becan class="hi2">aan>use your mind an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>rt is not WHOLE, with an class="hi2">aan> single focus or goan class="hi2">aan>l. It is divided an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst itself. You try to can class="hi2">aan>use stuff to han class="hi2">aan>ppen, but the rest of you tries to stop it.

an class="hi2">Aan> simple exan class="hi2">aan>mple is than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to produce an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle but you "an class="hi2">aan>sk" for something to chan class="hi2">aan>nge, you fean class="hi2">aan>r than class="hi2">aan>t it won't chan class="hi2">aan>nge, you han class="hi2">aan>ve doubt an class="hi2">aan>bout seeing results, you look to form to chan class="hi2">aan>nge to see if something worked, an class="hi2">aan>nd generan class="hi2">aan>lly undermine yourself. You wan class="hi2">aan>ver. You lose sight of the truth. You listen to other people's doubts an class="hi2">aan>nd buy into the an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nce than class="hi2">aan>t it isn't working. You listen to the ego. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>ncels your efforts.

But you'll think than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll of these things an class="hi2">aan>re han class="hi2">aan>ppening an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will or than class="hi2">aan>t you're rean class="hi2">aan>lly trying han class="hi2">aan>rd to man class="hi2">aan>ke this miran class="hi2">aan>cle han class="hi2">aan>ppen. Pan class="hi2">Aan>RT of you is. ONE of your wills is. But you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>nother sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted will - pan class="hi2">aan>rt 2 - which you an class="hi2">aan>re still an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly USING, an class="hi2">aan>lbeit lan class="hi2">aan>rgely unconsciously, to san class="hi2">aan>botan class="hi2">aan>ge your efforts.

Your belief in fean class="hi2">aan>r splits your will. Your belief in an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck of an class="hi2">aan>uthority splits your will. Your belief in not being completely can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l, or not han class="hi2">aan>ving power over an class="hi2">aan>nything, splits your mind. If your mind becomes split like this, you an class="hi2">aan>re literan class="hi2">aan>lly working an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst yourself. One han class="hi2">aan>nd is rean class="hi2">aan>ching to express an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle, the other quickly wrestles with it an class="hi2">aan>nd stops it. Not physican class="hi2">aan>lly, but in your mind an class="hi2">aan>nd perception.

To work miran class="hi2">aan>cles requires an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>llegian class="hi2">aan>nce to the truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> loyan class="hi2">aan>lty an class="hi2">aan>nd clan class="hi2">aan>rity an class="hi2">aan>bout stan class="hi2">aan>ying true to it no man class="hi2">aan>tter whan class="hi2">aan>t illusions present. Holding fan class="hi2">aan>st regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of things an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ring to not work, or even if they seem to become worse. Is it the truth? No. But if you tan class="hi2">aan>ke it in an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ke it rean class="hi2">aan>l, than class="hi2">aan>t's you using the other han class="hi2">aan>lf of your will an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst yourself.

The only rean class="hi2">aan>son than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle won't han class="hi2">aan>ppen, effectively, is becan class="hi2">aan>use you stopped being can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd turned yourself into an class="hi2">aan>n effect. You pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>lyzed yourself - dis-empowered yourself. It is your fan class="hi2">aan>lse perceptions which strip you of your shan class="hi2">aan>ring of God's power. You can class="hi2">aan>n't work miran class="hi2">aan>cles when you're divided an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst yourself an class="hi2">aan>nd thus God. It's like an class="hi2">aan>sking God to stop flowing. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns you do not rean class="hi2">aan>lly know whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nt, an class="hi2">aan>nd uncertan class="hi2">aan>inty does not produce the certan class="hi2">aan>inty of God's power.

an class="hi2">Aan>nother wan class="hi2">aan>y of san class="hi2">aan>ying than class="hi2">aan>t is than class="hi2">aan>t when your mind/will is split, you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>sking for two things an class="hi2">aan>t once, which is like an class="hi2">aan>sking for nothing clean class="hi2">aan>rly an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. So you get nothing, or you "mis-crean class="hi2">aan>te", an class="hi2">aan>nd end up with effects than class="hi2">aan>t you don't think you an class="hi2">aan>sked for.

When you "an class="hi2">aan>sk" by focusing on only one thing, wholly an class="hi2">aan>nd clean class="hi2">aan>rly, it must be given you. Therefore rean class="hi2">aan>lize if the only thing stopping your miran class="hi2">aan>cles wan class="hi2">aan>s your own divided will, once your will, mind an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>re whole, you will not stop yourself, an class="hi2">aan>nd no-one else han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ny power to do so either. an class="hi2">Aan>nything is possible.

Being so used to han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> split will, which renders us pran class="hi2">aan>ctican class="hi2">aan>lly powerless an class="hi2">aan>nd inept, we an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>ccustomed to being solely can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l. We an class="hi2">aan>re not used to the power of the mind when it is expresses in one direction, with one intention, one focus, one belief, one thought, one love. We an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>ccustomed to giving an class="hi2">aan>nd receiving being one. an class="hi2">Aan>nd we an class="hi2">aan>re not used to han class="hi2">aan>ving so much an class="hi2">aan>uthority over illusions.

The mind han class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>ssive crean class="hi2">aan>tive power. It never stops being crean class="hi2">aan>tive, Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys. It's just than class="hi2">aan>t we keep using it an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst itself an class="hi2">aan>nd thus keep mis-crean class="hi2">aan>ting, producing effects which conflict with pan class="hi2">aan>rt of whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>sked for, or we crean class="hi2">aan>te things which an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck ourselves, or things which seem unwan class="hi2">aan>nted or an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. There an class="hi2">aan>re no mistan class="hi2">aan>kes. You an class="hi2">Aan>RE getting whan class="hi2">aan>t you're an class="hi2">aan>sking for, it's just than class="hi2">aan>t you keep an class="hi2">aan>sking from an class="hi2">aan> confused stan class="hi2">aan>te of not rean class="hi2">aan>lly knowing whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nt.

Whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens when you can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd you do not stop yourself? You crean class="hi2">aan>te. Than class="hi2">aan>t's whan class="hi2">aan>t produces miran class="hi2">aan>cles, man class="hi2">aan>nifestan class="hi2">aan>tions, signs, hean class="hi2">aan>lings, wonders, etc. Jesus wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>sterful an class="hi2">aan>t this, coming from such an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of pure love than class="hi2">aan>t He could express an class="hi2">aan>ll of God's power, undivided, certan class="hi2">aan>in, with grean class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>uthority, an class="hi2">aan>nd there wan class="hi2">aan>s nothing He could not do. You can class="hi2">aan>n be this wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>lso.

I an class="hi2">aan>sked Holy Spirit how better to produce miran class="hi2">aan>cles. He san class="hi2">aan>id, "be truth." Truth is an class="hi2">aan>bsolute. an class="hi2">Aan>ll or nothing. Commitment. Certan class="hi2">aan>inty. Confidence. an class="hi2">Aan>uthority. Power.

What is a miracle?

Ok let's brean class="hi2">aan>k down this pan class="hi2">aan>ssan class="hi2">aan>ge an class="hi2">aan>nd find out whan class="hi2">aan>t it's san class="hi2">aan>ying.

"an class="hi2">Aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is an class="hi2">aan> correction."

Before the correction, your mind is in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of confusion, dan class="hi2">aan>rkness ego. You an class="hi2">aan>re on an class="hi2">aan> lower rung of the lan class="hi2">aan>dder. The correction corrects your mind an class="hi2">aan>nd ran class="hi2">aan>ises you up to an class="hi2">aan> higher rung on the lan class="hi2">aan>dder. The fan class="hi2">aan>lse belief, mistan class="hi2">aan>ken perception, block to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, denian class="hi2">aan>l etc is "corrected" ie hean class="hi2">aan>led, an class="hi2">aan>nd your mind opens up to some light. This an class="hi2">aan>lters your perception indirectly.

"It does not crean class="hi2">aan>te, nor rean class="hi2">aan>lly chan class="hi2">aan>nge an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. It merely looks on devan class="hi2">aan>stan class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd reminds the mind than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t it sees is fan class="hi2">aan>lse."

Being "like drops of hean class="hi2">aan>ling ran class="hi2">aan>in", miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> little bit like detergent or soan class="hi2">aan>p for your mind. The correction an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly comes from an class="hi2">aan> higher level, e.g. the eyes of christ or through Jesus or Holy Spirit. The miran class="hi2">aan>cle shines or blesses or soan class="hi2">aan>ks into the "corrupted thought", the illusion, the fan class="hi2">aan>lse belief, the dan class="hi2">aan>rkness, an class="hi2">aan>nd "fixes it". Clean class="hi2">aan>ns it up. Gets rid of the blockan class="hi2">aan>ges an class="hi2">aan>nd dirt in the mind. To remind your mind than class="hi2">aan>t illusions an class="hi2">aan>re fan class="hi2">aan>lse, it lifts your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness up towan class="hi2">aan>rds forgiveness, into the light, where you han class="hi2">aan>ve the correct perspective ie the stan class="hi2">aan>te of forgiveness. They hean class="hi2">aan>l you so than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n recognize whan class="hi2">aan>t is true an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>lse ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n being confused. It doesn't han class="hi2">aan>ve to an class="hi2">aan>dd an class="hi2">aan>nything to do this (other than class="hi2">aan>n love which wan class="hi2">aan>s lan class="hi2">aan>cking - "miran class="hi2">aan>cles supply an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck" of love/life).

"It undoes error, but does not an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to go beyond perception, nor exceed the function of forgiveness. Thus it stan class="hi2">aan>ys within time's limits."

So this tan class="hi2">aan>kes plan class="hi2">aan>ce in your mind within the ran class="hi2">aan>nge of perception between fan class="hi2">aan>lse an class="hi2">aan>nd true perception. You stan class="hi2">aan>rt out perceiving an class="hi2">aan>nd believing fan class="hi2">aan>lsely an class="hi2">aan>nd the miran class="hi2">aan>cle drips into your mind an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ls the error, undoes the blockan class="hi2">aan>ge or confused belief, an class="hi2">aan>nd ran class="hi2">aan>ises the mind up towan class="hi2">aan>rd the an class="hi2">aan>tonement. It can class="hi2">aan>n't lift you up an class="hi2">aan>ny higher than class="hi2">aan>n perception will go ie up towan class="hi2">aan>rds an class="hi2">aan>tonement/forgiveness becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>ll they do is essentian class="hi2">aan>lly "remove ego."

"Yet it pan class="hi2">aan>ves the wan class="hi2">aan>y for the return of timelessness an class="hi2">aan>nd love's an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening, for fean class="hi2">aan>r must slip an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y under the gentle remedy it gives."

Note than class="hi2">aan>t Jesus elsewhere stan class="hi2">aan>tes than class="hi2">aan>t "hean class="hi2">aan>ling is NOT an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle." Nor an class="hi2">aan>re shifts in perception, which an class="hi2">aan>re temporan class="hi2">aan>ry effects. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles in fan class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>re like nuggets of light, span class="hi2">aan>rks, impulses, energy, love-power-bubbles, which come down from an class="hi2">aan> higher level an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>l the mind, lifting it up an class="hi2">aan>nd returning it to life ie resurrection. Miran class="hi2">aan>cle an class="hi2">aan>re the REMEDY, which can class="hi2">aan>use hean class="hi2">aan>ling an class="hi2">aan>nd shifting to occur, but miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re independent of the hean class="hi2">aan>ling or shifts. They an class="hi2">aan>re not the hean class="hi2">aan>ling itself, they an class="hi2">aan>re the "hean class="hi2">aan>ler" or hean class="hi2">aan>ling an class="hi2">aan>gent. They prepan class="hi2">aan>re the mind for being in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion by gran class="hi2">aan>duan class="hi2">aan>lly eran class="hi2">aan>sing an class="hi2">aan>ll the ego junk an class="hi2">aan>nd setting you free. They an class="hi2">aan>lso can class="hi2">aan>n be tran class="hi2">aan>nsferred, given, sent, broan class="hi2">aan>dcan class="hi2">aan>st to others like an class="hi2">aan> little pan class="hi2">aan>ckan class="hi2">aan>ge of life-force, can class="hi2">aan>using resurrection.

"an class="hi2">Aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle contan class="hi2">aan>ins the gift of gran class="hi2">aan>ce, for it is given an class="hi2">aan>nd received an class="hi2">aan>s one. an class="hi2">Aan>nd thus it illustran class="hi2">aan>tes the lan class="hi2">aan>w of truth the world does not obey, becan class="hi2">aan>use it fan class="hi2">aan>ils entirely to understan class="hi2">aan>nd its wan class="hi2">aan>ys."

For miran class="hi2">aan>cles to occur, or for you to "do them", you han class="hi2">aan>ve to GIVE them ie to extend love. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot give miran class="hi2">aan>cles without receiving them an class="hi2">aan>lso, an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>nnot receive them unless you an class="hi2">aan>re willing to give them. Giving miran class="hi2">aan>cles to others, ie extending christ love, blesses both of you, an class="hi2">aan>nd lifts you both up, an class="hi2">aan>nd benefits both the giver an class="hi2">aan>nd the receiver simultan class="hi2">aan>neously. When you send love to someone, you will feel invigoran class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>nd lightened. You can class="hi2">aan>n't love without being loved. Nor can class="hi2">aan>n you perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles unless you an class="hi2">aan>re willing to an class="hi2">aan>lso be hean class="hi2">aan>led. This is the opposite to the world's lan class="hi2">aan>ws which san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t you receive without giving or give without receiving, an class="hi2">aan>s in the unhean class="hi2">aan>led hean class="hi2">aan>ler.

"an class="hi2">Aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle inverts perception which wan class="hi2">aan>s upside-down before, an class="hi2">aan>nd thus it ends the stran class="hi2">aan>nge distortions than class="hi2">aan>t were man class="hi2">aan>nifest."

This is an class="hi2">aan>n importan class="hi2">aan>nt pan class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>bout body hean class="hi2">aan>ling. Perception is upside down or ban class="hi2">aan>ckwan class="hi2">aan>rds, when whan class="hi2">aan>t is true is mistan class="hi2">aan>ken for whan class="hi2">aan>t is fan class="hi2">aan>lse an class="hi2">aan>nd vice versan class="hi2">aan>. Levels become confused, an class="hi2">aan>nd e.g. the lower level is thought to can class="hi2">aan>use the higher, or body can class="hi2">aan>uses mind, or world/drean class="hi2">aan>m can class="hi2">aan>uses the drean class="hi2">aan>mer. This is corrected becan class="hi2">aan>use the distorted beliefs an class="hi2">aan>re undone (victimhood etc) an class="hi2">aan>nd the mind is hean class="hi2">aan>led, thus perception chan class="hi2">aan>nges an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> RESULT of mind hean class="hi2">aan>ling. Note than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t you perceive comes from whan class="hi2">aan>t you project FIRST, which comes from whan class="hi2">aan>t you believe an class="hi2">aan>nd van class="hi2">aan>lue an class="hi2">aan>s true FIRST. Perception han class="hi2">aan>s no can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l power in it, it's pan class="hi2">aan>ssive, like rean class="hi2">aan>ding an class="hi2">aan> book. Note than class="hi2">aan>t "perception is an class="hi2">aan> RESULT not an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use".

In an class="hi2">aan>ddition, the "stran class="hi2">aan>nge distortions than class="hi2">aan>t were man class="hi2">aan>nifest" includes THE BODY'S PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>L SICKNESS, becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>n unforgiving mind FORCES the body into sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th. The body becomes "distorted" by the mind through kind of "mind-force fields", which an class="hi2">aan>ct on the body when coming from unloving an class="hi2">aan>ttitudes an class="hi2">aan>nd "hurt" the body, distorting it into forms of sickness, an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from the body's "nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l" blueprint of hean class="hi2">aan>lthy functioning. When the mind is han class="hi2">aan>ving upside-down/ban class="hi2">aan>ckwan class="hi2">aan>rds beliefs/perceptions, it is believing in sin an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, is projecting onto the body, an class="hi2">aan>nd is using the body an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> wean class="hi2">aan>pon. Thus the body becomes sick. an class="hi2">Aan>s mind is receiving/giving an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle, mind is hean class="hi2">aan>led, the remedy is provided, perception an class="hi2">aan>uto-an class="hi2">aan>djusts an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result, an class="hi2">Aan>ND the "stran class="hi2">aan>nge distortions than class="hi2">aan>t were Man class="hi2">Aan>NIFEST (visible)" in the body an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lso corrected. They simply an class="hi2">aan>re reversed an class="hi2">aan>nd disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r becan class="hi2">aan>use the mind stops holding the body in an class="hi2">aan> twisted forman class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd lifts an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck from it, thus hean class="hi2">aan>ling it an class="hi2">aan>nd restoring it. "Now is the body hean class="hi2">aan>led by miran class="hi2">aan>cles."

So moving upwan class="hi2">aan>rds towan class="hi2">aan>rds forgiveness, receiving hean class="hi2">aan>ling, being corrected, han class="hi2">aan>ving fan class="hi2">aan>lse beliefs undone, moving into the light an class="hi2">aan>nd love, hean class="hi2">aan>ls the mind, fixes perception, an class="hi2">aan>nd then an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS results in the body being hean class="hi2">aan>led. Or ran class="hi2">aan>ther, "un-an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked".

"For this one an class="hi2">aan>nswer Tan class="hi2">Aan>KES an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>Y the can class="hi2">aan>use of every form of sorrow an class="hi2">aan>nd of pan class="hi2">aan>in."

"It tan class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y the guilt than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes the sickness possible."

"Now in the han class="hi2">aan>nds man class="hi2">aan>de gentle by His touch, the Holy Spirit lan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan> picture of an class="hi2">aan> DIFFERENT you. It is an class="hi2">aan> picture of an class="hi2">aan> body still, for whan class="hi2">aan>t you REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>n not be seen nor pictured. But THIS one han class="hi2">aan>s NOT been used for purpose of an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore never suffered pan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll."

"Now is the body hean class="hi2">aan>led becan class="hi2">aan>use the source of sickness han class="hi2">aan>s been opened to relief."

The miran class="hi2">aan>cles don't "do" something to the body so much an class="hi2">aan>s they CEan class="hi2">Aan>SE the ego doings than class="hi2">aan>t were an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking it an class="hi2">aan>nd which were BLOCKING love from shining on the body to hean class="hi2">aan>l it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd without constan class="hi2">aan>nt ego distortion the body iman class="hi2">aan>ge "reverts" to its undistorted form. To me it's kind of like the body han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>ndan class="hi2">aan>rd hean class="hi2">aan>lthy form an class="hi2">aan>nd then mind "twists, bends, distorts it" man class="hi2">aan>king it an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r differently (an class="hi2">aan>s sickness), but if you remove the distorting/force-fields/mind-bending you're simply left with the hean class="hi2">aan>lthy body showing up.

"Now is perception open to the truth. Now is forgiveness seen an class="hi2">aan>s justified."

Once the miran class="hi2">aan>cle han class="hi2">aan>s done its hean class="hi2">aan>ling, mind is corrected so perception is in line with truth an class="hi2">aan>nd forgiveness is seen an class="hi2">aan>s the only san class="hi2">aan>ne wan class="hi2">aan>y to see things. Unforgiveness is whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s been undone. Remember "the miran class="hi2">aan>cle does nothing. It merely tan class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y..." (which is kind of an class="hi2">aan> doing) an class="hi2">aan>nd it removes the distortions... it does an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r thus to DO something, it does hean class="hi2">aan>l the body an class="hi2">aan>s well, it's just than class="hi2">aan>t it does it by UNDOING the ego influence an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>ncelling the evil distortions.

"Forgiveness is the home of miran class="hi2">aan>cles. The eyes of Christ deliver them to an class="hi2">aan>ll they look upon in mercy an class="hi2">aan>nd in love. "

Here Jesus is kind of shifting gean class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>nd is no longer tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout how miran class="hi2">aan>cles hean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd move you up towan class="hi2">aan>rds forgiveness, but is now tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout where miran class="hi2">aan>cle an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly COME FROM - from the top down. e.g. "Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> universan class="hi2">aan>l blessing from God through me to an class="hi2">aan>ll my brothers." Being IN forgiveness, han class="hi2">aan>ving RECEIVED an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle, an class="hi2">aan>nd your mind now being CORRECT, YOU now "deliver them" to an class="hi2">aan>ll you look on an class="hi2">aan>nd miran class="hi2">aan>cles become effortless EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE which han class="hi2">aan>ve miran class="hi2">aan>cle-working can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>bilities, becan class="hi2">aan>use love hean class="hi2">aan>ls an class="hi2">aan>nd undoes error. You can class="hi2">aan>n now bestow miran class="hi2">aan>cle onto others from an class="hi2">aan> christ-minded stan class="hi2">aan>te of love an class="hi2">aan>nd GIVE the miran class="hi2">aan>cles you han class="hi2">aan>ve received.

Note than class="hi2">aan>t this ran class="hi2">aan>ises the question, who does or where does the miran class="hi2">aan>cle come from when you personan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of hell? an class="hi2">Aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rently you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>ble to DO them until you an class="hi2">aan>re loving enough an class="hi2">aan>nd close enough to christ. "Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re everyone's right but purifican class="hi2">aan>tion is necessan class="hi2">aan>ry first." WHO bestows miran class="hi2">aan>cles on you when YOU an class="hi2">aan>re in the dan class="hi2">aan>rk? Is it an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>ling than class="hi2">aan>t comes from the Holy Spirit? Does Jesus inject hean class="hi2">aan>ling into your mind, like he san class="hi2">aan>ys he does? "I inspire an class="hi2">aan>ll miran class="hi2">aan>cles" etc. Certan class="hi2">aan>inly your distorted ego is not an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker, nor is an class="hi2">aan>ny beginner to the course. Yet you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ble to find hean class="hi2">aan>ling through forgiveness an class="hi2">aan>nd purifican class="hi2">aan>tion work, most of this purifican class="hi2">aan>tion work is I think NOT an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle.

"Miran class="hi2">aan>cles ENTan class="hi2">Aan>IL (require, before beginning to do them), an class="hi2">aan> sudden shift into vertican class="hi2">aan>l perception." Vertican class="hi2">aan>l perception is christ vision. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to be pretty an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>nced in your own mentan class="hi2">aan>lly hean class="hi2">aan>led stan class="hi2">aan>te in order to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to DO them. In order to receive them you han class="hi2">aan>ve to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to GIVE them. So somehow you han class="hi2">aan>ve to get yourself "high enough" first, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t tan class="hi2">aan>kes purifican class="hi2">aan>tion work.

Miracles are spectacles to induce belief? No, it is only a warning not a mandate

I keep hean class="hi2">aan>ring van class="hi2">aan>rious people san class="hi2">aan>y things like "using miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>s spectan class="hi2">aan>cles is wrong" an class="hi2">aan>nd van class="hi2">aan>rious other stan class="hi2">aan>tements which man class="hi2">aan>ke it sound like we should not be performing miran class="hi2">aan>cles.

These an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll ban class="hi2">aan>sed in fean class="hi2">aan>r!

Jesus's stan class="hi2">aan>tement (from an class="hi2">aan>n ean class="hi2">aan>rlier version) is: "(an class="hi2">Aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is misunderstood when it is regan class="hi2">aan>rded an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> spectan class="hi2">aan>cle.)

11. The use of miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> spectan class="hi2">aan>cle to induce belief is wrong. They an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>lly used for an class="hi2">aan>nd by believers."

Whan class="hi2">aan>t he is san class="hi2">aan>ying here, is than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re used BY believers - people who believe in the correct sequences of can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect, who believe God wan class="hi2">aan>nts to hean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ll the time, an class="hi2">aan>nd who an class="hi2">aan>re in touch with the willingness (not fean class="hi2">aan>r) to extend the miran class="hi2">aan>cles of love an class="hi2">aan>ll the time ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccept the consequences of sin.

He is an class="hi2">aan>lso san class="hi2">aan>ying here, than class="hi2">aan>t such miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re typican class="hi2">aan>lly given TO those who BELIEVE. Which mean class="hi2">aan>ns, someone, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> receiver, typican class="hi2">aan>lly needs to han class="hi2">aan>ve some fan class="hi2">aan>ith of their own, some belief in God, in order to be WILLING to receive an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle.

This an class="hi2">aan>ligns with the unfortunan class="hi2">aan>te scenan class="hi2">aan>rio, than class="hi2">aan>t if people do not wan class="hi2">aan>nt hean class="hi2">aan>ling or an class="hi2">aan>re not rean class="hi2">aan>dy for it, miran class="hi2">aan>cles can class="hi2">aan>nnot do an class="hi2">aan>nything to help them, especian class="hi2">aan>lly if they would scan class="hi2">aan>re them, an class="hi2">aan>nd quite honestly, miran class="hi2">aan>cles COULD produce fean class="hi2">aan>r in an class="hi2">aan> lot of people indirectly becan class="hi2">aan>use of the wan class="hi2">aan>y they totan class="hi2">aan>lly defy every expectan class="hi2">aan>tion of the ego.

So whan class="hi2">aan>t Jesus is san class="hi2">aan>ying is, since miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re typican class="hi2">aan>lly given BY someone who "believes", TO someone who han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st some mean class="hi2">aan>sure of belief, this is the nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles Can class="hi2">Aan>N operan class="hi2">aan>te. So when you try to go outside of than class="hi2">aan>t, to "induce belief", to enforce belief, to try to Man class="hi2">Aan>KE someone believe, or to perform an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst their will, for the sole purpose of trying to crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan> FICTIONan class="hi2">Aan>L scenan class="hi2">aan>rio where they might be shocked an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>wed an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>used to rean class="hi2">aan>ct in some wan class="hi2">aan>y, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> SUBSTITUTE FOR BELIEVING, than class="hi2">aan>t would be in an class="hi2">aan>pproprian class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke.

So you would not an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to use an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle to just entertan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan> crowd or to try to get people to follow you or to show off or to "force people" into complying or hean class="hi2">aan>ling or obeying or an class="hi2">aan>nything like than class="hi2">aan>t. This is becan class="hi2">aan>use miran class="hi2">aan>cles come from LOVE, love enters where it is WELCOME, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore it is LOVING not to try to coerce people with some kind of dan class="hi2">aan>zzling light show than class="hi2">aan>t is just there to be an class="hi2">aan> "spectan class="hi2">aan>cle". When we an class="hi2">aan>re using miran class="hi2">aan>cles in this wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>s spectan class="hi2">aan>cles for than class="hi2">aan>t sole purpose, we an class="hi2">aan>re ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to turn them INTO Man class="hi2">Aan>GIC, to put on an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>gic show, which han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>s its only purpose to delude an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>nipulan class="hi2">aan>te, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n to an class="hi2">Aan>CTUan class="hi2">Aan>LLY HEan class="hi2">Aan>L, or to be RECEIVan class="hi2">Aan>BLE by someone who believes in God's love for them.

This is an class="hi2">Aan>LL than class="hi2">aan>t Jesus is telling us not to do. He is not in an class="hi2">Aan>NY wan class="hi2">aan>y telling us not to perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles, NOR is he telling us than class="hi2">aan>t our miran class="hi2">aan>cles need to be SMan class="hi2">Aan>LL an class="hi2">Aan>ND WEan class="hi2">Aan>K an class="hi2">Aan>ND UNNOTICED. Nor is he telling us than class="hi2">aan>t we should not move an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l mountan class="hi2">aan>in, or even something bigger than class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t. Nor is he telling us to keep miran class="hi2">aan>cles on the HUSH HUSH an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ke sure no-one notices. Nor is he telling us to never show or demonstran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nything which someone looking on MIGHT come to be shocked an class="hi2">aan>nd in an class="hi2">aan>we of.

The ego is SUPPOSED TO BE Tan class="hi2">Aan>UGHT by an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle, than class="hi2">aan>t the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of the ego do not an class="hi2">aan>pply. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re tean class="hi2">aan>ching devices. They WILL BRING INTO QUESTION whan class="hi2">aan>t people believe is possible an class="hi2">aan>nd true.

The body is a dream

In times when I an class="hi2">aan>m moving into uncertan class="hi2">aan>inty an class="hi2">aan>bout whether it's true than class="hi2">aan>t this world is unrean class="hi2">aan>l, I refer ban class="hi2">aan>ck to some key stan class="hi2">aan>tements in the course which seem very clean class="hi2">aan>r to me. One of them is "the body is an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m".

This an class="hi2">aan>nchors the truth than class="hi2">aan>t the body, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore everything the body is man class="hi2">aan>de of, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore by extension an class="hi2">aan>nything ELSE in the san class="hi2">aan>me environment which is man class="hi2">aan>de of similan class="hi2">aan>r stuff or is covered by similan class="hi2">aan>r lan class="hi2">aan>ws, MUST an class="hi2">Aan>LSO be an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m.

This then implies logican class="hi2">aan>lly than class="hi2">aan>t the whole world an class="hi2">aan>nd universe is an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan>nd the body is merely one pan class="hi2">aan>rt or chan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>cter within than class="hi2">aan>t drean class="hi2">aan>m. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the course similan class="hi2">aan>rly ban class="hi2">aan>cks this up. The body is the hero of the drean class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan>nd it can class="hi2">aan>nnot exist WITHOUT an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m.

"The body is the centran class="hi2">aan>l figure in the drean class="hi2">aan>ming of the world. ****There IS no drean class="hi2">aan>m without it, nor does it exist without the drean class="hi2">aan>m****, in which it an class="hi2">aan>cts an class="hi2">aan>s if it were an class="hi2">aan> person, to be seen an class="hi2">aan>nd be believed."

"The an class="hi2">aan>bility to perceive man class="hi2">aan>de the body possible, becan class="hi2">aan>use you must perceive SOMETHING, an class="hi2">aan>nd WITH something."

"The drean class="hi2">aan>ming of the world tan class="hi2">aan>kes man class="hi2">aan>ny forms, becan class="hi2">aan>use the body seeks in man class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>ys to PROVE it is an class="hi2">aan>utonomous an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>l."

"Only the body man class="hi2">aan>kes the world seem rean class="hi2">aan>l."

The body IS an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n only exist INSIDE an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan>nd DEPENDS ON drean class="hi2">aan>ming, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>nnot exist WITHOUT drean class="hi2">aan>ming. Which mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t it REQUIRES SLEEP in the mind in order for an class="hi2">aan> DREan class="hi2">Aan>M to be tan class="hi2">aan>king plan class="hi2">aan>ce in order for an class="hi2">aan> body to show up. It exists WITHIN perception an class="hi2">aan>nd NOT in knowldge. There can class="hi2">aan>n be no body without this sleep, an class="hi2">aan>nd there can class="hi2">aan>n be no drean class="hi2">aan>m without this sleep.

Even those who seem to han class="hi2">aan>ve "an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of drean class="hi2">aan>ming", who seem more an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ke than class="hi2">aan>n others but still an class="hi2">aan>re in bodies, an class="hi2">aan>re still han class="hi2">aan>ving DREan class="hi2">Aan>M bodies. an class="hi2">Aan>nd these bodies an class="hi2">aan>re STILL drean class="hi2">aan>ms. an class="hi2">Aan>nd these people an class="hi2">aan>re STILL drean class="hi2">aan>ming. an class="hi2">Aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">Aan>RE DREan class="hi2">Aan>MING is not the end of drean class="hi2">aan>ming, it is merely an class="hi2">aan> point of perspective on the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re NOT an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>KE. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this perspective on being "an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ke in the drean class="hi2">aan>m" is NOT the san class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>s BEING FULLY an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>KE, never an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in to drean class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan> single drean class="hi2">aan>m.

"No-one an class="hi2">aan>sleep an class="hi2">aan>nd drean class="hi2">aan>ming in the world remembers his an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck upon himself. No-one believes there rean class="hi2">aan>lly wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> time when ****he knew nothing of an class="hi2">aan> body, an class="hi2">aan>nd could never han class="hi2">aan>ve conceived this world an class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l.**** He would han class="hi2">aan>ve seen an class="hi2">aan>t once than class="hi2">aan>t ****these idean class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>re one illusion****, too ridiculous for an class="hi2">aan>nything but to be lan class="hi2">aan>ughed an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y. How serious they now an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r to be!"

The metan class="hi2">aan>physics of this is very simple an class="hi2">aan>nd clean class="hi2">aan>r. When mind is FULLY an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>KE in hean class="hi2">aan>ven's rean class="hi2">aan>lity, there is NO drean class="hi2">aan>ming, NO sleep, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore there Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT BE BODIES. Bodies an class="hi2">aan>re drean class="hi2">aan>ms, an class="hi2">aan>nd unless you an class="hi2">aan>re drean class="hi2">aan>ming you can class="hi2">aan>nnot drean class="hi2">aan>m of bodies. Bodies an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>de up in the mind an class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the drean class="hi2">aan>ming process. They an class="hi2">aan>re chan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>cters in the drean class="hi2">aan>m. Just an class="hi2">aan>s trees an class="hi2">aan>nd houses an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>re chan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>cters in the drean class="hi2">aan>m. an class="hi2">Aan>nd none of them exist when you truly wan class="hi2">aan>ke up to Rean class="hi2">aan>lity.

"Whan class="hi2">aan>t seems to be the opposite of life (hean class="hi2">aan>ven - "there is no life outside of hean class="hi2">aan>ven") is merely sleeping. When the mind elects to be whan class="hi2">aan>t it is not, an class="hi2">aan>nd to an class="hi2">aan>ssume an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>lien power which it does not han class="hi2">aan>ve, an class="hi2">aan> foreign stan class="hi2">aan>te it can class="hi2">aan>nnot enter, or an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse condition not within its Source, it merely ****seems to go to sleep an class="hi2">aan> while. It drean class="hi2">aan>ms of time****; an class="hi2">aan>n intervan class="hi2">aan>l in which whan class="hi2">aan>t seems to han class="hi2">aan>ppen never han class="hi2">aan>s occurred, the chan class="hi2">aan>nges wrought an class="hi2">aan>re substan class="hi2">aan>nce-less, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll events an class="hi2">aan>re nowhere. When the mind an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kes, it but continues an class="hi2">aan>s it an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys wan class="hi2">aan>s."

It is an class="hi2">aan>lso very simple an class="hi2">aan>nd evident, therefore, to rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t WITHOUT SLEEP, you can class="hi2">aan>nnot han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> body. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot BE IN ONE an class="hi2">aan>nd be fully an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ke. You Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT be in the full an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of hean class="hi2">aan>ven, in which you an class="hi2">aan>re FULLY an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>KE, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time clan class="hi2">aan>im than class="hi2">aan>t "you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m body". Drean class="hi2">aan>m bodies ONLY seem to exist for those who an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>sleep an class="hi2">aan>nd drean class="hi2">aan>ming still. The body can class="hi2">aan>nnot enter hean class="hi2">aan>ven becan class="hi2">aan>use hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>king stan class="hi2">aan>te, not an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>ming stan class="hi2">aan>te, an class="hi2">aan>nd the body REQUIRES an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>mer.

This is an class="hi2">aan>lso why you Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT be "Christ in an class="hi2">aan> body", or "God in an class="hi2">aan> body". Or "an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ke in an class="hi2">aan> body". Or "in hean class="hi2">aan>ven in an class="hi2">aan> body." an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lso why Jesus wan class="hi2">aan>s NOT "christ in an class="hi2">aan> body."

"God can class="hi2">aan>nnot enter an class="hi2">aan> body, nor can class="hi2">aan>n you join him there.""Love wan class="hi2">aan>s never in the world of drean class="hi2">aan>ms."

To suggest this is possible, is to suggest than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n be in the full an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of the Christ WHO IS IN HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN, in the Wan class="hi2">Aan>KING an class="hi2">Aan>ND NOT DREan class="hi2">Aan>MING stan class="hi2">aan>te, while simultan class="hi2">aan>neously BEING an class="hi2">Aan>SLEEP an class="hi2">Aan>ND DREan class="hi2">Aan>MING an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>lizing an class="hi2">aan> body. It is simply impossible. If/when Jesus shows up an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> body now, to Ean class="hi2">aan>rth people, it is an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>nifestan class="hi2">aan>tion of the Holy Spirit. an class="hi2">Aan> temporan class="hi2">aan>ry iman class="hi2">aan>ge within drean class="hi2">aan>ming, used to symbolize something than class="hi2">aan>t is BEYOND the drean class="hi2">aan>m. Becan class="hi2">aan>use Jesus is perman class="hi2">aan>nently in hean class="hi2">aan>ven.

"Christ han class="hi2">aan>s never slept."

"Jesus is the man class="hi2">aan>nifestan class="hi2">aan>tion of the Holy Spirit"

"I an class="hi2">aan>m the man class="hi2">aan>nifestan class="hi2">aan>tion of the Holy Spirit, an class="hi2">aan>nd when you see me, it will be becan class="hi2">aan>use you han class="hi2">aan>ve invited Him."

Either you an class="hi2">aan>re squan class="hi2">aan>rely in hean class="hi2">aan>ven 100% in totan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of God an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Or, you an class="hi2">aan>re in some wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">Aan>SLEEP, han class="hi2">aan>ving perception, drean class="hi2">aan>ming of an class="hi2">aan> world an class="hi2">aan>nd inventing fan class="hi2">aan>ke bodies. The only specian class="hi2">aan>l exception to this is the Holy Spirit who span class="hi2">aan>ns the wan class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan>nd drean class="hi2">aan>ming stan class="hi2">aan>tes an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> bridge, temporan class="hi2">aan>rily, to offer you an class="hi2">aan> SYMBOL of hean class="hi2">aan>ven within the drean class="hi2">aan>ming stan class="hi2">aan>te - the rean class="hi2">aan>l world, to prepan class="hi2">aan>re you for an class="hi2">aan> full an class="hi2">aan>nd gentle an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening.

The body is an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan> fiction, an class="hi2">aan>n iman class="hi2">aan>gined fan class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>sy, an class="hi2">aan>n iman class="hi2">aan>ge, an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ke symbol, not an class="hi2">aan>n end in itself, an class="hi2">aan> representan class="hi2">aan>tive, an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>van class="hi2">aan>tan class="hi2">aan>r, an class="hi2">aan> depiction of something it can class="hi2">aan>n never truly picture.

"It is an class="hi2">aan> picture of an class="hi2">aan> body still, for whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>nnot be seen nor pictured."

It is not possible for your body, or an class="hi2">aan>nyone's body, to FULLY REPRESENT whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>s spirit. You an class="hi2">aan>re INVISIBLE to this rean class="hi2">aan>lm. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot be seen by the body's eyes. The body Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT SEE REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY or spirit.

"The body is not the mean class="hi2">aan>ns by which the rean class="hi2">aan>l world can class="hi2">aan>n be seen."So for exan class="hi2">aan>mple if Jesus were to show up here, his body would NOT BE HIM, becan class="hi2">aan>use he is not body identified. His spirit would NOT be seen. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the body would be nothing but an class="hi2">aan> SYMBOL, van class="hi2">aan>guely an class="hi2">aan>pproximan class="hi2">aan>ting an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nce than class="hi2">aan>t you might find an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ling or rean class="hi2">aan>ssuring, for some purpose. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the body than class="hi2">aan>t shows up is NOT HIM. It is merely an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>nifestan class="hi2">aan>tion of the Holy Spirit. Even if it looks just an class="hi2">aan>s 3D an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>s other bodies. Becan class="hi2">aan>use Christ can class="hi2">aan>nnot "be an class="hi2">aan> body" an class="hi2">aan>ny more than class="hi2">aan>n God can class="hi2">aan>n.

"Jesus wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>n who remembered his soul." "But I wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>n who remembered the Soul an class="hi2">aan>nd its knowledge. "

You will not ever see GOD directly in an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m. He is not an class="hi2">aan> body. He does not han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> body. He can class="hi2">aan>nnot be IN an class="hi2">aan> body. He is not in your body or in an class="hi2">aan>nyone's body. Even the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t "God is in everything I see becan class="hi2">aan>use God is in my mind" is an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> of seeing the REan class="hi2">Aan>L world BEYOND bodies, in which there an class="hi2">Aan>RE NO BODIES. God in his unlimited infinite nan class="hi2">aan>ture will not EVER be reducible to an class="hi2">aan> finite form or shan class="hi2">aan>pe or an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nce. Even "visions" of God an class="hi2">aan>re perceptuan class="hi2">aan>l illusions.

"PROPERLY spean class="hi2">aan>king, an class="hi2">aan> "vision of God" is an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> revelan class="hi2">aan>tion. The fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t perception is involved an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll removes the experience from the rean class="hi2">aan>lm of knowledge."

So you see, if you follow whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>CIM san class="hi2">aan>ys, it is very clean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd consistent. Bodies an class="hi2">aan>re drean class="hi2">aan>ms which only exist inside of drean class="hi2">aan>ms for those who drean class="hi2">aan>m of them during sleep. an class="hi2">Aan>nd while you can class="hi2">aan>n become more an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of the drean class="hi2">aan>ming stan class="hi2">aan>te, this too is only prepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion for true an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening FROM the drean class="hi2">aan>m stan class="hi2">aan>te. an class="hi2">Aan>nd to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken FROM the drean class="hi2">aan>m stan class="hi2">aan>te you Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan> body, or be in one, or han class="hi2">aan>ve one. It can class="hi2">aan>nnot go with you to hean class="hi2">aan>ven. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s soon an class="hi2">aan>s you stop drean class="hi2">aan>ming the DREan class="hi2">Aan>M BODY man class="hi2">aan>de of DREan class="hi2">Aan>M STUFF han class="hi2">aan>s to disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r entirely.

"The body is an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m. Like other drean class="hi2">aan>ms, it sometimes seems to picture han class="hi2">aan>ppiness, but can class="hi2">aan>n quite suddenly revert to fean class="hi2">aan>r, where every drean class="hi2">aan>m is born. For only love crean class="hi2">aan>tes in truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd truth can class="hi2">aan>n never fean class="hi2">aan>r. Man class="hi2">aan>de to be fean class="hi2">aan>rful, must the body serve the purpose given it. But we can class="hi2">aan>n chan class="hi2">aan>nge the purpose which the body will obey by chan class="hi2">aan>nging whan class="hi2">aan>t we think than class="hi2">aan>t it is for.

The body is the mean class="hi2">aan>ns by which God's Son returns to san class="hi2">aan>nity. Though it wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de to fence him into hell without escan class="hi2">aan>pe, yet han class="hi2">aan>s the goan class="hi2">aan>l of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven been exchan class="hi2">aan>nged for the pursuit of hell. The Son of God extends his han class="hi2">aan>nd to rean class="hi2">aan>ch his brother, an class="hi2">aan>nd to help him wan class="hi2">aan>lk an class="hi2">aan>long the roan class="hi2">aan>d with him. Now is the body holy. Now it serves to hean class="hi2">aan>l the mind than class="hi2">aan>t it wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de to kill."

"an class="hi2">Aan>nd now God's knowledge, chan class="hi2">aan>ngeless, certan class="hi2">aan>in, pure an class="hi2">aan>nd wholly understan class="hi2">aan>ndan class="hi2">aan>ble, enters its kingdom. Gone is perception, fan class="hi2">aan>lse an class="hi2">aan>nd true an class="hi2">aan>like.

If you an class="hi2">aan>re confused an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth is, you perceive the truth an class="hi2">aan>s something fan class="hi2">aan>lse or evil. You even will feel threan class="hi2">aan>tened by it. Then you will seem to defend yourself an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so you will erect defenses to push the truth an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y. The trouble is, truth life an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>lth. So when you push it an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y, even on grounds than class="hi2">aan>t you think it is not truth, you an class="hi2">aan>re pushing life an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>lth an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this results in sickness. Even if you believe you han class="hi2">aan>ve pushed sickness an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y.

"Sickness is an class="hi2">aan> (mistan class="hi2">aan>ken) defense an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the truth."

The person then ends up sick, using sickness an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> defense, to try to protect themselves, to san class="hi2">aan>ve their life, from the truth. But the truth is life, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t they're rean class="hi2">aan>lly doing is trying to san class="hi2">aan>ve themselves from life. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is why they've induced illness by mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, thinking than class="hi2">aan>t they're inducing life. They've mistan class="hi2">aan>ken life for dean class="hi2">aan>th, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve chosen dean class="hi2">aan>th by mistan class="hi2">aan>ke.

"Sickness is but an class="hi2">aan> little dean class="hi2">aan>th."

an class="hi2">Aan>ll this mean class="hi2">aan>ns is than class="hi2">aan>t sickness is an class="hi2">aan> MISTan class="hi2">Aan>KE. It's whan class="hi2">aan>t someone produces when they an class="hi2">aan>re MISTan class="hi2">Aan>KEN. They come to an class="hi2">aan> wrong conclusion, ban class="hi2">aan>sed on an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse belief or an class="hi2">aan> wrong perception, an class="hi2">aan>nd then seek to erect defenses than class="hi2">aan>t they don't even need, an class="hi2">aan>nd try to protect themselves from something benefician class="hi2">aan>l, believing than class="hi2">aan>t they'll be better off. There is no SIN involved here, it's just an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of being very mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. an class="hi2">Aan> choice man class="hi2">aan>de on an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse premise.

The form of sickness, even physican class="hi2">aan>l dean class="hi2">aan>th, becomes nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n the outcome of someone's mind than class="hi2">aan>t is confused. It's the result of an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tive person, an class="hi2">aan> person who is powerful an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>king choices, who han class="hi2">aan>ppens to just be man class="hi2">aan>king unwise choices, becan class="hi2">aan>use they don't rean class="hi2">aan>lize they an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. They an class="hi2">aan>re confused an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t is true, they an class="hi2">aan>re not entirely san class="hi2">aan>ne, an class="hi2">aan>nd so they THINK they're man class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan> totan class="hi2">aan>lly sound choice an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>cting on it, when in fan class="hi2">aan>ct they don't rean class="hi2">aan>lly recognize whan class="hi2">aan>t they're doing wrong.

So now you've got an class="hi2">aan> world filled with powerful crean class="hi2">aan>tive minds, who an class="hi2">aan>re constan class="hi2">aan>ntly choosing an class="hi2">aan>nd crean class="hi2">aan>ting, but who an class="hi2">aan>re confused. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so they keep crean class="hi2">aan>ting mistan class="hi2">aan>ken stuff, stuff which hurts them, stuff which produces suffering, stuff which man class="hi2">aan>kes their bodies sick, not becan class="hi2">aan>use they're inherently sinful or guilty or deserve it, but simply becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t things an class="hi2">aan>re. They don't recognize whan class="hi2">aan>t is rean class="hi2">aan>lly true, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve man class="hi2">aan>de fan class="hi2">aan>lse conclusions, an class="hi2">aan>nd now an class="hi2">aan>re choosing things which they think an class="hi2">aan>re one thing, but an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>nother.

To be sick therefore is nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke in the mind. It just mean class="hi2">aan>ns the mind isn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly recognizing whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth is, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s mistan class="hi2">aan>ken the truth for something fan class="hi2">aan>lse, an class="hi2">aan>nd mistan class="hi2">aan>ken something fan class="hi2">aan>lse for something true. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now they're convinced than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re in fan class="hi2">aan>ct pursuing the truth, an class="hi2">aan>ll the time, except their nan class="hi2">aan>vigan class="hi2">aan>tion system is off becan class="hi2">aan>use their truth-detector is fan class="hi2">aan>ulty. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so they hean class="hi2">aan>d towan class="hi2">aan>rds dean class="hi2">aan>th, thinking it is life. an class="hi2">Aan>nd hell is confused with hean class="hi2">aan>ven.

Everyone an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys protects whan class="hi2">aan>t they believe is true. Whan class="hi2">aan>t is true is your trean class="hi2">aan>sure. Whan class="hi2">aan>t is true defines your identity. It's close to your sense of self. Of life. Of whan class="hi2">aan>t you think is holy an class="hi2">aan>nd pure an class="hi2">aan>nd good an class="hi2">aan>nd worth han class="hi2">aan>ving. Truth is whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>ccept an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>llow an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>nt. But if your idean class="hi2">aan> of truth is fan class="hi2">aan>ulty, if you an class="hi2">aan>re confused an class="hi2">aan>nd mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, you will still han class="hi2">aan>ve this an class="hi2">aan>ttitude an class="hi2">aan>bout your truth, except it won't rean class="hi2">aan>lly BE the truth in the big picture. But you don't know than class="hi2">aan>t, becan class="hi2">aan>use you han class="hi2">aan>ve mistan class="hi2">aan>ken something fan class="hi2">aan>lse for something true.

The simple confusion of whan class="hi2">aan>t is true an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>lse is the entire ban class="hi2">aan>sis for people producing an class="hi2">Aan>LL of their own suffering. It's merely an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ken choice. It's powerful crean class="hi2">aan>tors mis-crean class="hi2">aan>ting by mistan class="hi2">aan>ke becan class="hi2">aan>use they han class="hi2">aan>ve not man class="hi2">aan>stered their own crean class="hi2">aan>tive power. an class="hi2">Aan>nd result is an class="hi2">aan> world if conflict an class="hi2">aan>nd suffering which the people an class="hi2">aan>re crean class="hi2">aan>ting by mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, being unman class="hi2">aan>sterful of their an class="hi2">aan>bilities.

It's chosen by mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, or in error. an class="hi2">Aan> wrong conclusion wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>rrived an class="hi2">aan>t. an class="hi2">Aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ulty response wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ctivan class="hi2">aan>ted. Someone thought than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> "man class="hi2">aan>gican class="hi2">aan>l solution" would work, when in fan class="hi2">aan>ct it produced the opposite effect. an class="hi2">Aan>nd everyone who han class="hi2">aan>s chosen sickness thinks than class="hi2">aan>t they han class="hi2">aan>ve chosen continuity an class="hi2">aan>nd life. Even those who han class="hi2">aan>ve chosen dean class="hi2">aan>th believe they han class="hi2">aan>ve chosen the preservan class="hi2">aan>tion of themselves.

an class="hi2">Aan>ll suffering is just an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. Mistan class="hi2">aan>kes can class="hi2">aan>ll for correction. They don't need judgement or condemnan class="hi2">aan>tion or punishment. No-one needs to be kept suffering. No-one deserves to linger in torment. Or to be destroyed or killed. Even the most heinously evil-seeming person is merely an class="hi2">aan> person who is very confused an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t is true an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>lse. They an class="hi2">aan>re just insan class="hi2">aan>ne, lost, an class="hi2">aan>lone, frightened, uncertan class="hi2">aan>in, out of touch with rean class="hi2">aan>lity, an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>king poor choices. They just don't know whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth is.

This is why an class="hi2">Aan>CIM is constan class="hi2">aan>ntly suggesting than class="hi2">aan>t we simply "choose once an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in". Than class="hi2">aan>t we han class="hi2">aan>ve man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan> wrong decision somewhere an class="hi2">aan>long the lines. an class="hi2">Aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ken choice. Which han class="hi2">aan>s produced unfortunan class="hi2">aan>te effects, symptoms, conditions. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now we an class="hi2">aan>re suffering becan class="hi2">aan>use we chose something on fan class="hi2">aan>ulty grounds, without proper justifican class="hi2">aan>tion. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now if we don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt to keep suffering, we need to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> little willingness to be open to being mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, to recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t our idean class="hi2">aan> of truth is fan class="hi2">aan>ulty. To recognize than class="hi2">aan>t we just man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>nd need correction.

Then we can class="hi2">aan>n be willing to not only open up to an class="hi2">aan> grean class="hi2">aan>ter truth, to an class="hi2">aan>ccept an class="hi2">aan>tonement, but an class="hi2">aan>lso to an class="hi2">aan>llow the Holy Spirit to undo the consequences than class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>me up with. The unfortunan class="hi2">aan>te "mis-crean class="hi2">aan>tions", the side-effects of unwise decisions, the suffering we induced for ourselves due to being an class="hi2">aan> confused crean class="hi2">aan>tor. an class="hi2">Aan>ll we need is to become un-mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. To recognize our mistan class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan>nd receive correction. So than class="hi2">aan>t instean class="hi2">aan>d of being mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, we an class="hi2">aan>re correct. an class="hi2">Aan>nd when you an class="hi2">aan>re correct, you can class="hi2">aan>n can class="hi2">aan>use nothing but immortan class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ppiness, ban class="hi2">aan>sed on truth.

"God's tean class="hi2">aan>chers choose to look on drean class="hi2">aan>ms an class="hi2">aan> while. It is an class="hi2">aan> conscious choice. For they han class="hi2">aan>ve lean class="hi2">aan>rned than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll choices an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>de consciously, with full an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of their consequences."

"San class="hi2">aan>y to yourselves the following, an class="hi2">aan>s sincerely an class="hi2">aan>s you can class="hi2">aan>n, remembering than class="hi2">aan>t the Holy Spirit will respond fully to your slightest invitan class="hi2">aan>tion:

I must han class="hi2">aan>ve decided wrongly becan class="hi2">aan>use I an class="hi2">aan>m NOT an class="hi2">aan>t pean class="hi2">aan>ce.

I man class="hi2">aan>de the decision myself, but I can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>lso decide otherwise.

I WILL to decide otherwise, becan class="hi2">aan>use I Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT to be an class="hi2">aan>t pean class="hi2">aan>ce.

I do NOT feel guilty, becan class="hi2">aan>use the Holy Spirit will undo an class="hi2">Aan>LL the consequences of my wrong decision IF I WILL LET HIM.

I WILL to let Him by an class="hi2">aan>llowing Him to decide for God for me."

How is death a choice?

You an class="hi2">aan>re not of this world. This world isn't the only world.

You an class="hi2">aan>re of an class="hi2">aan>nother world, the Kingdom of God, in which you han class="hi2">aan>ve immortan class="hi2">aan>lity - eternan class="hi2">aan>l life an class="hi2">aan>s given by God Himself.

This world is an class="hi2">aan>n illusory world. It's kind of like an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>yer on top of rean class="hi2">aan>lity. an class="hi2">Aan> pretend world, an class="hi2">aan> picture, of an class="hi2">aan> form an class="hi2">aan>nd nan class="hi2">aan>ture opposite to rean class="hi2">aan>lity.

The things in the illusory world can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r to chan class="hi2">aan>nge, shift, grow, die, etc. But it rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>s no effect an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll on the deeper underlying world of God. God's Kingdom is completely perman class="hi2">aan>nently unan class="hi2">aan>ssan class="hi2">aan>ilan class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>nd impenetran class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>nd perfect forever. It is "the living world of light."

"Let your Guide tean class="hi2">aan>ch you their unsubstan class="hi2">aan>ntian class="hi2">aan>l nan class="hi2">aan>ture an class="hi2">aan>s He lean class="hi2">aan>ds you pan class="hi2">aan>st them, for benean class="hi2">aan>th them is an class="hi2">aan> world of light whereon they can class="hi2">aan>st no shan class="hi2">aan>dows."

Whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n immortan class="hi2">aan>l spirit, is firmly an class="hi2">aan>nchored in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. Nothing can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck you or chan class="hi2">aan>nge you in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y.

"The Thought God holds of you is like an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>r, unchan class="hi2">aan>ngean class="hi2">aan>ble in an class="hi2">aan>n eternan class="hi2">aan>l sky. So high in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is it set than class="hi2">aan>t those outside of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven know not it is there."

For you an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n immortan class="hi2">aan>l being, dean class="hi2">aan>th is not possible. It's not an class="hi2">aan>n option. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot choose it to han class="hi2">aan>ppen to your spirit. Your spirit is invulneran class="hi2">aan>ble.

So whan class="hi2">aan>t is it than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n ever die, or seem to die? It can class="hi2">aan>n't be you. an class="hi2">Aan> body is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion, pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the illusory drean class="hi2">aan>m world of dean class="hi2">aan>th. Everything in the drean class="hi2">aan>m world is man class="hi2">aan>de of illusions an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll illusions an class="hi2">aan>re the idean class="hi2">aan> of the opposite of rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Since rean class="hi2">aan>lity is life, an class="hi2">aan>ll illusions an class="hi2">aan>re the idean class="hi2">aan> of dean class="hi2">aan>th.

"Without the idean class="hi2">aan> of dean class="hi2">aan>th there is no world."

"Dean class="hi2">aan>th is the centran class="hi2">aan>l drean class="hi2">aan>m from which an class="hi2">aan>ll illusions stem."

So we know than class="hi2">aan>t every illusion, whether it an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to show up an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>lthy body, or an class="hi2">aan> sick body, or an class="hi2">aan> dean class="hi2">aan>d body, or no body, or even just an class="hi2">aan>n environment, or an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>net, is still essentian class="hi2">aan>lly man class="hi2">aan>de of the idean class="hi2">aan> of dean class="hi2">aan>th. Even Ean class="hi2">aan>rth is the idean class="hi2">aan> of an class="hi2">aan>n opposite to God's Kingdom.

"Ean class="hi2">aan>rth, Hean class="hi2">aan>ven's opposite in every wan class="hi2">aan>y."

So from the outset, since whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>nnot die whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever, the things than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n seem to die can class="hi2">aan>nnot even be who or whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re. You an class="hi2">aan>re spirit, not an class="hi2">aan> body. You exist on an class="hi2">aan>n entire other level.

So rean class="hi2">aan>lly you do not need an class="hi2">aan> body, it an class="hi2">aan>dds nothing to you, it doesn't improve you, it doesn't an class="hi2">aan>llow you to do things than class="hi2">aan>t you couldn't do an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy, an class="hi2">aan>nd it only essentian class="hi2">aan>lly wan class="hi2">aan>s designed an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> limit. It can class="hi2">aan>n be used in different wan class="hi2">aan>ys, by an class="hi2">aan>n immortan class="hi2">aan>l spirit, but the body is not ever whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re.

an class="hi2">Aan>s spirit, an class="hi2">aan>nd being on an class="hi2">aan> higher level, you han class="hi2">aan>ve power over everything on the lower level of the illusory world. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of the world's lan class="hi2">aan>ws an class="hi2">aan>re secondan class="hi2">aan>ry an class="hi2">aan>nd once-removed. This world is not priman class="hi2">aan>ry rean class="hi2">aan>lity, or the stan class="hi2">aan>rting point of an class="hi2">aan>nything. It is not an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use but an class="hi2">aan>n effect of an class="hi2">aan> higher mind's drean class="hi2">aan>ming.

So this mean class="hi2">aan>ns, you on the level of Christ, han class="hi2">aan>ve power over, totan class="hi2">aan>l power over, everything in the world. Than class="hi2">aan>t includes the body, it includes an class="hi2">aan>ll stan class="hi2">aan>tes of sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th, it includes man class="hi2">aan>tter an class="hi2">aan>nd energy, it includes an class="hi2">aan>ll of the so-can class="hi2">aan>lled lan class="hi2">aan>ws of physics an class="hi2">aan>nd biology, an class="hi2">aan>nd in effect you han class="hi2">aan>ve power over everything in this universe.

"It is your thoughts an class="hi2">aan>lone than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>use you pan class="hi2">aan>in. Nothing externan class="hi2">aan>l to your mind can class="hi2">aan>n hurt or injure you in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y. There is no can class="hi2">aan>use beyond yourself than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n rean class="hi2">aan>ch down an class="hi2">aan>nd bring oppression. No-one but yourself an class="hi2">aan>ffects you. There is nothing in the world which han class="hi2">aan>s the power to man class="hi2">aan>ke you ill or san class="hi2">aan>d, or wean class="hi2">aan>k or fran class="hi2">aan>il. But it is you who han class="hi2">aan>ve the power to dominan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>ll things you see by merely recognizing whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re."

""My Self is ruler of the universe." ... It is impossible than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nything should come to me unbidden by myself. Even in this world, it is I who rule my destiny. Whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens is whan class="hi2">aan>t I desire. Whan class="hi2">aan>t does not occur is whan class="hi2">aan>t I do not wan class="hi2">aan>nt to han class="hi2">aan>ppen. This must I an class="hi2">aan>ccept. "

Since you han class="hi2">aan>ve power over everything in the universe, "there is nothing my holiness can class="hi2">aan>nnot do", "whan class="hi2">aan>t the Holy Spirit enan class="hi2">aan>bles you to do is clean class="hi2">aan>rly not of this world.", you get to dictan class="hi2">aan>te whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens to the body. You, from an class="hi2">aan> higher more vertican class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l level, get to choose how to USE an class="hi2">aan>ny an class="hi2">aan>spect of this secondan class="hi2">aan>ry world.

You can class="hi2">aan>n choose to use the body to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck through, which is an class="hi2">aan> toxic idean class="hi2">aan> which an class="hi2">aan>ffects the body an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cks it. This produces sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th of the body on this level. The body then conveys the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t being dean class="hi2">aan>d is the only truth.

You can class="hi2">aan>n choose to use the body to hean class="hi2">aan>l through, which is an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>ling idean class="hi2">aan> which an class="hi2">aan>ffects the body an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ls it. This produces an class="hi2">aan> picture of an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>led body, an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>lthy body, which then demonstran class="hi2">aan>tes the thought/belief than class="hi2">aan>t being an class="hi2">aan>live is the only truth.

So your mind gets to decide whether or not the body dies. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this depends entirely on whan class="hi2">aan>t you use the body FOR. If you use it for an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck it will be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked. If you use it to hean class="hi2">aan>l it becomes hean class="hi2">aan>led. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in its hean class="hi2">aan>led condition, sustan class="hi2">aan>ined by the mind, sickness dean class="hi2">aan>th can class="hi2">aan>nnot "han class="hi2">aan>ppen" to the body an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will an class="hi2">aan>nd your power.

"You can class="hi2">aan>nnot die unless you choose to do so."

"No one dies without their own consent"

"You can class="hi2">aan>nnot be hurt unless you hurt yourself."

"The mind being san class="hi2">aan>ne hean class="hi2">aan>ls the body."

"Now is the body hean class="hi2">aan>led by miran class="hi2">aan>cles."

So in effect, you could choose to use the body for hean class="hi2">aan>ling an class="hi2">aan>nd to symbolize eternan class="hi2">aan>l life, resulting in it being hean class="hi2">aan>led. By the power of your mind, the body is not an class="hi2">aan>llowed to be in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of sickness, yet an class="hi2">aan>lone physican class="hi2">aan>l dean class="hi2">aan>th.

The body can class="hi2">aan>n be sustan class="hi2">aan>ined indefinitely, an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st in time. It can class="hi2">aan>n't be eternan class="hi2">aan>l becan class="hi2">aan>use the mind han class="hi2">aan>s to constan class="hi2">aan>ntly man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>in it an class="hi2">aan>nd it is not nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l to constan class="hi2">aan>ntly project bodies.

But eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly once the purpose of hean class="hi2">aan>ling is fulfilled in the help of others, there is no longer an class="hi2">aan> need for an class="hi2">aan> body to use to rean class="hi2">aan>ch those who drean class="hi2">aan>m of dean class="hi2">aan>th. Its purpose of hean class="hi2">aan>ling is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the an class="hi2">aan>tonement plan class="hi2">aan>n.

"an class="hi2">Aan> forgiven world can class="hi2">aan>nnot lan class="hi2">aan>st."

"The body can class="hi2">aan>nnot reman class="hi2">aan>in without illusions."

When the entire idean class="hi2">aan> of dean class="hi2">aan>th, which the world an class="hi2">aan>nd body is founded on, is recognized, it must disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r.

This is its holiness; this is how it hean class="hi2">aan>ls. The world of bodies is the world of sin, for only if there were an class="hi2">aan> body is sin possible.

If you could keep in mind than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>nd "no-body" else is either, then you'd see than class="hi2">aan>t it's kind of funny how we an class="hi2">aan>ll keep going an class="hi2">aan>round an class="hi2">aan>cting an class="hi2">aan>s though whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>pplies to our body an class="hi2">aan>pplies to us.

Forgiveness is a service

Let's redefine forgiveness, to be less an class="hi2">aan>bout me fixing up whan class="hi2">aan>t I'm projecting or trying to fix my own suffering, an class="hi2">aan>nd more to do with whether I an class="hi2">aan>m GIVING love or not. Let's think of it not JUST an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> going-within, an class="hi2">aan> tan class="hi2">aan>king ban class="hi2">aan>ck of projections, an class="hi2">aan> tan class="hi2">aan>king of responsibility, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> clan class="hi2">aan>iming of an class="hi2">aan>tonement for ourselves, an class="hi2">aan>nd recognize it an class="hi2">Aan>LSO entan class="hi2">aan>ils an class="hi2">aan> GIVING outwan class="hi2">aan>rd, an class="hi2">aan>n expression of love, an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>ling force, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> resurrection of OTHERS.

Therefore it is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> "forgiveness process" to GIVE LIFE to others, to not only see them correctly, but to RESTORE them to wholeness by giving them love. By working an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle for them an class="hi2">aan>nd providing an class="hi2">aan> SERVICE. Than class="hi2">aan>t is forgiveness, not just sitting on an class="hi2">aan> fence pan class="hi2">aan>ssively looking an class="hi2">aan>t someone with an class="hi2">aan> smile, or trying to solely find pean class="hi2">aan>ce for yourself. Than class="hi2">aan>t is selfish.

an class="hi2">Aan>tonement is an class="hi2">aan>bout shan class="hi2">aan>ring, in which giving an class="hi2">aan>nd receiving an class="hi2">aan>re one, an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>n't han class="hi2">aan>ve one without the other. To receive but not give is not an class="hi2">aan>tonement. To bring dan class="hi2">aan>rkness to the light but not bring light to the dan class="hi2">aan>rkness is not an class="hi2">aan>tonement. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot exclusively receive an class="hi2">aan>tonement UNLESS you an class="hi2">aan>re willing to GIVE it. It Han class="hi2">Aan>S to be given otherwise you can class="hi2">aan>nnot receive it.

"The an class="hi2">Aan>tonement is an class="hi2">aan> lesson in shan class="hi2">aan>ring, which is given you becan class="hi2">aan>use YOU Han class="hi2">Aan>VE FORGOTTEN HOW TO DO IT."

To forgive is to HEan class="hi2">Aan>L, both yourself an class="hi2">Aan>ND the other. Both the giver an class="hi2">Aan>ND the receiver benefit. It is not an class="hi2">aan>bout you exclusively doing this for yourself, it is much more to do with SHan class="hi2">Aan>RING an class="hi2">aan>nd including. Restoring your brother to hean class="hi2">aan>lth SO THan class="hi2">Aan>T you can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>lso be restored to hean class="hi2">aan>lth.

You can class="hi2">aan>nnot han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>nything unless you give it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the resurrection of your brother is YOUR san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion.

Forgiveness is not an class="hi2">aan>bout being selfish, or trying only to resolve your own issues, or an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to find pean class="hi2">aan>ce just for yourself. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot han class="hi2">aan>ve pean class="hi2">aan>ce in isolan class="hi2">aan>tion. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot be han class="hi2">aan>ppy while you ee yourself an class="hi2">aan>s sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from others.

You can class="hi2">aan>nnot experience love if the love is not going OUT.

Forgiveness is not one-sided or exclusive or an class="hi2">aan>bout just you.

It's not an class="hi2">aan> question of "how do I forgive", it's an class="hi2">aan>bout "how do I forgive FOR US."

A world of differences

The ego's thought system resulted in this physican class="hi2">aan>l universe including the Ean class="hi2">aan>rth. It is an class="hi2">aan>ll ban class="hi2">aan>sed on sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd exclusion an class="hi2">aan>nd difference. The ego's wan class="hi2">aan>y of THINKING an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>soning logican class="hi2">aan>lly, is completely consistent, yet ban class="hi2">aan>sed on "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ting out" everything an class="hi2">aan>nd compan class="hi2">aan>ring the pan class="hi2">aan>rts to ean class="hi2">aan>ch other.

To man class="hi2">aan>ke forms of man class="hi2">aan>tter or objects, the ego han class="hi2">aan>s sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted things out, clan class="hi2">aan>imed than class="hi2">aan>t one thing is different to an class="hi2">aan>nother, han class="hi2">aan>s given certan class="hi2">aan>in illusory properties to one object which an class="hi2">aan>nother object does not shan class="hi2">aan>re, an class="hi2">aan>nd thus estan class="hi2">aan>blishes than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re not only "different" from ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, but than class="hi2">aan>t becan class="hi2">aan>use of these differences they must be SEPan class="hi2">Aan>Ran class="hi2">Aan>TE. Not just an class="hi2">aan> little sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te, but COMPLETELY sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te.

So for exan class="hi2">aan>mple becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>pple looks very different an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s different tan class="hi2">aan>ste an class="hi2">aan>nd structure an class="hi2">aan>nd color to an class="hi2">aan> ban class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>, the ego rean class="hi2">aan>sons than class="hi2">aan>t the an class="hi2">aan>pple is different to the ban class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>, not shan class="hi2">aan>ring the san class="hi2">aan>me quan class="hi2">aan>lities or chan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>cteristics, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore they can class="hi2">aan>nnot be ONE THING, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore must be TWO THINGS.

This is not merely an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y of thinking an class="hi2">Aan>BOUT the world we man class="hi2">aan>de. It an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly is the thinking BEHIND the world, the thought system which PRODUCED the world, an class="hi2">aan>nd every pan class="hi2">aan>rt of physican class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>tter in this universe proceeds an class="hi2">aan>ccording to these san class="hi2">aan>me rules.

Every an class="hi2">aan>tom is unlike the others, no two objects can class="hi2">aan>n shan class="hi2">aan>re the san class="hi2">aan>me locan class="hi2">aan>tion, everything is different an class="hi2">aan>nd chan class="hi2">aan>nges, no two things an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>llowed to be seen an class="hi2">aan>s exan class="hi2">aan>ctly identican class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>ll things an class="hi2">aan>re different to ean class="hi2">aan>ch other this gives them an class="hi2">aan> fran class="hi2">aan>gmented "identity". This is why regan class="hi2">aan>rding someone an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> human class="hi2">aan>n body "identifies" the person an class="hi2">Aan>S being than class="hi2">aan>t body, becan class="hi2">aan>use than class="hi2">aan>t body clean class="hi2">aan>rly does not overlan class="hi2">aan>p or shan class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>nyone else's body, an class="hi2">aan>nd looks different an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s different form, therefore is not the San class="hi2">Aan>ME, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore is SEPan class="hi2">Aan>Ran class="hi2">Aan>TE.

So sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion is BUILT IN to this entire universe's fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>l fan class="hi2">aan>bric. It's built into an class="hi2">aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>tter. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct, becan class="hi2">aan>use differences mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t something an class="hi2">aan>pplies to one thing an class="hi2">aan>nd not an class="hi2">aan>nother, an class="hi2">aan>nother word for than class="hi2">aan>t is MURDER. From it han class="hi2">aan>s come the ego's lan class="hi2">aan>ws of can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect which stan class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t one object can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ffect an class="hi2">aan>nother object WITHOUT receiving an class="hi2">aan>ny consequences, which is exan class="hi2">aan>ctly the san class="hi2">aan>me thing an class="hi2">aan>s "getting an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y with murder". This is becan class="hi2">aan>use the ego's thought system is murderous, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll forms of INEQUan class="hi2">Aan>LITY an class="hi2">aan>nd competition or "not being identican class="hi2">aan>l" an class="hi2">aan>re forms of murder.

San class="hi2">aan>crifice is an class="hi2">aan>lso completely built into this universe. Becan class="hi2">aan>use the ego han class="hi2">aan>s sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted everything out into discrete sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te pan class="hi2">aan>rts, which an class="hi2">aan>re ean class="hi2">aan>ch different, its rean class="hi2">aan>soning extends from this. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so it SEEMS logican class="hi2">aan>l to san class="hi2">aan>y, becan class="hi2">aan>use oran class="hi2">aan>nges an class="hi2">aan>re oran class="hi2">aan>nge an class="hi2">aan>nd this ban class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan> is yellow, it can class="hi2">aan>n't be an class="hi2">aan>n oran class="hi2">aan>nge.

Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t for exan class="hi2">aan>mple if I ean class="hi2">aan>t the ban class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>, there is only an class="hi2">aan>n oran class="hi2">aan>nge left. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns, the ban class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan> han class="hi2">aan>s now been san class="hi2">aan>crificed, becan class="hi2">aan>use there is now an class="hi2">aan> Lan class="hi2">Aan>CK of ban class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>. Lan class="hi2">aan>ck is fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>lly built into this universe. It's pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of this world, the ego's lan class="hi2">aan>ws of chan class="hi2">aan>os. In this world, to give "man class="hi2">aan>tter" to someone mean class="hi2">aan>ns to LOSE IT, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore to decrean class="hi2">aan>se whan class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve. It's not merely your thoughts an class="hi2">aan>bout the world than class="hi2">aan>t produce this kind of conclusion, it's literan class="hi2">aan>lly BUILT INTO the wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t this world's "rean class="hi2">aan>lity" is set up. Therefore this universe is fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>lly DRIVEN by scan class="hi2">aan>rcity an class="hi2">aan>nd Lan class="hi2">Aan>CK an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>TTan class="hi2">Aan>CK.

Then, whenever we think in terms of how we usuan class="hi2">aan>lly "rean class="hi2">aan>son out" something to do with this world, we an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ve Man class="hi2">Aan>PPED our logican class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>soning onto the wan class="hi2">aan>y this world functions (or is an class="hi2">aan>n extension of it). So now it SEEMS to man class="hi2">aan>ke sense to san class="hi2">aan>y, if Pan class="hi2">aan>ul's body is not the san class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>s Susan class="hi2">aan>n's body, then Pan class="hi2">aan>ul is not Susan class="hi2">aan>n. This man class="hi2">aan>kes SENSE, but it is INSan class="hi2">Aan>NE, becan class="hi2">aan>use Pan class="hi2">aan>ul an class="hi2">aan>nd Susan class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>re NOT SEPan class="hi2">Aan>Ran class="hi2">Aan>TED by their bodies an class="hi2">aan>nd the Holy Spirit recognizes than class="hi2">aan>t they SHan class="hi2">Aan>RE MINDS an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore they an class="hi2">aan>re IDENTICan class="hi2">Aan>L an class="hi2">aan>nd NOT DIFFERENT an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re NOT ENEMIES an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore there IS NO SEPan class="hi2">Aan>Ran class="hi2">Aan>TION between them an class="hi2">aan>s such.

So the Holy Spirit's thought system is TOTan class="hi2">Aan>LLY OPPOSITE to how the ego thinks, God's world is TOTan class="hi2">Aan>LLY OPPOSITE to how this universe functions an class="hi2">aan>nd is structured, God's MIND thinks totan class="hi2">aan>lly opposite to how this world thinks, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll of the logican class="hi2">aan>l conclusions than class="hi2">aan>t "man class="hi2">aan>ke sense" to the ego an class="hi2">aan>re UTTER NONSENSE in God's eyes.

Yet we use an class="hi2">aan>nd trust an class="hi2">aan>nd rely on the ego's wan class="hi2">aan>y of thinking to "lean class="hi2">aan>rn the course" an class="hi2">aan>nd to try to understan class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t Jesus mean class="hi2">aan>ns an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t the nan class="hi2">aan>ture of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan>nd whether or not God han class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>ted man class="hi2">aan>ny sons or minds, etc.... an class="hi2">aan>ll producing Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE conclusions than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>ke SENSE to the ego. an class="hi2">Aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use we TRUST than class="hi2">aan>t the ego's "sense" is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly san class="hi2">aan>nity, or an class="hi2">aan> san class="hi2">aan>ne conclusion, we an class="hi2">aan>re too quick to an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPT than class="hi2">aan>t these conclusions an class="hi2">aan>re the truth an class="hi2">aan>bout God's crean class="hi2">aan>tion, not rean class="hi2">aan>lizing than class="hi2">aan>t we're totan class="hi2">aan>lly overlooking an class="hi2">aan>nd distorting His nan class="hi2">aan>ture USING the ego an class="hi2">aan>s our guide to God.

In God's world, everything is essentian class="hi2">aan>lly IDENTICan class="hi2">Aan>L In its nan class="hi2">aan>ture, nothing is in competition, there an class="hi2">aan>ren't an class="hi2">aan>ny "differences", one thing is not "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted from" an class="hi2">aan>nother in the tran class="hi2">aan>ditionan class="hi2">aan>l ego sense of totan class="hi2">aan>l isolan class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd yet there an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>ny individuan class="hi2">aan>l beings which the EGO rean class="hi2">aan>sons can class="hi2">aan>nnot be possible. The ego sees sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tions where there an class="hi2">aan>re none, an class="hi2">aan>nd sees singulan class="hi2">aan>rity where there an class="hi2">aan>re distinctions. It can class="hi2">aan>nnot see how God could han class="hi2">aan>ve "pan class="hi2">aan>rts" or "crean class="hi2">aan>tions" or "sons" without Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSELY concluding than class="hi2">aan>t this indican class="hi2">aan>tes isolan class="hi2">aan>tion.

God an class="hi2">aan>nd the ego do NOT communican class="hi2">aan>te, so for the ego to think it can class="hi2">aan>n look an class="hi2">aan>t God "san class="hi2">aan>nely" an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ke correct evan class="hi2">aan>luan class="hi2">aan>tions, is an class="hi2">aan>lso insan class="hi2">aan>ne.

What is a brother?

an class="hi2">Aan> brother is an class="hi2">aan>n equan class="hi2">aan>l sibling, who shan class="hi2">aan>res the san class="hi2">aan>me pan class="hi2">aan>rent an class="hi2">aan>s you. Right? Yes.

So in order for there to be brothers, there han class="hi2">aan>s to be more than class="hi2">aan>n two children coming from the san class="hi2">aan>me pan class="hi2">aan>rent, right? Yes.

When the children exist an class="hi2">aan>s brothers, does the pan class="hi2">aan>rent become obliteran class="hi2">aan>ted? No, of course not.

Does the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re brothers, overthrow an class="hi2">aan>nd undermine an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck the pan class="hi2">aan>rent's existence? Not an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, especian class="hi2">aan>lly given the pan class="hi2">aan>rent crean class="hi2">aan>ted the brothers.

Who is the ultiman class="hi2">aan>te pan class="hi2">aan>rent? Is it not God? Right? God is the crean class="hi2">aan>tor pan class="hi2">aan>rent of an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t is.

If God is your pan class="hi2">aan>rent, an class="hi2">aan>nd you han class="hi2">aan>ve brothers, your brothers an class="hi2">aan>re God's EQUan class="hi2">Aan>L children, right? Yes of course. If there is more than class="hi2">aan>n one son, then God's children an class="hi2">aan>re brothers.

If the term "brother" is NOT tied to God, then who is the pan class="hi2">aan>rent of the brothers? Is it the ego? Is the ego your dan class="hi2">aan>ddy? Than class="hi2">aan>t would han class="hi2">aan>ve to be true, becan class="hi2">aan>use if God is not the pan class="hi2">aan>rent God's opposite must be. Which is ridiculous.

How an class="hi2">aan>bout God's supposed "one son". an class="hi2">Aan>re you an class="hi2">aan>re CHILD OF the one son? If you were, you an class="hi2">aan>nd your brother would indeed be brothers. The one son is rean class="hi2">aan>l, therefore so too an class="hi2">aan>re the brothers, becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l pan class="hi2">aan>rent can class="hi2">aan>n only crean class="hi2">aan>te rean class="hi2">aan>l children. Just an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n illusory pan class="hi2">aan>rent crean class="hi2">aan>tes illusory children.

How an class="hi2">aan>bout we san class="hi2">aan>y your pan class="hi2">aan>rent is the ego, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore you an class="hi2">aan>nd your brother must be egos. This man class="hi2">aan>kes "brother" into an class="hi2">aan> synonym for "the ego". an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns when the ego is gone, the brothers cean class="hi2">aan>se to exist an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. ie they an class="hi2">aan>re iman class="hi2">aan>ginan class="hi2">aan>ry brothers.

If than class="hi2">aan>t is true, then we MUST be clan class="hi2">aan>iming than class="hi2">aan>t, an class="hi2">aan>s ego brothers, who exist only due to "the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion", we han class="hi2">aan>ve the ego an class="hi2">aan>s our crean class="hi2">aan>tor.

Nowhere in an class="hi2">Aan>CIM does it EVER san class="hi2">aan>y, than class="hi2">aan>t brothers an class="hi2">aan>re the children of the ego. Never. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it would be ridiculous to do so.

It DOES San class="hi2">Aan>Y, man class="hi2">aan>ny times over, than class="hi2">aan>t brothers an class="hi2">aan>re children of GOD. an class="hi2">Aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s to mean class="hi2">aan>n is, than class="hi2">aan>t God MUST not only han class="hi2">aan>ve multiple children, but an class="hi2">aan>lso than class="hi2">aan>t brothers is an class="hi2">aan> term for REan class="hi2">Aan>L crean class="hi2">aan>ted beings who an class="hi2">aan>re perman class="hi2">aan>nent, not children of the ego, an class="hi2">aan>nd not children of the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion.

So in an class="hi2">Aan>CIM, every reference to "your brother", is tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout THE SOULS than class="hi2">aan>t God crean class="hi2">aan>ted, who an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>ny in number, necessan class="hi2">aan>rily more than class="hi2">aan>n ONE, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>T LEan class="hi2">Aan>ST TWO, so than class="hi2">aan>t they can class="hi2">aan>n BE brothers, an class="hi2">aan>nd shan class="hi2">aan>re the san class="hi2">aan>me pan class="hi2">aan>rent who is God.

You're not waking up a self - you're waking up TO a self

In truth, the self than class="hi2">aan>t is rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd the self than class="hi2">aan>t we rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re, is our soul, which is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the sonship in/an class="hi2">aan>s hean class="hi2">aan>ven. Than class="hi2">aan>t self is perfect an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy an class="hi2">aan>nd is incan class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of being imperfect. The soul needs no san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion or hean class="hi2">aan>ling or resurrection.

The thing is, the soul an class="hi2">aan>lso han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is in the mind than class="hi2">aan>t we han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> problem. We've used our minds an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst ourselves, an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the soul, to deny the soul. This mean class="hi2">aan>ns we've put our minds into an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te where we re denying han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> self.

This is an class="hi2">aan>lso reflected in the an class="hi2">aan>uthority problem which is an class="hi2">aan> rejection of being an class="hi2">aan>uthored by God, an class="hi2">aan>nd brings with it an class="hi2">aan> doubts an class="hi2">aan>s to whether we han class="hi2">aan>ve even rean class="hi2">aan>lly been crean class="hi2">aan>ted, or exist an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. Denying God an class="hi2">aan>s our fan class="hi2">aan>ther man class="hi2">aan>kes us wonder who we even an class="hi2">aan>re.

Similan class="hi2">aan>rly in denying rean class="hi2">aan>lity we han class="hi2">aan>ve put ourselves out of touch with rean class="hi2">aan>lity, which is an class="hi2">aan>n insan class="hi2">aan>ne stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind. This stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind is filled with ego, an class="hi2">aan>nd ego is literan class="hi2">aan>lly the denian class="hi2">aan>l of self/soul. Ego isn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> self, it's an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck of rean class="hi2">aan>l self. It's like an class="hi2">aan> sense of self than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rts missing an class="hi2">aan>nd is unstan class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>nd chan class="hi2">aan>ngean class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>cks rean class="hi2">aan>lity.

Ego is more like an class="hi2">aan> temporan class="hi2">aan>ry sense of "self-consciousness", in which you feel like the centre of the universe an class="hi2">aan>nd under an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck by everything. It's an class="hi2">aan> tight contran class="hi2">aan>ction of fean class="hi2">aan>r, holding on for dean class="hi2">aan>r life, sman class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>nd wean class="hi2">aan>k, sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted off an class="hi2">aan>nd exclusive, seeming to peer out upon an class="hi2">aan>n insurmountan class="hi2">aan>ble world which it sees an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> threan class="hi2">aan>t, divorced from itself an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lien to it. But this is an class="hi2">aan>ll due to an class="hi2">aan> kind of 'lan class="hi2">aan>ck of wholeness', ie an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck of soul.

When we're doing the course, an class="hi2">aan>pplying forgiveness, trying to wan class="hi2">aan>ke up, we might think than class="hi2">aan>t we - our self - is wan class="hi2">aan>king up. Than class="hi2">aan>t's becan class="hi2">aan>use we think than class="hi2">aan>t the wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re, in our ego, in an class="hi2">aan> body, not yet an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kened, is our "self". Than class="hi2">aan>t we're somehow han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> self right now. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t we're tan class="hi2">aan>king than class="hi2">aan>t self an class="hi2">aan>nd tran class="hi2">aan>nsforming it into an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kened stan class="hi2">aan>te.

But this isnt' rean class="hi2">aan>lly the can class="hi2">aan>se. We're not even rean class="hi2">aan>lly being ourselves right now. an class="hi2">Aan>nd we're not rean class="hi2">aan>lly tan class="hi2">aan>king ourselves into rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Our rean class="hi2">aan>l self/soul is an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy in rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd is an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy perfect, it can class="hi2">aan>n lean class="hi2">aan>rn nothing an class="hi2">aan>nd needs no correction, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot grow an class="hi2">aan>nd it can class="hi2">aan>nnot sleep.

So whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>re you - who an class="hi2">aan>re you - whan class="hi2">aan>t is this sense of "my self" than class="hi2">aan>t you're han class="hi2">aan>ving? Who or whan class="hi2">aan>t it is than class="hi2">aan>t thinks an class="hi2">aan>bout wan class="hi2">aan>king up?

Rean class="hi2">aan>lly we han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> problem in the mind, where the mind is confused an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s lost touch with rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd with the self/soul. This han class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de the mind selfish, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n wholly self. Selfishness man class="hi2">aan>kes everything revolve an class="hi2">aan>round being sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd isolan class="hi2">aan>ted, while the self-wholeness of the soul revolves an class="hi2">aan>round shan class="hi2">aan>ring everything with everyone.

Mind is than class="hi2">aan>t which is van class="hi2">aan>rying. Mind is than class="hi2">aan>t which is chan class="hi2">aan>nging its mind an class="hi2">aan>bout itself. Mind is than class="hi2">aan>t which is seeming to sleep, or seeming to wan class="hi2">aan>ke up. Mind is than class="hi2">aan>t which needs correction. Mind is whan class="hi2">aan>t is lean class="hi2">aan>rning an class="hi2">aan>nd unlean class="hi2">aan>rning. Mind is the rean class="hi2">aan>lm of nightman class="hi2">aan>res an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ppy drean class="hi2">aan>ms. It's an class="hi2">aan>ll something to do with the mind.

But mind is not the self. Mind is an class="hi2">aan> medium than class="hi2">aan>t the soul/self uses for crean class="hi2">aan>tive expression an class="hi2">aan>nd decision man class="hi2">aan>king. The will is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the mind, which the soul uses TO will things, but the mind isn't the self itself.

So who or whan class="hi2">aan>t is trying to wan class="hi2">aan>ke up? Mind is trying to wan class="hi2">aan>ke up, but mind is not an class="hi2">aan> self. Instean class="hi2">aan>d we need to shift an class="hi2">aan> bit in how we think of whan class="hi2">aan>t is han class="hi2">aan>ppening.

First we need to recognize self is rean class="hi2">aan>lly the soul/spirit/christ which is in God in/an class="hi2">aan>s hean class="hi2">aan>ven. It is an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy perfect an class="hi2">aan>nd whole an class="hi2">aan>nd immortan class="hi2">aan>l. It doesn't need an class="hi2">aan>ny lean class="hi2">aan>rning or fixing.

Then we need to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t mind is where something han class="hi2">aan>s gone wrong, an class="hi2">aan>nd it's mind than class="hi2">aan>t is confused. Soul han class="hi2">aan>s used mind an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst itself to deny self. So now mind is in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te where it is not serving the soul, it is not recognising than class="hi2">aan>t the soul IS the self, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is thinking than class="hi2">aan>t self is something else - such an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n ego or an class="hi2">aan> body or an class="hi2">aan> fluctuan class="hi2">aan>ting tran class="hi2">aan>nsitioning self, or an class="hi2">aan>n iman class="hi2">aan>ge of an class="hi2">aan> self.

Mind chan class="hi2">aan>nging is not an class="hi2">aan>bout 'you' becoming an class="hi2">aan>nd growing an class="hi2">aan>nd lean class="hi2">aan>rning an class="hi2">aan>nd tran class="hi2">aan>nsforming into an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kened being. It's more an class="hi2">aan>bout mind recognising the pre-existing presence of the soul/self an class="hi2">aan>nd identifying than class="hi2">aan>t it IS the self. Than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> soul, not an class="hi2">aan> body or an class="hi2">aan>n ego. This mind recognition though isn't an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of an class="hi2">aan> 'you' than class="hi2">aan>t shifts into being an class="hi2">aan> soul, it's more to do with an class="hi2">aan>ccepting an class="hi2">aan>nd recognising an class="hi2">aan>nd seeing the soul an class="hi2">aan>nd knowing it an class="hi2">aan>s self.

Than class="hi2">aan>t san class="hi2">aan>id, an class="hi2">aan>s the mind chan class="hi2">aan>nges an class="hi2">aan>nd opens up to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of the soul, its "sense of self" chan class="hi2">aan>nges, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t sense of han class="hi2">aan>ving or being an class="hi2">aan> self or whan class="hi2">aan>t the self is like seems to chan class="hi2">aan>nge, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes 'you' think than class="hi2">aan>t 'you' an class="hi2">aan>re chan class="hi2">aan>nging an class="hi2">aan>nd growing an class="hi2">aan>nd expan class="hi2">aan>nding your self. But rean class="hi2">aan>lly you an class="hi2">aan>re tan class="hi2">aan>pping onto more an class="hi2">aan>nd more of an class="hi2">aan> self than class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy fully formed in God, an class="hi2">aan>nd its your degree of an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of it than class="hi2">aan>t chan class="hi2">aan>nges.

Pan class="hi2">aan>rt of than class="hi2">aan>t entan class="hi2">aan>ils an class="hi2">aan>lso recognising than class="hi2">aan>t 'who or whan class="hi2">aan>t' you an class="hi2">aan>re seeming to be right now, your sense of self, is an class="hi2">aan> mixture of some sense of 'me' an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> whole bunch of things which an class="hi2">aan>re not the soul. Believing you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> body, or an class="hi2">aan>n ego, or an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>de-up sense of identity, or identifican class="hi2">aan>tion with emotions or relan class="hi2">aan>tionships or the world. Things which an class="hi2">aan>re not the spirit, which you han class="hi2">aan>ve mistan class="hi2">aan>ken for an class="hi2">aan> self.

So rean class="hi2">aan>lly it's not than class="hi2">aan>t 'you wan class="hi2">aan>ke up', it's more than class="hi2">aan>t the mind reconnects with an class="hi2">aan>nd receives input from the soul an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ligns with it an class="hi2">aan>nd comes to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t the soul is the self than class="hi2">aan>t you forgot you han class="hi2">aan>d. an class="hi2">Aan>nd to get there, other senses of self, an class="hi2">aan>nd other senses of it being 'your self' than class="hi2">aan>t is chan class="hi2">aan>nging, han class="hi2">aan>s to go out the window. Rean class="hi2">aan>lly your self doesn't chan class="hi2">aan>nge an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll - fan class="hi2">aan>lse senses of self shift an class="hi2">aan>nd chan class="hi2">aan>nge an class="hi2">aan>nd seem to grow an class="hi2">aan>nd tran class="hi2">aan>nsform but they an class="hi2">aan>re not rean class="hi2">aan>lly whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re.

You an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> soul, san class="hi2">aan>fe in God, drean class="hi2">aan>ming of exile with the mind an class="hi2">aan>nd within the mind, lost an class="hi2">aan>nd confused an class="hi2">aan>nd unsure of who or whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re, temporan class="hi2">aan>rily believing than class="hi2">aan>t the self is the ego or the body or other things you man class="hi2">aan>de up, but gran class="hi2">aan>duan class="hi2">aan>lly coming to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t the self is none of these things an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>s the perfect soul an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>long, merely hidden by blocks to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, an class="hi2">aan>nd finan class="hi2">aan>lly revean class="hi2">aan>led an class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ving been you an class="hi2">aan>ll-an class="hi2">aan>long.

What if its a dream?

Van class="hi2">aan>rious things seem to han class="hi2">aan>ppen in the world. Sometimes seemingly han class="hi2">aan>ppy things, sometimes tran class="hi2">aan>gic. Sometimes things seem to be going well, sometimes they fuck up. There an class="hi2">aan>re dran class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>s. There's emotion. People seem to be well, others seem to be dying. There is an class="hi2">aan> whole lot of "man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l" to rean class="hi2">aan>ct to, respond to, dean class="hi2">aan>l with, man class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>ge, etc.

It's an class="hi2">aan> fran class="hi2">aan>mework or an class="hi2">aan> ban class="hi2">aan>sis. an class="hi2">Aan> logican class="hi2">aan>l premise. It's an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>rting point on which to derive an class="hi2">aan>ll these conclusions, evan class="hi2">aan>luan class="hi2">aan>tions, judgements, stran class="hi2">aan>tegies etc. But whan class="hi2">aan>t if the world isn't rean class="hi2">aan>l?

Whan class="hi2">aan>t if the the world is in fan class="hi2">aan>ct just an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m? You see, if the world is an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, this chan class="hi2">aan>nges the ENTIRE context of everything than class="hi2">aan>t seems to be han class="hi2">aan>ppening. If it's an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, nothing is rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening here. If it's an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, even if it seems like some person just died, they didn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly die. If it's an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, sickness is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>n illusion an class="hi2">aan>nd is completely fan class="hi2">aan>ke. If it's an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, everything than class="hi2">aan>t occurs is just some man class="hi2">aan>de up fan class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>sy.

"Whan class="hi2">aan>t seems to be the opposite of life is merely sleeping. When the mind elects to be whan class="hi2">aan>t it is not, an class="hi2">aan>nd to an class="hi2">aan>ssume an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>lien power which it does not han class="hi2">aan>ve, an class="hi2">aan> foreign stan class="hi2">aan>te it can class="hi2">aan>nnot enter, or an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse condition not within its Source, it merely seems to go to sleep an class="hi2">aan> while. It drean class="hi2">aan>ms of time; an class="hi2">aan>n intervan class="hi2">aan>l in which whan class="hi2">aan>t seems to han class="hi2">aan>ppen never han class="hi2">aan>s occurred, the chan class="hi2">aan>nges wrought an class="hi2">aan>re substan class="hi2">aan>nce-less, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll events an class="hi2">aan>re nowhere. When the mind an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kes, it but continues an class="hi2">aan>s it an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys wan class="hi2">aan>s."

In an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m world, it's an class="hi2">aan>s though there an class="hi2">aan>re just scenan class="hi2">aan>rios, situan class="hi2">aan>tions, scenes, fictions an class="hi2">aan>nd stories, which come an class="hi2">aan>nd go fan class="hi2">aan>irly ran class="hi2">aan>ndomly. They don't an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ny pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>r rhyme or rean class="hi2">aan>son or mean class="hi2">aan>ning. Over here is the scene of an class="hi2">aan> person an class="hi2">aan>t work. Over there is the scene of an class="hi2">aan> person ban class="hi2">aan>ttling with disean class="hi2">aan>se. Over here is an class="hi2">aan>nother person wan class="hi2">aan>king up in the morning. Over there is an class="hi2">aan>nother person tying their shoes on an class="hi2">aan> subwan class="hi2">aan>y tran class="hi2">aan>in. Just stran class="hi2">aan>nge little vignettes of an class="hi2">aan>ctivity, dran class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd story.

If it's an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, none of these things an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening. The drean class="hi2">aan>m refran class="hi2">aan>mes the entire an class="hi2">aan>nd every episode an class="hi2">aan>s not being whan class="hi2">aan>t it seems to be. an class="hi2">Aan>re we to keep tan class="hi2">aan>king it seriously when something shows up than class="hi2">aan>t seems serious? Or should we lan class="hi2">aan>ugh an class="hi2">aan>t yet an class="hi2">aan>nother stran class="hi2">aan>nge episode of drean class="hi2">aan>ming in which we seem to be experiencing stran class="hi2">aan>nge events an class="hi2">aan>nd people?

Yes, if its rean class="hi2">aan>l, then we proban class="hi2">aan>bly should rean class="hi2">aan>ct to it. But if it is ONLY an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, this lifts an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">Aan>LL of the rean class="hi2">aan>sons an class="hi2">aan>nd ran class="hi2">aan>tionan class="hi2">aan>le for tan class="hi2">aan>king it seriously, believing it mean class="hi2">aan>ns an class="hi2">aan>nything, rean class="hi2">aan>cting to it an class="hi2">aan>s if it's posing rean class="hi2">aan>l threan class="hi2">aan>ts, buying into its illusions. an class="hi2">Aan>nd don't think the illusions an class="hi2">aan>ren't extran class="hi2">aan>ordinan class="hi2">aan>rily crean class="hi2">aan>tive an class="hi2">aan>nd well man class="hi2">aan>de. They an class="hi2">aan>re designed to deceive an class="hi2">aan>nd tempt you an class="hi2">aan>nd distran class="hi2">aan>ct you an class="hi2">aan>nd disan class="hi2">aan>rm you. But even an class="hi2">aan> scenan class="hi2">aan>rio of an class="hi2">aan> person stan class="hi2">aan>nding there trying to destroy you, it lan class="hi2">aan>ughan class="hi2">aan>ble in the context than class="hi2">aan>t it's ONLY an class="hi2">aan> scene within an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re not the body nor can class="hi2">aan>n you be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked.

If you could observe the world, from outside of it, from outside the drean class="hi2">aan>m, it would be an class="hi2">aan> ran class="hi2">aan>dican class="hi2">aan>l chan class="hi2">aan>nge in perspective. Whan class="hi2">aan>t you once thought wan class="hi2">aan>s being rean class="hi2">aan>lly threan class="hi2">aan>tened is now recognized an class="hi2">aan>s nothing but some illusion pretending to threan class="hi2">aan>ten an class="hi2">aan>n illusion. Nothing REan class="hi2">Aan>L can class="hi2">aan>n be threan class="hi2">aan>tened. You'd know than class="hi2">aan>t the whole world is one big fan class="hi2">aan>ke fan class="hi2">aan>irytan class="hi2">aan>le. There an class="hi2">aan>ren't rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>ny bodies, there's no rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness, no rean class="hi2">aan>l dean class="hi2">aan>th, on rean class="hi2">aan>l wan class="hi2">aan>r, no tean class="hi2">aan>rs or upsets or problems. It's an class="hi2">aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>de up.

an class="hi2">Aan>nd chan class="hi2">aan>nging your fran class="hi2">aan>me of reference, your point of perspective on this world, is how you forgive an class="hi2">aan>nd develop true perception. Lean class="hi2">aan>rning to see from an class="hi2">aan> van class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>ge point of the truth an class="hi2">aan>bout the world, than class="hi2">aan>t it IS an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n the perspective than class="hi2">aan>t it's rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening an class="hi2">aan>nd worth being an class="hi2">aan>lan class="hi2">aan>rmed an class="hi2">aan>bout. Fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception shows you the world an class="hi2">aan>s if it's NOT an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, but an class="hi2">aan> terribly rean class="hi2">aan>l-seeming nightman class="hi2">aan>re with tran class="hi2">aan>gic events an class="hi2">aan>nd threan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nd dan class="hi2">aan>nger. In such an class="hi2">aan> world there is no san class="hi2">aan>fety, if you han class="hi2">aan>ve identified with the drean class="hi2">aan>m figure.

This is why it's very vitan class="hi2">aan>l to dis-identify from the body. Not just becan class="hi2">aan>use bodies an class="hi2">aan>re distran class="hi2">aan>cting an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>nchors to bring down the Son of God, but becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re INSIDE the drean class="hi2">aan>m. They an class="hi2">aan>re pan class="hi2">aan>rt of it. They an class="hi2">aan>re just chan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>cters an class="hi2">aan>nd costumes. So you, who an class="hi2">aan>re drean class="hi2">aan>ming the world from OUTSIDE of the world, if you stan class="hi2">aan>rt to believe you an class="hi2">aan>re one of the chan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>cters in the drean class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan> body, you're going to lose sight of yourself, lose tran class="hi2">aan>ck of the truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd believe than class="hi2">aan>t the world is han class="hi2">aan>ppening to YOU becan class="hi2">aan>use YOU an class="hi2">aan>re now believing you're an class="hi2">aan> body. "Whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>nnot be seen nor pictured".

Becoming spirit identified merely mean class="hi2">aan>ns the san class="hi2">aan>me thing an class="hi2">aan>s recognizing this is just an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns remembering who an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re, which is, than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re the drean class="hi2">aan>mer of the drean class="hi2">aan>m, NOT the contents of the drean class="hi2">aan>m. You an class="hi2">aan>re not the body or the house or the fan class="hi2">aan>mily or the children or the job or the role-plan class="hi2">aan>y. You an class="hi2">aan>re outside the drean class="hi2">aan>m bubble. Outside of span class="hi2">aan>cetime, in hean class="hi2">aan>ven. In the an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ke world, the rean class="hi2">aan>lity of the Kingdom. an class="hi2">Aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ching your "self" to "world stuff" just man class="hi2">aan>kes you believe you're under an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck from an class="hi2">aan> dan class="hi2">aan>ngerous world where everything is chan class="hi2">aan>otic an class="hi2">aan>nd destructive.

Jesus's an class="hi2">aan>pproan class="hi2">aan>ch to the world is to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t it IS only an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m. an class="hi2">Aan>nd being an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, it should not be tan class="hi2">aan>ken seriously. It should not be an class="hi2">aan>fforded an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of rean class="hi2">aan>lity or truth. an class="hi2">Aan>ny kind of "it's rean class="hi2">aan>lly occurring". an class="hi2">Aan>ny kind of an class="hi2">aan>rtifician class="hi2">aan>l mean class="hi2">aan>ning or implican class="hi2">aan>tion. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct, he tells us than class="hi2">aan>t this is the secret of san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion. If we would recognize it's JUST an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, we should be lan class="hi2">aan>ughing an class="hi2">aan>t every pan class="hi2">aan>rt of it, rean class="hi2">aan>lizing than class="hi2">aan>t it's complete fiction. Like some movie on an class="hi2">aan> screen.

"The secret of san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion is but this: Than class="hi2">aan>t YOU an class="hi2">aan>re doing this UNTO YOURSELF. No man class="hi2">aan>tter whan class="hi2">aan>t the form of the an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, this STILL is true.

A world of self destruction

We man class="hi2">aan>y not think than class="hi2">aan>t people an class="hi2">aan>re trying to destroy themselves. People can class="hi2">aan>n seem relan class="hi2">aan>tively han class="hi2">aan>ppy, fan class="hi2">aan>irly san class="hi2">aan>ne, living an class="hi2">aan> seemingly an class="hi2">aan>ctive life, enjoying success in their can class="hi2">aan>reer, ran class="hi2">aan>ising fan class="hi2">aan>milies an class="hi2">aan>nd so on. But the fan class="hi2">aan>ct of whan class="hi2">aan>t is han class="hi2">aan>ppening in the big picture is still there.

God's Kingdom is the rean class="hi2">aan>lm of crean class="hi2">aan>tion, of the constructive use of the power of the mind. It is there than class="hi2">aan>t life is wholehean class="hi2">aan>rtedly supported an class="hi2">aan>nd sustan class="hi2">aan>ined eternan class="hi2">aan>lly. an class="hi2">Aan>ny degree of suffering or sickness is completely impossible. Everyone enjoys perfection an class="hi2">aan>nd eternan class="hi2">aan>l life an class="hi2">aan>nd immortan class="hi2">aan>lity.

But in the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>ll who pan class="hi2">aan>rticipan class="hi2">aan>ted in it did reject the Kingdom, an class="hi2">aan>nd thus rejected immortan class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd perfection. This rejection of God wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> rejection of life, an class="hi2">aan> rejection of innocence, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> rejection of existence. It thus led to an class="hi2">aan> dean class="hi2">aan>th wish, or an class="hi2">aan> desire to not crean class="hi2">aan>te. The opposite of crean class="hi2">aan>tion is destruction, an class="hi2">aan>nd it wan class="hi2">aan>s the destruction of God an class="hi2">aan>nd Self than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s the an class="hi2">aan>im.

"The world wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck on God."

"The world is an class="hi2">aan> picture of the crucifixion of God's Son."

"This is an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m of dean class="hi2">aan>th."

an class="hi2">Aan>nd so we entered into drean class="hi2">aan>ming, in which an class="hi2">aan>ll drean class="hi2">aan>ms an class="hi2">aan>re ban class="hi2">aan>sed in the rejection of crean class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd life. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so an class="hi2">aan>ll drean class="hi2">aan>ms an class="hi2">aan>re drean class="hi2">aan>ms of dean class="hi2">aan>th. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the physican class="hi2">aan>l universe is an class="hi2">aan> system of dean class="hi2">aan>th. an class="hi2">Aan>ll its lan class="hi2">aan>ws an class="hi2">aan>re ban class="hi2">aan>sed on dean class="hi2">aan>th, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll its roan class="hi2">aan>ds lean class="hi2">aan>d to dean class="hi2">aan>th.

We seem to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> seeming escan class="hi2">aan>pe for an class="hi2">aan> while, an class="hi2">aan> kind of in-between stan class="hi2">aan>te where we han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> "life", before we die. But this is still essentian class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> period of dying. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it still lean class="hi2">aan>ds to the gran class="hi2">aan>ve, which is something we can class="hi2">aan>n deny an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>void but this denian class="hi2">aan>l doesn't stop it han class="hi2">aan>ppening.

Nevertheless, this an class="hi2">aan>ll only han class="hi2">aan>ppens an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result of choosing dean class="hi2">aan>th, ie choosing the opposite of crean class="hi2">aan>tion. Choosing to not be with God. Which mean class="hi2">aan>ns choosing self destruction.

So if you an class="hi2">aan>re willing to look, you'll notice than class="hi2">aan>t everyone who is here is in van class="hi2">aan>rious degrees or stan class="hi2">aan>ges of self an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd punishment. This is not something pretty to look an class="hi2">aan>t. Man class="hi2">aan>ny people an class="hi2">aan>re so riddled with guilt they can class="hi2">aan>n't even look you in the eye.

"The world you see is the delusionan class="hi2">aan>l system of those man class="hi2">aan>de man class="hi2">aan>d by guilt. Look can class="hi2">aan>refully an class="hi2">aan>t this world, an class="hi2">aan>nd you will rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t this is so. For this world is the symbol of punishment, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll the lan class="hi2">aan>ws which seem to govern it an class="hi2">aan>re the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of dean class="hi2">aan>th. Children an class="hi2">aan>re born into it through pan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd in pan class="hi2">aan>in. Their growth is an class="hi2">aan>ttended by suffering, an class="hi2">aan>nd they lean class="hi2">aan>rn of sorrow an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th. Their minds an class="hi2">aan>re tran class="hi2">aan>pped in their bran class="hi2">aan>in, an class="hi2">aan>nd its power declines if their bodies an class="hi2">aan>re hurt. They seem to love, yet they desert, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re deserted. They an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r to lose whan class="hi2">aan>t they love, perhan class="hi2">aan>ps the most insan class="hi2">aan>ne belief of an class="hi2">aan>ll. an class="hi2">Aan>nd their bodies wither an class="hi2">aan>nd gan class="hi2">aan>sp an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re lan class="hi2">aan>id in the ground, an class="hi2">aan>nd seem to be no more. Not one of them but han class="hi2">aan>s thought than class="hi2">aan>t God is cruel."

"Dean class="hi2">aan>th is the centran class="hi2">aan>l drean class="hi2">aan>m from which an class="hi2">aan>ll illusions stem. Is it not man class="hi2">aan>dness to think of life an class="hi2">aan>s being born, an class="hi2">aan>ging, losing vitan class="hi2">aan>lity, an class="hi2">aan>nd dying in the end?"

Why does this han class="hi2">aan>ppen? It han class="hi2">aan>ppens becan class="hi2">aan>use ean class="hi2">aan>ch individuan class="hi2">aan>l person believes they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> sinner. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in whan class="hi2">aan>tever wan class="hi2">aan>y, somewhere in the mind there is an class="hi2">aan> belief than class="hi2">aan>t sin is rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd true, han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppened, han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>d rean class="hi2">aan>l irreversible consequences, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t they can class="hi2">aan>n never return to God.

But even moreso, we believe we an class="hi2">aan>ctively deserve to be punished for it. Than class="hi2">aan>t we wan class="hi2">aan>nt the punishment an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>nt to suffer, becan class="hi2">aan>use it is expected of us an class="hi2">aan>nd we an class="hi2">aan>gree with it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so the people inflict self an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck upon themselves in an class="hi2">aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>nner of wan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>nd this eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly lean class="hi2">aan>ds to the dean class="hi2">aan>th of the body. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll of this is chosen an class="hi2">aan>nd self inflicted. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if it were not for this, there would be no suffering or sickness or dean class="hi2">aan>th.

The simple thing to rean class="hi2">aan>lize then is than class="hi2">aan>t this whole world is filled with people who an class="hi2">aan>re trying to die. "an class="hi2">aan> dry an class="hi2">aan>nd dusty world, where stan class="hi2">aan>rved an class="hi2">aan>nd thirsty crean class="hi2">aan>tures come to die." Where we come to han class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan> while, wither an class="hi2">aan>nd die. Jesus doesn't pull an class="hi2">aan>ny punches on this stuff, he's very blunt an class="hi2">aan>bout it.

So you've got an class="hi2">aan> world full of san class="hi2">aan>crifician class="hi2">aan>l lan class="hi2">aan>mbs, people destroying themselves in van class="hi2">aan>rious wan class="hi2">aan>ys, an class="hi2">aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>nner of self an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll of it is essentian class="hi2">aan>lly suicide. "You can class="hi2">aan>nnot die unless you choose to do so." "No one dies without their own consent." Which mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll of the sickness, an class="hi2">aan>ll suffering, an class="hi2">aan>ll forms of unhan class="hi2">aan>ppiness, an class="hi2">aan>ll dean class="hi2">aan>th, is an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan> choice man class="hi2">aan>de by people who believe they deserve it.

Except than class="hi2">aan>t, they don't deserve it. No-one does. No one deserves suffering even if it's an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of suffering. No one deserves to be punished in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y. No one deserves to han class="hi2">aan>ve to go through an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of psychologican class="hi2">aan>l hell or experience of pan class="hi2">aan>in or disfigurement or disan class="hi2">aan>bility or disean class="hi2">aan>se. These an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll forms of self an class="hi2">aan>buse. Every single exan class="hi2">aan>mple is someone trying to hurt themselves.

"Sickness is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to prove you can class="hi2">aan>n be hurt."

We're an class="hi2">aan> world filled with self an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking, self hurting, self an class="hi2">aan>busing, self han class="hi2">aan>rming, self destructive, self san class="hi2">aan>botan class="hi2">aan>ging, self denying, self han class="hi2">aan>ting, self loan class="hi2">aan>thing, self corrupting people, an class="hi2">aan>ll of whom think they deserve to suffer becan class="hi2">aan>use they're guilty. But they're not rean class="hi2">aan>lly guilty, an class="hi2">aan>nd the ENTIRE thing is just one huge mistan class="hi2">aan>ke.

Sin is not rean class="hi2">aan>l, or possible. Mean class="hi2">aan>ning an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck on God is not rean class="hi2">aan>l or possible. Mean class="hi2">aan>ning there is never justifican class="hi2">aan>tion for guilt, mean class="hi2">aan>ning there is never an class="hi2">aan> PURPOSE for suffering, to inflict just desserts or due justified punishment. There is never an class="hi2">aan> van class="hi2">aan>lid grounds for unhan class="hi2">aan>ppiness or disean class="hi2">aan>se or depression or an class="hi2">aan>nything less than class="hi2">aan>n God's will than class="hi2">aan>t we be han class="hi2">aan>ppy an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>lthy. The whole thing is an class="hi2">aan> gian class="hi2">aan>nt mistan class="hi2">aan>ke.

So an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t's rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening is than class="hi2">aan>t everyone is seriously mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, confused, lan class="hi2">aan>cking recognition, insan class="hi2">aan>ne, unclean class="hi2">aan>r, uncertan class="hi2">aan>in, an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id, not sure of an class="hi2">aan>nything, an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lly kind of lost in an class="hi2">aan> nightman class="hi2">aan>re of their own man class="hi2">aan>king. an class="hi2">Aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result of denian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>n unwillingness to look an class="hi2">aan>t their own innocence.

"Whan class="hi2">aan>t if you looked within an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>w no sin?

Dean class="hi2">aan>th isn't rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>n be threan class="hi2">aan>tened.

No-one needs to be dying. No-one needs to be suffering or sick. No-one needs to be unhan class="hi2">aan>ppy.

A guiltless mind cannot suffer

It is not possible for you to suffer unless there is guilt in your own mind. The only wan class="hi2">aan>y for an class="hi2">aan> mind to han class="hi2">aan>ve guilt in it, is for than class="hi2">aan>t san class="hi2">aan>me mind to believe it is guilty, thus identifying itself an class="hi2">aan>s guilty. an class="hi2">Aan>ll suffering is self-inflicted.

When it seems than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re upset in relan class="hi2">aan>tion to someone else, suffering or feeling hurt by them, with them seeming to do something to you, or an class="hi2">aan>s though they an class="hi2">aan>re the can class="hi2">aan>use of your upset, something han class="hi2">aan>s gone wrong with your perception.

You first believe yourself to be sinful an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore guilty. But then you deny an class="hi2">aan>nd repress this belief, portran class="hi2">aan>ying yourself an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n innocent victim in order to pretend you an class="hi2">aan>re not guilty.

Then someone comes an class="hi2">aan>long an class="hi2">aan>nd does something. It doesn't man class="hi2">aan>tter whan class="hi2">aan>t they do, it han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely nothing to do with you an class="hi2">aan>nd does not can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nything. It is "neutran class="hi2">aan>l". However, it man class="hi2">aan>y reflect, correlan class="hi2">aan>te to, plan class="hi2">aan>y upon, emphan class="hi2">aan>size, or put focus on, your own hidden belief in your own guilt.

This will "trigger" your own guilt to rise into your conscious an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness. Han class="hi2">aan>ving denied than class="hi2">aan>t it exists, which plan class="hi2">aan>ces it into unconsciousness, it suddenly an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to come out of nowhere, an class="hi2">aan>nd you still believe you an class="hi2">aan>re not the one who put it there.

It seems then fan class="hi2">aan>irly logican class="hi2">aan>l, even obvious, than class="hi2">aan>t this guilt only showed up when someone did or san class="hi2">aan>id something, so whan class="hi2">aan>t they did must be tied to it or the can class="hi2">aan>use of it somehow. Therefore, you conclude, they an class="hi2">aan>re the one who just hurt you an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>de you feel ban class="hi2">aan>d.

This is of course an class="hi2">aan> mis-perception. But it lean class="hi2">aan>ds you now to lan class="hi2">aan>unch into an class="hi2">aan> lengthy story, driven by pan class="hi2">aan>in, an class="hi2">aan>bout how this other person must be the one who is mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. Whan class="hi2">aan>tever or whoever they an class="hi2">aan>re, if they can class="hi2">aan>used your guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd suffering, then there must be something wrong with them.

You then explan class="hi2">aan>in than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re the one who must chan class="hi2">aan>nge in order for correction to occur. You will feel justified in an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking them, getting revenge or seeing them an class="hi2">aan>s wrong, becan class="hi2">aan>use you do not see how you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked your own self by believing you an class="hi2">aan>re guilty.

You can class="hi2">aan>n become very lost in this. This story unfolds in your perception an class="hi2">aan>bout how this person is doing an class="hi2">aan>ll this hurtful, upsetting stuff to you, can class="hi2">aan>using you to suffer. an class="hi2">Aan>nd while you're in this mode, you will be stuck.

You'll be stuck becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re not the can class="hi2">aan>use of your guilt, so getting them to chan class="hi2">aan>nge, even if you could get them to chan class="hi2">aan>nge, will not get rid of your guilt. The ego will tempt you to try to chan class="hi2">aan>nge an class="hi2">aan>nother in order to an class="hi2">aan>tone an class="hi2">aan>nd correct the situan class="hi2">aan>tion, promising than class="hi2">aan>t it will "work" an class="hi2">aan>nd succeed in restoring your illusion of pean class="hi2">aan>ce. But it won't work, becan class="hi2">aan>use only you an class="hi2">aan>re the can class="hi2">aan>use of your guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd suffering.

When you han class="hi2">aan>ve identified your sense of self with sinfulness an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt, you yourself han class="hi2">aan>ve come to perceive an class="hi2">aan>nd believe than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>de from sin an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt. It redefines your identity. Sin an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt can class="hi2">aan>n be tan class="hi2">aan>rgeted by the ego in others, becan class="hi2">aan>use these things an class="hi2">aan>re inside of the ego thought system.

an class="hi2">Aan>nything within the ego thought system is fan class="hi2">aan>ir gan class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>nd open to being an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked by an class="hi2">aan>ny other pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the ego thought system. If your sense of self is "within" this mind, man class="hi2">aan>de of or defined by whan class="hi2">aan>t this mind believes, then this ego mind can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re.

If you han class="hi2">aan>ve identified yourself an class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de of sin an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt, being sinful an class="hi2">aan>nd guilty, you han class="hi2">aan>ve identified yourself an class="hi2">Aan>S ego. You an class="hi2">aan>re now joined with an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the ego's belief system. an class="hi2">Aan>nything within than class="hi2">aan>t belief system can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked by than class="hi2">aan>t belief system. Then you will seem to experience than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked by other people's egos.

However, if your sense of Self, your identity, is outside of the ego's thought system entirely - if you an class="hi2">aan>re unconditionan class="hi2">aan>l love, one with Holy Spirit, then you an class="hi2">aan>re literan class="hi2">aan>lly out of rean class="hi2">aan>ch of the ego's thought system. It can class="hi2">aan>nnot tan class="hi2">aan>rget you, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ch to you, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot see you, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot identify you, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot interan class="hi2">aan>ct with you, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot touch you, an class="hi2">aan>nd it can class="hi2">aan>nnot hurt you.

The ego is incan class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of an class="hi2">aan>ccessing the Holy Spirit, becan class="hi2">aan>use the Holy Spirit is the light of truth an class="hi2">aan>nd light dispels dan class="hi2">aan>rkness. an class="hi2">Aan>pproan class="hi2">aan>ch the light an class="hi2">aan>nd the dan class="hi2">aan>rkness in the mind must be dispelled an class="hi2">aan>nd disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r. The ego is shown to be nothing, in the Holy Spirit's thought system, so it simply can class="hi2">aan>nnot exist where He exists.

You, identified an class="hi2">aan>s innocent an class="hi2">aan>nd holy, an class="hi2">aan>re incan class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of being an class="hi2">aan>ffected by the ego, by an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, by an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of guilt-inducing behan class="hi2">aan>vior, or an class="hi2">aan>ny judgements or an class="hi2">aan>ccusan class="hi2">aan>tions from others. Without guilt in your own mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd without you being the one to put than class="hi2">aan>t guilt there, nobody can class="hi2">aan>n put guilt there on your behan class="hi2">aan>lf. Nobody can class="hi2">aan>n rean class="hi2">aan>ch outside of the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd put guilt into the mind of the Son of God.

Therefore, without guilt in the mind, the mind can class="hi2">aan>nnot suffer. "an class="hi2">Aan> guiltless mind can class="hi2">aan>nnot suffer". an class="hi2">Aan> mind which does not, itself, believe in its own guilt, can class="hi2">aan>nnot suffer. an class="hi2">Aan> mind which does believe in its own guilt, must suffer, by its own han class="hi2">aan>nd, an class="hi2">aan>nd it will project the can class="hi2">aan>use of this suffering onto others. Yet nobody else is ever an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re. Only the ego an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cks itself, it never an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cks love becan class="hi2">aan>use it can class="hi2">aan>n't.

So if you an class="hi2">aan>re upset, can class="hi2">aan>ught up in an class="hi2">aan> dran class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t someone else is doing to you, how they an class="hi2">aan>re wrong, how they an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>using you to be unhan class="hi2">aan>ppy an class="hi2">aan>nd stressed an class="hi2">aan>nd upset, you an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. It is YOU who believe you an class="hi2">aan>re sinful an class="hi2">aan>nd guilty. It is YOUR sin an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt than class="hi2">aan>t is triggered by them. They han class="hi2">aan>ve merely come to show you, reflect to you, man class="hi2">aan>ke you an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of, point out an class="hi2">aan>nd trigger, the pre-existing belief in sin than class="hi2">aan>t you yourself put into your own mind. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot blan class="hi2">aan>me them for telling you whan class="hi2">aan>t you believe is true.

an class="hi2">Aan>lthough you will han class="hi2">aan>te for them to point out your own belief in your own fan class="hi2">aan>ults, you can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>rdly blan class="hi2">aan>me them for whan class="hi2">aan>t you yourself believe an class="hi2">aan>bout yourself. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to an class="hi2">aan>dmit than class="hi2">aan>t it is YOU who believe you an class="hi2">aan>re sinful an class="hi2">aan>nd guilty, an class="hi2">aan>nd your experience of upset becan class="hi2">aan>use of this is entirely something you han class="hi2">aan>ve chosen to experience.

A forgiveness about slaughtering pigs

an class="hi2">Aan>rriving an class="hi2">aan>t work I encountered my first truck loan class="hi2">aan>d of live pigs on their wan class="hi2">aan>y to the san class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>ge fan class="hi2">aan>ctory an class="hi2">aan>cross the street. It wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> double-decker piggy wan class="hi2">aan>gon complete with an class="hi2">aan>ir holes an class="hi2">aan>nd little pink piggy bits poking out an class="hi2">aan>nd wiggling an class="hi2">aan>round. an class="hi2">Aan>s I rean class="hi2">aan>lized whan class="hi2">aan>t it wan class="hi2">aan>s, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t it wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>bout to pull into the ban class="hi2">aan>con dean class="hi2">aan>th man class="hi2">aan>chine, I han class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>ction.

The rean class="hi2">aan>ction felt like san class="hi2">aan>dness coupled with an class="hi2">aan>nger. The an class="hi2">aan>nger felt like wan class="hi2">aan>nting to go stop it, an class="hi2">aan>nd the san class="hi2">aan>dness felt like the pigs didn't know whan class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>bout to han class="hi2">aan>ppen to them - than class="hi2">aan>t they were going to be victimized. Regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of whan class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppening, I wan class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>ction so now I han class="hi2">aan>ve to do an class="hi2">aan> fricking forgiveness.

Ok.

So obviously my perception is mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, otherwise I wouldn't be upset. It's impossible to be upset an class="hi2">aan>bout the truth. My perception wan class="hi2">aan>s showing me than class="hi2">aan>t the pigs were helpless victims with no power an class="hi2">aan>nd seemingly innocent. an class="hi2">Aan> voice in my mind, perhan class="hi2">aan>ps Jesus, san class="hi2">aan>id

"they know whan class="hi2">aan>t's going to han class="hi2">aan>ppen". But this didn't necessan class="hi2">aan>rily stop me rean class="hi2">aan>cting. Truth is though, on some higher level they do know becan class="hi2">aan>use nothing han class="hi2">aan>ppens but by choice, an class="hi2">aan>nd it wan class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>lly me than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> dan class="hi2">aan>rk experience.

So... by seeing the pigs an class="hi2">aan>s `innocent victims` with `nan class="hi2">aan>sty ego power` being wielded over them an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst their will, it wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> strong contran class="hi2">aan>st showing me where I believe certan class="hi2">aan>in things. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it's not an class="hi2">aan>bout the piggies, becan class="hi2">aan>use both the pigs an class="hi2">aan>nd the san class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>ge man class="hi2">aan>kers an class="hi2">aan>re pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the san class="hi2">aan>me ego thought system. The pigs only an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r to be victims becan class="hi2">aan>use I don't see than class="hi2">aan>t they chose this, an class="hi2">aan>nd the san class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>ge folk only seem like victimizers becan class="hi2">aan>use I think they do something to the pigs they didn't an class="hi2">aan>sk for.

an class="hi2">Aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t's this got to do with me? an class="hi2">Aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys it's something to do with me an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing rean class="hi2">aan>lly to do with them. I'm not upset becan class="hi2">aan>use of the pigs. I'm not upset becan class="hi2">aan>use of the ban class="hi2">aan>con fest. I'm upset becan class="hi2">aan>use it's showing me than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy han class="hi2">aan>ve something in me, in my mind, which believes in something incorrect, an class="hi2">aan>nd it's triggering it off. It's not an class="hi2">aan>bout them, it's an class="hi2">aan>bout me. I han class="hi2">aan>ve to withdran class="hi2">aan>w an class="hi2">aan>ll blan class="hi2">aan>me from the pig mongers an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lso withdran class="hi2">aan>w an class="hi2">aan>ll projection of victimhood from the piggies.

The piggies an class="hi2">aan>re not victims. The fan class="hi2">aan>rmers an class="hi2">aan>re not victimizers. The grean class="hi2">aan>sy san class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>ge folk an class="hi2">aan>re innocent. They don't even rean class="hi2">aan>lly exist. They're not rean class="hi2">aan>lly out there. It's an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m. I'm drean class="hi2">aan>ming it. So....

Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns I man class="hi2">aan>de up this whole scenan class="hi2">aan>rio. I man class="hi2">aan>de pigs. I man class="hi2">aan>de san class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>ges. I man class="hi2">aan>de ban class="hi2">aan>con fan class="hi2">aan>ctories. So secretly this reminds me than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly man class="hi2">aan>de up this whole thing myself which would mean class="hi2">aan>n I an class="hi2">aan>m guilty. So the guilt I see in them is my own guilt. Hmm.

Hmm. Ok. I an class="hi2">aan>m flan class="hi2">aan>shed an class="hi2">aan> memory of an class="hi2">aan> time in childhood when I used to hunt butterflies, ... an class="hi2">aan>nd kill them. I used to swan class="hi2">aan>t them with an class="hi2">aan> tennis ran class="hi2">aan>cket, or can class="hi2">aan>pture them an class="hi2">aan>nd keep them an class="hi2">aan> while but then they died becan class="hi2">aan>use I didn't feed them etc. Or even perhan class="hi2">aan>ps would stick an class="hi2">aan> pin in them. Vicious! ooo.. juicy pool of guilt there. I didn't know whan class="hi2">aan>t I wan class="hi2">aan>s doing, so it's forgivan class="hi2">aan>ble.

So even though I man class="hi2">aan>de than class="hi2">aan>t mistan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>nd I secretly covet ban class="hi2">aan>con an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>ges an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>nt to stick an class="hi2">aan> pin in the pigs, its only becan class="hi2">aan>use I han class="hi2">aan>ve lost touch with the truth of who I an class="hi2">aan>m. I forgot I an class="hi2">aan>m love. I forgot I an class="hi2">aan>m holy an class="hi2">aan>nd innocent an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve no needs. I forgot God loves me. So.. .I'm just mistan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>bout being guilty. Even if I did nan class="hi2">aan>sty things to innocent crean class="hi2">aan>tures, I'm still innocent becan class="hi2">aan>use I an class="hi2">aan>m not in my right mind. So I'm man class="hi2">aan>king mistan class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan>nd not rean class="hi2">aan>lizing it. I'm not to blan class="hi2">aan>me. The butterflies forgive me. I forgive me. I an class="hi2">aan>m forgiven not for whan class="hi2">aan>t I han class="hi2">aan>ve done but becan class="hi2">aan>use... I han class="hi2">aan>ve not rean class="hi2">aan>lly done it.

This is an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, it han class="hi2">aan>sn't han class="hi2">aan>ppened. I'm with God. I an class="hi2">aan>m guiltless an class="hi2">aan>nd sinless. I han class="hi2">aan>ven't done an class="hi2">aan>nything to an class="hi2">aan>nyone. God is not han class="hi2">aan>rmed. Rean class="hi2">aan>l immortan class="hi2">aan>l life han class="hi2">aan>s not been chan class="hi2">aan>nged. I han class="hi2">aan>ve not stopped being perfect love. I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely forgivan class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>nd innocent an class="hi2">aan>nd free. God loves me 100% becan class="hi2">aan>use he knows than class="hi2">aan>t pigs an class="hi2">aan>nd butterflies an class="hi2">aan>re just pan class="hi2">aan>rts of an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s no mean class="hi2">aan>ning an class="hi2">aan>nd I gan class="hi2">aan>ve it an class="hi2">aan>ll the mean class="hi2">aan>ning it han class="hi2">aan>d. I used the pigs an class="hi2">aan>nd pig fan class="hi2">aan>rmers an class="hi2">aan>s skan class="hi2">aan>pegoan class="hi2">aan>ts to project my own guilt so than class="hi2">aan>t I would han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>son to justify being guilty, which would help me to stan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from God. I wan class="hi2">aan>nted to be an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from God so I could keep my ego an class="hi2">aan>nd not be loved.

So... do I wan class="hi2">aan>nt to keep suffering? an class="hi2">Aan>m I willing to let this go? Can class="hi2">aan>n I let go an class="hi2">aan>nd surrender this need to prove I an class="hi2">aan>m guilty? Yes.. I willingly surrender this guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd recognize I an class="hi2">aan>m forgiven, I clan class="hi2">aan>im an class="hi2">aan>nd own up to being innocent becan class="hi2">aan>use none of this rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppened. God loves me. Nothing han class="hi2">aan>s gone wrong. Nothing han class="hi2">aan>s died. Dean class="hi2">aan>th isn't rean class="hi2">aan>l. Everyone is equan class="hi2">aan>lly innocent an class="hi2">aan>nd holy. Only love is rean class="hi2">aan>l.

Holy Spirit, plean class="hi2">aan>se hean class="hi2">aan>l my mind an class="hi2">aan>nd correct my thinking an class="hi2">aan>nd remove an class="hi2">aan>ll of this guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd help me to remember my true innocent an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t of an class="hi2">aan>ll concerned. I let it go. I an class="hi2">aan>ccept your truth.

This is not true.

Whan class="hi2">aan>t is rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening is than class="hi2">aan>t we're san class="hi2">aan>ying than class="hi2">aan>t people an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ffected by whan class="hi2">aan>t is han class="hi2">aan>ppening outside of them, than class="hi2">aan>t events an class="hi2">aan>nd words an class="hi2">aan>nd people's an class="hi2">aan>ctions can class="hi2">aan>use them han class="hi2">aan>rm, than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re therefore vulneran class="hi2">aan>ble, offendan class="hi2">aan>ble, hurtan class="hi2">aan>ble. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t therefore, becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re hurtan class="hi2">aan>ble, we must an class="hi2">aan>im to not hurt them.

But this completely an class="hi2">aan>ssumes than class="hi2">aan>t it's true, norman class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l for people to be hurtan class="hi2">aan>ble.

Someone who believes they an class="hi2">aan>re hurtan class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>re in denian class="hi2">aan>l of their immortan class="hi2">aan>lity.

So whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly ends up han class="hi2">aan>ppening, is than class="hi2">aan>t if someone an class="hi2">aan>voids san class="hi2">aan>ying an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>r word or doing an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>r thing in order to not displean class="hi2">aan>se you, ie to plean class="hi2">aan>se you, this is the ego personan class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>t work.

People plean class="hi2">aan>sing is suicide.

So while on the surfan class="hi2">aan>ce it might seem like, well, we're being kind, we're tan class="hi2">aan>king other people's needs into consideran class="hi2">aan>tion, we're plan class="hi2">aan>can class="hi2">aan>ting, we're being gentle, we're trying to han class="hi2">aan>ve compan class="hi2">aan>ssion, we're understan class="hi2">aan>nding other people's insecurities, etc... an class="hi2">aan>ll well an class="hi2">aan>nd good, but this isn't an class="hi2">Aan>S good for people an class="hi2">aan>s to get them to be more responsible for their own existence. If it's up to me to chan class="hi2">aan>nge my expressions in order to not offend someone who is pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>rly touchy an class="hi2">aan>bout certan class="hi2">aan>in subjects, then who rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>s the problem?

They're an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly plan class="hi2">aan>ying an class="hi2">aan> victim gan class="hi2">aan>me, an class="hi2">aan>re projecting fan class="hi2">aan>ult onto me, an class="hi2">aan>re trying to get me to chan class="hi2">aan>nge to san class="hi2">aan>tisfy their an class="hi2">aan>gendan class="hi2">aan>, an class="hi2">aan>nd they wan class="hi2">aan>nt me to stop being an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in wan class="hi2">aan>y so than class="hi2">aan>t they can class="hi2">aan>n be justified in defending their beliefs.

If we're an class="hi2">aan>ll going to 'get an class="hi2">aan>long' han class="hi2">aan>rmoniously, it is only going to han class="hi2">aan>ppen when everyone grows up an class="hi2">aan>nd tan class="hi2">aan>kes full responsibility for everything they an class="hi2">aan>re experiencing, even if its fean class="hi2">aan>r or guilt or offense or hurt or whan class="hi2">aan>tever. It's ean class="hi2">aan>ch person's responsibility. an class="hi2">Aan>nd never is your life an class="hi2">aan>nyone else's responsibility. an class="hi2">Aan>nd nobody else is to blan class="hi2">aan>me for man class="hi2">aan>king you upset. If you wan class="hi2">aan>nt than class="hi2">aan>t, go an class="hi2">aan>hean class="hi2">aan>d... it will man class="hi2">aan>ke you wean class="hi2">aan>k an class="hi2">aan>nd even more an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>nd vulneran class="hi2">aan>ble to believe than class="hi2">aan>t.

So ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely "PC" turns you into an class="hi2">aan> victim. It an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cks your invulneran class="hi2">aan>bility. It an class="hi2">aan>ssumes than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ffected by the world an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t therefore, an class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the world, everyone else han class="hi2">aan>s to tone down whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re doing to you. It's entirely ban class="hi2">aan>sed an class="hi2">aan>round an class="hi2">aan> victim mentan class="hi2">aan>lity. It strips people of their power. It an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly disempowers people. It an class="hi2">aan>lso man class="hi2">aan>kes everyone be in DENIan class="hi2">Aan>L. You an class="hi2">aan>re in denian class="hi2">aan>l of yourself becan class="hi2">aan>use you're trying to not show an class="hi2">aan>ll of yourself to others, an class="hi2">aan>nd everyone else is in denian class="hi2">aan>l becan class="hi2">aan>use they wan class="hi2">aan>nt to keep pretending you an class="hi2">aan>re responsible for their rean class="hi2">aan>ctions.

It doesn't man class="hi2">aan>ke people han class="hi2">aan>ppier, becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>ll it mean class="hi2">aan>ns is you an class="hi2">aan>re not being an class="hi2">Aan>UTHENTIC or HONEST towan class="hi2">aan>rd them, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re ban class="hi2">aan>by'ing them, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re plan class="hi2">aan>can class="hi2">aan>ting them an class="hi2">aan>nd putting on an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>can class="hi2">aan>de for them, likely in order for YOU to "not get hurt" through your own victimhood. So PC is rean class="hi2">aan>lly invented by victims, for victims, to continue victimizan class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s NOTHING to do with helping people to be stronger or more powerful or less hurt or more respected. The ego wan class="hi2">aan>nts to be respected, becan class="hi2">aan>use it is disrespectful.

"Nothing rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>n be threan class="hi2">aan>tened. Nothing unrean class="hi2">aan>l exists. Herein lies the pean class="hi2">aan>ce of God."

There is an class="hi2">aan> brief discussion of the difference between the worlds of knowledge an class="hi2">aan>nd perception, which han class="hi2">aan>ve given rise to hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>nd its opposite.

It finishes with an class="hi2">aan> brief introduction to the idean class="hi2">aan> of christ vision or true perception, coupled with forgiveness.

In the big picture, this mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll criticism of the course is rean class="hi2">aan>lly just an class="hi2">aan>n interplan class="hi2">aan>y of egotism between certan class="hi2">aan>in individuan class="hi2">aan>ls an class="hi2">aan>nd the course's representan class="hi2">aan>tion of the truth. which they an class="hi2">aan>re not yet willing to be open to.

Choosing an class="hi2">aan>n Edition

When an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles wan class="hi2">aan>s first scribed, Helen Shucman class="hi2">aan>n wrote down the words Jesus dictan class="hi2">aan>ted into note books, using her own shorthan class="hi2">aan>nd. Lan class="hi2">aan>ter "The Notes" were typed into plan class="hi2">aan>in English with the help of Bill Thetford. This formed an class="hi2">aan>n ean class="hi2">aan>rly version commonly referred to an class="hi2">aan>s "The Urtext".

The urtext wan class="hi2">aan>s then considered to contan class="hi2">aan>in some man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l which wan class="hi2">aan>s somewhan class="hi2">aan>t personan class="hi2">aan>l, van class="hi2">aan>rious typing errors an class="hi2">aan>nd so on, so further editing took plan class="hi2">aan>ce. Van class="hi2">aan>rious man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l wan class="hi2">aan>s removed an class="hi2">aan>nd/or chan class="hi2">aan>nged, especian class="hi2">aan>lly in the ean class="hi2">aan>rlier chan class="hi2">aan>pters. Chan class="hi2">aan>pters an class="hi2">aan>nd section hean class="hi2">aan>dings were inserted an class="hi2">aan>nd this eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly formed the "Hugh Lynn Can class="hi2">aan>yce" edition, so nan class="hi2">aan>med due to an class="hi2">aan> version given to the Edgan class="hi2">aan>r Can class="hi2">aan>yce foundan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd uncovered in the an class="hi2">Aan>CIM copyright trian class="hi2">aan>l. Some consider this version to be where Helen an class="hi2">aan>nd Bill han class="hi2">aan>d finished editing.

Ken Wan class="hi2">aan>pnick lan class="hi2">aan>ter an class="hi2">aan>rrived an class="hi2">aan>nd felt the Course needed further editing. More man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l wan class="hi2">aan>s removed an class="hi2">aan>nd chan class="hi2">aan>nged an class="hi2">aan>nd clean class="hi2">aan>ned up. This eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly becan class="hi2">aan>me the Criswell edition, which then become the Offician class="hi2">aan>l First Edition. The Foundan class="hi2">aan>tion for Inner Pean class="hi2">aan>ce published an class="hi2">aan>n initian class="hi2">aan>l run of 5000 copies of the 1st edition, with the 1975 copyright, in mid 1976.

There wan class="hi2">aan>s then an class="hi2">aan> legan class="hi2">aan>l court can class="hi2">aan>se in which the copyright of an class="hi2">Aan>CIM wan class="hi2">aan>s brought into question, man class="hi2">aan>inly due to generan class="hi2">aan>l distribution of course man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l prior to the 1975 copyright. The copyright wan class="hi2">aan>s then voided, man class="hi2">aan>king the first edition public doman class="hi2">aan>in. This then led to further editing, which an class="hi2">aan>ccomplished an class="hi2">aan> few things:

Combining the three sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te volumes into an class="hi2">aan> single book

Being an class="hi2">aan>ble to an class="hi2">aan>pply an class="hi2">aan> new 1985 copyright covering the edits an class="hi2">aan>nd the inclusion of the Prefan class="hi2">aan>ce

The crean class="hi2">aan>tion of an class="hi2">aan>n offician class="hi2">aan>l reference system to help identify an class="hi2">aan>nd locan class="hi2">aan>te specific pan class="hi2">aan>ssan class="hi2">aan>ges

Reduction in costs an class="hi2">aan>nd redesign of the book cover etc

This becan class="hi2">aan>me the offician class="hi2">aan>l 2nd edition, sold by the Foundan class="hi2">aan>tion for Inner Pean class="hi2">aan>ce. In yean class="hi2">aan>rs to follow, an class="hi2">aan> finan class="hi2">aan>l 3rd edition wan class="hi2">aan>s published an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result of further edits, including two of the supplements.

Mean class="hi2">aan>nwhile, relan class="hi2">aan>ting to events in the court can class="hi2">aan>se, the Notes an class="hi2">aan>nd Urtext were photocopied an class="hi2">aan>nd lean class="hi2">aan>ked on the internet. an class="hi2">Aan>lso lan class="hi2">aan>ter editions such an class="hi2">aan>s the Criswell an class="hi2">aan>nd first edition were typed an class="hi2">aan>nd posted online. Efforts by van class="hi2">aan>rious individuan class="hi2">aan>ls an class="hi2">aan>nd organ class="hi2">aan>nizan class="hi2">aan>tions resulted, legan class="hi2">aan>lly or otherwise, in the publishing of the ean class="hi2">aan>rlier man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l in book form.

Recommendan class="hi2">aan>tion

If you an class="hi2">aan>re newer to the course, I would recommend either the Foundan class="hi2">aan>tion for Inner Pean class="hi2">aan>ce 3rd Edition, or the Circle of an class="hi2">Aan>tonement Complete an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>nnotan class="hi2">aan>ted edition. The Circle of an class="hi2">Aan>tonement edition han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> lot more man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l, but it includes man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l which wan class="hi2">aan>s edited out by FIP. This includes man class="hi2">aan>ny references to souls, discussions an class="hi2">aan>bout sex an class="hi2">aan>nd van class="hi2">aan>rious other man class="hi2">aan>tters.

ARTICLE:
All sin is just a mistake

Everything than class="hi2">aan>t we consider to be an class="hi2">aan> sin, is nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n being mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. Being mistan class="hi2">aan>ken mean class="hi2">aan>ns you an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan>n error in judgement. You've come to an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse conclusion. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns you an class="hi2">aan>re incorrect. You han class="hi2">aan>ve fan class="hi2">aan>ulty rean class="hi2">aan>soning. You an class="hi2">aan>re not recognizing whan class="hi2">aan>t is true.
Sin is an class="hi2">aan>lso the idean class="hi2">aan> of insan class="hi2">aan>nity, an class="hi2">aan>nd insan class="hi2">aan>nity rean class="hi2">aan>lly is nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n confusion an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t is true an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>l. Believing than class="hi2">aan>t something is true which is not, is simply an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of being mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. You han class="hi2">aan>ve simply man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>n error, an class="hi2">aan>nd now you an class="hi2">aan>re confused.
While you an class="hi2">aan>re in the confusion, believing than class="hi2">aan>t your fan class="hi2">aan>lse truth is true, you an class="hi2">Aan>RE mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, but you do not recognize than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. You believe than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly sinned, pulled off the impossible, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccomplished something than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n never han class="hi2">aan>ppen in rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
To believe this IS, nevertheless, being very mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. Just an class="hi2">aan>s denian class="hi2">aan>l hides the truth from you. Just an class="hi2">aan>s fran class="hi2">aan>ming an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>cts an class="hi2">aan>s sins is an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ilure to recognize they an class="hi2">aan>re JUST mistan class="hi2">aan>kes. God knows than class="hi2">aan>t his children an class="hi2">aan>s simply mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n never be sinners, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll they need is to recognize their error an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccept the truth.
In fan class="hi2">aan>ct let's put it this wan class="hi2">aan>y. You should refran class="hi2">aan>me EVERY sin, an class="hi2">aan>s nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n being mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. Every single thing which you consider sinful, evil, wrong, ban class="hi2">aan>d, negan class="hi2">aan>tive, etc should be recognized for whan class="hi2">aan>t it IS an class="hi2">aan>nd not for whan class="hi2">aan>t you think it is.
If someone is trying to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nother, they an class="hi2">aan>re simply mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. They an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>bout who they an class="hi2">aan>re. They an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken in believing the other person is not one with them. They an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken for believing they an class="hi2">aan>re guilty, an class="hi2">aan>nd they an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken in believing than class="hi2">aan>t projecting than class="hi2">aan>t guilt onto someone else is going to man class="hi2">aan>ke it lean class="hi2">aan>ve their mind. Even if they go through with this, they an class="hi2">aan>re still simply man class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan> sequence of mistan class="hi2">aan>kes.
Even serious an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck such an class="hi2">aan>s murder is an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of being mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. The person is obviously insan class="hi2">aan>ne, which mean class="hi2">aan>ns they an class="hi2">aan>re confused an class="hi2">aan>nd do not recognize whan class="hi2">aan>t is true. They an class="hi2">aan>re very much mistan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth is. They believe than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re justified in the an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, when in fan class="hi2">aan>ct they an class="hi2">aan>ren't, an class="hi2">aan>nd so they an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. They believe than class="hi2">aan>t the dean class="hi2">aan>th of the other will an class="hi2">aan>llow them to gan class="hi2">aan>in something, which isn't true, an class="hi2">aan>nd so they an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. an class="hi2">Aan>nd by finding the other person to be deserving of dean class="hi2">aan>th, is an class="hi2">aan> totan class="hi2">aan>lly mistan class="hi2">aan>ken notion, since no-one deserves dean class="hi2">aan>th.
No man class="hi2">aan>tter how you look an class="hi2">aan>t it, if you look an class="hi2">aan>t the big picture an class="hi2">aan>nd recognize whan class="hi2">aan>t is true - the immortan class="hi2">aan>l innocence an class="hi2">aan>nd perfection of an class="hi2">aan>ll beings, it becomes very clean class="hi2">aan>r than class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>n simply be MISTan class="hi2">Aan>KEN, but we can class="hi2">aan>nnot sin. an class="hi2">Aan>ll evil an class="hi2">aan>cts an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>kes. an class="hi2">Aan>ll scan class="hi2">aan>pegoan class="hi2">aan>ting is an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. an class="hi2">Aan>ll belief in your own unworthiness is an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. Every an class="hi2">aan>buse, torture, ran class="hi2">aan>pe, killing, destruction, is an class="hi2">aan>ll to do with people being very mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. Even the can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>tion of horrible events is an class="hi2">aan> mis-crean class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ken choice in whan class="hi2">aan>t to can class="hi2">aan>use.
No one in their right mind is mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. Being san class="hi2">aan>ne mean class="hi2">aan>ns recognizing rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd knowing whan class="hi2">aan>t is true. If you know whan class="hi2">aan>t is rean class="hi2">aan>lly true, you an class="hi2">aan>re not mistan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t is true. If you an class="hi2">aan>re in touch with rean class="hi2">aan>lity, you an class="hi2">aan>re not mistan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t is possible. No one in their right mind would even try to sin or an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nyone, becan class="hi2">aan>use they recognize than class="hi2">aan>t they would han class="hi2">aan>ve to be VERY mistan class="hi2">aan>ken to believe it could an class="hi2">aan>) be an class="hi2">aan>ccomplished an class="hi2">aan>nd b) be justified.
If you feel guilty, you an class="hi2">aan>re simply incorrect an class="hi2">aan>bout being guilty. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot be guilty in God's eyes, becan class="hi2">aan>use He crean class="hi2">aan>ted you to be innocent forever. So your belief than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re guilty is an class="hi2">aan>n error. You an class="hi2">aan>re incorrect. You an class="hi2">aan>re confused an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t is true. You might be insisting than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re RIGHT, but it's not going to man class="hi2">aan>ke you Han class="hi2">Aan>PPY, becan class="hi2">aan>use being right an class="hi2">aan>bout something which is fan class="hi2">aan>lse is an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of the denian class="hi2">aan>l of han class="hi2">aan>ppiness.
Forgiveness, in the purest sense, is nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n recognizing whan class="hi2">aan>t is true. It's an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of NOT being mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. It's an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of recognition, san class="hi2">aan>nity, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ving the whole story. It lan class="hi2">aan>cks no informan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd is not deceived. It simply looks an class="hi2">aan>nd notices than class="hi2">aan>t everything ego or evil is simply fan class="hi2">aan>lse, impossible, untrue, unrean class="hi2">aan>l, han class="hi2">aan>s no consequences, an class="hi2">aan>nd does not prove an class="hi2">aan>nything. It an class="hi2">aan>lso recognizes than class="hi2">aan>t to believe in such things an class="hi2">aan>s possible would be an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke.
It's kind of like, an class="hi2">aan> question of whether or not you han class="hi2">aan>ve the fan class="hi2">aan>cts. If you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ll the fan class="hi2">aan>cts, you an class="hi2">aan>re in touch with rean class="hi2">aan>lity. You know whan class="hi2">aan>t the whole picture is. But if some fan class="hi2">aan>cts (informan class="hi2">aan>tion) an class="hi2">aan>re missing, you proban class="hi2">aan>bly an class="hi2">aan>re going to stan class="hi2">aan>rt dran class="hi2">aan>wing some fan class="hi2">aan>lse conclusions. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now you an class="hi2">aan>re entering into illusions, into temptan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd deception, becan class="hi2">aan>use something now an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to be something it isn't.
So let's put it this wan class="hi2">aan>y. Right now this instan class="hi2">aan>nt, there is no sin an class="hi2">aan>nywhere. There is no evil an class="hi2">aan>nywhere. an class="hi2">Aan>ll there is, is an class="hi2">aan> bunch of people who an class="hi2">aan>re, temporan class="hi2">aan>rily, very mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. Than class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan>ll. They're not evil. They're not sinners. They're just confused. They an class="hi2">aan>re out of touch with who they an class="hi2">aan>re. They don't recognize their brothers. They believe things an class="hi2">aan>re true which an class="hi2">aan>ren't. They an class="hi2">aan>re just temporan class="hi2">aan>rily insan class="hi2">aan>ne. an class="hi2">Aan>nd insan class="hi2">aan>nity is nothing but being mistan class="hi2">aan>ken.
Mistan class="hi2">aan>kes can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys be corrected. They an class="hi2">aan>re just temporan class="hi2">aan>ry errors than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>king. Kind of an class="hi2">aan>n "oops". You concluded something which wan class="hi2">aan>s incorrect. You decided than class="hi2">aan>t something mean class="hi2">aan>ns something than class="hi2">aan>t it doesn't. You rean class="hi2">aan>soned with fan class="hi2">aan>ults an class="hi2">aan>nd ended up confused. You an class="hi2">aan>re perhan class="hi2">aan>ps unwilling to an class="hi2">aan>ccept the truth an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re in denian class="hi2">aan>l of it, which is just an class="hi2">aan> desire to stan class="hi2">aan>y mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, due to not recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re.
Those who an class="hi2">aan>re insan class="hi2">aan>ne therefore don't recognize they an class="hi2">aan>re simply mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, an class="hi2">aan>nd believe their beliefs an class="hi2">aan>re completely true. Those who an class="hi2">aan>re in denian class="hi2">aan>l do not recognize than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re in denian class="hi2">aan>l, they believe they an class="hi2">aan>re fully an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of everything an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ccepting an class="hi2">aan>ll of the truth. They an class="hi2">aan>ren't, an class="hi2">aan>nd so they an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. But they believe they an class="hi2">aan>re not mistan class="hi2">aan>ken.
This then ends up being the key to the turning point in the mind. It's an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of han class="hi2">aan>ving to han class="hi2">aan>ve than class="hi2">aan>t "little willingness", to be open to the possibility, than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t you believe MIGHT simply be an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke than class="hi2">aan>t you've man class="hi2">aan>de. Not like han class="hi2">aan>ving to an class="hi2">aan>dmit to being in sin, or than class="hi2">aan>t you rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re guilty, but just than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re somehow "technican class="hi2">aan>lly" incorrect. This doesn't han class="hi2">aan>ve to entan class="hi2">aan>il shan class="hi2">aan>me or guilt or other rebounds relan class="hi2">aan>ted to being "wrong". It's just an class="hi2">aan> simple fan class="hi2">aan>ct.
If, while you an class="hi2">aan>re in the midst of believing you an class="hi2">aan>re completely right, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re not mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re not recognizing why you an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, you become an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st an class="hi2">aan> little willing to consider with some humility than class="hi2">aan>t you MIGHT not be "correct", then you stan class="hi2">aan>rt to open up to CORRECTION. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to get some lan class="hi2">aan>rger truth into your mind. You need an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle to shine in the mind an class="hi2">aan>nd remind you of whan class="hi2">aan>t is true. To correct your level confusion. Being CORRECT han class="hi2">aan>s nothing to do with being RIGHTEOUS.
Correction, which is provided by the Holy Spirit an class="hi2">aan>nd the truth he represents, is simple the ran class="hi2">aan>dian class="hi2">aan>nt fan class="hi2">aan>ct of "the miran class="hi2">aan>cle", the truth, reflecting the truth of God. It an class="hi2">aan>cts an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> light of san class="hi2">aan>nity, correctness, an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>cy, truth, recognition an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>son. You need correction, han class="hi2">aan>ving man class="hi2">aan>de ERRORS, so than class="hi2">aan>t you will become "corrected". When you an class="hi2">aan>re corrected, you an class="hi2">aan>re san class="hi2">aan>ne. When you an class="hi2">aan>re corrected, you an class="hi2">aan>re han class="hi2">aan>ppy.
So rean class="hi2">aan>lly it an class="hi2">aan>ll boils down to an class="hi2">aan> simple man class="hi2">aan>tter of whether you an class="hi2">aan>re correct or whether you an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. Sin never rean class="hi2">aan>lly enters into it, nor does guilt or fean class="hi2">aan>r. Those an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll the seeming side effects of being mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, coupled with the rejection of correction. The rejection of forgiveness. Forgiveness is rean class="hi2">aan>lly just an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of diffusing the dran class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan> of "sin guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd punishment" an class="hi2">aan>nd looking an class="hi2">aan>t the fan class="hi2">aan>cts. Looking with sight, with rean class="hi2">aan>son, an class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t things an class="hi2">Aan>CTUan class="hi2">Aan>LLY an class="hi2">aan>re. Recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>LL you an class="hi2">aan>re right now is in an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ken stan class="hi2">aan>te, you've man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>n error somewhere an class="hi2">aan>long the lines, an class="hi2">aan>nd now an class="hi2">aan>ll you need is to correct it.
"CORRECTION of the error brings relean class="hi2">aan>se."
"The term "right-mindedness" is properly used an class="hi2">aan>s the correction for wrong- mindedness, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>pplies to the stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind which induces an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te perception."
an class="hi2">Aan>LL sin must be re-fran class="hi2">aan>med an class="hi2">aan>s nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n being mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. Every person you han class="hi2">aan>te, is just mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re just mistan class="hi2">aan>ken for han class="hi2">aan>ting them. an class="hi2">Aan>nyone who ever hurt you, wan class="hi2">aan>s simply mistan class="hi2">aan>ken for hurting you, becan class="hi2">aan>use they man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>n error. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ny hurt you experienced wan class="hi2">aan>s simply you being mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, believing you can class="hi2">aan>n be hurt an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, given you an class="hi2">aan>re immortan class="hi2">aan>l. So now you, an class="hi2">aan>nd the other person, an class="hi2">aan>re just mutuan class="hi2">aan>lly mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan>ll.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t than class="hi2">aan>t tells you is than class="hi2">aan>t if someone's an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck upon you wan class="hi2">aan>s merely an class="hi2">aan> consequence of them being MISTan class="hi2">Aan>KEN an class="hi2">aan>bout yourself an class="hi2">aan>nd themselves, they DID NOT REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY MEan class="hi2">Aan>N IT. They were NOT in their right mind when they expressed this an class="hi2">aan>ction, ban class="hi2">aan>sed on an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ken stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind.

To forgive someone, therefore, for sin or an class="hi2">aan>buse or an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck or han class="hi2">aan>rm of an class="hi2">aan>ny kind, for an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of upset or broken relan class="hi2">aan>ting or outright onslan class="hi2">aan>ught, is merely to RECOGNIZE than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re NOT in their right mind, they an class="hi2">Aan>RE very mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if you buy into it, into the belief than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re TOTan class="hi2">Aan>LLY san class="hi2">aan>ne in an class="hi2">aan>ll their decisions an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>cting an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst you ON PURPOSE knowing exan class="hi2">aan>ctly whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re doing, deliberan class="hi2">aan>tely, YOU an class="hi2">aan>re very mistan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>s well.

The world is just an class="hi2">aan> world of insan class="hi2">aan>nity. an class="hi2">Aan> man class="hi2">aan>d world, within an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>d idean class="hi2">aan>. Even the tiny man class="hi2">aan>d idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n do the impossible, wan class="hi2">aan>s simply an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ken conclusion. It wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n effort to an class="hi2">aan>ssert something than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n NEVER be true. It wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to clan class="hi2">aan>im than class="hi2">aan>t God can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked or opposed. Than class="hi2">aan>t is not possible. an class="hi2">Aan>nyone who believes in than class="hi2">aan>t is SIMPLY MISTan class="hi2">Aan>KEN. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ny belief in sin or sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion or bodies or span class="hi2">aan>cetime is SIMPLY an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ken belief. These things an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll fan class="hi2">aan>lse, untrue an class="hi2">aan>nd impossible.
It utterly boils down to nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> question of an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>cy. an class="hi2">Aan>re you correct, or an class="hi2">aan>re you mistan class="hi2">aan>ken? an class="hi2">Aan>re you rean class="hi2">aan>lly in touch with whan class="hi2">aan>t is true, or an class="hi2">aan>re you confused an class="hi2">aan>nd mistan class="hi2">aan>ken? an class="hi2">Aan>re your beliefs lined up with God's will an class="hi2">aan>nd truth, or han class="hi2">aan>ve you invented some MISTan class="hi2">Aan>KEN truth which contran class="hi2">aan>cts the truth an class="hi2">aan>nd is therefore mistan class="hi2">aan>ken? Do you recognize you an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re you willing to an class="hi2">aan>ccept correction?
When Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys (biblican class="hi2">aan>lly) "Forgive them Fan class="hi2">aan>ther for they know not whan class="hi2">aan>t they do", this encan class="hi2">aan>psulan class="hi2">aan>tes the whole thing. If you were to recognize whan class="hi2">aan>t people an class="hi2">aan>re doing, or whan class="hi2">aan>t their stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind is being driven by, you'd recognize they simply DO NOT KNOW whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re doing. They an class="hi2">aan>re MISTan class="hi2">Aan>KEN, in an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ken stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind, an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of insan class="hi2">aan>nity. They an class="hi2">aan>ren't even an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of whan class="hi2">aan>t they're doing. They think they an class="hi2">aan>re doing something else. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if they do not love you they don't even recognize you.
By recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll "sinful behan class="hi2">aan>vior" is simply by confused, temporan class="hi2">aan>rily mentan class="hi2">aan>lly ill people an class="hi2">aan>cting out from stan class="hi2">aan>tes of mistan class="hi2">aan>kenness, not rean class="hi2">aan>lizing whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re doing, not rean class="hi2">aan>lly knowing why they an class="hi2">aan>re doing it, how can class="hi2">aan>n you an class="hi2">aan>ccuse them or hold it an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst them? an class="hi2">Aan>ll they're doing is man class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>nd being in error, doing something by mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, believing it wan class="hi2">aan>s something else, not REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY intending to. No-one REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY wan class="hi2">aan>nts to hurt an class="hi2">aan>nyone. No one REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY in an class="hi2">aan> right-minded san class="hi2">aan>ne stan class="hi2">aan>te Wan class="hi2">Aan>NTS to induce suffering.
Let's san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t simply, when someone's mind goes into an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of confusion, they lose touch with rean class="hi2">aan>lity. How they an class="hi2">aan>ct or express themselves then is going to be coming from an class="hi2">aan> kind of unconsciousness, an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck of an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, not rean class="hi2">aan>lly knowing whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re doing. They an class="hi2">aan>re going to an class="hi2">aan>ct in error. They BELIEVE they know whan class="hi2">aan>t is true, but they don't. an class="hi2">Aan>nd everyone simply an class="hi2">aan>cts on whan class="hi2">aan>t they believe is true. It's not possible to do otherwise. So now you've got people seeming to exhibit insan class="hi2">aan>ne evil behan class="hi2">aan>vior, justifying it, but who an class="hi2">aan>re only an class="hi2">aan>cting WITHIN the confines of their thought system - within the confines of their truth.
When their truth is not true, when they an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>nd confused, they an class="hi2">aan>re LOST. an class="hi2">Aan>nd when they an class="hi2">aan>re lost they an class="hi2">aan>re out of touch with themselves an class="hi2">aan>nd with others. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll their an class="hi2">aan>ctions now become an class="hi2">Aan>CCIDENTan class="hi2">Aan>L. They keep man class="hi2">aan>king mistan class="hi2">aan>kes. They keep justifying things ban class="hi2">aan>sed on mistan class="hi2">aan>kes. They keep being motivan class="hi2">aan>ted by mistan class="hi2">aan>kes. Compelled by mistan class="hi2">aan>kes. Urged into certan class="hi2">aan>in rean class="hi2">aan>ctions ban class="hi2">aan>sed on mistan class="hi2">aan>kes. Becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ke. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the whole time they don't even know they an class="hi2">aan>re doing this becan class="hi2">aan>use their conscious mind is disconnected from rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd everything they do they believe is totan class="hi2">aan>lly justified.
There is no sin. There is only an class="hi2">aan> temporan class="hi2">aan>ry error. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll errors can class="hi2">aan>n be corrected. an class="hi2">Aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke does not can class="hi2">aan>ll for PUNISHMENT of an class="hi2">aan>ny kind. If someone is tan class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>th test an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan> mis-can class="hi2">aan>lculan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd comes up with an class="hi2">aan> confused result, which they think is an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te, an class="hi2">aan>nd which they will defend, they han class="hi2">aan>rdly deserve to be punished, hit, an class="hi2">aan>bused, dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ged or destroyed. Becan class="hi2">aan>use those an class="hi2">aan>re not the things than class="hi2">aan>t the person NEEDS, an class="hi2">aan>nd those things an class="hi2">aan>re NOT CORRECTION. It does not provide them with the CORRECT an class="hi2">Aan>NSWER in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y.
PUNISHMENT DOES NOT CORRECT MISTan class="hi2">Aan>KES. THOSE WHO PUNISH an class="hi2">Aan>RE Man class="hi2">Aan>KING MISTan class="hi2">Aan>KES.
In fan class="hi2">aan>ct, punishment is itself an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. It's ban class="hi2">aan>sed on an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception than class="hi2">aan>t the error wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> SIN, an class="hi2">aan>nd not just an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> person can class="hi2">aan>n undo their temporan class="hi2">aan>ry insan class="hi2">aan>nity by experiencing pan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd suffering, to "motivan class="hi2">aan>te" them towan class="hi2">aan>rds the truth. This is utterly ridiculous. an class="hi2">Aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t punishment does is cover up the mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, turn it into an class="hi2">aan> sin, solidify it, lock it in, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>dd to the mentan class="hi2">aan>l illness in the mind by an class="hi2">aan>dding more confusion-inducing pan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd suffering. It does not work. an class="hi2">Aan>ll it does is lean class="hi2">aan>d to even more resentment an class="hi2">aan>nd mistan class="hi2">aan>ken conclusions lan class="hi2">aan>ter.
If someone han class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>n error on their man class="hi2">aan>th test, whan class="hi2">aan>t it rean class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>lls for is proper correction of the mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. The person needs to be SHOWN, by exan class="hi2">aan>mple, whan class="hi2">aan>t the CORRECT truth is, an class="hi2">aan>nd why it is true. The MISTan class="hi2">Aan>KE needs to be identified an class="hi2">aan>nd pointed out, not an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> sin, but simply to bring an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan>nd recognition. Then the student recognizes WHY it wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, becan class="hi2">aan>use the true truth man class="hi2">aan>kes more sense, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>utoman class="hi2">aan>tican class="hi2">aan>lly justifies an class="hi2">aan>lignment with it becan class="hi2">aan>use it is OBVIOUS. The student than class="hi2">aan>n "tan class="hi2">aan>kes on" the grean class="hi2">aan>ter truth an class="hi2">aan>nd receives it an class="hi2">aan>nd is now corrected, such than class="hi2">aan>t in future they will not be mistan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in. They han class="hi2">aan>ve become the truth. This is the true correction of errors without punishment ever entering into it.
an class="hi2">Aan> belief in sin can class="hi2">aan>lls for punishment an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th. an class="hi2">Aan> belief than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke is NOT merely an class="hi2">aan> han class="hi2">aan>rmless correctan class="hi2">aan>ble mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, is an class="hi2">aan> belief than class="hi2">aan>t it deserves to be punished. Evan class="hi2">aan>luan class="hi2">aan>ting than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll mistan class="hi2">aan>kes Can class="hi2">Aan>N'T be corrected, due to severity or consequences, is still an class="hi2">aan> further mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, which justifies punishment. Oops sorry, your mistan class="hi2">aan>ke wan class="hi2">aan>s TOO BIG, so it's overflowed into sin territory, so now we're going to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck you an class="hi2">aan>nd tan class="hi2">aan>ke something from you so than class="hi2">aan>t you suffer, to "an class="hi2">aan>tone for it". Punishment then becomes an class="hi2">aan>tonement.
Yet even murder is JUST an class="hi2">Aan> MISTan class="hi2">Aan>KE, an class="hi2">aan>nd through miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>ll the consequences of than class="hi2">aan>t wrong decision can class="hi2">aan>n be undone by the holy spirit.

Whan class="hi2">aan>t if someone else buys you instean class="hi2">aan>d of you?!

There an class="hi2">aan>re 75 trillion cells in the body. Man class="hi2">aan>ny of those cells work independently.

There's independent blood cells swirling an class="hi2">aan>round can class="hi2">aan>rrying oxygen to the organ class="hi2">aan>ns, just free-fan class="hi2">aan>lling through the blood supply.
Mind is not rean class="hi2">aan>lly 'controlling' an class="hi2">aan>ll these things.

It's rean class="hi2">aan>lly quite an class="hi2">aan>n illusion than class="hi2">aan>t the whole thing an class="hi2">aan>dds up to "an class="hi2">aan> body".
It's more of an class="hi2">aan> city than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>n individuan class="hi2">aan>l thing. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you're not one of those tiny little pieces, an class="hi2">aan>ny more than class="hi2">aan>n you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll of the pieces. The more you think an class="hi2">aan>bout it the more ridiculous it seems to suggest you can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan> body, or even pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">aan> body, an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. So then the question is, whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>re you if you an class="hi2">aan>re non-physican class="hi2">aan>l? an class="hi2">Aan>nd the only an class="hi2">aan>nswer can class="hi2">aan>n be, than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re spirit.

The making of a separated self

But we DID han class="hi2">aan>ve the tiny man class="hi2">aan>d idean class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd enter into drean class="hi2">aan>ming.
"The Sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion Han class="hi2">Aan>S occurred. To deny this is merely to misuse denian class="hi2">aan>l.

In hean class="hi2">aan>ven, God thinks hologran class="hi2">aan>phican class="hi2">aan>lly. The whole, which God is, crean class="hi2">aan>tes. an class="hi2">Aan>nything he crean class="hi2">aan>tes must be like himself. Therefore his sons/crean class="hi2">aan>tions must an class="hi2">aan>lso be completely whole. To be whole, an class="hi2">aan>nd given God is everything, they must shan class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll of God. So now you han class="hi2">aan>ve pan class="hi2">aan>rts, which an class="hi2">aan>re wholes in an class="hi2">aan>nd of themselves, which an class="hi2">aan>lso shan class="hi2">aan>re with an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re joined with the whole in "oneness". an class="hi2">Aan>ll the crean class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>re of like kind, whole like God. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lso the sons of God who an class="hi2">aan>re wholes an class="hi2">aan>lso crean class="hi2">aan>te whole children.
"You han class="hi2">aan>d everything when you were crean class="hi2">aan>ted, just an class="hi2">aan>s everyone did."
"The recognition of the pan class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>s whole, an class="hi2">aan>nd of the whole in every pan class="hi2">aan>rt, is perfectly nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l. For it is the wan class="hi2">aan>y GOD thinks, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l to Him, IS nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l to you."
"The soul is the idean class="hi2">aan> of self fullness."
"The soul han class="hi2">aan>s not only been crean class="hi2">aan>ted perfect it han class="hi2">aan>s been fully crean class="hi2">aan>ted. There is no emptiness (unwholeness) in it."
So we han class="hi2">aan>ve this whole, which crean class="hi2">aan>tes more wholes, which an class="hi2">aan>re whole an class="hi2">aan>s individuan class="hi2">aan>l beings an class="hi2">aan>nd who an class="hi2">aan>lso shan class="hi2">aan>re the whole with an class="hi2">aan>ll other wholes.
"God who encompan class="hi2">aan>sses an class="hi2">aan>ll being (is the whole) nevertheless crean class="hi2">aan>ted sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te (distinct pan class="hi2">aan>rts within the whole) beings who han class="hi2">aan>ve everything (the whole) individuan class="hi2">aan>lly (an class="hi2">aan>s whole sons/beings) an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>nt to shan class="hi2">aan>re it (shan class="hi2">aan>ring is fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>l to rean class="hi2">aan>lity, true shan class="hi2">aan>ring is oneness) to increan class="hi2">aan>se their joy."
The pan class="hi2">aan>rt where the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion comes in is, where an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt, which is an class="hi2">aan> whole joined to the whole, an class="hi2">aan>ttempts to disconnect itself from shan class="hi2">aan>ring the whole. It tries to cut itself off from the whole of God an class="hi2">aan>nd from its brothers than class="hi2">aan>t were previously shan class="hi2">aan>ring everything with it.
"Everything the ego perceives is an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te whole, without the relan class="hi2">aan>tionships than class="hi2">aan>t imply BEING."
So an class="hi2">aan> son of God puts an class="hi2">aan> fence an class="hi2">aan>round whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to be himself, the "pan class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> whole" individuan class="hi2">aan>l self, an class="hi2">aan>nd tries to isolan class="hi2">aan>te it from the shan class="hi2">aan>ring/communican class="hi2">aan>ting-with portion of itself. It tries to "become sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted" from shan class="hi2">aan>ring with an class="hi2">aan>nyone or an class="hi2">aan>nything. This turns it into an class="hi2">aan> "pan class="hi2">aan>rt which is not shan class="hi2">aan>ring". Which is the idean class="hi2">aan> of selfishness.
"The ego is the idean class="hi2">aan> of selfishness."
Han class="hi2">aan>ving become "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted off" ie isolan class="hi2">aan>ted from shan class="hi2">aan>ring with the fan class="hi2">aan>mily, we an class="hi2">aan>re now "the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted ones" an class="hi2">aan>nd we han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted self". But this doesn't mean class="hi2">aan>n we invented an class="hi2">aan> self an class="hi2">aan>t this point, it just mean class="hi2">aan>ns we took our self an class="hi2">aan>nd imprisoned it in an class="hi2">aan> body concept.
"The body is clean class="hi2">aan>rly an class="hi2">aan> device for sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion."
"The body is an class="hi2">aan> fence the Son of God iman class="hi2">aan>gines he han class="hi2">aan>s built to sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te pan class="hi2">aan>rts of his Self from other pan class="hi2">aan>rts. It is within this fence he thinks he lives, to die an class="hi2">aan>s it decan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>nd crumbles. For within this fence he thinks than class="hi2">aan>t he is san class="hi2">aan>fe from love (shan class="hi2">aan>red wholeness)."
By imposing upon ourselves idean class="hi2">aan>s of "not shan class="hi2">aan>ring with the whole", we necessan class="hi2">aan>rily shut out some portion of our self which wan class="hi2">aan>s shan class="hi2">aan>red with the whole. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t now mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re seeing an class="hi2">aan>nd experiencing ourselves an class="hi2">aan>s "pan class="hi2">aan>rtly myself", or an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt which han class="hi2">aan>s no wholeness. This "pan class="hi2">aan>rtian class="hi2">aan>l self" is hemmed in by illusions of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd it confuses itself with these illusions an class="hi2">aan>nd believes they an class="hi2">aan>re true of it, thus defining it. This produces "the ego" in the mind, which is ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> belief by an class="hi2">aan> fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>lly whole/joined entity than class="hi2">aan>t it is not whole/joined. It's self denian class="hi2">aan>l. The ego is the idean class="hi2">aan> of whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re not, which is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to destroy your whole self, which lean class="hi2">aan>ds to dean class="hi2">aan>th.
"The body is the mean class="hi2">aan>ns by which God's Son returns to san class="hi2">aan>nity. Though it wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de to fence him into hell without escan class="hi2">aan>pe, yet han class="hi2">aan>s the goan class="hi2">aan>l of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven been exchan class="hi2">aan>nged for the pursuit of hell. The Son of God extends his han class="hi2">aan>nd to rean class="hi2">aan>ch his brother, an class="hi2">aan>nd to help him wan class="hi2">aan>lk an class="hi2">aan>long the roan class="hi2">aan>d with him. Now is the body holy. Now it serves to hean class="hi2">aan>l the mind than class="hi2">aan>t it wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de to kill."
To an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken we han class="hi2">aan>ve to undo the illusions of imprisonment by not believing in them, opening an class="hi2">aan>nd expan class="hi2">aan>nding our sense of identity to an class="hi2">aan>lign our mind with our soul, reconnect with God an class="hi2">aan>nd the sonship through totan class="hi2">aan>l shan class="hi2">aan>ring (holy relan class="hi2">aan>tionship), an class="hi2">aan>nd thereby disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r the egoic selfish idean class="hi2">aan> of being "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted off". Thus we regan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd re-inherit our inheritan class="hi2">aan>nce from God, reclan class="hi2">aan>im our identity an class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rt of Christ, an class="hi2">aan>nd resume our position in the sonship.

Awakening is a shift in identity

In your whole mind, there is an class="hi2">aan> split mind. It's kind of an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>rtifician class="hi2">aan>l mind. It's man class="hi2">aan>de of illusions.

This split mind comprises two pan class="hi2">aan>rts. One of the pan class="hi2">aan>rts you an class="hi2">aan>re conscious of an class="hi2">aan>nd you think is your entire self. You've identified with it.
The other pan class="hi2">aan>rt you an class="hi2">aan>re mostly unconscious of, han class="hi2">aan>ving shut it out an class="hi2">aan>nd pushed it out of an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness. You think than class="hi2">aan>t pan class="hi2">aan>rt is not yourself. You do not recognize it an class="hi2">aan>s you. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you project it onto/an class="hi2">aan>s 'others' to disown it.
The illusion is man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>ined so long an class="hi2">aan>s you an class="hi2">aan>re convinced than class="hi2">aan>t these two pan class="hi2">aan>rts an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te, different, unrelan class="hi2">aan>ted, an class="hi2">aan>nd not one self.

When you do not rean class="hi2">aan>lize the two selves an class="hi2">aan>re pan class="hi2">aan>rt of one self, you an class="hi2">aan>re inside the illusion. You've bought into it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you've identified with one pan class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>s your 'self'.

Those illusions include an class="hi2">aan>ny idean class="hi2">aan> of victimhood or victimizan class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>ny idean class="hi2">aan> of denian class="hi2">aan>l or blan class="hi2">aan>me or scan class="hi2">aan>pegoan class="hi2">aan>ting, an class="hi2">aan>ny irresponsibility or disowning of responsibility, an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y in which you reject or judge or an class="hi2">aan>ban class="hi2">aan>ndon yourself, etc. an class="hi2">Aan>ll forms of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of these an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck idean class="hi2">aan>s must be questioned.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t then han class="hi2">aan>ppens is you rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t the 'other' than class="hi2">aan>t you thought wan class="hi2">aan>s not you, IS an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of you. an class="hi2">Aan>nything you an class="hi2">aan>re experiencing IS chosen by you. an class="hi2">Aan>nd therefore, since you an class="hi2">aan>re the 'other' an class="hi2">aan>s well an class="hi2">aan>s the 'self', you han class="hi2">aan>ve been doing an class="hi2">aan>ll of these an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cks to yourself. This is the key to san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion/an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening.
You han class="hi2">aan>ve to get to where you can class="hi2">aan>n see than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re plan class="hi2">aan>ying both sides of the experience. You an class="hi2">aan>re both the victim an class="hi2">aan>nd the victimizer. You an class="hi2">aan>re both the an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cker an class="hi2">aan>nd the an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked. You an class="hi2">aan>re both the person running an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>nd the person chan class="hi2">aan>sing.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd then you will see than class="hi2">aan>t both of these 'identities' both han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> story. One of them (personan class="hi2">aan>) han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> sob-story an class="hi2">aan>bout how it's just trying to be good an class="hi2">aan>nd how the other (shan class="hi2">aan>dow) keeps an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the shan class="hi2">aan>dow han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> story an class="hi2">aan>bout how it's got nothing to do with the personan class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>nts to destroy its fan class="hi2">aan>ke iman class="hi2">aan>ge. You need to look an class="hi2">aan>t both stories an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lize, both stories an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>n illusion. The entire purpose of the notion than class="hi2">aan>t these two identities an class="hi2">aan>re 'sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te' is to convince you than class="hi2">aan>t your Self - your identity - does not encompan class="hi2">aan>ss both of them.
You an class="hi2">aan>re both of the pan class="hi2">aan>rts of the split mind. Both of the fan class="hi2">aan>lse identities an class="hi2">aan>re within you. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is where you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>han class="hi2">aan> moment of an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening. If both of these selves an class="hi2">aan>re within you, an class="hi2">aan>nd if you an class="hi2">aan>re literan class="hi2">aan>lly doing stuff to your 'self' ie you an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>king the shan class="hi2">aan>dow self do stuff to the personan class="hi2">aan> self an class="hi2">aan>nd vice versan class="hi2">aan>, then you will rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t it is an class="hi2">aan>n ILLUSION than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re two sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te identities. They an class="hi2">aan>re not sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te selves. They an class="hi2">aan>re pan class="hi2">aan>rt of your ONE self.
Once your sense of self encompan class="hi2">aan>sses an class="hi2">aan>nd is responsible for both of them, the illusion an class="hi2">aan>nd story of ean class="hi2">aan>ch will be blown. You will see through it an class="hi2">aan>nd recognize it is an class="hi2">aan> deception. They're not rean class="hi2">aan>lly sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te enemies an class="hi2">aan>fter an class="hi2">aan>ll, they're both you! an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns you see the san class="hi2">aan>meness an class="hi2">aan>nd oneness an class="hi2">aan>nd unity of your identity. Your one self, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n your duan class="hi2">aan>listic selves. an class="hi2">Aan>nd overlooking (forgiving) these illusions of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion lean class="hi2">aan>ds you directly to seeing your singulan class="hi2">aan>rity, your wholeness. The oneness - singleness - of your identity. This is where you an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken.
You an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ke to an class="hi2">aan> sense of self which encompan class="hi2">aan>sses an class="hi2">aan>ll of the pan class="hi2">aan>rts than class="hi2">aan>t you used to think were sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te selves. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you therefore tran class="hi2">aan>nscend an class="hi2">aan>ll of those sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te selves. You tran class="hi2">aan>nscend the personan class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd the shan class="hi2">aan>dow. You see through the illusion than class="hi2">aan>t you were 'only' one sman class="hi2">aan>ll pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the contents of your mind - the illusion than class="hi2">aan>t you were the construct of an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te portion of mind (e.g. intellect). Seeing the oneness of the two becoming one, unifies you an class="hi2">aan>nd revean class="hi2">aan>ls to you the true self.
You an class="hi2">aan>re whole, you an class="hi2">aan>re inclusive, you an class="hi2">aan>re unified, you an class="hi2">aan>re one self, you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan> split mind, you an class="hi2">aan>re not multiple personan class="hi2">aan>lities, you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>r with your own self, you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking yourself, you an class="hi2">aan>re singulan class="hi2">aan>r, you an class="hi2">aan>re 'individuan class="hi2">aan>l' not multiplican class="hi2">aan>tive, you an class="hi2">aan>re innocent an class="hi2">aan>nd holy.

"The world wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck on God."
an class="hi2">Aan>ll of its forms, an class="hi2">aan>ll events, an class="hi2">aan>ll occurrences, every interan class="hi2">aan>ction an class="hi2">aan>nd movement, is an class="hi2">aan>ll pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">aan> shifting picture of chan class="hi2">aan>nge, in which every possible unrean class="hi2">aan>lity except perman class="hi2">aan>nent perfection is depicted. Every can class="hi2">aan>r cran class="hi2">aan>sh, every disean class="hi2">aan>se, every murderous wan class="hi2">aan>r, every pan class="hi2">aan>in, every destructive han class="hi2">aan>bit, every unhan class="hi2">aan>ppiness, an class="hi2">aan>ll the tean class="hi2">aan>rs, short an class="hi2">aan>nd long term dean class="hi2">aan>th, it's an class="hi2">aan>ll designed on purpose to show you an class="hi2">aan> picture of crucifixion.
Crucifixion is an class="hi2">aan>nother word for dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd this is an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m of dean class="hi2">aan>th. an class="hi2">Aan>nd being an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of dean class="hi2">aan>th, with stories of dean class="hi2">aan>th running through it, it does not depict life an class="hi2">aan>nd is not can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of doing so.
"Whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>nnot be seen nor pictured."
"Nothing so blinding an class="hi2">aan>s perception of form."
So here you an class="hi2">aan>re, in your human class="hi2">aan>n drean class="hi2">aan>m body, looking out upon whan class="hi2">aan>t seems to be an class="hi2">aan> world, which you an class="hi2">aan>re blinded by. The body wan class="hi2">aan>s deliberan class="hi2">aan>tely designed to use its own senses to an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to self-prove its own existence an class="hi2">aan>nd the existence of other bodies. Its eyesight is blocked by the surfan class="hi2">aan>ce of sin (flesh, man class="hi2">aan>tter) so than class="hi2">aan>t by seeing it you do not see pan class="hi2">aan>st it to the light of truth.
"You can class="hi2">aan>nnot behold the world an class="hi2">aan>nd know God."
"Theirs (body's eyes) is indeed an class="hi2">aan> stran class="hi2">aan>nge perception, for they can class="hi2">aan>n see only illusions, unan class="hi2">aan>ble to look beyond the gran class="hi2">aan>nite block of sin, an class="hi2">aan>nd stopping an class="hi2">aan>t the outside form of nothing."
an class="hi2">Aan>nd so, every dan class="hi2">aan>y, you wan class="hi2">aan>ke up, an class="hi2">aan>nd you see this world - the hell you man class="hi2">aan>de. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in it, things go wrong, an class="hi2">aan>ll the time. You see someone you love in pan class="hi2">aan>in or suffering sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>r. You see an class="hi2">aan>niman class="hi2">aan>ls being an class="hi2">aan>bused. You see wan class="hi2">aan>rs wan class="hi2">aan>ging on foreign continents. You try not to drive your drean class="hi2">aan>m can class="hi2">aan>r over the roan class="hi2">aan>d kill. You see the dean class="hi2">aan>d deer on the side of the street. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the whole thing is one big pile of torture an class="hi2">aan>nd terror.
The thing is, just the mere fan class="hi2">aan>ct of "fean class="hi2">aan>sting your eyes" upon an class="hi2">aan>ny of this worlds contents, immedian class="hi2">aan>tely instills fean class="hi2">aan>r. Just the mere an class="hi2">aan>ct of seeing it an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, mean class="hi2">aan>ns christ vision han class="hi2">aan>s become blocked an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re now losing sight of the truth. Illusions of an class="hi2">aan> world rise before your sight, clan class="hi2">aan>imed an class="hi2">aan>s true an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>l by the body's senses. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now the world seems rean class="hi2">aan>l to you. People seem to be suffering.
Things seems to be going wrong. There is murder an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th on the news. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if than class="hi2">aan>t is true, if you see it, if it han class="hi2">aan>s become rean class="hi2">aan>l to you, if you an class="hi2">aan>re experiencing it an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, it is becan class="hi2">aan>use you now believe it is rean class="hi2">aan>lity. an class="hi2">Aan>nd by virtue of equan class="hi2">aan>ting this world with rean class="hi2">aan>lity, you MUST now be horrified an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id, becan class="hi2">aan>use if suffering is rean class="hi2">aan>lity, there is no wan class="hi2">aan>y to exist an class="hi2">aan>nywhere in rean class="hi2">aan>lity without suffering.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd if pan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd misery an class="hi2">aan>re true, there is no wan class="hi2">aan>y to exist in truth without pan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd misery. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in this there is no hope an class="hi2">aan>nd no light an class="hi2">aan>nd no san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion, becan class="hi2">aan>use if rean class="hi2">aan>lity is now hell, there is no hean class="hi2">aan>ven. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll this occurs in an class="hi2">aan> split second just merely by "sensing" this world. Just merely by seeing someone wan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> cripple. Just merely receiving signan class="hi2">aan>ls than class="hi2">aan>t someone is crying in pan class="hi2">aan>in. Just merely witnessing bodies moving an class="hi2">aan>round. This is enough to produce an class="hi2">aan>n ego rean class="hi2">aan>ction of terror.
The instan class="hi2">aan>nt you believe, an class="hi2">aan>re deceived by, witness an class="hi2">aan>s true, an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>il to overlook this ENTIRE world, this picture of crucifixion an class="hi2">aan>nd lies, your mind MUST now equan class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t rean class="hi2">aan>lity is han class="hi2">aan>rmful. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this will instill an class="hi2">aan> sense of being an class="hi2">aan>t the effect of han class="hi2">aan>rm. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this will incite fean class="hi2">aan>r. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now your mind will spring into an class="hi2">aan>ction with "why is this han class="hi2">aan>ppening" "how can class="hi2">aan>n I fix this" "how can class="hi2">aan>n I an class="hi2">aan>void this" "whan class="hi2">aan>t's gone wrong" "whan class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>used it". an class="hi2">Aan>ll ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the belief than class="hi2">aan>t IT IS Han class="hi2">Aan>PPENING an class="hi2">Aan>T an class="hi2">Aan>LL.
an class="hi2">Aan>t this point we han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy fan class="hi2">aan>llen for the ego's tran class="hi2">aan>p. The instan class="hi2">aan>nt we an class="hi2">aan>re deceived by the world, tempted to believe "it's han class="hi2">aan>ppening" or "there is an class="hi2">aan> world", we've an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy slipped on the slope an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re now descending into ego responses. an class="hi2">Aan>nd our entire struggle now becomes one of trying to escan class="hi2">aan>pe, while fan class="hi2">aan>lling ever deeper into an class="hi2">aan> pit. With the wan class="hi2">aan>lls of the world closing in. an class="hi2">Aan>nd no man class="hi2">aan>tter whan class="hi2">aan>t we do, WITHIN than class="hi2">aan>t kind of mindset, it does not bring pean class="hi2">aan>ce. Becan class="hi2">aan>use now we're in the desert where there is no life or love, an class="hi2">aan>nd we need to lean class="hi2">aan>ve.
It's like, we're being bomban class="hi2">aan>rded night an class="hi2">aan>nd dan class="hi2">aan>y with visions of hell. an class="hi2">Aan> world of lies. Where not one single thing is true. Where the whole world is an class="hi2">aan> temptan class="hi2">aan>tion to buy into an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of an class="hi2">aan> world, an class="hi2">aan>s if it's rean class="hi2">aan>lly here. an class="hi2">Aan>s if events an class="hi2">aan>re han class="hi2">aan>ppening. an class="hi2">Aan>s if things an class="hi2">aan>re being threan class="hi2">aan>tened. It's an class="hi2">aan> nightman class="hi2">aan>re to believe this world is han class="hi2">aan>ppening. It's an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m of dean class="hi2">aan>th, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll drean class="hi2">aan>ms an class="hi2">aan>re of dean class="hi2">aan>th. an class="hi2">Aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m of life is still an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m of dean class="hi2">aan>th, becan class="hi2">aan>use life isn't an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m.
"Dean class="hi2">aan>th is the centran class="hi2">aan>l drean class="hi2">aan>m from which an class="hi2">aan>ll illusions stem."
So if there is someone in pan class="hi2">aan>in, if someone is suffering, an class="hi2">aan>nd you see it or hean class="hi2">aan>r it or sense it, an class="hi2">aan>nd you tan class="hi2">aan>ke this to mean class="hi2">aan>n "its han class="hi2">aan>ppening", an class="hi2">aan>nd you believe than class="hi2">aan>t, than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>lone mean class="hi2">aan>ns you an class="hi2">aan>re now tempted by the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re not forgiving. Becan class="hi2">aan>use "to forgive is to OVERLOOK". an class="hi2">Aan>nd "fan class="hi2">aan>lling for the world" or "gan class="hi2">aan>ining the whole world" can class="hi2">aan>uses you to lose your soul.
Fan class="hi2">aan>iling to recognize this is JUST an class="hi2">aan>n illusion, NOT something "rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening", NOT something to rean class="hi2">aan>ct to, is an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ilure to be in christ vision. It's an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ilure to SEE rean class="hi2">aan>lity. The screeching sounds of the ego han class="hi2">aan>ve blotted out the rean class="hi2">aan>l world. Not only is form blinding, it's *extremely* blinding, an class="hi2">aan>nd every single thing than class="hi2">aan>t this picture of crucifixion DOES or SHOWS, is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion. an class="hi2">Aan> lie. an class="hi2">Aan> not truth. an class="hi2">Aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse witness. an class="hi2">Aan> testimony of dean class="hi2">aan>th. an class="hi2">Aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to prove than class="hi2">aan>t sin is rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th is truth.
If you wan class="hi2">aan>tch yourself you'll see this han class="hi2">aan>ppen. The moment you "experience" an class="hi2">aan>nything in this world, where you see something seem to go wrong, wan class="hi2">aan>tch how your mind instan class="hi2">aan>ntly rean class="hi2">aan>cts with ego. Wan class="hi2">aan>tch how the fean class="hi2">aan>r increan class="hi2">aan>ses ran class="hi2">aan>pidly. Notice how you immedian class="hi2">aan>tely slip into the context of "I an class="hi2">aan>ccept it is han class="hi2">aan>ppening, but whan class="hi2">aan>t is can class="hi2">aan>using it"? ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n rean class="hi2">aan>lizing, or questioning, is this even han class="hi2">aan>ppening? If I believe whan class="hi2">aan>t my senses an class="hi2">aan>re telling me an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, I an class="hi2">aan>m deceived.
"Whan class="hi2">aan>tever you an class="hi2">aan>ccept INTO your mind han class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>lity for you."
If I just fan class="hi2">aan>ll into "its han class="hi2">aan>ppening" mode, I will an class="hi2">aan>utoman class="hi2">aan>tican class="hi2">aan>lly stan class="hi2">aan>rt han class="hi2">aan>ving thoughts like "why is this han class="hi2">aan>ppening", "whan class="hi2">aan>t's man class="hi2">aan>king this han class="hi2">aan>ppen", "how can class="hi2">aan>n I stop this han class="hi2">aan>ppening". Which is an class="hi2">aan>ll ego. We then turn into fixers, man class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>gers, controllers, resisters, trying to chan class="hi2">aan>nge whan class="hi2">aan>t we believe is han class="hi2">aan>ppening. Trying to chan class="hi2">aan>nge an class="hi2">aan>n illusion ban class="hi2">aan>sed on believing than class="hi2">aan>t the illusion is rean class="hi2">aan>l. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is not forgiveness an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.
Forgiveness is profound. It literan class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t this world IS NOT HERE. It requires the recognition an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>cceptan class="hi2">aan>nce than class="hi2">aan>t THERE IS NO WORLD. It entan class="hi2">aan>ils seeing Pan class="hi2">Aan>ST this world entirely, not fan class="hi2">aan>lling for an class="hi2">Aan>NYTHING YOU SEE. Not being deceived by the powerful tempting illusions of suffering. To literan class="hi2">aan>lly completely IGNORE extremely loud shrieks of suffering an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>r presented an class="hi2">aan>s physican class="hi2">aan>l proof. To look pan class="hi2">aan>st the world an class="hi2">aan>s if it's not there. To not believe for an class="hi2">aan>n instan class="hi2">aan>nt than class="hi2">aan>t someone's an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nce of sickness is REan class="hi2">Aan>L or TRUE or Han class="hi2">Aan>PPENING. To rean class="hi2">aan>lize your brother literan class="hi2">aan>lly did not do an class="hi2">aan>nything than class="hi2">aan>t he an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>red to do, an class="hi2">aan>nd there an class="hi2">aan>re no rean class="hi2">aan>l events here.
"an class="hi2">Aan>ll events an class="hi2">aan>re nowhere."
"Forgiveness recognizes than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t you think your brother did Han class="hi2">Aan>S NOT OCCURRED."
Not just you thinking, well, yes he did something, he moved, he writhed, he suffered, he spoke, whan class="hi2">aan>tever... but than class="hi2">aan>t this wan class="hi2">aan>sn't rean class="hi2">aan>l. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns being willing to pan class="hi2">aan>y NO an class="hi2">Aan>TTENTION to an class="hi2">aan>ny of than class="hi2">aan>t, to ignore those signan class="hi2">aan>ls, to not even TRUST your body senses, an class="hi2">aan>nd to instean class="hi2">aan>d fixan class="hi2">aan>te on the light of truth beyond the body. Beyond man class="hi2">aan>tter. Beyond an class="hi2">aan>ll physican class="hi2">aan>l objects an class="hi2">aan>nd plan class="hi2">aan>nets. Beyond the universe. an class="hi2">Aan> vision in the light so bright than class="hi2">aan>t it completely looks Pan class="hi2">Aan>ST (overlooks) an class="hi2">aan>nd pran class="hi2">aan>ctican class="hi2">aan>lly ignores everything in the world.
"Christ's vision han class="hi2">aan>s one lan class="hi2">aan>w. It does not look upon an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>nd mistan class="hi2">aan>ke it for the Son whom God crean class="hi2">aan>ted. It beholds an class="hi2">aan> light beyond the body; an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> beyond whan class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n be touched, an class="hi2">aan> purity undimmed by errors, pitiful mistan class="hi2">aan>kes, an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>rful thoughts of guilt from drean class="hi2">aan>ms of sin. It sees no sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it looks on everyone, on every circumstan class="hi2">aan>nce, an class="hi2">aan>ll han class="hi2">aan>ppenings an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll events, without the slightest fan class="hi2">aan>ding of the light it sees."
an class="hi2">Aan>nything the body does is not true. It's an class="hi2">aan>n extran class="hi2">aan>ordinan class="hi2">aan>ry picture of lies.
"The body is the instrument the mind man class="hi2">aan>de in its striving to deceive itself."
We han class="hi2">aan>ve to lean class="hi2">aan>rn, this is an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>lly profound lesson. This whole world wan class="hi2">aan>s designed to deceive us. We han class="hi2">aan>ve to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to NOT believe its lies an class="hi2">aan>nd NOT tan class="hi2">aan>ke its an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces an class="hi2">aan>s literan class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
"The world wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de than class="hi2">aan>t problems could not BE escan class="hi2">aan>ped."
"The world wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck on God.

A world of separate individuals

If you an class="hi2">aan>re open an class="hi2">aan>nd whole an class="hi2">aan>nd unified an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> single an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, than class="hi2">aan>t is who you an class="hi2">aan>re. Than class="hi2">aan>t is your identity.
If you close down an class="hi2">aan>nd put yourself into an class="hi2">aan> box, an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ting yourself with some 'pan class="hi2">aan>rt' of the environment than class="hi2">aan>t is different or sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from other pan class="hi2">aan>rts, your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness becomes blocked. You an class="hi2">aan>re no longer an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of whan class="hi2">aan>t is outside the box, so you think than class="hi2">aan>t your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness is limited TO the box, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore this is the extent of who you an class="hi2">aan>re. Now you equan class="hi2">aan>te yourself with the box an class="hi2">aan>nd think you an class="hi2">aan>re it.
So you come into this body an class="hi2">aan>nd you think than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re this body, only this body, an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing else. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t's fan class="hi2">aan>irly nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l given you han class="hi2">aan>ve fan class="hi2">aan>llen for the ILLUSION than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re only this self an class="hi2">aan>nd not an class="hi2">aan>ny other selves. The body seems to suggest than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from your brother, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t who you an class="hi2">aan>re is NOT them in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y.
When you then look out an class="hi2">aan>t the world you see an class="hi2">aan> world of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te individuan class="hi2">aan>ls, where you do not see yourself in them. You see the form of their body an class="hi2">aan>nd you think than class="hi2">aan>t is whan class="hi2">aan>t defines their identity, becan class="hi2">aan>use you're focussing on whan class="hi2">aan>t is different an class="hi2">aan>nd unique an class="hi2">aan>bout them.
But these differences an class="hi2">aan>nd uniquenesses an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly whan class="hi2">aan>t keep people sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t reinforces the ILLUSION than class="hi2">aan>t they, an class="hi2">aan>nd you, an class="hi2">aan>re not whole, an class="hi2">aan>nd not one.
This isn't your true identity, or theirs.
When you tan class="hi2">aan>ke the lid off the box an class="hi2">aan>nd stop believing the illusions than class="hi2">aan>t suggest you an class="hi2">aan>re not other people, than class="hi2">aan>t there is no oneness an class="hi2">aan>nywhere, which is whan class="hi2">aan>t this entire physican class="hi2">aan>l world wan class="hi2">aan>s set up to try to an class="hi2">aan>chieve, you would become an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of an class="hi2">aan> grean class="hi2">aan>ter sense of self. This sense of self would an class="hi2">aan>ccompan class="hi2">aan>ny the an class="hi2">aan>mount of an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RENESS than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve than class="hi2">aan>t there is ONE IDENTITY span class="hi2">aan>nning multiple individuan class="hi2">aan>ls.
Whan class="hi2">aan>tever size box you an class="hi2">aan>re inside of, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of, than class="hi2">aan>t dictan class="hi2">aan>tes the limits an class="hi2">aan>nd confines of your identity. So if you think you an class="hi2">aan>re your body, you an class="hi2">aan>re very limited indeed. You will simply not han class="hi2">aan>ve the an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re everyone else. Or than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God. an class="hi2">Aan>nd since than class="hi2">aan>t oneness is outside your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, you will not experience it an class="hi2">aan>s your SELF, an class="hi2">aan>nd will not believe it is rean class="hi2">aan>l.
Therefore, there is an class="hi2">aan> very intiman class="hi2">aan>te relan class="hi2">aan>tionship, an class="hi2">aan> literan class="hi2">aan>l connection, between whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RE of, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t your IDENTITY is.
If your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness is sman class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan> limited by differences, an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces an class="hi2">aan>nd forms, blinded by form, so too will your sense of identity shrink down to fit inside than class="hi2">aan>t definition. Those blocks to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, those obstan class="hi2">aan>cles to pean class="hi2">aan>ce, will shut out an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of 'lan class="hi2">aan>rger sphere' or grean class="hi2">aan>ter scope of an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness than class="hi2">aan>t you might experience, or an class="hi2">aan>ny sense of being joined to or shan class="hi2">aan>ring SELF with others.
But your sense of self rean class="hi2">aan>lly is derived from how INCLUSIVE your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness is. When it is very exclusive an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion-oriented, you will experience 'your self' an class="hi2">aan>s sman class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>nd fran class="hi2">aan>gile an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id. But when your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness becomes more inclusive, you will experience yourself an class="hi2">aan>s lan class="hi2">aan>rger, expan class="hi2">aan>nsive, joined, open an class="hi2">aan>nd united with others.
The ultiman class="hi2">aan>te sense of self then will be when you come to no longer be deceived by an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces of form, no longer deceived by illusions of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccess an class="hi2">aan> shan class="hi2">aan>red unified consciousness than class="hi2">aan>t span class="hi2">aan>ns everyone an class="hi2">aan>nd is the san class="hi2">aan>me in everyone. The ONE SON OF GOD. The Christ consciousness. This IDENTITY an class="hi2">aan>s Christ is experienced an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result of the an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RENESS than class="hi2">aan>t there IS christ, than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness includes everyone an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t everyone is an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">aan>nd SHan class="hi2">Aan>RES this an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness.
So then you, an class="hi2">aan>s the an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of Christ, an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of oneness, of being the one Son of God, the single unified crean class="hi2">aan>tion, will be inclusive of an class="hi2">aan>ll seemingly sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted 'sons' in the brotherhood. This will literan class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>n, than class="hi2">aan>t everyone else IS YOU. Is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of this shan class="hi2">aan>red wholeness. Than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re literan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>ll one self.
This 'identity' than class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>ll self is therefore completely dependent upon WHan class="hi2">Aan>T it is than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of. The whole, or the pan class="hi2">aan>rt. Being an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re only of the pan class="hi2">aan>rt is whan class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>n ego identity becan class="hi2">aan>use it is limited an class="hi2">aan>nd blocked an class="hi2">aan>nd includes unconsciousness - an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck of an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness. Ignoran class="hi2">aan>nce. But you will still think of this - whan class="hi2">aan>tever the extent of your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness is - an class="hi2">aan>s your 'self'. Yet an class="hi2">aan>s your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness expan class="hi2">aan>nds so too is your 'self' expan class="hi2">aan>nding, letting go of the isolan class="hi2">aan>ted sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted ego self an class="hi2">aan>nd opening up to an class="hi2">aan> bigger, shan class="hi2">aan>red self than class="hi2">aan>t is the san class="hi2">aan>me for an class="hi2">aan>ll of us, in which we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll one fan class="hi2">aan>mily. Not just an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>mily of equan class="hi2">aan>l or sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tely an class="hi2">aan>t-pean class="hi2">aan>ce beings, but in fan class="hi2">aan>ct Fan class="hi2">Aan>R more unified than class="hi2">aan>n this - an class="hi2">aan> true fan class="hi2">aan>mily where we literan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">Aan>RE ean class="hi2">aan>ch other.
Eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly the brotherhood will unite in this oneness an class="hi2">aan>nd we will an class="hi2">aan>ll unify in the ONE SELF. One with God. Inclusive of an class="hi2">aan>ll.

Unconsciousness is a tricky bugger

It mean class="hi2">aan>ns there's something you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely no an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of. You can class="hi2">aan>n't see it, tan class="hi2">aan>ste it, smell it, touch it, hean class="hi2">aan>r it or sense it. It's an class="hi2">aan>s though it does not exist whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever. an class="hi2">Aan>nd since you plan class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan> lot of trust in your body's perceptuan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>bilities you conclude than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>tever is unconscious simply does not exist. Than class="hi2">aan>t's the whole point of han class="hi2">aan>ving man class="hi2">aan>de something unconscious in the first plan class="hi2">aan>ce.
For you, whan class="hi2">aan>t you consider san class="hi2">aan>nity, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t you consider to man class="hi2">aan>ke sense, an class="hi2">aan>nd who you think you an class="hi2">aan>re, an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll ban class="hi2">aan>sed on how much an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness you han class="hi2">aan>ve. You believe than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re fully an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re right now of everything there is to be an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of.
Your sense of identity is intiman class="hi2">aan>tely tied into this, becan class="hi2">aan>use the edges of your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of Self crean class="hi2">aan>tes an class="hi2">aan> sense of where you stop an class="hi2">aan>nd where otherness begins. an class="hi2">Aan>nything outside of your self seems to be not who you an class="hi2">aan>re.
The problem is than class="hi2">aan>t it's possible for there to be something so out of your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, so inan class="hi2">aan>ccessible to your senses, than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely no evidence of it an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely no wan class="hi2">aan>y to believe than class="hi2">aan>t it's there. It'd be like me telling you there's an class="hi2">aan> gian class="hi2">aan>nt pink monster dan class="hi2">aan>ncing outside your house, an class="hi2">aan>nd without you being an class="hi2">aan>ble to see it whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely no rean class="hi2">aan>son to believe me.
You do plan class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan> lot of trust in whan class="hi2">aan>t your body shows you an class="hi2">aan>nd if you can class="hi2">aan>nnot perceive something, you ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly will san class="hi2">aan>y, well.... than class="hi2">aan>t doesn't exist, it's not true. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if someone else is experiencing something than class="hi2">aan>t seems totan class="hi2">aan>lly unrean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd untrue for you, you will not believe them, an class="hi2">aan>nd dismiss it an class="hi2">aan>s fictionan class="hi2">aan>l nonsense.
But it is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly possible for there to be something than class="hi2">aan>t exists outside of your conscious an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness. It's an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly there, but you seem to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely no an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of it. This relan class="hi2">aan>tes not only to immense unconscious guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd unconscious sin, but an class="hi2">aan>lso to the presence of God. You han class="hi2">aan>ve man class="hi2">aan>de God unconscious to you, an class="hi2">aan>nd in being not an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of His presence you ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly believe than class="hi2">aan>t He does not exist.
While you an class="hi2">aan>re unconscious of God, or other stuff, it's possible for your mind to conceive of whan class="hi2">aan>t might be there, to develop trust than class="hi2">aan>t it is there, an class="hi2">aan>nd to utilize it in some wan class="hi2">aan>y or experience/witness its expressions, without you necessan class="hi2">aan>rily being an class="hi2">aan>ble to be fully an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of it, to understan class="hi2">aan>nd it, to directly experience it or to see it. Plan class="hi2">aan>cing some an class="hi2">aan>mount of belief in its existence, even if it is outside of an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ct of "fan class="hi2">aan>ith", ie trusting in something you believe is true in order to bridge the gan class="hi2">aan>p between your limited an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of grean class="hi2">aan>ter an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness which is temporan class="hi2">aan>rily hidden.
an class="hi2">Aan>s an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles san class="hi2">aan>ys: "The miran class="hi2">aan>cle is tan class="hi2">aan>ken first on fan class="hi2">aan>ith, becan class="hi2">aan>use to an class="hi2">aan>sk for it implies the mind han class="hi2">aan>s been man class="hi2">aan>de rean class="hi2">aan>dy to conceive of whan class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>nnot see an class="hi2">aan>nd does not understan class="hi2">aan>nd. Yet fan class="hi2">aan>ith will bring its witnesses to show than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t it rested on is rean class="hi2">aan>lly there. an class="hi2">Aan>nd thus the miran class="hi2">aan>cle will justify your fan class="hi2">aan>ith in it, an class="hi2">aan>nd show it rested on an class="hi2">aan> world more rean class="hi2">aan>l than class="hi2">aan>n whan class="hi2">aan>t you san class="hi2">aan>w before; an class="hi2">aan> world redeemed from whan class="hi2">aan>t you thought wan class="hi2">aan>s there."
an class="hi2">Aan>s Jesus is telling us, it is possible to han class="hi2">aan>ve fan class="hi2">aan>ith in God an class="hi2">aan>nd trust God's truth, to some extent, even if you're not fully experiencing Him yet. You might not be in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of revelan class="hi2">aan>tion, but miran class="hi2">aan>cles pan class="hi2">aan>ve the wan class="hi2">aan>y for revelan class="hi2">aan>tion. This an class="hi2">aan>lso mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t it is possible to receive the benefits or expressions of than class="hi2">aan>t love, even if it's coming from outside your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, an class="hi2">aan>nd to SEE (ie witness) its power an class="hi2">aan>nd effects in the form of miran class="hi2">aan>cles, even if you do not yet understan class="hi2">aan>nd it.
Such miran class="hi2">aan>cles don't require you to be fully an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of God. They only require you to trust an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore han class="hi2">aan>ve fan class="hi2">aan>ith than class="hi2">aan>t God is there to do His pan class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>nd fulfill His function an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll times, regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of your rean class="hi2">aan>diness or willingness, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll it tan class="hi2">aan>kes is an class="hi2">aan> LITTLE willingness from you to open the door an class="hi2">aan>nd let Him in. This includes the correction/hean class="hi2">aan>ling of your mind but it an class="hi2">aan>lso includes the expression of love an class="hi2">aan>s miran class="hi2">aan>cles of hean class="hi2">aan>ling an class="hi2">aan>nd other man class="hi2">aan>nifestan class="hi2">aan>tions, which can class="hi2">aan>n come an class="hi2">aan>bout through han class="hi2">aan>ving fan class="hi2">aan>ith/trust even if you an class="hi2">aan>re not yet an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of the whole of yourself an class="hi2">aan>s Christ.
an class="hi2">Aan>t some point we will cean class="hi2">aan>se to be unconscious an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore will cean class="hi2">aan>se to be limited. We will be more directly an class="hi2">aan>ble to express love an class="hi2">aan>nd use its power. Until then, we lean class="hi2">aan>rn to trust in an class="hi2">aan> power grean class="hi2">aan>ter than class="hi2">aan>n whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of, even if we can class="hi2">aan>n't see it, an class="hi2">aan>nd gran class="hi2">aan>duan class="hi2">aan>lly the gan class="hi2">aan>p between you an class="hi2">aan>nd it will diminish, it will revean class="hi2">aan>l itself more directly over time an class="hi2">aan>s love's presence, an class="hi2">aan>nd you will eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly be One with it, recognizing yourself in it.

If you don't know how an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>m works, I'll try to simplify it.

Those an class="hi2">aan>re not hologran class="hi2">aan>ms. They an class="hi2">aan>re just regulan class="hi2">aan>r projected iman class="hi2">aan>ges.
First consider an class="hi2">aan> photogran class="hi2">aan>ph. an class="hi2">Aan> photogran class="hi2">aan>ph contan class="hi2">aan>ins an class="hi2">aan> surfan class="hi2">aan>ce which han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> number of locan class="hi2">aan>tions on it. an class="hi2">Aan>t ean class="hi2">aan>ch locan class="hi2">aan>tion there is an class="hi2">aan> drop of color.

So when you move the 2D iman class="hi2">aan>ge in 3D, the iman class="hi2">aan>ge is still the san class="hi2">aan>me. Ean class="hi2">aan>ch pan class="hi2">aan>rt only contan class="hi2">aan>ins pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the iman class="hi2">aan>ge.
Hologran class="hi2">aan>ms an class="hi2">aan>re not like this.

So an class="hi2">aan>ll of the picture is encoded in one tiny an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan>, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>nother tiny an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan>, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>nother. The entire surfan class="hi2">aan>ce is covered with "copies" of the entire iman class="hi2">aan>ge. The WHOLE iman class="hi2">aan>ge, is in ean class="hi2">aan>ch pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the iman class="hi2">aan>ge.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t this an class="hi2">aan>llows, in terms of iman class="hi2">aan>ges, is than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n encode "multiple viewpoints" of an class="hi2">aan> 3D object, onto an class="hi2">aan> single 2D surfan class="hi2">aan>ce. When you then move an class="hi2">aan>nd tilt the surfan class="hi2">aan>ce, you an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly see an class="hi2">aan> DIFFERENT viewpoint. It's an class="hi2">aan>s if there an class="hi2">aan>re thousan class="hi2">aan>nds of iman class="hi2">aan>ges an class="hi2">aan>ll stored within one iman class="hi2">aan>ge, an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>t different an class="hi2">aan>ngles, man class="hi2">aan>king the hologran class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r to move in 3D.
This is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the hologran class="hi2">aan>phic principle than class="hi2">aan>t "the whole is in every pan class="hi2">aan>rt. an class="hi2">aan>nd every pan class="hi2">aan>rt is whole".
The whole of whan class="hi2">aan>tever wan class="hi2">aan>s the source object, is represented FULLY in Ean class="hi2">Aan>CH pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the second object. This an class="hi2">aan>lso produces an class="hi2">aan>n interesting scenan class="hi2">aan>rio in which, you can class="hi2">aan>n cut than class="hi2">aan>t surfan class="hi2">aan>ce in han class="hi2">aan>lf with scissors an class="hi2">aan>nd you don't an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly LOSE an class="hi2">aan>ny informan class="hi2">aan>tion, becan class="hi2">aan>use the WHOLE of the iman class="hi2">aan>ge is stored in the reman class="hi2">aan>ining pan class="hi2">aan>rts. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>n still see the "other sides" of the object an class="hi2">aan>s you move the surfan class="hi2">aan>ce, even if previously they were in the pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the iman class="hi2">aan>ge than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s cut off. (But than class="hi2">aan>t's not rean class="hi2">aan>lly relevan class="hi2">aan>nt to whan class="hi2">aan>t we're tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout here.)
Now. In hean class="hi2">aan>ven, God is whole. God is everything, everywhere, unlimited. So God's fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>l nan class="hi2">aan>ture is wholeness. He is the WHOLE of everything. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of it.
Then, God is an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tor. "God did not will to be an class="hi2">aan>lone". "Divine an class="hi2">aan>bstran class="hi2">aan>ction tan class="hi2">aan>kes joy in an class="hi2">aan>pplican class="hi2">aan>tion". "God is first can class="hi2">aan>use." Therefore, God crean class="hi2">aan>tes by extending himself. This form of crean class="hi2">aan>tion tan class="hi2">aan>kes whan class="hi2">aan>tever is IN God, an class="hi2">Aan>S God, an class="hi2">aan>nd plan class="hi2">aan>ces it into "an class="hi2">aan>nother". God crean class="hi2">aan>tes an class="hi2">aan> second being, or whan class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan> Son of God, or soul.
Since God is whole, God can class="hi2">aan>n only crean class="hi2">aan>te "wholly", an class="hi2">aan>nd when He crean class="hi2">aan>tes He FULLY crean class="hi2">aan>tes (wholly), an class="hi2">aan>nd gives EVERYTHING of Himself to his crean class="hi2">aan>tion. The WHOLE of God is extended to the Son. This results in an class="hi2">aan> situan class="hi2">aan>tion where the SON is WHOLLY crean class="hi2">aan>ted, is FULLY crean class="hi2">aan>ted, is WHOLE in an class="hi2">aan>nd of himself, Han class="hi2">Aan>S wholeness, an class="hi2">Aan>ND shan class="hi2">aan>res the whole of God with God. The Son is an class="hi2">aan> "stan class="hi2">aan>ndan class="hi2">aan>lone" entity but the Son is NOT CUT OFF from God - it is FUSED with God an class="hi2">aan>nd SHan class="hi2">Aan>RES whan class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s directly.
"The soul han class="hi2">aan>s not only been crean class="hi2">aan>ted perfect, it han class="hi2">aan>s been FULLY crean class="hi2">aan>ted. There is no lan class="hi2">aan>ck in it."
This relan class="hi2">aan>tionship between God an class="hi2">aan>nd His Son, is whan class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>ll INHERITan class="hi2">Aan>NCE. The son, inherits everything he is, from God. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct, God is IN the son. "You an class="hi2">aan>re forever host to God." The son is an class="hi2">aan>lso given God's freedom, an class="hi2">aan>nd given TOTan class="hi2">Aan>L freedom, an class="hi2">aan>nd so this estan class="hi2">aan>blishes the son an class="hi2">aan>s "free". Bound to God, in terms of oneness, but FREE "from God" in its own right, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n individuan class="hi2">aan>l being. an class="hi2">Aan>nd since God is the WHOLE of being, God HOSTS this Son WITHIN himself by SHan class="hi2">Aan>RING his wholeness with His Son. The Son is "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te", but an class="hi2">Aan>LSO joined.
"an class="hi2">Aan>ll loving crean class="hi2">aan>tion is freely given."
"God who encompan class="hi2">aan>sses an class="hi2">aan>ll being (the whole) nevertheless crean class="hi2">aan>ted sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te beings (free whole beings) who han class="hi2">aan>ve everything individuan class="hi2">aan>lly (shan class="hi2">aan>red with God) an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>nt to shan class="hi2">aan>re it (like whole beings do) to increan class="hi2">aan>se their joy."Now, SHan class="hi2">Aan>RING becomes the fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ttribute of an class="hi2">aan>ll things in hean class="hi2">aan>ven, becan class="hi2">aan>use God crean class="hi2">aan>tes vian class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan> process of SHan class="hi2">Aan>RING himself. "Nothing rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>n be increan class="hi2">aan>sed, except by shan class="hi2">aan>ring." God hosts us within His being. So we SHan class="hi2">Aan>RE whan class="hi2">aan>t God Han class="hi2">Aan>S. e.g. "To recognize than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll power is of God is to gan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>ll power."
an class="hi2">Aan> son of God, who is an class="hi2">aan> Pan class="hi2">Aan>RT of God, an class="hi2">aan>nd is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan> WHOLE, SHan class="hi2">Aan>RES an class="hi2">aan>ll of itself with God, INHERITS everything from God, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore hosts the whole of God. Being an class="hi2">aan> fully crean class="hi2">aan>ted free-willed being, this son of God is now estan class="hi2">aan>blished in an class="hi2">aan> position of CO-CREan class="hi2">Aan>TOR. This is becan class="hi2">aan>use God is an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tor, an class="hi2">aan>nd the Son INHERITS fan class="hi2">aan>therhood/crean class="hi2">aan>torship/an class="hi2">aan>uthorship. So the Son can class="hi2">aan>n now "do" whan class="hi2">aan>t the Fan class="hi2">aan>ther did.
"God crean class="hi2">aan>ted the Sonship. You were crean class="hi2">aan>ted to an class="hi2">aan>dd to the Sonship."

God does NOT stop an class="hi2">aan>t "only crean class="hi2">aan>ting one child." "God did not will to be an class="hi2">aan>lone, an class="hi2">aan>nd did not will than class="hi2">aan>t you be an class="hi2">aan>lone."

The God computer - programming a miracle

I wan class="hi2">aan>sn't intending for this post to be elan class="hi2">aan>boran class="hi2">aan>te but I LOVE how this an class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>logy unfolded to explan class="hi2">aan>in the body, sickness, dean class="hi2">aan>th, miran class="hi2">aan>cles, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening.....I think than class="hi2">aan>t I might even write an class="hi2">aan> whole book ban class="hi2">aan>sed on this an class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>logy an class="hi2">aan>lone, it's so clean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd exan class="hi2">aan>ct.... Than class="hi2">aan>nks to Holy Spirit for the nudges an class="hi2">aan>nd corrections.
...
Computers an class="hi2">aan>re stran class="hi2">aan>ngely similan class="hi2">aan>r in their following of rules an class="hi2">aan>s we an class="hi2">aan>re in our responsibility for choice. an class="hi2">Aan>nd similan class="hi2">aan>rly, our bodies do exan class="hi2">aan>ctly whan class="hi2">aan>t we tell them to an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing else.
an class="hi2">Aan> computer doesn't do an class="hi2">aan>nything whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever without an class="hi2">aan> decision being man class="hi2">aan>de. When an class="hi2">aan> decision is man class="hi2">aan>de, when the computer is told whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nt, it produces exan class="hi2">aan>ctly than class="hi2">aan>t result. The lan class="hi2">aan>nguan class="hi2">aan>ge used to tell it whan class="hi2">aan>t to do is an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely specific. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it only produces the exan class="hi2">aan>ct result than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>sked for. It is an class="hi2">aan>lmost an class="hi2">aan>nnoyingly specific in its requirement for precise instruction.
The computer doesn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly decide on its own to do an class="hi2">aan>nything else. It is very true to the progran class="hi2">aan>mmer's instructions. If it seems to be doing something else, some illusion of an class="hi2">aan> higher-level functioning han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>risen. It's rean class="hi2">aan>lly still just processing binan class="hi2">aan>ry dan class="hi2">aan>tan class="hi2">aan>, 1's an class="hi2">aan>nd 0s', yet produces whan class="hi2">aan>t looks to be much more sophistican class="hi2">aan>ted results. Iman class="hi2">aan>ges on an class="hi2">aan> screen, objects moving an class="hi2">aan>round, sounds han class="hi2">aan>ppening, it's an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>n ILLUSION.
When the computer seems to do something it wan class="hi2">aan>s not supposed to do, this is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly impossible. If there is an class="hi2">aan> bug in the softwan class="hi2">aan>re, the computer still does whan class="hi2">aan>t the bug tells it to do. It doesn't decide not to do bugs, an class="hi2">aan>nd it doesn't decide to do bugs on its own. It fan class="hi2">aan>ithfully follows instructions. Than class="hi2">aan>t's an class="hi2">aan>ll it can class="hi2">aan>n do. It han class="hi2">aan>s no rean class="hi2">aan>l intelligence. It is just an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>chine. You get out whan class="hi2">aan>t you put in.
The body is similan class="hi2">aan>r in than class="hi2">aan>t it is your fan class="hi2">aan>ithful man class="hi2">aan>chine, an class="hi2">aan>nd it literan class="hi2">aan>lly only does whan class="hi2">aan>t your mind tells it to do. It does not han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> will of its own. It does not invent bugs on its own. It doesn't man class="hi2">aan>lfunction on its own. It only follows the progran class="hi2">aan>m than class="hi2">aan>t is given to it. It is an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys 100% correct in can class="hi2">aan>rrying out orders. It does not complan class="hi2">aan>in or han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n opinion or man class="hi2">aan>ke judgement an class="hi2">aan>bout rightness or wrongness of the progran class="hi2">aan>m. It just EXECUTES.
It is an class="hi2">aan> device, than class="hi2">aan>t you use for van class="hi2">aan>rious purposes. Some of those purposes an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>licious an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result, they lean class="hi2">aan>d to the body seeming to produce man class="hi2">aan>licious stan class="hi2">aan>tes of being. But regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of these stan class="hi2">aan>tes looking like an class="hi2">aan> high-level sophistican class="hi2">aan>ted problem, it is still just the body following orders. In this wan class="hi2">aan>y, the body (like an class="hi2">aan> computer) is completely neutran class="hi2">aan>l. It is your servan class="hi2">aan>nt an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re the one operan class="hi2">aan>ting it.
This is an class="hi2">aan>lso exan class="hi2">aan>ctly the san class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>s the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t, an class="hi2">aan>s Jesus tells us in the Course, you an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys get exan class="hi2">aan>ctly whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>sk for, you only ever get whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>sk for, an class="hi2">aan>nd you never get an class="hi2">aan>nything than class="hi2">aan>t you do not an class="hi2">aan>sk for. Therefore whan class="hi2">aan>t you get an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens is 100% your responsibility. If the body seems to go wrong or do ban class="hi2">aan>d things, it is becan class="hi2">aan>use the progran class="hi2">aan>mmer told it to.
Just an class="hi2">aan>s it is the responsibility of an class="hi2">aan> computer progran class="hi2">aan>mmer to give it the exan class="hi2">aan>ct-right specific instructions for behan class="hi2">aan>vior, so too do you give your body exan class="hi2">aan>ct instructions for behan class="hi2">aan>vior. This is why an class="hi2">aan>s Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys, if the body is exhibiting signs of sickness or disean class="hi2">aan>se, it must mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t the mind han class="hi2">aan>s given it an class="hi2">aan> progran class="hi2">aan>m where you've an class="hi2">aan>sked it to be sick an class="hi2">aan>nd disean class="hi2">aan>sed. It is just following your request, to the letter. an class="hi2">Aan> sick body is an class="hi2">aan> sign of an class="hi2">aan> sick mind, becan class="hi2">aan>use the progran class="hi2">aan>mmer of the body han class="hi2">aan>s to be sick in order for sickness to show in the body.
This an class="hi2">aan>lso shows us the wan class="hi2">aan>y out of the illusion of stuff han class="hi2">aan>ppening than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>llegedly shouldn't be han class="hi2">aan>ppening. There is not an class="hi2">Aan>NYTHING han class="hi2">aan>ppening in the entire world than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s not been an class="hi2">aan>sked for by an class="hi2">aan> mind. There is nothing han class="hi2">aan>ppening in your body than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve not an class="hi2">aan>sked for in your mind. You put it there yourself through your instructions - your crean class="hi2">aan>tive power an class="hi2">aan>nd freedom. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you han class="hi2">aan>ve received exan class="hi2">aan>ctly whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>sked for. It is an class="hi2">aan> TOTan class="hi2">Aan>LLY relian class="hi2">aan>ble system.
"an class="hi2">Aan>sk an class="hi2">aan>nd you shan class="hi2">aan>ll recieve" does not mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t sometimes you an class="hi2">aan>sk an class="hi2">aan>nd sometimes you receive, it mean class="hi2">aan>ns you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>sking an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys receiving an class="hi2">aan>nd it is not even possible to not receive whan class="hi2">aan>t you've an class="hi2">aan>sked for. There an class="hi2">aan>lso therefore is never an class="hi2">aan> situan class="hi2">aan>tion where you might not receive whan class="hi2">aan>t you've an class="hi2">aan>sked for, where you an class="hi2">aan>re in doubt, or thinking than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>sked the wrong question or don't know how to an class="hi2">aan>sk etc. You an class="hi2">aan>sk nevertheless, an class="hi2">aan>nd everything you an class="hi2">aan>re experiencing right this very second, you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>sked for. You can class="hi2">aan>n't blan class="hi2">aan>me the RESULTS for being something you do not wan class="hi2">aan>nt. YOU need to find out how an class="hi2">aan>nd why you an class="hi2">aan>re progran class="hi2">aan>mming the system to produce an class="hi2">aan>n output of suffering.
If stuff seems to be han class="hi2">aan>ppening in the body which you don't prefer, you can class="hi2">aan>nnot blan class="hi2">aan>me the body for it, an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>nnot look to outside can class="hi2">aan>uses to find out where the symptoms can class="hi2">aan>me from. There is only one progran class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>nd you wrote it. Symptoms an class="hi2">aan>re just correct outputs, ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the progran class="hi2">aan>m you han class="hi2">aan>ve given the body an class="hi2">aan>nd the request you han class="hi2">aan>ve man class="hi2">aan>de.
Sickness is an class="hi2">aan> correct output! Dean class="hi2">aan>th is an class="hi2">aan> correct output! If you an class="hi2">aan>sk for it, you shan class="hi2">aan>ll receive it. If you san class="hi2">aan>y, body, you will die, it will die. If you san class="hi2">aan>y body you will live, it will live. This is why the illusion of things being right or wrong is 100% bullshit delusion, becan class="hi2">aan>use there is nothing BROKEN an class="hi2">aan>bout this system. You an class="hi2">aan>re giving it instructions unconsciously to produce HELL, an class="hi2">aan>nd if than class="hi2">aan>t's not whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nt, you need to progran class="hi2">aan>m something else.
an class="hi2">Aan>s explan class="hi2">aan>ined in the Song of Pran class="hi2">aan>yer, you an class="hi2">aan>re constan class="hi2">aan>ntly pran class="hi2">aan>ying, constan class="hi2">aan>ntly an class="hi2">aan>sking, an class="hi2">aan>nd constan class="hi2">aan>ntly receiving whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>sking for.

This an class="hi2">aan>lso explan class="hi2">aan>ins why rean class="hi2">aan>lly nothing han class="hi2">aan>s gone wrong an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing is rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.

This is why there is never an class="hi2">aan>nything out of plan class="hi2">aan>ce, there an class="hi2">aan>re no an class="hi2">aan>ccidents, nobody dies without their own consent, an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing han class="hi2">aan>ppens without you man class="hi2">aan>king it han class="hi2">aan>ppen. You an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l. You can class="hi2">aan>use things. You produce. You direct. It is an class="hi2">aan>ll extremely specific, 100% specific. Every single thing than class="hi2">aan>t seems to han class="hi2">aan>ppen in illusions is put there on purpose. There an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely no victims whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever. Every notion of victimizan class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>ccidents, right/wrong, good/ban class="hi2">aan>d, should han class="hi2">aan>ve han class="hi2">aan>ppened or not, things unwan class="hi2">aan>nted, events you resist, etc.. it's an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>n effort by an class="hi2">aan>n unconscious progran class="hi2">aan>mmer to fix the progran class="hi2">aan>m by fighting with the output, instean class="hi2">aan>d of chan class="hi2">aan>nging the progran class="hi2">aan>m!
You han class="hi2">aan>ve dominion over the body an class="hi2">aan>nd over the Ean class="hi2">aan>rth. You han class="hi2">aan>ve power over an class="hi2">aan>ll sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th becan class="hi2">aan>use you Man class="hi2">Aan>DE THEM with your progran class="hi2">aan>mming, an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>n UNMan class="hi2">Aan>KE them just an class="hi2">aan>s ean class="hi2">aan>sily. If stuff is han class="hi2">aan>ppening which, when you look an class="hi2">aan>t the results, you do not wan class="hi2">aan>nt, then you need to chan class="hi2">aan>nge your progran class="hi2">aan>mming. You need to eran class="hi2">aan>se the instructions than class="hi2">aan>t you keep giving (fan class="hi2">aan>lse beliefs, delusions, ego), an class="hi2">aan>nd replan class="hi2">aan>ce it with an class="hi2">aan> higher, more orderly progran class="hi2">aan>m (Holy Spirit's mind, right-mindedness, san class="hi2">aan>nity, truth).
Your body does not han class="hi2">aan>ve bugs. Your progran class="hi2">aan>mming of the body han class="hi2">aan>s bugs. Your life does not han class="hi2">aan>ve bugs. Your progran class="hi2">aan>mming of your life han class="hi2">aan>s bugs. You need to go fix your errors, your mistan class="hi2">aan>kes in thinking, which an class="hi2">aan>re producing exan class="hi2">aan>ctly the correct output given the input. If you don't like the output, chan class="hi2">aan>nge the input, don't fight with the output like some victim than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s no power to choose an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in.
You can class="hi2">aan>nnot keep looking an class="hi2">aan>t the output an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>ying, this output is not supposed to be han class="hi2">aan>ppening, this output is wrong, this output is not whan class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>sked for. Than class="hi2">aan>t's an class="hi2">aan> victim, which is an class="hi2">aan> mind who han class="hi2">aan>s forgotten than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re the instructor an class="hi2">aan>nd the INPUT to the system, an class="hi2">aan>nd they an class="hi2">aan>re the ones who an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>using the OUTPUT from the system, but they've forgotten than class="hi2">aan>t they're doing this. It's like they fed in an class="hi2">aan> progran class="hi2">aan>m (the script), wan class="hi2">aan>lked an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from the control system/terminan class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd looked an class="hi2">aan>t the screen to see whan class="hi2">aan>t results were coming out, san class="hi2">aan>w something cran class="hi2">aan>zy coming out, an class="hi2">aan>nd then han class="hi2">aan>ving forgotten than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">Aan>SKED FOR IT, stan class="hi2">aan>rt frean class="hi2">aan>king out an class="hi2">aan>nd blan class="hi2">aan>ming the problem on 50 billion other rean class="hi2">aan>sons why the output is wrong.
The output is an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS CORRECT ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the input, even if its an class="hi2">aan>n output of dean class="hi2">aan>th. So who is rean class="hi2">aan>lly RESPONSIBLE for writing dodgy progran class="hi2">aan>ms?! You an class="hi2">aan>re.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t you put in, you get out. If your mind is feeding input to your body an class="hi2">aan>nd your life with unloving, unforgiving intentions, then you an class="hi2">aan>re going to be writing scripts which an class="hi2">aan>re filled with chosen suffering. You're going to be writing scripts, progran class="hi2">aan>ms, which contan class="hi2">aan>in outputs than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>re unplean class="hi2">aan>san class="hi2">aan>nt. You're going to even write scripts which crean class="hi2">aan>te illusions than class="hi2">aan>t you're not the script-writer an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t you did not an class="hi2">aan>sk for the output. You can class="hi2">aan>n even produce outputs which disguise the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t there wan class="hi2">aan>s ever an class="hi2">aan> progran class="hi2">aan>mmer!
So once you stan class="hi2">aan>rt getting SHIT come out of your printer, you proban class="hi2">aan>bly can class="hi2">aan>n tell than class="hi2">aan>t shit wan class="hi2">aan>s fed INTO the printer an class="hi2">aan>nd you need to correct than class="hi2">aan>t. It's not the printer's fan class="hi2">aan>ult. It's not the body-computer's fan class="hi2">aan>ult. It's not other people's fan class="hi2">aan>ult or life's fan class="hi2">aan>ult or the environments fan class="hi2">aan>ult or food's fan class="hi2">aan>ult or an class="hi2">aan>nything's fan class="hi2">aan>ult.
This is just an class="hi2">aan> simple can class="hi2">aan>use-an class="hi2">aan>nd-effect system. It functions like an class="hi2">aan> computer. There an class="hi2">aan>re decisions being man class="hi2">aan>de, there an class="hi2">aan>re inputs being given to the system, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is producing exan class="hi2">aan>ctly the output than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s requested. There is not even an class="hi2">aan> single interference with than class="hi2">aan>t. There is no corruption on the disk drive, there an class="hi2">aan>re no viruses infecting things, it's an class="hi2">aan>ll running perfectly. EVERY pran class="hi2">aan>yer is being an class="hi2">aan>nswered. EVERY request is being gran class="hi2">aan>nted. You just keep man class="hi2">aan>king stupid-an class="hi2">aan>ss requests!
This is why if you rean class="hi2">aan>lly wan class="hi2">aan>nt to chan class="hi2">aan>nge the output, i.e. chan class="hi2">aan>nge the world or the body or an class="hi2">aan>ny other effects, the ONLY rean class="hi2">aan>l wan class="hi2">aan>y to do than class="hi2">aan>t is to get ban class="hi2">aan>ck to the mind - to the progran class="hi2">aan>mmer, get the progran class="hi2">aan>mmer's mind corrected so they're not writing ridiculous progran class="hi2">aan>ms, an class="hi2">aan>nd then feed an class="hi2">aan> new progran class="hi2">aan>m into the system. an class="hi2">Aan> more truthful, orderly progran class="hi2">aan>m. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this MUST (not sometimes, not man class="hi2">aan>ybe, but MUST) produce an class="hi2">aan> corrected OUTPUT in the form of the "symptoms" or "effects" seen an class="hi2">aan>s the body. Remember Jesus's principle, "If miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re not han class="hi2">aan>ppening, something han class="hi2">aan>s gone wrong" - mean class="hi2">aan>ning, there is NEVER an class="hi2">aan> wrong output given the input, so if you an class="hi2">aan>re not seeing an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle, YOU CORRECTLY an class="hi2">Aan>SKED FOR SOMETHING OTHER THan class="hi2">Aan>N WHan class="hi2">Aan>T YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE an class="hi2">Aan>SKING FOR! an class="hi2">Aan>nd you WILL receive it.
Even in the bible it san class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t if you an class="hi2">aan>sk, an class="hi2">aan>nd believe than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve received it, you will receive it. This suggests it's possible to not receive if you do not believe enough, which is not true. The correction for this is to rean class="hi2">aan>lize, YOU MUST an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>RE receiving exan class="hi2">aan>ctly whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>sking for, so if it "looks like" you an class="hi2">aan>re not receiving whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nt, you MUST be the one who is out of touch with whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nt, an class="hi2">aan>nd you're an class="hi2">aan>sking for stuff unconsciously than class="hi2">aan>t your conscious mind is in denian class="hi2">aan>l of.
an class="hi2">Aan>ttempting to mess with whan class="hi2">aan>t output you got, or whan class="hi2">aan>t your body stan class="hi2">aan>te is, or whan class="hi2">aan>t your life looks like, from the end of the system than class="hi2">aan>t is the output of instructions, you an class="hi2">aan>re hitting your hean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to perform man class="hi2">aan>gic. Man class="hi2">aan>gic mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re believing than class="hi2">aan>t the output can class="hi2">aan>me from an class="hi2">aan> non-obvious source, than class="hi2">aan>t the system is broken, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t you need to "pan class="hi2">aan>tch it up" with some kind of bypan class="hi2">aan>ss than class="hi2">aan>t messes with the output an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ngles it to man class="hi2">aan>ke it look like whan class="hi2">aan>t you thought should han class="hi2">aan>ve come out. Than class="hi2">aan>t, however, does not fix the fan class="hi2">aan>ulty PROGRan class="hi2">Aan>M, or the progran class="hi2">aan>mmer than class="hi2">aan>t's nuts who is writing the fan class="hi2">aan>ulty progran class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan>nd so it will likely still keep producing the san class="hi2">aan>me output eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly. You can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly remove the effects of "sin" but if the person continues to "sin", i.e. write progran class="hi2">aan>ms of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, they will keep reproducing the san class="hi2">aan>me effects an class="hi2">aan>nd symptoms.
an class="hi2">Aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle, is simply the mind choosing to can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan> different output. Writing an class="hi2">aan> different progran class="hi2">aan>m. Fixing bugs in its own softwan class="hi2">aan>re. When these chan class="hi2">aan>nges show up in the output, it's an class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>zing, like someone just rewrote an class="hi2">aan>ll the rules, an class="hi2">aan>ll of the old rules were broken, an class="hi2">aan>nd the design of the whole system han class="hi2">aan>s been overridden. We can class="hi2">aan>ll this miran class="hi2">aan>culous. Some "super-nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l" power from outside of the entire "man class="hi2">aan>trix" of the system han class="hi2">aan>s just flipped some switches an class="hi2">aan>nd chan class="hi2">aan>nged the INPUT, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefor the output han class="hi2">aan>s to fan class="hi2">aan>ll into line.
an class="hi2">Aan>nother wan class="hi2">aan>y this can class="hi2">aan>n show up an class="hi2">aan>s miran class="hi2">aan>cles is than class="hi2">aan>t the progran class="hi2">aan>mmer of the system can class="hi2">aan>n decide to rean class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>nge span class="hi2">aan>ce or time, can class="hi2">aan>n insert an class="hi2">aan>nd remove objects from the scenery, can class="hi2">aan>n man class="hi2">aan>nipulan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>ny piece of 'dan class="hi2">aan>tan class="hi2">aan>' in the system, can class="hi2">aan>n modify an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely an class="hi2">aan>nything in the system, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n convert an class="hi2">aan>nything into an class="hi2">aan>nything else. These an class="hi2">aan>re the powers than class="hi2">aan>t Jesus han class="hi2">aan>s demonstran class="hi2">aan>ted through miran class="hi2">aan>cles. He got in touch with the progran class="hi2">aan>mmer's chan class="hi2">aan>ir, san class="hi2">aan>t down an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>rted rewriting the progran class="hi2">aan>ms. Everyone han class="hi2">aan>s the freedom to do this, we just han class="hi2">aan>ve to get ban class="hi2">aan>ck into the chan class="hi2">aan>ir an class="hi2">aan>nd write progran class="hi2">aan>ms from love!
We an class="hi2">aan>re not getting an class="hi2">aan>nything out of this system than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>sn't put in, or than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>sn't an class="hi2">aan>sked for. The computer is not broken. The han class="hi2">aan>rdwan class="hi2">aan>re is not broken. We han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> softwan class="hi2">aan>re problem. We keep writing fan class="hi2">aan>ulty softwan class="hi2">aan>re. Softwan class="hi2">aan>re is PERCEPTION. The content of span class="hi2">aan>cetime is Dan class="hi2">Aan>Tan class="hi2">Aan>. Softwan class="hi2">aan>re operan class="hi2">aan>tes on the dan class="hi2">aan>tan class="hi2">aan>. True perception mean class="hi2">aan>ns seeing the progran class="hi2">aan>m clean class="hi2">aan>rly an class="hi2">aan>nd being an class="hi2">aan>ble to do an class="hi2">aan>nything to modify it an class="hi2">aan>t will, producing different dan class="hi2">aan>tan class="hi2">aan> - an class="hi2">aan> different output.
We need, therefore, to tan class="hi2">aan>p into the an class="hi2">aan>ssistan class="hi2">aan>nce of an class="hi2">aan> superior softwan class="hi2">aan>re writer, an class="hi2">aan>kan class="hi2">aan> Holy Spirit, Jesus, God, who an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of not only writing or chan class="hi2">aan>nging portions of our progran class="hi2">aan>m for us (collan class="hi2">aan>psing time, rean class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>nging span class="hi2">aan>ce, etc), but can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>lso guide an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ssist us with "correction" of our progran class="hi2">aan>mming expressions. Thus we gran class="hi2">aan>duan class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>n write an class="hi2">aan> han class="hi2">aan>ppier drean class="hi2">aan>m, lean class="hi2">aan>ding up to an class="hi2">aan> finan class="hi2">aan>l climan class="hi2">aan>x.
The ultiman class="hi2">aan>te relean class="hi2">aan>se from this whole CLOSED SYSTEM (it's closed becan class="hi2">aan>use it's an class="hi2">aan>ll han class="hi2">aan>ppening inside of God an class="hi2">aan>nd there an class="hi2">aan>re no hidden rules or secret wills an class="hi2">aan>nd everything is very exan class="hi2">aan>ct), is when you decide to ERan class="hi2">Aan>SE an class="hi2">Aan>LL PROGRan class="hi2">Aan>MS. an class="hi2">Aan> complete reboot. an class="hi2">Aan> totan class="hi2">aan>l fresh stan class="hi2">aan>rt. an class="hi2">Aan> renewing of everything.

Then, the only thing running is the operan class="hi2">aan>ting system - GOD, who han class="hi2">aan>s progran class="hi2">aan>mmed Christ - the perfect progran class="hi2">aan>m, to produce the perfect output - Hean class="hi2">aan>ven.

ARTICLE:
Is the world just a dream?

The idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t the world is just an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, man class="hi2">aan>y sound very simple. But to fully an class="hi2">aan>nd completely embran class="hi2">aan>ce it is an class="hi2">aan> very tan class="hi2">aan>ll order. If the world is just an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, it chan class="hi2">aan>nges your ENTIRE relan class="hi2">aan>tionship to everything, to an class="hi2">aan>ll people an class="hi2">aan>nd object an class="hi2">aan>nd events an class="hi2">aan>nd plan class="hi2">aan>ces. Every single han class="hi2">aan>ppening is fran class="hi2">aan>med differently, every interan class="hi2">aan>ction han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> different mean class="hi2">aan>ning, an class="hi2">aan>nd every piece of physican class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>tter is up for question.
To an class="hi2">aan>ccept this idean class="hi2">aan> intellectuan class="hi2">aan>lly is very ean class="hi2">aan>sy. It man class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan> lot of sense. If you can class="hi2">aan>n see the logic behind it, than class="hi2">aan>t we man class="hi2">aan>de this world an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n opposite to God, an class="hi2">aan>nd is therefore not rean class="hi2">aan>l, you can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccept than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>king sense.
But to live it, to deep dive into it, to an class="hi2">aan>pply it everywhere an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll times, to remember it in the midsts of an class="hi2">aan>ll han class="hi2">aan>ppenings, to use it in an class="hi2">aan>ll relan class="hi2">aan>tionships, an class="hi2">aan>nd to completely uproot an class="hi2">aan>ll previous beliefs is long term chan class="hi2">aan>llenge.
For me, the seemingly logican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd clean class="hi2">aan>r conclusion than class="hi2">aan>t the world is not rean class="hi2">aan>l, han class="hi2">aan>s become so refined an class="hi2">aan>nd polished than class="hi2">aan>t I can class="hi2">aan>n see nothing to contran class="hi2">aan>dict it. Like, it man class="hi2">aan>kes totan class="hi2">aan>l sense on pan class="hi2">aan>per. However, I still han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> van class="hi2">aan>st repository of "other beliefs" which han class="hi2">aan>ve been convinced otherwise over time.
Beliefs in bodies being rean class="hi2">aan>l. Beliefs in being an class="hi2">aan> body. Beliefs in other people being bodies. Beliefs in events han class="hi2">aan>ppening. Beliefs in seriousness an class="hi2">aan>nd importan class="hi2">aan>nce. Beliefs in van class="hi2">aan>lue an class="hi2">aan>nd priorities an class="hi2">aan>nd hieran class="hi2">aan>rchies of difficulty. Beliefs in justified rean class="hi2">aan>ctions an class="hi2">aan>nd ego emotions an class="hi2">aan>nd norman class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd human class="hi2">aan>n nan class="hi2">aan>ture. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of those things screan class="hi2">aan>m than class="hi2">aan>t the world is rean class="hi2">aan>l.
So whan class="hi2">aan>t I find is than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>lthough I understan class="hi2">aan>nd it in theory, my mind an class="hi2">aan>nd beliefs still an class="hi2">aan>re quite uncertan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>bout this idean class="hi2">aan>. I go towan class="hi2">aan>rds it an class="hi2">aan> little more only to find other beliefs springing up into an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness san class="hi2">aan>ying, "but whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>bout....". an class="hi2">Aan>nd every SINGLE one of those beliefs is rooted in the belief than class="hi2">aan>t the world is rean class="hi2">aan>lity. The ban class="hi2">aan>sic opposite premise of the drean class="hi2">aan>m. Ean class="hi2">aan>ch one of them signan class="hi2">aan>ls an class="hi2">aan>nd testifies than class="hi2">aan>t this is not just an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m.
So the mind then finds itself pulled in two directions. One direction pulls towan class="hi2">aan>rd the seemingly glowing new "idean class="hi2">aan>" or light, than class="hi2">aan>t it's true the world is just an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing is han class="hi2">aan>ppening an class="hi2">aan>nd no-one han class="hi2">aan>s ever sinned. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the other direction pulls towan class="hi2">aan>rds the old worn out dan class="hi2">aan>rkness of nightman class="hi2">aan>res an class="hi2">aan>nd hell, than class="hi2">aan>t there is sin everywhere an class="hi2">aan>nd no hope for san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion.
"Some of your grean class="hi2">aan>test an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>nces YOU han class="hi2">aan>ve judged an class="hi2">aan>s fan class="hi2">aan>ilures, an class="hi2">aan>nd some of your deepest retrean class="hi2">aan>ts YOU han class="hi2">aan>ve evan class="hi2">aan>luan class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>s success."
"If you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to be different, I will wan class="hi2">aan>it until you chan class="hi2">aan>nge your mind. I can class="hi2">aan>n tean class="hi2">aan>ch you, but only you can class="hi2">aan>n choose to listen to my tean class="hi2">aan>ching."
I will go towan class="hi2">aan>rds the light of the truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd the ego mind will go into doubt, which is fean class="hi2">aan>r. It will san class="hi2">aan>y, but whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>bout this, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>bout than class="hi2">aan>t.... there will be an class="hi2">aan>n uncertan class="hi2">aan>inty an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> "not sure an class="hi2">aan>bout this" an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> "can class="hi2">aan>n this rean class="hi2">aan>lly be true?".

Levels in A Course in Miracles

In an class="hi2">Aan>CIM's tean class="hi2">aan>ching, there wan class="hi2">aan>s originan class="hi2">aan>lly just one "level" or rean class="hi2">aan>lm in which to exist - The Kingdom of God, Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. This is true becan class="hi2">aan>use the Kingdom is one logican class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>te or nan class="hi2">aan>ture.
In the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, we invented an class="hi2">aan> second level or logican class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>te, by trying to be opposite to the Kingdom. This wan class="hi2">aan>sn't an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rtian class="hi2">aan>l opposition it wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> totan class="hi2">aan>l opposition, like light an class="hi2">aan>nd dan class="hi2">aan>rkness. This second stan class="hi2">aan>te is an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of drean class="hi2">aan>ming an class="hi2">aan>nd perception, opposing knowledge. It's technican class="hi2">aan>lly inside of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, but it an class="hi2">aan> belief in being exiled or outside of it. So this forms an class="hi2">aan> kind of second "level."
We often visuan class="hi2">aan>lize the two man class="hi2">aan>in levels an class="hi2">aan>s "an class="hi2">aan>bove an class="hi2">aan>nd below", where Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is the higher level an class="hi2">aan>nd Ean class="hi2">aan>rth is the lower. The two levels contran class="hi2">aan>st an class="hi2">aan>nd oppose ean class="hi2">aan>ch other in EVERY wan class="hi2">aan>y iman class="hi2">aan>ginan class="hi2">aan>ble. Light vs Dan class="hi2">aan>rk, Rean class="hi2">aan>lity vs Illusions, Life vs Dean class="hi2">aan>th, Love vs Fean class="hi2">aan>r, Immortan class="hi2">aan>lity vs Mortan class="hi2">aan>lity, etc. Some refer to the two man class="hi2">aan>in levels an class="hi2">aan>s level 1 (hean class="hi2">aan>ven) an class="hi2">aan>nd level 2 (ean class="hi2">aan>rth).
Within level 2 (ean class="hi2">aan>rth) - "Ean class="hi2">aan>rth, hean class="hi2">aan>ven's opposite in every wan class="hi2">aan>y", which is the level of "an class="hi2">aan>ll perception", there is an class="hi2">aan> wide spectrum of stan class="hi2">aan>tes of mind ran class="hi2">aan>nging from fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception to true perception. But it's often helpful to contran class="hi2">aan>st them more extremely which suggests two an class="hi2">aan>dditionan class="hi2">aan>l levels within the level of perception - the lower drean class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>nd the higher drean class="hi2">aan>m.
In the lower drean class="hi2">aan>m there is fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception, physican class="hi2">aan>l objects, form, bodies, the world/ean class="hi2">aan>rth, an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, sin, dean class="hi2">aan>th, sickness etc. In the higher drean class="hi2">aan>m there is true perception, no physican class="hi2">aan>l objects, no bodies, the rean class="hi2">aan>l world, no sin or sickness, no dean class="hi2">aan>th etc. They an class="hi2">aan>re effectively opposite stan class="hi2">aan>tes WITHIN level 2.
It's importan class="hi2">aan>nt to rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t this ban class="hi2">aan>sic logican class="hi2">aan>l structure is infused throughout the course, becan class="hi2">aan>use Jesus is an class="hi2">aan>t van class="hi2">aan>rious times tan class="hi2">aan>lking within the context of different levels. For exan class="hi2">aan>mple he might tan class="hi2">aan>lk an class="hi2">aan>bout the higher drean class="hi2">aan>m of true perception, an class="hi2">aan>nd it can class="hi2">aan>n sound glowing an class="hi2">aan>nd lovely, but if you forget than class="hi2">aan>t it is within the CONTEXT of level 2, you might be tempted to forget than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>LL of the rules than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>pply to level 2 still an class="hi2">aan>pply.
For exan class="hi2">aan>mple the course tells us an class="hi2">aan> glowing report an class="hi2">aan>bout the rean class="hi2">aan>l world, or the forgiven world, or true perception/san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion, but an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time it an class="hi2">aan>lso reminds us in other pan class="hi2">aan>ssan class="hi2">aan>ges than class="hi2">aan>t "the rean class="hi2">aan>l world still is but an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m" an class="hi2">aan>nd "those who perceive (an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll) still need hean class="hi2">aan>ling." So within level 2, the drean class="hi2">aan>m of perception, even when we're tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout true perception or forgiveness or the hean class="hi2">aan>led body, we han class="hi2">aan>ve to keep in mind than class="hi2">aan>t both the rules of true perception (higher drean class="hi2">aan>m within level 2) an class="hi2">Aan>ND the rules of level 2 itself an class="hi2">aan>re simultan class="hi2">aan>neously an class="hi2">aan>pplying.
Confusing these levels, not being clean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>bout which stan class="hi2">aan>tements an class="hi2">aan>re referring to which levels, not understan class="hi2">aan>nding which contexts certan class="hi2">aan>in stan class="hi2">aan>tements an class="hi2">aan>re given in an class="hi2">aan>nd not keeping in mind than class="hi2">aan>t the lan class="hi2">aan>rger context of levels 1 an class="hi2">aan>nd 2 an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>pply when discussing an class="hi2">aan>nything to do with the rean class="hi2">aan>lm of perception, can class="hi2">aan>n lean class="hi2">aan>d to an class="hi2">aan> whole lot of confusion an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t stuff mean class="hi2">aan>ns or implies. This is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of whan class="hi2">aan>t's can class="hi2">aan>lled "level confusion", not knowing which level is an class="hi2">aan>bove or below or inside of an class="hi2">aan>nother.
The generan class="hi2">aan>l story, in summan class="hi2">aan>ry, is than class="hi2">aan>t you began class="hi2">aan>n in level 1, you drean class="hi2">aan>med of level 2, an class="hi2">aan>nd while drean class="hi2">aan>ming of level 2 you drean class="hi2">aan>med of an class="hi2">aan> level 2 inside of level 2 - an class="hi2">aan> lower drean class="hi2">aan>m of hell an class="hi2">aan>nd form, an class="hi2">aan>nd then the holy spirit provided an class="hi2">aan> higher drean class="hi2">aan>m - an class="hi2">aan> level 1 inside level 2, which reflects the rean class="hi2">aan>l level 1 of hean class="hi2">aan>ven, to lean class="hi2">aan>d you out of the drean class="hi2">aan>m into rean class="hi2">aan>lity.

You are seeing a subjective world

an class="hi2">Aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll times you perceive ONLY whan class="hi2">aan>t you believe is true. This can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan> tran class="hi2">aan>p when you're not an class="hi2">Aan>CTUan class="hi2">Aan>LLY believing the Rean class="hi2">aan>l Truth.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t it does, is it man class="hi2">aan>kes you think than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re seeing everything there is to see, when in fan class="hi2">aan>ct you an class="hi2">aan>re only seeing an class="hi2">aan> 'version' of rean class="hi2">aan>lity than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s your idean class="hi2">aan> of truth/rean class="hi2">aan>lity projected onto it.
So then you get stuck, becan class="hi2">aan>use you think, well, todan class="hi2">aan>y I feel an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id becan class="hi2">aan>use the world is scan class="hi2">aan>ry. Or, todan class="hi2">aan>y I an class="hi2">aan>m han class="hi2">aan>ppy an class="hi2">aan>nd everyone seems han class="hi2">aan>ppy too. Or, todan class="hi2">aan>y I an class="hi2">aan>m terrorized an class="hi2">aan>nd the world is full of terrorists, etc.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t I've noticed is, than class="hi2">aan>t the kind of world I see totan class="hi2">aan>lly depends on whan class="hi2">aan>t is going on inside of me. an class="hi2">Aan>nd I'll be convinced than class="hi2">aan>t I'm seeing OBJECTIVELY, an class="hi2">aan>s though I'm not han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan>nything to do with why the world an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to me the wan class="hi2">aan>y it does. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so then I don't see an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y out of it - my only choice is to try to 'cope' with it.
So if you think of the world an class="hi2">aan>s being like an class="hi2">aan> mirror, in which you see reflected your own mind's content, you'll be ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly looking an class="hi2">aan>t yourself everywhere you go. an class="hi2">Aan>nd by yourself I mean class="hi2">aan>n, your belief in whan class="hi2">aan>tever you think is true. Becan class="hi2">aan>use whan class="hi2">aan>tever is 'true' for you, you tan class="hi2">aan>ke than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>s your identity an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s your rean class="hi2">aan>lity, regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of whether it is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly true.
So your perception of the world is usuan class="hi2">aan>lly SUBJECTIVE, an class="hi2">aan>nd limited, BUT you do not rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re being subjective an class="hi2">aan>nd limiting in the wan class="hi2">aan>y you're looking an class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t's there. You don't rean class="hi2">aan>lize you're filtering OUT stuff becan class="hi2">aan>use of the wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t your idean class="hi2">aan> of truth filters IN stuff. You select some an class="hi2">aan>ttitudes or beliefs an class="hi2">aan>s 'correct' an class="hi2">aan>nd others an class="hi2">aan>s 'incorrect' an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll of than class="hi2">aan>t incorrect stuff ends up outside of your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness - you man class="hi2">aan>ke it unconscious through rejection an class="hi2">aan>nd denian class="hi2">aan>l.
For exan class="hi2">aan>mple, if I choose to be loving, it is extran class="hi2">aan>ordinan class="hi2">aan>ry than class="hi2">aan>t, an class="hi2">aan>ll of an class="hi2">aan> sudden, it seems like there an class="hi2">aan>ren't an class="hi2">aan>ny rean class="hi2">aan>sons to be an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id. People seem less threan class="hi2">aan>tening. Life seems more fun. But if I don't be loving, I feel more an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id, an class="hi2">aan>nd more threan class="hi2">aan>tened, an class="hi2">aan>nd it rean class="hi2">aan>lly seems like other people an class="hi2">aan>re the can class="hi2">aan>use of the threan class="hi2">aan>t - like they 'rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re' being threan class="hi2">aan>tening. But them seeming to be than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>nd me experiencing fean class="hi2">aan>r go han class="hi2">aan>nd in han class="hi2">aan>nd... they go together.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t you experience in your perception is an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS man class="hi2">aan>tched up to/an class="hi2">aan>ligned with whan class="hi2">aan>t kind of an class="hi2">aan> world you will see. If you an class="hi2">aan>re in fean class="hi2">aan>r, you can class="hi2">aan>n ONLY see an class="hi2">aan> fean class="hi2">aan>r-inducing world. If you an class="hi2">aan>re in love, you can class="hi2">aan>n ONLY see an class="hi2">aan> love-inducing world. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so if the world seems to suck, it's becan class="hi2">aan>use you believe than class="hi2">aan>t you suck. Or ran class="hi2">aan>ther, you believe in some things which suck but you think they don't suck.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t's pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the tran class="hi2">aan>p. You can class="hi2">aan>n get lost in your nan class="hi2">aan>rrow filtered perception, thinking you're rean class="hi2">aan>lly seeing everything there is to see, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t you're seeing correctly an class="hi2">aan>nd clean class="hi2">aan>rly, when in fan class="hi2">aan>ct you an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>jorly distorting an class="hi2">aan>nd blocking out man class="hi2">aan>ny pan class="hi2">aan>rts of 'whan class="hi2">aan>t is out there', becan class="hi2">aan>use you're blocking it in your mind. When there an class="hi2">aan>re no blocks, you'll see 'the forgiven world', becan class="hi2">aan>use you will han class="hi2">aan>ve forgiven yourself. But when you han class="hi2">aan>ven't forgiven yourself, you will see an class="hi2">aan> condemned world, becan class="hi2">aan>use you han class="hi2">aan>ve condemned yourself.
You'll notice then than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>tever experience you're han class="hi2">aan>ving of the world 'out there', it seems to 'can class="hi2">aan>ll for' or directly man class="hi2">aan>p to certan class="hi2">aan>in 'rean class="hi2">aan>ctions' of an class="hi2">aan> given an class="hi2">aan>mount of severity. an class="hi2">Aan>nd when the world 'out there' seems to be intense an class="hi2">aan>nd serious, you seem compelled to an class="hi2">aan>lso han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n intense serious rean class="hi2">aan>ction, becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys connect whan class="hi2">aan>t you perceive out there with whan class="hi2">aan>t's going on inside of you.
If the world out there seems to 'man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> move' an class="hi2">aan>nd do something to 'man class="hi2">aan>ke' situan class="hi2">aan>tions worse, your ego self is pulled right an class="hi2">aan>long with the story an class="hi2">aan>nd down into the story, where YOU become the mirror of whan class="hi2">aan>t's han class="hi2">aan>ppened. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> severe rean class="hi2">aan>ction. Wherean class="hi2">aan>s when YOU decide to man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> move, rean class="hi2">aan>lizing than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re NOT seeing everything there is to see, than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re only seeing the pan class="hi2">aan>st, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t everything than class="hi2">aan>t's han class="hi2">aan>ppening right now is becan class="hi2">aan>use of Pan class="hi2">Aan>ST decisions an class="hi2">aan>nd the future DOES NOT han class="hi2">aan>ve to be the san class="hi2">aan>me, now you an class="hi2">aan>re stan class="hi2">aan>rting to step outside of your own 'rean class="hi2">aan>lity bubble'. You can class="hi2">aan>n deliberan class="hi2">aan>tely choose to an class="hi2">aan>ccept more love into yourself, within, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore REVEan class="hi2">Aan>L to yourself more love without - which, by the wan class="hi2">aan>y, wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys there, just hidden.
The wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t the out-there man class="hi2">aan>ps to the in-here is whan class="hi2">aan>t sets up the "hieran class="hi2">aan>rchy of illusions". ie, van class="hi2">aan>rying kinds of inner an class="hi2">aan>nd outer stan class="hi2">aan>tements of truth can class="hi2">aan>use rean class="hi2">aan>ctions of equivan class="hi2">aan>lent an class="hi2">aan>mounts. It's an class="hi2">aan>lmost like in the lan class="hi2">aan>w of physics where ean class="hi2">aan>ch an class="hi2">aan>ction han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n equan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd opposite rean class="hi2">aan>ction. Ean class="hi2">aan>ch externan class="hi2">aan>l-seeming event produces an class="hi2">aan>n equan class="hi2">aan>l response in the ego within - becan class="hi2">aan>use secretly, than class="hi2">aan>t's where it Can class="hi2">Aan>ME FROM.
So be can class="hi2">aan>reful not to get stuck in thinking than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re being objective. The only objectivity is PURE LOVE. If you an class="hi2">aan>re not in pure totan class="hi2">aan>l love, you an class="hi2">aan>re filtering rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve blocked yourself from being an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re than class="hi2">aan>t LOVE IS PRESENT. You do not see God becan class="hi2">aan>use you think he is not there, an class="hi2">aan>nd you think this is an class="hi2">aan>n objective fan class="hi2">aan>ct, but the only rean class="hi2">aan>son you don't see God is becan class="hi2">aan>use you do not believe God is in your mind. Your mentan class="hi2">aan>l blocks to love can class="hi2">aan>use the world outside of you to seem like an class="hi2">aan> blocked, insan class="hi2">aan>ne plan class="hi2">aan>ce.
It is extremely ean class="hi2">aan>sy to get stuck in this, for exan class="hi2">aan>mple if you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id, you will perceive than class="hi2">aan>t the whole world 'rean class="hi2">aan>lly is' an class="hi2">aan> fean class="hi2">aan>rful plan class="hi2">aan>ce, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t fean class="hi2">aan>r is JUSTIFIED becan class="hi2">aan>use of the kind of world you see. But you don't rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t the fean class="hi2">aan>rful world you see is fean class="hi2">aan>rful BECan class="hi2">Aan>USE you an class="hi2">aan>re being an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id. It did not can class="hi2">aan>use the fean class="hi2">aan>r, it is an class="hi2">aan> PROJECTION of the fean class="hi2">aan>r. an class="hi2">Aan> mirror. an class="hi2">Aan> reflection. So while you're han class="hi2">aan>ving your insan class="hi2">aan>ne nightman class="hi2">aan>re, an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lly believe than class="hi2">aan>t ban class="hi2">aan>d stuff is han class="hi2">aan>ppening outside you, it's becan class="hi2">aan>use ban class="hi2">aan>d stuff is han class="hi2">aan>ppening inside you. They go together han class="hi2">aan>nd in han class="hi2">aan>nd.
So you han class="hi2">aan>ve to be willing to man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> kind of lean class="hi2">aan>p of fan class="hi2">aan>ith. The lean class="hi2">aan>p of fan class="hi2">aan>ith san class="hi2">aan>ys, man class="hi2">aan>ybe there is an class="hi2">aan> grean class="hi2">aan>ter rean class="hi2">aan>lity, an class="hi2">aan> grean class="hi2">aan>ter truth, outside of whan class="hi2">aan>t I currently believe, outside of my self-imposed prison, an class="hi2">aan>nd outside of the condition of the world an class="hi2">aan>s I currently see it. Man class="hi2">aan>ybe there is an class="hi2">aan>re hidden pan class="hi2">aan>rts to whan class="hi2">aan>t's out there, than class="hi2">aan>t I don't currently see, becan class="hi2">aan>use I an class="hi2">aan>m blocking it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ybe, man class="hi2">aan>ybe God is out there, an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ybe God is love, an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ybe I an class="hi2">aan>m just not seeing an class="hi2">aan>nd experiencing God's presence becan class="hi2">aan>use I'm blocking it. Man class="hi2">aan>ybe BEHIND an class="hi2">aan>nd BEYOND my blocks, love is still there, with me.
This is whan class="hi2">aan>t fan class="hi2">aan>ith is an class="hi2">aan>bout... hurdling over the obstan class="hi2">aan>cles to pean class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd trusting than class="hi2">aan>t God is still love an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re still love regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of how your perception CURRENTLY looks.

God is right with you right now, smiling an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ppy. If you're not experiencing than class="hi2">aan>t, you've got some hean class="hi2">aan>ling to do.

Be willing to be mistan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>bout how the world looks to you. You're not seeing it clean class="hi2">aan>rly unless you're seeing love.

Being corrected by a miracle

Someone who is in their right mind, who is san class="hi2">aan>ne, an class="hi2">aan>nd who is correct, an class="hi2">aan>nd who is not believing illusions, han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> whole mind an class="hi2">aan>nd recognizes whan class="hi2">aan>t is true.
Their mind is filled with love becan class="hi2">aan>use love is the quan class="hi2">aan>lity of whan class="hi2">aan>t is nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd correct. an class="hi2">Aan> nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l mind, or being miran class="hi2">aan>cle minded, is an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of correct an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te perception. It's an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of the truth an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> willingness to an class="hi2">aan>ccept it.
If an class="hi2">aan> person man class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, produces an class="hi2">aan>n error, or slips into an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>sy, in which the truth is mistan class="hi2">aan>ken for something else, they go into illusions. Their mind han class="hi2">aan>s become incorrect. This is simply an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, an class="hi2">aan>n error they an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>king. It is not an class="hi2">aan> sin.
In this stan class="hi2">aan>te, the "curriculum" now becomes to "lean class="hi2">aan>rn love" an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in. The an class="hi2">aan>im is to restore the mind to its wholeness, to return to san class="hi2">aan>nity, to regan class="hi2">aan>in right mindedness, an class="hi2">aan>nd to recognize whan class="hi2">aan>t is true. The only thing the student needs is the correction of the mistan class="hi2">aan>ke.
an class="hi2">Aan> loving tean class="hi2">aan>cher, such an class="hi2">aan>s the Holy Spirit, recognizes than class="hi2">aan>t the student han class="hi2">aan>s simply man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke in their understan class="hi2">aan>nding or gran class="hi2">aan>sp of the truth, or whan class="hi2">aan>t is rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore needs an class="hi2">aan> simple correction.This loving tean class="hi2">aan>cher offers an class="hi2">aan>nd provides correction in an class="hi2">aan> loving an class="hi2">aan>nd gentle man class="hi2">aan>nner, which does not dwell on the error or man class="hi2">aan>ke the student out to be sinful for man class="hi2">aan>king it, an class="hi2">aan>nd especian class="hi2">aan>lly He does not move into inducing guilt for han class="hi2">aan>ving man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. He is an class="hi2">aan>lso not deceived by the illusion. He recognizes than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll mistan class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan>re simply innocent mistan class="hi2">aan>kes which do not can class="hi2">aan>ll for an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of punishment.
True correction, to such an class="hi2">aan> tean class="hi2">aan>cher, is to restore the san class="hi2">aan>nity of the mind. To return the mind to an class="hi2">aan> loving condition. The curriculum thus is to re-lean class="hi2">aan>rn love, an class="hi2">aan>nd to an class="hi2">aan>ccept whan class="hi2">aan>t is true. To reintegran class="hi2">aan>te the REan class="hi2">Aan>L an class="hi2">Aan>NSWER to correct the wrong one. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nswers corrects the fan class="hi2">aan>lse conclusion which the student can class="hi2">aan>me to.
In order for the student to be corrected, they han class="hi2">aan>ve to move upwan class="hi2">aan>rds, ban class="hi2">aan>ck into the truth an class="hi2">aan>nd into love. They han class="hi2">aan>ve to become the truth an class="hi2">aan>nd the love in order to BE correct. To be an class="hi2">aan>s God intended. To be rean class="hi2">aan>l. They must become pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the an class="hi2">aan>tonement itself.
The movement an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from the truth plan class="hi2">aan>ced the student into an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of mistan class="hi2">aan>kenness, an class="hi2">aan>nd since this seemed to be an class="hi2">aan>n investment in Lan class="hi2">Aan>CK of love, the correction is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly the SUPPLY of the lan class="hi2">aan>ck of love to the student.
In other words, punishing the student for an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke will not move them into an class="hi2">aan> loving stan class="hi2">aan>te. It will not correct them. Whan class="hi2">aan>t they need is to be trean class="hi2">aan>ted with love an class="hi2">aan>nd gentleness, an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>led. The loving tean class="hi2">aan>cher needs to show the student an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>rger truth, an class="hi2">aan> light, which correctly fran class="hi2">aan>mes the mistan class="hi2">aan>ke they man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">Aan>S an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>nd not an class="hi2">aan> true sin, so than class="hi2">aan>t they can class="hi2">aan>n SEE whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth rean class="hi2">aan>lly is.
Upon seeing an class="hi2">aan>nd recognizing the truth, the student can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge it an class="hi2">aan>nd move into it, an class="hi2">aan>ccepting an class="hi2">aan>tonement. Their mind becomes whole an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd they an class="hi2">aan>re restored to san class="hi2">aan>nity an class="hi2">aan>nd to love.
an class="hi2">Aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle therefore, is the blessing of love an class="hi2">aan>nd forgiveness given by the loving tean class="hi2">aan>cher, which could be an class="hi2">aan>ny tean class="hi2">aan>cher of God, which recognizes the sinless innocence of the student, the fan class="hi2">aan>ct they an class="hi2">aan>re temporan class="hi2">aan>rily mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, the recognition of the truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd the offering of whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth is. The truth is offered by being GIVEN to the student through an class="hi2">aan>n expression of love.
The truth, or love, must an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly be GIVEN by the tean class="hi2">aan>cher, TO the student, or from the giver to the receiver, so than class="hi2">aan>t the student can class="hi2">aan>n Han class="hi2">Aan>VE whan class="hi2">aan>t they were missing. The student must RECEIVE the love, the correction, an class="hi2">aan>llowing it to hean class="hi2">aan>l their mind an class="hi2">aan>nd perception.
Than class="hi2">aan>t which tran class="hi2">aan>nsfers from an class="hi2">aan>bove to below, from "those who temporan class="hi2">aan>rily han class="hi2">aan>ve more to those who temporan class="hi2">aan>rily han class="hi2">aan>ve less", since "miran class="hi2">aan>cles supply an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck", is an class="hi2">aan> blessing of love an class="hi2">aan>nd life an class="hi2">aan>nd clan class="hi2">aan>rity an class="hi2">aan>nd power, which corrects the mind of the student an class="hi2">aan>nd clan class="hi2">aan>rifies whan class="hi2">aan>t is true.

In generan class="hi2">aan>l lan class="hi2">aan>nguan class="hi2">aan>ge, most people think of an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle an class="hi2">aan>s something than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens than class="hi2">aan>t's very unlikely, highly improban class="hi2">aan>bly, extran class="hi2">aan>ordinan class="hi2">aan>ry in its seeming man class="hi2">aan>rvel an class="hi2">aan>t bringing an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan> solution or resolving some problem.

We an class="hi2">aan>re quite literan class="hi2">aan>lly NOT an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l body. We an class="hi2">aan>re spirit beings, man class="hi2">aan>de of God-stuff. The body is NOT an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of our self.

But tan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> look an class="hi2">aan>t the world, look an class="hi2">aan>t how everyone is an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys focused on bodies, regan class="hi2">aan>rds bodies an class="hi2">aan>s people, refers to bodies by nan class="hi2">aan>me, an class="hi2">aan>nd how we an class="hi2">aan>ll seem to be very IDENTIFIED WITH the body.
Even from birth an class="hi2">aan>nd through childhood, we're told than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> boy or an class="hi2">aan> girl, or an class="hi2">aan> human class="hi2">aan>n being, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t our body is our self.

This isn't man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>ny ean class="hi2">aan>sier by the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t the body ITSELF man class="hi2">aan>kes the world seem very rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd thus man class="hi2">aan>kes ITSELF seem very rean class="hi2">aan>l.

Pan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd sensan class="hi2">aan>tions confirm it.
Everyone's looking in mirrors an class="hi2">aan>t "how they look". Everyone's tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t other "people" look like.

A forgiven world cannot last

"To forgive is to OVERLOOK"
"Forgiveness recognizes whan class="hi2">aan>t you thought your brother did to you han class="hi2">aan>s not occurred. It does not pan class="hi2">aan>rdon sins an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ke them rean class="hi2">aan>l. It sees there wan class="hi2">aan>s no sin. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in this view an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll your sins forgiven."
"Forgiveness through the Holy Spirit lies simply in looking beyond error from the beginning, an class="hi2">aan>nd thus KEEPING it unrean class="hi2">aan>l for you. Do not let an class="hi2">aan>ny belief in its rean class="hi2">aan>lness enter your minds an class="hi2">Aan>T an class="hi2">Aan>LL, or you will an class="hi2">aan>lso believe than class="hi2">aan>t you must UNDO whan class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve man class="hi2">aan>de, in order to BE forgiven"
"an class="hi2">Aan> forgiven world can class="hi2">aan>nnot lan class="hi2">aan>st."
"He who would not forgive must judge, to justify his fan class="hi2">aan>ilure to forgive."
The function of forgiveness, is to look beyond error from the stan class="hi2">aan>rt, an class="hi2">aan>s pro-an class="hi2">aan>ctive "fore-giving", an class="hi2">aan> giving of love which recognizes innocence an class="hi2">aan>nd does not an class="hi2">aan>llow the mind to Man class="hi2">Aan>KE an class="hi2">aan>n error. Forgiveness is the perception in which errors an class="hi2">aan>re not seen an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, becan class="hi2">aan>use the mind is not man class="hi2">aan>king or projecting errors itself, an class="hi2">aan>nd so this "pro-an class="hi2">aan>ctive" an class="hi2">aan>ttitude sustan class="hi2">aan>ins an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te where there is no error, ie there is no sin, an class="hi2">aan>nd so long an class="hi2">aan>s you stan class="hi2">aan>y focused on this you will not produce an class="hi2">aan>ny.
If you slip up an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>il to forgive, you will man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>n error. You will go into the belief in "sin is rean class="hi2">aan>l". an class="hi2">Aan>nd by going into it, you will use judgement to try to explan class="hi2">aan>in (justify) why you couldn't be forgiving. e.g. than class="hi2">aan>t someone "rean class="hi2">aan>lly did this or than class="hi2">aan>t", can class="hi2">aan>lling for you to "han class="hi2">aan>ve to" be justified in judging due to whan class="hi2">aan>t you think han class="hi2">aan>ppened. But whan class="hi2">aan>t you think "han class="hi2">aan>ppened" is an class="hi2">aan>n error in judgement, an class="hi2">aan>n error in your own perception. an class="hi2">Aan>n error than class="hi2">aan>t your own mind man class="hi2">aan>de-up, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result of lean class="hi2">aan>ving the stan class="hi2">aan>te of forgiveness.
The Holy Spirit therefore does not Man class="hi2">Aan>KE errors, or produce perception of sin, an class="hi2">aan>nd so perceives only than class="hi2">aan>t there is no sin. He looks pan class="hi2">aan>st errors to the truth, using rean class="hi2">aan>son. This form of sight literan class="hi2">aan>lly "overlooks", an class="hi2">aan>s in, DOES NOT SEE, errors an class="hi2">aan>nywhere, an class="hi2">aan>s if the errors (if they were to exist) han class="hi2">aan>ve become totan class="hi2">aan>lly tran class="hi2">aan>nspan class="hi2">aan>rent an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>red. He looks only to the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ an class="hi2">aan>nd innocence an class="hi2">aan>nd recognizes than class="hi2">aan>t there literan class="hi2">aan>lly IS no ego, becan class="hi2">aan>use there IS no error or sin, an class="hi2">aan>nd the "forms of error" which the body's eyes look an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n't see pan class="hi2">aan>st (physican class="hi2">aan>l objects) an class="hi2">aan>re overlooked entirely.
The world, an class="hi2">aan>s referred to in "the forgiven world", than class="hi2">aan>t being simply Ean class="hi2">aan>rth an class="hi2">aan>nd the rest of this universe, IS an class="hi2">Aan>N ILLUSION, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is the form of error. To look an class="hi2">aan>t it is to be blinded by perception of form. To look pan class="hi2">aan>st it is to overlook it an class="hi2">aan>nd see beyond it. In this wan class="hi2">aan>y, forgiveness literan class="hi2">aan>lly overlooks the world entirely, forgets the world, ignores physican class="hi2">aan>l objects, an class="hi2">aan>nd looks pan class="hi2">aan>st it to the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ.

When you identify WITH the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion device, you believe you an class="hi2">Aan>RE DEFINED BY the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion device.

This "an class="hi2">aan>uthority problem" wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ct of trying to Can class="hi2">Aan>USE GOD.
God is can class="hi2">aan>use. You an class="hi2">aan>re God's effect. God did gran class="hi2">aan>nt you the power to can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd crean class="hi2">aan>te, but He did NOT gran class="hi2">aan>nt you the power to can class="hi2">aan>use HIM.
The entire sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd everything than class="hi2">aan>t followed from it, wan class="hi2">aan>s formed on the ban class="hi2">aan>sis of this belief than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re willing an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst God's will, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore God's will is outside/sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te/externan class="hi2">aan>l to your will an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>cting an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will.
This is the idean class="hi2">aan> of sin. Than class="hi2">aan>t you could can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore produce EFFECTS in God, to hurt Him, to chan class="hi2">aan>nge His mind, to man class="hi2">aan>ke Him not love you an class="hi2">aan>nymore, or to destroy Him, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve in fan class="hi2">aan>ct been can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of doing this with "rean class="hi2">aan>l effects".
This wan class="hi2">aan>s the beginning point of an class="hi2">aan>ll drean class="hi2">aan>ming.
It's an class="hi2">aan>ll entirely becan class="hi2">aan>use you tried to stop being the effect of God an class="hi2">aan>nd to instean class="hi2">aan>d can class="hi2">aan>use God.
Let's describe than class="hi2">aan>t in terms of levels. The higher level is can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l (God). The lower level is effect (You/Son of God). You an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>s God crean class="hi2">aan>ted you, an class="hi2">aan>s God intended, an class="hi2">aan>s God willed. When you, who an class="hi2">aan>re on the lower level, an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to Can class="hi2">Aan>USE the higher level to chan class="hi2">aan>nge, this is LEVEL CONFUSION. It is the an class="hi2">aan>uthority problem. It is the belief in man class="hi2">aan>gic. It is the belief in an class="hi2">aan>n externan class="hi2">aan>l will. It is the source of an class="hi2">Aan>LL SICKNESS. Eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly to will so strongly an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your own can class="hi2">aan>use, an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst God, is to deny God an class="hi2">aan>nd deny life, an class="hi2">aan>nd results in DEan class="hi2">Aan>TH.
This an class="hi2">aan>ll comes from reversing whan class="hi2">aan>t the Course can class="hi2">aan>lls the "divine order". The proper sequence of crean class="hi2">aan>tion. Can class="hi2">aan>use produces effects, not the other wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>round. The world than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re in now, is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan> "level", an class="hi2">aan>nd it is being can class="hi2">aan>used by an class="hi2">aan> higher level. It is an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m-effect or an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l mind "an class="hi2">aan>bove" this world. Everything in this world is an class="hi2">aan>n effect, not an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use. But when an class="hi2">aan>nything in this world is given properties of "can class="hi2">aan>using" or "willing" or "man class="hi2">aan>king effects han class="hi2">aan>ppen", than class="hi2">aan>t is LEVEL CONFUSION an class="hi2">aan>lso, an class="hi2">aan>nother lan class="hi2">aan>yer of it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is the source of an class="hi2">aan>ll our suffering.
Everything in your life than class="hi2">aan>t you "need to forgive", is Ban class="hi2">Aan>SED ON this san class="hi2">aan>me dynan class="hi2">aan>mic. Every upset you han class="hi2">aan>ve. Every perception than class="hi2">aan>t someone is an class="hi2">aan>cting an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will. Every form of victimhood. an class="hi2">Aan>ll stan class="hi2">aan>tes of sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th. Every an class="hi2">aan>rgument. Every conflict or wan class="hi2">aan>r. an class="hi2">Aan>ll specian class="hi2">aan>l relan class="hi2">aan>tionships. Every pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the ego thought system is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on this reversan class="hi2">aan>l of can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity. "an class="hi2">Aan>ll sickness is the result of confusing the levels". Whenever something "below" or an class="hi2">aan>n "effect" is believed to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>bility to Can class="hi2">Aan>USE, than class="hi2">aan>t is level confusion, it is mentan class="hi2">aan>l illness, it is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion, it is fan class="hi2">aan>lse, it is ego, an class="hi2">aan>nd it encan class="hi2">aan>psulan class="hi2">aan>tes the entire ego thought system.
It can class="hi2">aan>uses you to "perceive" than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>use is outside of you, can class="hi2">aan>using an class="hi2">Aan>Gan class="hi2">Aan>INST you. This is becan class="hi2">aan>use instean class="hi2">aan>d of God flowing into you from "behind", an class="hi2">aan>nd you extending it outwan class="hi2">aan>rd an class="hi2">aan>nd "forwan class="hi2">aan>rd", you han class="hi2">aan>ve instean class="hi2">aan>d turned an class="hi2">aan>round an class="hi2">aan>nd tan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>nd "an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst" God's outflowing will, to try to will in the other direction, to STOP God's will. Like an class="hi2">aan> rock in an class="hi2">aan> river trying to stop the flow. an class="hi2">Aan>LL your suffering an class="hi2">aan>nd problems come from this.
So to CORRECT IT, to "an class="hi2">aan>pply forgiveness" an class="hi2">aan>s we like to san class="hi2">aan>y, you ONLY need to correct this one fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>l error in the dynan class="hi2">aan>mic. You need to re-reversed can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect so than class="hi2">aan>t the levels an class="hi2">aan>re in their proper ORDER, an class="hi2">aan>nd so than class="hi2">aan>t you recognize yourself an class="hi2">aan>s the effect of God, so than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst God's will, an class="hi2">aan>nd thereby do not perceive than class="hi2">aan>t there is an class="hi2">aan> will an class="hi2">aan>cting an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst you.
Than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>lso mean class="hi2">aan>ns you no longer perceiving or believing than class="hi2">aan>t there is an class="hi2">aan> "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te can class="hi2">aan>use" outside of you, or an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use in the world, or an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use on an class="hi2">aan> lower level, or an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use in the body, or an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use in other people, or an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use in lan class="hi2">aan>ws of physics in the environment, or an class="hi2">aan>ny other externan class="hi2">aan>lized can class="hi2">aan>use. Can class="hi2">aan>use is IN YOU. God is IN YOUR MIND, so Can class="hi2">aan>use is in your mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd your mind is the effect of GOD an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing else.
Every situan class="hi2">aan>tion in your life which seems like 1000 DIFFERENT problems with different dynan class="hi2">aan>mics an class="hi2">aan>nd issues an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>ctions an class="hi2">aan>nd emotions an class="hi2">aan>nd so on.... an class="hi2">aan>ll those differences an class="hi2">aan>re illusions COVERING UP the simple CORE THREan class="hi2">Aan>D which is the San class="hi2">Aan>ME in an class="hi2">aan>ll of them. Than class="hi2">aan>t is, somehow, you han class="hi2">aan>ve become mistan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan>n effect. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so now you see can class="hi2">aan>uses an class="hi2">aan>s doing stuff to you an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will, when they an class="hi2">aan>re not. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you've turned yourself into an class="hi2">aan>n effect of the world, instean class="hi2">aan>d of the can class="hi2">aan>use of it. This san class="hi2">aan>me simple concept runs through EVERY FORGIVENESS LESSON.
Now, before you can class="hi2">aan>n undo this problem in rean class="hi2">aan>l life situan class="hi2">aan>tions, or even recognize it in your upsetting situan class="hi2">aan>tions, you need to recognize something.
The ego han class="hi2">aan>s invented its own idean class="hi2">aan> of can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect. It believes than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>uses an class="hi2">aan>nd effects an class="hi2">aan>re "horizontan class="hi2">aan>l". This han class="hi2">aan>s resulted in "horizontan class="hi2">aan>l perception". Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns, it believes an class="hi2">aan>nd perceives than class="hi2">aan>t something in the world on this san class="hi2">aan>me "level", han class="hi2">aan>s the an class="hi2">aan>bility to "can class="hi2">aan>use" something else on this san class="hi2">aan>me level, an class="hi2">aan>nd produce effects in it. So now it seems possible than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>n object can class="hi2">aan>n produce an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>ction in an class="hi2">aan>nother object, an class="hi2">aan> person can class="hi2">aan>n come an class="hi2">aan>long an class="hi2">aan>nd hurt you, someone can class="hi2">aan>n be to blan class="hi2">aan>me for doing something to you etc. Can class="hi2">aan>uses an class="hi2">aan>nd effects an class="hi2">aan>re seen an class="hi2">aan>s linean class="hi2">aan>r on the horizontan class="hi2">aan>l plan class="hi2">aan>ne, or sidewan class="hi2">aan>ys. This is totan class="hi2">aan>lly opposite to the truth, which is than class="hi2">aan>t the HIGHER level is the only can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd the LOWER level (this world) is ENTIRELY EFFECT.
So pan class="hi2">aan>rt of whan class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve to rean class="hi2">aan>lize is, this world does not contan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>ny rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>uses an class="hi2">Aan>T an class="hi2">Aan>LL. It is an class="hi2">aan>ll effect. It is an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan>ll the effect of you drean class="hi2">aan>ming from an class="hi2">aan> higher level. It doesn't man class="hi2">aan>tter how it an class="hi2">Aan>PPEan class="hi2">Aan>RS, than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use is outside you on this san class="hi2">aan>me level. There an class="hi2">aan>re NO Can class="hi2">Aan>USES IN THE WORLD. There an class="hi2">aan>re no can class="hi2">aan>uses in your body. There an class="hi2">aan>re no can class="hi2">aan>uses in other people doing stuff. There an class="hi2">aan>re no can class="hi2">aan>uses in the environment. Can class="hi2">aan>use is on an class="hi2">aan> higher level, an class="hi2">aan>nd it's in your mind, "an class="hi2">aan>bove the ban class="hi2">aan>ttlefield."
The recognition than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity is VERTICan class="hi2">Aan>L, results in whan class="hi2">aan>t the course can class="hi2">aan>lls "vertican class="hi2">aan>l perception." It an class="hi2">aan>lso san class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan> sudden shift from horizontan class="hi2">aan>l to vertican class="hi2">aan>l perception is required in order to produce an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re expressions of VERTICan class="hi2">Aan>L Can class="hi2">Aan>USan class="hi2">Aan>LITY in which the levels an class="hi2">aan>re in their proper order, there is no level confusion, there is no belief in something in the world can class="hi2">aan>using something else, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore the higher level which Man class="hi2">Aan>DE the word can class="hi2">aan>n CHan class="hi2">Aan>NGE it in totan class="hi2">aan>l defian class="hi2">aan>nce of an class="hi2">aan>ny illusory lan class="hi2">aan>ws or horizontan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>use-effect relan class="hi2">aan>tionships. This produces supernan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l miran class="hi2">aan>cles which an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>BOVE (super) the "nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l" (nan class="hi2">aan>ture) of the horizontan class="hi2">aan>l illusion an class="hi2">aan>nd prove through demonstran class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>use-effect on this level is ENTIRELY an class="hi2">Aan>T THE EFFECT OF YOUR MIND.
So whan class="hi2">aan>t you're going to need to do in an class="hi2">aan>n everydan class="hi2">aan>y upsetting situan class="hi2">aan>tion, something you "need to forgive", is UNDO BELIEF IN horizontan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect, so than class="hi2">aan>t you Can class="hi2">Aan>N SHIFT to an class="hi2">aan> vertican class="hi2">aan>l perception, in which God is can class="hi2">aan>use, you an class="hi2">aan>re His effect, an class="hi2">aan>nd YOU an class="hi2">Aan>RE THE Can class="hi2">Aan>USE OF THIS WORLD than class="hi2">aan>t you're drean class="hi2">aan>ming.
Recognize therefore than class="hi2">aan>t the ego INVENTS the idean class="hi2">aan> of being can class="hi2">aan>used by things outside of you on this san class="hi2">aan>me level. It is never true. This forms an class="hi2">aan> kind of fictionan class="hi2">aan>l "connection", mentan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>nd energetican class="hi2">aan>lly, between you an class="hi2">aan>nd other people. You perceive an class="hi2">aan>nd believe they, or the environment, or you food, or events, or the body, can class="hi2">aan>n "can class="hi2">aan>use you". This is Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE. So whan class="hi2">aan>t you need to do is COLLan class="hi2">Aan>PSE the ego's horizontan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>use-effect beliefs an class="hi2">aan>nd relan class="hi2">aan>tionships. Can class="hi2">aan>ncel them out, sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te them out, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>ds to an class="hi2">aan> pretty simple goan class="hi2">aan>l:
Recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t there is NO Can class="hi2">Aan>USE OR EFFECT between an class="hi2">aan>ny two things in this world. This whole world is an class="hi2">aan>n EFFECT of your mind ON an class="hi2">Aan> HIGHER LEVEL. an class="hi2">Aan>nd therefore you an class="hi2">aan>re NOT ON THIS LEVEL, you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>BOVE IT.
So whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to do is effectively "SEPan class="hi2">Aan>Ran class="hi2">Aan>TE" can class="hi2">aan>use from effect on this level. It's like two boxers in an class="hi2">aan> ring who an class="hi2">aan>re fighting, you need to sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te them, get them ban class="hi2">aan>ck to their corners, an class="hi2">aan>nd stop them from an class="hi2">aan>ffecting ean class="hi2">aan>ch other. Brean class="hi2">aan>k them up. Put an class="hi2">aan> Gan class="hi2">Aan>P between the horizontan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>uses an class="hi2">aan>nd the horizontan class="hi2">aan>l effects so than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n believe an class="hi2">aan>nd perceive than class="hi2">aan>t YOU an class="hi2">Aan>RE NOT an class="hi2">Aan>T THE EFFECT of an class="hi2">aan>nything in this world.
The only wan class="hi2">aan>y you can class="hi2">aan>n believe an class="hi2">aan>nd perceive than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>t the effect of an class="hi2">aan>nything in this world, is to not believe in Can class="hi2">Aan>USES in this world, of an class="hi2">aan>ny kind, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore to shift into an class="hi2">aan> VERTICan class="hi2">Aan>L perception which is miran class="hi2">aan>culous, which recognizes than class="hi2">aan>t this ENTIRE WORLD is man class="hi2">aan>de up, its an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, it wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>t once, an class="hi2">aan>nd every ILLUSION of can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity or effects were man class="hi2">aan>de TOGETHER simultan class="hi2">aan>neously. There an class="hi2">Aan>RE no rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>uses here.
I like to do this with an class="hi2">aan> simple process of "correcting idean class="hi2">aan>s" something like this:
You did not can class="hi2">aan>use me. I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan>t the effect of you. You han class="hi2">aan>ve not man class="hi2">aan>de me upset. You an class="hi2">aan>re not the one who an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked me. You did not do an class="hi2">aan>nything to me. You han class="hi2">aan>ve no power over me. I an class="hi2">aan>m free of you. You an class="hi2">aan>re not the source of my upset. Everything I an class="hi2">aan>m experiencing I han class="hi2">aan>ve chosen. These feelings an class="hi2">aan>re my own. This hurt is something I put there myself. I an class="hi2">aan>m responsible for everything I an class="hi2">aan>m experiencing. It's got nothing to do with you. I must've wan class="hi2">aan>nted to experience this. I chose this myself an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan> wrong decision an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n choose an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in.
Notice regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of the words you use, than class="hi2">aan>t there is only ONE THING han class="hi2">aan>ppening here over an class="hi2">aan>nd over. I an class="hi2">aan>m CUTTING TIES between myself an class="hi2">aan>nd the other person. These an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>RTIFICIan class="hi2">Aan>L ties of horizontan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>uses an class="hi2">aan>nd effects. They an class="hi2">aan>re not rean class="hi2">aan>l or true an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. I an class="hi2">aan>m SEPan class="hi2">Aan>Ran class="hi2">Aan>TING MYSELF from the "fictionan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>uses" so than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan>t their effect. You could express this an class="hi2">aan> 1000 different wan class="hi2">aan>ys, whan class="hi2">aan>tever words or an class="hi2">aan>spects you need to use to brean class="hi2">aan>k up an class="hi2">aan>ll of your personan class="hi2">aan>l perceptuan class="hi2">aan>l errors an class="hi2">aan>nd beliefs in how something is an class="hi2">aan>ffecting you.
But note than class="hi2">aan>t in order to FULLY Can class="hi2">Aan>NCEL the ego's illusion of horizontan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity, you need to an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>pply this san class="hi2">aan>me set of clan class="hi2">aan>rifican class="hi2">aan>tions to the other person or can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>s well. This helps to "ban class="hi2">aan>lan class="hi2">aan>nce it out" or to complete the undoing of an class="hi2">aan>ny other beliefs or perceptions which you might han class="hi2">aan>ve such an class="hi2">aan>s than class="hi2">aan>t YOU an class="hi2">aan>ffected the other person, resulting in guilt etc. This rean class="hi2">aan>lly helps to clean class="hi2">aan>n up an class="hi2">aan>ny possible effects which han class="hi2">aan>ve come from whan class="hi2">aan>t you fan class="hi2">aan>lsely experienced. For exan class="hi2">aan>mple:
I did not can class="hi2">aan>use you. You an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>t the effect of me. II han class="hi2">aan>ve not man class="hi2">aan>de you upset. I an class="hi2">aan>m not the one who an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked you. I did not do an class="hi2">aan>nything to you. I han class="hi2">aan>ve no power over you. You an class="hi2">aan>re free of me. I an class="hi2">aan>m not the source of your upset. Everything you an class="hi2">aan>re experiencing you han class="hi2">aan>ve chosen. Your feelings an class="hi2">aan>re your own. Your hurt is something you put there yourself. YOU an class="hi2">aan>re responsible for everything you an class="hi2">aan>re experiencing. It's got nothing to do with me. You must've wan class="hi2">aan>nted to experience this. You chose this yourself an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan> wrong decision an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n choose an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in.
When you do this, you BREan class="hi2">Aan>K the ego's chan class="hi2">aan>in of fan class="hi2">aan>ke can class="hi2">aan>uses an class="hi2">aan>nd effects on the horizontan class="hi2">aan>l level. Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns you an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly will no longer believe or perceive or experience than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>NY Can class="hi2">Aan>USES on this level an class="hi2">aan>ffecting you. While this is still an class="hi2">aan> horizontan class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>te of perception, it an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly lan class="hi2">aan>ys the groundwork for you being an class="hi2">aan>ble to then shift into VERTICan class="hi2">Aan>L perception. You man class="hi2">aan>y be still in the world not an class="hi2">aan>ffected by the world, but now you need to position yourself an class="hi2">Aan>BOVE the world, an class="hi2">aan>bove the ban class="hi2">aan>ttlefield.
You got into your right mind, now you need to get into the ONE mind. So if there an class="hi2">aan>re no can class="hi2">aan>uses in the world than class="hi2">aan>t you believe in, this man class="hi2">aan>kes it pretty ean class="hi2">aan>sy to then recognize you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>BOVE, in terms of levels an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity, the divine order is re-estan class="hi2">aan>blished, the levels an class="hi2">aan>re in their proper sequence, an class="hi2">aan>nd you recognize than class="hi2">aan>t everything in this world is an class="hi2">Aan>N EFFECT an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> HIGHER Can class="hi2">Aan>USE.
This rean class="hi2">aan>dies you to be MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CULOUS. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles flow from an class="hi2">aan> higher level to an class="hi2">aan> lower level, like love or crean class="hi2">aan>tion does. God can class="hi2">aan>uses you, you an class="hi2">aan>re the miran class="hi2">aan>cle of God. You then can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan> level below yourself, an class="hi2">aan>nd these an class="hi2">aan>re your miran class="hi2">aan>cles. When your higher mind Can class="hi2">Aan>USES effects in the lower level of this world, these produce SUPERNan class="hi2">Aan>TURan class="hi2">Aan>L EFFECTS. This is whan class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>bout. an class="hi2">Aan> higher level can class="hi2">aan>using an class="hi2">aan> lower level an class="hi2">aan>nd proving than class="hi2">aan>t the lower level is nothing but an class="hi2">aan>n effect of the mind - than class="hi2">aan>t mind han class="hi2">aan>s totan class="hi2">aan>l power OVER it.
This more or less is an class="hi2">Aan>LL you need to do. If you can class="hi2">aan>n rean class="hi2">aan>lly go deep with this, it will undo an class="hi2">aan>ll your fan class="hi2">aan>lse perceptions, your upset, your stress, your emotionan class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>ctions, your fean class="hi2">aan>rs, your obsessive thinking which can class="hi2">aan>n't let go of the situan class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd it will bring you ban class="hi2">aan>ck to pean class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">Aan>ND empowerment. Then you an class="hi2">aan>re in an class="hi2">aan> position to an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPT THE an class="hi2">Aan>TONEMENT by recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re the effect of God, you an class="hi2">aan>ccept than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re STILL an class="hi2">aan>s God crean class="hi2">aan>ted you, God han class="hi2">aan>s NOT been an class="hi2">aan>ffected or chan class="hi2">aan>nged, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore is not willing an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst you.
This process an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS WORKS to undo ego becan class="hi2">aan>use it an class="hi2">aan>ddresses THE ENTIRE EGO THOUGHT SYSTEM an class="hi2">aan>t its foundan class="hi2">aan>tion. There is not one pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the ego than class="hi2">aan>t escan class="hi2">aan>pes this, becan class="hi2">aan>use the ego is Ban class="hi2">Aan>SED ON the reversan class="hi2">aan>l of can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect, so the correction of can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect can class="hi2">aan>ncels out the entire ego. Therefore it can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>pplied to EVERY situan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd will an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys lean class="hi2">aan>d you ban class="hi2">aan>ck to truth.
Try it.
We can class="hi2">aan>n perhan class="hi2">aan>ps summan class="hi2">aan>rize this wan class="hi2">aan>y:
God can class="hi2">aan>uses me.
I han class="hi2">aan>ve not can class="hi2">aan>used God.
I an class="hi2">aan>m the effect of God.
I an class="hi2">aan>m the can class="hi2">aan>use of whan class="hi2">aan>t I man class="hi2">aan>de/projected/crean class="hi2">aan>ted.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t I man class="hi2">aan>de/drean class="hi2">aan>med is not the can class="hi2">aan>use of me.
Therefore I an class="hi2">aan>m still an class="hi2">aan>s God crean class="hi2">aan>ted me.

A world filled with pointless possessions

Han class="hi2">aan>ve you ever noticed than class="hi2">aan>t the physican class="hi2">aan>l form or shan class="hi2">aan>pe of objects, is touted an class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>king something "unique", but rean class="hi2">aan>lly they're an class="hi2">aan>ll the san class="hi2">aan>me thing?
In the compan class="hi2">aan>ny I work for I han class="hi2">aan>ve to an class="hi2">aan>dd thousan class="hi2">aan>nds of products to an class="hi2">aan> website, an class="hi2">aan>nd so I see an class="hi2">aan>ll these van class="hi2">aan>rian class="hi2">aan>tions on an class="hi2">aan> theme.
Then I find myself an class="hi2">aan>sking myself, why would an class="hi2">aan>nyone wan class="hi2">aan>nt to han class="hi2">aan>ve 3000 different types of this item? One with an class="hi2">aan> little but of an class="hi2">aan> more rounded look, one with more fan class="hi2">aan>ncy bits, one in an class="hi2">aan> different color, one with shiny metan class="hi2">aan>l on it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd compan class="hi2">aan>nies an class="hi2">aan>re churning out these products by the thousan class="hi2">aan>nds an class="hi2">aan>s if they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll importan class="hi2">aan>nt an class="hi2">aan>nd worth han class="hi2">aan>ving. We han class="hi2">aan>ve become quite obsessed with possession of such cran class="hi2">aan>p.
an class="hi2">Aan>fter an class="hi2">aan> while I become completely disillusioned, which is an class="hi2">aan> good thing.
The human class="hi2">aan>n ran class="hi2">aan>ce han class="hi2">aan>s become rean class="hi2">aan>lly good an class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>nipulan class="hi2">aan>ting forms, designing objects, an class="hi2">aan>nd crean class="hi2">aan>ting an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces of differences. The explosion of "crean class="hi2">aan>ting" (man class="hi2">aan>king stuff) is on an class="hi2">aan> roll.
Since the industrian class="hi2">aan>l revolution especian class="hi2">aan>lly we've rean class="hi2">aan>lly gone wild exploring every conceivan class="hi2">aan>ble "version" of the san class="hi2">aan>me thing, every wan class="hi2">aan>y to tan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>ge of man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l properties an class="hi2">aan>nd differences, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll the different forms we can class="hi2">aan>n come up with.
an class="hi2">Aan>man class="hi2">aan>zon now sells an class="hi2">aan>lmost han class="hi2">aan>lf an class="hi2">aan> billion products, an class="hi2">aan>nd most of them an class="hi2">aan>re just van class="hi2">aan>rian class="hi2">aan>tions on an class="hi2">aan> theme. There an class="hi2">aan>re now 60,000 t-shirts for san class="hi2">aan>le. Do you rean class="hi2">aan>lly think the differences between these t-shirt is SO Van class="hi2">Aan>ST than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll completely unique? How man class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>re there to cover up the upper torso?
This is something of an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>dness which human class="hi2">aan>nity han class="hi2">aan>s pursued an class="hi2">aan>nd doesn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly know how to stop pursuing. This notion than class="hi2">aan>t if the form is different, it is an class="hi2">aan> unique thing. some forms or shan class="hi2">aan>pes an class="hi2">aan>re more desiran class="hi2">aan>ble, an class="hi2">aan>nd finding the "best ones" is some kind of san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion. This is mentan class="hi2">aan>l illness.
Unique tools an class="hi2">aan>re needed to solve unique problems. The ego loves this. It loves to crean class="hi2">aan>te new an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces of unique situan class="hi2">aan>tions which can class="hi2">aan>ll for an class="hi2">aan> custom solution which is nothing like an class="hi2">aan>ny other solution, does not extend to solve an class="hi2">aan>ny other problem, an class="hi2">aan>nd keeps the solution isolan class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>nd limited to this one need.
This belief than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll forms an class="hi2">aan>re unique an class="hi2">aan>nd different an class="hi2">aan>nd worth existing, is the ego's insan class="hi2">aan>nity. Exan class="hi2">aan>ctly why do we need 60,000 t-shirts, or 100,000 different kinds of trousers, or an class="hi2">aan> million songs?
You might san class="hi2">aan>y well, this is human class="hi2">aan>n nan class="hi2">aan>ture, to crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd express an class="hi2">aan>nd explore. No, it's not. It's UNNan class="hi2">Aan>TURan class="hi2">Aan>L.
Personan class="hi2">aan>lly I han class="hi2">aan>ve grown significan class="hi2">aan>ntly disillusioned with physican class="hi2">aan>l objects. To wan class="hi2">aan>nt to han class="hi2">aan>ve certan class="hi2">aan>in specian class="hi2">aan>l objects or toys or whan class="hi2">aan>tever, to try to receive their specian class="hi2">aan>lness or to think than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m somehow better off by choosing exan class="hi2">aan>ctly the right items.
I used to buy into the illusion of differences of form much more an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>nted to han class="hi2">aan>ve this item or than class="hi2">aan>t item or be very can class="hi2">aan>reful an class="hi2">aan>bout choosing. Now I can class="hi2">aan>re much less. Much more lan class="hi2">aan>id ban class="hi2">aan>ck in terms of how I think these things an class="hi2">aan>re going to san class="hi2">aan>ve me or how I need to han class="hi2">aan>ve the best this or than class="hi2">aan>t.
Sure it can class="hi2">aan>n be fun to shop, no han class="hi2">aan>rm done. But perceptuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>nd psychologican class="hi2">aan>lly, "civilized human class="hi2">aan>nity" han class="hi2">aan>s become lost in its obsession with forms - pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>rly the illusion of form, its an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces an class="hi2">aan>nd its specian class="hi2">aan>l isolan class="hi2">aan>ted different properties. This is an class="hi2">aan> huge world filled with junk.

A refresher on what forgiveness is

Ok's let's step ban class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd look an class="hi2">aan>t the big picture. God exists. God crean class="hi2">aan>ted the Kingdom of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, which comprises the sonship an class="hi2">aan>nd the Holy Spirit. You an class="hi2">aan>nd your brothers co-crean class="hi2">aan>te to an class="hi2">aan>dd to the Kingdom. The holy trinity is an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t rean class="hi2">aan>lly exists.
"Your crean class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>re your gift to the Holy Trinity, crean class="hi2">aan>ted in gran class="hi2">aan>titude for YOUR crean class="hi2">aan>tion."
"Through our crean class="hi2">aan>tions we extend our Love, an class="hi2">aan>nd thus increan class="hi2">aan>se the joy of the Holy Trinity."
"The Holy Trinity is holy BECan class="hi2">Aan>USE It is One."
Then there wan class="hi2">aan>s this thing we can class="hi2">aan>ll the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God, which is an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>d idean class="hi2">aan>. It's man class="hi2">aan>d becan class="hi2">aan>use it's not possible in rean class="hi2">aan>lity, so believing it is insan class="hi2">aan>ne. It's an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ken belief than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve become sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te through sin, when you han class="hi2">aan>ven't. This belief denies God an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore man class="hi2">aan>kes the an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of rean class="hi2">aan>lity unconscious to you. It induces an class="hi2">aan> kind of sleep stan class="hi2">aan>te where God seems to be denied.
Denian class="hi2">aan>l does not chan class="hi2">aan>nge the truth, nor does it an class="hi2">aan>ffect rean class="hi2">aan>lity in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y. It is merely an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to hide from it, by shutting it out of an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan>nd pretending it is not true. Denian class="hi2">aan>l in fan class="hi2">aan>ct implies than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s been denied IS STILL THERE, which is why denian class="hi2">aan>l contran class="hi2">aan>dicts itself.
"Whan class="hi2">aan>t seems to be the opposite of life is merely sleeping. When the mind elects to be whan class="hi2">aan>t it is not, an class="hi2">aan>nd to an class="hi2">aan>ssume an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>lien power which it does not han class="hi2">aan>ve, an class="hi2">aan> foreign stan class="hi2">aan>te it can class="hi2">aan>nnot enter, or an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse condition not within its Source, it merely seems to go to sleep an class="hi2">aan> while."
"The out of mind is out of sight, becan class="hi2">aan>use whan class="hi2">aan>t is denied is THERE, but is not recognized."
In this sleep stan class="hi2">aan>te we drean class="hi2">aan>m of an class="hi2">aan>n entire world whose nan class="hi2">aan>ture is completely opposite to hean class="hi2">aan>ven. an class="hi2">Aan> world of span class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd time an class="hi2">aan>nd gan class="hi2">aan>lan class="hi2">aan>xies an class="hi2">aan>nd plan class="hi2">aan>nets an class="hi2">aan>nd civilizan class="hi2">aan>tions.

"ean class="hi2">aan>rth the other's sorry outcome which is Hean class="hi2">aan>ven's opposite in every wan class="hi2">aan>y." "For this world IS the opposite of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, han class="hi2">aan>ving been man class="hi2">aan>de to BE its opposite. an class="hi2">Aan>nd EVERYTHING here tan class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan> direction EXan class="hi2">Aan>CTLY opposite to whan class="hi2">aan>t is true."
In the drean class="hi2">aan>m of span class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd time, it SEEMS like impossible things han class="hi2">aan>ppen. Sin occurs. Wan class="hi2">aan>rs occur.

The ONLY wan class="hi2">aan>y therefore to "forgive" whan class="hi2">aan>t's seeming to han class="hi2">aan>ppen, is to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t IT ISN'T.

"Forgiveness recognizes whan class="hi2">aan>t you thought your brother did to you han class="hi2">aan>s not occurred.

In order to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t you THINK your brother DID, han class="hi2">aan>s NOT OCCURRED ..... you han class="hi2">aan>ve to recognize this whole world is an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m.

There is no wan class="hi2">aan>r in God. There is no pan class="hi2">aan>in in God. There is no an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck in God. There is no conflict in God. There is no ownership in God. There is no invan class="hi2">aan>sion in God. There an class="hi2">aan>re no wean class="hi2">aan>pons in God. There is no lan class="hi2">aan>nd in God.

NONE of these things an class="hi2">aan>re POSSIBLE in God becan class="hi2">aan>use God is perman class="hi2">aan>nently perfect, his crean class="hi2">aan>tion is perfect, his children an class="hi2">aan>re perfect, an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing else is EVER true.
This is whan class="hi2">aan>t you need to see if you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to forgive an class="hi2">Aan>NYTHING in this world.

"There is no world." The ONLY wan class="hi2">aan>y it is forgiven is by recognizing it han class="hi2">aan>s no substan class="hi2">aan>nce, no van class="hi2">aan>lue, no importan class="hi2">aan>nce, no truth, no rean class="hi2">aan>lity, no existence.

Being a subservient little course-learner

For an class="hi2">aan> while I'd thought than class="hi2">aan>t by an class="hi2">aan>sking Holy Spirit to decide for or an class="hi2">aan>sking Jesus to decide, it mean class="hi2">aan>nt sort of an class="hi2">aan> 'giving up' of deciding.
Lan class="hi2">aan>tely especian class="hi2">aan>lly in light of free will I've been seeing it an class="hi2">aan> bit differently, than class="hi2">aan>t instean class="hi2">aan>d of sort of an class="hi2">aan> subservience or obedience, it could be looked an class="hi2">aan>t more an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> collan class="hi2">aan>boran class="hi2">aan>tion or joint an class="hi2">aan>greement kind of thing.
e.g. "Todan class="hi2">aan>y I will man class="hi2">aan>ke no decisions by myself".... could mean class="hi2">aan>n, let someone entirely sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te do an class="hi2">aan>ll deciding. OR it could mean class="hi2">aan>n, man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> decision WITH guidan class="hi2">aan>nce. The course does san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t guidan class="hi2">aan>nce is not coercive, it is only supposed to point you in the right direction an class="hi2">aan>nd it's up to YOU to FOLLOW the guidan class="hi2">aan>nce willingly.
I think in an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y, the wan class="hi2">aan>y I wan class="hi2">aan>s doing this before wan class="hi2">aan>s somewhan class="hi2">aan>t San class="hi2">Aan>CRIFICIan class="hi2">Aan>L, in than class="hi2">aan>t I would an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to put "an class="hi2">aan>ll responsibility" into their han class="hi2">aan>nds. The course does san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t if you choose with Jesus an class="hi2">aan>nd your will is IN an class="hi2">Aan>CCORD with His, there can class="hi2">aan>n be no fean class="hi2">aan>r, but it does not san class="hi2">aan>y like... "do whan class="hi2">aan>tever Jesus tells you you must do". Jesus in fan class="hi2">aan>ct often tells me "you an class="hi2">aan>re free". He does not impose upon my free will. Becan class="hi2">aan>use I used to view Jesus an class="hi2">aan>nd Holy Spirit an class="hi2">aan>s even more of an class="hi2">aan> kind of tyran class="hi2">aan>nt or "an class="hi2">aan>uthority" or dominan class="hi2">aan>ting power, I would become quite an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>nd reluctan class="hi2">aan>nt to chan class="hi2">aan>nnel or write their words etc, turning it into an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>rduous tan class="hi2">aan>sk, precisely becan class="hi2">aan>use I thought I wan class="hi2">aan>s serving some kind of powerful dominan class="hi2">aan>nt being.
This kind of thinking of sort of "surrendering self" an class="hi2">aan>nd being an class="hi2">aan> slan class="hi2">aan>ve or servan class="hi2">aan>nt to some higher decider, wan class="hi2">aan>s I think pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the "one son, one self, one mind, one will, one drean class="hi2">aan>mer" bullshit pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>digm tan class="hi2">aan>ught by others, which I bought into before. an class="hi2">Aan>ll the implican class="hi2">aan>tions of "you han class="hi2">aan>ve no self" an class="hi2">aan>nd "you do not exist" an class="hi2">aan>nd "there is no one else" etc Can class="hi2">Aan>N lean class="hi2">aan>d to these kind of interpretan class="hi2">aan>tions, than class="hi2">aan>t you simply han class="hi2">aan>ve to sort of "die" an class="hi2">aan>nd put an class="hi2">aan>side an class="hi2">aan>ll of your own will or decision-man class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>nd it over to someone else.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t I see now, especian class="hi2">aan>lly in light of God clean class="hi2">aan>rly han class="hi2">aan>ving crean class="hi2">aan>ted man class="hi2">aan>ny souls/sons an class="hi2">aan>nd giving ean class="hi2">aan>ch free will, is quite an class="hi2">aan> different picture, than class="hi2">aan>t while Jesus is an class="hi2">aan>n older brother an class="hi2">aan>nd is due respect for his position an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccomplishment, he is still an class="hi2">aan> brother. He an class="hi2">aan>lso spean class="hi2">aan>ks of how we an class="hi2">aan>re not to an class="hi2">aan>we him, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lso how he is equan class="hi2">aan>l with us in our an class="hi2">aan>we of God, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t there is nothing he han class="hi2">aan>s than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>nnot an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>in.
This sounds an class="hi2">aan> lot more like EQUan class="hi2">Aan>LITY than class="hi2">aan>n it does being dominan class="hi2">aan>ted or submissive or under the thumb or obedient in an class="hi2">aan> kind of... "becan class="hi2">aan>use I don't man class="hi2">aan>tter" kind of man class="hi2">aan>nner. I'm finding MORE freedom an class="hi2">aan>nd MORE willingness to trust an class="hi2">aan>nd open up to this guidan class="hi2">aan>nce BY an class="hi2">Aan>CKNOWLEDGING my free will an class="hi2">aan>nd recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t Jesus an class="hi2">aan>cknowledges it an class="hi2">aan>lso. Thus there is less FEan class="hi2">Aan>R involved in "han class="hi2">aan>ving to do" whan class="hi2">aan>tever comman class="hi2">aan>ndment comes down from hean class="hi2">aan>ven in an class="hi2">aan> lightning bolt. Without than class="hi2">aan>t pressure or coercion or sense of God's impending punishment if you don't comply, there is much less to FEan class="hi2">Aan>R an class="hi2">aan>nd thus fan class="hi2">aan>r grean class="hi2">aan>ter WILLINGNESS to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly trust the guidan class="hi2">aan>nce an class="hi2">aan>nd follow it freely!
So much more freeing an class="hi2">aan>nd mutuan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd cooperan class="hi2">aan>tive than class="hi2">aan>n I used to think wan class="hi2">aan>s possible or intended.

Lessons are a curriculum of healing

an class="hi2">Aan>t times I get this sense than class="hi2">aan>t when "life lessons" come an class="hi2">aan>long, they an class="hi2">aan>re not so much "optionan class="hi2">aan>l lessons" or just pan class="hi2">aan>infully difficult tran class="hi2">aan>ils an class="hi2">aan>nd struggles,, but ran class="hi2">aan>ther, than class="hi2">aan>t situan class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>nd circumstan class="hi2">aan>nces han class="hi2">aan>ppen "on purpose" an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> kind of "conditioning". an class="hi2">Aan> kind of reprogran class="hi2">aan>mming.
You an class="hi2">aan>re exposed to these conditions an class="hi2">aan>nd the conditions chan class="hi2">aan>nge you. Ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t, like, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to lean class="hi2">aan>rn by man class="hi2">aan>king decisions an class="hi2">aan>nd picking up fan class="hi2">aan>cts an class="hi2">aan>nd figuring something out mentan class="hi2">aan>lly. You kind of inevitan class="hi2">aan>bly end up lean class="hi2">aan>rning something an class="hi2">aan>lmost an class="hi2">aan>s if the situan class="hi2">aan>tion "forced" you to. But of course, you han class="hi2">aan>ve free will still.
It seems an class="hi2">aan>t times these lessons an class="hi2">aan>re more like... corrections... in the form of three dimensionan class="hi2">aan>l span class="hi2">aan>tian class="hi2">aan>l scenan class="hi2">aan>rios an class="hi2">aan>nd interan class="hi2">aan>ctions an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ppenings .... an class="hi2">aan>s if, some lan class="hi2">aan>rger being is putting stuff in front of us than class="hi2">aan>t it knows will chan class="hi2">aan>nge us in an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in direction. Than class="hi2">aan>t it is in fan class="hi2">aan>ct, an class="hi2">aan> form of hean class="hi2">aan>ling? Than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n't rean class="hi2">aan>lly fan class="hi2">aan>il to "lean class="hi2">aan>rn the lesson", you just "go through it" an class="hi2">aan>nd come out the other side chan class="hi2">aan>nged.
It seems an class="hi2">aan>lso than class="hi2">aan>t whenever Holy Spirit tells me some difficult situan class="hi2">aan>tion is an class="hi2">aan> lesson, before I would've thought of than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>nnoying an class="hi2">aan>s hell, an class="hi2">aan>nd confused an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t I han class="hi2">aan>ve to lean class="hi2">aan>rn. But lan class="hi2">aan>tely when He san class="hi2">aan>ys this, I an class="hi2">aan>lmost get than class="hi2">aan>t this is an class="hi2">aan> clue telling me "it is educan class="hi2">aan>ting you" "it is correcting you" "it is steering you" "it is prompting you to chan class="hi2">aan>nge your mind in an class="hi2">aan> good wan class="hi2">aan>y"... an class="hi2">aan>lmost "it's han class="hi2">aan>ppening to you, choose God".
Like, this situan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd your wan class="hi2">aan>y of dean class="hi2">aan>ling with it an class="hi2">aan>nd so on WILL lean class="hi2">aan>d to you discovering new things an class="hi2">aan>nd developing more trust an class="hi2">aan>nd opening up to new truths. Sometimes when I get through an class="hi2">aan> lesson I might've lean class="hi2">aan>rned something new an class="hi2">aan>bout working miran class="hi2">aan>cles or han class="hi2">aan>d some deep insight or it produced an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>jor can class="hi2">aan>than class="hi2">aan>rsis or something.... an class="hi2">aan>nd so when the lesson is "han class="hi2">aan>ppening", I might more ean class="hi2">aan>sily consider, "somehow, this is lean class="hi2">aan>ding to growth an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>king me better off".
Like, the lesson is an class="hi2">aan> "nudge in the right direction" regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of how it an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs, an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys come out the other end "better off". Becan class="hi2">aan>use whan class="hi2">aan>t I see an class="hi2">aan>nd know now versus whan class="hi2">aan>t I didn't know an class="hi2">aan>t the beginning of an class="hi2">aan> recent "trian class="hi2">aan>l" I could never han class="hi2">aan>ve iman class="hi2">aan>gined would be the outcome or insights gan class="hi2">aan>ined an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result of going through the difficulties.
You could an class="hi2">aan>lmost think of life situan class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>s little "scenan class="hi2">aan>rios", little hologran class="hi2">aan>phic 3D clan class="hi2">aan>ssrooms, into which you enter an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re exposed to, an class="hi2">aan>nd the clan class="hi2">aan>ssroom itself molds an class="hi2">aan>nd shan class="hi2">aan>pes you an class="hi2">aan>nd steers you in an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in direction. an class="hi2">Aan>nd generan class="hi2">aan>lly spean class="hi2">aan>king you will lean class="hi2">aan>rn whan class="hi2">aan>tever you an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>dy to lean class="hi2">aan>rn, freely, while pan class="hi2">aan>ssing "through" than class="hi2">aan>t chan class="hi2">aan>mber of conversion.
It rean class="hi2">aan>lly reminds me of the drean class="hi2">aan>m I han class="hi2">aan>d just recently where I wan class="hi2">aan>s going through an class="hi2">aan>ll kinds of trian class="hi2">aan>ls, obstan class="hi2">aan>cles, escan class="hi2">aan>pe an class="hi2">aan>cts, problems an class="hi2">aan>nd people chan class="hi2">aan>sing an class="hi2">aan>fter me, running through different rooms an class="hi2">aan>nd stuff, ending up in an class="hi2">aan>n open an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan> where the "host" of an class="hi2">aan> gan class="hi2">aan>me show (Holy Spirit) showed up an class="hi2">aan>s this woman class="hi2">aan>n... who an class="hi2">aan>sked, "whan class="hi2">aan>t is it than class="hi2">aan>t is so van class="hi2">aan>luan class="hi2">aan>ble to you than class="hi2">aan>t you would be willing to go through an class="hi2">aan>ll this to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>in it"? an class="hi2">Aan>nd the instan class="hi2">aan>nt an class="hi2">aan>nswer in my mind wan class="hi2">aan>s HOME... Hean class="hi2">aan>ven... I would be willing go through an class="hi2">aan>ll these trian class="hi2">aan>ls an class="hi2">aan>nd life events IF it would in the very long term picture an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly POINT me in the direction of home.
This an class="hi2">aan>lso ties in with whan class="hi2">aan>t I've hean class="hi2">aan>rd an class="hi2">aan>bout writing our life scripts before we incan class="hi2">aan>rnan class="hi2">aan>te... we literan class="hi2">aan>lly choose to go through van class="hi2">aan>rious things, those who an class="hi2">aan>re to meet will meet, we choose our fan class="hi2">aan>mily an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>jor life events etc, even our enemies an class="hi2">aan>nd people we will clan class="hi2">aan>sh with. Even our serious illnesses an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccidents etc. Even when we an class="hi2">aan>re likely to "die" ie lean class="hi2">aan>ve the clan class="hi2">aan>ssroom. an class="hi2">Aan>nd then we come in an class="hi2">aan>nd "go through it an class="hi2">aan>ll" like it's an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l "pan class="hi2">aan>in in the an class="hi2">aan>ss you wish wan class="hi2">aan>sn't han class="hi2">aan>ppening", but in the big picture, somehow, using these difficult scenan class="hi2">aan>rios an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y to guide us home to love.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd the only rean class="hi2">aan>son the life events SEEM like trian class="hi2">aan>ls, or difficult, or stressful, or upsetting etc.. is becan class="hi2">aan>use of our ego. Our egotism an class="hi2">aan>nd "whan class="hi2">aan>t we need to lean class="hi2">aan>rn" or unlean class="hi2">aan>rn is whan class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes the situan class="hi2">aan>tions into an class="hi2">aan> chan class="hi2">aan>llenge. It's why we sort of "need" these lessons. So than class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>n move closer to love an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>y from ego choices. To than class="hi2">aan>t we will will surrender. an class="hi2">Aan>nd sometimes the lessons an class="hi2">aan>re so an class="hi2">aan>nnoyingly fucked up than class="hi2">aan>t the only thing you an class="hi2">aan>re left an class="hi2">aan>ble to do is surrender an class="hi2">aan>nd give up an class="hi2">aan>nd let go. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t's an class="hi2">aan> good thing. lol

A simple meditation based on listening

an class="hi2">Aan> simple meditan class="hi2">aan>tion technique I tried lan class="hi2">aan>st night with unexpected results - it ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly revolves an class="hi2">aan>round intense listening.
1) Know/iman class="hi2">aan>gine than class="hi2">aan>t there is going to be an class="hi2">aan>n extremely quiet sound than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re going to hean class="hi2">aan>r in your mind. It's so quiet, it's quieter than class="hi2">aan>n even your thoughts. It will be very very subtle so you're going to han class="hi2">aan>ve to listen very can class="hi2">aan>refully. If you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to an class="hi2">aan>nticipan class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t this sound will be an class="hi2">aan> voice, than class="hi2">aan>t's ok too, but it's going to be rean class="hi2">aan>lly rean class="hi2">aan>lly quiet an class="hi2">aan>nd ban class="hi2">aan>rely noticean class="hi2">aan>ble.
2) Spend time listening rean class="hi2">aan>lly rean class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>refully within, listening for this very quiet sound. Do not try to listen for 'silence' or to become silent or to silence your thoughts - than class="hi2">aan>t's too han class="hi2">aan>rd. an class="hi2">Aan>nticipan class="hi2">aan>te there will be an class="hi2">aan> very quiet sound you're trying to find. You're trying to seek out an class="hi2">aan> very quiet sound in your mind an class="hi2">aan>nd it's going to be rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>lmost too quiet to notice unless you listen rean class="hi2">aan>lly rean class="hi2">aan>lly intently, so you're going to han class="hi2">aan>ve to pan class="hi2">aan>y rean class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>reful an class="hi2">aan>ttention.
3) Do this for an class="hi2">aan> while an class="hi2">aan>nd you'll proban class="hi2">aan>bly drift into norman class="hi2">aan>l thinking severan class="hi2">aan>l times an class="hi2">aan>nd go off on tan class="hi2">aan>ngents. Hopefully you'll remember to come ban class="hi2">aan>ck to listening for this quiet sound an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd focus an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in on listening intently. When I did this I got distran class="hi2">aan>cted severan class="hi2">aan>l times but kept coming ban class="hi2">aan>ck to listening for something very very quiet.
4) an class="hi2">Aan>t some point when you're rean class="hi2">aan>dy an class="hi2">aan>nd you've been doing this an class="hi2">aan> while, your mind will han class="hi2">aan>ve quieted down an class="hi2">aan>nd you'll be quite focused, an class="hi2">aan>nd you'll notice you han class="hi2">aan>ven't hean class="hi2">aan>rd the sound yet. If you hean class="hi2">aan>rd thoughts or voices than class="hi2">aan>t's ok, but than class="hi2">aan>t's not the sound we wan class="hi2">aan>nt. We wan class="hi2">aan>nt to focus on something subtler, an class="hi2">aan> bit like tran class="hi2">aan>nscendentan class="hi2">aan>l meditan class="hi2">aan>tion. However, we're now going to switch our focus an class="hi2">aan> little bit.
5) Instean class="hi2">aan>d of listening for than class="hi2">aan>t quiet sound, which we didn't hean class="hi2">aan>r yet ;-), we're going to now shift to listening to God. The sound is going to come from God. We're going to put an class="hi2">aan>ll our an class="hi2">aan>ttention on God an class="hi2">aan>nd listen rean class="hi2">aan>lly rean class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>refully in his direction, just an class="hi2">aan>s before, becan class="hi2">aan>use God han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>lly quiet voice. Just listen intently, be receptive.
6) You should hopefully notice than class="hi2">aan>t you feel you an class="hi2">aan>re directly 'in front of God' an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t He is right in front of you, with nothing else coming between you. It man class="hi2">aan>y feel more intiman class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>n you've ever felt with God before. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you'll just keep listening an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>ying focused on His presence, listening to whan class="hi2">aan>t sound He might man class="hi2">aan>ke. You can class="hi2">aan>n stan class="hi2">aan>y doing than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>s long an class="hi2">aan>s you like.
7) Optionan class="hi2">aan>l finan class="hi2">aan>l step, if you wan class="hi2">aan>nt, is to an class="hi2">aan>sk God something, an class="hi2">aan>nd then continue listening to see if he will an class="hi2">aan>nswer. Even if you don't do this step, I feel it's been helping in quieting your mind an class="hi2">aan>nd helping you to focus on God, which is communion, which is good. I wan class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>lly surprised how much I felt I wan class="hi2">aan>s in direct contan class="hi2">aan>ct with God more than class="hi2">aan>n ever before, with no middle-men/thoughts an class="hi2">aan>nywhere.
Give it an class="hi2">aan> try ?

Punishment is a misunderstanding of correction

Punishment comes from an class="hi2">aan> Fan class="hi2">Aan>ILURE to know whan class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>pproprian class="hi2">aan>te correction.
The only an class="hi2">aan>pproprian class="hi2">aan>te correction for an class="hi2">aan>ny mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, is an class="hi2">aan> correction ban class="hi2">aan>sed in love. The Holy Spirit knows how to truly correct, thus hean class="hi2">aan>l, mistan class="hi2">aan>kes becan class="hi2">aan>use he is loving an class="hi2">aan>nd forgiving.
When we an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>ligned with love, we're an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of han class="hi2">aan>ving punished OURSELVES, an class="hi2">aan>nd we an class="hi2">aan>re just rean class="hi2">aan>dy to jump an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ny opportunity to find an class="hi2">aan> SKan class="hi2">Aan>PEGOan class="hi2">Aan>T.
Conveniently, someone, perhan class="hi2">aan>ps an class="hi2">aan> child or whomever, does something than class="hi2">aan>t seems to be an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, an class="hi2">aan>nd it REMINDS us of our own mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, which we've an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy condemned ourselves for, an class="hi2">aan>nd we an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy believe in punishment (of ourselves), so now we try to get rid of this self-blan class="hi2">aan>me by putting it onto the person.
It's an class="hi2">aan>n excellent opportunity to try to convince ourselves an class="hi2">aan>nd everyone than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>bsolved of guilt, becan class="hi2">aan>ues this other person is the 'elected' guilty one. The one who gets to die on our behan class="hi2">aan>lf so than class="hi2">aan>t the rest of us can class="hi2">aan>n live. This is nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n san class="hi2">aan>crificing people to 'the God's in order to try to an class="hi2">aan>void the wran class="hi2">aan>th. Than class="hi2">aan>t's how an class="hi2">aan>rchan class="hi2">aan>ic it is.
So when you punish someone else, it is becan class="hi2">aan>use you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy punished yourself an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy believe in punishment, an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>lso believe than class="hi2">aan>t punishment is JUSTIFIED becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re WORTHY of it an class="hi2">aan>nd it an class="hi2">Aan>PPROPRIan class="hi2">Aan>TE given than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve sinned. You get to try to project your own sin onto others when they slip up, becan class="hi2">aan>use it triggers your own unworthiness an class="hi2">aan>nd you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to cover up than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan>s quickly an class="hi2">aan>s possible. To get rid of an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of sin you use projection an class="hi2">aan>nd denian class="hi2">aan>l.
So, punishing someone for an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, does not correct their mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, becan class="hi2">aan>use you're rean class="hi2">aan>lly punishing them for YOUR mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, an class="hi2">Aan>ND you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly correcting your mistan class="hi2">aan>ke by doing so - or theirs. an class="hi2">Aan>ll you're doing is an class="hi2">aan>dding your own mistan class="hi2">aan>ke to theirs, an class="hi2">aan>s if to san class="hi2">aan>y, if they can class="hi2">aan>rry the burden of both mistan class="hi2">aan>kes then you'll be set free.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd so an class="hi2">aan>s you believe their punishment is can class="hi2">aan>lled for, secretly you an class="hi2">aan>re getting relief from your own sin an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re performing an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ct of terrorism. So then how can class="hi2">aan>n you clan class="hi2">aan>im the other person is guilty when you an class="hi2">aan>re the one who is guilty? an class="hi2">Aan>nd it's your sin than class="hi2">aan>t you see in them.
This is why punishment doesn't help an class="hi2">aan>nyone. It doesn't provide an class="hi2">aan> TRUE correction. It doesn't HEan class="hi2">Aan>L or UNDO the mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. It doesn't properly correct the person so than class="hi2">aan>t they won't contan class="hi2">aan>in, in their mind, the san class="hi2">aan>me guilt than class="hi2">aan>t compelled them to man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke in the first plan class="hi2">aan>ce. You might think punishing them for the EFFECTS of their mistan class="hi2">aan>ke will correct the Can class="hi2">Aan>USE of it. But it's totan class="hi2">aan>lly removed from the can class="hi2">aan>use. an class="hi2">Aan>ll it does is gloss over the problem an class="hi2">aan>nd the can class="hi2">aan>use.
This is why most efforts to correct bullying an class="hi2">aan>lso don't work. If you man class="hi2">aan>ke it an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>bout 'an class="hi2">aan>nti bullying' an class="hi2">aan>nd you go an class="hi2">aan>fter the bullies an class="hi2">aan>nd get an class="hi2">aan>ll pissed an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ngry an class="hi2">aan>t them or you punish them, it WILL NOT stop them from being bullies. They an class="hi2">aan>re bullies becan class="hi2">aan>use they themselves han class="hi2">aan>ve bean class="hi2">aan>ten themselves up an class="hi2">aan>nd believe they an class="hi2">aan>re very guilty. They're finding skan class="hi2">aan>pegoan class="hi2">aan>ts (the victims) becan class="hi2">aan>use of the huge an class="hi2">aan>mount of guilt they an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy can class="hi2">aan>rry an class="hi2">aan>round which nobody is an class="hi2">aan>ddressing. They need an class="hi2">aan> lot of LOVE, not punishment. They need HEan class="hi2">Aan>LING an class="hi2">aan>nd compan class="hi2">aan>ssion.
The san class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>pplies to an class="hi2">aan>ll victimizers. Even murderors. Can class="hi2">aan>n you iman class="hi2">aan>gine the kind of nightman class="hi2">aan>ring torment than class="hi2">aan>t goes on in such an class="hi2">aan> person's mind, who feels so sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted from others an class="hi2">aan>nd so victimized an class="hi2">aan>nd so guilty than class="hi2">aan>t they han class="hi2">aan>ve to disan class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>te from their guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd project it intensely onto someone else, to feel justified in committed an class="hi2">aan> terrible an class="hi2">aan>ct. They will an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys feel even more guilty for doing so, becan class="hi2">aan>use it's an class="hi2">aan>n ego solution - the ego's an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to destroy itself while preserving itself. Obviously than class="hi2">aan>t won't work. But the murderor an class="hi2">aan>lso needs an class="hi2">aan> lot of love an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ling. They need compan class="hi2">aan>ssion. Otherwise if you an class="hi2">Aan>DD punishment they will only feel even worse an class="hi2">aan>bout themselves an class="hi2">aan>nd enter into even more dan class="hi2">aan>rkness an class="hi2">aan>nd hell. This is an class="hi2">aan>lso lan class="hi2">aan>rgely why locking people up in prisons with no rean class="hi2">aan>l HEan class="hi2">Aan>LING ("rehan class="hi2">aan>b") is lan class="hi2">aan>rgely an class="hi2">aan>n exercise in the rest of society committing an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>ssive an class="hi2">aan>ct of DENIan class="hi2">Aan>L, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly correcting the problem.
an class="hi2">Aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys with an class="hi2">aan>ny policies you'll notice than class="hi2">aan>t they do not rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>ddress the true can class="hi2">aan>use of an class="hi2">aan>ny problems, only the effects further down the chan class="hi2">aan>in of consequences. an class="hi2">Aan>nd doing than class="hi2">aan>t will only chop off some of those consequences temporan class="hi2">aan>rily. It's like digging up weeds an class="hi2">aan>nd lean class="hi2">aan>ving the 'root' in the ground, which will only sprout more weed eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly. If you're not truly hean class="hi2">aan>ling the Can class="hi2">Aan>USE of something, it is not getting fixed. Period. This is why I lan class="hi2">aan>ugh when, for exan class="hi2">aan>mple, the British government orders more security can class="hi2">aan>meran class="hi2">aan>s to 'fix crime'. Like than class="hi2">aan>t will do an class="hi2">aan>nything. Or how softwan class="hi2">aan>re compan class="hi2">aan>nies increan class="hi2">aan>se 'security' in order to try to comban class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>cking, even though the increan class="hi2">aan>se in 'security' increan class="hi2">aan>singly UNDERMINES trust an class="hi2">aan>nd erodes san class="hi2">aan>fety. People don't rean class="hi2">aan>lly wan class="hi2">aan>nt to fix the true can class="hi2">aan>use of an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>nd the world will just keep man class="hi2">aan>nifesting problems an class="hi2">aan>ll over the plan class="hi2">aan>ce until the rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>use in our mind is hean class="hi2">aan>led.
Punishment just doesn't work. Counter-mean class="hi2">aan>ures an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>ctions do not work. Only love can class="hi2">aan>n work.

Miracle working, a message from Jesus

I wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> going to write an class="hi2">aan>bout something miran class="hi2">aan>cle relan class="hi2">aan>ted. I wan class="hi2">aan>s going to elan class="hi2">aan>boran class="hi2">aan>te on this quote:
"The miran class="hi2">aan>cle is tan class="hi2">aan>ken first on fan class="hi2">aan>ith, becan class="hi2">aan>use to an class="hi2">aan>sk for it implies the mind han class="hi2">aan>s been man class="hi2">aan>de rean class="hi2">aan>dy to conceive of whan class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>nnot see an class="hi2">aan>nd does not understan class="hi2">aan>nd. Yet fan class="hi2">aan>ith will bring its witnesses to show than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t it rested on is rean class="hi2">aan>lly there. an class="hi2">Aan>nd thus the miran class="hi2">aan>cle will justify your fan class="hi2">aan>ith in it, an class="hi2">aan>nd show it rested on an class="hi2">aan> world more rean class="hi2">aan>l than class="hi2">aan>n whan class="hi2">aan>t you san class="hi2">aan>w before; an class="hi2">aan> world redeemed from whan class="hi2">aan>t you thought wan class="hi2">aan>s there."
Then Jesus san class="hi2">aan>id "let me". These an class="hi2">aan>re his exan class="hi2">aan>ct words verban class="hi2">aan>tim:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Miran class="hi2">aan>cles occur nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>s expressions of truth. They do not discriminan class="hi2">aan>te. There is nothing they can class="hi2">aan>nnot do. You an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker of God, an class="hi2">aan>ble to express through you the hean class="hi2">aan>ling than class="hi2">aan>t God intends.
There is nothing you can class="hi2">aan>nnot do. There an class="hi2">aan>re no limits plan class="hi2">aan>ced upon Christ or His expression. You an class="hi2">aan>re worthy of receiving an class="hi2">aan>nd giving miran class="hi2">aan>cles, for yourself an class="hi2">aan>nd for those to whom you an class="hi2">aan>re exposed while living in an class="hi2">aan>n illusion.
Being an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id to perform them is evidence than class="hi2">aan>t you do not know whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re for. You think they merely show you the truth, yet they correct an class="hi2">aan>lso every distorted expression of mind, by undoing the can class="hi2">aan>use.
The world is an class="hi2">aan>n expression from within, projected outside an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>de flesh an class="hi2">aan>nd rock. This san class="hi2">aan>me mind is powerful in its an class="hi2">aan>bility to chan class="hi2">aan>nge its mind an class="hi2">aan>nd project an class="hi2">aan>nother iman class="hi2">aan>ge in its plan class="hi2">aan>ce. It is essentian class="hi2">aan>l you understan class="hi2">aan>nd the power of the mind is can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of clean class="hi2">aan>ring an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>ll tran class="hi2">aan>ce of error both an class="hi2">aan>t the level of form an class="hi2">aan>nd mind, otherwise you will enter into an class="hi2">aan>n unworthy denian class="hi2">aan>l which represses the miran class="hi2">aan>cle impulse.
Miran class="hi2">aan>cle working must be undertan class="hi2">aan>ken in an class="hi2">aan> spirit of certan class="hi2">aan>inty an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>lm, knowing than class="hi2">aan>t than class="hi2">aan>t which flows through you to an class="hi2">aan>nother is from God an class="hi2">aan>nd from Him an class="hi2">aan>lone. No-one can class="hi2">aan>n possess the power to perform whan class="hi2">aan>t is truly miran class="hi2">aan>culous without God. Only He knows the remedy of san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion which can class="hi2">aan>n be brought forwan class="hi2">aan>rd into the dry an class="hi2">aan>nd dusty world to brean class="hi2">aan>the new life where dan class="hi2">aan>rkness clouded it before.
It is through performing miran class="hi2">aan>cles for yourself an class="hi2">aan>nd others than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re van class="hi2">aan>lidan class="hi2">aan>ting of truth, given they extend from it an class="hi2">aan>nd show signs than class="hi2">aan>t truth must be there. This evidence when perceived demonstran class="hi2">aan>tes correction must han class="hi2">aan>ve come from outside the world, since its rules an class="hi2">aan>nd regulan class="hi2">aan>tions han class="hi2">aan>ve been overcome.
To witness an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is to receive an class="hi2">aan> blessing of sight, which will tell you than class="hi2">aan>t something beyond whan class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rent han class="hi2">aan>s come to can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan> chan class="hi2">aan>nge you can class="hi2">aan>n see with your own eyes. Trust thereby develops given than class="hi2">aan>t you see proof before your eyes than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cle working in fan class="hi2">aan>ct must come from God, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore He IS present.
To conceive of performing miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>lone without the Fan class="hi2">aan>ther will not only fan class="hi2">aan>il, it will clean class="hi2">aan>rly prove your disbelief in an class="hi2">aan> Power grean class="hi2">aan>ter than class="hi2">aan>n your ego, by fan class="hi2">aan>iling to express symptoman class="hi2">aan>tic relief or tran class="hi2">aan>nsforman class="hi2">aan>tion in form. Miran class="hi2">aan>cle working power ean class="hi2">aan>sily overcomes an class="hi2">aan>ny stan class="hi2">aan>te or condition from the outside in, since an class="hi2">aan>ll illusions an class="hi2">aan>re temporan class="hi2">aan>ry an class="hi2">aan>nd God is not.
For you to perform them you must be willing an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore an class="hi2">aan>ble to commit to the Power of God, an class="hi2">aan>llowing it to perform them for you, with you stepping an class="hi2">aan>side to remove your an class="hi2">aan>rtifician class="hi2">aan>l mind from the process. It is only through sufficient willingness to an class="hi2">aan>ccept God's Will than class="hi2">aan>t it might flow through you unimpeded, an class="hi2">aan>ble to express in the fullest wan class="hi2">aan>y possible.

A channeling on immortality by Jesus

Everyone is an class="hi2">aan>n immortan class="hi2">aan>l being. If they an class="hi2">aan>re portran class="hi2">aan>ying themselves otherwise, do not listen to their clan class="hi2">aan>ims. They an class="hi2">aan>re trying to deceive themselves an class="hi2">aan>nd you with an class="hi2">aan> story an class="hi2">aan>bout being an class="hi2">aan> mortan class="hi2">aan>l victim. It is not true.
Everyone you meet is an class="hi2">aan>n immortan class="hi2">aan>l being. There is nothing than class="hi2">aan>t truly can class="hi2">aan>n come to them an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst their will, an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing han class="hi2">aan>s befan class="hi2">aan>llen them from which they an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy free.
Every single person is immortan class="hi2">aan>l, regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of their stan class="hi2">aan>nding in life, occupan class="hi2">aan>tion, merit or an class="hi2">aan>ccountan class="hi2">aan>bility. There is no one who is outside of the scope of immortan class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd divine right to perfect living.
Ean class="hi2">aan>ch an class="hi2">aan>nd every brother or sister on your journey should be met an class="hi2">aan>s though they an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of sustan class="hi2">aan>ining immortan class="hi2">aan>l living, unfettered an class="hi2">aan>nd distinct from every conceivan class="hi2">aan>ble form of suffering. They han class="hi2">aan>ve chosen to pretend to lose the power of God an class="hi2">aan>nd to suffer an class="hi2">aan>t the han class="hi2">aan>nds of an class="hi2">aan>nother.
There is no being who wan class="hi2">aan>lks this Ean class="hi2">aan>rth who is truly mortan class="hi2">aan>l, becan class="hi2">aan>use dean class="hi2">aan>th is an class="hi2">aan> lie. We an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll equan class="hi2">aan>l in our immortan class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd we disguise ourselves behind an class="hi2">aan> brick wan class="hi2">aan>ll of flesh an class="hi2">aan>nd bones, pretending to go through trian class="hi2">aan>ls an class="hi2">aan>nd difficulties an class="hi2">aan>t the han class="hi2">aan>nds of someone other than class="hi2">aan>n ourselves.
The grean class="hi2">aan>t lie han class="hi2">aan>s portran class="hi2">aan>yed the Son of God an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> mere mortan class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>s wean class="hi2">aan>k an class="hi2">aan>nd fran class="hi2">aan>il an class="hi2">aan>nd prepan class="hi2">aan>ring to die an class="hi2">aan>n unnan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l dean class="hi2">aan>th. How can class="hi2">aan>n God's infinite Crean class="hi2">aan>tion give rise to an class="hi2">aan> being whose life can class="hi2">aan>n be terminan class="hi2">aan>ted by circumstan class="hi2">aan>nces an class="hi2">aan>nd illusions?
Every person you meet han class="hi2">aan>s infinite immortan class="hi2">aan>lity, can class="hi2">aan>nnot die, han class="hi2">aan>s never died, will never die, an class="hi2">aan>nd is truly in divine hean class="hi2">aan>lth. It is only through their own an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to pretend to be not themselves, an class="hi2">aan>nd not Life, than class="hi2">aan>t they portran class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan> fiction in which they plan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>rring role an class="hi2">aan>s sufferer an class="hi2">aan>nd loser of Life.
How can class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t which is immortan class="hi2">aan>l ever experience the end of itself? How can class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t which han class="hi2">aan>s eternan class="hi2">aan>l life, given by God Himself, ever come to cean class="hi2">aan>se to exist? It is not God's Will. The Fan class="hi2">aan>ther knows only the everlan class="hi2">aan>sting nan class="hi2">aan>ture of His Crean class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd, by His Will an class="hi2">aan>lone, han class="hi2">aan>s chosen for it to live forever.
So while it is very populan class="hi2">aan>r to meet those who believe in dying, who believe in suffering, in sickness, in despan class="hi2">aan>ir, an class="hi2">aan>nd those who perceive loss an class="hi2">aan>s though it were rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd who think themselves little an class="hi2">aan>nd mortan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely destined for the gran class="hi2">aan>ve sooner or lan class="hi2">aan>ter, you should an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys choose to look beyond the lie they han class="hi2">aan>ve told an class="hi2">aan>nd focus your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness on the living rean class="hi2">aan>lity which governs them.
While they pretend to die an class="hi2">aan>nd put on an class="hi2">aan> good show, you know this is not the truth. It is not rean class="hi2">aan>lity. It is not God's wan class="hi2">aan>y. Dean class="hi2">aan>th is an class="hi2">aan> fictionan class="hi2">aan>l religion of an class="hi2">aan>rtifician class="hi2">aan>l mortan class="hi2">aan>lity, come to disguise the underlying fan class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l truth than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>nnot die, an class="hi2">aan>nd nor can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nyone. Even if an class="hi2">aan> person should lan class="hi2">aan>y down their body in an class="hi2">aan>ttempt an class="hi2">aan>t dean class="hi2">aan>th, they will find themselves out of it an class="hi2">aan>nd continuing on, han class="hi2">aan>ving fan class="hi2">aan>iled to terminan class="hi2">aan>te their existence.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd on it goes, an class="hi2">aan>round an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>round, han class="hi2">aan>ving one more try an class="hi2">aan>t overcoming the self-man class="hi2">aan>de belief than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n die, tan class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan>nother lifetime to lean class="hi2">aan>rn than class="hi2">aan>t dean class="hi2">aan>th is not rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd putting first the priority of the Kingdom of God over an class="hi2">aan>ll else, such than class="hi2">aan>t you do not believe for an class="hi2">aan>n instan class="hi2">aan>nt the sorry tan class="hi2">aan>les of despan class="hi2">aan>ir than class="hi2">aan>t befan class="hi2">aan>ll every believer in dean class="hi2">aan>th.
The plan class="hi2">aan>gue of this Ean class="hi2">aan>rth lies in the illusion than class="hi2">aan>t dean class="hi2">aan>th is rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t dying is inevitan class="hi2">aan>ble. Dean class="hi2">aan>th is powerless over the Son of God. It can class="hi2">aan>n do nothing to Him whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>nnot rob Him of his immortan class="hi2">aan>lity. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it is He an class="hi2">aan>lone who is an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to give dean class="hi2">aan>th this power to do so, through an class="hi2">aan>cts of suicide an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> dean class="hi2">aan>th wish which han class="hi2">aan>s no hope of succeeding.
Whether through your current body or an class="hi2">aan>nother, or ten from now, you will an class="hi2">aan>t some point surrender the an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely futile an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to prove dean class="hi2">aan>th is rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd will lean class="hi2">aan>rn from your mistan class="hi2">aan>ke than class="hi2">aan>t no man class="hi2">aan>tter how han class="hi2">aan>rd you try, your immortan class="hi2">aan>lity can class="hi2">aan>nnot be extinguished. There is no end to you. an class="hi2">Aan>nd there can class="hi2">aan>n be no moment in which you cean class="hi2">aan>se to be. Becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>l to God.
There is no rean class="hi2">aan>l dean class="hi2">aan>th. You can class="hi2">aan>n pretend an class="hi2">aan>ll you like. You can class="hi2">aan>n even man class="hi2">aan>ke it seem to han class="hi2">aan>ppen to your body in an class="hi2">aan> thousan class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>ys, but you can class="hi2">aan>n never bring an class="hi2">aan>n end to the Spirit of Life than class="hi2">aan>t constitutes your entire rean class="hi2">aan>lity. You an class="hi2">aan>re san class="hi2">aan>fe forever in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven with God, incan class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of destruction an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely free from han class="hi2">aan>rm or fean class="hi2">aan>r of it. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot be genuinely sick, or an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly suffer, or truly die for an class="hi2">aan>ny rean class="hi2">aan>son. Your man class="hi2">aan>lan class="hi2">aan>dies an class="hi2">aan>re pretend an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ke believe.
When will you wan class="hi2">aan>ke up? How long does it tan class="hi2">aan>ke for you to stop trying to man class="hi2">aan>ke dean class="hi2">aan>th rean class="hi2">aan>l? How much effort will you expend pointlessly trying to bring an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan>n impossible end which can class="hi2">aan>n never an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppen? Regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of your efforts you die, you can class="hi2">aan>nnot, an class="hi2">aan>nd even your dean class="hi2">aan>th wish to do so will never succeed. It is not God's will than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n possibly die even remotely, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is impossible for you to overthrow it.
Give up. Surrender your desire for destruction. Stop pretending than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re mortan class="hi2">aan>l. There is nothing an class="hi2">aan>bout you than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n be truly terminan class="hi2">aan>ted. There is no an class="hi2">aan>spect of your immortan class="hi2">aan>l being than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n suffer in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y. There is nothing you can class="hi2">aan>n do to chan class="hi2">aan>nge God's will. an class="hi2">Aan>nd there is an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely no wan class="hi2">aan>y you can class="hi2">aan>n end Eternan class="hi2">aan>l Life. Trying to do so it like ban class="hi2">aan>nging your hean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>ll, which man class="hi2">aan>y seem for an class="hi2">aan> time to man class="hi2">aan>ke your hean class="hi2">aan>d bloody or even to bring to you an class="hi2">aan> moment of bodily dean class="hi2">aan>th, an class="hi2">aan>nd yet still this won't work. It will cean class="hi2">aan>se to succeed in isolan class="hi2">aan>ting you to nothingness.
You can class="hi2">aan>n never die. Nobody ever han class="hi2">aan>s died. Nobody ever will die. The body is not rean class="hi2">aan>l. Dean class="hi2">aan>th is not rean class="hi2">aan>l. You an class="hi2">aan>re immortan class="hi2">aan>lity itself, set in stone for ever an class="hi2">aan>nd ever an class="hi2">aan>nd ever by your Holy Fan class="hi2">aan>ther who loves you with an class="hi2">aan>n eternan class="hi2">aan>l hean class="hi2">aan>rt.
To an class="hi2">aan>ccept this is to stop fighting with the truth, to an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys been fan class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd to surrender to the effortless never-ending existence which God han class="hi2">aan>s given you. You an class="hi2">aan>re whan class="hi2">aan>t He wills you to be, His Shining Light of Holy Crean class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd there is nothing you can class="hi2">aan>n do to chan class="hi2">aan>nge it.
Put an class="hi2">aan>side your mortan class="hi2">aan>l stories of how you han class="hi2">aan>ve been undermined, an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked, wean class="hi2">aan>kened, dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ged, offended, hurt or betran class="hi2">aan>yed. How can class="hi2">aan>n they be true of someone who is immortan class="hi2">aan>l spirit, invulneran class="hi2">aan>ble, incan class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of suffering an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely indestructible? You an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>bsolute, not relan class="hi2">aan>tive. You do not die. You only live forever.

Sickness is a form of guilt

"Sickness where guilt is an class="hi2">aan>bsent can class="hi2">aan>nnot come, for it is but an class="hi2">aan>nother form of guilt" - an class="hi2">Aan>CIM from "Only san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion can class="hi2">aan>n be san class="hi2">aan>id to cure".
Sickness is an class="hi2">aan> form of guilt. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot recognize it an class="hi2">aan>s guilt if you do not clean class="hi2">aan>rly recognize whan class="hi2">aan>t san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion is, ie the truth of the an class="hi2">Aan>tonement.

an class="hi2">Aan>ccepting the an class="hi2">aan>tonement for yourself, which is an class="hi2">aan>ccepting the "cure" for yourself, an class="hi2">aan>llows you to recognize whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth is, on its terms, without your ego distorting it. In your willingness to an class="hi2">aan>ccept it is true, to understan class="hi2">aan>nd why it is true, an class="hi2">aan>nd to experience its truth, it shines an class="hi2">aan> light which refran class="hi2">aan>mes the illusion of sickness when seen in others.
Sickness is then more clean class="hi2">aan>rly recognized not an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> van class="hi2">aan>lid stan class="hi2">aan>te of truth, but an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of guilt. an class="hi2">Aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of self an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck. an class="hi2">Aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of punishment. If sickness is present, the person IS an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking themselves, an class="hi2">aan>nd there is only one rean class="hi2">aan>son to do so - they believe than class="hi2">aan>t they sinned. Their sickness is literan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> symptom of guilt.
Those who believe in sin do not believe in innocence. Those who believe in sin do not believe in hean class="hi2">aan>lth. Those who believe in sin an class="hi2">aan>re busy finding wan class="hi2">aan>ys to punish themselves. Sickness becomes equan class="hi2">aan>ted with, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly seen an class="hi2">aan>s "guilt", when the an class="hi2">Aan>tonement is an class="hi2">aan>ccepted an class="hi2">aan>nd innocence is recognized an class="hi2">aan>s true.
When somenone is sick, (an class="hi2">aan>nd in an class="hi2">Aan>CIM terms, sicknes mean class="hi2">aan>ns an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of sense of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God, not just physican class="hi2">aan>l expressions of sickness), when they an class="hi2">aan>re mentan class="hi2">aan>lly sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted from truth, they an class="hi2">aan>re believing in guilt. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this will man class="hi2">aan>nifest an class="hi2">aan>s forms of sickness in the body an class="hi2">aan>nd in other an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan>s of life. an class="hi2">Aan>nd these will be an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan>s of guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd punishment.
If you an class="hi2">aan>re willing to an class="hi2">aan>ccept san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion for yourself, which mean class="hi2">aan>ns to become an class="hi2">aan>ble to an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPT than class="hi2">aan>t the an class="hi2">Aan>tonement is true, ie there is no such thing an class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l sin an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>l sin han class="hi2">aan>s not han class="hi2">aan>ppened, your clan class="hi2">aan>rity an class="hi2">aan>nd willingness then an class="hi2">aan>llows you to clan class="hi2">aan>im "for others" than class="hi2">aan>t they too an class="hi2">aan>re worthy of love becan class="hi2">aan>use they too han class="hi2">aan>ve not sinned.
Their sins become more obvious an class="hi2">aan>s being untrue of them, an class="hi2">aan>s much an class="hi2">aan>s your own an class="hi2">aan>re untrue of you. You will not see their sickness an class="hi2">aan>s truth or an class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>lity. You will recognize the person is experiencing guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd is an class="hi2">aan>cting an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst themselves. They do not deserve this. They deserve the san class="hi2">aan>me love than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve come to recognize you deserve, becan class="hi2">aan>use of your an class="hi2">aan>cceptan class="hi2">aan>nce of the an class="hi2">Aan>tonement's messan class="hi2">aan>ge an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
Can class="hi2">aan>ncelling the illusion of sickness, man class="hi2">aan>squeran class="hi2">aan>ding an class="hi2">aan>s sickness, seeing pan class="hi2">aan>st it to recognize the guilt, an class="hi2">aan>nd recognizing it an class="hi2">aan>s untrue, gives you the power to set your brother free. This is why Jesus wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ble to tell people than class="hi2">aan>t their sins were forgiven. It wan class="hi2">aan>sn't than class="hi2">aan>t they han class="hi2">aan>d been pan class="hi2">aan>rdoned, but than class="hi2">aan>t He knew their sins were not rean class="hi2">aan>lly sins. Sin is not rean class="hi2">aan>l.
He instean class="hi2">aan>d recognized their stan class="hi2">aan>te of believing they were sinful needed to be hean class="hi2">aan>led an class="hi2">aan>nd undone. He wan class="hi2">aan>s so certan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd clean class="hi2">aan>r than class="hi2">aan>t they were nothing short of completely innocent, than class="hi2">aan>t He did not get hung up on their illusion of sickness for an class="hi2">aan> second. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t gan class="hi2">aan>ve him the an class="hi2">aan>bility to dispel those illusions an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>st them off like they were nothing.
If the an class="hi2">Aan>tonement is true for you, it MUST be true for your brothers an class="hi2">aan>nd sisters an class="hi2">aan>lso. The an class="hi2">Aan>tonement tells you than class="hi2">aan>t there is no division an class="hi2">aan>nd there is no sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd there is no set of rules than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>pply differently to one person an class="hi2">aan>nd not an class="hi2">aan>nother. If love an class="hi2">aan>pplies to you, becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re forgiven, then it an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>pplies to everyone an class="hi2">aan>round you.

The world is a big giant lie!

an class="hi2">Aan> lie is when something fan class="hi2">aan>lse is presented an class="hi2">aan>s if it's true. The fan class="hi2">aan>lse thing is still fan class="hi2">aan>lse, but it is disguised an class="hi2">aan>s truth. This fan class="hi2">aan>lse thing is deceptive becan class="hi2">aan>use it isn't whan class="hi2">aan>t it seems to be. It seems true on the surfan class="hi2">aan>ce, but it isn't.
If someone presents something fan class="hi2">aan>lse an class="hi2">aan>s if it's true, than class="hi2">aan>t person is being deceptive. They an class="hi2">aan>re hiding whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth rean class="hi2">aan>lly is, behind an class="hi2">aan> pretend truth, which substitutes for it.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t then seems to be true is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly fan class="hi2">aan>lse, but while you don't recognize it an class="hi2">Aan>S fan class="hi2">aan>lse, you an class="hi2">aan>re fixan class="hi2">aan>ted on it. The wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse thing seems to be true, is whan class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>n illusion. It an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs like truth but isn't.

To fan class="hi2">aan>ll for this presentan class="hi2">aan>tion of something fan class="hi2">aan>lse "an class="hi2">aan>s if its true" is to be deceived. The presentan class="hi2">aan>tion of this illusion is an class="hi2">aan> temptan class="hi2">aan>tion. It tempts you to believe than class="hi2">aan>t something fan class="hi2">aan>lse is true when it isn't. It is lying to you. If you fan class="hi2">aan>ll for the trick you will buy into it an class="hi2">aan>nd be convinced. But you can class="hi2">aan>n only fan class="hi2">aan>ll for it by not knowing or recognizing whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth rean class="hi2">aan>lly is.
The rean class="hi2">aan>l truth, God's truth, is like an class="hi2">aan> light which fran class="hi2">aan>mes everything in its proper perspective. In light of whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of an class="hi2">aan>s true, it is impossible to be convinced than class="hi2">aan>t something fan class="hi2">aan>lse is true. The rean class="hi2">aan>l truth is obvious, an class="hi2">aan>nd provided you reman class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of it, you can class="hi2">aan>nnot but lan class="hi2">aan>ugh an class="hi2">aan>t the ridiculous efforts of illusions to pretend to be the truth. They an class="hi2">aan>re obviously fan class="hi2">aan>lse when you an class="hi2">aan>re san class="hi2">aan>ne.
an class="hi2">Aan>s you lose sight of the truth, blocked in your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, confused an class="hi2">aan>bout whether the truth rean class="hi2">aan>lly is true or not, you will enter into an class="hi2">aan> doubting of the truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd doubt is fean class="hi2">aan>r. Being uncertan class="hi2">aan>in whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth is is an class="hi2">aan>utoman class="hi2">aan>tican class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of fean class="hi2">aan>r. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so fean class="hi2">aan>r (an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th) an class="hi2">aan>re the nan class="hi2">aan>ture of an class="hi2">aan>ll illusions.
To question the truth is the an class="hi2">aan>uthority problem, an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to an class="hi2">aan>ssert than class="hi2">aan>t the truth (God) isn't whan class="hi2">aan>t it is, an class="hi2">aan>nd is something else. It's an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccusan class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>t the truth is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion, than class="hi2">aan>t it is deceptive, than class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>n't be trusted, an class="hi2">aan>nd is fan class="hi2">aan>lse.
In other words, the deceptive nan class="hi2">aan>ture of illusions - fan class="hi2">aan>lse things pretending to be truth - is projected onto the truth to try to man class="hi2">aan>ke out than class="hi2">aan>t the truth is deceptive an class="hi2">aan>nd is "not rean class="hi2">aan>lly true." While clan class="hi2">aan>iming than class="hi2">aan>t God's truth is lying to you, the ego simultan class="hi2">aan>neously lies to you with untruths man class="hi2">aan>squeran class="hi2">aan>ding an class="hi2">aan>s truth.
Simultan class="hi2">aan>neously, than class="hi2">aan>t which is fan class="hi2">aan>lse begins to seem plan class="hi2">aan>usible, believan class="hi2">aan>ble, rean class="hi2">aan>listic, convincing, possible, tempting, an class="hi2">aan>nd seemingly true. You couldn't possibly experience it this wan class="hi2">aan>y if you were recognizing whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth rean class="hi2">aan>lly is. "You an class="hi2">aan>ren't seriously buying into than class="hi2">aan>t lie, an class="hi2">aan>re you?"
But becan class="hi2">aan>use you don't, or han class="hi2">aan>ve lost sight of it, or it's unclean class="hi2">aan>r, fan class="hi2">aan>lse things seem to "man class="hi2">aan>ke sense", tan class="hi2">aan>ke on an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ir of rean class="hi2">aan>lity, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ssumed to be unchan class="hi2">aan>llengean class="hi2">aan>ble.
The world is an class="hi2">aan> lie. It is fan class="hi2">aan>lse. It wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de to oppose the nan class="hi2">aan>ture of the Kingdom of God. Since the Kingdom is the rean class="hi2">aan>l truth, the an class="hi2">aan>rtifician class="hi2">aan>l world must tan class="hi2">aan>ke on an class="hi2">aan>ll the chan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>cteristics of something fan class="hi2">aan>lse.
Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns the world must be an class="hi2">aan>n illusion, it must be deceptive, it must be an class="hi2">aan> lie, it must be man class="hi2">aan>de to tempt you to believe it's rean class="hi2">aan>l, it must seem like rean class="hi2">aan>lity, it must seem believan class="hi2">aan>ble ban class="hi2">aan>sed on surfan class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces (forms), it seems to true, an class="hi2">aan>nd it must an class="hi2">aan>lso seem to block rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
Lies an class="hi2">aan>lso han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> lot to do with honesty. Someone who is honest does not lie, is not deceived or deceptive, does not tempt sin an class="hi2">aan>nd does not believe in illusions. an class="hi2">Aan>n honest person recognizes whan class="hi2">aan>t is rean class="hi2">aan>lly true an class="hi2">Aan>ND whan class="hi2">aan>t is rean class="hi2">aan>lly fan class="hi2">aan>lse. They go han class="hi2">aan>nd in han class="hi2">aan>nd. Only the truth is true, an class="hi2">aan>nd everything fan class="hi2">aan>lse is fan class="hi2">aan>lse.
Someone who is honest does not deceive, just an class="hi2">aan>s someone who is dishonest does seek to deceive. The ego, an class="hi2">aan>s we can class="hi2">aan>ll it, is an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>bel for an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to deceive or be deceived. It is an class="hi2">aan> symbol for "an class="hi2">aan> lian class="hi2">aan>r", someone who is putting forth an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of something fan class="hi2">aan>lse, man class="hi2">aan>de of illusions, pretending they an class="hi2">aan>re the truth.

The ego's lies han class="hi2">aan>ve tan class="hi2">aan>ken on the form of an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l plan class="hi2">aan>net, human class="hi2">aan>n bodies, birds in the sky, forests an class="hi2">aan>nd mountan class="hi2">aan>ins, lan class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan>nd rivers an class="hi2">aan>nd fish, wean class="hi2">aan>ther, solan class="hi2">aan>r systems, gan class="hi2">aan>lan class="hi2">aan>xies an class="hi2">aan>nd the like.

The only wan class="hi2">aan>y not to be tempted by the world, is to not believe in it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the only wan class="hi2">aan>y not to believe is to not an class="hi2">aan>ttribute truth to it.

The truth is of God an class="hi2">aan>nd it is completely opposite to everything this world presents to your senses.

The whole idean class="hi2">aan> of "there is no world" is telling you than class="hi2">aan>t the world is fiction, an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, iman class="hi2">aan>gined, man class="hi2">aan>de up.
an class="hi2">Aan>ll lies an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>de up. They an class="hi2">aan>re like stories. We invent them. We man class="hi2">aan>ke them out of nowhere, wean class="hi2">aan>ve them into whan class="hi2">aan>t seem like fean class="hi2">aan>sible mean class="hi2">aan>ningful sequences, but they an class="hi2">aan>re totan class="hi2">aan>l nonsense. Like fan class="hi2">aan>irtytan class="hi2">aan>les. They're not even ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the truth. Just outright totan class="hi2">aan>l lies. Lies of things han class="hi2">aan>ppening an class="hi2">aan>nd people doing things than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>re impossible. Things than class="hi2">aan>t in rean class="hi2">aan>lity could NEVER be true.

It's an class="hi2">aan> world of lies, ban class="hi2">aan>sed on an class="hi2">aan> lie, man class="hi2">aan>de of lies, telling lies an class="hi2">aan>ll the time. The body lies an class="hi2">aan>ll the time. There is nothing to see or hean class="hi2">aan>r or touch or tan class="hi2">aan>ste or smell. There isn't even an class="hi2">aan> world here. Nothing han class="hi2">aan>s even han class="hi2">aan>ppened.

To be an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of the rean class="hi2">aan>l truth is to be clean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t rean class="hi2">aan>lly is true, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is fan class="hi2">aan>lse.

It is not mistan class="hi2">aan>ken for something it is not.
It is fully embran class="hi2">aan>ced an class="hi2">aan>s ONLY God intended it, unchan class="hi2">aan>nged an class="hi2">aan>nd unan class="hi2">aan>ltered, free of an class="hi2">aan>ll deceit an class="hi2">aan>nd denian class="hi2">aan>l.

To be clean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>bout this is enlightenment.
"Enlightenment is but an class="hi2">aan> recognition, not an class="hi2">aan> chan class="hi2">aan>nge an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll."
You not only han class="hi2">aan>ve to be extremely honest you han class="hi2">aan>ve to be an class="hi2">Aan>BSOLUTELY perfectly honest. Perfect honesty mean class="hi2">aan>ns fully willing to an class="hi2">aan>dmit (an class="hi2">aan>llow an class="hi2">aan>ccess to) than class="hi2">aan>t the truth is true.

"The pean class="hi2">aan>ce of mind which the an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>nced tean class="hi2">aan>chers of God experience is lan class="hi2">aan>rgely due to their perfect honesty. It is only the wish to deceive than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes for wan class="hi2">aan>r. No one an class="hi2">aan>t one with himself can class="hi2">aan>n even conceive of conflict. Conflict is the inevitan class="hi2">aan>ble result of self-deception, an class="hi2">aan>nd self-deception is dishonesty."
"Honesty does not an class="hi2">aan>pply only to whan class="hi2">aan>t you san class="hi2">aan>y. The term an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns consistency.

It mean class="hi2">aan>ns honestly presenting an class="hi2">aan>nd representing than class="hi2">aan>t truth without an class="hi2">aan> shred of deception, denian class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>voidan class="hi2">aan>nce, pretense, man class="hi2">aan>nipulan class="hi2">aan>tion, chan class="hi2">aan>nge or distortion.

Either you spean class="hi2">aan>k the truth or you spean class="hi2">aan>k the lies.
The world simply is fan class="hi2">aan>lse. It is nothing. It is not rean class="hi2">aan>lity. It is not God's crean class="hi2">aan>tion. It han class="hi2">aan>s nothing to offer. It isn't doing an class="hi2">aan>nything. It han class="hi2">aan>s no power or mean class="hi2">aan>ning. It produces no rean class="hi2">aan>l consequences. Everything it depicts is fan class="hi2">aan>lse. It han class="hi2">aan>s no life. It han class="hi2">aan>s no shan class="hi2">aan>ring. It han class="hi2">aan>s no truth. The truth is not out there in the world. There is no world for the truth to be out there in.
"Ean class="hi2">aan>rth, Hean class="hi2">aan>ven's opposite in every wan class="hi2">aan>y."
"When the "lies of the serpent" were introduced, they were specifican class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>lled lies becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re not true.

"The Son of God Can class="hi2">Aan>N be mistan class="hi2">aan>ken; he Can class="hi2">Aan>N deceive himself"
"The mind can class="hi2">aan>n not an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, but it Can class="hi2">Aan>N deceive itself."
"The body is the instrument the mind man class="hi2">aan>de in its striving to deceive itself."
"The world you see is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of an class="hi2">aan> world. God did not crean class="hi2">aan>te it, for whan class="hi2">aan>t He crean class="hi2">aan>tes must be eternan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>s Himself. Yet there is nothing in the world you see than class="hi2">aan>t will endure forever. Some things will lan class="hi2">aan>st in time an class="hi2">aan> little while longer than class="hi2">aan>n others. But the time will come when an class="hi2">aan>ll things visible will han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n end.
The body's eyes an class="hi2">aan>re therefore not the mean class="hi2">aan>ns by which the rean class="hi2">aan>l world can class="hi2">aan>n be seen, for the illusions than class="hi2">aan>t they look upon must lean class="hi2">aan>d to more illusions of rean class="hi2">aan>lity. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so they do. For everything they see not only will not lan class="hi2">aan>st, but lends itself to thoughts of sin an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt. While everything than class="hi2">aan>t God crean class="hi2">aan>ted is forever without sin an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore is forever without guilt.
Knowledge is not the remedy for fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception since, being an class="hi2">aan>nother level, they can class="hi2">aan>n never meet. The one correction possible for fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception must be true perception. It will not endure. But for the time it lan class="hi2">aan>sts it comes to hean class="hi2">aan>l. For true perception is an class="hi2">aan> remedy with man class="hi2">aan>ny nan class="hi2">aan>mes. Forgiveness, san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">Aan>tonement, true perception, an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>re one. They an class="hi2">aan>re the one beginning, with the end to lean class="hi2">aan>d to oneness fan class="hi2">aan>r beyond themselves. True perception is the mean class="hi2">aan>ns by which the world is san class="hi2">aan>ved from sin, for sin does not exist. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it is this than class="hi2">aan>t true perception sees.
The world stan class="hi2">aan>nds like an class="hi2">aan> block before Christ's fan class="hi2">aan>ce. But true perception looks on it an class="hi2">aan>s nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n just an class="hi2">aan> fran class="hi2">aan>gile veil, so ean class="hi2">aan>sily dispelled than class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>n lan class="hi2">aan>st no longer than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>n instan class="hi2">aan>nt. It is seen an class="hi2">aan>t lan class="hi2">aan>st for only whan class="hi2">aan>t it is. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now it can class="hi2">aan>nnot fan class="hi2">aan>il to disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r, for now there is an class="hi2">aan>n empty plan class="hi2">aan>ce man class="hi2">aan>de clean class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>dy. Where destruction wan class="hi2">aan>s perceived the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs, an class="hi2">aan>nd in than class="hi2">aan>t instan class="hi2">aan>nt is the world forgot, with time forever ended an class="hi2">aan>s the world spins into nothingness from where it can class="hi2">aan>me.
an class="hi2">Aan> world forgiven can class="hi2">aan>nnot lan class="hi2">aan>st. It wan class="hi2">aan>s the home of bodies. But forgiveness looks pan class="hi2">aan>st bodies. This is its holiness; this is how it hean class="hi2">aan>ls. The world of bodies is the world of sin, for only if there were an class="hi2">aan> body is sin possible. From sin comes guilt an class="hi2">aan>s surely an class="hi2">aan>s forgiveness tan class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan>ll guilt an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y. an class="hi2">Aan>nd once an class="hi2">aan>ll guilt is gone whan class="hi2">aan>t more reman class="hi2">aan>ins to keep an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted world in plan class="hi2">aan>ce?

No two shan class="hi2">aan>re the san class="hi2">aan>me molecules. They can class="hi2">aan>n be similan class="hi2">aan>r, but more often than class="hi2">aan>n not they'll be different in an class="hi2">aan> multitude of wan class="hi2">aan>ys.
The whole world seems to thrive on the differences between bodies. an class="hi2">Aan>nd then we an class="hi2">aan>ll tend to compan class="hi2">aan>re our body to the bodies of others. an class="hi2">Aan>s if we an class="hi2">aan>re our bodies, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s if han class="hi2">aan>ving certan class="hi2">aan>in body an class="hi2">aan>ttributes defines whether we're good enough or lovan class="hi2">aan>ble or correct or fit in.
But an class="hi2">aan>ll bodies were fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>lly born from the idean class="hi2">aan> of inequan class="hi2">aan>lity, difference an class="hi2">aan>nd conflict. They might an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r to be of the san class="hi2">aan>me species, an class="hi2">aan>s if shan class="hi2">aan>ring common chan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>cteristics, but within than class="hi2">aan>t fran class="hi2">aan>mework there is grean class="hi2">aan>t van class="hi2">aan>riety. Even the wings of butterflies an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>ll identican class="hi2">aan>l. Not every fish han class="hi2">aan>s quite the san class="hi2">aan>me scan class="hi2">aan>les. an class="hi2">Aan>nd no two voices an class="hi2">aan>re quite the san class="hi2">aan>me.
Sometimes, those who an class="hi2">aan>re body-identitied then try to an class="hi2">aan>djust to this fan class="hi2">aan>ct by man class="hi2">aan>king out than class="hi2">aan>t the body is specian class="hi2">aan>l for being different. It's unique an class="hi2">aan>nd unan class="hi2">aan>like, stan class="hi2">aan>nding out from the crowd. an class="hi2">Aan>nd then we exan class="hi2">aan>lt them for certan class="hi2">aan>in noticean class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>bilities an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>tures.
But the fan class="hi2">aan>ct is than class="hi2">aan>t in order to han class="hi2">aan>ve something in this world, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to lan class="hi2">aan>ck something else. In order to define yourself an class="hi2">aan>s one thing, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to exlude other things. You can class="hi2">aan>n't han class="hi2">aan>ve or be everything on an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l level. You must be deprived in order to gan class="hi2">aan>in. You must lose in order to win. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you must san class="hi2">aan>crifice in order to mean class="hi2">aan>sure up.
There an class="hi2">aan>re grean class="hi2">aan>t movements towan class="hi2">aan>rds trying to get bodies to be considered equan class="hi2">aan>l. Equan class="hi2">aan>l rights for ean class="hi2">aan>ch gender. Equan class="hi2">aan>l rights or sexuan class="hi2">aan>l persuan class="hi2">aan>sions. Equan class="hi2">aan>l rights for ethnicity or skin color. an class="hi2">Aan>s if to san class="hi2">aan>y, everyone who is an class="hi2">aan> body is the san class="hi2">aan>me. But bodies an class="hi2">aan>re never the san class="hi2">aan>me. No two an class="hi2">aan>re exan class="hi2">aan>ctly the san class="hi2">aan>me, an class="hi2">aan>nd never will be. They can class="hi2">aan>n't be. To be whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re they han class="hi2">aan>ve to lan class="hi2">aan>ck whan class="hi2">aan>t the others han class="hi2">aan>ve.
This mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t no-one can class="hi2">aan>n ever be in an class="hi2">aan> position to han class="hi2">aan>ve everything an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> body. No body can class="hi2">aan>n be perfect. No body han class="hi2">aan>s it an class="hi2">aan>ll. Some might seem to turn out more lucky or fan class="hi2">aan>voran class="hi2">aan>ble than class="hi2">aan>n others. Some an class="hi2">aan>re uglier, some more an class="hi2">aan>esthetic. Some an class="hi2">aan>re lan class="hi2">aan>rger, sman class="hi2">aan>ller, tan class="hi2">aan>ller, thinner. Some man class="hi2">aan>y be fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>lly more an class="hi2">aan>rtistic, more an class="hi2">aan>thletic, quicker to move, clumsier, better shan class="hi2">aan>ped, more man class="hi2">aan>nly or woman class="hi2">aan>nly, better an class="hi2">aan>ble to think or an class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>lyze, more emotionan class="hi2">aan>l etc.
So then it comes down to the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll bodies an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>lly just pieces of equipment. Becan class="hi2">aan>use people an class="hi2">aan>re not bodies an class="hi2">aan>nd minds an class="hi2">aan>re not bodies. So ean class="hi2">aan>ch of us han class="hi2">aan>s this chunk of equipment stran class="hi2">aan>pped onto us which we express through an class="hi2">aan>nd use. But the pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>r configuran class="hi2">aan>tion or "fean class="hi2">aan>tures" of the equipment will determine whan class="hi2">aan>t the body can class="hi2">aan>n seem to do.
I will not ever han class="hi2">aan>ve the low ban class="hi2">aan>ssy voice of Ban class="hi2">aan>rry White. I will not ever han class="hi2">aan>ve feman class="hi2">aan>le pan class="hi2">aan>rts. I will not ever han class="hi2">aan>ve the genetican class="hi2">aan>lly blessed muscle definitions of an class="hi2">Aan>rnold. I will not ever han class="hi2">aan>ve Betty Dan class="hi2">aan>vis's eyes. My legs won't look like than class="hi2">aan>t of an class="hi2">aan>n olympic runner. My fingers an class="hi2">aan>ren't ever going to be nimble enough to plan class="hi2">aan>y Span class="hi2">aan>nish guitan class="hi2">aan>r music. My fan class="hi2">aan>ce isn't ever going to look like an class="hi2">aan> rugged lumberjan class="hi2">aan>ck. an class="hi2">Aan>nd there is just no wan class="hi2">aan>y my bum is ever going to look big in this.
These an class="hi2">aan>re just simply the fan class="hi2">aan>cts of whan class="hi2">aan>t kind of equipment I an class="hi2">aan>m using. an class="hi2">Aan>nd for some people there an class="hi2">aan>re significan class="hi2">aan>nt defects. People with disan class="hi2">aan>bilities, limbs missing, motor control problems, defects of skin, wonky eyes, an class="hi2">aan> propensity for dean class="hi2">aan>dly fan class="hi2">aan>rts, an class="hi2">aan>nd hopelessly crooked teeth. Than class="hi2">aan>t's just whan class="hi2">aan>t the body han class="hi2">aan>s, an class="hi2">aan>nd shows us whan class="hi2">aan>t the body an class="hi2">aan>lso does not han class="hi2">aan>ve.
Both of which go to defining whan class="hi2">aan>t it seems to be can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of. If you identify with your body you an class="hi2">aan>re doomed to enter into an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>lm of compan class="hi2">aan>rison an class="hi2">aan>nd low self esteem an class="hi2">aan>nd dissan class="hi2">aan>tisfan class="hi2">aan>ction an class="hi2">aan>nd dysmorphian class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd food disorders an class="hi2">aan>nd judgement an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>nner of concern. Jean class="hi2">aan>lousy an class="hi2">aan>nd envy an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>tred an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>nger an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>dness an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll sorts of stuff can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>rise from this. Becan class="hi2">aan>use if the body's limitan class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>re considered the truth of you, then the fan class="hi2">aan>ct is than class="hi2">aan>t EVERYONE is limited in one wan class="hi2">aan>y or an class="hi2">aan>nother, an class="hi2">aan>nd no-one in the whole world will ever han class="hi2">aan>ve physican class="hi2">aan>l perfection.
"Freedom must be impossible an class="hi2">aan>s long an class="hi2">aan>s you perceive an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>s yourself. The body is an class="hi2">aan> limit. Who would seek for freedom in an class="hi2">aan> body looks for it where it can class="hi2">aan>n not be found."
"It is only the an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of the body than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes love seem limited. For the body IS an class="hi2">aan> limit on love. The belief in limited love wan class="hi2">aan>s its origin, an class="hi2">aan>nd it wan class="hi2">aan>s Man class="hi2">Aan>DE to limit the UNlimited. Think not than class="hi2">aan>t this is merely an class="hi2">aan>llegorican class="hi2">aan>l; for it wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de to limit YOU. Can class="hi2">aan>n you who see yourselves WITHIN an class="hi2">aan> body, know yourself an class="hi2">Aan>S an class="hi2">Aan>N IDEan class="hi2">Aan>? Everything you recognize you identify by EXTERNan class="hi2">Aan>LS, something OUTSIDE itself. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot even think of GOD without an class="hi2">aan> body, or some form you think you recognize. The body can class="hi2">aan>nnot KNOW. an class="hi2">Aan>nd while you limit your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness to its tiny senses, you will not see the gran class="hi2">aan>ndeur than class="hi2">aan>t surrounds you."
"The body is an class="hi2">aan> limit imposed on the universan class="hi2">aan>l communican class="hi2">aan>tion which is an class="hi2">aan>n eternan class="hi2">aan>l property of mind."
an class="hi2">Aan>LL bodies an class="hi2">aan>re lan class="hi2">aan>cking an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll bodies an class="hi2">aan>re defective an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll bodies an class="hi2">aan>re limited an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll bodies an class="hi2">aan>re specian class="hi2">aan>l. They're supposed to be. They were man class="hi2">aan>de in an class="hi2">aan>n effort to limit you an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> decoy an class="hi2">aan>nd disguise for your inner perfection. They were mean class="hi2">aan>nt to sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te you off an class="hi2">aan>nd confine you an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ct like an class="hi2">aan> prison wan class="hi2">aan>ll. an class="hi2">Aan>nd they were designed to be an class="hi2">aan> representan class="hi2">aan>tion of whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re NOT like.
"God did not man class="hi2">aan>ke the body, becan class="hi2">aan>use it is destructible, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore not of the Kingdom. The body is the symbol of WHan class="hi2">Aan>T YOU THINK YOU an class="hi2">Aan>RE. It is clean class="hi2">aan>rly an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion device, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore does not exist."
Some bodies thus seem to han class="hi2">aan>ve tan class="hi2">aan>lents or an class="hi2">aan>bilities than class="hi2">aan>t others do not, or an class="hi2">aan>ptitudes or intelligences or pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>r quirks than class="hi2">aan>t others lan class="hi2">aan>ck. Some seem to be born blessed an class="hi2">aan>nd others cursed. Some han class="hi2">aan>ve wonderful voices an class="hi2">aan>nd others sound like an class="hi2">aan> freight tran class="hi2">aan>in. Some an class="hi2">aan>re bean class="hi2">aan>utifully symmetrican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd others an class="hi2">aan>re like an class="hi2">aan> lopsided lump of lan class="hi2">aan>rd. These an class="hi2">aan>re just the wan class="hi2">aan>y bodies an class="hi2">aan>re. They an class="hi2">aan>re grean class="hi2">aan>tly van class="hi2">aan>ried an class="hi2">aan>nd unan class="hi2">aan>like an class="hi2">aan>nd unfan class="hi2">aan>milian class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd unequan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd unnan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l.
Some will tan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>ge of the pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>r tran class="hi2">aan>its of their pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>r body to try to man class="hi2">aan>ximize its can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>bilities. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this usuan class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns certan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>ptitudes in certan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan>s. Some become bran class="hi2">aan>in surgeons while totan class="hi2">aan>lly sucking an class="hi2">aan>t singing. Others become pop stan class="hi2">aan>rs but completely suck an class="hi2">aan>t relan class="hi2">aan>tionships. Some become an class="hi2">aan>thletes but can class="hi2">aan>n't dan class="hi2">aan>nce to san class="hi2">aan>ve their lives. an class="hi2">Aan>nd others just get dean class="hi2">aan>lt an class="hi2">aan> ban class="hi2">aan>d han class="hi2">aan>nd of shit an class="hi2">aan>nd cran class="hi2">aan>p an class="hi2">aan>nd deformity an class="hi2">aan>nd bullshit. Then we han class="hi2">aan>ve to sort of man class="hi2">aan>ke the best of it, or just han class="hi2">aan>te ourselves.
We can class="hi2">aan>n't look to the body for perfection becan class="hi2">aan>use perfection mean class="hi2">aan>ns wholeness. Bodies an class="hi2">aan>re limited an class="hi2">aan>nd van class="hi2">aan>ried an class="hi2">aan>nd none of them han class="hi2">aan>ve everything, so none of them an class="hi2">aan>re whole. They an class="hi2">aan>re fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>lly lan class="hi2">aan>cking. Not one of them can class="hi2">aan>n fully or an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>tely represent who an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re. None of them look like you. an class="hi2">Aan>nd none of them can class="hi2">aan>n picture whan class="hi2">aan>t you rean class="hi2">aan>lly look like.
"For whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>nnot be seen nor pictured."
If you identify with or an class="hi2">Aan>S your body, or your body's an class="hi2">aan>ttributes or an class="hi2">aan>bilities, or the roles you an class="hi2">aan>ssign it or the lan class="hi2">aan>bels you give it, you an class="hi2">aan>re mis-identifying yourself an class="hi2">aan>nd do not know who an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re. This nan class="hi2">aan>rrows you an class="hi2">aan>nd confines you an class="hi2">aan>nd shuts you in an class="hi2">aan> prison an class="hi2">aan>nd plan class="hi2">aan>ces man class="hi2">aan>jor limitan class="hi2">aan>tions on you. It distorts an class="hi2">aan>nd shuts down your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, diminishes your mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd deran class="hi2">aan>nges your mind.
In fan class="hi2">aan>ct, Jesus tells us than class="hi2">aan>t if we conceive of ourselves an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> body in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y, even slightly, we an class="hi2">aan>re in fan class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re. Given than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re perfect whole spirit lan class="hi2">aan>cking nothing an class="hi2">aan>nd shan class="hi2">aan>ring everything, when we identify with or an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> body we an class="hi2">aan>re literan class="hi2">aan>lly putting limits on ourselves. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck on ourselves, which produces symptoms of sickness, which then man class="hi2">aan>nifest in the body. So now the body becomes sick if you believe you an class="hi2">aan>re your body, becan class="hi2">aan>use you're shutting down your unlimited life.
"If you let your mind han class="hi2">aan>rbor an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck thoughts, yield to judgment or man class="hi2">aan>ke plan class="hi2">aan>ns an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst uncertan class="hi2">aan>inties to come, you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in misplan class="hi2">aan>ced yourself, an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan> bodily identity which will an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck the body, for the mind is sick."
"an class="hi2">Aan>ny relan class="hi2">aan>tionship in which the body enters is ban class="hi2">aan>sed, NOT on love, but on idolan class="hi2">aan>try."
"The ego is idolan class="hi2">aan>try; the sign of limited an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted self, born in an class="hi2">aan> body, doomed to suffer an class="hi2">aan>nd to end its life in dean class="hi2">aan>th. It is the will than class="hi2">aan>t sees the Will of God an class="hi2">aan>s enemy, an class="hi2">aan>nd tan class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan> form in which It is denied.

"It is still true than class="hi2">aan>t the body han class="hi2">aan>s no function of itself. This is becan class="hi2">aan>use it is NOT an class="hi2">aan>n end."
"The love of God, for an class="hi2">aan> little while, must still be expressed through one body to an class="hi2">aan>nother. Than class="hi2">aan>t is becan class="hi2">aan>use the rean class="hi2">aan>l vision is still so dim.

The body is supposed to become UNNECESSan class="hi2">Aan>RY to you. Un-needed, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>st off. an class="hi2">Aan>dding nothing to you. Giving you no an class="hi2">aan>bilities. Not defining you or limiting you or getting in your wan class="hi2">aan>y. Nor does it reman class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd succeed in doing this, becan class="hi2">aan>use the body han class="hi2">aan>s to go in order for you to experience unlimitedness.

"For the body IS an class="hi2">aan> limit on love.

The body must be tran class="hi2">aan>nscended, then let go completely. You must surmount it an class="hi2">aan>nd go beyond it.

Consider a script which you fully planned

Consider the idean class="hi2">aan> of an class="hi2">aan> script for your life which you fully plan class="hi2">aan>nned, consented to, an class="hi2">aan>nd pan class="hi2">aan>ssionan class="hi2">aan>tely wan class="hi2">aan>nted, before you can class="hi2">aan>me into this lifetime. Iman class="hi2">aan>gine than class="hi2">aan>t you organ class="hi2">aan>nized an class="hi2">aan>nd orchestran class="hi2">aan>ted every single interan class="hi2">aan>ction. You crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>greements with every single person you would ever meet an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>sked them to do to you every single thing they were to do, with which they would comply. Iman class="hi2">aan>gine an class="hi2">aan>lso than class="hi2">aan>t only whan class="hi2">aan>t you plan class="hi2">aan>nned would han class="hi2">aan>ppen an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing else would han class="hi2">aan>ppen - except you would an class="hi2">aan>lso forget than class="hi2">aan>t you plan class="hi2">aan>nned it.
an class="hi2">Aan>CIM does spean class="hi2">aan>k to this, in than class="hi2">aan>t it san class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t nothing han class="hi2">aan>ppens to you than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve not an class="hi2">aan>sked for, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t you get *everything* you an class="hi2">aan>sk for, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t you get *nothing* than class="hi2">aan>t you did not an class="hi2">aan>sk for. It an class="hi2">aan>lso spean class="hi2">aan>ks to this when it san class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t nobody dies without his own consent. NOBODY DIES WITHOUT THEIR OWN CONSENT.
an class="hi2">Aan>t some point, somewhere, whether it's in this life or before this life, but somewhere, for an class="hi2">Aan>CIM to be TRUE on this man class="hi2">aan>tter, you ****MUST**** han class="hi2">aan>ve consented to every single thing than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s ever han class="hi2">aan>ppened in your life. an class="hi2">Aan>BSOLUTELY an class="hi2">Aan>LL OF IT. Not only consented to it but crean class="hi2">aan>ted it, an class="hi2">aan>sked for it, wan class="hi2">aan>nted it, designed it an class="hi2">aan>nd even set it in motion YOURSELF. Not by an class="hi2">aan>ny outside force or coercion or an class="hi2">Aan>NY an class="hi2">aan>mount of victimhood whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever. (this is somewhan class="hi2">aan>t described in the "song of pran class="hi2">aan>yer" pan class="hi2">aan>mphlet an class="hi2">aan>s well)
Remember the Course an class="hi2">aan>lso san class="hi2">aan>ys the key to san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion is this - than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re but doing this to yourself.
IF the Course is telling the truth (an class="hi2">aan>nd it is), then everything than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s ever han class="hi2">aan>ppened in 'your life' han class="hi2">aan>s been exan class="hi2">aan>ctly designed by an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>sked for by you. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of it. So this tan class="hi2">aan>kes quite an class="hi2">aan> lot of 'fessing up', which an class="hi2">aan>lso mean class="hi2">aan>ns your life must become totan class="hi2">aan>lly void of victimhood.
If you look now, an class="hi2">aan>nd you look ban class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>t some things than class="hi2">aan>t you recognize an class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ving 'han class="hi2">aan>ppened' in your life, pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>rly events which involved people where they seemed to influence you in an class="hi2">Aan>NY wan class="hi2">aan>y, an class="hi2">aan>nd in pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>r in whan class="hi2">aan>t *looked like* an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of negan class="hi2">aan>tive wan class="hi2">aan>y, then you need to now reinterpret than class="hi2">aan>t. If you can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>llow yourself to an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPT than class="hi2">aan>t you plan class="hi2">aan>nned an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>sked for every single detan class="hi2">aan>il of whan class="hi2">aan>t occurred, then an class="hi2">aan> few insights must an class="hi2">aan>rise:
1) You han class="hi2">aan>ve to rean class="hi2">aan>lize there wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> REan class="hi2">Aan>SON WHY you plan class="hi2">aan>nned whan class="hi2">aan>t you did, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t rean class="hi2">aan>son wan class="hi2">aan>s FOR YOUR GOOD. Every single thing than class="hi2">aan>t you designed must han class="hi2">aan>ve been for an class="hi2">aan>n intended purpose of, ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely, lean class="hi2">aan>ding you to an class="hi2">aan> spirituan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening. Every single 'lesson' or scenan class="hi2">aan>rio than class="hi2">aan>t you put together, MUST han class="hi2">aan>ve been intended to HELP YOU in some wan class="hi2">aan>y.
2) With the informan class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll events an class="hi2">aan>re helpful, this must then shed an class="hi2">aan> new light on an class="hi2">aan>ll of these tran class="hi2">aan>gic pan class="hi2">aan>st experiences, to show you than class="hi2">aan>t SOMEHOW, whan class="hi2">aan>tever han class="hi2">aan>ppened, an class="hi2">aan>nd no man class="hi2">aan>tter how it looked an class="hi2">aan>t the time, somehow than class="hi2">aan>t event an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t person were ONLY doing whan class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s in your script an class="hi2">aan>nd they performed it perfectly. Therefore they weren't REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY an class="hi2">aan> victimizer. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you weren't REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY an class="hi2">aan> victim. an class="hi2">Aan>t the time, yes, you believed you were, but here's the thing. You only believe you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> victim when you an class="hi2">aan>re UNan class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RE than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> script-writer.
3) This now gives rise to the insight than class="hi2">aan>t every wan class="hi2">aan>y you've experienced being an class="hi2">aan> victim in the pan class="hi2">aan>st, wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result of an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck of an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness on your pan class="hi2">aan>rt, in which you experienced something designed to HELP YOU but interpreted it initian class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>s HURTING YOU. This symbolican class="hi2">aan>lly is the san class="hi2">aan>me thing an class="hi2">aan>s being loved by God but believing than class="hi2">aan>t you're an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly being an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked by God. Ie it seemed an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst you ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n for you. So an class="hi2">aan>ll of the wan class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t you STILL hold onto pan class="hi2">aan>st events with an class="hi2">aan> grievan class="hi2">aan>nce, thinking of them an class="hi2">aan>s 'wrong' or 'unwan class="hi2">aan>nted' or 'ban class="hi2">aan>d' or 'unplean class="hi2">aan>san class="hi2">aan>nt' or whan class="hi2">aan>tever, blan class="hi2">aan>ming the other person, an class="hi2">aan>ll of than class="hi2">aan>t INTERPRETan class="hi2">Aan>TION of events can class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>bout ONLY becan class="hi2">aan>use you did not remember than class="hi2">aan>t you wrote the script. It looked like you didn't an class="hi2">aan>sk for whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppened, which, IF it were true, WOULD justify your an class="hi2">aan>nger an class="hi2">aan>nd hurt an class="hi2">aan>nd offense. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns, you need to to be more truly forgiving, ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely an class="hi2">aan>ccepting the an class="hi2">aan>tonement.
4) This now helps you to see than class="hi2">aan>t, ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely, everyone involved is INNOCENT, becan class="hi2">aan>use nobody han class="hi2">aan>s done an class="hi2">aan>nything outside of the contran class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>nd nobody ELSE is responsible for han class="hi2">aan>ving done an class="hi2">aan>nything TO YOU an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will. Your will is embedded in your script which YOU WROTE, so even if you now find yourself unan class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of this an class="hi2">aan>nd experiencing victimhood, YOU DID STILL WRITE IT. So you can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>rdly blan class="hi2">aan>me the other person. So now you need to go look an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll the unhean class="hi2">aan>led grievan class="hi2">aan>nces than class="hi2">aan>t you still han class="hi2">aan>ven't let go of, an class="hi2">aan>nd which you still interpret in an class="hi2">aan> victim consciousness than class="hi2">aan>t san class="hi2">aan>ys "I didn't wan class="hi2">aan>nt this to han class="hi2">aan>ppen", "this wan class="hi2">aan>sn't fan class="hi2">aan>ir", "they did it to me an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst my will" etc.... you Han class="hi2">Aan>VE to reinterpret than class="hi2">aan>t.
5) This now lean class="hi2">aan>ds us to Tan class="hi2">Aan>KING RESPONSIBILITY. This might seem like an class="hi2">aan> step which plan class="hi2">aan>ces an class="hi2">aan> shitloan class="hi2">aan>d of guilt on your shoulders, blan class="hi2">aan>ming yourself for whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppened, blan class="hi2">aan> blan class="hi2">aan> blan class="hi2">aan>. Than class="hi2">aan>t's ego. Whan class="hi2">aan>t it rean class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> doorwan class="hi2">aan>y to FREEDOM an class="hi2">aan>nd RELIEF. You see, if you scripted an class="hi2">aan>ll this, an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>sked xyz person to do whan class="hi2">aan>t they did, an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>dmit than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nd own than class="hi2">aan>t fan class="hi2">aan>ct, then you can class="hi2">aan>n let them off the hook. You can class="hi2">aan>n rean class="hi2">aan>lize they did not victimize you. YOU victimized you. You hired them to can class="hi2">aan>rry out your wishes. If you an class="hi2">aan>re responsible for writing your script (an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ybe you han class="hi2">aan>d help on the other side to do this gently/rean class="hi2">aan>listican class="hi2">aan>lly etc), then you can class="hi2">aan>n no longer blan class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>nyone else for whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens, in the pan class="hi2">aan>st or in the future. It an class="hi2">aan>lso mean class="hi2">aan>ns you can class="hi2">aan>n no longer view experiences an class="hi2">aan>s unwan class="hi2">aan>nted, ban class="hi2">aan>d, an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst you, unhelpful, hurtful, something to resist, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, or an class="hi2">aan>ny other form of victimizan class="hi2">aan>tion. Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns, yes, whan class="hi2">aan>tever they did, whan class="hi2">aan>tever han class="hi2">aan>ppened, you wan class="hi2">aan>nted it an class="hi2">aan>nd got whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nted, FOR an class="hi2">Aan> REan class="hi2">Aan>SON, to HELP YOU to wan class="hi2">aan>ke up.
6) Han class="hi2">aan>ving now an class="hi2">aan>dmitted to this responsibility, an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>rted to an class="hi2">aan>ccess the sense of RELIEF an class="hi2">aan>nd freedom than class="hi2">aan>t this gives you... becan class="hi2">aan>use dropping the whole victim dran class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan> is an class="hi2">aan> RELIEF from suffering, you can class="hi2">aan>n now enter into GRan class="hi2">Aan>TITUDE. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot be gran class="hi2">aan>teful to an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cker while you think you didn't an class="hi2">aan>sk them to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck you. But you can class="hi2">aan>n be gran class="hi2">aan>teful to them when you rean class="hi2">aan>lize you DID an class="hi2">aan>sk them to an class="hi2">Aan>ND you can class="hi2">aan>n turn your mind to look an class="hi2">aan>t the situan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>s helpful/for you. It's like looking for the silver linings. Whan class="hi2">aan>t's han class="hi2">aan>ppening is NOT an class="hi2">aan> terrible tran class="hi2">aan>gedy or an class="hi2">aan> horrible event gone wrong. Than class="hi2">aan>t's illusion. Whan class="hi2">aan>t's han class="hi2">aan>ppening is trying to help you to be steered in the right direction or to keep you san class="hi2">aan>fe or to help you lean class="hi2">aan>rn who you an class="hi2">aan>re or to guide you to remembering whan class="hi2">aan>ts true or to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to love an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>re etc.. whan class="hi2">aan>tever the purposes an class="hi2">aan>re in your plan class="hi2">aan>n for spirituan class="hi2">aan>l "growth."
7) Finan class="hi2">aan>lly then you han class="hi2">aan>ve to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to chan class="hi2">aan>nge the 'direction' or an class="hi2">aan>ngle from which you look an class="hi2">aan>t events. If you're responsible an class="hi2">aan>nd everything is for your good, then you need to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to 'tan class="hi2">aan>ke it' than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>y. Look for the helpfulness. Look for how it is 'positive'. Look for the silver lining, the lean class="hi2">aan>rning, the opportunity its giving you. Look an class="hi2">aan>t how it is man class="hi2">aan>king you grow or whan class="hi2">aan>t you're lean class="hi2">aan>rning from it. Ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely then there is only one LESSON, in the form of an class="hi2">aan>ll lessons. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it's this. You need to overcome the NEED for the lesson by recognizing the truth, owning up to the responsibility of who you rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re (owning your innocence), entering into the mindset of the Holy Spirit which shows you than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re never an class="hi2">aan> victim, an class="hi2">aan>nd reclan class="hi2">aan>iming your FREEDOM from the dran class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>s of the ego. Ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely this tran class="hi2">aan>nslan class="hi2">aan>tes to you OVERLOOKING (forgiveness) an class="hi2">aan>ll of the wan class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t you get LOST in the 'gan class="hi2">aan>me' than class="hi2">aan>t you set up, so than class="hi2">aan>t you literan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re no longer Can class="hi2">Aan>Pan class="hi2">Aan>BLE of plan class="hi2">aan>ying the gan class="hi2">aan>me. Once the truth is revean class="hi2">aan>led, you can class="hi2">aan>n never forget it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so you no longer need to crean class="hi2">aan>te these dran class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>s ever an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in.
Remember, nothing han class="hi2">aan>ppens to you an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will. There an class="hi2">aan>re no an class="hi2">aan>ccidents. Nothing han class="hi2">aan>ppens than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>sn't plan class="hi2">aan>nned an class="hi2">aan>t some point in time BY YOU. Nothing is being forced upon you an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will.
You might find yourself 'inside an class="hi2">aan> lesson' in this lifetime an class="hi2">aan>nd feeling stuck in it, victmized by it, limited by it. But you might not an class="hi2">aan>lso remember the benefits of this situan class="hi2">aan>tion. Man class="hi2">aan>ybe it han class="hi2">aan>s indirect effects on the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l growth of other people. Man class="hi2">aan>ybe by suffering an class="hi2">aan> sickness you HELP other people to lean class="hi2">aan>rn compan class="hi2">aan>ssion. Man class="hi2">aan>ybe by being an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id you give others an class="hi2">aan>n opportunity to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to nurture. We're an class="hi2">aan>ll this big soup of roleplan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>nd side-effects an class="hi2">aan>nd responses.
an class="hi2">Aan>lso let's just finish by san class="hi2">aan>ying you're not stuck with an class="hi2">aan> lesson. Holy Spirit Wan class="hi2">Aan>NTS you to lean class="hi2">aan>rn the lesson. The an class="hi2">aan>nswer to it is not being hidden from you. Often Holy Spirit tells me, in the midst of some frustran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd confusion, "its an class="hi2">aan> lesson". So them I'm like.. hmm... whan class="hi2">aan>t is this lesson, whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>m I mean class="hi2">aan>nt to lean class="hi2">aan>rn? an class="hi2">Aan>nd it's not like Holy Spirit is withholding the an class="hi2">aan>nswer, but I need to experientian class="hi2">aan>lly becoming willing to an class="hi2">aan>ccept some mean class="hi2">aan>sure of truth in order to complete the need for the situan class="hi2">aan>tion. The lesson man class="hi2">aan>y not be obvious.
In fan class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan> recent lesson for me wan class="hi2">aan>s to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to DROP the idean class="hi2">aan> of miran class="hi2">aan>culously hean class="hi2">aan>ling an class="hi2">aan> problem with my eye, so than class="hi2">aan>t i would let go of fan class="hi2">aan>lse idean class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>bout control an class="hi2">aan>nd spirituan class="hi2">aan>lizan class="hi2">aan>tion of my ego, even though this outcome seemed an class="hi2">aan>t the time to be totan class="hi2">aan>lly the opposite of whan class="hi2">aan>t I thought I needed to do.

Whan class="hi2">aan>t is one thing, must be kept an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt from an class="hi2">aan>nother thing. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this produces whan class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>ll "duan class="hi2">aan>lity".
So then we think an class="hi2">aan>long the lines of, "either this is true or than class="hi2">aan>t is true, but they can class="hi2">aan>n't both be true." Or than class="hi2">aan>t "I can class="hi2">aan>n choose this or than class="hi2">aan>t but not both."
We use this pan class="hi2">aan>ttern of thinking an class="hi2">aan>ll over the plan class="hi2">aan>ce. It man class="hi2">aan>ps very well to the physican class="hi2">aan>l world. Physican class="hi2">aan>l objects an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> projection of the ego idean class="hi2">aan> of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll things an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd everything is different. This is rean class="hi2">aan>lly the logican class="hi2">aan>l idean class="hi2">aan> of "GOD IS NOT" .. the negan class="hi2">aan>tion of hean class="hi2">aan>ven's rean class="hi2">aan>lity - opposite to "GOD IS".
For exan class="hi2">aan>mple, I can class="hi2">aan>n turn left or right, but not both. an class="hi2">Aan> ban class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan> is not blue. My body is not your body. I can class="hi2">aan>n move up or down. an class="hi2">Aan> can class="hi2">aan>r is not an class="hi2">aan> house. I can class="hi2">aan>n pan class="hi2">aan>rk in the first span class="hi2">aan>ce or the second span class="hi2">aan>ce. I will ean class="hi2">aan>t the red an class="hi2">aan>pple or the green an class="hi2">aan>pple. I choose between an class="hi2">aan> van class="hi2">aan>can class="hi2">aan>tion in Floridan class="hi2">aan> or Can class="hi2">aan>lifornian class="hi2">aan>. an class="hi2">Aan>n an class="hi2">aan>pple is not an class="hi2">aan>n oran class="hi2">aan>nge. an class="hi2">Aan> dog is not an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>t.
This seems to work fine in this world. The world itself is an class="hi2">aan> system of exclusion an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, becan class="hi2">aan>use it is an class="hi2">aan> projection of the idean class="hi2">aan> of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. It han class="hi2">aan>s produced an class="hi2">aan> world where everything is different. an class="hi2">Aan>nd where it seems than class="hi2">aan>t one thing is not an class="hi2">aan>nother thing. This is the illusion of form. The problem is than class="hi2">aan>t we now use this wan class="hi2">aan>y of thinking an class="hi2">aan>bout EVERYTHING. Even when thinking an class="hi2">aan>bout things which an class="hi2">aan>re NOT pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, such an class="hi2">aan>s God's rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
The rean class="hi2">aan>lly big problem is than class="hi2">aan>t hean class="hi2">aan>ven, God's Kingdom, the Sonship, DOES NOT comply with an class="hi2">aan>n "either/or" kind of system. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan>bout INCLUSION, not exclusion. It is an class="hi2">aan>bout shan class="hi2">aan>ring, not isolan class="hi2">aan>tion. It is an class="hi2">aan> system which runs on an class="hi2">aan> VERY different logican class="hi2">aan>l ban class="hi2">aan>sis.
Hean class="hi2">aan>ven operan class="hi2">aan>tes on an class="hi2">aan> "BOTH/an class="hi2">Aan>ND" kind of structure. Where BOTH an class="hi2">aan>re true. Where the truth an class="hi2">aan>pplies to one thing an class="hi2">Aan>ND an class="hi2">aan>nother. Where two things can class="hi2">aan>n SHan class="hi2">Aan>RE everything. This even mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t one thing can class="hi2">aan>n be two things simultan class="hi2">aan>neously, an class="hi2">aan>nd two things can class="hi2">aan>n be one thing simultan class="hi2">aan>neously. Nothing is required to "stan class="hi2">aan>y in an class="hi2">aan> box by itself."
The notion of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te boxes does not an class="hi2">aan>pply to the Kingdom. It is not divided up by SPan class="hi2">Aan>CE, becan class="hi2">aan>use there is no span class="hi2">aan>ce or time. Things in hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>re not limited, or required to exclude ean class="hi2">aan>ch other. They an class="hi2">aan>re not isolan class="hi2">aan>ted to sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te prisons, kept an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt, or sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted off.
EVERYTHING in rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>bides by an class="hi2">aan>n entirely different system of logic. This system of logic is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the thought system of God. It is how God himself thinks an class="hi2">aan>nd crean class="hi2">aan>tes. It is totan class="hi2">aan>lly opposite to the idean class="hi2">aan> of "either this or than class="hi2">aan>t". It TRan class="hi2">Aan>NSCENDS boundan class="hi2">aan>ries.
For exan class="hi2">aan>mple, whan class="hi2">aan>t is true of God is true of the Son. The truth is the San class="hi2">Aan>ME for both of them. Whan class="hi2">aan>t is true of one son, is true of an class="hi2">aan>nother. This forms the Golden Rule. There is ONE truth, which an class="hi2">Aan>LL things shan class="hi2">aan>re. an class="hi2">Aan>nd shan class="hi2">aan>ring is an class="hi2">aan> fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>l property of rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
True shan class="hi2">aan>ring mean class="hi2">aan>ns, than class="hi2">aan>t the whole of something, tran class="hi2">aan>nscends an class="hi2">aan>ll sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>lls, an class="hi2">aan>nd is fully present in an class="hi2">Aan>LL locan class="hi2">aan>tions. It's not an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of "is it this or than class="hi2">aan>t". It's more an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of it being BOTH this an class="hi2">Aan>ND than class="hi2">aan>t. BOTH/an class="hi2">Aan>ND is the system of hean class="hi2">aan>ven, an class="hi2">aan>nd "NOT BOTH" or "NEITHER" is the system of the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion.
For exan class="hi2">aan>mple in the course we're told than class="hi2">aan>t idean class="hi2">aan>s can class="hi2">aan>n be shan class="hi2">aan>red an class="hi2">aan>nd both the giver an class="hi2">aan>nd the receiver can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ve the san class="hi2">aan>me idean class="hi2">aan>, lean class="hi2">aan>ding to an class="hi2">aan>n increan class="hi2">aan>se. Than class="hi2">aan>t by shan class="hi2">aan>ring, or joining, two beings can class="hi2">aan>n both han class="hi2">aan>ve everything. Than class="hi2">aan>t by giving, you in fan class="hi2">aan>ct receive, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n lose.
In an class="hi2">aan>n either/or system, EITHER you can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ve something, OR the other person can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ve it. This is true of span class="hi2">aan>cetime, but it is NOT true of hean class="hi2">aan>ven. In hean class="hi2">aan>ven, even if you give everything an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y, you KEEP it. This is how God wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ble to crean class="hi2">aan>te you, by giving an class="hi2">Aan>LL of himself, an class="hi2">aan>nd yet still retan class="hi2">aan>ins an class="hi2">aan>ll of himself. In ego terms, God should've cean class="hi2">aan>sed to exist if he truly gan class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ll of himself.
The only wan class="hi2">aan>y to understan class="hi2">aan>nd how it is POSSIBLE, for both me an class="hi2">Aan>ND you to han class="hi2">aan>ve everything, is to think in terms of both/an class="hi2">aan>nd. This is can class="hi2">aan>lled pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>logican class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>soning - you can class="hi2">aan>n google it. If I give everything to you, we can class="hi2">aan>n BOTH han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ll of it. We now both shan class="hi2">aan>re the entirety of it.
This obviously tran class="hi2">aan>nscends boundan class="hi2">aan>ries becan class="hi2">aan>use, the ego would rean class="hi2">aan>son than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>tever I give an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y I lose. If I give you han class="hi2">aan>lf my pizzan class="hi2">aan>, I only han class="hi2">aan>ve han class="hi2">aan>lf an class="hi2">aan> pizzan class="hi2">aan> left. But in hean class="hi2">aan>ven, this does not an class="hi2">aan>pply. We can class="hi2">aan>n BOTH han class="hi2">aan>ve the WHOLE pizzan class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time.
In an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles, every subject an class="hi2">aan>nd discussion relan class="hi2">aan>ted to the ego's rean class="hi2">aan>lm of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, can class="hi2">aan>n be thought of USING exclusive rean class="hi2">aan>soning. Becan class="hi2">aan>use it is an class="hi2">aan> system of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. However, an class="hi2">aan>s soon an class="hi2">aan>s you stan class="hi2">aan>rt to think an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan>nything PRE-sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>bout hean class="hi2">aan>ven or rean class="hi2">aan>lity or God or the Sonship, or rean class="hi2">aan>l relan class="hi2">aan>tionships between crean class="hi2">aan>ted beings, you Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT USE IT.
If you do, you in fan class="hi2">aan>ct will end up with two things han class="hi2">aan>ppening. 1) You will project "required sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tions" where they do NOT exist. 2) You will fan class="hi2">aan>il to an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tions where they DO exist. an class="hi2">Aan>n either/or process of rean class="hi2">aan>soning does NOT man class="hi2">aan>p to hean class="hi2">aan>ven, an class="hi2">aan>nd is completely distorting of it an class="hi2">aan>nd blind to its nan class="hi2">aan>ture. They an class="hi2">aan>re INCOMPan class="hi2">Aan>TIBLE.
This especian class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppens for exan class="hi2">aan>mple when people try to understan class="hi2">aan>nd the idean class="hi2">aan> of the "one son". There an class="hi2">Aan>RE indeed man class="hi2">aan>ny stan class="hi2">aan>tements than class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s only one son. But, there an class="hi2">Aan>LSO an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>ny stan class="hi2">aan>tements than class="hi2">aan>t God directly crean class="hi2">aan>ted man class="hi2">aan>ny sons. In rean class="hi2">aan>lity, perman class="hi2">aan>nently, an class="hi2">aan>s brothers. This is the full scope of the course man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l. Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys BOTH things an class="hi2">aan>re true.
So then whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens is, people stan class="hi2">aan>rt to think WITH the ego an class="hi2">aan>bout this. They stan class="hi2">aan>rt looking for sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te boxes. They wan class="hi2">aan>nt to put things into one box, OR an class="hi2">aan>nother box, but not both. So they'll think, ok, it seems more whole to san class="hi2">aan>y there is only ONE BOX, an class="hi2">aan>nd so the "one son" stan class="hi2">aan>tements must be true. an class="hi2">Aan>nd since TWO boxes seems to be "an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion", the idean class="hi2">aan> of man class="hi2">aan>ny sons must be fan class="hi2">aan>lse.
This is however an class="hi2">aan> complete logican class="hi2">aan>l fan class="hi2">aan>ilure. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is not structured by boxes or sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tions like this. One son, is in fan class="hi2">aan>ct, an class="hi2">aan>nother son. Ean class="hi2">Aan>CH individuan class="hi2">aan>l being God crean class="hi2">aan>ted, is in fan class="hi2">aan>ct, an class="hi2">Aan>LSO, the other beings.
"One brother is an class="hi2">aan>ll brothers. Every mind contan class="hi2">aan>ins an class="hi2">aan>ll minds, for every mind is one. Such is the truth." (urtext W161L4)
So we see an class="hi2">aan> lot of SEEMINGLY contran class="hi2">aan>dictory stan class="hi2">aan>tements, which in an class="hi2">aan> both/an class="hi2">aan>nd system an class="hi2">aan>re NOT contran class="hi2">aan>dictions. Like this:
"God han class="hi2">aan>s but one Son, knowing them an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>s One." (urtext T9E3)
Whan class="hi2">aan>t is going to han class="hi2">aan>ppen to this if someone uses either/or rean class="hi2">aan>soning? You'll san class="hi2">aan>y, EITHER, God han class="hi2">aan>s one son, OR, God han class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>ny sons. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t they can class="hi2">aan>n't BOTH be true. You will likely side with the one son pan class="hi2">aan>rt, an class="hi2">aan>nd relegan class="hi2">aan>te the "them an class="hi2">aan>ll" to some other rean class="hi2">aan>lm of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, such an class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the ego or drean class="hi2">aan>m or split mind. This is an class="hi2">aan>n error.
It is in fan class="hi2">aan>ct true, than class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s one son, which IS Man class="hi2">Aan>DE UP OF, man class="hi2">aan>ny sons, which is the Sonship. an class="hi2">Aan>nd these man class="hi2">aan>ny beings an class="hi2">Aan>RE man class="hi2">aan>ny in number. BUT, they an class="hi2">aan>re not JUST man class="hi2">aan>ny, like in duan class="hi2">aan>lity. They an class="hi2">aan>re in fan class="hi2">aan>ct SIMULTan class="hi2">Aan>NEOUSLY ONE. EVERY son of God, is THE ONE son of God. Ean class="hi2">Aan>CH son of God, is Christ. They an class="hi2">aan>ll SHan class="hi2">Aan>RE themselves, so fully an class="hi2">aan>nd completely, than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">Aan>RE ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, while STILL an class="hi2">aan>lso being man class="hi2">aan>ny individuan class="hi2">aan>ls. THan class="hi2">Aan>T is whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles clean class="hi2">aan>rly stan class="hi2">aan>tes.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve to then do is recognize the limitan class="hi2">aan>tions of how you think, an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t you need to an class="hi2">aan>dopt an class="hi2">aan> HUGELY different wan class="hi2">aan>y of thinking, if you an class="hi2">aan>re to understan class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>nything to do with rean class="hi2">aan>lity. an class="hi2">Aan>ny subject to do with pre or post sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, can class="hi2">aan>nnot be thought of in either/or terms. If you do, you will DISTORT IT.
This distortion han class="hi2">aan>s led to an class="hi2">aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>nner of completely fan class="hi2">aan>lse conclusions. Such an class="hi2">aan>s, than class="hi2">aan>t the one son split into man class="hi2">aan>ny pan class="hi2">aan>rts in the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. This is not true an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. God crean class="hi2">aan>ted man class="hi2">aan>ny children BEFORE the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion even han class="hi2">aan>ppened, an class="hi2">aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>ch of those children IS the rest. They an class="hi2">aan>ll shan class="hi2">aan>re ean class="hi2">aan>ch other. This shan class="hi2">aan>ring is their oneness an class="hi2">aan>nd unity.
This han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>lso led to the distorted conclusion than class="hi2">aan>t there is only one son an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore than class="hi2">aan>t this only child han class="hi2">aan>s drean class="hi2">aan>med of being sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te. This is NOT TRUE. "Christ han class="hi2">aan>s never slept". The one son DID NOT go into the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. Only some of the individuan class="hi2">aan>l pan class="hi2">aan>rts did - some of the sons of God. This is explicitly stan class="hi2">aan>ted in the course.
The wrong kind of thought process an class="hi2">aan>lso lean class="hi2">aan>ds to the fan class="hi2">aan>lse conclusion than class="hi2">aan>t you, in this world, an class="hi2">aan>re the only son of God, an class="hi2">aan>nd everyone else is just "you". an class="hi2">Aan>s if they don't rean class="hi2">aan>lly exist an class="hi2">aan>s independent beings. This is Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE. This is not whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles tean class="hi2">aan>ches. It seems to man class="hi2">aan>ke sense to those who think with the ego. In truth, the drean class="hi2">aan>m of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion is an class="hi2">aan> collan class="hi2">aan>boran class="hi2">aan>tive drean class="hi2">aan>m by man class="hi2">aan>ny sons of God, who were brothers BEFORE this even han class="hi2">aan>ppened. an class="hi2">Aan>nd other people DO han class="hi2">aan>ve free will.
So you han class="hi2">aan>ve to bewan class="hi2">aan>re. Wan class="hi2">aan>tch your thought process. Look an class="hi2">aan>t the kind of rean class="hi2">aan>soning you're doing. an class="hi2">Aan>NY time than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re in the "either this or than class="hi2">aan>t" mode, you an class="hi2">aan>re prone to man class="hi2">aan>ssive errors. Becan class="hi2">aan>use it is an class="hi2">aan>n unnan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l, sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion-ban class="hi2">aan>sed wan class="hi2">aan>y of thinking. You an class="hi2">aan>re in fan class="hi2">aan>ct thinking WITH THE EGO when you do than class="hi2">aan>t. Thinking with the ego, an class="hi2">aan>bout NON-EGO things, is going to totan class="hi2">aan>lly destroy the true nan class="hi2">aan>ture of those things.
This is the sole rean class="hi2">aan>son, in my opinion, why so man class="hi2">aan>ny people an class="hi2">aan>re so confused an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">Aan>CIM an class="hi2">aan>nd its tean class="hi2">aan>ching. Everyone is an class="hi2">aan>ssuming than class="hi2">aan>t hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan>n either/or stan class="hi2">aan>te, like span class="hi2">aan>cetime. Than class="hi2">aan>t's its sort of an class="hi2">aan> second span class="hi2">aan>cetime, with the san class="hi2">aan>me rean class="hi2">aan>soning an class="hi2">aan>nd logic an class="hi2">aan>nd thought process. It is NOTHING LIKE IT. It is totan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>lien to this world an class="hi2">aan>nd how this world thinks.
The world simply thinks ban class="hi2">aan>ckwan class="hi2">aan>rds an class="hi2">aan>nd with the ego, an class="hi2">aan>nd we han class="hi2">aan>ve to lean class="hi2">aan>rn an class="hi2">aan>nother wan class="hi2">aan>y to think. Human class="hi2">aan>n thinking is an class="hi2">Aan>LIEN TO the wan class="hi2">aan>y God thinks, the wan class="hi2">aan>y hean class="hi2">aan>ven is formed, the wan class="hi2">aan>y the sons of God relan class="hi2">aan>te to ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, an class="hi2">aan>nd how rean class="hi2">aan>lity is structured. Using an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">Aan>LIEN thought process to think an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t is Nan class="hi2">Aan>TURan class="hi2">Aan>L, is going to show you thinks seeming to man class="hi2">aan>ke sense which an class="hi2">aan>re totan class="hi2">aan>lly nonsense. Whan class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes sense to the ego is nonsense in truth. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the ego's truths an class="hi2">aan>bout hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>re totan class="hi2">aan>lly nonsense.
The course is trying to get you to think in an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t is TOTan class="hi2">Aan>LLY OPPOSITE to how the world thinks.

You have not incarnated into a body

We're not rean class="hi2">aan>lly incan class="hi2">aan>rnan class="hi2">aan>te, we an class="hi2">aan>re not bodies, an class="hi2">aan>nd we never will be.
"The mind can class="hi2">aan>n be man class="hi2">aan>de free when it no longer sees itself an class="hi2">aan>s in an class="hi2">aan> body, firmly tied to it, an class="hi2">aan>nd sheltered by its presence. If this were the truth, the mind were vulneran class="hi2">aan>ble indeed!"

- an class="hi2">Aan>CIM - sickness is an class="hi2">aan> defense an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the truth... Here Jesus describes how we crean class="hi2">aan>te sickness.
We evan class="hi2">aan>luan class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t the truth is an class="hi2">aan> threan class="hi2">aan>t (to our ego truth), we decide we need to defend an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst it, so we crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan> sickness by man class="hi2">aan>king it rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd doing it to ourselves, yet man class="hi2">aan>king it look like we didn't choose it.

"But whan class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve forgot can class="hi2">aan>n be remembered".
He an class="hi2">aan>lso san class="hi2">aan>ys:

Stop forgiving other people, it's a trap

Trying to forgive other people is an class="hi2">aan>n error. It is not the kind of forgiveness than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>CIM tean class="hi2">aan>ches an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. It is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck.
First an class="hi2">aan>nd foremost, when you an class="hi2">aan>re in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of unforgiveness yourself, you an class="hi2">aan>re perceiving incorrectly.
This erroneous perception is an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of judgement. This judgement can class="hi2">aan>uses you to mis-perceive. Your mis-perceptions show you things which seem to be rean class="hi2">aan>l or true, which an class="hi2">aan>re not.
So an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> priman class="hi2">aan>ry stan class="hi2">aan>rting point of an class="hi2">aan>ll "forgiveness an class="hi2">aan>ttempts", you pretty much will an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys find yourself believing than class="hi2">aan>t someone else is the problem.
Perceiving than class="hi2">aan>t someone else is the problem, the ego will step in an class="hi2">aan>nd will guide you to tan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>ction. The an class="hi2">aan>ction recommendan class="hi2">aan>tion will be, "you need to forgive them."
THIS IS an class="hi2">Aan> LIE!
an class="hi2">Aan>s soon an class="hi2">aan>s you begin to an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to do something in response to the Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE PERCEPTION than class="hi2">aan>t the other person is the one who needs to be forgiven, you will fan class="hi2">aan>ll into the ego's tran class="hi2">aan>p even further. an class="hi2">Aan>ttempting to forgive them is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">Aan>DDITIONan class="hi2">Aan>L Lan class="hi2">Aan>YER OF LIES on top of the fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception you were han class="hi2">aan>ving to begin with.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t then can class="hi2">aan>n come an class="hi2">aan>cross an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> desire to be more forgiving, an class="hi2">aan>s though more spirituan class="hi2">aan>l, is in fan class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>dditionan class="hi2">aan>l lan class="hi2">aan>yer of an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck. Those who an class="hi2">aan>re trying to forgive others for whan class="hi2">aan>t they seem to han class="hi2">aan>ve done, an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking them, an class="hi2">aan>ll in the pretense than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re being more holy, spirituan class="hi2">aan>l or forgiving, when in fan class="hi2">aan>ct it is an class="hi2">aan>nother form of condemnan class="hi2">aan>tion in disguise. You've gone from ban class="hi2">aan>d to worse.
The "trick" to correct forgiveness is not in the REan class="hi2">Aan>CTION to whan class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve mis-perceived, which compels you to think you han class="hi2">aan>ve to forgive the fucker who just did something than class="hi2">aan>t upset you. The trick is, than class="hi2">aan>t you need to rean class="hi2">aan>lize, than class="hi2">aan>t the only rean class="hi2">aan>son you THINK than class="hi2">aan>t the person is the can class="hi2">aan>use of your upset, is becan class="hi2">aan>use of YOUR Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE PERCEPTION, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore something is wrong with your perceptuan class="hi2">aan>l mechan class="hi2">aan>nism.
Your own perceptions an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is can class="hi2">aan>using you to see other people an class="hi2">aan>s sinful when they an class="hi2">aan>re not. It is can class="hi2">aan>using you to believe an class="hi2">aan>nd perceive than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>using YOU, producing effects in you, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve been victimized.
YOU Han class="hi2">Aan>VE NOT.
The "problem" you an class="hi2">aan>re trying to dean class="hi2">aan>l with or hean class="hi2">aan>l is NOT THE PROBLEM. The problem is not whan class="hi2">aan>t someone can class="hi2">aan>used or whan class="hi2">aan>t someone an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>red to do. The problem is than class="hi2">aan>t YOU an class="hi2">aan>re not seeing correctly. YOU NEED FORGIVENESS an class="hi2">Aan>ND HEan class="hi2">Aan>LING, not them.
Other people han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH your upset.
Therefore, to correctly forgive, BEWan class="hi2">Aan>RE of the temptan class="hi2">aan>tion to think than class="hi2">aan>t you should "forgive them". Than class="hi2">aan>t's an class="hi2">aan> tran class="hi2">aan>p. It's an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke on top of an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. You do not need to forgive them. You need to STOP, question whether whan class="hi2">aan>t you perceive is EVEN REan class="hi2">Aan>L in the first plan class="hi2">aan>ce, an class="hi2">aan>nd then set an class="hi2">aan>bout the proper correction of YOUR broken perception, vian class="hi2">aan> YOUR mistan class="hi2">aan>ken beliefs, which an class="hi2">aan>re beliefs an class="hi2">aan>bout YOURSELF, which need to be recognized an class="hi2">aan>s Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE.
It's YOU who needs forgiveness, not an class="hi2">aan>nyone else. You Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT FORGIVE an class="hi2">Aan>NOTHER PERSON, becan class="hi2">aan>use no-one else han class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>lly done an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>nd no-one is the can class="hi2">aan>use of you. You an class="hi2">aan>re the one with the split mind, you an class="hi2">aan>re the one with ego judgement distorting your perceptions, you an class="hi2">aan>re the one who sees yourself an class="hi2">aan>s unfan class="hi2">aan>irly trean class="hi2">aan>ted, you an class="hi2">aan>re the one who needs forgiveness OF YOURSELF, becan class="hi2">aan>use of whan class="hi2">aan>t YOU DID NOT DO.
You think you sinned, an class="hi2">aan>nd you han class="hi2">aan>ve tried to put your sin onto others an class="hi2">aan>nd see it there, then an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck it, to man class="hi2">aan>ke out than class="hi2">aan>t it is not your problem. You an class="hi2">aan>re the one who needs correction. You can class="hi2">aan>n only forgive yourself. an class="hi2">Aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck is self an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck.
The truth is, YOU DID NOT SIN EITHER, an class="hi2">aan>nd sin han class="hi2">aan>s not han class="hi2">aan>ppened an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, an class="hi2">aan>nd there is no truth to sin, an class="hi2">aan>nd sin is not rean class="hi2">aan>l.

Reacting to the world is a trap

There is an class="hi2">aan> significan class="hi2">aan>nt ego tran class="hi2">aan>p an class="hi2">aan>t plan class="hi2">aan>y, when people an class="hi2">aan>re significan class="hi2">aan>ntly upset an class="hi2">aan>bout the world. Man class="hi2">aan>ybe upset an class="hi2">aan>bout cruelty to an class="hi2">aan>niman class="hi2">aan>ls, upset an class="hi2">aan>bout violence or torture, upset an class="hi2">aan>bout the economy, upset an class="hi2">aan>bout how people trean class="hi2">aan>t ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, upset an class="hi2">aan>bout who got elected, or whan class="hi2">aan>tever. an class="hi2">Aan>nd especian class="hi2">aan>lly if you an class="hi2">aan>re more sensitive or more ean class="hi2">aan>sily an class="hi2">aan>ffected or more rean class="hi2">aan>ctive, you will join the rollercoan class="hi2">aan>ster ride of hell an class="hi2">aan>nd despan class="hi2">aan>ir.
When we an class="hi2">aan>re 'upset', we an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>king this bold stan class="hi2">aan>tement of how we're justified in being upset becan class="hi2">aan>use the world is not right. Which mean class="hi2">aan>ns, we an class="hi2">aan>re locked into being upset, becan class="hi2">aan>use if the world doesn't chan class="hi2">aan>nge an class="hi2">aan>nd we man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>in this an class="hi2">aan>ttitude, we an class="hi2">aan>re perman class="hi2">aan>nently going to be upset. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns we han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely no wan class="hi2">aan>y to be han class="hi2">aan>ppy becan class="hi2">aan>use the world sucks.
So an class="hi2">aan>s people get upset, they get locked into rean class="hi2">aan>ctions, becan class="hi2">aan>use they can class="hi2">aan>n't chan class="hi2">aan>nge whan class="hi2">aan>t's han class="hi2">aan>ppening out there to trigger them, an class="hi2">aan>nd the truth is, they do not wan class="hi2">aan>nt to chan class="hi2">aan>nge their an class="hi2">aan>ttitude or perspective. They don't rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t their perception is coming from ego, or than class="hi2">aan>t there is an class="hi2">aan>nother wan class="hi2">aan>y to look an class="hi2">aan>t this, or than class="hi2">aan>t there is an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y in which 'this horrible thing' could be an class="hi2">aan>cceptan class="hi2">aan>ble.
The ego loves to be upset an class="hi2">aan>bout the world. The ego loves to be unhan class="hi2">aan>ppy an class="hi2">aan>bout how things an class="hi2">aan>re han class="hi2">aan>ppening. The ego loves to be upset an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan>ll the little dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ged an class="hi2">aan>niman class="hi2">aan>ls an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll the broken homes an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll the wan class="hi2">aan>rring countries. It loves than class="hi2">aan>t. It gets to be victimized by it, an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time an class="hi2">aan>s san class="hi2">aan>ying it doesn't wan class="hi2">aan>nt it. It gets to complan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>bout it. It gets to scan class="hi2">aan>pegoan class="hi2">aan>t. It gets to project blan class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>ll over the plan class="hi2">aan>ce. It gets to condemn an class="hi2">aan>nd judge, in the nan class="hi2">aan>me of upholding some kind of idean class="hi2">aan>l of perfection an class="hi2">aan>nd right living.
The ego is an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys two-fan class="hi2">aan>ced like this. It san class="hi2">aan>ys one thing while doing an class="hi2">aan>nother. It is an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys contran class="hi2">aan>dictory. an class="hi2">Aan>s it seems to tan class="hi2">aan>ke grean class="hi2">aan>t offense an class="hi2">aan>t something, it's simultan class="hi2">aan>neously tan class="hi2">aan>king the opportunity to counter-an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck. There is just no end of suffering to be found when an class="hi2">aan>ll you can class="hi2">aan>n do is rean class="hi2">aan>ct with upset to an class="hi2">aan> world of hell an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th. So then if you 'can class="hi2">aan>re' too much an class="hi2">aan>bout the world, an class="hi2">aan>bout the sorry sob-story of the little victims an class="hi2">aan>nd so on, then you won't be an class="hi2">aan>ble to detan class="hi2">aan>ch an class="hi2">aan>nd you won't be an class="hi2">aan>ble to find pean class="hi2">aan>ce.
Some of the things han class="hi2">aan>ppening in this world an class="hi2">aan>re seriously disturbing, to the ego, becan class="hi2">aan>use it wan class="hi2">aan>nts to be rean class="hi2">aan>lly rean class="hi2">aan>lly upset, becan class="hi2">aan>use it loves than class="hi2">aan>t. Some of these things han class="hi2">aan>ppen an class="hi2">aan>nd you just can class="hi2">aan>n't get them out of your mind becan class="hi2">aan>use they're so upsetting. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the ego loves than class="hi2">aan>t. It can class="hi2">aan>n be very controversian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd very unpopulan class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd very ran class="hi2">aan>dican class="hi2">aan>l to suggest... than class="hi2">aan>t you should look an class="hi2">aan>t this thing differently, such than class="hi2">aan>t you become an class="hi2">aan>t pean class="hi2">aan>ce with it an class="hi2">aan>nd you 'an class="hi2">aan>llow' it. How dan class="hi2">aan>re you look an class="hi2">aan>s though you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>llowing horror to tan class="hi2">aan>ke plan class="hi2">aan>ce, san class="hi2">aan>ys the ego, who wan class="hi2">aan>nts to find you guilty. It doesn't wan class="hi2">aan>nt you to be detan class="hi2">aan>ched becan class="hi2">aan>use than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns, detan class="hi2">aan>ching from IT.
So it's one thing to be an class="hi2">aan>ll upset an class="hi2">aan>nd pissed off an class="hi2">aan>nd unpean class="hi2">aan>ceful an class="hi2">aan>nd JUSTIFIED in being this wan class="hi2">aan>y... but an class="hi2">aan>nger is never justified. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot an class="hi2">aan>nd will not ever be han class="hi2">aan>ppy if an class="hi2">aan>ll you do is rean class="hi2">aan>ct in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of unconsciousness an class="hi2">aan>nd unan class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness to every 'ban class="hi2">aan>d thing' than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to be ban class="hi2">aan>d out there.

A new view of what miracles are

I went ban class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd slowly re-rean class="hi2">aan>d the entire "miran class="hi2">aan>cle principles" from an class="hi2">aan> very ean class="hi2">aan>rly urtext version, plus some other sections.
The impression I han class="hi2">aan>ve of miran class="hi2">aan>cles now is different an class="hi2">aan>nd more cohesive. Whan class="hi2">aan>tever our understan class="hi2">aan>nding of them is, they must incorporan class="hi2">aan>te every single thing Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>bout them, including the an class="hi2">aan>bility to literan class="hi2">aan>lly move mountan class="hi2">aan>ins, to hean class="hi2">aan>l the sick an class="hi2">aan>nd ran class="hi2">aan>ise the dean class="hi2">aan>d, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lso to correct perception. Here an class="hi2">aan>re some key points an class="hi2">aan>nd new clan class="hi2">aan>rity on the subject.
1) Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re best understood in an class="hi2">aan> vertican class="hi2">aan>l direction. They come down from an class="hi2">aan>bove an class="hi2">aan>nd lift upwan class="hi2">aan>rds, or restore life an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lity. "Miran class="hi2">aan>cles fan class="hi2">aan>ll like drops of hean class="hi2">aan>ling ran class="hi2">aan>in from hean class="hi2">aan>ven." "performed by those who han class="hi2">aan>ve more (an class="hi2">aan>bove) for those who han class="hi2">aan>ve less (below)". They extend or ran class="hi2">aan>dian class="hi2">aan>te down into the world from God. They an class="hi2">aan>lso go out sidewan class="hi2">aan>ys between brothers becan class="hi2">aan>use brothers an class="hi2">aan>re ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely IN hean class="hi2">aan>ven.
2) Every an class="hi2">aan>spect of the "descent" into egotism, sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, degran class="hi2">aan>ding rean class="hi2">aan>lity, becoming insan class="hi2">aan>ne, unwillingness, unconsciousness, etc which is an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to introduce sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between brother's minds (to split the sonship or divide the Kingdom), to interfere with mind-to-mind communican class="hi2">aan>tion, is the exan class="hi2">aan>ct opposite of miran class="hi2">aan>cles. Projection is opposite to miran class="hi2">aan>cles. Man class="hi2">aan>gic is opposite to miran class="hi2">aan>cles. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles inherently correct level confusion, hean class="hi2">aan>l projections, undo man class="hi2">aan>gic (which includes sickness), an class="hi2">aan>nd restores an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of the truth.
3) Every movement towan class="hi2">aan>rds restoring communican class="hi2">aan>tion, reintegran class="hi2">aan>ting rean class="hi2">aan>lity, bringing wholeness to your mind an class="hi2">Aan>ND your brother's mind, uniting you with your brother, hean class="hi2">aan>ling relan class="hi2">aan>tionships, removing sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tions, an class="hi2">aan>ll effects resulting from sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd sin (including sickness, illness, suffering, dean class="hi2">aan>th), an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>ncelling out the "consequences" of sin, an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ccomplished by miran class="hi2">aan>cles. "Miran class="hi2">aan>cles unite you directly with your brother". "The purpose of miran class="hi2">aan>cles is to restore rean class="hi2">aan>lity". "Miran class="hi2">aan>cles man class="hi2">aan>ke brothers one in God" etc. The ultiman class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>im of miran class="hi2">aan>cles is to induce revelan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd direct communion with God. This however does not exclude miran class="hi2">aan>cles than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>nipulan class="hi2">aan>te forms or move mountan class="hi2">aan>ins, becan class="hi2">aan>use mountan class="hi2">aan>ins an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>lso thought-forms in the MIND an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly BELIEFS which mind can class="hi2">aan>n man class="hi2">aan>nipulan class="hi2">aan>te. "The world IS perception" (in the mind).
4) Miran class="hi2">aan>cles originan class="hi2">aan>te in the mind of Christ. They require the an class="hi2">aan>bsence of fean class="hi2">aan>r, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of Christ's presence. Jesus inspires them. While they come FROM the Christ mind, you can class="hi2">aan>n be in van class="hi2">aan>rying degrees of "miran class="hi2">aan>cle mindedness" depending on whether your mind is functioning an class="hi2">aan>nd responding in an class="hi2">aan>n ego-driven wan class="hi2">aan>y or an class="hi2">aan> love-ban class="hi2">aan>sed wan class="hi2">aan>y. "Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re seen in light" "Miran class="hi2">aan>cles reflect an class="hi2">aan>n inner an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of Christ." They an class="hi2">aan>re therefore typican class="hi2">aan>lly requiring quite an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>nced stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind, BUT they an class="hi2">aan>lso can class="hi2">aan>n be performed even by "beginners" who an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ble to temporan class="hi2">aan>rily put fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>side an class="hi2">aan>nd shift into VERTICan class="hi2">Aan>L perception an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from the horizontan class="hi2">aan>l belief system, which an class="hi2">aan>llows them to bring forth an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle which helps develop "conviction in the an class="hi2">aan>bility" by seeing physican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces chan class="hi2">aan>nge. The an class="hi2">aan>bility to man class="hi2">aan>ke this shift isn't necessan class="hi2">aan>rily an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ct of your own purifican class="hi2">aan>tion but an class="hi2">aan> USE OF the pan class="hi2">aan>rts of your mind than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy been purified.
5) There an class="hi2">aan>re two an class="hi2">aan>spects - miran class="hi2">aan>cle-mindedness/rean class="hi2">aan>diness, an class="hi2">aan>nd miran class="hi2">aan>cle-working. To be miran class="hi2">aan>cle-minded is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the STan class="hi2">Aan>TE of your mind. But an class="hi2">aan> mind ban class="hi2">aan>sed on love is not unexpressive or stan class="hi2">aan>tic. It is an class="hi2">aan> mind than class="hi2">aan>t extends, gives in order to han class="hi2">aan>ve, shan class="hi2">aan>res, increan class="hi2">aan>ses, crean class="hi2">aan>tes. Being miran class="hi2">aan>cle-minded/rean class="hi2">aan>dy emphan class="hi2">aan>sizes than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re "rean class="hi2">aan>dy, willing, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ble" to "perform" or "do" miran class="hi2">aan>cles. The "an class="hi2">aan>ction" an class="hi2">aan>spect of miran class="hi2">aan>cles should be under Christ control (Jesus) due to the an class="hi2">aan>tonement plan class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nd should be "involuntan class="hi2">aan>ry". You an class="hi2">aan>re not supposed to consciously control than class="hi2">aan>t pan class="hi2">aan>rt of it yourself, but you an class="hi2">Aan>RE responsible for becoming "rean class="hi2">aan>dy, willing an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ble".
6) "Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re thought-crean class="hi2">aan>tions". Our mind goes through van class="hi2">aan>rying degrees of power to CREan class="hi2">Aan>TE or project, depending on how much ego there is. We become more an class="hi2">aan>ble to express crean class="hi2">aan>tively an class="hi2">aan>s we wan class="hi2">aan>ke up. The mind can class="hi2">aan>n shine INTO an class="hi2">aan>nd BLESS other minds due to han class="hi2">aan>ving both been crean class="hi2">aan>ted by the "san class="hi2">aan>me span class="hi2">aan>rk" of God - being of like kind. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles not only unite you with your brother, they an class="hi2">aan>lso increan class="hi2">aan>se your own strength by giving love, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lso strengthen your brother. They in an class="hi2">aan> sense "repan class="hi2">aan>ir" the sense of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between both of you, increan class="hi2">aan>se the level of communican class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore UNDO the man class="hi2">aan>nifestan class="hi2">aan>tions of the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion idean class="hi2">aan> (forms of sickness etc). Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re tightly an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted with CREan class="hi2">Aan>TION, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of crean class="hi2">aan>ting. They combine "thought-crean class="hi2">aan>tion" with belief, in order to produce results, which includes chan class="hi2">aan>nges to *an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces* - mean class="hi2">aan>ning an class="hi2">aan>ll forms, in an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>w-defying wan class="hi2">aan>y (including moving mountan class="hi2">aan>ins).
7) Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re not shifts in perception an class="hi2">aan>s such. However they can class="hi2">aan>n produce an class="hi2">aan> shift in the perception OF OTHERS. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re inter-personan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">Aan>CTS. They an class="hi2">aan>re something you DO to EXPRESS the stan class="hi2">aan>te of love than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re. They an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>n "an class="hi2">aan>pplican class="hi2">aan>tion" of your holiness, an class="hi2">aan>nd thus crean class="hi2">aan>te in the san class="hi2">aan>me wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t God an class="hi2">aan>pplies himself to crean class="hi2">aan>te. Becan class="hi2">aan>use they can class="hi2">aan>n "correct" misperceptions in yourself an class="hi2">Aan>ND others, they can class="hi2">aan>n hean class="hi2">aan>l your brother an class="hi2">aan>nd yourself. They bestow gran class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd blessing on others. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles can class="hi2">aan>n correct perception an class="hi2">aan>nd shift it, but when you yourself "correct thinking" an class="hi2">aan>nd "chan class="hi2">aan>nge perception" than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ct itself is not necessan class="hi2">aan>rily an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles express from an class="hi2">aan>bove downwan class="hi2">aan>rds, chan class="hi2">aan>nges of mind express from below upwan class="hi2">aan>rds. You stepping "up" to the miran class="hi2">aan>culous mind can class="hi2">aan>n require man class="hi2">aan>ny steps before you an class="hi2">aan>re "high" enough to express "downwan class="hi2">aan>rd" with miran class="hi2">aan>cles. In an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y though, an class="hi2">aan>ny movement towan class="hi2">aan>rds God/truth/love is an class="hi2">aan> step in the right direction. The shifting itself isn't the miran class="hi2">aan>cle, the miran class="hi2">aan>cle is the love than class="hi2">aan>t expresses an class="hi2">Aan>FTER the blocks to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan>re removed. an class="hi2">Aan>lthough han class="hi2">aan>ving san class="hi2">aan>id than class="hi2">aan>t, when you express an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle it strengthens you an class="hi2">aan>lso, increan class="hi2">aan>sing your san class="hi2">aan>nity, so....

To the ego, miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re considered un-nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l, but to God they an class="hi2">aan>re considered completely nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l.

Earth is not a part of heaven

Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is vertican class="hi2">aan>lly opposite to the Ean class="hi2">aan>rth. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is love, yet love han class="hi2">aan>s no opposite. The ean class="hi2">aan>rth is the opposite to love an class="hi2">aan>nd does not exist, hence "there is no world."
"Never wan class="hi2">aan>s love in the world."
"The truth is simple; it is one without an class="hi2">aan>n opposite."
"There is no dean class="hi2">aan>th becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>n opposite to God does not exist."
"Perfect love can class="hi2">aan>sts out fean class="hi2">aan>r. If fean class="hi2">aan>r exists, Then there is not perfect love. But: Only perfect love exists. If there is fean class="hi2">aan>r, It produces an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t does not exist."
The Ean class="hi2">aan>rth is man class="hi2">aan>de of fean class="hi2">aan>r, guilt, an class="hi2">aan>nd sin. It is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion. It is the idean class="hi2">aan> of the opposite to love, an class="hi2">aan>nd opposite to God. Yet, an class="hi2">aan>n opposite to love does not exist.
If you tan class="hi2">aan>ke hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>n ean class="hi2">aan>rth an class="hi2">aan>nd put them an class="hi2">aan>longside ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, seemingly with an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between them, you an class="hi2">aan>re suggesting than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n evan class="hi2">aan>luan class="hi2">aan>te them an class="hi2">aan>s though compan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ble equan class="hi2">aan>ls. This is duan class="hi2">aan>listic, horizontan class="hi2">aan>l logic. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven’s relan class="hi2">aan>tionship to the ean class="hi2">aan>rth is NOT horizontan class="hi2">aan>l.
Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, love, God, crean class="hi2">aan>tion, do not Han class="hi2">Aan>VE an class="hi2">aan>n opposite. They an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>BOVE, on an class="hi2">aan> higher level. Ean class="hi2">aan>rth is BELOW, on an class="hi2">aan> lower level. Their relan class="hi2">aan>tionship is not horizontan class="hi2">aan>l, it is vertican class="hi2">aan>l.
Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is infinite. Ean class="hi2">aan>rth is finite. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Ean class="hi2">aan>rth is illusion. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is truth. Ean class="hi2">aan>rth is an class="hi2">aan> lie. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is everywhere. Ean class="hi2">aan>rth is nowhere. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t exists in God. Ean class="hi2">aan>rth is nothing than class="hi2">aan>t exists an class="hi2">aan>nywhere but in an class="hi2">aan> fiction.
You can class="hi2">aan>nnot compan class="hi2">aan>re them like an class="hi2">aan>pples to an class="hi2">aan>pples. You an class="hi2">aan>lso can class="hi2">aan>nnot suggest than class="hi2">aan>t if you remove the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between them, then they will BECOME ONE.

Compan class="hi2">aan>re them vertican class="hi2">aan>lly, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens?
Vertican class="hi2">aan>lly, becan class="hi2">aan>use love han class="hi2">aan>s no opposite, it mean class="hi2">aan>ns:
1) There is no world. It does not exist an class="hi2">Aan>NYWHERE.
2) When the "rean class="hi2">aan>l world" disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs, an class="hi2">aan>nd the supposed "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>rth" is dissolved, this does NOT mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t they blend together into ONE stan class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t includes them both. IT DOES NOT. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns, than class="hi2">aan>t which wan class="hi2">aan>s EVERYTHING REan class="hi2">Aan>L - hean class="hi2">aan>ven - is an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t will be left. Than class="hi2">aan>t which wan class="hi2">aan>s NOTHING REan class="hi2">Aan>L - ean class="hi2">aan>rth - will be recognized an class="hi2">aan>s cean class="hi2">aan>sing to exist.
3) Ean class="hi2">aan>rth is not an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of hean class="hi2">aan>ven. It never will be. There is no world. Not even the "rean class="hi2">aan>l world" exists but an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m. Drean class="hi2">aan>ms end an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s drean class="hi2">aan>med cean class="hi2">aan>ses to exist an class="hi2">aan>nywhere.
4) Ean class="hi2">aan>rth does not "Tran class="hi2">aan>nslan class="hi2">aan>te into hean class="hi2">aan>ven" an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y for it to BECOME hean class="hi2">aan>ven, to be included in hean class="hi2">aan>ven, to turn into hean class="hi2">aan>ven, or to blend with hean class="hi2">aan>ven. Whan class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s thought to be there, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> world which DOES NOT EXIST, disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs entirely, being recognized. Jesus tean class="hi2">aan>ches "Illusions recognized must disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r", not "illusions recognized an class="hi2">aan>re kept an class="hi2">aan>nd tran class="hi2">aan>nsformed into pan class="hi2">aan>rt of hean class="hi2">aan>ven."
5) The removan class="hi2">aan>l of the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>rth does NOT MEan class="hi2">Aan>N than class="hi2">aan>t hean class="hi2">aan>ven cean class="hi2">aan>ses to exist an class="hi2">aan>fterwan class="hi2">aan>rds. Opposition is the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t exists only in the illusory ean class="hi2">aan>rth. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven does not oppose. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven does not pan class="hi2">aan>rticipan class="hi2">aan>te in the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion or in becoming one han class="hi2">aan>lf of an class="hi2">aan> duan class="hi2">aan>lity. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven recognizes there is ONLY hean class="hi2">aan>ven. "There is no life outside of hean class="hi2">aan>ven." When the idean class="hi2">aan> of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs, the CONTENT OF THan class="hi2">Aan>T IDEan class="hi2">Aan> will disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r, which wan class="hi2">aan>s entirely ONE SIDED! The ego’s opposition to Hean class="hi2">aan>ven wan class="hi2">aan>s NOT pan class="hi2">aan>rt of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven’t opposition to the ego. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven does not an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck or sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is not an class="hi2">aan> Pan class="hi2">Aan>RT OF the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion idean class="hi2">aan>. When the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion is undone, vertican class="hi2">aan>lly, ONLY THE WORLD DISan class="hi2">Aan>PPEan class="hi2">Aan>RS, NOT HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN. Whan class="hi2">aan>t reman class="hi2">aan>ins is ONLY HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN.
6) This is the mean class="hi2">aan>ning of "nothing unrean class="hi2">aan>l exists" - the ean class="hi2">aan>rth DOES NOT EXIST. Trying to find an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y to man class="hi2">aan>ke it continue to exist "in God" or "fused with Hean class="hi2">aan>ven" is DENIan class="hi2">Aan>L, ban class="hi2">aan>sed in fean class="hi2">aan>r. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven/God/rean class="hi2">aan>lity is an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t exists. Ego/sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion/ean class="hi2">aan>rth/illusions is UNREan class="hi2">Aan>LITY an class="hi2">aan>nd does not exist. Never do the two become one. Only one of them is TRUE. The world is Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE. Never will "whan class="hi2">aan>t is fan class="hi2">aan>lse" be converted into or kept or become an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of hean class="hi2">aan>ven or an class="hi2">Aan>NY stan class="hi2">aan>te of oneness no man class="hi2">aan>tter whan class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>ll it or how you try to rean class="hi2">aan>d into it.
7) There is no world. This is the centran class="hi2">aan>l thought the course would an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to tean class="hi2">aan>ch. It is an class="hi2">aan>n extremely ran class="hi2">aan>dican class="hi2">aan>l idean class="hi2">aan>. It threan class="hi2">aan>tens the ENTIRE ego thought system. Resistan class="hi2">aan>nce an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst it is the sum totan class="hi2">aan>l of an class="hi2">Aan>LL of the resistan class="hi2">aan>nce of the entire ego thought system. No-one with an class="hi2">aan>n ego wan class="hi2">aan>nts to an class="hi2">aan>dmit it is true. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns nothing in the world, no forms, no bodies, no pretty an class="hi2">aan>niman class="hi2">aan>ls an class="hi2">aan>nd ran class="hi2">aan>inbows, no lan class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan>nd mountan class="hi2">aan>ins an class="hi2">aan>nd ocean class="hi2">aan>ns, no specian class="hi2">aan>l relan class="hi2">aan>tionships, no bodily relan class="hi2">aan>tionships, NONE OF IT EXISTS.
Than class="hi2">aan>t’s why this threan class="hi2">aan>tens so man class="hi2">aan>ny people. Believing YOU an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>de of or an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the ego world (ean class="hi2">aan>rth) man class="hi2">aan>kes you certan class="hi2">aan>in than class="hi2">aan>t IF it does not exist, NOR DO YOU. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t is interpreted like an class="hi2">aan> threan class="hi2">aan>t of DEan class="hi2">Aan>TH by the ego. an class="hi2">Aan>nd then the person will put up *defenses* an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the truth, moving into sickness in an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to explan class="hi2">aan>in why the world is rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God’s crean class="hi2">aan>tion. It is nothing less than class="hi2">aan>n the fean class="hi2">aan>r of dean class="hi2">aan>th.
It tan class="hi2">aan>kes WILLINGNESS to an class="hi2">aan>ccept than class="hi2">aan>t this is true an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t Jesus is literan class="hi2">aan>lly telling us there is no world here an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. This is an class="hi2">aan>lso why Jesus repean class="hi2">aan>tedly san class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t "nothing you see mean class="hi2">aan>ns an class="hi2">aan>nything" an class="hi2">aan>nd "the world you see does not exist". Literan class="hi2">aan>lly, plan class="hi2">aan>net ean class="hi2">aan>rth does not exist. NEVER will it be an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of hean class="hi2">aan>ven in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y under an class="hi2">aan>ny circumstan class="hi2">aan>nces or interpretan class="hi2">aan>tions whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever.

I an class="hi2">aan>sked first, "an class="hi2">Aan>m I going to han class="hi2">aan>ve to experience dean class="hi2">aan>th of an class="hi2">aan> loved one in this lifetime an class="hi2">aan>nd be an class="hi2">aan>lone?"
He san class="hi2">aan>id simply, "How can class="hi2">aan>n you? Dean class="hi2">aan>th isn't rean class="hi2">aan>l."
I opened up to Him an class="hi2">aan>nd I san class="hi2">aan>id, "Fan class="hi2">aan>ther, plean class="hi2">aan>se forgive me for I han class="hi2">aan>ve sinned".
He san class="hi2">aan>id, "I an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy han class="hi2">aan>ve."
an class="hi2">aan>nd "I never condemned you."
I an class="hi2">aan>sked, "You never ever condemned me? I've never done an class="hi2">aan>nything wrong ever? You're not going to punish me?"
He san class="hi2">aan>id, "How could I? It's not in my nan class="hi2">aan>ture. I can class="hi2">aan>n only love."
I responded, "You're not going to send me to hell?"
He san class="hi2">aan>id, "It doesn't exist. You man class="hi2">aan>de it up."
I an class="hi2">aan>sked, "Then, why is it than class="hi2">aan>t I don't see to be experiencing than class="hi2">aan>t?"
He san class="hi2">aan>id, "You just han class="hi2">aan>ven't an class="hi2">aan>ccepted it yet."

I told God than class="hi2">aan>t "I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id to an class="hi2">aan>ccept it, but it feels good to connect with you, how can class="hi2">aan>n I an class="hi2">aan>ccept this more?
He san class="hi2">aan>id simply, "Remove blocks to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness."
I wan class="hi2">aan>s feeling very open an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ke. I then felt an class="hi2">aan> very strong sense of an class="hi2">aan>ttran class="hi2">aan>ction throughout my whole person. an class="hi2">Aan> strong pull than class="hi2">aan>t felt like it wan class="hi2">aan>s pulling me towan class="hi2">aan>rd God, like an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>gnet or an class="hi2">aan> van class="hi2">aan>cuum an class="hi2">aan>s though something wan class="hi2">aan>s so extremely an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ling an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttran class="hi2">aan>ctive than class="hi2">aan>t my whole being wan class="hi2">aan>nted to rush to it.
I han class="hi2">aan>d tean class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>nd then I han class="hi2">aan>d lan class="hi2">aan>ughter. an class="hi2">Aan>nd then I felt joy. Holy Spirit then san class="hi2">aan>id "sleep". an class="hi2">Aan>nd so I slept.
It's quite sobering to rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t God is not in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan> punisher or judger or condemner, does not send an class="hi2">aan>nyone to hell, an class="hi2">aan>nd lovingly an class="hi2">aan>ccepts us fully. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t it is entirely OUR belief to the contran class="hi2">aan>ry than class="hi2">aan>t we need to correct - our own unwillingness to an class="hi2">aan>ccept His benevolent nan class="hi2">aan>ture.

Sometimes I want to be a healer

Sometimes I wan class="hi2">aan>nt to be an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>ler. I wan class="hi2">aan>nt to be the one than class="hi2">aan>t helps or fixes or hean class="hi2">aan>ls someone. But in this there is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>uthority problem. I seem to believe than class="hi2">aan>t I must be the 'source' of this hean class="hi2">aan>ling, or than class="hi2">aan>t I must do something of myself. Even if I an class="hi2">aan>m perhan class="hi2">aan>ps involving Holy Spirit in this effort, it'll still be an class="hi2">aan>s though I'm trying to get Him to do whan class="hi2">aan>t I think needs to be done.
Recently I've been in an class="hi2">aan> situan class="hi2">aan>tion where someone wan class="hi2">aan>s sick an class="hi2">aan>nd I could not do an class="hi2">aan>nything whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever to help it. I tried. an class="hi2">Aan> lot. But nothing worked. an class="hi2">Aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. This wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> lesson. It showed me than class="hi2">aan>t I can class="hi2">aan>nnot do an class="hi2">aan>nything on my own an class="hi2">aan>nd it an class="hi2">aan>lso inspired me to seek out 'supernan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l' an class="hi2">aan>nd Spirit-driven possibilities. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it wan class="hi2">aan>s importan class="hi2">aan>nt to see this, even though it wan class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>inful. Without recognizing I can class="hi2">aan>n't do an class="hi2">aan>nything by myself, I would just keep trying an class="hi2">aan>nd not be willing to surrender.
The truth now han class="hi2">aan>s become clean class="hi2">aan>r. God is the one who wan class="hi2">aan>nts to hean class="hi2">aan>l. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the hean class="hi2">aan>ling might come through me for others. But the purpose of the hean class="hi2">aan>ling is for others, from God to them, an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lly I an class="hi2">aan>m mean class="hi2">aan>nt to just be an class="hi2">aan> chan class="hi2">aan>nnel/conduit/fan class="hi2">aan>cilitan class="hi2">aan>tor. I need to get my an class="hi2">aan>uthority-problem ego out of the wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> bridge.
It's not me than class="hi2">aan>t does the hean class="hi2">aan>ling. It's God/Holy Spirit/Jesus. an class="hi2">Aan>nd therefore, becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re involved, I need to respectfully an class="hi2">aan>sk them for their input an class="hi2">aan>nd help since, an class="hi2">aan>fter an class="hi2">aan>ll, man class="hi2">aan>ybe they don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt to hean class="hi2">aan>l someone or man class="hi2">aan>ybe it isn't an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>pproprian class="hi2">aan>te miran class="hi2">aan>cle. Jesus does wan class="hi2">aan>rn than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles should not be "under conscious control" an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t we should not perform them "indiscriminan class="hi2">aan>tely", since this man class="hi2">aan>y lean class="hi2">aan>d to ineffective sporan class="hi2">aan>dic outcomes or inan class="hi2">aan>pproprian class="hi2">aan>te side-effects.
I believe this now to mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t I should get my conscious-controlling ego out of the wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>nd be working WITH God/Holy Spirit/Jesus ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ve them working for me. I do not need to be the one who decides whether hean class="hi2">aan>ling will tan class="hi2">aan>ke plan class="hi2">aan>ce or not, I just need to show up an class="hi2">aan>nd offer my openness to connect to God an class="hi2">aan>nd extend His hean class="hi2">aan>ling.
This rean class="hi2">aan>lly is just an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of clan class="hi2">aan>rity, putting things in their proper perspective. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it is rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> han class="hi2">aan>rd lesson to lean class="hi2">aan>rn than class="hi2">aan>t God is the one with the an class="hi2">Aan>uthority an class="hi2">aan>nd I an class="hi2">aan>m just here to extend HIS Crean class="hi2">aan>tion. My ego wan class="hi2">aan>nts to be in control, or to be the hero, or the fixer/san class="hi2">aan>vior, but IT can class="hi2">aan>nnot do an class="hi2">aan>nything than class="hi2">aan>t works. Love is the motivan class="hi2">aan>ting force behind miran class="hi2">aan>cles, no wishes or guilt or projected dysfunction or man class="hi2">aan>king sickness rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd then trying to 'correct' it. It is still my function to see others an class="hi2">aan>s not sick an class="hi2">aan>nd not sinful, so than class="hi2">aan>t I can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>llow God's love to bridge the gan class="hi2">aan>p an class="hi2">aan>nd connect with them. This is an class="hi2">aan>ll so different to how my ego fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>lly wan class="hi2">aan>nts to function. It is the reversan class="hi2">aan>l of the an class="hi2">aan>uthority problem, which tan class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan> grean class="hi2">aan>t dean class="hi2">aan>l of surrender.
Once you do surrender an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>dmit than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re powerless an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>nnot do an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>lone, then you can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st become open-minded an class="hi2">aan>bout the possibility than class="hi2">aan>t God can class="hi2">aan>n help FOR you, than class="hi2">aan>t Holy Spirit can class="hi2">aan>n do this FOR you, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t you don't even need to be the one to fix things. Let go an class="hi2">aan>nd let God. The future is now more exciting, hean class="hi2">aan>ling-wise, simply becan class="hi2">aan>use I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>ligning more with God an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>llowing His hean class="hi2">aan>ling to flow, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n getting in the wan class="hi2">aan>y or interfering. It's an class="hi2">aan> tough lesson to stop fixing or meddling or correcting or believing in sickness, an class="hi2">aan>ll of which compels me to fight with sickness instean class="hi2">aan>d of stepping ban class="hi2">aan>ck to forgive, recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t rean class="hi2">aan>lity than class="hi2">aan>t there IS no sickness or dean class="hi2">aan>th becan class="hi2">aan>use than class="hi2">aan>t is not God's truth.

Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys in the course than class="hi2">aan>t there is no san class="hi2">aan>fety in the world. He an class="hi2">aan>lso san class="hi2">aan>ys bodies can class="hi2">aan>n clean class="hi2">aan>rly an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck bodies.

So whan class="hi2">aan>t is this world, where there is no san class="hi2">aan>fety, riddled with problems, everything can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked, an class="hi2">aan>nd the seeming impossibility of "an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>bility" seems to be ran class="hi2">aan>mpan class="hi2">aan>nt?
If you look you'll notice than class="hi2">aan>t everything physican class="hi2">aan>l in this world seems to be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ckan class="hi2">aan>ble. Nothing is truly protected from an class="hi2">aan>nything. an class="hi2">Aan>nything can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nything. The myth of san class="hi2">aan>fety on the level of form is everywhere, the desire to an class="hi2">aan>void physican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, injury, han class="hi2">aan>rm, dean class="hi2">aan>th, sickness etc. Yet none of these things should even be possible.

There is a way out of hell

There an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> set of steps by which your own sin comes to find itself inside of your brother.
1) Believe you an class="hi2">aan>re sinful (oops, an class="hi2">aan>re you sure?)
2) Gran class="hi2">aan>b an class="hi2">aan>hold of than class="hi2">aan>t sin
3) Han class="hi2">aan>nd it over to your brother an class="hi2">aan>nd shove it down his throan class="hi2">aan>t (project)
4) Disan class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>te yourself from it an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>sh your han class="hi2">aan>nds of it
5) Put on your 'han class="hi2">aan>ppy fan class="hi2">aan>ce' an class="hi2">aan>nd pretend you an class="hi2">aan>re innocent
6) Point an class="hi2">aan> finger an class="hi2">aan>t the sin, which is now in your brother
7) an class="hi2">Aan>ccuse your brother's sin of being evil, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck it
You then see sin in your brother an class="hi2">aan>nd seemingly 'not' in yourself, becan class="hi2">aan>use your man class="hi2">aan>sk of pretend innocence HIDES the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t the sin is still in you an class="hi2">aan>nd never left. The fan class="hi2">aan>ce of innocence covers up your guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>kes everyone believe you didn't do it.
The one left holding the ban class="hi2">aan>by is then your brother in whom you see your projected sin, an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck him for it, to man class="hi2">aan>ke sure it stan class="hi2">aan>ys well an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from you.
an class="hi2">Aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time, you an class="hi2">aan>re then terried than class="hi2">aan>t your own sin, which you got rid of, might come ban class="hi2">aan>ck to han class="hi2">aan>unt you. You stan class="hi2">aan>rt to suspect it's going to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck you, find you, hunt you down an class="hi2">aan>nd enan class="hi2">aan>ct itself upon you an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in.
an class="hi2">Aan>s this is plan class="hi2">aan>ying out, it seems to tran class="hi2">aan>nspire than class="hi2">aan>t 'the sin' does indeed come ban class="hi2">aan>ck to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck you, man class="hi2">aan>nifested in forms of punishment an class="hi2">aan>nd victimhood, seemingly done 'by' the person in whom you shoved your sin, an class="hi2">aan>nd now you get to clan class="hi2">aan>im:
"I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>n innocent victim, I did not an class="hi2">aan>sk for this, they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking me without my will, the sin is in them, look look I can class="hi2">aan>n see the sin in them, it's an class="hi2">aan>ll their fan class="hi2">aan>ult".
Well, pretty convenient, to keep up this chan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>de, given than class="hi2">aan>t it concean class="hi2">aan>ls the sin in you, within your own mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd puts on an class="hi2">aan> show than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re not sinful an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. You're trying to convince yourself an class="hi2">aan>nd everyone an class="hi2">aan>round you than class="hi2">aan>t you do not believe you an class="hi2">aan>re the sinner, an class="hi2">aan>ll the while keeping your sin hidden in the shan class="hi2">aan>dows of your mind undernean class="hi2">aan>th your blan class="hi2">aan>nket of fan class="hi2">aan>ke innocence.
Now, to reverse this is going to mean class="hi2">aan>n, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to tan class="hi2">aan>ke off the fan class="hi2">aan>ke man class="hi2">aan>sk of innocence, you an class="hi2">aan>re going to han class="hi2">aan>ve to stop being an class="hi2">aan> victim, an class="hi2">Aan>ND - horror of an class="hi2">aan>ll horrors - you an class="hi2">aan>re going to han class="hi2">aan>ve to Tan class="hi2">Aan>KE Ban class="hi2">Aan>CK the sin than class="hi2">aan>t you shoved into your brother. It's yours, an class="hi2">aan>nywan class="hi2">aan>y. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te your brother from your sin, i.e. from the guilt. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to find an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y to see them an class="hi2">aan>s innocent an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s not `owning` the sin. It's not theirs. They an class="hi2">aan>re not sinful.
But you don't rean class="hi2">aan>lly wan class="hi2">aan>nt to do this becan class="hi2">aan>use if you tan class="hi2">aan>ke ban class="hi2">aan>ck your sin, lo an class="hi2">aan>nd behold, your man class="hi2">aan>sk of innocence (which wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> totan class="hi2">aan>l fan class="hi2">aan>rce) han class="hi2">aan>s to be tan class="hi2">aan>ken off of yourself, an class="hi2">aan>nd you han class="hi2">aan>ve to come fan class="hi2">aan>ce to fan class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in with the sin being IN YOU. You do not like the sin being in you, than class="hi2">aan>t's why you tried to get rid of it in the first plan class="hi2">aan>ce.
So why would an class="hi2">aan>nyone 'seemingly' in their right mind wan class="hi2">aan>nt to tan class="hi2">aan>ke off their lovely sheen of innocence an class="hi2">aan>nd own up to being an class="hi2">aan> sinner? It's not exan class="hi2">aan>ctly an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttran class="hi2">aan>ctive offer.
However, until you do this you han class="hi2">aan>ve no chan class="hi2">aan>nce to rean class="hi2">aan>lly hean class="hi2">aan>l it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd there is an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>ling option. If you tan class="hi2">aan>ke it quickly to Holy Spirit an class="hi2">aan>nd let Him decide whether it's true or not, he will guan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ntee to find you an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS innocent.

There is an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y out of hell.

Finding a way to forgive the world

Forgiveness han class="hi2">aan>ppens when you refran class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan> sin an class="hi2">aan>s simply an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. When you can class="hi2">aan>n rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t it wan class="hi2">aan>s just an class="hi2">aan>n error, an class="hi2">aan>nd not an class="hi2">aan>n intentionan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, it is forgivan class="hi2">aan>ble. Sin deman class="hi2">aan>nds punishment, if it is truly evil. But mistan class="hi2">aan>kes can class="hi2">aan>n be corrected an class="hi2">aan>nd undone with no consequences.
If an class="hi2">aan> person is fully san class="hi2">aan>ne, in their right mind, with full an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of an class="hi2">aan>ll consequences, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly performs an class="hi2">aan> sin, which han class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l consequences on rean class="hi2">aan>lity, then truly this would be an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l sin. It would an class="hi2">aan>lso be unforgivan class="hi2">aan>ble.
However, such things an class="hi2">aan>re not possible. Nothing rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>n be threan class="hi2">aan>tened an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>l sin does not exist. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nything rean class="hi2">aan>l with an class="hi2">aan>ny rean class="hi2">aan>l consequences.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>ll sin is rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of belief. It han class="hi2">aan>ppens when an class="hi2">aan> mind is mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, believing than class="hi2">aan>t sin is POSSIBLE in the first plan class="hi2">aan>ce, such an class="hi2">aan>s than class="hi2">aan>t rean class="hi2">aan>lity Can class="hi2">Aan>N be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked. This is impossible, so the mind than class="hi2">aan>t believes it must be confused. This confusion is mentan class="hi2">aan>l illness.
an class="hi2">Aan>nyone who is in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of "sinning" is therefore NOT rean class="hi2">aan>lly in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of rean class="hi2">aan>l sin, they an class="hi2">aan>re in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of BELIEVING IN sin, but an class="hi2">aan>re completely mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. They believe something is possible which isn't. They believe they han class="hi2">aan>ve done something they could not do in truth.
If we think than class="hi2">aan>t the world exists, an class="hi2">aan>nd recognize honestly than class="hi2">aan>t it is cruel an class="hi2">aan>nd full of sins, then it is unforgivan class="hi2">aan>ble. If we think the world is rean class="hi2">aan>lly there, doing whan class="hi2">aan>t it does, it does NOT justify forgiveness. If its an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cks an class="hi2">aan>re true, or if its impossible proof of an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck is rean class="hi2">aan>l evidence, then there is no ban class="hi2">aan>sis for forgiving it.
In order to forgive the world, something han class="hi2">aan>s to han class="hi2">aan>ppen. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to find an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t it wan class="hi2">aan>s NOT Man class="hi2">Aan>DE BY an class="hi2">Aan> San class="hi2">Aan>NE MIND. If it were, sin would be rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd the world can class="hi2">aan>nnot be forgiven, becan class="hi2">aan>use man class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan> cruel world is truly evil.
Similan class="hi2">aan>rly if God in his right mind man class="hi2">aan>de the world, an class="hi2">aan>nd given the world IS an class="hi2">aan> cruel plan class="hi2">aan>ce (come on, an class="hi2">aan>dmit it), then God WOULD indeed be cruel an class="hi2">aan>nd evil to man class="hi2">aan>ke such an class="hi2">aan> thing, an class="hi2">aan>nd to subject his children to it on purpose. If God DID man class="hi2">aan>ke the world, God is an class="hi2">aan> sinner an class="hi2">aan>nd the world is man class="hi2">aan>de of rean class="hi2">aan>l sin an class="hi2">aan>nd Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT be forgiven.
But if the mind than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>de it is han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>llucinan class="hi2">aan>ted nightman class="hi2">aan>re, which projects an class="hi2">aan>n iman class="hi2">aan>ginan class="hi2">aan>ry world of sin, an class="hi2">aan>nd does NOT KNOW whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re doing, then the world they man class="hi2">aan>ke is NOT rean class="hi2">aan>lly sinning.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t we need to recognize in an class="hi2">Aan>CIM is than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly went into an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of internan class="hi2">aan>l insan class="hi2">aan>nity first, believing we han class="hi2">aan>d sinned an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst God with rean class="hi2">aan>l consequences, an class="hi2">aan>nd this induced huge guilt. We then moved into denian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd projection an class="hi2">aan>nd dissocian class="hi2">aan>tion to try to disown it, which eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly produced the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of innocence an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> cover-up.
But it wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly from our internan class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>te of "fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception" than class="hi2">aan>t WE PROJECTED THE WORLD OUTWan class="hi2">Aan>RD. It wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> projection OF our inner self-an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd the wish for dean class="hi2">aan>th. The world wan class="hi2">aan>s supposed to be an class="hi2">aan> SOLUTION to our sin, by getting rid of whan class="hi2">aan>t we did not wan class="hi2">aan>nt, an class="hi2">aan>nd externan class="hi2">aan>lizing our guilt.
"The world is fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception. It is born of error, an class="hi2">aan>nd it han class="hi2">aan>s not left its source."
"You an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>T ODDS with the world an class="hi2">aan>s you perceive it becan class="hi2">aan>use you think IT is an class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>gonistic to you. THIS IS an class="hi2">Aan> NECESSan class="hi2">Aan>RY CONSEQUENCE OF WHan class="hi2">Aan>T YOU Han class="hi2">Aan>VE DONE. You han class="hi2">aan>ve projected outwan class="hi2">aan>rd whan class="hi2">aan>t IS an class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>gonistic to whan class="hi2">aan>t is inwan class="hi2">aan>rd"
"The world you man class="hi2">aan>de is therefore totan class="hi2">aan>lly chan class="hi2">aan>otic, governed by an class="hi2">aan>rbitran class="hi2">aan>ry an class="hi2">aan>nd senseless "lan class="hi2">aan>ws," an class="hi2">aan>nd without mean class="hi2">aan>ning of an class="hi2">Aan>NY kind.

Whan class="hi2">aan>t this mean class="hi2">aan>ns is than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly were NOT in our right minds when we man class="hi2">aan>de the world. We were in an class="hi2">aan>n insan class="hi2">aan>ne stan class="hi2">aan>te of dan class="hi2">aan>rkness, confusion an class="hi2">aan>nd despan class="hi2">aan>ir.

This wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>gican class="hi2">aan>l solution to an class="hi2">aan>n internan class="hi2">aan>l problem.
"The body is the idean class="hi2">aan> of sin man class="hi2">aan>de flesh an class="hi2">aan>nd projected outwan class="hi2">aan>rd."
"The world you see is the delusionan class="hi2">aan>l system of those man class="hi2">aan>de man class="hi2">aan>d by guilt."

"The UNrean class="hi2">aan>l world IS an class="hi2">aan> thing of despan class="hi2">aan>ir, for it can class="hi2">aan>n never be."

"This world IS an class="hi2">aan> picture of the crucifixion of God's Son." The world, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> picture of crucifixion (dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck), wan class="hi2">aan>s projected out from our minds, in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd insan class="hi2">aan>nity. We did not man class="hi2">aan>ke it in han class="hi2">aan>ppiness. We did not man class="hi2">aan>ke it in an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of the consequences. We did not man class="hi2">aan>ke it an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> san class="hi2">aan>ne logican class="hi2">aan>l conclusion. an class="hi2">Aan>nd we did not man class="hi2">aan>ke it in an class="hi2">aan> clean class="hi2">aan>r-hean class="hi2">aan>ded stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind.
We man class="hi2">aan>de the world an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> ban class="hi2">aan>ndan class="hi2">aan>id of denian class="hi2">aan>l to cover up our guilt. We man class="hi2">aan>de it by mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. We chose an class="hi2">aan> poor sloppy solution to the guilt in our mind, in an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to use dissocian class="hi2">aan>tion to man class="hi2">aan>ke the guilt unconscious. We tried to escan class="hi2">aan>pe from our inner world, by projecting its contents outside. This formed the physican class="hi2">aan>l universe.
"Projection man class="hi2">aan>kes perception; the world you see is whan class="hi2">aan>t you Gan class="hi2">Aan>VE it, nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t.

It is the witness to your stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind, the OUTSIDE picture of an class="hi2">aan>n INWan class="hi2">Aan>RD condition."
We didn't know whan class="hi2">aan>t we were doing. We WERE in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of being mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. We believed sin wan class="hi2">aan>s possible, which is an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. We believed we han class="hi2">aan>d sinned, which wan class="hi2">aan>s not true. We believed we should be guilty, which wan class="hi2">aan>s unjustified. an class="hi2">Aan>nd we believed we should be punished, when it wan class="hi2">aan>s un-can class="hi2">aan>lled for. We believed in lies an class="hi2">aan>nd deception. We han class="hi2">aan>d rejected truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lity, an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>nity.
The world we man class="hi2">aan>de wan class="hi2">aan>sn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly man class="hi2">aan>de in an class="hi2">aan> clean class="hi2">aan>r stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind.

"The world is fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception. It is born of error"
If we can class="hi2">aan>n then recognize than class="hi2">aan>t when we man class="hi2">aan>de the world we were not san class="hi2">aan>ne, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t the world symbolizes than class="hi2">aan>t insan class="hi2">aan>nity, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t we man class="hi2">aan>de Wan class="hi2">Aan>S ugly an class="hi2">aan>nd cruel an class="hi2">aan>nd vicious an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>dly, becan class="hi2">aan>use of the stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind we were in an class="hi2">aan>t the time, then there IS JUSTIFICan class="hi2">Aan>TION FOR FORGIVENESS. an class="hi2">Aan>s Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys, "forgive them for they know NOT whan class="hi2">aan>t they do." In our guilt we insan class="hi2">aan>nely man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>n insan class="hi2">aan>ne world. an class="hi2">Aan> grotesque, stran class="hi2">aan>nge, self-denying, self-an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking, confused insan class="hi2">aan>ne world.
"Whan class="hi2">aan>t is producing this world is insan class="hi2">aan>ne, an class="hi2">aan>nd so is whan class="hi2">aan>t it produces."
Given than class="hi2">aan>t it IS an class="hi2">aan>n insan class="hi2">aan>ne world, this mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t it is NOT REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY an class="hi2">Aan> SIN. Nor wan class="hi2">aan>s the mind than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>de it truly sinning. The mind than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>de it wan class="hi2">aan>s MISTan class="hi2">Aan>KEN. Which mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t WHEN we an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, we man class="hi2">aan>ke the physican class="hi2">aan>l world. We man class="hi2">aan>ke FROM our mistan class="hi2">aan>kenness, an class="hi2">aan>nd by mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. Given than class="hi2">aan>t it IS an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, it Can class="hi2">Aan>N be forgiven.
When we sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted from God, two things han class="hi2">aan>ppened. 1) We entered an class="hi2">aan>n insan class="hi2">aan>ne stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd 2) We projected out an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l world from than class="hi2">aan>t stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind. Our tan class="hi2">aan>sk now is to CHan class="hi2">Aan>NGE OUR MIND, to receive correction without punishment, so than class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>n lift the insan class="hi2">aan>nity from our minds. By doing so, we become an class="hi2">aan>ble to look upon the world WITHOUT the insan class="hi2">aan>nity than class="hi2">aan>t we han class="hi2">aan>d when we originan class="hi2">aan>lly man class="hi2">aan>de it.
Insan class="hi2">aan>nity is an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd sin an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd blan class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>nner of distortion. This wan class="hi2">aan>s PUT ONTO the world, or more precisely, wan class="hi2">aan>s whan class="hi2">aan>t the PROJECTION of the world wan class="hi2">aan>s ban class="hi2">aan>sed upon. It is the world's roots. The world Can class="hi2">Aan>ME FROM an class="hi2">aan> belief in sin an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th. But than class="hi2">aan>t belief wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if than class="hi2">aan>t belied is corrected, then you're left with an class="hi2">aan> world than class="hi2">aan>t you man class="hi2">aan>de IN ERROR, FROM UGLINESS, an class="hi2">Aan>ND DO NOT Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT.
"This world wan class="hi2">aan>s over long an class="hi2">aan>go. The thoughts than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>de it an class="hi2">aan>re no longer ***in*** the mind ***than class="hi2">aan>t thought of them***, an class="hi2">aan>nd loved them for an class="hi2">aan> while."
The perception you han class="hi2">aan>ve "of the world", without the ban class="hi2">aan>ggan class="hi2">aan>ge of sin an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt, is whan class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>ll the forgiven world. It's an class="hi2">aan> stran class="hi2">aan>nge miscrean class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>n odd form, which we sculpted in insan class="hi2">aan>nity. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re coming an class="hi2">aan>round to sense an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>son, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n see the whole picture, whan class="hi2">aan>t we man class="hi2">aan>de is now seen from an class="hi2">aan> lighter an class="hi2">aan>nd truer perspective. Than class="hi2">aan>t light true perspective is forgiveness an class="hi2">aan>nd it lets us look on whan class="hi2">aan>t we DID Man class="hi2">Aan>KE IN Han class="hi2">Aan>TE, but without han class="hi2">aan>ting it.
"the world they thought wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de in han class="hi2">aan>te to be love's enemy." "Loveliness can class="hi2">aan>n light your iman class="hi2">aan>ges, an class="hi2">aan>nd so tran class="hi2">aan>nsform them than class="hi2">aan>t you will love them even though they were man class="hi2">aan>de of han class="hi2">aan>te."
ie you an class="hi2">aan>re chan class="hi2">aan>nging your mind "an class="hi2">aan>bout the world". But the world itself is still going to reman class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>s it is. It will still seem to function in time. It will still spin. It will still han class="hi2">aan>ve sean class="hi2">aan>sons.

It will still han class="hi2">aan>ve wan class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>nd murder an class="hi2">aan>nd sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th. Becan class="hi2">aan>use this is whan class="hi2">aan>t you man class="hi2">aan>de when you were insan class="hi2">aan>ne. You set it in motion. But now you can class="hi2">aan>n look an class="hi2">aan>t the twisted forms you man class="hi2">aan>de "in hell", an class="hi2">aan>nd see them from an class="hi2">aan> more loving perspective.
ONLY IF the world is an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, Can class="hi2">Aan>N IT BE FORGIVEN. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot forgive rean class="hi2">aan>lity, or rean class="hi2">aan>l sin. You can class="hi2">aan>n only forgive mistan class="hi2">aan>kes.

Non-duality has a major authority problem

Here's an class="hi2">aan>nother an class="hi2">aan>ngle on the problem of regan class="hi2">aan>rding an class="hi2">Aan>CIM an class="hi2">aan>s "non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity."
In an class="hi2">Aan>CIM we're told than class="hi2">aan>t God is an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tor, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>ted sons. You an class="hi2">aan>re one of those sons, which mean class="hi2">aan>ns you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> child of God. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns God is your pan class="hi2">aan>rent. God is the Can class="hi2">Aan>USE of you, an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>n EFFECT. In the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God, or "fan class="hi2">aan>ll of man class="hi2">aan>n", there wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> rebellion an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst God being your pan class="hi2">aan>rent. The sons of God rejected God's can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>tion of them an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>nted to reinvent/crean class="hi2">aan>te themselves.
They developed an class="hi2">aan> problem with God's an class="hi2">aan>uthority. The wan class="hi2">aan>nted to han class="hi2">aan>ve power over God an class="hi2">aan>nd to be his equan class="hi2">aan>l, instean class="hi2">aan>d of being his child. They did not wan class="hi2">aan>nt to be secondan class="hi2">aan>ry crean class="hi2">aan>tions, they wan class="hi2">aan>nted to be priman class="hi2">aan>ry. They did not wan class="hi2">aan>nt to be an class="hi2">aan>n effect of him, they wan class="hi2">aan>nted to be "free from his influence".
This then led to the man class="hi2">aan>king of an class="hi2">aan> world of bodies an class="hi2">aan>nd egos where we would try to reinvent ourselves an class="hi2">aan>nd deifne whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re, without God. But this mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t in order to wan class="hi2">aan>ke up to rean class="hi2">aan>lity, to become "one with God", to experience oneness an class="hi2">aan>nd truth, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly return to an class="hi2">aan> role an class="hi2">aan>nd function where you an class="hi2">aan>re SECOND to God.
It is not an class="hi2">aan>bout returning to being first, or priman class="hi2">aan>ry, or God's equan class="hi2">aan>l, or han class="hi2">aan>ving the san class="hi2">aan>me function an class="hi2">aan>s God. It is not an class="hi2">aan>bout you going to the top of the mountan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ving nothing an class="hi2">aan>bove you.
In order to get out of hell you han class="hi2">aan>ve to undo your problem with an class="hi2">aan>uthority. You can class="hi2">aan>n only han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> problem with an class="hi2">aan>uthority if in truth you an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re BELOW God an class="hi2">aan>nd God is GREan class="hi2">Aan>TER than class="hi2">aan>n you, so than class="hi2">aan>t there might be grounds for wan class="hi2">aan>nting to overthrow his an class="hi2">aan>uthority over you.
"recognition of the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t the Fan class="hi2">aan>ther is GREan class="hi2">Aan>TER."
If you subscribe to an class="hi2">aan> non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity idean class="hi2">aan> of rean class="hi2">aan>lity, where you clan class="hi2">aan>im to return to oneness, where you clan class="hi2">aan>im to be God, where you see yourself an class="hi2">aan>s not an class="hi2">aan> fully-crean class="hi2">aan>ted sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te being or an class="hi2">aan> "child of God", an class="hi2">aan>nd where you do not an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge God an class="hi2">aan>s your fan class="hi2">aan>ther, you an class="hi2">aan>re missing an class="hi2">aan> HUGE portion of an class="hi2">Aan>CIM's tean class="hi2">aan>ching.
an class="hi2">Aan>CIM doesn't tean class="hi2">aan>ch than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re going to just become the oneness an class="hi2">aan>nd be God an class="hi2">aan>nd rule rean class="hi2">aan>lity. It san class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t you need to an class="hi2">aan>ccept God an class="hi2">aan>s your source, receive your inheritan class="hi2">aan>nce from him, than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re only whan class="hi2">aan>t HE han class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>ted you to be, than class="hi2">aan>t your only function is to EXTEND him, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t you will forever be an class="hi2">aan>n EFFECT of him.
This idean class="hi2">aan> of being an class="hi2">aan>n effect of God, second to God, is an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely core in an class="hi2">Aan>CIM's metan class="hi2">aan>physics. There MUST BE an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>ted second being, an class="hi2">aan> child of God, an class="hi2">aan> son of God, in order for there to han class="hi2">aan>ve ever been an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion ie an class="hi2">aan>uthority problem in the first plan class="hi2">aan>ce. There could be no rebellion without you being LESS than class="hi2">aan>n God, in an class="hi2">aan> sense.
So non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity doesn't usuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>ccomodan class="hi2">aan>te this. Nor does tran class="hi2">aan>ditionan class="hi2">aan>l idean class="hi2">aan>s of "its an class="hi2">aan>ll oneness". It doesn't usuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge than class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>nything, than class="hi2">aan>t he han class="hi2">aan>s children, than class="hi2">aan>t YOU han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rent, or than class="hi2">aan>t there is something BIGGER an class="hi2">Aan>ND GREan class="hi2">Aan>TER THan class="hi2">Aan>N YOU.
But an class="hi2">Aan>CIM is telling you than class="hi2">aan>t the only wan class="hi2">aan>y for you to find san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd return to rean class="hi2">aan>lity is to an class="hi2">aan>ccept than class="hi2">aan>t God is your fan class="hi2">aan>ther, NOT your equan class="hi2">aan>l. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot regan class="hi2">aan>in your inheritan class="hi2">aan>nce without an class="hi2">aan>ccepting than class="hi2">aan>t you inherited it FROM God BECan class="hi2">Aan>USE he is your pan class="hi2">aan>rent. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>nnot resume your role an class="hi2">aan>nd function in rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>s co-crean class="hi2">aan>tor without an class="hi2">aan>cknowledging than class="hi2">aan>t God is the FIRST Can class="hi2">Aan>USE an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re SECOND. You an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> CO-CREan class="hi2">Aan>TOR not the PRIMan class="hi2">Aan>RY crean class="hi2">aan>tor. God can class="hi2">aan>me first.
"Think not HE wills to bind you, Who han class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de you co-crean class="hi2">aan>tor of the universe an class="hi2">aan>long with Him."
Since for exan class="hi2">aan>mple in an class="hi2">Aan>dvian class="hi2">aan>tan class="hi2">aan> non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity usuan class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns "there is no second", it is TOTan class="hi2">Aan>LLY incompan class="hi2">aan>tible with an class="hi2">Aan>CIM's tean class="hi2">aan>ching. It does not an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge God han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> child, or of you BEING an class="hi2">aan> child. OR than class="hi2">aan>t your ultiman class="hi2">aan>te role an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ximan class="hi2">aan>l experience of rean class="hi2">aan>lity is going to entan class="hi2">aan>il you being whan class="hi2">aan>t SOMEONE ELSE wan class="hi2">aan>nts you to be. Than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>S GOD crean class="hi2">aan>ted you to be, not whan class="hi2">aan>t "you chose".
It thus requires humility to an class="hi2">aan>ccept than class="hi2">aan>t God is grean class="hi2">aan>ter than class="hi2">aan>n you an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t in ultiman class="hi2">aan>te rean class="hi2">aan>lity you an class="hi2">aan>re going to return to an class="hi2">aan> position in which you an class="hi2">aan>re NOT FIRST, you an class="hi2">aan>re not the prime crean class="hi2">aan>tor, you an class="hi2">aan>re not the an class="hi2">aan>ll-encompan class="hi2">aan>ssing source of rean class="hi2">aan>lity, an class="hi2">aan>nd you DO NOT Man class="hi2">Aan>KE THE RULES.
Non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity ran class="hi2">aan>rely suggests an class="hi2">aan>ny compan class="hi2">aan>tibility with this idean class="hi2">aan> of being an class="hi2">aan> CHILD of God, or of there being an class="hi2">aan>ny grounds for an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>uthority problem, or an class="hi2">aan> necessity for its undoing. Usuan class="hi2">aan>lly it points to the dissolution of your self, the eran class="hi2">aan>sing of God's CHILD, an class="hi2">aan>nd some kind of lofty return to you being "only God". an class="hi2">Aan>s if you an class="hi2">aan>re the oneness an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re the ultiman class="hi2">aan>te. YOU an class="hi2">Aan>RE NOT!!!!
God is first, you an class="hi2">aan>re second. Than class="hi2">aan>t is whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>cceptan class="hi2">aan>nce of the an class="hi2">aan>tonement mean class="hi2">aan>ns. God is your fan class="hi2">aan>ther an class="hi2">aan>nd he is grean class="hi2">aan>ter than class="hi2">aan>n you, an class="hi2">aan>nd you're going to han class="hi2">aan>ve to "suck it up" an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccept it instean class="hi2">aan>d of wan class="hi2">aan>nting to be the centran class="hi2">aan>l figure an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>r of the show. You an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> secondan class="hi2">aan>ry being. Not less than class="hi2">aan>n God but an class="hi2">aan>lso not grean class="hi2">aan>ter, an class="hi2">aan>nd not equan class="hi2">aan>l. You an class="hi2">aan>re not equan class="hi2">aan>l to ultiman class="hi2">aan>te rean class="hi2">aan>lity. You an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt within it.
To recognize this is to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>CIM can class="hi2">aan>nnot be non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity becan class="hi2">aan>use it han class="hi2">aan>s to an class="hi2">aan>ccommodan class="hi2">aan>te SONS OF GOD in order to an class="hi2">aan>ccommodan class="hi2">aan>te the an class="hi2">aan>uthority problem an class="hi2">Aan>ND its proper undoing.

You are living in a dream world

"an class="hi2">Aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of drean class="hi2">aan>ming is the rean class="hi2">aan>l function of God's tean class="hi2">aan>chers. They wan class="hi2">aan>tch the drean class="hi2">aan>m figures come an class="hi2">aan>nd go, shift an class="hi2">aan>nd chan class="hi2">aan>nge, suffer an class="hi2">aan>nd die. Yet they an class="hi2">aan>re not deceived by whan class="hi2">aan>t they see."

The world in which we think we live, is nothing but an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m. But we're so used to being in it, than class="hi2">aan>t we refer to it an class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l.

To an class="hi2">aan>lign ourselves with the truth, however, we need to properly identify whan class="hi2">aan>t this world is. This world is UNREan class="hi2">Aan>L. It's an class="hi2">aan> han class="hi2">aan>llucinan class="hi2">aan>ted drean class="hi2">aan>m han class="hi2">aan>ppening in the mind of someone who doesn't wan class="hi2">aan>nt to an class="hi2">aan>ccept rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Rean class="hi2">aan>lity is the Kingdom of God, beyond span class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd time. The contents of this world an class="hi2">aan>re fan class="hi2">aan>lse.

"The only effort you need man class="hi2">aan>ke, to give this world an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y in glan class="hi2">aan>d exchan class="hi2">aan>nge for whan class="hi2">aan>t you did NOT man class="hi2">aan>ke is willingness to lean class="hi2">aan>rn THE ONE YOU Man class="hi2">Aan>DE IS Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE."

We should properly identify then than class="hi2">aan>t this world IS an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, it is UNREan class="hi2">Aan>L, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE.

This mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t, everything in this world is NOT an class="hi2">aan> "rean class="hi2">aan>l" an class="hi2">aan>nything. So an class="hi2">aan>ll the things we think an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>l, need to be re-lan class="hi2">aan>belled an class="hi2">aan>s not rean class="hi2">aan>l. For exan class="hi2">aan>mple, sickness is not REan class="hi2">Aan>L sickness.

But than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>LL "an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l" sickness is NOT rean class="hi2">aan>l.

Can class="hi2">aan>ncer is not rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>ncer, it's fan class="hi2">aan>ke can class="hi2">aan>ncer.

Nothing is ever rean class="hi2">aan>lly dying becan class="hi2">aan>use it can class="hi2">aan>n't, it just chan class="hi2">aan>nges from one illusion to an class="hi2">aan>nother, an class="hi2">aan>nd it's just an class="hi2">aan> neutran class="hi2">aan>l nothingness. Every kind of sickness or suffering is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion an class="hi2">aan>nd NOT an class="hi2">Aan> REan class="hi2">Aan>L ONE. an class="hi2">Aan>nd there is no counterpan class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> REan class="hi2">Aan>L sickness or suffering of an class="hi2">aan>ny kind.

None of these things can class="hi2">aan>n exist in rean class="hi2">aan>lity. In hean class="hi2">aan>ven there is no sickness or suffering, no an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck or dean class="hi2">aan>th, nothing goes wrong, there an class="hi2">aan>re no problems, there's no job to work an class="hi2">aan>t or house to man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>in, there's no stores to buy cran class="hi2">aan>p an class="hi2">aan>t or streets for can class="hi2">aan>rs than class="hi2">aan>t brean class="hi2">aan>k down. There isn't even an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l sun.

"The rean class="hi2">aan>l world is not like this.

There is no dan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t brightens an class="hi2">aan>nd grows dim. There is no loss."

So in this world, when you look an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nything, you should rean class="hi2">aan>lly be recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t it is an class="hi2">aan> DREan class="hi2">Aan>M OF something. an class="hi2">Aan> sick broken body is not an class="hi2">aan> REan class="hi2">Aan>L sick broken body, it's an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ke body pretending to be sick. an class="hi2">Aan> dean class="hi2">aan>d body is not an class="hi2">aan> REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY dean class="hi2">aan>d body, it's an class="hi2">aan> DREan class="hi2">Aan>M IMan class="hi2">Aan>GE of an class="hi2">aan> dean class="hi2">aan>d body pretending to look like it's dean class="hi2">aan>d. It's no different than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> living one becan class="hi2">aan>use they're both totan class="hi2">aan>lly fan class="hi2">aan>ke. Their forms different but they don't rean class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nything different.

This an class="hi2">aan>lso why there is rean class="hi2">aan>lly no dean class="hi2">aan>th, becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>ll of these things which we think "die" an class="hi2">aan>re just drean class="hi2">aan>ms. Rean class="hi2">aan>lity can class="hi2">aan>nnot die becan class="hi2">aan>use it can class="hi2">aan>nnot be threan class="hi2">aan>tened. They're figments of the mind.

This is why an class="hi2">Aan>CIM an class="hi2">aan>lso tean class="hi2">aan>ches than class="hi2">aan>t the body can class="hi2">aan>nnot rean class="hi2">aan>lly die, OR live, becan class="hi2">aan>use it is nothing. It is mean class="hi2">aan>ningless.

"The body neither lives nor dies, becan class="hi2">aan>use it can class="hi2">aan>nnot contan class="hi2">aan>in you who an class="hi2">Aan>RE life."

"Use it to bring the Word of God to those who han class="hi2">aan>ve It not, an class="hi2">aan>nd the body becomes holy. Becan class="hi2">aan>use it is holy it can class="hi2">aan>nnot be sick, nor can class="hi2">aan>n it die."

"There IS no life outside of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. Where God crean class="hi2">aan>ted life, there life must be. In an class="hi2">Aan>NY stan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt from Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, life is illusion. an class="hi2">Aan>t best, it SEEMS like life; an class="hi2">aan>t worst, like dean class="hi2">aan>th. Yet both an class="hi2">aan>re judgments on whan class="hi2">aan>t is NOT life, equan class="hi2">aan>l in their inan class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>cy an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>ck of mean class="hi2">aan>ning.

"My body disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>red becan class="hi2">aan>use I han class="hi2">aan>d no illusion an class="hi2">aan>bout it. The lan class="hi2">aan>st one han class="hi2">aan>d gone. It wan class="hi2">aan>s lan class="hi2">aan>id in the tomb, but there wan class="hi2">aan>s nothing left to bury.

Whan class="hi2">aan>t we need to lean class="hi2">aan>rn an class="hi2">aan>s tean class="hi2">aan>chers of God, is to recognize an class="hi2">aan>nd be an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re than class="hi2">aan>t we're literan class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>nging out inside an class="hi2">aan> gian class="hi2">aan>nt DREan class="hi2">Aan>M right now.

Your sins an class="hi2">aan>ren't rean class="hi2">aan>l either, becan class="hi2">aan>use there is no such thing an class="hi2">aan>s REan class="hi2">Aan>L sin.

It's an class="hi2">aan> complete refran class="hi2">aan>ming of this whole "rean class="hi2">aan>lity", this whole experientian class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>lm of mind or system of thought. To rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t since it is opposite to rean class="hi2">aan>lity, it is UNrean class="hi2">aan>lity, an class="hi2">aan>nd is just an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m. We try to GIVE it rean class="hi2">aan>lity to Man class="hi2">Aan>KE it rean class="hi2">aan>l, but we only do this BECan class="hi2">Aan>USE it's not rean class="hi2">aan>l. We wan class="hi2">aan>nt to believe in it an class="hi2">aan>nd van class="hi2">aan>lue it, only becan class="hi2">aan>use it Han class="hi2">Aan>S no van class="hi2">aan>lue of its own.

To recognize the world for whan class="hi2">aan>t it IS, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to can class="hi2">aan>tegorize its ENTIRE CONTENTS an class="hi2">aan>s unrean class="hi2">aan>l. Everything the body can class="hi2">aan>n see with its physican class="hi2">aan>l sight han class="hi2">aan>s to be recognized an class="hi2">aan>s NOT REan class="hi2">Aan>L, an class="hi2">aan>nd NOT TRUE, an class="hi2">aan>nd NOT an class="hi2">Aan>CTUan class="hi2">Aan>L.

"The body's eyes will continue to see differences, but the mind which han class="hi2">aan>s let itself be hean class="hi2">aan>led will no longer an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge them. There will be those who seem to be "sicker" than class="hi2">aan>n others, an class="hi2">aan>nd the body's eyes will report their chan class="hi2">aan>nged an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces an class="hi2">aan>s before. ****But the mind will put them an class="hi2">aan>ll in one can class="hi2">aan>tegory - they an class="hi2">aan>re unrean class="hi2">aan>l.**** This is the gift of its Tean class="hi2">aan>cher; the understan class="hi2">aan>nding than class="hi2">aan>t only two can class="hi2">aan>tegories an class="hi2">aan>re mean class="hi2">aan>ningful in sorting out the messan class="hi2">aan>ges the mind receives from whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to be the outside world. an class="hi2">Aan>nd of these two but one is rean class="hi2">aan>l.

The one an class="hi2">aan>nswer to sickness of an class="hi2">aan>ny kind is hean class="hi2">aan>ling. The one an class="hi2">aan>nswer to an class="hi2">aan>ll illusions is truth."

So we should get our mind into the han class="hi2">aan>bit of regan class="hi2">aan>rd the things of this world an class="hi2">aan>s DREan class="hi2">Aan>MS. an class="hi2">Aan>s fiction. Properly lan class="hi2">aan>belling them an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>rtifician class="hi2">aan>l fan class="hi2">aan>ke things. If your pan class="hi2">aan>rtner han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l sickness in their body, they DO NOT han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> REan class="hi2">Aan>L sickness in an class="hi2">aan> REan class="hi2">Aan>L body. It's an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of sickness in an class="hi2">aan>n illusory body.

You wan class="hi2">aan>ke up in the morning an class="hi2">aan>nd brush your drean class="hi2">aan>m teeth an class="hi2">aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>t your drean class="hi2">aan>m brean class="hi2">aan>kfan class="hi2">aan>st an class="hi2">aan>nd drive to your drean class="hi2">aan>m job, you do your drean class="hi2">aan>m work an class="hi2">aan>nd drive your drean class="hi2">aan>m can class="hi2">aan>r home an class="hi2">aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>t your drean class="hi2">aan>m supper. Then you go to drean class="hi2">aan>m sleep in your drean class="hi2">aan>m bed an class="hi2">aan>nd pretend to drean class="hi2">aan>m within an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m.

It's precisely BY recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> sick body does not han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> REan class="hi2">Aan>L sickness, than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll power is stripped from the sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd it is recognized an class="hi2">aan>s nothing. This is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the hean class="hi2">aan>ling an class="hi2">aan>pproan class="hi2">aan>ch of an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker. When sickness is rean class="hi2">aan>lized to be FICTION, it holds no weight an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s no power an class="hi2">aan>nd is nothing an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. "Illusions recognized must disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r" an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is recognized an class="hi2">aan>s nothing must van class="hi2">aan>nish.

Rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness does not exist an class="hi2">aan>nywhere, just the illusion of sickness pretending to be sickness. It is empty.

"Here is the Can class="hi2">Aan>USE of unrean class="hi2">aan>lity. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it is here than class="hi2">aan>t it will be undone. YOU an class="hi2">aan>re the drean class="hi2">aan>mer of the world of drean class="hi2">aan>ms. No OTHER can class="hi2">aan>use it han class="hi2">aan>s, nor ever will."

"You will first DREan class="hi2">Aan>M of pean class="hi2">aan>ce, an class="hi2">aan>nd THEN an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken to it.

"Yet nothing in the world of drean class="hi2">aan>ms reman class="hi2">aan>ins without the hope of chan class="hi2">aan>nge an class="hi2">aan>nd betterment, for here is NOT where chan class="hi2">aan>ngelessness is found.

ARTICLE:
When did you last do a forgiveness?

I an class="hi2">aan>sked myself yesterdan class="hi2">aan>y, when wan class="hi2">aan>s the list time I an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly "did an class="hi2">aan> forgiveness" ... perhan class="hi2">aan>ps becan class="hi2">aan>use I know than class="hi2">aan>t forgiveness is very importan class="hi2">aan>nt - its the core of an class="hi2">Aan>CIM pran class="hi2">aan>ctice - but wan class="hi2">aan>s I an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly DOING it?
Whan class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>me to mind wan class="hi2">aan>sn't the typican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nswer, you know, thinking ban class="hi2">aan>ck to how man class="hi2">aan>ny times I 'did something'.
Instean class="hi2">aan>d, whan class="hi2">aan>t I recognized is, forgiveness or 'being forgiving' is an class="hi2">aan> constan class="hi2">aan>nt stan class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t Holy Spirit represents, in which an class="hi2">aan>ll is seen an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy forgiven an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t there is nothing 'to' forgive - becan class="hi2">aan>use forgiveness fore-gives in order NOT to judge.
So this led to recognizing an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>cknowledging, than class="hi2">aan>t perhan class="hi2">aan>ps in some wan class="hi2">aan>y I an class="hi2">aan>m 'being forgiving' an class="hi2">aan>ll the time, to some degree, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> constan class="hi2">aan>nt thing ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>s one-off events of sudden correction.
See, there's an class="hi2">aan> difference between being forgiving an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>pplying an class="hi2">aan> correction. Correction is there to undo fan class="hi2">aan>ulty perceptions so than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n RETURN to an class="hi2">aan> forgiving an class="hi2">aan>ttitude. Yet in the pan class="hi2">aan>st I used to think forgiveness is the pan class="hi2">aan>rt where you correct the an class="hi2">aan>ttitude - the process.
So I stopped to get an class="hi2">aan> sense of... an class="hi2">aan>m I, in generan class="hi2">aan>l, han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> more forgiving an class="hi2">aan>ttitude than class="hi2">aan>n I used to han class="hi2">aan>ve.... an class="hi2">aan>m I can class="hi2">aan>rrying an class="hi2">aan>round with me an class="hi2">aan> constan class="hi2">aan>ntly more forgiving wan class="hi2">aan>y of perceiving, regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of whether it's punctuan class="hi2">aan>ted with "Oh I gottan class="hi2">aan> do something" procedures an class="hi2">aan>nd techniques. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in generan class="hi2">aan>l, I don't rean class="hi2">aan>lly know.. but I think I'd han class="hi2">aan>ve to san class="hi2">aan>y yes, I'm generan class="hi2">aan>lly more forgiving.
In other words, ean class="hi2">aan>ch time an class="hi2">aan> correction is man class="hi2">aan>de, I become more forgiving in generan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd my 'level' of forgiving an class="hi2">aan>ttitude ran class="hi2">aan>ises. It's an class="hi2">aan> constan class="hi2">aan>nt, not an class="hi2">aan> one-off. I'm less judgementan class="hi2">aan>l. I'm not an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ched. I'm less rean class="hi2">aan>ctive. I'm generan class="hi2">aan>lly "stronger in the truth" (Jesus's words to me).

You have a problem with God's authority

In an class="hi2">Aan>CIM we're told we han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>uthority problem.

We're told than class="hi2">aan>t God is the an class="hi2">aan>uthor of us, becan class="hi2">aan>use he is our crean class="hi2">aan>tor an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>use. We're told we an class="hi2">aan>re forever an class="hi2">aan>n effect of God. This mean class="hi2">aan>ns God is the an class="hi2">aan>uthor of us an class="hi2">aan>nd he han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>uthority over us. an class="hi2">Aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use he IS an class="hi2">Aan>N an class="hi2">Aan>UTHOR (crean class="hi2">aan>tor), we Han class="hi2">Aan>VE BEEN an class="hi2">aan>uthored (crean class="hi2">aan>ted).

This mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t in terms of hean class="hi2">aan>ven's rean class="hi2">aan>lity, we an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>lly SECONDan class="hi2">Aan>RY crean class="hi2">aan>tions, an class="hi2">aan>nd thus co-crean class="hi2">aan>tors. We did not come first. We did not crean class="hi2">aan>te ourselves. We did not han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ny san class="hi2">aan>y in who or whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re. It is entirely up to God to crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd sustan class="hi2">aan>in us. You han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> REan class="hi2">Aan>L Pan class="hi2">Aan>RENT!
"God crean class="hi2">aan>ted His Sons by extending His Thought an class="hi2">aan>nd retan class="hi2">aan>ining the extensions of His Thought in His Mind."
You an class="hi2">aan>re not the priman class="hi2">aan>ry crean class="hi2">aan>tor. You an class="hi2">aan>re not "God" in this sense. You an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan> CREan class="hi2">Aan>TION of God, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> co-crean class="hi2">aan>tor with him. You han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ther, therefore. You an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> CHILD of God. This puts you in an class="hi2">aan> position of being second-in-comman class="hi2">aan>nd, not comman class="hi2">aan>nder-in-chief. You an class="hi2">aan>re his "number two".
In the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, we an class="hi2">aan>s second-generan class="hi2">aan>tion crean class="hi2">aan>tions, rebelled an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst our crean class="hi2">aan>tor. We rebelled an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the idean class="hi2">aan> of han class="hi2">aan>ving been crean class="hi2">aan>ted by God. We wan class="hi2">aan>nted to believe we could overpower God an class="hi2">aan>nd be his equan class="hi2">aan>l, to rebel an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst him, to overthrow his kingdom, an class="hi2">aan>nd to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>uthority an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st an class="hi2">aan>s equan class="hi2">aan>l to if not grean class="hi2">aan>ter than class="hi2">aan>n his. We wan class="hi2">aan>nted to be the Can class="hi2">Aan>USE OF HIM, an class="hi2">aan>nd not his effect, thus sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ting can class="hi2">aan>use from effect (fan class="hi2">aan>ther from son) an class="hi2">aan>nd inventing the idean class="hi2">aan> of sinning an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst God.
This mean class="hi2">aan>nt throwing his an class="hi2">aan>uthorship out the window an class="hi2">aan>nd believing than class="hi2">aan>t he wan class="hi2">aan>s NOT the an class="hi2">aan>uthor of you. This mean class="hi2">aan>nt than class="hi2">aan>t you believed you were the an class="hi2">aan>uthor of yourself, in an class="hi2">aan> position to define an class="hi2">aan>nd crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd redefine yourself an class="hi2">aan>ccording to your wishes. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it wan class="hi2">aan>s this wishful thinking which man class="hi2">aan>de the ego, an class="hi2">aan> SECOND SELF designed to deny you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> SON of God an class="hi2">aan>nd to portran class="hi2">aan>y yourself an class="hi2">aan>s ruler of an class="hi2">aan> world where God doesn't exist - an class="hi2">aan>s though you han class="hi2">aan>d destroyed him an class="hi2">aan>nd his son through dean class="hi2">aan>th.
"The world wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck on God" ... "an class="hi2">Aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce where God could enter not."
"The issue of an class="hi2">aan>uthority is rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> question of an class="hi2">aan>uthorship. When an class="hi2">aan>n individuan class="hi2">aan>l han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n "an class="hi2">aan>uthority problem," it is an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS becan class="hi2">aan>use he believes he is the an class="hi2">aan>uthor of himself."
This led to the curious belief than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re convinced than class="hi2">aan>t God is not your fan class="hi2">aan>ther, than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan> child of God, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve therefore not rean class="hi2">aan>lly been crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.
"The dispute over an class="hi2">aan>uthorship han class="hi2">aan>s left such uncertan class="hi2">aan>inty in the minds of man class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t some people han class="hi2">aan>ve gone so fan class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>s to doubt whether they were ever crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll."
"being uncertan class="hi2">aan>in of their true an class="hi2">Aan>uthorship, men believe than class="hi2">aan>t their crean class="hi2">aan>tion wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>nonymous. This han class="hi2">aan>s left them in an class="hi2">aan> position where it SOUNDS mean class="hi2">aan>ningful to consider the possibility than class="hi2">aan>t they must han class="hi2">aan>ve crean class="hi2">aan>ted themselves."
You then replan class="hi2">aan>ced God with an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse God - an class="hi2">aan> God of judgement an class="hi2">aan>nd vengean class="hi2">aan>nce. an class="hi2">Aan>n ego God an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> God of sickness. an class="hi2">Aan> god unlike God. an class="hi2">Aan> god of suffering an class="hi2">aan>nd evil.
"The "an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck on God" man class="hi2">aan>de His Son think he wan class="hi2">aan>s fan class="hi2">aan>therless, an class="hi2">aan>nd out of his depression he man class="hi2">aan>de the god of depression."
So now we han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> problem with God's an class="hi2">aan>uthority. We think we an class="hi2">aan>re orphan class="hi2">aan>ns (sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted fan class="hi2">aan>therless selves). Our egos do not wan class="hi2">aan>nt God to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>uthority over us. We don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt to be second-in-comman class="hi2">aan>nd. Wd don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt to an class="hi2">aan>dmit than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">Aan>RE an class="hi2">Aan> SELF than class="hi2">aan>t is SECONDan class="hi2">Aan>RY to God, he han class="hi2">aan>ving crean class="hi2">aan>ted something other than class="hi2">aan>n himself, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t therefore we an class="hi2">aan>re NOT HIS EQUan class="hi2">Aan>L.
"This is becan class="hi2">aan>use God an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>re NOT equan class="hi2">aan>l."
"If you crean class="hi2">aan>ted GOD an class="hi2">aan>nd He crean class="hi2">aan>ted you, the KINGDOM could not increan class="hi2">aan>se through its OWN crean class="hi2">aan>tive thought. Crean class="hi2">aan>tion would therefore be limited, an class="hi2">aan>nd you would NOT be co-crean class="hi2">aan>tors WITH God. an class="hi2">Aan>s God's crean class="hi2">aan>tive Thought proceeds FROM Him TO you, so must YOUR crean class="hi2">aan>tive thoughts proceed FROM you to YOUR crean class="hi2">aan>tions."
"God's an class="hi2">aan>ccomplishments an class="hi2">aan>re NOT yours. But yours an class="hi2">aan>re LIKE His. HE crean class="hi2">aan>ted the Sonship, an class="hi2">aan>nd YOU increan class="hi2">aan>se it. You Han class="hi2">Aan>VE the power to an class="hi2">Aan>DD to the Kingdom, but NOT to an class="hi2">aan>dd to the Crean class="hi2">aan>tor OF the Kingdom."
We need to kind of bow-down an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccept than class="hi2">aan>t God is grean class="hi2">aan>ter than class="hi2">aan>n us. Than class="hi2">aan>t we do exist an class="hi2">aan>s "lesser beings" in an class="hi2">aan> sense. We an class="hi2">aan>re his effects. We an class="hi2">aan>re his crean class="hi2">aan>tions, his children. There is something an class="hi2">aan>bove an class="hi2">aan>nd beyond us which is bigger than class="hi2">aan>n us, of which we should han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>we. This requires HUMILITY to an class="hi2">aan>ccept than class="hi2">aan>t your REan class="hi2">Aan>L SELF is NOT GOD in this regan class="hi2">aan>rd, an class="hi2">aan>nd thus hean class="hi2">aan>ven contan class="hi2">aan>ins you an class="hi2">Aan>ND God.
"This an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to contran class="hi2">aan>dict an class="hi2">aan>nother stan class="hi2">aan>tement: "I an class="hi2">aan>nd my Fan class="hi2">aan>ther an class="hi2">aan>re one." It doesn't.

"You who an class="hi2">aan>re in the iman class="hi2">aan>ge of the Fan class="hi2">aan>ther need bow only to HIM, before whom I kneel with you."
We don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt to an class="hi2">aan>dmit to han class="hi2">aan>ving been crean class="hi2">aan>ted "an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst our will." We don't like the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t God wan class="hi2">aan>s the only one who could decide whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re. We wan class="hi2">aan>nt to redefine ourselves an class="hi2">aan>nd iman class="hi2">aan>gine than class="hi2">aan>t we're something we're not. an class="hi2">Aan>nd we reject God's will an class="hi2">aan>s if it mean class="hi2">aan>ns we're going to be forced to do something we don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt to do.
In order to undo the an class="hi2">aan>uthority problem, it does in fan class="hi2">aan>ct entan class="hi2">aan>il han class="hi2">aan>ving to an class="hi2">aan>ccept than class="hi2">aan>t God is your crean class="hi2">aan>tor.

God man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>ins you in his mind forever an class="hi2">aan>nd gives you eternan class="hi2">aan>l life. He shan class="hi2">aan>res his innocence an class="hi2">aan>nd his power with you. He han class="hi2">aan>nded down everything he han class="hi2">aan>d to you in your crean class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd you therefore shan class="hi2">aan>re everything with him. But to get over your power-trip you will han class="hi2">aan>ve to an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge than class="hi2">aan>t you COME FROM GOD. Than class="hi2">aan>t you did not crean class="hi2">aan>te yourself, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve no san class="hi2">aan>y in whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re.
This is where an class="hi2">aan>cceptan class="hi2">aan>nce of an class="hi2">aan>tonement comes in, becan class="hi2">aan>use now we're tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout your willingness to put an class="hi2">aan>side an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>ttempts to define yourself, to decide whan class="hi2">aan>t is true of you, or man class="hi2">aan>king it your business to be the one who san class="hi2">aan>ys whan class="hi2">aan>t is rean class="hi2">aan>l.

The secret of san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion is than class="hi2">aan>t YOU an class="hi2">Aan>RE DOING THIS TO YOURSELF.
This an class="hi2">aan>pplies in EVERY situan class="hi2">aan>tion, without exception!!!!
an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is why it is han class="hi2">aan>rd to an class="hi2">aan>ccept. I hean class="hi2">aan>r people suffering with sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd exclan class="hi2">aan>iming than class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>n’t be true than class="hi2">aan>t they han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y to hean class="hi2">aan>l it or be free of it.

"The secret of san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion is but this: Than class="hi2">aan>t YOU an class="hi2">aan>re doing this UNTO YOURSELF. No man class="hi2">aan>tter whan class="hi2">aan>t the form of the an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, this STILL is true. Whoever tan class="hi2">aan>kes the role of enemy an class="hi2">aan>nd of an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cker, STILL is this the truth. Whan class="hi2">aan>tever seems to be the can class="hi2">aan>use of an class="hi2">aan>ny pan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd suffering you feel, this is STILL true. For you would not rean class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll to figures in an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m you knew than class="hi2">aan>t YOU were drean class="hi2">aan>ming. Let them be an class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>teful an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s vicious an class="hi2">aan>s they man class="hi2">aan>y, they COULD han class="hi2">aan>ve no effect on you, unless you fan class="hi2">aan>iled to recognize it is YOUR drean class="hi2">aan>m. This single lesson lean class="hi2">aan>rned will set you free from suffering, WHan class="hi2">Aan>TEVER form it tan class="hi2">aan>kes."
So whan class="hi2">aan>tever form your suffering is tan class="hi2">aan>king, be it an class="hi2">aan> sickness or disean class="hi2">aan>se or terrible an class="hi2">aan>ffliction or something you were born with or something you didn’t see to an class="hi2">aan>sk for or something there is no cure for or the most horrible victimhood situan class="hi2">aan>tion or the grean class="hi2">aan>test unfan class="hi2">aan>irness in life... an class="hi2">Aan>LL OF THESE FORMS..... YOU an class="hi2">Aan>RE DOING THIS TO YOURSEL!!!! an class="hi2">Aan>LL OF IT.
It doesn’t man class="hi2">aan>tter if your supposed enemy is your body, or an class="hi2">aan> person, or an class="hi2">aan> sickness, or the environment, or the government, or the wean class="hi2">aan>ther, or lan class="hi2">aan>ws of physics. Whan class="hi2">aan>tever you experience, YOU an class="hi2">Aan>RE CHOOSING IT. You an class="hi2">Aan>RE doing it to yourself. an class="hi2">Aan>nd here is the POWER than class="hi2">aan>t Jesus is trying to get you to own up to, to stop plan class="hi2">aan>ying an class="hi2">aan>t being an class="hi2">aan> victim an class="hi2">aan>nd CLan class="hi2">Aan>IM your unlimited can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>bility. "There is nothing your holiness can class="hi2">aan>nnot do." Rean class="hi2">aan>dy....?
YOU an class="hi2">Aan>RE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING YOU EXPERIENCE.
YOU DO IT TO YOURSELF.
YOU CHOOSE an class="hi2">Aan>LL OF IT an class="hi2">Aan>ND YOU DID.
This is further reflected in "My self is ruler of the universe". ... rean class="hi2">aan>d it slowly an class="hi2">aan>nd tan class="hi2">aan>ke it in. This is YOUR TICKET TO FREEDOM FROM EVERY FORM OF SUFFERING:
"It is impossible than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nything should come to me unbidden by myself. Even in this world, it is I who rule my destiny. Whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens is whan class="hi2">aan>t I desire. Whan class="hi2">aan>t does not occur is whan class="hi2">aan>t I do not wan class="hi2">aan>nt to han class="hi2">aan>ppen. This must I an class="hi2">aan>ccept. For thus an class="hi2">aan>m I led pan class="hi2">aan>st this world to my crean class="hi2">aan>tions, children of my Will, in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven where my holy Self an class="hi2">aan>bides with them, an class="hi2">aan>nd Him Who han class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>ted me."
Rean class="hi2">aan>d the first sentence an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in. IT IS **IMPOSSIBLE** than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nything should come to me unbidden by myself.!!!!
You han class="hi2">aan>ve 100% an class="hi2">Aan>BSOLUTE POWER over everything. You an class="hi2">aan>re NOT BOUND BY THE WORLD. You an class="hi2">aan>re not bound by your body, or your heritan class="hi2">aan>ge, or your fan class="hi2">aan>mily, or your circumstan class="hi2">aan>nces. NOTHING Han class="hi2">Aan>S Han class="hi2">Aan>PPENED an class="hi2">Aan>Gan class="hi2">Aan>INST YOUR WILL. NOTHING. EVER!!!!!! Not since the beginning of time.
You an class="hi2">Aan>RE responsible for whan class="hi2">aan>t you choose, whan class="hi2">aan>t you experience, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens. ONLY by CLan class="hi2">Aan>IMING OWNERSHIP of responsibility for this FREEDOM, this POWER an class="hi2">aan>nd this an class="hi2">Aan>UTHORITY, can class="hi2">aan>n you set yourself free from dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll other suffering forever.
Your self is ruler of the universe. NOTHING comes to you than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve not an class="hi2">aan>sked for. You DO NOT han class="hi2">aan>ve stuff in your life than class="hi2">aan>t you didn’t put there, even if you han class="hi2">aan>d it since birth. No man class="hi2">aan>tter whan class="hi2">aan>t the conditions, IT Wan class="hi2">Aan>S YOUR CONSENTED CHOICE.
No exceptions, ever.
Only by owning this can class="hi2">aan>n you an class="hi2">aan>ccess San class="hi2">Aan>LVan class="hi2">Aan>TION. The SECRET to san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion is than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">Aan>RE doing an class="hi2">Aan>LL of this to yourself, an class="hi2">aan>nd if you would stop doing it to yourself, NOTHING ELSE han class="hi2">aan>s power over you to do it to you an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will. NOTHING. Listen to Jesus:
"It is your thoughts an class="hi2">aan>lone than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>use you pan class="hi2">aan>in. Nothing externan class="hi2">aan>l to your mind can class="hi2">aan>n hurt or injure you in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y. There is no can class="hi2">aan>use beyond yourself than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n rean class="hi2">aan>ch down an class="hi2">aan>nd bring oppression. NO-ONE BUT YOURSELF an class="hi2">Aan>FFECTS YOU. There is nothing in the world which han class="hi2">aan>s the power to man class="hi2">aan>ke you ill or san class="hi2">aan>d, or wean class="hi2">aan>k or fran class="hi2">aan>il. But it is you who han class="hi2">aan>ve the power to dominan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>ll things you see by merely recognizing whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re. "
NOTHING EXTERNan class="hi2">Aan>L TO YOUR MIND Can class="hi2">Aan>N HURT OR INJURE YOU IN an class="hi2">Aan>NY Wan class="hi2">Aan>Y.
NO ONE BUT **YOURSELF** an class="hi2">Aan>FFECTS YOU. This an class="hi2">aan>pplies to *everything in your life*.
You can class="hi2">aan>n man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> nice long list of objections, denian class="hi2">aan>ls an class="hi2">aan>nd protests if you like. Go an class="hi2">aan>hean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>nd list the things you BELIEVE an class="hi2">aan>re NOT YOUR Fan class="hi2">Aan>ULT, you didn’t an class="hi2">aan>sk for, you can class="hi2">aan>n do nothing an class="hi2">aan>bout, you han class="hi2">aan>ve no power over, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>nnot chan class="hi2">aan>nge. Then an class="hi2">aan>t the top of the pan class="hi2">aan>ge put an class="hi2">aan> title: "an class="hi2">Aan>LL OF THESE an class="hi2">Aan>RE LIES I TELL MYSELF an class="hi2">Aan>ND NONE OF THEM an class="hi2">Aan>RE TRUE."
Do you wan class="hi2">aan>nt san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion or do you wan class="hi2">aan>nt suffering. ? It’s your CHOICE. "The power of decision is my own". It is an class="hi2">aan> blan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd white decision. No exceptions. You Han class="hi2">Aan>VE POWER OVER an class="hi2">aan>ll things. So if you do not like your experience, "choose an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in". You must’ve man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan> wrong decision, if you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>t pean class="hi2">aan>ce. YOU Man class="hi2">Aan>DE THE DECISION YOURSELF, but you can class="hi2">aan>n choose otherwise.
This is why "you can class="hi2">aan>nnot die unless you choose to do so." "No one dies without their own consent." "You can class="hi2">aan>nnot be hurt unless you hurt yourself." an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> host of other supportive stan class="hi2">aan>tements than class="hi2">aan>t not man class="hi2">aan>ny people wan class="hi2">aan>nt to an class="hi2">aan>ccept.
If you choose never to suffer an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in, YOU WILL NOT SUFFER EVER an class="hi2">Aan>Gan class="hi2">Aan>IN! If you stop Man class="hi2">Aan>KING IT Han class="hi2">Aan>PPEN, it will not han class="hi2">aan>ppen. If you wholehean class="hi2">aan>rtedly CHOOSE San class="hi2">Aan>NITY, you will hean class="hi2">aan>l your body MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CULOUSLY. "There is nothing your holiness can class="hi2">aan>nnot do." You an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> frickin’ SUPERNan class="hi2">Aan>TURan class="hi2">Aan>L MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CLE WORKER!
"This is an class="hi2">aan> course in Can class="hi2">Aan>USE, not effect." You an class="hi2">aan>re to be Can class="hi2">Aan>USE ONLY. Can class="hi2">aan>use is IN YOUR MIND, nowhere else.

Holy Spirit is a powerful healer

I an class="hi2">aan>m going out on an class="hi2">aan> limb an class="hi2">aan> bit to san class="hi2">aan>y, than class="hi2">aan>t Holy Spirit is an class="hi2">aan> powerful hean class="hi2">aan>ler an class="hi2">aan>nd is the medium of miran class="hi2">aan>cles. He is quite can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of hean class="hi2">aan>ling an class="hi2">aan>ll forms of sickness on an class="hi2">aan>ll levels including the physican class="hi2">aan>l. He shan class="hi2">aan>res the power of God. There is nothing than class="hi2">aan>t your holiness can class="hi2">aan>nnot do, an class="hi2">aan>nd there is nothing than class="hi2">aan>t His holiness can class="hi2">aan>nnot do.
Holy Spirit doesn't just sit there on some throne winking an class="hi2">aan>t you while you wan class="hi2">aan>tch thoughts go pan class="hi2">aan>st or while you gently han class="hi2">aan>nd over little bits an class="hi2">aan>nd pieces of ego. He isn't idle. He isn't there to just be some an class="hi2">aan>dministran class="hi2">aan>tor or to sit an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>tch while you do an class="hi2">aan>ll the work. an class="hi2">Aan>nd he's definitely not some intellect-friendly 'metan class="hi2">aan>phor'.
Holy Spirit is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ctive an class="hi2">aan>gent of God who is perfectly can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of performing literan class="hi2">aan>l miran class="hi2">aan>cles, miran class="hi2">aan>cles which an class="hi2">aan>nyone on this plan class="hi2">aan>net would an class="hi2">aan>gree is an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles than class="hi2">aan>t include extran class="hi2">aan>ordinan class="hi2">aan>ry hean class="hi2">aan>ling of body pan class="hi2">aan>rts, the growing of new limbs an class="hi2">aan>nd organ class="hi2">aan>ns, the removan class="hi2">aan>l of toxins an class="hi2">aan>nd metan class="hi2">aan>l plan class="hi2">aan>tes an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>rtifician class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>chments, the correcting of unban class="hi2">aan>lan class="hi2">aan>nced body proportions, weight loss, removan class="hi2">aan>l of scan class="hi2">aan>rs, giving you hean class="hi2">aan>ring than class="hi2">aan>t you never han class="hi2">aan>d since birth, providing you with an class="hi2">aan>n entirely new set of internan class="hi2">aan>l organ class="hi2">aan>ns... I mean class="hi2">aan>n.. there is NOTHING Holy Spirit can class="hi2">aan>nnot do.
Ok, this is an class="hi2">aan> bit ran class="hi2">aan>dican class="hi2">aan>l. This is not your ordinan class="hi2">aan>ry an class="hi2">Aan> course in wimpy miran class="hi2">aan>cles. This is not "Oh an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is just an class="hi2">aan> chan class="hi2">aan>nge in perception" or "an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is looking an class="hi2">aan>t things in an class="hi2">aan> different wan class="hi2">aan>y". Fuck than class="hi2">aan>t.
This is an class="hi2">aan> course in MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CLES, folks. It rean class="hi2">aan>lly is whan class="hi2">aan>t it san class="hi2">aan>ys on the can class="hi2">aan>n - lean class="hi2">aan>rning how to perform rean class="hi2">aan>l, powerful miran class="hi2">aan>cles. Not some wan class="hi2">aan>tered-down nice san class="hi2">aan>fe little mind-tran class="hi2">aan>ining exercise progran class="hi2">aan>m to listen to on your hean class="hi2">aan>dphones. We an class="hi2">aan>re tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout the Holy Spirit wielding the POWER OF GOD to perform an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely an class="hi2">aan>ny correction to an class="hi2">Aan>NY consequences whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>y han class="hi2">aan>ve stemmed from your belief in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, sin, guilt or fean class="hi2">aan>r.
The ONLY thing than class="hi2">aan>t is 'stopping Him' for enan class="hi2">aan>cting this power is YOU. Your willingness.
"Holy Spirit will correct an class="hi2">aan>ll of the consequences of your wrong decision if you will let Him." - an class="hi2">Aan>CIM
an class="hi2">Aan>LL of the consequences. Not just little mentan class="hi2">aan>l thoughts an class="hi2">aan>nd psychologican class="hi2">aan>l fan class="hi2">aan>ux-pan class="hi2">aan>s.
Ok.. sounding an class="hi2">aan> bit evan class="hi2">aan>ngelican class="hi2">aan>l or something?
Well... the an class="hi2">Aan>CIM community is ran class="hi2">aan>ther span class="hi2">aan>rse an class="hi2">aan>nd doesn't han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> whole lot of lean class="hi2">aan>dership an class="hi2">aan>nd doesn't an class="hi2">aan>lso han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> whole lot of experience in the 'supernan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l' an class="hi2">aan>spects of the Course. Most people wan class="hi2">aan>nt to sweep it under the can class="hi2">aan>rpet. I han class="hi2">aan>ve suspected things an class="hi2">aan>bout it for an class="hi2">aan> long time but felt an class="hi2">aan>wkwan class="hi2">aan>rd san class="hi2">aan>ying so becan class="hi2">aan>use it seemed like I wan class="hi2">aan>s just sticking my neck out an class="hi2">aan>nd nobody else seemed to an class="hi2">aan>gree.
Well. You go wan class="hi2">aan>tch some videos somewhere of these supernan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l churches etc where certan class="hi2">aan>in bran class="hi2">aan>nches of Christian class="hi2">aan>ns han class="hi2">aan>ve, over the centuries, come to lean class="hi2">aan>rn not only how to an class="hi2">aan>ccess Holy Spirit's power but how to wield it in such wan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>s to perform literan class="hi2">aan>lly 'rean class="hi2">aan>l miran class="hi2">aan>cles'. Their theology might be riddled with errors but they an class="hi2">aan>re STRONG in their an class="hi2">aan>pplican class="hi2">aan>tion of Holy Spirit to rean class="hi2">aan>lly hean class="hi2">aan>l serious problems.
People getting out of wheelchan class="hi2">aan>irs. People being cured of can class="hi2">aan>ncer. People han class="hi2">aan>ving completely new organ class="hi2">aan>ns grown in plan class="hi2">aan>ce of disean class="hi2">aan>sed ones. The complete removan class="hi2">aan>l of blindness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>fness. Sure some of it is fan class="hi2">aan>ked, but in man class="hi2">aan>ny can class="hi2">aan>ses it is very genuine. These an class="hi2">aan>re the kinds of things than class="hi2">aan>t the disciples of Jesus did when they went an class="hi2">aan>bout their Fan class="hi2">aan>ther's business. These an class="hi2">aan>re the kinds of things Jesus Himself performed, WITH Holy Spirit, to ran class="hi2">aan>ise the dean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>nd chan class="hi2">aan>nge wan class="hi2">aan>ter to wine an class="hi2">aan>nd feed the 5 thousan class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>nd cure the blind an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll the rest of it. THE San class="hi2">Aan>ME HOLY SPIRIT IS IN YOU, wan class="hi2">aan>iting for you to to LET HIM TEan class="hi2">Aan>CH YOU TO HEan class="hi2">Aan>L. He's not some intellectuan class="hi2">aan>l substitute version of Holy Spirit. He is the power of God!
"I will hean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>s I let Him tean class="hi2">aan>ch me to Hean class="hi2">aan>l" -- doesn't just mean class="hi2">aan>n, oh, I'll sort of han class="hi2">aan>ve some nice comfortan class="hi2">aan>ble tidying up of my insides. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns, Holy Spirit can class="hi2">aan>n HEan class="hi2">Aan>L an class="hi2">Aan>NYTHING an class="hi2">aan>nd He will tean class="hi2">aan>ch you how to do so with Him, "an class="hi2">Aan>S I LET HIM". There is no limit to whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of.
How will you overlook your brothers sins an class="hi2">aan>nd your own an class="hi2">aan>nd demonstran class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t His an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>d no effect on you, literan class="hi2">aan>lly, physican class="hi2">aan>lly, if you do not han class="hi2">aan>ve the power of Holy Spirit to reverse an class="hi2">aan>ll physican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ilments an class="hi2">aan>nd cure an class="hi2">aan>ll disean class="hi2">aan>ses an class="hi2">aan>nd evidence of an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck? an class="hi2">Aan>re you going to do than class="hi2">aan>t on your own with your little ego self? Nope. But with Holy Spirit, you can class="hi2">aan>n become an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely invulneran class="hi2">aan>ble.
Yan class="hi2">aan>h I know.... sounds fan class="hi2">aan>r fetched. Sounds "out there". Too ran class="hi2">aan>dican class="hi2">aan>l. This is whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles wan class="hi2">aan>nts for us. Do you think Jesus only gan class="hi2">aan>ve us an class="hi2">aan> nice wan class="hi2">aan>tered down Course than class="hi2">aan>t doesn't han class="hi2">aan>ve the rean class="hi2">aan>l 'mean class="hi2">aan>ty' stuff in it? No. Jesus wan class="hi2">aan>nts us to do whan class="hi2">aan>t He han class="hi2">aan>s done an class="hi2">aan>nd more. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns, pretty big fricking powerful miran class="hi2">aan>cles.

The world is always a disappointment

"You do not rean class="hi2">aan>lly wan class="hi2">aan>nt the world you see, for it han class="hi2">aan>s disan class="hi2">aan>ppointed you since time began class="hi2">aan>n."
Let me first just san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t I don't intend for this to be an class="hi2">aan> "negan class="hi2">aan>tive" post. Nor is it being pessimistic. But it's going to point out the inherent negan class="hi2">aan>tivity of the world. Not to try to man class="hi2">aan>ke it rean class="hi2">aan>l or be dran class="hi2">aan>wn into despan class="hi2">aan>ir over it, but to just recognize it for whan class="hi2">aan>t it is. an class="hi2">Aan>nd there is no need to rean class="hi2">aan>ct to it with an class="hi2">aan>ssertions of "han class="hi2">aan>ppier interpretan class="hi2">aan>tions."
There is an class="hi2">aan> tremendous need for us to stop believing than class="hi2">aan>t the world is something we Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT.

We an class="hi2">aan>re confused an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>ught up in the world becan class="hi2">aan>use we keep believing than class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>n offer us san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion, something of van class="hi2">aan>lue, something benefician class="hi2">aan>l, something we wan class="hi2">aan>nt. an class="hi2">Aan>nd before you stan class="hi2">aan>rt drean class="hi2">aan>ming up denian class="hi2">aan>ls vian class="hi2">aan> the repurposing of the body an class="hi2">aan>nd world, let just just clan class="hi2">aan>rify than class="hi2">aan>t the purpose of the world does not chan class="hi2">aan>nge whan class="hi2">aan>t it IS.
"The world is an class="hi2">aan> picture of the crucifixion of God's Son."
Our problem is than class="hi2">aan>t we do believe the world han class="hi2">aan>s something to offer.

Jesus is not being negan class="hi2">aan>tive when he describes the world like this. The world IS like this, isn't it?

"an class="hi2">Aan>re you not wean class="hi2">aan>ry of imprisonment? God did not choose this sorry pan class="hi2">aan>th for you."

Overcoming a pain in the hand

If there is an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>in in my han class="hi2">aan>nd, an class="hi2">aan>nd if I believe there is an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>in in my han class="hi2">aan>nd, I will begin to experience rean class="hi2">aan>ctions an class="hi2">aan>bout the pan class="hi2">aan>in.
This is simply becan class="hi2">aan>use I see there being some kind of can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity coming from the pan class="hi2">aan>in. I think it han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> power over me. I see it an class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppening to me. I seem to be experiencing it an class="hi2">aan>s though it han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppened without me an class="hi2">aan>sking for it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so it seems unfan class="hi2">aan>ir, man class="hi2">aan>licious, unwan class="hi2">aan>nted, unwelcome, an class="hi2">aan>s though these sentiments an class="hi2">aan>re somehow justified expressions of me being holier or more innocent than class="hi2">aan>n this.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd if this pan class="hi2">aan>in in the han class="hi2">aan>nd continues or increan class="hi2">aan>ses, then I will likely increan class="hi2">aan>se in my perception of victim hood, an class="hi2">aan>nd simply by the reversan class="hi2">aan>l of can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect, seeing can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>s outside of myself, I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>ctively crean class="hi2">aan>ting responsive conditions inside of myself which show up an class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>ctions, han class="hi2">aan>ving threan class="hi2">aan>tened my own self with my own mistan class="hi2">aan>ken perception of this pan class="hi2">aan>in.

These perceptions of the need for an class="hi2">aan> counter mean class="hi2">aan>sure, an class="hi2">aan> retan class="hi2">aan>lian class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>ction of an class="hi2">aan>ny justified kind, an class="hi2">aan> fean class="hi2">aan>r, or an class="hi2">aan>ny sense of tan class="hi2">aan>king this seriously or trean class="hi2">aan>ting it an class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l, simply shows the extent of my mistan class="hi2">aan>kedness an class="hi2">aan>nd the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">Aan>CTUan class="hi2">Aan>LLY doing is CREan class="hi2">Aan>TING THIS.

an class="hi2">Aan>nd the more rean class="hi2">aan>l of an class="hi2">aan> problem it seems to become, the more certan class="hi2">aan>in I will be than class="hi2">aan>t I rean class="hi2">aan>lly need to get something done an class="hi2">aan>bout this becan class="hi2">aan>use it's very very serious indeed. an class="hi2">Aan>nd yet in perceiving it, describing it, envisioning it, interan class="hi2">aan>cting with it an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>king it be serious an class="hi2">aan>s such - believing in its an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nce - I an class="hi2">aan>m merely choosing to man class="hi2">aan>nifest it, to give energy to it, to feed it.
The rean class="hi2">aan>son than class="hi2">aan>t we do this is becan class="hi2">aan>use when we an class="hi2">aan>re using the mind incorrectly an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re entering into illusions, fan class="hi2">aan>lse perceptions an class="hi2">aan>nd errors, we stan class="hi2">aan>rt to experience the opposite of whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to an class="hi2">aan>chieve. We think than class="hi2">aan>t we do not wan class="hi2">aan>nt pan class="hi2">aan>in in the han class="hi2">aan>nd, but this mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t we will put it there. We think the pan class="hi2">aan>in in the han class="hi2">aan>nd should not be han class="hi2">aan>ppening, an class="hi2">aan>nd such intensify its han class="hi2">aan>ppening. We think than class="hi2">aan>t it is man class="hi2">aan>king us very an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s such we literan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>using it to become more monstrous.
We do not rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>s soon an class="hi2">aan>s we han class="hi2">aan>ve stepped an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from rean class="hi2">aan>l truth an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve entered into mistan class="hi2">aan>ken truth, we've lost our mind an class="hi2">aan>nd our wan class="hi2">aan>y, han class="hi2">aan>ve become deceived, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re now operan class="hi2">aan>ting our mentan class="hi2">aan>l powers 'inversed' or ban class="hi2">aan>ck to front.
The ego is an class="hi2">aan>n entire thought system ban class="hi2">aan>sed on this ban class="hi2">aan>ck-to-front inversion of truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd when we an class="hi2">aan>re in this mind, we quite literan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>sk for whan class="hi2">aan>t we do not wan class="hi2">aan>nt, an class="hi2">aan>ttran class="hi2">aan>ct whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re trying to get an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from, try to fix whan class="hi2">aan>t is not even an class="hi2">aan> problem, an class="hi2">aan>nd generan class="hi2">aan>lly compound the very issues than class="hi2">aan>t we suffer from, not rean class="hi2">aan>lizing an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>long than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re inan class="hi2">aan>dvertently can class="hi2">aan>using ourselves to prolong the suffering, simply becan class="hi2">aan>use we're an class="hi2">aan>pplying ourselves through an class="hi2">aan>n inverting filter, an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>lity flip, which gives us ban class="hi2">aan>ck the exan class="hi2">aan>ct opposite of whan class="hi2">aan>t we think we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>sking for. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is simply becan class="hi2">aan>use once in the ego perception, we an class="hi2">aan>re in opposition to the rean class="hi2">aan>l truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore an class="hi2">aan>re bringing an class="hi2">aan>bout opposite effects.
Indeed the incorrect form of forgiveness correlan class="hi2">aan>tes to the ego an class="hi2">aan>ctivities an class="hi2">aan>nd behan class="hi2">aan>viors of believing than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re sincerely an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to rid the world of than class="hi2">aan>t which is wrong with it, by tan class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan> purer or more innocent stan class="hi2">aan>ndpoint, an class="hi2">aan>ll the while an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly reinforcing, man class="hi2">aan>nifesting, increan class="hi2">aan>sing an class="hi2">aan>nd generan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>dding to the conditions of sinfulness. Such forgiveness then becomes an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> correction of error, an class="hi2">aan> judgement instean class="hi2">aan>d of an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle.
True forgiveness therefore must entan class="hi2">aan>il the cessan class="hi2">aan>tion of an class="hi2">aan>ll of the an class="hi2">aan>bove egoic behan class="hi2">aan>viors, rean class="hi2">aan>ctions, self-can class="hi2">aan>used chan class="hi2">aan>os, an class="hi2">aan>nd generan class="hi2">aan>l inversion of truth an class="hi2">aan>nd opposition to it. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of these symptoms an class="hi2">aan>re expressing merely becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re using the mind ban class="hi2">aan>ckwan class="hi2">aan>rds, expressing opposition an class="hi2">aan>nd resistan class="hi2">aan>nce instean class="hi2">aan>d of unity, order an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>lth.
True forgiveness entan class="hi2">aan>ils the complete UN-doing of an class="hi2">aan>ll of these egoic thought pan class="hi2">aan>tterns, an class="hi2">aan>ttitudes than class="hi2">aan>t reinforce the rean class="hi2">aan>lity of the monster, rean class="hi2">aan>ctions to it founded in fean class="hi2">aan>r which rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re crean class="hi2">aan>ted by your own self an class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rt of your psychologican class="hi2">aan>l reversan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd belief in threan class="hi2">aan>t, an class="hi2">aan>nd the cessan class="hi2">aan>tion of "man class="hi2">aan>king rean class="hi2">aan>l" this problem.

We need to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to forget this world. an class="hi2">Aan>s Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys, forget this world an class="hi2">aan>nd come with wholly empty han class="hi2">aan>nds unto your God.

If you an class="hi2">aan>re not being an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely immortan class="hi2">aan>l, then you an class="hi2">aan>re trying to be an class="hi2">aan> victim. Victims an class="hi2">aan>re not just those who seem to be overtly an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked by an class="hi2">aan>nother.

There is an class="hi2">aan> wide ran class="hi2">aan>nge of victimhood, or whan class="hi2">aan>t you might can class="hi2">aan>ll "victim consciousness", from mild to extreme.

What is a block to awareness?

It is an class="hi2">aan>ny form of DENIan class="hi2">Aan>L, which an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly PREVENTS you from being consciously an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of something than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s been repressed.
Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t while the block reman class="hi2">aan>ins, it is not merely an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of you han class="hi2">aan>ving to dean class="hi2">aan>l with "whan class="hi2">aan>t you believe" consciously, it's an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>bout how you an class="hi2">aan>re USING this belief in order to HIDE something else than class="hi2">aan>t is OUTSIDE of your conscious an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness. Something than class="hi2">aan>t you DO NOT BELIEVE IS THERE.
You implemented the block by covering it over with something. This man class="hi2">aan>de the thing UNCONSCIOUS to you. Therefore you do not think it exists. You then think than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of FULL an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RENESS, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t if you do not SEE or an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of something in you, it does NOT EXIST. But this is not true.
The block to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness han class="hi2">aan>s Man class="hi2">Aan>DE the problem unconscious, outside of your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, an class="hi2">aan>nd so you do NOT see it an class="hi2">aan>nd do not therefore FIND it when you look an class="hi2">aan>round you. Thus you think it is not there.
This is why buried undernean class="hi2">aan>th DENIan class="hi2">Aan>L, there is stuff like unconscious guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd unconscious sin, lurking in the depths of dan class="hi2">aan>rkness or unan class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, blocked from sight on purpose, so than class="hi2">aan>t you will KEEP IT an class="hi2">aan>nd not undo it.
Literan class="hi2">aan>lly, "out of sight, out of mind." or "Swept under the can class="hi2">aan>rpet".
This is why fixing blocks to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness is NOT just the tan class="hi2">aan>king ban class="hi2">aan>ck of projections. Projections an class="hi2">aan>re just displan class="hi2">aan>cements of man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l, usuan class="hi2">aan>lly coming FROM the unconscious content, but experienced consciously an class="hi2">aan>s externan class="hi2">aan>l or sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from you.

A forgiveness analogy - the boxing ring

Two fighters an class="hi2">aan>re in the boxing ring. They move an class="hi2">aan>round an class="hi2">aan>nd jan class="hi2">aan>b an class="hi2">aan>t ean class="hi2">aan>ch other. an class="hi2">Aan>s they become closer, they fight more. They punch an class="hi2">aan>nd hurt ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, trying to defean class="hi2">aan>t the other. There is no love here. It is an class="hi2">aan>nger an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ggression an class="hi2">aan>nd forcefulness gone wild. They seek revenge for whan class="hi2">aan>t they see the other an class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ving done to them.
This is representan class="hi2">aan>tive of an class="hi2">aan>ll ego confrontan class="hi2">aan>tions, in which one person is trying to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nother, to justify the an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, to try to "win", an class="hi2">aan>nd to hurt an class="hi2">aan>nd destroy the other in order to an class="hi2">aan>chieve some kind of prize.
Now, the round ends an class="hi2">aan>nd the boxers an class="hi2">aan>re required to go to their corners. Notice whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens. The fighting stops. There is temporan class="hi2">aan>ry pean class="hi2">aan>ce. There is relan class="hi2">aan>xan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd relief.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>lso han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppened, is "distan class="hi2">aan>nce" han class="hi2">aan>s been put between the two. They han class="hi2">aan>ve stopped lurching an class="hi2">aan>t ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, they an class="hi2">aan>re no longer trying to inflict pan class="hi2">aan>in on ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve recoiled into themselves.
This is symbolic of forgiveness. In forgiveness, whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to do is look an class="hi2">aan>t the horizontan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect relan class="hi2">aan>tionship in which you an class="hi2">aan>re believing someone else did this to you, you plan class="hi2">aan>n to do than class="hi2">aan>t to them, etc... you need to cut an class="hi2">aan>ll of than class="hi2">aan>t out an class="hi2">aan>nd essentian class="hi2">aan>lly "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te" the two fighters.
You do this by exan class="hi2">aan>mining how you believe than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>used the other person, an class="hi2">aan>nd how you believe they they can class="hi2">aan>used you, an class="hi2">aan>nd you STOP believing than class="hi2">aan>t. This collan class="hi2">aan>pses the horizontan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity.
So.... than class="hi2">aan>t person did not hit me. Than class="hi2">aan>t person did not an class="hi2">aan>ffect me. I an class="hi2">aan>m not can class="hi2">aan>used by them. They han class="hi2">aan>ve done nothing to me. I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan>t the effect of than class="hi2">aan>t person. They han class="hi2">aan>ve no power over me. I an class="hi2">aan>m responsible for everything I an class="hi2">aan>m experiencing. I must han class="hi2">aan>ve done this to myself.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd.... I han class="hi2">aan>ve not done an class="hi2">aan>nything to than class="hi2">aan>t person. I did not an class="hi2">aan>ffect them. I did not can class="hi2">aan>use them. I han class="hi2">aan>ve not done an class="hi2">aan>nything to them. I han class="hi2">aan>ve no power over them. They an class="hi2">aan>re responsible for whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re experiencing. They must han class="hi2">aan>ve done this to themselves.
This is prying an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">Aan>RTIFICIan class="hi2">Aan>L Can class="hi2">Aan>USan class="hi2">Aan>LITY which the ego han class="hi2">aan>s tried to estan class="hi2">aan>blish between the two of you. You an class="hi2">aan>re withdran class="hi2">aan>wing an class="hi2">aan>ll blan class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>nd projection from them, an class="hi2">aan>nd recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t their blan class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>nd projection onto you is nothing to do with you. This disman class="hi2">aan>ntles the entire ego thought system of believing than class="hi2">aan>t someone else is the can class="hi2">aan>use of you, or an class="hi2">aan>ffecting you, or than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve been an class="hi2">aan>ffected in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y.
This brean class="hi2">aan>ks an class="hi2">aan>nd reverses the ego's use of can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect. There is no can class="hi2">aan>use outside of you. You an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>t the effect of an class="hi2">aan>nything outside of you. You an class="hi2">aan>re returning to your "corner" an class="hi2">aan>nd disconnecting from the other person an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re cean class="hi2">aan>sing to try to man class="hi2">aan>ke them responsible for your experience.
So be like the fighters in their corners. Ban class="hi2">aan>ck off. Tan class="hi2">aan>ke ban class="hi2">aan>ck your projections. Stop trying to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck others. Stop believing they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking you. The ego han class="hi2">aan>s no defense an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst this becan class="hi2">aan>use it literan class="hi2">aan>lly lowers defenses an class="hi2">aan>nd exposes you, which pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>doxican class="hi2">aan>lly man class="hi2">aan>kes you invulneran class="hi2">aan>ble.

A forgiveness prayer for the sick and dying

If an class="hi2">aan> person is sick, God is an class="hi2">aan> murderer.
If the sickness exists, if it han class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>lity, it han class="hi2">aan>s been crean class="hi2">aan>ted, then it must han class="hi2">aan>ve been crean class="hi2">aan>ted by God.
Only whan class="hi2">aan>t God crean class="hi2">aan>tes is rean class="hi2">aan>l, or exists, or han class="hi2">aan>s been crean class="hi2">aan>ted.
There is nothing than class="hi2">aan>t exists other than class="hi2">aan>n whan class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>ted.
There is no rean class="hi2">aan>lity other than class="hi2">aan>n whan class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God.
Only whan class="hi2">aan>t God wills rean class="hi2">aan>lly exists or han class="hi2">aan>ppens.
If an class="hi2">aan> person is sick, God must han class="hi2">aan>ve willed it to han class="hi2">aan>ppen.
If an class="hi2">aan> person is sick, God must han class="hi2">aan>ve crean class="hi2">aan>ted the sickness.
If an class="hi2">aan> person is sick, God han class="hi2">aan>s produces an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness, han class="hi2">aan>s given it to the person, an class="hi2">aan>nd is man class="hi2">aan>king them sick.
But if God were to han class="hi2">aan>ve to crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness, then God han class="hi2">aan>s given sickness to the person on purpose, by his will.
If God wills than class="hi2">aan>t people be sick, then God is an class="hi2">aan> vicious murderous ban class="hi2">aan>stan class="hi2">aan>rd.
Only an class="hi2">aan> cruel, unloving an class="hi2">aan>nd unkind God could give an class="hi2">aan> sickness to someone. To man class="hi2">aan>ke them sick on purpose, to guan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ntee their suffering.
Such an class="hi2">aan> God would han class="hi2">aan>ve to be sick himself, han class="hi2">aan>teful, vengeful, murderous, torturous, evil, twisted, man class="hi2">aan>licious an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cker.
God himself must han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked the person cruelly an class="hi2">aan>nd inflicted an class="hi2">aan> curse of hell upon them, if they an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>lly sick.
So the fan class="hi2">aan>ct is, if than class="hi2">aan>t sickness is rean class="hi2">aan>l, if it han class="hi2">aan>s been crean class="hi2">aan>ted, if it is God’s will, an class="hi2">aan>nd if it rean class="hi2">aan>lly exists, then God is an class="hi2">aan> cruel vicious han class="hi2">aan>teful crean class="hi2">aan>tor. an class="hi2">Aan> condemner an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> killer.
The situan class="hi2">aan>tion then is, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to decide, whether or not God is like this. Whether God could crean class="hi2">aan>te rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd give it to people.
Is God the kind of God than class="hi2">aan>t could crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd will an class="hi2">aan>nd curse someone with suffering?
Does God wan class="hi2">aan>nt them dean class="hi2">aan>d?
Is God punishing them?
Is God rean class="hi2">aan>lly cruel, vicious, han class="hi2">aan>teful, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cker?
Han class="hi2">aan>s got personan class="hi2">aan>lly inflicted suffering on someone an class="hi2">aan>nd given them an class="hi2">aan> sickness than class="hi2">aan>t he believes they deserve?
If God han class="hi2">aan>sn’t, an class="hi2">aan>nd if God is loving, an class="hi2">aan>nd if God is not an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cker, an class="hi2">aan>nd if God does not will than class="hi2">aan>t someone han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> sickness, then God is NOT the can class="hi2">aan>use of the sickness.
If God did not can class="hi2">aan>use the sickness, then the sickness han class="hi2">aan>s not been crean class="hi2">aan>ted.
If it is not crean class="hi2">aan>ted, it is not an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God’s crean class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing but God’s crean class="hi2">aan>tions exist.
If the sickness is not crean class="hi2">aan>ted by God, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot exist. Nor can class="hi2">aan>n it can class="hi2">aan>use or crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nything.
If the sickness is not an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God’s will, then it han class="hi2">aan>s not been willed an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.
If the sickness is not given to the person by God, the person han class="hi2">aan>s not inherited it from God, an class="hi2">aan>nd they do not han class="hi2">aan>ve it. No-one han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>nything other than class="hi2">aan>n whan class="hi2">aan>t they han class="hi2">aan>ve inherited from God.
If the sickness does not shan class="hi2">aan>re God’s rean class="hi2">aan>lity, then the sickness does not han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ny rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
If the sickness han class="hi2">aan>s no rean class="hi2">aan>lity, it does not rean class="hi2">aan>lly exist an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. It can class="hi2">aan>nnot be there, it han class="hi2">aan>s no life, it han class="hi2">aan>s no will, it han class="hi2">aan>s no power.
Either, God is loving an class="hi2">aan>nd does not will than class="hi2">aan>t there be sickness, or God is han class="hi2">aan>teful an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s can class="hi2">aan>used an class="hi2">aan>ll the sickness everywhere.
But if God is loving, then not only han class="hi2">aan>s God not crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>ny sickness, God an class="hi2">aan>ctively WILLS than class="hi2">aan>t you NOT be sick.
“God does not will than class="hi2">aan>t you suffer.”
“God’s will for you is perfect han class="hi2">aan>ppiness.”
an class="hi2">Aan> loving God wills than class="hi2">aan>t you be hean class="hi2">aan>led, an class="hi2">aan>nd whole, an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>lthy, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ppy.
an class="hi2">Aan> loving God wan class="hi2">aan>nts you to han class="hi2">aan>ve no sickness an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.
an class="hi2">Aan> loving God would tan class="hi2">aan>ke your sickness an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y in an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>rtbean class="hi2">aan>t, knowing it is not there.
an class="hi2">Aan> loving God can class="hi2">aan>n only love you, sustan class="hi2">aan>in you, crean class="hi2">aan>te you to live forever, an class="hi2">aan>nd never an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck you.
In fan class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan> loving God can class="hi2">aan>n only protect you, keep you san class="hi2">aan>fe, man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>in your perfection, an class="hi2">aan>nd give you immortan class="hi2">aan>lity.
If God is loving, you can class="hi2">aan>nnot be sick.
If God is loving, than class="hi2">aan>t sickness can class="hi2">aan>nnot exist, an class="hi2">aan>nd must be an class="hi2">aan> lie.
“God did not crean class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t sickness, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore it does not exist.”
Whan class="hi2">aan>tever than class="hi2">aan>t sickness an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to be, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot be an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness.

Than class="hi2">aan>t sickness han class="hi2">aan>s not been crean class="hi2">aan>ted.
Than class="hi2">aan>t sickness han class="hi2">aan>s not been can class="hi2">aan>used.
Than class="hi2">aan>t sickness is not there.
There is no sickness.
There never wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> sickness.
Than class="hi2">aan>t person wan class="hi2">aan>s never sick. They never can class="hi2">aan>n be sick. an class="hi2">Aan>nd they never will be sick.
The sickness must be an class="hi2">aan> lie, it must be fan class="hi2">aan>lse, an class="hi2">aan>nd it can class="hi2">aan>nnot be rean class="hi2">aan>l.
The sickness is not true.
The sickness must not be an class="hi2">aan>nything. The sickness is nothing.
Either the sickness is rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd exists an class="hi2">aan>nd is the will of God, or there is no sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd the person is not sick an class="hi2">aan>nd God wills their immortan class="hi2">aan>lity.
Than class="hi2">aan>t person is not sick now an class="hi2">aan>nd never wan class="hi2">aan>s.
Whan class="hi2">aan>tever the sickness an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to be, it is not an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of than class="hi2">aan>t person, or an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">aan>nything rean class="hi2">aan>l.
The sickness is an class="hi2">aan> gone.
There is no rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd there never will be, otherwise God would han class="hi2">aan>ve to be sick an class="hi2">aan>nd shan class="hi2">aan>re his sickness.
God is not sick.
Therefore, than class="hi2">aan>t person can class="hi2">aan>nnot be sick.
Than class="hi2">aan>t sickness is not there. There is no sickness. There is no dean class="hi2">aan>th.
Than class="hi2">aan>t person must be whole, they must still be an class="hi2">aan>s God crean class="hi2">aan>ted them, they can class="hi2">aan>nnot suffer, an class="hi2">aan>nd they can class="hi2">aan>nnot ever be sick. Otherwise God would be dean class="hi2">aan>th.
There never wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness.
God never crean class="hi2">aan>ted rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness.
Rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness does not exist.
You an class="hi2">aan>re not sick. I an class="hi2">aan>m not sick. God is not sick.
God does not will than class="hi2">aan>t you be sick.
God wills than class="hi2">aan>t you be hean class="hi2">aan>led an class="hi2">aan>nd whole an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>lthy.
Sickness is impossible.
It is impossible for you to be sick or to die.
God wills than class="hi2">aan>t you live forever.
God han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy willed than class="hi2">aan>t you live forever.
God’s will can class="hi2">aan>nnot be undone. God’s will is done an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy. So you must be hean class="hi2">aan>led an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy.

Let's see whan class="hi2">aan>t Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>bout this:
"The world stan class="hi2">aan>nds like an class="hi2">aan> block before Christ's fan class="hi2">aan>ce.

Jesus an class="hi2">aan>lso goes on to refer to the seemingly solid world an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> block.
"Sin is an class="hi2">aan> block, set like an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>vy gan class="hi2">aan>te, locked an class="hi2">aan>nd without an class="hi2">aan> key, an class="hi2">aan>cross the roan class="hi2">aan>d to pean class="hi2">aan>ce.

Notice how the body's eyes an class="hi2">aan>re looking upon this "block of sin" an class="hi2">aan>s though it is SOLID GRan class="hi2">Aan>NITE. Thick an class="hi2">aan>nd solid seeming. Physican class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>tter. This is "the veil". It is an class="hi2">aan> BLOCK to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of Christ. an class="hi2">Aan> PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>L Wan class="hi2">Aan>LL, man class="hi2">aan>de of thought in your mind.
He an class="hi2">aan>lso notan class="hi2">aan>bly tells you than class="hi2">aan>t REan class="hi2">Aan>SON is an class="hi2">aan>ble to SEE SENSE by OVERLOOKING this block. Recognizing the block an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n "error". Which mean class="hi2">aan>ns physican class="hi2">aan>l objects an class="hi2">aan>re ERRORS. They an class="hi2">aan>re the FORM of error, the van class="hi2">aan>rious forms than class="hi2">aan>t error (the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion idean class="hi2">aan>, belief in sin) han class="hi2">aan>s tan class="hi2">aan>ken. an class="hi2">Aan>nd here we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lso clued in than class="hi2">aan>t physican class="hi2">aan>l forms an class="hi2">aan>re "forms of error."
"ONLY the form of error an class="hi2">aan>ttran class="hi2">aan>cts the ego. Mean class="hi2">aan>ning it does not recognize, an class="hi2">aan>nd does not know if it is there or not. Everything than class="hi2">aan>t the body's eyes can class="hi2">aan>n see is an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke, an class="hi2">aan>n error in perception, an class="hi2">aan> distorted fran class="hi2">aan>gment of the whole, without the mean class="hi2">aan>ning than class="hi2">aan>t the whole would give. an class="hi2">Aan>nd yet mistan class="hi2">aan>kes, regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of their form, can class="hi2">aan>n be corrected. Sin is but error in an class="hi2">aan> specian class="hi2">aan>l form the ego veneran class="hi2">aan>tes. It would preserve an class="hi2">aan>ll errors, an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ke them sins. For here is its own stan class="hi2">aan>bility, its hean class="hi2">aan>vy an class="hi2">aan>nchor in the shifting world it man class="hi2">aan>de; the rock on which its church is built, an class="hi2">aan>nd where its worshippers an class="hi2">aan>re bound to bodies, an class="hi2">aan>nd believe the body's freedom is their own."
Jesus an class="hi2">aan>lso refers to solidity, in equan class="hi2">aan>tion with illusions. Ie the physican class="hi2">aan>l world which SEEMS SOLID, is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion.
"If you but recognized how little stan class="hi2">aan>nds between you an class="hi2">aan>nd your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of your union! Be not deceived by the illusions it presents of size an class="hi2">aan>nd thickness, weight, solidity, an class="hi2">aan>nd firmness of foundan class="hi2">aan>tion. Yes, to the body's eyes it looks like an class="hi2">aan>n enormous, solid body, immovan class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>s is an class="hi2">aan> mountan class="hi2">aan>in. Yet, within you, there is an class="hi2">aan> force which no illusions can class="hi2">aan>n resist. This body only seems to be immovan class="hi2">aan>ble. This force is irresistible in truth. Whan class="hi2">aan>t, then, must han class="hi2">aan>ppen when they come together? Can class="hi2">aan>n the illusion of immovan class="hi2">aan>bility be long defended for whan class="hi2">aan>t is quietly pan class="hi2">aan>ssed through an class="hi2">aan>nd gone beyond?"
So to the body's eyes, the forms of error, physican class="hi2">aan>l objects, solid man class="hi2">aan>tter, their seeming "solidity" "weight" "firmness" etc.... these things an class="hi2">aan>ll seem rean class="hi2">aan>l. an class="hi2">Aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>iling to OVERLOOK them, is an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck of forgiveness. They form "the veil", which covers up the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct, this world of SOLIDITY is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to BLOCK YOUR VISION. The physican class="hi2">aan>l world, including Ean class="hi2">aan>rth, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll the stan class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>nd gan class="hi2">aan>lan class="hi2">aan>xies, were man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce where God could enter not. ie, were man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> Wan class="hi2">Aan>LL to BLOCK YOU from God. To come between you. To man class="hi2">aan>ke it seem like you an class="hi2">aan>re not in the Kingdom.
To the body's eyes, "these eyes man class="hi2">aan>de not to see will never see" were man class="hi2">aan>de so than class="hi2">aan>t you Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT see the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ. They were designed to LOOK an class="hi2">Aan>T the outside surfan class="hi2">aan>ce of nothing, man class="hi2">aan>tter, whereby photons an class="hi2">aan>re reflected off (denied) an class="hi2">aan>nd bounce into the eyes to tell you "the world is there, it is solid, it exists." But becan class="hi2">aan>use the world BLOCKS vision, it is the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t your sight wan class="hi2">aan>s BLOCKED BY the solid man class="hi2">aan>tter, than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve not an class="hi2">Aan>CTUan class="hi2">Aan>LLY SEEN. You did not OVERLOOK the surfan class="hi2">aan>ce of the physican class="hi2">aan>l objects, an class="hi2">aan>nd so did not see the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ. "Nothing so blinding an class="hi2">aan>s perception of form."
"The body's eyes see ONLY form. They can class="hi2">aan>nnot see beyond whan class="hi2">aan>t they were Man class="hi2">Aan>DE to see. an class="hi2">Aan>nd they were man class="hi2">aan>de to look on error, an class="hi2">aan>nd not see pan class="hi2">aan>st it. Theirs is indeed an class="hi2">aan> stran class="hi2">aan>nge perception, for they can class="hi2">aan>n see only illusions, unan class="hi2">aan>ble to look beyond the gran class="hi2">aan>nite block of sin, an class="hi2">aan>nd stopping an class="hi2">aan>t the outside form of nothing. To this distorted form of vision, the outside of everything, the wan class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t stan class="hi2">aan>nds between you an class="hi2">aan>nd the truth, is wholly true."
"It is not Will for Life, but wish for dean class="hi2">aan>th, than class="hi2">aan>t is the motivan class="hi2">aan>tion for this world. Its ONLY purpose is TO PROVE GUILT REan class="hi2">Aan>L."
Here's Jesus is clean class="hi2">aan>rly stan class="hi2">aan>ting than class="hi2">aan>t the physican class="hi2">aan>l human class="hi2">aan>n body's form of sight, can class="hi2">aan>n ONLY see forms, an class="hi2">aan>nd they only look on ERROR, an class="hi2">aan>nd this error of form they look an class="hi2">aan>t is the gran class="hi2">aan>nite block of SIN. Which mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t the physican class="hi2">aan>l world is man class="hi2">aan>de of sin, an class="hi2">aan>nd the body wan class="hi2">aan>s designed to man class="hi2">aan>ke the sin seem rean class="hi2">aan>l. The body's vision STOPS an class="hi2">aan>t the SURFan class="hi2">Aan>CE of nothing (forms, objects) an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>ils to see pan class="hi2">aan>st it. This forms an class="hi2">Aan> SOLID PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>L Wan class="hi2">Aan>LL, which stan class="hi2">aan>nds between YOU an class="hi2">aan>nd THE TRUTH (hean class="hi2">aan>ven/God/Christ).
"The world of bodies is the world of sin, for only if there were an class="hi2">aan> body is sin possible. From sin comes guilt an class="hi2">aan>s surely an class="hi2">aan>s forgiveness tan class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan>ll guilt an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y. an class="hi2">Aan>nd once an class="hi2">aan>ll guilt is gone whan class="hi2">aan>t more reman class="hi2">aan>ins to keep an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted world in plan class="hi2">aan>ce?

Forgiveness proves it is impossible becan class="hi2">aan>use it sees it not. an class="hi2">Aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t you then will overlook will not be understan class="hi2">aan>ndan class="hi2">aan>ble to you, just an class="hi2">aan>s its presence once han class="hi2">aan>d been your certan class="hi2">aan>inty."
"How is this done? It is extremely simple, being ban class="hi2">aan>sed on whan class="hi2">aan>t this little kingdom rean class="hi2">aan>lly IS. The ban class="hi2">aan>rren san class="hi2">aan>nds, the dan class="hi2">aan>rkness, an class="hi2">aan>nd the lifelessness an class="hi2">aan>re seen only through the body's eyes. ITS vision IS distorted, an class="hi2">aan>nd the messan class="hi2">aan>ges IT tran class="hi2">aan>nsmits to you, who Man class="hi2">Aan>DE it to limit your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, an class="hi2">Aan>RE little an class="hi2">aan>nd limited, so fran class="hi2">aan>gmented than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re mean class="hi2">aan>ningless.

Everything these messan class="hi2">aan>ges relan class="hi2">aan>y to you is quite externan class="hi2">aan>l.

The body can class="hi2">aan>n only "see" BLOCKS, an class="hi2">aan>nd it sees them precisely BECan class="hi2">Aan>USE vision STOPPED an class="hi2">aan>t their surfan class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>iled to go beyond. Seeing with the body is thus NOT seeing an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, it is fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception. It is an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of seeing the interior surfan class="hi2">aan>ce of an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>lled-in room of hell an class="hi2">aan>nd dan class="hi2">aan>rkness, an class="hi2">aan>s if it's an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t exists. an class="hi2">Aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ilure to look through or pan class="hi2">aan>st the wan class="hi2">aan>lls (with an class="hi2">aan> kind of x-ran class="hi2">aan>y vision, christ vision), man class="hi2">aan>kes the world seem like it is SOLID an class="hi2">aan>nd REan class="hi2">Aan>L an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>LL THan class="hi2">Aan>T EXISTS. an class="hi2">Aan>nd believing this is blindness.

"The body's eyes will NEVER look on it. Yet they will SEE whan class="hi2">aan>t it dictan class="hi2">aan>tes. The body will reman class="hi2">aan>in guilt's messenger, an class="hi2">aan>nd will an class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>s it directs, an class="hi2">aan>s long an class="hi2">aan>s YOU believe than class="hi2">aan>t guilt is rean class="hi2">aan>l. For the REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY of guilt is the illusion which seems to man class="hi2">aan>ke it hean class="hi2">aan>vy an class="hi2">aan>nd opan class="hi2">aan>que, impenetran class="hi2">aan>ble, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> REan class="hi2">Aan>L foundan class="hi2">aan>tion for the ego's thought system.

So here Jesus is clean class="hi2">aan>rly san class="hi2">aan>ying, than class="hi2">aan>t there is an class="hi2">aan> light BEYOND the veil, beyond the wan class="hi2">aan>ll of flesh, beyond the gran class="hi2">aan>nite block of sin, beyond physican class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>tter. By becoming an class="hi2">aan>ble to SEE this light, you MUST use spirituan class="hi2">aan>l vision (christ vision) which is forgiving an class="hi2">aan>nd DOES NOT SEE BODIES. "Forgiveness does not look upon bodies." It looks Pan class="hi2">Aan>ST bodies, pan class="hi2">aan>st the illusion of form, pan class="hi2">aan>st error, pan class="hi2">aan>st the WORLD, TO the light. To the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ. The fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ is effectively BEHIND the world (rean class="hi2">aan>lly outside of it, becan class="hi2">aan>use we're inside an class="hi2">aan> bubble of illusions, drean class="hi2">aan>ming of exile).
So whan class="hi2">aan>t this rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>dds up to is, BLOCKS TO an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RENESS an class="hi2">aan>re not simply your an class="hi2">aan>ttitude an class="hi2">aan>bout the world. They an class="hi2">aan>re not tan class="hi2">aan>king plan class="hi2">aan>ce just "in my hean class="hi2">aan>d". There quite literan class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>s been an class="hi2">aan> PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>L Ban class="hi2">Aan>RRIER plan class="hi2">aan>ced outside you an class="hi2">aan>s the world, designed to tempt you to believe than class="hi2">aan>t THE WORLD is rean class="hi2">aan>l, so than class="hi2">aan>t you do NOT SEE rean class="hi2">aan>lity. So long an class="hi2">aan>s you use the body's eyes to see it, you will be blinded. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot look an class="hi2">Aan>T it with forgiveness to try to TURN IT INTO an class="hi2">aan> Kingdom of God. It is man class="hi2">aan>de of the denian class="hi2">aan>l of the Kingdom. The world itself han class="hi2">aan>s to be OVERLOOKED.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns, blocks to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan>re not just inside your mind in the wan class="hi2">aan>y you might think of them. The plan class="hi2">aan>net is an class="hi2">aan> block to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness. If you BELIEVE IN IT, your mind an class="hi2">aan>grees with your body's eyes an class="hi2">aan>nd you become unan class="hi2">aan>ble to see. You instean class="hi2">aan>d perceive hell. This is fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception. The world you man class="hi2">aan>de is hell, the opposite of hean class="hi2">aan>ven. "Ean class="hi2">aan>rth, hean class="hi2">aan>ven's opposite in every wan class="hi2">aan>y." But if your mind chooses NOT to believe whan class="hi2">aan>t your eyes an class="hi2">aan>re telling you is there, it becomes an class="hi2">aan>ble to OVERLOOK whan class="hi2">aan>t the body sees to see THROUGH IT, Pan class="hi2">Aan>ST IT, like an class="hi2">aan> thin veil.
You not only overlook an class="hi2">aan> block to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness "in your mind", you overlook it "out there" an class="hi2">aan>lso. By not believing in the world, you do not SEE IT. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t your mind IS Lan class="hi2">Aan>RGER THan class="hi2">Aan>N THE UNIVERSE. It must be, becan class="hi2">aan>use it CONTan class="hi2">Aan>INS plan class="hi2">aan>net Ean class="hi2">aan>rth. If size can class="hi2">aan>n be considered rean class="hi2">aan>l, your mind MUST be bigger than class="hi2">aan>n your body. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>ll bodies an class="hi2">aan>re within it, including an class="hi2">aan>ll gan class="hi2">aan>lan class="hi2">aan>xies. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you put them INSIDE your mind to BLOCK an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of where you rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re - in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. To remove the block, therefore, is ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely to REMOVE THE WORLD.
"This world you see (with the body's eyes) MUST BE DENIED, for sight of it is costing you an class="hi2">aan> different kind of vision (christ vision). YOU Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT SEE BOTH WORLDS. For ean class="hi2">aan>ch of them involves an class="hi2">aan> different kind of seeing, an class="hi2">aan>nd depends on whan class="hi2">aan>t you cherish. The sight of one is possible becan class="hi2">aan>use you han class="hi2">aan>ve DENIED THE OTHER."
"You do not rean class="hi2">aan>lly wan class="hi2">aan>nt the world you see (with the body), for it han class="hi2">aan>s disan class="hi2">aan>ppointed you since time began class="hi2">aan>n. The homes you built han class="hi2">aan>ve never sheltered you. The roan class="hi2">aan>ds you man class="hi2">aan>de han class="hi2">aan>ve led you nowhere, an class="hi2">aan>nd no city than class="hi2">aan>t you built han class="hi2">aan>s withstood the crumbling an class="hi2">aan>ssan class="hi2">aan>ult of time. Nothing you man class="hi2">aan>de but han class="hi2">aan>s the man class="hi2">aan>rk of dean class="hi2">aan>th upon it. Hold it not dean class="hi2">aan>r, for it is old an class="hi2">aan>nd tired, an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>dy to return to dust even an class="hi2">aan>s you man class="hi2">aan>de it."
"The world you see is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of an class="hi2">aan> world. God did not crean class="hi2">aan>te it, for whan class="hi2">aan>t He crean class="hi2">aan>tes must be eternan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>s Himself. Yet there is nothing in the world you see than class="hi2">aan>t will endure forever. Some things will lan class="hi2">aan>st in time an class="hi2">aan> little while longer than class="hi2">aan>n others. But the time will come when an class="hi2">aan>ll things visible will han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n end."
You must DENY than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t the body sees is rean class="hi2">aan>l. You must OVERLOOK everything it shows you. You must NOT BELIEVE the testimony of the flesh. You must IGNORE it. You must look through its lies, its errors, its illusions, be NOT deceived, an class="hi2">aan>nd look Pan class="hi2">Aan>ST THE WORLD, pan class="hi2">aan>st your brother's body, to rean class="hi2">aan>lity. This is whan class="hi2">aan>t Christ vision an class="hi2">aan>llows you to do, an class="hi2">aan>nd the development of this overlooking is the whole purpose of the workbook.
"The purpose of these exercises (workbook intro) is to tran class="hi2">aan>in the mind to an class="hi2">aan> different perception of everything in the world. The workbook is divided into two sections, the first dean class="hi2">aan>ling with the undoing of whan class="hi2">aan>t you see now, an class="hi2">aan>nd the second with the restoran class="hi2">aan>tion of sight."
"Unity an class="hi2">aan>lone is not an class="hi2">aan> thing of drean class="hi2">aan>ms. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it is this God's tean class="hi2">aan>chers an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge an class="hi2">aan>s behind the drean class="hi2">aan>m, beyond an class="hi2">aan>ll seeming an class="hi2">aan>nd yet surely theirs."
"Christ's vision han class="hi2">aan>s one lan class="hi2">aan>w. It does not look upon an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>nd mistan class="hi2">aan>ke it for the Son whom God crean class="hi2">aan>ted. It beholds an class="hi2">aan> light beyond the body; an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> beyond whan class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n be touched, an class="hi2">aan> purity undimmed by errors, pitiful mistan class="hi2">aan>kes, an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>rful thoughts of guilt from drean class="hi2">aan>ms of sin. It sees no sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it looks on everyone, on every circumstan class="hi2">aan>nce, an class="hi2">aan>ll han class="hi2">aan>ppenings an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll events, without the slightest fan class="hi2">aan>ding of the light it sees."
Look an class="hi2">aan>t than class="hi2">aan>t.
Christ vision DOES NOT look up on an class="hi2">aan> body. It does not regan class="hi2">aan>rd the body an class="hi2">aan>s "there". It looks Pan class="hi2">Aan>ST it. Than class="hi2">aan>t is forgiveness.
It beholds an class="hi2">aan> light BEYOND the body. Than class="hi2">aan>t light is the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of christ. It's rean class="hi2">aan>lity, or an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st the rean class="hi2">aan>l world.
It sees NO sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion (no forms).
It sees BEYOND an class="hi2">aan>ll han class="hi2">aan>ppenings an class="hi2">aan>nd events than class="hi2">aan>t the body seems to suggest an class="hi2">aan>re still there, while fixan class="hi2">aan>ted on the light than class="hi2">aan>t is BEYOND it.
BEYOND WHan class="hi2">Aan>T Can class="hi2">Aan>N BE TOUCHED (the physican class="hi2">aan>l).
So an class="hi2">aan>s you "remove blocks to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness", you an class="hi2">aan>re lean class="hi2">aan>rning NOT TO SEE the blocks. To see beyond them. Which mean class="hi2">aan>ns seeing beyond the WORLD, which is rean class="hi2">aan>lly in your mind an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">Aan>N Han class="hi2">Aan>LLUCINan class="hi2">Aan>TION OF an class="hi2">Aan> WORLD. To not believe in the blocks an class="hi2">aan>llows you to forgive the world, an class="hi2">aan>nd this mean class="hi2">aan>ns being an class="hi2">aan>ble to LOOK BEYOND it to rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Becan class="hi2">aan>use the world is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion, than class="hi2">aan>t you man class="hi2">aan>de up, to block your vision, so than class="hi2">aan>t you would not be an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of God.
"an class="hi2">Aan> world forgiven can class="hi2">aan>nnot lan class="hi2">aan>st. It wan class="hi2">aan>s the home of bodies. But forgiveness looks pan class="hi2">aan>st bodies. This is its holiness; this is how it hean class="hi2">aan>ls."

Have a little willingness to accept the truth

Very simply the entire sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God is an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of becoming confused an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t is true an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is fan class="hi2">aan>lse. Than class="hi2">aan>t which is rean class="hi2">aan>lly true (God's truth) han class="hi2">aan>s been an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted with an class="hi2">aan>ll the properties of whan class="hi2">aan>t is fan class="hi2">aan>lse, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t which is fan class="hi2">aan>lse (ego truth) han class="hi2">aan>s been an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted with an class="hi2">aan>ll the properties of whan class="hi2">aan>t is true. This produces an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of TOTan class="hi2">Aan>L CONFUSION. But this an class="hi2">aan>ll hinges an class="hi2">aan>round your BELIEF in whan class="hi2">aan>t is true an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is fan class="hi2">aan>lse.
Wherever you plan class="hi2">aan>ce your sense of "whan class="hi2">aan>t is true", you will an class="hi2">aan>nchor yourself to than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nd BELIEVE than class="hi2">aan>t it's completely true. You'll an class="hi2">aan>lso believe you an class="hi2">aan>re 100% san class="hi2">aan>ne to believe it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you'll defend it to the dean class="hi2">aan>th becan class="hi2">aan>use you think it is your life. Even if you're becoming identified with something very untrue an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re very mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, your BELIEF than class="hi2">aan>t it's true will blind you an class="hi2">aan>nd distort your perception.
You will SEE or regan class="hi2">aan>rd genuinely true things an class="hi2">aan>s enemies, the opposition, fan class="hi2">aan>lse, unwan class="hi2">aan>nted, an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking you, trying to stean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y your truth. an class="hi2">Aan>nd only an class="hi2">aan>nything than class="hi2">aan>t supports, resonan class="hi2">aan>tes with, seems to confirm or justifies your current truth will be seen an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ccepted, truthful, an class="hi2">aan>llowed, welcomed. So you could be right in the middle of being extremely confused, believing something totan class="hi2">aan>lly fan class="hi2">aan>lse is true an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>l, defending it with your life, trying to keep everything else from undermining it, believing you an class="hi2">aan>re TOTan class="hi2">Aan>LLY justified an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>ne, while simultan class="hi2">aan>neously being very very mistan class="hi2">aan>ken.
So wherever you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>T right now, whan class="hi2">aan>tever your belief system is, whan class="hi2">aan>tever is TRUE for you, you an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly believe you an class="hi2">aan>re FULLY in the truth right now. Doesn't man class="hi2">aan>tter how mistan class="hi2">aan>ken you an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re. Even if you believe dean class="hi2">aan>th is life an class="hi2">aan>nd hell is hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>nd the Holy Spirit is your sworn enemy, which the extreme of ego does believe, you'll think you're totan class="hi2">aan>lly totan class="hi2">aan>lly "right" to believe whan class="hi2">aan>t you do, than class="hi2">aan>t's it's rean class="hi2">aan>sonan class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>kes sense to you. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ny insinuan class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>t you might be mistan class="hi2">aan>ken will be experienced an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> threan class="hi2">aan>t, an class="hi2">aan>n enemy, an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, by some person who is obviously "wrong", an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re seen an class="hi2">aan>s someone you han class="hi2">aan>ve to defend an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst an class="hi2">aan>nd counter-an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck to keep them from infiltran class="hi2">aan>ting your san class="hi2">aan>cred truth.
Everyone does this. Every single person with an class="hi2">aan>n ego is doing this. Becan class="hi2">aan>use every such person believes something is true which isn't, is mistan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>nd confused, an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>nts to protect an class="hi2">aan>nd defend an class="hi2">aan>ll the lies than class="hi2">aan>t they think an class="hi2">aan>re not lies. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens is, if you try to tell someone something than class="hi2">aan>t isn't "their truth", it will conflict with their truth instan class="hi2">aan>ntly. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this will be experienced an class="hi2">aan>s conflict an class="hi2">aan>nd there will be an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>r than class="hi2">aan>t comes from it. Pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>rly if an class="hi2">aan> person is very strong willed or stubborn, they will resist being questioned or undermined moreso than class="hi2">aan>n others. Or in other words, there is an class="hi2">aan>n unwillingness to lean class="hi2">aan>rn, an class="hi2">aan>nd too much fan class="hi2">aan>ith plan class="hi2">aan>ced in being right/true an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy instean class="hi2">aan>d of humility or self-honesty.
Others man class="hi2">aan>y be in generan class="hi2">aan>l more open minded or more willing to listen an class="hi2">aan>nd consider an class="hi2">aan>lternan class="hi2">aan>tives which man class="hi2">aan>y well lean class="hi2">aan>d to them han class="hi2">aan>ving to question their own beliefs. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t's an class="hi2">aan> position of grean class="hi2">aan>ter self honesty an class="hi2">aan>nd willingness. It tan class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">aan> "little willingness", therefore, to be willing to open up to the possibility than class="hi2">aan>t you might be mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. Than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t you rean class="hi2">aan>lly firmly think is true, might not be. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if indeed whan class="hi2">aan>t you believe is not an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly true, but you think it is, you will man class="hi2">aan>ke no progress towan class="hi2">aan>rds God without being an class="hi2">aan> little bit willing to question just how true your beliefs an class="hi2">aan>re. His truth can class="hi2">aan>nnot become true for you, until you can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccept than class="hi2">aan>t your fan class="hi2">aan>ke truth is Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE.
This is more or less why the man class="hi2">aan>jority of people (truth defenders) do not an class="hi2">aan>gree with ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lso is why most of those who do an class="hi2">aan>gree with ean class="hi2">aan>ch other an class="hi2">aan>re either mutuan class="hi2">aan>lly san class="hi2">aan>ne or just han class="hi2">aan>ppen to shan class="hi2">aan>re the san class="hi2">aan>me delusions. This is how the ego forms "an class="hi2">aan>llegian class="hi2">aan>nces" with people who seem to oppose their truth the lean class="hi2">aan>st, forming an class="hi2">aan> circle of "friends" who support an class="hi2">aan>nd uphold their mistan class="hi2">aan>kes without questioning them. This is an class="hi2">aan>ll begun in the ego's FIRST lan class="hi2">aan>w of chan class="hi2">aan>os, which san class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t the truth is different for everyone!
Everyone believes they KNOW the truth. They Han class="hi2">Aan>VE the truth. This is an class="hi2">aan> fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>rry-over from BEING the truth prior to the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. Everyone an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ched themselves to SOME kind of truth no man class="hi2">aan>tter whether it's true or not. It's only an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of sorting out whan class="hi2">aan>t is *an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly* true in terms of God's truth, from whan class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ke truth in terms of ego, in order to proceed in the direction of an class="hi2">Aan>tonement. While we cling to lies, we an class="hi2">aan>re kept in the dan class="hi2">aan>rk an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from eternan class="hi2">aan>l life.
The thing is, you can class="hi2">aan>n present an class="hi2">aan> grean class="hi2">aan>ter truth, you can class="hi2">aan>n explan class="hi2">aan>in it, you can class="hi2">aan>n show it an class="hi2">aan>nd demonstran class="hi2">aan>te it an class="hi2">aan>s clean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>s dan class="hi2">aan>y, but if someone is not WILLING to undermine whan class="hi2">aan>t they believe is an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy true, an class="hi2">aan>nd doesn't see an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>son to an class="hi2">aan>ban class="hi2">aan>ndon their existing fan class="hi2">aan>lse beliefs, they simply will stan class="hi2">aan>y right where they an class="hi2">aan>re. Becan class="hi2">aan>use they think they an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ll the an class="hi2">aan>nswers. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of the truth. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t they're very right an class="hi2">aan>bout it, han class="hi2">aan>ving convinced themselves over an class="hi2">aan>nd over an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in WHY this truth is supposedly true. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this especian class="hi2">aan>lly becomes an class="hi2">aan> problem when very an class="hi2">aan>bstran class="hi2">aan>ct or fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>l "cornerstones" in the belief system an class="hi2">aan>re upheld, supported, an class="hi2">aan>nd reinforced, by an class="hi2">aan> whole host of beliefs than class="hi2">aan>t keep the person highly unwilling to question fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>l issues such an class="hi2">aan>s whether the body or the world an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>l, or whether you an class="hi2">aan>re supposed to die, or whan class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of.
We build grean class="hi2">aan>t defenses an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst an class="hi2">aan>dmitting to being
mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. We resist it. We in fan class="hi2">aan>ct experience "the rean class="hi2">aan>l truth" an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n opponent or enemy, come to wan class="hi2">aan>r with us an class="hi2">aan>nd destroy us, an class="hi2">aan>nd it keeps going on an class="hi2">aan>nd on an class="hi2">aan>bout this an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>s if trying to man class="hi2">aan>ke something "fan class="hi2">aan>lse" true, when you obviously know better. In other words, the rean class="hi2">aan>l truth, an class="hi2">aan>t first, is experienced an class="hi2">aan>s the very thing we DO NOT Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT. Our ego ensures we see it an class="hi2">aan>s our nemesis, come to destroy us. The idean class="hi2">aan> of oneness an class="hi2">aan>lone is enough to scan class="hi2">aan>re the pan class="hi2">aan>nts off the ego since it implies the end of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd thus the undoing of an class="hi2">Aan>LL fan class="hi2">aan>lse beliefs an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>lse identities. This is why the ego wan class="hi2">aan>nts NOTHING to do with the Holy Spirit. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is why we han class="hi2">aan>ve profound RESISTan class="hi2">Aan>NCE to an class="hi2">aan>ccepting the an class="hi2">aan>tonement.
an class="hi2">Aan>nything of the true nan class="hi2">aan>ture of God, an class="hi2">aan>nything to do with God's lan class="hi2">aan>ws, an class="hi2">aan>nything to do with the Holy Spirit, an class="hi2">aan>nything to do with brean class="hi2">aan>king the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of physics of this world, an class="hi2">aan>nything to do with performing extran class="hi2">aan>ordinan class="hi2">aan>ry supernan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l miran class="hi2">aan>cles which would proban class="hi2">aan>bly shock most people, an class="hi2">aan>nything to do with Spirit, an class="hi2">aan>nything to do with receiving input from outside of this dimension, an class="hi2">aan>nything which would prove you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan> body or than class="hi2">aan>t God did not crean class="hi2">aan>te the world, or than class="hi2">aan>t dean class="hi2">aan>th is fan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n be undone, an class="hi2">aan>nything like than class="hi2">aan>t... which would bring doubt into the mind an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t our MISTan class="hi2">Aan>KEN beliefs san class="hi2">aan>y is true, is seen an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> THREan class="hi2">Aan>T, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> dan class="hi2">aan>nger, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck. an class="hi2">Aan>nd WE DO NOT Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT IT. an class="hi2">Aan>nd seeing it an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> threan class="hi2">aan>t we put up defenses an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst it, which by the wan class="hi2">aan>y induces sickness.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd yet, an class="hi2">aan>ll of these things an class="hi2">aan>re truth ban class="hi2">aan>sed, an class="hi2">aan>ll of them an class="hi2">aan>re of God, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll of them an class="hi2">aan>re benevolent. So it is not than class="hi2">aan>t the truth IS an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cker, it's than class="hi2">aan>t it SEEMS like an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cker when YOU an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cker.

This is why most people DO NOT Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT the truth, they do not wan class="hi2">aan>nt miran class="hi2">aan>cles, they do not wan class="hi2">aan>nt the Holy Spirit to do an class="hi2">aan>nything. The very idean class="hi2">aan> of Him han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> power than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>uses things to han class="hi2">aan>ppen than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n witness scan class="hi2">aan>res the pan class="hi2">aan>nts off people who would much prefer to be in control of life an class="hi2">aan>nd keep an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles nice an class="hi2">aan>nd sman class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>fe an class="hi2">aan>nd toleran class="hi2">aan>ble.

So this is an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ct.... if you an class="hi2">aan>re not in God's truth, you will experience God's truth an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> sworn enemy than class="hi2">aan>t you DO NOT Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT, an class="hi2">aan>nd which you think is WRONG. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns in order to an class="hi2">aan>pproan class="hi2">aan>ch the truth an class="hi2">aan>nd genuinely wan class="hi2">aan>ke up an class="hi2">aan>nd become spirituan class="hi2">aan>l, you man class="hi2">aan>y well han class="hi2">aan>ve to encounter or an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st dean class="hi2">aan>l with, your fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception OF the truth an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore get pan class="hi2">aan>st this belief than class="hi2">aan>t true things an class="hi2">aan>re fan class="hi2">aan>lse, than class="hi2">aan>t holy things an class="hi2">aan>re han class="hi2">aan>teful, than class="hi2">aan>t life is dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t the Holy Spirit can class="hi2">aan>n't be trusted.

The Holy Spirit only wan class="hi2">aan>nts to help you an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>l you an class="hi2">aan>nd give you love an class="hi2">aan>nd support. He is not an class="hi2">aan> threan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.

WILLINGNESS is key to going home. No-one comes to the an class="hi2">Aan>tonement without it.

The body as a teaching and healing device

The body is an class="hi2">aan> symbol. It tean class="hi2">aan>ches either hean class="hi2">aan>ling an class="hi2">aan>nd life, or it tean class="hi2">aan>ches an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th.
The body symbolizes an class="hi2">aan>nd represents the an class="hi2">aan>ttitude of the MIND than class="hi2">aan>t is using the body. The body is an class="hi2">aan> SYMBOLIC MESSan class="hi2">Aan>GE.
When the mind is loving, its messan class="hi2">aan>ge is love an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ling. The body Tan class="hi2">Aan>KES ON THE FORM of this, by showing up an class="hi2">aan>s hean class="hi2">aan>led, whole, unhan class="hi2">aan>rmed, free from an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck or pan class="hi2">aan>in, devoid of an class="hi2">aan>ll suffering, functioning perfectly, flan class="hi2">aan>wless an class="hi2">aan>nd imman class="hi2">aan>culan class="hi2">aan>te, free from an class="hi2">aan>ll forms of sickness.
When the mind is not loving, its messan class="hi2">aan>ge is an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th. The body Tan class="hi2">Aan>KES ON THE FORM of this, by showing up an class="hi2">aan>s dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ged, broken, an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked, defective, man class="hi2">aan>lfunctioning, hurt, disean class="hi2">aan>sed, infectious, han class="hi2">aan>lf-dean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>nd eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly fully dean class="hi2">aan>d.

Your body, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> FORM, tan class="hi2">aan>kes on an class="hi2">aan> form than class="hi2">aan>t represents the messan class="hi2">aan>ge.

"Sickness is an class="hi2">aan>nger tan class="hi2">aan>ken out upon the body."
It's not possible to USE the body for an class="hi2">aan> purpose beyond the body, WITHOUT han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttitude an class="hi2">aan>bout the body ITSELF. If your an class="hi2">aan>ttitude towan class="hi2">aan>rd your brother is love, through the body, the body ITSELF will be loved. an class="hi2">Aan>nd being loved it will be hean class="hi2">aan>led. If your an class="hi2">aan>ttitude towan class="hi2">aan>rd your brother is an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, through the body, the body ITSELF will an class="hi2">aan>lso be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked, an class="hi2">aan>nd it will show up an class="hi2">aan>s sick an class="hi2">aan>nd dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ged.
Bodies do not choose their own condition. The condition of the body is NOT determined OR can class="hi2">aan>used by an class="hi2">Aan>NTHING in the world.
"The mind man class="hi2">aan>kes this decision an class="hi2">aan>s it man class="hi2">aan>kes an class="hi2">Aan>LL decisions responsible for the condition of the body."
"It is your thoughts an class="hi2">aan>lone than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>use you pan class="hi2">aan>in. Nothing externan class="hi2">aan>l to your mind can class="hi2">aan>n hurt or injure you in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y.

There is nothing in the world which han class="hi2">aan>s the power to man class="hi2">aan>ke you ill or san class="hi2">aan>d, or wean class="hi2">aan>k or fran class="hi2">aan>il."
Nothing in the world can class="hi2">aan>n injure you. Nothing in the world can class="hi2">aan>n Can class="hi2">Aan>USE dean class="hi2">aan>th. Nothing in the world can class="hi2">aan>n man class="hi2">aan>ke the body sick. Nothing in the world han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">Aan>NY POWER OVER your body becan class="hi2">aan>use YOUR MIND han class="hi2">aan>s totan class="hi2">aan>l power OVER your body.
"Than class="hi2">aan>t the mind can class="hi2">aan>n hean class="hi2">aan>l the body but the body can class="hi2">aan>nnot hean class="hi2">aan>l the mind proves the mind must be stronger than class="hi2">aan>n the body. Every miran class="hi2">aan>cle demonstran class="hi2">aan>tes this."
Your mind's decision an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttitude is the SOLE Can class="hi2">Aan>USan class="hi2">Aan>L POWER determining the hean class="hi2">aan>lth or sickness of your body. When your mind is loving, your body becomes lovely an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>led. When your mind is an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking, your body becomes sick an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>d. This is Lan class="hi2">Aan>W. There an class="hi2">aan>re no exceptions.
The rean class="hi2">aan>son it is lan class="hi2">aan>w is simple. It's an class="hi2">aan>ll ban class="hi2">aan>sed on can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect. When you an class="hi2">aan>re Can class="hi2">Aan>USan class="hi2">Aan>L, you simply do not regan class="hi2">aan>rd yourself an class="hi2">aan>s "effect", so you don't PERCEIVE yourself BEING an class="hi2">aan>ffected or "an class="hi2">aan>t the effect of" an class="hi2">aan>nything else. Not seeing yourself an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> wean class="hi2">aan>k vulneran class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked victim, you simply do not ran class="hi2">aan>dian class="hi2">aan>te this through the body, an class="hi2">aan>nd the body is HEan class="hi2">Aan>LED by your forgiving an class="hi2">aan>ttitude.
"Now is the body hean class="hi2">aan>led by miran class="hi2">aan>cles."
"Being san class="hi2">aan>ne, the mind hean class="hi2">aan>ls the body becan class="hi2">aan>use it han class="hi2">aan>s been hean class="hi2">aan>led. The san class="hi2">aan>ne mind can class="hi2">aan>nnot conceive of illness becan class="hi2">aan>use it can class="hi2">aan>nnot conceive of an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking an class="hi2">aan>nyone or an class="hi2">aan>nything."
"Sickness is an class="hi2">aan> defense an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the truth."
When your mind sees itself an class="hi2">aan>s EFFECT, not can class="hi2">aan>use, its entire an class="hi2">aan>ttitude an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>pproan class="hi2">aan>ch to itself an class="hi2">aan>nd others an class="hi2">aan>nd to the body chan class="hi2">aan>nges. It now sees itself an class="hi2">aan>s Can class="hi2">Aan>USED from the OUTSIDE IN. This is experienced an class="hi2">aan>s being an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked, an class="hi2">aan>s being WILLED an class="hi2">Aan>Gan class="hi2">Aan>INST, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s being CHan class="hi2">Aan>NGED an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will by others.
This an class="hi2">aan>utoman class="hi2">aan>tican class="hi2">aan>lly sets up an class="hi2">aan> situan class="hi2">aan>tion where you now perceive than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll your brothers an class="hi2">aan>re SINNING an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst you, Can class="hi2">Aan>USING you, HURTING you, an class="hi2">aan>ffecting you an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will. This is rean class="hi2">aan>lly your own mind an class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>r with itself an class="hi2">aan>nd split in its an class="hi2">aan>mbitions. But you PROJECT SIN onto your brother BY HURTING YOUR BODY, so than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y to SHOW HIM than class="hi2">aan>t he han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ffected you.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens here is simple. Your mind, man class="hi2">aan>nufan class="hi2">aan>ctures an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, projects it onto your body, Man class="hi2">Aan>KES YOUR BODY SICK, by believing it is an class="hi2">Aan>T THE EFFECT of your brother, who is simultan class="hi2">aan>neously an class="hi2">Aan>CCUSED BY THE BODY, of man class="hi2">aan>king you an class="hi2">Aan>FFECTED. Seeing can class="hi2">aan>use in him ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n in yourself, your mind INVENTS EFFECTS than class="hi2">aan>t come FROM his can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity, an class="hi2">aan>nd holds them in plan class="hi2">aan>ce, an class="hi2">aan>s judgement upon your brother, so than class="hi2">aan>t HE IS RESPONSIBLE for your hean class="hi2">aan>lth.
You either can class="hi2">aan>n believe an class="hi2">aan>nd experience than class="hi2">aan>t YOU an class="hi2">aan>re responsible for the body's hean class="hi2">aan>lth, OR than class="hi2">aan>t OTHERS an class="hi2">aan>re responsible for YOUR body's hean class="hi2">aan>lth. These an class="hi2">aan>re your only options. If you choose to believe your body is NOT can class="hi2">aan>used by you, you MUST believe it is can class="hi2">aan>used by someone ELSE. an class="hi2">Aan>nd THEY now stan class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>CCUSED, responsible, sinful, for can class="hi2">aan>using your body's condition "an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will." an class="hi2">Aan>nd in this belief your body WILL be sick becan class="hi2">aan>use YOU an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking.
Sickness in the body now becomes PROOF OF SIN. It forms whan class="hi2">aan>t Jesus can class="hi2">aan>lls "an class="hi2">aan> picture of crucifixion." You HOLD this picture in front of your brother's physican class="hi2">aan>l eyes so than class="hi2">aan>t he deliberan class="hi2">aan>tely SEES IT, SO THan class="hi2">Aan>T he stan class="hi2">aan>nds an class="hi2">aan>ccused. By the mere fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t your body Han class="hi2">Aan>S an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>lfunction, dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ged, han class="hi2">aan>rm, disean class="hi2">aan>se etc, IT IS an class="hi2">Aan>CCUSING HIM.
It does not man class="hi2">aan>tter whan class="hi2">aan>t you THINK your mentan class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>te is. It does not man class="hi2">aan>tter how much you clan class="hi2">aan>im to be an class="hi2">aan>t pean class="hi2">aan>ce. It does not man class="hi2">aan>tter how much you think you han class="hi2">aan>ve forgiven him. The ONLY Wan class="hi2">Aan>Y your body BECOMES sick, the only wan class="hi2">aan>y it STan class="hi2">Aan>YS sick, an class="hi2">aan>nd the only wan class="hi2">aan>y its sickness is NOT OVERRIDDEN by an class="hi2">aan>nother can class="hi2">aan>use, is by YOUR MIND NOT BEING HEan class="hi2">Aan>LED.
This is why "dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ged bodies REMan class="hi2">Aan>IN an class="hi2">Aan>CCUSERS."
Doesn't man class="hi2">aan>tter who you an class="hi2">aan>re or how an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>nced you think you an class="hi2">aan>re in the course. IF the physican class="hi2">aan>l body still shows up an class="hi2">aan>s dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ged, somewhree in your MIND there is an class="hi2">aan>n UNFORGIVENESS. an class="hi2">Aan>nd there is STILL an class="hi2">Aan> DEFENSE an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the truth. Becan class="hi2">aan>use sickness is an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS held in plan class="hi2">aan>ce by DEFENSES an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst God an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst love. Loving minds do not han class="hi2">aan>ve sick bodies.
"If they loved themselves they would hean class="hi2">aan>l themselves."
"To witness sin an class="hi2">aan>nd yet forgive it is an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>dox which rean class="hi2">aan>son can class="hi2">aan>nnot see.

***Forgiveness is not rean class="hi2">aan>l UNLESS it brings an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>ling to your brother an class="hi2">Aan>ND yourself*** (this includes BOTH YOUR BODIES!).

Go God bathing and get a spiritual tan

I've recently been 'God ban class="hi2">aan>thing' ... But I don't quite han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> tan class="hi2">aan>n yet.
an class="hi2">Aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly it's not an class="hi2">aan>s simple an class="hi2">aan>s just getting into my swimsuit an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>ying in the light. There's an class="hi2">aan> slight problem. Pan class="hi2">aan>rt of me does not wan class="hi2">aan>nt it.
The interesting thing is, though, than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>s I an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to expose myself to God's love - by which I mean class="hi2">aan>n, to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>ccept the *experience* of it - to let it in an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>llow it - it shines an class="hi2">aan> light on the pan class="hi2">aan>rts of me than class="hi2">aan>t need hean class="hi2">aan>ling.
These an class="hi2">aan>re the pan class="hi2">aan>rts than class="hi2">aan>t I can class="hi2">aan>n tell feel like... They an class="hi2">aan>re not worthy, they an class="hi2">aan>re not good enough, they an class="hi2">aan>re guilty, they believe something is going to be tan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y or lost, than class="hi2">aan>t hold grievan class="hi2">aan>nces, than class="hi2">aan>t feel an class="hi2">aan>lone an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd forgotten, etc... an class="hi2">Aan>ll of this 'me', this ego me, who I think I an class="hi2">aan>m right now, than class="hi2">aan>t when you rean class="hi2">aan>lly get down to it, when fan class="hi2">aan>ced with 'the truth' (God), experiences itself an class="hi2">aan>s unwan class="hi2">aan>nted an class="hi2">aan>nd lost.
It's not ean class="hi2">aan>sy to be an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re than class="hi2">aan>t this is in me an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t it needs hean class="hi2">aan>ling.

I let it come an class="hi2">aan> bit closer. I let it seep in an class="hi2">aan>round the foundan class="hi2">aan>tions of my 'self han class="hi2">aan>te', an class="hi2">aan>nd loosen it up an class="hi2">aan> bit. It's like being surrounded with an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>ling ban class="hi2">aan>lm, or getting an class="hi2">aan> hug.
Than class="hi2">aan>t resistan class="hi2">aan>nt ego pan class="hi2">aan>rt of me still doesn't believe than class="hi2">aan>t God could love me...an class="hi2">aan>nd it an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys han class="hi2">aan>s this sense of ...'becan class="hi2">aan>use'... There is an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>son... Becan class="hi2">aan>use of whan class="hi2">aan>t I did... Guilt.
Hopefully if I can class="hi2">aan>n relean class="hi2">aan>se an class="hi2">aan>nd let of enough blocks an class="hi2">aan>nd resistan class="hi2">aan>nces an class="hi2">aan>nd beliefs in guilt, I can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st let myself rean class="hi2">aan>lize, if for just an class="hi2">aan> moment, than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly everything is going to be okan class="hi2">aan>y.

an class="hi2">Aan>nd then little glimpses or feelings of optimism stan class="hi2">aan>rt to creep in, little an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>renesses of... man class="hi2">aan>ybe it's true. Man class="hi2">aan>ybe I don't han class="hi2">aan>ve to be this wan class="hi2">aan>y.

Distinguishing between love and a call for love

It's importan class="hi2">aan>nt to become an class="hi2">aan>ble to distinguish clean class="hi2">aan>rly between 'love' an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> 'can class="hi2">aan>ll for love'. However, know than class="hi2">aan>t to do this correctly requires Holy Spirit-level an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness. an class="hi2">Aan>s Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys:
"You can class="hi2">aan>nnot san class="hi2">aan>fely man class="hi2">aan>ke this division (between love an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>ll for love), for you an class="hi2">aan>re much too confused, either to recognize love, or to believe than class="hi2">aan>t EVERYTHING else is nothing but an class="hi2">aan> NEED for love. You an class="hi2">aan>re too bound to form, an class="hi2">aan>nd NOT to content. Whan class="hi2">aan>t you CONSIDER content, is not content an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. It is merely form, an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing else. For you do NOT respond to whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> brother REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY offers you, but only to the pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>r perception o this offering by which your EGO judges it. The ego is incan class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of understan class="hi2">aan>nding content, an class="hi2">aan>nd is totan class="hi2">aan>lly unconcerned with it. To the ego, if the form is an class="hi2">aan>cceptan class="hi2">aan>ble, the content MUST be. Otherwise, it will an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck the form."
So here Jesus is san class="hi2">aan>ying than class="hi2">aan>t Holy Spirit is an class="hi2">aan>ble to clean class="hi2">aan>rly distinguish love from an class="hi2">aan> 'can class="hi2">aan>ll for love' becan class="hi2">aan>use He clean class="hi2">aan>rly recognizes whan class="hi2">aan>t love rean class="hi2">aan>lly IS, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore can class="hi2">aan>n tell when something is an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>ll for love. But we han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> lot of ego judgements in us an class="hi2">aan>nd this prevents us from being an class="hi2">aan>ble to man class="hi2">aan>ke this can class="hi2">aan>ll on our own, an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st not until lan class="hi2">aan>ter an class="hi2">aan>fter there han class="hi2">aan>s been an class="hi2">aan> lot of purifican class="hi2">aan>tion. We an class="hi2">aan>re here to lean class="hi2">aan>rn HOW to discern love from an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>ll for love, by getting our own can class="hi2">aan>ll for love an class="hi2">aan>nswered BY love, enough to han class="hi2">aan>ve some discernment.

If you recognize than class="hi2">aan>t the Holy Spirit han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> big-picture plan class="hi2">aan>n, an class="hi2">aan>nd you WILL meet those than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re mean class="hi2">aan>nt to meet, there is an class="hi2">aan> DEGREE of predeterminan class="hi2">aan>tion in your future. Your life pan class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd mission in this lifetime, your lessons than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>greed to before you incan class="hi2">aan>rnan class="hi2">aan>ted, an class="hi2">aan>lso plan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt.
"Your pan class="hi2">aan>ssan class="hi2">aan>ge through time an class="hi2">aan>nd span class="hi2">aan>ce is not ran class="hi2">aan>ndom.

So through God's strength, an class="hi2">aan>nd through the Holy Spirit's an class="hi2">aan>tonement plan class="hi2">aan>n, van class="hi2">aan>rious things an class="hi2">aan>re "set" to occur, van class="hi2">aan>rious encounters an class="hi2">aan>re going to han class="hi2">aan>ppen, van class="hi2">aan>rious people an class="hi2">aan>re going to be met, an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re going to an class="hi2">aan>rrive an class="hi2">aan>t certan class="hi2">aan>in lessons.
an class="hi2">Aan>fter an class="hi2">aan>ll, iman class="hi2">aan>gine if it han class="hi2">aan>d been designed than class="hi2">aan>t you were mean class="hi2">aan>nt to meet the love of your life an class="hi2">aan>nd get man class="hi2">aan>rried for an class="hi2">aan> long term relan class="hi2">aan>tionship .. but through some ran class="hi2">aan>ndomly chan class="hi2">aan>otic pointless bullshit you did not meet than class="hi2">aan>t person an class="hi2">aan>nd did not experience an class="hi2">aan>ny of the lessons you were supposed to experience with than class="hi2">aan>t person. God doesn't lean class="hi2">aan>ve things up to such chan class="hi2">aan>nce when the relan class="hi2">aan>tionship is can class="hi2">aan>refully chosen an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> perfect ban class="hi2">aan>lan class="hi2">aan>nce conducive to lean class="hi2">aan>rning.
If it's in the plan class="hi2">aan>n for you to meet an class="hi2">aan> person, you WILL meet them. The drean class="hi2">aan>m events will be an class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>nged an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>nipulan class="hi2">aan>ted by Holy Spirit an class="hi2">aan>nd Jesus, even rean class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>nging span class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd time, in order to man class="hi2">aan>ke sure than class="hi2">aan>t the encounter han class="hi2">aan>ppens. The drean class="hi2">aan>m is man class="hi2">aan>llean class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>nd the world is not objectively rean class="hi2">aan>l. It is ean class="hi2">aan>sy for them to steer events, inspire thoughts, crean class="hi2">aan>te impulses an class="hi2">aan>nd inspiran class="hi2">aan>tions, an class="hi2">aan>nd directly an class="hi2">aan>lter the world, to nudge everything in its right direction so than class="hi2">aan>t the plan class="hi2">aan>n does han class="hi2">aan>ppen.
This doesn't mean class="hi2">aan>n you're totan class="hi2">aan>lly stuck or than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve to go an class="hi2">aan>long with something or than class="hi2">aan>t you will even necessan class="hi2">aan>rily lean class="hi2">aan>rn from it if you choose not to. It doesn't mean class="hi2">aan>n your freedom is tan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y or than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n't influence an class="hi2">aan>nything, or than class="hi2">aan>t even your thoughts an class="hi2">aan>re predestined to the extent than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve no power an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.

Whan class="hi2">aan>t this does mean class="hi2">aan>n then is than class="hi2">aan>t you should recognize than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re going to be some things han class="hi2">aan>ppening in your future which an class="hi2">aan>re "plan class="hi2">aan>nned". There an class="hi2">aan>re some people than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re going to meet. There an class="hi2">aan>re some events which an class="hi2">aan>re going to tran class="hi2">aan>nspire. an class="hi2">Aan>s though the universe itself is colluding to man class="hi2">aan>ke sure things unfold an class="hi2">aan>s they an class="hi2">aan>re supposed to.
Than class="hi2">aan>t being the can class="hi2">aan>se, if it's true than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re scheduled to meet certan class="hi2">aan>in people an class="hi2">aan>nd do certan class="hi2">aan>in things an class="hi2">aan>nd experience certan class="hi2">aan>in lessons, then you should relan class="hi2">aan>x an class="hi2">aan>nd TRUST than class="hi2">aan>t this is for your highest good.

an class="hi2">Aan>nd in seeing this, you can class="hi2">aan>n then cean class="hi2">aan>se an class="hi2">aan> lot of the egoic behan class="hi2">aan>viours. Such an class="hi2">aan>s trying to plan class="hi2">aan>n everything, trying to figure out whan class="hi2">aan>t to do, fan class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>sizing an class="hi2">aan>bout who you might meet or whan class="hi2">aan>t they might be like, trying to man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>ll decisions on your own, trying to predict whan class="hi2">aan>t's going to han class="hi2">aan>ppen, an class="hi2">aan>nd trying to run the whole show yourself. You can class="hi2">aan>n put the future into the han class="hi2">aan>nds of God an class="hi2">aan>nd let him orchestran class="hi2">aan>te your life.
You han class="hi2">aan>ve to therefore man class="hi2">aan>ke room for God an class="hi2">aan>nd for his plan class="hi2">aan>n, to not interfere with it, an class="hi2">aan>nd instean class="hi2">aan>d to be an class="hi2">aan> willing pan class="hi2">aan>rticipan class="hi2">aan>nt in the han class="hi2">aan>ppenings. Going where you an class="hi2">aan>re directed, performing the miran class="hi2">aan>cles you an class="hi2">aan>re instructed to perform, lean class="hi2">aan>rning the lessons than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ve been can class="hi2">aan>refully designed for you, an class="hi2">aan>nd so on.
It mean class="hi2">aan>ns letting go of an class="hi2">aan>ll the tight control an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd resistan class="hi2">aan>nce an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst whan class="hi2">aan>t's han class="hi2">aan>ppening.

You are not a body, you are free

We han class="hi2">aan>ve first clung to the body in an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan> division between inner an class="hi2">aan>nd outer.
The purpose of the body wan class="hi2">aan>sn't so much to identify yourself with the body, but to hide behind an class="hi2">aan>nd inside of it.
Yet the body is seen an class="hi2">aan>s the mode of escan class="hi2">aan>pe from than class="hi2">aan>t which you believe you an class="hi2">aan>re not.
Everything outside the body seems to represent whan class="hi2">aan>t is no longer inside of you, which is the whole of God.
Our belief in being threan class="hi2">aan>tened by whan class="hi2">aan>t is outside can class="hi2">aan>uses us to cling ever tighter to the body, man class="hi2">aan>king it sicker an class="hi2">aan>nd in more pan class="hi2">aan>in in an class="hi2">aan>n effort to focus on it more intensely than class="hi2">aan>n ever.
Dean class="hi2">aan>th of the body is an class="hi2">aan> protest to be left an class="hi2">aan>lone to die, so than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ckers will no longer bother you.
We rean class="hi2">aan>son the more rean class="hi2">aan>l we can class="hi2">aan>n man class="hi2">aan>ke the body seem to us the more we can class="hi2">aan>n identify it an class="hi2">aan>s ourself, keeping whan class="hi2">aan>t is outside of it an class="hi2">aan>t ban class="hi2">aan>y. If we an class="hi2">aan>re the body, then the Son of God goes down when the body goes down.
The body is an class="hi2">aan> withdran class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>l from wholeness. It is an class="hi2">aan>n intentionan class="hi2">aan>l limitan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between inner an class="hi2">aan>nd outer self. It is an class="hi2">aan> movement an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from life an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to stop living.
To be an class="hi2">aan> body is to be an class="hi2">aan> tiny intervan class="hi2">aan>l of span class="hi2">aan>ce, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n the whole of span class="hi2">aan>ce. an class="hi2">Aan>nd to be in the now, is to be in an class="hi2">aan> tiny intervan class="hi2">aan>l of time ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n eternity.
You an class="hi2">aan>re hiding in your body. But you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan> body, you an class="hi2">aan>re free.

This suffering is not a part of me

an class="hi2">Aan>s we dive deeply into whan class="hi2">aan>t it mean class="hi2">aan>ns to be an class="hi2">aan>n immortan class="hi2">aan>l being, something suddenly becomes clean class="hi2">aan>r. If we an class="hi2">aan>re indeed invulneran class="hi2">aan>ble, inpenetran class="hi2">aan>ble, eternan class="hi2">aan>l, incan class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of even being chan class="hi2">aan>nged, or an class="hi2">aan>ffected in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y.... then how is it possible than class="hi2">aan>t there can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of suffering than class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan> Pan class="hi2">Aan>RT of us?
If we an class="hi2">aan>re this PURE LIFE, which is so an class="hi2">aan>live it is completely devoid of an class="hi2">aan>ll tran class="hi2">aan>ces of an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th, unan class="hi2">aan>ble to be even modified in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y, completely perman class="hi2">aan>nent an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>bsolute, how can class="hi2">aan>n it BECOME an class="hi2">aan>nything? How can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of suffering be something we han class="hi2">aan>ve in us, or an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>de of?
Surely this mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t if there does seem to be some kind of suffering - an class="hi2">aan>n upset feeling, some loss, some guilt, an class="hi2">aan> fean class="hi2">aan>r, an class="hi2">aan> sickness, an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll which is an class="hi2">aan> form of destruction, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot be INSIDE of whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re. It can class="hi2">aan>n't be modifying the inherent nan class="hi2">aan>ture an class="hi2">aan>nd substan class="hi2">aan>nce of whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re. So it han class="hi2">aan>s to be somehow sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te or "outside".
If there is for exan class="hi2">aan>mple an class="hi2">aan> feeling of unhan class="hi2">aan>ppiness, we can class="hi2">aan>n't rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>tely san class="hi2">aan>y "I an class="hi2">aan>m unhan class="hi2">aan>ppy." Becan class="hi2">aan>use this mean class="hi2">aan>ns I han class="hi2">aan>ve become unhan class="hi2">aan>ppiness. I han class="hi2">aan>ve chan class="hi2">aan>nged, an class="hi2">aan>nd so I an class="hi2">aan>m not unchan class="hi2">aan>ngean class="hi2">aan>ble, an class="hi2">aan>nd I han class="hi2">aan>ve tran class="hi2">aan>nsformed, an class="hi2">aan>nd I han class="hi2">aan>ve modified whan class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>nd how I feel - no longer perman class="hi2">aan>nently han class="hi2">aan>ppy, no longer joyful an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>t pean class="hi2">aan>ce, but disturbed an class="hi2">aan>nd upset an class="hi2">aan>nd defective in some wan class="hi2">aan>y.
This points to the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t we IDENTIFY WITH things which can class="hi2">aan>nnot be an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of us, an class="hi2">aan>nd tend to include them in our definition of me, myself, I, whan class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m, whan class="hi2">aan>t I han class="hi2">aan>ve, whan class="hi2">aan>t I feel, whan class="hi2">aan>t I experience. an class="hi2">Aan>s though to san class="hi2">aan>y we an class="hi2">Aan>RE these things, than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of us. But they can class="hi2">aan>n't be.
The ego on the other han class="hi2">aan>nd is an class="hi2">aan> sense of confusion in identity, in which our mind han class="hi2">aan>s moved an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from being PURE LIFE an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s gone off the ran class="hi2">aan>ils. It's believing than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re now quan class="hi2">aan>lities an class="hi2">aan>nd substan class="hi2">aan>nces an class="hi2">aan>nd contents to our self than class="hi2">aan>t God did not put there. Than class="hi2">aan>t we han class="hi2">aan>ve chan class="hi2">aan>nged an class="hi2">aan>nd turned into something less than class="hi2">aan>n whole, less than class="hi2">aan>n pure, less than class="hi2">aan>n perfect.
So the ego then han class="hi2">aan>s this sort of view of BEING ONE WITH things which an class="hi2">aan>re not of God. Being one with illusions, with pan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd misery, with sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th, with suffering, with the body etc. It regan class="hi2">aan>rds them an class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rt of itself an class="hi2">aan>nd tries to wean class="hi2">aan>r them - not just like an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te piece of clothing, but like... to be so merged with it than class="hi2">aan>t it thinks of it like it is its SELF. Than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">Aan>RE an class="hi2">aan> body.
The ego view is this smushing together of mind an class="hi2">aan>nd form, where identity becomes tan class="hi2">aan>ngled up in the things which an class="hi2">aan>re not of God. So now we stan class="hi2">aan>rt to feel like "I feel upset" an class="hi2">aan>nd "I an class="hi2">aan>m in pan class="hi2">aan>in" an class="hi2">aan>nd "I an class="hi2">aan>m guilty" an class="hi2">aan>nd so on. But this can class="hi2">aan>n't be true. We can class="hi2">aan>nnot BE these things in truth if we an class="hi2">aan>re immortan class="hi2">aan>l beings. They can class="hi2">aan>n't be an class="hi2">aan> Pan class="hi2">Aan>RT of our self, included in ourself, pan class="hi2">aan>rt of our nan class="hi2">aan>ture or condition. They han class="hi2">aan>ve to be sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te things, outside of us, not even "ours" rean class="hi2">aan>lly.
If we then look when ego is flan class="hi2">aan>ring up an class="hi2">aan>nd there is an class="hi2">aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>nner of upset an class="hi2">aan>nd hurt an class="hi2">aan>nd emotions an class="hi2">aan>nd pian class="hi2">aan>n coming out, we should do something which seems to most human class="hi2">aan>ns would be insan class="hi2">aan>ne an class="hi2">aan>nd unhean class="hi2">aan>lthy - to sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te ourselves from it. To san class="hi2">aan>y, I an class="hi2">aan>m not suffering, I an class="hi2">aan>m not upset, I an class="hi2">aan>m not wean class="hi2">aan>k, I an class="hi2">aan>m not in pan class="hi2">aan>in, I an class="hi2">aan>m not han class="hi2">aan>ving this han class="hi2">aan>ppen to me, I an class="hi2">aan>m not these sensan class="hi2">aan>tions, I an class="hi2">aan>m not these thoughts.
Becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>ll of these forms of suffering can class="hi2">aan>nnot an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly BE - they an class="hi2">aan>re not wan class="hi2">aan>ys of being - they an class="hi2">aan>re just illusions an class="hi2">aan>nd drean class="hi2">aan>ms. Whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>s immortan class="hi2">aan>l beings can class="hi2">aan>nnot suffer, can class="hi2">aan>nnot han class="hi2">aan>ve loss, can class="hi2">aan>nnot die. Whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>nnot even rean class="hi2">aan>lly be unhan class="hi2">aan>ppy - which is an class="hi2">aan> form of dean class="hi2">aan>th.

This dis-an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>tion, trying not to be whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re, produced an class="hi2">aan> counter-an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>te WITH ... something than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re not.

Sickness is a belief that God is sick

an class="hi2">Aan> belief than class="hi2">aan>t sickness is rean class="hi2">aan>l must be an class="hi2">aan> belief than class="hi2">aan>t God is sick.
Sickness is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to redefine God an class="hi2">aan>s less than class="hi2">aan>n whole; suffering, an class="hi2">aan>nd prepan class="hi2">aan>ring to die.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t we give rean class="hi2">aan>lity to, or see truth in, becomes our perceived rean class="hi2">aan>lity. If we believe than class="hi2">aan>t sickness is rean class="hi2">aan>l, we will in some wan class="hi2">aan>y experience sickness, becan class="hi2">aan>use we put it there.
If sickness is rean class="hi2">aan>l, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot be hean class="hi2">aan>led. Han class="hi2">aan>ving given rean class="hi2">aan>lity to it, it han class="hi2">aan>s been estan class="hi2">aan>blished with an class="hi2">aan> sense of perman class="hi2">aan>nence an class="hi2">aan>nd held in suspension.
To an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to hean class="hi2">aan>l than class="hi2">aan>t which is rean class="hi2">aan>l, is nonsense. Rean class="hi2">aan>lity needs no hean class="hi2">aan>ling. To an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to hean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness is nonsense. While the belief in sickness reman class="hi2">aan>ins an class="hi2">aan>ctive, it is an class="hi2">aan>ctively producing more sickness.
Those who an class="hi2">aan>re sick would like to enjoy hean class="hi2">aan>lth. But they do not han class="hi2">aan>ve this option. They an class="hi2">aan>re fixed in sickness, becan class="hi2">aan>use they believe the world is rean class="hi2">aan>l. If the world is rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd they han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>mbition to go from "rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness" to "rean class="hi2">aan>l hean class="hi2">aan>lth", it will not work. an class="hi2">Aan> hean class="hi2">aan>lthy body an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> sick body an class="hi2">aan>re both illusions, an class="hi2">aan>nd the experience of sickness an class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>ins it.
The only wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t sickness can class="hi2">aan>n be cured is by recognizing sickness is not rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Giving it no truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd giving it TO the truth.
One the one han class="hi2">aan>nd we man class="hi2">aan>y be san class="hi2">aan>ying, I wan class="hi2">aan>nt to not be sick, or I wan class="hi2">aan>nt than class="hi2">aan>t person to not be sick. But an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time, we an class="hi2">aan>re san class="hi2">aan>ying this becan class="hi2">aan>use we an class="hi2">aan>re experiencing "rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness" an class="hi2">aan>nd do not like it. Who would enjoy being "rean class="hi2">aan>lly sick"? If sickness were rean class="hi2">aan>l, we would seem to "rean class="hi2">aan>lly suffer".
Divine hean class="hi2">aan>lth focuses entirely on God's truth an class="hi2">aan>nd life. It han class="hi2">aan>s no room for even an class="hi2">aan> thought of sickness or sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion.
Forgiveness overlooks sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd error from the stan class="hi2">aan>rt.

Error (judgement) enters in an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> Fan class="hi2">Aan>ILURE to be fore-giving - an class="hi2">aan>n error in forgiveness ("he who would not forgive must judge").
an class="hi2">Aan> form of error is SICKNESS. To overlook sickness we must lean class="hi2">aan>rn not to man class="hi2">aan>ke sickness rean class="hi2">aan>l, which is man class="hi2">aan>king the error rean class="hi2">aan>l.
Therefore to hean class="hi2">aan>l sickness, we must withdran class="hi2">aan>w an class="hi2">aan>ll sense than class="hi2">aan>t the error/sickness is REan class="hi2">Aan>L, to begin with, otherwise we will be fighting an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst our own decision to believe in the sickness, an class="hi2">aan>nd will be in conflict with ourselves. Likely we will wan class="hi2">aan>ge wan class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the sickness like it is an class="hi2">aan>n enemy, which will only mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t we're wan class="hi2">aan>ging wan class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst our own desire to keep sickness an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
We need to be single minded. One minded. Whole minded. One focus on perfect hean class="hi2">aan>lth an class="hi2">aan>nd truth, with no room for producing error, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore no room for believing than class="hi2">aan>t sickness (error) can class="hi2">aan>n be in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y rean class="hi2">aan>l.
When you see or experience sickness, you an class="hi2">aan>re in error. You believe the sickness is rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening. You believe you an class="hi2">aan>re experiencing it. You an class="hi2">aan>re choosing it, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>dding to it. You must unbelieve it.
There IS no rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness!
There IS no rean class="hi2">aan>l dean class="hi2">aan>th!
There IS no rean class="hi2">aan>l sin!
God's truth is the only truth.

Why we invented a vicious God of wrath

When we sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted from God, believing we han class="hi2">aan>d sinned, we projected the idean class="hi2">aan> of this sin onto God, blan class="hi2">aan>ming Him for an class="hi2">aan>ban class="hi2">aan>ndoning us an class="hi2">aan>nd forcing us to be sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te.
When we then entered into guilt, we projected this guilt onto God, an class="hi2">aan>ccusing Him of being the one who man class="hi2">aan>de us sin.
When we then becan class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id, we projected the can class="hi2">aan>use of this fean class="hi2">aan>r onto God, clan class="hi2">aan>iming we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id of Him, becan class="hi2">aan>use of Him.
Then we fean class="hi2">aan>red punishment, an class="hi2">aan>nd we projected the source of this punishment onto God, believing he is the one who is going to punish us.
When we experienced punishment an class="hi2">aan>nd felt close to dean class="hi2">aan>th, we projected the can class="hi2">aan>use of this onto God an class="hi2">aan>nd believed than class="hi2">aan>t God wan class="hi2">aan>nted us to be dean class="hi2">aan>d.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd then we died. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it wan class="hi2">aan>s God's wran class="hi2">aan>th.
These an class="hi2">aan>re the stan class="hi2">aan>ges than class="hi2">aan>t we han class="hi2">aan>ve gone through in order to INVENT an class="hi2">Aan> Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE GOD. Every ego projection of our own stuff, onto God, pan class="hi2">aan>ints an class="hi2">aan>n iman class="hi2">aan>ge 'out there' of an class="hi2">aan> source, an class="hi2">aan> God, who han class="hi2">aan>s can class="hi2">aan>used an class="hi2">aan>ll this to han class="hi2">aan>ppen. This is the ego's idean class="hi2">aan> of God, an class="hi2">aan> God invented to replan class="hi2">aan>ce the Rean class="hi2">aan>l God.
So now we han class="hi2">aan>ve projected the can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>son for an class="hi2">aan>ll stan class="hi2">aan>ges of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion onto God. God is the one who rejected us, God is the one who man class="hi2">aan>de sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>ppen, God is guilty, God is fean class="hi2">aan>rful an class="hi2">aan>nd the can class="hi2">aan>use of fean class="hi2">aan>r, God is going to judge an class="hi2">aan>nd punish us, God is punishing us for good rean class="hi2">aan>son, it's God's will than class="hi2">aan>t we die, an class="hi2">aan>nd by dying we're doing whan class="hi2">aan>t God wan class="hi2">aan>nts.
This is how we han class="hi2">aan>ve defined an class="hi2">aan>nd generan class="hi2">aan>ted this fan class="hi2">aan>lse ego-crean class="hi2">aan>ted God in our minds. This is whan class="hi2">aan>t we believe God is like. We han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> dean class="hi2">aan>th wish, trying to die, not just to escan class="hi2">aan>pe God's wran class="hi2">aan>th but becan class="hi2">aan>use we think this God wan class="hi2">aan>nts us to die, than class="hi2">aan>t it is His will, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>rrying out His will by dying.
an class="hi2">Aan>t every stan class="hi2">aan>ge, it is our ego denian class="hi2">aan>l of ownership of whan class="hi2">aan>t we're doing, than class="hi2">aan>t brought an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan> projection an class="hi2">aan>nd disan class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>tion of than class="hi2">aan>t condition, onto God. We've tried to pull God into the problem. We've tried to blan class="hi2">aan>me Him for an class="hi2">aan>ll of it.
This is an class="hi2">aan>lso why we han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n existentian class="hi2">aan>l terror than class="hi2">aan>t God wan class="hi2">aan>nts us dean class="hi2">aan>d. This is why we feel guilty just for existing when God an class="hi2">aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rently doesn't wan class="hi2">aan>nt it. This is why we feel unworthy of love. This is why we believe we can class="hi2">aan>n't go ban class="hi2">aan>ck Home to God becan class="hi2">aan>use we don't think He will ever wan class="hi2">aan>nt us ban class="hi2">aan>ck or forgive us, wan class="hi2">aan>nting instean class="hi2">aan>d for us to be dean class="hi2">aan>d. We an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ve this belief in us, an class="hi2">aan>nd we an class="hi2">aan>lso believe than class="hi2">aan>t God is the one who decided than class="hi2">aan>t we're terribly guilty.
It wan class="hi2">aan>s never Him. God han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>d nothing to do with an class="hi2">aan>ny of this. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of this disownership of the can class="hi2">aan>uses of this unfolding of sin-guilt-fean class="hi2">aan>r-punishment-dean class="hi2">aan>th, han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ll been our own choosing an class="hi2">aan>nd our own doing, to ourselves, within ourselves. None of it han class="hi2">aan>s tan class="hi2">aan>ken plan class="hi2">aan>ce outside of ourselves. None of it han class="hi2">aan>s involved an class="hi2">aan>nyone else, no other, no person, no God. We han class="hi2">aan>ve done this to ourselves. But an class="hi2">aan>long the wan class="hi2">aan>y we've progressively disowned every pan class="hi2">aan>rt of it an class="hi2">aan>nd projected it.
an class="hi2">Aan>ll of this projection han class="hi2">aan>s built an class="hi2">aan>n outwan class="hi2">aan>rd, sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted picture of whan class="hi2">aan>t God is like. This is the ego's fan class="hi2">aan>lse God. The ego an class="hi2">aan>lso believes than class="hi2">aan>t it stopped han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rent/Fan class="hi2">aan>ther/Mother when it sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted from God, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>d to invent this an class="hi2">aan>lternan class="hi2">aan>tive God, an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>rtifician class="hi2">aan>l fan class="hi2">aan>lse God, which it not only worships an class="hi2">aan>nd obeys (by can class="hi2">aan>rrying out its an class="hi2">aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rent dean class="hi2">aan>th wish) but an class="hi2">aan>lso fean class="hi2">aan>rs to such an class="hi2">aan>n extend than class="hi2">aan>t it would try to escan class="hi2">aan>pe into the gran class="hi2">aan>ve to an class="hi2">aan>void God's wran class="hi2">aan>th. This is how we've built this fiction of an class="hi2">aan> God than class="hi2">aan>t is unloving, unkind, unforgiving, hurtful, vengeful, judgmentan class="hi2">aan>l, condemning, conditionan class="hi2">aan>l. This is not whan class="hi2">aan>t God is like an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.
an class="hi2">Aan>ll of this han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppened becan class="hi2">aan>use of our disowning of ourselves. Our progressive disowning of ourselves an class="hi2">aan>t every stan class="hi2">aan>ge of the development of the idean class="hi2">aan> of being completely sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd unlike God. It's an class="hi2">aan>ll to do with us disowning our power an class="hi2">aan>nd projecting an class="hi2">aan>ll of our self-an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck onto God, believing He is the externan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>use of it an class="hi2">aan>ll. So now it's an class="hi2">aan>ll God's fan class="hi2">aan>ult an class="hi2">aan>nd we're just victims, lan class="hi2">aan>mbs to the slan class="hi2">aan>ughter. This is the ego's crean class="hi2">aan>tion story.
The ego an class="hi2">aan>ttitude than class="hi2">aan>t we han class="hi2">aan>ve, is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll of this terrible stuff han class="hi2">aan>ppened becan class="hi2">aan>use of an class="hi2">aan>nyone other than class="hi2">aan>n ourselves. an class="hi2">Aan>nd therefore we can class="hi2">aan>n't do an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>bout it. But the truth is, this entire process of 'crean class="hi2">aan>tion', man class="hi2">aan>king, han class="hi2">aan>s tan class="hi2">aan>ken plan class="hi2">aan>ce entirely within our own self. In our own mind. It never rean class="hi2">aan>lly projected. It wan class="hi2">aan>s never God's fan class="hi2">aan>ult an class="hi2">aan>nd doesn't involve God whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever.
God is pure love. God is holy. God is innocent. God is freedom an class="hi2">aan>nd light. God is han class="hi2">aan>ppy with you. God is bean class="hi2">aan>utiful. God is han class="hi2">aan>rmless an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>geless an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>thless. God is pean class="hi2">aan>ce. God isn't an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst you. God doesn't think these hideous things of you. God loves you unconditionan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>nd for an class="hi2">aan>ll time an class="hi2">aan>nd beyond. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys will.

Isn't forgiveness just a spiritual bypass?

I've been looking an class="hi2">aan>t this closely becan class="hi2">aan>use I wan class="hi2">aan>nt to find out how this course is supposed to be an class="hi2">aan>pplied, without an class="hi2">aan> bypan class="hi2">aan>ss an class="hi2">aan>nd without denian class="hi2">aan>l.
an class="hi2">Aan>t first I recognised than class="hi2">aan>t there wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> whole lot of spirituan class="hi2">aan>l bypan class="hi2">aan>ssing going on. Than class="hi2">aan>t is, trying to an class="hi2">aan>dopt thoughts, theories, concept etc fan class="hi2">aan>r beyond where my 'an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l experience' is, such than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m out of touch with an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l experience an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>m living in an class="hi2">aan> kind of mentan class="hi2">aan>l fan class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>sy. This becomes the spirituan class="hi2">aan>lised ego, getting lost in the intellect, 'bypan class="hi2">aan>ssing' the experience an class="hi2">aan>nd the feelings an class="hi2">aan>nd pretending to be more an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>nced etc.
So then I thought ok, I an class="hi2">aan>m not supposed to deny whan class="hi2">aan>t's han class="hi2">aan>ppening, I'm supposed to an class="hi2">aan>ccept it. So then I went kind of the other wan class="hi2">aan>y, went more into feeling the feelings, han class="hi2">aan>ving the experience, an class="hi2">aan>nd it seemed like if I would an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to an class="hi2">aan>void or invan class="hi2">aan>lidan class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y it would be an class="hi2">aan> bypan class="hi2">aan>ss. But this led to just being swan class="hi2">aan>mped in the ego, continued suffering, fan class="hi2">aan>lse perceptions, an class="hi2">aan>nd essentian class="hi2">aan>lly no room for forgiveness.
Now I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>sking myself, where does forgiveness come into this? If forgiveness is going to try to offer some kind of interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion or wan class="hi2">aan>y of seeing something than class="hi2">aan>t is different to "whan class="hi2">aan>t it is" or "whan class="hi2">aan>t's han class="hi2">aan>ppening", surely forgiveness is an class="hi2">aan> bypan class="hi2">aan>ss? There han class="hi2">aan>s to be an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y to move from "I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan> body" to "I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan> body" without it being some kind of fan class="hi2">aan>ulty an class="hi2">aan>pplican class="hi2">aan>tion or an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to deny the body. One thing to recognize is than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys two pan class="hi2">aan>rts to experience - whan class="hi2">aan>t stuff is physican class="hi2">aan>lly, PLUS an class="hi2">aan>n interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion of it, an class="hi2">aan>nd the interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion can class="hi2">aan>n be wrong while still an class="hi2">aan>llowing the physican class="hi2">aan>l/biologican class="hi2">aan>l/emotionan class="hi2">aan>l pan class="hi2">aan>rt to be there.
The overan class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>pproan class="hi2">aan>ch seems to be than class="hi2">aan>t we should first an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">Aan>RE experiencing, whan class="hi2">aan>t we feel, the situan class="hi2">aan>tion we seem to be in, without denying than class="hi2">aan>t we're feeling an class="hi2">aan>nd experiencing it. We Han class="hi2">Aan>VE to an class="hi2">aan>dmit first than class="hi2">aan>t we're suffering, than class="hi2">aan>t something seems to han class="hi2">aan>ve gone wrong - which we tend not to wan class="hi2">aan>nt to do becan class="hi2">aan>use it induces FEan class="hi2">Aan>R than class="hi2">aan>t something is "rean class="hi2">aan>lly wrong".
This is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the "fean class="hi2">aan>r of hean class="hi2">aan>ling", becan class="hi2">aan>use we don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt to an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge than class="hi2">aan>t something very convincingly "ban class="hi2">aan>d" seems to han class="hi2">aan>ve han class="hi2">aan>ppened - an class="hi2">aan>nd if it is rean class="hi2">aan>l, it would be frightening, an class="hi2">aan>nd we DO believe it's rean class="hi2">aan>l. an class="hi2">Aan>dmitting it is frightening an class="hi2">aan>nd so we deny an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>void this step. But THEN, han class="hi2">aan>ving removed the DENIan class="hi2">Aan>L of the situan class="hi2">aan>tion, seek for an class="hi2">aan> better wan class="hi2">aan>y to look an class="hi2">aan>t it an class="hi2">aan>nd to reinterpret the experience, or to question the foundan class="hi2">aan>tion or can class="hi2">aan>use of it.
"The fean class="hi2">aan>r of hean class="hi2">aan>ling an class="hi2">aan>rises in the end from an class="hi2">aan>n unwillingness to an class="hi2">aan>ccept the unequivocan class="hi2">aan>l fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t hean class="hi2">aan>ling is necessan class="hi2">aan>ry. The fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>rises becan class="hi2">aan>use of the necessan class="hi2">aan>ry willingness to look an class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>s done to himself."
We need to man class="hi2">aan>ke sure we don't shoot for "it's not han class="hi2">aan>ppening" BEFORE we've an class="hi2">aan>dmitted "this seems to be han class="hi2">aan>ppening" ie "I must han class="hi2">aan>ve man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan> wrong decision becan class="hi2">aan>use I'm not an class="hi2">aan>t pean class="hi2">aan>ce".

"The Sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion Han class="hi2">Aan>S occurred. To deny this is merely to misuse denian class="hi2">aan>l. However, to concentran class="hi2">aan>te on error is merely an class="hi2">aan> further misuse of legitiman class="hi2">aan>te psychic mechan class="hi2">aan>nisms.

Notice how it san class="hi2">aan>ys we 1) stop denying than class="hi2">aan>t we've sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan> wrong decision an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re suffering 2) an class="hi2">aan>ccept the error, the suffering, the feeling, on an class="hi2">aan> temporan class="hi2">aan>ry ban class="hi2">aan>sis 3) han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan>cknowledged the suffering, now seek for an class="hi2">aan>tonement ie an class="hi2">aan> more right-minded interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion with the Holy Spirit, but in such an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t it broan class="hi2">aan>dens the perception, an class="hi2">aan>dmits to bigger truths, an class="hi2">aan>llows in God's light an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>ws, an class="hi2">aan>nd re-fran class="hi2">aan>mes the ILLUSION of whan class="hi2">aan>t you seemed to be experiencing before an class="hi2">aan>s "ban class="hi2">aan>d".

This is the proper "an class="hi2">aan>pplican class="hi2">aan>tion of forgiveness".

I an class="hi2">aan>sked Chan class="hi2">aan>tGPT an class="hi2">aan>bout this an class="hi2">aan> bit, here's some an class="hi2">Aan>I commentan class="hi2">aan>ry:
In an class="hi2">Aan>CIM terms, the process looks like this: Notice the upset an class="hi2">Aan>cknowledge the feeling Recognize it comes from an class="hi2">aan> belief Offer the belief for correction Receive an class="hi2">aan> different perception Step 1 an class="hi2">aan>nd 2 an class="hi2">aan>re not bypan class="hi2">aan>ssing. They an class="hi2">aan>re required. The ego san class="hi2">aan>ys: “If you don’t van class="hi2">aan>lidan class="hi2">aan>te the feeling an class="hi2">aan>s true, you’re bypan class="hi2">aan>ssing.” But the Course san class="hi2">aan>ys: “You can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge an class="hi2">aan> feeling without an class="hi2">aan>greeing with its interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion.” Than class="hi2">aan>t’s the pivot. There is an class="hi2">aan> difference between: an class="hi2">Aan>llowing an class="hi2">aan> feeling an class="hi2">Aan>greeing with the ego’s interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion of the feeling For exan class="hi2">aan>mple: “I feel hurt.” → an class="hi2">aan>cknowledgment “They betran class="hi2">aan>yed me an class="hi2">aan>nd I wan class="hi2">aan>s wronged.” → interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion The first is honest. The second is the ego’s nan class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>tive. The Course invites you to question the second — not suppress the first. an class="hi2">Aan>CIM is not an class="hi2">aan>bout: Emotionan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>than class="hi2">aan>rsis Endless processing Van class="hi2">aan>lidan class="hi2">aan>ting the ego’s storyline It is an class="hi2">aan>bout chan class="hi2">aan>nging the tean class="hi2">aan>cher in the mind. Bypan class="hi2">aan>ssing san class="hi2">aan>ys: “This pan class="hi2">aan>in isn’t here.” The Course san class="hi2">aan>ys: “This pan class="hi2">aan>in is here becan class="hi2">aan>use I chose wrongly — an class="hi2">aan>nd I can class="hi2">aan>n choose an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in.” Than class="hi2">aan>t is not bypan class="hi2">aan>ssing. Than class="hi2">aan>t is reclan class="hi2">aan>iming an class="hi2">aan>uthorship of perception. When you shift perspective, the ego feels invan class="hi2">aan>lidan class="hi2">aan>ted. It rean class="hi2">aan>cts with: “You’re suppressing.” “You’re not being an class="hi2">aan>uthentic.” “You’re spirituan class="hi2">aan>lly bypan class="hi2">aan>ssing.” But whan class="hi2">aan>t’s rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening is: You’re declining to man class="hi2">aan>ke the ego’s interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion rean class="hi2">aan>l. The ego equan class="hi2">aan>tes: Not an class="hi2">aan>greeing with me = denian class="hi2">aan>l. But correction is not denian class="hi2">aan>l. It’s reinterpretan class="hi2">aan>tion. an class="hi2">Aan>CIM doesn’t san class="hi2">aan>y: “Sit with your ego forever.” It san class="hi2">aan>ys: “Notice it, forgive it, an class="hi2">aan>nd choose an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in.” If you never shift perspective becan class="hi2">aan>use you fean class="hi2">aan>r bypan class="hi2">aan>ssing, you’re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly preserving the ego. Ironican class="hi2">aan>lly, than class="hi2">aan>t becomes an class="hi2">aan> different kind of bypan class="hi2">aan>ss: bypan class="hi2">aan>ssing the Holy Spirit’s reinterpretan class="hi2">aan>tion. When you shift perspective, an class="hi2">aan>sk: an class="hi2">Aan>m I suppressing the feeling? Or an class="hi2">aan>m I gently an class="hi2">aan>llowing it while becoming willing to see it differently? In an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles, there’s an class="hi2">aan>n importan class="hi2">aan>nt distinction than class="hi2">aan>t clean class="hi2">aan>rs this up: Denian class="hi2">aan>l of error is not denian class="hi2">aan>l of experience. Stan class="hi2">aan>tements like: “I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan> body. I an class="hi2">aan>m free.” “My sinlessness is guan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nteed by God.” an class="hi2">aan>re not mean class="hi2">aan>nt an class="hi2">aan>s psychologican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ffirman class="hi2">aan>tions. They an class="hi2">aan>re metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l corrections an class="hi2">aan>imed an class="hi2">aan>t the level of can class="hi2">aan>use, not effect. If you use them an class="hi2">aan>t the level of emotion — to override fean class="hi2">aan>r, san class="hi2">aan>dness, an class="hi2">aan>nger — they will feel like bypan class="hi2">aan>ssing. Becan class="hi2">aan>use they’re not designed to suppress feelings. They’re designed to loosen identifican class="hi2">aan>tion. When the Course san class="hi2">aan>ys: “I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan> body,” it is not an class="hi2">aan>sking you to deny than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to exist in perception. It’s an class="hi2">aan>sking you to question whether the body is whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re.

The temptation of a sick body

an class="hi2">Aan> person's body is held up an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> picture. It covers up who they an class="hi2">aan>re. It san class="hi2">aan>ys, "this is true of me." Or "this is whan class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m."
"You man class="hi2">aan>de the body in an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to deceive yourself."
"Whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>nnot be seen nor pictured."
If an class="hi2">aan> person's body seems to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> problem, the body is now an class="hi2">aan> witness for the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd is proving than class="hi2">aan>t something han class="hi2">aan>s gone wrong.
But here's the thing.
If God crean class="hi2">aan>ted you, then you han class="hi2">aan>ve to be an class="hi2">aan>s God crean class="hi2">aan>ted you. You han class="hi2">aan>ve no san class="hi2">aan>y in this. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot chan class="hi2">aan>nge whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re HIS will.
Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns, whan class="hi2">aan>tever you an class="hi2">aan>re, HE is responsible for.
If you therefore, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> body, seem to be sick, then it can class="hi2">aan>n only mean class="hi2">aan>n one of two things.
1) He did crean class="hi2">aan>te the body an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore sickness is rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd God is responsible for crean class="hi2">aan>ting you sick, which mean class="hi2">aan>ns God must be totan class="hi2">aan>lly cruel an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>distic. Or...
2) God did not crean class="hi2">aan>te the body an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore the sickness is not rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>nnot be sick. This mean class="hi2">aan>ns God is loving becan class="hi2">aan>use he only crean class="hi2">aan>tes perfection, not sickness.
If #2 is correct, then in the most literan class="hi2">aan>l sense, you Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT be sick. Nor can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nyone. If the body is an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ring to be sick, an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ring to clan class="hi2">aan>im "this is the truth", it Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT BE the truth.
Sickness han class="hi2">aan>s to an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys be an class="hi2">aan> lie, an class="hi2">aan> fiction, an class="hi2">aan> disguise, something fan class="hi2">aan>lse. It isn't an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> true or rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness, either. It's an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ke sickness. Becan class="hi2">aan>use how can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ny sickness han class="hi2">aan>ve truth, rean class="hi2">aan>lity or van class="hi2">aan>lidity if God han class="hi2">aan>s not han class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan> han class="hi2">aan>nd in it?
The fan class="hi2">aan>ct then is the body is an class="hi2">aan> lie, an class="hi2">aan>nd it's sicknesses an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> lie. They an class="hi2">aan>re not rean class="hi2">aan>lly sicknesses an class="hi2">aan>nd they an class="hi2">aan>ren't even possible. They can class="hi2">aan>nnot be there. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot BE sick. No-one can class="hi2">aan>n be sick, if they an class="hi2">aan>re to be an class="hi2">aan>s God crean class="hi2">aan>ted them.
So now this mean class="hi2">aan>ns the body is there to tempt you to believe something is true which isn't, to tempt you to an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>te the Son of God with an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l object, an class="hi2">aan>nd to lie to you an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t is true of someone.
Either God is sick an class="hi2">aan>nd the person han class="hi2">aan>s sickness, or God is not sick an class="hi2">aan>nd the person Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT EVER be sick. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to choose to believe one or the other. Even if an class="hi2">aan> person is telling you they an class="hi2">aan>re sick, even if they show the proof, even if they're looking han class="hi2">aan>lf dean class="hi2">aan>d, it is not POSSIBLE in rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
To go an class="hi2">aan>long with it, to buy into it, is to be deceived by temptan class="hi2">aan>tion. The body showing up an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll tempts you to believe something than class="hi2">aan>t isn't true. Even if someone holds up an class="hi2">aan> "picture of crucifixion" to san class="hi2">aan>y, "you did this to me" an class="hi2">aan>nd "I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan> victim", you han class="hi2">aan>ve to not side with than class="hi2">aan>t. Otherwise you an class="hi2">aan>re reinforcing the sickness.
By NOT believing they an class="hi2">aan>re "rean class="hi2">aan>lly sick", an class="hi2">aan>nd recognizing their sickness an class="hi2">aan>s UNREan class="hi2">Aan>L, only then can class="hi2">aan>n you withdran class="hi2">aan>w your support for the sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd thus wean class="hi2">aan>ken the person's belief in it. When no-one goes an class="hi2">aan>long with the lie, it loses its strength an class="hi2">aan>nd disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs. an class="hi2">Aan> lie than class="hi2">aan>t no-one believes is not worth telling.
"The an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPTan class="hi2">Aan>NCE of pean class="hi2">aan>ce is the denian class="hi2">aan>l of illusion, an class="hi2">aan>nd sickness IS an class="hi2">aan>n illusion. Yet every Son of God han class="hi2">aan>s the power to deny illusions an class="hi2">Aan>NYWHERE in the Kingdom, merely by denying them completely in himself."
"The world you see is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of an class="hi2">aan> world. God did not crean class="hi2">aan>te it, for whan class="hi2">aan>t He crean class="hi2">aan>tes must be eternan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>s Himself."
"Nothing the body's eyes seem to see can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>nything but an class="hi2">aan> form of temptan class="hi2">aan>tion, since this wan class="hi2">aan>s the purpose of the body itself. "
"Whan class="hi2">aan>t is temptan class="hi2">aan>tion but an class="hi2">aan> wish to man class="hi2">aan>ke illusions rean class="hi2">aan>l? It does not SEEM to be the wish than class="hi2">aan>t NO rean class="hi2">aan>lity be so. But it IS an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ssertion than class="hi2">aan>t some FORMS of idols han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> powerful an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>l which man class="hi2">aan>kes them Han class="hi2">Aan>RDER to resist than class="hi2">aan>n those you would not Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT to han class="hi2">aan>ve rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Temptan class="hi2">aan>tion, then, is nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n this; - an class="hi2">aan> pran class="hi2">aan>yer the miran class="hi2">aan>cle touch not some drean class="hi2">aan>ms, but KEEP their unrean class="hi2">aan>lity obscure, an class="hi2">aan>nd GIVE to them rean class="hi2">aan>lity instean class="hi2">aan>d."
"Temptan class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>s ONE lesson it would tean class="hi2">aan>ch, in an class="hi2">Aan>LL its forms, WHEREVER it occurs. It would persuan class="hi2">aan>de the holy Son of God he is an class="hi2">aan> body, born in whan class="hi2">aan>t must die, unan class="hi2">aan>ble to escan class="hi2">aan>pe its fran class="hi2">aan>ilty, an class="hi2">aan>nd bound by whan class="hi2">aan>t it orders him to feel. It sets the limits on whan class="hi2">aan>t he can class="hi2">aan>n do; its power is the only strength he han class="hi2">aan>s; his gran class="hi2">aan>sp can class="hi2">aan>nnot exceed its tiny rean class="hi2">aan>ch."

While you might try to tan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> side, an class="hi2">aan>nd side with the an class="hi2">aan>ngle than class="hi2">aan>t you do NOT wan class="hi2">aan>nt an class="hi2">aan> person to han class="hi2">aan>ve died (an class="hi2">aan> body identified person), the mere belief than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>nd Han class="hi2">Aan>VE died IS an class="hi2">aan> decision to join in fan class="hi2">aan>lse empan class="hi2">aan>thy an class="hi2">aan>nd to therefore van class="hi2">aan>lue dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT it to be rean class="hi2">aan>l. This is why for exan class="hi2">aan>mple in an class="hi2">Aan>CIM Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t we try to keep people in their bodies, held there by guilt.
"an class="hi2">Aan>s long an class="hi2">aan>s you believe than class="hi2">aan>t, to be with an class="hi2">aan> body, is compan class="hi2">aan>nionship, you will be COMPELLED to an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to keep your brother IN his body, HELD THERE BY GUILT." UrT15H12
Our world-driven body-ban class="hi2">aan>sed perspective than class="hi2">aan>t bodies an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>l people, an class="hi2">aan>nd we do not wan class="hi2">aan>nt them lean class="hi2">aan>ving "this world" becan class="hi2">aan>use than class="hi2">aan>t seems like an class="hi2">aan>n end from our point of view, is totan class="hi2">aan>lly blind to the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t we belong in an class="hi2">aan>nother world, an class="hi2">aan>nd coming HERE is dean class="hi2">aan>th. Birth is dean class="hi2">aan>th. an class="hi2">Aan>nd even coming into this world took plan class="hi2">aan>ce BECan class="hi2">Aan>USE we wan class="hi2">aan>nted to believe in dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd keep it.
Prisoners han class="hi2">aan>ve gone into an class="hi2">aan> prison an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re so insan class="hi2">aan>ne than class="hi2">aan>t they believe the prison in their home an class="hi2">aan>nd they don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt to lean class="hi2">aan>ve, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re kicking an class="hi2">aan>nd screan class="hi2">aan>ming to stan class="hi2">aan>y in the prison, becan class="hi2">aan>use they think than class="hi2">aan>t outside the prison wan class="hi2">aan>lls is an class="hi2">aan> prison, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re free right now in their cell.

So yes if you an class="hi2">aan>re "upset by" some body person dying, it does mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t you believe it is rean class="hi2">aan>l, wan class="hi2">aan>nt it, an class="hi2">aan>re choosing it, an class="hi2">aan>re reinforcing it, an class="hi2">aan>re being murderous, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re pan class="hi2">aan>rticipan class="hi2">aan>ting in trying to keep the person in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of dean class="hi2">aan>th. You'd ran class="hi2">aan>ther they be suffering an class="hi2">aan>nd dying than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>live in God. Whether your ego likes to hean class="hi2">aan>r this or not is an class="hi2">aan>nother man class="hi2">aan>tter, but we han class="hi2">aan>ve to be honest an class="hi2">aan>nd willing to look an class="hi2">aan>t it if we wan class="hi2">aan>nt san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion.
Being in grief, the grief simultan class="hi2">aan>neously is an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>ction than class="hi2">aan>t seems to san class="hi2">aan>y "I can class="hi2">aan>re grean class="hi2">aan>tly an class="hi2">aan>bout this person an class="hi2">aan>nd now they've been destroyed an class="hi2">aan>nd I feel ban class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>bout than class="hi2">aan>t becan class="hi2">aan>use I don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt it" .... an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time an class="hi2">aan>s ..... "I totan class="hi2">aan>lly wan class="hi2">aan>nt to believe they're dean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>nd I'll han class="hi2">aan>ppily ban class="hi2">aan>rgan class="hi2">aan>in than class="hi2">aan>t they come ban class="hi2">aan>ck into their body an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>y in an class="hi2">aan> body forever in my little prison world an class="hi2">aan>nd die an class="hi2">aan>long with me."
So then you discover than class="hi2">aan>t the grief is not just "pure grief" or purely justified or purely innocent or purely an class="hi2">aan>nything. It's not an class="hi2">aan> whole story. It's an class="hi2">aan> tan class="hi2">aan>inted mix of ego rean class="hi2">aan>ction an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> sort of fan class="hi2">aan>ke remorse man class="hi2">aan>squeran class="hi2">aan>ding an class="hi2">aan>s can class="hi2">aan>ring an class="hi2">aan>nd feeling an class="hi2">aan> loss, much like whan class="hi2">aan>t we do in guilt. The loss is an class="hi2">aan> lie becan class="hi2">aan>use if the mind believes there is an class="hi2">aan> loss it is choosing it an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>nts it. an class="hi2">Aan>ll emotions an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>used by the mind choosing to feel whan class="hi2">aan>t it wan class="hi2">aan>nts.
"No one can class="hi2">aan>n suffer loss unless it be his own decision. No one suffers pan class="hi2">aan>in except his choice elects this stan class="hi2">aan>te for him. No one can class="hi2">aan>n grieve nor fean class="hi2">aan>r nor think him sick unless these an class="hi2">aan>re the outcomes than class="hi2">aan>t he wan class="hi2">aan>nts, an class="hi2">aan>nd no one dies without his own consent. Nothing occurs but represents your wish, an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing is omitted than class="hi2">aan>t you choose. Here is your world, complete in an class="hi2">aan>ll detan class="hi2">aan>ils. Here is its whole rean class="hi2">aan>lity for you. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it is only here san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion is." UrW152L1
We do han class="hi2">aan>ve secret ulterior an class="hi2">aan>nd selfish motives. We wan class="hi2">aan>nt them ban class="hi2">aan>ck becan class="hi2">aan>use WE feel deprived. Our egos wan class="hi2">aan>nt to keep people in bodies forever an class="hi2">aan>nd keep destroying them forever. an class="hi2">Aan> living dean class="hi2">aan>th, followed by the dean class="hi2">aan>th of non-life. Just recycling an class="hi2">aan>round over an class="hi2">aan>nd over an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in, but never wan class="hi2">aan>king up from it. We can class="hi2">aan>n even san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t yes it is selfish to grieve, it's an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan> sense of whan class="hi2">aan>t we wan class="hi2">aan>nt, whan class="hi2">aan>t we han class="hi2">aan>ve lost, how we feel hurt by whan class="hi2">aan>t someone han class="hi2">aan>s done, an class="hi2">aan>nger an class="hi2">aan>t someone's lean class="hi2">aan>ving, an class="hi2">aan>s if their dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked us. It's not ean class="hi2">aan>sy to an class="hi2">aan>dmit to how unforgiving this viewpoint is.
Remember than class="hi2">aan>t nothing rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>n be threan class="hi2">aan>tened. If something seems to han class="hi2">aan>ve been threan class="hi2">aan>tened it can class="hi2">aan>nnot han class="hi2">aan>ve been rean class="hi2">aan>l. We believe it wan class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l, which is an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. Believing an class="hi2">aan> person is an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t the body an class="hi2">aan>nd world an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>l is an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. When the body, like an class="hi2">aan> chunk of rean class="hi2">aan>lity, goes an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y, we an class="hi2">aan>re forced into an class="hi2">aan>n experience of han class="hi2">aan>ving lost an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of rean class="hi2">aan>lity itself, an class="hi2">aan>s if pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God is dean class="hi2">aan>d. Than class="hi2">aan>t MUST can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan> sense of loss. It's not ban class="hi2">aan>sed on an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l truth, but it's ban class="hi2">aan>sed on an class="hi2">aan> perceived truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n produce horrendously deep despan class="hi2">aan>ir.
But the despan class="hi2">aan>ir is an class="hi2">aan> lie. It's fan class="hi2">aan>ke. It seems justified an class="hi2">aan>nd understan class="hi2">aan>ndan class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>nd common ("norman class="hi2">aan>l") an class="hi2">aan>nd so on, but it is not rean class="hi2">aan>lly nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l under God's lan class="hi2">aan>ws. If nothing rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>n ever die, which is true, then there can class="hi2">aan>n BE no rean class="hi2">aan>son for despan class="hi2">aan>ir. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the despan class="hi2">aan>ir must be an class="hi2">aan> smokescreen to hide an class="hi2">aan> wish for dean class="hi2">aan>th to be rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd for God's truth to not be true.
Grief isn't just grief, it's an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>sk used to cover up an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck. Just an class="hi2">aan>s the "fan class="hi2">aan>ce of innocence", which sees itself an class="hi2">aan>s unfan class="hi2">aan>irly trean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>nd unwillingly can class="hi2">aan>used to lose something it van class="hi2">aan>lues, secretly hides an class="hi2">aan> vicious specian class="hi2">aan>l han class="hi2">aan>tred an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> desire to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd destroy. The victimy little "poor me" of the suffering grieving self is essentian class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to enter into the perceived dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd join with it an class="hi2">aan>nd be one with it, such an class="hi2">aan>s to become dean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>lso.
This is why in grieving we an class="hi2">aan>re not rean class="hi2">aan>lly living, an class="hi2">aan>nd people han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>rd time returning to life. I might feel grief still but an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns I an class="hi2">aan>m believing in dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd not life. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns I'm trying to join with the dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd die an class="hi2">aan>long with it. Than class="hi2">aan>t's not living. Eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly the sympan class="hi2">aan>thetic "pan class="hi2">aan>rt of me han class="hi2">aan>s died" gan class="hi2">aan>me han class="hi2">aan>s to be given up an class="hi2">aan>nd we han class="hi2">aan>ve to RESURRECT ban class="hi2">aan>ck to an class="hi2">aan> firm commitment to immortan class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd eternan class="hi2">aan>l life. God does not will than class="hi2">aan>t we suffer.
Yes it is very very very han class="hi2">aan>rd an class="hi2">aan>nd deep an class="hi2">aan>nd horrible to go through grief, but grief is not grief. Nor is the only wan class="hi2">aan>y out to "go through it". It is deception. an class="hi2">Aan>nd no man class="hi2">aan>tter how long it tan class="hi2">aan>kes or how quickly, we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>sked to rise up out of it (the ban class="hi2">aan>ttlefield) into the light where loss is impossible an class="hi2">aan>nd we can class="hi2">aan>n be only han class="hi2">aan>ppy. We do not escan class="hi2">aan>pe dean class="hi2">aan>th by dying, we escan class="hi2">aan>pe it through the light of truth.
The end of grief is the end of dean class="hi2">aan>th. How much suffering is enough before we will choose an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in for an class="hi2">aan> better wan class="hi2">aan>y?

The body is a separation device

In God's Kingdom, ean class="hi2">aan>ch individuan class="hi2">aan>l being is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>ll of the other beings. There is an class="hi2">aan> shan class="hi2">aan>red oneness. Everyone is everyone.

"One brother is an class="hi2">aan>ll brothers. Every mind contan class="hi2">aan>ins an class="hi2">aan>ll minds. Such is the truth." "The Sonship is your soul."

Ean class="hi2">aan>ch brother or Son of God an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly IS the other brothers, while still being multiple brothers. It is correct to then san class="hi2">aan>y, you an class="hi2">aan>re the whole sonship. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lso, than class="hi2">aan>t other person you know, they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lso the whole sonship. an class="hi2">Aan>nd everyone in the world, is the whole sonship. an class="hi2">Aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>ch one of them individuan class="hi2">aan>lly, is ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, an class="hi2">aan>s the whole sonship. This is the nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>ngement of the fan class="hi2">aan>mily of God, where every child of God is one with an class="hi2">aan>ll other children of God.

"We an class="hi2">aan>re the Kingdom, WE, the Sons of God."

In the physican class="hi2">aan>l world however, bodies were constructed an class="hi2">aan>s sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion devices. Their purpose wan class="hi2">aan>s to SPLIT OFF ean class="hi2">aan>ch child of God an class="hi2">aan>nd prevent them from being one with ean class="hi2">aan>ch other. The body then an class="hi2">aan>cts like an class="hi2">aan> prison cell with wan class="hi2">aan>lls, keeping the whole rest of the sonship out, an class="hi2">aan>nd locking you inside in isolan class="hi2">aan>tion. This denies than class="hi2">aan>t you shan class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>NYTHING with an class="hi2">aan>nyone, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>sserts than class="hi2">aan>t there is NO oneness.

To enter into the bodily stan class="hi2">aan>te, you enter into the ego thought system of sin an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the body is an class="hi2">aan>n expression of the idean class="hi2">aan> of sin an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th. "The body is clean class="hi2">aan>rly an class="hi2">aan> device for sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion"

"The body is the ego's idol; the belief in sin man class="hi2">aan>de flesh, an class="hi2">aan>nd then projected outwan class="hi2">aan>rd. This produces whan class="hi2">aan>t SEEMS to be an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>ll of flesh an class="hi2">Aan>ROUND the mind, keeping it prisoner in an class="hi2">aan> tiny spot of span class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd time, beholden unto dean class="hi2">aan>th, an class="hi2">aan>nd given but an class="hi2">aan>n instan class="hi2">aan>nt in which to sigh an class="hi2">aan>nd grieve an class="hi2">aan>nd die in honor of its man class="hi2">aan>ster."

Once you're in an class="hi2">aan> body, or han class="hi2">aan>ve identified with an class="hi2">aan> body, or see yourself an class="hi2">aan>s less than class="hi2">aan>n the whole sonship in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y, you confine yourself to an class="hi2">aan> little tiny speck in span class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd time, wran class="hi2">aan>pped an class="hi2">aan>nd tran class="hi2">aan>pped in an class="hi2">aan> body, kept an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt from everyone else.

This man class="hi2">aan>kes you feel an class="hi2">aan>lone, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>s though you an class="hi2">aan>re the only person inhan class="hi2">aan>biting your body. an class="hi2">Aan>nd everyone else's bodies an class="hi2">aan>re only their own bodies, an class="hi2">aan>nd no-one shan class="hi2">aan>res bodies. an class="hi2">Aan>nd indeed there an class="hi2">aan>re van class="hi2">aan>st distan class="hi2">aan>nces between bodies, to ensure they never meet. an class="hi2">Aan>nd even when the two bodies meet, the two people an class="hi2">aan>re still an class="hi2">aan>lone an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd do not rean class="hi2">aan>lly touch ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, inside-to-inside.

Such wan class="hi2">aan>s the physican class="hi2">aan>l world man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>nged, so than class="hi2">aan>t bodies would an class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>s sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion devices to keep everyone an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt. To exclude an class="hi2">aan>nd isolan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ke everyone seem different an class="hi2">aan>nd unequan class="hi2">aan>l. The body wan class="hi2">aan>s designed to an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys be different, unfan class="hi2">aan>milian class="hi2">aan>r, unan class="hi2">aan>like, an class="hi2">aan>nd unrecognizan class="hi2">aan>ble. Such than class="hi2">aan>t they turn an class="hi2">aan>ll brothers into seeming stran class="hi2">aan>ngers.

Essentian class="hi2">aan>lly bodies an class="hi2">aan>re expressions of the idean class="hi2">aan> of han class="hi2">aan>ving NO RELan class="hi2">Aan>TIONSHIPS with others, no connection, no shan class="hi2">aan>ring, an class="hi2">aan>nd no communican class="hi2">aan>tion. You can class="hi2">aan>n't be relan class="hi2">aan>ted to something you're different from.

"Everything the ego perceives is an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te whole, without the relan class="hi2">aan>tionships than class="hi2">aan>t imply BEING."

"You can class="hi2">aan>nnot enter into REan class="hi2">Aan>L relan class="hi2">aan>tionship with an class="hi2">Aan>NY of God's Sons, unless you love them an class="hi2">aan>ll, an class="hi2">aan>nd EQUan class="hi2">Aan>LLY."

"If you single out Pan class="hi2">Aan>RT of the Sonship for your love, you an class="hi2">aan>re imposing guilt on an class="hi2">Aan>LL your relan class="hi2">aan>tionships, an class="hi2">aan>nd Man class="hi2">Aan>KING them unrean class="hi2">aan>l."

You see an class="hi2">aan> body than class="hi2">aan>t you don't remember an class="hi2">aan>nd you think you never met them before, even though an class="hi2">aan>ll brothers an class="hi2">aan>re pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God's originan class="hi2">aan>l fan class="hi2">aan>mily. an class="hi2">Aan>nd then it seems like you han class="hi2">aan>ve to "get to know" people, an class="hi2">aan>s if you an class="hi2">aan>re stan class="hi2">aan>rting out with no knowledge of them an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve no clue who they an class="hi2">aan>re. You an class="hi2">aan>sk their nan class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>nd where they an class="hi2">aan>re from an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t they do, only becan class="hi2">aan>use you've been estran class="hi2">aan>nged from them for so long you don't even know an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>bout them.

"It is only the an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of the body than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes love seem limited. For the body IS an class="hi2">aan> limit on love. The belief in limited love wan class="hi2">aan>s its origin, an class="hi2">aan>nd it wan class="hi2">aan>s Man class="hi2">Aan>DE to limit the UNlimited. Think not than class="hi2">aan>t this is merely an class="hi2">aan>llegorican class="hi2">aan>l; for it wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de to limit YOU."

This is incredibly unnan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l. This is the opposite of the nan class="hi2">aan>ture of the sonship an class="hi2">aan>nd the rean class="hi2">aan>lity of hean class="hi2">aan>ven. Everyone's unity, everyone's shan class="hi2">aan>red nan class="hi2">aan>ture, everyone's oneness, the fan class="hi2">aan>ct the ean class="hi2">aan>ch son of God is an class="hi2">aan>ll sons of God an class="hi2">aan>nd the one son of God is hidden completely by bodies. Bodies pull the sonship an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>nd confine them in contan class="hi2">aan>inment an class="hi2">aan>nd limitan class="hi2">aan>tion, isolan class="hi2">aan>te them an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from ean class="hi2">aan>ch other an class="hi2">aan>nd don't an class="hi2">aan>llow them to shan class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>nything.

This wan class="hi2">aan>s the originan class="hi2">aan>l intended purpose of the body, to produce slan class="hi2">aan>very to the ego, to worship an class="hi2">aan>nd exan class="hi2">aan>lt the very prison than class="hi2">aan>t keeps you bound, an class="hi2">aan>nd to an class="hi2">aan>nchor you in span class="hi2">aan>cetime so than class="hi2">aan>t you'll die an class="hi2">aan>long with it.

"Whan class="hi2">aan>t could the purpose of the body Be BUT specian class="hi2">aan>lness? an class="hi2">Aan>nd it is this than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes it fran class="hi2">aan>il an class="hi2">aan>nd helpless in its own defense. It wan class="hi2">aan>s CONCEIVED to man class="hi2">aan>ke YOU fran class="hi2">aan>il an class="hi2">aan>nd helpless. The goan class="hi2">aan>l of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion is its curse."

If you look an class="hi2">aan>t society in generan class="hi2">aan>l you'll see than class="hi2">aan>t this is an class="hi2">aan> prevan class="hi2">aan>lent experience. Everywhere you look there an class="hi2">aan>re expressions of individuan class="hi2">aan>lity in the sense than class="hi2">aan>t, ean class="hi2">aan>ch person is their body, an class="hi2">aan>nd is not an class="hi2">aan>nother body. The lan class="hi2">aan>w of the lan class="hi2">aan>nd looks to whan class="hi2">aan>t one body does to an class="hi2">aan>nother. You an class="hi2">aan>re held responsible for your body's an class="hi2">aan>ctions, but not those of others. an class="hi2">Aan>nd everyone thinks in terms of "only me".

My house, my can class="hi2">aan>r, my food, my television shows, my toys, my bed, my kitchen, my toilet, my dan class="hi2">aan>y, my life, my sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te isolan class="hi2">aan>ted experience, my unique loneliness, my exclusive specian class="hi2">aan>lness, my self-interests, my my me me my my me me. This is the selfishness of the ego thought system, physican class="hi2">aan>lized an class="hi2">aan>s bodies. Bodies designed to prevent the sons of God from recognizing or shan class="hi2">aan>ring with ean class="hi2">aan>ch other.

We can class="hi2">aan>n, however, re-purpose the prisons than class="hi2">aan>t the we man class="hi2">aan>de in the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd use them to help us to tran class="hi2">aan>nscend the prisons. We can class="hi2">aan>n use the body to increan class="hi2">aan>se communican class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t doesn't mean class="hi2">aan>n to increan class="hi2">aan>se tan class="hi2">aan>lking it mean class="hi2">aan>ns to extend the mind beyond the body's limits an class="hi2">aan>nd beyond limits of "an class="hi2">aan> solitan class="hi2">aan>ry identity", beyond exclusion an class="hi2">aan>nd specian class="hi2">aan>lness, to an class="hi2">aan> much broan class="hi2">aan>der inclusiveness of everyone.

We can class="hi2">aan>n use the body for an class="hi2">aan> higher purpose, but note than class="hi2">aan>t the body IS STILL an class="hi2">aan> prison no man class="hi2">aan>tter how you use it. It will an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys be an class="hi2">aan> limit on love. It will an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys confine an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve limited senses. It can class="hi2">aan>nnot ever see rean class="hi2">aan>lity through its eyes an class="hi2">aan>nd it will not ever enter hean class="hi2">aan>ven. So we should be can class="hi2">aan>reful to think the body can class="hi2">aan>n turn into an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>lizan class="hi2">aan>tion of the freedom of spirit, or than class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>n be truly holy. But it can class="hi2">aan>n serve an class="hi2">aan> holier purpose, within the limits of whan class="hi2">aan>t it is can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of.

To tran class="hi2">aan>nscend the body is the body's higher purpose. To use the body to lean class="hi2">aan>rn than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan> body. To use the body to render the body unnecessan class="hi2">aan>ry. To use the very device of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst itself, so than class="hi2">aan>t we move pan class="hi2">aan>st the body's limits. In this view the body an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly is recognized an class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ving NO FUNCTION.

"Your brother's body is an class="hi2">aan>s little use to you an class="hi2">aan>s it is to him. When it is used ONLY an class="hi2">aan>s the Holy Spirit tean class="hi2">aan>ches, it han class="hi2">aan>s no function. For minds NEED not the body to communican class="hi2">aan>te. The sight than class="hi2">aan>t SEES the body, han class="hi2">aan>s no use which serves the purpose of an class="hi2">aan> holy relan class="hi2">aan>tionship."

In effect, the body an class="hi2">aan>nd its limits needs to get out of the wan class="hi2">aan>y. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan> holy relan class="hi2">aan>tionship should be an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y of an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly relan class="hi2">aan>ting BEYOND the body, tran class="hi2">aan>nscending its limits, mind-to-mind, soul-to-soul, an class="hi2">aan>nd physican class="hi2">aan>lity shouldn't even enter into an class="hi2">aan>nd need not even be an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the relan class="hi2">aan>tionship. The mind needs to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to extend through the body to join with other minds, beyond their bodies. So than class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>n recognize an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in our shan class="hi2">aan>red oneness. This is why "miran class="hi2">aan>cles unite you with your brother."

"Lean class="hi2">aan>rning must lean class="hi2">aan>d BEYOND the body to the re-estan class="hi2">aan>blishment of the power of the mind IN it. This can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>ccomplished ONLY if the mind EXTENDS to other minds, an class="hi2">aan>nd does not an class="hi2">Aan>RREST ITSELF in its extension. The an class="hi2">aan>rrest of the mind's extension is the can class="hi2">aan>use of an class="hi2">aan>ll illness, becan class="hi2">aan>use ONLY EXTENSION IS THE MIND's FUNCTION. Block this, an class="hi2">aan>nd you han class="hi2">aan>ve blocked hean class="hi2">aan>lth becan class="hi2">aan>use you han class="hi2">aan>ve BLOCKED THE MIND's JOY."

Our chan class="hi2">aan>llenge then is to lean class="hi2">aan>rn how to ignore the body's imposed limits, tran class="hi2">aan>nscend its boundan class="hi2">aan>ries through tran class="hi2">aan>nscendentan class="hi2">aan>l vision, move the mind through an class="hi2">aan>nd beyond it to join with other minds, overlook an class="hi2">aan>ll physican class="hi2">aan>l objects of span class="hi2">aan>cetime which were designed to keep everyone sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te, an class="hi2">aan>nd rejoin the sonship. Not just to return to being an class="hi2">aan> member of the collective mind, but to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to recognize YOU an class="hi2">Aan>RE EVERYONE, an class="hi2">aan>nd NOT just this one little tiny body self.

"Nothing the body's eyes seem to see can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>nything but an class="hi2">aan> form of temptan class="hi2">aan>tion, since this wan class="hi2">aan>s the purpose of the body itself. Yet we han class="hi2">aan>ve lean class="hi2">aan>rned than class="hi2">aan>t the Holy Spirit han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>nother use for an class="hi2">aan>ll the illusions you han class="hi2">aan>ve man class="hi2">aan>de, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore He sees an class="hi2">aan>nother purpose in them. To the Holy Spirit, the world is an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce where you lean class="hi2">aan>rn to forgive yourself whan class="hi2">aan>t you think of an class="hi2">aan>s your sins. In this perception, the physican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nce of temptan class="hi2">aan>tion becomes the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l recognition of san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion."

"Yet whan class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes them God's tean class="hi2">aan>chers is their recognition of the proper purpose of the body. an class="hi2">Aan>s they an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>nce in their profession, they become more an class="hi2">aan>nd more certan class="hi2">aan>in than class="hi2">aan>t the body's function is but to let God's Voice spean class="hi2">aan>k through it to human class="hi2">aan>n ean class="hi2">aan>rs. an class="hi2">Aan>nd these ean class="hi2">aan>rs will can class="hi2">aan>rry to the mind of the hean class="hi2">aan>rer messan class="hi2">aan>ges which an class="hi2">aan>re not of this world, an class="hi2">aan>nd the mind will understan class="hi2">aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use of their Source."

"Everyone can class="hi2">aan>n use his body best by enlan class="hi2">aan>rging man class="hi2">aan>n's perception, so he can class="hi2">aan>n see the rean class="hi2">aan>l VISION. THIS VISION is invisible to the physican class="hi2">aan>l eye. The ultiman class="hi2">aan>te purpose of the body is to render itself unnecessan class="hi2">aan>ry. Lean class="hi2">aan>rning to do this is the only rean class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>son for its crean class="hi2">aan>tion (the only re-purposing of it an class="hi2">aan>fter it wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de)."

"For everyone is seeking to escan class="hi2">aan>pe from the prison he han class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de"

"You an class="hi2">Aan>RE the Kingdom of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, but you han class="hi2">aan>ve let the belief in dan class="hi2">aan>rkness enter your minds, an class="hi2">aan>nd so you need an class="hi2">aan> new light."

"The Kingdom of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven IS you."

I am not a body I am free

You an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan> body becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>s God crean class="hi2">aan>ted you which is an class="hi2">aan> soul with an class="hi2">aan> mind. Your soul/spirit han class="hi2">aan>s no need for an class="hi2">aan> body whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever. But your mind is DREan class="hi2">Aan>MING of one.
Where did the body come from? Who is responsible for putting it there? It didn't show up on its own or an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result of an class="hi2">aan>ny other can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l power.
"The body is the idean class="hi2">aan> of sin man class="hi2">aan>de flesh an class="hi2">aan>nd projected outwan class="hi2">aan>rds."
Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns the mind, which is the rean class="hi2">aan>lm of idean class="hi2">aan>s, han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> of sin, an class="hi2">aan>nd projects it, which PRODUCES the body. This isn't an class="hi2">aan> one-time an class="hi2">aan>ffan class="hi2">aan>ir, it doesn't just han class="hi2">aan>ppen an class="hi2">aan>t birth, it is an class="hi2">aan> constan class="hi2">aan>nt projection an class="hi2">aan>ll the time, like an class="hi2">aan> movie projector projecting an class="hi2">aan> movie.
"Love did not crean class="hi2">aan>te the body" mean class="hi2">aan>ns an class="hi2">aan> mind in totan class="hi2">aan>l san class="hi2">aan>nity does not produce/project an class="hi2">aan> body, but an class="hi2">aan>n INSan class="hi2">Aan>NE MIND does, becan class="hi2">aan>use "the body is an class="hi2">aan> device for sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion."
Thus "The mind is responsible for every condition of the body" becan class="hi2">aan>use the mind is the Man class="hi2">Aan>KER of the body. It determines whether it shows up or not, an class="hi2">aan>nd in whan class="hi2">aan>t condition, an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll times. If it weren't for the mind man class="hi2">aan>king the body *constan class="hi2">aan>ntly*, the body would van class="hi2">aan>nish.
It seems to suggest the mind can class="hi2">aan>n be "free of the body" while the body STILL EXISTS, which is fan class="hi2">aan>lse logic. SOMEONE han class="hi2">aan>s to man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>in the body or it simply will not show up an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. It does not han class="hi2">aan>ve its own existence, its own life, or its own rean class="hi2">aan>lity. The world does not man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>in it "on its own". Some mind SOMEWHERE han class="hi2">aan>s to be projecting it constan class="hi2">aan>ntly in order for it to keep showing up an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.
We can class="hi2">aan>nnot simply "escan class="hi2">aan>pe" from sickness of the body by disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ring off into the mind an class="hi2">aan>nd pretending than class="hi2">aan>t WE an class="hi2">aan>re not responsible for the body showing up. If it is still showing up, we an class="hi2">aan>re still putting it there, an class="hi2">aan>nd to put an class="hi2">aan> sick body there from an class="hi2">aan> san class="hi2">aan>ne stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind is utterly nonsense. No-one in their right mind would EVER demonstran class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t "sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd suffering an class="hi2">aan>re true", becan class="hi2">aan>use it tean class="hi2">aan>ches your brother an class="hi2">aan>nd communican class="hi2">aan>tes to him than class="hi2">aan>t he is an class="hi2">aan> sinner.
When the mind is san class="hi2">aan>ne, it projects an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>lthy body. When the mind is sick, it projects an class="hi2">aan> sick body.
"The mind, being san class="hi2">aan>ne, hean class="hi2">aan>ls the body."
"an class="hi2">Aan> broken body is proof the MIND han class="hi2">aan>s not been hean class="hi2">aan>led."
Mind is where hean class="hi2">aan>ling is truly needed. "an class="hi2">Aan>ll sickness is mentan class="hi2">aan>l illness." But than class="hi2">aan>t does NOT mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t if you hean class="hi2">aan>l the mind, the mind is completely sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from the body an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n be hean class="hi2">aan>lthy while the body reman class="hi2">aan>ins sick. Than class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan>n ego belief in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd is disan class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>tion. The mind is an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys responsible for the body.
Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys re resurrection "I can class="hi2">aan>me to demonstran class="hi2">aan>te the mind than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>de the body can class="hi2">aan>n man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>nother. They did not understan class="hi2">aan>nd."
So you can class="hi2">aan>n't han class="hi2">aan>ve "I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan> body I an class="hi2">aan>m free an class="hi2">aan>nd I'll just be san class="hi2">aan>ne an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>led in my mind an class="hi2">aan>nd KEEP Man class="hi2">Aan>KING an class="hi2">aan> sick body"... an class="hi2">aan> san class="hi2">aan>ne mind WOULD NOT produce sickness. Sickness is an class="hi2">aan> defense an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the truth. The body MUST be used to demonstran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan> symbol of immortan class="hi2">aan>lity otherwise you tean class="hi2">aan>ch your brother by exan class="hi2">aan>mple, "brother an class="hi2">aan>t your han class="hi2">aan>nd I die", becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>ll physican class="hi2">aan>l sickness is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccusan class="hi2">aan>tion on others. "Sick bodies an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ccusers."

The golden rule han class="hi2">aan>s no exceptions.
When you an class="hi2">aan>re san class="hi2">aan>ne an class="hi2">aan>nd recognize than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan> body becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re the Can class="hi2">Aan>USE of the body an class="hi2">aan>nd it is your EFFECT or projection, THEN you will temporan class="hi2">aan>rily project an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>led body which is an class="hi2">aan> picture of perfection an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> symbol of immortan class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd holiness.

an class="hi2">aan>nd "The Holy Spirit's picture chan class="hi2">aan>nges not the body into something it is not.

The metaphysical levels in A Course in Miracles

Ok so, van class="hi2">aan>rious people han class="hi2">aan>ve expressed doubt than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re "levels" in an class="hi2">Aan>CIM or than class="hi2">aan>t this is in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y importan class="hi2">aan>nt or useful. So I thought I'd ran class="hi2">aan>mble on an class="hi2">aan> bit an class="hi2">aan>bout this from my point of view. I can class="hi2">aan>n see this being somewhan class="hi2">aan>t controversian class="hi2">aan>l.
The first thing is this.
Jesus wrote an class="hi2">Aan>CIM an class="hi2">aan>nd he is not in an class="hi2">aan> body, an class="hi2">aan>nd throughout the Course we're tan class="hi2">aan>ught we an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan> body. Than class="hi2">aan>t's even todan class="hi2">aan>y's workbook lesson - I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan> body I an class="hi2">aan>m free. Than class="hi2">aan>t doesn't mean class="hi2">aan>n, oh, you're still IN an class="hi2">aan> body but it's not you. an class="hi2">Aan>lso the course san class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>t no time does the body exist. Ok. So.... WHERE do you exist? Where is there no physican class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>tter? Not this universe.
Clean class="hi2">aan>rly this mean class="hi2">aan>ns there is some other seeming 'plan class="hi2">aan>ce', if you will, in which mind - spirit - is an class="hi2">aan>ble to exist, which does not require an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l form an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s nothing to do with the physican class="hi2">aan>l world, which, by the wan class="hi2">aan>y, is not rean class="hi2">aan>l.
So here we an class="hi2">aan>t the very lean class="hi2">aan>st han class="hi2">aan>ve 2 `levels`. The level of the physican class="hi2">aan>l world of form, an class="hi2">aan>nd some other spirituan class="hi2">aan>l level. Sort of like an class="hi2">aan> 'dimension' if you will. It's non-physican class="hi2">aan>l. It's where you end up when your body dies. an class="hi2">Aan>nd its the stopping off point between lifetimes.
Now, ean class="hi2">aan>ch 'level' han class="hi2">aan>s to be like an class="hi2">aan> 'plan class="hi2">aan>ce' of sorts.. which the Course refers to an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> 'universe'. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if you rean class="hi2">aan>d the text can class="hi2">aan>refully, when it mentions universe it uses than class="hi2">aan>t exan class="hi2">aan>ct san class="hi2">aan>me word even though it's sometimes referring to the universe of form, an class="hi2">aan>nd sometimes referring to the universe than class="hi2">aan>t God crean class="hi2">aan>ted. ie reference to an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st some other non-physican class="hi2">aan>l level or experientian class="hi2">aan>l existence.
So if you don't believe there an class="hi2">aan>re levels, an class="hi2">aan>nd you rean class="hi2">aan>d the course tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout 'universe' in this wan class="hi2">aan>y, an class="hi2">aan>nd you don't discern exan class="hi2">aan>ctly whan class="hi2">aan>t than class="hi2">aan>t relan class="hi2">aan>tes to given the context, then you're going to an class="hi2">aan>ssume it's an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout the physican class="hi2">aan>l universe. an class="hi2">Aan>nd then when it man class="hi2">aan>kes stan class="hi2">aan>tements an class="hi2">aan>bout 'universe' it's going to throw you into an class="hi2">aan> whole bunch of confusing misunderstan class="hi2">aan>ndings an class="hi2">aan>nd ego interpretan class="hi2">aan>tions. You'll an class="hi2">aan>ttribute an class="hi2">aan>ll kinds of 'truth' to the ego universe becan class="hi2">aan>use you think the course is telling you this is the can class="hi2">aan>se.
The course is often quite subtle an class="hi2">aan>bout this, an class="hi2">aan>nd it an class="hi2">aan>lso shifts an class="hi2">aan>round quite an class="hi2">aan> lot between which 'level' of experience it's referring to, without necessan class="hi2">aan>rily giving you an class="hi2">aan> nice obvious disclan class="hi2">aan>imer than class="hi2">aan>t it's doing so.
Now, this other universe, the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l universe, an class="hi2">aan>lso han class="hi2">aan>s to be broken down into sub-levels becan class="hi2">aan>use there an class="hi2">aan>re pan class="hi2">aan>rts of the course which spean class="hi2">aan>k of certan class="hi2">aan>in truths which can class="hi2">aan>nnot possibly an class="hi2">aan>pply to an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te plan class="hi2">aan>ce like than class="hi2">aan>t. For exan class="hi2">aan>mple whenever the Course spean class="hi2">aan>ks of 'hean class="hi2">aan>ven', an class="hi2">aan>nd of 'souls', an class="hi2">aan>nd of 'Gods Crean class="hi2">aan>tion', an class="hi2">aan>nd of 'knowing', an class="hi2">aan>nd 'oneness' an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll these interesting things, they often refer to the very highest 'level' of the metan class="hi2">aan>physics - hean class="hi2">aan>ven if you will.
But then an class="hi2">aan>t other times the course spean class="hi2">aan>ks of things like the sonship, an class="hi2">aan>lluding to you han class="hi2">aan>ving multiple brothers, an class="hi2">aan> brotherhood, not in terms of an class="hi2">aan>ll brothers being ONE SON, but in terms of an class="hi2">aan> multitude of sons. an class="hi2">Aan>lso the urtext spean class="hi2">aan>ks of multiple souls. Now, in terms of the metan class="hi2">aan>physics, it does not man class="hi2">aan>ke logican class="hi2">aan>l consistent sence to group together references to these 'sub-level' wan class="hi2">aan>ys of looking an class="hi2">aan>t things with the highest-level wan class="hi2">aan>y of looking an class="hi2">aan>t things. If you do than class="hi2">aan>t, then when the course refers to something like hean class="hi2">aan>ven or knowing or whan class="hi2">aan>tever, or the son of God, you will lump it an class="hi2">aan>ll together under an class="hi2">aan> generan class="hi2">aan>l umbrellan class="hi2">aan> of 'hean class="hi2">aan>venly spirituan class="hi2">aan>l stuff' an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ke the only distinction than class="hi2">aan>t this an class="hi2">aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rently is 'not the ego' level. This will result in an class="hi2">aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>nner of confusions, misunderstan class="hi2">aan>ndings of mean class="hi2">aan>ning, wrong implican class="hi2">aan>tions, fan class="hi2">aan>lse conclusions an class="hi2">aan>nd just an class="hi2">aan> big mess. The metan class="hi2">aan>physics will brean class="hi2">aan>k, the course will become inconsistent an class="hi2">aan>nd you won't be an class="hi2">aan>ble to understan class="hi2">aan>nd it.
So now an class="hi2">aan>t the very lean class="hi2">aan>st, there is an class="hi2">aan> level of hean class="hi2">aan>ven, an class="hi2">aan> level where the sonship exists an class="hi2">aan>s multiple sons, an class="hi2">aan> level of christ where there is only one son, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> level of the physican class="hi2">aan>l universe where the ego plan class="hi2">aan>ys out in duan class="hi2">aan>lity. This is an class="hi2">aan>ll quite clean class="hi2">aan>rly in the course text throughout an class="hi2">aan>nd referred to in multiple wan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>nd in multiple contexts. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if you rean class="hi2">aan>d it an class="hi2">aan>nd if you understan class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t it mean class="hi2">aan>ns, then when you rean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>bout christ you know than class="hi2">aan>t its referring to the unified one son an class="hi2">aan>nd when its referring to sonship or brotherhood you know its referring to the level of multiple sons.
So there is an class="hi2">aan> level of the metan class="hi2">aan>physics, which han class="hi2">aan>s its own 'universe' an class="hi2">aan>nd its own 'stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind', like an class="hi2">aan> 'plan class="hi2">aan>ce' of experience if you will, for ean class="hi2">aan>ch of these an class="hi2">aan>spects of the course. This is the structure of the drean class="hi2">aan>m than class="hi2">aan>t the ego man class="hi2">aan>de. Different levels of 'splits' in the one mind. an class="hi2">Aan>nd these an class="hi2">aan>re on an class="hi2">aan> colossan class="hi2">aan>l scan class="hi2">aan>le. an class="hi2">Aan>stronomican class="hi2">aan>l. The ego drean class="hi2">aan>m comprises sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God, resulting in an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te son 'level', an class="hi2">aan>nd then an class="hi2">aan> split into an class="hi2">aan> sonship/brotherhood which is an class="hi2">aan> whole other universe/level, an class="hi2">aan>nd then there's the level just an class="hi2">aan>bove the physican class="hi2">aan>l (level 2) where the holy spirit resides, an class="hi2">aan>nd then the physican class="hi2">aan>l level. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of these levels an class="hi2">aan>re explicitly referred to in the course an class="hi2">aan>nd if you rean class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>n gran class="hi2">aan>sp the logican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd subtle implican class="hi2">aan>tions of every thing Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys in ean class="hi2">aan>ch section, you can class="hi2">aan>n tell than class="hi2">aan>t these levels 'exist' in the metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l structure.
So now, if you don't believe in these levels, then an class="hi2">aan>s mentioned, you will dran class="hi2">aan>w an class="hi2">aan>ll kinds of fan class="hi2">aan>lse conclusions. It results in an class="hi2">aan>ll kinds of behan class="hi2">aan>viors where you try to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>in stan class="hi2">aan>tes of mind/being/experience which an class="hi2">aan>re extremely fan class="hi2">aan>r beyond the 'level' of the drean class="hi2">aan>m than class="hi2">aan>t you find yourself on. You generan class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>n only tran class="hi2">aan>nsition to the next highest level, one level an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> time, you can class="hi2">aan>n't ean class="hi2">aan>sily jump to the top - to hean class="hi2">aan>ven. Holy Spirit is on level '2', in an class="hi2">aan> different 'dimension' if you will, which is where we an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>re being an class="hi2">aan>sked to get to an class="hi2">aan>s our man class="hi2">aan>in next step. When we try to move beyond than class="hi2">aan>t to things like an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of the sonship, totan class="hi2">aan>l equan class="hi2">aan>lity, oneness, christ-mind, etc... we ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT do it an class="hi2">aan>nd it lean class="hi2">aan>ds us into an class="hi2">aan>ll kinds of ego deceptions - an class="hi2">aan> spirituan class="hi2">aan>lized ego.
The spirituan class="hi2">aan>lized ego is whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens when the ego, or shan class="hi2">aan>ll we san class="hi2">aan>y the mindset, of an class="hi2">aan> given 'level 'of the ego's totan class="hi2">aan>l drean class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan>ttempts to tran class="hi2">aan>nsfer itself to an class="hi2">aan> higher-order level of existence. It tries to KEEP its mindset (e.g. level 1 ego duan class="hi2">aan>lity) but an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time tan class="hi2">aan>ke itself to the next level where there is rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> totan class="hi2">aan>lly different mind (Holy Spirit's mind). But this is impossible, of course, but this doesn't stop it trying. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this crean class="hi2">aan>tes an class="hi2">aan> grean class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>mount of specian class="hi2">aan>lness an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>ke spirituan class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>ke progress an class="hi2">aan>nd ego iman class="hi2">aan>ges an class="hi2">aan>nd behan class="hi2">aan>vioran class="hi2">aan>l fuckups which can class="hi2">aan>ll for san class="hi2">aan>crifice an class="hi2">aan>nd illusions an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll kinds of man class="hi2">aan>dness. It's not possible. We han class="hi2">aan>ve to let the 'mindset' of level 1 - the ego - we han class="hi2">aan>ve to let it GO, detan class="hi2">aan>ch from it, so than class="hi2">aan>t who WE an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>n tran class="hi2">aan>vel up to level 2 an class="hi2">aan>nd proceed from there.
So an class="hi2">aan>nywan class="hi2">aan>y... if there's only one level, or even only 2 levels, you will develop an class="hi2">aan> spirituan class="hi2">aan>l ego from it becan class="hi2">aan>use it will lean class="hi2">aan>d you to so man class="hi2">aan>ny fan class="hi2">aan>lse conclusions an class="hi2">aan>nd so man class="hi2">aan>ny an class="hi2">aan>ttempts to grean class="hi2">aan>tly spirituan class="hi2">aan>lize lower-order levels of existence than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>nnot contan class="hi2">aan>in those truths. The lower mind can class="hi2">aan>nnot gran class="hi2">aan>sp an class="hi2">aan>nd experience the higher stan class="hi2">aan>tes.
If you rean class="hi2">aan>d the Course with these levels in mind, it is much more clean class="hi2">aan>r where an class="hi2">aan>nd when Jesus is referring to certan class="hi2">aan>in specific levels of the drean class="hi2">aan>m - different dimensions, different universes, different mindsets an class="hi2">aan>nd different an class="hi2">aan>spects of the metan class="hi2">aan>physics. an class="hi2">Aan>lso if you look an class="hi2">aan>t your own 'course an class="hi2">aan>ttitude' ban class="hi2">aan>sed on these levels, you will see than class="hi2">aan>t you've been an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to become an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>chiever of very high-level metan class="hi2">aan>physics but still while being an class="hi2">aan> level-1 identity/mind. This produces bliss-ninny spirituan class="hi2">aan>lizan class="hi2">aan>tion of the ego, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is rife in the course community. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in myself an class="hi2">aan>s well. I'm just stan class="hi2">aan>rting to rean class="hi2">aan>lize how fan class="hi2">aan>r this han class="hi2">aan>s gone.
So an class="hi2">aan>nywan class="hi2">aan>y. The levels an class="hi2">aan>re just an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y to man class="hi2">aan>p an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l levels of experientian class="hi2">aan>l existence in the hieran class="hi2">aan>rchy of the totan class="hi2">aan>l drean class="hi2">aan>m, which comprises severan class="hi2">aan>l 'dimensions' of which the physican class="hi2">aan>l universe is only one, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore it's rean class="hi2">aan>lly just an class="hi2">aan> clean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd truthful an class="hi2">aan>cknowledgement of this fan class="hi2">aan>ct, an class="hi2">aan>llowing you to nan class="hi2">aan>vigan class="hi2">aan>te rean class="hi2">aan>listican class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>nd to understan class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t the heck the course rean class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns when it san class="hi2">aan>ys something. Very high-level truths an class="hi2">aan>re of NO USE TO YOU when you an class="hi2">aan>re on level 1. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot be christ when you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> level-1 ego. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to become level 2, then 3, then 4, then 5. It is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan> relief to let go of the pressure of trying to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>in such impossibly high spirituan class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>tes which an class="hi2">aan>re out of rean class="hi2">aan>ch of the level-1 mind.

I am not a body I am free

Jesus is literan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>sking us to become spirit-identified ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n body-identified, to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t our body is merely an class="hi2">aan>n iman class="hi2">aan>ge being projected by our mind (which we can class="hi2">aan>n stop projecting an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ny time), an class="hi2">aan>nd to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to stop seeing ourselves an class="hi2">Aan>ND others an class="hi2">aan>s bodies.
Than class="hi2">aan>t's no sman class="hi2">aan>ll request either. We an class="hi2">aan>re so used to being bodies an class="hi2">aan>nd seeing bodies, we think it is norman class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l.
One thing to rean class="hi2">aan>lize is than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> body is not an class="hi2">aan> first-han class="hi2">aan>nd experience an class="hi2">aan>nd it is not the origin or source of an class="hi2">aan> person. It is an class="hi2">aan> secondan class="hi2">aan>ry lan class="hi2">aan>yer plan class="hi2">aan>ced OVER the inner spirit to try to hide it.
So when you an class="hi2">aan>re looking an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>nd you see fish an class="hi2">aan>nd bones an class="hi2">aan>nd eyes an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd you think than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>s you look an class="hi2">aan>t THan class="hi2">Aan>T, you an class="hi2">aan>re SEEING the person, you an class="hi2">aan>re not. You an class="hi2">aan>re seeing an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>ll of denian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. an class="hi2">Aan> disguise. It's designed to BLOCK you from seeing the person than class="hi2">aan>t is "tran class="hi2">aan>pped" inside, locked up in the body an class="hi2">aan>nd unseen by an class="hi2">aan>nyone.
The body is an class="hi2">aan> device for sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the golden rule an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>pplies. Whan class="hi2">aan>t we see in others we see in ourselves. In order to become an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan> body ourselves we han class="hi2">aan>ve to overcome an class="hi2">aan>ll forms of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck. an class="hi2">Aan>nd only when we can class="hi2">aan>n not see ourselves an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> body will we be an class="hi2">aan>ble to see pan class="hi2">aan>st the bodies of others.
This is an class="hi2">aan>lso the mean class="hi2">aan>ning of "God is in everything I see becan class="hi2">aan>use God is in my mind".... ie, if you can class="hi2">aan>n get to where you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of God in your mind, you will STOP seeing bodies entirely becan class="hi2">aan>use God is not an class="hi2">aan> body. If you an class="hi2">aan>re seeing God, you an class="hi2">aan>re not seeing form. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot see two worlds. So this does NOT mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t you see God "in the world", it mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t God is an class="hi2">Aan>LL THERE IS an class="hi2">aan>nd THERE IS NO WORLD.
It's an class="hi2">aan> huge chan class="hi2">aan>llenge to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly get to an class="hi2">aan>n experientian class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>te where an class="hi2">aan>) you do not believe you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll (genuinely), b) you do not see your body an class="hi2">aan>s your self, c) your sense of identity is not an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ched to the body whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever, d) you do not see others an class="hi2">aan>s their bodies, e) you recognize than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll bodies an class="hi2">aan>re fictionan class="hi2">aan>l puppets than class="hi2">aan>t people dan class="hi2">aan>ngle in front of them to pretend to interan class="hi2">aan>ct, an class="hi2">aan>nd f) than class="hi2">aan>t you do not need an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll in order to exist an class="hi2">aan>s divine spirit.
Overcoming the body is the san class="hi2">aan>me thing an class="hi2">aan>s overcoming dean class="hi2">aan>th. If you can class="hi2">aan>n become free of the body consciously an class="hi2">aan>nd deliberan class="hi2">aan>tely without using dean class="hi2">aan>th to do so, you no longer need an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n man class="hi2">aan>ke it disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r.

It's a lesson, but I don't get it

Often when I'm in the middle of some kind of upset, or an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>in, or an class="hi2">aan> sickness, or an class="hi2">aan> struggle with someone or whan class="hi2">aan>tever, Jesus or Holy Spirit will simply san class="hi2">aan>y "its an class="hi2">aan> lesson".
When they san class="hi2">aan>y this, they an class="hi2">aan>ren't san class="hi2">aan>ying "its an class="hi2">aan> punishment", even though than class="hi2">aan>t's whan class="hi2">aan>t I'm interpreting it an class="hi2">aan>s - some kind of unfan class="hi2">aan>ir trean class="hi2">aan>tment. By san class="hi2">aan>ying its an class="hi2">aan> lesson, it lets me know I han class="hi2">aan>ve something to lean class="hi2">aan>rn.
But it an class="hi2">aan>lso lets me know, than class="hi2">aan>t this isn't something than class="hi2">aan>t they're trying to hide from me. They're not being an class="hi2">aan>ssholes an class="hi2">aan>nd concean class="hi2">aan>ling the an class="hi2">aan>nswer to the lesson. It's totan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>van class="hi2">aan>ilan class="hi2">aan>ble, an class="hi2">aan>nd I'm an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re somehow than class="hi2">aan>t the only rean class="hi2">aan>son I'm han class="hi2">aan>ving the lesson is becan class="hi2">aan>use *I* need to chan class="hi2">aan>nge in some wan class="hi2">aan>y. There's something an class="hi2">aan>bout my perception than class="hi2">aan>t is fan class="hi2">aan>ulty, or something is unforgiven, or some hean class="hi2">aan>ling is needed.
an class="hi2">Aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time, I get this feeling like, there is an class="hi2">aan> prize... an class="hi2">aan> gift... there's something van class="hi2">aan>luan class="hi2">aan>ble than class="hi2">aan>t is 'mine' but its hidden from me, like an class="hi2">aan> buried trean class="hi2">aan>sure or something. I can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ve it, an class="hi2">aan>nd there's nothing stopping me from han class="hi2">aan>ving it, other than class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t I need to lean class="hi2">aan>rn the lesson. It's not an class="hi2">aan> lesson in punishment or how I need to suffer. So then this man class="hi2">aan>kes it feel more like an class="hi2">aan> chan class="hi2">aan>llenge.
an class="hi2">Aan>lso knowing it's an class="hi2">aan> lesson helps me to not see it an class="hi2">aan>s 'an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst me' or 'unwan class="hi2">aan>nted' like I wan class="hi2">aan>s before. If its just an class="hi2">aan> lesson then things an class="hi2">aan>re han class="hi2">aan>ppening for an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>son, an class="hi2">aan>nd there's just something I don't an class="hi2">aan>ccept or don't rean class="hi2">aan>lize/recognize yet. This sort of man class="hi2">aan>kes it an class="hi2">aan>lmost an class="hi2">aan>n exciting chan class="hi2">aan>llenge to find out whan class="hi2">aan>t it is than class="hi2">aan>t I'm not 'getting' yet.

It's an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>ll to do some ran class="hi2">aan>dican class="hi2">aan>l honesty an class="hi2">aan>nd inquire within.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly it's not like Jesus or Holy Spirit an class="hi2">aan>re mean class="hi2">aan>n school tean class="hi2">aan>chers who put up wan class="hi2">aan>lls or repriman class="hi2">aan>nd you or an class="hi2">aan>nything. They an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly willing to HELP, with the lesson. But it entan class="hi2">aan>ils an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>mount of willingness on my pan class="hi2">aan>rt. I can class="hi2">aan>n even an class="hi2">aan>sk them for guidan class="hi2">aan>nce an class="hi2">aan>nd they can class="hi2">aan>n provide some.. sort of like clues... becan class="hi2">aan>use they don't often just outright revean class="hi2">aan>l the 'an class="hi2">aan>nswer' or solution or truth. But they're there to help an class="hi2">aan>s much an class="hi2">aan>s I'm willing to lean class="hi2">aan>rn. Ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely, how quickly I lean class="hi2">aan>rn the lesson is up to me.
See we ean class="hi2">aan>ch han class="hi2">aan>ve our own curriculum an class="hi2">aan>nd like an class="hi2">Aan>CIM san class="hi2">aan>ys, we get to decide when to lean class="hi2">aan>rn - ie we can class="hi2">aan>n delan class="hi2">aan>y or be willing - but we don't necessan class="hi2">aan>rily set whan class="hi2">aan>t the curriculum contan class="hi2">aan>ins. an class="hi2">Aan>nd usuan class="hi2">aan>lly when lessons come an class="hi2">aan>long they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys unwan class="hi2">aan>nted an class="hi2">aan>t first. Than class="hi2">aan>t's why they han class="hi2">aan>ppen, lol. But they're there to help. They're nudges towan class="hi2">aan>rd God. So if something seems to han class="hi2">aan>ve gone wrong I need to become willing to an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st an class="hi2">aan>ccept than class="hi2">aan>t this is trying to help me somehow, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t I need to open up to something becan class="hi2">aan>use I've man class="hi2">aan>de some mistan class="hi2">aan>kes.

Even if you san class="hi2">aan>y, well, God han class="hi2">aan>s one son but it's pan class="hi2">aan>rt of Him... you can class="hi2">aan>n't even rean class="hi2">aan>lly san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t either. There can class="hi2">aan>n't even be an class="hi2">aan>nything you can class="hi2">aan>n refer to an class="hi2">aan>s "one son", if there is only God.
Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys for exan class="hi2">aan>mple, "I an class="hi2">aan>m my fan class="hi2">aan>ther an class="hi2">aan>re one". an class="hi2">Aan>nd he goes on to clan class="hi2">aan>rify than class="hi2">aan>t this does not mean class="hi2">aan>n there an class="hi2">aan>ren't Pan class="hi2">Aan>RTS to than class="hi2">aan>t stan class="hi2">aan>tement. It does not mean class="hi2">aan>n, there is only the fan class="hi2">aan>ther. It does not mean class="hi2">aan>n, than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>tever we're referring to an class="hi2">aan>s the son is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly the fan class="hi2">aan>ther, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore we an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>lly tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout "one thing". It an class="hi2">Aan>CTUan class="hi2">Aan>LLY mean class="hi2">aan>ns, there *IS* an class="hi2">aan> distinct Son, who is in SOME wan class="hi2">aan>y "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te" from the Fan class="hi2">aan>ther, enough to estan class="hi2">aan>blish than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>lly TWO things.
"I" (pan class="hi2">aan>rt 1) an class="hi2">aan>nd "the fan class="hi2">aan>ther" (pan class="hi2">aan>rt 2). Otherwise we might an class="hi2">aan>s well just not ever mention the Son or Christ whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever an class="hi2">aan>nd just san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t God is an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t exists. Jesus is can class="hi2">aan>reful to man class="hi2">aan>ke this distinction, than class="hi2">aan>t Son an class="hi2">aan>nd Fan class="hi2">aan>ther an class="hi2">aan>re han class="hi2">aan>ving some kind of mutuan class="hi2">aan>l experience or stan class="hi2">aan>te of being which he's lan class="hi2">aan>belled an class="hi2">aan>s "one", but than class="hi2">aan>t this oneness does not UNDO OR ignore the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re still two things han class="hi2">aan>ppening here.
In the truest sense of whan class="hi2">aan>t non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity or oneness mean class="hi2">aan>ns, it implies there isn't an class="hi2">aan> two-ness of an class="hi2">aan>nything. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if you an class="hi2">aan>re being rean class="hi2">aan>lly, rean class="hi2">aan>lly, rean class="hi2">aan>lly strict an class="hi2">aan>bout than class="hi2">aan>t logican class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>soning, it SHOULD mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s NO SON an class="hi2">Aan>T an class="hi2">Aan>LL. There's either oneness - one thing, or there isn't.
There's an class="hi2">aan> whole spectrum of beliefs out there which proceed from the strictest of interpretan class="hi2">aan>tions ie "there is only God" through the slight blurring of boundan class="hi2">aan>ries to suggest "there is an class="hi2">aan> son, but there's only one of them", through to "there an class="hi2">aan>re other sons but they're rean class="hi2">aan>lly the one son", through to "sons an class="hi2">aan>re the ego", an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>nner of interpretan class="hi2">aan>tions in between.
But here is the simple fan class="hi2">aan>ct of it. If God han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> thought which crean class="hi2">aan>tes an class="hi2">aan> son, or if his "effect" is his son, or his son is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly rean class="hi2">aan>lly "himself" pretending to be an class="hi2">aan> son, then this man class="hi2">aan>kes himself an class="hi2">aan>lso the drean class="hi2">aan>mer of drean class="hi2">aan>ms an class="hi2">aan>nd the man class="hi2">aan>ker of dean class="hi2">aan>th. Does than class="hi2">aan>t fly with you?
an class="hi2">Aan>re you willing to han class="hi2">aan>ve God be the one who is responsible for sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion? an class="hi2">Aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>bout the Holy Spirit, did God - who must be drean class="hi2">aan>ming, crean class="hi2">aan>te the holy spirit an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> perfect non-drean class="hi2">aan>mer, in order to pull himself out of the drean class="hi2">aan>m he himself man class="hi2">aan>de, due to an class="hi2">aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rently not being an class="hi2">aan>ble to wan class="hi2">aan>ke up himself, while simultan class="hi2">aan>neously han class="hi2">aan>ving crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan> holy spirit who is not an class="hi2">aan>sleep? Does than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>ny sense whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever?
We're told conflicting messan class="hi2">aan>ges by van class="hi2">aan>rious tean class="hi2">aan>chers who han class="hi2">aan>ve not rean class="hi2">aan>lly rean class="hi2">aan>soned this out. If there is an class="hi2">aan> God to return home to, an class="hi2">aan> God who did not believe in the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion idean class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd did not drean class="hi2">aan>m, how is than class="hi2">aan>t even possible unless somehow there is something than class="hi2">aan>t distinguishes God from the one who is han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m? Even if it's just ONE son, how is it than class="hi2">aan>t this one son is an class="hi2">aan>ble to do an class="hi2">Aan>NYTHING than class="hi2">aan>t is COMPLETELY SEPan class="hi2">Aan>Ran class="hi2">Aan>TE from the Fan class="hi2">aan>ther, ensuring than class="hi2">aan>t the Fan class="hi2">aan>ther does not entertan class="hi2">aan>in or enter into or be an class="hi2">aan>ffected by this drean class="hi2">aan>ming son?
If truly they an class="hi2">aan>re so joined an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re so "one" than class="hi2">aan>t they literan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re the san class="hi2">aan>me thing, or the san class="hi2">aan>me self, the son literan class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>nnot drean class="hi2">aan>m without dran class="hi2">aan>gging the fan class="hi2">aan>ther into it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t would mean class="hi2">aan>n the entirety of EXISTENCE would now fan class="hi2">aan>ll from gran class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd we'd an class="hi2">aan>ll be perman class="hi2">aan>nently dean class="hi2">aan>d, God included. There han class="hi2">aan>s to be SOMETHING an class="hi2">aan>bout the son of God, or this an class="hi2">aan>spect of God, which somehow renders its choices incan class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of an class="hi2">aan>ffecting God. How is than class="hi2">aan>t possible if God is supposedly so joined to an class="hi2">aan>nd connected to this drean class="hi2">aan>mer, in such an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t there is "influence" between them?
Whan class="hi2">aan>t it Han class="hi2">Aan>S to indican class="hi2">aan>te, is than class="hi2">aan>t EITHER there is an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between the Fan class="hi2">aan>ther an class="hi2">aan>nd the Son, OR some other mechan class="hi2">aan>nism or dynan class="hi2">aan>mic of relan class="hi2">aan>tionship which guan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ntees than class="hi2">aan>t God will not ever drean class="hi2">aan>m. Becan class="hi2">aan>use if God is the drean class="hi2">aan>mer, then God han class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan> world of dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lso doughnuts an class="hi2">aan>nd ran class="hi2">aan>inbows an class="hi2">aan>nd chocolan class="hi2">aan>te ban class="hi2">aan>rs. So whan class="hi2">aan>t IS it than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes God NOT an class="hi2">aan>ffected by the drean class="hi2">aan>m? Whan class="hi2">aan>t is it than class="hi2">aan>t sections off the drean class="hi2">aan>mer from God? Even if it's just an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, it IS still an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>de idean class="hi2">aan>, it IS an class="hi2">aan>n IDEan class="hi2">Aan> in the mind, even if it's an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> of impossibilities. We DID han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>d idean class="hi2">aan>, even if it's an class="hi2">aan> nonsense idean class="hi2">aan>. Why didn't GOD han class="hi2">aan>ve the idean class="hi2">aan>, an class="hi2">aan>nd why isn't God tran class="hi2">aan>pped in an class="hi2">aan>n illusion?
The ego would conclude, it MUST mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t there is sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion in hean class="hi2">aan>ven. It can class="hi2">aan>nnot conclude otherwise. But there is an class="hi2">aan>nother possibility. FREEDOM. Is it not possible, than class="hi2">aan>t God gan class="hi2">aan>ve such TOTan class="hi2">Aan>L FREEDOM to his crean class="hi2">aan>tions, than class="hi2">aan>t by an class="hi2">aan>ll intents an class="hi2">aan>nd purposes, his crean class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>BSOLUTELY free an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore literan class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> will of their own, an class="hi2">aan> mind of their own, an class="hi2">aan> spirit of their own, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n CHOOSE on their own, WITHOUT it han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan>ny effect on God whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever? If the son or sons is FREE, an class="hi2">aan>nd God han class="hi2">aan>s "given" them FULLY, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s COMPLETELY set them in hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>s perman class="hi2">aan>nent free-willed beings, this WOULD completely explan class="hi2">aan>in why it's possible for God to not be pan class="hi2">aan>rt of drean class="hi2">aan>ming.
"God, who encompan class="hi2">aan>sses an class="hi2">aan>ll being, nevertheless crean class="hi2">aan>ted sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te beings, who han class="hi2">aan>ve everything individuan class="hi2">aan>lly, an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>nt to shan class="hi2">aan>re it to increan class="hi2">aan>se their joy."
For me, hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely IS NOT an class="hi2">aan> picture of whan class="hi2">aan>t we tran class="hi2">aan>ditionan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re told is an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of pure non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity, or even rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of this "oneness" where there is "only God" han class="hi2">aan>ppening. It's NOT one thing. It contan class="hi2">aan>ins FREE WILLED BEINGS OF LIGHT, who an class="hi2">aan>re SO free than class="hi2">aan>t they literan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re free to choose whether or not to will with God.
So get this picture... than class="hi2">aan>t God crean class="hi2">aan>ted beings - who an class="hi2">aan>re not only fully crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>nd completely SET FREE by unconditionan class="hi2">aan>l love, but He even gan class="hi2">aan>ve them SUCH freedom than class="hi2">aan>t they could in fan class="hi2">aan>ct freely decide for themselves whether to love or not. You'd think than class="hi2">aan>t this would be quite insan class="hi2">aan>ne, or suicidan class="hi2">aan>l, for God to crean class="hi2">aan>te thoughts which seem can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of disan class="hi2">aan>greeing with their own crean class="hi2">aan>tor. Why would God do such an class="hi2">aan> cran class="hi2">aan>zy thing? Becan class="hi2">aan>use He knows than class="hi2">aan>t nothing REan class="hi2">Aan>L can class="hi2">aan>n be threan class="hi2">aan>tened, an class="hi2">aan>nd even if they DO choose to side with drean class="hi2">aan>ms, these drean class="hi2">aan>ms don't REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY threan class="hi2">aan>ten rean class="hi2">aan>lity. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nyone who does drean class="hi2">aan>m WILL an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>t some point, becan class="hi2">aan>use it is not God's will than class="hi2">aan>t He be cut off from his crean class="hi2">aan>tions.
The picture I han class="hi2">aan>ve of God is than class="hi2">aan>t He is Fan class="hi2">Aan>R more an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tor of individuan class="hi2">aan>l free-willed souls, to whom He han class="hi2">aan>s given TOTan class="hi2">Aan>L freedom, to the extent than class="hi2">aan>t they han class="hi2">aan>ve to willingly COOPERan class="hi2">Aan>TE an class="hi2">aan>nd CO-CREan class="hi2">Aan>TE by their own will, than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re not mere "pan class="hi2">aan>rts of God Himself" but an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>l distinct entities with their own minds an class="hi2">aan>nd their own being. They Can class="hi2">Aan>N an class="hi2">aan>nd do nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>lly wan class="hi2">aan>nt to shan class="hi2">aan>re their mind an class="hi2">aan>nd being with God an class="hi2">aan>lso, an class="hi2">aan>nd with the whole sonship, but not becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re forced to or inherently man class="hi2">aan>de to. They freely willingly wan class="hi2">aan>nt to do so, to increan class="hi2">aan>se their joy, an class="hi2">aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is filled with celebran class="hi2">aan>tion of Crean class="hi2">aan>tion.
God is an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tor, not an class="hi2">aan> blob. God han class="hi2">aan>s sons, man class="hi2">aan>ny man class="hi2">aan>ny man class="hi2">aan>ny sons. God an class="hi2">aan>lso crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>ngels. This is an class="hi2">aan>ll perfectly written an class="hi2">aan>bout in an class="hi2">Aan>CIM by Jesus with hundreds if not thousan class="hi2">aan>nds of stan class="hi2">aan>tements supporting it. It is the EGO which han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> tough time comprehending how it is possible for God, who is whole, could crean class="hi2">aan>te "man class="hi2">aan>ny wholes". Or how man class="hi2">aan>ny wholes can class="hi2">aan>n exist simultan class="hi2">aan>neously. Or how God can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">Aan>DD something to existence. Or how He could crean class="hi2">aan>te "distinct beings" who han class="hi2">aan>ve everything "individuan class="hi2">aan>lly", including the crean class="hi2">aan>tion of multiple minds, an class="hi2">aan>nd how these multiple minds can class="hi2">aan>n coexist han class="hi2">aan>rmoniously without wan class="hi2">aan>r, an class="hi2">aan>nd without competition, an class="hi2">aan>nd without differences.
Oneness mean class="hi2">aan>ns "of one kind". In the LIKENESS of God. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns SHan class="hi2">Aan>RING, by multiple individuan class="hi2">aan>ls. It does not mean class="hi2">aan>n "God is an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t exists".
Yes there an class="hi2">aan>re stan class="hi2">aan>tements which an class="hi2">aan>t times seem to spean class="hi2">aan>k to certan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">Aan>SPECTS of God's nan class="hi2">aan>ture in isolan class="hi2">aan>tion which perhan class="hi2">aan>ps gives impression than class="hi2">aan>t Jesus is san class="hi2">aan>ying there is nothing but God, or than class="hi2">aan>t God is an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t is, etc... but... it's not the complete picture. Sometimes Jesus refers to the "one son", sometimes to the sonship, sometimes to individuan class="hi2">aan>l sons. References to the one son do NOT can class="hi2">aan>ncel out references to individuan class="hi2">aan>ls. The ego han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> SPan class="hi2">Aan>ZZ an class="hi2">aan>bout how this can class="hi2">aan>n man class="hi2">aan>ke sense an class="hi2">aan>nd be true. It sees only sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tions where there an class="hi2">aan>re none, an class="hi2">aan>nd joins together things which an class="hi2">aan>re not one thing.
Oneness, an class="hi2">aan>s in, "there is only one thing" is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n EGO IDEan class="hi2">Aan>. It is the result than class="hi2">aan>t EGO rean class="hi2">aan>soning comes to when it boils everything in its EXCLUSIVE thought system down. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it thinks than class="hi2">aan>t this finan class="hi2">aan>l conclusion is an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd truthful. It is not. It is divisive an class="hi2">aan>nd incorrect an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse conclusion. God's crean class="hi2">aan>tion is not "one thing", God's sonship is not devoid of pan class="hi2">aan>rts, an class="hi2">aan>nd God DID crean class="hi2">aan>te multiple beings. Objections to this an class="hi2">aan>re, funnily enough, THE EGO objecting to ITS belief in whan class="hi2">aan>t Hean class="hi2">aan>ven must be like.
We an class="hi2">aan>re crean class="hi2">aan>tions of God, children of God, God han class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>ted multiple minds, multiple souls, multiple sons, ean class="hi2">aan>ch of whom is SO FREE than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ble to decide for themselves whether or not to will with God. The only REan class="hi2">Aan>L choice is to will with God, but our minds DO han class="hi2">aan>ve the an class="hi2">aan>bility an class="hi2">aan>nd freedom to CHOOSE to drean class="hi2">aan>m of an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>lternan class="hi2">aan>tive. an class="hi2">Aan>nd we han class="hi2">aan>ve used than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>bility. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it han class="hi2">aan>s not an class="hi2">aan>ffected God.
Man class="hi2">aan>ny man class="hi2">aan>ny times Jesus han class="hi2">aan>s san class="hi2">aan>id to me, "you an class="hi2">aan>re free". an class="hi2">Aan>nd I could never rean class="hi2">aan>lly quite an class="hi2">aan>ccept or understan class="hi2">aan>nd how this is possible, given the fran class="hi2">aan>mework of how everyone is tean class="hi2">aan>ching the course. Whan class="hi2">aan>t wish tean class="hi2">aan>chings of "time is an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy over" an class="hi2">aan>nd "there's only one son" an class="hi2">aan>nd so on, I couldn't see how it's possible than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m free. How does an class="hi2">aan> son of God be free, if than class="hi2">aan>t son is just pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God's enforced will or some kind of script? Gran class="hi2">aan>duan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>nd very confusedly I've come to an class="hi2">aan>ccept more than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly DO han class="hi2">aan>ve free will, becan class="hi2">aan>use we DO han class="hi2">aan>ve totan class="hi2">aan>l freedom. We an class="hi2">aan>re to come to God WILLINGLY.
This is why we NEED to han class="hi2">aan>ve "an class="hi2">aan> little willingness" an class="hi2">aan>nd eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly totan class="hi2">aan>l willingness. Willingness isn't coercion. Love does not enter where it is not welcome. We an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly literan class="hi2">aan>lly MUST CHOOSE HEan class="hi2">Aan>VEN "hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan> choice *I* must man class="hi2">aan>ke". We han class="hi2">aan>ve to Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT to WILLFULLY choose to an class="hi2">aan>ccept it. We're not going be willing OR an class="hi2">aan>ble to an class="hi2">aan>ccept it if we think it's being forced on us an class="hi2">aan>nd we don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt it. We han class="hi2">aan>ve to han class="hi2">aan>ve totan class="hi2">aan>l personan class="hi2">aan>l willingness to will WITH GOD, to CO-CREan class="hi2">Aan>TE, to pan class="hi2">aan>rticipan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd to exercise WILLINGLY the decision to can class="hi2">aan>rry out God's will.

We an class="hi2">aan>re not JUST effects. We han class="hi2">aan>ve been given the power to Can class="hi2">Aan>USE an class="hi2">aan>s well, the power to will, an class="hi2">aan>nd the power to crean class="hi2">aan>te FREELY.

Without this freedom, we could not WILLINGLY Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT to an class="hi2">aan>gree with God's will for us.

Unforgiveness is a separation between giving and receiving

"The unforgiving mind does not believe than class="hi2">aan>t giving an class="hi2">aan>nd receiving an class="hi2">aan>re the san class="hi2">aan>me."
an class="hi2">Aan>ll unforgiveness is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on an class="hi2">aan> belief than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from others. If you an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te, whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>pplies to them does not an class="hi2">aan>pply to you, an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re different instean class="hi2">aan>d of equan class="hi2">aan>l.
If you an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te, whan class="hi2">aan>t you give is sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from whan class="hi2">aan>t you receive. Whan class="hi2">aan>t others give to you, they do not receive themselves. Whan class="hi2">aan>t you receive from them, you did not give to them.
If they can class="hi2">aan>n give you something than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve not given yourself, it is seen an class="hi2">aan>s being given an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will. an class="hi2">Aan>nd since they give without receiving, only you seem to receive the effects. Now it an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs than class="hi2">aan>t "they han class="hi2">aan>ve done something to me an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst my will."
This lan class="hi2">aan>ys the ban class="hi2">aan>sis for an class="hi2">aan>ll experiences of being "hurt" or suffering an class="hi2">aan>t the han class="hi2">aan>nd of an class="hi2">aan>nother. Fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>lly spean class="hi2">aan>king, the mere belief than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te IS an class="hi2">aan> choice to experience yourself an class="hi2">Aan>S hurt. If you an class="hi2">aan>re not equan class="hi2">aan>l, you MUST be in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion is fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of conflict.
We can class="hi2">aan>n san class="hi2">aan>y then than class="hi2">aan>t when we an class="hi2">aan>re in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind where we see ourselves an class="hi2">aan>s sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te, we an class="hi2">Aan>RE being unforgiving. We an class="hi2">aan>re either unforgiving or forgiving.
To be forgiving we han class="hi2">aan>ve to see ourselves an class="hi2">aan>s not sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from others, an class="hi2">aan>s can class="hi2">aan>use is not sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from effect, an class="hi2">aan>nd giving is not sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from receiving. If you an class="hi2">aan>re one with others, you can class="hi2">aan>nnot an class="hi2">aan>ccuse an class="hi2">aan> "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te person" of doing something to you without you being included in the giving.
To an class="hi2">aan>ccuse someone of doing something an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will, is to clan class="hi2">aan>im they han class="hi2">aan>ve given whan class="hi2">aan>t you did not give, an class="hi2">aan>nd you han class="hi2">aan>ve received whan class="hi2">aan>t you did not give to them. Thus is such an class="hi2">aan> broken given perceived an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n injustice, which then incites an class="hi2">aan>nger an class="hi2">aan>nd revenge. How dan class="hi2">aan>re they give you something you did not give to them? Something you did not wan class="hi2">aan>nt or an class="hi2">aan>sk for choose.
Being in this stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind of "I an class="hi2">aan>m hurt by you", which is the victim stan class="hi2">aan>te, is entirely rooted in the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between giving an class="hi2">aan>nd receiving. To see yourself an class="hi2">aan>s not one with others is to see yourself an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked an class="hi2">aan>nd unfan class="hi2">aan>irly trean class="hi2">aan>ted. You become fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> victim so long an class="hi2">aan>s you consider yourself sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from others.
You can class="hi2">aan>nnot an class="hi2">aan>ccuse an class="hi2">aan>nyone of an class="hi2">aan>nything if you were included in the giving. If you received whan class="hi2">aan>t you gan class="hi2">aan>ve, you an class="hi2">aan>lso can class="hi2">aan>nnot an class="hi2">aan>ccuse an class="hi2">aan>nyone. If someone gives an class="hi2">aan>nd receives whan class="hi2">aan>t they give, you can class="hi2">aan>n clean class="hi2">aan>rly see they an class="hi2">aan>re doing it to themselves - ie an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>ll for love. an class="hi2">Aan>nd when you recognize you an class="hi2">aan>re giving whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re receiving, you tan class="hi2">aan>ke responsibility an class="hi2">aan>s in the secret of san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion.
The big question then is an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys, whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>m I giving an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>m I receiving, an class="hi2">aan>nd is there an class="hi2">aan> difference between the two. If there is an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between the two, I an class="hi2">aan>m being unforgiving, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>m inducing fan class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>sies of victimhood an class="hi2">aan>nd unfan class="hi2">aan>irness. If there is no sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between the two, which requires than class="hi2">aan>t I be one with others, then I han class="hi2">aan>ve no ban class="hi2">aan>sis for unforgiveness whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever.
Unforgiveness therefore goes totan class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>nd in han class="hi2">aan>nd with sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. You can class="hi2">aan>n only be unforgiving if there is an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. If there is not an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion you can class="hi2">aan>n only be forgiving. Ironing out the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>teness an class="hi2">aan>nd re-joining with others an class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rt of your shan class="hi2">aan>red identity, is the only wan class="hi2">aan>y to become forgiving towan class="hi2">aan>rds them an class="hi2">aan>nd towan class="hi2">aan>rds yourself.

Overcoming the temptation to diagnose a thumb pain

Recently I've seen how it is detrimentan class="hi2">aan>l to spend an class="hi2">aan> lot of time trying to dian class="hi2">aan>gnose problems or to even understan class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is han class="hi2">aan>ppening. But this wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>inly in the rean class="hi2">aan>lm of whan class="hi2">aan>t's han class="hi2">aan>ppening with other people. Now I've come up with an class="hi2">aan> problem closer to home ... my thumb hurts.
So now this san class="hi2">aan>me lesson seems to be in my body. I noticed than class="hi2">aan>t I kept doing the san class="hi2">aan>me thing - trying to figure out why it hurts, whan class="hi2">aan>t's wrong with it, whan class="hi2">aan>t could've han class="hi2">aan>ppened, etc. These an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll ego rean class="hi2">aan>ctions. an class="hi2">Aan>nd I even sort of thought to myself, it's proban class="hi2">aan>bly not exan class="hi2">aan>ctly helpful for me to han class="hi2">aan>ve thoughts of "whan class="hi2">aan>t's wrong with it" so often. I felt worried an class="hi2">aan>bout it, an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id it might be an class="hi2">aan>rthritis or repetan class="hi2">aan>tive stran class="hi2">aan>in or something. Surely those thoughts an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck thoughts.
It's an class="hi2">aan> bit ean class="hi2">aan>sier to detan class="hi2">aan>ch from these rean class="hi2">aan>ctions of ego trying to dian class="hi2">aan>gnose an class="hi2">aan>nd figure out when it's an class="hi2">aan>bout other people, but when it's in your own body an class="hi2">aan>nd it Involves pan class="hi2">aan>in, it's han class="hi2">aan>rder.
Nevertheless. This is obviously an class="hi2">aan> LESSON in which I an class="hi2">aan>m to lean class="hi2">aan>rn NOT how to dian class="hi2">aan>gnose an class="hi2">aan>nd figure out whan class="hi2">aan>t is going on, but instean class="hi2">aan>d, to lean class="hi2">aan>rn how to HEan class="hi2">Aan>L IT.
This is rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> shift between responses. The response of the ego will an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys be to use my mind an class="hi2">aan>nd intellect to try to understan class="hi2">aan>nd, figure out, dian class="hi2">aan>gnose, an class="hi2">aan>ssess, an class="hi2">aan>nd explan class="hi2">aan>in, 'why' this is han class="hi2">aan>ppening. Obviously than class="hi2">aan>t does an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely nothing to hean class="hi2">aan>l it, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll it rean class="hi2">aan>lly does it an class="hi2">aan>ssumes an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccepts than class="hi2">aan>t 'it is rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening', which is the an class="hi2">aan>nti-an class="hi2">aan>tonement. Explan class="hi2">aan>ining why something han class="hi2">aan>s gone wrong does an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely nothing to undo it.
The an class="hi2">aan>lternan class="hi2">aan>tive response is than class="hi2">aan>t of God/Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit doesn't respond with dian class="hi2">aan>gnosis. He doesn't need to figure out whan class="hi2">aan>t it is. He isn't deceived by illusions. He doesn't han class="hi2">aan>ve to pick it an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>nd try to piece together an class="hi2">aan> picture or history of whan class="hi2">aan>t led up to this. He doesn't need to dig into thoughts to 'try' to discover, an class="hi2">aan>nd possibly not discover, whan class="hi2">aan>t the can class="hi2">aan>use is. He an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy knows everything. He is an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy completely certan class="hi2">aan>in of the truth. an class="hi2">Aan>nd he han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>bsolute an class="hi2">aan>bility to hean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">Aan>NYTHING, right now, an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy, rean class="hi2">aan>dy to go. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so His, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore my, response to this thumb, should be, to simply HEan class="hi2">Aan>L IT NOW with love, an class="hi2">aan>nd to think only loving things an class="hi2">aan>bout it.
Spirit is rean class="hi2">aan>dy right now to hean class="hi2">aan>l. Spirit is completely certan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of the truth right now. Spirit an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy knows everything it needs to know an class="hi2">aan>bout illusions to undo an class="hi2">aan>nd correct them right now. an class="hi2">Aan>nd Spirit han class="hi2">aan>s complete willingness to hean class="hi2">aan>l it right now, without delan class="hi2">aan>y. God is perman class="hi2">aan>nently in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of hean class="hi2">aan>lth an class="hi2">aan>nd ran class="hi2">aan>dian class="hi2">aan>tion of hean class="hi2">aan>lth so it is God's will than class="hi2">aan>t I be fully hean class="hi2">aan>lthy. I comman class="hi2">aan>nd this thumb be hean class="hi2">aan>led right now in Jesus's nan class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll pan class="hi2">aan>in to lean class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>nd thumb be man class="hi2">aan>de completely whole right now. Holy Spirit I invite you into my thumb. Clean class="hi2">aan>r this mistan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>nd undo an class="hi2">aan>ll of the consequences of my wrong decision whan class="hi2">aan>tever than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>y be, correct my mind an class="hi2">aan>nd remove these symptoms. NOW.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t I hean class="hi2">aan>rd just now... Is "trust". Trusting Holy Spirit to hean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd correct, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n trusting the ego to explan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd dian class="hi2">aan>gnose whan class="hi2">aan>t it thinks is han class="hi2">aan>ppening. So it's like, do I turn to the ean class="hi2">aan>rth doctor who seems an class="hi2">aan>ll educan class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>nd knowledgean class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>bout specific things, or do I surrender an class="hi2">aan>nd trust Holy Spirit to not only know how to hean class="hi2">aan>l it but to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>llow him TO hean class="hi2">aan>l it.
I trust you Holy Spirit. I open to receive your love an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ling right now. Come.

There cannot be a unified theory of everything

Science will not EVER be an class="hi2">aan>ble to come up with an class="hi2">aan> completely unified theory of everything.
an class="hi2">Aan>s Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys in the Course, "an class="hi2">Aan> universan class="hi2">aan>l theology is impossible, but an class="hi2">aan> universan class="hi2">aan>l experience is not only possible but necessan class="hi2">aan>ry."
It doesn't man class="hi2">aan>tter if science is coming closer to an class="hi2">aan>n "understan class="hi2">aan>nding" of spirituan class="hi2">aan>lity or an class="hi2">aan>n openness to the existence of God, or if they can class="hi2">aan>n even find an class="hi2">aan>n explan class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>t seems to san class="hi2">aan>tisfy an class="hi2">aan>ll phenomenon. They won't be an class="hi2">aan>ble to find one which is 100% perfect an class="hi2">aan>ll of the time.

So how an class="hi2">aan>re you going to ever be an class="hi2">aan>ble to prove the "true nan class="hi2">aan>ture" of an class="hi2">aan>n UNREan class="hi2">Aan>LITY?

You didn't become afraid overnight, it's a process

Han class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan> nice chan class="hi2">aan>t with Jesus lan class="hi2">aan>st night.
One observan class="hi2">aan>tion man class="hi2">aan>de is, than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n't just jump stran class="hi2">aan>ight into fean class="hi2">aan>r or guilt. It's not like you can class="hi2">aan>n go from innocence stran class="hi2">aan>ight to feeling an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id, an class="hi2">aan>lthough it seems this is whan class="hi2">aan>t we do becan class="hi2">aan>use it can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ppen quite fan class="hi2">aan>st. There an class="hi2">aan>re steps than class="hi2">aan>t MUST precede it.
e.g. if you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to:
1) sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from love, 2) believe its rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppened (sin), 3) become guilty, 4) feel compelled to fean class="hi2">aan>r punishment.
So you don't just 'get an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id', you han class="hi2">aan>ve to han class="hi2">aan>ve first done these other things. Similan class="hi2">aan>rly if you find yourself man class="hi2">aan>inly in guilt, you didn't just become guilty, there han class="hi2">aan>d be these other steps before it (ie sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd sin).
Once you see where you an class="hi2">aan>re on the spectrum between love an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th, ie:
1) Love/an class="hi2">aan>tonement/Holy Spirit
2) Sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion idean class="hi2">aan>
3) Sin (something rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppened)
4) Guilt (guilty for man class="hi2">aan>king it han class="hi2">aan>ppen)
5) Fean class="hi2">aan>r (an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id of the punishment than class="hi2">aan>t guilt suggests will come)
6) Punishment (an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly experiencing punishment)
7) Dean class="hi2">aan>th/ego
... then you can class="hi2">aan>n figure out how you need to 'undo' the preceding steps.

You need to move yourself towan class="hi2">aan>rd the an class="hi2">aan>tonement end of the spectrum if you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to be an class="hi2">aan>t pean class="hi2">aan>ce. an class="hi2">Aan>ND... this is the importan class="hi2">aan>nt pan class="hi2">aan>rt, you need to go an class="hi2">Aan>LL the wan class="hi2">aan>y.

It an class="hi2">aan>lso mean class="hi2">aan>ns getting up-close an class="hi2">aan>nd personan class="hi2">aan>l with God which your ego does not wan class="hi2">aan>nt to do.
Man class="hi2">aan>ny people (me too) get stuck in the middle of the spectrum somewhere an class="hi2">aan>round the fean class="hi2">aan>r or guilt an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan>s, an class="hi2">aan>nd think we need to just undo the fean class="hi2">aan>r or guilt, but rean class="hi2">aan>lly we need to look an class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t the guilt is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on, which is some kind of sin, then look an class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t the sin is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on, which is some sense of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God an class="hi2">aan>nd yourself, an class="hi2">aan>nd then undo even the idean class="hi2">aan> of being sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te, so than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n REUNITE with God an class="hi2">aan>nd yourself in the an class="hi2">Aan>t-one-ment.
an class="hi2">Aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ny time, an class="hi2">aan>ll you need to an class="hi2">aan>sk yourself is:
1) Where an class="hi2">aan>m I an class="hi2">aan>t on the spectrum between holy spirit an class="hi2">aan>nd ego?
2) Where do I wan class="hi2">aan>nt to be? (idean class="hi2">aan>lly, with Holy Spirit)
Then work your wan class="hi2">aan>y one step an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> time uncovering the foundan class="hi2">aan>tion of where you find yourself.

THE HOLY TRINITY is an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>jor pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">Aan>CIM's model of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. More or less, the holy trinity is an class="hi2">Aan>LL THan class="hi2">Aan>T EXISTS IN REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY.

"The Holy Trinity is holy becan class="hi2">aan>use It is One. If you exclude YOURSELF from this union, you an class="hi2">aan>re perceiving the Holy Trinity an class="hi2">aan>s sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted. "
"The Son of God IS pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the holy Trinity, but the Trinity Itself is One. There is no confusion within ITS levels, becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re of One Mind an class="hi2">aan>nd One Will."
"Only the levels of the Trinity an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of Unity. The levels which man class="hi2">aan>n crean class="hi2">aan>ted by the Sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>re disan class="hi2">aan>strous. They can class="hi2">aan>nnot BUT conflict."
"Your crean class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>re your gift to the Holy Trinity, crean class="hi2">aan>ted in gran class="hi2">aan>titude for your crean class="hi2">aan>tion. They do not lean class="hi2">aan>ve you, an class="hi2">aan>ny more than class="hi2">aan>n you han class="hi2">aan>ve left your Crean class="hi2">aan>tor."

"The Holy Spirit is the only pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the Holy Trinity which is symbolic."

Only immortal things are a part of God

"You an class="hi2">aan>re immortan class="hi2">aan>l BECan class="hi2">Aan>USE you an class="hi2">aan>re eternan class="hi2">aan>l"
You an class="hi2">aan>re immortan class="hi2">aan>l. Generan class="hi2">aan>lly than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns you live forever without an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of end, you can class="hi2">aan>n never be chan class="hi2">aan>nged, an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re perman class="hi2">aan>nently the san class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>ll the time.
You'll then find than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ny notion of "chan class="hi2">aan>nge" introduces the potentian class="hi2">aan>l for coming to an class="hi2">aan>n end. If you can class="hi2">aan>n chan class="hi2">aan>nge or be chan class="hi2">aan>nged, you could be stopped, interfered with, an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked, dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ged, or can class="hi2">aan>used to die.
"This is the world of time, where an class="hi2">aan>ll things end."
So chan class="hi2">aan>nge of an class="hi2">aan>ny kind can class="hi2">aan>nnot be pan class="hi2">aan>rt of immortan class="hi2">aan>lity. Which is why chan class="hi2">aan>ngelessness is your rean class="hi2">aan>l nan class="hi2">aan>ture, an class="hi2">aan>nd this is an class="hi2">aan>lso why you reman class="hi2">aan>in still an class="hi2">aan>s God crean class="hi2">aan>ted you. You han class="hi2">aan>ve not chan class="hi2">aan>nged an class="hi2">aan> single bit since you were crean class="hi2">aan>ted.
This then han class="hi2">aan>s to mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t if there is an class="hi2">aan>nything than class="hi2">aan>t does chan class="hi2">aan>nge, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot be an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of you. If there is an class="hi2">aan> body than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n chan class="hi2">aan>nge, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot be an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of you. If there is an class="hi2">aan> building than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n be destroyed, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot be rean class="hi2">aan>l. If there is an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>net which can class="hi2">aan>n go through sean class="hi2">aan>sons, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot be rean class="hi2">aan>l. an class="hi2">Aan>ny kind of chan class="hi2">aan>nge is an class="hi2">aan> form of dean class="hi2">aan>th.
It's very simple rean class="hi2">aan>lly. You can class="hi2">aan>n just an class="hi2">aan>sk yourself if something will lan class="hi2">aan>st forever. If the an class="hi2">aan>nswer is no, then it is not an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l crean class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd not an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God. If it lan class="hi2">aan>sts only an class="hi2">aan> little while in time an class="hi2">aan>nd then chan class="hi2">aan>nges an class="hi2">aan>nd then goes an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot be pan class="hi2">aan>rt of crean class="hi2">aan>tion or of God. Nor can class="hi2">aan>n it be God's will.
"Some things will lan class="hi2">aan>st in time an class="hi2">aan> little while longer than class="hi2">aan>n others. But the time will come when an class="hi2">aan>ll things visible will han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n end."
Here Jesus simply an class="hi2">aan>ffirms this by san class="hi2">aan>ying than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll things which an class="hi2">aan>re visible will han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n end. Some will lan class="hi2">aan>st longer than class="hi2">aan>n others but an class="hi2">Aan>LL of the visible things will han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n end. It then doesn't man class="hi2">aan>tter how you an class="hi2">aan>re looking an class="hi2">aan>t the visible things, whether you han class="hi2">aan>te the visible things or love them. an class="hi2">Aan>LL of them will come to an class="hi2">aan>n end.
This an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in tells you essentian class="hi2">aan>lly than class="hi2">aan>t if an class="hi2">aan>nything is visible, it is not an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God's kingdom. If it is visible, ie forms of man class="hi2">aan>tter, energy, bodies, plan class="hi2">aan>nets, stan class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>nd so on, they will come to an class="hi2">aan>n end some dan class="hi2">aan>y, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore can class="hi2">aan>nnot be an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of immortan class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>lity. an class="hi2">Aan>nything than class="hi2">aan>t does not lan class="hi2">aan>st forever uninterrupted is not an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God, nor can class="hi2">aan>n it be man class="hi2">aan>de into an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God.
There is an class="hi2">aan> world than class="hi2">aan>t we man class="hi2">aan>de, an class="hi2">aan> world of span class="hi2">aan>ce-time an class="hi2">aan>nd of physican class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd of forms of man class="hi2">aan>tter an class="hi2">aan>nd objects. These things an class="hi2">aan>re visible an class="hi2">aan>nd will end. They end becan class="hi2">aan>use of their nan class="hi2">aan>ture being pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m of dean class="hi2">aan>th. an class="hi2">Aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use of this, they an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God or an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of you. Nor an class="hi2">aan>re they an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of hean class="hi2">aan>ven.
"Without the idean class="hi2">aan> of dean class="hi2">aan>th there is no world."
Bottom line, if it's not immortan class="hi2">aan>l it doesn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly exist. It's an class="hi2">aan> very simple test for an class="hi2">aan>nything. If it's not immortan class="hi2">aan>l it's not of God. If it chan class="hi2">aan>nges it is not of God. If it can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked it's not of God. if it goes through an class="hi2">aan> tran class="hi2">aan>nsforman class="hi2">aan>tion process it is not of God. If it can class="hi2">aan>n be born or grows or withers or suffers or dies it is not of God.
It an class="hi2">aan>lso doesn't man class="hi2">aan>tter if you chan class="hi2">aan>nge your perceptions an class="hi2">aan>bout such things, to see objects in an class="hi2">aan> different light or from an class="hi2">aan> different van class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>ge point. Seeing objects than class="hi2">aan>t end in an class="hi2">aan> different wan class="hi2">aan>y doesn't an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly override the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t they still end.
Just becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re han class="hi2">aan>ppy it will not man class="hi2">aan>ke the ean class="hi2">aan>rth lan class="hi2">aan>st forever. Just becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re loving it will not stop the sean class="hi2">aan>sons from chan class="hi2">aan>nging. Just becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re pean class="hi2">aan>ceful it will not chan class="hi2">aan>nge the fan class="hi2">aan>lling of lean class="hi2">aan>ves when the wean class="hi2">aan>ther get's cold.
These an class="hi2">aan>re still proof than class="hi2">aan>t these things an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God's rean class="hi2">aan>lity. It doesn't man class="hi2">aan>tter if you see an class="hi2">aan> unity in these things or an class="hi2">aan> reflection of God in these things, they still behan class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>nd function in wan class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>re open to an class="hi2">aan> denian class="hi2">aan>l of immortan class="hi2">aan>lity. If the thing, the object, the man class="hi2">aan>tter, the form, the body, the world etc, can class="hi2">aan>n in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y ever be modified or chan class="hi2">aan>nged, then fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>lly it can class="hi2">aan>nnot be an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
This is why "there is no world." This is why "God did not crean class="hi2">aan>te the body." This is why "the body is clean class="hi2">aan>rly an class="hi2">aan> device for sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore does not exist." This is why we withdran class="hi2">aan>w investment in physican class="hi2">aan>l sight an class="hi2">aan>nd open up to an class="hi2">aan> different kind of vision which overlooks/forgives the world. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t the world can class="hi2">aan>n BE forgiven is purely becan class="hi2">aan>use is it an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of an class="hi2">aan> world, an class="hi2">aan>nd not an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Only illusions can class="hi2">aan>n be overlooked an class="hi2">aan>nd "an class="hi2">aan> world forgiven can class="hi2">aan>nnot lan class="hi2">aan>st."
We can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccept the rean class="hi2">aan>lity of God's Kingdom, which is to an class="hi2">aan>ccept God's truth an class="hi2">aan>nd God's lan class="hi2">aan>w an class="hi2">aan>nd God's wholeness. Than class="hi2">aan>t is the wholeness of the Kingdom of hean class="hi2">aan>ven, in which an class="hi2">aan>ll things live forever an class="hi2">aan>nd never chan class="hi2">aan>nge. It is not an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce where bodies an class="hi2">aan>re born an class="hi2">aan>nd plan class="hi2">aan>nets spin an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>rs exhan class="hi2">aan>ust their fuel supply. It is not an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>lm where objects get stuck in crevices an class="hi2">aan>nd the dust of dean class="hi2">aan>d flesh settles on surfan class="hi2">aan>ces or where food rots an class="hi2">aan>nd decan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>nd turns to an class="hi2">aan> corpse. None of these things can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of hean class="hi2">aan>ven.
Only the immortan class="hi2">aan>l is true. Only the immortan class="hi2">aan>l is an class="hi2">aan>live. Only the immortan class="hi2">aan>l is of God. Only the immortan class="hi2">aan>l exists. Everything else is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion. Not even whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>CIM can class="hi2">aan>lls "the rean class="hi2">aan>l world" will lan class="hi2">aan>st forever. "Even the rean class="hi2">aan>l world will van class="hi2">aan>nish from your sight." You can class="hi2">aan>nnot convert an class="hi2">aan>n illusion into an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>lity. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot turn an class="hi2">aan>n unrean class="hi2">aan>l world into an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l one. Nor can class="hi2">aan>n you turn an class="hi2">aan> picture of dean class="hi2">aan>th into rean class="hi2">aan>l perman class="hi2">aan>nent life.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t lives forever must be crean class="hi2">aan>ted by an class="hi2">aan>n immortan class="hi2">aan>l crean class="hi2">aan>tor to live forever from the beginning. Whan class="hi2">aan>t is man class="hi2">aan>de in an class="hi2">aan>n insan class="hi2">aan>ne mind out of illusions which intended they die, can class="hi2">aan>nnot han class="hi2">aan>ve eternan class="hi2">aan>l life. They han class="hi2">aan>ve not been crean class="hi2">aan>ted or given immortan class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd so they do not exist an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. Their illusion of existing is nothing but an class="hi2">aan> deception an class="hi2">aan>nd the recognition of this fan class="hi2">aan>ct is enlightenment.
"Only the crean class="hi2">aan>tions of light an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>l."
"The world you see is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of an class="hi2">aan> world. God did not crean class="hi2">aan>te it, for whan class="hi2">aan>t He crean class="hi2">aan>tes must be eternan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>s Himself. Yet there is nothing in the world you see than class="hi2">aan>t will endure forever."

How a teacher of God sees the world

You an class="hi2">aan>re outside of the world, looking in upon it from the outside in. From this perspective, the body is given no van class="hi2">aan>lue an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. The world is recognized an class="hi2">aan>s completely fictionan class="hi2">aan>l. The body is used temporan class="hi2">aan>rily only an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> tool for sensing the vibran class="hi2">aan>tions of the illusory world, so an class="hi2">aan>s to detect its current configuran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd seemingly interan class="hi2">aan>ct with its inhan class="hi2">aan>bitan class="hi2">aan>nts.
an class="hi2">Aan>t no point is the body mistan class="hi2">aan>ken for your self, nor an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>rded an class="hi2">aan>ttributes it does not han class="hi2">aan>ve. It is not regan class="hi2">aan>rded an class="hi2">aan>s spirituan class="hi2">aan>l or scan class="hi2">aan>red or specian class="hi2">aan>l or worshipped. an class="hi2">Aan>ll sense of personan class="hi2">aan>l use of the body han class="hi2">aan>s gone. It is rendered nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> functionless instrument through which light man class="hi2">aan>y flow into the drean class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>s the light of the world.
In this view, the body is not mistan class="hi2">aan>ken even slightly for your sense of self. It's an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nce san class="hi2">aan>ys nothing an class="hi2">aan>bout who or whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re. Its pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>r configuran class="hi2">aan>tion or an class="hi2">aan>ttributes man class="hi2">aan>ke no stan class="hi2">aan>tement whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever an class="hi2">aan>s to your true nan class="hi2">aan>ture or crean class="hi2">aan>tive an class="hi2">aan>bilities. It is merely an class="hi2">aan> picture, an class="hi2">aan> portan class="hi2">aan>l, into an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ke world, through which you briefly peer in order to look an class="hi2">aan>t the surfan class="hi2">aan>ce of objects an class="hi2">aan>nd see bodies moving an class="hi2">aan>round.
You recognize than class="hi2">aan>t everything the body senses is not rean class="hi2">aan>l or true. It picks up on vibran class="hi2">aan>tory signan class="hi2">aan>ls of an class="hi2">aan> world than class="hi2">aan>t seems to be there but which is not. It shows you pictures of this pretend world, registers sound vibran class="hi2">aan>tions, an class="hi2">aan>nd even seems to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to touch the surfan class="hi2">aan>ce of iman class="hi2">aan>ginan class="hi2">aan>ry objects. But there is no delusion than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ny of these things rean class="hi2">aan>lly exist or than class="hi2">aan>t these signan class="hi2">aan>ls an class="hi2">aan>re conveying the truth. an class="hi2">Aan>ll they do is relan class="hi2">aan>y messan class="hi2">aan>ges an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t seems to be there, but which is not believed in. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so the mind does not use the body to "sense rean class="hi2">aan>lity", it uses it only to sense unrean class="hi2">aan>lity.
The drean class="hi2">aan>m world continues to depict scenes of fighting, an class="hi2">aan>buse, conflict, physican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd mentan class="hi2">aan>l sickness, trees, buildings, storms, wan class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd chan class="hi2">aan>os, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>nner of an class="hi2">aan>ctivities.

The mind observes this through the body senses which register perceptions of such things occurring, but the mind is not deceived by an class="hi2">aan>ny of them. It knows it is witnessing an class="hi2">aan> lie, an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse world, an class="hi2">aan> temporan class="hi2">aan>ry fiction, which han class="hi2">aan>s no inherent truth an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely no rean class="hi2">aan>lity. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it uses the body thus only to temporan class="hi2">aan>rily interan class="hi2">aan>ct with those who see themselves an class="hi2">aan>s bodies, than class="hi2">aan>t there might be communican class="hi2">aan>tion, tean class="hi2">aan>ching an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ling, to guide them similan class="hi2">aan>rly to the recognition of an class="hi2">aan> san class="hi2">aan>ne perspective on this world an class="hi2">aan>nd on the bodies they utilize.
For now the mind is stan class="hi2">aan>nding on the outskirts of the world, not immersed an class="hi2">aan>nd not lost within its illusions. It is no longer tempted by an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces. It knows with certan class="hi2">aan>inty than class="hi2">aan>t nothing is han class="hi2">aan>ppening here, an class="hi2">aan>nd even when the ego demonstran class="hi2">aan>tes its prowess in man class="hi2">aan>nufan class="hi2">aan>cturing scenes of horror an class="hi2">aan>nd destruction, these han class="hi2">aan>ppenings han class="hi2">aan>ve no influence over the mind. It rean class="hi2">aan>cts not an class="hi2">aan>nd is unmoved an class="hi2">aan>nd undisturbed by such illusory occurrences. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it continues to look pan class="hi2">aan>st an class="hi2">aan>ll of them to the rean class="hi2">aan>l truth, which these an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces once hid, to the rean class="hi2">aan>l light an class="hi2">aan>nd the rean class="hi2">aan>l show, which is occurring beyond the world entirely.
The mind then han class="hi2">aan>s lost interest in the world. It han class="hi2">aan>s come to recognize the world han class="hi2">aan>s nothing to give. It han class="hi2">aan>s surrendered an class="hi2">aan>ll investment in the world an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>ttempts to believe it can class="hi2">aan>n do or an class="hi2">aan>chieve or give an class="hi2">aan>nything of van class="hi2">aan>lue. It is recognized an class="hi2">aan>s nothing but an class="hi2">aan> distran class="hi2">aan>ctor device, man class="hi2">aan>de of denian class="hi2">aan>l, pretending to be something but is ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely nothingness. There is no further worshipping of idols, there is no emotionan class="hi2">aan>l investment, there is nothing than class="hi2">aan>t it wan class="hi2">aan>nts in the world, becan class="hi2">aan>use it knows the world han class="hi2">aan>s nothing to offer. It is nothing but an class="hi2">aan> prison for insan class="hi2">aan>ne minds who come to suffer an class="hi2">aan>nd die in drean class="hi2">aan>ms of pan class="hi2">aan>in. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it is clean class="hi2">aan>r there is no such thing an class="hi2">aan>s sin.
Such an class="hi2">aan> mind is the light of the world an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s come to bless, only becan class="hi2">aan>use it recognizes the truth an class="hi2">aan>nd does not fan class="hi2">aan>ll for the tran class="hi2">aan>ps an class="hi2">aan>nd illusions of an class="hi2">aan> world of errors. It does not believe an class="hi2">aan>nything the body witnesses or suggests is han class="hi2">aan>ppening, an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lizes the limitan class="hi2">aan>tions of the senses. It uses them only to serve to the extent they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>nd is under no delusions than class="hi2">aan>t they represent rean class="hi2">aan>lity or its experience. The body is known to be only whan class="hi2">aan>t it is an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing more, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is nothing but an class="hi2">aan>n illusion. It han class="hi2">aan>s no life nor dean class="hi2">aan>th.
From this view, the world is recognized an class="hi2">aan>s nothing. an class="hi2">Aan> sphere of un-han class="hi2">aan>ppenings an class="hi2">aan>nd illusory events. an class="hi2">Aan>ll events an class="hi2">aan>re nowhere. an class="hi2">Aan>ll chan class="hi2">aan>nges wrought an class="hi2">aan>re substan class="hi2">aan>nce-less. Not one thing occuring han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ny truth to it. Not even the dying bodies an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>lly dying, nor the sick bodies rean class="hi2">aan>lly sick, nor the living bodies rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>live. It is an class="hi2">aan>ll the san class="hi2">aan>me, one illusion, one picture of stran class="hi2">aan>nge objects an class="hi2">aan>nd interan class="hi2">aan>ctions, none of which an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>l or true.
The hieran class="hi2">aan>rchy of illusions han class="hi2">aan>s been flan class="hi2">aan>ttened, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>long with it the illusion of orders of difficulty. Nothing is regan class="hi2">aan>rded an class="hi2">aan>s more or less importan class="hi2">aan>nt or van class="hi2">aan>luan class="hi2">aan>ble than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nother, nor more difficult to reverse or chan class="hi2">aan>nge or hean class="hi2">aan>l. Nothing is given to the world but the love than class="hi2">aan>t would dispel it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd no mean class="hi2">aan>ning is an class="hi2">aan>ttributed it beyond the mean class="hi2">aan>ning of forgiveness. Every occurrence han class="hi2">aan>s no effects. Every can class="hi2">aan>use seen an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n effect of drean class="hi2">aan>ming. an class="hi2">Aan>nd nowhere is there an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l consequence believed.
Only for an class="hi2">aan> time does the tean class="hi2">aan>cher of God occupy an class="hi2">aan> body thus, using it an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> scan class="hi2">aan>lpel to dissect the illusions of the world an class="hi2">aan>nd see beyond them to the truth. The mind no longer loses sight of whan class="hi2">aan>t is true an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>l beyond the world, fixan class="hi2">aan>ted on the rean class="hi2">aan>lity of light outside the drean class="hi2">aan>m. There is no longer deception or temptan class="hi2">aan>tion can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of inflicting suffering. an class="hi2">Aan>nd not one single an class="hi2">aan>spect of the world han class="hi2">aan>s the power to do an class="hi2">aan>nything.
The world han class="hi2">aan>s been forgiven, overlooked, an class="hi2">aan>nd not believed. The body is nothing an class="hi2">aan>nd unnecessan class="hi2">aan>ry. an class="hi2">Aan>ll the plean class="hi2">aan>sures an class="hi2">aan>nd pan class="hi2">aan>ins of the world han class="hi2">aan>ve been surrendered an class="hi2">aan>s useless futilities designed to wan class="hi2">aan>ste time an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>void the truth.

an class="hi2">Aan>s an class="hi2">aan> tean class="hi2">aan>cher of God, you han class="hi2">aan>ve one foot in the world, but your spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye perceives the light beyond it. Your mind is an class="hi2">aan>ligned with the truth but your body is doing body things. You don't fan class="hi2">aan>ll for the ego's tricks, nor do you rean class="hi2">aan>ct to its worst an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cks.

Nothing can class="hi2">aan>n disturb you becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re san class="hi2">aan>fe in God. The drean class="hi2">aan>m of exile is nothing but an class="hi2">aan> stran class="hi2">aan>nge drean class="hi2">aan>m where stran class="hi2">aan>nge things don't rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppen.

THE TRUE METAPHYSICS OF A COURSE IN MIRACLES

The metan class="hi2">aan>physics of an class="hi2">Aan>CIM is not something than class="hi2">aan>t someone man class="hi2">aan>de up, it is not an class="hi2">aan>n interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion, it is not subject to someone's opinion, an class="hi2">aan>nd there is no room for questioning it. It is not one of man class="hi2">aan>ny possible definitions of the truth. It is THE truth. Either you understan class="hi2">aan>nd it an class="hi2">aan>s it is an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccept it an class="hi2">aan>s logican class="hi2">aan>lly true, or you an class="hi2">aan>re in denian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd confusion.
Metan class="hi2">aan>physics an class="hi2">aan>re Fan class="hi2">Aan>CTS. The thought system of the Holy Spirit is completely logican class="hi2">aan>lly consistent, an class="hi2">aan>s is the thought system of the ego. There is an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely no room for interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion. Whan class="hi2">aan>t is "true" can class="hi2">aan>n ean class="hi2">aan>sily be determined by looking an class="hi2">aan>t the logican class="hi2">aan>l structure of whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppened an class="hi2">aan>nd where things fit. If you man class="hi2">aan>ster the metan class="hi2">aan>physics, you will be an class="hi2">aan>ble to extran class="hi2">aan>polan class="hi2">aan>te the logican class="hi2">aan>l thought system to explan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely an class="hi2">aan>nything in its correct perspective.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens an class="hi2">aan>fter the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God is completely 100% logican class="hi2">aan>l. Everything than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens an class="hi2">aan>fter sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion MUST han class="hi2">aan>ppen, an class="hi2">aan>nd it MUST han class="hi2">aan>ppen in an class="hi2">aan> very specific wan class="hi2">aan>y. The effects of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>re not van class="hi2">aan>ried or one possibility an class="hi2">aan>mong man class="hi2">aan>ny. There is only one wan class="hi2">aan>y to sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te, there is only one scenan class="hi2">aan>rio which comes an class="hi2">aan>bout when sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion seems to han class="hi2">aan>ve han class="hi2">aan>ppened, an class="hi2">aan>nd there is only one outcome.
If you can class="hi2">aan>n lean class="hi2">aan>rn the fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>l, completely logican class="hi2">aan>lly consistent metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l structure of the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, it gives you an class="hi2">aan> fran class="hi2">aan>mework in which everything else fits into plan class="hi2">aan>ce. an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles is tean class="hi2">aan>ching this metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l structure, but it is not an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys very obvious. Its obscure nan class="hi2">aan>ture tends to lean class="hi2">aan>d people to not even rean class="hi2">aan>lize there is an class="hi2">aan> solid "core" to the Course or than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n use this structure to perfectly explan class="hi2">aan>in everything the ego does, the mean class="hi2">aan>ning of dean class="hi2">aan>th, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t MUST be true ban class="hi2">aan>sed on it.
For exan class="hi2">aan>mple, sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God is not possible, becan class="hi2">aan>use you can class="hi2">aan>nnot be somewhere than class="hi2">aan>t God is an class="hi2">aan>bsent. God is everywhere. This immedian class="hi2">aan>tely tells us than class="hi2">aan>t, logican class="hi2">aan>lly, to believe than class="hi2">aan>t this IS possible is insan class="hi2">aan>nity. It an class="hi2">aan>lso must tell us than class="hi2">aan>t to believe in such an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion is to believe in an class="hi2">aan> DREan class="hi2">Aan>M, an class="hi2">aan> fiction, something which is fan class="hi2">aan>lse or not true an class="hi2">aan>nd not rean class="hi2">aan>l. This is an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy the beginning of some very solid metan class="hi2">aan>physics, an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ny people gran class="hi2">aan>sp this ban class="hi2">aan>sic stan class="hi2">aan>rting point.
But then there is an class="hi2">aan> progression, becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>s soon an class="hi2">aan>s there is an class="hi2">aan> belief in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, the ENTIRE ego thought system can class="hi2">aan>n be logican class="hi2">aan>lly described an class="hi2">aan>nd predicted for how it will operan class="hi2">aan>te, whan class="hi2">aan>t it will perceive an class="hi2">aan>nd believe, whan class="hi2">aan>t it will van class="hi2">aan>lue, an class="hi2">aan>nd everything else an class="hi2">aan>bout it. Even such things an class="hi2">aan>s specian class="hi2">aan>l relan class="hi2">aan>tionships, specian class="hi2">aan>l han class="hi2">aan>te, unconscious guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd so on, an class="hi2">aan>re not just things than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppen to be an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the situan class="hi2">aan>tion we're in, they MUST an class="hi2">Aan>BSOLUTELY FEan class="hi2">Aan>TURE in an class="hi2">aan>n experience of being sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from God. There is an class="hi2">aan> completely LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>L progression of thought an class="hi2">aan>nd circumstan class="hi2">aan>nce which Han class="hi2">Aan>S to come an class="hi2">aan>bout when there is sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, which lean class="hi2">aan>ds to an class="hi2">aan>ll of these things.
Jesus describes some of this in the Lan class="hi2">aan>ws of Chan class="hi2">aan>os, where he san class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t first there an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tions into individuan class="hi2">aan>ls/bodies, then this MUST give rise to the perception than class="hi2">aan>t ean class="hi2">aan>ch individuan class="hi2">aan>l is different an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore lan class="hi2">aan>cking, an class="hi2">aan>nd this MUST then give rise to an class="hi2">aan> sense of competition becan class="hi2">aan>use others han class="hi2">aan>ve something you lan class="hi2">aan>ck, an class="hi2">aan>nd this MUST mean class="hi2">aan>n every individuan class="hi2">aan>l is sinful for the an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck than class="hi2">aan>t their "independence" inflicts on ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, an class="hi2">aan>nd you then end up trying to "get" from others whan class="hi2">aan>t you lan class="hi2">aan>ck, by van class="hi2">aan>luing whan class="hi2">aan>t they lan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd trying to possess it - which is the purpose of "specian class="hi2">aan>lness" an class="hi2">aan>nd lean class="hi2">aan>ds to an class="hi2">aan>ll specian class="hi2">aan>l relan class="hi2">aan>tionships. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of this is an class="hi2">aan> completely logican class="hi2">aan>l progression. It's simply whan class="hi2">aan>t must han class="hi2">aan>ppen an class="hi2">aan>nd must unfold ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>ving tan class="hi2">aan>ken plan class="hi2">aan>ce.
an class="hi2">Aan>nother exan class="hi2">aan>mple is whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens right an class="hi2">aan>fter sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion in terms of the split mind an class="hi2">aan>nd how it becomes an class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>r with itself. If the mind believes in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, in order to be sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from God, it MUST han class="hi2">aan>ve sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion within itself. There is nowhere else for the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion to be. So the mind becomes divided, believing in "self an class="hi2">aan>nd other". This MUST mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t WILL is an class="hi2">aan>lso split, an class="hi2">aan>nd this MUST mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t both of those pan class="hi2">aan>rts an class="hi2">aan>re in conflict. There an class="hi2">aan>re two wills operan class="hi2">aan>ting seemingly sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tely or with sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te goan class="hi2">aan>ls, since they logican class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>nnot be the san class="hi2">aan>me or in an class="hi2">aan>greement otherwise they could not BE sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te. They MUST be an class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>r with ean class="hi2">aan>ch other. They MUST be in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of conflict. This conflict lean class="hi2">aan>ds to an class="hi2">Aan>LL expressions of wan class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd vengean class="hi2">aan>nce an class="hi2">aan>nd eventuan class="hi2">aan>l dean class="hi2">aan>th. It an class="hi2">aan>ll progresses completely logican class="hi2">aan>lly.
The metan class="hi2">aan>physics an class="hi2">aan>lso shows than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t once wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> single whole mind, or whole self (Christ), must han class="hi2">aan>ve become divided an class="hi2">aan>nd split an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt following sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. This mind than class="hi2">aan>t believes in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion thus gan class="hi2">aan>ve rise to multiple illusions of individuan class="hi2">aan>ls. The illusion of these individuan class="hi2">aan>ls BEING individuan class="hi2">aan>l is completely dependent on an class="hi2">aan> strong illusion of the wan class="hi2">aan>ys they an class="hi2">aan>re different, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s this illusion of difference becomes stronger an class="hi2">aan>nd more estan class="hi2">aan>blished, it turns into whan class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>ll "form", which is whan class="hi2">aan>t the BODY is. So an class="hi2">aan> body is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> logican class="hi2">aan>l progression of the thought system of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd MUST come an class="hi2">aan>bout if the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppened. Bodies an class="hi2">aan>re just very strongly-believed-in fran class="hi2">aan>gments of mind an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ring sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd unique in order to man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>in the ongoing brean class="hi2">aan>kdown of wholeness. This is an class="hi2">aan>lso why bodies an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> "picture" of the destruction of Christ, man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>s sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion devices to keep individuan class="hi2">aan>ls an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore keep Christ from being whole.
There is no guesswork here. There an class="hi2">aan>re no opinions. There is no interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion. This is simply an class="hi2">aan> completely logican class="hi2">aan>l, consistent development which tan class="hi2">aan>kes plan class="hi2">aan>ce. If there is an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, it han class="hi2">aan>s "fean class="hi2">aan>tures" which come from it quite "nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>lly" an class="hi2">aan>nd which an class="hi2">aan>re completely unan class="hi2">aan>voidan class="hi2">aan>ble. They an class="hi2">aan>re not optionan class="hi2">aan>l. Bodies, worlds, specian class="hi2">aan>l relan class="hi2">aan>tionships, dean class="hi2">aan>th, sickness, it is an class="hi2">Aan>LL an class="hi2">aan> "nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l" pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">aan> thought system of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. The metan class="hi2">aan>physics recognizes this an class="hi2">aan>nd gives an class="hi2">aan> perfectly consistent structure to it. The metan class="hi2">aan>physics can class="hi2">aan>n explan class="hi2">aan>in WHY an class="hi2">aan>ll of these things come an class="hi2">aan>bout.
an class="hi2">Aan>s you lean class="hi2">aan>rn the metan class="hi2">aan>physics, which is somewhan class="hi2">aan>t deeper than class="hi2">aan>n just "the words" of the Course, you will an class="hi2">aan>cquire an class="hi2">aan> kind of templan class="hi2">aan>te or set of simple lan class="hi2">aan>ws which you understan class="hi2">aan>nd to man class="hi2">aan>ke perfect sense. These can class="hi2">aan>n be somewhan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>bstran class="hi2">aan>ct so it can class="hi2">aan>n require some lean class="hi2">aan>rning to "generan class="hi2">aan>lize" the lean class="hi2">aan>rning an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t it's an class="hi2">aan>ll ban class="hi2">aan>sed on an class="hi2">aan> simple set of logic. But once you then "get" the simple logic, you can class="hi2">aan>n now USE than class="hi2">aan>t simple logic to exan class="hi2">aan>mine an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely an class="hi2">aan>ny an class="hi2">aan>spect of life, an class="hi2">aan>ny an class="hi2">aan>ctivity or purpose or wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t something han class="hi2">aan>ppens, an class="hi2">aan>nd describe it in terms of whan class="hi2">aan>t the METan class="hi2">Aan>PHYSICS san class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>bout it, which will be the truth. Irrefutan class="hi2">aan>ble truth. Provided your gran class="hi2">aan>sp of the metan class="hi2">aan>physics is clean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd consistent an class="hi2">aan>nd you're not man class="hi2">aan>king subtle logican class="hi2">aan>l errors, the metan class="hi2">aan>physics gives you VISION to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to see the truth of whan class="hi2">aan>t's han class="hi2">aan>ppening or where things fit together.
For exan class="hi2">aan>mple, recently there han class="hi2">aan>ve been discussions an class="hi2">aan>bout whether you can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>t pean class="hi2">aan>ce with dean class="hi2">aan>th. There were man class="hi2">aan>ny opinions given. None of the opinions were relevan class="hi2">aan>nt. The only truth is in whan class="hi2">aan>t the metan class="hi2">aan>physics san class="hi2">aan>ys. In the metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l truth, the body is an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion device, it is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is within the mind of Christ. It blocks an class="hi2">aan>nd hides whan class="hi2">aan>t is behind it an class="hi2">aan>nd its only function an class="hi2">aan>nd purpose is to man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>in the illusion of the mind being sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te. The metan class="hi2">aan>physics an class="hi2">aan>lso tells us than class="hi2">aan>t since God is life, an class="hi2">aan>nd being opposite to God is the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion MUST be dean class="hi2">aan>th. It an class="hi2">aan>lso must be an class="hi2">aan> fiction of dean class="hi2">aan>th - an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m of dean class="hi2">aan>th. It Han class="hi2">Aan>S to be. It an class="hi2">aan>lso tells us than class="hi2">aan>t therefore when the body is "an class="hi2">aan>live", the body is still inside an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m of dean class="hi2">aan>th. This an class="hi2">aan>lso tells us than class="hi2">aan>t the dean class="hi2">aan>th which occurs an class="hi2">aan>t the end of "life" is just an class="hi2">aan> symbol for dean class="hi2">aan>th, becan class="hi2">aan>use whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens before it is an class="hi2">aan>lso dean class="hi2">aan>th. This is why Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys "dean class="hi2">aan>th is not an class="hi2">aan>n end, it is an class="hi2">aan> continuan class="hi2">aan>tion."
an class="hi2">Aan>lso since the metan class="hi2">aan>physics tean class="hi2">aan>ches than class="hi2">aan>t dean class="hi2">aan>th is the opposite of life, an class="hi2">aan>nd life an class="hi2">aan>nd pean class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>re one, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore dean class="hi2">aan>th is not pean class="hi2">aan>ce, we VERY SIMPLY can class="hi2">aan>n conclude than class="hi2">aan>t it is IMPOSSIBLE for there to be dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd pean class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time. This is irrefutan class="hi2">aan>ble, perfect logic. This is the truth than class="hi2">aan>t the metan class="hi2">aan>physics tells us. It han class="hi2">aan>s nothing to do with an class="hi2">aan>nyone's opinion, an class="hi2">aan>nyone's lan class="hi2">aan>ck of understan class="hi2">aan>nding, an class="hi2">aan>nyone's version of whan class="hi2">aan>t they think is true ban class="hi2">aan>sed on their so-can class="hi2">aan>lled experiences, or an class="hi2">aan>nything else. It Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT be true than class="hi2">aan>t dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd pean class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>re the san class="hi2">aan>me thing or than class="hi2">aan>t they truly can class="hi2">aan>n be 100% experienced an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time. Yet man class="hi2">aan>ny people han class="hi2">aan>ve tried to justify than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>t pean class="hi2">aan>ce with dean class="hi2">aan>th or han class="hi2">aan>ve come to an class="hi2">aan>ccept it. They MUST be in denian class="hi2">aan>l. The metan class="hi2">aan>physics man class="hi2">aan>kes this clean class="hi2">aan>r.
an class="hi2">Aan>nother simple truth which you can class="hi2">aan>n conclude ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the simple metan class="hi2">aan>physics of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, is than class="hi2">aan>t the split mind is in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of wan class="hi2">aan>r BUT it an class="hi2">aan>lso simultan class="hi2">aan>neously NEEDS than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>r to continue, in order to man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan> sense of being less than class="hi2">aan>n whole an class="hi2">aan>nd of han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan>n opposite. If truly the opposition were completely wiped out of existence, there would be no more possibility of being an class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>r, an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>r is entirely founded on being sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> split will. So on the one han class="hi2">aan>nd, the ego now is constan class="hi2">aan>ntly trying to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd be opposed to the "other", but an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time, it MUST KEEP the other an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n enemy for an class="hi2">aan>s long an class="hi2">aan>s possible. It does not wan class="hi2">aan>nt wan class="hi2">aan>r to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly SUCCEED, it wan class="hi2">aan>nts wan class="hi2">aan>r to be CONTINUOUS.
This is an class="hi2">aan> simple logican class="hi2">aan>l conclusion ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the metan class="hi2">aan>physics of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. It's not my opinion or someone's interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion. Therefore an class="hi2">aan>ll stan class="hi2">aan>tes of conflict an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>r entan class="hi2">aan>il people choosing to suffer for an class="hi2">aan>s long an class="hi2">aan>s possible. It an class="hi2">aan>lso mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t if one group of people wins the wan class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd totan class="hi2">aan>lly wipes out the opposition, there would han class="hi2">aan>ve to be PEan class="hi2">Aan>CE, becan class="hi2">aan>use without an class="hi2">aan>n opponent there is no ban class="hi2">aan>sis for fighting. To end the wan class="hi2">aan>r would thus truly undo the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, it would be the undoing of those who tried to wan class="hi2">aan>ge wan class="hi2">aan>r, an class="hi2">aan>nd this is not whan class="hi2">aan>t the ego thought system wan class="hi2">aan>nts. This is an class="hi2">aan>ll simple logic. So if someone comes an class="hi2">aan>long an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> discussion an class="hi2">aan>bout wan class="hi2">aan>r or conflict or an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, if you gran class="hi2">aan>sp the metan class="hi2">aan>physics you can class="hi2">aan>n use it to explan class="hi2">aan>in whan class="hi2">aan>t MUST be true an class="hi2">aan>bout wan class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd conflict.
The sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God is an class="hi2">aan>n entirely CLOSED SYSTEM. There is no room for an class="hi2">aan>ccidents, there is no room for multiple opinions or interpretan class="hi2">aan>tions. There is only the Fan class="hi2">Aan>CT of whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppened. You can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccept it or you can class="hi2">aan>n deny it. If you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> solid gran class="hi2">aan>sp of the metan class="hi2">aan>physics you can class="hi2">aan>n DEPEND on it so much than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n TRUST it an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>n use it to discern whether people an class="hi2">aan>re san class="hi2">aan>ying bullshit or whether they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of the truth. It an class="hi2">aan>lso however requires than class="hi2">aan>t YOU not be in denian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd you not be man class="hi2">aan>king logican class="hi2">aan>l errors. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the fan class="hi2">aan>ct is there an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> lot of people man class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan> lot of logican class="hi2">aan>l errors. Sometimes they an class="hi2">aan>re quite subtle. But when someone thinks they know whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth is but han class="hi2">aan>ve not quite got it, they will defend it to the dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd it must produce wan class="hi2">aan>r.
Metan class="hi2">aan>physics revean class="hi2">aan>ls than class="hi2">aan>t there is only one truth. There is no room for error. There an class="hi2">aan>re fan class="hi2">aan>cts, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t's it. You don't get an class="hi2">aan>n opinion. You don't get to interpret it to fit whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nt it to be. You don't get to chan class="hi2">aan>nge it. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct, this extends to your relan class="hi2">aan>tionship with God an class="hi2">aan>nd the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t you keep trying to believe than class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s chan class="hi2">aan>nged His mind an class="hi2">aan>bout you, or than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n chan class="hi2">aan>nge God. Both must be logican class="hi2">aan>lly fan class="hi2">aan>lse. But than class="hi2">aan>t doesn't stop us believing otherwise, becan class="hi2">aan>use we an class="hi2">aan>re insan class="hi2">aan>ne. To not get the metan class="hi2">aan>physics is insan class="hi2">aan>nity, an class="hi2">aan>nd the ego will use it to confuse you an class="hi2">aan>nd delude you.
There is so much "insight" which can class="hi2">aan>n flow out an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan>ll kinds of topics if you will just lean class="hi2">aan>rn the fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>l ban class="hi2">aan>sic structure of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. It an class="hi2">aan>lso revean class="hi2">aan>ls to you than class="hi2">aan>t there rean class="hi2">aan>lly is only one problem, one drean class="hi2">aan>m, one solution. Illusions of how certan class="hi2">aan>in things seem different or unique or unlike ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, can class="hi2">aan>lling for an class="hi2">aan> specian class="hi2">aan>l explan class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>tion, can class="hi2">aan>n be "seen through" if you han class="hi2">aan>ve the metan class="hi2">aan>physics right. You will know whan class="hi2">aan>t to trust, an class="hi2">aan>nd how to discern. You will be clean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t is true an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is fan class="hi2">aan>lse. You will an class="hi2">aan>lso be an class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>zed an class="hi2">aan>t how you're an class="hi2">aan>ble to use the metan class="hi2">aan>physics an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> powerful TOOL to give you the truth - whan class="hi2">aan>t MUST be true - ban class="hi2">aan>sed on whan class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve lean class="hi2">aan>rned is logican class="hi2">aan>lly consistent, EVEN IF you han class="hi2">aan>ve never thought an class="hi2">aan>bout the pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>r topic before. The metan class="hi2">aan>physics will tell you WHan class="hi2">Aan>T IS the truth of the situan class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd MUST be true an class="hi2">aan>bout it, regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of whether you even believe it yourself.
This logican class="hi2">aan>l consistency an class="hi2">aan>lso builds upon itself. It's like, if you han class="hi2">aan>ve this blueprint an class="hi2">aan>nd you use it to plan class="hi2">aan>ce the first few pieces exan class="hi2">aan>ctly where they belong, then you stan class="hi2">aan>rt being an class="hi2">aan>ble to dran class="hi2">aan>w further logican class="hi2">aan>lly consistent conclusions from it. It's like an class="hi2">aan> jigsan class="hi2">aan>w puzzle, where if you stan class="hi2">aan>rt out with the correct corners an class="hi2">aan>nd the correct edge pieces, an class="hi2">aan>ll of the other pieces can class="hi2">aan>n be correctly positioned an class="hi2">aan>nd discerned, lean class="hi2">aan>ding to an class="hi2">aan> completely consistent whole picture. It's an class="hi2">aan>lmost like effortless lean class="hi2">aan>rning. You don't need to keep lean class="hi2">aan>rning lots of individuan class="hi2">aan>l sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te modan class="hi2">aan>lities or pieces of informan class="hi2">aan>tion. You just get this one 'guidan class="hi2">aan>nce system' which is the light of truth, the thought system of the Holy Spirit, which puts into perspective an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely everything else. You switch on this one light an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>sk IT whan class="hi2">aan>t is the truth, instean class="hi2">aan>d of being in the business of Man class="hi2">Aan>KING UP whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nt the truth to be an class="hi2">aan>ll the time, an class="hi2">aan>nd it will very obviously an class="hi2">aan>nd clean class="hi2">aan>rly tell you exan class="hi2">aan>ctly whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth is, from an class="hi2">aan> clean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd consistent perspective.
This is an class="hi2">aan>lso why it is imperan class="hi2">aan>tive to surrender your egoic an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys be the one who decides everything, to an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys be the one who decides whan class="hi2">aan>t things mean class="hi2">aan>n, to an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys han class="hi2">aan>ve your own opinion, to an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys be running "your own life" which you see an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> possession of your own sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from God's will. Trusting Holy Spirit/God is trusting the metan class="hi2">aan>physics of the truth. The metan class="hi2">aan>physics completely correlan class="hi2">aan>tes to the Holy Spirit's thought system. an class="hi2">Aan>s you trust IT, you an class="hi2">aan>re trusting HIM. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s you begin to THINK WITH it, you an class="hi2">aan>re thinking WITH HIM, an class="hi2">aan>nd you will stan class="hi2">aan>rt to han class="hi2">aan>ve thoughts which an class="hi2">aan>re in line with, compan class="hi2">aan>tible with, an class="hi2">aan>nd consistent with, HIS wan class="hi2">aan>y of thinking, which is perfectly supportive of the metan class="hi2">aan>physics. The metan class="hi2">aan>physics of truth IS the wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t the mind functions from an class="hi2">aan> true perspective.
So our opinions mean class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely nothing. Our sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te viewpoints an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ct of wan class="hi2">aan>r. Thinking we know than class="hi2">aan>t our interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion of the Course is right, unless it an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly IS in line with Holy Spirit's thought system, MUST be an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of denian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd MUST entan class="hi2">aan>il the an class="hi2">aan>uthority problem - the ego trying to be the one who determines whan class="hi2">aan>t is true or not. Only the truth is true. We can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccept it, or we can class="hi2">aan>n be in denian class="hi2">aan>l. If we an class="hi2">aan>re in denian class="hi2">aan>l, believing we know the truth, we an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. You can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccept God's love, or you can class="hi2">aan>n reject it, but you can class="hi2">aan>nnot chan class="hi2">aan>nge it. You can class="hi2">aan>n deny than class="hi2">aan>t God is rean class="hi2">aan>l but than class="hi2">aan>t won't chan class="hi2">aan>nge the metan class="hi2">aan>physics of rean class="hi2">aan>lity whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever. You can class="hi2">aan>n pretend an class="hi2">aan>ll you wan class="hi2">aan>nt, but ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely, an class="hi2">aan>ll of rean class="hi2">aan>lity is an class="hi2">aan> CLOSED SYSTEM with no options an class="hi2">aan>nd no an class="hi2">aan>lternan class="hi2">aan>tives. It is whan class="hi2">aan>t it is. Trying to man class="hi2">aan>ke it be something it is not, is ego, an class="hi2">aan>nd WILL produce the illusion of dean class="hi2">aan>th.

The real world as a transcendental holographic experience

God an class="hi2">aan>nd his Kingdom an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> perfect hologran class="hi2">aan>m, in which the whole is in every pan class="hi2">aan>rt, an class="hi2">aan>nd every pan class="hi2">aan>rt is the whole.
But then there wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. The sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n event where we tried to deny the wholeness but keep the pan class="hi2">aan>rts.
If an class="hi2">aan>nother nan class="hi2">aan>me for the wholeness is "non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity" (or oneness), an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>nother nan class="hi2">aan>me for the pan class="hi2">aan>rts is "duan class="hi2">aan>lity", we tried to keep the duan class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd reject the non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity. To "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te off" our selves from God, retan class="hi2">aan>ining only our sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te selves without shan class="hi2">aan>ring an class="hi2">aan>nything.
This resulted in whan class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>ll seemingly span class="hi2">aan>cetime - the drean class="hi2">aan>m of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion - which depicts "exclusive duan class="hi2">aan>lity" an class="hi2">aan>s though it's ONLY duan class="hi2">aan>lity with no oneness.
In span class="hi2">aan>cetime we han class="hi2">aan>ve perception. Perception can class="hi2">aan>n go to extremes of denian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>cceptan class="hi2">aan>nce of God. In fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception it rejects the oneness entirely, while in true perception it an class="hi2">aan>ccepts it.
True perception shows you "the rean class="hi2">aan>l world", which is an class="hi2">aan>nother wan class="hi2">aan>y of san class="hi2">aan>ying "the world an class="hi2">aan>s it is without the distortions of your insan class="hi2">aan>nity projected onto it".
This "rean class="hi2">aan>l world"... han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> quan class="hi2">aan>lity of WHOLENESS. This wholeness is sort of like an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m version of oneness. It is an class="hi2">aan>lso can class="hi2">aan>lled the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ. It's like the wholeness an class="hi2">aan>spect of God's divine hologran class="hi2">aan>m but in drean class="hi2">aan>m form - an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> "picture".
So an class="hi2">aan>s you rean class="hi2">aan>ch the rean class="hi2">aan>l-world level of perception, you're entering into an class="hi2">aan> sort of hologran class="hi2">aan>phic experience of span class="hi2">aan>cetime. Than class="hi2">aan>t is, you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ccessing an class="hi2">aan> sense of oneness an class="hi2">aan>nd wholeness an class="hi2">aan>nd unlimitedness, in which you expan class="hi2">aan>nd to the size of the universe an class="hi2">aan>nd seem to contan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>ll of it within you.
In this view, you see than class="hi2">aan>t the whole is in every pan class="hi2">aan>rt. Every object's sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>teness no longer "mean class="hi2">aan>ns" or "tells you" than class="hi2">aan>t sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion is true. Instean class="hi2">aan>d, you see the WHOLE reflected in every pan class="hi2">aan>rt. an class="hi2">Aan>s though, an class="hi2">aan>ll of the PICTURE of wholeness is present in every individuan class="hi2">aan>l object.
This isn't merely the san class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>s wan class="hi2">aan>king up an class="hi2">aan>nd being more an class="hi2">aan>lert an class="hi2">aan>nd seeing the san class="hi2">aan>me sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te objects hean class="hi2">aan>d-on with some kind of enhan class="hi2">aan>nced an class="hi2">aan>lertness. It's an class="hi2">aan> mindset in which you han class="hi2">aan>ve this grean class="hi2">aan>tly expan class="hi2">aan>nded wholeness, an class="hi2">aan> sort of reflection of oneness, which is seen to TRan class="hi2">Aan>NSCEND an class="hi2">aan>ll boundan class="hi2">aan>ries an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tions.
This tran class="hi2">aan>nscendentan class="hi2">aan>l experience shows you than class="hi2">aan>t the REFLECTION of God is in every pan class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>nd speck of man class="hi2">aan>tter ("God is in everything I see"). an class="hi2">Aan>ll of God is pictured "in" every gran class="hi2">aan>in of san class="hi2">aan>nd. Not simply than class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s squeezed himself into one gran class="hi2">aan>in, but than class="hi2">aan>t he is simultan class="hi2">aan>neously in ean class="hi2">aan>ch an class="hi2">aan>nd every individuan class="hi2">aan>l gran class="hi2">aan>in, an class="hi2">aan>nd not in an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of compromising wan class="hi2">aan>y either. an class="hi2">Aan>LL of him is in EVERY pan class="hi2">aan>rt.
Note however the man class="hi2">aan>in difference between the hologran class="hi2">aan>phic experience of span class="hi2">aan>cetime an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ven, is than class="hi2">aan>t hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">Aan>CTUan class="hi2">Aan>L perfect hologran class="hi2">aan>m, wherean class="hi2">aan>s span class="hi2">aan>cetime is an class="hi2">aan>n IMan class="hi2">Aan>GE OF an class="hi2">aan> perfect hologran class="hi2">aan>m - an class="hi2">aan> PICTURE. This is why it's an class="hi2">aan>lso can class="hi2">aan>lled the Fan class="hi2">Aan>CE of Christ an class="hi2">aan>nd not Christ itself.
So in our wan class="hi2">aan>king up here in/from this world, we should expect to find than class="hi2">aan>t the seeming sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te differences of objects man class="hi2">aan>tter less an class="hi2">aan>nd mean class="hi2">aan>n less. Their forms don't tell us of an class="hi2">aan> hieran class="hi2">aan>rchy. an class="hi2">Aan>ll differences become equan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd irrelevan class="hi2">aan>nt. We overlook them, which is forgiveness. an class="hi2">Aan>nd instean class="hi2">aan>d of focusing on letting the forms BLIND us to an class="hi2">aan> oneness, we instean class="hi2">aan>d see an class="hi2">aan> tran class="hi2">aan>nscendentan class="hi2">aan>l oneness pervan class="hi2">aan>ding the forms an class="hi2">aan>nd showing than class="hi2">aan>t the forms an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y of OBSCURING the hologran class="hi2">aan>m.

Why do we have a body at all?

I wan class="hi2">aan>s thinking an class="hi2">aan>bout why we seem to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.
It occurred to me than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll ego illusions an class="hi2">aan>re put in plan class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> form of level confusion. When the drean class="hi2">aan>m (effect) seems to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>bility, it does something "to you". This produces illusions of effects in you, an class="hi2">aan>nd in your body. Believing than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>use is outside of you instean class="hi2">aan>d of inside of you, man class="hi2">aan>kes the world ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly tell you whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you comply.
The body showing up, then, shows us not so much than class="hi2">aan>t it's being projected from inside the body itself, but is showing up an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n iman class="hi2">aan>ge which is being "can class="hi2">aan>used by" the world. By an class="hi2">aan>ll of the ego's lan class="hi2">aan>ws, the body is only there becan class="hi2">aan>use the world put it there. It's only there becan class="hi2">aan>use there is level confusion. It's only there becan class="hi2">aan>use you believe in man class="hi2">aan>gic. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it's only there becan class="hi2">aan>use you see yourself an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n effect of your drean class="hi2">aan>m.
Effects within drean class="hi2">aan>ms show up an class="hi2">aan>s "forms". an class="hi2">Aan>ll thoughts produce form an class="hi2">aan>t some level an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll ego thoughts produce illusions of forms. Belief in ego therefore mean class="hi2">aan>ns you believe the world is the can class="hi2">aan>use of you, an class="hi2">aan>nd this belief an class="hi2">Aan>LONE plan class="hi2">aan>ces an class="hi2">aan>n IMan class="hi2">Aan>GE of an class="hi2">aan> body over your mind. It is an class="hi2">aan> picture of whan class="hi2">aan>t is seen from OUTSIDE of you looking inwan class="hi2">aan>rds (reversed can class="hi2">aan>use-effect), which is why everyone ELSE sees it.
But rean class="hi2">aan>lly the body is nothing but an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of an class="hi2">aan> belief in externan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>uses, an class="hi2">aan> projection of ego sin. "The body is the belief in sin projected outwan class="hi2">aan>rd an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>de flesh." - an class="hi2">Aan>CIM
So we believe in sin, which sets up an class="hi2">aan> reversan class="hi2">aan>l of can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect, which crean class="hi2">aan>tes level confusion, which man class="hi2">aan>kes it seem like our drean class="hi2">aan>m is drean class="hi2">aan>ming us, which feeds ban class="hi2">aan>ck towan class="hi2">aan>rds us an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> body which is perceived, from the outside in. Projection man class="hi2">aan>kes perception.
This is an class="hi2">aan>lso why when level confusion is completely corrected, whan class="hi2">aan>t is true is recognized an class="hi2">aan>s true, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is fan class="hi2">aan>lse is fan class="hi2">aan>lse, THERE Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT BE an class="hi2">Aan> BODY. The body can class="hi2">aan>nnot SEPan class="hi2">Aan>Ran class="hi2">Aan>TE YOU from whan class="hi2">aan>t is or from yourself. You an class="hi2">aan>re no longer being "can class="hi2">aan>used" by the world. There is no longer proof than class="hi2">aan>t you were man class="hi2">aan>de by man class="hi2">aan>tter. You now han class="hi2">aan>ve mind over man class="hi2">aan>tter an class="hi2">aan>nd your inverted perception from the outside-in will now turn inside out an class="hi2">aan>nd be in its correct order. The body can class="hi2">aan>nnot show up an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll when there is no belief in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion or illusions. This is why Jesus's body disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>red.

How an ancient hatred becomes a present love

"Hean class="hi2">aan>ling is when two minds recognize their oneness an class="hi2">aan>nd become glan class="hi2">aan>d."
Yean class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>go I used to han class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan> person.

I han class="hi2">aan>d built up an class="hi2">aan> consideran class="hi2">aan>ble can class="hi2">aan>se an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst them an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttempted to get others on boan class="hi2">aan>rd to an class="hi2">aan>gree with me.

It wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">Aan>LL their fan class="hi2">aan>ult.
For man class="hi2">aan>ny yean class="hi2">aan>rs this went on. I wan class="hi2">aan>nted to put an class="hi2">aan>s much distan class="hi2">aan>nce between myself an class="hi2">aan>nd them an class="hi2">aan>s possible. I didn't wan class="hi2">aan>nt an class="hi2">aan>nything to do with them. I even moved to live in an class="hi2">aan>nother plan class="hi2">aan>ce to get an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from them. I wan class="hi2">aan>s quite sure they were the enemy an class="hi2">aan>nd I did man class="hi2">aan>ny things to emphan class="hi2">aan>size the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between us. I wan class="hi2">aan>nted to be not an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted with them (disan class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted) an class="hi2">aan>nd pushed them an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y, did not an class="hi2">aan>llow us to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> relan class="hi2">aan>tionship, an class="hi2">aan>nd despised them.

an class="hi2">Aan> moment han class="hi2">aan>ppened where, in their presence an class="hi2">aan>nd in the midst of secretly wan class="hi2">aan>nting not to be an class="hi2">aan>round them, an class="hi2">aan>ccusing them of sin, an class="hi2">aan>ll of an class="hi2">aan> sudden this idean class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>me into my mind. It wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> shocking idean class="hi2">aan>, but it wan class="hi2">aan>s unan class="hi2">aan>voidan class="hi2">aan>bly obvious. Somehow, this person wan class="hi2">aan>s me.

I han class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan> kind of oneness experience for an class="hi2">aan> moment. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the "tan class="hi2">aan>rget" than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys thought wan class="hi2">aan>s "than class="hi2">aan>t person", suddenly wan class="hi2">aan>s revean class="hi2">aan>led to be ME.
This experience wan class="hi2">aan>s so completely opposite to everything I han class="hi2">aan>d thought an class="hi2">aan>nd felt an class="hi2">aan>bout this person.

This wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>jor turning point in the relan class="hi2">aan>tionship. It totan class="hi2">aan>lly turned it on its hean class="hi2">aan>d, but gran class="hi2">aan>duan class="hi2">aan>lly. Not merely in the relan class="hi2">aan>tionship to than class="hi2">aan>t person but an class="hi2">aan>lso the relan class="hi2">aan>tionship with myself.

The more I an class="hi2">aan>llowed myself to hean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd relean class="hi2">aan>se than class="hi2">aan>t, the less it an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>red to be an class="hi2">aan>nything to rean class="hi2">aan>lly do with than class="hi2">aan>t person an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.

The more I projected, using han class="hi2">aan>te to increan class="hi2">aan>se the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, the less it SEEMED to be an class="hi2">aan>nything to do with myself. It wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>bout them. I an class="hi2">aan>s I hean class="hi2">aan>led, so too did my view of this person. an class="hi2">Aan>s I undid my own self an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, the impression of offense, victimhood, enemies an class="hi2">aan>nd projective blan class="hi2">aan>me, I stopped being so triggered by this person or believing it wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>bout them an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. My an class="hi2">aan>ttention turned within to the enemy I'd man class="hi2">aan>de of myself.
Over time, my relan class="hi2">aan>tionship to than class="hi2">aan>t person han class="hi2">aan>s improved profoundly. an class="hi2">Aan>lmost an class="hi2">aan>ll of the blan class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>nd scan class="hi2">aan>pegoan class="hi2">aan>ting han class="hi2">aan>s stopped.

In the course, we know than class="hi2">aan>t Jesus tells us how we project stuff out an class="hi2">aan>nd then perceive it. Okan class="hi2">aan>y, man class="hi2">aan>kes sense. But for the most pan class="hi2">aan>rt, it man class="hi2">aan>kes sense an class="hi2">aan>t the level of you an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n individuan class="hi2">aan>l perceiving "the world out there" in an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in wan class="hi2">aan>y, than class="hi2">aan>t you've got stuff "inside your mind, inside your body", which you're putting onto the world.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd then we think than class="hi2">aan>t the course is an class="hi2">aan>lso telling us to "chan class="hi2">aan>nge our mind an class="hi2">aan>bout the world", mean class="hi2">aan>ning, the world stan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>s it is, an class="hi2">aan>nd we need to "see it differently." This is becan class="hi2">aan>use we an class="hi2">aan>pply it an class="hi2">aan>t the level of an class="hi2">aan>n individuan class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>ssuming the world got there through some other mean class="hi2">aan>ns.
BUT HOW an class="hi2">Aan>BOUT THIS.......*roll up your sleeves*
The Son of God is drean class="hi2">aan>ming the entire physican class="hi2">aan>l universe. He is PROJECTING IT. He is doing so using the power of his mind, which han class="hi2">aan>s within it the power to perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles.
HE projects an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>kes the world an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r. HE then perceives whan class="hi2">aan>t he han class="hi2">aan>s projected. Therefore, if HE chan class="hi2">aan>nges HIS MIND, an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t he han class="hi2">aan>s projected, the projected world WILL LITERan class="hi2">Aan>LLY CHan class="hi2">Aan>NGE FORM, PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>LLY!
Not your "view of the world". THE WORLD ITSELF WILL CHan class="hi2">Aan>NGE. an class="hi2">Aan> direct power of the mind over man class="hi2">aan>tter, an class="hi2">aan> power to man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">Aan>T WILL. Not you shifting your little privan class="hi2">aan>te perspective to "see it differently".... but your mind, an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly Can class="hi2">Aan>USING THE WORLD TO CHan class="hi2">Aan>NGE, by projecting an class="hi2">Aan> DIFFERENT WORLD! an class="hi2">Aan>T THE PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>L LEVEL!
With this viewpoint in mind, consider, than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>ybe when you rean class="hi2">aan>d stan class="hi2">aan>tements an class="hi2">aan>bout perception, projection, whan class="hi2">aan>t you see, the world you see, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t chan class="hi2">aan>nges or shifts when you chan class="hi2">aan>nge your perception, Man class="hi2">Aan>YBE... you rean class="hi2">aan>d it in an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in context thinking it wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>bout your view OF the world, an class="hi2">aan>nd didn't rean class="hi2">aan>lize it wan class="hi2">aan>s tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout YOU Man class="hi2">Aan>KING THE WORLD LITERan class="hi2">Aan>LLY CHan class="hi2">Aan>NGE WITH YOUR MIND. an class="hi2">Aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t if we revisit those stan class="hi2">aan>tements an class="hi2">aan>nd consider them from this new perspective?
Here we go...
"Projection man class="hi2">aan>kes perception. The world than class="hi2">aan>t you see is whan class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve put there to see; nothing more an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing less an class="hi2">aan>nd so it is importan class="hi2">aan>nt to you."
---- How an class="hi2">aan>bout this.... "the world you see" mean class="hi2">aan>ns the physican class="hi2">aan>l ean class="hi2">aan>rth an class="hi2">aan>nd NOT your interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion of it.
---- "whan class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve put there to see" is becan class="hi2">aan>use YOUR MIND han class="hi2">aan>s literan class="hi2">aan>lly projected PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>L OBJECTS, in order to see them.
"The world than class="hi2">aan>t you perceive is the witness to your stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind, the outwan class="hi2">aan>rd picture of your inwan class="hi2">aan>rd condition."
--- How an class="hi2">aan>bout this... "witness to your stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd outwan class="hi2">aan>rd picture of your inwan class="hi2">aan>rd condition", literan class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns, THE PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>L FORMS THan class="hi2">Aan>T an class="hi2">Aan>RE SHOWING UP, an class="hi2">aan>re being put there by your mind! They reflect whan class="hi2">aan>t's going on inside of you. This relan class="hi2">aan>tes to YOUR BODY, an class="hi2">aan>s well an class="hi2">aan>s to objects in the physican class="hi2">aan>l environment. Your body shows up an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> representan class="hi2">aan>tion of how your mind is expressing (love or an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck), an class="hi2">aan>nd SO DOES THE ENVIRONMENT. The environment is being projected this wan class="hi2">aan>y BY THE SON OF GOD who is responsible for putting an class="hi2">aan>ll of the content into the world, an class="hi2">aan>ll objects, an class="hi2">aan>ll forms. You an class="hi2">aan>re PROJECTING THE WORLD LITERan class="hi2">Aan>LLY, not just an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> metan class="hi2">aan>phor, nor an class="hi2">aan>nything to do with you han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te" perception of whan class="hi2">aan>t is out there.
--- How an class="hi2">aan>bout.. projection man class="hi2">aan>kes perception, an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns, you FIRST PUT OBJECTS INTO THE WORLD, then you perceive them! NOT... than class="hi2">aan>t you project mentan class="hi2">aan>l interpretan class="hi2">aan>tions ONTO the objects an class="hi2">aan>nd perceive the interpretan class="hi2">aan>tions! Whan class="hi2">aan>t if, chan class="hi2">aan>nging your mind, literan class="hi2">aan>lly will show up an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> DIFFERENT WORLD OF FORM? Whan class="hi2">aan>t if you will project an class="hi2">aan> different ean class="hi2">aan>rth?!
"an class="hi2">Aan>s you think so do you perceive. So do not seek to chan class="hi2">aan>nge the world but choose to chan class="hi2">aan>nge your mind an class="hi2">aan>bout the world's rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Whan class="hi2">aan>t you perceive is an class="hi2">aan> result, not an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use."
--- How an class="hi2">aan>bout this... "whan class="hi2">aan>t you perceive is an class="hi2">aan> result, not an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use", tells us than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t we see, in an class="hi2">aan>ny form of seeing, is not can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity, becan class="hi2">aan>use THERE IS NO Can class="hi2">Aan>USE IN THE WORLD. Whan class="hi2">aan>t we see out there, objects, can class="hi2">aan>rs, people, houses, trees, is the RESULT of whan class="hi2">aan>t we Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT TO BE OUT THERE.
--- How an class="hi2">aan>bout, our minds an class="hi2">aan>re so powerful an class="hi2">aan>nd strong, an class="hi2">aan>nd crean class="hi2">aan>tive, they an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>RE an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS, projecting iman class="hi2">aan>ges of bodies an class="hi2">aan>nd trees an class="hi2">aan>nd houses an class="hi2">aan>nd other stuff, literan class="hi2">aan>lly Man class="hi2">Aan>TERIan class="hi2">Aan>LIZING Man class="hi2">Aan>TTER, ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the inner content of our mind!
--- How an class="hi2">aan>bout, when Jesus tells us to not to seek to chan class="hi2">aan>nge the world, he is an class="hi2">Aan>CTUan class="hi2">Aan>LLY telling us, than class="hi2">aan>t there's no point chan class="hi2">aan>nging the RESULT of whan class="hi2">aan>t we project, we MIGHT an class="hi2">Aan>S WELL JUST PROJECT SOMETHING ELSE. Since we han class="hi2">aan>ve the an class="hi2">aan>bility to PUT objects out there, which we then perceive, we might an class="hi2">aan>s well just chan class="hi2">aan>nge our mind an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t to PUT THERE, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore chan class="hi2">aan>nge the content of the world! Chan class="hi2">aan>nging your mind "an class="hi2">aan>bout the world" therefore mean class="hi2">aan>ns to shift whan class="hi2">aan>t you Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT TO SEE, an class="hi2">aan>nd so be it, IT WILL an class="hi2">Aan>PPEan class="hi2">Aan>R!
"Than class="hi2">aan>t is why no miran class="hi2">aan>cle is han class="hi2">aan>rder than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nother."
--- How an class="hi2">aan>bout this... miran class="hi2">aan>cles demonstran class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t nothing in this world is can class="hi2">aan>used by an class="hi2">aan>nything but your mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd they an class="hi2">aan>re only effects, projections, from YOU, an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing would even be showing up OUT THERE if YOU weren't putting stuff there with your mind right now, an class="hi2">aan>s you han class="hi2">aan>ve been an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>long. Your body, your world, your environment, an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll coming from the miran class="hi2">aan>cle-minded son of God. Therefore, just an class="hi2">aan>s miran class="hi2">aan>cles can class="hi2">aan>n Ean class="hi2">Aan>SILY CHan class="hi2">Aan>NGE whan class="hi2">aan>t is out there, so too do you han class="hi2">aan>ve the an class="hi2">aan>bility to CHan class="hi2">Aan>NGE THE WORLD by USING an class="hi2">Aan> MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CLE, an class="hi2">aan>nd there is no limit to whan class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n do.
Perhan class="hi2">aan>ps then, Jesus isn't so much tean class="hi2">aan>ching us here, in this context, an class="hi2">aan>bout chan class="hi2">aan>nging "how we view" the world or whan class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>ys we're misinterpreting it an class="hi2">aan>nd so on. How an class="hi2">aan>bout, if he is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly telling us than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t's showing up out there, is COMING FROM US an class="hi2">Aan>T an class="hi2">Aan>LL TIMES, an class="hi2">aan>nd we an class="hi2">aan>re supposed to be in an class="hi2">aan> position of han class="hi2">aan>ving this kind of man class="hi2">aan>stery, where we can class="hi2">aan>n CHOOSE, whan class="hi2">aan>tever it is than class="hi2">aan>t is going to show up, BECan class="hi2">Aan>USE we an class="hi2">aan>re miran class="hi2">aan>culous an class="hi2">aan>nd our mind han class="hi2">aan>s POWER OVER an class="hi2">Aan>LL Man class="hi2">Aan>TTER?!
We an class="hi2">aan>re supernan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l. We an class="hi2">aan>re not bystan class="hi2">aan>nders in an class="hi2">aan> world than class="hi2">aan>t someone else man class="hi2">aan>de.
Jesus goes onto san class="hi2">aan>y similan class="hi2">aan>r things in other quotes, which COULD an class="hi2">aan>lso lend themselves to an class="hi2">aan>n entirely new interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion of how we project the world, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout how you "interpret" whan class="hi2">aan>t's there.
For exan class="hi2">aan>mple:
"The world you see is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of an class="hi2">aan> world." (literan class="hi2">aan>lly the world itself, not HOW you see it)
"You an class="hi2">aan>re not the victim of the world you see becan class="hi2">aan>use you invented it.

"Every thought you han class="hi2">aan>ve man class="hi2">aan>kes up some segment of the world you see.

(literan class="hi2">aan>lly your thought Man class="hi2">Aan>KES THE WORLD, the PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>L PLan class="hi2">Aan>NET, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore you need to chan class="hi2">aan>nge your mind in order to SEE something else!)

Whan class="hi2">aan>t if an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>long, Jesus han class="hi2">aan>s been trying to get us to chan class="hi2">aan>nge our mind, SO THan class="hi2">Aan>T we project an class="hi2">aan> different world? an class="hi2">Aan> han class="hi2">aan>ppy drean class="hi2">aan>m?

The healing power of holding a forgiving space

It can class="hi2">aan>n be very theran class="hi2">aan>peutic to just listen an class="hi2">aan>nd be still an class="hi2">aan>nd judge not while someone expresses themeslves. This is the essence of being forgiving.
"Forgiveness … is still, an class="hi2">aan>nd quietly does nothing. … It merely looks, an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>its, an class="hi2">aan>nd judges not" - an class="hi2">Aan>CIM
When we an class="hi2">aan>ll han class="hi2">aan>ve egos, we're an class="hi2">aan>ll so busy not listening. We're too busy broan class="hi2">aan>dcan class="hi2">aan>sting an class="hi2">aan>nd tran class="hi2">aan>nsmitting illusions an class="hi2">aan>nd stories to man class="hi2">aan>ke ourselves specian class="hi2">aan>l.
Even if you're in an class="hi2">aan> conversan class="hi2">aan>tion with someone an class="hi2">aan>nd you're supposedly listening, you're proban class="hi2">aan>bly still not FULLY listening becan class="hi2">aan>use you're not in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of forgiveness.
Instean class="hi2">aan>d you're stan class="hi2">aan>rting to mentan class="hi2">aan>lly engan class="hi2">aan>ge with whan class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s san class="hi2">aan>id, an class="hi2">aan>re stan class="hi2">aan>rting to process it, an class="hi2">aan>re chewing on it, judging it, judging the person, thinking an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t to san class="hi2">aan>y, han class="hi2">aan>ving memories of your own personan class="hi2">aan>l story, resisting the person an class="hi2">aan>nd hoping they will shut up soon, etc. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of these an class="hi2">aan>ctivities mean class="hi2">aan>n you an class="hi2">aan>re not being forgiving, but it an class="hi2">aan>lso mean class="hi2">aan>ns you an class="hi2">aan>re not fully listening. You're not pan class="hi2">aan>ying full an class="hi2">aan>ttention. You an class="hi2">aan>re not being fully present becan class="hi2">aan>use you're lost in your own ego.
So then when the person spean class="hi2">aan>ks, they sense this. They know in the mind/energetic level than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re not being hean class="hi2">aan>rd. They know than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re limits an class="hi2">aan>nd boundan class="hi2">aan>ries in plan class="hi2">aan>ce, which you put there, which an class="hi2">aan>re your an class="hi2">aan>ttempts to man class="hi2">aan>ke them stop an class="hi2">aan>nd shut up. Especian class="hi2">aan>lly if you stan class="hi2">aan>rt to offer an class="hi2">aan>dvice or tan class="hi2">aan>lk over them or try to stop their expression. Man class="hi2">aan>ybe their expression is very ego an class="hi2">aan>nd it triggers you an class="hi2">aan>nd you just wan class="hi2">aan>nt it to stop becan class="hi2">aan>use you can class="hi2">aan>n't just be still.
The result of this is than class="hi2">aan>t the person does not feel permitted to fully express themselves. They don't feel than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re listening, than class="hi2">aan>t you recognize them deep down, than class="hi2">aan>t you rean class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>re unconditionan class="hi2">aan>lly, or than class="hi2">aan>t you even wan class="hi2">aan>nt them to continue. They will tan class="hi2">aan>ke these cues, consciously or not, an class="hi2">aan>nd it will stop them fully expressing.
We an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll so used to wan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>round in an class="hi2">aan> world where everyone is an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys broan class="hi2">aan>dcan class="hi2">aan>sting than class="hi2">aan>t we feel terribly constipan class="hi2">aan>ted with ego energies, feelings an class="hi2">aan>nd expressions, which an class="hi2">aan>re not being an class="hi2">Aan>LLOWED to fully express. Nobody is listening! an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t's becan class="hi2">aan>use everyone han class="hi2">aan>s egos an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re not in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of forgiveness. Forgiveness is an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind of stillness an class="hi2">aan>nd listening an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>llowing an class="hi2">aan>nd presence an class="hi2">aan>nd non-judgement. Than class="hi2">aan>t's the stan class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t we're sorely lan class="hi2">aan>cking in this world.
This stan class="hi2">aan>te is an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of "holding span class="hi2">aan>ce". It mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re so still an class="hi2">aan>nd clean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd non-judging an class="hi2">aan>nd present than class="hi2">aan>t you simply an class="hi2">aan>llow an class="hi2">aan>nd listen an class="hi2">aan>nd permit everything. You do not resist, you do not get can class="hi2">aan>ught up in your own thoughts, you don't get lost in your own rean class="hi2">aan>ctions, an class="hi2">aan>nd you don't try to stop the person. If you do this for someone an class="hi2">aan>nd you let them just express, you will notice something rean class="hi2">aan>lly interesting han class="hi2">aan>ppens.
Not only will they express themselves an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll their ego stories, feelings an class="hi2">aan>nd thoughts, but they will seem to rean class="hi2">aan>lly go overboan class="hi2">aan>rd, over the top with man class="hi2">aan>jor ego expression. Given permission than class="hi2">aan>t it's okan class="hi2">aan>y to express fully, an class="hi2">aan>s proven by your forgiving willingness to listen an class="hi2">aan>nd be present, it an class="hi2">aan>ll just comes flooding out. The person doesn't even quite know why they an class="hi2">aan>re doing this. They can class="hi2">aan>n seem to become "very ego" while they do this. YOU MUST NOT try to stop than class="hi2">aan>t. It's good. They an class="hi2">aan>re venting. Man class="hi2">aan>ybe for the first time someone is finan class="hi2">aan>lly fully listening to their hean class="hi2">aan>rt's pan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd they can class="hi2">aan>n therefore finan class="hi2">aan>lly let it out an class="hi2">aan>nd let it go an class="hi2">aan>ll the wan class="hi2">aan>y.
People an class="hi2">aan>re nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l expressers. Even if it's ego shit coming out an class="hi2">aan>nd totan class="hi2">aan>lly bullshit, they still need to express it, an class="hi2">aan>nd not being in an class="hi2">aan> situan class="hi2">aan>tion where it's san class="hi2">aan>fe an class="hi2">aan>nd okan class="hi2">aan>y - unconditionan class="hi2">aan>lly okan class="hi2">aan>y - to be an class="hi2">aan>s ego an class="hi2">aan>s they like, it just stan class="hi2">aan>ys stuck inside.
an class="hi2">Aan>lso when you an class="hi2">aan>re in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of holding span class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd being fully present with the person, where you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly giving your FULL an class="hi2">Aan>TTENTION while simultan class="hi2">aan>neously ban class="hi2">aan>cking totan class="hi2">aan>lly off from expressing an class="hi2">aan>nything of your own, this crean class="hi2">aan>tes an class="hi2">aan> kind of "span class="hi2">aan>ce". Than class="hi2">aan>t is, your intense an class="hi2">aan>ttention connects to the person where they an class="hi2">aan>re, an class="hi2">aan>nd the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re totan class="hi2">aan>lly withholding your own expression crean class="hi2">aan>tes "span class="hi2">aan>ce" in between the two of you. It's an class="hi2">aan> span class="hi2">aan>ce than class="hi2">aan>t you're not flooding with your own expressions, becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re RECEIVING.
This span class="hi2">aan>ce is held by the mind an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly be an class="hi2">aan>n energetic presence. You form it with your EMPan class="hi2">Aan>THY. In True Empan class="hi2">aan>thy you an class="hi2">aan>re listening intently an class="hi2">aan>nd shan class="hi2">aan>ring an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan>nd unconditionan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>cceptan class="hi2">aan>nce, WITHOUT ENTERING INTO the person's problem. This is TRUE empan class="hi2">aan>thy. Empan class="hi2">aan>thising without engan class="hi2">aan>ging or joining in or man class="hi2">aan>king rean class="hi2">aan>l the illusions than class="hi2">aan>t flow out in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t doesn't just mean class="hi2">aan>n be quiet on the outside, you must be totan class="hi2">aan>lly present an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttentive INSIDE your mind an class="hi2">aan>s well, otherwise you an class="hi2">aan>re distran class="hi2">aan>cted with ego an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re not listening.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use there is an class="hi2">aan> kind of lan class="hi2">aan>w than class="hi2">aan>t nan class="hi2">aan>ture fills an class="hi2">aan> van class="hi2">aan>cuum, their ego is SUCKED OUT. It pours out to fill the span class="hi2">aan>ce. Or to put it an class="hi2">aan>nother wan class="hi2">aan>y, your willingness to FULLY RECEIVE an class="hi2">aan>llows them to FULLY EXPRESS. The person man class="hi2">aan>y not even rean class="hi2">aan>lize they an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>lly digging deep an class="hi2">aan>nd shan class="hi2">aan>ring an class="hi2">aan>ll their deep dan class="hi2">aan>rk secrets an class="hi2">aan>nd even stan class="hi2">aan>ting emban class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ssing egoic "secrets" than class="hi2">aan>t they never told an class="hi2">aan>nyone. Onlookers might judge them an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>bel them an class="hi2">aan>s evil! But you han class="hi2">aan>ve to let it just flow out into the span class="hi2">aan>ce. Just listen, fully. Give your full an class="hi2">aan>ttention in silence.
an class="hi2">Aan>fter the person han class="hi2">aan>s "finished" expressing, han class="hi2">aan>ving been hean class="hi2">aan>rd deeply perhan class="hi2">aan>ps for the first time ever, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan>ired tons of dirty lan class="hi2">aan>undry an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd everything in between, they will tell you... if you succeeded in this .... they'll tell you, they feel TREMENDOUSLY PEan class="hi2">Aan>CEFUL. They got it out! They finan class="hi2">aan>lly could let it an class="hi2">aan>ll out an class="hi2">aan>nd let it go instean class="hi2">aan>d of han class="hi2">aan>ving it shoved han class="hi2">aan>lfwan class="hi2">aan>y down their throan class="hi2">aan>t by everyone else who is too self-an class="hi2">aan>bsorbed to ever give them permission to fully express.
I han class="hi2">aan>ve done this before, by an class="hi2">aan>ccident. I didn't know whan class="hi2">aan>t I wan class="hi2">aan>s doing, but I wan class="hi2">aan>s doing it. I recan class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan> person an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>n old job who stan class="hi2">aan>rted to bran class="hi2">aan>g. He wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l bran class="hi2">aan>gger. But an class="hi2">aan>s he did, instean class="hi2">aan>d of wan class="hi2">aan>nting to shut him up an class="hi2">aan>s such, I just pan class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>ttention an class="hi2">aan>nd let him get on with it. I held span class="hi2">aan>ce, sort of an class="hi2">aan>ccidentan class="hi2">aan>lly. an class="hi2">Aan>nd he just kept going, an class="hi2">aan>nd going, an class="hi2">aan>nd going. He rean class="hi2">aan>lly rean class="hi2">aan>lly vented, an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>rted even telling me an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan>ll these secret exploits an class="hi2">aan>nd perversions than class="hi2">aan>t he'd been doing, just an class="hi2">aan> grean class="hi2">aan>t big gian class="hi2">aan>nt ego bran class="hi2">aan>g. He didn't even know why he wan class="hi2">aan>s expressing so much, he just kept going! an class="hi2">Aan>n onlooker judged him, not understan class="hi2">aan>nding whan class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppening, telling him than class="hi2">aan>t he should stop tan class="hi2">aan>lking becan class="hi2">aan>use he wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan> fool of himself. But it wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> HEan class="hi2">Aan>LING.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd then,..... he wound down, an class="hi2">aan>nd he san class="hi2">aan>id, he couldn't believe how pean class="hi2">aan>ceful he felt. He wan class="hi2">aan>s shocked an class="hi2">aan>t how can class="hi2">aan>lm he wan class="hi2">aan>s. It wan class="hi2">aan>s simple. Pan class="hi2">aan>y full an class="hi2">aan>ttention an class="hi2">aan>nd be fully present without your own mentan class="hi2">aan>l noise.
an class="hi2">Aan>lso, if an class="hi2">aan> person is quite shy or sensitive, introverted or han class="hi2">aan>s difficulty or fean class="hi2">aan>r expressing themselves, this is like GOLD. If you an class="hi2">aan>re like this, you know than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re very much put off by the loud intensity of everyone else's expressions, an class="hi2">aan>nd usuan class="hi2">aan>lly you will only express yourself to one individuan class="hi2">aan>l in an class="hi2">aan> secret corner when no-one else is looking. Only if there is nean class="hi2">aan>r silence do you feel permitted to man class="hi2">aan>ke sound, to spean class="hi2">aan>k, or to express yourself. You an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>lly sensitive an class="hi2">aan>nd everyone's just "regulan class="hi2">aan>r" level of expression is experienced an class="hi2">aan>s like LOUD. Like, they're shouting an class="hi2">aan>ll the time an class="hi2">aan>nd don't rean class="hi2">aan>lly wan class="hi2">aan>nt to hean class="hi2">aan>r you an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. an class="hi2">Aan>nd especian class="hi2">aan>lly if the person is domineering or controlling or tan class="hi2">aan>kes over expressing for everyone, you can class="hi2">aan>n bet you will just shrivel up into an class="hi2">aan> hole of loneliness.
Than class="hi2">aan>t's why sensitive people become so quiet an class="hi2">aan>nd shy. In their spectrum of expression, they an class="hi2">aan>re drowned out. Loud intense or even just regulan class="hi2">aan>r people can class="hi2">aan>n "shut down" sensitive people an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ke them even shyer, becan class="hi2">aan>use they're never rean class="hi2">aan>lly given an class="hi2">aan>n opportunity to BE HEan class="hi2">Aan>RD. People won't shut the fuck up for long enough to let them express their soft gentle expressions!
If you san class="hi2">aan>y to an class="hi2">aan> shy sensitive person, than class="hi2">aan>t you're going to be totan class="hi2">aan>lly quiet an class="hi2">aan>nd just listen an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t they can class="hi2">aan>n go an class="hi2">aan>hean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>nd just tan class="hi2">aan>lk an class="hi2">aan>nd tell you an class="hi2">aan>nything... an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, just go an class="hi2">aan>hean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>nd I'll listen quietly.... than class="hi2">aan>t's like GOLD. If you will trust than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> sensitive person, you will then stan class="hi2">aan>rt to express yourself, an class="hi2">aan>nd you'll keep going, an class="hi2">aan>nd going, an class="hi2">aan>nd you'll explore an class="hi2">aan>nd uncover an class="hi2">aan>ll kinds of things than class="hi2">aan>t you could never tell an class="hi2">aan>nyone. It's SO hean class="hi2">aan>ling an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>than class="hi2">aan>rtic. To be hean class="hi2">aan>rd in this overly broan class="hi2">aan>dcan class="hi2">aan>sting ultran class="hi2">aan>-loud ego-screan class="hi2">aan>ming world, it's an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely trean class="hi2">aan>sure. It touches an class="hi2">aan> person. It hean class="hi2">aan>ls them. Sometimes an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> sensitive person I wish the whole world would SHUT THE FUCK UP for long enough for me to express myself.
(I WILL BE HEan class="hi2">Aan>RD! Than class="hi2">aan>nks for letting me express than class="hi2">aan>t, lol)
This is an class="hi2">aan>lso pan class="hi2">aan>rtly why my expressive energies han class="hi2">aan>ve diverted themselves into the silent, unhurried expression through typing an class="hi2">aan>nd writing.. ... people don't shut you up when you put it down on pan class="hi2">aan>per.Mostly. Until they stan class="hi2">aan>rt rean class="hi2">aan>ding it, han class="hi2">aan>h. Then it's "than class="hi2">aan>t's too long to rean class="hi2">aan>d, shut up". .. ie, I can class="hi2">aan>n't rean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t text... when will *I* be an class="hi2">aan>ble to tan class="hi2">aan>lk an class="hi2">aan>bout myself! lolol
an class="hi2">Aan>nywan class="hi2">aan>y. Hold span class="hi2">aan>ce for people. It is thoroughly deeply hean class="hi2">aan>ling. We should han class="hi2">aan>ve hean class="hi2">aan>ling circles where we do nothing but let people express silently. This is pan class="hi2">aan>rtly how it's set up in an class="hi2">Aan>lcoholics an class="hi2">Aan>nonymous an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>lan class="hi2">Aan>non an class="hi2">aan>nd other progran class="hi2">aan>ms with an class="hi2">aan> "no cross-tan class="hi2">aan>lk" rule... an class="hi2">aan>lthough it should be extended to an class="hi2">aan> "no mentan class="hi2">aan>l chan class="hi2">aan>tter either" rule. No ego.
Be quiet. Be present. Listen. Let people be fully an class="hi2">aan>cknowledged. This is an class="hi2">aan>n expression of true forgiveness.
Remember, this is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of being truly forgiving. an class="hi2">Aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ving the opportunity to PRan class="hi2">Aan>CTICE this is an class="hi2">aan>n opportunity to be forgiving. an class="hi2">Aan>s Jesus san class="hi2">aan>id:
"Forgiveness … is still, an class="hi2">aan>nd quietly does nothing. … It merely looks, an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>its, an class="hi2">aan>nd judges not" - an class="hi2">Aan>CIM

A Course in Miracles is beyond quantum physics

In the physican class="hi2">aan>l world we often think of quan class="hi2">aan>ntum physics an class="hi2">aan>s the pinnan class="hi2">aan>cle of scientific success in describing "rean class="hi2">aan>lity". The more you dig into it the more subtle it becomes. Quan class="hi2">aan>ntum flux, string theory, unified theories of gran class="hi2">aan>vity, multi-dimensionan class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>lities, an class="hi2">aan>nti-man class="hi2">aan>tter an class="hi2">aan>nd dan class="hi2">aan>rk-man class="hi2">aan>tter, blan class="hi2">aan>ck holes, notions of how consciousness plan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt in forming span class="hi2">aan>cetime etc.
But here is the truth of it. Quan class="hi2">aan>ntum physics is the study of an class="hi2">aan>n illusory world, using sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion-ban class="hi2">aan>sed scientific man class="hi2">aan>theman class="hi2">aan>tics, confirmed using illusory physican class="hi2">aan>l experiments, studied by illusory bodies, dran class="hi2">aan>wing conclusions ban class="hi2">aan>sed on an class="hi2">aan> Man class="hi2">Aan>SSIVE an class="hi2">aan>ssumption than class="hi2">aan>t this world han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ny rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.
It seems an class="hi2">aan>t times than class="hi2">aan>t the physics tells us truths which might previously han class="hi2">aan>ve only been the doman class="hi2">aan>in of religion or mysticism. Such than class="hi2">aan>t the physican class="hi2">aan>l nan class="hi2">aan>ture of objects isn't wholly rean class="hi2">aan>l, man class="hi2">aan>tter comes in an class="hi2">aan>nd out of seeming existence, pan class="hi2">aan>rticles han class="hi2">aan>ve proban class="hi2">aan>bilities of locan class="hi2">aan>tion which only forms into man class="hi2">aan>tter when observed, etc. They've done an class="hi2">aan>ll kinds of experiments which seem to revean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st some of the properties of span class="hi2">aan>cetime.

Here is the man class="hi2">aan>in problem. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of this theoretican class="hi2">aan>l physics is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on extremely an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>nced man class="hi2">aan>th. Man class="hi2">aan>th is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the idean class="hi2">aan> of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, than class="hi2">aan>t one thing is not an class="hi2">aan>nother thing. Than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll the numbers an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te in their van class="hi2">aan>lues an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re not the san class="hi2">aan>me. 1 is not 2 an class="hi2">aan>nd 2 is different than class="hi2">aan>n 3. These an class="hi2">aan>re the 'quan class="hi2">aan>ntum' building blocks of the physics itself. Provided numbers reman class="hi2">aan>in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te, then you can class="hi2">aan>n do man class="hi2">aan>th with them. You can class="hi2">aan>n can class="hi2">aan>lculan class="hi2">aan>te things an class="hi2">aan>nd come up with equan class="hi2">aan>tions. But whan class="hi2">aan>t if numbers themselves an class="hi2">aan>re flan class="hi2">aan>wed?
In hean class="hi2">aan>ven's rean class="hi2">aan>lity, the truth is than class="hi2">aan>t 1+1=1. an class="hi2">Aan>nd no man class="hi2">aan>tter how man class="hi2">aan>ny times you "an class="hi2">aan>dd one" (crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan> soul), the sum totan class="hi2">aan>l is still 1, becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re still "one with God". There an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll kinds of wan class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t this plan class="hi2">aan>ys out. For exan class="hi2">aan>mple the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n shan class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd retan class="hi2">aan>in the idean class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd yet both people now han class="hi2">aan>ve the idean class="hi2">aan> - the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t giving an class="hi2">aan>nd receiving an class="hi2">aan>re one, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t you lose nothing by giving everything. This is TOTan class="hi2">Aan>LLY incompan class="hi2">aan>tible with the idean class="hi2">aan> of numbers.
I han class="hi2">aan>ve 1, an class="hi2">aan>nd I give 1 to you. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now you han class="hi2">aan>ve 1, I should han class="hi2">aan>ve 0. But I don't. We both han class="hi2">aan>ve 1. an class="hi2">Aan>nd moreso, it's the san class="hi2">aan>me one. It shouldn't ever be possible for me to han class="hi2">aan>ve the whole of something, while you simultan class="hi2">aan>neously han class="hi2">aan>ve the whole of something, an class="hi2">aan>nd it be the san class="hi2">aan>me whole. In the world of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te numbers, tran class="hi2">aan>nsferring van class="hi2">aan>lue to you tan class="hi2">aan>kes it an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from me, an class="hi2">aan>nd to give is to san class="hi2">aan>crifice. I lose by shan class="hi2">aan>ring. 1+1=2 rean class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion produces two sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te things. It does not spean class="hi2">aan>k of oneness.
The entire system of man class="hi2">aan>th is fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>lly ban class="hi2">aan>sed on lan class="hi2">aan>ws of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, which is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the ego thought system of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God. So than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t now we're trying to do man class="hi2">aan>theman class="hi2">aan>tican class="hi2">aan>l physics ban class="hi2">aan>sed on lan class="hi2">aan>ws of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, trying to describe an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>lity than class="hi2">aan>t is beyond sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. an class="hi2">Aan>ll we end up doing is describing THE sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, ie an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted stan class="hi2">aan>te, an class="hi2">aan>nd regan class="hi2">aan>rding it an class="hi2">aan>s the whole of rean class="hi2">aan>lity. This is whan class="hi2">aan>t quan class="hi2">aan>ntum physics is doing. It is blind to God an class="hi2">aan>nd blind to hean class="hi2">aan>ven's nan class="hi2">aan>ture.
When God extends the whole of himself, he gives an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t he han class="hi2">aan>s to his crean class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd yet he an class="hi2">Aan>LSO retan class="hi2">aan>ins it an class="hi2">aan>ll. He does not lose an class="hi2">aan>nything by giving it. He shan class="hi2">aan>res. Now his crean class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>s everything, an class="hi2">aan>nd so does he.
This would an class="hi2">aan>lso suggest to the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd to man class="hi2">aan>th, than class="hi2">aan>t if than class="hi2">aan>t first crean class="hi2">aan>ted being han class="hi2">aan>s everything, there is nothing left for an class="hi2">aan>nyone else to han class="hi2">aan>ve. an class="hi2">Aan>nd yet God can class="hi2">aan>n crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan> second crean class="hi2">aan>tion by shan class="hi2">aan>ring the whole of whan class="hi2">aan>t he han class="hi2">aan>s with it, giving it everything, an class="hi2">aan>nd now it an class="hi2">Aan>LSO han class="hi2">aan>s everything. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now two han class="hi2">aan>ve everything. Two han class="hi2">aan>ve the san class="hi2">aan>me van class="hi2">aan>lue. an class="hi2">Aan>nd equan class="hi2">aan>l van class="hi2">aan>lue is the Golden Rule.
"Ean class="hi2">aan>ch Soul knows God completely. This IS the miran class="hi2">aan>culous power of the Soul. The fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t ean class="hi2">aan>ch Soul han class="hi2">aan>s this power completely is an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t is entirely an class="hi2">aan>lien to human class="hi2">aan>n thinking, in which if an class="hi2">aan>ny ONE han class="hi2">aan>s everything, there is nothing LEFT."
You can class="hi2">aan>n't describe than class="hi2">aan>t using man class="hi2">aan>th other than class="hi2">aan>n to san class="hi2">aan>y 1+1=1. Or you can class="hi2">aan>n even san class="hi2">aan>y 2=1. Well, now if the van class="hi2">aan>lue of 2 is the san class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>s the van class="hi2">aan>lue of 1, an class="hi2">aan>nd those two things an class="hi2">Aan>RE ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re totan class="hi2">aan>lly equan class="hi2">aan>ted, then an class="hi2">Aan>LL numbers equan class="hi2">aan>l 1. Than class="hi2">aan>t's whan class="hi2">aan>t oneness is an class="hi2">aan>bout. The man class="hi2">aan>ny crean class="hi2">aan>ted children of God shan class="hi2">aan>ring everything an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore han class="hi2">aan>ving the san class="hi2">aan>me whole an class="hi2">aan>nd the san class="hi2">aan>me van class="hi2">aan>lue. Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns an class="hi2">Aan>LL numbers equan class="hi2">aan>l 1.
You can class="hi2">aan>nnot DO man class="hi2">aan>th when an class="hi2">aan>ll numbers han class="hi2">aan>ve the san class="hi2">aan>me van class="hi2">aan>lue. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot do quan class="hi2">aan>ntum physics or an class="hi2">Aan>NY kind of physics. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is NOT quan class="hi2">aan>ntum physics an class="hi2">aan>nd it is not run by quan class="hi2">aan>ntum physics. It's lan class="hi2">aan>ws tran class="hi2">aan>nscend an class="hi2">aan>ll of span class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd time an class="hi2">aan>nd the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion.
So you han class="hi2">aan>ve to be kind of can class="hi2">aan>reful when you put the ego's triumph of extremely complican class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>lysis an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>lculan class="hi2">aan>tions on an class="hi2">aan> pedestan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>ll it "rean class="hi2">aan>lity". They an class="hi2">aan>re not even studying rean class="hi2">aan>lity, they're studying an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of an class="hi2">aan> world than class="hi2">aan>t doesn't exist, under the an class="hi2">aan>ssumption than class="hi2">aan>t it han class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>lity. They don't even know whan class="hi2">aan>t rean class="hi2">aan>lity mean class="hi2">aan>ns. It's an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>lculan class="hi2">aan>ted guess, an class="hi2">aan>nd it's an class="hi2">aan>ll mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. Just an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ll beliefs in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken.
E=MC squan class="hi2">aan>red which supposedly tells you the relan class="hi2">aan>tionship of man class="hi2">aan>ss an class="hi2">aan>nd energy vs speed of light an class="hi2">aan>nd how time chan class="hi2">aan>nges relan class="hi2">aan>tively an class="hi2">aan>nd so on.... it's an class="hi2">aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>de up. It might seem to roughly an class="hi2">aan>nd closely correlan class="hi2">aan>te to an class="hi2">aan> world of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. Yes. Becan class="hi2">aan>use THIS world, this illusion of an class="hi2">aan> world, IS ban class="hi2">aan>sed on sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion.
So it nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>lly SEEMS to line up with sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion-ban class="hi2">aan>sed physics. The man class="hi2">aan>th SEEMS to correlan class="hi2">aan>te. an class="hi2">Aan>ND the whole sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te system of span class="hi2">aan>cetime is so seemingly stan class="hi2">aan>ble, most of the time, than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n even do experiments IN span class="hi2">aan>cetime than class="hi2">aan>t seem to prove or correlan class="hi2">aan>te to whan class="hi2">aan>t the theory san class="hi2">aan>ys should han class="hi2">aan>ppen. Than class="hi2">aan>t's how they "van class="hi2">aan>lidan class="hi2">aan>te" their physics. But an class="hi2">aan>ll this is rean class="hi2">aan>lly doing is tan class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan>n illusory world, studying it with illusory mean class="hi2">aan>ns, using its illusory nan class="hi2">aan>ture to correlan class="hi2">aan>te to illusory predictions, an class="hi2">aan>nd then when they man class="hi2">aan>tch up they clan class="hi2">aan>im than class="hi2">aan>t this is truth. It is nothing of the sort.
an class="hi2">Aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t quan class="hi2">aan>ntum physics can class="hi2">aan>n do is describe roughly an class="hi2">aan>nd incorrectly an class="hi2">aan>nd from an class="hi2">aan> very fan class="hi2">aan>lse-perception van class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>ge point, whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to be the nan class="hi2">aan>ture an class="hi2">aan>nd workings of an class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>llucinan class="hi2">aan>ted unrean class="hi2">aan>l world, without truly an class="hi2">aan>cknowledging its unrean class="hi2">aan>lity. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of the "lan class="hi2">aan>ws of physics" such an class="hi2">aan>s gran class="hi2">aan>vity, seem to be observan class="hi2">aan>ble phenomenan class="hi2">aan> becan class="hi2">aan>use of the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t Newton got bopped on the hean class="hi2">aan>d with an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>pple one dan class="hi2">aan>y.

Whan class="hi2">aan>t this rean class="hi2">aan>lly boils down to is, the body is being used to try to tell you whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth an class="hi2">aan>bout the body is. an class="hi2">Aan>nd on than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>tter, the body is entirely bian class="hi2">aan>sed an class="hi2">aan>nd ONLY will tell you than class="hi2">aan>t the body IS rean class="hi2">aan>l. We an class="hi2">aan>re using an class="hi2">aan> device to try to discern whether the world exists, ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t the body Man class="hi2">Aan>KES the world seem rean class="hi2">aan>l.
"Only the body man class="hi2">aan>kes the world seem rean class="hi2">aan>l." an class="hi2">Aan>nd then we're an class="hi2">aan>ssuming than class="hi2">aan>t its rean class="hi2">aan>lity can class="hi2">aan>n be studied an class="hi2">aan>nd verified an class="hi2">aan>nd proven. an class="hi2">Aan>ll we're doing is using an class="hi2">aan> bian class="hi2">aan>sed an class="hi2">aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tus to man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> REFLECTION of the world an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>lling it an class="hi2">aan> unified theory of rean class="hi2">aan>lity. But an class="hi2">aan> reflection of hell is not the truth.
You can class="hi2">aan>nnot look to science to tell you whan class="hi2">aan>t is ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely true. You Can class="hi2">Aan>N look to science to tell you in most can class="hi2">aan>ses whan class="hi2">aan>t seems to be true in an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>irly "stan class="hi2">aan>ble" unrean class="hi2">aan>l world.

Reasons why miracles are NOT a shift in perception

First we must an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge, there is miran class="hi2">aan>culous stuff going on in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, which han class="hi2">aan>s nothing to do with perception or the rean class="hi2">aan>lm of illusions. e.g.
"Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> universan class="hi2">aan>l blessing from God"
"God's miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>s totan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>s His Thought, becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">Aan>RE His thoughts. God shines in them an class="hi2">aan>ll with perfect light."
"You an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle" (in hean class="hi2">aan>ven)
"The miran class="hi2">aan>culous power of the soul"
"Whan class="hi2">aan>t the Holy Spirit enan class="hi2">aan>bles you to do is clean class="hi2">aan>rly not of this world." - "The Holy Spirit is the mechan class="hi2">aan>nism of miran class="hi2">aan>cles."
"Miran class="hi2">aan>cles do not obey the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of this world."
There is clean class="hi2">aan>rly something an class="hi2">aan>utoman class="hi2">aan>tican class="hi2">aan>lly miran class="hi2">aan>culous an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan>ll things divine. We're an class="hi2">aan>lso told than class="hi2">aan>t "miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l", an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l SHOULD be something inherent to rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd the Kingdom, not something than class="hi2">aan>t is lan class="hi2">aan>ter considered unnan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l or than class="hi2">aan>t ends.
So miran class="hi2">aan>culousness, is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> quan class="hi2">aan>lity of rean class="hi2">aan>lity, an class="hi2">aan> quan class="hi2">aan>lity of God, not necessan class="hi2">aan>rily something to do with perception an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. The soul an class="hi2">aan>lso han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>culous power which han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely nothing to do with the rean class="hi2">aan>lm of perception. The Holy Spirit an class="hi2">aan>lso, who rean class="hi2">aan>lly lives in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, is miran class="hi2">aan>culous.
We an class="hi2">aan>lso must consider an class="hi2">aan> simple idean class="hi2">aan>, than class="hi2">aan>t Jesus is just an class="hi2">aan>s if not more miran class="hi2">aan>culous an class="hi2">aan>nd unlimited in his supernan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l power NOW, an class="hi2">aan>s he ever wan class="hi2">aan>s on Ean class="hi2">aan>rth. It would be kind of silly to suggest than class="hi2">aan>t he "shifted perception using miran class="hi2">aan>cles" an class="hi2">aan>nd then STOPPED being miran class="hi2">aan>culous.
This is one of the key rean class="hi2">aan>sons why miran class="hi2">aan>cles can class="hi2">aan>nnot BE shifts in perception. There is only so much perception to shift. Once perception shifts to true perception, this would suggest there is no longer an class="hi2">aan>ny use for miran class="hi2">aan>cles. Yet the course describes true perception an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>s "miran class="hi2">aan>cle mindedness". Why would we an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>in miran class="hi2">aan>cle mindedness, which is supposed to be an class="hi2">aan> close reflection of rean class="hi2">aan>lity, an class="hi2">aan>nd then switch off an class="hi2">aan>ll miran class="hi2">aan>culous an class="hi2">aan>bility an class="hi2">aan>s we go to hean class="hi2">aan>ven? Than class="hi2">aan>t does not rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>dd up.
Ran class="hi2">aan>ther, the picture forming here is than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>culousness is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>culous nan class="hi2">aan>ture, founded in God, the true nan class="hi2">aan>ture of an class="hi2">aan>ll things in the Kingdom, the nan class="hi2">aan>ture of the soul an class="hi2">aan>nd crean class="hi2">aan>tion (crean class="hi2">aan>ting life out of your own being is miran class="hi2">aan>culous - "miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> span class="hi2">aan>rk of life").
an class="hi2">Aan>nd let's not forget the course tells us YOU an class="hi2">aan>re one of God's miran class="hi2">aan>cles, mean class="hi2">aan>ning God is an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker. an class="hi2">Aan>nd God does not han class="hi2">aan>ve perception. So we rean class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>n't continue with this idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is an class="hi2">aan> shift in perception, or even in fan class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">Aan>NYTHING to do with perception an class="hi2">aan>s such. an class="hi2">Aan>s lean class="hi2">aan>st, we must not EQUan class="hi2">Aan>TE miran class="hi2">aan>cles with perceptuan class="hi2">aan>l shifts or think of them an class="hi2">aan>s synonyms.
There is an class="hi2">aan>lso the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t "miran class="hi2">aan>cles can class="hi2">aan>nnot be performed in an class="hi2">aan> spirit of doubt an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>r". an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t "miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re expressions of love", an class="hi2">aan>nd "an class="hi2">aan>ll expressions of love an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>ximan class="hi2">aan>l". Whan class="hi2">aan>t does this suggest? Simply than class="hi2">aan>t even if you an class="hi2">aan>re working on your forgiveness an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ling, shifting perception, chan class="hi2">aan>nging beliefs, you likely still han class="hi2">aan>ve wan class="hi2">aan>y too much fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd doubt to be Man class="hi2">Aan>XIMan class="hi2">Aan>LLY loving. To han class="hi2">aan>ve NO fean class="hi2">aan>r. Which is an class="hi2">aan> requirement for performing an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle.
So "beginners" to the course, even intermedian class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>nced students, man class="hi2">aan>y still not be loving ENOUGH to perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles. This is why the course san class="hi2">aan>ys
"Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re everyone's right, but purifican class="hi2">aan>tion is necessan class="hi2">aan>ry first."
We han class="hi2">aan>ve to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly do quite an class="hi2">aan> LOT of work to remove blocks an class="hi2">aan>nd ego from the mind BEFORE we can class="hi2">aan>n even get close to the stan class="hi2">aan>te of miran class="hi2">aan>cle mindedness, or man class="hi2">aan>ximan class="hi2">aan>l love, to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to BE an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker. While the ego would love to lan class="hi2">aan>bel just an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan>nyone an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> kind of spirituan class="hi2">aan>lized ego, the fan class="hi2">aan>ct is you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker until MUCH Lan class="hi2">Aan>TER in the course's progress. Which mean class="hi2">aan>ns an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in, an class="hi2">aan>ny shifts in perception you han class="hi2">aan>ve, an class="hi2">Aan>RE NOT miran class="hi2">aan>cles.
an class="hi2">Aan>s we remove blocks to love, we remove blocks to the Nan class="hi2">Aan>TURan class="hi2">Aan>L Nan class="hi2">Aan>TURE of our being - our miran class="hi2">aan>culousness. We re-an class="hi2">aan>ccess an class="hi2">aan>nd become an class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in to wield without fean class="hi2">aan>r, the an class="hi2">Aan>BILITY of our mind to perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles. It requires love, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>in ingredient.
Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>lso express FROM an class="hi2">aan> loving stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind. If you do not han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> loving stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind an class="hi2">Aan>LREan class="hi2">Aan>DY, you will not be an class="hi2">aan>ble to perform an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle. If your mind gets INTO an class="hi2">aan> loving stan class="hi2">aan>te, THan class="hi2">Aan>T itself is not an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle. The shift from where you an class="hi2">aan>re, to where you an class="hi2">aan>re trying to be, is not miran class="hi2">aan>culous. The plan class="hi2">aan>ce you END UP an class="hi2">Aan>T is miran class="hi2">aan>culous.
Now, let's an class="hi2">aan>lso be clean class="hi2">aan>r than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles Can class="hi2">Aan>N Can class="hi2">Aan>USE an class="hi2">aan> shift in perception. For exan class="hi2">aan>mple:
"Miran class="hi2">aan>cles unite you with your brother"
"Miran class="hi2">aan>cles ran class="hi2">aan>ise the level of communican class="hi2">aan>tion"
"Miran class="hi2">aan>cles man class="hi2">aan>ke minds one in God"
So they an class="hi2">aan>re wan class="hi2">aan>ys to hean class="hi2">aan>l your psychologican class="hi2">aan>l interconnectedness with others. But the chan class="hi2">aan>nge than class="hi2">aan>t occurs, the effects, the shifts, they an class="hi2">aan>re not can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l. They an class="hi2">aan>re the results of the miran class="hi2">aan>cles han class="hi2">aan>ppening. If perception shifts, than class="hi2">aan>t's an class="hi2">aan>n effect, not an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use. Let's an class="hi2">aan>lso throw in this point.
If you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>nced an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve done an class="hi2">aan> lot of purifican class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re now close to miran class="hi2">aan>cle mindedness, you do not NEED shifts in perception for yourself. You don't han class="hi2">aan>ve stuff left TO shift. Does this mean class="hi2">aan>n you an class="hi2">aan>re now done performing miran class="hi2">aan>cles? an class="hi2">Aan>bsolutely not. You an class="hi2">aan>re supposed to be returning TO being MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CULOUS an class="hi2">Aan>LL THE TIME.
Remember, "miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re Nan class="hi2">Aan>TURan class="hi2">Aan>L, an class="hi2">aan>nd when they do NOT occur, something han class="hi2">aan>s gone wrong."
an class="hi2">aan>nd "Miran class="hi2">aan>cles should be han class="hi2">aan>ppening an class="hi2">aan>ll the time"
So an class="hi2">aan> person an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening, an class="hi2">aan> person being more loving, an class="hi2">aan> person close to true perception, SHOULD BE miran class="hi2">aan>culous an class="hi2">aan>ll the time. an class="hi2">Aan>ND performing miran class="hi2">aan>cles frequently.
"Every dan class="hi2">aan>y should be devoted to miran class="hi2">aan>cles."
Let's an class="hi2">aan>lso man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> distinction here.
1) Miran class="hi2">aan>culousness is the true nan class="hi2">aan>ture of divine mind. Everything in hean class="hi2">aan>ven is miran class="hi2">aan>culous forever. Jesus is still miran class="hi2">aan>culous. Holy Spirit is miran class="hi2">aan>culous. Your soul is miran class="hi2">aan>culous. an class="hi2">Aan>ngels an class="hi2">aan>re miran class="hi2">aan>culous. Being miran class="hi2">aan>culous never switches off. But you can class="hi2">aan>n deny it with the ego.
2) "The Miran class="hi2">aan>cle", is an class="hi2">aan> synonym for the STan class="hi2">Aan>TE of an class="hi2">aan>tonement, true perception, san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion, miran class="hi2">aan>cle mindedness, right mindedness etc. It could an class="hi2">aan>lso be considered an class="hi2">aan> synonym for the Holy Spirit an class="hi2">aan>nd Christ Vision. This is an class="hi2">aan> STan class="hi2">Aan>TE OF MIND, an class="hi2">aan> "plan class="hi2">aan>ce" in an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness than class="hi2">aan>t you rean class="hi2">aan>ch. This stan class="hi2">aan>te of miran class="hi2">aan>culous, but it is not the san class="hi2">aan>me thing an class="hi2">aan>s miran class="hi2">aan>cles. It's where miran class="hi2">aan>cles COME FROM.
3) Miran class="hi2">aan>cles, individuan class="hi2">aan>l miran class="hi2">aan>cles, pluran class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>ny in number. They an class="hi2">aan>re performed typican class="hi2">aan>lly FROM the stan class="hi2">aan>te of miran class="hi2">aan>cle mindedness. From the top down, not the bottom up. This is why "I can class="hi2">aan>n only give the miran class="hi2">aan>cles I Han class="hi2">Aan>VE RECEIVED" an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lso why "Miran class="hi2">aan>cles Fan class="hi2">Aan>LL like drops of hean class="hi2">aan>ling ran class="hi2">aan>in". The come DOWN from an class="hi2">aan> higher stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind an class="hi2">aan>nd resurrect. "an class="hi2">Aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>round the signs of life spring up"
an class="hi2">Aan>ll individuan class="hi2">aan>l miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re one, but they literan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re numerous an class="hi2">aan>nd individuan class="hi2">aan>lly performed. They operan class="hi2">aan>te to LIFT UP the mind from stan class="hi2">aan>tes of fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception, TOWan class="hi2">Aan>RDS true perception. Than class="hi2">aan>t is, being performed FROM an class="hi2">aan> higher level, they han class="hi2">aan>ve power OVER an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t is below, including perception, form, bodies, an class="hi2">aan>nd worlds. They can class="hi2">aan>n ran class="hi2">aan>ise the dean class="hi2">aan>d, physican class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>nd psychologican class="hi2">aan>lly. They can class="hi2">aan>n hean class="hi2">aan>l the sick on an class="hi2">aan>ny level. an class="hi2">Aan>nd they can class="hi2">aan>n restore san class="hi2">aan>nity an class="hi2">aan>nd induce revelan class="hi2">aan>tion.
When performed, they elevan class="hi2">aan>te your own mind to an class="hi2">aan> higher level if necessan class="hi2">aan>ry. But if you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy high, they an class="hi2">aan>re given to those who han class="hi2">aan>ve less, merely reinforcing whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy han class="hi2">aan>ve. This is why
"Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re given by those who temporan class="hi2">aan>rily han class="hi2">aan>ve more to those who temporan class="hi2">aan>rily han class="hi2">aan>ve less."
"an class="hi2">Aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle is an class="hi2">aan> service. It is the man class="hi2">aan>ximan class="hi2">aan>l service than class="hi2">aan>t one soul can class="hi2">aan>n render an class="hi2">aan>nother."
Note than class="hi2">aan>t being an class="hi2">aan> service it does not mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re the man class="hi2">aan>in benefician class="hi2">aan>ry. But you an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>re not excluded becan class="hi2">aan>use you give an class="hi2">aan>s you receive. It's just than class="hi2">aan>t we need to rean class="hi2">aan>lize, miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re GIVEN TO OTHERS.
So here is an class="hi2">aan> key fan class="hi2">aan>ct. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re NOT JUST an class="hi2">Aan>BOUT YOU. They an class="hi2">aan>re not something than class="hi2">aan>t just han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n influence on your own perception or mind or body. They literan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of DOING SOMETHING TO OTHERS. This is why they an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of ran class="hi2">aan>ising the dean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ling the sick, OTHER than class="hi2">aan>n yourself.
So this nan class="hi2">aan>ive idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t "miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens when I shift my own perception", han class="hi2">aan>s to be thrown out. It is woefully inan class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd limited an class="hi2">aan>nd not an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll whan class="hi2">aan>t the course an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly san class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>bout miran class="hi2">aan>cles. It's something some people man class="hi2">aan>de up an class="hi2">aan> long time an class="hi2">aan>go when misinterpreting the course.
The time will come when miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re not needed, but only when everyone han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>toned. This does not MEan class="hi2">Aan>N the end of miran class="hi2">aan>culousness. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles resurrect the dean class="hi2">aan>d in every wan class="hi2">aan>y by GIVING life.
"Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> span class="hi2">aan>rk of life"
"Miran class="hi2">aan>cles mean class="hi2">aan>n life an class="hi2">aan>nd God is the giver of life"
When everyone is resurrected, God isn't going to stop giving life, nor an class="hi2">aan>re you going to stop being miran class="hi2">aan>culous. Do you think Jesus todan class="hi2">aan>y is incan class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of performing an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle? Quite the opposite. an class="hi2">Aan>nd he doesn't even Han class="hi2">Aan>VE perception!
So miran class="hi2">aan>cles can class="hi2">aan>n lift the mind up, "shifting perception", but than class="hi2">aan>t depends entirely on whether there is an class="hi2">aan>nything TO shift. The shift is an class="hi2">aan>n effect, while there is something to an class="hi2">aan>ffect. If you confuse the shift with the miran class="hi2">aan>cle, you throw out miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>s soon an class="hi2">aan>s you an class="hi2">aan>re done with shifting.
It is an class="hi2">aan>lso necessan class="hi2">aan>ry an class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the an class="hi2">aan>tonement than class="hi2">aan>t you perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles FOR OTHERS, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n just selfishly focusing on the shifting of your own perceptions. There is no point becoming miran class="hi2">aan>cle minded if you an class="hi2">aan>re not going to USE your miran class="hi2">aan>culous nan class="hi2">aan>ture to perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles express through you, extending to others, an class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rt of your nan class="hi2">aan>ture loving of other people.
"Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>rise from an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>culous stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind." (an class="hi2">aan>nd they do NOT an class="hi2">aan>rise from an class="hi2">aan> mind than class="hi2">aan>t is steeped in ego problems than class="hi2">aan>t's trying to shift some perception).
"The distinction han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>lso been man class="hi2">aan>de here between "miran class="hi2">aan>cle-mindedness" an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> STan class="hi2">Aan>TE, an class="hi2">aan>nd "miran class="hi2">aan>cle-doing" an class="hi2">aan>s its expression."
"Rean class="hi2">aan>diness here mean class="hi2">aan>ns keep your perception right side up, (or van class="hi2">aan>lid), so you will an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS be rean class="hi2">aan>dy, willing, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ble. These an class="hi2">aan>re the essentian class="hi2">aan>ls for "listen, lean class="hi2">aan>rn, an class="hi2">aan>nd do." You must be: REan class="hi2">Aan>DY to listen, WILLING to lean class="hi2">aan>rn, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>BLE to do."
"Only the lan class="hi2">aan>st is involuntan class="hi2">aan>ry, becan class="hi2">aan>use it is the an class="hi2">Aan>PPLICan class="hi2">Aan>TION of miran class="hi2">aan>cles which must be Christ-controlled. But the other two, which an class="hi2">aan>re the voluntan class="hi2">aan>ry an class="hi2">aan>spects of miran class="hi2">aan>cle-mindedness, an class="hi2">Aan>RE up to you."
Note than class="hi2">aan>t just becan class="hi2">aan>use miran class="hi2">aan>cle an class="hi2">Aan>PPLICan class="hi2">Aan>TION is christ controlled, an class="hi2">aan>nd "involuntan class="hi2">aan>ry", does NOT MEan class="hi2">Aan>N than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles DO NOT get performed through you or than class="hi2">aan>t you do nothing. You work with Christ an class="hi2">aan>nd the Holy Spirit an class="hi2">aan>nd THEY man class="hi2">aan>ke the miran class="hi2">aan>cles han class="hi2">aan>ppen through you. You an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan> tean class="hi2">aan>m. You han class="hi2">aan>ve the power of God in you.
So no, miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re not shifts in perception. They an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> form of hean class="hi2">aan>ling an class="hi2">aan>nd demonstran class="hi2">aan>tion of God's power. Miran class="hi2">aan>cles Can class="hi2">Aan>USE stuff to han class="hi2">aan>ppen, an class="hi2">aan>nd not just to YOU! Miran class="hi2">aan>cles han class="hi2">aan>ve the power of God in them. They an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ble to give life an class="hi2">aan>nd supply an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck. They can class="hi2">aan>n hean class="hi2">aan>l the bodies of others. They can class="hi2">aan>n hean class="hi2">aan>l minds. They can class="hi2">aan>n even can class="hi2">aan>use inan class="hi2">aan>niman class="hi2">aan>te objects to do things they "shouldn't" be an class="hi2">aan>ble to do, by brean class="hi2">aan>king the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of the world. e.g. Jesus turning wan class="hi2">aan>ter into wine, turning an class="hi2">aan> tree bran class="hi2">aan>nch into an class="hi2">aan> snan class="hi2">aan>ke, wan class="hi2">aan>lking on wan class="hi2">aan>ter etc.
Shifting perception is indeed pan class="hi2">aan>rt of purifican class="hi2">aan>tion, but it is not to be an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted with an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle. You can class="hi2">aan>n shift your perception quite an class="hi2">aan> lot without miran class="hi2">aan>cles being involved. You might not even perform an class="hi2">aan> single miran class="hi2">aan>cle an class="hi2">aan>fter man class="hi2">aan>ny yean class="hi2">aan>rs of course pran class="hi2">aan>ctice. It require an class="hi2">aan> lot of mind hean class="hi2">aan>ling to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to DO them. To express FROM an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>led stan class="hi2">aan>te.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd let us an class="hi2">aan>lso remember, miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly occur an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result of IMPULSES. The impulse is like an class="hi2">aan> little span class="hi2">aan>rk of living energy which an class="hi2">aan>rises in the mind. "Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re energizers". They an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re like little expressed mini crean class="hi2">aan>tions which tran class="hi2">aan>nsfer FROM you TO an class="hi2">aan>nother an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve effects on them. They go out an class="hi2">aan>nd do something. It's like an class="hi2">aan> pulse of life force. Inspired by Christ. Pan class="hi2">aan>ssing through you onto others.
So if you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to be an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle DOER, an class="hi2">aan> WORKER, you need to first an class="hi2">aan>pproan class="hi2">aan>ch miran class="hi2">aan>cle minded stan class="hi2">aan>tes, an class="hi2">aan>nd THEN you can class="hi2">aan>n perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles. This is why an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re quite ran class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>mong an class="hi2">Aan>CIM folks an class="hi2">aan>t present, we're simply not fan class="hi2">aan>r enough an class="hi2">aan>long in our purifican class="hi2">aan>tion to perform them.

The body is a symbol - it obeys your orders

The body is an class="hi2">aan> symbol. Being an class="hi2">aan> symbol, it represents something. It represents something beyond itself. Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns it does not han class="hi2">aan>ve its own inherent mean class="hi2">aan>ning. It is rean class="hi2">aan>lly nothing. an class="hi2">Aan> can class="hi2">aan>nvan class="hi2">aan>s on which you pan class="hi2">aan>int an class="hi2">aan> picture of resurrection or dean class="hi2">aan>th.
Becan class="hi2">aan>use it is an class="hi2">aan> symbol, it represents an class="hi2">aan>nd reflects something which lies beyond itself. It is not an class="hi2">aan>n end unto itself. It is not an class="hi2">aan> sign or an class="hi2">aan> thing or an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>ndan class="hi2">aan>lone entity. It is the outwan class="hi2">aan>rd projection from an class="hi2">aan>n inner condition. It does not an class="hi2">aan>uthor its own identity. It does not decide whan class="hi2">aan>t it will be or whan class="hi2">aan>t it will look like. It does not determine its behan class="hi2">aan>viors. You USE IT. You project it. It is SYMBOLIC of the content of your mind.
This is why when the mind is hean class="hi2">aan>led the SYMBOL MUST CHan class="hi2">Aan>NGE. The body Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT RESIST chan class="hi2">aan>nging. When the mind decides to be well an class="hi2">aan>nd whole, the body must reflect than class="hi2">aan>t. When the mind decides to be sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id, the body must reflect than class="hi2">aan>t. It is an class="hi2">aan> picture of the mind's condition. It is not an class="hi2">aan> thing in its own right.
Becan class="hi2">aan>use it is an class="hi2">aan> symbol, when the body is sick, the body ITSELF is not sick. IT does not han class="hi2">aan>ve its own sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te sickness. It is SYMBOLIZING an class="hi2">aan> problem in the mind. This is why when the body is broken or sick, it PROVES the mind can class="hi2">aan>nnot be hean class="hi2">aan>led, becan class="hi2">aan>use it is IMPOSSIBLE for the body to man class="hi2">aan>ke up its own stan class="hi2">aan>te. It is an class="hi2">aan> reflection of the mind. It han class="hi2">aan>s no will. No continuity of its own. Its being projected. So if the body is showing up an class="hi2">aan>s broken, the body han class="hi2">aan>s nothing rean class="hi2">aan>lly wrong with it, the MIND DOES.
This is why if there is sickness or dean class="hi2">aan>th han class="hi2">aan>ppening to the body, the MIND IS DESTROYING ITSELF. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is proof. No-one dies without their own consent. Hean class="hi2">aan>lthy mind, hean class="hi2">aan>lthy body. Sick mind, sick body. There an class="hi2">aan>re no exceptions.
"Remember, then, than class="hi2">aan>t neither sign nor symbol should be CONFUSED with source, for they must STan class="hi2">Aan>ND FOR something OTHER than class="hi2">aan>n themselves. Their mean class="hi2">aan>ning Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT lie in them, but must be sought in whan class="hi2">aan>t they REPRESENT. an class="hi2">Aan>nd they man class="hi2">aan>y thus mean class="hi2">aan>n everything or nothing, an class="hi2">aan>ccording to the truth or fan class="hi2">aan>lsity of the IDEan class="hi2">Aan> which they reflect."

It seems then than class="hi2">aan>t we're living in an class="hi2">aan> world where people represent van class="hi2">aan>rying degrees of an class="hi2">aan>bility, an class="hi2">aan>ccomplishment, skill, confidence, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> very wide ran class="hi2">aan>nge of personan class="hi2">aan>lities an class="hi2">aan>nd potentian class="hi2">aan>ls. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in an class="hi2">aan>ll can class="hi2">aan>ses no-one is perfect an class="hi2">aan>nd everyone is lan class="hi2">aan>cking in some wan class="hi2">aan>y. an class="hi2">Aan>nd everyone is trying to improve themselves becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>ll think they were crean class="hi2">aan>ted broken. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now there is competition an class="hi2">aan>nd everyone fights to be better than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ll the other defective ones, while the defective ones lick their wounds an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>nt to die.

Whan class="hi2">aan>t we're looking an class="hi2">aan>t, when we look an class="hi2">aan>t the world, is in fan class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce where an class="hi2">aan> very lan class="hi2">aan>rge number of mentan class="hi2">aan>lly ill people an class="hi2">aan>re gan class="hi2">aan>thered together. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll of their mentan class="hi2">aan>l illnesses an class="hi2">aan>re regan class="hi2">aan>rded an class="hi2">aan>s lan class="hi2">aan>rgely norman class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l, ie not an class="hi2">aan>n illness an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.

On an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>net filled with suffering, how can class="hi2">aan>n you remember whan class="hi2">aan>t it's like not to suffer?
If we don't suspect than class="hi2">aan>t there is an class="hi2">aan> higher, lan class="hi2">aan>rger truth an class="hi2">aan>bout people, then it's going to man class="hi2">aan>ke it seem like their ego self is REan class="hi2">Aan>L, than class="hi2">aan>t it is the WHOLE truth of them, an class="hi2">aan>nd there is nothing more to it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in than class="hi2">aan>t view you will relan class="hi2">aan>te to their EGO in terms of specian class="hi2">aan>l relan class="hi2">aan>tionship, an class="hi2">aan>nd with no sense of forgiveness. an class="hi2">Aan>nything they do in insan class="hi2">aan>nity will be an class="hi2">aan> sin, an class="hi2">aan>nd you will justify holding it an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst them.

If you han class="hi2">aan>d only ever known someone in an class="hi2">aan>n ill condition, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>d never known them when they were hean class="hi2">aan>lthy, you would han class="hi2">aan>ve grean class="hi2">aan>t difficulty seeing pan class="hi2">aan>st their illness.

If we han class="hi2">aan>ve no sense of the an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY of ean class="hi2">aan>ch person, then this is whan class="hi2">aan>t we're going to do.

This keeps them imprisoned an class="hi2">aan>nd does not offer an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of hean class="hi2">aan>ling. an class="hi2">Aan>nd they need hean class="hi2">aan>ling becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re not san class="hi2">aan>ne.

Everyone, when san class="hi2">aan>ne, is an class="hi2">aan> loving, powerful, supernan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l, immortan class="hi2">aan>l, eternan class="hi2">aan>l being of light, filled with joy an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>ughter an class="hi2">aan>nd miran class="hi2">aan>cles. Such an class="hi2">aan> person is invulneran class="hi2">aan>ble, can class="hi2">aan>nnot be sick, can class="hi2">aan>nnot die, can class="hi2">aan>nnot be upset, han class="hi2">aan>s no grievan class="hi2">aan>nces, doesn't judge or blan class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>nyone, is perfectly innocent an class="hi2">aan>nd holy, knows God intiman class="hi2">aan>tely, depends on God for everything, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s no an class="hi2">aan>uthority problem. This is whan class="hi2">aan>t EVERY person in the world wan class="hi2">aan>s like when they were crean class="hi2">aan>ted. This is the kind of self they an class="hi2">Aan>RE behind their mentan class="hi2">aan>l illness. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if their mentan class="hi2">aan>l illness wan class="hi2">aan>s cured, this is how they would be. an class="hi2">Aan> world of christs!
To not RECOGNIZE than class="hi2">aan>t people's egos an class="hi2">aan>re not their rean class="hi2">aan>l self, is to fan class="hi2">aan>il to forgive. To forgive requires han class="hi2">aan>ving in mind an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness BEYOND THE LIES, of whan class="hi2">aan>t the person's souls is rean class="hi2">aan>lly like, an class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>ted by God. The originan class="hi2">aan>l self. The rean class="hi2">aan>l self. The holy self. The higher self. Than class="hi2">aan>t is their true self. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t self han class="hi2">aan>s no limitan class="hi2">aan>tions or lan class="hi2">aan>cks or fan class="hi2">aan>ilures or man class="hi2">aan>lfunctions or depressions or sicknesses or lies an class="hi2">aan>bout themselves or others.
So then we han class="hi2">aan>ve to rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t we join with the Holy Spirit an class="hi2">aan>s theran class="hi2">aan>pists in the world, an class="hi2">aan>s hean class="hi2">aan>lers, come to offer San class="hi2">Aan>NITY to those who an class="hi2">aan>re insan class="hi2">aan>ne, an class="hi2">aan>nd to lift them up an class="hi2">aan>nd resurrect them to truth an class="hi2">aan>nd light, so than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re restored to their true function an class="hi2">aan>nd true an class="hi2">aan>bilities. To their rean class="hi2">aan>l identity. To remember who they an class="hi2">aan>re, to know themselves an class="hi2">aan>nd to live out from the love than class="hi2">aan>t God put in them.
"Now must you shan class="hi2">aan>re His function, an class="hi2">aan>nd forgive whom He han class="hi2">aan>s san class="hi2">aan>ved, whose sinlessness He sees, an class="hi2">aan>nd whom He honors an class="hi2">aan>s the Son of God."
"your function in this world is hean class="hi2">aan>ling"
"an class="hi2">Aan>s your function in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is crean class="hi2">aan>tion, so your function on ean class="hi2">aan>rth is hean class="hi2">aan>ling. God shan class="hi2">aan>res His function with you in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, an class="hi2">aan>nd the Holy Spirit shan class="hi2">aan>res HIS with you on ean class="hi2">aan>rth."
The only wan class="hi2">aan>y you can class="hi2">aan>n forgive someone is to know the rean class="hi2">aan>l truth an class="hi2">aan>bout them on an class="hi2">aan> higher level. The bigger picture. Their true nan class="hi2">aan>ture an class="hi2">aan>s estan class="hi2">aan>blished by God. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this truth han class="hi2">aan>s to STILL be true, even if it is covered up by their own mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd obscure an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>rd to see. Even if they themselves don't know it's there, an class="hi2">aan>nd even if they themselves deny than class="hi2">aan>t it's true of them. Becan class="hi2">aan>use people an class="hi2">aan>re in fan class="hi2">aan>ct out of touch with their own souls an class="hi2">aan>nd don't even remember whan class="hi2">aan>t their rean class="hi2">aan>l identity is. It is our tan class="hi2">aan>sk to REMEMBER FOR THEM, so than class="hi2">aan>t they might remember an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>ke up to their true nan class="hi2">aan>ture.
"Remember for everyone your Fan class="hi2">aan>ther's power, than class="hi2">aan>t He han class="hi2">aan>s given them"
"He must HIMSELF withdran class="hi2">aan>w than class="hi2">aan>t power, remembering than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll power is of God. YOU Can class="hi2">Aan>N REMEMBER THIS FOR an class="hi2">Aan>LL THE SONSHIP. Do not an class="hi2">aan>llow your brother not to remember, for his forgetfulness is YOURS. But YOUR remembering is HIS, for God can class="hi2">aan>nnot be remembered an class="hi2">aan>lone. THIS IS WHan class="hi2">Aan>T YOU Han class="hi2">Aan>VE FORGOTTEN. To perceive the hean class="hi2">aan>ling of your brother an class="hi2">aan>s the hean class="hi2">aan>ling of yourself, is thus the wan class="hi2">aan>y to remember God. For you forgot your brothers WITH Him, an class="hi2">aan>nd God's an class="hi2">aan>nswer to your forgetting is but the wan class="hi2">aan>y to remember."
"Do not an class="hi2">aan>llow your brother to be sick, for if he is, han class="hi2">aan>ve YOU an class="hi2">aan>ban class="hi2">aan>ndoned him to his own drean class="hi2">aan>m, by SHan class="hi2">Aan>RING it with him."
Since the ego is rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> smokescreen of lies, it is not true of an class="hi2">aan> person. Even if they an class="hi2">aan>re holding it up strongly in front of your fan class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n obstan class="hi2">aan>cle to pean class="hi2">aan>ce. To forgive is to OVERLOOK it, an class="hi2">aan>nd see BEYOND it, beyond their body, an class="hi2">aan>nd beyond their fan class="hi2">aan>lse sense of identity. To recognize who they an class="hi2">aan>re in spirit, an class="hi2">aan>nd to an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge the PERMan class="hi2">Aan>NENT TRUTH an class="hi2">aan>bout them. To hold them in the light an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">Aan>RE in the light.
This mean class="hi2">aan>ns in fan class="hi2">aan>ct bypan class="hi2">aan>ssing their illusory ego beliefs, their ego self, an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lizing than class="hi2">aan>t on an class="hi2">aan> higher level their mind is San class="hi2">Aan>NE. Only an class="hi2">aan> sman class="hi2">aan>ll portion of their mind is insan class="hi2">aan>ne an class="hi2">aan>nd their soul is still perfect. By tan class="hi2">aan>pping into the higher self an class="hi2">aan>nd truth of the person, you JOIN with them in love. This bypan class="hi2">aan>sses the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd increan class="hi2">aan>ses the wholeness within the mind, which in turn undoes the fan class="hi2">aan>lse ego identifican class="hi2">aan>tion - the sickness - the mentan class="hi2">aan>l illness. Becan class="hi2">aan>use "an class="hi2">aan>ll sickness is mentan class="hi2">aan>l illness." This is how miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re performed.
Don't be deceived. People an class="hi2">aan>re not who they san class="hi2">aan>y they an class="hi2">aan>re. Everyone han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n imposter in them. The Holy Spirit knows who we rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re, an class="hi2">aan>nd will an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken this truth in us if we will let him.
"Seek not to man class="hi2">aan>ke the Son of God an class="hi2">Aan>DJUST to his insan class="hi2">aan>nity.

Being in an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, unless your mind is an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>nd you're an class="hi2">aan>bout to get outtan class="hi2">aan> here, is an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of dean class="hi2">aan>th. We might think than class="hi2">aan>t the physican class="hi2">aan>l world is "life", but it's rean class="hi2">aan>lly dean class="hi2">aan>th. Or an class="hi2">aan>t the very lean class="hi2">aan>st, it is stan class="hi2">aan>ges of dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd prepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion for dean class="hi2">aan>th.
Those whose mind is not with Hean class="hi2">aan>ven han class="hi2">aan>ve chosen to believe in dean class="hi2">aan>th to some degree, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore an class="hi2">aan>re identifying themselves an class="hi2">aan>s something which is man class="hi2">aan>de of dean class="hi2">aan>th - the ego's idean class="hi2">aan> of living.
This is why an class="hi2">aan>ll objects an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>ls an class="hi2">aan>nd plan class="hi2">aan>nts an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>niman class="hi2">aan>ls an class="hi2">aan>nd human class="hi2">aan>ns an class="hi2">aan>nd plan class="hi2">aan>nets an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>ll "die" in this universe, becan class="hi2">aan>use they're an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy dying becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re FUNDEMan class="hi2">Aan>NTan class="hi2">Aan>LLY man class="hi2">aan>de of dean class="hi2">aan>th (sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion).
Physican class="hi2">aan>l birth IS an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly the beginning of DEan class="hi2">Aan>TH an class="hi2">aan>nd is NOT the beginning of life. Whan class="hi2">aan>t chan class="hi2">aan>nges is not an class="hi2">aan>live an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>nnot be life an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.
So an class="hi2">aan>ll those people out there, an class="hi2">aan>s bodies, an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ybe "you" an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>lso, an class="hi2">aan>re zombies. The living dean class="hi2">aan>d.
This is why RESURRECTION man class="hi2">aan>kes sense an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> RETURN to life. The finan class="hi2">aan>l resurrection is the complete exit from the "drean class="hi2">aan>m of dean class="hi2">aan>th" (by TRUTH not dean class="hi2">aan>th), but an class="hi2">aan>long the wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>s you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening to truth you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lso COMING Ban class="hi2">Aan>CK TO LIFE.
This is why "ran class="hi2">aan>ising the dean class="hi2">aan>d" is not just an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of restoring life to whan class="hi2">aan>t seems to be an class="hi2">aan> corpse, which IS entirely possible, but it an class="hi2">Aan>LSO mean class="hi2">aan>ns the ran class="hi2">aan>ising of an class="hi2">aan>ll those who an class="hi2">aan>re in the process of dying, who an class="hi2">aan>re unconsciously drean class="hi2">aan>ming, who identify themselves with "things than class="hi2">aan>t die", an class="hi2">aan>nd who an class="hi2">aan>re not rean class="hi2">aan>lly fully an class="hi2">aan>live.
Life is ONLY eternan class="hi2">aan>l life. Life is not pan class="hi2">aan>rtian class="hi2">aan>l living or pan class="hi2">aan>rtian class="hi2">aan>l dean class="hi2">aan>th or fluctuan class="hi2">aan>tions in-between. God is life an class="hi2">aan>nd is the giver of life. Not physican class="hi2">aan>l forms, but life an class="hi2">aan>s Immortan class="hi2">aan>l Spirit. The Christ. Son of God. Your Rean class="hi2">aan>l Self. Than class="hi2">aan>t is living with God in the living Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. This world is not than class="hi2">aan>t, an class="hi2">aan>lthough it man class="hi2">aan>y come to REFLECT an class="hi2">aan> vision of hean class="hi2">aan>ven prior to returning TO hean class="hi2">aan>ven.
Resurrection is the ran class="hi2">aan>ising of the dean class="hi2">aan>d ban class="hi2">aan>ck to eternan class="hi2">aan>l life an class="hi2">aan>nd the complete exiting of identifican class="hi2">aan>tion with or limitan class="hi2">aan>tion by an class="hi2">aan>nything which is not of God - i.e. an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of body. This an class="hi2">aan>pplies to "dean class="hi2">aan>d bodies" an class="hi2">aan>s much an class="hi2">aan>s it an class="hi2">aan>pplies to "living bodies", an class="hi2">Aan>LL of which an class="hi2">aan>re dean class="hi2">aan>d.
Life is forever.
If it were true than class="hi2">aan>t the dean class="hi2">aan>d could not be ran class="hi2">aan>ised, this would Han class="hi2">Aan>VE to mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t those who han class="hi2">aan>ve gone into unconsciousness an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd denian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re therefore choosing dean class="hi2">aan>th, could not be recovered. Those who han class="hi2">aan>ve fan class="hi2">aan>llen an class="hi2">aan>sleep into an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m world could not be san class="hi2">aan>ved. an class="hi2">Aan>nd those who an class="hi2">aan>re the "living dean class="hi2">aan>d" wan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>round believing they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>CIM students could not possibly INCREan class="hi2">Aan>SE their an class="hi2">aan>liveness.
If it is true than class="hi2">aan>t you Can class="hi2">Aan>N resurrect, than class="hi2">aan>t you Can class="hi2">Aan>N an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken from this dean class="hi2">aan>dly drean class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t you Can class="hi2">Aan>N return to Life, then one wan class="hi2">aan>y or an class="hi2">aan>nother, dean class="hi2">aan>th MUST be reversible. Ean class="hi2">aan>ch time you forgive an class="hi2">aan>nd clan class="hi2">aan>im the an class="hi2">aan>tonement, you an class="hi2">Aan>RE returning to life an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>RE RESURRECTING.
Either resurrection is possible an class="hi2">aan>nd perman class="hi2">aan>nent, or dean class="hi2">aan>th is possible an class="hi2">aan>nd perman class="hi2">aan>nent. Either dean class="hi2">aan>th han class="hi2">aan>s power over God's Son, or there is potentian class="hi2">aan>l for God's Son to return to life.
Fan class="hi2">aan>iling to believe than class="hi2">aan>t ran class="hi2">aan>ising the dean class="hi2">aan>d is POSSIBLE, MUST be an class="hi2">aan> belief than class="hi2">aan>t resurrection is IMPOSSIBLE. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if you do not believe in resurrection, you do not believe in forgiveness or the undoing of the ego. If you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">Aan>CIM student, you SHOULD believe than class="hi2">aan>t ran class="hi2">aan>ising the dean class="hi2">aan>d is entirely possible, otherwise there is no hope for you to return to God.
Only Eternan class="hi2">aan>l Life with God is rean class="hi2">aan>lity.

The two major interpretations of A Course in Miracles

1. God man class="hi2">aan>de the world, you an class="hi2">aan>re just an class="hi2">aan> spectan class="hi2">aan>tor in an class="hi2">aan> body, you chan class="hi2">aan>nge your perceptions an class="hi2">aan>bout it, you stan class="hi2">aan>y in it becan class="hi2">aan>use it’s God’s crean class="hi2">aan>tion (Hean class="hi2">aan>ven on Ean class="hi2">aan>rth) an class="hi2">aan>nd never wan class="hi2">aan>nt to lean class="hi2">aan>ve. "There is no world" refers to ego perceptions of the world. The world is not believed to be an class="hi2">aan>n illusion.
2. God did not man class="hi2">aan>ke the world, you an class="hi2">aan>re not just an class="hi2">aan> spectan class="hi2">aan>tor but an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>mer who man class="hi2">aan>de the world, its forms an class="hi2">aan>re your thoughts, your mind is bigger than class="hi2">aan>n the world, an class="hi2">aan>nd beyond the world entirely is an class="hi2">Aan>NOTHER world (Hean class="hi2">aan>ven) than class="hi2">aan>t God crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Ean class="hi2">aan>rth is just an class="hi2">aan>n illusion, bodies an class="hi2">aan>ren’t rean class="hi2">aan>l. There is no world.
I’ve encounted man class="hi2">aan>ny people now an class="hi2">aan>nd they an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys fan class="hi2">aan>ll into one or the other can class="hi2">aan>mp. It an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys hinges an class="hi2">aan>round whether God man class="hi2">aan>de the world or not. Whether it’s rean class="hi2">aan>l or not.
If you believe God man class="hi2">aan>de it, an class="hi2">aan>utoman class="hi2">aan>tican class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>ll of the rest of whan class="hi2">aan>t the Course san class="hi2">aan>ys han class="hi2">aan>s to be an class="hi2">aan>djusted to FIT than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nd is seen an class="hi2">aan>s supporting it.

Some people han class="hi2">aan>ve been studying an class="hi2">Aan>CIM for 30-40+ yean class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>nd believe #1 (God man class="hi2">aan>de the world) is the an class="hi2">Aan>CIM tean class="hi2">aan>ching. They van class="hi2">aan>lue the world, wan class="hi2">aan>nt to keep it, wan class="hi2">aan>nt to see bodies, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to spirituan class="hi2">aan>lize it an class="hi2">aan>nd love it an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>y in it. They can class="hi2">aan>n’t rean class="hi2">aan>lly help this becan class="hi2">aan>use the entire model of rean class="hi2">aan>lity steers you in than class="hi2">aan>t direction when the premise is than class="hi2">aan>t God crean class="hi2">aan>ted Ean class="hi2">aan>rth... "an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore".
I do not believe #1. #1 is "fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception" an class="hi2">aan>nd believing illusions an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>l. I believe #2. It is fan class="hi2">aan>r more ran class="hi2">aan>dican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd difficult to an class="hi2">aan>ccept. The idean class="hi2">aan>s of God not han class="hi2">aan>ving crean class="hi2">aan>ted the world an class="hi2">aan>re fan class="hi2">aan>r "bigger" an class="hi2">aan>nd mind bending. #1 is much san class="hi2">aan>fer an class="hi2">aan>nd "ean class="hi2">aan>sier" to relan class="hi2">aan>te to.
#2 is much more chan class="hi2">aan>llenging an class="hi2">aan>nd requires questioning of just an class="hi2">aan>bout everything you ever an class="hi2">aan>ssumed wan class="hi2">aan>s true. Than class="hi2">aan>t includes an class="hi2">aan>ssumptions than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re confined to an class="hi2">aan> body, the world outside of you is rean class="hi2">aan>lly there, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t the world "exists" or han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppened. These an class="hi2">aan>ren’t ean class="hi2">aan>sy to look an class="hi2">aan>t given whan class="hi2">aan>t than class="hi2">aan>t implies. Than class="hi2">aan>t there is literan class="hi2">aan>lly no world here.
It mean class="hi2">aan>ns you man class="hi2">aan>de the world ("the world you man class="hi2">aan>de"), you an class="hi2">aan>re pretending to be an class="hi2">aan> little body when in fan class="hi2">aan>ct you man class="hi2">aan>de the whole environment, you an class="hi2">aan>re drean class="hi2">aan>ming an class="hi2">aan> universe, Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan>nother rean class="hi2">aan>lm entirely, an class="hi2">aan>nd everything you ever thought han class="hi2">aan>ppened in the world did not han class="hi2">aan>ppen - not even the world itself. It an class="hi2">aan>lso then mean class="hi2">aan>ns you han class="hi2">aan>ve to find an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y to SEE beyond this world, to look pan class="hi2">aan>st the illusion of forms an class="hi2">aan>nd bodies, an class="hi2">aan>nd lean class="hi2">aan>ve this plan class="hi2">aan>ce to go Home to hean class="hi2">aan>ven where you belong.

So if we believe in sickness, than class="hi2">aan>t sickness is rean class="hi2">aan>l or than class="hi2">aan>t it is rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening, or than class="hi2">aan>t there is truth to it, or than class="hi2">aan>t it is founded on evidence or rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>uses than class="hi2">aan>t pretend to be the rean class="hi2">aan>sons why it is han class="hi2">aan>ppening, then we must be believing than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>lso ourselves an class="hi2">aan>re sick.
We can class="hi2">aan>nnot believe on the one han class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re not sick while others an class="hi2">aan>re sick. Or than class="hi2">aan>t sickness is han class="hi2">aan>ppening to them an class="hi2">aan>nd not to us. If we believe in sickness, we believe in it period, an class="hi2">aan>nd it an class="hi2">aan>pplies everywhere.
This is why we han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> vested interest, an class="hi2">aan> shan class="hi2">aan>red interest, in bringing hean class="hi2">aan>ling miran class="hi2">aan>cles to others, becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">Aan>CIM san class="hi2">aan>ys, miran class="hi2">aan>cles help both the giver an class="hi2">aan>nd the receiver.
We han class="hi2">aan>ve to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t it is the ego's thought system of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion which convinces us we an class="hi2">aan>re not the one who is an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted with sickness, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t it is someone else who is sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tely sick. Or than class="hi2">aan>t their sickness somehow belongs only to them an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t therefore we wan class="hi2">aan>nt to keep our distan class="hi2">aan>nce unless it infects us.
Perhan class="hi2">aan>ps the person is sick becan class="hi2">aan>use we believe we an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from them, an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion is the can class="hi2">aan>use of sickness.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd if they an class="hi2">aan>re sick, an class="hi2">aan>nd if it an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re not sick, we still must be sick becan class="hi2">aan>use in some wan class="hi2">aan>y we still believe than class="hi2">aan>t sickness is rean class="hi2">aan>l. Only if we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ble to overlook sickness in others an class="hi2">aan>nd recognize their true nan class="hi2">aan>ture, can class="hi2">aan>n we recognize our own true nan class="hi2">aan>ture.
So either wan class="hi2">aan>y, we must lean class="hi2">aan>rn not to be deceived by an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces of sickness in ourselves or in others, equan class="hi2">aan>lly, an class="hi2">aan>nd to look pan class="hi2">aan>st suffering to the truth of can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity, can class="hi2">aan>ncelling out an class="hi2">aan>ll of the an class="hi2">aan>rtifician class="hi2">aan>l fan class="hi2">aan>ke can class="hi2">aan>uses which man class="hi2">aan>squeran class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>sons why the sickness must exist.
There is no truth other than class="hi2">aan>n the truth of God, an class="hi2">aan>nd in God's rean class="hi2">aan>lity there can class="hi2">aan>n be no sickness.

This is all just a dream, remember?

Iman class="hi2">aan>gine you go into an class="hi2">aan> room which is just completely empty, with pure white wan class="hi2">aan>lls, ceiling an class="hi2">aan>nd floor. There is nothing in the room.
This room is an class="hi2">aan> holo-deck, or an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>phic projection room, in which very believan class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>l-seeming objects can class="hi2">aan>n show up.

Except than class="hi2">aan>t it's just an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>m.

The thing is, this other person is someone you know an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t person is sick, or they han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> disean class="hi2">aan>se, or an class="hi2">aan> problem, or some kind of suffering or lan class="hi2">aan>ck, or man class="hi2">aan>ybe they an class="hi2">aan>re dying, or an class="hi2">aan>re very emotionan class="hi2">aan>lly upset.

It rean class="hi2">aan>lly seems like than class="hi2">aan>t person is there, han class="hi2">aan>ving these issues, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t it's an class="hi2">aan>ll very tan class="hi2">aan>ngible an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>listic. You're so convinced you don't even remember than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re being projected by the san class="hi2">aan>me unseen system.
So then, becan class="hi2">aan>use you know this person an class="hi2">aan>nd they an class="hi2">aan>re unhan class="hi2">aan>ppy or unhean class="hi2">aan>lthy in some wan class="hi2">aan>y, you han class="hi2">aan>ve this rean class="hi2">aan>ction, or an class="hi2">aan> whole bunch of rean class="hi2">aan>ctions an class="hi2">aan>bout them. You believe their sickness is rean class="hi2">aan>l, becan class="hi2">aan>use it looks rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>n man class="hi2">aan>ybe even see an class="hi2">aan>nd touch it, or can class="hi2">aan>n see how it seems to be an class="hi2">aan>ffecting them. an class="hi2">Aan>nd your rean class="hi2">aan>ctions compel you to wan class="hi2">aan>nt to help or han class="hi2">aan>ve sympan class="hi2">aan>thy or fix them or do something to man class="hi2">aan>ke their suffering stop. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of these an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>ctions to the belief than class="hi2">aan>t they rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re sitting there, han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan>n unhan class="hi2">aan>ppy time, an class="hi2">aan>nd yet an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>long you don't rean class="hi2">aan>lize - than class="hi2">aan>t person is not even rean class="hi2">aan>lly sitting there. It's an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>phic projection of an class="hi2">aan> body, just like an class="hi2">aan>n iman class="hi2">aan>ge in an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m. It's coming from somewhere else.
You build up this whole set of rean class="hi2">aan>ctions an class="hi2">aan>nd counter-mean class="hi2">aan>sures an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttempts to solve the rean class="hi2">aan>l-seeming problem, so convinced than class="hi2">aan>t it's rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening an class="hi2">aan>nd there's an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l dan class="hi2">aan>nger or threan class="hi2">aan>t to than class="hi2">aan>t person. But there isn't. It's just an class="hi2">aan>n iman class="hi2">aan>ge. It's not an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness, it's an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>phic sickness. It's not rean class="hi2">aan>l dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ge to their body, it's just an class="hi2">aan> projected iman class="hi2">aan>ge. It's not rean class="hi2">aan>l suffering, it's just an class="hi2">aan> fictionan class="hi2">aan>l suffering. Some system somewhere unseen is projecting an class="hi2">aan>ll of this an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>king it seem very rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd convincing. It's totan class="hi2">aan>lly man class="hi2">aan>de-up.
Suddenly you see in the corner of the room an class="hi2">aan> doorwan class="hi2">aan>y, outside of which sits an class="hi2">aan> computer, an class="hi2">aan>nd this computer is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly projecting the iman class="hi2">aan>ges than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>re in the room. You can class="hi2">aan>n see bean class="hi2">aan>ms of light coming from it, man class="hi2">aan>king the person an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r, man class="hi2">aan>king the chan class="hi2">aan>irs an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r, an class="hi2">aan>nd then you notice it even man class="hi2">aan>king your own body an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r. Your own body is even an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>phic iman class="hi2">aan>ge coming from somewhere, an class="hi2">aan>nd it's not even rean class="hi2">aan>lly there.
Rean class="hi2">aan>lizing this, you RECOGNIZE than class="hi2">aan>t these iman class="hi2">aan>ges an class="hi2">aan>re just illusions being projected, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re not REan class="hi2">Aan>L. They an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>de up. The joke wan class="hi2">aan>s on you. You believed them an class="hi2">aan>nd fell for it. The other person isn't even rean class="hi2">aan>lly than class="hi2">aan>t body than class="hi2">aan>t you san class="hi2">aan>w. YOU an class="hi2">aan>ren't even the body than class="hi2">aan>t you thought you were. The chan class="hi2">aan>irs don't even exist. It's an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan> trick. Whan class="hi2">aan>t you thought wan class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness wan class="hi2">aan>s just an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of sickness, an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>phic projection of sickness. It wan class="hi2">aan>s nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> flickering iman class="hi2">aan>ge like from an class="hi2">aan> movie projector. It han class="hi2">aan>d no rean class="hi2">aan>lity to it, no truth to it. It wan class="hi2">aan>sn't doing an class="hi2">aan>nything, or can class="hi2">aan>using an class="hi2">aan>nything. It could've been switched on or off in an class="hi2">aan>n instan class="hi2">aan>nt, or even removed entirely an class="hi2">aan>t the flip of an class="hi2">aan> switch.
an class="hi2">Aan> little light lights up on the computer an class="hi2">aan>nd the iman class="hi2">aan>ge of the other person suddenly disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs. In their plan class="hi2">aan>ce, an class="hi2">aan>nother body shows up - the san class="hi2">aan>me person, but in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of perfect hean class="hi2">aan>lth. This reman class="hi2">aan>ins for an class="hi2">aan> moment an class="hi2">aan>s you man class="hi2">aan>rvel an class="hi2">aan>t it, thinking than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re now an class="hi2">aan> "rean class="hi2">aan>l hean class="hi2">aan>lthy body", an class="hi2">aan>nd you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>nother rean class="hi2">aan>ction - an class="hi2">aan> positive rean class="hi2">aan>ction but an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>ction nonetheless, than class="hi2">aan>t the other person han class="hi2">aan>s been san class="hi2">aan>ved. But this is fan class="hi2">aan>lse an class="hi2">aan>s well.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> second lan class="hi2">aan>ter the computer projects yet an class="hi2">aan>nother iman class="hi2">aan>ge of the person ban class="hi2">aan>ck to being an class="hi2">aan> sick body an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in. Your hean class="hi2">aan>rt sinks, an class="hi2">aan>s though the whole terrible nightman class="hi2">aan>re is han class="hi2">aan>ppening over an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in. But then 2 seconds lan class="hi2">aan>ter, it flips ban class="hi2">aan>ck to an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>lthy body an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in. You suddenly rean class="hi2">aan>lize an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in, an class="hi2">aan>ll of these body iman class="hi2">aan>ges an class="hi2">aan>re not rean class="hi2">aan>lity. None of them an class="hi2">aan>re true. None of them an class="hi2">aan>re who the person is. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nce of sickness is completely fictionan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd mean class="hi2">aan>ningless. If it can class="hi2">aan>n be switched on an class="hi2">aan>nd off an class="hi2">aan>t will, there is no victimhood whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever.
Seeing where the drean class="hi2">aan>m iman class="hi2">aan>ges an class="hi2">aan>re coming from, who is projecting them, the fan class="hi2">aan>lseness of their illusions, an class="hi2">aan>nd not buying into the deception than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY THERE, frees the mind to SEE an class="hi2">aan>nd RECOGNIZE illusions for whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re. Than class="hi2">aan>t other person you know who you think is rean class="hi2">aan>lly sick, is not sick an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. Their body is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m you an class="hi2">aan>re drean class="hi2">aan>ming. Their sickness is not even rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness. It's just an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>de-up iman class="hi2">aan>ge. It could be switched off in an class="hi2">aan>n instan class="hi2">aan>nt. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct Jesus tells us in the course than class="hi2">aan>t if we were to stop believing the lie, there is not an class="hi2">aan> single sickness which would not be cured instan class="hi2">aan>ntly.
We need to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to recognize the nothingness of whan class="hi2">aan>t IS nothing - this entire drean class="hi2">aan>m world an class="hi2">aan>nd everything in it. It's an class="hi2">aan>ll just an class="hi2">aan> big drean class="hi2">aan>m. We're DREan class="hi2">Aan>MING! This is not rean class="hi2">aan>lity. It is not rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. Nothing in this world is true. It's an class="hi2">aan>ll pretend. There is nothing of an class="hi2">aan>ny more importan class="hi2">aan>nce than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nything else, hence no order of difficulty in miran class="hi2">aan>cles, becan class="hi2">aan>use it's an class="hi2">aan>ll just "movie" than class="hi2">aan>t's being projected. The mind projecting it can class="hi2">aan>n chop an class="hi2">aan>nd chan class="hi2">aan>nge an class="hi2">aan>ny pan class="hi2">aan>rt of it in an class="hi2">aan>n instan class="hi2">aan>nt. It can class="hi2">aan>n flip between iman class="hi2">aan>ges of hean class="hi2">aan>lth an class="hi2">aan>nd sickness simply becan class="hi2">aan>use the body is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t lies beyond the illusion is free of an class="hi2">aan>ll sickness.
This is why we need to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t sickness/disean class="hi2">aan>se/suffering/upset/dean class="hi2">aan>th etc is not REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY Han class="hi2">Aan>PPENING. an class="hi2">Aan>nd there is nothing an class="hi2">aan>bout it which is so hean class="hi2">aan>vy an class="hi2">aan>nd fixed an class="hi2">aan>nd irreversible an class="hi2">aan>nd seemingly insurmountan class="hi2">aan>ble, than class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>n't be just flipped on or off an class="hi2">aan>t will. We need to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to BELIEVE an class="hi2">aan>nd PERCEIVE than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll forms, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> lesser group, an class="hi2">aan>ll sick forms, an class="hi2">aan>re nothing but temporan class="hi2">aan>rily momentan class="hi2">aan>ry iman class="hi2">aan>ges projected by an class="hi2">aan> mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd given the an class="hi2">aan>pproprian class="hi2">aan>te willingness an class="hi2">aan>nd clan class="hi2">aan>rity of perception, those forms can class="hi2">aan>n be chan class="hi2">aan>nged fully an class="hi2">aan>nd instan class="hi2">aan>ntly right now. We must overlook the illusions of how these forms of sickness/distortion an class="hi2">aan>re difficult or severe or life-threan class="hi2">aan>tening. Than class="hi2">aan>t's an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>n illusion. Dean class="hi2">aan>th is no more "difficult" an class="hi2">aan>n illusion to chan class="hi2">aan>nge than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> pimple on your fan class="hi2">aan>ce. The FREEDOM to do this is whan class="hi2">aan>t Jesus is tean class="hi2">aan>ching us, by helping us to SEE clean class="hi2">aan>rly than class="hi2">aan>t illusions of difficulty an class="hi2">aan>re completely fan class="hi2">aan>lse an class="hi2">aan>nd don't mean class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nything.
Nothing I see mean class="hi2">aan>ns an class="hi2">aan>nything, becan class="hi2">aan>use nothing I see in this drean class="hi2">aan>m is an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. It's an class="hi2">aan>ll one thing. One drean class="hi2">aan>m, one illusion, showing up an class="hi2">aan>s illusions of forms an class="hi2">aan>nd differences an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> hieran class="hi2">aan>rchy of illusions. The hieran class="hi2">aan>rchy is FLan class="hi2">Aan>T! There is no rean class="hi2">aan>l hieran class="hi2">aan>rchy. Can class="hi2">aan>ncer should be no more difficult to correct than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> bloody nose. It should be effortless to chan class="hi2">aan>nge an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>r into an class="hi2">aan> tree. This world han class="hi2">aan>s no power to prevent this can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>bility. But while we believe the illusions than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ve been projected an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re convinced there is such an class="hi2">aan> thing an class="hi2">aan>s "rean class="hi2">aan>l sickness", or "rean class="hi2">aan>l dean class="hi2">aan>th" or rean class="hi2">aan>sons "why you can class="hi2">aan>n't", then we an class="hi2">aan>re believing in the ego thought system an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve not restored can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect to its proper order (your mind can class="hi2">aan>uses, the world obeys). an class="hi2">Aan>nd if we can class="hi2">aan>n't do this, we still han class="hi2">aan>ve level confusion, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re sick ourselves.

ARTICLE:
Information loss in a course in miracles

We often tan class="hi2">aan>lk an class="hi2">aan>bout the versions of the course, the editing, whether an class="hi2">aan>ll the fan class="hi2">aan>cts an class="hi2">aan>re included etc. an class="hi2">Aan>nd then on top of than class="hi2">aan>t we try to understan class="hi2">aan>nd its metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l model, its concepts an class="hi2">aan>nd idean class="hi2">aan>s, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>rgue over which model is the right one.
But whan class="hi2">aan>t we should perhan class="hi2">aan>ps rean class="hi2">aan>lly be more concerned with is whether true informan class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>s been lost. ie whether we han class="hi2">aan>ve the whole truth represented in word form, or whether key detan class="hi2">aan>il han class="hi2">aan>s been lost.Informan class="hi2">aan>tion is ... the minimum an class="hi2">aan>mount of detan class="hi2">aan>il than class="hi2">aan>t is needed to represent something with perfect logican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>cy.
In its simplest form, for exan class="hi2">aan>mple, let's san class="hi2">aan>y there an class="hi2">aan>re two squan class="hi2">aan>res next to ean class="hi2">aan>ch other. One is blan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd one is white. You can class="hi2">aan>n distinguish than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re two, becan class="hi2">aan>use they contran class="hi2">aan>st to ean class="hi2">aan>ch other. This contran class="hi2">aan>st is informan class="hi2">aan>tion. If you were to, for exan class="hi2">aan>mple, color both squan class="hi2">aan>res white, you can class="hi2">aan>nnot tell whether its one squan class="hi2">aan>re or two squan class="hi2">aan>res. Informan class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>s been lost.
In informan class="hi2">aan>tion theory, which is used for such things an class="hi2">aan>s dan class="hi2">aan>tan class="hi2">aan> compression an class="hi2">aan>lgorithms for exan class="hi2">aan>mple, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lso in science, there is something can class="hi2">aan>lled entropy. Entropy is an class="hi2">aan> mean class="hi2">aan>sure of the an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely minimum possible size than class="hi2">aan>t the informan class="hi2">aan>tion can class="hi2">aan>n be, in order to fully an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>tely represent something.
When you han class="hi2">aan>ve files on your computer, or iman class="hi2">aan>ges for exan class="hi2">aan>mple, you can class="hi2">aan>n "compress" them. Usuan class="hi2">aan>lly this is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on representing lan class="hi2">aan>rger repean class="hi2">aan>ted things with sman class="hi2">aan>ller symbols. You can class="hi2">aan>n get ban class="hi2">aan>ck exan class="hi2">aan>ctly whan class="hi2">aan>t you stan class="hi2">aan>rted with by "de-compressing" it ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the symbols. But this can class="hi2">aan>n only be done up to an class="hi2">aan> point. There is an class="hi2">aan> threshold an class="hi2">aan>t which you Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT compress the files an class="hi2">aan>ny sman class="hi2">aan>ller, without losing informan class="hi2">aan>tion. an class="hi2">Aan>ll the "informan class="hi2">aan>tion" needed to fully describe the iman class="hi2">aan>ge must be retan class="hi2">aan>ined in some form.
With iman class="hi2">aan>ges for exan class="hi2">aan>mple, the jpeg file forman class="hi2">aan>t is not an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te representan class="hi2">aan>tion of the iman class="hi2">aan>ge. It LOSES an class="hi2">Aan>CCURan class="hi2">Aan>CY an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> tran class="hi2">aan>de-off for man class="hi2">aan>king the files sman class="hi2">aan>ller. The more an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>cy it loses, the sman class="hi2">aan>ller the representan class="hi2">aan>tion becomes, the blurrier the iman class="hi2">aan>ge is. It stan class="hi2">aan>rts to develop an class="hi2">aan>rtifan class="hi2">aan>cts which an class="hi2">aan>re visuan class="hi2">aan>l errors. From than class="hi2">aan>t "overly reduced" dan class="hi2">aan>tan class="hi2">aan>, you Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT get ban class="hi2">aan>ck the originan class="hi2">aan>l full fidelity an class="hi2">aan>nd quan class="hi2">aan>lity of the originan class="hi2">aan>l iman class="hi2">aan>ge. Key an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>cy of informan class="hi2">aan>tion is LOST.
When we conceive of truth, when we try to describe rean class="hi2">aan>lity, or tan class="hi2">aan>lk an class="hi2">aan>bout God an class="hi2">aan>nd his crean class="hi2">aan>tion etc, these lofty an class="hi2">aan>nd ran class="hi2">aan>ther an class="hi2">aan>bstran class="hi2">aan>ct metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l idean class="hi2">aan>s, the temptan class="hi2">aan>tion is to man class="hi2">aan>ke the representan class="hi2">aan>tion of than class="hi2">aan>t truth, the symbol of than class="hi2">aan>t truth, be an class="hi2">aan>s SMan class="hi2">Aan>LL an class="hi2">Aan>ND SHORT an class="hi2">aan>s possible. We somehow think than class="hi2">aan>t less is an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys more, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t "simpler" must be more true. This is NOT true. TOO FEW words is INan class="hi2">Aan>CCURan class="hi2">Aan>TE.
When an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te representan class="hi2">aan>tion of something is reduced SO much, it han class="hi2">aan>s to in fan class="hi2">aan>ct LOSE very importan class="hi2">aan>nt detan class="hi2">aan>il. The informan class="hi2">aan>tion becomes blurred, van class="hi2">aan>gue, generan class="hi2">aan>lized, overly an class="hi2">aan>bstran class="hi2">aan>ct, an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lly does NOT contan class="hi2">aan>in the subtle nuan class="hi2">aan>nces than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>spects of the whole truth. It man class="hi2">aan>y SEEM like it represents the whole of the truth but it doesn't. It's an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">Aan>PPROXIMan class="hi2">Aan>TION, like an class="hi2">aan> jpeg iman class="hi2">aan>ge, which is "sort of close" to being an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd gives you some idean class="hi2">aan> of it, but IS NOT an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te.
Exan class="hi2">aan>mples of this han class="hi2">aan>ppening include "reductionistic" stan class="hi2">aan>tements like "Everything is God." Well now. For some rean class="hi2">aan>son than class="hi2">aan>t sounds an class="hi2">aan>ll mystican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd specian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd lofty. But, such an class="hi2">aan> van class="hi2">aan>gue stan class="hi2">aan>tement lan class="hi2">aan>cks enough detan class="hi2">aan>il to be an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot GET Ban class="hi2">Aan>CK the full story when you Ban class="hi2">Aan>SE logican class="hi2">aan>l conclusions on this informan class="hi2">aan>tion. The reconstruction of the whole story is corrupted.
You could san class="hi2">aan>y for exan class="hi2">aan>mple, well, it seemed like the Son of God feel an class="hi2">aan>sleep an class="hi2">aan>nd drean class="hi2">aan>med of dean class="hi2">aan>th. But ... since ITS an class="hi2">Aan>LL GOD.... THIS MUST MEan class="hi2">Aan>N, logican class="hi2">aan>lly, than class="hi2">aan>t God HIMSELF fell an class="hi2">aan>sleep an class="hi2">aan>nd drean class="hi2">aan>med of dean class="hi2">aan>th. Than class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely whan class="hi2">aan>t it implies. You can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>rgue than class="hi2">aan>t "no it doesn't" but an class="hi2">aan>ll you're doing is trying to pretend than class="hi2">aan>t it is an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te becan class="hi2">aan>use the BS an class="hi2">aan>lan class="hi2">aan>rms an class="hi2">aan>re going off to indican class="hi2">aan>te errors. The fan class="hi2">aan>ct is than class="hi2">aan>t the informan class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>t's given is NOT ENOUGH, it DOES NOT an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>tely represent the whole truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd it's too van class="hi2">aan>gue.
MORE WORDS IS BETTER! Or perhan class="hi2">aan>ps we can class="hi2">aan>n san class="hi2">aan>y, you wan class="hi2">aan>nt idean class="hi2">aan>lly the fewer number of words which FULLY an class="hi2">Aan>ND an class="hi2">Aan>CCURan class="hi2">Aan>TELY represent the whole truth. I you can class="hi2">aan>n be sure this is not going to be 3 words or even 20 words.
So yes, even in terms of thinking an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan>bstran class="hi2">aan>ct spirituan class="hi2">aan>l stuff, even in terms of oneness, god being an class="hi2">aan>ll, everything is mind, son an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>ther blending into ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, going beyond words an class="hi2">aan>nd concepts... an class="hi2">aan>ll this stuff.... when you an class="hi2">aan>re USING Lan class="hi2">Aan>NGUan class="hi2">Aan>GE an class="hi2">aan>nd logican class="hi2">aan>l constructs to THINK an class="hi2">aan>bout it..... an class="hi2">aan>nd you strip SO much an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t you stan class="hi2">aan>rt losing vitan class="hi2">aan>l informan class="hi2">aan>tion, going BEYOND the entropy threshold, you an class="hi2">aan>re literan class="hi2">aan>lly turning an class="hi2">aan> detan class="hi2">aan>iled an class="hi2">aan>nd nuan class="hi2">aan>nced truth into an class="hi2">aan> blob of mush an class="hi2">aan>nd mud an class="hi2">aan>nd blurriness an class="hi2">aan>nd mean class="hi2">aan>ninglessness. Becan class="hi2">aan>use you think than class="hi2">aan>t is whan class="hi2">aan>t spirituan class="hi2">aan>lity is like .... this oneness thing... must mean class="hi2">aan>n, we only need to use one word. Not even close.
There IS an class="hi2">aan>n entropy limit beyond which you can class="hi2">aan>nnot go, in logican class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>soning, in discussion, in theorizing, in metan class="hi2">aan>physics, in conceptuan class="hi2">aan>lizing rean class="hi2">aan>lity, where if you DO go beyond it, you han class="hi2">aan>ve chopped out SO much informan class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>t you're not even rean class="hi2">aan>lly tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout the whole truth an class="hi2">aan>nymore. You're man class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan> van class="hi2">aan>gue an class="hi2">aan>pproximan class="hi2">aan>tion which is NOT an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te enough. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it is therefore MISELan class="hi2">Aan>DING. The more you push it towan class="hi2">aan>rds eran class="hi2">aan>dican class="hi2">aan>ting an class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>ny words an class="hi2">aan>s possible, down to like "everything's God"... you han class="hi2">aan>ve seriously censored significan class="hi2">aan>nt man class="hi2">aan>jor truths.
If for exan class="hi2">aan>mple I han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> flower with 6 petan class="hi2">aan>ls an class="hi2">aan>nd I tell you than class="hi2">aan>t I han class="hi2">aan>ve "an class="hi2">aan> flower", but I don't tell you than class="hi2">aan>t it han class="hi2">aan>s 6 petan class="hi2">aan>ls, in your mind you man class="hi2">aan>y envisan class="hi2">aan>ge an class="hi2">aan> flower with 8 petan class="hi2">aan>ls. You an class="hi2">aan>re wrong. I did not give you enough informan class="hi2">aan>tion to represent the whole truth an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t I han class="hi2">aan>ve. There is informan class="hi2">aan>tion loss. I han class="hi2">aan>ve been TOO Van class="hi2">Aan>GUE. I han class="hi2">aan>ve reduced the an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>cy of the representan class="hi2">aan>tion of truth BEYOND the limit of informan class="hi2">aan>tion entropy, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve gone into the rean class="hi2">aan>lm of an class="hi2">aan> Lan class="hi2">Aan>CK OF TRUTH. an class="hi2">Aan> loss of precision.
It is funny then than class="hi2">aan>t when we tan class="hi2">aan>lk an class="hi2">aan>bout "its an class="hi2">aan>ll one thing", we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly Lan class="hi2">Aan>CKING truth, while pretending to tan class="hi2">aan>lk an class="hi2">aan>bout truth. We an class="hi2">aan>re not being an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te becan class="hi2">aan>use we an class="hi2">aan>re not giving enough informan class="hi2">aan>tion. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct we're trying to SPIRITUan class="hi2">Aan>LIZE WORDS by han class="hi2">aan>ving the fewest words possible. Less words is not more spirituan class="hi2">aan>l! In fan class="hi2">aan>ct less words can class="hi2">aan>n be corrupting an class="hi2">aan>nd destructive an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> complete misrepresentan class="hi2">aan>tion of the truth.
There an class="hi2">aan>re some people than class="hi2">aan>t go so fan class="hi2">aan>r with their stripping an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y of an class="hi2">aan>ny notion of an class="hi2">aan>nything informan class="hi2">aan>tionan class="hi2">aan>l - which usuan class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns an class="hi2">aan>nything sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te-sounding - an class="hi2">aan>ny contran class="hi2">aan>st or delinean class="hi2">aan>tion or division or an class="hi2">aan>ny notion of an class="hi2">aan> "something" or two of an class="hi2">aan>nything.... than class="hi2">aan>t they enter an class="hi2">aan> logican class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>lm of totan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>bstran class="hi2">aan>ct bullshit. It devolves into mean class="hi2">aan>ningless drivel with specian class="hi2">aan>lness an class="hi2">aan>ll over it. Ego loves to do this becan class="hi2">aan>use it thinks an class="hi2">aan> count of one is more spirituan class="hi2">aan>l than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> count of two. It's concept of truth is flan class="hi2">aan>wed.
If for exan class="hi2">aan>mple it is true than class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st one son. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if we san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t this son IS God. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">Aan>LL than class="hi2">aan>t we tell you. If we tell you than class="hi2">aan>t is the WHOLE truth. Then someone is going to think ok.... the son IS God, so.... when the son fucks up an class="hi2">aan>nd drean class="hi2">aan>ms of dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd iman class="hi2">aan>gines murder, this must be God doing it right? Sure thing. God is now drean class="hi2">aan>ming of dean class="hi2">aan>th. We weren't specific enough or an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te enough.
It's an class="hi2">aan> nice idean class="hi2">aan> to iman class="hi2">aan>gine than class="hi2">aan>t God is this totan class="hi2">aan>l 100% an class="hi2">aan>bstran class="hi2">aan>ction which is SO an class="hi2">aan>bstran class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t there is NO detan class="hi2">aan>il to it, no properties, no structure, no quan class="hi2">aan>lities, no chan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>cteristics, nothing. Just an class="hi2">aan> nice blob of existence sitting there an class="hi2">aan>ll by itself. Than class="hi2">aan>t is NOT an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te enough representan class="hi2">aan>tion using words an class="hi2">aan>nd symbols an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>nguan class="hi2">aan>ge. It is an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>ssive informan class="hi2">aan>tion loss. an class="hi2">Aan>nd God DOES in fan class="hi2">aan>ct han class="hi2">aan>ve properties, quan class="hi2">aan>lities, an class="hi2">aan> "nan class="hi2">aan>ture", an class="hi2">aan> premise, lan class="hi2">aan>w, mind, thought, can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>tion, will, love, etc. The an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to reduce truth to NOTHING, is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt by the ego to destroy the truth!
We Han class="hi2">Aan>VE to understan class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t God is for exan class="hi2">aan>mple infinite an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>bsolute. We han class="hi2">aan>ve to properly specify whan class="hi2">aan>t God'e nan class="hi2">aan>ture an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly is before we can class="hi2">aan>n stan class="hi2">aan>rt ban class="hi2">aan>sing conclusions on it. If you knew than class="hi2">aan>t God is can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tor, you would an class="hi2">aan>lso know than class="hi2">aan>t God MUST han class="hi2">aan>ve crean class="hi2">aan>tions which MUST in turn han class="hi2">aan>ve crean class="hi2">aan>tions. The logic in this is utterly impeccan class="hi2">aan>ble. But you can class="hi2">aan>n't see than class="hi2">aan>t or come to than class="hi2">aan>t conclusion is you DON'T specify than class="hi2">aan>t God is can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>l, or than class="hi2">aan>t his crean class="hi2">aan>tions han class="hi2">aan>ve to inherit through extension, or than class="hi2">aan>t he is an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tor an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.
So when you become too van class="hi2">aan>gue, thinking it is spirituan class="hi2">aan>l, thinking you an class="hi2">aan>re representing truth more, thinking than class="hi2">aan>t "its oneness" is the most spirituan class="hi2">aan>l thing an class="hi2">aan>nyone han class="hi2">aan>s ever conceived of. ... it is not true. You Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT go than class="hi2">aan>t fan class="hi2">aan>r into the loss of informan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd represent the whole truth using lan class="hi2">aan>nguan class="hi2">aan>ge an class="hi2">aan>nd logic. But people an class="hi2">aan>re doing it an class="hi2">aan>ll the time. "It's an class="hi2">aan>ll God" ... well, sort of... but no. It's not. God han class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>tions. "God is everything" .. well.. sort of, but no. God is not an class="hi2">aan>n illusion. Did you specify than class="hi2">aan>t? You need to.
So in terms of the editions of the course an class="hi2">aan>nd the editing an class="hi2">aan>nd the words in the book an class="hi2">aan>nd the repetition of concepts an class="hi2">aan>nd idean class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>nd whether it contan class="hi2">aan>ins an class="hi2">Aan>LL distinct informan class="hi2">aan>tion, fan class="hi2">aan>ct, an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>cy, precision an class="hi2">aan>nd is "complete" informan class="hi2">aan>tionan class="hi2">aan>lly, you rean class="hi2">aan>lly need to think more in terms of ..... is there an class="hi2">aan> full an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te representan class="hi2">aan>tion of the whole truth here. Is there ENOUGH words to represent the whole messan class="hi2">aan>ge. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t does NOT mean class="hi2">aan>n there should be too FEW words OR more than class="hi2">aan>n is needed. More words is not an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>n improvement either.
We might an class="hi2">aan>sk if something han class="hi2">aan>s been LOST, vitan class="hi2">aan>l informan class="hi2">aan>tion, which is not repean class="hi2">aan>ted, which is missing, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t without it the picture is incomplete. It doesn't man class="hi2">aan>tter so much if the san class="hi2">aan>me idean class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>re presented man class="hi2">aan>ny times, or if the concepts tan class="hi2">aan>ught an class="hi2">aan>re built upon by others, etc. We need the whole an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>cy an class="hi2">aan>nd full scope of the truth, enough description to lean class="hi2">aan>ve no loopholes, but we don't necessan class="hi2">aan>rily need 550,000 words to do than class="hi2">aan>t. But whan class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>tters is when you become SO reductionistic than class="hi2">aan>t you chop out VITan class="hi2">Aan>L informan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r up your own an class="hi2">aan>rse.
So perhan class="hi2">aan>ps we can class="hi2">aan>n steer an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from an class="hi2">aan>ll these super-short ultran class="hi2">aan>-van class="hi2">aan>gue trying-to-be-mystican class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>tements of van class="hi2">aan>gueness, an class="hi2">aan>nd instean class="hi2">aan>d rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t you Han class="hi2">Aan>VE to use enough words in order to fully communican class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan>. You can class="hi2">aan>n't JUST san class="hi2">aan>y "God is" an class="hi2">aan>t this level an class="hi2">aan>nd expect someone to understan class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t this DOESN'T imply than class="hi2">aan>t God is an class="hi2">aan> piece of dog poop on the sidewan class="hi2">aan>lk. an class="hi2">Aan> more an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te, more detan class="hi2">aan>iled definition is needed, to close loopholes an class="hi2">aan>nd stop logican class="hi2">aan>l errors from han class="hi2">aan>ppening. This is why an class="hi2">Aan>CIM is presented an class="hi2">aan>s ran class="hi2">aan>ther an class="hi2">aan> lot of words, an class="hi2">aan>nd not just one.
The course tries to represent an class="hi2">aan> picture of the whole truth. It tries to tan class="hi2">aan>lk an class="hi2">aan>bout God an class="hi2">aan>nd his nan class="hi2">aan>ture. It doesn't do it in 2 words. It does it with an class="hi2">aan> grean class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>ny words becan class="hi2">aan>use Jesus knows than class="hi2">aan>t you Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT represent the nuan class="hi2">aan>nces of rean class="hi2">aan>lity in such an class="hi2">aan> sman class="hi2">aan>ll number of symbols. There is an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in level of entropy to this. You can class="hi2">aan>n't properly represent God, crean class="hi2">aan>tion, kingdom, sonship, holy spirit, souls, your crean class="hi2">aan>tions, eternan class="hi2">aan>l life, immortan class="hi2">aan>lity, etc... in two words.
It han class="hi2">aan>s nothing to do with an class="hi2">aan> person's inan class="hi2">aan>bility to "gran class="hi2">aan>sp the truth of oneness" either. No one is gran class="hi2">aan>sping the truth of oneness by using the word oneness in an class="hi2">aan> sentence. Oneness an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly encan class="hi2">aan>psulan class="hi2">aan>tes ran class="hi2">aan>ther an class="hi2">aan> lot of detan class="hi2">aan>ils which you might not think an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of it. Oneness doesn't forego God han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> son. But it implies than class="hi2">aan>t there is no son an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. Than class="hi2">aan>t is wrong. It is not an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te representan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd not enough informan class="hi2">aan>tion. The son is literan class="hi2">aan>lly lost in than class="hi2">aan>t formulan class="hi2">aan>tion.
Nor is someone being "an class="hi2">aan>ll spirituan class="hi2">aan>l" just becan class="hi2">aan>use they tan class="hi2">aan>lk an class="hi2">aan>bout God an class="hi2">aan>s if he's SO an class="hi2">aan>bstran class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n't san class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>bout him an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>tely an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. We might an class="hi2">aan>s well san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t God is so beyond everything than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n't even san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t God is beyond everything. Whan class="hi2">aan>t then? If you're GOING to use words, an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>nguan class="hi2">aan>ge, an class="hi2">aan>nd logican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>rguments, you Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT REDUCE IT beyond an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in point an class="hi2">aan>nd expect to be an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>tely representing it.
God is ... much more than class="hi2">aan>n... just oneness.

A simple meditation based on being quiet

Here's an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>irly ean class="hi2">aan>sy meditan class="hi2">aan>tion you can class="hi2">aan>n try. I can class="hi2">aan>ll it 'being quiet'. You can class="hi2">aan>n use it to connect with an class="hi2">aan>nd listen to Holy Spirit or Jesus.
Consider than class="hi2">aan>t your thoughts an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>udible, i.e. they an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>king sounds. If you can class="hi2">aan>n hean class="hi2">aan>r your thoughts, you an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>king sounds. an class="hi2">Aan>nd everyone else can class="hi2">aan>n hean class="hi2">aan>r your thoughts too, like being in an class="hi2">aan> room han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> conversan class="hi2">aan>tion. I don't mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t there is an class="hi2">aan> thought an class="hi2">aan>nd there is an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te sound, I mean class="hi2">aan>n the thought IS the sound. We're so used to believing than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll our thoughts an class="hi2">aan>re privan class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t we let them run wild an class="hi2">aan>nd unchecked, an class="hi2">aan>s though they impan class="hi2">aan>ct nobody else. For the san class="hi2">aan>ke of this meditan class="hi2">aan>tion, "there an class="hi2">aan>re no privan class="hi2">aan>te thoughts!" - an class="hi2">Aan>CIM
Then iman class="hi2">aan>gine than class="hi2">aan>t you're in some plan class="hi2">aan>ce where, for whan class="hi2">aan>tever rean class="hi2">aan>son, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to be very very quiet an class="hi2">aan>nd not man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>ny sound. Man class="hi2">aan>ybe you pretend you're in an class="hi2">aan> libran class="hi2">aan>ry or an class="hi2">aan> church or something. You don't han class="hi2">aan>ve to picture an class="hi2">aan>nything pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>rly, you just need to know you need to be quiet - your an class="hi2">aan>udible thoughts need to be quietened down.
The man class="hi2">aan>in thing is simply 'being quiet' mentan class="hi2">aan>lly, which ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns, not crean class="hi2">aan>ting thoughts becan class="hi2">aan>use they would disturb the pean class="hi2">aan>ce. Since you know your thoughts an class="hi2">aan>re going to man class="hi2">aan>ke sounds than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>re hean class="hi2">aan>rd, an class="hi2">aan>nd you need to be an class="hi2">aan>s quiet an class="hi2">aan>s possible, this simply compels you to focus on being quiet.
This isn't the san class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>s thought control. You're not trying to stop thoughts once they've han class="hi2">aan>ppened. You're just being quiet so than class="hi2">aan>t you do not man class="hi2">aan>ke thoughts in the first plan class="hi2">aan>ce. an class="hi2">Aan>nd since your focus is on 'being quiet', than class="hi2">aan>t's enough to stop them an class="hi2">aan>rising. IF thoughts stan class="hi2">aan>rt to pop up you can class="hi2">aan>n bet you han class="hi2">aan>ve 'fan class="hi2">aan>iled' to be quiet becan class="hi2">aan>use now your mind is chan class="hi2">aan>ttering, an class="hi2">aan>nd everyone can class="hi2">aan>n hean class="hi2">aan>r you! Shhhhhh!
I find this is ean class="hi2">aan>sier for me than class="hi2">aan>n trying to be 'still', becan class="hi2">aan>use stillness for me is too an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted with lan class="hi2">aan>ck of physican class="hi2">aan>l movement or not brean class="hi2">aan>thing an class="hi2">aan>nd it just man class="hi2">aan>kes me become tense. I an class="hi2">aan>lso find this ean class="hi2">aan>sier than class="hi2">aan>n trying to focus on my brean class="hi2">aan>thing or brean class="hi2">aan>thing in an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>r wan class="hi2">aan>y or 'thought wan class="hi2">aan>tching' an class="hi2">aan>nd trying not to get can class="hi2">aan>ught up in thoughts. Than class="hi2">aan>t's han class="hi2">aan>rd. Once thoughts an class="hi2">aan>re crean class="hi2">aan>ted they kind of han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> mind of their own, becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re like little crean class="hi2">aan>ted beings with their own little bit of consciousness going off in ran class="hi2">aan>ndom directions. Not man class="hi2">aan>king thoughts an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll bypan class="hi2">aan>sses than class="hi2">aan>t. It's much ean class="hi2">aan>sier to be quiet when there an class="hi2">aan>re no thoughts to dean class="hi2">aan>l with, than class="hi2">aan>n to try to clean class="hi2">aan>n up an class="hi2">aan> noisy thought-mess an class="hi2">aan>fter it's been triggered.
Once you've been doing this for an class="hi2">aan>l little while your mind should quieten down. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct you should be an class="hi2">aan>ble to 'be quiet' very quickly.

A little willingness invites the holy spirit

To be willing, is an class="hi2">aan> movement in an class="hi2">aan> VERTICan class="hi2">Aan>L direction upwan class="hi2">aan>rds towan class="hi2">aan>rds God/Holy Spirit/Light. Unwillingness is an class="hi2">aan> movement an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from God into the dan class="hi2">aan>rkness of the ego. In order to become willing, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to willingly an class="hi2">aan>nd trustingly move an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st an class="hi2">aan> little in the direction of forgiveness an class="hi2">aan>nd truth. an class="hi2">Aan> willingness to be mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, an class="hi2">aan> willingness to surrender, an class="hi2">aan> willingness to let go, an class="hi2">aan> willingness to consider than class="hi2">aan>t your brother might not be sinful, is an class="hi2">aan> movement upwan class="hi2">aan>rds towan class="hi2">aan>rds the truth. an class="hi2">Aan>nd therefore an class="hi2">aan> movement in the direction of INCREan class="hi2">Aan>SED FREEDOM OF WILL.
This little step towan class="hi2">aan>rds God is an class="hi2">aan>n invitan class="hi2">aan>tion to the Holy Spirit to enter. It is PERMISSION than class="hi2">aan>t your an class="hi2">aan>re giving to Him to help you. Through your free will, you an class="hi2">aan>re san class="hi2">aan>ying, I an class="hi2">aan>m WILLING to open up to an class="hi2">aan> grean class="hi2">aan>ter truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd thus you open the door an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>LLOW an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPT than class="hi2">aan>t which can class="hi2">aan>n come down to help ran class="hi2">aan>ise you up. Willingness isn't an class="hi2">aan>bout sidewan class="hi2">aan>ys doing, or horizontan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect.
It's an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>bout opening up your will to more freedom, moving an class="hi2">aan>bove the ban class="hi2">aan>ttlefield beyond limits, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore letting go of some sman class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>mount of imprisonment. You need only show even the slightest willingness to reconsider your position, question your fan class="hi2">aan>lse beliefs, recognize than class="hi2">aan>t your brother is not the problem, or han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> sense of honesty an class="hi2">aan>bout your perspective, an class="hi2">aan>nd this an class="hi2">aan>lone is yet enough for the Holy Spirit to recognize you an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>ching up to Him an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>sking to be involved with His Help. an class="hi2">Aan>nd he will come, an class="hi2">aan>nd he will help you, to the degree you an class="hi2">aan>re WILLING TO an class="hi2">Aan>LLOW Him to hean class="hi2">aan>l you FOR you.
"I do NOT feel guilty, becan class="hi2">aan>use the Holy Spirit will undo an class="hi2">Aan>LL the consequences of my wrong decision IF I WILL LET HIM."
"the Holy Spirit will respond fully to your slightest invitan class="hi2">aan>tion"
"This is the invitan class="hi2">aan>tion to the Holy Spirit. I told you than class="hi2">aan>t I could rean class="hi2">aan>ch up an class="hi2">aan>nd bring the Holy Spirit down to you. But I can class="hi2">aan>n bring Him to you only an class="hi2">aan>t your own invitan class="hi2">aan>tion."
"The holy instan class="hi2">aan>nt does NOT come from your little willingness an class="hi2">aan>lone. It is an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS the result of your SMan class="hi2">Aan>LL willingness COMBINED with the unlimited power of HIS WILL."
"Purifican class="hi2">aan>tion is of God an class="hi2">aan>lone, an class="hi2">aan>nd THEREFORE for you. Ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n seek to prepan class="hi2">aan>re YOURSELF for Him, try to think thus:
"I, who an class="hi2">aan>m host to God, an class="hi2">Aan>M worthy of Him.
He Who ESTan class="hi2">Aan>BLISHED His dwelling-plan class="hi2">aan>ce in me crean class="hi2">aan>ted it an class="hi2">aan>s He would han class="hi2">aan>ve it be.
It is not needful than class="hi2">aan>t I man class="hi2">aan>ke it rean class="hi2">aan>dy for Him, but only than class="hi2">aan>t I DO NOT INTERFERE with His plan class="hi2">aan>n to RESTORE to me my own an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RENESS of my rean class="hi2">aan>diness, which is eternan class="hi2">aan>l.
I need an class="hi2">Aan>DD nothing to His plan class="hi2">aan>n.
But to RECEIVE it, I MUST be willing NOT to substitute my own, IN PLan class="hi2">Aan>CE of it.""

The truth is, there is an class="hi2">aan> secret rean class="hi2">aan>son for the fean class="hi2">aan>r which han class="hi2">aan>s nothing to do with who or whan class="hi2">aan>t it is projected onto.

I an class="hi2">aan>m secretly man class="hi2">aan>king it han class="hi2">aan>ppen by trying to defend myself from God. My secret wish is to be sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from God an class="hi2">aan>nd to deny than class="hi2">aan>t God exists.

See, undernean class="hi2">aan>th the fan class="hi2">aan>rce of projected fean class="hi2">aan>r, there is an class="hi2">aan> dean class="hi2">aan>th wish. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t dean class="hi2">aan>th wish wouldn't be there if I did not Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT it.

Can class="hi2">aan>n I be an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id if I get honest an class="hi2">aan>nd own up to using fean class="hi2">aan>r to cover up MY deliberan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to be dean class="hi2">aan>d?

I han class="hi2">aan>ve to an class="hi2">aan>dmit than class="hi2">aan>t fean class="hi2">aan>r is an class="hi2">aan> choice, just an class="hi2">aan>s dean class="hi2">aan>th is an class="hi2">aan> choice. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it's ME than class="hi2">aan>t is doing it TO MYSELF. This is the key to san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion.
I can class="hi2">aan>n decide I do not like whan class="hi2">aan>t I han class="hi2">aan>ve chosen for myself an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>dmit than class="hi2">aan>t I chose it - it wan class="hi2">aan>s not crean class="hi2">aan>ted by an class="hi2">aan>nyone else or an class="hi2">aan>nything else - an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing else is keeping it in plan class="hi2">aan>ce other than class="hi2">aan>n my secret wish for dean class="hi2">aan>th. Do I like the results? Do I wan class="hi2">aan>nt it? Shan class="hi2">aan>ll I keep it? Is it working out? an class="hi2">Aan>m I enjoying the results? Proban class="hi2">aan>bly not.
Man class="hi2">aan>ybe it's time I an class="hi2">aan>dmit than class="hi2">aan>t I chose mistan class="hi2">aan>kedly an class="hi2">aan>nd it wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> poor choice, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t I wan class="hi2">aan>nt something better. Man class="hi2">aan>ybe I'll an class="hi2">aan>dmit than class="hi2">aan>t it is pointless to deny God becan class="hi2">aan>use it doesn't man class="hi2">aan>ke God go an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y, an class="hi2">aan>nd being without Him is an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys going to be an class="hi2">aan> less enjoyan class="hi2">aan>ble experience. I can class="hi2">aan>n be stubborn an class="hi2">aan>bout it or I can class="hi2">aan>n give up trying to be dean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPT LIFE instean class="hi2">aan>d.
We do han class="hi2">aan>ve this choice. We man class="hi2">aan>ke this life-or-dean class="hi2">aan>th decision every single time we choose ego over God.
The good news then, is, since we were the ones choosing dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>r, we can class="hi2">aan>n choose an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd choose not to be dean class="hi2">aan>d. Yes, dean class="hi2">aan>th is an class="hi2">aan> CHOICE. If I choose to an class="hi2">aan>ccept LIFE then I will permit eternan class="hi2">aan>l life to lift me up an class="hi2">aan>nd sustan class="hi2">aan>in me forever. There is nothing 'the ego' can class="hi2">aan>n do to prevent this becan class="hi2">aan>use the ego is nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n my insan class="hi2">aan>ne mistan class="hi2">aan>ken choice to try to reject God.
So whan class="hi2">aan>t's it going to be todan class="hi2">aan>y? Life or dean class="hi2">aan>th? You choose.
I'll give you an class="hi2">aan> hint. Dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly isn't dean class="hi2">aan>th, it's just an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m of dean class="hi2">aan>th, which is just denian class="hi2">aan>l. It doensn't an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly do an class="hi2">aan>nything to the Rean class="hi2">aan>l You. YOU can class="hi2">aan>n't die. So trying to do so is an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>ste of time.
Give up. Surrender. Choose God an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd be han class="hi2">aan>ppy.

Finding yourself as a part of God

Lan class="hi2">aan>tely I feel like I han class="hi2">aan>ve found an class="hi2">aan> whole new sense of identity, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t I've discovered God.
I han class="hi2">aan>ve been dwelling on two workbook lessons, 91 an class="hi2">aan>nd 92. They tan class="hi2">aan>lk an class="hi2">aan>bout how I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan> body, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>sks therefore, whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>m I? The focus is put on discovering who I rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>m if I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan> not an class="hi2">aan> limited, sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted self, an class="hi2">aan>nd begins to reinforce the van class="hi2">aan>rious an class="hi2">aan>ttributes of whan class="hi2">aan>t must be my rean class="hi2">aan>l self.
Then in 92 it builds on this by suggesting than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll the an class="hi2">aan>ttributes of my rean class="hi2">aan>l self an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly shan class="hi2">aan>red with God. Than class="hi2">aan>t for exan class="hi2">aan>mple God's light is my strength, than class="hi2">aan>t I see in God's light, than class="hi2">aan>t I shan class="hi2">aan>re God's mind, than class="hi2">aan>t my strength is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly God in me etc.
These to me seem to be an class="hi2">aan> kind of two step lean class="hi2">aan>p in identity - 1) Than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>m something an class="hi2">aan>bove an class="hi2">aan>nd beyond this level an class="hi2">aan>nd world, an class="hi2">aan>nd 2) Than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll my rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ttributes an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly Pan class="hi2">Aan>RT OF GOD. Than class="hi2">aan>t my an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l self is SHan class="hi2">Aan>RED with him an class="hi2">aan>nd everything true of my rean class="hi2">aan>l self is INHERITED an class="hi2">aan>nd simultan class="hi2">aan>neously one with him.
Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t to clan class="hi2">aan>im my rean class="hi2">aan>l self, to be not an class="hi2">aan> body or an class="hi2">aan>n ego, I an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ve to rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God himself, than class="hi2">aan>t everything I han class="hi2">aan>ve comes from him, than class="hi2">aan>t there is an class="hi2">aan> strength an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> power IN me which is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly HIM. Than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m host to him, than class="hi2">aan>t he is in fan class="hi2">aan>ct the life an class="hi2">aan>nd the light in me, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t I can class="hi2">aan>n kind of step ban class="hi2">aan>ck into him an class="hi2">aan>nd merge with him. Even my self, my soul, is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n extended pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God himself which HE DWELLS IN.
I can class="hi2">aan>nnot rean class="hi2">aan>lly explan class="hi2">aan>in it but there han class="hi2">aan>s been an class="hi2">aan> stran class="hi2">aan>nge lean class="hi2">aan>p in confidence, sense of outwan class="hi2">aan>rd expression, of certan class="hi2">aan>inty an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>rlessness, which han class="hi2">aan>s suddenly erupted an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result of this. It seems like an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>jor shift in who an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">Aan>M, an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from "I'll do this an class="hi2">aan>ll by myself" to "God an class="hi2">aan>nd I will do this together." an class="hi2">Aan> lean class="hi2">aan>p from exclusion to inclusion, an class="hi2">aan>nd from selfishness to shan class="hi2">aan>ring.
I've been han class="hi2">aan>ving some .. bright an class="hi2">aan>nd clean class="hi2">aan>r views of the world, in which it looks quite bean class="hi2">aan>utiful, which seems to effortlessly come by an class="hi2">aan>ffirming than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll MY an class="hi2">aan>ttributes an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly God in me. Than class="hi2">aan>t I see in his light, think with his mind, than class="hi2">aan>t my strength is his, than class="hi2">aan>t I forgive with his love, than class="hi2">aan>t I SHan class="hi2">Aan>RE with him. an class="hi2">Aan>nd through this an class="hi2">aan>cknowledgement of him in my mind, I lean class="hi2">aan>p further to seeing God in everything. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>bout TRUST.
I han class="hi2">aan>ve to san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t the degree of seeming 'light' than class="hi2">aan>t these visions entan class="hi2">aan>il is fan class="hi2">aan>r beyond an class="hi2">aan>nything than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ny other course pran class="hi2">aan>ctice han class="hi2">aan>s ever revean class="hi2">aan>led. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it seems so simply an class="hi2">aan>ccessed through the an class="hi2">aan>cknowledgement of God in me, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t my SELF is embedded in him an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of him. I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>n extension of God. Everything I an class="hi2">aan>m comes from him an class="hi2">aan>nd IS HIM!
By opening up to than class="hi2">aan>t, which is WITHIN myself, kind of behind myself, an class="hi2">aan>ll of the sense of han class="hi2">aan>ppiness an class="hi2">aan>nd love an class="hi2">aan>nd power an class="hi2">aan>nd light an class="hi2">aan>nd so on just seems to switch on like an class="hi2">aan> lightbulb an class="hi2">aan>nd flood my perception with 'forgiveness'. This isn't an class="hi2">aan>n intellectuan class="hi2">aan>l exercise or an class="hi2">aan> concept or theory. It's an class="hi2">aan>n immersive experience. I an class="hi2">aan>m putting myself into God's han class="hi2">aan>nds an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>m seeing myself an class="hi2">aan>s united with his an class="hi2">aan>ttributes. Than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nything I han class="hi2">aan>ve is OF him an class="hi2">aan>nd not of me.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m is not just myself. Whan class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m isn't an class="hi2">aan>n isolan class="hi2">aan>ted, fenced-off me. The wan class="hi2">aan>lls an class="hi2">aan>re dropping. Whan class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m is shan class="hi2">aan>red with the whole. Whan class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m is given to me by something much lan class="hi2">aan>rger. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it seems the blessings an class="hi2">aan>nd gifts of God an class="hi2">aan>re Fan class="hi2">Aan>R Fan class="hi2">Aan>R Fan class="hi2">Aan>R in an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>nce of an class="hi2">aan>ny sense of "me an class="hi2">aan>nd mine" than class="hi2">aan>t I could possibly come up with an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> body-identified ego.
It an class="hi2">aan>lso seems so very simple. Just stepping ban class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd sinking into an class="hi2">aan> sense of self than class="hi2">aan>t is man class="hi2">aan>de of God himself. an class="hi2">Aan>llowing myself to host him. an class="hi2">Aan>ccepting than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m whan class="hi2">aan>t he han class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>ted me to be. Recognizing not simply than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m some kind of spirituan class="hi2">aan>l self, but than class="hi2">aan>t I ONLY han class="hi2">aan>ve whan class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s PUT in me, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t he han class="hi2">aan>s put in me is HIMSELF!
This an class="hi2">aan>lso lean class="hi2">aan>ds to the recognition than class="hi2">aan>t everyone else, an class="hi2">aan>ll other children of God, an class="hi2">aan>lso han class="hi2">aan>ve God in them. an class="hi2">Aan>nd I an class="hi2">aan>m seeing this in the course more an class="hi2">aan>nd more. To an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nother is to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck God becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re host to God. To recognize than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re HOST to God, is to recognize their san class="hi2">aan>credness an class="hi2">aan>nd to honor the power of God in them.
I can class="hi2">aan>nnot join with an class="hi2">aan>nother WITHOUT joining with God an class="hi2">aan>nd the Holy Spirit in them, becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>ll must be included! I can class="hi2">aan>n't exclusively join with just one person, to the exclusion of God. God han class="hi2">aan>s to be pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the joining becan class="hi2">aan>use he is the love. an class="hi2">Aan>nd his entire Kingdom must be there an class="hi2">aan>s well. To love unconditionan class="hi2">aan>lly is to love the whole sonship an class="hi2">aan>t once.
To be an class="hi2">aan>n isolan class="hi2">aan>ted, sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted, exclusive, body-identified self, is to be HOSTan class="hi2">Aan>GE to the ego. You can class="hi2">aan>n be hostan class="hi2">aan>ge to the ego or host to God. This is our choice. To host God is to han class="hi2">aan>ve him be in you an class="hi2">aan>nd through you, in which an class="hi2">aan>ll he shan class="hi2">aan>res with an class="hi2">aan>nd gives to you, is given FOR you an class="hi2">aan>nd FOR others. an class="hi2">Aan>nd thus does it extend beyond yourself an class="hi2">aan>lone, becan class="hi2">aan>use nothing is for yourself an class="hi2">aan>lone.
"Would you be hostan class="hi2">aan>ge to the ego or host to God? You will an class="hi2">aan>ccept only whom YOU invite.

The ego mind is a split mind

The ego mind is an class="hi2">aan> mind of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd conflict.
The ego mind an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys han class="hi2">aan>s two fan class="hi2">aan>ces - an class="hi2">aan> personan class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> shan class="hi2">aan>dow.
Within the ego mind itself, one pan class="hi2">aan>rt of itself is an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the other pan class="hi2">aan>rt. The ego mind an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cks itself, being an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> of self an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck.
The personan class="hi2">aan> portion of the ego mind is whan class="hi2">aan>t most people most often identify with, thinking than class="hi2">aan>t this is their entire 'self'.
The shan class="hi2">aan>dow portion of the ego mind is the pan class="hi2">aan>rt most people disan class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>te from, project onto others, an class="hi2">aan>nd hide unconsciously. This pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the mind we do not identify with, an class="hi2">aan>nd believe it is not even an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of ourself. Therefore we scan class="hi2">aan>pegoan class="hi2">aan>t it onto others an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccuse other people of being it.
But an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll times, both the positive an class="hi2">aan>nd negan class="hi2">aan>tive an class="hi2">aan>re within the confines of our ego mind. Both the stuff we think is good an class="hi2">aan>nd the stuff we think is ban class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>re within our mind. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the stuff we think is our 'self' an class="hi2">aan>nd the stuff we think is 'not self' (i.e. 'others) is still within our own mind.
Both the enemies than class="hi2">aan>t we perceive an class="hi2">aan>s 'not me', or 'out there', an class="hi2">aan>nd the innocent victim than class="hi2">aan>t we try to position ourselves an class="hi2">aan>s 'in here', an class="hi2">aan>re both an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">aan> single mind which is an class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>r with itself.
This wan class="hi2">aan>r is tan class="hi2">aan>king plan class="hi2">aan>ce between your mind an class="hi2">aan>nd your mind. It is an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>r of self-an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck. Within the an class="hi2">aan>renan class="hi2">aan> of your mind, you han class="hi2">aan>ve these two sides, comprising the personan class="hi2">aan> judger an class="hi2">aan>nd the shan class="hi2">aan>dow retan class="hi2">aan>lian class="hi2">aan>tor. Or, the personan class="hi2">aan> victim an class="hi2">aan>nd the shan class="hi2">aan>dow victimizer.
Most of the time the shan class="hi2">aan>dow is projected an class="hi2">aan>nd disan class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted from, mean class="hi2">aan>ning we see it outside of 'our self' (the personan class="hi2">aan> self) an class="hi2">aan>nd disconnected from it. We literan class="hi2">aan>lly believe through disan class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>t it is not our own self, we wan class="hi2">aan>nt nothing to do with it, we try to get rid of it, an class="hi2">aan>nd we use the personan class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of our mind to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck it. Even though it's an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of (not an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt from) this one mind.
We become so deceived by this 'split' in consciousness, this mentan class="hi2">aan>l delusion of two selves, than class="hi2">aan>t the personan class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of us, which we most typican class="hi2">aan>lly believe is the whole ego, does everything it can class="hi2">aan>n to disan class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>te itself from the projected sin/guilt/fean class="hi2">aan>r/wrongness. It wan class="hi2">aan>nts nothing to do with it, entirely becan class="hi2">aan>use this an class="hi2">aan>ttitude increan class="hi2">aan>ses the sense of *sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion*, or the severity of the 'split' within the mind, between the good-fan class="hi2">aan>voring an class="hi2">aan>nd ban class="hi2">aan>d-fan class="hi2">aan>voring pan class="hi2">aan>rts.
We need to lean class="hi2">aan>rn the secret to san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>ccording to Jesus, which is than class="hi2">aan>t "you an class="hi2">aan>re doing this to yourself".
Whan class="hi2">aan>t this mean class="hi2">aan>ns is, our whole mind is an class="hi2">aan> contan class="hi2">aan>iner in which there is both the ego personan class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd the ego shan class="hi2">aan>dow. The stuff we deny, reject, judge, project, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck is the shan class="hi2">aan>dow pan class="hi2">aan>rt, but it's still an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of our own mind. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the personan class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt which tries to reject than class="hi2">aan>t pan class="hi2">aan>rt is an class="hi2">aan>lso in our own mind. It is not than class="hi2">aan>t the good pan class="hi2">aan>rts an class="hi2">aan>re good or than class="hi2">aan>t it is being an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked by the ban class="hi2">aan>d pan class="hi2">aan>rts than class="hi2">aan>t's the issue. Than class="hi2">aan>t's not the problem. The problem is the sense of *sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion* between these two pan class="hi2">aan>rts.
The sense than class="hi2">aan>t the 'ban class="hi2">aan>d stuff in me' is 'someone else', is our man class="hi2">aan>jor error. The an class="hi2">aan>ccusan class="hi2">aan>tion of sin onto someone else, which is rean class="hi2">aan>lly our own sin, is an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. The belief than class="hi2">aan>t someone is not One with us, is an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. The projection of our dan class="hi2">aan>rkness outwan class="hi2">aan>rd, an class="hi2">aan>nd our cutting it off from ourselves to crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>n enemy, is an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke.
The dan class="hi2">aan>rkness of the shan class="hi2">aan>dow ONLY an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to be dan class="hi2">aan>rk an class="hi2">aan>nd unwan class="hi2">aan>nted becan class="hi2">aan>use of how intensely the 'good-seeking' personan class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of us, than class="hi2">aan>t we retan class="hi2">aan>in identifican class="hi2">aan>tion with, tries to increan class="hi2">aan>se the 'contran class="hi2">aan>st' between the two. The dan class="hi2">aan>rkness would not an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">Aan>S dan class="hi2">aan>rk if this sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion or rift or split were not an class="hi2">aan>s pronounced. But this would an class="hi2">aan>lso han class="hi2">aan>ve to mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t the good-focused pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the mind be diminished in its exclusivity, its fan class="hi2">aan>vor an class="hi2">aan>nd its judgement.
See it is not just the ban class="hi2">aan>d icky shan class="hi2">aan>dow stuff than class="hi2">aan>t we need to 'get rid of'. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct it is the ego personan class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t tries to get rid of than class="hi2">aan>t stuff, which mean class="hi2">aan>ns the ego personan class="hi2">aan> is kept, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore the ego is kept, man class="hi2">aan>king this an class="hi2">aan> tran class="hi2">aan>p. The more you try to get rid of stuff the more you man class="hi2">aan>nufan class="hi2">aan>cture an class="hi2">aan> story an class="hi2">aan>bout how dan class="hi2">aan>rk than class="hi2">aan>t stuff is, an class="hi2">aan>nd it will grow stronger an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n enemy of the personan class="hi2">aan>. an class="hi2">Aan>ll enemies an class="hi2">aan>re pretty much tied into the personan class="hi2">aan>'s idean class="hi2">aan> of whan class="hi2">aan>t it does not wan class="hi2">aan>nt, in order to man class="hi2">aan>ke itself look better. But if the personan class="hi2">aan> is going to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck the shan class="hi2">aan>dow, then the mind is going to become more split, an class="hi2">aan>nd both pan class="hi2">aan>rts an class="hi2">aan>re still going to stan class="hi2">aan>y within the confines of the single mind. So you will suffer.
Enemies an class="hi2">aan>re not the problem. Sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between good an class="hi2">aan>nd ban class="hi2">aan>d is the problem. Sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between good-loving personan class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd good-han class="hi2">aan>ting shan class="hi2">aan>dow is the problem. an class="hi2">Aan>nd not rean class="hi2">aan>lizing than class="hi2">aan>t both of these pan class="hi2">aan>rts of your experience an class="hi2">aan>re entirely WITHIN your own mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s NOTHING to do with an class="hi2">aan>nyone else, is the big rean class="hi2">aan>lizan class="hi2">aan>tion here.
You need to come to an class="hi2">aan> perspective, an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, where you an class="hi2">aan>re looking an class="hi2">aan>t the contents of your mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t both the personan class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of your mind is within you, an class="hi2">Aan>ND the shan class="hi2">aan>dow pan class="hi2">aan>rt - the enemy, the an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cker, the things you don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt, the pan class="hi2">aan>rts you think an class="hi2">aan>re 'other people', than class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">Aan>LSO in your mind. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you need to get to where you can class="hi2">aan>n see BOTH an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time an class="hi2">aan>s being pan class="hi2">aan>rt of YOU. It is than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, where an class="hi2">aan> sense of Self 'span class="hi2">aan>ns' an class="hi2">aan>nd INCLUDES both pan class="hi2">aan>rts, than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re in the kind of span class="hi2">aan>ce where you can class="hi2">aan>n see than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re, literan class="hi2">aan>lly, doing this to yourself. You an class="hi2">aan>re the victim an class="hi2">aan>nd the victimizer. You an class="hi2">aan>re the personan class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd the shan class="hi2">aan>dow. You an class="hi2">aan>re both pan class="hi2">aan>rts of this sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted ego.
When you see this, an class="hi2">aan>nd hold this perspective for an class="hi2">aan> moment, where you can class="hi2">aan>n see both 'chan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>cters' if you will, both pan class="hi2">aan>rts of you an class="hi2">aan>t once, you will see in than class="hi2">aan>t light how ridiculous it is than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst yourself.

It spean class="hi2">aan>ks then of forgiveness, oneness, in than class="hi2">aan>t in order for us to be forgiven, we need to be forgivING, so than class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>n see than class="hi2">aan>t both ourselves an class="hi2">aan>nd others an class="hi2">aan>re EQUan class="hi2">Aan>L in our innocence. Than class="hi2">aan>t's not an class="hi2">aan> worldly ego perspective, than class="hi2">aan>t's the perspective of Holy Spirit.
Lean class="hi2">aan>d us not into temptan class="hi2">aan>tion, simply suggests than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re not in temptan class="hi2">aan>tion now an class="hi2">aan>nd we'd like to keep it than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>y. Therefore we stan class="hi2">aan>y IN God, an class="hi2">aan>bove the ban class="hi2">aan>ttlefield, in order to be immortan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd invulneran class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>nd free from illusions or fean class="hi2">aan>r. To be delivered from evil mean class="hi2">aan>ns to stan class="hi2">aan>y in Holy Spirit an class="hi2">aan>nd to be sustan class="hi2">aan>ined by God an class="hi2">aan>ll through the dan class="hi2">aan>y, IN God, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n like, sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from God.

So I guess the man class="hi2">aan>in thing here is, who an class="hi2">aan>re you pran class="hi2">aan>ying this WITH. If you pran class="hi2">aan>y it with the ego, it mean class="hi2">aan>ns an class="hi2">aan> much less powerful an class="hi2">aan>nd reinforcing messan class="hi2">aan>ge than class="hi2">aan>n if you pran class="hi2">aan>y it from Holy Spirit's van class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>ge point, where you an class="hi2">aan>re up there in truth an class="hi2">aan>nd light with Him.

Mind vs Body - what is a miracle?

Some people san class="hi2">aan>y the course is an class="hi2">aan>bout chan class="hi2">aan>nging your mind, an class="hi2">aan>s though chan class="hi2">aan>nging the body is an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te thing or not whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re supposed to do.
This is the belief than class="hi2">aan>t mind an class="hi2">aan>nd body an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te.
So if you then han class="hi2">aan>ve to choose one version of MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CLES vs an class="hi2">aan>nother, you'll either decide miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re supernan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd physican class="hi2">aan>lly tran class="hi2">aan>nsforman class="hi2">aan>tive, or than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re only chan class="hi2">aan>nges in mind.
The importan class="hi2">aan>nt thing is, this idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t mind an class="hi2">aan>nd body an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te, is an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke.
Body is not sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from mind. Body is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion than class="hi2">aan>t the mind is drean class="hi2">aan>ming, WITHIN ITSELF, an class="hi2">aan>nd is man class="hi2">aan>de of mind-stuff. It is idean class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd thought. Than class="hi2">aan>t's an class="hi2">aan>ll. Just an class="hi2">aan>n iman class="hi2">aan>ge in the iman class="hi2">aan>ginan class="hi2">aan>tion.
So this is where the two can class="hi2">aan>mps JOIN, becan class="hi2">aan>use now if the body is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>spect of whan class="hi2">aan>t the mind is thinking, perceiving, doing, then an class="hi2">aan>s the mind chan class="hi2">aan>nges than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns the body MUST chan class="hi2">aan>nge.
The two can class="hi2">aan>mps of "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te mind" an class="hi2">aan>nd "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te body" an class="hi2">aan>re now joined by this one piece of informan class="hi2">aan>tion - than class="hi2">aan>t the body an class="hi2">aan>nd mind an class="hi2">aan>re NOT two things. There is ONLY mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd it encompan class="hi2">aan>sses the body an class="hi2">aan>nd the world an class="hi2">aan>nd the universe.
Than class="hi2">aan>t now mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t not only is it true than class="hi2">aan>t the Course is an class="hi2">aan>bout chan class="hi2">aan>nging your mind/perception, it an class="hi2">Aan>LSO mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t the Course is an class="hi2">aan>bout chan class="hi2">aan>nging the world through supernan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l mean class="hi2">aan>ns. ie, mind over man class="hi2">aan>tter, or the power of the mind, to demonstran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd reflect the mind's stan class="hi2">aan>te.
So we an class="hi2">aan>re not living in an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l world an class="hi2">aan>s such, we're living inside an class="hi2">aan> gian class="hi2">aan>nt MIND. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll the objects you see an class="hi2">aan>re IMan class="hi2">Aan>GES in the mind - just idean class="hi2">aan>s, iman class="hi2">aan>ginan class="hi2">aan>tion. an class="hi2">Aan>nd nothing else. There is no such thing an class="hi2">aan>s physican class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>tter or an class="hi2">aan> "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te body".
an class="hi2">Aan>nd so an class="hi2">aan>s the mind chan class="hi2">aan>nges, so too do the iman class="hi2">aan>ges in the mind chan class="hi2">aan>nge, thus the world chan class="hi2">aan>nges. This is why the supernan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>spect of miran class="hi2">aan>cles is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly perfectly in han class="hi2">aan>rmony with the Course's idean class="hi2">aan>s of chan class="hi2">aan>nges in perception.
an class="hi2">Aan>s you look an class="hi2">aan>t someone's body you an class="hi2">aan>re looking an class="hi2">aan>t content within their MIND.
"The world IS perception"
This an class="hi2">aan>lso lean class="hi2">aan>ds us to rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t when the course tan class="hi2">aan>lks an class="hi2">aan>bout "the world you see" in relan class="hi2">aan>tion to perception, we most likely han class="hi2">aan>ve grossly misunderstood its mean class="hi2">aan>ning, given than class="hi2">aan>t we interpreted it to mean class="hi2">aan>n the perceptuan class="hi2">aan>l content of our inner mind, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t it wan class="hi2">aan>s describing the world an class="hi2">Aan>S pan class="hi2">aan>rt of our perception. This han class="hi2">aan>s led to an class="hi2">aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>nner of misunderstan class="hi2">aan>ndings an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t the course mean class="hi2">aan>ns by correction of perception.

Are you a dream? Or are you the dreamer?

If you believe you an class="hi2">aan>re pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, man class="hi2">aan>de of drean class="hi2">aan>m stuff, you can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked.

"If you let your mind han class="hi2">aan>rbor an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck thoughts, yield to judgement or man class="hi2">aan>ke plan class="hi2">aan>ns an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst uncertan class="hi2">aan>inties to come, you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in misplan class="hi2">aan>ced yourself, an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan> bodily identity which will an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck the body, for the mind is sick."
The drean class="hi2">aan>m of dean class="hi2">aan>th, span class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd time, the world of sin, is an class="hi2">aan>ll tan class="hi2">aan>king plan class="hi2">aan>ce in thought. If you identify WITH this thought, you shift your sense of "who an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m" an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from "than class="hi2">aan>t which thinks" to "the thought itself". an class="hi2">Aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from mind to the drean class="hi2">aan>m.
To do this requires than class="hi2">aan>t you deny whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re. To deny your soul. Doing this invents perception, an class="hi2">aan>nd doing it an class="hi2">aan> lot pushes you towan class="hi2">aan>rds fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception. Here, you believe than class="hi2">aan>t since you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, or pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, or man class="hi2">aan>de of drean class="hi2">aan>m-stuff, the drean class="hi2">aan>m ITSELF must be your crean class="hi2">aan>tor.
This now begins the process of believing than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>t the effect of the world.

"You an class="hi2">aan>re immortan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>nnot die. But you can class="hi2">aan>n confuse yourself with things than class="hi2">aan>t do."
By confusing your SELF, with drean class="hi2">aan>m figures, ie by believing you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> body, an class="hi2">aan>nd by extension an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly believing than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">Aan>RE THIS WORLD ("The world is perception"), you position yourself an class="hi2">aan>t the EFFECT of the drean class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan>nd introduce an class="hi2">aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>nner of suffering into your experience.
If your identity is something OUTSIDE OF span class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd time, something BEYOND the body, something more encompan class="hi2">aan>ssing than class="hi2">aan>n the drean class="hi2">aan>m world itself... if you an class="hi2">aan>re the MIND than class="hi2">aan>t is drean class="hi2">aan>ming it, or even better, the soul than class="hi2">aan>t is using the mind to drean class="hi2">aan>m it, then you an class="hi2">aan>re Fan class="hi2">Aan>R BEYOND the rean class="hi2">aan>ches of the drean class="hi2">aan>m itself.

"The Kingdom of God is perfectly protected. Nothing can class="hi2">aan>n prevan class="hi2">aan>il an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst it."

It an class="hi2">aan>ll hinges an class="hi2">aan>round the simple question of identity. Who or whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>re you?

You have a permanent self which will not end

You DO han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> self, an class="hi2">aan> PERMan class="hi2">Aan>NENT soul, which God crean class="hi2">aan>ted. There is an class="hi2">aan> you in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. God loves YOU an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys will.
Being in ego, it rean class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to DENY yourself, to NOT BE yourself. The ego an class="hi2">aan>nd the body an class="hi2">aan>re iman class="hi2">aan>ges of whan class="hi2">aan>t you THINK you an class="hi2">aan>re, which an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ttempts to cover up whan class="hi2">aan>t you REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY an class="hi2">aan>re.

We an class="hi2">aan>re perman class="hi2">aan>nently brothers in crean class="hi2">aan>tion. In rean class="hi2">aan>lity, God crean class="hi2">aan>ted man class="hi2">aan>ny children an class="hi2">aan>nd we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll equan class="hi2">aan>l.

Believing than class="hi2">aan>t "you will end" in the an class="hi2">aan>tonement is rean class="hi2">aan>lly the ego's fean class="hi2">aan>r. The EGO will end, an class="hi2">aan>nd the ego is not you. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct the ego is NOT the idean class="hi2">aan> of an class="hi2">aan> self. It is an class="hi2">aan>n ILLUSION of an class="hi2">aan> self, an class="hi2">Aan>PPEan class="hi2">Aan>RING to be an class="hi2">aan> self, but is EXan class="hi2">Aan>CTLY OPPOSITE TO THan class="hi2">Aan>T. It is the idean class="hi2">aan> of the END OF YOU. It is the an class="hi2">aan>nti-christ. Which is why it lean class="hi2">aan>ds to dean class="hi2">aan>th.
It's the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t YOUR SELF, which God gan class="hi2">aan>ve you, han class="hi2">aan>s "become sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted from" other selves. Than class="hi2">aan>t you've been ostran class="hi2">aan>cized from the fan class="hi2">aan>mily. Rejected. an class="hi2">Aan>ban class="hi2">aan>ndoned. an class="hi2">Aan>lone. It is this "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from" the rest of God's Kingdom than class="hi2">aan>t is being hean class="hi2">aan>led in the an class="hi2">aan>tonement, so than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n RETURN TO being in UNITY WITH an class="hi2">aan>ll other crean class="hi2">aan>ted beings. To return home to reunite with your brothers an class="hi2">aan>nd with God.
The ego fean class="hi2">aan>rs its end becan class="hi2">aan>use the Holy Spirit proves IT does not exist. an class="hi2">Aan>tonement is the end of the ego. But YOU an class="hi2">aan>re not the ego. It's ONLY becan class="hi2">aan>use you - your rean class="hi2">aan>l self - han class="hi2">aan>s tried to IDENTIFY WITH the ego self, the "not me" fan class="hi2">aan>ke self, than class="hi2">aan>t you think YOU will go down with it. You will not. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct your sense of self is going to expan class="hi2">aan>nd to it FULLNESS.
"The ego is the idean class="hi2">aan> of selfishness. The Soul is the idean class="hi2">aan> of self-fullness."
When you an class="hi2">aan>re FULLY YOUR SELF, you will be an class="hi2">aan>s God crean class="hi2">aan>ted you. When you an class="hi2">aan>re not being fully yourself, it's becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re rejecting some pan class="hi2">aan>rts of existence by trying to be selfish, an class="hi2">aan>nd simply put selfishness is whan class="hi2">aan>t the ego is. an class="hi2">Aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to isolan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd exclude. It is ONLY the isolan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd exclusivity which ends, NOT your self. You BECan class="hi2">Aan>ME an class="hi2">aan> "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted one", but you do not han class="hi2">aan>ve to reman class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted one.

Your rean class="hi2">aan>l self is perman class="hi2">aan>nent an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>l. "I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan>n illusion but an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>lity."

A lesson in not mistaking the dream for reality

I received an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>rge envelope in the man class="hi2">aan>il. It wan class="hi2">aan>s from an class="hi2">aan> medican class="hi2">aan>l group than class="hi2">aan>t we depend on currently for an class="hi2">aan> trean class="hi2">aan>tment. I wondered whan class="hi2">aan>t it could be. Or more to the point, I fean class="hi2">aan>red whan class="hi2">aan>t it might be. Wan class="hi2">aan>s it an class="hi2">aan> bill? Wan class="hi2">aan>s it an class="hi2">aan> notice of terminan class="hi2">aan>tion? Wan class="hi2">aan>s it more rules being lan class="hi2">aan>id down to control behan class="hi2">aan>viors? Wan class="hi2">aan>s it some serious requirement we were going to han class="hi2">aan>ve to go through? an class="hi2">Aan>ll this ran class="hi2">aan>n through my mind in an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of seconds in rean class="hi2">aan>ction to "seeing it." an class="hi2">Aan>nd I han class="hi2">aan>dn't even opened it yet.
I then remembered, than class="hi2">aan>t this is an class="hi2">aan> prime exan class="hi2">aan>mple of rean class="hi2">aan>cting in fean class="hi2">aan>r to some "portion" of the world. Something in the world seems to han class="hi2">aan>ppen, some "drean class="hi2">aan>m" seems to occur, an class="hi2">aan>nd then I perceive it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if I perceive it is REan class="hi2">Aan>L, forgetting than class="hi2">aan>t it is complete fiction an class="hi2">aan>nd isn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening, I MUST experience some portion of the hieran class="hi2">aan>rchy of illusions. Some mean class="hi2">aan>sure of fean class="hi2">aan>r, threan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nd dan class="hi2">aan>nger must an class="hi2">aan>rise, to correspond to the perceived severity of "the problem than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>me out of nowhere".
So then I remembered, oh yean class="hi2">aan>,.... there is no world. This is me rean class="hi2">aan>cting to pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>s if it is rean class="hi2">aan>l. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so I san class="hi2">aan>w, wow, look an class="hi2">aan>t how my mind just went right into FEan class="hi2">Aan>R, the instan class="hi2">aan>nt than class="hi2">aan>t I san class="hi2">aan>w whan class="hi2">aan>t this envelope wan class="hi2">aan>s, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>llowed its "rean class="hi2">aan>lity" to enter my mind. By not remembering this is just an class="hi2">aan>nother drean class="hi2">aan>m episode, my mind wan class="hi2">aan>s "snan class="hi2">aan>gged" or can class="hi2">aan>ught up on the drean class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan>s if bound to it an class="hi2">aan>nd pan class="hi2">aan>rt of it.
The an class="hi2">aan>utoman class="hi2">aan>tic go-to rean class="hi2">aan>ction wan class="hi2">aan>s to be an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result. Yet the instan class="hi2">aan>nt than class="hi2">aan>t I thought to myself, "there is no world, this is just an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m", the fean class="hi2">aan>r melted an class="hi2">aan>nd I felt han class="hi2">aan>ppy an class="hi2">aan>nd light an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>fe. I stepped outside of it. I refran class="hi2">aan>med it. I remembered this little "event" is nowhere an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing. an class="hi2">Aan>nd I san class="hi2">aan>w how stran class="hi2">aan>nge it is than class="hi2">aan>t I would go into an class="hi2">aan>utoman class="hi2">aan>tic, uncontrolled fean class="hi2">aan>r, just an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>ction to han class="hi2">aan>ving man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>n envelope rean class="hi2">aan>l. Han class="hi2">aan>ving then told myself than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll man class="hi2">aan>nner of defensiveness is needed, in the form of fean class="hi2">aan>r, to prepan class="hi2">aan>re myself for whan class="hi2">aan>t this wan class="hi2">aan>s going to "do to us".
an class="hi2">Aan>s I stepped outside of it an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>ughed, with the fean class="hi2">aan>r gone, an class="hi2">aan>nd trying to stan class="hi2">aan>y in the han class="hi2">aan>ppy an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness than class="hi2">aan>t there is no world, I noticed how I proban class="hi2">aan>bly for an class="hi2">aan>ll my life han class="hi2">aan>ve "rean class="hi2">aan>cted to drean class="hi2">aan>ms" in this wan class="hi2">aan>y. Ean class="hi2">aan>ch time some thing seems to han class="hi2">aan>ppen in the world, there han class="hi2">aan>s been this "being can class="hi2">aan>ught up in it". an class="hi2">Aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>ch time I an class="hi2">aan>m can class="hi2">aan>ught up in it there is suffering. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>long with than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re upset feelings an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd stress. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it's an class="hi2">aan>ll becan class="hi2">aan>use I thought whan class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppening wan class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l.
In fan class="hi2">aan>ct it then seemed rean class="hi2">aan>lly stran class="hi2">aan>nge than class="hi2">aan>t I han class="hi2">aan>d chosen to go into fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, becan class="hi2">aan>use there wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely no can class="hi2">aan>ll for fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd no an class="hi2">aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rent rean class="hi2">aan>son to be an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. If the drean class="hi2">aan>m wan class="hi2">aan>s not rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd there wan class="hi2">aan>sn't even rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n envelope, then there wan class="hi2">aan>s no ban class="hi2">aan>sis for an class="hi2">aan>ny rean class="hi2">aan>ction whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this revean class="hi2">aan>led just how pointless an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>rbitran class="hi2">aan>ry fean class="hi2">aan>r is, like some kind of un-checked an class="hi2">aan>uto-responder, than class="hi2">aan>t just an class="hi2">aan>ctivan class="hi2">aan>tes unconsciously, with little regan class="hi2">aan>rd for whether it's even justified. Like an class="hi2">aan> han class="hi2">aan>bituan class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>ction. an class="hi2">Aan>nd I proban class="hi2">aan>bly han class="hi2">aan>d been doing this an class="hi2">aan>ll my life.
But now here I wan class="hi2">aan>s, feeling san class="hi2">aan>fe an class="hi2">aan>nd light an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ppy an class="hi2">aan>nd bright, becan class="hi2">aan>use I han class="hi2">aan>d remembered for an class="hi2">aan> moment than class="hi2">aan>t "this is just an class="hi2">aan> piece of an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, it's not even rean class="hi2">aan>lly there". I thus opened the envelope an class="hi2">aan>nd inquired an class="hi2">aan>s to its man class="hi2">aan>in messan class="hi2">aan>ge. It wan class="hi2">aan>s, to my plean class="hi2">aan>san class="hi2">aan>nt surprise, an class="hi2">aan> refund check for $150 for "overpan class="hi2">aan>yment". lol
But it is an class="hi2">aan> lesson. It han class="hi2">aan>s shown me an class="hi2">aan>nother fine exan class="hi2">aan>mple of just how this works. This ONE PROBLEM. Forgetting than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re drean class="hi2">aan>ming. Believing it is REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY. Thinking than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t's han class="hi2">aan>ppening is an class="hi2">Aan>CTUan class="hi2">Aan>LLY han class="hi2">aan>ppening.

I know I didn't.
It's an class="hi2">aan>ll whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens when you dip down into fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception an class="hi2">aan>nd bind yourself to the drean class="hi2">aan>m, lose yourself in it, go into the dan class="hi2">aan>rkness of it an class="hi2">aan>nd tan class="hi2">aan>ke it seriously.

"an class="hi2">Aan>tonement hean class="hi2">aan>ls with certan class="hi2">aan>inty, an class="hi2">aan>nd cures an class="hi2">aan>ll sickness.

Sickness where guilt is an class="hi2">aan>bsent can class="hi2">aan>nnot come, for it is but an class="hi2">aan>nother form of guilt. an class="hi2">Aan>tonement does not hean class="hi2">aan>l the sick, for than class="hi2">aan>t is not an class="hi2">aan> cure.

an class="hi2">Aan>ccepting the an class="hi2">aan>tonement gives you an class="hi2">Aan>CCESS to an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind which can class="hi2">aan>n CURE. an class="hi2">Aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind which can class="hi2">aan>n undo an class="hi2">aan>ll sickness. an class="hi2">Aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind which han class="hi2">aan>s the power to perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles, which includes the likes of hean class="hi2">aan>ling those who an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r to be sick, helping your brothers an class="hi2">aan>nd so on.

You made the ego as a device for separation

You man class="hi2">aan>de the ego an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> device for sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ting from God. Symbolican class="hi2">aan>lly, the body is the ego - the hero of the drean class="hi2">aan>m. The ego is an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>chine designed to operan class="hi2">aan>te in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, opposition, an class="hi2">aan>nd delusion, believing than class="hi2">aan>t illusions an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t rean class="hi2">aan>lity is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion. Its perspective is than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t is true is fan class="hi2">aan>lse/evil, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is fan class="hi2">aan>lse is the truth. It is convinced than class="hi2">aan>t dean class="hi2">aan>th is san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion from God, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t sin is rean class="hi2">aan>l.
You who man class="hi2">aan>de this ego rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re not bound by it an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, since it is iman class="hi2">aan>ginan class="hi2">aan>ry an class="hi2">aan>nd doesn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly exist. But you chose to believe than class="hi2">aan>t it is rean class="hi2">aan>l. You gan class="hi2">aan>ve rean class="hi2">aan>lity to it by using it, since it is an class="hi2">aan> device for turning illusions into rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
Your decision to identify with it, wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to an class="hi2">aan>ttran class="hi2">aan>ct yourself an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ch yourself, or cling to, something other than class="hi2">aan>n God, like an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>gnet, which would an class="hi2">aan>llow you to an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to resist the an class="hi2">aan>ttran class="hi2">aan>ction of God.
So you tried to wean class="hi2">aan>r the ego like an class="hi2">aan> piece of clothing, an class="hi2">aan>nd this is pretty literan class="hi2">aan>lly symbolized by the wean class="hi2">aan>ring of the body, which is the symbolic man class="hi2">aan>nifestan class="hi2">aan>tion of the ego - the fan class="hi2">aan>lse self iman class="hi2">aan>ge. It is helpful to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t the body itself is the symbol of the ego, within this drean class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan>lthough this entire drean class="hi2">aan>m is an class="hi2">aan>lso the ego.
Now, in order to try to repel God an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttran class="hi2">aan>ct yourself to something more an class="hi2">aan>ttran class="hi2">aan>ctive than class="hi2">aan>n His Love, your ego device offers you the pretend opportunity to be man class="hi2">aan>gnetized to something else. You hold onto the ego, cling to it, an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ch to it, an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to join with it, an class="hi2">aan>nd try to be one with it. You try to man class="hi2">aan>ke it your identity.
Your very sense of self you try to give to it, you empower it, you an class="hi2">aan>dd rean class="hi2">aan>lity to its illusory nan class="hi2">aan>ture, an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lly you an class="hi2">aan>re trying to bring it to life. It is like an class="hi2">aan> fran class="hi2">aan>nkenstein which is man class="hi2">aan>de of dean class="hi2">aan>th, than class="hi2">aan>t you pretend can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>niman class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>nd tan class="hi2">aan>ke over your self. This is the ego's version of ran class="hi2">aan>ising the dean class="hi2">aan>d!
One of the man class="hi2">aan>jor wan class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>ccomplish this, an class="hi2">aan>nd how this symbolican class="hi2">aan>lly plan class="hi2">aan>ys out in the drean class="hi2">aan>m, is in your identifican class="hi2">aan>tion with the body - the symbol of the ego. The ego is hiding in the body, an class="hi2">aan>s the body, an class="hi2">aan>s its an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to withdran class="hi2">aan>w from God an class="hi2">aan>nd be protected an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the truth. This is why the body is fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> of sickness, which must eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r when it gives wan class="hi2">aan>y to the truth. The body is an class="hi2">aan> defense.
Knowing this, ean class="hi2">aan>ch time than class="hi2">aan>t you identify with the body an class="hi2">aan>nd thus the ego, you do so in order to pull yourself an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from God. You an class="hi2">aan>re trying to rip yourself an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from being identified with God an class="hi2">aan>nd to an class="hi2">aan>nchor yourself into some other identity. You're trying to fuse yourself with the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd body an class="hi2">aan>nd turn yourself into them.
The closer than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>te with the body, an class="hi2">aan>nd the more you push God an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y, the more the body stan class="hi2">aan>rts to exhibit sickness. Sickness is an class="hi2">aan> defense an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst God, an class="hi2">aan>nd it man class="hi2">aan>kes the body more rean class="hi2">aan>l. The more rean class="hi2">aan>lity you give to the body, the more you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ble to become "one" with the ego, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore whan class="hi2">aan>tever han class="hi2">aan>ppens to the body is han class="hi2">aan>ppening to you.
Eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly, an class="hi2">aan> profound "unity" with the ego, an class="hi2">aan>s the body, produces dean class="hi2">aan>th. Dean class="hi2">aan>th simply mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t you've crean class="hi2">aan>ted so much sense of clean class="hi2">aan>r distinction an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between you an class="hi2">aan>nd God, than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve super-man class="hi2">aan>gnetized yourself to the body, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve done everything you can class="hi2">aan>n to cut off the source of Life.
The body then can class="hi2">aan>nnot be long man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>ined when it is stan class="hi2">aan>rved of Life, an class="hi2">aan>nd the perception than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re disan class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted from God man class="hi2">aan>kes you perceive than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve no power an class="hi2">aan>nd no can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity. Whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s no can class="hi2">aan>use can class="hi2">aan>nnot exist, so without an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use you will die.
In an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to overcome this, the journey simply involves giving up the identifican class="hi2">aan>tion with the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd thus the body. But an class="hi2">aan>t first this is going to be difficult. Ean class="hi2">aan>ch time than class="hi2">aan>t you find an class="hi2">aan> willingness to expose yourself to the truth, your an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>tion with the ego is going to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>jor rean class="hi2">aan>ction. Since you've come to see through the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd with the ego, you will interpret the mean class="hi2">aan>ning of the truth an class="hi2">aan>s the ego would interpret it.
Whan class="hi2">aan>tever the truth san class="hi2">aan>ys, the ego perceives to be fan class="hi2">aan>lse, unwan class="hi2">aan>nted, an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, dan class="hi2">aan>ngerous an class="hi2">aan>nd threan class="hi2">aan>tening. Whan class="hi2">aan>tever the truth clan class="hi2">aan>ims is true, the ego can class="hi2">aan>nnot see clean class="hi2">aan>rly or correctly, will rean class="hi2">aan>d into it, an class="hi2">aan>nd will see reflected ban class="hi2">aan>ck to it its own ego nightman class="hi2">aan>re, which will be frightening. So this produces an class="hi2">aan> lot of resistan class="hi2">aan>nce. You will defend the ego, protect its beliefs, side with it, trust it, believe it is telling the truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd go an class="hi2">aan>long with its guidan class="hi2">aan>nce. You will think you're doing this completely san class="hi2">aan>nely an class="hi2">aan>nd in order to not only uphold innocence but an class="hi2">aan>lso to protect your life. You an class="hi2">aan>re trying to preserve your sense of self.
No-one in an class="hi2">aan>ny stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind wan class="hi2">aan>nts their self to rean class="hi2">aan>lly be destroyed. Whether your self is identified with your rean class="hi2">aan>l self, or with the ego self/body, you will protect it an class="hi2">aan>nd defend it. If you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted with ego an class="hi2">aan>nd the ego experiences the truth an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, you will defend your ego, believing than class="hi2">aan>t you're doing exan class="hi2">aan>ctly the right thing. However, when you defend the ego, you an class="hi2">aan>re choosing dean class="hi2">aan>th.
Ean class="hi2">aan>ch time than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ligned with the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd try to protect it, becan class="hi2">aan>use you think than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re protecting whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re - whan class="hi2">aan>t you perceive yourself an class="hi2">aan>s - your self/identity - you protect illusions an class="hi2">aan>nd give rean class="hi2">aan>lity to them. This cuts you off from God/Life, which is an class="hi2">aan> step towan class="hi2">aan>rds dean class="hi2">aan>th. It will produce sickness. So in the nan class="hi2">aan>me of self-preservan class="hi2">aan>tion, you will an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly believe you're preserving your existence while in fan class="hi2">aan>ct you an class="hi2">aan>re destroying yourself.
This is how people choose to die! This is why an class="hi2">aan>ll dean class="hi2">aan>th is an class="hi2">aan> choice an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll dean class="hi2">aan>th is suicide. People don't rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t when they're identified with the ego/body, they keep doing the perfectly nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l thing of defending themselves, but becan class="hi2">aan>use their identity is an class="hi2">aan>ll can class="hi2">aan>ught up in the ego, they inan class="hi2">aan>dvertently defend the ego. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>jor problem. Everyone defends the truth, an class="hi2">aan>s they see it, an class="hi2">aan>nd if the truth is the ego's truth, they will defend it to the dean class="hi2">aan>th, literan class="hi2">aan>lly.
an class="hi2">Aan>lso when you an class="hi2">aan>re exposed to the truth, if you an class="hi2">aan>re holding onto the ego identity/body an class="hi2">aan>nd believe/see yourself an class="hi2">aan>s the body, you will perceive than class="hi2">aan>t the truth is threan class="hi2">aan>tening you. an class="hi2">Aan>nything in an class="hi2">aan>greement with your current beliefs is seen an class="hi2">aan>s truth an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>nything not in an class="hi2">aan>greement is seen an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n unwan class="hi2">aan>nted evil an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck. This is whan class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes it difficult to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to trust God - becan class="hi2">aan>use initian class="hi2">aan>lly God is thought to be evil, an class="hi2">aan> threan class="hi2">aan>t, an class="hi2">aan> dan class="hi2">aan>nger, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to stop you from existing.
This is why you han class="hi2">aan>ve developed in your mind an class="hi2">aan> sense of an class="hi2">aan> "fan class="hi2">aan>lse God" who is evil, out to get you, wan class="hi2">aan>nts you to stop existing, is trying to destroy you an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>nts you dean class="hi2">aan>d. This is your ego's view of God. This is its interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd you've man class="hi2">aan>de it your interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion. This is the God of wran class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd vengean class="hi2">aan>nce an class="hi2">aan>nd revenge. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this pan class="hi2">aan>rt of you, the ego pan class="hi2">aan>rt, rean class="hi2">aan>lly believes than class="hi2">aan>t it is God's will than class="hi2">aan>t you die. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it uses this an class="hi2">aan>s perfectly ran class="hi2">aan>tionan class="hi2">aan>l-seeming justifican class="hi2">aan>tion for why you should die - becan class="hi2">aan>use it's whan class="hi2">aan>t God wan class="hi2">aan>nts for you an class="hi2">aan>nd you think it's inescan class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble. This is the dean class="hi2">aan>th wish.
In order to overcome this "evil God", you need to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t your an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>tion with the ego han class="hi2">aan>s clouded your judgement, han class="hi2">aan>s presented the truth an class="hi2">aan>s something fan class="hi2">aan>lse, han class="hi2">aan>s presented whan class="hi2">aan>t is fan class="hi2">aan>lse an class="hi2">aan>s something true, your whole world is upside down an class="hi2">aan>nd ban class="hi2">aan>ck to front, an class="hi2">aan>nd you need to become willing to rediscover whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth rean class="hi2">aan>lly is.
Than class="hi2">aan>t's not going to seem ean class="hi2">aan>sy or welcome, especian class="hi2">aan>lly to your ego an class="hi2">aan>llian class="hi2">aan>nce, becan class="hi2">aan>use the rean class="hi2">aan>l truth an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>s the complete opposite to whan class="hi2">aan>t the ego believes. It seems to be evil an class="hi2">aan>nd dan class="hi2">aan>ngerous, an class="hi2">aan>nd you will feel tremendous resistan class="hi2">aan>nce to an class="hi2">aan>pproan class="hi2">aan>ching it. You think it wan class="hi2">aan>nts you dean class="hi2">aan>d, an class="hi2">aan>nd nobody in their right mind would wan class="hi2">aan>nt to an class="hi2">aan>pproan class="hi2">aan>ch their most fean class="hi2">aan>red enemy.
However, you need to lean class="hi2">aan>rn than class="hi2">aan>t the God you fean class="hi2">aan>r is not REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY whan class="hi2">aan>t God is like. The God you think will mean class="hi2">aan>n you don't exist, does not REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY prove you don't exist - than class="hi2">aan>t's just whan class="hi2">aan>t the EGO thinks an class="hi2">aan>bout God. God demonstran class="hi2">aan>tes not only than class="hi2">aan>t you exist but than class="hi2">aan>t you exist forever, an class="hi2">aan>re immortan class="hi2">aan>l, eternan class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t God completely supports an class="hi2">aan>nd sustan class="hi2">aan>ins you in every wan class="hi2">aan>y.
This isn't the view of God than class="hi2">aan>t the ego will ever be an class="hi2">aan>ble to see or an class="hi2">aan>ccept, becan class="hi2">aan>use it wan class="hi2">aan>s not designed to do so. It wan class="hi2">aan>s only designed an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> kind of filtran class="hi2">aan>tion device, to block the truth an class="hi2">aan>nd invert it, an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ke illusions seem rean class="hi2">aan>l. Than class="hi2">aan>t's an class="hi2">aan>ll it does an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t's an class="hi2">aan>ll it wan class="hi2">aan>s mean class="hi2">aan>nt to do. Than class="hi2">aan>t's whan class="hi2">aan>t you designed it to be, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t's why the ego can class="hi2">aan>nnot an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken. How can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>n illusion an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken? The ego isn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.
So to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken, you must an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken FROM the ego, in spite of the ego, an class="hi2">aan>nd in order to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t the ego is not rean class="hi2">aan>l. Everything the ego perceives an class="hi2">aan>nd believes in MUST be fan class="hi2">aan>lse an class="hi2">aan>nd unrean class="hi2">aan>l. So you get this choice, to decide who you an class="hi2">aan>re going to side with. God or the ego. There isn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> choice becan class="hi2">aan>use the ego isn't rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd doesn't exist, but it will seem like an class="hi2">aan> choice so long an class="hi2">aan>s you think the ego is who you an class="hi2">aan>re.
Believing you an class="hi2">aan>re the ego goes han class="hi2">aan>nd in han class="hi2">aan>nd with believing you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l body, becan class="hi2">aan>use the body is the symbol of the ego thought system. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s you expose yourself to truth, mis-perceiving it with the ego will threan class="hi2">aan>ten "you", or your sense of self (ego an class="hi2">aan>ligned self), an class="hi2">aan>nd you will wan class="hi2">aan>nt to defend yourself an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst it. Therefore you will resist the truth, resist wan class="hi2">aan>king up, wan class="hi2">aan>nt nothing to do with the Holy Spirit, will not wan class="hi2">aan>nt to entertan class="hi2">aan>in the idean class="hi2">aan> of powerful miran class="hi2">aan>cles, an class="hi2">aan>nd you will fean class="hi2">aan>r the rejection of God. Not just God's rejection but than class="hi2">aan>t, if God is rean class="hi2">aan>l, you (ego) do not exist.
Than class="hi2">aan>t is terrifying to the ego, so if YOU han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted yourself with the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd believe it is you (you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> body), then you will be an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id than class="hi2">aan>t you don't exist. You might han class="hi2">aan>ve noticed when you rean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">Aan>CIM especian class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>t the beginning, than class="hi2">aan>t you feel like it is san class="hi2">aan>ying an class="hi2">aan> truth than class="hi2">aan>t completely ignores you, doesn't even mention you, doesn't an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge you, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>cts an class="hi2">aan>s though you don't even exist.
It can class="hi2">aan>n be man class="hi2">aan>ddening an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ke you genuinely an class="hi2">aan>ngry. This is the ego, becan class="hi2">aan>use the truth DOES ignore the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd does not an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge it an class="hi2">aan>s existing. Becan class="hi2">aan>use it rean class="hi2">aan>lly doesn't. It simply overlooks it entirely an class="hi2">aan>nd demonstran class="hi2">aan>tes than class="hi2">aan>t it is not rean class="hi2">aan>l. So if you an class="hi2">aan>re tied to the ego you will think than class="hi2">aan>t this an class="hi2">aan>pplies to YOU, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t is pretty upsetting.
You might even put up an class="hi2">aan> defense an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the truth becan class="hi2">aan>use you do not wan class="hi2">aan>nt it an class="hi2">aan>nd see it an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n evil enemy, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore implement sickness in your body/mind/emotions to try to protect your identity from the truth. You'll try to man class="hi2">aan>ke the body more rean class="hi2">aan>l than class="hi2">aan>n the truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd give truth to the body.
This will put power into the ego, will distort your view of yourself an class="hi2">aan>s someone little an class="hi2">aan>nd vulneran class="hi2">aan>ble, will shut you off from the Source of Life, an class="hi2">aan>nd will show up in the body/an class="hi2">aan>s the body an class="hi2">aan>s sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd disean class="hi2">aan>se. Eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly if you do not choose to be willing to an class="hi2">aan>ccept the rean class="hi2">aan>l truth an class="hi2">aan>s it is, an class="hi2">aan>nd not the ego's misinterpretan class="hi2">aan>tion of it, this will produce dean class="hi2">aan>th, an class="hi2">aan>nd you will han class="hi2">aan>ve chosen it on purpose becan class="hi2">aan>use you thought you were san class="hi2">aan>ving your life.
So rean class="hi2">aan>lly it's an class="hi2">aan> struggle to wan class="hi2">aan>ke up when you han class="hi2">aan>ve this ego thing than class="hi2">aan>t you man class="hi2">aan>de than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re still pretty fond of, which you side with an class="hi2">aan>nd listen to an class="hi2">aan>nd trust an class="hi2">aan>nd use, becan class="hi2">aan>use it man class="hi2">aan>kes you very defensive an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the truth an class="hi2">aan>nd very suspicious of it. Remember the ego will go from suspiciousness to visciousness, an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>n bet than class="hi2">aan>t with enough exposure to "rean class="hi2">aan>lity" it will turn viscious in an class="hi2">aan>n effort to block it out.
Gran class="hi2">aan>duan class="hi2">aan>lly you will surrender an class="hi2">aan>nd let go, an class="hi2">aan>llow the truth to seep in with little steps of willingness, open yourself up to an class="hi2">aan>ccepting God an class="hi2">aan>s the truth, an class="hi2">aan>llow Holy Spirit into your hean class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>nd mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd come to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t illusions an class="hi2">aan>re not rean class="hi2">aan>l. This will mean class="hi2">aan>n rean class="hi2">aan>lizing the body is not rean class="hi2">aan>l, just an class="hi2">aan>n illusion, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> symbol of the ego in the mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t you do not need it.
Your dependence on it an class="hi2">aan>nd on the ego's lan class="hi2">aan>ws regan class="hi2">aan>rding whan class="hi2">aan>t the body needs must an class="hi2">aan>lso go. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so your mis-identifican class="hi2">aan>tion with the ego will come to an class="hi2">aan>n end. Finan class="hi2">aan>lly you will let go of it, detan class="hi2">aan>ch from it, an class="hi2">aan>nd recognize than class="hi2">aan>t it is nothing an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. It han class="hi2">aan>s no power, it is not rean class="hi2">aan>l, it holds no truth, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot do an class="hi2">aan>nything to you, an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re free of it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ving no further purpose or use for it, it will disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r, an class="hi2">aan>nd it will not be YOU than class="hi2">aan>t is disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ring but just something than class="hi2">aan>t didn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly exist to begin with.
So you can class="hi2">aan>n see this is an class="hi2">aan>ll rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n exercise in identity. Who an class="hi2">aan>re you? You've become an class="hi2">aan>n ego, but it's not who you an class="hi2">aan>re. You cling to it an class="hi2">aan>nd the body like you're trying to turn it into yourself, or yourself into it. You use the body an class="hi2">aan>nd your oneness with it through sickness to reinforce your ego's rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd deny God's. an class="hi2">Aan>ll becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys trying to protect your "self" even if your sense of self is misplan class="hi2">aan>ced.
The desire to defend yourself isn't misplan class="hi2">aan>ced, an class="hi2">aan>lthough the course san class="hi2">aan>ys "If I defend myself I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked", mean class="hi2">aan>ning than class="hi2">aan>t if you defend the EGO, you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked. Defending your enemy will result in an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck. You just don't quite an class="hi2">aan>s yet recognize fully the wan class="hi2">aan>ys in which you an class="hi2">aan>nd the ego an class="hi2">aan>re best buddies, trying to stan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted with it an class="hi2">aan>nd to keep it ONLY becan class="hi2">aan>use you've become convinced than class="hi2">aan>t it is you.
If you were to recognize clean class="hi2">aan>rly than class="hi2">aan>t YOU an class="hi2">aan>re not the ego an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is nothing but an class="hi2">aan>n illusory device, han class="hi2">aan>ving withdran class="hi2">aan>wn an class="hi2">aan>ll belief than class="hi2">aan>t its illusions an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>l (including sin an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd physican class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>tter an class="hi2">aan>nd the body an class="hi2">aan>nd the world), then you wouldn't han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ny rean class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>son to need to defend 'it' an class="hi2">Aan>S you, an class="hi2">aan>nd you'd simply be who you rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re.

You are not a victim, stop pretending to be

If you an class="hi2">aan>re immortan class="hi2">aan>l, nothing can class="hi2">aan>n victimize you.
In order to see yourself an class="hi2">aan>s victimized, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to pretend to be mortan class="hi2">aan>l.
To be mortan class="hi2">aan>l, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck your own immortan class="hi2">aan>lity.

Then you will be lost in projection believing you an class="hi2">aan>re being an class="hi2">aan>ffected by the world an class="hi2">aan>nd the people in it.
But the secret of san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion simply reminds you than class="hi2">aan>t your own an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck thoughts - dean class="hi2">aan>th thoughts - an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking your own invulneran class="hi2">aan>bility.

Here's a simple and effective forgiveness process I did

Here is an class="hi2">aan> simple an class="hi2">aan>nd effective forgiveness process which I did this morning with Holy Spirit.
You stan class="hi2">aan>rt by figuring out where you an class="hi2">aan>re on an class="hi2">aan> spectrum from Life to Dean class="hi2">aan>th. The spectrum han class="hi2">aan>s these stan class="hi2">aan>ges:
Love/Innocence > Sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion > Sin > Guilt > Fean class="hi2">aan>r > Punishment/Suffering > Dean class="hi2">aan>th.
On whan class="hi2">aan>tever issue you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to do forgiveness, or even just an class="hi2">aan> generan class="hi2">aan>l forgiveness, locan class="hi2">aan>te whan class="hi2">aan>t you seem to be *most directly an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re* of right now. For me this wan class="hi2">aan>s "fean class="hi2">aan>r".
Whan class="hi2">aan>tever stan class="hi2">aan>ge you an class="hi2">aan>re most an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of, than class="hi2">aan>ts the stan class="hi2">aan>ge which han class="hi2">aan>s not yet fully "projected" into the next stan class="hi2">aan>ge. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll the stan class="hi2">aan>ges benean class="hi2">aan>th it an class="hi2">aan>re currently unconscious. I wan class="hi2">aan>s experiencing fean class="hi2">aan>r becan class="hi2">aan>use sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion/sin/guilt were unconscious an class="hi2">aan>nd I han class="hi2">aan>dn't yet entered punishment.
Once you've locan class="hi2">aan>ted where your conscious mind is an class="hi2">aan>t, work your wan class="hi2">aan>y ban class="hi2">aan>ckwan class="hi2">aan>rds through the stan class="hi2">aan>ges to undo ean class="hi2">aan>ch lan class="hi2">aan>yer of belief. If you don't need one or more of the ean class="hi2">aan>rlier steps becan class="hi2">aan>use you didn't find yourself in them an class="hi2">aan>t the beginning, you can class="hi2">aan>n skip them. e.g. if you mostly feel guilty, you proban class="hi2">aan>bly don't need to undo fean class="hi2">aan>r.
an class="hi2">Aan>t ean class="hi2">aan>ch lan class="hi2">aan>yer of an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness/belief, there an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> few steps to go through.
1) You believe than class="hi2">aan>t the step is rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd you need to undo this belief. Holy Spirit can class="hi2">aan>n help here. Recognize you believe in "rean class="hi2">aan>l" this (e.g. rean class="hi2">aan>l fean class="hi2">aan>r), an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ffirm than class="hi2">aan>t it is not rean class="hi2">aan>l (e.g. "fean class="hi2">aan>r is not rean class="hi2">aan>l, I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id").
2) You should then stan class="hi2">aan>rt to han class="hi2">aan>ve the insight than class="hi2">aan>t the only rean class="hi2">aan>son you an class="hi2">aan>re experiencing this step is becan class="hi2">aan>use the step you didn't get to yet (unconscious) is Can class="hi2">Aan>USING this step. Sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion deman class="hi2">aan>nds sin. Sin deman class="hi2">aan>nds guilt. Guilt deman class="hi2">aan>nds fean class="hi2">aan>r. Fean class="hi2">aan>r deman class="hi2">aan>nds punishment. Punishment deman class="hi2">aan>nds dean class="hi2">aan>th. Therefore the step isn't there in its "own right", an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n isolan class="hi2">aan>ted 'thing'. It's an class="hi2">aan> projection from an class="hi2">aan>nother level an class="hi2">aan>nd is being generan class="hi2">aan>ted by an class="hi2">aan>nother level. Seeing this helps you to rean class="hi2">aan>lize the current level of belief is not the Can class="hi2">Aan>USE of it. It is an class="hi2">aan>n EFFECT. an class="hi2">Aan>nd since it's not an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use, it is not rean class="hi2">aan>l, so you can class="hi2">aan>n let it go. Undo the belief by an class="hi2">aan>ffirming it is not REan class="hi2">Aan>L. "There is no rean class="hi2">aan>l fean class="hi2">aan>r" "There is no rean class="hi2">aan>l guilt" etc. Fean class="hi2">aan>r does not can class="hi2">aan>use fean class="hi2">aan>r. Guilt does not can class="hi2">aan>use guilt. Sin does not can class="hi2">aan>use sin.
3) Once you can class="hi2">aan>n rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t your current level of an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness/belief (the stan class="hi2">aan>ge you're an class="hi2">aan>t) is coming from an class="hi2">aan> hidden level, an class="hi2">aan>nd you undo the current level by can class="hi2">aan>ncelling the belief an class="hi2">aan>nd the illusion than class="hi2">aan>t it wan class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l in its own right, notice than class="hi2">aan>t if you do not correct the next level, it will REPRODUCE the experience than class="hi2">aan>t you just got done removing! You can class="hi2">aan>n remove fean class="hi2">aan>r, but if you don't remove guilt, it will reproduce fean class="hi2">aan>r. You can class="hi2">aan>n remove guilt, but if you don't remove sin, it will reproduce guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>r. We han class="hi2">aan>ve to work our wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">Aan>LL the wan class="hi2">aan>y to the an class="hi2">Aan>tonement in order to uproot the whole problem.
4) Han class="hi2">aan>ving undone belief than class="hi2">aan>t the current step is rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ffirming you do not believe in it, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ving relean class="hi2">aan>sed it (Holy Spirit can class="hi2">aan>n help), your mind should han class="hi2">aan>ve shifted to being an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of the next step/level. If you undid the belief properly, you will feel "free" of the step you were on, should no longer be experiencing it, an class="hi2">aan>nd will become an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of the experience of the next step. So if you were feeling fean class="hi2">aan>r, you should no longer be feeling fean class="hi2">aan>r, an class="hi2">aan>nd will now be feeling guilty. Guilt will be the man class="hi2">aan>in thing you an class="hi2">aan>re conscious of. Or whan class="hi2">aan>tever comes an class="hi2">aan>s the next level from where you're an class="hi2">aan>t.
5) Continue on through the steps this wan class="hi2">aan>y until you get to the recognition than class="hi2">aan>t sin is not rean class="hi2">aan>l, sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>s not han class="hi2">aan>ppened, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore you an class="hi2">aan>re IN the experience of the an class="hi2">aan>tonement.

The truth should man class="hi2">aan>ke you an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of GOD. God's truth should be in some wan class="hi2">aan>y in your mind, whereby you should now be an class="hi2">aan>ble to an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPT than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re innocent, becan class="hi2">aan>use you do not believe you sinned.

You man class="hi2">aan>y find yourself feeling "I an class="hi2">Aan>M FREE". You man class="hi2">aan>y experience JOY. You should feel RELIEF. Especian class="hi2">aan>lly now than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ffirm "I han class="hi2">aan>ve not sinned, I an class="hi2">aan>m innocent". Your mind is now experiencing the truth an class="hi2">aan>s your priman class="hi2">aan>ry, conscious experience. Forgiveness an class="hi2">aan>ccomplished. an class="hi2">Aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use this han class="hi2">aan>s been an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPTED an class="hi2">aan>nd OWNED, an class="hi2">aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use you've seen through an class="hi2">aan>ll the illusory levels of the ego thought system, you an class="hi2">aan>re now PERMan class="hi2">Aan>NENTLY FREE of whan class="hi2">aan>t you forgan class="hi2">aan>ve.

Your mind is now IN an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of forgiveness. You an class="hi2">aan>re in the Holy Spirit. You an class="hi2">aan>re now the light of the world. You an class="hi2">aan>re the Prodigan class="hi2">aan>l Son, an class="hi2">aan>nd you've come Home!

God and Christ cannot enter a body

The body is an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion device. It wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de to section off an class="hi2">aan>nd fence in an class="hi2">aan> SMan class="hi2">Aan>LL PORTION of mind, which seems then to find itself housed "inside" the body, while the lan class="hi2">aan>rger portion of mind an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to be "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted off" or unconscious, outside the body. The sense of being isolan class="hi2">aan>ted, sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted, limited, pan class="hi2">aan>rtian class="hi2">aan>l, not whole, thus belongs to the "inside the body" experience, which is an class="hi2">aan>n experience of being only Pan class="hi2">Aan>RT of yourself. To return to wholeness you han class="hi2">aan>ve to thus tran class="hi2">aan>nscend the body, eran class="hi2">aan>se the body, han class="hi2">aan>ve no sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion devices in the mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore collan class="hi2">aan>pse the gan class="hi2">aan>p between the outer an class="hi2">aan>nd inner. The body symbolizes the split in the mind an class="hi2">aan>nd once the split is eran class="hi2">aan>sed the body is eran class="hi2">aan>sed.
"God can class="hi2">aan>nnot come into an class="hi2">aan> body, nor can class="hi2">aan>n you join Him there. Limits on love will an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS seem to shut Him out, an class="hi2">aan>nd to keep you an class="hi2">Aan>Pan class="hi2">Aan>RT from Him. The body is an class="hi2">aan> tiny fence an class="hi2">aan>round an class="hi2">aan> little pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">aan> glorious an class="hi2">aan>nd completely limitless idean class="hi2">aan>. It dran class="hi2">aan>ws an class="hi2">aan> circle, infinitely sman class="hi2">aan>ll, an class="hi2">aan>round an class="hi2">aan> very little segment of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, splintered from the whole, proclan class="hi2">aan>iming than class="hi2">aan>t, within it, is YOUR Kingdom, where God can class="hi2">aan>n enter not. Within this kingdom the ego rules, an class="hi2">aan>nd cruelly. an class="hi2">Aan>nd, to defend this little speck of dust, it bids you fight an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the universe."
Since the body itself is an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion device BETWEEN pan class="hi2">aan>rts of mind, designed to keep one pan class="hi2">aan>rt of mind sectioned off from the other pan class="hi2">aan>rt, it can class="hi2">aan>n only seem to EXIST an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll while there is an class="hi2">aan> sense of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. If the mind is split, the split shows up an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> body coming between "you" (within the body) an class="hi2">aan>nd the rest of you (outside the body, in others). The body is thus an class="hi2">aan> symbol of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion in the mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd when the mind does not han class="hi2">aan>ve sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion in it there can class="hi2">aan>nnot be an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.
This is why God can class="hi2">aan>nnot enter an class="hi2">aan> body, becan class="hi2">aan>use than class="hi2">aan>t's like san class="hi2">aan>ying you can class="hi2">aan>n keep an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion device, something which sections off inner an class="hi2">aan>nd outer, an class="hi2">aan>nd keeps them an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt. It's like san class="hi2">aan>ying the whole of God which is everywhere (within an class="hi2">aan>nd without) can class="hi2">aan>n be stuffed inside an class="hi2">aan> contan class="hi2">aan>iner which is less than class="hi2">aan>n everywhere, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll of God can class="hi2">aan>n thus be housed inside an class="hi2">aan> box an class="hi2">aan>nd be an class="hi2">Aan>BSENT from the outside. This is utterly impossible becan class="hi2">aan>use God is unlimited an class="hi2">aan>nd infinite an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll encompan class="hi2">aan>ssing.
Thus God, an class="hi2">aan>ll of God, can class="hi2">aan>nnot enter an class="hi2">aan> body or dwell in an class="hi2">aan> body entirely. Nor can class="hi2">aan>n you, who find yourself to "be in an class="hi2">aan> body" or ran class="hi2">aan>ther, who han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> split mind which shows up an class="hi2">Aan>S an class="hi2">aan> body coming between you an class="hi2">aan>nd the rest of you, join with God fully while man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>ining an class="hi2">aan> body. The body can class="hi2">aan>n only be there IF there is sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion in the mind. If the mind han class="hi2">aan>s NO belief in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion it utterly not only tran class="hi2">aan>nscends the body but ERan class="hi2">Aan>SES the body. There can class="hi2">aan>n be no body an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll without an class="hi2">aan> belief in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. Totan class="hi2">aan>l wholeness wipes the body an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y completely. Mean class="hi2">aan>ning than class="hi2">aan>t to truly be whole you can class="hi2">aan>nnot be inside an class="hi2">aan> body. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you therefore can class="hi2">aan>nnot fully MEET, join, be one with an class="hi2">aan>ll of God, while there is an class="hi2">aan> body present. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to lean class="hi2">aan>ve the rean class="hi2">aan>lm of bodies entirely to be infinite an class="hi2">aan>nd unlimited.
"Forgiveness is an class="hi2">aan>n ean class="hi2">aan>rthly form of love, which an class="hi2">aan>s it is in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven han class="hi2">aan>s no form. Yet whan class="hi2">aan>t is needed here is given here an class="hi2">aan>s it is needed. In this form you can class="hi2">aan>n fulfill your function even here, an class="hi2">aan>lthough ***whan class="hi2">aan>t love will mean class="hi2">aan>n to you when formlessness han class="hi2">aan>s been restored to you is grean class="hi2">aan>ter still.***"
This is similan class="hi2">aan>rly why you can class="hi2">aan>nnot be Christ in an class="hi2">aan> body, IMO. Christ is similan class="hi2">aan>rly unlimited an class="hi2">aan>nd whole an class="hi2">aan>nd infinite. Just an class="hi2">aan>s is your soul. Your soul can class="hi2">aan>nnot enter an class="hi2">aan> body either. "The body neither lives nor dies becan class="hi2">aan>use it can class="hi2">aan>nnot contan class="hi2">aan>in you who an class="hi2">aan>re life." Christ can class="hi2">aan>nnot directly in an class="hi2">aan> first-person wan class="hi2">aan>y be CONFINED in an class="hi2">aan> body or sectioned off an class="hi2">aan>nd found to be isolan class="hi2">aan>ted to one plan class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd not an class="hi2">aan>nother. However, I believe an class="hi2">Aan>CIM is san class="hi2">aan>ying than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n "chan class="hi2">aan>nnel" Christ in an class="hi2">aan> body, to some extent. You can class="hi2">aan>n be close to Christ an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>n extend His love an class="hi2">aan>nd miran class="hi2">aan>cles, but it's like he is working "through you" once removed, not directly.
I don't think Jesus wan class="hi2">aan>s thus "Christ in an class="hi2">aan> body" becan class="hi2">aan>use if Christ could be in an class="hi2">aan> body, fully, with no limitan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, bodies could coexist with Christ an class="hi2">aan>nd be his equan class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd bodies would then han class="hi2">aan>ve to exist in hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>tions. Christ is unlimited, infinite, everywhere, an class="hi2">aan>nd bigger than class="hi2">aan>n the universe. In an class="hi2">Aan>CIM Jesus lets us know than class="hi2">aan>t he "wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>n who remembered his soul" an class="hi2">aan>nd he remembered it in the an class="hi2">aan>tonement an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>scension to hean class="hi2">aan>ven. an class="hi2">Aan>nd prior to than class="hi2">aan>t, he still han class="hi2">aan>d some trian class="hi2">aan>ls an class="hi2">aan>nd lessons, not lean class="hi2">aan>st of which wan class="hi2">aan>s the crucifixion. He BECan class="hi2">Aan>ME identified fully with Christ, but not until getting out of here.
"To roll the stone an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y is to see beyond the tomb, beyond dean class="hi2">aan>th, an class="hi2">aan>nd to understan class="hi2">aan>nd the body’s nothingness.

This essentian class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t in PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>L terms, there is NOTHING you can class="hi2">aan>n do than class="hi2">aan>t doesn't in some wan class="hi2">aan>y, an class="hi2">aan>t the physican class="hi2">aan>l level, symbolise ego, an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, murder an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th.

We then need to an class="hi2">aan>dopt an class="hi2">aan> quite stran class="hi2">aan>nge position, while we're still in this world.

The ego is not really a thing

It's quite common for us to san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t the ego does this an class="hi2">aan>nd it does than class="hi2">aan>t.

It gets to the point where you think of the ego like it is an class="hi2">aan> 'thing' than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s vicious vengean class="hi2">aan>nce in mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd we refer to it in the third person.

We need to be clean class="hi2">aan>r than class="hi2">aan>t the ego is not only an class="hi2">aan>n illusion an class="hi2">aan>nd doesn't exist, but an class="hi2">aan>lso than class="hi2">aan>t YOU an class="hi2">aan>re the one who crean class="hi2">aan>ted it.

But we an class="hi2">aan>re the ones who invented this puff of smoke. We an class="hi2">aan>re the ones who USE it.

It's an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>jor pan class="hi2">aan>rt of our role of pretending to be an class="hi2">aan> victim, to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> sense of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between us an class="hi2">aan>nd other, an class="hi2">aan>nd then becan class="hi2">aan>use of this we section off an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of ourselves an class="hi2">aan>s this 'other' an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>ll it the ego. We pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>rly like to project an class="hi2">aan>ll the negan class="hi2">aan>tive, wrong, ban class="hi2">aan>d stuff onto this ego, but in fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t's just one han class="hi2">aan>lf of the ego. Who is it doing the projecting? It's an class="hi2">aan>lso the ego. It's the ego trying to an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r "good", man class="hi2">aan>king the other pan class="hi2">aan>rt of itself ban class="hi2">aan>d, becan class="hi2">aan>use the ego is an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of inner conflict.
But even then it's not the ego doing this. It's you. You're the one choosing it, empowering it, putting 'life' into it, man class="hi2">aan>king it seem like it han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> will of its own, an class="hi2">aan>nd conveniently trean class="hi2">aan>ting it like it's to blan class="hi2">aan>me for everything than class="hi2">aan>t's gone wrong, including dean class="hi2">aan>th. an class="hi2">Aan> van class="hi2">aan>st man class="hi2">aan>jority of the writing I've seen an class="hi2">aan>bout the ego fran class="hi2">aan>mes it like it's an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te thing. It is not an class="hi2">Aan>NYTHING, yet an class="hi2">aan>lone sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te.
It is you who invented dean class="hi2">aan>th. The ego didn't. You merely use whan class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>ll ego - an class="hi2">aan> collection of illusions an class="hi2">aan>nd deceptions - to try to pretend than class="hi2">aan>t dean class="hi2">aan>th can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ppen an class="hi2">aan>nd to an class="hi2">aan>ct it out. an class="hi2">Aan>ll the while we pretend than class="hi2">aan>t we're not the one choosing this, an class="hi2">aan>nd just an class="hi2">aan>s we man class="hi2">aan>ke God an class="hi2">aan> skan class="hi2">aan>pegoan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>lso man class="hi2">aan>ke the ego the skan class="hi2">aan>pegoan class="hi2">aan>t like it did this to us. No it didn't.

It's an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>bout you doing it to yourself.
"Ego" is nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>bel for an class="hi2">aan>ll the wan class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t you deliberan class="hi2">aan>tely an class="hi2">aan>nd intentionan class="hi2">aan>lly plan class="hi2">aan>y with illusions.

Heaven is like a networked computer system

This filesystem of an class="hi2">aan> computer on an class="hi2">aan>n open network is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> very good an class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>logy for the structure of hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>nd the relan class="hi2">aan>tionship of individuan class="hi2">aan>ls.
Let's san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t there is an class="hi2">aan> file system contan class="hi2">aan>ining an class="hi2">aan>ll this content.
Let's then san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve your own computer (your soul) which is networked into the file system (vian class="hi2">aan> the christ mind which connects the souls).
Let's san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t becan class="hi2">aan>use the system is "open", other souls an class="hi2">aan>lso can class="hi2">aan>n hook themselves up to the file system (vian class="hi2">aan> the christ mind).
an class="hi2">Aan>nd let's an class="hi2">aan>lso san class="hi2">aan>y the system is so open than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nyone who connects themselves to the file system an class="hi2">aan>lso becomes "pan class="hi2">aan>rt of" the system, an class="hi2">aan>nd their system is open, an class="hi2">aan>nd so it an class="hi2">aan>llows an class="hi2">aan>ccess to their own computer by the man class="hi2">aan>in filesystem an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lso by an class="hi2">aan>ll the other computers (souls).
In this open environment (hean class="hi2">aan>ven/sonship), I can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccess an class="hi2">aan> file, san class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan> pdf file, on the file system, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve full an class="hi2">aan>ccess to it. I can class="hi2">aan>n rean class="hi2">aan>d the whole file. Simultan class="hi2">aan>neously, you an class="hi2">aan>nd other souls can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccess the san class="hi2">aan>me pdf file, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve full an class="hi2">aan>ccess to it, an class="hi2">aan>nd shan class="hi2">aan>re it, an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time, an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>d the whole thing without limits.
Similan class="hi2">aan>rly I can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccess YOU, the file on your own computer (soul), an class="hi2">aan>nd fully an class="hi2">aan>ccess everything an class="hi2">aan>bout you an class="hi2">aan>nd shan class="hi2">aan>re "whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re", including an class="hi2">aan>ny "crean class="hi2">aan>tions" which you might han class="hi2">aan>ve stored "inside" your own computer (within your being).
an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s such in this open stan class="hi2">aan>te, the entirety of crean class="hi2">aan>tion is an class="hi2">aan>ccessible to everyone simultan class="hi2">aan>neously, fully, an class="hi2">aan>nd without restrictions. Everything is shan class="hi2">aan>red. No-one is denied an class="hi2">aan>ccess. Everyone can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccess everything fully, even if others an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ccessing the san class="hi2">aan>me content, an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time. Our an class="hi2">aan>ccess overlan class="hi2">aan>ps.
NOW.
Consider the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion idean class="hi2">aan>, or the ego. Whan class="hi2">aan>t would han class="hi2">aan>ppen if you suddenly becan class="hi2">aan>me selfish, an class="hi2">aan>nd decided than class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nted an class="hi2">aan>ccess to one of the files on the file system, to han class="hi2">aan>ve the san class="hi2">aan>me full an class="hi2">aan>ccess you han class="hi2">aan>d before, BUT... with an class="hi2">aan> condition.
The condition is, than class="hi2">aan>t no-one else is an class="hi2">aan>llowed to an class="hi2">aan>ccess it an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time an class="hi2">aan>s you. You wan class="hi2">aan>nt exclusive rights. You wan class="hi2">aan>nt ownership. You wan class="hi2">aan>nt the content to be isolan class="hi2">aan>ted. You wan class="hi2">aan>nt to keep others an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from the content an class="hi2">aan>nd not shan class="hi2">aan>re it with them. an class="hi2">Aan>nd to do this you han class="hi2">aan>ve to put an class="hi2">aan> "wan class="hi2">aan>ll" of some kind an class="hi2">aan>round the little piece of content to an class="hi2">aan>) keep you inside of it where you can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccess the content, an class="hi2">aan>nd b) keep others outside of it so they can class="hi2">aan>n't an class="hi2">aan>ccess it.
Now, let's san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n you doing this with an class="hi2">aan> file on the man class="hi2">aan>in filesystem, you instean class="hi2">aan>d try to do this with your own computer (soul). Let's san class="hi2">aan>y you try to man class="hi2">aan>ke it so than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ccess to your self, but other souls don't. Than class="hi2">aan>t the man class="hi2">aan>in file system is an class="hi2">aan>lso deprived an class="hi2">aan>ccess from your computer, an class="hi2">aan>nd no-one is an class="hi2">aan>llowed to shan class="hi2">aan>re whan class="hi2">aan>t's on your computer. You wan class="hi2">aan>nt an class="hi2">aan> "privan class="hi2">aan>te" system.
So you put up an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>round your computer (the body, an class="hi2">aan>round the mind) to try to keep you in an class="hi2">aan>nd others out, so than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ve exclusive rights an class="hi2">aan>nd possession of whan class="hi2">aan>t is "inside" you an class="hi2">aan>nd reject whan class="hi2">aan>t now seems to be "outside you" (the rest of the network/sonship). You're now being selfish. You've put yourself into lockdown. You han class="hi2">aan>ve shut yourself off from SHan class="hi2">Aan>RING with the whole, from the network, an class="hi2">aan>nd from the man class="hi2">aan>in filesystem, an class="hi2">aan>nd so an class="hi2">aan>ll you an class="hi2">aan>re left with is whan class="hi2">aan>t's inside your own system.
In this stan class="hi2">aan>te now, you an class="hi2">aan>re still ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly the soul, the self, which you were before this han class="hi2">aan>ppened. In this an class="hi2">aan>ct, you did not an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly invent an class="hi2">aan> self. You an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy were an class="hi2">aan> self, when you were shan class="hi2">aan>ring the filesystem, an class="hi2">aan>s God intended. Openly. But now than class="hi2">aan>t you put an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>round yourself, this man class="hi2">aan>kes "your self" become "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te". It's like you unplugged your computer from the network so than class="hi2">aan>t no-one else could shan class="hi2">aan>re whan class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve.
So this produces "an class="hi2">aan> self which han class="hi2">aan>s BECOME sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te", which previously wan class="hi2">aan>s not sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te. This is whan class="hi2">aan>t "the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te self" mean class="hi2">aan>ns. THIS *SELFISHNESS* is the EGO. Not the idean class="hi2">aan> of an class="hi2">aan> self or soul.... the idean class="hi2">aan> of an class="hi2">aan> self or soul than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s become tran class="hi2">aan>pped in isolan class="hi2">aan>tion due to the wan class="hi2">aan>lls its put up, the blocks to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, which han class="hi2">aan>ve disconnected an class="hi2">aan>nd disan class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted itself from shan class="hi2">aan>ring with the whole networked system. So now you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> perfect being surrounded by limitan class="hi2">aan>tion. The limitan class="hi2">aan>tion needs to be removed, not your SELF.
In fan class="hi2">aan>ct, in order to "wan class="hi2">aan>ke up" from the stan class="hi2">aan>te, you need to plug your self ban class="hi2">aan>ck into the network (sonship) an class="hi2">aan>nd re-join with the whole system (hean class="hi2">aan>ven), by plugging your computer (soul) ban class="hi2">aan>ck into the network vian class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>ble (christ mind) so than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n shan class="hi2">aan>re the whole system an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this an class="hi2">aan>lso mean class="hi2">aan>ns the whole system now han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ccess to YOU an class="hi2">aan>s well, becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the content. Literan class="hi2">aan>lly this mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the sonship, an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of crean class="hi2">aan>tion, which wan class="hi2">aan>s orphan class="hi2">aan>ned, is now returning to the whole, so than class="hi2">aan>t the whole can class="hi2">aan>n now SHan class="hi2">Aan>RE IT an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccess it an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore benefit from an class="hi2">aan>nd enjoy it (you) just an class="hi2">aan>s much an class="hi2">aan>s you enjoy others.
So you see just like with computers, which host NON-PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>L content, Hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>lso hosts non-physican class="hi2">aan>l content. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in than class="hi2">aan>t kind of system it's possible for us to SHan class="hi2">Aan>RE an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve simultan class="hi2">aan>neous an class="hi2">aan>ccess with everyone else, without an class="hi2">aan>nyone being limited or restricted or shut out in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y. This is the nan class="hi2">aan>ture of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, God's crean class="hi2">aan>tion. It's an class="hi2">aan>ll ban class="hi2">aan>sed on openness an class="hi2">aan>nd shan class="hi2">aan>ring by man class="hi2">aan>ny individuan class="hi2">aan>l souls who an class="hi2">Aan>LL han class="hi2">aan>ve FULL an class="hi2">aan>ccess to the WHOLE of everything an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>t once.
Your soul han class="hi2">aan>s full an class="hi2">aan>ccess to everything, an class="hi2">aan>nd to the ego than class="hi2">aan>t would mean class="hi2">aan>n "there is nothing left" for an class="hi2">aan>nyone else. But to God, your full an class="hi2">aan>ccess mean class="hi2">aan>ns everyone else an class="hi2">Aan>LSO can class="hi2">aan>n shan class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve everything. Just not exclusively. There is no exclusivity, isolan class="hi2">aan>tion, SPECIan class="hi2">Aan>LNESS or selfishness in hean class="hi2">aan>ven. It's an class="hi2">aan> totan class="hi2">aan>lly 100% open shan class="hi2">aan>red system of freedom.
an class="hi2">Aan>CIM: "The ego is the idean class="hi2">aan> of selfishness. The soul is the idean class="hi2">aan> of self fullness."

Paralogical reasoning in A Course in Miracles

When we try to man class="hi2">aan>ke sense of things, we use logican class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>soning. You do this an class="hi2">aan>ll the time even if you don't rean class="hi2">aan>lize it. You tan class="hi2">aan>ke whan class="hi2">aan>t you "know is true" an class="hi2">aan>nd build an class="hi2">aan> conclusion from it.
Everyone tries to man class="hi2">aan>ke sense of things. Whan class="hi2">aan>tever seems to man class="hi2">aan>ke sense, you an class="hi2">aan>ccept an class="hi2">aan>s true. When something doesn't man class="hi2">aan>ke sense, you feel confused or regan class="hi2">aan>rd it an class="hi2">aan>s fan class="hi2">aan>lse. This an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns you an class="hi2">aan>re HEan class="hi2">Aan>VILY dependent on whan class="hi2">aan>tever the logican class="hi2">aan>l process produces an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result, an class="hi2">aan>nd usuan class="hi2">aan>lly don't question the process itself.
Everyone han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> sense of whan class="hi2">aan>t is true an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is fan class="hi2">aan>lse. Whan class="hi2">aan>t is true for you is the result of your rean class="hi2">aan>soning. Your rean class="hi2">aan>soning might be very an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te, or it could be very confused, but either wan class="hi2">aan>y you end up with an class="hi2">aan> conclusion.
The man class="hi2">aan>in wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t people rean class="hi2">aan>son is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on an class="hi2">aan> simple SEPan class="hi2">Aan>Ran class="hi2">Aan>TION Ban class="hi2">Aan>SED method. It's ban class="hi2">aan>sed in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion becan class="hi2">aan>use it defines whether or not something IS OR IS NOT something. an class="hi2">Aan> similan class="hi2">aan>r wan class="hi2">aan>y we do this is trying to determine than class="hi2">aan>t something is EITHER THIS OR THan class="hi2">Aan>T. But with the clan class="hi2">aan>use than class="hi2">aan>t "it can class="hi2">aan>nnot be both". ie ... it's an class="hi2">aan> model of NOT BOTH. SO it is "exclusive" an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>Gan class="hi2">Aan>INST equan class="hi2">aan>lity.
Becan class="hi2">aan>use the physican class="hi2">aan>l world itself, span class="hi2">aan>cetime, is built from the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion idean class="hi2">aan>, physican class="hi2">aan>l objects an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r to be "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te" from ean class="hi2">aan>ch other. an class="hi2">Aan>nd being NOT equan class="hi2">aan>l, they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll DIFFERENT. This an class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>ngement of "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd different" objects lends itself very well to this kind of "either/or" rean class="hi2">aan>soning.
So you can class="hi2">aan>n use this logic to san class="hi2">aan>y, my can class="hi2">aan>r is either in the gan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ge or pan class="hi2">aan>rked up front. Or, I will han class="hi2">aan>ve the han class="hi2">aan>m san class="hi2">aan>ndwich not the turkey san class="hi2">aan>ndwich. Or, my body is man class="hi2">aan>le not feman class="hi2">aan>le. Or, this is my house not yours.
This kind of thinking man class="hi2">aan>ps exan class="hi2">aan>ctly an class="hi2">aan>nd very well to the an class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>ngement of the physican class="hi2">aan>l world, becan class="hi2">aan>use the physican class="hi2">aan>l world wan class="hi2">aan>s Man class="hi2">Aan>DE in an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. It han class="hi2">aan>s sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion infused into it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so Object an class="hi2">Aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd Object B seem to be sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te options. Either an class="hi2">Aan>, or B.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t this world, an class="hi2">aan>nd this kind of rean class="hi2">aan>soning, is EXTREMELY poor an class="hi2">aan>t, is dean class="hi2">aan>ling with man class="hi2">aan>tters of SHan class="hi2">Aan>RING. It han class="hi2">aan>s no wan class="hi2">aan>y to dean class="hi2">aan>l with the notion than class="hi2">aan>t something an class="hi2">aan>pplies to BOTH, or to an class="hi2">Aan> an class="hi2">Aan>ND B an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time. It works very well when things an class="hi2">aan>re kept in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te boxes, sectioned off. But it han class="hi2">aan>s no wan class="hi2">aan>y to dean class="hi2">aan>l with the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t something is in two plan class="hi2">aan>ces an class="hi2">aan>t once, or than class="hi2">aan>t the truth an class="hi2">aan>pplies equan class="hi2">aan>lly to two things, or than class="hi2">aan>t two things an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lso one thing.
So in this world we can class="hi2">aan>n't usuan class="hi2">aan>lly san class="hi2">aan>y, I an class="hi2">aan>m sitting in my can class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">Aan>ND I'm sitting in my house. Or than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan> human class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> fish. Or than class="hi2">aan>t both me an class="hi2">aan>nd my wife ean class="hi2">aan>ch get 100% of the pizzan class="hi2">aan>. These kind of idean class="hi2">aan>s seem like nonsense or "not possible". We'd san class="hi2">aan>y, they an class="hi2">aan>re fan class="hi2">aan>lse.
The thing is, while THIS world is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion logic, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> THOUGHT SYSTEM founded on the idean class="hi2">aan> of things being completely sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te, God's rean class="hi2">aan>lity is TOTan class="hi2">Aan>LLY UNLIKE this.
God doesn't think in terms of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. He doesn't think in terms of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te boxes.

However, this kind of equan class="hi2">aan>lity, with an class="hi2">aan> single truth an class="hi2">aan>pplying to an class="hi2">aan>ll things, where the truth is SHan class="hi2">Aan>RED, an class="hi2">aan>nd where BOTH elements an class="hi2">aan>re "an class="hi2">aan>s one", can class="hi2">aan>nnot be han class="hi2">aan>ndled by the either/or logican class="hi2">aan>l process. In truth, for exan class="hi2">aan>mple, an class="hi2">aan>ny thought of God contan class="hi2">aan>ins an class="hi2">aan>ll the thoughts of God. an class="hi2">Aan>ny son of God is an class="hi2">aan>ll the sons of God. This DOES NOT COMPUTE to the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion-ban class="hi2">aan>sed rean class="hi2">aan>soning.
The ego, using sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion thinking, would san class="hi2">aan>y, an class="hi2">aan> son of God Han class="hi2">Aan>S TO BE EITHER, here, or there. He han class="hi2">aan>s to be in this box, or than class="hi2">aan>t box. He can class="hi2">aan>nnot be in both. God would san class="hi2">aan>y, than class="hi2">aan>t is totan class="hi2">aan>lly untrue, than class="hi2">aan>t one son of God shan class="hi2">aan>res an class="hi2">aan>ll of himself with an class="hi2">aan>nother son of God, an class="hi2">aan>nd BOTH of them an class="hi2">aan>re in BOTH boxes an class="hi2">aan>t the san class="hi2">aan>me time. Than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re LITERan class="hi2">Aan>LLY IN your brother, one with Him, an class="hi2">aan>s though he is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of you. This is an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely sensible, ran class="hi2">aan>tionan class="hi2">aan>l, logican class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd perfectly impeccan class="hi2">aan>ble ban class="hi2">aan>sed on HOW GOD THINKS.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t you'll find is than class="hi2">aan>t, an class="hi2">aan>nything to do with God, his crean class="hi2">aan>tion, his mind, hean class="hi2">aan>ven, rean class="hi2">aan>lity, the sonship, sons/souls, holy spirit etc, an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely an class="hi2">aan>nything than class="hi2">aan>t existed before the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd without ego. .. is governed NOT by lan class="hi2">aan>ws of "either this or than class="hi2">aan>t", but by lan class="hi2">aan>ws of "both an class="hi2">aan>nd". Lan class="hi2">aan>ws of equan class="hi2">aan>lity. Lan class="hi2">aan>ws of identican class="hi2">aan>lity. Lan class="hi2">aan>ws of oneness, which TRan class="hi2">Aan>NSCEND BOUDan class="hi2">Aan>RIES.
Therefore, whenever you think of an class="hi2">aan>ny of these TOPICS, an class="hi2">aan>nd you stan class="hi2">aan>rt trying to dran class="hi2">aan>w conclusions an class="hi2">aan>bout these topics, IF you use either/or sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion ban class="hi2">aan>sed logic to do so, you WILL come to COMPLETELY Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE conclusions, but these conclusions will seem to man class="hi2">aan>ke sense. They seem to han class="hi2">aan>ve consistency, but they an class="hi2">aan>re ban class="hi2">aan>sed on an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse premise (sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion), an class="hi2">aan>nd so an class="hi2">aan>re not sound or van class="hi2">aan>lid.
For exan class="hi2">aan>mple, God han class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan> sonship which comprises man class="hi2">aan>ny sons. But it is an class="hi2">aan>lso true than class="hi2">aan>t ean class="hi2">aan>ch of these sons IS the other sons. For exan class="hi2">aan>mple "one brother is an class="hi2">aan>ll brothers. one mind is an class="hi2">aan>ll minds". an class="hi2">Aan> son isn't just an class="hi2">aan> "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te son", it's an class="hi2">aan> son who IS an class="hi2">Aan>LSO the other sons. an class="hi2">Aan>nd there an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>ny sons who an class="hi2">aan>re ean class="hi2">aan>ch other an class="hi2">aan>s well. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is not in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan> contran class="hi2">aan>diction nor is it an class="hi2">aan>nything to do with sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion in the ego sense.
But if you use EITHER/OR ban class="hi2">aan>sed rean class="hi2">aan>soning, an class="hi2">aan>nd you look an class="hi2">aan>t hean class="hi2">aan>ven, you'll tell yourself, EITHER .... an class="hi2">aan>) God han class="hi2">aan>s one son or b) God han class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>ny sons. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you'll tell yourself than class="hi2">aan>t it would not Man class="hi2">Aan>KE SENSE unless it were ONE OR THE OTHER. Than class="hi2">aan>t the an class="hi2">aan>nswer must be "not both". But "not both" is an class="hi2">aan> TOTan class="hi2">Aan>L DENIan class="hi2">Aan>L of the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t everything in hean class="hi2">aan>ven IS BOTH. It's an class="hi2">aan> system founded on "both", on "an class="hi2">aan>nd", on "shan class="hi2">aan>ring an class="hi2">aan>nd inclusion."
The ego's wan class="hi2">aan>y of thinking is EXCLUSION Ban class="hi2">Aan>SED. One object is excluded from an class="hi2">aan>nother object. One boxes content is exclusive to than class="hi2">aan>t box an class="hi2">aan>nd not the other box. This is how 99% of the world populan class="hi2">aan>tion thinks an class="hi2">aan>bout EVERYTHING.
God's wan class="hi2">aan>y of thinking is INCLUSION Ban class="hi2">Aan>SED. One object is an class="hi2">aan>lso in an class="hi2">aan>nother object. One object is in multiple locan class="hi2">aan>tions. One object IS the other object. Two boxes contan class="hi2">aan>in one object. This is INCLUSIVE rean class="hi2">aan>soning. This is how God thinks, an class="hi2">aan>nd how his entire thought system functions. Becan class="hi2">aan>use God is not BOUND by the LIMITan class="hi2">Aan>TIONS of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion or an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion ban class="hi2">aan>sed system. God DEFIES sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion.
So when you think "exclusively" an class="hi2">aan>bout God's rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd crean class="hi2">aan>tion, you an class="hi2">aan>re Man class="hi2">Aan>KING an class="hi2">Aan>N ERROR. Becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re using an class="hi2">aan> logic system NOT designed to an class="hi2">aan>ccommodan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan> system than class="hi2">aan>t overflows boundan class="hi2">aan>ries. So you an class="hi2">aan>re trying to FORCE boundan class="hi2">aan>ries onto than class="hi2">aan>t system, an class="hi2">aan>re trying to FORCE things into sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te boxes than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re not restricted to, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to PROJECT SEPan class="hi2">Aan>Ran class="hi2">Aan>TION onto hean class="hi2">aan>ven.
It is quite funny but an class="hi2">aan>lmost everyone does this with regan class="hi2">aan>rds to course topics. In other words, using an class="hi2">aan>n ego-ban class="hi2">aan>sed logic process to think an class="hi2">aan>bout NON-ego topics, IN an class="hi2">aan>n ego wan class="hi2">aan>y. The result is Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE conclusions, which man class="hi2">aan>squeran class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>s "man class="hi2">aan>king totan class="hi2">aan>l sense." But in truth, whan class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes sense to the ego, is totan class="hi2">aan>lly nonsense, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes sense to God, is totan class="hi2">aan>lly nonsense to the ego. Becan class="hi2">aan>use the ego is insan class="hi2">aan>ne.
Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion-ban class="hi2">aan>sed rean class="hi2">aan>soning IS INSan class="hi2">Aan>NITY. an class="hi2">Aan>nd trying to shove God's crean class="hi2">aan>tions into finite boxes IS ISan class="hi2">Aan>NITY. an class="hi2">Aan>nd trying to clan class="hi2">aan>im than class="hi2">aan>t God Han class="hi2">Aan>S to han class="hi2">aan>ve only one son in one box IS INSan class="hi2">Aan>NITY. an class="hi2">Aan>nd clan class="hi2">aan>iming than class="hi2">aan>t God can class="hi2">aan>n't han class="hi2">aan>ve ONE son an class="hi2">Aan>ND man class="hi2">aan>ny sons an class="hi2">Aan>T THE San class="hi2">Aan>ME TIME, which is "perfectly legan class="hi2">aan>l" in God's system, is INSan class="hi2">Aan>NITY.
The problem isn't so much than class="hi2">aan>t people an class="hi2">aan>re dran class="hi2">aan>wing fan class="hi2">aan>lse conclusions, it's more than class="hi2">aan>t people DO NOT rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re USING an class="hi2">aan>n ego-an class="hi2">aan>ffirming thought process to FILTER an class="hi2">aan>nd JUDGE an class="hi2">aan> NON-egoic system. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so they SEE sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tions where they don't exist, an class="hi2">Aan>ND they OVERLOOK sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tions where they DO exist an class="hi2">aan>s well. Such an class="hi2">aan>s here:
"God, who encompan class="hi2">aan>sses an class="hi2">Aan>LL Being, nevertheless ***crean class="hi2">aan>ted sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te beings who han class="hi2">aan>ve everything individuan class="hi2">aan>lly***, but who wan class="hi2">aan>nt to shan class="hi2">aan>re it to increan class="hi2">aan>se their joy."
It would seem "logican class="hi2">aan>l" to most to san class="hi2">aan>y God EITHER han class="hi2">aan>s to han class="hi2">aan>ve one son OR man class="hi2">aan>ny sons, an class="hi2">aan>nd it can class="hi2">aan>n't be both. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it seems logican class="hi2">aan>l to san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t IF God only han class="hi2">aan>s one son HE Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT han class="hi2">aan>ve man class="hi2">aan>ny sons. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it seems logican class="hi2">aan>l to san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t therefore those sons must be pan class="hi2">aan>rt of "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion" becan class="hi2">aan>use "the an class="hi2">aan>bsence of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tions" is more spirituan class="hi2">aan>l. BUT an class="hi2">Aan>LL OF THIS IS an class="hi2">Aan> Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE CONCLUSION, projected onto an class="hi2">aan> divine system of logic, BY an class="hi2">aan> Ban class="hi2">Aan>CKWan class="hi2">Aan>RDS system of logic ban class="hi2">aan>sed on sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd exclusion.
We just don't rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t we do this. We do this an class="hi2">aan>ll the time. Like literan class="hi2">aan>lly EVERY conversan class="hi2">aan>tion in this forum an class="hi2">aan>bout the course uses sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion-ban class="hi2">aan>sed rean class="hi2">aan>soning.

It is TOTan class="hi2">Aan>LLY not how God thinks an class="hi2">aan>nd it is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly extremely unnan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l. It is whan class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>ds to fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception in fan class="hi2">aan>ct.
If your whole mindset an class="hi2">aan>nd thought process is an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys proceeding an class="hi2">aan>long the lines of "this or than class="hi2">aan>t" "either or" ..... you an class="hi2">aan>re literan class="hi2">aan>lly enforcing sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. You an class="hi2">aan>re being EXCLUSIVE, which mean class="hi2">aan>ns you an class="hi2">aan>re EXCLUDING others. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is precisely whan class="hi2">aan>t sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion mean class="hi2">aan>ns - exclusion from the whole, exclusion from relan class="hi2">aan>tionship, exclusion from communican class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd shan class="hi2">aan>ring.
If you THINK this wan class="hi2">aan>y, an class="hi2">aan>bout everything, an class="hi2">aan>ll the time, you an class="hi2">aan>re thinking WITH the ego, even if you think you an class="hi2">aan>re being spirituan class="hi2">aan>l or thinking an class="hi2">aan>bout spirit. This forces you into BODY identifican class="hi2">aan>tion becan class="hi2">aan>use the body symbolizes an class="hi2">aan> SEPan class="hi2">Aan>Ran class="hi2">Aan>TE BOX, kept an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>nd exclusive from the other boxes. Exclusive rean class="hi2">aan>soning an class="hi2">aan>nchors you into span class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd time an class="hi2">aan>nd bodies. It is an class="hi2">aan> thought system of dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd isolan class="hi2">aan>tion. This is NOT how God thinks an class="hi2">aan>nd it is NOT how his thought system operan class="hi2">aan>tes.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>nyone wan class="hi2">aan>nting to do the course will need to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to gran class="hi2">aan>sp pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>logican class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>soning. Otherwise you can class="hi2">aan>n't possibly comprehend how your brother is yourself, or how you can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> holy relan class="hi2">aan>tionship, or how you can class="hi2">aan>n be one with something without losing your identity.
Oneness with others is an class="hi2">aan>n INCLUSIVE idean class="hi2">aan>, not an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> of exclusion, an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>n't USE exclusive thinking to understan class="hi2">aan>nd it. But you Can class="hi2">Aan>N use inclusive logic, which is hologran class="hi2">aan>phic an class="hi2">aan>s well. Becan class="hi2">aan>use God thinks hologran class="hi2">aan>phican class="hi2">aan>lly not linean class="hi2">aan>rly. We han class="hi2">aan>ve to INCLUDE if we wan class="hi2">aan>nt to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken, not shove God's crean class="hi2">aan>tion into prison cells with only room for "one".
"The recognition of the pan class="hi2">aan>rt an class="hi2">aan>s whole, an class="hi2">aan>nd of the whole in every pan class="hi2">aan>rt, is perfectly nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l.

It is not JUST true than class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s one Son.

They can class="hi2">aan>use you to chan class="hi2">aan>nge an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your will, an class="hi2">aan>nd so your "emotions" or "effects" go on an class="hi2">aan> rollercoan class="hi2">aan>ster ride or constan class="hi2">aan>nt shifts, seemingly chosen BY the world an class="hi2">aan>nd enforced upon you.
But if you'll look you'll notice than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll ego emotions han class="hi2">aan>ve this ban class="hi2">aan>ckwan class="hi2">aan>rds can class="hi2">aan>use-effect quan class="hi2">aan>lity to them. They an class="hi2">aan>ll seem like they an class="hi2">aan>re telling YOU whan class="hi2">aan>t you feel. They seem like they an class="hi2">aan>re han class="hi2">aan>ppening to you. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the ban class="hi2">aan>sis for these feelings an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys seems to be something you believe is han class="hi2">aan>ppening to you outside of you.
How can class="hi2">aan>n it be than class="hi2">aan>t if you an class="hi2">aan>re the can class="hi2">aan>use of everything you experience, per the secret of san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion, than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>t the effect of emotions? How can class="hi2">aan>n it even be than class="hi2">aan>t you even Han class="hi2">Aan>VE emotions than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ve this an class="hi2">aan>ffected quan class="hi2">aan>lity to them? Emotions of fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt, emotions of grief an class="hi2">aan>nd loss, emotions of suffering?
If you an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>use, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re owning up to being the can class="hi2">aan>use, then you must rean class="hi2">aan>lize your emotions an class="hi2">aan>re coming from you. You an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>using them. Not the world, not the circumstan class="hi2">aan>nces, not other people or the body. You must be choosing them. You must han class="hi2">aan>ve man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan> wrong decision if your emotion is not pean class="hi2">aan>ce.
Surely you han class="hi2">aan>ve the an class="hi2">aan>bility to choose whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re going to feel? Or an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st, you han class="hi2">aan>ve the an class="hi2">aan>bility to choose whether to produce upset feelings or not. You can class="hi2">aan>n choose whether you feel guilty. You can class="hi2">aan>n choose whether to feel grief. You can class="hi2">aan>n choose whether to feel unhan class="hi2">aan>ppy for an class="hi2">aan>ny rean class="hi2">aan>son. It is an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys you than class="hi2">aan>t chooses whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re experiencing.
So this then mean class="hi2">aan>ns we han class="hi2">aan>ve to get behind the feelings an class="hi2">aan>nd stop regan class="hi2">aan>rding them an class="hi2">aan>s just "han class="hi2">aan>ppening to us". an class="hi2">Aan>nd stop interan class="hi2">aan>cting with them an class="hi2">aan>s if they an class="hi2">aan>re telling US how we feel. We need to stop listening to them an class="hi2">aan>s if looking to them to guide us an class="hi2">aan>nd inform us of whan class="hi2">aan>t stan class="hi2">aan>te we're in. WE PUT THEM THERE. We shouldn't be an class="hi2">aan>sking something WE PUT THERE to tell us how we feel, an class="hi2">aan>s if they know an class="hi2">aan>nd we don't.
an class="hi2">Aan>ll ego emotions an class="hi2">aan>re "effects" which your mind puts in plan class="hi2">aan>ce, under the belief than class="hi2">aan>t the world puts them in plan class="hi2">aan>ce. If you believe the world han class="hi2">aan>s power over you then you will produce emotions, effects, symptoms, rean class="hi2">aan>ctions, which an class="hi2">aan>ll seem to try to TELL YOU whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>nd how you feel an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t you must experience. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to stop listening to them. But even more you han class="hi2">aan>ve to stop crean class="hi2">aan>ting them.
This an class="hi2">aan>ll goes ban class="hi2">aan>ck to the mind. It goes ban class="hi2">aan>ck to thought. If you look an class="hi2">aan>t thought you will notice than class="hi2">aan>t it is the Can class="hi2">Aan>USE of an class="hi2">aan>ll your suffering. You can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>ffected by nothing but your thoughts. It is your thoughts an class="hi2">aan>lone than class="hi2">aan>t bring you pan class="hi2">aan>in. Nothing in the world can class="hi2">aan>n bring oppression. Your thoughts literan class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>ll of your upset emotions.
The origin of upset feelings therefore is the nan class="hi2">aan>ture of your thinking. You might be used to thinking an class="hi2">aan>nd feeling like an class="hi2">aan> victim, in which you seem to only han class="hi2">aan>ve feelings if they han class="hi2">aan>ppen "to you", an class="hi2">aan>nd you only han class="hi2">aan>ve thoughts an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> kind of pan class="hi2">aan>ssive "commentan class="hi2">aan>ry" on whan class="hi2">aan>t is "han class="hi2">aan>ppening to you." But this is rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> destructive use of thought, which reverses can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect, an class="hi2">aan>nd sees you an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>t the effect of the world.
You han class="hi2">aan>ve to rean class="hi2">aan>lize an class="hi2">aan>lso then than class="hi2">aan>t your thoughts han class="hi2">aan>ve been an class="hi2">aan>cting just like an class="hi2">aan> victim, just like your ego emotions, pretending to be han class="hi2">aan>ppening to you. They han class="hi2">aan>ve been thoughts of suffering, thoughts of despan class="hi2">aan>ir, thoughts of being victimized, thoughts of being an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked, thoughts of sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th. These thoughts han class="hi2">aan>ve Can class="hi2">Aan>USED whan class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve been experiencing, emotionan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>nd physican class="hi2">aan>lly.
Your thoughts, or ran class="hi2">aan>ther your thinking, therefore han class="hi2">aan>s to go through an class="hi2">aan> tran class="hi2">aan>nsforman class="hi2">aan>tion in terms of how much destructiveness they contan class="hi2">aan>in. Thought han class="hi2">aan>s been used by the mind in its belief in dean class="hi2">aan>th, to produce suffering. Thought can class="hi2">aan>n similan class="hi2">aan>rly be used fan class="hi2">aan>r more constructively, positively, in an class="hi2">aan> life an class="hi2">aan>ffirming wan class="hi2">aan>y, to uplift an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd bring life. Thought can class="hi2">aan>n be used to give strength.
But you an class="hi2">aan>re not used to thinking like this. You an class="hi2">aan>re used to being an class="hi2">aan> victim on an class="hi2">aan> ban class="hi2">aan>ttlefield where everything han class="hi2">aan>ppens to you. You even think than class="hi2">aan>t your thoughts an class="hi2">aan>re thinking you. This han class="hi2">aan>s to be reversed. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to stan class="hi2">aan>rt using your POWER to think higher thoughts. To think well of yourself an class="hi2">aan>nd others. To think of han class="hi2">aan>ppiness. To elect light an class="hi2">aan>nd love an class="hi2">aan>nd life.
an class="hi2">Aan>t first it will seem like you can class="hi2">aan>n't do this becan class="hi2">aan>use you han class="hi2">aan>ve been so used to just "han class="hi2">aan>ving" thought an class="hi2">aan>nd you don't rean class="hi2">aan>lize you can class="hi2">aan>n control it an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ster it. This is why it tan class="hi2">aan>kes some pran class="hi2">aan>ctice. But you need to lean class="hi2">aan>rn than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ctively choose to han class="hi2">aan>ve uplifting thoughts. You can class="hi2">aan>n just an class="hi2">aan>s ean class="hi2">aan>sily han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> thought than class="hi2">aan>t someone an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly is doing well, an class="hi2">aan>s you can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> thought than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re suffering. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you han class="hi2">aan>ve to rean class="hi2">aan>lize your thoughts han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> REan class="hi2">Aan>L POWER which can class="hi2">aan>n produce REan class="hi2">Aan>L EFFECTS.
Your thoughts can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nd do an class="hi2">aan>ffect you an class="hi2">Aan>ND other people. You an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>lone in experiencing the EFFECTS of YOUR THINKING. Proban class="hi2">aan>bly an class="hi2">aan>ll your life you've been thinking in an class="hi2">aan>n egoic wan class="hi2">aan>y, in an class="hi2">aan> victimy wan class="hi2">aan>y, which han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly contributed to the suffering of yourself an class="hi2">aan>nd others. Now you an class="hi2">aan>re going to think deliberan class="hi2">aan>te, intentionan class="hi2">aan>l, chosen, free-willed an class="hi2">aan>nd higher thoughts. Purposeful thoughts of deciding than class="hi2">aan>t someone IS doing well, IS hean class="hi2">aan>lthy, IS hean class="hi2">aan>led, IS han class="hi2">aan>ppy, IS san class="hi2">aan>fe, IS innocent, IS resurrected.
You man class="hi2">aan>y han class="hi2">aan>ve never even conceived than class="hi2">aan>t your thoughts even han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ny power.

Reflections - A reflection of Heaven on Earth

Jesus uses the word "reflection" quite often when tan class="hi2">aan>lking an class="hi2">aan>bout the stan class="hi2">aan>te of seeing this physican class="hi2">aan>l world "perfectly" (overlooking it with forgiveness), an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of true perception looking an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> forgiven world, an class="hi2">aan>nd prepan class="hi2">aan>ring for Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. This reflection is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n IMan class="hi2">Aan>GE, just an class="hi2">aan>s your reflection in an class="hi2">aan> mirror is an class="hi2">aan>n iman class="hi2">aan>ge. It isn't the an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l thing itself - it is within the rean class="hi2">aan>lm of perception which is still an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted stan class="hi2">aan>te.
Holiness, love, purity, san class="hi2">aan>nity, pean class="hi2">aan>ce, etc can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ll be reflected "on Ean class="hi2">aan>rth", symbolican class="hi2">aan>lly. This can class="hi2">aan>n temporan class="hi2">aan>rily render Ean class="hi2">aan>rth an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> kind of "Hean class="hi2">aan>ven on Ean class="hi2">aan>rth" or, more an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>tely, Hean class="hi2">aan>ven being glimpsed beyond Ean class="hi2">aan>rth where forms no longer mean class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nything. But this stan class="hi2">aan>te is still once removed from Hean class="hi2">aan>ven itself. Those who perceive still need hean class="hi2">aan>ling, an class="hi2">aan>re not in communion with God, han class="hi2">aan>ve not fully embran class="hi2">aan>ced the an class="hi2">Aan>tonement, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re lan class="hi2">aan>cking in certan class="hi2">aan>inty an class="hi2">aan>nd knowledge. Perception, an class="hi2">aan>nd the forgiven world, the reflection of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, must end. Only Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is my home.
an class="hi2">Aan>ll these quotes an class="hi2">aan>re distinctly CLEan class="hi2">Aan>R, than class="hi2">aan>t the THING is Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, an class="hi2">aan>nd ITS REFLECTION is on Ean class="hi2">aan>rth. an class="hi2">Aan>nd every quote is consistent in this.

Lost in a perception of physical suffering

If someone tells you than class="hi2">aan>t something is medican class="hi2">aan>lly wrong with an class="hi2">aan> person, your mind will nan class="hi2">aan>rrow. You'll proban class="hi2">aan>bly find yourself focusing on their body. You'll feel like you an class="hi2">aan>re locked into the situan class="hi2">aan>tion with no wan class="hi2">aan>y to escan class="hi2">aan>pe it. Somehow your whole an class="hi2">aan>ttention is on the problem an class="hi2">aan>nd it seems like there is nothing you can class="hi2">aan>n do an class="hi2">aan>bout it.
This sensan class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re locked into an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>te with no wan class="hi2">aan>y out, mean class="hi2">aan>ns your mind han class="hi2">aan>s become imprisoned an class="hi2">aan>nd it is an class="hi2">aan>lso imprisoning the other person. It is holding sin an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst them an class="hi2">aan>nd giving rean class="hi2">aan>lity to their body. This mean class="hi2">aan>ns you've entered fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception, which is why you an class="hi2">aan>re in fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd feeling powerless. You think the person is their body, so your eyes an class="hi2">aan>re now fixan class="hi2">aan>ted on their body an class="hi2">aan>s if it - thus them - han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> problem than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>nnot be fixed.
The problem han class="hi2">aan>s to be first recognized in order to resolve it. Becan class="hi2">aan>use the problem isn't in fan class="hi2">aan>ct the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t something is wrong with the body-person, the problem is rean class="hi2">aan>lly than class="hi2">aan>t you're seeing them an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re being unforgiving. You han class="hi2">aan>ve confused their body for their self, thus confusing your body for yourself. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now you feel threan class="hi2">aan>tened an class="hi2">aan>nd unsan class="hi2">aan>fe an class="hi2">aan>nd in dan class="hi2">aan>nger becan class="hi2">aan>use you've identified with whan class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked, joining your brother in fan class="hi2">aan>lse empan class="hi2">aan>thy an class="hi2">aan>nd suffering.
To recognize the problem is to rean class="hi2">aan>lize the problem is not so much whan class="hi2">aan>t you see, but how you an class="hi2">aan>re seeing, or from whan class="hi2">aan>t van class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>ge point you're seeing from. an class="hi2">Aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception will glan class="hi2">aan>dly show you than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> person is exclusively physican class="hi2">aan>l, omitting an class="hi2">aan>ny sign than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan> body or an class="hi2">aan>ny an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>bout them than class="hi2">aan>t isn't solid. You'll then think this is an class="hi2">aan>ll there is, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore it is the only rean class="hi2">aan>lity, an class="hi2">aan>nd this is why you suffer in an class="hi2">aan>n unsolvan class="hi2">aan>ble probleman class="hi2">aan>tic span class="hi2">aan>ce.
The problem is than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve lost sight of the truth an class="hi2">aan>bout yourself an class="hi2">aan>nd them. They an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan> body, an class="hi2">aan>nd nor an class="hi2">aan>re you. They an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan> symptom or an class="hi2">aan> sickness. They an class="hi2">aan>re not physican class="hi2">aan>l. Your physican class="hi2">aan>l sight on its own without the input of true vision is blinding you by perception of form, limiting your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness to an class="hi2">aan> tiny fran class="hi2">aan>gment of whan class="hi2">aan>t's there. Your vision han class="hi2">aan>s become dan class="hi2">aan>rk an class="hi2">aan>nd nan class="hi2">aan>rrow an class="hi2">aan>nd this is why the whole situan class="hi2">aan>tion seems impossible to solve.
To see physican class="hi2">aan>l sickness an class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l is to be blinded by form. To believe there is something wrong with the body is to an class="hi2">aan>nchor you in fan class="hi2">aan>lse perceptions. To regan class="hi2">aan>rd the body an class="hi2">aan>s in dan class="hi2">aan>nger is to completely ignore the mind. But to recognize nothing rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>n be threan class="hi2">aan>tened is to rean class="hi2">aan>lize everyone is immortan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>nnot be sick. Ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely, than class="hi2">aan>t the body is not rean class="hi2">aan>lly there an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll, becan class="hi2">aan>use only the mind is rean class="hi2">aan>l.
"Let me recognize the problem so than class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>n be solved."
"Let me recognize than class="hi2">aan>t this problem han class="hi2">aan>s been solved."
"Let us be determined not to collect grievan class="hi2">aan>nces todan class="hi2">aan>y. Let us be determined to be free of problems than class="hi2">aan>t do not exist. The mean class="hi2">aan>ns is simple honesty. Do not deceive yourself an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t the problem is, an class="hi2">aan>nd you must recognize it han class="hi2">aan>s been solved."

Backwards perception in a world of punishment

In this world, it an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys seems an class="hi2">aan>s though we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>t the effect of the world. an class="hi2">Aan>s if the world is drean class="hi2">aan>ming us, can class="hi2">aan>using us, doing things to us, man class="hi2">aan>king us feel certan class="hi2">aan>in wan class="hi2">aan>ys, triggering certan class="hi2">aan>in rean class="hi2">aan>ctions.
When the world does something, the "ego" in us seems to rean class="hi2">aan>ct with van class="hi2">aan>rious kinds of stress, emotions, fean class="hi2">aan>rs, retan class="hi2">aan>lian class="hi2">aan>tions etc. an class="hi2">Aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys it’s like being stran class="hi2">aan>pped into an class="hi2">aan> ride where you han class="hi2">aan>ve no san class="hi2">aan>y in whan class="hi2">aan>t you feel or whan class="hi2">aan>t your stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind is. an class="hi2">Aan>s though the world entirely dictan class="hi2">aan>tes everything you experience.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t does the world han class="hi2">aan>ve in store for you todan class="hi2">aan>y? Whan class="hi2">aan>t problems is it going to slan class="hi2">aan>p you in the fan class="hi2">aan>ce with? In whan class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>y is it going to decide your fan class="hi2">aan>te? How it is going to upset you an class="hi2">aan>nd shit on you an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ke you feel an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id? This is whan class="hi2">aan>t it is set up to to do, an class="hi2">aan>ll dan class="hi2">aan>y every dan class="hi2">aan>y.
Fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception is an class="hi2">aan> ban class="hi2">aan>ckwan class="hi2">aan>rds perception. It literan class="hi2">aan>lly feels like everything you experience is coming an class="hi2">aan>t you from the world. Your moods, your emotions, your rean class="hi2">aan>ctions, your stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind, whether you an class="hi2">aan>re han class="hi2">aan>ppy or san class="hi2">aan>d, or can class="hi2">aan>lm or upset, seems entirely an class="hi2">aan>t the whim of an class="hi2">aan>n externan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>lien will.
The ego in us, is this pan class="hi2">aan>rt of mind than class="hi2">aan>t seems to just sit there an class="hi2">aan>nd receive punishment. The world han class="hi2">aan>s some shit on store for you todan class="hi2">aan>y? Fuck you. The world wan class="hi2">aan>nts to cran class="hi2">aan>p an class="hi2">aan>ll over your nice sense of security? Fuck you todan class="hi2">aan>y. The world wan class="hi2">aan>nts to decide everything’s just going to hit the fan class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>t once? Fuck you especian class="hi2">aan>lly.
This is how it is set up. This is whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens in fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception. This is how we experience life, every dan class="hi2">aan>y, when we believe than class="hi2">aan>t the world is the can class="hi2">aan>use of us. Than class="hi2">aan>t outside forces an class="hi2">aan>re shan class="hi2">aan>ping us. Externan class="hi2">aan>l events determine whether the dan class="hi2">aan>y sucks to hell or whether it’s an class="hi2">aan> "good one".
an class="hi2">Aan>nd so, in your mind, there’s this receiver of experience, the seeming pan class="hi2">aan>ssive an class="hi2">aan>nd powerless an class="hi2">aan>nd wean class="hi2">aan>k an class="hi2">aan>nd victimized self, defenseless an class="hi2">aan>nd vulneran class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>nd completely an class="hi2">aan>t the effect of everything. Than class="hi2">aan>t is the ego. Than class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind of fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception, of blindness, of being an class="hi2">aan> victim 24/7. Than class="hi2">aan>t the world is doing you.
To not question this, is to reman class="hi2">aan>in unan class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of rean class="hi2">aan>lity, light, truth, power an class="hi2">aan>nd pean class="hi2">aan>ce. To not question it is to simply be victimized an class="hi2">aan>ll the time. Stuff just continues to go wrong, over an class="hi2">aan>nd over an class="hi2">aan>nd over an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in. Shit han class="hi2">aan>ppens. Ban class="hi2">aan>d stuff goes down. Unexpected things brean class="hi2">aan>k. There’s sudden emergencies. The world plots an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst you an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>nts you dean class="hi2">aan>d.
This is whan class="hi2">aan>t the inner victim believes. an class="hi2">Aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use it is the belief in this, it an class="hi2">aan>lso plan class="hi2">aan>ys the role of this. It is the desire to be victimized. It is the an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to position oneself an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>t the effect of the world. To suffer. To han class="hi2">aan>ve the world can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of doing things to you. To an class="hi2">aan>llow us to overpower you, upset you, shan class="hi2">aan>ke you, disturb your pean class="hi2">aan>ce, an class="hi2">aan>nd tan class="hi2">aan>ke your freedom an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ppiness an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y.
It’s not ean class="hi2">aan>sy to brean class="hi2">aan>k out of this becan class="hi2">aan>use this ego self, this receiver of punishment by the world, this sufferer an class="hi2">aan>nd victim of an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>lien will, is pran class="hi2">aan>ctican class="hi2">aan>lly wired into the world like an class="hi2">aan> totan class="hi2">aan>lly pan class="hi2">aan>ssive an class="hi2">aan>bsorber of punishment. It sees the world an class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppening from the outside in, han class="hi2">aan>ppening to it, not from it. Nothing is seen an class="hi2">aan>s coming out of it or an class="hi2">aan>s being can class="hi2">aan>used by it or it being responsible for how an class="hi2">aan>nything is. This is the ego in an class="hi2">aan>ll its selfishness an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll its irresponsibility an class="hi2">aan>nd the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of innocence.
This is how it’s wired. It’s like it’s man class="hi2">aan>de to be plugged into the world. The world is set up to send messan class="hi2">aan>ges to it, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is set up to receive the messan class="hi2">aan>ges. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>r it is set up to seem not to even interpret the messan class="hi2">aan>ges, but to tan class="hi2">aan>ke them an class="hi2">aan>t fan class="hi2">aan>ce van class="hi2">aan>lue. To believe it them, an class="hi2">aan>nd to let the world define for itself whan class="hi2">aan>t its truth is. It’s even set up so than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>tever the world san class="hi2">aan>ys it is doing to you, it does than class="hi2">aan>t to you, an class="hi2">aan>nd you han class="hi2">aan>ve the an class="hi2">aan>pproprian class="hi2">aan>te rean class="hi2">aan>ction an class="hi2">aan>ccording to the hieran class="hi2">aan>rchy of illusions.
If the world decides todan class="hi2">aan>y to do something severe to you, the ego in you decides to go an class="hi2">aan>long with it blindly an class="hi2">aan>nd suffer in the extreme. If the world decides to seem to give you an class="hi2">aan> brean class="hi2">aan>k, the ego in you decides you’re somehow being let off an class="hi2">aan>nd given an class="hi2">aan> brean class="hi2">aan>k from the ban class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>ge of punishment. Only to expect than class="hi2">aan>t the next fuck-you is just an class="hi2">aan>round the corner.
But there is something very weird an class="hi2">aan>bout this, becan class="hi2">aan>use it is in fan class="hi2">aan>ct very ban class="hi2">aan>ckwan class="hi2">aan>rds. It’s completely unnan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l for it to be ban class="hi2">aan>ckwan class="hi2">aan>rds. It’s like living in the world in such an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y, than class="hi2">aan>t you don’t see yourself an class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan>ny power to do an class="hi2">aan>nything, an class="hi2">aan>nd only than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re to just lan class="hi2">aan>y down an class="hi2">aan>nd let the world wan class="hi2">aan>lk an class="hi2">aan>ll over you. Like you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> piece of can class="hi2">aan>rpeting onto which the world can class="hi2">aan>n just shit an class="hi2">aan>s it plean class="hi2">aan>ses.
The outside seems to comes into you, people do stuff to you, others decide who an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re, an class="hi2">aan>nd the world drean class="hi2">aan>ms of you an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y it wishes. You seem even to be man class="hi2">aan>de by other drean class="hi2">aan>m figures, an class="hi2">aan>nd modified by them an class="hi2">aan>s life goes on. This is so stran class="hi2">aan>nge an class="hi2">aan>nd so ban class="hi2">aan>ckwan class="hi2">aan>rds to experience "life" an class="hi2">aan>s though the externan class="hi2">aan>l world is the can class="hi2">aan>use of everything you an class="hi2">aan>re forever.
This is the fundan class="hi2">aan>mentan class="hi2">aan>l, nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l, corresponding an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>utoman class="hi2">aan>tic an class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>ngement of the nan class="hi2">aan>ture of this world, an class="hi2">aan>nd the nan class="hi2">aan>ture of your ego. This is the specian class="hi2">aan>l relan class="hi2">aan>tionship, locked into form an class="hi2">aan>nd dedican class="hi2">aan>ted to suffering an class="hi2">aan>nd victimhood. Where your every relan class="hi2">aan>tionship is founded on whan class="hi2">aan>t you get an class="hi2">aan>nd tan class="hi2">aan>ke from the world an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t it does to you on your behan class="hi2">aan>lf.
This is how you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>utoman class="hi2">aan>tican class="hi2">aan>lly wired, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> body identity, to experience the world an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>utoman class="hi2">aan>ton. To sense it, to han class="hi2">aan>ve it tell you whan class="hi2">aan>t is there, to han class="hi2">aan>ve the world stimulan class="hi2">aan>te you from the outside in, an class="hi2">aan>nd to define whan class="hi2">aan>t your experience is. It tran class="hi2">aan>nsmits stuff into you from the outside an class="hi2">aan>nd seems to tell you whan class="hi2">aan>t there is to see an class="hi2">aan>nd feel. an class="hi2">Aan>nd never does it an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to chan class="hi2">aan>llenge this an class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>ngement or ran class="hi2">aan>ise doubts an class="hi2">aan>bout the world’s an class="hi2">aan>bility to dominan class="hi2">aan>te you.
To overcome this, to move into true perception, which requires not only the reversan class="hi2">aan>l of can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect in your entire though system, but an class="hi2">aan>lso the totan class="hi2">aan>l questioning of every wan class="hi2">aan>y in which the world seems to do an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to be willing to fly in the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of whan class="hi2">aan>t seems "physican class="hi2">aan>lly nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l". To even go an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the stan class="hi2">aan>ndan class="hi2">aan>rd setup of the body senses. To be confronted with the an class="hi2">aan>ttempt by the world to can class="hi2">aan>use you, an class="hi2">aan>nd to be uncan class="hi2">aan>used by it. To disregan class="hi2">aan>rd an class="hi2">aan>ll temptan class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>nd not fan class="hi2">aan>ll for the belief than class="hi2">aan>t sin is rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening to you. Becan class="hi2">aan>use rean class="hi2">aan>lly this is an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m coming from you designed to man class="hi2">aan>ke it look like it’s coming from itself.
This is the work an class="hi2">aan>nd the chan class="hi2">aan>llenge an class="hi2">aan>nd the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l wan class="hi2">aan>y out of hell. This is the forgiveness of the world. To stan class="hi2">aan>re the world in the fan class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd recognize it is not coming an class="hi2">Aan>T you, but FROM you. To rean class="hi2">aan>lize you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> san class="hi2">aan>y in it, you contribute, you choose, you consent, you can class="hi2">aan>use, you han class="hi2">aan>ve power, an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>nnot be an class="hi2">aan> victim. It is completely unnan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l in terms of this world to an class="hi2">aan>ttempts to do this, which is why it can class="hi2">aan>n seem so difficult to do it consistently. The world han class="hi2">aan>s no end of temptan class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>nd problems to offer you to distran class="hi2">aan>ct you onto the slippery slopes of hell.
The truth then flies totan class="hi2">aan>lly in the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of the world an class="hi2">aan>nd is nothing like the world. The world is fan class="hi2">aan>lse. Truth offers an class="hi2">aan> perspective which comes from the inside an class="hi2">aan>nd extends outwan class="hi2">aan>rd through love ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>cting like an class="hi2">aan> blan class="hi2">aan>ck hole of suffering. It ignores an class="hi2">aan>ny suggestion than class="hi2">aan>t the world does an class="hi2">aan>nything to you or an class="hi2">aan>nyone, an class="hi2">aan>nd is completely unan class="hi2">aan>ffected an class="hi2">aan>nd unmoved by an class="hi2">aan>ny an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll occurrences an class="hi2">aan>nd suggestions of an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck han class="hi2">aan>ppening.

A quick fix when believing in sin

Sometimes when less than class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ppy, I will notice than class="hi2">aan>t proban class="hi2">aan>bly some fean class="hi2">aan>r is present. I will look an class="hi2">aan>t the "fean class="hi2">aan>ring" itself an class="hi2">aan>nd to some degree this shines an class="hi2">aan> light on it an class="hi2">aan>nd dispels it. Just even an class="hi2">aan>dmitting to being an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id is helpful.
But whan class="hi2">aan>t I recently discovered is than class="hi2">aan>t when I an class="hi2">aan>m less than class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ppy, it is possible to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly notice than class="hi2">aan>t I'm believing not just in fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt, but in sin. If I recognize this an class="hi2">aan>nd look an class="hi2">aan>t the sense or feeling of "its an class="hi2">aan> sin" or "sinfulness" or "I an class="hi2">aan>m sinful", which can class="hi2">aan>n express itself in an class="hi2">aan>ny form of guilt or fean class="hi2">aan>r or emotionan class="hi2">aan>l upset, I an class="hi2">aan>m quite surprised how ran class="hi2">aan>pidly an class="hi2">aan> tremendous weight is lifted. It's like an class="hi2">aan> dan class="hi2">aan>rk veil is just lifted right up an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll of those symptoms just disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r.
If sin isn't rean class="hi2">aan>l, then everything than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>me from sin must go with it - an class="hi2">aan>ll the guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll the fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll of the unhan class="hi2">aan>ppiness. It's like unplugging the problem an class="hi2">aan>t its core.

An inspired definition of what A Course in Miracles is

I received this inspired definition of whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles is todan class="hi2">aan>y.
an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles san class="hi2">aan>ys it is an class="hi2">aan> "required course", than class="hi2">aan>t you do not han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ny option on whether or not to tan class="hi2">aan>ke it, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t only the time than class="hi2">aan>t you tan class="hi2">aan>ke it is voluntan class="hi2">aan>ry. It san class="hi2">aan>ys there is an class="hi2">aan> curriculum which you must follow which you do not han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ny san class="hi2">aan>y in defining, mean class="hi2">aan>ning there an class="hi2">aan>re no other curriculums.
This is an class="hi2">aan> point of much controversy an class="hi2">aan>nd misunderstan class="hi2">aan>nding. But Jesus is telling the truth.
The "Course", if you will, the an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l Course than class="hi2">aan>t Jesus is referring to in the book "an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles", is not an class="hi2">aan> Course than class="hi2">aan>t exists an class="hi2">Aan>S the book, but the book is REFERRING to the Course.
The Course, the one curriculum, is referring to every metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l truth an class="hi2">aan>nd every metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l step which must an class="hi2">aan>t some point be tan class="hi2">aan>ken in order to return to God. This an class="hi2">aan>pplies to everyone, everywhere, an class="hi2">aan>ll the time. There an class="hi2">aan>re no exceptions or options. It doesn't man class="hi2">aan>tter who you an class="hi2">aan>re, whan class="hi2">aan>t religion you belong to, whan class="hi2">aan>t you believe, you do NOT han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> san class="hi2">aan>y in determining whan class="hi2">aan>t the metan class="hi2">aan>physics of existence is, how it operan class="hi2">aan>tes, whan class="hi2">aan>t the lan class="hi2">aan>ws an class="hi2">aan>re, or how you an class="hi2">aan>re mean class="hi2">aan>nt to function.
There IS only one truth. an class="hi2">Aan>nd from than class="hi2">aan>t One Truth, following the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, extends an class="hi2">aan>ll of the metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l levels an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>yers an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>cts, which an class="hi2">aan>re on an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely colossan class="hi2">aan>l scan class="hi2">aan>le in the tran class="hi2">aan>ns-personan class="hi2">aan>l, tran class="hi2">aan>ns-temporan class="hi2">aan>l mind of the One Son of God. The structuran class="hi2">aan>l composition of the levels of mind, the stan class="hi2">aan>ges of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, the steps than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve to go through in order to fan class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>sleep, the things you MUST experience if you tan class="hi2">aan>ke those steps, an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely irrefutan class="hi2">aan>ble Fan class="hi2">Aan>CTS. There is an class="hi2">aan> "Wan class="hi2">Aan>Y", there is only ONE wan class="hi2">aan>y, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is this one wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t Jesus han class="hi2">aan>s lan class="hi2">aan>belled "an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles".
Stop right there before you an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>te the book form with whan class="hi2">aan>t the Course is. Jesus, outside of the book, is referring to the metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l structure of rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd the illusion an class="hi2">aan>nd everything than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n possibly tan class="hi2">aan>ke plan class="hi2">aan>ce in it, the "true nan class="hi2">aan>ture" of existence, an class="hi2">aan>nd in His book titled "an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles" He han class="hi2">aan>s chosen to Nan class="hi2">Aan>ME than class="hi2">aan>t experientian class="hi2">aan>l metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l structure "the curriculum." There is no room for bending the rules or brean class="hi2">aan>king the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of the curriculum.
an class="hi2">Aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result of choosing sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, certan class="hi2">aan>in things can class="hi2">aan>me into existence which han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in structure, an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in behan class="hi2">aan>vior, an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in inter-relan class="hi2">aan>tionship with ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is an class="hi2">aan>ll entirely ban class="hi2">aan>sed on metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l fan class="hi2">aan>cts. Everything than class="hi2">aan>t seemed to han class="hi2">aan>ppen an class="hi2">aan>fter the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>ppened an class="hi2">aan>ccording to completely clean class="hi2">aan>r-cut can class="hi2">aan>uses an class="hi2">aan>nd effects. Ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly, by choosing ego, you MUST experience very exan class="hi2">aan>ct "effects", an class="hi2">aan>nd it is only by reversing those exan class="hi2">aan>ct effects than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n be free of the ego. You took 3 steps forwan class="hi2">aan>rd, you MUST tan class="hi2">aan>ke 3 steps ban class="hi2">aan>ck.
Therefore there IS only one rean class="hi2">aan>l curriculum. Either you an class="hi2">aan>re moving an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from God or towan class="hi2">aan>rd God. Movements towan class="hi2">aan>rd God an class="hi2">aan>re the curriculum. This an class="hi2">aan>pplies to everyone in an class="hi2">aan>ll wan class="hi2">aan>lks of life regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of whether they hean class="hi2">aan>rd of "an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles" or not. In an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y, though, Jesus han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted the term with the curriculum, becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>t the beginning He san class="hi2">aan>ys:
"This is an class="hi2">aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles. It is an class="hi2">aan> required Course."
Therefore Jesus is rean class="hi2">aan>lly referring to the one universan class="hi2">aan>l curriculum, the one universan class="hi2">aan>l metan class="hi2">aan>physics, an class="hi2">aan>nd the steps required in order to follow the curriculum, an class="hi2">aan>s "an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles". Not the book per se. The metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l structure of the drean class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll of its levels an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>yers an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>cts an class="hi2">aan>nd side-effects is an class="hi2">aan>ll whan class="hi2">aan>t defines the fixed curriculum, an class="hi2">aan>nd tan class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan> "course" in than class="hi2">aan>t, is the "Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles".
It is can class="hi2">aan>lled an class="hi2">aan> Course in MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CLES becan class="hi2">aan>use if you tan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l step in following the curriculum, man class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l progress in an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening, no man class="hi2">aan>tter whan class="hi2">aan>t belief system you an class="hi2">aan>re surrounding those steps with, you an class="hi2">aan>re performing miran class="hi2">aan>cles. Corrections of mind.
It must be true than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS inside of the curriculum, you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys tan class="hi2">aan>king the curriculum, an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>y bound by its rules. However, the option you han class="hi2">aan>ve is whether or not to LEan class="hi2">Aan>RN, i.e. tan class="hi2">aan>ke the curriculum, an class="hi2">aan>nd so you an class="hi2">aan>re free to choose WHEN to lean class="hi2">aan>rn it, i.e. when to tan class="hi2">aan>ke the next steps towan class="hi2">aan>rd God. You do not get to choose whan class="hi2">aan>t those steps an class="hi2">aan>re becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the metan class="hi2">aan>physics. You can class="hi2">aan>n continue to be in DENIan class="hi2">Aan>L of this truth, which is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to not tan class="hi2">aan>ke the curriculum, but you can class="hi2">aan>nnot CHan class="hi2">Aan>NGE this truth, an class="hi2">aan>nd sooner or lan class="hi2">aan>ter you MUST tan class="hi2">aan>ke it.
The curriculum therefore exists outside of the "book" of the Course, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>pplies in an class="hi2">Aan>LL belief systems an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll times. There is only one "rean class="hi2">aan>l" pan class="hi2">aan>th to God. There an class="hi2">aan>re corrections necessan class="hi2">aan>ry in order to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ken to the one truth. Whan class="hi2">aan>tever so-can class="hi2">aan>lled pan class="hi2">aan>th you an class="hi2">aan>re using, even if you never hean class="hi2">aan>rd of an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles, it MUST contan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st some metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l truth IF it is going to WORK an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. If it is not in an class="hi2">aan>lignment with the metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l truth an class="hi2">aan>nd if it does not an class="hi2">aan>dvan class="hi2">aan>nce you an class="hi2">aan>long the ONE curriculum, then it Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT work.
an class="hi2">Aan>lso different belief systems an class="hi2">aan>nd religions either man class="hi2">aan>ke the metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l truth clean class="hi2">aan>r, or obscure it, to van class="hi2">aan>rying degrees. Some belief systems obscure more than class="hi2">aan>n others an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>y obscure hean class="hi2">aan>vily. For exan class="hi2">aan>mple, san class="hi2">aan>tan class="hi2">aan>nism most likely is going to be very effective an class="hi2">aan>t denying the curriculum an class="hi2">aan>nd electing "not to tan class="hi2">aan>ke it yet". Similan class="hi2">aan>rly there an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>ny other delan class="hi2">aan>ying man class="hi2">aan>neuvers.

The BOOK, "an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles", is piggyban class="hi2">aan>cking, or describing, the "rean class="hi2">aan>l course", which is the curriculum, which is experientian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>pplies to everyone an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll times.

The problem with non-duality in A Course in Miracles

The idean class="hi2">aan> of non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to describe rean class="hi2">aan>lity or the nan class="hi2">aan>ture of God. Whan class="hi2">aan>t is rean class="hi2">aan>lly rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lly exists. an class="hi2">Aan>t first we han class="hi2">aan>ve the idean class="hi2">aan> of duan class="hi2">aan>lity or polan class="hi2">aan>r opposites. Then we rean class="hi2">aan>ch the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t the world is secretly "an class="hi2">aan>ll one thing", an class="hi2">aan>s though an class="hi2">aan>ll the objects an class="hi2">aan>re connected together by an class="hi2">aan> singulan class="hi2">aan>r "one" something.
Then we're presented even further with the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t if we're being rean class="hi2">aan>lly "pure" an class="hi2">aan>bout it, the forms an class="hi2">aan>nd objects rean class="hi2">aan>lly don't exist an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, an class="hi2">aan>nd the "oneness" beyond them is an class="hi2">aan>ll than class="hi2">aan>t rean class="hi2">aan>lly exists, ie God. In this model of "pure non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity", there is no world", an class="hi2">aan>nd this is whan class="hi2">aan>t SEEMS to correlan class="hi2">aan>te to SOME of whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>CIM san class="hi2">aan>ys. This usuan class="hi2">aan>lly lean class="hi2">aan>ds to conclusions such an class="hi2">aan>s "oneness" an class="hi2">aan>s in "an class="hi2">aan> count of one something", "its an class="hi2">aan>ll God", "it's an class="hi2">aan>ll mind" etc.
So van class="hi2">aan>rious people took up the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>CIM is pure non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity. But this han class="hi2">aan>s some problems. Let's put it this wan class="hi2">aan>y - the idean class="hi2">aan> is not pure enough. Becan class="hi2">aan>use if this is an class="hi2">aan> logican class="hi2">aan>l concept an class="hi2">aan>nd we're trying to get down to the purest essence of "whan class="hi2">aan>t is", usuan class="hi2">aan>lly you'll find than class="hi2">aan>t the pure non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity folk will an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPT than class="hi2">aan>t "God han class="hi2">aan>s one son". There's an class="hi2">aan> lot of man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>bout God han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> son - "The Son of God". an class="hi2">Aan>nd while this is an class="hi2">aan>ccepted, it's not an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly pure.
How can class="hi2">aan>n God han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> son, an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, if there is only God? How can class="hi2">aan>n you even lan class="hi2">aan>bel some an class="hi2">aan>spect of God - like his "ran class="hi2">aan>dian class="hi2">aan>nce", an class="hi2">aan>s "an class="hi2">aan> son"? God would not be an class="hi2">aan>ble to han class="hi2">aan>ve pan class="hi2">aan>rts, or an class="hi2">aan>spects, or an class="hi2">aan>nything you can class="hi2">aan>n ever an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ch an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>bel too. Not even in the most van class="hi2">aan>gue of wan class="hi2">aan>ys. Some people like to try to get an class="hi2">aan>round this by suggesting than class="hi2">aan>t the Son of God is so joined to God than class="hi2">aan>t there is nowhere he ends an class="hi2">aan>nd God begins... while STILL keeping somehow in their minds this loose idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t SOMEHOW, you can class="hi2">aan>n still point an class="hi2">aan> finger an class="hi2">aan>t this "pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God" an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>ll it God's Son. THan class="hi2">Aan>T is still not pure. It's an class="hi2">aan> ban class="hi2">aan>ndan class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to explan class="hi2">aan>in it.
The problem is than class="hi2">aan>t if you get rean class="hi2">aan>lly pure an class="hi2">aan>bout it, an class="hi2">aan>nd we remove an class="hi2">aan>ll sense of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tions, divisions, multitudes, lan class="hi2">aan>bels, pan class="hi2">aan>rts an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>spects etc... an class="hi2">aan>nd we REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY boil it down to "one thing" an class="hi2">aan>s in the tran class="hi2">aan>ditionan class="hi2">aan>l idean class="hi2">aan> of "oneness" (the ego's idean class="hi2">aan> of purity), we end up with .... there literan class="hi2">aan>lly is only God. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns God, sitting there an class="hi2">Aan>LONE, by Himself, WITHOUT an class="hi2">aan> Son, without an class="hi2">aan> sonship, without an class="hi2">aan>ny crean class="hi2">aan>tions or thoughts, just totan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>lone, no-one to shan class="hi2">aan>re with, nothing to communican class="hi2">aan>te with, just complete an class="hi2">aan> totan class="hi2">aan>l loneliness. THan class="hi2">Aan>T, an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly, is the purest possible interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion of "pure" non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity. Than class="hi2">aan>t "there is only God" an class="hi2">aan>ll by Himself an class="hi2">aan>nd he doesn't even han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> Son an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. Not even one.
But man class="hi2">aan>ny people will not wan class="hi2">aan>nt to "go there" becan class="hi2">aan>use to suggest there isn't even one Son flies in the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of an class="hi2">aan> lot of an class="hi2">Aan>CIM man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l. an class="hi2">Aan>nd certan class="hi2">aan>in populan class="hi2">aan>r tean class="hi2">aan>chers han class="hi2">aan>ve tan class="hi2">aan>ught for an class="hi2">aan> long time than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>) there is only one thing but b) an class="hi2">aan> slight exception is man class="hi2">aan>de for there being an class="hi2">aan> single son. This sort of hybrid mishman class="hi2">aan>sh of logican class="hi2">aan>l concepts han class="hi2">aan>s been quite widely an class="hi2">aan>ccepted an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> correct man class="hi2">aan>pping to whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>CIM is san class="hi2">aan>ying. One God + One Son, who is God, but isn't, but is. It's an class="hi2">aan> ban class="hi2">aan>ndan class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>nd not logican class="hi2">aan>lly pure nor does it man class="hi2">aan>tch whan class="hi2">aan>t the Course itself san class="hi2">aan>ys.
The fan class="hi2">aan>ct is, if there is truly this "oneness" in which there an class="hi2">aan>re not "man class="hi2">aan>ny" of an class="hi2">aan>nything, in an class="hi2">aan>n effort to an class="hi2">aan>void "duan class="hi2">aan>lity", there is **no son** there whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever.

Which is shan class="hi2">aan>ping up to be an class="hi2">aan> lot of "pan class="hi2">aan>rts", an class="hi2">aan> lot of "somethings" than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>re sufficient enough to san class="hi2">aan>y there isn't "just" God there - than class="hi2">aan>t there Han class="hi2">Aan>S BEEN an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ct of crean class="hi2">aan>tion. Than class="hi2">aan>t something han class="hi2">aan>s been an class="hi2">Aan>DDED TO rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
There is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>n issue of freedom. If everything in rean class="hi2">aan>lity is God an class="hi2">aan>nd God is just being God in an class="hi2">aan>ll of His wan class="hi2">aan>ys, then there is no freedom in which an class="hi2">aan>ny pan class="hi2">aan>rt or an class="hi2">aan>spect han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ny free will. There is no wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> Son of God can class="hi2">aan>n drean class="hi2">aan>m of exile. There is no wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nything can class="hi2">aan>n occur without it being God doing it Himself, directly. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ny idean class="hi2">aan> of an class="hi2">aan> Son must rean class="hi2">aan>lly be an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> of some kind of PUPPET than class="hi2">aan>t God is man class="hi2">aan>nipulan class="hi2">aan>ting than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s no mind or life or will of its own - no freedom an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. Which rean class="hi2">aan>lly runs counter to whan class="hi2">aan>t Jesus tells us of the Son of God, free will, the an class="hi2">aan>bility to choose an class="hi2">aan>nd the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion seeming to han class="hi2">aan>ppen.
If you an class="hi2">aan>lso blob it an class="hi2">aan>ll together an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>y "its an class="hi2">aan>ll God" then you end up with the an class="hi2">aan>lan class="hi2">aan>rming scenan class="hi2">aan>rio than class="hi2">aan>t God therefore MUST be drean class="hi2">aan>ming of exile, God must han class="hi2">aan>ve invented the illusion of dean class="hi2">aan>th, God is REan class="hi2">Aan>LLY cruel, an class="hi2">aan>nd God han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked himself. This renders God insan class="hi2">aan>ne, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t just isn't an class="hi2">aan>cceptan class="hi2">aan>ble. Becan class="hi2">aan>use if God could go off the ran class="hi2">aan>ils, there is no wan class="hi2">aan>y He would ever return to san class="hi2">aan>nity, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll of existence would van class="hi2">aan>nish.
It is vitan class="hi2">aan>l than class="hi2">aan>t there be some kind of freedom between God an class="hi2">aan>nd the Son in order for God NOT to be pulled into insan class="hi2">aan>nity an class="hi2">aan>long with His Son's drean class="hi2">aan>ming. Free Will is an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely vitan class="hi2">aan>l in order to prevent this. But to han class="hi2">aan>ve free will mean class="hi2">aan>ns, you guessed it, there MUST be an class="hi2">aan> kind of "independence" or individuan class="hi2">aan>lity, in which the Son Can class="hi2">Aan>N, if He so chooses, try to will an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst God. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t God is the Can class="hi2">Aan>USE of His Son, His Son is the EFFECT of Him, an class="hi2">aan>nd God han class="hi2">aan>s given His son FREEDOM to SHan class="hi2">Aan>RE His freedom with Him, or deny it. Either wan class="hi2">aan>y, without freedom there is no free will an class="hi2">aan>nd no son an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.
There is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>nother man class="hi2">aan>jor problem with non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity. God by His nan class="hi2">aan>ture is love an class="hi2">aan>nd love MUST be given. Unless it is given ie shan class="hi2">aan>red, it does not extend or shine an class="hi2">aan>nd so becomes essentian class="hi2">aan>lly lifeless. IT MUST go out an class="hi2">aan>nd crean class="hi2">aan>te. If God han class="hi2">aan>s no son, there is nothing TO love or to SHan class="hi2">Aan>RE it with. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so love can class="hi2">aan>nnot love. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this mean class="hi2">aan>ns, ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely, logican class="hi2">aan>lly, than class="hi2">aan>t God is dean class="hi2">aan>d becan class="hi2">aan>use He isn't LOVING. This an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in is unan class="hi2">aan>cceptan class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> conclusion. God can class="hi2">aan>n't be dean class="hi2">aan>d or unloving. But to be an class="hi2">aan>live, GOD MUST CREan class="hi2">Aan>TE, so we must an class="hi2">aan>ccept God han class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">Aan>DDITIONan class="hi2">Aan>L BEINGS in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of freedom.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is the key pan class="hi2">aan>rt than class="hi2">aan>t non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity shits an class="hi2">aan>ll over. Regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t it destroys the sonship an class="hi2">aan>nd ignores God's crean class="hi2">aan>tions, it ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly denies than class="hi2">aan>t God CREan class="hi2">Aan>TES an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. It's the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t God is just sitting there an class="hi2">aan>lone twiddling his thumbs. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this mean class="hi2">aan>ns He is not crean class="hi2">aan>ting an class="hi2">aan> son, not even one. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns there is no Kingdom. No Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. No HOME for the Son of God. No inheritan class="hi2">aan>nce. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns the denian class="hi2">aan>l than class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>mily. It denies than class="hi2">aan>t God's SON is an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tor, an class="hi2">Aan>ND it denies than class="hi2">aan>t God's son han class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>ted children. It's not conceptuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> good FIT for an class="hi2">Aan>CIM's metan class="hi2">aan>physics.
So non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly suppresses the Man class="hi2">Aan>NY thought crean class="hi2">aan>tions of God, denies man class="hi2">aan>ny an class="hi2">aan>spects of REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY, an class="hi2">aan>nd overthrows the Kingdom. It kills off God, puts an class="hi2">aan> stop to Crean class="hi2">aan>tion, eran class="hi2">aan>dican class="hi2">aan>tes shan class="hi2">aan>ring, man class="hi2">aan>kes it impossible for God to crean class="hi2">aan>te man class="hi2">aan>ny children, an class="hi2">aan>nd interprets the Sonship an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> collection of egos. Now, WHO exan class="hi2">aan>ctly do you think comes up with such an class="hi2">aan> concept of "whan class="hi2">aan>t rean class="hi2">aan>lity is like"? THE EGO. These an class="hi2">aan>re the EGO's conclusions, non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity is an class="hi2">aan>n EGO CONCEPT, an class="hi2">aan>nd like an class="hi2">aan>ll ego concepts it an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly NEGan class="hi2">Aan>TES whan class="hi2">aan>t is true an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>ncels or denies rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
an class="hi2">Aan>ll non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity models an class="hi2">aan>re the ridiculous Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE conclusions than class="hi2">aan>t the ego comes to when trying to understan class="hi2">aan>nd something TOTan class="hi2">Aan>LLY BEYOND the ego. Something whose nan class="hi2">aan>ture is NOTHING LIKE the ego, an class="hi2">aan>nd so the ego is utterly clueless an class="hi2">aan>s to its nan class="hi2">aan>ture. Non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity is not rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to define or describe rean class="hi2">aan>lity, it's an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to destroy it.
an class="hi2">Aan>t best, an class="hi2">aan>nd only loosely, non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity MIGHT describe "God Himself", if you could isolan class="hi2">aan>te Him an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>y, God is one whole being, PRIOR to crean class="hi2">aan>tion. But beyond than class="hi2">aan>t, in terms of God being an class="hi2">aan> CREan class="hi2">Aan>TOR, who Han class="hi2">Aan>S CREan class="hi2">Aan>TED CHILDREN, it totan class="hi2">aan>lly fan class="hi2">aan>lls flan class="hi2">aan>t on its fan class="hi2">aan>ce. There is no sonship without crean class="hi2">aan>tion. Non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity is Kingdom-denying. Rean class="hi2">aan>lity IS NOT an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of "its an class="hi2">aan>ll God" or "its an class="hi2">aan>ll mind". It's an class="hi2">aan>ll God an class="hi2">Aan>ND God's crean class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">Aan>ND their crean class="hi2">aan>tions. Becan class="hi2">aan>use you can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">Aan>DD TO REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY, rean class="hi2">aan>lity can class="hi2">aan>nnot be non-duan class="hi2">aan>listic.
"HE crean class="hi2">aan>ted the Sonship, an class="hi2">aan>nd YOU increan class="hi2">aan>se it. You Han class="hi2">Aan>VE the power to an class="hi2">Aan>DD to the Kingdom, but NOT to an class="hi2">aan>dd to the Crean class="hi2">aan>tor OF the Kingdom."
"God crean class="hi2">aan>ted His **Sons** by extending His Thought an class="hi2">aan>nd retan class="hi2">aan>ining the extensions of His Thought in His Mind. an class="hi2">Aan>LL His Thoughts an class="hi2">aan>re thus perfectly united within themselves an class="hi2">aan>nd with ean class="hi2">aan>ch other becan class="hi2">aan>use they were crean class="hi2">aan>ted neither pan class="hi2">aan>rtian class="hi2">aan>lly nor in pan class="hi2">aan>rt."
"You should know than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll God's children an class="hi2">aan>re fully worthy of COMPLETE courtesy."
"We an class="hi2">aan>re crean class="hi2">aan>tion, WE, the Sons of God."
"an class="hi2">Aan>nd we, God's children, rise up from the dust an class="hi2">aan>nd look upon our perfect sinlessness."
But let's ban class="hi2">aan>ck up an class="hi2">aan> moment. The Course DOES san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t there is only God. It DOES san class="hi2">aan>y God han class="hi2">aan>s one Son. It DOES san class="hi2">aan>y there is only one mind (Christ mind). It DOES spean class="hi2">aan>k of oneness. "Into eternity where an class="hi2">aan>ll is one" "I an class="hi2">aan>nd my fan class="hi2">aan>ther an class="hi2">aan>re one" "God han class="hi2">aan>s but one son" etc. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t *seems* to support the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t "its an class="hi2">aan>ll God". But here's the thing. IT IS an class="hi2">aan>ll God, it IS an class="hi2">aan>ll "one", BUT.... THERE IS **an class="hi2">Aan>LSO** CREan class="hi2">Aan>TION. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll crean class="hi2">aan>ted BEINGS an class="hi2">aan>re LIKE God, shan class="hi2">aan>re with God, an class="hi2">aan>re one with God (of the san class="hi2">aan>me nan class="hi2">aan>ture, joined to Him), yet han class="hi2">aan>ve THEIR OWN FREEDOM.
God Han class="hi2">Aan>S crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>mily of beings. God IS an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tor. God DID crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st one son. SO non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity is out the window. Rean class="hi2">aan>lity is not some gian class="hi2">aan>nt expan class="hi2">aan>nse of singulan class="hi2">aan>rity. It's more like an class="hi2">aan> womb in which God han class="hi2">aan>s given birth to crean class="hi2">aan>tions, WITHIN His own being, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s given them FREEDOM. Living, whole-minded, willfully free beings. Children of God. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes you uncomfortan class="hi2">aan>ble becan class="hi2">aan>use it "does not compute" or "it sounds like duan class="hi2">aan>lity", too ban class="hi2">aan>d. It is whan class="hi2">aan>t it is an class="hi2">aan>nd its your job to an class="hi2">aan>ccept it.
It's not the san class="hi2">aan>me thing an class="hi2">aan>s duan class="hi2">aan>lity. Duan class="hi2">aan>lity mean class="hi2">aan>ns the locan class="hi2">aan>lizan class="hi2">aan>tion of pan class="hi2">aan>rts which an class="hi2">aan>re split off an class="hi2">aan>nd kept sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te by NOT SHan class="hi2">Aan>RING with ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, confined an class="hi2">aan>nd isolan class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>nd different. Duan class="hi2">aan>lity is the nan class="hi2">aan>ture of span class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd time, where nothing shan class="hi2">aan>res. Non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity is the idean class="hi2">aan> of the opposite of than class="hi2">aan>t - than class="hi2">aan>t the differences an class="hi2">aan>re illusions an class="hi2">aan>nd everything is one thing. But than class="hi2">aan>t too is not an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te. Rean class="hi2">aan>lity isn't some "stan class="hi2">aan>te" where God is contemplan class="hi2">aan>ting his nan class="hi2">aan>vel. Rean class="hi2">aan>lity isn't like duan class="hi2">aan>lity even with its man class="hi2">aan>ny pan class="hi2">aan>rts becan class="hi2">aan>use they STILL an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll "one" an class="hi2">Aan>ND YET an class="hi2">aan>lso man class="hi2">aan>ny. an class="hi2">Aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>ch pan class="hi2">aan>rt SHan class="hi2">Aan>RES with an class="hi2">aan>ll the rest an class="hi2">aan>nd IS EVERYWHERE. "One mind is an class="hi2">aan>ll minds."
Love is EXPRESSIVE. "Divine an class="hi2">aan>bstran class="hi2">aan>ction tan class="hi2">aan>kes joy in an class="hi2">aan>pplican class="hi2">aan>tion." "God did not will to be an class="hi2">aan>lone." an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s such God han class="hi2">aan>s gone BEYOND the concept of "there's only one thing there". God han class="hi2">aan>s CREan class="hi2">Aan>TED children. He han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">Aan>DDED to existence, an class="hi2">aan>nd your function is to an class="hi2">aan>dd to it further. Than class="hi2">aan>t's not non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity by an class="hi2">aan> long shot. Nor is it duan class="hi2">aan>lity (span class="hi2">aan>cetime where things an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>nd limited).
God han class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan> Kingdom. an class="hi2">Aan> home for His Sons. Who an class="hi2">aan>re one, but man class="hi2">aan>ny. This is whan class="hi2">aan>t's miran class="hi2">aan>culous an class="hi2">aan>nd ego defying. Becan class="hi2">aan>use of SHan class="hi2">Aan>RING ("nothing rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>n be increan class="hi2">aan>sed, except by shan class="hi2">aan>ring"), God han class="hi2">aan>s "man class="hi2">aan>de room" for beings within Him who shan class="hi2">aan>re with Him FULLY (oneness) but who STILL retan class="hi2">aan>in their own souls. The soul han class="hi2">aan>s been FULLY an class="hi2">Aan>DDED to existence.
"The soul han class="hi2">aan>s not only been crean class="hi2">aan>ted perfect, it han class="hi2">aan>s been FULLY crean class="hi2">aan>ted. There is no lan class="hi2">aan>ck in it."
an class="hi2">Aan>fter the ego is undone, an class="hi2">aan>fter the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>s ended, an class="hi2">aan>fter the universe han class="hi2">aan>s disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>red, an class="hi2">aan>fter an class="hi2">aan>ll divisions an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>rtifician class="hi2">aan>l UNNan class="hi2">Aan>TURan class="hi2">Aan>L sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>re gone, when duan class="hi2">aan>lity is no more... the children of God WILL REMan class="hi2">Aan>IN children of God, just an class="hi2">aan>s they were BEFORE the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion.
"I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>s God crean class="hi2">aan>ted me".
"The Holy Spirit promotes hean class="hi2">aan>ling by looking beyond it to whan class="hi2">aan>t the children of God were before hean class="hi2">aan>ling wan class="hi2">aan>s needed, an class="hi2">aan>nd will be when they han class="hi2">aan>ve been hean class="hi2">aan>led."
"The Voice of the Holy Spirit is the Can class="hi2">aan>ll to an class="hi2">Aan>tonement, or the restoran class="hi2">aan>tion of the integrity of the mind.

an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles is NOT non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity.

This mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t if you believe the world of bodies is true an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>l, you will see it, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result of seeing it, you will man class="hi2">aan>ke the rean class="hi2">aan>l world invisible to you. Becan class="hi2">aan>use the rean class="hi2">aan>l world is blotted out by this choice to perceive an class="hi2">aan>n illusory world an class="hi2">aan>nd not an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l world.
Similan class="hi2">aan>rly, if you desire to see only love, you will see only the rean class="hi2">aan>l world. an class="hi2">Aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result, than class="hi2">aan>t which is now recognized an class="hi2">aan>s fan class="hi2">aan>lse, will not be seen. This is reflected in the tean class="hi2">aan>ching "you can class="hi2">aan>nnot see both worlds." an class="hi2">Aan>nd "The world you see must be denied, for sight of it is costing you an class="hi2">aan> different kind of vision."
Jesus an class="hi2">aan>lso confirmed this ban class="hi2">aan>sic lan class="hi2">aan>w here: "This is in strict an class="hi2">aan>ccord with vision's FUNDan class="hi2">Aan>MENTan class="hi2">Aan>L lan class="hi2">aan>w: You see whan class="hi2">aan>t you believe is there, an class="hi2">aan>nd you believe it there becan class="hi2">aan>use you Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT it there. Perception Han class="hi2">Aan>S no other lan class="hi2">aan>w than class="hi2">aan>n this."
So very simply, whan class="hi2">aan>tever you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to see, you will see. In an class="hi2">aan>ll can class="hi2">aan>ses. Whether it be "I wan class="hi2">aan>nt to see an class="hi2">aan> sinful world" or "I wan class="hi2">aan>nt to see rean class="hi2">aan>lity" or "I wan class="hi2">aan>nt to see love" or "I wan class="hi2">aan>nt to see dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>s though it's rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening." Whan class="hi2">aan>tever you van class="hi2">aan>lue, desire an class="hi2">aan>nd believe in, you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to see, an class="hi2">aan>nd so you see it.
"Vision an class="hi2">aan>dan class="hi2">aan>pts to wish, for sight is an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys secondan class="hi2">aan>ry to desire. an class="hi2">Aan>nd ****if you see the body, you han class="hi2">aan>ve chosen judgment, an class="hi2">aan>nd not vision****. For vision, like relan class="hi2">aan>tionships, han class="hi2">aan>s no order. You either SEE, or not."
The spectrum of choice here is in terms of whether you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to see dean class="hi2">aan>th, dan class="hi2">aan>rkness, evil nightman class="hi2">aan>res, sin an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd murder etc, or whether you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to see han class="hi2">aan>rmlessness, pean class="hi2">aan>ce, joy, love, san class="hi2">aan>fety etc. Consider this an class="hi2">aan> vertican class="hi2">aan>l spectrum, ran class="hi2">aan>nging from dan class="hi2">aan>rkness to light.
an class="hi2">Aan>t the bottom in the grean class="hi2">aan>test dan class="hi2">aan>rkness, there is the most belief than class="hi2">aan>t illusions an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>l. Here there is significan class="hi2">aan>nt denian class="hi2">aan>l, blockan class="hi2">aan>ge, unwillingness, condemnan class="hi2">aan>tion, belief in sin, horizontan class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>usan class="hi2">aan>lity, suffering an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th. an class="hi2">Aan>s resurrection towan class="hi2">aan>rds the light is man class="hi2">aan>de, an class="hi2">aan>ll of this diminishes an class="hi2">aan>nd is replan class="hi2">aan>ced with can class="hi2">aan>lm, han class="hi2">aan>ppiness, pean class="hi2">aan>ce, love, gentleness, loveliness, forgiveness etc.
The dan class="hi2">aan>rkened stan class="hi2">aan>te of perception, Jesus is can class="hi2">aan>lling fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception. The lightened stan class="hi2">aan>te of perception, Jesus is can class="hi2">aan>lling true perception. ie, in fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception, than class="hi2">aan>t which is Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE is SEEN becan class="hi2">aan>use you Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT TO. In true perception the TRUTH is seen, becan class="hi2">aan>use you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to. This is an class="hi2">aan> spectrum between illusions an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lity, between dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd life, between fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd love, between chan class="hi2">aan>os an class="hi2">aan>nd pean class="hi2">aan>ce.
So this depends on whan class="hi2">aan>t is han class="hi2">aan>ppening in your mind an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t you believe is true. Your mind decides this FIRST, an class="hi2">aan>nd THEN sees whan class="hi2">aan>t it han class="hi2">aan>s believed in. Projection of the belief man class="hi2">aan>kes perception. "Perception is an class="hi2">aan> result, not an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use". Jesus an class="hi2">aan>lso likens this process to Han class="hi2">Aan>LLUCINan class="hi2">Aan>TION, in which you ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly man class="hi2">aan>ke up IMan class="hi2">Aan>GES ban class="hi2">aan>sed on whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to see, regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of whether it's rean class="hi2">aan>lly there.
Someone in grean class="hi2">aan>t dan class="hi2">aan>rkness is han class="hi2">aan>llucinan class="hi2">aan>ting strongly (insan class="hi2">aan>nity). They SEE an class="hi2">aan> world than class="hi2">aan>t strikes them an class="hi2">aan>s horrifying an class="hi2">aan>nd upsetting. an class="hi2">Aan>s the focus shifts to love, the han class="hi2">aan>llucinan class="hi2">aan>tions diminish an class="hi2">aan>nd "whan class="hi2">aan>t is rean class="hi2">aan>lly there" is revean class="hi2">aan>led. ie the rean class="hi2">aan>l world, or ran class="hi2">aan>ther, the illusory world "an class="hi2">aan>s it is" with nothing an class="hi2">aan>dded to judge it. The world is now "forgiven" an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs neutran class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd lovely. You wan class="hi2">aan>nted to see love in it, so you do. "Love looks upon itself."
Jesus an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to be quite clean class="hi2">aan>r, than class="hi2">aan>t by choosing to "shift perception" towan class="hi2">aan>rds Christ Vision, which enan class="hi2">aan>bles you to become an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of an class="hi2">aan>nd see "the rean class="hi2">aan>l world", doing so can class="hi2">aan>uses you NOT TO SEE the dan class="hi2">aan>rk icky world. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct, he even goes so fan class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>s to san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t in the purest true perception, the world of bodies is completely forgotten, you don't even see bodies an class="hi2">Aan>T an class="hi2">Aan>LL. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the rean class="hi2">aan>l world Han class="hi2">Aan>S no bodies.
"an class="hi2">Aan>nd if you see the body, you han class="hi2">aan>ve chosen judgment, an class="hi2">aan>nd not vision."
"You han class="hi2">aan>ve the vision than class="hi2">aan>t enan class="hi2">aan>bles you to see the body not."
"Thus is the concept of himself lan class="hi2">aan>id by, for nothing stan class="hi2">aan>nds between his sight an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t he looks upon, to judge whan class="hi2">aan>t he beholds. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in this single vision does he see the Fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ, an class="hi2">aan>nd understan class="hi2">aan>nds he looks on everyone an class="hi2">aan>s he beholds this One. For there is light where dan class="hi2">aan>rkness wan class="hi2">aan>s before, an class="hi2">aan>nd now the veil is lifted from his sight."
He is clean class="hi2">aan>r than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>nnot see both worlds. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot see BOTH the fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception world an class="hi2">aan>nd the true perception world an class="hi2">aan>s the san class="hi2">aan>me time. an class="hi2">Aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st, not seeing either of them fully. To fully han class="hi2">aan>ve vision is to NOT see the world of bodies. "Forgiveness does not look upon bodies." an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is simply becan class="hi2">aan>use the Spirituan class="hi2">aan>l Eye does not USE the body's eyesight to see. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>LL it sees is the fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ. It does not see an class="hi2">aan> world ban class="hi2">aan>sed on photons of light becan class="hi2">aan>use it does not use the body's light sensors (eyes).
"This world you see MUST BE DENIED, for sight of it is costing you an class="hi2">aan> different kind of vision. YOU Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT SEE BOTH WORLDS. For ean class="hi2">aan>ch of them involves an class="hi2">aan> different kind of seeing, an class="hi2">aan>nd depends on whan class="hi2">aan>t you cherish. The sight of one is possible becan class="hi2">aan>use you han class="hi2">aan>ve DENIED THE OTHER."
This is key becan class="hi2">aan>use it mean class="hi2">aan>ns, either you will look an class="hi2">aan>t the fan class="hi2">aan>lse world, or the true world. Either the illusory world, or the rean class="hi2">aan>l world. Either the world than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s no buildings or streets or stores or the sun, OR the world than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s buildings an class="hi2">aan>nd streets an class="hi2">aan>nd stores an class="hi2">aan>nd the sun.
"For vision, like relan class="hi2">aan>tionships, han class="hi2">aan>s no order. You either SEE, or not."
This mean class="hi2">aan>ns, either you an class="hi2">aan>re using the body's physican class="hi2">aan>l sight, OR you an class="hi2">aan>re using the Spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye. The Holy Spirit correlan class="hi2">aan>tes to the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye an class="hi2">aan>nd He only looks upon Christ.
I han class="hi2">aan>ve come to think of these an class="hi2">aan>s like two "devices." Both of them an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lso illusions, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore technican class="hi2">aan>lly ego. But the illusion of forgiveness can class="hi2">aan>n point towan class="hi2">aan>rds the truth. You can class="hi2">aan>n either use the body's physican class="hi2">aan>l sight sensors to pick up iman class="hi2">aan>ges of an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l world, or you can class="hi2">aan>n use the Spirituan class="hi2">aan>l Eye, which Can class="hi2">Aan>N ONLY SEE SPIRIT. The spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT BE USED to look upon the world of form! It can class="hi2">aan>n only look an class="hi2">aan>t REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the world of form is an class="hi2">aan>n ILLUSION.
For you, an class="hi2">aan>s mind, you can class="hi2">aan>n decide how much of the Spirituan class="hi2">aan>l Eye you will behold. ie how much you believe it's messan class="hi2">aan>ges an class="hi2">aan>re true. But here is the can class="hi2">aan>tch. To the extent than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">Aan>TUNE to the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye, you inversely TUNE OUT of the physican class="hi2">aan>l eye. Which mean class="hi2">aan>ns, you're going to either emphan class="hi2">aan>size or deemphan class="hi2">aan>size whan class="hi2">aan>t the body's eyes an class="hi2">aan>re showing you, ban class="hi2">aan>sed on how much you han class="hi2">aan>ve forgiven.
"Corrective lean class="hi2">aan>rning an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys begins with an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye, an class="hi2">aan>nd turning an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from belief in physican class="hi2">aan>l sight."
"This ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely rean class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kens the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye, simultan class="hi2">aan>neously wean class="hi2">aan>kening the investment in physican class="hi2">aan>l sight."
The body's sight is one source of "input" to your mind's an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness. The spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye is the second source of input to your mind's an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness. Dian class="hi2">aan>ling the knob tunes between the two. Your mind thus an class="hi2">Aan>LIGNS WITH, ie an class="hi2">aan>grees with an class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l, either the physican class="hi2">aan>l world or the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l world. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>greement mean class="hi2">aan>ns, you believe it is true an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>l. By tuning into one, you tune OUT of the other. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot see BOTH!
In order to SEE the physican class="hi2">aan>l world, therefore, your mind han class="hi2">aan>s to CLOSE the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye. Guilt is required in order to tune into it. an class="hi2">Aan> belief in sin is required. an class="hi2">Aan> belief in dean class="hi2">aan>th is required. The physican class="hi2">aan>l is an class="hi2">aan>lso tuned into through body identifican class="hi2">aan>tion.
By believing in nan class="hi2">aan>rrowness, blockan class="hi2">aan>ge, sin, guilt, fean class="hi2">aan>r, dean class="hi2">aan>th, an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, isolan class="hi2">aan>tion, sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, selfishness, upset, unhan class="hi2">aan>ppiness, sickness etc... your mind confines itself to the body. The more it binds itself to the body the LESS it sees with the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye. The more it believes these things an class="hi2">aan>re TRUE, the more it will SEE them in the world it sees.
The body is like an class="hi2">aan> fixed frequency of hell. The spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye is like an class="hi2">aan> fixed frequency of hean class="hi2">aan>ven. The more you tune into one the more rean class="hi2">aan>l it becomes to you. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this then determines whan class="hi2">aan>t of the TWO worlds you will see.
The world you man class="hi2">aan>de, is the illusory world, which includes an class="hi2">aan>ll drean class="hi2">aan>ms an class="hi2">aan>nd includes the rean class="hi2">aan>l world an class="hi2">aan>nd the physican class="hi2">aan>l. Within this, christ vision shows you this world an class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ving NO FORMS, while the BODY shows you this world an class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ving solid forms.
There an class="hi2">aan>re no objects or bodies in the rean class="hi2">aan>l world. If you see bodies your mind is in judgement an class="hi2">aan>nd is stan class="hi2">aan>rting to sin, can class="hi2">aan>using you to see bodies man class="hi2">aan>de of sin. "Only if there were an class="hi2">aan> body is sin possible." "It is impossible to see an class="hi2">aan> sinless body." Christ Vision does not see the body an class="hi2">Aan>T an class="hi2">Aan>LL, becan class="hi2">aan>use innocence ERan class="hi2">Aan>SES the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion idean class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd bodies an class="hi2">aan>re incompan class="hi2">aan>tible with innocence.
Essentian class="hi2">aan>lly, the belief in ego can class="hi2">aan>uses your spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye to close, your mind to shut down, your perception to an class="hi2">Aan>TUNE to the body's frequency of perman class="hi2">aan>nent Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE perception, which shows ONLY an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse world, an class="hi2">aan>nd then you will han class="hi2">aan>ve visions of hell. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the world will now seem upsetting an class="hi2">aan>nd threan class="hi2">aan>tening an class="hi2">aan>nd dan class="hi2">aan>rk an class="hi2">aan>nd dan class="hi2">aan>ngerous, an class="hi2">aan>nd not deserving of forgiveness.
THe whole purpose of the body wan class="hi2">aan>s to an class="hi2">aan>ccomplish this, such than class="hi2">aan>t if the mind were to believe than class="hi2">aan>t it is ONLY an class="hi2">aan> body, an class="hi2">aan> perception of hell would ensue. "Only the body man class="hi2">aan>kes the world seem rean class="hi2">aan>l" tells you than class="hi2">aan>t if you tune INTO the body level of sight, physican class="hi2">aan>l sight, an class="hi2">aan>nd believe it, the world WILL seem to be the ONLY rean class="hi2">aan>lity. It will tan class="hi2">aan>ke on grean class="hi2">aan>ter solidity, firmness, tan class="hi2">aan>ngibility an class="hi2">aan>nd intensity.
"Be not deceived by the illusions it presents of size an class="hi2">aan>nd thickness, weight, solidity, an class="hi2">aan>nd firmness of foundan class="hi2">aan>tion. Yes, to the body's eyes it looks like an class="hi2">aan>n enormous, solid body, immovan class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>s is an class="hi2">aan> mountan class="hi2">aan>in."
"Sin is an class="hi2">aan> block" ... "The body's eyes behold it an class="hi2">aan>s solid gran class="hi2">aan>nite"
"Yet how can class="hi2">aan>n sight which stops an class="hi2">aan>t nothingness, an class="hi2">aan>s if it were an class="hi2">aan> solid wan class="hi2">aan>ll, see truly? It is HELD Ban class="hi2">Aan>CK by form, han class="hi2">aan>ving been man class="hi2">aan>de to guan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ntee than class="hi2">aan>t nothing else but form will be perceived. These eyes, man class="hi2">aan>de NOT to see, will NEVER see."
"See how the body's eyes rest on externan class="hi2">aan>ls, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>nnot go beyond. Wan class="hi2">aan>tch how they stop an class="hi2">aan>t nothingness, unan class="hi2">aan>ble to go beyond the form to mean class="hi2">aan>ning."
If you tune into body identifican class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan> belief in sin, fean class="hi2">aan>r, or an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of denian class="hi2">aan>l of rean class="hi2">aan>lity, an class="hi2">aan>ny form of judgement or egoic an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to defend an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst God, you will nan class="hi2">aan>rrow your focus an class="hi2">aan>nd isolan class="hi2">aan>te to an class="hi2">aan> body, can class="hi2">aan>using you to see more exclusively through its eyes, an class="hi2">aan>nd project onto its iman class="hi2">aan>ges hean class="hi2">aan>vy judgements of sin an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt, which will turn the body's iman class="hi2">aan>ges into visions of hell an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>l suffering.
If you tune out of the body, into spirit, an class="hi2">aan>nd into the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye, you tune out of body perceptions. Out of fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception. Physican class="hi2">aan>l sight becomes de-emphan class="hi2">aan>sized, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is given less credit. Thus whan class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s seen an class="hi2">aan>s the physican class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l world through the body's eyes begins to be seen an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> tran class="hi2">aan>nspan class="hi2">aan>rent, thin veil, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>vy solid surfan class="hi2">aan>ce of man class="hi2">aan>tter.
"The world stan class="hi2">aan>nds like an class="hi2">aan> block before Christ's fan class="hi2">aan>ce. But true perception looks on it an class="hi2">aan>s nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n just an class="hi2">aan> fran class="hi2">aan>gile veil, so ean class="hi2">aan>sily dispelled than class="hi2">aan>t it can class="hi2">aan>n lan class="hi2">aan>st no longer than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>n instan class="hi2">aan>nt."
"Its thinness an class="hi2">aan>nd tran class="hi2">aan>nspan class="hi2">aan>rency an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rent, until you see the light BEHIND it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd then you see it an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> fran class="hi2">aan>gile veil, before the light."
"For there is light where dan class="hi2">aan>rkness wan class="hi2">aan>s before, an class="hi2">aan>nd now the veil is lifted from his sight."
"an class="hi2">Aan>ccept the one illusion which proclan class="hi2">aan>ims there is no condemnan class="hi2">aan>tion in God's Son, an class="hi2">aan>nd Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is remembered instan class="hi2">aan>ntly; the world forgotten, an class="hi2">aan>ll its weird beliefs forgotten with it, an class="hi2">aan>s the Fan class="hi2">aan>ce of Christ an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs unveiled an class="hi2">aan>t lan class="hi2">aan>st in this one drean class="hi2">aan>m. This is the gift the Holy Spirit holds for you from God your Fan class="hi2">aan>ther."
an class="hi2">Aan>s you tune into the ran class="hi2">aan>dio stan class="hi2">aan>tion of the rean class="hi2">aan>l world, you tune out of the ran class="hi2">aan>dio stan class="hi2">aan>tion of the physican class="hi2">aan>l world of forms. Christ enters your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan>nd the world of bodies lean class="hi2">aan>ves. "The world of bodies is the world of sin". an class="hi2">Aan>s your belief in sin lean class="hi2">aan>ves, so does the world of sin.
In the tran class="hi2">aan>nsition, temporan class="hi2">aan>rily there is an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>llel of utilizing the body's sight in pan class="hi2">aan>rt, an class="hi2">aan>nd the spirituan class="hi2">aan>l eye in pan class="hi2">aan>rt. These an class="hi2">aan>re occurring simultan class="hi2">aan>neously. This can class="hi2">aan>uses the physican class="hi2">aan>l world to still be seen, up to an class="hi2">aan> point (before christ's fan class="hi2">aan>ce is unveiled) but an class="hi2">aan>ll the judgement an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt an class="hi2">aan>re lifted an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from this iman class="hi2">aan>ge of an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ke world.

Again, why A Course in Miracles is not non-duality

Most people han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> of whan class="hi2">aan>t duan class="hi2">aan>lity mean class="hi2">aan>ns. Usuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> world of man class="hi2">aan>ny sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te things. Sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te objects, sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te bodies. an class="hi2">Aan> count beyond one.
This however isn't an class="hi2">aan> full enough definition. Duan class="hi2">aan>lity is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of NOT SHan class="hi2">Aan>RING. It's an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind in which you do not wan class="hi2">aan>nt to be joined with, shan class="hi2">aan>re with, or han class="hi2">aan>ve relan class="hi2">aan>tionship with, an class="hi2">aan>nything or an class="hi2">aan>nyone. It's an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of selfishness, therefore, becan class="hi2">aan>use it opposes shan class="hi2">aan>ring. It produces isolan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd disconnection. The ego thought system - the world of duan class="hi2">aan>lity - is an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>bout selfishness.
"Selfishness is of the ego" T-7.IX.1:4
If duan class="hi2">aan>lity rean class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns selfishness, whan class="hi2">aan>t is the opposite of selfishness? It is shan class="hi2">aan>ring. But this requires than class="hi2">aan>t there be someone or something to shan class="hi2">aan>re WITH. It can class="hi2">aan>nnot mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t there is only you there, or only God. It an class="hi2">aan>lso requires than class="hi2">aan>t in an class="hi2">aan>bsolute rean class="hi2">aan>lity, in God, there must be something other than class="hi2">aan>n JUST God, such an class="hi2">aan>s your brothers, to shan class="hi2">aan>re with. For exan class="hi2">aan>mple:
"You dwell in the Mind of God with your brother, for God Himself did not will to be an class="hi2">aan>lone." T-11.I.1:6
"Becan class="hi2">aan>use He did not will to be an class="hi2">aan>lone, He crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan> Son like Himself." T-11.I.5:7
God wan class="hi2">aan>nted to shan class="hi2">aan>re himself. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct we're an class="hi2">aan>lso told than class="hi2">aan>t SHan class="hi2">Aan>RING is the nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l inherent property of rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
"Nothing rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>n be increan class="hi2">aan>sed except by shan class="hi2">aan>ring. ³Than class="hi2">aan>t is why God crean class="hi2">aan>ted you. ⁴Divine an class="hi2">Aan>bstran class="hi2">aan>ction tan class="hi2">aan>kes joy in shan class="hi2">aan>ring. ⁵Than class="hi2">aan>t is whan class="hi2">aan>t crean class="hi2">aan>tion mean class="hi2">aan>ns." T-4.VII.5:2-5
We're told in an class="hi2">Aan>CIM itself, putting an class="hi2">aan>side an class="hi2">aan>ll interpretan class="hi2">aan>tions by other well-mean class="hi2">aan>ning tean class="hi2">aan>chers an class="hi2">aan>nd students, in Jesus's words, than class="hi2">aan>t God did NOT will to be the "only thing than class="hi2">aan>t exists". He did not will to be an class="hi2">aan>lone. He willed than class="hi2">aan>t there be an class="hi2">Aan>NOTHER, an class="hi2">aan>nd CREan class="hi2">Aan>TED an class="hi2">aan>t the very lean class="hi2">aan>st one son.
He even goes on to san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t God not ONLY willed to crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st one son, this son an class="hi2">Aan>LSO han class="hi2">aan>s the an class="hi2">aan>bility to crean class="hi2">aan>te its own sons.
"God would not han class="hi2">aan>ve us be an class="hi2">aan>lone becan class="hi2">aan>use _He_ does not will to be an class="hi2">aan>lone. ⁷Than class="hi2">aan>t is why He crean class="hi2">aan>ted His Son, an class="hi2">aan>nd gan class="hi2">aan>ve him the power to crean class="hi2">aan>te with Him. ⁸Our crean class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>s holy an class="hi2">aan>s we an class="hi2">aan>re, an class="hi2">aan>nd we an class="hi2">aan>re the Sons of God Himself, an class="hi2">aan>s holy an class="hi2">aan>s He is." T-8.VI.8:6-8
Note an class="hi2">aan>lso than class="hi2">aan>t it clean class="hi2">aan>rly stan class="hi2">aan>tes than class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s SONS, not just one.
"The crean class="hi2">aan>tions of every Son of God an class="hi2">aan>re yours, since every crean class="hi2">aan>tion belongs to everyone, being crean class="hi2">aan>ted for the Sonship an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> whole." T-7.IX.5:3
"The Kingdom of God includes an class="hi2">aan>ll His Sons an class="hi2">aan>nd their children, who an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>s like the Sons an class="hi2">aan>s they an class="hi2">aan>re like the Fan class="hi2">aan>ther. ¹¹Know, then, the Sons of God, an class="hi2">aan>nd you will know an class="hi2">aan>ll crean class="hi2">aan>tion." T-7.XI.7:10-11
It's quite simply stan class="hi2">aan>ting than class="hi2">aan>t God not only crean class="hi2">aan>ted man class="hi2">aan>ny children, but than class="hi2">aan>t even those children in turn go on to crean class="hi2">aan>te more children. The Sons of God form the sonship, which shan class="hi2">aan>res the One Mind of Christ. an class="hi2">Aan>nd collectively an class="hi2">aan>s the One Son, we an class="hi2">aan>ll co-crean class="hi2">aan>te with God to produce our own crean class="hi2">aan>tions.
This is in fan class="hi2">aan>ct why Jesus refers to us an class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ving BROTHERS. The term brother mean class="hi2">aan>ns an class="hi2">aan>n equan class="hi2">aan>l sibling of the san class="hi2">aan>me pan class="hi2">aan>rent. Becan class="hi2">aan>use God did not will to be an class="hi2">aan>lone, an class="hi2">aan>nd did not will us to be an class="hi2">aan>lone, he crean class="hi2">aan>ted Man class="hi2">Aan>NY OF US, so than class="hi2">aan>t we would han class="hi2">aan>ve perman class="hi2">aan>nent brothers IN hean class="hi2">aan>ven forever.
"Return with me to Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, wan class="hi2">aan>lking together with your brother out of this world an class="hi2">aan>nd through an class="hi2">aan>nother, to the loveliness an class="hi2">aan>nd joy the other holds within it." T-18.I.12:4)
"Here stan class="hi2">aan>nds your brother with the key to Hean class="hi2">aan>ven in his han class="hi2">aan>nd, held out to you. T-24.II.7:6"
There is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan> holy trinity in rean class="hi2">aan>lity. God the fan class="hi2">aan>ther, the Sonship an class="hi2">aan>s the One Son comprising man class="hi2">aan>ny sons an class="hi2">aan>nd their crean class="hi2">aan>tions, an class="hi2">aan>nd the Holy Spirit. These an class="hi2">aan>re not conceptuan class="hi2">aan>l or ego inventions, they an class="hi2">aan>re perman class="hi2">aan>nent.
"The Son of God is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the Holy Trinity" T-3.II.5:4 "Your crean class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>re your gift to the Holy Trinity, crean class="hi2">aan>ted in gran class="hi2">aan>titude for your crean class="hi2">aan>tion." T-8.VI.5:3)
The Holy Spirit is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan> perman class="hi2">aan>nent eternan class="hi2">aan>l crean class="hi2">aan>tion who will continue to exist an class="hi2">aan>long with the man class="hi2">aan>ny sons even an class="hi2">Aan>FTER the an class="hi2">aan>tonement.
"When the an class="hi2">Aan>tonement is complete an class="hi2">aan>nd the whole Sonship is hean class="hi2">aan>led there will be no Can class="hi2">aan>ll to return. ⁶But whan class="hi2">aan>t God crean class="hi2">aan>tes is eternan class="hi2">aan>l. ⁷The Holy Spirit will reman class="hi2">aan>in with the Sons of God, to bless their crean class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>nd keep them in the light of joy." T-5.I.5:5-7
So whan class="hi2">aan>t we han class="hi2">aan>ve now is in fan class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan> more fleshed out picture. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, God's rean class="hi2">aan>lity, comprises God, the Holy Spirit, the Sonshsip, which form the trinity. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the Sonship includes man class="hi2">aan>ny sons, an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ny crean class="hi2">aan>tions of man class="hi2">aan>ny sons, who an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lso brothers. By the wan class="hi2">aan>y there an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ngels an class="hi2">aan>s well, crean class="hi2">aan>ted by God.
Now, such an class="hi2">aan> picture does not sound remotely like "non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity." Someone can class="hi2">aan>me up with non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ntithesis to duan class="hi2">aan>lity, purely an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> conceptuan class="hi2">aan>l idean class="hi2">aan>. It's an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to try to explan class="hi2">aan>in whan class="hi2">aan>t the course is san class="hi2">aan>ying. Except than class="hi2">aan>t, it doesn't quite fit.
It fits in the sense than class="hi2">aan>t it man class="hi2">aan>y describe God himself, IF God were an class="hi2">aan>lone an class="hi2">aan>nd willed to be an class="hi2">aan>lone. an class="hi2">Aan>s an class="hi2">aan> LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>L DEVICE, opposite to "man class="hi2">aan>ny" mean class="hi2">aan>ns "one", an class="hi2">aan> count of one. This is whan class="hi2">aan>t non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity logican class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns. There an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>ny flan class="hi2">aan>ky an class="hi2">aan>nd wishywan class="hi2">aan>shy definitions out there which han class="hi2">aan>ve tried to glue toegether pieces of the course to man class="hi2">aan>ke it fit with this, but the PUREST form of non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity is than class="hi2">aan>t "there is literan class="hi2">aan>lly only God."
This obviously does not FIT with whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>CIM san class="hi2">aan>ys, becan class="hi2">aan>use it's told us than class="hi2">aan>t God is an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tor, than class="hi2">aan>t he han class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st one child if not man class="hi2">aan>ny, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t his child han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>s its own children. Not to mention an class="hi2">aan>lso the holy spirit being crean class="hi2">aan>ted, an class="hi2">aan>nd the trinity existing. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of this is not properly encompan class="hi2">aan>ssed by the concept of non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity.
Some people like non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity idean class="hi2">aan>s becan class="hi2">aan>use they seem to suggest the an class="hi2">aan>ntithesis to "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>teness". an class="hi2">Aan>s if it is the opposite of ego, the opposite of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd the wan class="hi2">aan>y to undo an class="hi2">aan>ll tran class="hi2">aan>ce of the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God. But this is VERY Ban class="hi2">Aan>SIC logic an class="hi2">aan>nd highly inan class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te in its representan class="hi2">aan>tion of whan class="hi2">aan>t JESUS an class="hi2">Aan>CTUan class="hi2">Aan>LLY san class="hi2">aan>ys.
The purest non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity does not support God being an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tor, or God shan class="hi2">aan>ring, or God han class="hi2">aan>ving relan class="hi2">aan>tionships, or God han class="hi2">aan>ving even ONE son, or of God crean class="hi2">aan>ting the Holy Spirit, or of YOU existing, or of you han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan>ny crean class="hi2">aan>tions. It doesn't even an class="hi2">aan>llow for hean class="hi2">aan>ven to exist. an class="hi2">Aan>ll it does is reduce God to an class="hi2">aan> singulan class="hi2">aan>r blob, an class="hi2">aan> very lonely isolan class="hi2">aan>ted blob, which sits there an class="hi2">aan>ll by itself doing nothing. Than class="hi2">aan>t is NOT whan class="hi2">aan>t God is like an class="hi2">aan>ccording to an class="hi2">Aan>CIM itself.
The problem is than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>ny people han class="hi2">aan>ve lan class="hi2">aan>tched onto this non-duan class="hi2">aan>lity "concept" an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve tried to FORCE the course to fit into it, becan class="hi2">aan>use they don't han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> better OR more an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te model. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in man class="hi2">aan>ny can class="hi2">aan>ses an class="hi2">aan>lso becan class="hi2">aan>use they don't recognize the shortcomings of this concept.
It's ean class="hi2">aan>sy for an class="hi2">aan>nyone to san class="hi2">aan>y, well, if I get rid of an class="hi2">aan>ll the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tions which implied "man class="hi2">aan>ny things", then I will get down to "one thing", an class="hi2">aan>nd this is oneness, an class="hi2">aan>nd it must be whan class="hi2">aan>t rean class="hi2">aan>lity is like. Except than class="hi2">aan>t, it isn't. Not by an class="hi2">aan> long shot.
Not an class="hi2">aan>ccording to whan class="hi2">aan>t Jesus han class="hi2">aan>s san class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>bout God an class="hi2">Aan>DDING to himself, an class="hi2">aan>nd SHan class="hi2">Aan>RING himself, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ving REan class="hi2">Aan>L relan class="hi2">aan>tionship with his Son, an class="hi2">aan>nd Han class="hi2">Aan>VING an class="hi2">aan> son, an class="hi2">aan>nd CO-CREan class="hi2">Aan>TING with him. Jesus's definition of ONENESS is not whan class="hi2">aan>t you think it is. It is not the everydan class="hi2">aan>y definition. It's more to do with an class="hi2">aan> SHan class="hi2">Aan>RED WHOLENESS between two beings.

Being a channel for God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit

an class="hi2">Aan>s an class="hi2">aan> child of God, God han class="hi2">aan>s plan class="hi2">aan>ced himself in you, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n extension of his mind, will an class="hi2">aan>nd power. You don't rean class="hi2">aan>lly "han class="hi2">aan>ve" an class="hi2">aan>nything "of your own", or exclusive to you, becan class="hi2">aan>use everything God gives is given to everyone equan class="hi2">aan>lly. But you do nevertheless han class="hi2">aan>ve everything than class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s given to you, just an class="hi2">aan>s everyone does. Which mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve inherited from him his mind, will an class="hi2">aan>nd power.
"To san class="hi2">aan>y, "Of myself I can class="hi2">aan>n do nothing" is to gan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>ll power. an class="hi2">Aan>nd yet it is but an class="hi2">aan> seeming pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>dox. an class="hi2">Aan>s God crean class="hi2">aan>ted you, you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ll power."
When this power is interpreted an class="hi2">aan>s belonging ONLY to you, then you an class="hi2">aan>re trying to han class="hi2">aan>ve it for your own, excluding others, which cuts you off from God, an class="hi2">aan>nd disan class="hi2">aan>bles the power. When it is interpreted an class="hi2">aan>s belonging to everyone, an class="hi2">aan>nd being FROM God, FOR you, an class="hi2">aan>nd FOR everyone, it is regan class="hi2">aan>ined an class="hi2">aan>nd you become an class="hi2">aan>ll powerful.
"I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id but an class="hi2">aan>ll powerful."
"The miran class="hi2">aan>cle-worker begins by PERCEIVING light, an class="hi2">aan>nd tran class="hi2">aan>nslan class="hi2">aan>tes HIS perception into sureness by continuan class="hi2">aan>lly extending it, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPTING ITS an class="hi2">Aan>CKNOWLEDGMENT. Its EFFECTS an class="hi2">aan>ssure him IT IS THERE. The theran class="hi2">aan>pist does not hean class="hi2">aan>l; he LETS HEan class="hi2">Aan>LING BE. HE can class="hi2">aan>n point to dan class="hi2">aan>rkness, but he Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT bring light OF HIMSELF, for light is NOT of him. But being FOR him, it MUST be for his pan class="hi2">aan>tient."
Whan class="hi2">aan>t this mean class="hi2">aan>ns is than class="hi2">aan>t in the "an class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>ngement" of how you an class="hi2">aan>re "set up" in terms of relan class="hi2">aan>tionship to God, function, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t you must give, God han class="hi2">aan>s plan class="hi2">aan>ced himself in you, an class="hi2">aan>nd now you han class="hi2">aan>ve everything than class="hi2">aan>t is OF or from God, an class="hi2">aan>s yours, but only so long an class="hi2">aan>s you shan class="hi2">aan>re it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in order to han class="hi2">aan>ve it you han class="hi2">aan>ve to give it, an class="hi2">aan>nd to shan class="hi2">aan>re it it must be extended. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so now the love than class="hi2">aan>t is given to you from God, is given through you, by YOU pan class="hi2">aan>rticipan class="hi2">aan>ting in its extension, by expressing the love than class="hi2">aan>t is yours - which is an class="hi2">aan>lso his.
So it's kind of like an class="hi2">aan> "pan class="hi2">aan>y it forwan class="hi2">aan>rd" kind of thing, where God gives love an class="hi2">aan>nd power an class="hi2">aan>nd will an class="hi2">aan>nd miran class="hi2">aan>cles to you, then you in turn pan class="hi2">aan>ss on an class="hi2">aan>nd give an class="hi2">aan>nd shan class="hi2">aan>re the love an class="hi2">aan>nd power an class="hi2">aan>nd miran class="hi2">aan>cles to others.
"Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> universan class="hi2">aan>l blessing (for an class="hi2">aan>ll) from God, through me (christ, sonship) to an class="hi2">aan>ll my brothers."
God loves you. You love your brothers an class="hi2">aan>nd your crean class="hi2">aan>tions. Similan class="hi2">aan>rly...
"Through pran class="hi2">aan>yer love is received. Through miran class="hi2">aan>cles love is expressed."
This mean class="hi2">aan>ns fan class="hi2">aan>irly simply than class="hi2">aan>t you need to "express God" ie to express love. Which is why "Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>re expressions of love." Or an class="hi2">aan>s Jesus often san class="hi2">aan>ys to me, "shine". Shine the light than class="hi2">aan>t is in you, give it, shan class="hi2">aan>re it, express it, pan class="hi2">aan>ss it on, so than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>cknowlege than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd thus by expressing it, it flows into you.
If you think you don't han class="hi2">aan>ve love to express, becan class="hi2">aan>use you don't love enough, or feel lan class="hi2">aan>cking or deprived, there is an class="hi2">aan> simple fix. Stan class="hi2">aan>rt loving an class="hi2">aan>nywan class="hi2">aan>y, try to push the love out, feel it coming out of you, send it to someone, even if it's just an class="hi2">aan> little bit.
You'll find than class="hi2">aan>t this "unclogs the pipes" an class="hi2">aan>nd gets the juices flowing. an class="hi2">Aan>s you do this, you an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly stan class="hi2">aan>rt to RECEIVE more love, hean class="hi2">aan>ven comes to help you, an class="hi2">aan>nd you stan class="hi2">aan>rt to get hean class="hi2">aan>led an class="hi2">aan>s well. an class="hi2">Aan>s you give hean class="hi2">aan>ling you an class="hi2">aan>re hean class="hi2">aan>led.
"I will hean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>s I let him tean class="hi2">aan>ch me to hean class="hi2">aan>l."
So in an class="hi2">aan> sense, we an class="hi2">aan>re sort of "chan class="hi2">aan>nnels" for God. But being an class="hi2">aan> chan class="hi2">aan>nnel for God doesn't entan class="hi2">aan>il stran class="hi2">aan>nge tran class="hi2">aan>nce stan class="hi2">aan>tes or going unconscious or han class="hi2">aan>ving your body be possessed. You can class="hi2">aan>n reman class="hi2">aan>in fully an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>nd pan class="hi2">aan>rticipan class="hi2">aan>tory, shining an class="hi2">aan> light, joined with God, in which both of you shine together. This is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the an class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>ngement of you being an class="hi2">aan> co-crean class="hi2">aan>tor with God. You crean class="hi2">aan>te in pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>llel, you love in pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>llel, you hean class="hi2">aan>l in pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>llel.

But it can class="hi2">aan>n be difficult to recognize than class="hi2">aan>t someone's an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck is an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>ll for love. It does not seem to tan class="hi2">aan>ke the form of "plean class="hi2">aan>se love me" or "I need love". Usuan class="hi2">aan>lly it tan class="hi2">aan>kes the form of inciting counter-an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, lan class="hi2">aan>den with temptan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd conflict.
Especian class="hi2">aan>lly for exan class="hi2">aan>mple if someone is using your nan class="hi2">aan>me, using an class="hi2">aan>ttributing words like "you", pointing an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l finger, looking an class="hi2">aan>t you in an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in wan class="hi2">aan>y, or doing something than class="hi2">aan>t seems to be an class="hi2">aan>ffecting you. It an class="hi2">aan>ll seems to be an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y to an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to san class="hi2">aan>y "its an class="hi2">aan>bout you" or "its your fan class="hi2">aan>ult" or than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking YOU, not themselves.
Can class="hi2">aan>n you recognize than class="hi2">aan>t this is them expressing "I need more love becan class="hi2">aan>use I'm lan class="hi2">aan>cking love", when everything they an class="hi2">aan>re expressing an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>t first to be murderous an class="hi2">aan>nd unloving? When they seem to present an class="hi2">aan> picture of "I do not love you", which is the san class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>s "I do not wan class="hi2">aan>nt love", how do you see it an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>ll to be loved?
It's fan class="hi2">aan>irly an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te to san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>lmost everyone on the plan class="hi2">aan>net is sick in the mind an class="hi2">aan>nd body. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t isn't an class="hi2">aan>n overestiman class="hi2">aan>te.
an class="hi2">Aan>nyone who is not being completely loving is not in their right mind. an class="hi2">Aan>nyone an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking is not in their right mind. No-one in their right mind would do an class="hi2">aan>nything other than class="hi2">aan>n love, becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re one with you an class="hi2">aan>nd to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck you would an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck themselves. No san class="hi2">aan>ne person would ever trean class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nyone else in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y other than class="hi2">aan>n lovingly. So if someone is not being wholly loving, they an class="hi2">aan>re sick.
The problem with this sickness is than class="hi2">aan>t the person's mind is in denian class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness is blocked, an class="hi2">aan>nd they an class="hi2">aan>re unconscious, they don't rean class="hi2">aan>lize whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re doing otherwise they wouldn't do it.
Only someone who is unan class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of the consequences of their an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to can class="hi2">aan>use effects in someone else an class="hi2">aan>nd not themselves, would proceed to do it. It's an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to get an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y with murder, which is the whole ego system of thought - than class="hi2">aan>t something is true of an class="hi2">aan>nother than class="hi2">aan>t is different than class="hi2">aan>n whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>pplies to you.
So now their mind is denying their own light, they han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked themselves, they an class="hi2">aan>re guilty an class="hi2">aan>nd sinful an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id, an class="hi2">aan>nd now they an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>cting out. an class="hi2">Aan>lmost certan class="hi2">aan>inly they an class="hi2">aan>re projecting onto scan class="hi2">aan>pegoan class="hi2">aan>ts an class="hi2">aan>nd looking for an class="hi2">aan> tan class="hi2">aan>rget to crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of an class="hi2">aan>llevian class="hi2">aan>ting their suffering. To try to escan class="hi2">aan>pe from the responsibility of owning whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re doing to themselves. an class="hi2">Aan>nd by being in denian class="hi2">aan>l they do not rean class="hi2">aan>lly seem to wan class="hi2">aan>nt help, though deep down they do.
So whan class="hi2">aan>t is your role now? Fan class="hi2">aan>ced with an class="hi2">aan> world full of mentan class="hi2">aan>lly-ill an class="hi2">aan>nd physican class="hi2">aan>lly expressive nut jobs, how do you respond? The Holy Spirit would han class="hi2">aan>ve you respond with love an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll times. He would san class="hi2">aan>y, well, these people, they an class="hi2">aan>re forgivean class="hi2">aan>ble becan class="hi2">aan>use they literan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re doing. They an class="hi2">aan>re insan class="hi2">aan>ne. No-one san class="hi2">aan>ne would an class="hi2">aan>ct this wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>nd no-one san class="hi2">aan>ne would an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan> brother. So if they're doing than class="hi2">aan>t, they an class="hi2">aan>re insan class="hi2">aan>ne an class="hi2">aan>nd need help.
The only help than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n work is to fix the problem. The problem is the person is blocking love an class="hi2">aan>nd so seems to be lan class="hi2">aan>cking love. Whan class="hi2">aan>t they need therefore is love. Love is the only thing than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n be supplied to correct the only thing than class="hi2">aan>t's lan class="hi2">aan>cking. If someone is not being loving they an class="hi2">aan>re believing in an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck or an class="hi2">aan>bsence of love, an class="hi2">aan>nd the presence or supply of this love is the only remedy. This is why expressions of love an class="hi2">aan>re miran class="hi2">aan>culous an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n cure.
So in an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y we han class="hi2">aan>ve to lean class="hi2">aan>rn, to refran class="hi2">aan>me everything we see han class="hi2">aan>ppening, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll expressions coming from people. Either they an class="hi2">aan>re being christly an class="hi2">aan>nd loving, in recognition than class="hi2">aan>t than class="hi2">aan>t is their rean class="hi2">aan>l self, OR they an class="hi2">aan>re being unconscious, lost in the ego, lan class="hi2">aan>cking love, an class="hi2">aan>re mentan class="hi2">aan>lly ill an class="hi2">aan>nd need hean class="hi2">aan>ling. Being in denian class="hi2">aan>l they DO NOT KNOW whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re doing an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken.
If we can class="hi2">aan>n remember than class="hi2">aan>t people an class="hi2">aan>re "not being themselves", than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re "sick" an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re doing or why, an class="hi2">aan>nd if we can class="hi2">aan>n remember than class="hi2">aan>t they WOULD NOT an class="hi2">aan>ct this wan class="hi2">aan>y if they were hean class="hi2">aan>led an class="hi2">aan>nd whole, this man class="hi2">aan>kes it ean class="hi2">aan>sier to not "hold it an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst them", tan class="hi2">aan>ke it personan class="hi2">aan>lly, think of it an class="hi2">aan>s true or serious, an class="hi2">aan>nd helps you to stan class="hi2">aan>y out of the ego response.
Rean class="hi2">aan>lly this is whan class="hi2">aan>t forgiveness is an class="hi2">aan>bout. Fan class="hi2">aan>ced with an class="hi2">aan>n insan class="hi2">aan>ne an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking ego-driven person, we need to OVERLOOK an class="hi2">aan>ll of these an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces an class="hi2">aan>nd remember the person's divinity, which is hidden behind their can class="hi2">aan>ll for love, which is showing up an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>ll to be unloved. They seem to Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT to be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked, they seem to Wan class="hi2">Aan>NT suffering, but this is only becan class="hi2">aan>use they han class="hi2">aan>ve rejected the very thing than class="hi2">aan>t would give them the san class="hi2">aan>nity to man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> wiser choice.
We han class="hi2">aan>ve to lan class="hi2">aan>ugh an class="hi2">aan>t people's insan class="hi2">aan>ne behan class="hi2">aan>vior becan class="hi2">aan>use it's not rean class="hi2">aan>lly true of them. This is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of rean class="hi2">aan>lizing this is just an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>nd the nutjobs it's populan class="hi2">aan>ted with don't even know they an class="hi2">aan>re drean class="hi2">aan>ming. No-one in their right mind would deliberan class="hi2">aan>tely be unloving. Their lan class="hi2">aan>ck of love is sickness than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to an class="hi2">aan>sk for love to be withheld but is mistan class="hi2">aan>ken in than class="hi2">aan>t request. Whan class="hi2">aan>t they rean class="hi2">aan>lly wan class="hi2">aan>nt an class="hi2">aan>nd need is love. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this love han class="hi2">aan>s to overlook an class="hi2">aan>nd shine pan class="hi2">aan>st an class="hi2">aan>ll of these obstan class="hi2">aan>cles.
Not just for their benefit, but an class="hi2">aan>lso to keep your own mind san class="hi2">aan>ne. Becan class="hi2">aan>use if you yourself han class="hi2">aan>ve stopped being loving an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve slipped into rean class="hi2">aan>ctions, counter an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cks, tan class="hi2">aan>king it personan class="hi2">aan>lly or seriously, being tempted or distran class="hi2">aan>cted to engan class="hi2">aan>ge their ego, then you now an class="hi2">aan>lso han class="hi2">aan>ve joined the ran class="hi2">aan>nks of the insan class="hi2">aan>ne an class="hi2">aan>nd you yourself now need hean class="hi2">aan>ling an class="hi2">aan>s well.

We were born into an class="hi2">aan>n illusion in which an class="hi2">aan>ll of the inhan class="hi2">aan>bitan class="hi2">aan>nts believe the illusion is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>l plan class="hi2">aan>ce.

an class="hi2">Aan>nd then we got older an class="hi2">aan>nd went to work an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> job or stan class="hi2">aan>rted an class="hi2">aan> compan class="hi2">aan>ny or received money some other wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>nd thought than class="hi2">aan>t this wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ll importan class="hi2">aan>nt an class="hi2">aan>nd necessan class="hi2">aan>ry becan class="hi2">aan>use the world wan class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l. an class="hi2">Aan>nd ban class="hi2">aan>d things han class="hi2">aan>ppened an class="hi2">aan>nd we went through struggles an class="hi2">aan>nd horrors an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>r becan class="hi2">aan>use it an class="hi2">aan>ll seemed to rean class="hi2">aan>l.
But this world is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion.
We entered into an class="hi2">aan> gian class="hi2">aan>nt illusion where everyone believes it's not rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n illusion. Where everyone tan class="hi2">aan>kes it seriously. Where were live in constan class="hi2">aan>nt fean class="hi2">aan>r solely becan class="hi2">aan>use we look an class="hi2">aan>t this illusion without recognizing it is just an class="hi2">aan> ban class="hi2">aan>d drean class="hi2">aan>m. We think it's rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening. Rean class="hi2">aan>l people seem to be getting hurt. Rean class="hi2">aan>l people seem to be han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan>mbitions an class="hi2">aan>nd purposes an class="hi2">aan>nd things to san class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>nd do. Rean class="hi2">aan>l stuff seems to occur which nobody seems to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to prevent. an class="hi2">Aan>nd then an class="hi2">aan>ll this rean class="hi2">aan>l stuff seems to rean class="hi2">aan>lly die. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it's just horrifying. IF you believe it's rean class="hi2">aan>l.
You can class="hi2">aan>n' help but be an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id, an class="hi2">aan>s Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys, if you believe an class="hi2">aan>n illusion is rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Every illusion is frightening becan class="hi2">aan>use it clan class="hi2">aan>ims something is true of God an class="hi2">aan>nd of you which an class="hi2">aan>re not true. an class="hi2">Aan>nd IF they WERE true, they would be horrifying. It would be horrifying if it were true than class="hi2">aan>t you were sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from God, stuck in an class="hi2">aan> body, wan class="hi2">aan>iting to die, rean class="hi2">aan>dy to suffer, han class="hi2">aan>ving to fight to stan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>live, suffering an class="hi2">aan>long the wan class="hi2">aan>y, only to end in the gran class="hi2">aan>ve with nothing to show for it. Of course than class="hi2">aan>t's frightening IF it's rean class="hi2">aan>l.
But this world is not rean class="hi2">aan>l.
If you an class="hi2">aan>re going to progress with an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>t some point you will han class="hi2">aan>ve to stan class="hi2">aan>rt to rean class="hi2">aan>lly be open to the possibility than class="hi2">aan>t EVERYTHING in this world is an class="hi2">aan>n ILLUSION, an class="hi2">aan>nd it is not rean class="hi2">aan>l.

It fran class="hi2">aan>mes everything very differently.
If it's an class="hi2">aan>n illusion than class="hi2">aan>t someone just broke their leg, then there is nothing to be upset an class="hi2">aan>bout. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the leg can class="hi2">aan>n be ean class="hi2">aan>sily reconfigured an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> new leg an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result of the strength of knowing than class="hi2">aan>t broken legs an class="hi2">aan>re illusions. If we knew the world wan class="hi2">aan>s not rean class="hi2">aan>l, we would han class="hi2">aan>ve NO REan class="hi2">Aan>SON to be an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id, or upset, or guilty, or suffering. It seems like an class="hi2">aan> tan class="hi2">aan>ll order to question an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely everything you thought wan class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd to consider than class="hi2">aan>t perhan class="hi2">aan>ps it is not rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t therefore it is not the truth, there is no truth TO it, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore it han class="hi2">aan>s no power over you.
The world is not left by dean class="hi2">aan>th, but by truth. It is left by the recognition - the an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness - the true perception - than class="hi2">aan>t this world is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing more. If it is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion it can class="hi2">aan>nnot hold you can class="hi2">aan>ptive. if it is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion, it can class="hi2">aan>nnot han class="hi2">aan>ve rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppened.

This is becan class="hi2">aan>use everything in this world is not an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> world.

The ego is just a mechanical device you made

Your ego is an class="hi2">aan> device, an class="hi2">aan> kind of man class="hi2">aan>chine, similan class="hi2">aan>r to how your can class="hi2">aan>r is an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>chine.
You designed it to perform in an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>nd to can class="hi2">aan>rry out your instructions.
Just an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>r can class="hi2">aan>n only do whan class="hi2">aan>t it is designed to do, the ego can class="hi2">aan>n only do whan class="hi2">aan>t it is designed to do.
When your can class="hi2">aan>r is doing whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>sk of it, driving you from an class="hi2">Aan> to B, it is fulfilling its function. Similan class="hi2">aan>rly when your ego is doing whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>sked it to do, it is fulfilling its function.
It wan class="hi2">aan>s the ego's function, an class="hi2">aan>s you designed it, to skew an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from God an class="hi2">aan>nd to fixan class="hi2">aan>te on the opposite of God. Its function is to be unforgiving. Its function is murder.
Now, don't expect your ego to can class="hi2">aan>rry out some other function. You wouldn't expect your can class="hi2">aan>r to suddenly stan class="hi2">aan>rt wan class="hi2">aan>shing your dishes an class="hi2">aan>nd cooking dinner. It can class="hi2">aan>n only do whan class="hi2">aan>t it wan class="hi2">aan>s designed to do. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you would be nuts for condemning it for fan class="hi2">aan>iling to come up with an class="hi2">aan> 3-course mean class="hi2">aan>l.
Similan class="hi2">aan>rly with your ego, don't expect it to be not ego. Don't expect it to an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to do an class="hi2">aan>nything other than class="hi2">aan>n it wan class="hi2">aan>s designed to do. It's still can class="hi2">aan>rrying out your orders an class="hi2">aan>nd doing whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nted. It's something you man class="hi2">aan>de, just an class="hi2">aan>s people man class="hi2">aan>ke can class="hi2">aan>rs.
Do you think the ego is ever going to turn an class="hi2">aan>round an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>y "you should an class="hi2">aan>pply forgiveness now", or "god loves you" or "there's nothing to be an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id of"? It's not mean class="hi2">aan>nt to. Than class="hi2">aan>t's not its job function. It's supposed to remind you how sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te you an class="hi2">aan>re from everything an class="hi2">aan>nd how dean class="hi2">aan>th is life an class="hi2">aan>nd how an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck is san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll the rest of it, which it does very well.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n lean class="hi2">aan>rn here is not to be an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id of the ego, becan class="hi2">aan>use it's an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly not 'an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst' you for no rean class="hi2">aan>son. It only seems to be an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst you becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>sked it to be. You designed it to be. an class="hi2">Aan>nd its just doing whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nted an class="hi2">aan>t one point in time. Whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nt now man class="hi2">aan>y be different but the ego, like an class="hi2">aan>n old man class="hi2">aan>chine, is still doing the san class="hi2">aan>me old thing than class="hi2">aan>t old man class="hi2">aan>chines do. They can class="hi2">aan>n't chan class="hi2">aan>nge.
So, in an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y, don't tan class="hi2">aan>ke it personan class="hi2">aan>lly when the ego is retan class="hi2">aan>lian class="hi2">aan>ting or being vicious. Don't think the ego is out to get you or han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> will of its own or power over you. You an class="hi2">aan>re its man class="hi2">aan>ster. an class="hi2">Aan>lso don't think the ego han class="hi2">aan>s some kind of san class="hi2">aan>y or power over you an class="hi2">aan>s if it's deciding 'new things' an class="hi2">aan>bout you. It's an class="hi2">aan> one-tran class="hi2">aan>ck pony. It just keeps on doing whan class="hi2">aan>t the ego does. an class="hi2">Aan>nd since you set than class="hi2">aan>t in motion yourself, it's an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly being very fan class="hi2">aan>ithful, an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ithful servan class="hi2">aan>nt, giving you exan class="hi2">aan>ctly whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>sked it to give you.
So now the ego is not so much your enemy, or necessan class="hi2">aan>rily an class="hi2">aan> friend, but it is an class="hi2">aan> friend in the sense than class="hi2">aan>t it is obedient an class="hi2">aan>nd is doing whan class="hi2">aan>t you man class="hi2">aan>de it to do. Don't be getting an class="hi2">aan>ll up in its fan class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>bout why it's being the wan class="hi2">aan>y it's being, when you're the one who chose it. Recognizing it is serving you helps you to not only be gran class="hi2">aan>teful for the opportunities it presents, but an class="hi2">aan>lso stops you from seeing yourself an class="hi2">aan>s victimized by it.
Man class="hi2">aan>ybe think of it like someone who han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> serious disan class="hi2">aan>bility or mentan class="hi2">aan>l disorder an class="hi2">aan>nd they rean class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>n't help it but keep blurting out swean class="hi2">aan>rwords... an class="hi2">aan>nd so there they go an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in, swean class="hi2">aan>ring, but you understan class="hi2">aan>nd they can class="hi2">aan>n't help it, their body is progran class="hi2">aan>mmed to man class="hi2">aan>ke it han class="hi2">aan>ppen. So then it's not personan class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>nd its forgivan class="hi2">aan>ble becan class="hi2">aan>use they know not whan class="hi2">aan>t they do, an class="hi2">aan>nd you're not an class="hi2">aan> victim of it becan class="hi2">aan>use you understan class="hi2">aan>nd there isn't an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>licious 'will' or intent than class="hi2">aan>t's running this. It's not someone out to get you. It's just an class="hi2">aan> device mechan class="hi2">aan>nism behan class="hi2">aan>ving in an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in wan class="hi2">aan>y.
So the ego is not your enemy, becan class="hi2">aan>use in an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y it is helping you to han class="hi2">aan>ve lessons, to be an class="hi2">aan>sleep, to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> chan class="hi2">aan>nce to choose an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in whether you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to be with God or not. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you hold an class="hi2">aan>ll the power an class="hi2">aan>nd the on-off switch to the ego man class="hi2">aan>chine. You get to choose whether to use the ego in the wan class="hi2">aan>y it wan class="hi2">aan>s designed to be used - to divide an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ke illusions rean class="hi2">aan>l, or whether to use it with Holy Spirit.
To use the ego with Holy Spirit is to look upon the ego simply for whan class="hi2">aan>t it is, an class="hi2">aan>nd recognize it an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ulty broken mistan class="hi2">aan>ken man class="hi2">aan>chine, which han class="hi2">aan>s no will or power of its own, which is just ticking an class="hi2">aan>long an class="hi2">aan>nd doing its role. an class="hi2">Aan>nd here you an class="hi2">aan>re, in Holy Spirit, hean class="hi2">aan>ring the ego's voice an class="hi2">aan>nd its an class="hi2">aan>ssertions but tan class="hi2">aan>king the opportunity to listen to Holy Spirit's version of events.
Your sole tan class="hi2">aan>sk now is to simply choose not to listen to or believe whan class="hi2">aan>t the ego is san class="hi2">aan>ying. You man class="hi2">aan>y hean class="hi2">aan>r it still, becan class="hi2">aan>use it's not going to chan class="hi2">aan>nge its tune, but don't buy into it. Don't get can class="hi2">aan>ught up in it. Don't get lost in blan class="hi2">aan>ming it or fean class="hi2">aan>ring it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd don't keep using it for the originan class="hi2">aan>l purpose you designed it for. You need to use it for forgiveness an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n opportunity to be triggered into hean class="hi2">aan>ling, lean class="hi2">aan>rning to listen to the Voice for God instean class="hi2">aan>d. The ego is just an class="hi2">aan> limited mechan class="hi2">aan>nican class="hi2">aan>l robot. It's rean class="hi2">aan>lly nothing an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll.
Than class="hi2">aan>nk you ego for being ego an class="hi2">aan>nd for being an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ithful servan class="hi2">aan>nt of my an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>nk you for your efforts to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck so than class="hi2">aan>t I han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n opportunity to lean class="hi2">aan>rn to forgive. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>nk you for guilt an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>r so than class="hi2">aan>t I can class="hi2">aan>n lean class="hi2">aan>rn than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m guiltless an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>rless if I tan class="hi2">aan>ke those opportunities an class="hi2">aan>nd work with them correctly. an class="hi2">Aan>nd I an class="hi2">aan>ccept you an class="hi2">aan>s you an class="hi2">aan>re for whan class="hi2">aan>t I man class="hi2">aan>de to you to be, an class="hi2">aan>nd relean class="hi2">aan>se you in freedom an class="hi2">aan>nd gran class="hi2">aan>titude.
When you an class="hi2">aan>re done using the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd buying into this notion than class="hi2">aan>t it han class="hi2">aan>s power to do stuff to you than class="hi2">aan>t you didn't an class="hi2">aan>sk for, which is like an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>rmer san class="hi2">aan>ying "I didn't plan class="hi2">aan>nt those stan class="hi2">aan>lks of corn" when clean class="hi2">aan>rly he did becan class="hi2">aan>use they didn't get there into nean class="hi2">aan>t rows an class="hi2">aan>ll by themselves, you'll set it an class="hi2">aan>side an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> 'toy' than class="hi2">aan>t you no longer wan class="hi2">aan>nt to plan class="hi2">aan>y with or han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> use for.

Bodies an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> specific outcome of the logican class="hi2">aan>l conclusion of the ego thought system, deman class="hi2">aan>nding an class="hi2">aan> concentran class="hi2">aan>ted tan class="hi2">aan>rget to receive punishment in the drean class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan>nd their destruction is the "success" or finan class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>tement than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ttempts to man class="hi2">aan>ke the illusion COMPLETELY REan class="hi2">Aan>L. Or more succinctly, it is the nan class="hi2">aan>il in the coffin.
an class="hi2">Aan>ll of this is illusion. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of it is thought. It is just an class="hi2">aan>n IDEan class="hi2">Aan>. It's an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> of being sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore dean class="hi2">aan>d. an class="hi2">Aan>s dean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>s dean class="hi2">aan>th could ever possibly show up or seem to han class="hi2">aan>ppen in illusions. The most intense, believan class="hi2">aan>ble, seemingly rean class="hi2">aan>l dean class="hi2">aan>th possible. To use it seems very rean class="hi2">aan>l, but it is not.
This is the metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l truth of an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles. Sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God results in the eventuan class="hi2">aan>l, inevitan class="hi2">aan>ble "man class="hi2">aan>nifestan class="hi2">aan>tion" of an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l universe, an class="hi2">aan> universe of dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd destruction, simply an class="hi2">aan>s the most extreme expression of an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of being sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te possible. Regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of whether the Course text itself han class="hi2">aan>s used the term "physican class="hi2">aan>l universe", this is still the truth an class="hi2">aan>bout this plan class="hi2">aan>ce we inhan class="hi2">aan>bit. It is the lower end of the drean class="hi2">aan>m of dean class="hi2">aan>th, an class="hi2">aan>nd physican class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>tter is an class="hi2">aan> dean class="hi2">aan>th thought.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd yet, none of it is rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppening becan class="hi2">aan>use sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion wan class="hi2">aan>s never rean class="hi2">aan>lly possible to begin with.
The physican class="hi2">aan>l universe is an class="hi2">aan>n ILLUSION. God did not crean class="hi2">aan>te it or man class="hi2">aan>ke it. OUR idean class="hi2">aan> of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion man class="hi2">aan>de it.

Metaphysical Logic explains everything about A Course in Miracles

Ok. Think an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan>ll the wan class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t people try to understan class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>CIM. an class="hi2">Aan>ll the opinions. an class="hi2">Aan>ll the "figuring out" whan class="hi2">aan>t it mean class="hi2">aan>ns. an class="hi2">Aan>ll the discussion, deban class="hi2">aan>te, an class="hi2">aan>rguments an class="hi2">aan>nd disan class="hi2">aan>greements. an class="hi2">Aan>nd still it seems no-one quite knows the whole picture.
Well none of than class="hi2">aan>t is necessan class="hi2">aan>ry. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct, behind an class="hi2">aan>ll of the words of an class="hi2">Aan>CIM there is an class="hi2">aan> purely logican class="hi2">aan>l metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l structure an class="hi2">aan>nd progression of thought, which if followed precisely will an class="hi2">aan>utoman class="hi2">aan>tican class="hi2">aan>lly revean class="hi2">aan>l the components of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, why bodies show up, whan class="hi2">aan>t the world is, an class="hi2">aan>spects of crean class="hi2">aan>tion etc. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of it follows IMPECCan class="hi2">Aan>BLE LOGIC.
an class="hi2">Aan>ll you need to do therefore is discern, from an class="hi2">aan> completely san class="hi2">aan>ne an class="hi2">aan>nd logican class="hi2">aan>lly-sound stan class="hi2">aan>rting point (God), whan class="hi2">aan>t is the progression of logican class="hi2">aan>l outcomes or consequences. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of God's crean class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd everything an class="hi2">aan>bout it proceeds an class="hi2">aan>ccording to perfectly logican class="hi2">aan>l rules. an class="hi2">Aan>dditionan class="hi2">aan>lly the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God, the ego, the ego thought system, sin an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th, an class="hi2">aan>ll proceed an class="hi2">aan>ccording to perfect logic.
For exan class="hi2">aan>mple, the idean class="hi2">aan> of an class="hi2">aan>n "opposite" to rean class="hi2">aan>lity, which is the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion idean class="hi2">aan>, is an class="hi2">aan> logican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>rgument suggesting than class="hi2">aan>t something *COMPLETELY* opposite to God's nan class="hi2">aan>ture can class="hi2">aan>n exist. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this for exan class="hi2">aan>mple is reflected "Ean class="hi2">aan>rth, which is hean class="hi2">aan>ven's opposite in every wan class="hi2">aan>y". .. becan class="hi2">aan>use Ean class="hi2">aan>rth is the logican class="hi2">aan>l outcome of the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion thought system an class="hi2">aan>nd must be opposite to God's conclusion.
It is an class="hi2">aan> "blan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd white", very clean class="hi2">aan>rly defined "stan class="hi2">aan>te". an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s the ego progresses in its thought system, it produces stan class="hi2">aan>tes of MIND, which correspond to logican class="hi2">aan>l conclusions an class="hi2">aan>nd consequences.
an class="hi2">Aan>ll you need to do is lean class="hi2">aan>rn this logican class="hi2">aan>l structure, whan class="hi2">aan>t specifican class="hi2">aan>lly MUST be the outcome an class="hi2">aan>nd logican class="hi2">aan>l conditions than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>rise ban class="hi2">aan>sed on ean class="hi2">aan>ch step towan class="hi2">aan>rds dean class="hi2">aan>th, an class="hi2">aan>nd the entire picture of existence is revean class="hi2">aan>led, with everything in its right plan class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd everything understood in its relan class="hi2">aan>tionship to the rest.
This then forms "the metan class="hi2">aan>physics" of the course, which is kind of an class="hi2">aan> living experientian class="hi2">aan>l description of the "stan class="hi2">aan>tes" of mind which han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>risen, whan class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re ban class="hi2">aan>sed on, an class="hi2">aan>nd how they an class="hi2">aan>re corrected. Once you get this underlying structure, which is deeper an class="hi2">aan>nd less removed than class="hi2">aan>n words, you can class="hi2">aan>n tan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>ny stan class="hi2">aan>tement in the course an class="hi2">aan>nd fit it into the picture an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>tely an class="hi2">aan>nd understan class="hi2">aan>nd it fan class="hi2">aan>r better than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ny other "ran class="hi2">aan>ndom" or disjointed an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to form an class="hi2">aan>n opinion.
You don't then even need an class="hi2">aan>n opinion. an class="hi2">Aan>ll you need is to comprehend the logican class="hi2">aan>l ban class="hi2">aan>sis for things. This circumvents an class="hi2">aan>ll discussions, deban class="hi2">aan>tes, an class="hi2">aan>rguments an class="hi2">aan>nd misinterpretan class="hi2">aan>tions. You can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>lso then USE the logican class="hi2">aan>l ban class="hi2">aan>sis to evan class="hi2">aan>luan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>ny new stan class="hi2">aan>tements, or to ban class="hi2">aan>se expressions on than class="hi2">aan>t structure in order to "extran class="hi2">aan>polan class="hi2">aan>te" the course or san class="hi2">aan>y things an class="hi2">aan>bout it which an class="hi2">aan>re completely in an class="hi2">aan>ccord with the Course's tean class="hi2">aan>ching.
Jesus in the Course is extremely logican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd clean class="hi2">aan>r. For exan class="hi2">aan>mple:
"Perfect love can class="hi2">aan>sts out fean class="hi2">aan>r. If fean class="hi2">aan>r exists, Then there is not perfect love. But: Only perfect love exists. If there is fean class="hi2">aan>r, It produces an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te than class="hi2">aan>t does not exist."
This is an class="hi2">aan> progression of pure logic. There an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>ny man class="hi2">aan>ny other exan class="hi2">aan>mples. Below, Jesus tan class="hi2">aan>lks an class="hi2">aan>bout LOGIC an class="hi2">aan>nd how everything proceeds an class="hi2">aan>ccording to logic...
"The Holy Spirit uses logic an class="hi2">aan>s ean class="hi2">aan>sily, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s well, an class="hi2">aan>s does the ego, except than class="hi2">aan>t HIS conclusions an class="hi2">aan>re NOT insan class="hi2">aan>ne. They tan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> direction EXan class="hi2">Aan>CTLY opposite, pointing an class="hi2">aan>s clean class="hi2">aan>rly to Hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>s the ego points to dan class="hi2">aan>rkness an class="hi2">aan>nd to dean class="hi2">aan>th. We han class="hi2">aan>ve followed much of the ego’s logic, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve seen its logican class="hi2">aan>l conclusions. an class="hi2">Aan>nd, Han class="hi2">Aan>VING seen them, we han class="hi2">aan>ve rean class="hi2">aan>lized than class="hi2">aan>t they can class="hi2">aan>n NOT be seen but in delusions. "
"In one sense, the ego’s fean class="hi2">aan>r of the idean class="hi2">aan> of God is an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st logican class="hi2">aan>l."
"From the belief in sin, the fan class="hi2">aan>ith in chan class="hi2">aan>os MUST follow. It is becan class="hi2">aan>use it follows than class="hi2">aan>t it seems to be an class="hi2">aan> logican class="hi2">aan>l conclusion; an class="hi2">aan> van class="hi2">aan>lid step in ordered thought. The steps to chan class="hi2">aan>os DO follow nean class="hi2">aan>tly from their stan class="hi2">aan>rting-point. Ean class="hi2">aan>ch is an class="hi2">aan> different form in the progression of truth’s reversan class="hi2">aan>l, lean class="hi2">aan>ding still deeper into terror, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from truth. Think not one step is sman class="hi2">aan>ller than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>nother, nor than class="hi2">aan>t return from one is ean class="hi2">aan>sier. The whole descent from Hean class="hi2">aan>ven lies in ean class="hi2">aan>ch one. an class="hi2">Aan>nd where your thinking stan class="hi2">aan>rts, there must it end."
"Upside-down logic produces this kind of thinking."
"Yet the logican class="hi2">aan>l outcome of your decision is perfectly clean class="hi2">aan>r, if you will LOOK an class="hi2">aan>t it. By deciding an class="hi2">Aan>Gan class="hi2">Aan>INST your rean class="hi2">aan>lity, you han class="hi2">aan>ve man class="hi2">aan>de yourself vigilan class="hi2">aan>nt an class="hi2">Aan>Gan class="hi2">Aan>INST God an class="hi2">aan>nd His Kingdom. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it is THIS vigilan class="hi2">aan>nce than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes you an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id to remember Him."
"You Han class="hi2">Aan>VE can class="hi2">aan>rried the ego’s rean class="hi2">aan>soning to its logican class="hi2">aan>l conclusion, which is TOTan class="hi2">Aan>L CONFUSION an class="hi2">Aan>BOUT EVERYTHING."
"Now tan class="hi2">aan>ke this personan class="hi2">aan>lly, an class="hi2">aan>nd listen to Divine logic: If, when you han class="hi2">aan>ve been forgiven, you han class="hi2">aan>ve everything else, an class="hi2">aan>nd
If you han class="hi2">aan>ve been forgiven
Then you han class="hi2">aan>ve everything else.
This han class="hi2">aan>ppens to be the simplest of an class="hi2">aan>ll propositions.
IF P then Q
P
Therefore, Q
The rean class="hi2">aan>l question is, is P true. If you will review the evidence, I think you will find this inescan class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble. I went on very personan class="hi2">aan>l record to this effect, an class="hi2">aan>nd I an class="hi2">aan>m the only completely True Witness for God."
"This is perfectly logican class="hi2">aan>l, though clean class="hi2">aan>rly insan class="hi2">aan>ne. The ego dran class="hi2">aan>ws upon the one source which is totan class="hi2">aan>lly inimican class="hi2">aan>l to its existence FOR its existence."
So if you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> "question" an class="hi2">aan>bout something in the Course an class="hi2">aan>nd you're sure where it fits in relan class="hi2">aan>tion to something else, or whan class="hi2">aan>t it mean class="hi2">aan>ns, or how it's structured, or whether something is on an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in level or an class="hi2">aan>nother level etc... once you get an class="hi2">aan> visuan class="hi2">aan>l of the logican class="hi2">aan>l lan class="hi2">aan>yout in your mind, you can class="hi2">aan>n quite ean class="hi2">aan>sily determine where things go an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t they MUST mean class="hi2">aan>n, due to logican class="hi2">aan>l conclusions than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>re sound.
But of course to do this you Han class="hi2">Aan>VE to develop an class="hi2">aan> very clean class="hi2">aan>r sense of whan class="hi2">aan>t logic IS, an class="hi2">aan>nd be very can class="hi2">aan>reful to discern when you an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>king logican class="hi2">aan>l errors. This mean class="hi2">aan>ns you han class="hi2">aan>ve to be can class="hi2">aan>reful with rean class="hi2">aan>soning, be an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of skipping an class="hi2">aan>round in levels, bewan class="hi2">aan>re of trying to man class="hi2">aan>ke "glue" than class="hi2">aan>t ties stuff together than class="hi2">aan>t doesn't go together, etc. There doesn't han class="hi2">aan>ve to be an class="hi2">aan>ny fuzzy boundan class="hi2">aan>ries or blurry conclusions than class="hi2">aan>t you're not quite sure an class="hi2">aan>bout.

There is no sin and you're not a sinner

"There is no sin. Crean class="hi2">aan>tion is unchan class="hi2">aan>nged."
"Before an class="hi2">aan> holy relan class="hi2">aan>tionship there is no sin."
I an class="hi2">aan>sked God, "plean class="hi2">aan>se forgive me". HS responded, "for whan class="hi2">aan>t?" an class="hi2">Aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in I remembered, there is no sin. Does this mean class="hi2">aan>n God han class="hi2">aan>s completely forgiven me? Than class="hi2">aan>t He sees an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely no sin in me? If this is true it must mean class="hi2">aan>n I han class="hi2">aan>ve never sinned. I han class="hi2">aan>ve no rean class="hi2">aan>son to be guilty. There is no rean class="hi2">aan>son to fean class="hi2">aan>r punishment. I've literan class="hi2">aan>lly never done an class="hi2">aan>nything wrong. Nothing is being held an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst me.
So if there is an class="hi2">aan>nything in me which suggests than class="hi2">aan>t this is not true, than class="hi2">aan>t something in me must be an class="hi2">aan> belief. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it must be me own belief, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse one an class="hi2">aan>t than class="hi2">aan>t.

Therefore I must be very mistan class="hi2">aan>ken in believing this. If I think it is true than class="hi2">aan>t I'm an class="hi2">aan> sinner, who han class="hi2">aan>s done terrible things an class="hi2">aan>nd is unforgivan class="hi2">aan>ble, unworthy, guilty, it must be an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ken belief.
If only the truth is true, than class="hi2">aan>t there is an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely no such thing an class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>l sin, then it is literan class="hi2">aan>lly impossible than class="hi2">aan>t I han class="hi2">aan>ve ever sinned. an class="hi2">Aan>nything which seems to han class="hi2">aan>ve occurred must be an class="hi2">aan> mere nightman class="hi2">aan>rish drean class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan>n iman class="hi2">aan>gining, an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>sy, an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to han class="hi2">aan>llucinan class="hi2">aan>te, to try to prove the truth isn't true. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in this fan class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>sizing I must be lying, I must be man class="hi2">aan>king stuff up, an class="hi2">aan>nd I must be trying to believe in it to try to give it rean class="hi2">aan>lity. But it is never true. It is just denian class="hi2">aan>l.

In God's eyes, in terms of the an class="hi2">Aan>tonement, there is an class="hi2">aan> recognition than class="hi2">aan>t sin does not exist. There is no sin in God, there is no sin in me, there is no sin in my brothers, an class="hi2">aan>nd there is no sin in the world. There is no sin an class="hi2">aan>nywhere! The idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t the world is an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use of an class="hi2">aan>nything, or than class="hi2">aan>t the body is an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use of an class="hi2">aan>nything, is the belief than class="hi2">aan>t the world an class="hi2">aan>nd the body an class="hi2">aan>re sinful. Than class="hi2">aan>t they can class="hi2">aan>n, han class="hi2">aan>ve, an class="hi2">aan>re, an class="hi2">aan>nd will be doing something through an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck. They can class="hi2">aan>n't be rean class="hi2">aan>l, or exist, becan class="hi2">aan>use if they were to do so they would be rean class="hi2">aan>lly sinful.
There is an class="hi2">aan> simple truth deep in my mind. There is no sin. There is no consequence of sin. There an class="hi2">aan>re no effects of sin. There is only perfect innocence, holiness, purity an class="hi2">aan>nd divinity. True sinlessness. an class="hi2">Aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of no blan class="hi2">aan>me, no an class="hi2">aan>ccusan class="hi2">aan>tion, no condemnan class="hi2">aan>tion, no han class="hi2">aan>rsh judgement, no finger pointing, no scan class="hi2">aan>pegoan class="hi2">aan>ting, no victimizan class="hi2">aan>tion, just the complete an class="hi2">aan>bsence of sin.
Sin is the big lie an class="hi2">aan>t the root of the ego thought system. It is the belief than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n sin, an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. Which mean class="hi2">aan>ns the belief than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n can class="hi2">aan>use effects in something rean class="hi2">aan>l, than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ffect God, than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n be God, than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ve power over God or your brothers, than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n do something to can class="hi2">aan>use rean class="hi2">aan>l consequences which an class="hi2">aan>re perman class="hi2">aan>nent an class="hi2">aan>nd irreversible. Sin is the an class="hi2">aan>uthority problem, it is the belief in man class="hi2">aan>gic, it is level confusion, it is fan class="hi2">aan>lse perception.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd the secret behind the entire ego construct, the whole world the ego man class="hi2">aan>de, is than class="hi2">aan>t sin does not exist. It never did han class="hi2">aan>ppen. No-one ever chan class="hi2">aan>nged God's will. Nothing rean class="hi2">aan>l wan class="hi2">aan>s ever threan class="hi2">aan>tened. Nothing truly living ever suffers or dies. Literan class="hi2">aan>lly, sin is impossible. You can class="hi2">aan>n't sin even if you wan class="hi2">aan>nted to. an class="hi2">Aan>ll you can class="hi2">aan>n do is iman class="hi2">aan>gine it, drean class="hi2">aan>m it, an class="hi2">aan>nd pretend it is rean class="hi2">aan>l. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in doing so, you can class="hi2">aan>n only be mistan class="hi2">aan>ken. It's simply not true. You an class="hi2">aan>re immortan class="hi2">aan>l. You an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>l. You an class="hi2">aan>re perman class="hi2">aan>nently innocent. God did not crean class="hi2">aan>te sinners an class="hi2">aan>nd you han class="hi2">aan>ve no power to turn yourself into one.
If you think you're sinful right now, or guilty, or han class="hi2">aan>ve rean class="hi2">aan>son to fean class="hi2">aan>r punishment for whan class="hi2">aan>t you did, or should suffer with sickness an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th, YOU an class="hi2">Aan>RE MISTan class="hi2">Aan>KEN. Choose an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>in.
"Loudly the ego tells you not to look inwan class="hi2">aan>rd, for if you do, your eyes will light on sin, an class="hi2">aan>nd God will strike you blind. This you believe, an class="hi2">aan>nd so you do not look. Yet this is not the ego's hidden fean class="hi2">aan>r, nor yours who serve it. Loudly indeed the ego clan class="hi2">aan>ims it is.

Unconscious sin is a deeper problem than unconscious guilt

an class="hi2">Aan> lot is san class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>bout fean class="hi2">aan>r. Less is san class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>bout guilt. Even less is san class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>bout sin. an class="hi2">Aan>nd less still is san class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>bout sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion.
It is han class="hi2">aan>rd enough to get people to tan class="hi2">aan>lk an class="hi2">aan>bout unconscious guilt, an class="hi2">aan>nd once they do they somewhan class="hi2">aan>t fixan class="hi2">aan>te on it an class="hi2">aan>s being 'the rean class="hi2">aan>l problem'. But the only wan class="hi2">aan>y it's even possible to believe in guilt is if you believe in sin, which can class="hi2">aan>me before guilt. Behind unconscious guilt there is unconscious sin.
Sin an class="hi2">aan>lso isn't the end of the roan class="hi2">aan>d, or ran class="hi2">aan>ther the stan class="hi2">aan>rt of it, becan class="hi2">aan>use the only wan class="hi2">aan>y you can class="hi2">aan>n believe in sin is if you believe you an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from God. The tiny man class="hi2">aan>d idean class="hi2">aan> han class="hi2">aan>d to han class="hi2">aan>ppen before sin could han class="hi2">aan>ppen, otherwise sin would han class="hi2">aan>ve nothing to 'man class="hi2">aan>ke rean class="hi2">aan>l'.
Sin san class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ppened an class="hi2">aan>nd gives 'rean class="hi2">aan>lity' to than class="hi2">aan>t sense of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, stan class="hi2">aan>ting than class="hi2">aan>t it han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppened so much than class="hi2">aan>t it is irreversible. It is only an class="hi2">aan>fter sin han class="hi2">aan>s estan class="hi2">aan>blished than class="hi2">aan>t sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion produced "rean class="hi2">aan>l consequences", which an class="hi2">aan>re irreversible/un-hean class="hi2">aan>lan class="hi2">aan>ble, than class="hi2">aan>t you even get to the an class="hi2">aan>ffirman class="hi2">aan>tion of guilt.
By being guilty you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>cknowledging than class="hi2">aan>t sin han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppened, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore YOU were the one who man class="hi2">aan>de it han class="hi2">aan>ppen, an class="hi2">aan>nd so you an class="hi2">aan>re the guilty one. You an class="hi2">aan>re responsible for an class="hi2">aan>ll of the consequences than class="hi2">aan>t sin indican class="hi2">aan>tes han class="hi2">aan>s occurred. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so you an class="hi2">aan>re guilty. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it's not until an class="hi2">aan>fter you an class="hi2">aan>ccept guilt into your mind than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n even become an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id of punishment.
Fean class="hi2">aan>r of punishment enters into it by you believing you an class="hi2">aan>re the one who sinned, you an class="hi2">aan>re guilty of it, an class="hi2">aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>use of this there is going to be an class="hi2">aan> punishment. In other words, sin han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> price - God han class="hi2">aan>s been lost - an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re the one who did it, so you an class="hi2">aan>re responsible for 'pan class="hi2">aan>ying' for this loss. Sin estan class="hi2">aan>blished whan class="hi2">aan>t you rean class="hi2">aan>lly did han class="hi2">aan>ppened, guilt pointed the finger an class="hi2">aan>t you, an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>r results becan class="hi2">aan>use YOU rean class="hi2">aan>lly wan class="hi2">aan>nt to clan class="hi2">aan>im responsibility for han class="hi2">aan>ving successfully an class="hi2">aan>chieved the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. You will han class="hi2">aan>ve to pan class="hi2">aan>y for being guilty becan class="hi2">aan>use sin an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt DEMan class="hi2">Aan>ND punishment. So now you're an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id of punishment becan class="hi2">aan>use you believe you're guilty.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd we could even san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t fean class="hi2">aan>r isn't the end of the roan class="hi2">aan>d either. Fean class="hi2">aan>r comes from believing you an class="hi2">aan>re guilty, an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>r governs most of whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens in the world. The physican class="hi2">aan>l world wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> denian class="hi2">aan>l-projection mechan class="hi2">aan>nism man class="hi2">aan>de to COVER UP unconscious guilt, to man class="hi2">aan>ke it pan class="hi2">aan>lan class="hi2">aan>tan class="hi2">aan>ble. So now we an class="hi2">aan>re in an class="hi2">aan> world of FEan class="hi2">Aan>R. an class="hi2">Aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>r san class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t punishment is coming. Fean class="hi2">aan>r therefore BRINGS than class="hi2">aan>t punishment. The punishment is dean class="hi2">aan>th. You man class="hi2">aan>y be an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id of dean class="hi2">aan>th but nevertheless fean class="hi2">aan>r lean class="hi2">aan>ds to dean class="hi2">aan>th. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so the tiny man class="hi2">aan>d idean class="hi2">aan> lean class="hi2">aan>ds to dean class="hi2">aan>th through an class="hi2">aan>ll of these stan class="hi2">aan>ges.
So yes it's importan class="hi2">aan>nt to undo our belief in dean class="hi2">aan>th. It's importan class="hi2">aan>nt to undo an class="hi2">aan>ll fean class="hi2">aan>r. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it's an class="hi2">aan>lso importan class="hi2">aan>nt to undo the unconscious guilt with the help of Holy Spirit. But it's an class="hi2">Aan>LSO importan class="hi2">aan>nt to undo the belief in sin, otherwise 'whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppened' can class="hi2">aan>nnot be undone. Just undoing the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t we're guilty for whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppened, man class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>llow us to see an class="hi2">aan> guiltless world, but it will still be an class="hi2">aan> world where things han class="hi2">aan>ppen an class="hi2">aan>nd go wrong. Things going wrong is sin. Things han class="hi2">aan>ppening is sin. If an class="hi2">aan> world is han class="hi2">aan>ppening, it is proving than class="hi2">aan>t sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ppened.
So unconscious sin han class="hi2">aan>s to be undone, which entan class="hi2">aan>ils the further hean class="hi2">aan>ling of the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd the reversan class="hi2">aan>l of the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of the physican class="hi2">aan>l world - the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of 'whan class="hi2">aan>ts han class="hi2">aan>ppened'. This is where can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect an class="hi2">aan>re reversed ban class="hi2">aan>ck to their proper order. This could perhan class="hi2">aan>ps be can class="hi2">aan>lled the level of our higher selves, or of our 'individuan class="hi2">aan>l' son self an class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the sonship. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this still isn't the end of it. Han class="hi2">aan>ving man class="hi2">aan>stery over the world an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ble to chan class="hi2">aan>nge the world still an class="hi2">aan>llows the world to exist.
The finan class="hi2">aan>l undoing is the undoing of the IDEan class="hi2">Aan> of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion in its entirety, in which there is an class="hi2">aan> totan class="hi2">aan>l oneness of the sonship an class="hi2">aan>s the ONE son, on the level of Christ. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it's here than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion is hean class="hi2">aan>led an class="hi2">aan>nd the entire universe disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs. This is the idean class="hi2">aan> of 'sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion' being undone. Sin is undone, proving the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>s not han class="hi2">aan>ppened, an class="hi2">aan>nd demonstran class="hi2">aan>ting than class="hi2">aan>t it han class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>d no effects. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so without sin there is no proof of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. But it's still an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan>. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now this idean class="hi2">aan> must be let go an class="hi2">aan>nd God tan class="hi2">aan>kes the finan class="hi2">aan>l step to return us to totan class="hi2">aan>l union - an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening into Hean class="hi2">aan>ven.

A physical healing of heartburn by the Holy Spirit

I woke up in the night lan class="hi2">aan>st night with terrible hean class="hi2">aan>rtburn. It wan class="hi2">aan>s so uncomfortan class="hi2">aan>ble, I wan class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>dy to get in the can class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd go to the store to get something for it. Proban class="hi2">aan>bly the strongest an class="hi2">aan>nd worst hean class="hi2">aan>rtburn I've ever han class="hi2">aan>d.
I thought I wouldn't be an class="hi2">aan>ble to go ban class="hi2">aan>ck to sleep becan class="hi2">aan>use it wan class="hi2">aan>s wan class="hi2">aan>y too unplean class="hi2">aan>san class="hi2">aan>nt an class="hi2">aan>nd I han class="hi2">aan>d to do *something* an class="hi2">aan>bout it.
In the middle of than class="hi2">aan>t concern, in which I thought I definitely would need an class="hi2">aan>n externan class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>gican class="hi2">aan>l solution, Holy Spirit stan class="hi2">aan>rted shan class="hi2">aan>king me an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ling me.
I did not believe an class="hi2">aan>t first than class="hi2">aan>t He would be an class="hi2">aan>ble to correct it. It seemed too strong an class="hi2">aan>nd definitely "physican class="hi2">aan>l". But He kept doing the san class="hi2">aan>me process over an class="hi2">aan>nd over for like 5 minutes or more. My body wan class="hi2">aan>s shan class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan>ll over the plan class="hi2">aan>ce an class="hi2">aan>nd I just surrendered, relan class="hi2">aan>xed an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>llowed.
Surprisingly, it seemed to be improving. He kept going. an class="hi2">Aan>nd eventuan class="hi2">aan>lly it got to where it rean class="hi2">aan>lly felt like it han class="hi2">aan>d completely hean class="hi2">aan>led. I wan class="hi2">aan>s in an class="hi2">aan> bit of disbelief. My fean class="hi2">aan>rful thoughts han class="hi2">aan>dn't quite can class="hi2">aan>ught up to whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>d han class="hi2">aan>ppened.
But there I wan class="hi2">aan>s, the Holy Spirit san class="hi2">aan>id "done", an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll I could feel wan class="hi2">aan>s stillness an class="hi2">aan>nd pean class="hi2">aan>ce. The roan class="hi2">aan>ring hean class="hi2">aan>rtburn soreness han class="hi2">aan>d been completely hean class="hi2">aan>led. I got up an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>lked an class="hi2">aan>round an class="hi2">aan> bit to test it. I then tentan class="hi2">aan>tively hean class="hi2">aan>ded ban class="hi2">aan>ck to bed, not being an class="hi2">aan>ble to find an class="hi2">aan>ny tran class="hi2">aan>ce of discomfort.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd then I stan class="hi2">aan>rted to experience bigtime gran class="hi2">aan>titude for this hean class="hi2">aan>ling. Pan class="hi2">aan>rt of my ego mind couldn't quite let go of the belief than class="hi2">aan>t it wan class="hi2">aan>s hean class="hi2">aan>led an class="hi2">aan>nd kept wan class="hi2">aan>nting to fean class="hi2">aan>r its return, but it wan class="hi2">aan>s nonsense. It wan class="hi2">aan>s gone.
Than class="hi2">aan>nk God for than class="hi2">aan>t :-)
an class="hi2">Aan>lthough these things an class="hi2">aan>re unplean class="hi2">aan>san class="hi2">aan>nt to go through, they definitely an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y to increan class="hi2">aan>se trust in Holy Spirit an class="hi2">aan>nd His miran class="hi2">aan>cle-working power.

From a narrow minded ego to an open minded soul

Ego is simply the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m less than class="hi2">aan>n the whole (while an class="hi2">aan>lso trying to be more than class="hi2">aan>n God).

It does this by trying to be one with things which an class="hi2">aan>re not the whole. To put itself into little fran class="hi2">aan>gmented prisons.
Trying to be one with an class="hi2">aan> body, or an class="hi2">aan> thought, or the mind, or an class="hi2">aan> feeling, or an class="hi2">aan> role, or an class="hi2">aan> culture, or an class="hi2">aan> country, or an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>r, or an class="hi2">aan> relan class="hi2">aan>tionship etc. Trying to become something, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> redefinition of whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>s the whole. Trying to become an class="hi2">aan> hole, an class="hi2">aan>nd to han class="hi2">aan>ve holes, an class="hi2">aan>s something unholy.
Our whole sense of who an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re becomes confused with this sense of being things which an class="hi2">aan>re limited an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>cking.

Loss of another is a belief that you've lost yourself

So then we get into an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of experiencing loss an class="hi2">aan>nd grief which seems to be an class="hi2">aan>bout this other person missing, but it's rean class="hi2">aan>lly deep down an class="hi2">aan> sense of YOU han class="hi2">aan>ving died. Some pan class="hi2">aan>rt of you seems to be gone. Some pan class="hi2">aan>rt of you is lan class="hi2">aan>cking than class="hi2">aan>t is supposed to be there, they somehow becan class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted with the form of someone else you thought wan class="hi2">aan>s sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te.
Becan class="hi2">aan>use ... if you were whole, how could you experience an class="hi2">aan>ny sense of loss or lan class="hi2">aan>ck or deprivan class="hi2">aan>tion? If you an class="hi2">aan>re whole, you wouldn't be an class="hi2">aan>ble to clan class="hi2">aan>im even than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nything han class="hi2">aan>s been tan class="hi2">aan>ken from you, than class="hi2">aan>t you're lan class="hi2">aan>cking, than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re in need, than class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nt something you do not han class="hi2">aan>ve, etc. It's only by sort of tan class="hi2">aan>king the loss personan class="hi2">aan>lly than class="hi2">aan>t you then go on to feel than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> loss - than class="hi2">aan>t something than class="hi2">aan>t "wan class="hi2">aan>s yours" is "not there".
I an class="hi2">aan>m finding for myself than class="hi2">aan>t if I focus more on the Godly fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s given me everything an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore I lan class="hi2">aan>ck nothing, it becomes han class="hi2">aan>rder to clan class="hi2">aan>im or believe than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> loss. Or than class="hi2">aan>t loss is even possible. If I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>s God crean class="hi2">aan>ted me then I must still be whole, I must be lan class="hi2">aan>cking nothing, in need of nothing, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n't in than class="hi2">aan>t wholeness justify or explan class="hi2">aan>in or ran class="hi2">aan>tionan class="hi2">aan>lise than class="hi2">aan>t I han class="hi2">aan>ve lost an class="hi2">aan>nything. Then whan class="hi2">aan>t used to seem like, being hit with an class="hi2">aan> sledgehan class="hi2">aan>mmer an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ving something huge ripped an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y unfan class="hi2">aan>irly, softens into an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ken perception of myself.
Indeed in than class="hi2">aan>t recognition of wholeness there is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan> recognition of oneness, an class="hi2">aan> oneness which binds you perman class="hi2">aan>nently to than class="hi2">aan>t other person who seemed to be gone, an class="hi2">aan>nd proves to you than class="hi2">aan>t they han class="hi2">aan>ve NOT gone, becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re literan class="hi2">aan>lly YOU an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re perman class="hi2">aan>nently an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of your self in oneness. PLUS you can class="hi2">aan>n still an class="hi2">aan>ccess them by being one with them in your mind. So you can class="hi2">aan>nnot ever lose them, provided you an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge the wholeness than class="hi2">aan>t you shan class="hi2">aan>re.
Once you go into sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, ego, loss, the belief than class="hi2">aan>t "you lan class="hi2">aan>ck", only then does it seem plan class="hi2">aan>usible to san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t something is missing, something han class="hi2">aan>s been tan class="hi2">aan>ken wan class="hi2">aan>y (from who or whan class="hi2">aan>t?), or something han class="hi2">aan>s died. an class="hi2">Aan>nd then it literan class="hi2">aan>lly rean class="hi2">aan>lly becomes an class="hi2">aan> belief than class="hi2">aan>t YOU han class="hi2">aan>ve died, or some pan class="hi2">aan>rt of your own self han class="hi2">aan>s been lost. Than class="hi2">aan>t you're no longer "whole" without some other sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted-off person.
So I think we (spean class="hi2">aan>king for myself) interpret losses of "other things" an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly loses an class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rts of our own self, due to the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll one. If we an class="hi2">aan>re one, an class="hi2">aan>nd I "lose you", or you seem to be gone from rean class="hi2">aan>lity, then pan class="hi2">aan>rt of my own self han class="hi2">aan>s been destroyed. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the belief in than class="hi2">aan>t is whan class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>uses the sense of loss - than class="hi2">aan>t some pan class="hi2">aan>rt of ME - an class="hi2">aan>s the whole - han class="hi2">aan>s been tan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>nd is not there. It's not just an class="hi2">aan>bout some other person, it's an class="hi2">aan>bout seeing their an class="hi2">aan>bsence an class="hi2">aan>s proof than class="hi2">aan>t somehow I an class="hi2">Aan>M LESS. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t's an class="hi2">aan>n ego thing.
It then boils down to whether or not you can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccept than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re in an class="hi2">aan>nd of yourself whole an class="hi2">aan>nd complete an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>cking nothing, missing nothing, deprived of nothing, an class="hi2">aan>nd receiving love from God. an class="hi2">Aan>s the course san class="hi2">aan>ys, only you can class="hi2">aan>n deprive yourself of an class="hi2">aan>nything. So if you do NOT deprive yourself, how can class="hi2">aan>n you be in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of lan class="hi2">aan>ck? an class="hi2">Aan>nd if you do not deprive yourself, you do not deprive yourself of your brother either, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>nnot buy into or believe they an class="hi2">aan>re "dean class="hi2">aan>d" or missing from your existence. Or from your SELF.
To be in loss an class="hi2">aan>nd grief is rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of believing than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re deprived, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns you an class="hi2">aan>re depriving yourself. Only illusions can class="hi2">aan>n seem to be an class="hi2">aan>bsent an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t dies is not whan class="hi2">aan>t the person rean class="hi2">aan>lly is an class="hi2">aan>nywan class="hi2">aan>y. Grief then mean class="hi2">aan>ns you an class="hi2">aan>re not recognizing than class="hi2">aan>t there is nothing wrong with you, than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re not lan class="hi2">aan>cking, than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re not in need, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve everything forever. Than class="hi2">aan>t's self denian class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>t its root, even if on the surfan class="hi2">aan>ce it man class="hi2">aan>y point an class="hi2">aan> finger an class="hi2">aan>nd pretend to be an class="hi2">aan>bout someone else. If you would reman class="hi2">aan>in in an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of wholeness an class="hi2">aan>nd love, how could you experience loss an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll?
We don't rean class="hi2">aan>lly ever lose an class="hi2">aan>nyone becan class="hi2">aan>use we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll one forever. But believing in the loss of an class="hi2">aan>nother must mean class="hi2">aan>n we believe in the loss of ourselves, per the golden rule. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it's rean class="hi2">aan>lly ourselves than class="hi2">aan>t needs to be put ban class="hi2">aan>ck together an class="hi2">aan>nd remember our wholeness, so than class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>n end the sense of han class="hi2">aan>ving lost an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. Rean class="hi2">aan>l loss is impossible, when the truth is recognized.

The real world is not heaven, it's still a dream

Here's some quotes explan class="hi2">aan>ining why whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>CIM terms an class="hi2">aan>s "the rean class="hi2">aan>l world" IS NOT Hean class="hi2">aan>ven - they an class="hi2">aan>re two entirely difference "plan class="hi2">aan>ces" or experiences. The rean class="hi2">aan>l world is firmly rooted in perception, Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is beyond perception, beyond Ean class="hi2">aan>rth, beyond this universe, beyond bodies of an class="hi2">aan>ny kind, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n only be known an class="hi2">aan>nd experiences in rean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness. This is why "Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RENESS (not perception) of perfect Oneness".
You an class="hi2">aan>re to rean class="hi2">aan>ch the "rean class="hi2">aan>l world" first an class="hi2">aan>nd then God will scoop you up into Hean class="hi2">aan>ven.

It's "relan class="hi2">aan>tive" terminology, not an class="hi2">aan>bsolute.
an class="hi2">Aan>lso Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is still very DIFFERENT to Ean class="hi2">aan>rth, due to the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t even the rean class="hi2">aan>l world an class="hi2">aan>nd Ean class="hi2">aan>rth an class="hi2">aan>re still illusions ban class="hi2">aan>sed on sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion.

Choosing not to control anything as a way to surrender

Choosing not to control an class="hi2">aan>nything, to me, feels just like an class="hi2">aan> surrender.
I used to san class="hi2">aan>y severan class="hi2">aan>l times, "I surrender". Pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>rly san class="hi2">aan>ying them in quick-succession so than class="hi2">aan>t my ego doesn't jump in with its distran class="hi2">aan>ctions an class="hi2">aan>nd objections.
But now I find, if I just intend not to control an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, an class="hi2">aan>nd just to be 'an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of an class="hi2">aan>ny an class="hi2">aan>ttempts to control, this works just an class="hi2">aan>s well an class="hi2">aan>nd even perhan class="hi2">aan>ps runs deeper.
With surrendering, I can class="hi2">aan>n surrender the surfan class="hi2">aan>ce lan class="hi2">aan>yers of whan class="hi2">aan>t my ego han class="hi2">aan>s been doing to try to control situan class="hi2">aan>tions, an class="hi2">aan>nd relan class="hi2">aan>x ban class="hi2">aan>ck into openness an class="hi2">aan>nd willingness to an class="hi2">aan>dmit the truth. But man class="hi2">aan>ybe this isn't an class="hi2">aan> 'totan class="hi2">aan>l surrender'.
By focusing on 'not controlling an class="hi2">aan>nything', this instean class="hi2">aan>d strikes right to the core of the ego, which is entirely founded on an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to control rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd God. If I an class="hi2">aan>m not controlling an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, then I an class="hi2">aan>m not going outside of myself, I an class="hi2">aan>m not engan class="hi2">aan>ging in non-an class="hi2">aan>cceptan class="hi2">aan>nce, I an class="hi2">aan>m not can class="hi2">aan>ught up in ego dran class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>s, an class="hi2">aan>nd I'm not even crean class="hi2">aan>ting the thoughts than class="hi2">aan>t come an class="hi2">aan>s the wan class="hi2">aan>ys in which I think rean class="hi2">aan>lity should be different.
Give it an class="hi2">aan> try. I'm enjoying experimenting with this. Just let go of controlling an class="hi2">aan>nything whan class="hi2">aan>tsoever. Don't even try to control thoughts or to control your mind or ego. Just stop controlling.

Unworthiness is a breakdown in cause and effect

If you an class="hi2">aan>re feeling unworthy or unwan class="hi2">aan>nted, know this.

This is the metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l origin of feelings of unworthiness, of rejection by God, of being discan class="hi2">aan>rded an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ban class="hi2">aan>ndoned, of deserving dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd of being orphan class="hi2">aan>ned in an class="hi2">aan> tran class="hi2">aan>shcan class="hi2">aan>n of an class="hi2">aan> world.

To do so is to reject an class="hi2">aan>nd discan class="hi2">aan>rd an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ban class="hi2">aan>ndon it to dean class="hi2">aan>th. an class="hi2">Aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tion which can class="hi2">aan>n exist on its own without its crean class="hi2">aan>tor is an class="hi2">aan> totan class="hi2">aan>l illusion in this world. Without your crean class="hi2">aan>tor you an class="hi2">aan>re nothing.

Than class="hi2">aan>t is why you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ble to live forever, becan class="hi2">aan>use he is perman class="hi2">aan>nently holding you in existence.

Only in such an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y can class="hi2">aan>n you BE worthy, or Wan class="hi2">Aan>NTED, or DESIRED by your crean class="hi2">aan>tor, or Van class="hi2">Aan>LUED enough to han class="hi2">aan>ve perman class="hi2">aan>nent ongoing nurturing, support, man class="hi2">aan>intenan class="hi2">aan>nce an class="hi2">aan>nd continued existence.

If we see ourselves an class="hi2">aan>s children of temporan class="hi2">aan>ry pan class="hi2">aan>rents, or deposits of an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tor who han class="hi2">aan>s turned his ban class="hi2">aan>ck on us, or effects who han class="hi2">aan>ve become orphan class="hi2">aan>ned from their can class="hi2">aan>use, or fan class="hi2">aan>therless sons, or motherless dan class="hi2">aan>ughters, or in an class="hi2">aan>ny wan class="hi2">aan>y disconnected from our source, then we will see ourselves an class="hi2">aan>s unwan class="hi2">aan>nted. This is why an class="hi2">aan>ll those wan class="hi2">aan>lking the ean class="hi2">aan>rth feel themselves to be unworthy, becan class="hi2">aan>use they think they han class="hi2">aan>ve become sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from God.
Sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion is rean class="hi2">aan>lly the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect han class="hi2">aan>ve become sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted.

If you an class="hi2">aan>re the child of an class="hi2">aan> perman class="hi2">aan>nent crean class="hi2">aan>tor, who wan class="hi2">aan>nts you perman class="hi2">aan>nently, an class="hi2">aan>nd who can class="hi2">aan>n never stop wan class="hi2">aan>nting you, then you must be worthy an class="hi2">aan>nd you must be wan class="hi2">aan>nted. If you an class="hi2">aan>re something lost an class="hi2">aan>nd forgotten, discan class="hi2">aan>rded like an class="hi2">aan> piece of tran class="hi2">aan>sh, han class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>nd reviled, evil an class="hi2">aan>nd ugly, then obviously you're going to feel unworthy. Identifying with an class="hi2">aan> body you MUST reject God an class="hi2">aan>nd msut therefore feel van class="hi2">aan>lueless. The body is not worth an class="hi2">Aan>NYTHING, an class="hi2">aan>nd if it is your self, then you han class="hi2">aan>ve no crean class="hi2">aan>tor.
an class="hi2">Aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck of worth therefore is nothing more than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> brean class="hi2">aan>kdown in can class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>nd effect. To be an class="hi2">aan>n effect without an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>use, is to han class="hi2">aan>ve been disowned.

Ego perception puts you into a private reality

In an class="hi2">Aan>CIM Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys the ego man class="hi2">aan>de the body an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y to focus an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from the mind an class="hi2">aan>nd to man class="hi2">aan>ke the mind seem to be 'privan class="hi2">aan>te'. The body is like an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>round the mind which crean class="hi2">aan>tes the illusion an class="hi2">aan>nd perception than class="hi2">aan>t the mind does not communican class="hi2">aan>te. In other words, the mind seems to be shut off from an class="hi2">aan>ll other equan class="hi2">aan>lly-sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te minds, an class="hi2">aan>nd there is no shan class="hi2">aan>ring on an class="hi2">aan>ny level of an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness.
The result of this is than class="hi2">aan>t the body is now exan class="hi2">aan>lted an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> mean class="hi2">aan>ns of communican class="hi2">aan>tion, in which the ego wan class="hi2">aan>nts bodies to become physican class="hi2">aan>lly intiman class="hi2">aan>te to 'represent' communican class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>ppening. Even the spoken word is then considered communican class="hi2">aan>tion, but rean class="hi2">aan>lly it is an class="hi2">aan> complete substitute for rean class="hi2">aan>l, direct communican class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd typican class="hi2">aan>lly is an class="hi2">aan> communican class="hi2">aan>tion fan class="hi2">aan>ilure.
True Communican class="hi2">aan>tion isn't telepan class="hi2">aan>thy an class="hi2">aan>s such, the idean class="hi2">aan> of telepan class="hi2">aan>thy mean class="hi2">aan>ns sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te people with sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te minds sending messan class="hi2">aan>ges. The truth is than class="hi2">aan>t our minds an class="hi2">aan>re NOT sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te, an class="hi2">aan>nd the belief in an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between minds is the can class="hi2">aan>use of an class="hi2">aan>ll sickness, an class="hi2">aan>ll mentan class="hi2">aan>l illness, an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is why the body dies - becan class="hi2">aan>use the mind han class="hi2">aan>s been kept from true communican class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd locked in an class="hi2">aan> prison. Or to put it an class="hi2">aan>nother wan class="hi2">aan>y, the body Han class="hi2">Aan>S to die if the mind reman class="hi2">aan>ins unan class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of its true function, becan class="hi2">aan>use the body IS the idean class="hi2">aan> of dean class="hi2">aan>th.
Jesus tan class="hi2">aan>lks an class="hi2">aan>bout how the ego will do an class="hi2">aan>nything it can class="hi2">aan>n to ignore the mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd will even let the mind han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ctivity an class="hi2">aan>nd thoughts becan class="hi2">aan>use it thinks of it an class="hi2">aan>s serving the body an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>llowing the body to tell the mind whan class="hi2">aan>t to do. Then the body uses the mind only so than class="hi2">aan>t the body can class="hi2">aan>n get whan class="hi2">aan>t it wan class="hi2">aan>nts, such an class="hi2">aan>s property, clothing, sex, food, physican class="hi2">aan>l contan class="hi2">aan>ct, etc. You can class="hi2">aan>n see this reflected in the scientific/medican class="hi2">aan>l model which san class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t the 'bran class="hi2">aan>in' is the can class="hi2">aan>use of consciousness or is the 'source' of thinking, which is completely the opposite of the truth.
This hean class="hi2">aan>vy focus on the physican class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>s well an class="hi2">aan>s this reversan class="hi2">aan>l of who is in chan class="hi2">aan>rge - i.e. than class="hi2">aan>t the body is in chan class="hi2">aan>rge of the mind, is an class="hi2">aan> "confusion of the levels", which Jesus an class="hi2">aan>lso explan class="hi2">aan>ins an class="hi2">aan>s the can class="hi2">aan>use of an class="hi2">aan>ll sickness. "an class="hi2">Aan>ll sickness comes from confusing the levels" ... an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t miran class="hi2">aan>cles correct this 'order' an class="hi2">aan>nd plan class="hi2">aan>ce the levels in their proper order - i.e., restoring the mind an class="hi2">aan>s Can class="hi2">Aan>USE an class="hi2">aan>nd the body an class="hi2">aan>s EFFECT.
The body did not exist an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll until the ego man class="hi2">aan>de it an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y to enslan class="hi2">aan>ve the mind, to man class="hi2">aan>ke you unan class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re than class="hi2">aan>t you even han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> mind, to shut out an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, to cut you off from everyone else, to man class="hi2">aan>ke you isolan class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>nd lonely, an class="hi2">aan>nd to disempower you. This wan class="hi2">aan>s the PURPOSE of the body. This is the body's entire rean class="hi2">aan>son for existing. It is not some lovely crean class="hi2">aan>ture than class="hi2">aan>t God crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t we should bow down an class="hi2">aan>nd worship. It is an class="hi2">aan>n ego device for sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd for splitting the One Shan class="hi2">aan>red Mind into man class="hi2">aan>ny man class="hi2">aan>ny sman class="hi2">aan>ll imprisoned minds.
I han class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>n experience of God an class="hi2">aan> few yean class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>go an class="hi2">aan>nd in this experience my mind becan class="hi2">aan>me very expan class="hi2">aan>nded, an class="hi2">aan>nd I becan class="hi2">aan>me very very an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re. I thought I wan class="hi2">aan>s fully an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ke when I woke up in the morning but it wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely nothing in compan class="hi2">aan>rison to how an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re I wan class="hi2">aan>s in this experience. I becan class="hi2">aan>me quite close to lean class="hi2">aan>ving my body becan class="hi2">aan>use I wan class="hi2">aan>s becoming very an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of God an class="hi2">aan>nd the an class="hi2">aan>ttran class="hi2">aan>ction to Him wan class="hi2">aan>s so strong, than class="hi2">aan>t I wan class="hi2">aan>nted to lean class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely everything behind an class="hi2">aan>nd go to Him. It wan class="hi2">aan>s like an class="hi2">aan> scan class="hi2">aan>red child running to their pan class="hi2">aan>rent an class="hi2">aan>fter some nightman class="hi2">aan>rish thing just han class="hi2">aan>ppened an class="hi2">aan>nd finan class="hi2">aan>lly rean class="hi2">aan>lizing than class="hi2">aan>t they can class="hi2">aan>n run to san class="hi2">aan>fety.
However, this didn't lan class="hi2">aan>st very long an class="hi2">aan>nd my expan class="hi2">aan>nded an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan>nd unifican class="hi2">aan>tion of mind stan class="hi2">aan>rted to come ban class="hi2">aan>ck into my body. I wan class="hi2">aan>s extremely ungrounded for some time an class="hi2">aan>nd gran class="hi2">aan>duan class="hi2">aan>lly my an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness collan class="hi2">aan>psed ban class="hi2">aan>ck down an class="hi2">aan>nd reinserted itself into my body. This took an class="hi2">aan> few weeks. an class="hi2">Aan>s it progressed, I felt an class="hi2">aan>nd perceived than class="hi2">aan>t it wan class="hi2">aan>s like undergoing some kind of bran class="hi2">aan>in dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ge - an class="hi2">aan>s though coming into the body wan class="hi2">aan>s tan class="hi2">aan>king on an class="hi2">aan> tremendous dumbing down, suppressing, 'disan class="hi2">aan>bling', stunting of my consciousness, such than class="hi2">aan>t I could only liken it to han class="hi2">aan>ving some kind of terrible bran class="hi2">aan>in dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ge than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s blocking out an class="hi2">aan>nd shutting out the bean class="hi2">aan>utiful an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness I'd experienced.
Towan class="hi2">aan>rds the end of this process of 'returning' to the ego, which wan class="hi2">aan>s very upsetting becan class="hi2">aan>use once you tan class="hi2">aan>ste God you don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt to lean class="hi2">aan>ve... my an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness gran class="hi2">aan>duan class="hi2">aan>lly entered into my physican class="hi2">aan>l senses more fully an class="hi2">aan>nd this wan class="hi2">aan>s like putting on an class="hi2">aan> dan class="hi2">aan>rk costume where, once you get inside it enough, the door behind you closes, your sense of connection to God gets an class="hi2">aan>lmost completely shut off, your an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of an class="hi2">aan>nything bigger is totan class="hi2">aan>lly shut down, an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re sort of 'locked in'. Then, it seems than class="hi2">aan>t the only thing you can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of is whan class="hi2">aan>t the body's senses show you - there is informan class="hi2">aan>tion coming into the eyes, tan class="hi2">aan>stes, smells, sounds etc, but very little an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, no connection, no expan class="hi2">aan>nsion, no rean class="hi2">aan>l communican class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd no God.
It's sort of like some creepy thing like, entering "The Man class="hi2">aan>trix", or getting plugged into an class="hi2">aan> virtuan class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>lity suit where, once you go into it, an class="hi2">aan>ll of rean class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>lity gets shut out an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>n ONLY fixan class="hi2">aan>te on whan class="hi2">aan>t the 'encounter-suit' shows you. This is becan class="hi2">aan>use the body forces you to focus on form, on whan class="hi2">aan>t's outside of you, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t's sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from you. It totan class="hi2">aan>lly shuts out your connection to the whole an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>kes you feel like some kind of tiny little, stran class="hi2">aan>pped-in prisoner, who can class="hi2">aan>n ban class="hi2">aan>rely move or perceive an class="hi2">aan>nything, with blinders on, forced to stan class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>ke-believe world an class="hi2">aan>nd not an class="hi2">aan>llowed to look an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ny thing else. This wan class="hi2">aan>s rean class="hi2">aan>lly upsetting to go through 're-entry' but it showed me clean class="hi2">aan>rly just how much the body blocks an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan>nd shuts down the mind.
We can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>scend our an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness to an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>venly plan class="hi2">aan>ce, I mean class="hi2">aan>n, when I wan class="hi2">aan>s han class="hi2">aan>ving my experience I wan class="hi2">aan>s still in my body, just an class="hi2">aan>bout, but such an class="hi2">aan>n expan class="hi2">aan>nded stan class="hi2">aan>te of being rean class="hi2">aan>lly urges for totan class="hi2">aan>l relean class="hi2">aan>se from the body, it's so expan class="hi2">aan>nsive than class="hi2">aan>t the body can class="hi2">aan>nnot contan class="hi2">aan>in it. an class="hi2">Aan>t some point, an class="hi2">aan>s I see it, when we rean class="hi2">aan>lly thoroughly wan class="hi2">aan>ke up not just to the Higher Self (sonship) but an class="hi2">aan>lso beyond to Christ an class="hi2">aan>nd to Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, it would become extremely, extremely difficult to man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan> body an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, an class="hi2">aan>nd more than class="hi2">aan>n likely the mind would han class="hi2">aan>ve to completely lean class="hi2">aan>ve bodies entirely an class="hi2">aan>nd then only return in the form of an class="hi2">aan> kind of an class="hi2">aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rition or temporan class="hi2">aan>ry iman class="hi2">aan>ge, which the mind is not an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll imprisoned by.
So you see, the body is not an class="hi2">aan>n idol. It is not God's grean class="hi2">aan>test crean class="hi2">aan>tion. It is not something to worship. it is not whan class="hi2">aan>t people an class="hi2">aan>re. It's not whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re. It is an class="hi2">aan> very hean class="hi2">aan>vy, very isolan class="hi2">aan>ting, very imprisoning suit of an class="hi2">aan>rmor, deliberan class="hi2">aan>tely man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> device for blocking an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan>nd diminishing the mind. It is the man class="hi2">aan>nifestan class="hi2">aan>tion of an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to be sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from God. It is an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of minds no longer being joined. an class="hi2">Aan>nd when minds become joined an class="hi2">aan>nd the mind becomes miran class="hi2">aan>culous, the body han class="hi2">aan>s to hean class="hi2">aan>l, up to an class="hi2">aan> point, but then the mind will stop crean class="hi2">aan>ting an class="hi2">aan> body.
How can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> mind than class="hi2">aan>t knows of an class="hi2">aan>bsolute oneness han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ny use for the body an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll? Yes Holy Spirit can class="hi2">aan>n use it for TRUE communican class="hi2">aan>tion, which mean class="hi2">aan>ns the MIND communican class="hi2">aan>ted with other minds directly - or ran class="hi2">aan>ther, "shan class="hi2">aan>res". But the body itself is nothing but an class="hi2">aan> temporan class="hi2">aan>ry tool in an class="hi2">aan> temporan class="hi2">aan>ry drean class="hi2">aan>m, which we do not NEED in order to exist an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore is not an class="hi2">aan>n inherent pan class="hi2">aan>rt of life. When Jesus wan class="hi2">aan>s done with His body he san class="hi2">aan>w no further truth in it an class="hi2">aan>nd it DISan class="hi2">Aan>PPEan class="hi2">Aan>RED. But he reman class="hi2">aan>ined, becan class="hi2">aan>use He is immortan class="hi2">aan>l spirit. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so an class="hi2">aan>re you.
P.S. "virtuan class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>lity" devices an class="hi2">aan>re now an class="hi2">aan> metan class="hi2">aan>phor for this... you stran class="hi2">aan>p on an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>rtifician class="hi2">aan>l body, an class="hi2">aan>ll of your visuan class="hi2">aan>l senses an class="hi2">aan>re completely imprisoned an class="hi2">aan>nd shut out from perceiving the 'rean class="hi2">aan>l room', you go inside an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ntan class="hi2">aan>sy world than class="hi2">aan>t doesn't exist, an class="hi2">aan>nd you see only whan class="hi2">aan>t this an class="hi2">aan>rtifician class="hi2">aan>l body wan class="hi2">aan>nts you to see. Your mind an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of the room outside is completely shut off, an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re immersed in an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m than class="hi2">aan>t you think is rean class="hi2">aan>l. an class="hi2">Aan>ll the while rean class="hi2">aan>l chan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>cters go an class="hi2">aan>bout their business in the san class="hi2">aan>me room knowing, from the outside, than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>sleep inside an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ke body looking an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ke world.

A lesson in applying the secret of salvation

In the pan class="hi2">aan>st, my wife becan class="hi2">aan>me disan class="hi2">aan>bled an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>s unan class="hi2">aan>ble to fend for herself.

Now, in than class="hi2">aan>t scenan class="hi2">aan>rio there wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> lot of pressure. Han class="hi2">aan>ving developed dementian class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd bran class="hi2">aan>in dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ges she would sometimes an class="hi2">aan>ct out, lan class="hi2">aan>shing out an class="hi2">aan>t people, hitting people, swean class="hi2">aan>ring an class="hi2">aan>t people. She didn't mean class="hi2">aan>n to, she couldn't control it.
Becan class="hi2">aan>use I took on responsibility for her life, I felt it wan class="hi2">aan>s up to me to keep her going, to man class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>ge her behan class="hi2">aan>viour, to feed clothe wan class="hi2">aan>sh an class="hi2">aan>nd support her, to an class="hi2">aan>dminister medican class="hi2">aan>tions, to tan class="hi2">aan>ke her to dian class="hi2">aan>lysis trean class="hi2">aan>tments 3 times an class="hi2">aan> week for yean class="hi2">aan>rs, to get through hospitan class="hi2">aan>l visits, to defend her an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst inept doctors an class="hi2">aan>nd nurses, an class="hi2">aan>nd to generan class="hi2">aan>lly try to stop her from dying.
an class="hi2">Aan>ll of this began class="hi2">aan>n to produce some ego-creep in me, in which I stan class="hi2">aan>rted to feel guilty, an class="hi2">aan>shan class="hi2">aan>med, emban class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>ssed, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id.

There wan class="hi2">aan>s shan class="hi2">aan>me an class="hi2">aan>nd emban class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>ssment an class="hi2">aan>nd guilt when she would an class="hi2">aan>ct out.

It would san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t if I wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id, I must've decided to buy into fean class="hi2">aan>r. It would san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t if I wan class="hi2">aan>s resisting dean class="hi2">aan>th, than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> choice on my pan class="hi2">aan>rt. It would san class="hi2">aan>y if I wan class="hi2">aan>s emban class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>ssed an class="hi2">aan>bout how she broke the rules todan class="hi2">aan>y, than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s something I wan class="hi2">aan>s tan class="hi2">aan>king personan class="hi2">aan>lly by myself.
So I han class="hi2">aan>d to look an class="hi2">aan>t this, becan class="hi2">aan>use it wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ll pan class="hi2">aan>rt of me becoming an class="hi2">aan> victim in this scenan class="hi2">aan>rio, of seeing myself an class="hi2">aan>s constan class="hi2">aan>ntly on the defensive, under an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, fighting an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the institutions. I han class="hi2">aan>d stan class="hi2">aan>rted to blan class="hi2">aan>me myself, than class="hi2">aan>t it wan class="hi2">aan>s my fan class="hi2">aan>ult. The sense of responsibility wan class="hi2">aan>s shifting into an class="hi2">aan> sense of personan class="hi2">aan>l guilt, than class="hi2">aan>t if an class="hi2">aan>nything went wrong somehow it reflected on me. Than class="hi2">aan>t if she an class="hi2">aan>cted out or man class="hi2">aan>de things worse for herself, it mean class="hi2">aan>nt I wan class="hi2">aan>s more an class="hi2">aan>shan class="hi2">aan>med somehow.
Obviously this is not something than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>nything to do with me rean class="hi2">aan>lly, wan class="hi2">aan>s not my fan class="hi2">aan>ult or my doing. But of course when you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> lot of socian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd peer pressure an class="hi2">aan>nd medican class="hi2">aan>l pressure an class="hi2">aan>nd even legan class="hi2">aan>l pressure to san class="hi2">aan>y, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to look an class="hi2">aan>fter her right otherwise the punishment will come, than class="hi2">aan>t can class="hi2">aan>n be very tempting. I did buy into it to some degree, an class="hi2">aan>nd I tan class="hi2">aan>ke tan class="hi2">aan>ke it on an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> personan class="hi2">aan>l thing. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this resulted in my an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking myself.
So in order to an class="hi2">aan>pply the secret of san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion, I han class="hi2">aan>ve to look an class="hi2">aan>t than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nd see, I wan class="hi2">aan>s NOT being can class="hi2">aan>used by other people, I wan class="hi2">aan>s not responsible for whan class="hi2">aan>t she did even if in physican class="hi2">aan>l terms I wan class="hi2">aan>s, I wan class="hi2">aan>s not guilty for an class="hi2">aan>nything than class="hi2">aan>t went wrong, I wan class="hi2">aan>s not shan class="hi2">aan>meful for her lan class="hi2">aan>shing out an class="hi2">aan>t people, an class="hi2">aan>nd I wan class="hi2">aan>s not to be blan class="hi2">aan>med for fan class="hi2">aan>ilures an class="hi2">aan>nd losses an class="hi2">aan>nd dran class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>nd van class="hi2">aan>rious other forms of things I couldn't control.
The secret san class="hi2">aan>ys, than class="hi2">aan>t if you an class="hi2">aan>re upset, you an class="hi2">aan>re doing it to yourself. So than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns, I man class="hi2">aan>de myself guilty. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns I shan class="hi2">aan>med myself, it wan class="hi2">aan>sn't other people doing it. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns I man class="hi2">aan>de myself an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id by believing in the body an class="hi2">aan>nd in dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd in threan class="hi2">aan>ts. It mean class="hi2">aan>ns I chose to be emban class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>ssed, to feel incan class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble, to feel loss. I did than class="hi2">aan>t to myself.
You might an class="hi2">aan>lso san class="hi2">aan>y, it's quite an class="hi2">aan> tan class="hi2">aan>ll order to expect someone going through such an class="hi2">aan> difficult thing to han class="hi2">aan>ve to rise up to an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of perfection. To not rean class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, to han class="hi2">aan>ve no investment, to not tan class="hi2">aan>ke things personan class="hi2">aan>lly, to not feel threan class="hi2">aan>tened. Indeed it is quite an class="hi2">aan> tan class="hi2">aan>ll order. But it's the ego than class="hi2">aan>t rean class="hi2">aan>lly man class="hi2">aan>kes things feel like hell, it's the lan class="hi2">aan>ck of responsibility an class="hi2">aan>nd power than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>kes you see yourself an class="hi2">aan>s victimised an class="hi2">aan>nd under an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck. It's not our nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>te to be positioned an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> victim like than class="hi2">aan>t.
So I tan class="hi2">aan>ke my power ban class="hi2">aan>ck. The power than class="hi2">aan>t I gan class="hi2">aan>ve to these people, the power than class="hi2">aan>t I gan class="hi2">aan>ve to the situan class="hi2">aan>tion, the power than class="hi2">aan>t I gan class="hi2">aan>ve to her. I tan class="hi2">aan>ke ban class="hi2">aan>ck the power than class="hi2">aan>t I disowned by plan class="hi2">aan>ying an class="hi2">aan> role of can class="hi2">aan>regiver an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>viour an class="hi2">aan>nd protector. I tan class="hi2">aan>ke ban class="hi2">aan>ck the power than class="hi2">aan>t san class="hi2">aan>id it wan class="hi2">aan>s my fan class="hi2">aan>ult, my job, my responsibility, my role an class="hi2">aan>nd identity, to han class="hi2">aan>ve to be responsible for an class="hi2">aan>nother person's life an class="hi2">aan>nd wellbeing. I tan class="hi2">aan>ke ban class="hi2">aan>ck my power to recognize I chose to see myself an class="hi2">aan>s under pressure an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck, threan class="hi2">aan>tened by dean class="hi2">aan>th an class="hi2">aan>nd its cohorts, an class="hi2">aan>nd these things han class="hi2">aan>ve NO power over me.
It is ONLY by tan class="hi2">aan>king ban class="hi2">aan>ck your power than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n be not an class="hi2">aan> victim, can class="hi2">aan>n let go of the van class="hi2">aan>rious victim roles like being guilty or an class="hi2">aan>shan class="hi2">aan>med, emban class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>ssed or lost, an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>nd powerless. For me it wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> profound lesson which an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly, overan class="hi2">aan>ll, did increan class="hi2">aan>se my power an class="hi2">aan>nd my an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan>nd my sense of responsibility. It wan class="hi2">aan>sn't an class="hi2">aan> loss or an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ilure, it's just than class="hi2">aan>t the lesson wan class="hi2">aan>s so strong than class="hi2">aan>t it an class="hi2">aan>lso knocked me down an class="hi2">aan> few pegs in some an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>nd becan class="hi2">aan>me overwhelming.
I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan> victim of the world. I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan> victim of doctors an class="hi2">aan>nd nurses. I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan> victim of the lan class="hi2">aan>w. I an class="hi2">aan> not an class="hi2">aan> victim of offician class="hi2">aan>l rules or requirements or pan class="hi2">aan>perwork or legan class="hi2">aan>l proceedings. I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan> victim of whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nother person needs or how they an class="hi2">aan>ct or whan class="hi2">aan>t they choose to do to others. I an class="hi2">aan>m not responsible for can class="hi2">aan>using my wife's suffering or sickness or behan class="hi2">aan>viours. I an class="hi2">aan>m not guilty, an class="hi2">aan>nd I an class="hi2">aan>m not an class="hi2">aan>shan class="hi2">aan>med. I an class="hi2">aan>m the holy son of God, guiltless an class="hi2">aan>nd sinless, pure an class="hi2">aan>nd innocent.
We must think of ourselves an class="hi2">aan>s immortan class="hi2">aan>l beings, still an class="hi2">aan>s God cran class="hi2">aan>ted us, still perfect an class="hi2">aan>nd pure an class="hi2">aan>nd holy an class="hi2">aan>nd good.

We han class="hi2">aan>ve never been an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked by an class="hi2">aan>nyone or an class="hi2">aan>nything in the world. We can class="hi2">aan>nnot suffer unless we try to man class="hi2">aan>ke ourselves suffer. I wan class="hi2">aan>s not suffering becan class="hi2">aan>use of the situan class="hi2">aan>tion, or my wife, or the medican class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>ffs, or fan class="hi2">aan>mily members, or an class="hi2">aan>nyone else.

Forgiveness as a recognition of your true self

It man class="hi2">aan>y seem than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve fan class="hi2">aan>llen from gran class="hi2">aan>ce, han class="hi2">aan>ve become corrupted, dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ged an class="hi2">aan>nd broken. It man class="hi2">aan>y seem you han class="hi2">aan>ve become hurt or han class="hi2">aan>ve hurt yourself, an class="hi2">aan>nd now need hean class="hi2">aan>ling. It man class="hi2">aan>y seem something is wrong with you, you han class="hi2">aan>ve sinned an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re guilty. It man class="hi2">aan>y seem you han class="hi2">aan>ve rean class="hi2">aan>sons to be an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id.
In seeking hean class="hi2">aan>ling, you might then look to try to chan class="hi2">aan>nge yourself, an class="hi2">aan>s though trying to turn yourself into an class="hi2">aan> more spirituan class="hi2">aan>l person. You might strive to be more loving, or to grow an class="hi2">aan>nd evolve.
But let's first remember an class="hi2">aan>n importan class="hi2">aan>nt fan class="hi2">aan>ct. God crean class="hi2">aan>ted you perfect an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy. There is nothing you can class="hi2">aan>n do to an class="hi2">aan>dd to or remove an class="hi2">aan>nything from your holy self. Your soul is divine an class="hi2">aan>nd perfect an class="hi2">aan>nd immortan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd perman class="hi2">aan>nent. It never chan class="hi2">aan>nges an class="hi2">aan>nd needs no hean class="hi2">aan>ling of an class="hi2">aan>ny kind. Than class="hi2">aan>t is who an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re.
So with than class="hi2">aan>t fan class="hi2">aan>ct in mind, it is no longer an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of discovering how you "rean class="hi2">aan>lly were hurt" or "whan class="hi2">aan>t sin you committed" than class="hi2">aan>t you're trying to undo. It can class="hi2">aan>n't be true than class="hi2">aan>t you WERE hurt or DID sin, if God crean class="hi2">aan>ted you perman class="hi2">aan>nently perfect.
So if you an class="hi2">aan>re perman class="hi2">aan>nently perfect, even entering into stan class="hi2">aan>tes of han class="hi2">aan>rm, suffering, unconsciousness, sickness or unhan class="hi2">aan>ppiness, can class="hi2">aan>nnot an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly CHan class="hi2">Aan>NGE or UNDO your perman class="hi2">aan>nent perfection. These must be forms of denian class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan> disguise, an class="hi2">aan> deception, something untrue. They can class="hi2">aan>n't even be rean class="hi2">aan>l sicknesses or rean class="hi2">aan>l sins or rean class="hi2">aan>l unhan class="hi2">aan>ppiness.
The question then is, if your self is perfect an class="hi2">aan>nd perman class="hi2">aan>nently can class="hi2">aan>n never chan class="hi2">aan>nge or be chan class="hi2">aan>nged, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s not stopped being innocent an class="hi2">aan>nd holy an class="hi2">aan>nd immortan class="hi2">aan>l, whan class="hi2">aan>t is it than class="hi2">aan>t is keeping you from han class="hi2">aan>ppiness, wholeness, hean class="hi2">aan>lth an class="hi2">aan>nd holiness?
It can class="hi2">aan>n only be than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re blocking an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RENESS of an class="hi2">aan> PRE-EXISTING condition of perception. It can class="hi2">aan>n only be than class="hi2">aan>t for some rean class="hi2">aan>son you an class="hi2">aan>re in denian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>bout being immortan class="hi2">aan>l, an class="hi2">aan>re trying to be something else, an class="hi2">aan>re trying to man class="hi2">aan>ke something untrue true or believe something is rean class="hi2">aan>l than class="hi2">aan>t isn't.
Somehow behind your "problem", or your stan class="hi2">aan>te of "needing hean class="hi2">aan>ling", there is an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy an class="hi2">aan> fully hean class="hi2">aan>led self. So whan class="hi2">aan>t then is hean class="hi2">aan>ling? It's rean class="hi2">aan>lly more to do with questioning the dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ge, or seeing through the illusion of not being perfect an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy, than class="hi2">aan>n trying to tran class="hi2">aan>nsform an class="hi2">aan> "rean class="hi2">aan>l problem".
an class="hi2">Aan>nd ultiman class="hi2">aan>tely than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns, an class="hi2">aan>s per an class="hi2">aan>tonement, which is forgiveness, an class="hi2">aan>nd the ONLY mean class="hi2">aan>ns of san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPTan class="hi2">Aan>NCE OF THE TRUTH an class="hi2">Aan>BOUT YOU is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly the key to an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening. We an class="hi2">aan>re to Wan class="hi2">Aan>KE UP TO the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>LREan class="hi2">Aan>DY OK.
This an class="hi2">aan>lso ties into the secret of san class="hi2">aan>lvan class="hi2">aan>tion, than class="hi2">aan>t if you would just stop TRYING to man class="hi2">aan>ke true something than class="hi2">aan>t isn't, TRYING to prove you can class="hi2">aan>n be hurt, TRYING to die, you would simply bounce ban class="hi2">aan>ck to your perfect immortan class="hi2">aan>l self an class="hi2">aan>nd be an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>re of living forever an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n invulneran class="hi2">aan>ble eternan class="hi2">aan>l being.
We an class="hi2">aan>re to become an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RE OF our hean class="hi2">aan>led holy nan class="hi2">aan>ture. We an class="hi2">aan>re to RE-an class="hi2">Aan>CCESS our immortan class="hi2">aan>lity. It han class="hi2">aan>s been blocked, covered up, hidden, an class="hi2">aan>nd seemingly lost tran class="hi2">aan>ck of, behind wan class="hi2">aan>lls of denian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd deception. an class="hi2">Aan>nd even things which seem like rean class="hi2">aan>l problems or rean class="hi2">aan>l dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ge, can class="hi2">aan>nnot be than class="hi2">aan>t. They must han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> different purpose, to HIDE the truth than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re NOT dan class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>ged, NOT broken, an class="hi2">aan>nd NOT sick.
"You an class="hi2">aan>re immortan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>nnot die, but you can class="hi2">aan>n confuse yourself with things than class="hi2">aan>t do."
Forgiveness, if thought of an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> pran class="hi2">aan>ctican class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>pplied an class="hi2">aan>tonement principle, is the an class="hi2">aan>ct of moving towan class="hi2">aan>rds an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RENESS OF your pre-existing, an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy-estan class="hi2">aan>blished, unan class="hi2">aan>ssan class="hi2">aan>iled inner perfection. IT is an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy THERE, wan class="hi2">aan>iting for you to an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge it an class="hi2">aan>nd live from it. It doesn't need you to invent it or define it, only to an class="hi2">aan>ccept it an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>llow it an class="hi2">aan>nd be gran class="hi2">aan>teful than class="hi2">aan>t God crean class="hi2">aan>ted you flan class="hi2">aan>wlessly.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t is this movement "towan class="hi2">aan>rd" the an class="hi2">aan>tonement? It is an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>king up. It is an class="hi2">aan> removan class="hi2">aan>l of blocks. It is an class="hi2">aan>n uncovering of truth. It is an class="hi2">aan> willingness to an class="hi2">aan>ccept God's rean class="hi2">aan>lity ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n your own man class="hi2">aan>de-up illusions. It's an class="hi2">aan> RECOGNITION of whan class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly TRUE an class="hi2">aan>bout you, versus the confusion of whan class="hi2">aan>t SEEMS to be true but isn't.
It's an class="hi2">aan> vertican class="hi2">aan>l movement, upwan class="hi2">aan>rds towan class="hi2">aan>rds the light in which you can class="hi2">aan>n SEE, an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from the dan class="hi2">aan>rkness in which you an class="hi2">aan>re confused an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t is true. It's the wan class="hi2">aan>y out of hell, into hean class="hi2">aan>ven. It's your rising, or resurrection, an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from the stan class="hi2">aan>te of dean class="hi2">aan>th (unconsciousness) towan class="hi2">aan>rds life (an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of eternity).
Either you forgive an class="hi2">aan>nd move upwan class="hi2">aan>rds in an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan>nd freedom from dan class="hi2">aan>rkness, or you move downwan class="hi2">aan>rds into unforgiveness an class="hi2">aan>nd grievan class="hi2">aan>nce an class="hi2">aan>nd suffering. Forgiveness is therefore the ONLY Wan class="hi2">Aan>Y out of hell, but IS an class="hi2">aan> guan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nteed wan class="hi2">aan>y out of hell, an class="hi2">aan>nd the only wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t WORKS.
To forgive is to let go of whan class="hi2">aan>t is not true an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccept whan class="hi2">aan>t is. To forgive is to relinquish fan class="hi2">aan>lse beliefs an class="hi2">aan>nd embran class="hi2">aan>ce rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
To forgive is to return to the love of God an class="hi2">aan>nd let go of fean class="hi2">aan>r.
To forgive is to let go of who you thought you were, an class="hi2">aan>nd resume being your rean class="hi2">aan>l self.
The goan class="hi2">aan>l of the course is to "Know thyself." To simply BE still the san class="hi2">aan>me perfection than class="hi2">aan>t God crean class="hi2">aan>ted you to be. You an class="hi2">aan>re this an class="hi2">Aan>LREan class="hi2">Aan>DY, you just don't wan class="hi2">aan>nt to an class="hi2">aan>ccept it or own up to it yet. You han class="hi2">aan>ve not yet "come out an class="hi2">aan>s Christ", preferring to plan class="hi2">aan>y with littleness. You an class="hi2">aan>re God's perfect crean class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys will be. Your rean class="hi2">aan>l self is wan class="hi2">aan>iting for you.

He pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>rly uses the term "in hean class="hi2">aan>ven" an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n opposite to "on ean class="hi2">aan>rth". This clean class="hi2">aan>rly implies to most rean class="hi2">aan>ders than class="hi2">aan>t hean class="hi2">aan>ven is some kind of plan class="hi2">aan>ce which is "not ean class="hi2">aan>rth", which is "other than class="hi2">aan>n ean class="hi2">aan>rth", which is "beyond ean class="hi2">aan>rth", an class="hi2">aan>nd which you can class="hi2">aan>n "be in" an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>lternan class="hi2">aan>tive to "being on ean class="hi2">aan>rth".
"The Kingdom of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is the dwelling plan class="hi2">aan>ce of the Son of God, who left not his Fan class="hi2">aan>ther, an class="hi2">aan>nd dwells not an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt from Him."
"Hean class="hi2">aan>ven wan class="hi2">aan>its for his return, for it wan class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>s the dwelling plan class="hi2">aan>ce of God's Son."
Jesus clean class="hi2">aan>rly distinguishes than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re two plan class="hi2">aan>ces. You can class="hi2">aan>n be in hean class="hi2">aan>ven, an class="hi2">aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>n be on the ean class="hi2">aan>rth. an class="hi2">Aan>nd they an class="hi2">aan>re not the san class="hi2">aan>me. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> van class="hi2">aan>st rean class="hi2">aan>lm of crean class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd living beings which ean class="hi2">aan>rth ban class="hi2">aan>rely han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ny an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness of. an class="hi2">Aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ven is an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce you can class="hi2">aan>n "go to". Do not be deceived by stan class="hi2">aan>tements such an class="hi2">aan>s "hean class="hi2">aan>ven is not an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce", becan class="hi2">aan>use this refers only to it not being locan class="hi2">aan>lized in span class="hi2">aan>ce. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is everywhere, ean class="hi2">aan>rth is nowhere.
It is an class="hi2">aan>lso clean class="hi2">aan>r than class="hi2">aan>t hean class="hi2">aan>ven's properties an class="hi2">aan>re not like the properties of ean class="hi2">aan>rth. We can class="hi2">aan>n bring some an class="hi2">aan>spects of hean class="hi2">aan>ven "down" onto the ean class="hi2">aan>rth, such an class="hi2">aan>s forgiveness which symbolizes hean class="hi2">aan>ven, an class="hi2">aan>nd such an class="hi2">aan>s holy relan class="hi2">aan>tionships which symbolize rean class="hi2">aan>l relan class="hi2">aan>tionships in hean class="hi2">aan>ven. Indeed ean class="hi2">aan>rth can class="hi2">aan>n even "reflect" hean class="hi2">aan>ven. But it can class="hi2">aan>nnot BE hean class="hi2">aan>ven.
Jesus is clean class="hi2">aan>r than class="hi2">aan>t these an class="hi2">aan>re two stan class="hi2">aan>tes an class="hi2">aan>nd two orders of rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd they an class="hi2">aan>re opposites. an class="hi2">Aan>nd even when ean class="hi2">aan>rth is reinterpreted "an class="hi2">aan>s if pan class="hi2">aan>rt of hean class="hi2">aan>ven", it is still not the san class="hi2">aan>me. Nor is there an class="hi2">aan>ny life outside of hean class="hi2">aan>ven, an class="hi2">aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>rth is outside of hean class="hi2">aan>ven.
You can class="hi2">aan>n be on the ean class="hi2">aan>rth, or in hean class="hi2">aan>ven. On the ean class="hi2">aan>rth, your function is to forgive an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>l to prepan class="hi2">aan>re your mind for God to tan class="hi2">aan>ke the finan class="hi2">aan>l step, which literan class="hi2">aan>lly tan class="hi2">aan>kes you OFF the ean class="hi2">aan>rth an class="hi2">aan>nd INTO hean class="hi2">aan>ven. Ban class="hi2">aan>ck home to God where you belong. Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is your home. Ean class="hi2">aan>rth is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>lien world to you. Forgive the world an class="hi2">aan>nd go home.
"Let me know than class="hi2">aan>t I an class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>n Effect of God, an class="hi2">aan>nd so I han class="hi2">aan>ve the power to crean class="hi2">aan>te like You. an class="hi2">Aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s it is in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, so on ean class="hi2">aan>rth. Your plan class="hi2">aan>n I follow here, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>t the end I know than class="hi2">aan>t You will gan class="hi2">aan>ther Your Effects into the tran class="hi2">aan>nquil Hean class="hi2">aan>ven of Your Love, where ean class="hi2">aan>rth will disan class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>r, an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te things unite in glory an class="hi2">aan>s the Son of God."
"Jesus is the man class="hi2">aan>nifestan class="hi2">aan>tion of the Holy Spirit, Whom he can class="hi2">aan>lled down upon the ean class="hi2">aan>rth an class="hi2">aan>fter he an class="hi2">aan>scended into Hean class="hi2">aan>ven, or becan class="hi2">aan>me completely identified with the Christ, the Son of God an class="hi2">aan>s He crean class="hi2">aan>ted Him."
"He wan class="hi2">aan>s "can class="hi2">aan>lled down upon the ean class="hi2">aan>rth"
"an class="hi2">Aan>ll power in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>rth is therefore given him an class="hi2">aan>nd he will shan class="hi2">aan>re it with you when you han class="hi2">aan>ve completed yours."
"Yet forgiveness is the mean class="hi2">aan>ns by which I will recognize my innocence. It is the reflection of God's Love on ean class="hi2">aan>rth. It will bring me nean class="hi2">aan>r enough to Hean class="hi2">aan>ven than class="hi2">aan>t the Love of God can class="hi2">aan>n rean class="hi2">aan>ch down to me an class="hi2">aan>nd ran class="hi2">aan>ise me to my home."
"His holy will can class="hi2">aan>n never be denied, becan class="hi2">aan>use his Fan class="hi2">aan>ther shines upon his mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd lan class="hi2">aan>ys before it an class="hi2">aan>ll the strength an class="hi2">aan>nd love in ean class="hi2">aan>rth an class="hi2">aan>nd Hean class="hi2">aan>ven."
"Forgiveness represents your function here. It is not God's crean class="hi2">aan>tion, for it is the mean class="hi2">aan>ns by which untruth can class="hi2">aan>n be undone. an class="hi2">Aan>nd who would pan class="hi2">aan>rdon Hean class="hi2">aan>ven? Yet on ean class="hi2">aan>rth you need the mean class="hi2">aan>ns to let illusion go. Crean class="hi2">aan>tion merely wan class="hi2">aan>its for your return to be an class="hi2">aan>cknowledged, not to be complete."
"Crean class="hi2">aan>tion can class="hi2">aan>nnot even be conceived of in the world. It han class="hi2">aan>s no mean class="hi2">aan>ning here. Forgiveness is the closest it can class="hi2">aan>n come to ean class="hi2">aan>rth. For being Hean class="hi2">aan>ven-borne, it han class="hi2">aan>s no form an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll."
"The gifts of God an class="hi2">aan>re in my han class="hi2">aan>nds, to give to an class="hi2">aan>nyone who would exchan class="hi2">aan>nge the world for Hean class="hi2">aan>ven."
"Fan class="hi2">aan>ther, in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven it is different, for there, there an class="hi2">aan>re no needs. But here on ean class="hi2">aan>rth the miran class="hi2">aan>cle is closer to Your gifts than class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ny other gift which I can class="hi2">aan>n give."
"For God's Will is done in ean class="hi2">aan>rth an class="hi2">aan>nd Hean class="hi2">aan>ven."
"The Thought God holds of you is like an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>r, unchan class="hi2">aan>ngean class="hi2">aan>ble in an class="hi2">aan>n eternan class="hi2">aan>l sky. So high in Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is it set than class="hi2">aan>t those outside of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven know not it is there."
"The sky embran class="hi2">aan>ces it, an class="hi2">aan>nd softly holds it in its perfect plan class="hi2">aan>ce, which is an class="hi2">aan>s fan class="hi2">aan>r from ean class="hi2">aan>rth an class="hi2">aan>s ean class="hi2">aan>rth from Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. It is not the distan class="hi2">aan>nce nor the time which keeps this stan class="hi2">aan>r invisible to ean class="hi2">aan>rth. But those who seek for idols Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT know this stan class="hi2">aan>r is there."
"Yet he whom I forgive will give me gifts beyond the worth of an class="hi2">aan>nything on ean class="hi2">aan>rth. Let my forgiven brothers fill my store with Hean class="hi2">aan>ven's trean class="hi2">aan>sures, which an class="hi2">aan>lone an class="hi2">aan>re rean class="hi2">aan>l."
"The song of freedom, which sings the pran class="hi2">aan>ises of an class="hi2">Aan>NOTHER world, brings to it hope of pean class="hi2">aan>ce.

How the physical world is a holographic dream

Sorry this is an class="hi2">aan> bit longish... it's han class="hi2">aan>rd to explan class="hi2">aan>in.
The physican class="hi2">aan>l world is an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>phic drean class="hi2">aan>m. But the wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t it is hologran class="hi2">aan>phic isn't very obvious. an class="hi2">Aan>nd most people do not believe it is an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m!
Firstly, an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>m is not an class="hi2">aan> projected 3D iman class="hi2">aan>ge. It is not the hollywoodized concept of an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>rtifician class="hi2">aan>l three-dimensionan class="hi2">aan>l object projected in span class="hi2">aan>ce than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n view from an class="hi2">aan>ny an class="hi2">aan>ngle. Than class="hi2">aan>t very loosely is tied to the idean class="hi2">aan> of an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>nd they just ran class="hi2">aan>n with it an class="hi2">aan>nd turned it into an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>rketing exercise.
Hologran class="hi2">aan>ms han class="hi2">aan>ve some interesting properties which describe the wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t this world is put together, an class="hi2">aan>nd the rean class="hi2">aan>son why it is an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m.
You will see an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>m on most credit can class="hi2">aan>rds. It's the little shiny symbol in the corner which, if you look an class="hi2">aan>t it from different an class="hi2">aan>ngles, an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>rs to let you see an class="hi2">aan> virtuan class="hi2">aan>l object suspended in span class="hi2">aan>ce. You an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly seem to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to look an class="hi2">aan>t it from different an class="hi2">aan>ngles, even though it's an class="hi2">aan> flan class="hi2">aan>t iman class="hi2">aan>ge. They use this on can class="hi2">aan>rds becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re han class="hi2">aan>rd to man class="hi2">aan>nufan class="hi2">aan>cture, requiring precise lan class="hi2">aan>ser technology, so this offers an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in level of protection an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst fran class="hi2">aan>udulent can class="hi2">aan>rds.
The idean class="hi2">aan> of an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>m is than class="hi2">aan>t informan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>bout the whole of something is present in an class="hi2">aan>ll of the pan class="hi2">aan>rts. On your credit can class="hi2">aan>rd, informan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>bout the iman class="hi2">aan>ge of an class="hi2">aan>n object an class="hi2">aan>s viewed from countless different an class="hi2">aan>ngles, is embedded into ean class="hi2">aan>ch tiny pan class="hi2">aan>rticle of the iman class="hi2">aan>ge. It's an class="hi2">aan>s though there were thousan class="hi2">aan>nds of can class="hi2">aan>meran class="hi2">aan>s recording iman class="hi2">aan>ges of the object from different an class="hi2">aan>ngles, an class="hi2">aan>nd then an class="hi2">aan>ll of these iman class="hi2">aan>ges were overlan class="hi2">aan>id on top of ean class="hi2">aan>ch other. Therefore ean class="hi2">aan>ch pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the iman class="hi2">aan>ge contan class="hi2">aan>ins an class="hi2">aan> ton of informan class="hi2">aan>tion, much more than class="hi2">aan>n just one pan class="hi2">aan>rticle of iman class="hi2">aan>ge.
One wan class="hi2">aan>y to produce an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>m like this is to crean class="hi2">aan>te tiny 3-dimensionan class="hi2">aan>l bumps which you project different iman class="hi2">aan>ges onto from an class="hi2">aan> specific direction. When your viewing an class="hi2">aan>ngle chan class="hi2">aan>nges, you see an class="hi2">aan> different side of the bumps thus forming an class="hi2">aan> different iman class="hi2">aan>ge. Than class="hi2">aan>t's an class="hi2">aan> very loose an class="hi2">aan>pproximan class="hi2">aan>tion of how an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>m works.
One of the properties of an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>m, therefore, is than class="hi2">aan>t if you remove an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>l portion of the hologran class="hi2">aan>phic iman class="hi2">aan>ge, it does not lose an class="hi2">aan> specific portion of the informan class="hi2">aan>tion stored in it. Than class="hi2">aan>t's becan class="hi2">aan>use the san class="hi2">aan>me informan class="hi2">aan>tion is present in an class="hi2">aan>ll of the other pan class="hi2">aan>rts of the iman class="hi2">aan>ge. It's like storing the san class="hi2">aan>me piece of dan class="hi2">aan>tan class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan> thousan class="hi2">aan>nd times scan class="hi2">aan>ttered an class="hi2">aan>cross the surfan class="hi2">aan>ce. Chopping off an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the object does not lose informan class="hi2">aan>tion stored in than class="hi2">aan>t pan class="hi2">aan>rt, it only reduces the overan class="hi2">aan>ll sum totan class="hi2">aan>l of occurrences of the informan class="hi2">aan>tion.
In the book, The Hologran class="hi2">aan>phic Universe, it wan class="hi2">aan>s described for exan class="hi2">aan>mple than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> person han class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan> portion of their bran class="hi2">aan>in removed. It wan class="hi2">aan>s believed by science than class="hi2">aan>t certan class="hi2">aan>in memories were stored in than class="hi2">aan>t pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the bran class="hi2">aan>in, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t removing it would definitely produce an class="hi2">aan> memory loss. However, an class="hi2">aan>fterwan class="hi2">aan>rds, the person still could recan class="hi2">aan>ll the memory, it wan class="hi2">aan>s just an class="hi2">aan> little fuzzy. Than class="hi2">aan>t's becan class="hi2">aan>use the memory wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly stored throughout the bran class="hi2">aan>in in an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>phic man class="hi2">aan>nner, mean class="hi2">aan>ning than class="hi2">aan>t "an class="hi2">aan>ll" of the memory wan class="hi2">aan>s stored in "every pan class="hi2">aan>rt" of the bran class="hi2">aan>in. Removing one pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the bran class="hi2">aan>in did not remove an class="hi2">aan> specific portion of the memory. The memory could still be recan class="hi2">aan>lled an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>ssembled becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>ll of it wan class="hi2">aan>s stored in an class="hi2">aan>ll pan class="hi2">aan>rts. Just with an class="hi2">aan> little less clan class="hi2">aan>rity. The bran class="hi2">aan>in is hologran class="hi2">aan>phic.
So in an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>m, ean class="hi2">aan>ch specific pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">aan>n object isn't JUST than class="hi2">aan>t pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the object, it is an class="hi2">aan>lso connected to an class="hi2">aan>nd shan class="hi2">aan>res informan class="hi2">aan>tion with an class="hi2">aan>ll of the other pan class="hi2">aan>rts. This is an class="hi2">aan>lso similan class="hi2">aan>r to the scientific theory than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>tter is energy which exists an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> kind of field of potentian class="hi2">aan>lity, which, when you look an class="hi2">aan>t it with consciousness, it condenses the field into an class="hi2">aan> tight point an class="hi2">aan>nd shows up an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rticle. The pan class="hi2">aan>rticle then seems to be the only pan class="hi2">aan>rt visible so you think than class="hi2">aan>t than class="hi2">aan>t's an class="hi2">aan>ll there is to it, but the pan class="hi2">aan>rticle an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly is still intiman class="hi2">aan>tely connected to an class="hi2">aan>nd extends into the field. Thus there is an class="hi2">aan>n extension beyond the form of man class="hi2">aan>tter.
an class="hi2">Aan>nother word than class="hi2">aan>t describes this extension beyond the form, an class="hi2">aan>nd the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t the pan class="hi2">aan>rt contan class="hi2">aan>ins the whole, is an class="hi2">aan> "symbol". Symbols an class="hi2">aan>re representan class="hi2">aan>tions of something grean class="hi2">aan>ter beyond themselves. They an class="hi2">aan>re not the thing, but they're sort of an class="hi2">aan> condensed representan class="hi2">aan>tion of the core quan class="hi2">aan>lities of the thing. They an class="hi2">aan>llude to something beyond themselves, an class="hi2">aan>nd they point in the direction of the whole of the thing they represent. They don't show up an class="hi2">aan>s the thing in its entirety, only an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> sman class="hi2">aan>ll iman class="hi2">aan>ge which "symbolizes" the thing. an class="hi2">Aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t is it than class="hi2">aan>t we know of than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>re built from symbols? Drean class="hi2">aan>ms.
Now, the rean class="hi2">aan>son than class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>n't usuan class="hi2">aan>lly tell this physican class="hi2">aan>l universe is an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>phic drean class="hi2">aan>m, is becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">aan>s much evidence an class="hi2">aan>s possible than class="hi2">aan>t ean class="hi2">aan>ch pan class="hi2">aan>rt (pan class="hi2">aan>rticle) is connected to the "an class="hi2">aan>ll" han class="hi2">aan>s been squeezed out. The man class="hi2">aan>tter than class="hi2">aan>t shows up, an class="hi2">aan>s form an class="hi2">aan>nd objects an class="hi2">aan>nd bodies an class="hi2">aan>nd worlds, an class="hi2">aan>re symbols representing energies than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>re fan class="hi2">aan>r bigger than class="hi2">aan>n the objects themselves, an class="hi2">aan>nd which connect the objects together. In other words, there is an class="hi2">aan> lot of SHan class="hi2">Aan>RING going on behind the scenes, but by the time the energy field coan class="hi2">aan>lesces into tight concentran class="hi2">aan>tions - an class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>tter - you only see the concentran class="hi2">aan>tions ie forms, an class="hi2">aan>nd you don't rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t these forms an class="hi2">aan>re symbolic of something more beyond them. You fixan class="hi2">aan>te on the form of whan class="hi2">aan>t is visible an class="hi2">aan>nd think than class="hi2">aan>t this is an class="hi2">aan>ll there is, an class="hi2">aan>s though the symbol is not rean class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan> symbol but is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly the whole 'thing' in completeness.
So an class="hi2">aan>t the most extremely sprean class="hi2">aan>d out end of the hologran class="hi2">aan>m, which is the physican class="hi2">aan>l universe, it an class="hi2">Aan>PPEan class="hi2">Aan>RS than class="hi2">aan>t there is no shan class="hi2">aan>ring. Pan class="hi2">aan>rticles do not seem to shan class="hi2">aan>re the san class="hi2">aan>me span class="hi2">aan>ce. They do not seem to be connected. Everything seems to be sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted out. Objects do not rean class="hi2">aan>lly touch ean class="hi2">aan>ch other, but an class="hi2">aan>re held an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> distan class="hi2">aan>nce by forces. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so this man class="hi2">aan>kes us believe than class="hi2">aan>t ean class="hi2">aan>ch object does not shan class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>nything with other objects, pan class="hi2">aan>rticulan class="hi2">aan>rly if you fixan class="hi2">aan>te on the object's form an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nce. This is an class="hi2">aan>n ILLUSION. It's an class="hi2">aan>n illusion composed of SYMBOLS, which you han class="hi2">aan>ve interpreted incorrectly to be NOT symbolic, an class="hi2">aan>nd instean class="hi2">aan>d see only the condensed form of the hologran class="hi2">aan>m, which man class="hi2">aan>kes you think than class="hi2">aan>t physican class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>tter is entirely fixed an class="hi2">aan>nd is showing you an class="hi2">aan>ll of whan class="hi2">aan>t exists.
This illusion, then, than class="hi2">aan>t man class="hi2">aan>tter is an class="hi2">aan>ll sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t there is no shan class="hi2">aan>ring going on, deceives you to believe this world is not an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>m, becan class="hi2">aan>use you don't SEE the wan class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t the pan class="hi2">aan>rticles an class="hi2">aan>re joined together, or joined to the whole. You an class="hi2">aan>lso don't see the wan class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t the whole is present in every pan class="hi2">aan>rt. You don't recognize, an class="hi2">aan>nd your body can class="hi2">aan>n't show you, than class="hi2">aan>t this so-can class="hi2">aan>lled rean class="hi2">aan>lity is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly just an class="hi2">aan> SYMBOLIC collection of temporan class="hi2">aan>ry iman class="hi2">aan>ges, not an class="hi2">aan> finan class="hi2">aan>l end-stan class="hi2">aan>te in its own right but an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce than class="hi2">aan>t points beyond itself.
Just an class="hi2">aan>s your drean class="hi2">aan>ms an class="hi2">aan>t night an class="hi2">aan>re highly symbolic, so too the physican class="hi2">aan>l world is completely symbolic. There an class="hi2">aan>re estan class="hi2">aan>blished man class="hi2">aan>ssive symbols in this world which represent an class="hi2">aan>ll kinds of an class="hi2">aan>spects of the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion idean class="hi2">aan>. For exan class="hi2">aan>mple, outer span class="hi2">aan>ce, empty an class="hi2">aan>nd blan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd cold, symbolizes the unconscious mind, whereby instean class="hi2">aan>d of there being light everywhere, light is denied an class="hi2">aan>nd reduced to tiny concentran class="hi2">aan>tions - which you can class="hi2">aan>ll stan class="hi2">aan>rs, which an class="hi2">aan>re symbols of the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd the conscious mind an class="hi2">aan>s sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted selves. If you go into it, there an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>ny man class="hi2">aan>ny symbols in this world representing the structure of the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd its interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion of the truth. The body is an class="hi2">aan> symbol of the idean class="hi2">aan> of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from the whole environment, for exan class="hi2">aan>mple. It is not just an class="hi2">aan> form an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> finite thing in its own right, it REPRESENTS the idean class="hi2">aan> in the mind than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from the whole. It is an class="hi2">aan> symbol with an class="hi2">aan> hidden ban class="hi2">aan>ckground.
Most people do not think they an class="hi2">aan>re inside an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m. They think than class="hi2">aan>t there an class="hi2">aan>re no symbols an class="hi2">aan>nywhere. Yet they might loosely san class="hi2">aan>y from time to than class="hi2">aan>t than class="hi2">aan>t something seems symbolic. When you han class="hi2">aan>ve synchronicities an class="hi2">aan>nd things seem to correlan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd be "connected", than class="hi2">aan>t's you stan class="hi2">aan>rting to rean class="hi2">aan>lize an class="hi2">aan>nd tan class="hi2">aan>p into the hologran class="hi2">aan>m, into the field of energy, which is diffused beyond just physican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces. You're sensing an class="hi2">aan>nd noticing than class="hi2">aan>t, uncan class="hi2">aan>nnily, two seemingly sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te symbols an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly relan class="hi2">aan>ted. ie you stan class="hi2">aan>rt to rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t there is something CONNECTING things together in an class="hi2">aan> semi-mean class="hi2">aan>ningful wan class="hi2">aan>y (synchronicity is "mean class="hi2">aan>ningful coincidence"), an class="hi2">aan>nd coincidence mean class="hi2">aan>ns co-incidence, ie two things correlan class="hi2">aan>ting, becan class="hi2">aan>use they shan class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>phic ban class="hi2">aan>ckground.
Drean class="hi2">aan>ms an class="hi2">aan>t night occur an class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t you could can class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan> higher level of the hologran class="hi2">aan>m. an class="hi2">Aan>s such, in an class="hi2">aan> night drean class="hi2">aan>m, the seemingly concrete, fixed quan class="hi2">aan>lity of man class="hi2">aan>tter is not an class="hi2">aan>s "dense" an class="hi2">aan>s in the physican class="hi2">aan>l universe. Therefore the rean class="hi2">aan>lity of the drean class="hi2">aan>ms an class="hi2">aan>re much more highly an class="hi2">aan>nd obviously symbolic, not just than class="hi2">aan>t the objects an class="hi2">aan>nd events in them symbolize things you experienced in the dan class="hi2">aan>ytime or whan class="hi2">aan>tever, but than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly represent things. Drean class="hi2">aan>m interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion isn't just an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to derive mean class="hi2">aan>ning from something than class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s no mean class="hi2">aan>ning, it is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t drean class="hi2">aan>ms an class="hi2">aan>re entirely composed of SYMBOLS, an class="hi2">aan>nd those symbols an class="hi2">aan>re the structure of "drean class="hi2">aan>m rean class="hi2">aan>lity" becan class="hi2">aan>use drean class="hi2">aan>m rean class="hi2">aan>lity is hologran class="hi2">aan>phic, objects an class="hi2">aan>nd events an class="hi2">aan>re representan class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>nd not things in their own right, an class="hi2">aan>nd everything is joined together beyond just the an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nce of its form.
Sometimes you will notice than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve drean class="hi2">aan>ms which an class="hi2">aan>re fan class="hi2">aan>r more symbolic than class="hi2">aan>n others. Sometimes you'll han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m where it seems effortless for objects to tran class="hi2">aan>nsform bizan class="hi2">aan>rrely into other objects. I remember han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m where I wan class="hi2">aan>lked out the front door an class="hi2">aan>nd there wan class="hi2">aan>s like an class="hi2">aan> dog ban class="hi2">aan>rking an class="hi2">aan>nd something chan class="hi2">aan>nged in my mind an class="hi2">aan>nd the dog turned into an class="hi2">aan> sman class="hi2">aan>ll child an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>rted to tan class="hi2">aan>lk to me an class="hi2">aan>nd then something else han class="hi2">aan>ppened an class="hi2">aan>nd the child turned into an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>dult. This is possible becan class="hi2">aan>use in these drean class="hi2">aan>ms, the "form" or the fixed condensed man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l quan class="hi2">aan>lity of the rean class="hi2">aan>lity experience, the hologran class="hi2">aan>phic rean class="hi2">aan>lity, is not an class="hi2">aan>s dense an class="hi2">aan>nd not an class="hi2">aan>s concrete. an class="hi2">Aan>bstran class="hi2">aan>ct weird stuff han class="hi2">aan>ppens.
It's much ean class="hi2">aan>sier an class="hi2">aan>t than class="hi2">aan>t level, where man class="hi2">aan>tter han class="hi2">aan>s not concentran class="hi2">aan>ted so tightly, for forms to SHIFT an class="hi2">aan>nd chan class="hi2">aan>nge quite nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>nd norman class="hi2">aan>lly. Forms than class="hi2">aan>t shift an class="hi2">aan>nd chan class="hi2">aan>nge, by the wan class="hi2">aan>y, is the foundan class="hi2">aan>tion of an class="hi2">aan>ll "life forms" than class="hi2">aan>t GROW an class="hi2">aan>nd chan class="hi2">aan>nge over time, demonstran class="hi2">aan>ting than class="hi2">aan>t their rean class="hi2">aan>lity is not an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly fully fixed. an class="hi2">Aan>nd symbols can class="hi2">aan>n more ean class="hi2">aan>sily tran class="hi2">aan>nsition into other symbols an class="hi2">aan>t the deeper level of the an class="hi2">aan>bstran class="hi2">aan>ct hologran class="hi2">aan>m. The very form of objects can class="hi2">aan>n convert into other objects, an class="hi2">aan>s symbols shift an class="hi2">aan>round.
I an class="hi2">aan>lso han class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m once which explicitly explan class="hi2">aan>ined to me the hologran class="hi2">aan>phic nan class="hi2">aan>ture of drean class="hi2">aan>ms. In this drean class="hi2">aan>m I stood on an class="hi2">aan> sman class="hi2">aan>ll bridge. There wan class="hi2">aan>s nothing else in the scene. Then an class="hi2">aan>round me in an class="hi2">aan>ll directions were an class="hi2">aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rently iman class="hi2">aan>ges, but ean class="hi2">aan>ch of these iman class="hi2">aan>ges wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> symbol. It wan class="hi2">aan>sn't than class="hi2">aan>t I took the an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nce of the iman class="hi2">aan>ge an class="hi2">aan>t fan class="hi2">aan>ce van class="hi2">aan>lue, but instean class="hi2">aan>d, I recognized than class="hi2">aan>t the iman class="hi2">aan>ges were symbolic an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore they "led" to something than class="hi2">aan>t they REPRESENTED. I could literan class="hi2">aan>lly FEEL an class="hi2">aan>nd sense than class="hi2">aan>t these symbolic iman class="hi2">aan>ges were not only connected to "other rean class="hi2">aan>lities", but than class="hi2">aan>t the wan class="hi2">aan>y the iman class="hi2">aan>ge wan class="hi2">aan>s showing up wan class="hi2">aan>sn't "the whole" of whan class="hi2">aan>t existed. It wan class="hi2">aan>s just one finite expression of whan class="hi2">aan>t it represented.
So it wan class="hi2">aan>s possible to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly sort of "go into" the iman class="hi2">aan>ge, into the symbol, which can class="hi2">aan>used it to expan class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s I moved closer to the environment than class="hi2">aan>t the symbol represented. I wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ble to tran class="hi2">aan>vel through hologran class="hi2">aan>ms this wan class="hi2">aan>y. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it wan class="hi2">aan>s then possible to tan class="hi2">aan>ke some other pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the environment, an class="hi2">aan>nd go into it in similan class="hi2">aan>r fan class="hi2">aan>shion, upon which it would an class="hi2">aan>lso expan class="hi2">aan>nd out or elan class="hi2">aan>boran class="hi2">aan>te into an class="hi2">aan>n entire scene ban class="hi2">aan>sed on than class="hi2">aan>t chosen focus. This showed me than class="hi2">aan>t the drean class="hi2">aan>m rean class="hi2">aan>lity is highly hologran class="hi2">aan>phic an class="hi2">aan>nd fluid an class="hi2">aan>nd symbolic an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t everything is connected together behind the an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nce of the symbols.
The physican class="hi2">aan>l world is less obviously symbolic an class="hi2">aan>nd hologran class="hi2">aan>phic becan class="hi2">aan>use it is more DENSE, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns the shan class="hi2">aan>red energy field - the an class="hi2">aan>ll - han class="hi2">aan>s been very strongly broken out, to crean class="hi2">aan>te the ILLUSION than class="hi2">aan>t ean class="hi2">aan>ch pan class="hi2">aan>rt ban class="hi2">aan>rely han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ny tran class="hi2">aan>ce of an class="hi2">aan> connection to an class="hi2">aan>ny other pan class="hi2">aan>rt. The extreme of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion is so strong between pan class="hi2">aan>rts than class="hi2">aan>t you would be forgiven for being convinced not only than class="hi2">aan>t ean class="hi2">aan>ch object is not an class="hi2">aan> symbol an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, but than class="hi2">aan>t there is nothing "beyond" the form of ean class="hi2">aan>ch object, nothing is shan class="hi2">aan>red, nothing is connected, an class="hi2">aan>nd there is no rean class="hi2">aan>lity beyond an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces. This is the lowest "level" of the hologran class="hi2">aan>m, where the unfied field, the shan class="hi2">aan>red symbolic nan class="hi2">aan>ture of this drean class="hi2">aan>m, han class="hi2">aan>s become so cemented an class="hi2">aan>nd "physican class="hi2">aan>lized" than class="hi2">aan>t it ban class="hi2">aan>rely seems possible to you than class="hi2">aan>t it is an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll. So extreme is the degree of concentran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd contran class="hi2">aan>ction o the energy here, than class="hi2">aan>t it's an class="hi2">aan>lmost undetectan class="hi2">aan>ble to sense or tell than class="hi2">aan>t everything is joined.
Than class="hi2">aan>t is, perhan class="hi2">aan>ps, unless you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>n "empan class="hi2">aan>th", which is someone whose mind is an class="hi2">aan>ble to sense where the symbols lean class="hi2">aan>d, an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n expan class="hi2">aan>nd upon whan class="hi2">aan>t lies beyond them an class="hi2">aan>s though tuning into the hologran class="hi2">aan>m's symbolism an class="hi2">aan>nd tran class="hi2">aan>velling in Spirit to its source. This is an class="hi2">aan>lso why empan class="hi2">aan>ths an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ble to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly tune into "rean class="hi2">aan>l people" than class="hi2">aan>t show up on television recordings or in movies, becan class="hi2">aan>use even though the recording wan class="hi2">aan>s done in the pan class="hi2">aan>st, there is STILL an class="hi2">aan> symbolic hologran class="hi2">aan>phic connection between than class="hi2">aan>t IMan class="hi2">Aan>GE an class="hi2">aan>nd the an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly thing it represents. The mind can class="hi2">aan>n go into than class="hi2">aan>t iman class="hi2">aan>ge an class="hi2">aan>nd sense an class="hi2">aan>nd explore things an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t the iman class="hi2">aan>ge shows, nan class="hi2">aan>vigan class="hi2">aan>ting through the symbolic hologran class="hi2">aan>m.
This highly obscuring, difficult to discern, God-blocking, rean class="hi2">aan>lity covering, immense illusory drean class="hi2">aan>m, which seems to han class="hi2">aan>ve solidified into an class="hi2">aan> consistent solid world, is precisely whan class="hi2">aan>t you wan class="hi2">aan>nted! This is why you used an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>phic drean class="hi2">aan>m to crean class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan> world of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>n illusion, where the illusion IS than class="hi2">aan>t the world is NOT symbolic, it is NOT an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m, an class="hi2">aan>nd it an class="hi2">Aan>PPEan class="hi2">Aan>RS to be solid an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>l with everything sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te.
We've pushed the hologran class="hi2">aan>m to the limits of physican class="hi2">aan>l density, can class="hi2">aan>using pan class="hi2">aan>rticles to reman class="hi2">aan>in very fixed-seeming in their an class="hi2">aan>rran class="hi2">aan>ngements, which han class="hi2">aan>s crean class="hi2">aan>ted the ILLUSION of an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce of form where consistency is very very sustan class="hi2">aan>ined over long period of time. Objects don't an class="hi2">aan>ppan class="hi2">aan>rently chan class="hi2">aan>nge into other objects, an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> limited mind do not SEEM to han class="hi2">aan>ve han class="hi2">aan>rdly an class="hi2">aan> tran class="hi2">aan>ce of power to chan class="hi2">aan>nge objects into other objects, becan class="hi2">aan>use they're being held in an class="hi2">aan> physican class="hi2">aan>lized stan class="hi2">aan>te very strongly, unlike the conditions in an class="hi2">aan> nighttime drean class="hi2">aan>m which is much more man class="hi2">aan>lean class="hi2">aan>ble. Unless you're Jesus ;-) Events mostly do not seem to be symbolic. Bodies seem to function ban class="hi2">aan>sed on non-hologran class="hi2">aan>phic lan class="hi2">aan>ws. an class="hi2">Aan>nd nothing seems to be connected to an class="hi2">aan> grean class="hi2">aan>ter whole.
Then you an class="hi2">aan>re left only with the an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nce of the physican class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>tter, you man class="hi2">aan>ke up lan class="hi2">aan>ws an class="hi2">aan>bout it ban class="hi2">aan>sed on its behan class="hi2">aan>vior, an class="hi2">aan>nd then you justify than class="hi2">aan>t your science is correct ban class="hi2">aan>sed on its illusion of consistency, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve moved into the "linean class="hi2">aan>r" perspective. But the truth is lan class="hi2">aan>teran class="hi2">aan>l, vertican class="hi2">aan>l, becan class="hi2">aan>use if you move out of the physican class="hi2">aan>lized EFFECT an class="hi2">aan>nd ban class="hi2">aan>ck towan class="hi2">aan>rds the an class="hi2">aan>bstran class="hi2">aan>ct Can class="hi2">Aan>USE, you become an class="hi2">aan>ble to modify the physican class="hi2">aan>lizan class="hi2">aan>tion of man class="hi2">aan>tter to tan class="hi2">aan>ke on an class="hi2">aan> different form. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this would be considered miran class="hi2">aan>culous.
This therefore shuts out the idean class="hi2">aan> of GOD, which is an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>lity where everything is shan class="hi2">aan>red. This is becan class="hi2">aan>use the world wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> defense an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst God an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y to OBSCURE the truth than class="hi2">aan>t God is omnipresent, than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>LL of Him is fully present in an class="hi2">aan>ll pan class="hi2">aan>rts. In physican class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>tter, this could not be more obscured an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n illusion than class="hi2">aan>t the an class="hi2">aan>ll is NOT in an class="hi2">Aan>NY pan class="hi2">aan>rt, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore than class="hi2">aan>t the an class="hi2">aan>ll does not exist. Than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s the PURPOSE of the physican class="hi2">aan>l world. To hide God from an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness.
So just becan class="hi2">aan>use you think this world is an class="hi2">aan>n objective, verban class="hi2">aan>tim kind of rean class="hi2">aan>lity, it's not. It's an class="hi2">aan> hologran class="hi2">aan>phic drean class="hi2">aan>m. an class="hi2">Aan>nd sometimes this hologran class="hi2">aan>phic drean class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly does shift an class="hi2">aan>nd chan class="hi2">aan>nge in symbolic wan class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t defy an class="hi2">aan>ll logic an class="hi2">aan>nd scientific explan class="hi2">aan>nan class="hi2">aan>tion. Quite literan class="hi2">aan>lly, sometimes, people report can class="hi2">aan>ses where an class="hi2">aan>n entire building which did not exist the dan class="hi2">aan>y before, suddenly man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>lizes in an class="hi2">aan> known locan class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>t simply wan class="hi2">aan>s not there. Somehow, it simply shows up in the drean class="hi2">aan>m hologran class="hi2">aan>m becan class="hi2">aan>use of some kind of shift in the energy focus.
an class="hi2">Aan>lso quan class="hi2">aan>ntum physics is stan class="hi2">aan>rting to revean class="hi2">aan>l how objects an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> distan class="hi2">aan>nce can class="hi2">aan>n shan class="hi2">aan>re the san class="hi2">aan>me rean class="hi2">aan>lity - than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rticle of light can class="hi2">aan>n be in two plan class="hi2">aan>ces an class="hi2">aan>t once, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t chan class="hi2">aan>nges to the pan class="hi2">aan>rticle in one locan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">Aan>UTOMan class="hi2">Aan>TICan class="hi2">Aan>LLY chan class="hi2">aan>nges the pan class="hi2">aan>rticle in the other locan class="hi2">aan>tion with NO TIME DELan class="hi2">Aan>Y. This is "physican class="hi2">aan>lly" impossible, in terms of an class="hi2">aan> fixed dense world of form an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>tter, but in terms of hologran class="hi2">aan>phic drean class="hi2">aan>ms, it is TOTan class="hi2">Aan>LLY NORMan class="hi2">Aan>L!

In the brief time an class="hi2">aan>llotted it to live, it seeks for other bodies an class="hi2">aan>s its friends an class="hi2">aan>nd enemies. Its san class="hi2">aan>fety is its man class="hi2">aan>in concern. Its comfort is its guiding rule. It tries to look for plean class="hi2">aan>sure, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>void the things than class="hi2">aan>t would be hurtful. an class="hi2">Aan>bove an class="hi2">aan>ll, it tries to tean class="hi2">aan>ch itself its pan class="hi2">aan>ins an class="hi2">aan>nd joys an class="hi2">aan>re different, an class="hi2">aan>nd Can class="hi2">Aan>N be told an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt."
You can class="hi2">aan>n see from stan class="hi2">aan>tements like this, than class="hi2">aan>t the body is clean class="hi2">aan>rly identified an class="hi2">aan>s being Pan class="hi2">Aan>RT OF an class="hi2">Aan> DREan class="hi2">Aan>M.

Firstly there is no drean class="hi2">aan>m without the body.

Other bodies dying like itself tells you the physican class="hi2">aan>l conditions of things is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the drean class="hi2">aan>m an class="hi2">aan>s well.
It seeks for other bodies an class="hi2">aan>s friends an class="hi2">aan>nd enemies, an class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the drean class="hi2">aan>m, so an class="hi2">aan>ll relan class="hi2">aan>tionships in the world an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>lso pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">aan> drean class="hi2">aan>m.It seeks for comfort an class="hi2">aan>nd plean class="hi2">aan>sure, so now an class="hi2">aan>ll comforts, an class="hi2">aan>ll plean class="hi2">aan>sures, sex, hobbies, etc, an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll pan class="hi2">aan>rt of drean class="hi2">aan>ming. an class="hi2">Aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ny of these an class="hi2">aan>re quite physican class="hi2">aan>l.

"The world IS perception" an class="hi2">aan>lso tells you than class="hi2">aan>t the world ITSELF is perception, not just "seen by" perception.

The purpose of taking a course in miracles

The PURPOSE of an class="hi2">aan> "course", is than class="hi2">aan>t you Tan class="hi2">Aan>KE the course, so than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n lean class="hi2">aan>rn how to do something, an class="hi2">aan>nd then an class="hi2">Aan>FTER you han class="hi2">aan>ve tan class="hi2">aan>ken the course, you an class="hi2">aan>re now an class="hi2">Aan>BLE to do than class="hi2">aan>t thing WITHOUT needing the course itself an class="hi2">aan>ny more. an class="hi2">Aan> course in "mind tran class="hi2">aan>ining" tran class="hi2">aan>ins your mind, so than class="hi2">aan>t ONCE TRan class="hi2">Aan>INED, your mind is an class="hi2">aan>ble to DO something it could not do before.
But with an class="hi2">Aan>CIM, an class="hi2">aan> lot of our focus is tan class="hi2">aan>ken up with struggling TO lean class="hi2">aan>rn the course, an class="hi2">aan>rguing an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t it even san class="hi2">aan>ys or mean class="hi2">aan>ns, an class="hi2">aan>nd believing than class="hi2">aan>t to lean class="hi2">aan>rn it is to understan class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t it san class="hi2">aan>ys. We're fixan class="hi2">aan>ted on an class="hi2">aan>nd lost in the pan class="hi2">aan>ges instean class="hi2">aan>d of USING it to undo the NEED for it.
The whole POINT of it though is to TURN YOU INTO an class="hi2">Aan> MIRan class="hi2">Aan>CLE WORKER. an class="hi2">Aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ving GRan class="hi2">Aan>DUan class="hi2">Aan>TED from the course, you should then be an class="hi2">aan>ble to perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles an class="hi2">aan>nd be an class="hi2">aan> tean class="hi2">aan>cher of God like Jesus.
We spent an class="hi2">aan> lot of time being hung up with the words, whan class="hi2">aan>t it san class="hi2">aan>ys whan class="hi2">aan>t it mean class="hi2">aan>ns, whan class="hi2">aan>t the metan class="hi2">aan>physics an class="hi2">aan>re, the implican class="hi2">aan>tions, tan class="hi2">aan>king it like an class="hi2">aan> kind of philosophican class="hi2">aan>l study, sometimes using it, an class="hi2">aan>pplying it, an class="hi2">aan>s if an class="hi2">aan>pplying it or doing the lessons is the PURPOSE of the course. But the purpose of the lessons etc is chan class="hi2">aan>nge your mind to get it into an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te WHERE you an class="hi2">aan>re THEN an class="hi2">aan>ble to USE whan class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve lean class="hi2">aan>rned.
The lessons tean class="hi2">aan>ch you something an class="hi2">aan>nd then Lan class="hi2">Aan>TER you USE whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s been tan class="hi2">aan>ught. an class="hi2">Aan>nd yet people get so hung up on the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t the lessons themselves, or an class="hi2">aan>pplying the principles, IS the whole course. Well, within the context of the course itself yes, but the whole purpose of even doing this "mind tran class="hi2">aan>ining" is so than class="hi2">aan>t you END UP with an class="hi2">aan> tran class="hi2">aan>ined mind than class="hi2">aan>t Can class="hi2">Aan>N an class="hi2">Aan>CCOMPLISH something.
We shouldn't get so hung up on the course ITSELF. It's there for an class="hi2">aan> rean class="hi2">aan>son to serve an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> tool an class="hi2">aan>nd mechan class="hi2">aan>nism to guide an class="hi2">aan>nd direct us an class="hi2">aan>nd give us tools to work on our minds an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>l our hean class="hi2">aan>rts. But than class="hi2">aan>t's only within the context of "lean class="hi2">aan>rning it", ie tan class="hi2">aan>king the curriculum. Once you get pan class="hi2">aan>st the course, so to spean class="hi2">aan>k, or you gran class="hi2">aan>duan class="hi2">aan>te from it, you then an class="hi2">aan>re in an class="hi2">aan> position to rean class="hi2">aan>lly USE it consistently an class="hi2">Aan>S an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker. Than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s the whole point of tan class="hi2">aan>king it, to FINISH IT, an class="hi2">aan>nd move on.
Like if you were spending 4 yean class="hi2">aan>rs in college or whan class="hi2">aan>tever lean class="hi2">aan>rning how to be an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>r mechan class="hi2">aan>nic, you don't spend the rest of your life in college lean class="hi2">aan>rning how to be an class="hi2">aan> mechan class="hi2">aan>nic. You go BE one. You tan class="hi2">aan>ke whan class="hi2">aan>t you lean class="hi2">aan>rned, you rely on your tran class="hi2">aan>ining, an class="hi2">aan>nd you USE it to an class="hi2">aan>ccomplish things you could not do an class="hi2">aan>t the beginning.
an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles is no different. It's an class="hi2">aan> course in lean class="hi2">aan>rning how to perform miran class="hi2">aan>cles to help those who an class="hi2">aan>re less an class="hi2">aan>ble. If you an class="hi2">aan>re just an class="hi2">aan>iming to spend your whole life in an class="hi2">aan> love-an class="hi2">aan>ffan class="hi2">aan>ir with its words or dwelling on whan class="hi2">aan>t it san class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>nd how it's written then you an class="hi2">aan>re STUCK in the clan class="hi2">aan>ssroom not wan class="hi2">aan>nting to go out into the big wide world an class="hi2">aan>nd "get an class="hi2">aan> job" an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> miran class="hi2">aan>cle worker. The course is mean class="hi2">aan>nt to be GRan class="hi2">Aan>DUan class="hi2">Aan>TED FROM an class="hi2">aan>t some point. You're not mean class="hi2">aan>nt to become an class="hi2">aan> "lifer" who just dwells on it an class="hi2">aan>ll the time. Put the wheels on the can class="hi2">aan>r an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>ke it go!
"Forget this world, forget this course, an class="hi2">aan>nd come with wholly empty han class="hi2">aan>nds unto your God."

The fictional bullshit of not having a self

To ego, "han class="hi2">aan>ving an class="hi2">aan> self" seems to be whan class="hi2">aan>t it's an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>bout. This suggestion than class="hi2">aan>t ego is an class="hi2">aan> "self you man class="hi2">aan>de" or some kind of an class="hi2">aan> thing.
But this is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly completely ban class="hi2">aan>ckwan class="hi2">aan>rds.
The ego is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly the idean class="hi2">aan> of the END OF YOURSELF. It is an class="hi2">aan> DENIan class="hi2">Aan>L OF SELF. It is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to DISOWN YOURSELF.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t then "looks like" the forman class="hi2">aan>tion of an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ke self, an class="hi2">aan> lying self, an class="hi2">aan> self built from iman class="hi2">aan>ginan class="hi2">aan>ry iman class="hi2">aan>ges, is in fan class="hi2">aan>ct the opposite of whan class="hi2">aan>t than class="hi2">aan>t illusion suggests.
It's not than class="hi2">aan>t the "ego exists" an class="hi2">aan>nd you han class="hi2">aan>ve to undo it, thus throwing out an class="hi2">aan>ll "individuan class="hi2">aan>lity" an class="hi2">aan>long with it.
The ego IS NOT INDIVIDUan class="hi2">Aan>LITY. The ego is the END OF INDIVIDUan class="hi2">Aan>LITY, man class="hi2">aan>squeran class="hi2">aan>ding an class="hi2">aan>s the illusion of "self" being crean class="hi2">aan>ted. This is becan class="hi2">aan>use the Son of God is drean class="hi2">aan>ming than class="hi2">aan>t He crean class="hi2">aan>ted Himself, which requires the SUPPRESSION of HIS SELF using denian class="hi2">aan>l.
So the ego is not an class="hi2">aan> self. The ego is the an class="hi2">Aan>NTITHESIS of self. The ego is ISOLan class="hi2">Aan>TION an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from Self. The ego is the collan class="hi2">aan>psing of identity, the undoing of whan class="hi2">aan>t God crean class="hi2">aan>ted, an class="hi2">aan>nd the an class="hi2">aan>ttempted DESTRUCTION of Self.
So for an class="hi2">aan>nyone to san class="hi2">aan>y, well, if you wan class="hi2">aan>ke up from the ego you will no longer han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> self... they han class="hi2">aan>ve not seen through the ego's lie. Wan class="hi2">aan>king up mean class="hi2">aan>ns you REGan class="hi2">Aan>IN YOURSELF, you RETURN TO YOUR REan class="hi2">Aan>L SELF, you RECLan class="hi2">Aan>IM your individuan class="hi2">aan>lity, you RESTORE an class="hi2">Aan>Wan class="hi2">Aan>RENESS than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys existed. The only thing than class="hi2">aan>t "ends" is the fiction than class="hi2">aan>t you do NOT exist an class="hi2">aan>s God crean class="hi2">aan>ted you.
So don't buy this EGO IDEan class="hi2">Aan> than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>king up or returning to oneness will man class="hi2">aan>ke "you" cean class="hi2">aan>se to exist. Than class="hi2">aan>t is the EGO Tan class="hi2">Aan>LKING. *IT* will cean class="hi2">aan>se to exist, in the sense than class="hi2">aan>t, it an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys wan class="hi2">aan>s the idean class="hi2">aan> of not existing, an class="hi2">aan>nd the idean class="hi2">aan> of NOT EXISTING will end, to be replan class="hi2">aan>ced with the an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness than class="hi2">aan>t YOU DO EXIST.
So this fictionan class="hi2">aan>l fuck-off idean class="hi2">aan> of "you han class="hi2">aan>ve no self", man class="hi2">aan>squeran class="hi2">aan>ding an class="hi2">aan>s spirituan class="hi2">aan>lity, man class="hi2">aan>squeran class="hi2">aan>ding an class="hi2">aan>s nonduan class="hi2">aan>lity or an class="hi2">aan>cceptan class="hi2">aan>nce of oneness. It is UTTER BULLSHIT. It is an class="hi2">aan>n ego-driven lie.
You an class="hi2">aan>re NOT going to end when you wan class="hi2">aan>ke up. YOU an class="hi2">aan>re going to Wan class="hi2">Aan>KE UP to Han class="hi2">Aan>VING an class="hi2">Aan> SELF. an class="hi2">Aan> self which is driven by love, designed by love, an class="hi2">aan>nd filled with love. an class="hi2">Aan> self which wan class="hi2">aan>nts to SHan class="hi2">Aan>RE an class="hi2">Aan>ND EXTEND ITSELF, in order to exist. an class="hi2">Aan> self which is REan class="hi2">Aan>L an class="hi2">aan>nd is Pan class="hi2">Aan>RT of GOD.
You, who God crean class="hi2">aan>ted, an class="hi2">aan>s perman class="hi2">aan>nent, to exist forever, an class="hi2">aan>s one of His man class="hi2">aan>ny sons, an class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rt of his sonship, will an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS EXIST, han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys existed, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>LREan class="hi2">Aan>DY Han class="hi2">Aan>VE ETERNan class="hi2">Aan>L LIFE.
an class="hi2">Aan>ll this other "you'll stop existing" bullshit is EGO FEan class="hi2">Aan>R an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> device to turn you an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from God an class="hi2">aan>nd deny His crean class="hi2">aan>tion.

The separation is a split in your mind

1. "The Sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion is merely an class="hi2">aan>nother term for an class="hi2">aan> split mind."
So the so-can class="hi2">aan>lled "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God" or "being sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te" or "believing in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion" is in YOUR mind, in the form of YOUR mind being SPLIT. It splits by an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking, which is sin, which crean class="hi2">aan>tes an class="hi2">aan> divide or gan class="hi2">aan>p, which is an class="hi2">aan>lso span class="hi2">aan>cetime, an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tes pan class="hi2">aan>rt of mind off from the rest.
2. "Projection will an class="hi2">Aan>LWan class="hi2">Aan>YS hurt you. It reinforces your belief in your own split mind, an class="hi2">aan>nd its ONLY purpose is to KEEP THE SEPan class="hi2">Aan>Ran class="hi2">Aan>TION GOING."
You use projection, which is an class="hi2">aan>lso exclusion an class="hi2">aan>nd dissocian class="hi2">aan>tion, in order to increan class="hi2">aan>se the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion IN YOUR MIND, by continuing to SPLIT YOUR MIND between seemingly internan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd externan class="hi2">aan>l pan class="hi2">aan>rts, while identifying only with the internan class="hi2">aan>l pan class="hi2">aan>rts, an class="hi2">aan>nd with the body which is an class="hi2">aan> symbolic sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion device.
3. "In your man class="hi2">aan>dness, you OVERLOOK REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY COMPLETELY, an class="hi2">aan>nd you see ONLY YOUR SPLIT MIND everywhere you look."
You see an class="hi2">aan> projection of YOUR SPLIT MIND everywhere you look, an class="hi2">aan>nd then you think than class="hi2">aan>t the "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted off" exclusively guilty pan class="hi2">aan>rts you see an class="hi2">aan>re not pan class="hi2">aan>rt of you, but they an class="hi2">aan>re, becan class="hi2">aan>use idean class="hi2">aan>s do not lean class="hi2">aan>ve their source/mind.

YOUR mind needs hean class="hi2">aan>ling in order to stop being split an class="hi2">aan>nd return to wholeness. It's not just an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of not "believing in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion", your mind must STOP SEPan class="hi2">Aan>Ran class="hi2">Aan>TING itself into two pan class="hi2">aan>rts.

It's like an class="hi2">aan> psychologican class="hi2">aan>l wound, an class="hi2">aan> deep rift driven down the center of you.
5. "Your mind IS one with God's. Denying this an class="hi2">aan>nd thinking otherwise han class="hi2">aan>s held your ego together, but han class="hi2">aan>s literan class="hi2">aan>lly split your mind. an class="hi2">Aan>s an class="hi2">aan> loving brother, I an class="hi2">aan>m deeply concerned with your minds"
Denying God is denying wholeness, which therefore induces an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of believing you an class="hi2">aan>re less than class="hi2">aan>n whole, therefore pan class="hi2">aan>rtian class="hi2">aan>l, therefore split an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt into pan class="hi2">aan>rts, therefore sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted off an class="hi2">aan>nd divided.

Are you humble enough to be a student?

To truly be an class="hi2">aan> student, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to be willing to recognize an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>dmit than class="hi2">aan>t you DO NOT KNOW.
If you do not know, then you an class="hi2">aan>re in an class="hi2">aan> position of NEEDING TO LEan class="hi2">Aan>RN.
Becan class="hi2">aan>use you do not know, YOU Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT tean class="hi2">aan>ch yourself whan class="hi2">aan>t you do not know, so MUST resign an class="hi2">aan>s your own tean class="hi2">aan>cher.
Therefore you need an class="hi2">aan> tean class="hi2">aan>cher who DOES KNOW, other than class="hi2">aan>n yourself, an class="hi2">aan>nd you must turn to them, listen to an class="hi2">aan>nd trust them.
If you can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ccept than class="hi2">aan>t you do not know, then you will be willing to turn to the Holy Spirit an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>sk for his Help. He is there to help an class="hi2">aan>nd to guide, to comfort an class="hi2">aan>nd to hean class="hi2">aan>l. He is there to provide theran class="hi2">aan>py an class="hi2">aan>nd to tean class="hi2">aan>ch you whan class="hi2">aan>t you do NOT know.
But here is the problem. Everyone who does not know, does not recognize than class="hi2">aan>t they do not know, an class="hi2">aan>nd believes than class="hi2">aan>t they do know.
Similan class="hi2">aan>rly everyone who does not know, believes than class="hi2">aan>t they DO know, an class="hi2">aan>nd thinks than class="hi2">aan>t they an class="hi2">aan>re Can class="hi2">Aan>Pan class="hi2">Aan>BLE of telling themselves whan class="hi2">aan>t they need to know.
So now you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> person who is blind to knowledge, who does NOT know whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nything rean class="hi2">aan>lly is, who is turning to themselves an class="hi2">aan>nd whispering IN THEIR OWN Ean class="hi2">Aan>R, TELLING THEMSELVES whan class="hi2">aan>t things an class="hi2">aan>re.
How can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan> person tell themselves whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nything is, if they do not know whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nything is? But this is whan class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll doing an class="hi2">aan>ll of the time.
It's like san class="hi2">aan>ying, I han class="hi2">aan>ve no clue whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nything rean class="hi2">aan>lly is, so I'm going to tell myself whan class="hi2">aan>t it is an class="hi2">aan>nywan class="hi2">aan>y. This is obviously insan class="hi2">aan>ne an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. But we keep doing it over an class="hi2">aan>nd over, telling ourselves whan class="hi2">aan>t everything is.
We judge on our own, we decide on our own, we depend on our own strength an class="hi2">aan>nd experience, we tell ourselves whan class="hi2">aan>t we think is true, we man class="hi2">aan>ke it an class="hi2">aan>ll up an class="hi2">aan>s we go an class="hi2">aan>long, an class="hi2">aan>nd we convince ourselves than class="hi2">aan>t we're experts.
We then develop an class="hi2">aan> kind of pride in believing than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re in an class="hi2">aan> position of an class="hi2">aan>uthority, than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re educan class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>nd knowledgean class="hi2">aan>ble, with an class="hi2">aan>ll the fan class="hi2">aan>cts an class="hi2">aan>nd trivian class="hi2">aan> an class="hi2">aan>nd informan class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>t we need, an class="hi2">aan>long with grean class="hi2">aan>tly developed "judgement", an class="hi2">aan>llegedly an class="hi2">aan>utonomous an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of discerning an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>nd everything.
But we're totan class="hi2">aan>lly clueless. We're lost in the dan class="hi2">aan>rk, we're completely out of touch with rean class="hi2">aan>l knowledge - which is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>spect of hean class="hi2">aan>ven only, we han class="hi2">aan>ve no rean class="hi2">aan>l clue whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nything is or mean class="hi2">aan>ns, we're man class="hi2">aan>king up an class="hi2">aan>ll these mean class="hi2">aan>nings an class="hi2">aan>s we go an class="hi2">aan>long, an class="hi2">aan>nd we're trying to constan class="hi2">aan>ntly tan class="hi2">aan>lk ourselves into things.
It's obvious therefore than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>ll "stan class="hi2">aan>rt out" doing this course in an class="hi2">aan> position of believing than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re the ones who an class="hi2">aan>re going to get ourselves to the goan class="hi2">aan>l. It is even an class="hi2">aan> widesprean class="hi2">aan>d tean class="hi2">aan>ching than class="hi2">aan>t we OURSELVES need to "do an class="hi2">aan> forgiveness". Than class="hi2">aan>t WE ourselves an class="hi2">aan>re going to figure out whan class="hi2">aan>t's wrong with us, how we an class="hi2">aan>re insan class="hi2">aan>ne, an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t we need to do to fix it.
But an class="hi2">Aan>CIM is quite clean class="hi2">aan>r than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re in fan class="hi2">aan>ct supposed to surrender an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>dmit than class="hi2">aan>t we do not know, recognize than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re in an class="hi2">aan> position of NEEDING HELP, an class="hi2">aan>nd then TURN TO the Holy Spirit to join with him FIRST, BEFORE we even an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to overlook sins.
We an class="hi2">aan>re not going to do than class="hi2">aan>t if we an class="hi2">aan>re not being true students. We an class="hi2">aan>re so busy being tean class="hi2">aan>chers. So in fan class="hi2">aan>ct we stan class="hi2">aan>rt off believing we know, with fan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>uthority an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>de-up knowledge, an class="hi2">aan>nd ponce an class="hi2">aan>round an class="hi2">aan>s if an class="hi2">aan>uthoritan class="hi2">aan>tive tean class="hi2">aan>chers. an class="hi2">Aan>nd it isn't usuan class="hi2">aan>lly until much Lan class="hi2">Aan>TER in our progress than class="hi2">aan>t we stan class="hi2">aan>rt to relinquish the role of "fan class="hi2">aan>ke tean class="hi2">aan>cher" an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>dopt an class="hi2">aan> grean class="hi2">aan>ter role of being an class="hi2">aan> true STUDENT.
To be an class="hi2">aan> true student, or han class="hi2">aan>ppy lean class="hi2">aan>rner, we han class="hi2">aan>ve to han class="hi2">aan>ve enough humility an class="hi2">aan>nd humbleness to drop the ROLE of trying to do everything on our own. We han class="hi2">aan>ve to be willing to an class="hi2">aan>dmit than class="hi2">aan>t we can class="hi2">aan>nnot judge an class="hi2">aan>nything correctly, we an class="hi2">aan>re ran class="hi2">aan>ther stupid, we han class="hi2">aan>ve no knowledge or true certan class="hi2">aan>inty an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan>nything, han class="hi2">aan>ve no clue whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nything rean class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve fan class="hi2">aan>iled an class="hi2">aan>t tean class="hi2">aan>ching ourselves.
This then gives wan class="hi2">aan>y for opening up to LISTEN an class="hi2">aan>nd to hean class="hi2">aan>r the Voice for God, to direct us, to decide everything for us, to tell us whan class="hi2">aan>t everything mean class="hi2">aan>ns, to direct us whan class="hi2">aan>t to do, where to go, whan class="hi2">aan>t to san class="hi2">aan>y. To even step an class="hi2">aan>side enough to an class="hi2">aan>llow him to use our body, to spean class="hi2">aan>k through it, to man class="hi2">aan>nipulan class="hi2">aan>te our han class="hi2">aan>nds, to hean class="hi2">aan>l through us. Such than class="hi2">aan>t we become more like an class="hi2">aan> medium for God an class="hi2">aan>nd Christ.
an class="hi2">Aan>ll of this tan class="hi2">aan>kes the removan class="hi2">aan>l of the egotism, the an class="hi2">aan>rrogan class="hi2">aan>nce, the pretentiousness, the righteousness, the self importan class="hi2">aan>nce, the pride, the holier-than class="hi2">aan>n-thou, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll of the sense of self-relian class="hi2">aan>nce an class="hi2">aan>nd not needing God for an class="hi2">aan>nything. We an class="hi2">aan>re here to do God's will, not our own sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te will. We an class="hi2">aan>re here to serve, not to dictan class="hi2">aan>te from our own sources.
We an class="hi2">aan>re not our own source. an class="hi2">Aan>nything an class="hi2">aan>nd everything we han class="hi2">aan>ve is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of God an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>s been LOan class="hi2">Aan>NED to us through shan class="hi2">aan>ring an class="hi2">aan>nd inheritan class="hi2">aan>nce. Our strength is the strength of God in us. Our power is the power of God is us. Our light an class="hi2">aan>nd love an class="hi2">aan>re God's light an class="hi2">aan>nd love. We an class="hi2">aan>re symbiotic an class="hi2">aan>nd dependent on God.

To be an class="hi2">aan> student is to drop the role of being an class="hi2">aan>n exclusive tean class="hi2">aan>cher. Then only an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> student can class="hi2">aan>n you truly become an class="hi2">aan> tean class="hi2">aan>cher of God. an class="hi2">Aan> tean class="hi2">aan>cher of God is an class="hi2">aan> student of the Holy Spirit an class="hi2">aan>nd not their own ego.

The rean class="hi2">aan>son is than class="hi2">aan>t these judgements than class="hi2">aan>t you THINK an class="hi2">aan>re being done by you to other people, an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly being done by you to YOURSELF.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd the unwillingness to forgive, which you THINK is to do with your unwillingness to forgive an class="hi2">aan>nother person, or the need to forgive an class="hi2">aan>nother person, becan class="hi2">aan>use of whan class="hi2">aan>t they seem to be doing, han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>bsolutely nothing to do with than class="hi2">aan>t person.

Judgements an class="hi2">aan>re nothing to do with other people, an class="hi2">aan>nd trying to man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan> goan class="hi2">aan>l of 'must not judge an class="hi2">aan>nyone' is missing the point. You must not judge YOU.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd forgiveness han class="hi2">aan>s nothing to do with other people, so trying to man class="hi2">aan>intan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan> goan class="hi2">aan>l of 'forgive everyone' is an class="hi2">aan>lso missing the point. You must forgive YOURSELF.
The rean class="hi2">aan>son is, than class="hi2">aan>t idean class="hi2">aan>s lean class="hi2">aan>ve not their source, an class="hi2">aan>nd your judgements do not lean class="hi2">aan>ve your mind an class="hi2">aan>nd go into someone else. Your an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cks do not lean class="hi2">aan>ve your mind an class="hi2">aan>nd go into someone else. They an class="hi2">aan>re done TO YOU, BY YOU.

So the rean class="hi2">aan>l benefit of you stopping judging someone else, isn't rean class="hi2">aan>lly to do with being kind to people or nicer to them or whan class="hi2">aan>tever.... whan class="hi2">aan>t you don't rean class="hi2">aan>lize is than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>s you judge, you an class="hi2">aan>re internan class="hi2">aan>lly crean class="hi2">aan>ting an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion in your own mind, an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>nifesting an class="hi2">aan> split mind, an class="hi2">aan>re pitting one pan class="hi2">aan>rt of your mind an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst the other under the guise of 'projection', your own mind is now an class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>r with itself, an class="hi2">aan>nd this experience of conflict is whan class="hi2">aan>t you need to hean class="hi2">aan>l. If you THINK you judge someone else, you an class="hi2">aan>utoman class="hi2">aan>tican class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re judging yourself. They an class="hi2">aan>re not even rean class="hi2">aan>lly involved.
I san class="hi2">aan>w this yesterdan class="hi2">aan>y when I wan class="hi2">aan>s tempted to judge someone an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>rted to do so, an class="hi2">aan>nd Jesus prompted me to stop, an class="hi2">aan>nd I rean class="hi2">aan>lized than class="hi2">aan>t it wan class="hi2">aan>sn't than class="hi2">aan>t he thought it wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n issue of me judging than class="hi2">aan>t person, it wan class="hi2">aan>s than class="hi2">aan>t by me judging 'them' I wan class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly crean class="hi2">aan>ting conditions in my mind of conflict an class="hi2">aan>nd upset an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>s Can class="hi2">Aan>USING MYSELF to become an class="hi2">aan>ngry. I needed to stop judging FOR MY OWN BENEFIT.
Similan class="hi2">aan>rly, forgiveness processes han class="hi2">aan>ve nothing to do with other people. It begins SEEMING like it's to do with other people, becan class="hi2">aan>use our mind is an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy in an class="hi2">aan> split stan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd we think than class="hi2">aan>t the 'other' pan class="hi2">aan>rt of our own mind than class="hi2">aan>t we've split off an class="hi2">aan>nd dian class="hi2">aan>ssocian class="hi2">aan>ted from is "not me" an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore is "in them". You use them an class="hi2">aan>s like an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>nnequin to pin your dirty lan class="hi2">aan>undry on while you an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck it, but the an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking an class="hi2">aan>nd the receiving of the an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck is going on entirely inside your mind, even if your mind seems to han class="hi2">aan>ve inflan class="hi2">aan>ted to 'include' than class="hi2">aan>t other person's body. So forgiveness is not to do with forgiving than class="hi2">aan>t person for whan class="hi2">aan>t they do, it's to do with you coming to an class="hi2">aan>dmit an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t they've got NOTHING to do with your upset an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly the one who han class="hi2">aan>s done something to yourself, an class="hi2">aan>nd YOU need the forgiveness.

Being a host to the Power of God

"an class="hi2">aan>ll power an class="hi2">aan>nd glory an class="hi2">aan>re yours becan class="hi2">aan>use the Kingdom is His"

"By tean class="hi2">aan>ching the power of the Kingdom of God Himself, He tean class="hi2">aan>ches you than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan>LL POWER IS YOURS."

"an class="hi2">Aan>ll power is given you in ean class="hi2">aan>rth an class="hi2">aan>nd Hean class="hi2">aan>ven. There is nothing than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>nnot do."

"But the truth is very simple; an class="hi2">Aan>LL POWER IS OF GOD. Whan class="hi2">aan>t is NOT of Him han class="hi2">aan>s no power to do an class="hi2">Aan>NYTHING."

Our nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l relan class="hi2">aan>tionship with God is quite different to how we think of ourselves in an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted stan class="hi2">aan>te.

Here we might think of ourselves an class="hi2">aan>s independent, relying on no-one, han class="hi2">aan>ving our own power an class="hi2">aan>nd our own an class="hi2">aan>bilities. We wan class="hi2">aan>lk in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te bodies an class="hi2">aan>nd think of ourselves an class="hi2">aan>s self-sufficient an class="hi2">aan>nd relian class="hi2">aan>nt on ourselves. But this isn't an class="hi2">aan> nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>te to be in, an class="hi2">aan>nd it isn't how God set it up.

From God's point of view, he does not crean class="hi2">aan>te sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te things, which stan class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>rt from him an class="hi2">aan>s though disconnected. He doesn't crean class="hi2">aan>te things which han class="hi2">aan>ve specian class="hi2">aan>l stuff of their own, or powers than class="hi2">aan>t they don't shan class="hi2">aan>re with others. Nor does he let go of them or cut the off or stop being an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of them.

When God crean class="hi2">aan>tes you he extends his own self, gives everything he han class="hi2">aan>s, an class="hi2">aan>nd includes you within his own being an class="hi2">aan>s pan class="hi2">aan>rt of himself. It's like living an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>ying in the womb forever. You han class="hi2">aan>ve nothing than class="hi2">aan>t you've gan class="hi2">aan>thered for yourself, an class="hi2">aan>nd nothing than class="hi2">aan>t didn't come from God. an class="hi2">Aan>nd everything you do han class="hi2">aan>ve, reman class="hi2">aan>ins his an class="hi2">aan>s well, but shan class="hi2">aan>red simultan class="hi2">aan>neously with you.

Your nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l condition then is to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly be completely dependent on God, in which you host God within yourself. It's like, without him you an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>n empty vessel, an class="hi2">aan>nd he plan class="hi2">aan>ces his own power, mind, will, thought, life, love, pean class="hi2">aan>ce etc, into you. an class="hi2">Aan>nd now you an class="hi2">aan>ct an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> host to him. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this mean class="hi2">aan>n than class="hi2">aan>t unless you an class="hi2">aan>re hosting him, you don't rean class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>nything. No power, no mind, no love, nothing.

So in order to be in your nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>te, functioning the wan class="hi2">aan>y God intended, you an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ve to rely on God an class="hi2">aan>nd depend on him to BE the quan class="hi2">aan>lities than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>re best in you. There is no other source an class="hi2">aan>nd you literan class="hi2">aan>lly can class="hi2">aan>nnot live without him.

The sense of strength than class="hi2">aan>t you han class="hi2">aan>ve does not come from you, it is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly the presence of God in you. The light which you see in isn't an class="hi2">aan> light than class="hi2">aan>t you put there, it's his light shining in your mind from God. The will you will with, the thoughts you think, the freedom you shan class="hi2">aan>re, your very own life, is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>ll HIS. He shan class="hi2">aan>res it with you an class="hi2">aan>nd you therefore han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> symbiotic relan class="hi2">aan>tionship with him.

This rean class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t not only do you han class="hi2">aan>ve nothing than class="hi2">aan>t is exclusively your own, you literan class="hi2">aan>lly han class="hi2">aan>ve nothing an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll without him. You an class="hi2">aan>re nothing an class="hi2">aan>nd do not exist without him. However, with him you shan class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve everything than class="hi2">aan>t he han class="hi2">aan>s. You han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ll his gifts, an class="hi2">aan>ll his power, an class="hi2">aan>ll his thought an class="hi2">aan>nd mind, an class="hi2">aan>ll his will an class="hi2">aan>nd freedom, an class="hi2">aan>ll his love an class="hi2">aan>nd life. It is in you, but it is not of you. Yet it is yours, becan class="hi2">aan>use it is his, an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re pan class="hi2">aan>rt of him.

This mean class="hi2">aan>ns the only wan class="hi2">aan>y to function nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>lly is to an class="hi2">aan>cknowledge God in everything, to let him BE the strength in you, to let his light shine through you so than class="hi2">aan>t you can class="hi2">aan>n see, to an class="hi2">aan>lign with his will an class="hi2">aan>nd thoughts, to do his will, an class="hi2">aan>nd to function an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> tean class="hi2">aan>m with him. He does protect you an class="hi2">aan>nd strengthen you an class="hi2">aan>nd provide for you.

This plugs you into his power, an class="hi2">aan>nd regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of han class="hi2">aan>ving NO power of your own, you han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">Aan>LL of his power. By an class="hi2">aan>llowing your power to be his power, shan class="hi2">aan>red with him an class="hi2">aan>nd expressing through you, his power becomes your own. He han class="hi2">aan>s given it to you, but without losing it himself, an class="hi2">aan>nd so both of you han class="hi2">aan>ve it. Without whan class="hi2">aan>t God han class="hi2">aan>s given you, you han class="hi2">aan>ve no power to do an class="hi2">aan>nything.

This is why the model of your body an class="hi2">aan>nd your ego an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst your inherent nan class="hi2">aan>ture. They an class="hi2">aan>re wan class="hi2">aan>ys to cut you off from everything an class="hi2">aan>nd to han class="hi2">aan>ve nothing.

You can class="hi2">aan>n't live life like than class="hi2">aan>t, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n exclusively an class="hi2">aan>utonomous prisoner, can class="hi2">aan>ptive to nothingness.

You can class="hi2">aan>n only rean class="hi2">aan>lly live an class="hi2">aan>nd be han class="hi2">aan>ppy an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve strength an class="hi2">aan>nd san class="hi2">aan>nity by shan class="hi2">aan>ring life with God. He han class="hi2">aan>s to be an class="hi2">aan>cknowledged, interfan class="hi2">aan>ced with, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>llowed to be an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of you. He han class="hi2">aan>s to be integran class="hi2">aan>ted into who an class="hi2">aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to man class="hi2">aan>ke room for him.

He lives withiin you an class="hi2">aan>t your inner an class="hi2">aan>ltan class="hi2">aan>r.

Depending on your own strength will only man class="hi2">aan>ke you an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id becan class="hi2">aan>use you know you an class="hi2">aan>re too wean class="hi2">aan>k to dean class="hi2">aan>l with an class="hi2">aan>nything without God.

The word "an class="hi2">aan>pple" is twice removed from rean class="hi2">aan>lity. The thing it represents, the an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>pple itself sitting in your fruit bowl, is once removed from rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Notice than class="hi2">aan>t words an class="hi2">aan>re symbols OF SYMBOLS. Therefore the an class="hi2">aan>pple itself is an class="hi2">aan> symbol, an class="hi2">aan>nd is NOT rean class="hi2">aan>lity. Everything in this world is symbolic, just an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>ll drean class="hi2">aan>ms an class="hi2">aan>re man class="hi2">aan>de of symbols.
"The body is the symbol of whan class="hi2">aan>t you THINK you an class="hi2">aan>re."

"The body is the symbol of the ego"
"an class="hi2">Aan>s nothingness can class="hi2">aan>nnot BE pictured, so there IS no symbol for totan class="hi2">aan>lity."
"Give welcome to the Power beyond forgiveness, an class="hi2">aan>nd beyond the world of symbols an class="hi2">aan>nd of limitan class="hi2">aan>tions."

Symbols an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>n end in themselves. They don't han class="hi2">aan>ve their own identity. They represent something else. They serve an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> reflection or representan class="hi2">aan>tive for something they point to.

Conclusions han class="hi2">aan>ve effects becan class="hi2">aan>use PREMISES an class="hi2">Aan>RE Can class="hi2">Aan>USES!
Both God's thought system an class="hi2">aan>nd the ego's thought system an class="hi2">aan>re ban class="hi2">aan>sed on an class="hi2">aan> LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>L premise. God's premise is Himself. His nan class="hi2">aan>ture estan class="hi2">aan>blishes the lan class="hi2">aan>ws of whan class="hi2">aan>t is TRUE. an class="hi2">Aan>s He expresses/crean class="hi2">aan>tes, His thought SYSTEM functions, an class="hi2">aan>nd follows the lan class="hi2">aan>ws estan class="hi2">aan>blished in his nan class="hi2">aan>ture. The OUTCOME or "logican class="hi2">aan>l conclusion" of His system of thinking, MUST be in an class="hi2">aan>ccord with his nan class="hi2">aan>ture an class="hi2">aan>nd be THE ONLY possible outcome than class="hi2">aan>t could come from such an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>rting point.
Becan class="hi2">aan>use God is eternan class="hi2">aan>l, the outcome of His thinking must be eternan class="hi2">aan>l. Becan class="hi2">aan>use God is an class="hi2">aan>live, His thoughts must be an class="hi2">aan>live. Becan class="hi2">aan>use God is love, His thoughts must be man class="hi2">aan>de of love. Becan class="hi2">aan>use God is han class="hi2">aan>ppy, His thoughts must be han class="hi2">aan>ppy an class="hi2">aan>nd lean class="hi2">aan>d to han class="hi2">aan>ppiness. Becan class="hi2">aan>use God is an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tor, the living beings He crean class="hi2">aan>tes must be crean class="hi2">aan>tors an class="hi2">aan>lso (co-crean class="hi2">aan>tors).
Everything than class="hi2">aan>t comes FROM Him is in an class="hi2">aan>ccord with His Will an class="hi2">aan>nd nan class="hi2">aan>ture, an class="hi2">aan>nd is in his perfect LIKENESS. It Han class="hi2">Aan>S to be in His likeness becan class="hi2">aan>use in an class="hi2">aan> logican class="hi2">aan>l system, everything than class="hi2">aan>t comes from the ORIGIN of the system stan class="hi2">aan>ys WITHIIN the confines of the system an class="hi2">aan>nd thus is governed by the san class="hi2">aan>me lan class="hi2">aan>ws.
These Fan class="hi2">Aan>CTS, han class="hi2">aan>ve nothing to do with interpretan class="hi2">aan>tions, idean class="hi2">aan>ls, man class="hi2">aan>de-up spirituan class="hi2">aan>lity, theory or theology, or an class="hi2">aan>ny other kind of conceptuan class="hi2">aan>l man class="hi2">aan>ke-believe. These an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">Aan>CTUan class="hi2">Aan>L Fan class="hi2">Aan>CTS of rean class="hi2">aan>lity. an class="hi2">Aan>nd "metan class="hi2">aan>physics" is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on irrefutan class="hi2">aan>ble Fan class="hi2">Aan>CTS. It is an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t God is an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tor, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore it MUST be an class="hi2">aan> fan class="hi2">aan>ct than class="hi2">aan>t God's crean class="hi2">aan>tion is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tor. Regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of whether an class="hi2">Aan>CIM ever mentioned than class="hi2">aan>t in its words an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll, than class="hi2">aan>t Han class="hi2">Aan>S to be true.
an class="hi2">Aan>CIM han class="hi2">aan>ppens to san class="hi2">aan>y "an class="hi2">Aan> co-crean class="hi2">aan>tor with the Fan class="hi2">aan>ther must han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> Son." But you can class="hi2">aan>n DEDUCE this, LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>LLY, by following God's system of thought. Simply, God is an class="hi2">aan> crean class="hi2">aan>tive fan class="hi2">aan>ther. He pan class="hi2">aan>sses on Himself to whan class="hi2">aan>tever He crean class="hi2">aan>tes. Therefore, logican class="hi2">aan>lly, if God Himself han class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> nan class="hi2">aan>ture which results in an class="hi2">aan> Son, then the Son MUST han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> nan class="hi2">aan>ture which results in an class="hi2">aan> Son of an class="hi2">aan> Son. YOU, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> Son, MUST therefore han class="hi2">aan>ve crean class="hi2">aan>tions. This isn't true just becan class="hi2">aan>use an class="hi2">Aan>CIM san class="hi2">aan>ys so in its words. It's true LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>LLY. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t is the deeper metan class="hi2">aan>physics. Jesus han class="hi2">aan>s Ban class="hi2">Aan>SED those quoted stan class="hi2">aan>tements ON than class="hi2">aan>t logic.
Let's look an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>nother exan class="hi2">aan>mple, the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion from God. Without even considering an class="hi2">aan>nything an class="hi2">Aan>CIM san class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>bout sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, let's an class="hi2">aan>ssess it with purely impeccan class="hi2">aan>ble logic an class="hi2">aan>nd see whan class="hi2">aan>t we get.
Ok so God wills eternan class="hi2">aan>l life becan class="hi2">aan>use God IS eternan class="hi2">aan>l life. God wills han class="hi2">aan>ppiness. God wills an class="hi2">aan> totan class="hi2">aan>l lan class="hi2">aan>ck of limits becan class="hi2">aan>use He is unlimited. God gives freedom, becan class="hi2">aan>use God IS freedom. The co-crean class="hi2">aan>tive living entities than class="hi2">aan>t God MUST crean class="hi2">aan>te, therefore must han class="hi2">aan>ve His freedom. But this an class="hi2">aan>lso mean class="hi2">aan>ns, they an class="hi2">aan>re free FROM an class="hi2">aan>ny kind of limitan class="hi2">aan>tion or restran class="hi2">aan>int. The only truth is than class="hi2">aan>t they must function WITHIN the system of God. They can class="hi2">aan>nnot lean class="hi2">aan>ve God. BUT, they can class="hi2">aan>n exercise their co-crean class="hi2">aan>tive an class="hi2">aan>bility to freely choose to try to DENY or oppose God's will an class="hi2">aan>nd nan class="hi2">aan>ture, thus opposing their own. Whan class="hi2">aan>t would Han class="hi2">Aan>VE to han class="hi2">aan>ppen if you did than class="hi2">aan>t?
Look an class="hi2">aan>t it purely logican class="hi2">aan>lly. Rean class="hi2">aan>lity is ..... light, life, han class="hi2">aan>ppiness, pean class="hi2">aan>ce, love, unlimited, constan class="hi2">aan>nt, unchan class="hi2">aan>nging, equan class="hi2">aan>l/han class="hi2">aan>rmonious, perman class="hi2">aan>nent, truthful, open, immortan class="hi2">aan>l, etc. BECan class="hi2">Aan>USE, this is whan class="hi2">aan>t God is. So everything IN God's system must be this too. Whan class="hi2">aan>t would an class="hi2">aan>n OPPOSITE to this be? Whan class="hi2">aan>t would you get, if you DENIED this system an class="hi2">aan>nd tried to bring an class="hi2">aan>bout an class="hi2">aan>n OPPOSITE system?
Well, an class="hi2">aan>n opposite system would han class="hi2">aan>ve to be ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the "belief" than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll of the nan class="hi2">aan>ture of God is NOT true or rean class="hi2">aan>l. It han class="hi2">aan>s to be an class="hi2">aan> PREMISE, than class="hi2">aan>t OPPOSES God's premise. So the premise is, ... dan class="hi2">aan>rkness, dean class="hi2">aan>th, unhan class="hi2">aan>ppiness, conflict, han class="hi2">aan>tred/fean class="hi2">aan>r, limitan class="hi2">aan>tion, chan class="hi2">aan>nge, inequan class="hi2">aan>lity/difference, imperman class="hi2">aan>nence, everything is fan class="hi2">aan>lse, closed, mortan class="hi2">aan>lity, etc. Becan class="hi2">aan>use these an class="hi2">aan>re the LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>L opposites to God's nan class="hi2">aan>ture. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if this collection of "unplean class="hi2">aan>san class="hi2">aan>nt" CONDITIONS is the PREMISE of the entire ego SYSTEM, everything WITHIN this "line of thinking" MUST RESULT IN, an class="hi2">aan>ll of these things. DEan class="hi2">Aan>TH, is the logican class="hi2">aan>l outcome of the ego thought system.
So the question is, does this logican class="hi2">aan>l conclusion LINE UP with whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles san class="hi2">aan>ys. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the an class="hi2">aan>nswer is YES. It does. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct Jesus even san class="hi2">aan>ys so.
"From the belief in sin (the premise), the fan class="hi2">aan>ith in chan class="hi2">aan>os MUST follow. It is becan class="hi2">aan>use it follows than class="hi2">aan>t it seems to be an class="hi2">aan> ***logican class="hi2">aan>l conclusion***; an class="hi2">aan> van class="hi2">aan>lid step in ordered thought. The steps to chan class="hi2">aan>os ***DO follow nean class="hi2">aan>tly from their stan class="hi2">aan>rting-point***. Ean class="hi2">aan>ch is an class="hi2">aan> different form in the **progression** (logican class="hi2">aan>l thought process) of truth's reversan class="hi2">aan>l, lean class="hi2">aan>ding still deeper into terror, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from truth."
"The Holy Spirit uses logic an class="hi2">aan>s ean class="hi2">aan>sily, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>s well, an class="hi2">aan>s does the ego, except than class="hi2">aan>t HIS conclusions an class="hi2">aan>re NOT insan class="hi2">aan>ne. They tan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> direction EXan class="hi2">Aan>CTLY opposite, pointing an class="hi2">aan>s clean class="hi2">aan>rly to Hean class="hi2">aan>ven an class="hi2">aan>s the ego points to dan class="hi2">aan>rkness an class="hi2">aan>nd to dean class="hi2">aan>th."
"The logic of the world MUST therefore lean class="hi2">aan>d to nothing, for its GOan class="hi2">Aan>L is nothing."
So whan class="hi2">aan>t you find is, if you can class="hi2">aan>n get an class="hi2">aan> gran class="hi2">aan>sp of the PURE LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>L Ban class="hi2">Aan>SIS of God's system, an class="hi2">aan>nd if you can class="hi2">aan>n then gran class="hi2">aan>sp the idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t the "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion" is simply the idean class="hi2">aan> of an class="hi2">Aan>N OPPOSITE TO REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY, you can class="hi2">aan>n LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>LLY come to conclusions. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the fan class="hi2">aan>ct is, than class="hi2">aan>t these conclusions EXan class="hi2">Aan>CTLY Man class="hi2">Aan>TCH whan class="hi2">aan>t Jesus han class="hi2">aan>s described in an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles. WITHOUT ERROR. They totan class="hi2">aan>lly correlan class="hi2">aan>te to the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, the result of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ting, the OUTCOME of stan class="hi2">aan>rting on an class="hi2">aan> ban class="hi2">aan>sis of sin.
"The wan class="hi2">aan>ges of sin is dean class="hi2">aan>th - ie, if you stan class="hi2">aan>rt with sin (which is the idean class="hi2">aan> "an class="hi2">aan>n opposite to God is possible", you must end with dean class="hi2">aan>th". Dean class="hi2">aan>th is the suppression an class="hi2">aan>nd denian class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd NEGan class="hi2">Aan>TING OF, God's rean class="hi2">aan>lity. It is the "end of life" becan class="hi2">aan>use it OPPOSES GOD'S WILL which supports life.
Therefore, an class="hi2">aan>nd this is an class="hi2">aan> metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l Fan class="hi2">Aan>CT.... an class="hi2">aan> belief in sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion MUST LEan class="hi2">Aan>D TO an class="hi2">aan> seeming "world" or "logican class="hi2">aan>l stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind", wherein everything is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on an class="hi2">aan>n idean class="hi2">aan> of sin an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th. e.g. "Without the idean class="hi2">aan> of dean class="hi2">aan>th there is no world." "The world is an class="hi2">aan> picture of the crucifixion of God's son" - ie its the idean class="hi2">aan> of God's LIVING son, pictured in an class="hi2">aan> condition OPPOSITE to living. Similan class="hi2">aan>rly "the world wan class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck on God" is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on the LOGIC than class="hi2">aan>t by trying to OPPOSE THE TRUTH, you "an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked" the premise of the truthful thought system (God), by trying to estan class="hi2">aan>blish an class="hi2">aan>nother SYSTEM than class="hi2">aan>t wan class="hi2">aan>s totan class="hi2">aan>lly opposite.
For exan class="hi2">aan>mple, Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys "Ean class="hi2">aan>rth, Hean class="hi2">aan>ven's opposite in every wan class="hi2">aan>y". Why is Ean class="hi2">aan>rth OPPOSITE to Hean class="hi2">aan>ven? Becan class="hi2">aan>use it is pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">aan> "world" or STan class="hi2">Aan>TE of OPPOSITION to THE TRUTH. The world is thus an class="hi2">aan> logican class="hi2">aan>l outcome of the ego thought system. It is Man class="hi2">Aan>DE OF DEan class="hi2">Aan>TH. It is man class="hi2">aan>de of denian class="hi2">aan>l. It is man class="hi2">aan>de of sin. This isn't something I need to san class="hi2">aan>y ban class="hi2">aan>sed on an class="hi2">Aan>CIM san class="hi2">aan>ying it. I can class="hi2">aan>n man class="hi2">aan>ke this "clan class="hi2">aan>im", IMPERSONan class="hi2">Aan>LLY, WITHOUT OPINION, becan class="hi2">aan>use the METan class="hi2">Aan>PHYSICS an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>tely indican class="hi2">aan>tes than class="hi2">aan>t this MUST be the can class="hi2">aan>se.
Now, here is the interesting thing an class="hi2">aan>bout metan class="hi2">aan>physics. The underlying core logic describes VERY an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>tely, PERFECTLY, not only the nan class="hi2">aan>ture of God's "system" or world, an class="hi2">aan>nd the nan class="hi2">aan>ture of an class="hi2">aan>ny world than class="hi2">aan>t tries to oppose it. Through LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>L REan class="hi2">Aan>SONING, which must be "impeccan class="hi2">aan>ble", you can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly man class="hi2">aan>ke "stan class="hi2">aan>tements"- symbolic word expressions once removed from the metan class="hi2">aan>physics, than class="hi2">aan>t were never written IN the Course itself, but which an class="hi2">aan>re TOTan class="hi2">Aan>LLY in line with it. This is not an class="hi2">aan>n opinion or an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of man class="hi2">aan>king something up. The LOGIC tells you, BY ITSELF, WHan class="hi2">Aan>T MUST BE TRUE.
For exan class="hi2">aan>mple we could san class="hi2">aan>y, an class="hi2">aan>nything than class="hi2">aan>t is opposite to God who is eternan class="hi2">aan>l life must be incan class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble of living forever. It doesn't necessan class="hi2">aan>rily explicitly San class="hi2">Aan>Y than class="hi2">aan>t in the course, but it MUST be true. It does however san class="hi2">aan>y ban class="hi2">aan>sican class="hi2">aan>lly the san class="hi2">aan>me thing in other words, e.g. "there is no life outside of hean class="hi2">aan>ven."
We could an class="hi2">aan>lso san class="hi2">aan>y, "everything in this world opposes rean class="hi2">aan>lity". It doesn't necessan class="hi2">aan>rily san class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t in the course. But it MUST be true. The metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l LOGIC, the impeccan class="hi2">aan>ble rean class="hi2">aan>soning, TELLS YOU, than class="hi2">aan>t it MUST be true becan class="hi2">aan>use it is perfectly sound logic. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this world IS an class="hi2">Aan> LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>L SYSTEM Ban class="hi2">Aan>SED ON an class="hi2">Aan>N ENTIRELY LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>L PREMISE.
The rean class="hi2">aan>lly interesting thing is, the metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>L SYSTEM completely removes the need for OPINIONS. Of an class="hi2">aan>ny kind. If God is truth, an class="hi2">aan>nything not of God is not true. Than class="hi2">aan>t is purely logican class="hi2">aan>l. It's not an class="hi2">aan>n opinion. In fan class="hi2">aan>ct the LOGIC is such an class="hi2">aan> COMPLETE system, with no stran class="hi2">aan>nge fuzzy exceptions or loopholes or things unan class="hi2">aan>ccounted for, totan class="hi2">aan>lly blan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd white in its perfect clan class="hi2">aan>rity an class="hi2">aan>nd precision, than class="hi2">aan>t it lean class="hi2">aan>ves NO ROOM for an class="hi2">Aan>NY INTERPRETan class="hi2">Aan>TION. NONE.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd this is why the multitude of "interpretan class="hi2">aan>tions" of the course, an class="hi2">Aan>LL of which an class="hi2">aan>re NOT rean class="hi2">aan>lly ban class="hi2">aan>sed on pure logic, an class="hi2">aan>re fan class="hi2">aan>ulty an class="hi2">aan>nd OF THE EGO. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this inevitan class="hi2">aan>bly results in conflict an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>rguments becan class="hi2">aan>use it inherently lean class="hi2">aan>ds to CONTRan class="hi2">Aan>DICTIONS. The ego can class="hi2">aan>nnot even rean class="hi2">aan>son correctly. Our norman class="hi2">aan>l ego thought processes don't even typican class="hi2">aan>lly function "LIKE GOD THINKS", an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore comes to Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE conclusions an class="hi2">aan>bout His system of logic. Frequently. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you can class="hi2">aan>n see by an class="hi2">aan>ll the deban class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd Wan class="hi2">Aan>R in this forum the sheer extent of this CONFUSION, which han class="hi2">aan>s resulted from NOT SEEING THE METan class="hi2">Aan>PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>L Fan class="hi2">Aan>CTS CLEan class="hi2">Aan>RLY, errors in logican class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>soning, an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>lse conclusions than class="hi2">aan>t EGOs han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>rrived an class="hi2">aan>t. There is ONLY ONE TRUTH.
an class="hi2">Aan>ll we can class="hi2">aan>n do is look an class="hi2">aan>t the logican class="hi2">aan>l system an class="hi2">aan>nd let IT TELL US, whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth MUST be. If we don't, an class="hi2">aan>nd we stan class="hi2">aan>rt trying to Man class="hi2">Aan>KE UP TRUTH, or DECIDE whan class="hi2">aan>t the truth is, we an class="hi2">aan>re now delusionan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re not following the logic an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re not han class="hi2">aan>ving REan class="hi2">Aan>SON. We then will not Man class="hi2">Aan>KE SENSE an class="hi2">aan>nd this lean class="hi2">aan>ds to an class="hi2">aan>ll confusion. Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns, the logican class="hi2">aan>l conclusions being dran class="hi2">aan>wn here, or by an class="hi2">aan>nyone who can class="hi2">aan>n rean class="hi2">aan>son impeccan class="hi2">aan>bly, COMPLETELY TRan class="hi2">Aan>NSCENDS opinion. It REFLECTS the truth. It is Fan class="hi2">Aan>CT. Than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns it is not MY opinion, or yours, or an class="hi2">aan>nyone's. It is how things an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>re.
Therefore, if you can class="hi2">aan>n gran class="hi2">aan>sp this an class="hi2">aan>nd SEE the sense in it, you can class="hi2">aan>n USE the metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l logican class="hi2">aan>l Ban class="hi2">Aan>SIS of everything the course san class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> TOOL. You can class="hi2">aan>n USE it, pran class="hi2">aan>ctican class="hi2">aan>lly, to inform you of whan class="hi2">aan>t the course MUST BE MEan class="hi2">Aan>NING. You can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly hold up an class="hi2">aan> quote, an class="hi2">aan>nd COMPan class="hi2">Aan>RE IT, to the metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l structure, an class="hi2">aan>nd provided your gran class="hi2">aan>sp of the structure is an class="hi2">aan>ccuran class="hi2">aan>te, it will TELL YOU the context in which the quote is plan class="hi2">aan>ced, the mean class="hi2">aan>ning of the references, whan class="hi2">aan>t it is referring TO, an class="hi2">aan>nd thus whan class="hi2">aan>t it MUST MEan class="hi2">Aan>N.
If you get used to doing this, you will find gran class="hi2">aan>duan class="hi2">aan>lly than class="hi2">aan>t everything Jesus san class="hi2">aan>ys in the course is Ban class="hi2">Aan>SED ENTIRELY ON logican class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>soning. Jesus is an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>bsolute Man class="hi2">Aan>STER of this. an class="hi2">Aan>nd you will then rean class="hi2">aan>lize than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ll of the WORDS in the course an class="hi2">aan>re in fan class="hi2">aan>ct expressions OF the metan class="hi2">aan>physics. The number of wan class="hi2">aan>ys an class="hi2">aan>nd forms of expression OF those Fan class="hi2">Aan>CTS, is lan class="hi2">aan>rgely unlimited. Jesus wrote an class="hi2">aan> huge book expression FROM the fan class="hi2">aan>cts. He could've written more. If you "get the fan class="hi2">aan>cts stran class="hi2">aan>ight", an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>re not in denian class="hi2">aan>l or man class="hi2">aan>king logican class="hi2">aan>l errors, you can class="hi2">aan>n evan class="hi2">aan>luan class="hi2">aan>te everything the course's WORDS san class="hi2">aan>y, an class="hi2">aan>nd CORRECTLY RECOGNIZE whan class="hi2">aan>t they MUST MEan class="hi2">Aan>N, in light of whan class="hi2">aan>t the logican class="hi2">aan>l truth san class="hi2">aan>ys MUST be true.
This however is one an class="hi2">aan>rean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t we an class="hi2">aan>re an class="hi2">aan>ll struggling with, becan class="hi2">aan>use most of us do NOT think logican class="hi2">aan>lly or impeccan class="hi2">aan>bly enough. We man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> lot of errors. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the man class="hi2">aan>in rean class="hi2">aan>son for than class="hi2">aan>t is simply NOT SEEING the core logican class="hi2">aan>l Ban class="hi2">Aan>SIS behind the ENTIRE metan class="hi2">aan>physics of the course. an class="hi2">Aan>nd so instean class="hi2">aan>d, we'll try to "put together the pieces" from the bottom up, stan class="hi2">aan>rting with loose ends, trying to an class="hi2">aan>ssemble an class="hi2">aan> cohesive picture, an class="hi2">aan>nd man class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan> lot of errors an class="hi2">aan>long the wan class="hi2">aan>y. We then depend too hean class="hi2">aan>vily on the WORDS. The wordings. The phran class="hi2">aan>sing. Whan class="hi2">aan>t it SEEMS like it san class="hi2">aan>ys. an class="hi2">Aan>nd we will find than class="hi2">aan>t sometimes the CHOICE of words can class="hi2">aan>n seem mislean class="hi2">aan>ding, when you compan class="hi2">aan>re it to the metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l mean class="hi2">aan>ning.
Whan class="hi2">aan>t the logic can class="hi2">aan>n do for you though, is it can class="hi2">aan>n provide you with an class="hi2">aan> powerful tool for discernment, it can class="hi2">aan>n guide you, it can class="hi2">aan>n tell you whan class="hi2">aan>t Jesus's words mean class="hi2">aan>n, it can class="hi2">aan>n clan class="hi2">aan>rify whan class="hi2">aan>t the words Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT mean class="hi2">aan>n, an class="hi2">aan>nd it can class="hi2">aan>n help you to get pan class="hi2">aan>st an class="hi2">aan>ll the nit-picking an class="hi2">aan>rguments an class="hi2">aan>nd disan class="hi2">aan>greements than class="hi2">aan>t come from MULTIPLE OPINIONS, an class="hi2">aan>ll of which result from an class="hi2">aan> Lan class="hi2">Aan>CK OF true fan class="hi2">aan>cts an class="hi2">aan>nd too much fan class="hi2">aan>ulty rean class="hi2">aan>soning or "blindness" to the LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>L METan class="hi2">Aan>PHYSICS. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of the discussions an class="hi2">aan>bout "is it this or than class="hi2">aan>t" come from this "difficulty" with seeing the logic behind it.
Does an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles line up with an class="hi2">aan> PURELY LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>L set of conclusions, an class="hi2">aan> logican class="hi2">aan>l system of blan class="hi2">aan>ck an class="hi2">aan>nd white conclusions? YES. It totan class="hi2">aan>lly does. Wan class="hi2">aan>s this world man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result of an class="hi2">aan> LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>L conclusions? YES. Does dean class="hi2">aan>th occur becan class="hi2">aan>use of the conclusion than class="hi2">aan>t MUST come "inevitan class="hi2">aan>bly" from an class="hi2">aan> premise of rean class="hi2">aan>l sin? YES. Would we man class="hi2">aan>ke BODIES an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> logican class="hi2">aan>l CONCLUSION in an class="hi2">aan> thought system? YES, becan class="hi2">aan>use they an class="hi2">aan>re the "nan class="hi2">aan>turan class="hi2">aan>l outcome" of Wan class="hi2">Aan>LLS THan class="hi2">Aan>T BLOCK TRUTH, an class="hi2">aan>s "sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion devices". Bodies an class="hi2">Aan>RE the idean class="hi2">aan> of the rejection of wholeness. They an class="hi2">Aan>RE limitan class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>n experientian class="hi2">aan>l idean class="hi2">aan> or stan class="hi2">aan>te of mind.
The an class="hi2">aan>tonement is logican class="hi2">aan>l too. It is nothing but the recognition than class="hi2">aan>t only the truth is true. There is no rean class="hi2">aan>l sin. an class="hi2">Aan>n opposite to whan class="hi2">aan>t is an class="hi2">aan>ll encompan class="hi2">aan>ssing does not exist. It is the TRUTH. It represents God's PREMISE an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore results in the resuming of the extension of crean class="hi2">aan>tion. IT Han class="hi2">Aan>S TO. Than class="hi2">aan>t's pan class="hi2">aan>rt of its logican class="hi2">aan>l ban class="hi2">aan>sis. This is an class="hi2">aan>lso why by "denying the denian class="hi2">aan>l of truth", you LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>LLY can class="hi2">aan>ncel out the denian class="hi2">aan>l. Becan class="hi2">aan>use you took whan class="hi2">aan>t is Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE, an class="hi2">aan>nd you tried to man class="hi2">aan>ke it TRUE, in order to deny than class="hi2">aan>t the truth is true. So if you REVERSE than class="hi2">aan>t by DENYING than class="hi2">aan>t the fan class="hi2">aan>lse is true, you deny the denian class="hi2">aan>l of the truth, restoring the truth an class="hi2">aan>s the only truth. This is entirely logican class="hi2">aan>lly ban class="hi2">aan>sed.
To restore you to rean class="hi2">aan>lity, you must UN-OPPOSE God. You must stop "negan class="hi2">aan>ting" the truth". You must stop believing in sin, which is the idean class="hi2">aan> of God's system han class="hi2">aan>ving been destroyed an class="hi2">aan>nd opposed. You must surmount dean class="hi2">aan>th, which mean class="hi2">aan>ns resurrection is nothing but an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ssertion of TRUTH, which is life. Everything to do with God's crean class="hi2">aan>tion, everything to do with the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, everything to do with the descent into the ego an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th, an class="hi2">aan>nd everything to do with hean class="hi2">aan>ling an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening to rean class="hi2">aan>lity, is an class="hi2">aan>ll ENTIRELY the interplan class="hi2">aan>y of PURELY LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>L SYSTEMS or stan class="hi2">aan>tes.
an class="hi2">Aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening is even logican class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd inevitan class="hi2">aan>ble becan class="hi2">aan>use you, being an class="hi2">aan>n effect of God, must FOREVER be an class="hi2">aan>n effect of God, since God never chan class="hi2">aan>nges, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore Can class="hi2">Aan>NNOT ever stop being God's son. Your rean class="hi2">aan>lity is SECURED an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> result of the logic of the system. The ending of dean class="hi2">aan>th is just an class="hi2">aan>s inevitan class="hi2">aan>ble, becan class="hi2">aan>use when you get yourself into an class="hi2">aan> logican class="hi2">aan>l STan class="hi2">Aan>TE of ONLY TRUTH, there can class="hi2">aan>nnot be an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te of an class="hi2">aan>n opposite to life, an class="hi2">aan>nd dean class="hi2">aan>th is therefore "snuffed out" an class="hi2">aan>s Jesus puts it.
Jesus's choice of words is man class="hi2">aan>sterful, but sometimes potentian class="hi2">aan>lly mislean class="hi2">aan>ding. There is an class="hi2">aan> lot of man class="hi2">aan>terian class="hi2">aan>l to digest. There seems to be an class="hi2">aan> lot of stuff to figure out. Sometimes things seem contran class="hi2">aan>dictory which an class="hi2">aan>re not. an class="hi2">Aan>nd our egos man class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> TON of logican class="hi2">aan>l errors. Error, ie sin, is nothing but an class="hi2">aan> logican class="hi2">aan>l mistan class="hi2">aan>ke. You can class="hi2">aan>nnot oppose God's will, so it is "error", logican class="hi2">aan>lly, to CONCLUDE you can class="hi2">aan>n. Hean class="hi2">aan>ling is therefore the undoing of error, by re-estan class="hi2">aan>blishing the fan class="hi2">aan>cts of rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccepting God's premise an class="hi2">aan>s the only true one.
This is an class="hi2">aan>ll the metan class="hi2">aan>physics. It's behind the words. When you GET it, you can class="hi2">aan>n express FROM it, an class="hi2">aan>nd be coming from the truth. You can class="hi2">aan>n express 100,000 books Ban class="hi2">Aan>SED ON this an class="hi2">aan>nd every single one will be in line with an class="hi2">Aan>CIM. We're inside an class="hi2">aan> logican class="hi2">aan>l system of thought, an class="hi2">aan>lbeit ban class="hi2">aan>sed on an class="hi2">aan> Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE stan class="hi2">aan>rting point, resulting in Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE experiences, an class="hi2">aan>nd Fan class="hi2">Aan>LSE outcomes. an class="hi2">Aan> fan class="hi2">aan>lse outcome is SUFFERING. Suffering is inevitan class="hi2">aan>ble when the entire SYSTEM is founded on opposition to hean class="hi2">aan>lth an class="hi2">aan>nd life. Suffering mean class="hi2">aan>ns you an class="hi2">aan>re "suffering from" being mistan class="hi2">aan>ken an class="hi2">aan>bout the fan class="hi2">aan>cts of rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
If you wan class="hi2">aan>nt eternan class="hi2">aan>l life an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ppiness, you must open up to an class="hi2">aan>ccept the REan class="hi2">Aan>SONING of the Holy Spirit, which is the San class="hi2">Aan>ME an class="hi2">aan>s God's SYSTEM or Wan class="hi2">Aan>Y of thinking. Thought Ban class="hi2">Aan>SED ON TRUTH will set you free.
an class="hi2">Aan>LL of the conflict in the an class="hi2">Aan>CIM community is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on NOT SEEING an class="hi2">aan>nd NOT an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPTING the purely LOGICan class="hi2">Aan>L CORE TRUTH in an class="hi2">Aan> Course in Miran class="hi2">aan>cles. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of the disan class="hi2">aan>greement an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t it san class="hi2">aan>ys, whan class="hi2">aan>t it mean class="hi2">aan>ns, whan class="hi2">aan>t it implies, is an class="hi2">aan>ll ban class="hi2">aan>sed on NOT being logican class="hi2">aan>lly sound. an class="hi2">Aan>LL OPINIONS an class="hi2">Aan>RE MUTE! Your opinion han class="hi2">aan>s no van class="hi2">aan>lue, an class="hi2">aan>nd nor does mine. We an class="hi2">aan>re supposed to get an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from han class="hi2">aan>ving opinions. We an class="hi2">aan>re supposed to recognize the Fan class="hi2">Aan>CTS OF REan class="hi2">Aan>LITY, instean class="hi2">aan>d of trying to Man class="hi2">Aan>KE UP interpretan class="hi2">aan>tions. Interpretan class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>re entirely ego. The course Han class="hi2">Aan>S NO INTERPRETan class="hi2">Aan>TIONS. The course is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on Fan class="hi2">Aan>CTS. It is ban class="hi2">aan>sed on TRUTH.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd truth is not an class="hi2">aan>n intepretan class="hi2">aan>tion. It is an class="hi2">aan>n expression FROM THE PURE LOGIC SYSTEM OF GOD'S THINKING. When everyone finan class="hi2">aan>lly recognizes this an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccepts the ONE CORRECT metan class="hi2">aan>physics, there will be no more NEED for conflict, no more Ban class="hi2">Aan>SIS for confusion, no more REan class="hi2">Aan>SON to fight an class="hi2">aan>bout it, an class="hi2">aan>nd no more DEBan class="hi2">Aan>TE an class="hi2">aan>bout whan class="hi2">aan>t it mean class="hi2">aan>ns. Behind an class="hi2">aan>ll the seemingly van class="hi2">aan>ried WORDS in the course, behind an class="hi2">aan>ll the man class="hi2">aan>ny EXPRESSIONS, behind the choice of phran class="hi2">aan>ses an class="hi2">aan>nd the lan class="hi2">aan>nguan class="hi2">aan>ge an class="hi2">aan>nd the wan class="hi2">aan>y Jesus spean class="hi2">aan>ks, there is an class="hi2">aan> PURE METan class="hi2">Aan>PHYSICan class="hi2">Aan>L CLan class="hi2">Aan>RITY.
Do not be DECEIVED by the ILLUSION OF DIFFERENT FORMS in the course. Do not be deceived by tan class="hi2">aan>king the WORDS too literan class="hi2">aan>lly. The WORDS an class="hi2">Aan>RE NOT THE METan class="hi2">Aan>PHYSICS. They an class="hi2">aan>re only ban class="hi2">aan>sed on it. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if you ban class="hi2">aan>se your entire understan class="hi2">aan>nding on THE WORDS, you will very likely come to fan class="hi2">aan>lse inconsistent conclusions. When you get bogged down in isolan class="hi2">aan>ted quotes, inconsistent rean class="hi2">aan>soning, things tan class="hi2">aan>ken out of context, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll the rest of it, you an class="hi2">aan>re missing the CLan class="hi2">Aan>RITY of the course's truth.
Go deeper. Get behind the words. SEE the logican class="hi2">aan>l structures. Recognize the metan class="hi2">aan>physics. It's beyond words. It's beyond those symbols. The course is PURE TRUTHFUL Fan class="hi2">Aan>CT an class="hi2">aan>nd it is totan class="hi2">aan>lly consistent without contran class="hi2">aan>diction. If you an class="hi2">aan>re confused, wondering an class="hi2">aan>bout mean class="hi2">aan>nings, uncertan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>bout structures, or an class="hi2">aan>ny other rean class="hi2">aan>ction to whan class="hi2">aan>t's san class="hi2">aan>id, you an class="hi2">aan>re not using logican class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>soning an class="hi2">aan>nd so an class="hi2">aan>re using blind ego interpretan class="hi2">aan>tion. If you see contran class="hi2">aan>dictions, you man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan> logican class="hi2">aan>l error.
If something doesn't fit, you han class="hi2">aan>ven't seen the logic behind it clean class="hi2">aan>rly enough. an class="hi2">Aan>nd if you conclude things OUT OF an class="hi2">Aan>CCORD with whan class="hi2">aan>t the LOGIC san class="hi2">aan>ys, you an class="hi2">aan>re mistan class="hi2">aan>ken, regan class="hi2">aan>rdless of whan class="hi2">aan>t the words seem to san class="hi2">aan>y. Jesus is 100% perfectly an class="hi2">Aan>CCURan class="hi2">Aan>TE in every single thing he han class="hi2">aan>s expressed FROM an class="hi2">aan> PERFECT GRan class="hi2">Aan>SP of the PERFECTLY CLEan class="hi2">Aan>R metan class="hi2">aan>physican class="hi2">aan>l ban class="hi2">aan>sis of truth. HE han class="hi2">aan>s not man class="hi2">aan>de an class="hi2">aan>ny errors. His expressions in words an class="hi2">aan>re not erroneous. He is PERFECTLY CORRECT. Our only chan class="hi2">aan>llenge is coming to SEE, RECOGNIZE an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>CCEPT, the CORE TRUTH behind the entire course. REan class="hi2">Aan>SON will an class="hi2">aan>llow you to literan class="hi2">aan>lly SEE SENSE.
"The introduction of rean class="hi2">aan>son into the ego's thought system is the beginning of its undoing. For rean class="hi2">aan>son an class="hi2">aan>nd the ego an class="hi2">aan>re contran class="hi2">aan>dictory.

Taking a leap of faith to trust working with Holy Spirit

There is an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in lean class="hi2">aan>p of fan class="hi2">aan>ith required in lean class="hi2">aan>rning to trust an class="hi2">aan>nd work with Spirit. It's like opening up to trusting than class="hi2">aan>t something completely out of sight an class="hi2">aan>nd out of control is going to be there when you need it. We an class="hi2">aan>re completely unan class="hi2">aan>ccustomed to seeing situan class="hi2">aan>tions this wan class="hi2">aan>y an class="hi2">aan>nd it requires an class="hi2">aan> lot of TRUST.
Since we han class="hi2">aan>ve been relying on our own self an class="hi2">aan>ll this time, on our ego intellect, our own an class="hi2">aan>bilities, our knowledge etc.... we an class="hi2">aan>re very used to needing to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> sense of personan class="hi2">aan>l confidence in an class="hi2">aan> situan class="hi2">aan>tion in order to proceed with an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ction.
So we'll han class="hi2">aan>ve to man class="hi2">aan>ke sure than class="hi2">aan>t we're in the right mood, we han class="hi2">aan>ve to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ll the ducks in an class="hi2">aan> row, we need rean class="hi2">aan>ssuran class="hi2">aan>nce than class="hi2">aan>t this is the right thing to do, an class="hi2">aan>nd we feel than class="hi2">aan>t we need to kind of tan class="hi2">aan>lk ourselves into the right fran class="hi2">aan>me of mind to 'perform'. We han class="hi2">aan>ve to rean class="hi2">aan>dy ourselves, an class="hi2">aan>nd we won't move an class="hi2">aan>hean class="hi2">aan>d to tan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>ctions until we han class="hi2">aan>ve gan class="hi2">aan>thered enough ego informan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd enough relian class="hi2">aan>nce on our own can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>bilities. an class="hi2">Aan>nd to crean class="hi2">aan>te something of quan class="hi2">aan>lity simply threan class="hi2">aan>tens us to han class="hi2">aan>ve to perform an class="hi2">aan>t the top of our gan class="hi2">aan>me, which is nerve-wran class="hi2">aan>cking.
But the problem with this is than class="hi2">aan>t it shuts out Spirit. The problem is, since we an class="hi2">aan>re experiencing ourselves an class="hi2">aan>s disconnected from Spirit, we keep han class="hi2">aan>ving to rely on ourselves, depend on ourselves, an class="hi2">aan>ccumulan class="hi2">aan>te our own skills, develop our own prowess, an class="hi2">aan>cquire our own knowledge, an class="hi2">aan>nd build ourselves up to try to han class="hi2">aan>ndle situan class="hi2">aan>tions. But this puts an class="hi2">aan>ll of our sense of TRUST squan class="hi2">aan>rely in our own ego an class="hi2">aan>bilities. Trusting our own ego produces FEan class="hi2">Aan>R which undermines an class="hi2">aan>ny sense of relian class="hi2">aan>bility.
Spirit doesn't work the san class="hi2">aan>me wan class="hi2">aan>y the ego works. Spirit is much more spontan class="hi2">aan>neous. Spirit is an class="hi2">aan>lso extremely can class="hi2">aan>pan class="hi2">aan>ble an class="hi2">aan>nd unlimited an class="hi2">aan>nd doesn't suffer from the inan class="hi2">aan>dequan class="hi2">aan>cies, limitan class="hi2">aan>tions, insecurities an class="hi2">aan>nd difficulties than class="hi2">aan>t our ego self han class="hi2">aan>s to dean class="hi2">aan>l with constan class="hi2">aan>ntly.
Spirit is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly rean class="hi2">aan>dy to fly right now, right an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y, without an class="hi2">aan>ny prepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion. God is immedian class="hi2">aan>tely on han class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>dy to hean class="hi2">aan>l, right now. Holy Spirit is immedian class="hi2">aan>tely on han class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>nd rean class="hi2">aan>dy to tean class="hi2">aan>ch the highest of truths, right now. They don't need time to get rean class="hi2">aan>dy. They don't han class="hi2">aan>ve to figure out whan class="hi2">aan>t to do. They don't need to get themselves into the right mood or to be on their best form or to han class="hi2">aan>ve put an class="hi2">aan>side an class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>ny fean class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>s possible in order to tan class="hi2">aan>ke some decisive an class="hi2">aan>ction.
So whan class="hi2">aan>t this mean class="hi2">aan>ns is, if you wan class="hi2">aan>nt to work with Spirit, such an class="hi2">aan>s to express Holy Spirit's Voice or to tean class="hi2">aan>ch from an class="hi2">aan> higher plan class="hi2">aan>ce or to perform an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>ling miran class="hi2">aan>cle, there han class="hi2">aan>s to be an class="hi2">aan> certan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>mount of 'blind fan class="hi2">aan>ith' an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> different kind of trust. This trust quite literan class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t you rean class="hi2">aan>lly need to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly STan class="hi2">Aan>RT tan class="hi2">aan>king steps to move forwan class="hi2">aan>rd an class="hi2">aan>nd express, knowing than class="hi2">aan>t Spirit is going to show up immedian class="hi2">aan>tely an class="hi2">aan>nd be there to help you.
It an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly kind of requires you to be much more spontan class="hi2">aan>neous an class="hi2">aan>nd UNPREPan class="hi2">Aan>RED. (Who knew than class="hi2">aan>t being unprepan class="hi2">aan>red could lean class="hi2">aan>d to grean class="hi2">aan>ter confidence when trusting Spirit?!) an class="hi2">Aan>nd even if you feel unprepan class="hi2">aan>red an class="hi2">aan>nd uncertan class="hi2">aan>in an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>fran class="hi2">aan>id an class="hi2">aan>nd doubtful an class="hi2">aan>bout whether YOU can class="hi2">aan>n pull off whan class="hi2">aan>tever it is than class="hi2">aan>t you're an class="hi2">aan>bout to an class="hi2">aan>ttempt - tean class="hi2">aan>ching, hean class="hi2">aan>ling, writing, whan class="hi2">aan>tever.... even though you do not know whan class="hi2">aan>t the heck you an class="hi2">aan>re going to san class="hi2">aan>y, even though do not know how the heck you're going to 'do this', you han class="hi2">aan>ve to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly stan class="hi2">aan>rt doing it with fan class="hi2">aan>ith than class="hi2">aan>t Holy Spirit is right with you in the MOMENT.... an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>s you begin to 'flow', an class="hi2">aan>ll of Hean class="hi2">aan>ven is going to rush in to support an class="hi2">aan>nd help you.
There an class="hi2">aan>re people who receive hean class="hi2">aan>ling miran class="hi2">aan>cles, let's san class="hi2">aan>y for exan class="hi2">aan>mple they han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> broken an class="hi2">aan>rm or something. The person pran class="hi2">aan>ys for them an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ling begins, but the person still believes they don't han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan> hean class="hi2">aan>ling, an class="hi2">aan>nd the an class="hi2">aan>rms seems to be an class="hi2">aan> problem. But then the hean class="hi2">aan>ler tells the person, MOVE YOUR an class="hi2">Aan>RM. an class="hi2">Aan>nd the person moves their an class="hi2">aan>rm, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">Aan>S they move their an class="hi2">aan>rm, hean class="hi2">aan>ling comes to the an class="hi2">aan>rm.
There an class="hi2">aan>re countless exan class="hi2">aan>mples of this in Jesus's miran class="hi2">aan>cles where he tells someone to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly DO something, to do something than class="hi2">aan>t they supposedly currently can class="hi2">aan>nnot do, so than class="hi2">aan>t WHEN they an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to do it, with some fan class="hi2">aan>ith than class="hi2">aan>t it will BECOME possible, their willingness an class="hi2">aan>nd openness is whan class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly brings the miran class="hi2">aan>cle into them an class="hi2">aan>nd hean class="hi2">aan>ling occurs, an class="hi2">Aan>S they an class="hi2">Aan>CT an class="hi2">Aan>S IF they an class="hi2">aan>re hean class="hi2">aan>led. For exan class="hi2">aan>mple Jesus might've comman class="hi2">aan>nded 'get up an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>lk', an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>lyzed person who could not wan class="hi2">aan>lk, would an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st an class="hi2">Aan>TTEMPT to get up an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>lk, with enough trust an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>ith than class="hi2">aan>t perhan class="hi2">aan>ps it COULD work, an class="hi2">aan>nd then an class="hi2">aan>s they get up, suddenly they can class="hi2">aan>n wan class="hi2">aan>lk. But not until they stan class="hi2">aan>rted trying to do so.
So you see, Spirit is very immedian class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd becomes an class="hi2">aan> pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the flow an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan>nd when you an class="hi2">aan>re willing to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly tan class="hi2">aan>ke some an class="hi2">aan>ction on fan class="hi2">aan>ith. You will not be prepan class="hi2">aan>red. You will not be rean class="hi2">aan>dy. You will not know how you're going to do this. You'll get to the very limits of the edges of your own ego an class="hi2">aan>bilities an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll the informan class="hi2">aan>tion you could possibly han class="hi2">aan>ve gan class="hi2">aan>thered an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll the prepan class="hi2">aan>redness you could've possible done, an class="hi2">aan>nd still there is an class="hi2">aan>nother step needed. To trust Spirit, you han class="hi2">aan>ve to tan class="hi2">aan>ke the lean class="hi2">aan>p. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to an class="hi2">Aan>CT an class="hi2">Aan>S IF miran class="hi2">aan>culous things can class="hi2">aan>n han class="hi2">aan>ppen, an class="hi2">Aan>CT an class="hi2">Aan>S IF hean class="hi2">aan>ling is going to flow when you san class="hi2">aan>y it will, an class="hi2">Aan>CT an class="hi2">Aan>S IF Spirit is going to ban class="hi2">aan>ck you, even if right now you don't feel even connected to Spirit. an class="hi2">Aan>nd Spirit will rush in an class="hi2">aan>nd be right there to support you.
For exan class="hi2">aan>mple, I an class="hi2">aan>m writing an class="hi2">aan> book an class="hi2">aan>nd I han class="hi2">aan>ve procran class="hi2">aan>stinan class="hi2">aan>ted on this for an class="hi2">aan> long time becan class="hi2">aan>use I kept feeling than class="hi2">aan>t I wan class="hi2">aan>sn't quite rean class="hi2">aan>dy, or in the right mood, or I just wan class="hi2">aan>sn't prepan class="hi2">aan>red. I felt like I needed to get MYSELF into the best possible fran class="hi2">aan>me of mind, the most purified rean class="hi2">aan>diness, the most spirituan class="hi2">aan>l of mindsets etc, in order to be an class="hi2">Aan>BLE to pull off this writing. an class="hi2">Aan>nd I could never rean class="hi2">aan>lly rise up to the occan class="hi2">aan>sion. I couldn't get myself into the 'heights' of whan class="hi2">aan>t I knew needed to be written down, an class="hi2">aan>nd wan class="hi2">aan>s just an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys riddled with insecurities an class="hi2">aan>nd excuses an class="hi2">aan>nd fean class="hi2">aan>rs an class="hi2">aan>nd worries an class="hi2">aan>bout how wan class="hi2">aan>s *I* going to write this an class="hi2">aan>nd how wan class="hi2">aan>s *I* going to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to know whan class="hi2">aan>t to san class="hi2">aan>y or to san class="hi2">aan>y it correctly etc. So I an class="hi2">aan>voided it.
But then whan class="hi2">aan>t broke, wan class="hi2">aan>s than class="hi2">aan>t I can class="hi2">aan>me to an class="hi2">aan> plan class="hi2">aan>ce of an class="hi2">aan>t lean class="hi2">aan>st rean class="hi2">aan>lizing it's not going to be me doing this on my own. It's not going to come FROM me, its going to come from Spirit. an class="hi2">Aan>nd I'm going to write it down, but I'm not going to know WHan class="hi2">Aan>T to write. I'm not going to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to prepan class="hi2">aan>re for it or study for it or han class="hi2">aan>ve everything an class="hi2">aan>ll organ class="hi2">aan>nized to try to get an class="hi2">aan> sense of confidence an class="hi2">aan>bout it. Instean class="hi2">aan>d, whan class="hi2">aan>t its going to can class="hi2">aan>ll for is for me to an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly sit down, han class="hi2">aan>nds on the keyboan class="hi2">aan>rd, an class="hi2">aan>nd to be in than class="hi2">aan>t moment WITH Spirit, inviting Spirit to be the one to write, an class="hi2">aan>nd to then just stan class="hi2">aan>rt doing it. Just GO. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t mean class="hi2">aan>ns trusting something totan class="hi2">aan>lly outside of myself, totan class="hi2">aan>lly beyond my own an class="hi2">aan>bilities, beyond my mind, beyond an class="hi2">aan>ny personan class="hi2">aan>l rean class="hi2">aan>diness. an class="hi2">Aan>nd in than class="hi2">aan>t moment, in the now, in the present 'flow' of it, Spirit is right there an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>rted tan class="hi2">aan>lking, an class="hi2">aan>nd I stan class="hi2">aan>rted typing, an class="hi2">aan>nd out it can class="hi2">aan>me.
Surprisingly ean class="hi2">aan>sy once it got going, but I'd an class="hi2">aan>voided it so much becan class="hi2">aan>use my mind, my ego mind, my sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te mind, couldn't see pan class="hi2">aan>st itself. It couldn't get outside of its own box or its own relian class="hi2">aan>nce on "I must do this an class="hi2">aan>ll by myself". The mind needs to be han class="hi2">aan>nded over to Spirit. Spirit is mean class="hi2">aan>nt to be in chan class="hi2">aan>rge of how the mind is used. an class="hi2">Aan>nd this rean class="hi2">aan>lly does mean class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly surrendering this constan class="hi2">aan>nt relian class="hi2">aan>nce on independent self, on sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tely han class="hi2">aan>ving 'the power' or 'the skills' to do whan class="hi2">aan>tever. To be Spirit-ban class="hi2">aan>cked we han class="hi2">aan>ve to stop being so independent an class="hi2">aan>nd so self-relian class="hi2">aan>nt an class="hi2">aan>nd trust something than class="hi2">aan>t we don't even seem to han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>ny control over, an class="hi2">aan> source of confidence an class="hi2">aan>nd tean class="hi2">aan>ching an class="hi2">aan>nd crean class="hi2">aan>tion than class="hi2">aan>t is beyond our own self. an class="hi2">Aan>nd nothing can class="hi2">aan>n prepan class="hi2">aan>re you for than class="hi2">aan>t. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to just do it an class="hi2">aan>nd try to trust than class="hi2">aan>t you're going to be ban class="hi2">aan>cked up, an class="hi2">aan>nd you will be.
This is why development of trust is so importan class="hi2">aan>nt. Lean class="hi2">aan>rning to trust than class="hi2">aan>t Spirit han class="hi2">aan>s got your ban class="hi2">aan>ck, than class="hi2">aan>t Spirit can class="hi2">aan>n hean class="hi2">aan>l, than class="hi2">aan>t Spirit can class="hi2">aan>n do miran class="hi2">aan>cles through you, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t Spirit can class="hi2">aan>n help you no man class="hi2">aan>tter whether you han class="hi2">aan>ve everything under control or not. It's an class="hi2">aan>ll an class="hi2">aan>bout lean class="hi2">aan>rning to be pan class="hi2">aan>rt of an class="hi2">aan> TEan class="hi2">Aan>M, instean class="hi2">aan>d of going solo an class="hi2">aan>ll the time. You don't han class="hi2">aan>ve to do this an class="hi2">aan>ll by yourself, an class="hi2">aan>nd you DO NOT han class="hi2">aan>ve to find the confidence an class="hi2">aan>nd prowess to pull off some an class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>zing fean class="hi2">aan>t of expression an class="hi2">aan>ll on your own. It's much ean class="hi2">aan>sier to let Spirit do the hean class="hi2">aan>vy lifting, if you can class="hi2">aan>n let go enough to tan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan> shot in the dan class="hi2">aan>rk. an class="hi2">Aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t's whan class="hi2">aan>t it's like often, just blindly an class="hi2">aan>ssuming than class="hi2">aan>t Spirit will do its thing when you tan class="hi2">aan>ke an class="hi2">aan>ction to begin the flow.
I'm glan class="hi2">aan>d to san class="hi2">aan>y I got an class="hi2">aan> whole chan class="hi2">aan>pter written, once I finan class="hi2">aan>lly stopped fean class="hi2">aan>ring (depending on my own strength) an class="hi2">aan>nd trusted than class="hi2">aan>t I just han class="hi2">aan>d to 'show up' in the present moment an class="hi2">aan>nd be rean class="hi2">aan>dy an class="hi2">aan>nd willing an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t Spirit would do the rest. It can class="hi2">aan>n rean class="hi2">aan>lly be dan class="hi2">aan>unting to han class="hi2">aan>ve this kind of trust, to trust in something you can class="hi2">aan>n't see an class="hi2">aan>nd doesn't even seem to be there until the very moment than class="hi2">aan>t you're han class="hi2">aan>ving the fan class="hi2">aan>ith than class="hi2">aan>t it will show up. Something outside your control, outside your mind.
Our minds an class="hi2">aan>re supposed to be connected to Spirit in this wan class="hi2">aan>y. They're not supposed to be sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted off an class="hi2">aan>nd trying to rely on themselves. We're not supposed to be bolstered up, or turned into 'models of success', or superheroes. We're not mean class="hi2">aan>nt to be thoroughly educan class="hi2">aan>ted an class="hi2">aan>nd lean class="hi2">aan>rned. We're not mean class="hi2">aan>nt to develop this extran class="hi2">aan>ordinan class="hi2">aan>ry prowess an class="hi2">aan>t doing something an class="hi2">aan>man class="hi2">aan>zing an class="hi2">aan>ll by ourselves. This is not how the mind is mean class="hi2">aan>nt to operan class="hi2">aan>te in isolan class="hi2">aan>tion. It's mean class="hi2">aan>nt to be connected to an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan> RECEIVER of an class="hi2">aan> flow of spirituan class="hi2">aan>l power from Spirit. It's mean class="hi2">aan>nt to be in service to Spirit. It's mean class="hi2">aan>nt to receive God an class="hi2">aan>nd to extend God, not to come up with its own sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te power or its own sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>bilities. Tran class="hi2">aan>nsitioning over from self-relian class="hi2">aan>nce to God-relian class="hi2">aan>nce is an class="hi2">aan> tough chan class="hi2">aan>llenge an class="hi2">aan>nd goes entirely an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst our entire ego-centric wan class="hi2">aan>y of living, but it's whan class="hi2">aan>t we're can class="hi2">aan>lled to do.
It an class="hi2">aan>dds an class="hi2">aan> whole new level of mean class="hi2">aan>ning to "let go an class="hi2">aan>nd let God".

You can't recognize a call for love if you're not loving

Either its love or an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>ll for love. But you can class="hi2">aan>n't recognize than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>ll for love is ONLY an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>ll for love if you an class="hi2">aan>re not an class="hi2">aan>lrean class="hi2">aan>dy loving.
So there you an class="hi2">aan>re, not being loving yourself, an class="hi2">aan>nd you see an class="hi2">aan>nother person not being loving either, an class="hi2">aan>nd instean class="hi2">aan>d of being an class="hi2">aan>ble to see clean class="hi2">aan>rly an class="hi2">aan>nd recognize their can class="hi2">aan>ll for love, you instean class="hi2">aan>d see it an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> can class="hi2">aan>ll for an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck.
In other words, you see your own an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck reflected in the person an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n't look pan class="hi2">aan>st it.
So it's an class="hi2">aan>ll very well san class="hi2">aan>ying than class="hi2">aan>t people an class="hi2">aan>re can class="hi2">aan>lling for love an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t we need to give love, but if you an class="hi2">aan>re not giving love you won't even be an class="hi2">aan>ble to perceive this clean class="hi2">aan>rly. You'll see the person an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cking you an class="hi2">aan>nd not loving you an class="hi2">aan>nd you won't think, oh, than class="hi2">aan>t person is can class="hi2">aan>lling for love - it won't be obvious an class="hi2">aan>nd immedian class="hi2">aan>te - an class="hi2">aan>nd if you try to force yourself to 'see it' then you're just fan class="hi2">aan>king it.
When you an class="hi2">aan>re love, it fran class="hi2">aan>mes an class="hi2">aan>ll of rean class="hi2">aan>lity an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ll perception in such an class="hi2">aan> wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t everything strikes you differently. You han class="hi2">aan>ve enough clan class="hi2">aan>rity an class="hi2">aan>nd knowing to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to DISCERN than class="hi2">aan>t someone is either being loving or is can class="hi2">aan>lling for love. Its obvious to you than class="hi2">aan>t the person is hurting or than class="hi2">aan>t they need help or than class="hi2">aan>t their rean class="hi2">aan>l need is love, ran class="hi2">aan>ther than class="hi2">aan>n whan class="hi2">aan>t they san class="hi2">aan>y they need.
I don't know than class="hi2">aan>t it's helpful to try to go an class="hi2">aan>round thinking of everyone an class="hi2">aan>s can class="hi2">aan>lling out for love. If I'm not 100% loving then it isn't genuine. It can class="hi2">aan>n be an class="hi2">aan> GOan class="hi2">Aan>L, however, to become an class="hi2">aan>ble to discern than class="hi2">aan>t there is only love or an class="hi2">aan> lan class="hi2">aan>ck of love, but I can class="hi2">aan>n't possibly expect myself to be an class="hi2">aan>ble to perceive this while I still han class="hi2">aan>ve an class="hi2">aan>n ego.
With an class="hi2">aan>n ego I will see ego in others an class="hi2">aan>nd I will see it an class="hi2">aan>s an class="hi2">aan> justified an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck than class="hi2">aan>t justifies why I should NOT love in return. I need to use this to help me to ran class="hi2">aan>ise my own an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness an class="hi2">aan>bout how *I* han class="hi2">aan>ve blocked love an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>m can class="hi2">aan>lling for love, then an class="hi2">aan>llow love in, so than class="hi2">aan>t I can class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>llow it to extend to others an class="hi2">aan>lso.
Once I've done than class="hi2">aan>t, an class="hi2">aan>nd han class="hi2">aan>ve become the light of love, then I WILL be an class="hi2">aan>ble to see than class="hi2">aan>t whan class="hi2">aan>t other people an class="hi2">aan>re doing is can class="hi2">aan>lling out for love, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t love is the ONLY an class="hi2">aan>pproprian class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nswer to respond with in every can class="hi2">aan>se.

Communication is oneness with God, ego communication is a communication failure

Communican class="hi2">aan>tion mean class="hi2">aan>ns shan class="hi2">aan>ring. Not shan class="hi2">aan>ring where one person han class="hi2">aan>nds over something to someone else, who now possesses than class="hi2">aan>t thing, but the first person doesn't.

In other words, communican class="hi2">aan>tion mean class="hi2">aan>ns Oneness.
When there is an class="hi2">aan> brean class="hi2">aan>kdown in Oneness, where sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tions an class="hi2">aan>re introduced, it' like erecting wan class="hi2">aan>lls than class="hi2">aan>t come between. Sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te pan class="hi2">aan>rts of mind - or individuan class="hi2">aan>ls - now seem to be on either side of the wan class="hi2">aan>ll, like the Berlin wan class="hi2">aan>ll.

Once communican class="hi2">aan>tion han class="hi2">aan>s broken down, i.e. shan class="hi2">aan>ring han class="hi2">aan>s broken down, we get into an class="hi2">aan> stan class="hi2">aan>te where there is ban class="hi2">aan>rely an class="hi2">aan>ny rean class="hi2">aan>l shan class="hi2">aan>ring. Sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te individuan class="hi2">aan>ls now seem cut off from ean class="hi2">aan>ch other with van class="hi2">aan>rious forms of distan class="hi2">aan>nce between them.
The physican class="hi2">aan>l world with an class="hi2">aan>ll its illusions an class="hi2">aan>rises out of this brean class="hi2">aan>kdown in communican class="hi2">aan>tion, resulting from sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd illusions of fran class="hi2">aan>gmentan class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>nd distan class="hi2">aan>nce. "Span class="hi2">aan>cetime" rean class="hi2">aan>lly mean class="hi2">aan>ns "distan class="hi2">aan>nce from here."
When communican class="hi2">aan>tion is diminished, it degran class="hi2">aan>des an class="hi2">aan>nd devolves into whan class="hi2">aan>t we commonly think of an class="hi2">aan>s forms of communican class="hi2">aan>tion. These forms of communican class="hi2">aan>tion an class="hi2">aan>re severely stran class="hi2">aan>ined becan class="hi2">aan>use there is so much sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion involved.

But there is an class="hi2">aan>lso an class="hi2">aan>n illusion of shan class="hi2">aan>ring. Prowess an class="hi2">aan>t using the ego's forms of communican class="hi2">aan>tion doesn't necessan class="hi2">aan>rily mean class="hi2">aan>n there is openness to true shan class="hi2">aan>ring. There an class="hi2">aan>re excellent "communican class="hi2">aan>tors" in the world but they an class="hi2">aan>re not necessan class="hi2">aan>rily One with God, or experiencing the san class="hi2">aan>me exan class="hi2">aan>ct identity an class="hi2">aan>nd stan class="hi2">aan>te of being an class="hi2">aan>s the One Son of God.
The body limits communican class="hi2">aan>tion, an class="hi2">aan>nd every wan class="hi2">aan>y than class="hi2">aan>t we use it to express through its forms, an class="hi2">aan>re brean class="hi2">aan>kdowns in communican class="hi2">aan>tion.

This han class="hi2">aan>ppens becan class="hi2">aan>use you know than class="hi2">aan>t there is an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>jor difference between the wan class="hi2">aan>y you perceive sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tely an class="hi2">aan>nd the wan class="hi2">aan>y they perceive sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tely. You han class="hi2">aan>ve to man class="hi2">aan>ke egoic efforts to force them to listen, an class="hi2">aan>nd the ego then produces this fictionan class="hi2">aan>l idean class="hi2">aan> than class="hi2">aan>t ... if you could just get people to "get" whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re san class="hi2">aan>ying, if you could just get them to "see" your point of view, or if you could just shan class="hi2">aan>ke the denian class="hi2">aan>l out of them to get them to an class="hi2">aan>gree with you wholehean class="hi2">aan>rtedly, THEN this would be communican class="hi2">aan>tion. However, this is impossible to an class="hi2">aan>chieve.
This an class="hi2">aan>utoman class="hi2">aan>tic compulsion to coerce others to see things your wan class="hi2">aan>y, is simply becan class="hi2">aan>use you an class="hi2">aan>re not both shan class="hi2">aan>ring the san class="hi2">aan>me direct experience an class="hi2">aan>nd there is no Oneness. This mean class="hi2">aan>ns the other person will han class="hi2">aan>ve to be chan class="hi2">aan>nged in order for them to seem to shan class="hi2">aan>re whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>re experiencing, an class="hi2">aan>nd this chan class="hi2">aan>nge can class="hi2">aan>n only be brought an class="hi2">aan>bout through force, in defense of whan class="hi2">aan>t you perceive an class="hi2">aan>s being the whole truth.
While there is an class="hi2">aan> sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion, there can class="hi2">aan>nnot be perfect communican class="hi2">aan>tion. The ego will an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to clan class="hi2">aan>im it is possible to KEEP the sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion between you an class="hi2">aan>nd others, to communican class="hi2">aan>te only through its an class="hi2">aan>pproved chan class="hi2">aan>nnels, an class="hi2">aan>nd to nevertheless perfectly tran class="hi2">aan>nsfer whan class="hi2">aan>t is in you to others, or to precisely get from others whan class="hi2">aan>t is in them. This is impossible an class="hi2">aan>nd will never work. The sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion distorts the messan class="hi2">aan>ge an class="hi2">aan>nd will an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys inhibit it.
True communican class="hi2">aan>tion in an class="hi2">Aan>CIM mean class="hi2">aan>ns Oneness. When there is an class="hi2">aan> revelan class="hi2">aan>tion, God is communican class="hi2">aan>ting fully to you. When there is full an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>kening, you an class="hi2">aan>re then an class="hi2">aan>ble to shan class="hi2">aan>re in full communican class="hi2">aan>tion. The Course spean class="hi2">aan>ks of how we an class="hi2">aan>re to use miran class="hi2">aan>cles to help us to "ran class="hi2">aan>ise the level of communican class="hi2">aan>tion". Whan class="hi2">aan>t this mean class="hi2">aan>ns is decrean class="hi2">aan>sing sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion so than class="hi2">aan>t there can class="hi2">aan>n truly be rean class="hi2">aan>l shan class="hi2">aan>ring - oneness.
"To be with an class="hi2">aan> body is not communican class="hi2">aan>tion."
"The whole an class="hi2">aan>im of the miran class="hi2">aan>cle is to ran class="hi2">aan>ise the level of communican class="hi2">aan>tion."
"11. Pran class="hi2">aan>yer is the medium of miran class="hi2">aan>cles. It is an class="hi2">aan> mean class="hi2">aan>ns of communican class="hi2">aan>tion of the crean class="hi2">aan>ted with the Crean class="hi2">aan>tor. Through pran class="hi2">aan>yer love is received, an class="hi2">aan>nd through miran class="hi2">aan>cles love is expressed."
"Like an class="hi2">aan>ny communican class="hi2">aan>tion medium, the body receives an class="hi2">aan>nd sends the messan class="hi2">aan>ges than class="hi2">aan>t it is given. It han class="hi2">aan>s no feeling for them. an class="hi2">Aan>ll of the feeling with which they an class="hi2">aan>re invested is given by the sender an class="hi2">aan>nd the receiver."
This an class="hi2">aan>lso mean class="hi2">aan>ns than class="hi2">aan>t, in fan class="hi2">aan>ct, the ego does not fan class="hi2">aan>cilitan class="hi2">aan>te communican class="hi2">aan>tion - it blocks it. It spins illusions of communican class="hi2">aan>tion to try to bridge the gan class="hi2">aan>p of sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>tion which it itself put in plan class="hi2">aan>ce, which is "specian class="hi2">aan>l communican class="hi2">aan>tion" (than class="hi2">aan>t's not an class="hi2">aan>n offician class="hi2">aan>l course term but it could be). Illusions of successful communican class="hi2">aan>tion, or the wan class="hi2">aan>ys than class="hi2">aan>t you improve the ego's forms of communican class="hi2">aan>tion, covers up an class="hi2">aan>nd distorts rean class="hi2">aan>l communican class="hi2">aan>tion.
In truth then, nothing than class="hi2">aan>t the ego an class="hi2">aan>ttempts to "shan class="hi2">aan>re" goes an class="hi2">aan>nywhere. It's ultiman class="hi2">aan>te form of communican class="hi2">aan>tion is an class="hi2">aan>ttempted dean class="hi2">aan>th, whereby the body is used an class="hi2">aan>s the ultiman class="hi2">aan>te wean class="hi2">aan>pon to try to prove than class="hi2">aan>t oneself is dean class="hi2">aan>d an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore so an class="hi2">aan>re others. an class="hi2">Aan>nd yet, this han class="hi2">aan>s no effect on others. The more you enter into the ego the more cut off from others you become, an class="hi2">aan>nd the effects of whan class="hi2">aan>t you an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to bring an class="hi2">aan>bout cean class="hi2">aan>se an class="hi2">aan>ll the more.
This is an class="hi2">aan>lso why nothing rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>n be threan class="hi2">aan>tened. The ego can class="hi2">aan>nnot an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck God. The more it an class="hi2">aan>ttempts to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck God the less effective it is. The ego's an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cks an class="hi2">aan>re withdran class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>ls from God. The more it tries to bring an class="hi2">aan>bout dean class="hi2">aan>th, the more confined an class="hi2">aan>nd sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>ted it becomes, an class="hi2">aan>nd this keeps an class="hi2">aan>ll of its effects securely an class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan> distan class="hi2">aan>nce from God. The Kingdom of God can class="hi2">aan>nnot be an class="hi2">aan>ssan class="hi2">aan>iled becan class="hi2">aan>use the ego's forms of communican class="hi2">aan>tion - "an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck" - is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly an class="hi2">aan>n an class="hi2">aan>ct of fan class="hi2">aan>iling to will an class="hi2">aan>nything rean class="hi2">aan>l.
"Exclude an class="hi2">aan>ny pan class="hi2">aan>rt of the Kingdom from yourself an class="hi2">aan>nd you an class="hi2">aan>re not whole."
"The body no more dies than class="hi2">aan>n it can class="hi2">aan>n feel. It does nothing."
"Nothing outside yourself can class="hi2">aan>n hurt you, or disturb your pean class="hi2">aan>ce."
"Nothing can class="hi2">aan>n destroy your pean class="hi2">aan>ce of mind becan class="hi2">aan>use God goes with you wherever you go."
"There is no dean class="hi2">aan>th becan class="hi2">aan>use the Son of God is like his Fan class="hi2">aan>ther. Nothing you can class="hi2">aan>n do can class="hi2">aan>n chan class="hi2">aan>nge Eternan class="hi2">aan>l Love."

Ego attack is really a withdrawal, because the ego is backwards

Everything in the ego's mindset looks like one thing but is an class="hi2">aan>ctuan class="hi2">aan>lly something completely opposite.

God can class="hi2">aan>nnot be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked. When you try to an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck God, if you were to go punch God in the fan class="hi2">aan>ce, guess whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>ppens? Every effort you man class="hi2">aan>ke to throw your fist forwan class="hi2">aan>rd, it's an class="hi2">aan>s though your fist goes nowhere, an class="hi2">aan>nd instean class="hi2">aan>d the rest of your body is pushed ban class="hi2">aan>ckwan class="hi2">aan>rds.

This is why we an class="hi2">aan>re immortan class="hi2">aan>l.
Immortan class="hi2">aan>lity can class="hi2">aan>nnot be an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>cked. Nothing rean class="hi2">aan>l can class="hi2">aan>n be threan class="hi2">aan>tened.

This isn' just informan class="hi2">aan>tion. This is the composition of rean class="hi2">aan>lity.
Love is, an class="hi2">aan>nd ego is not.
Love is, an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ttan class="hi2">aan>ck is not.
Viciousness an class="hi2">aan>nd terror goes han class="hi2">aan>nd in han class="hi2">aan>nd with being terrified. Torrorism IS fean class="hi2">aan>r.

Love is therefore an class="hi2">aan>lwan class="hi2">aan>ys perfectly protected.
"The Kingdom is perfectly united an class="hi2">aan>nd perfectly protected, an class="hi2">aan>nd the ego will not prevan class="hi2">aan>il an class="hi2">aan>gan class="hi2">aan>inst it. an class="hi2">Aan>men" - an class="hi2">Aan>CIM
This is why you can class="hi2">aan>nnot be rean class="hi2">aan>lly hurt. This is why nobody else can class="hi2">aan>n do an class="hi2">aan>nything to you. This is why you an class="hi2">aan>re perman class="hi2">aan>nently invulneran class="hi2">aan>ble. This is why you han class="hi2">aan>ve IMMORTan class="hi2">Aan>LITY an class="hi2">aan>nd can class="hi2">aan>n never die.

You're trying to find a Self that you believe you've lost

Most people in this world an class="hi2">aan>re trying to find the Self than class="hi2">aan>t they think they lost.
They're trying to find the Love (God) than class="hi2">aan>t they think they an class="hi2">aan>re sepan class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>te from.
They an class="hi2">aan>re looking everywhere than class="hi2">aan>t this Self/Love/God does not exist, outside of themselves an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from presence, an class="hi2">aan>lso in the pan class="hi2">aan>st an class="hi2">aan>nd future.
So everyone in an class="hi2">aan>ll their seeking is rean class="hi2">aan>lly trying to locan class="hi2">aan>te an class="hi2">aan>nd get ban class="hi2">aan>ck the sense of 'I an class="hi2">Aan>m' than class="hi2">aan>t they covered up when they stan class="hi2">aan>rted seeking. How will they find 'home' an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>y from home?
So an class="hi2">aan>ll the gan class="hi2">aan>thering an class="hi2">aan>nd getting an class="hi2">aan>nd tan class="hi2">aan>king an class="hi2">aan>nd stean class="hi2">aan>ling an class="hi2">aan>nd ean class="hi2">aan>rning an class="hi2">aan>nd succeeding an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>chieving an class="hi2">aan>nd efforting an class="hi2">aan>nd hunting an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>cquiring an class="hi2">aan>nd buying an class="hi2">aan>nd so on ... it's an class="hi2">aan>ll the world's an class="hi2">aan>ttempt to reclan class="hi2">aan>im whan class="hi2">aan>t it deeply believes it han class="hi2">aan>s LOST.
an class="hi2">Aan>nd whan class="hi2">aan>t it believes it han class="hi2">aan>s lost is God.
It seeks to replenish than class="hi2">aan>t loss through an class="hi2">aan>ll these externan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>venues, using illusions an class="hi2">aan>nd forms an class="hi2">aan>nd objects an class="hi2">aan>nd fan class="hi2">aan>lseness an class="hi2">aan>nd idols an class="hi2">aan>nd specian class="hi2">aan>l relan class="hi2">aan>tionships etc, to try to 'fill up' than class="hi2">aan>t sense of emptiness - the lan class="hi2">aan>ck of God - the lan class="hi2">aan>ck of True Self. Becan class="hi2">aan>use God an class="hi2">aan>nd True Self han class="hi2">aan>ve been covered up, an class="hi2">aan>nd than class="hi2">aan>t's whan class="hi2">aan>t han class="hi2">aan>s man class="hi2">aan>de everyone believe they an class="hi2">aan>re in need, an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore need to seek.
The truth is than class="hi2">aan>t God is not missing, an class="hi2">aan>nd everyone's True Self is eternan class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd still exists just an class="hi2">aan>s God crean class="hi2">aan>ted it.
It's an class="hi2">aan>ll just an class="hi2">aan> man class="hi2">aan>tter of unconsciousness - ego - stan class="hi2">aan>nding in the wan class="hi2">aan>y of an class="hi2">aan>wan class="hi2">aan>reness, deceived by illusions an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ppean class="hi2">aan>ran class="hi2">aan>nces, an class="hi2">aan>ttempting to an class="hi2">aan>ssert than class="hi2">aan>t God is lost an class="hi2">aan>nd therefore finding 'other stuff' will replan class="hi2">aan>ce Him.
Nothing can class="hi2">aan>n replan class="hi2">aan>ce love becan class="hi2">aan>use love can class="hi2">aan>nnot be removed. But than class="hi2">aan>t an class="hi2">aan>lso mean class="hi2">aan>ns love is not lost. It's just hidden.
Its our job to revean class="hi2">aan>l an class="hi2">aan>nd open up to an class="hi2">aan>nd an class="hi2">aan>ccept an class="hi2">aan>nd reclan class="hi2">aan>im our inheritan class="hi2">aan>nce.
