Lord of my life. Thank you
for this thing and Lord of my love.

00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:37.920

00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:15.719
life, your mention into live,

Father, into your hands, Father, into your hand of my life.

6
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:47.760
Thank you for this day and the
Lord of my life. Thank you for

00:01:48.799 --> 00:02:00.480
your ways, all that I have. I am in you, all that

00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:15.360
I say and that I do.

00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:25.240
and gentle hands. I want to
cross all over. I want to cross

10
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:53.280
all over. I want to cross
over to your primness, to your PRIs,

11
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:17.560
farther to your hands, far to
your hands, guide me with your

12
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:29.879
light, your warm and gentle hand. I want to cross all I want

13
00:03:29.960 --> 00:05:01.240
to cross. I want to cross
to your stand stand. Good morning everyone,

14
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:09.759
Hello Rossio. Hi, welcome everyone, Welcome Rossio. I haven't seen

15
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.399
a Racio for quite a while.
I'm so glad you're here. Thank you

16
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:17.439
all for tuning in this morning.
And I know that one hundred percent of

17
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:25.160
your expecting Dave van this morning.
And as you know, we are interchangeable.

18
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.560
We go by many different names and
many different guises, but there really

19
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:34.160
is only one of us, and
no matter the form that we take,

20
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:40.920
we really are speaking with one voice
and expressing one message because there is only

21
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:46.480
one truth. And today's lesson,
as you know, is an extraordinary lesson

22
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:50.000
because it's really the core of the
curriculum, the core of a course and

23
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:57.360
miracles. Let me remember God created
me. Really, at the end of

24
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:01.720
the day, that is the only
thing that you need to remember. And

25
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:09.720
in fact, being in this world
as it were, is really just a

26
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:16.720
manifestation of forgetting that God is your
creator, that God is the soul creator.

27
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:21.680
There is nothing but God. God
is all in all, God is

28
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:28.399
all there is. And as you
are very well aware, it kind of

29
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:33.720
falls down in the concepts in the
words, because when I say the word

30
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:39.560
God, what does that really mean. It's not anything that you can point

31
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:43.439
to and say, oh, well, that is God. It's your entire

32
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:47.879
being, it's your entire life.
And so the whole purpose of our gathering

33
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:56.879
this morning is really to be together
as one in the remembrance of the truth

34
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:01.279
of what we are. And again, when we talk about remembering, it's

35
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:08.240
not really about what we normally do
or let me remember the number of my

36
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:13.519
license plate, or let me remember
the name of somebody I met. It's

37
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:24.480
really a complete replacement of that conceptual
chatter to a whole experience that has nothing

38
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:29.160
to do with this or that.
It's not conceptual at all. And so

39
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:36.600
remembering is really, in a particular
sense, the annihilation of the idea of

40
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:43.920
a separate human entity, of a
separate identity that you have called yourself.

41
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:50.000
It is a dissolving into the light
of what you are now. Clearly the

42
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:57.720
description of it is not what it
is. It is incumbent upon each and

43
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:05.639
every one of us to let go
and let God to disappear into that remembrance.

44
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:11.160
And all we really need to do
is call on him. It's really

45
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:16.839
that simple call on our father.
This is the song that we've just played,

46
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.160
Lord of my life. Thank you
for this day, our Father,

47
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:28.600
who art in heaven. Hallowed be
thy name, Thy Kingdom. Come not

48
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:35.840
my nonsense. I've had enough of
thinking I am a separate entity. I

49
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:41.440
am in need. I am in
dire need of a new experience, a

50
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:48.159
new way of being. I'm in
need of nothing but the truth. Let

51
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:54.320
me remember that God created me.
That is our lesson today. And so

52
00:08:54.440 --> 00:09:00.960
it's your own voice that's calling.
It's you that are remembering. It doesn't

53
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.159
really have to do with a course
of miracles or a set of books.

54
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:09.080
It has to do with that yearning
within your mind, that hearkening to that

55
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:16.279
spark that was put there in your
creation, that light that you truly are.

56
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.759
And so it's a letting go and
letting God, and it comes about

57
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:28.759
in you purely by your own desire. As long as you are seeking something

58
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:35.840
else, you will experience something else. You will think there is something else.

59
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:41.759
And this is what we call sin. And so let's take a look

60
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.919
at what is sin, because the
condition of a human being is a sinful

61
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:54.039
condition. You came in here as
a body identity with the belief that you've

62
00:09:54.080 --> 00:10:00.360
done something wrong, that there is
a stain on your purity. You come

63
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:07.279
in here with the belief that you're
not quite perfect, that there is a

64
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:13.559
gap between you and your creator,
that you have managed somehow by your own

65
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:20.559
craziness, by your own doing,
you have managed to change creation, to

66
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.919
change your own identity. And you
believe that, and that is what you

67
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.799
call life. Well, that's not
life. What is sin? What is

68
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:37.879
that crazy idea? It's insanity.
It's the means by which the mind is

69
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:46.879
driven mad. Think about this for
a second, because it really does seem

70
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:52.879
to you that in a condition of
apparent separation from God, that you can

71
00:10:52.960 --> 00:11:01.360
have reasonable thoughts right and do reasonable
things, that you can choose between right

72
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.559
and wrong and good and bad,
and that there is a difference. Well,

73
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:11.279
the mind is driven mad. There
is no sanity in that at all.

74
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.759
Truth has nothing to do with that
at all. When we talk about

75
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.399
making choices, we're not talking about
making a choice between black and white and

76
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.960
good aboud. It's nothing to do
with that. It's a recognition that none

77
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:33.159
of that is truth. The true
choice has none. It's it's a letting

78
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.600
go of all of it entirely right. So sinners insanity. It's the means

79
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:43.759
by which the mind is driven mad
and seeks to let illusions take the place

80
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:54.600
of truth, and being mad,
it sees illusions where the truth should be.

81
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:01.559
So you think that those choices you're
making are real choices. Should I

82
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.679
come or should I go? Should
I take this job or shouldn't I take

83
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.639
this job? Should I read this
book or shouldn't I read this book?

84
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.600
Should I go to the hospital or
stay home? Which is more holy?

85
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:20.360
This is nonsensical The mind This video
of mind is completely crazy. The choices

86
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.559
mean absolutely nothing. I didn't know
if you guys remember a beautiful brother,

87
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:31.399
incredible teacher of God, Rosie and
Rosie. Anytime you would go to Rosie

88
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.000
with a problem, Oh Rosie,
and this happened, and that happened,

89
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.000
and I didn't know what I should
do, and blah blah blah blah blah,

90
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.720
Rosie would look at you and she
would say, in that beautiful way

91
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.879
that she had you remember this,
Pat you Mber, this Elaine. And

92
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:52.840
she would shake her head and she
will say, dear one, what does

93
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:58.360
that have to do with God?
Wow? Wow? That is a question.

94
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:03.159
Wow, that is a question that
you must always ask. What does

95
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:09.440
that have to do for God?
God is love, God is all there

96
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:15.080
is. God is pure creation,
God is light, God is the essence

97
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:22.240
of beauty itself. God is all
in all. What does your craziness have

98
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:33.080
to do with God? Absolutely nothing? Wow? Wow? Sin Sin gave

99
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:39.279
the body eyes for what is there
the sinless would behold? Think about that?

100
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.000
For instance, what is there that
the sinless would behold? If you

101
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:48.840
are pure and holy and everything and
all light, what is it that you

102
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.679
would be perceiving? What would you
be looking at What would it be that's

103
00:13:54.799 --> 00:14:00.440
not you? What is it that's
not God? See how impos possible?

104
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:07.360
That is absolutely impossible, that there
be something else that is not God,

105
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:15.440
that you be someplace else that is
not everywhere. Sin gave the body eyes

106
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:20.679
for what is there the sinless would
behold? What need have they of sights

107
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:26.120
or sounds or touch? What would
they hear or reach to grasp? What

108
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:33.639
would they sense at all? What
would they see? All of this stuff,

109
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:37.679
all your senses, all you're hearing, and you're thinking, and you're

110
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:43.559
seeing and you're talking. This all
is based on separation. It's predicated on

111
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:50.759
the idea that you are not God. None of that is true. So

112
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:56.759
in a particular sense, you're growing
up, you're maturing, you're waking up.

113
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:05.080
Is really not compromising anymore, is
really calling your mind to order.

114
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:16.320
It's remembering, let me remember that
God created me. In your true remembering,

115
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.559
all the fear is gone, all
the nonsense is gone, and you

116
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:28.399
find yourself in love. You find
yourself in light, You find yourself in

117
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:37.080
God, where you have never left
and could never leave. To sense is

118
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:43.600
not to know, and truth can
be but filled with knowledge and with nothing

119
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:50.960
else. The body is the instrument
the mind made in its effort to deceive

120
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.759
itself. That's what the body is
all about. That wonderful identity that you

121
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:03.720
call you and that you call other
people. The only purpose that they have

122
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:11.320
is to keep you crazy and keep
you deluded, and keep you believing that

123
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:15.919
there is a space between you and
your creator and the space between you and

124
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:21.200
your brother. Oh, and the
course is very very clear on this.

125
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:26.279
If you think that there is a
space between you and your brother, you

126
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:33.440
are what insane? It's that simple. But it's true. That's the thing.

127
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:41.600
It is true, And that's what
you really must begin to contemplate and

128
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:48.879
to see and to know within your
mind that if you think there is a

129
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:56.919
space between you and your creator,
you're nuts. There is no sin.

130
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:02.799
The world I see has nothing to
do with reality. It is of my

131
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:08.640
own making, and it does not
exist. That is true. It's always

132
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:15.960
been true. What's more, it's
true right here and right now, and

133
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:22.640
in your receiving, in your acceptance
of that idea, in your letting that

134
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:33.599
idea be true, something completely different
begins to happen. You begin to experience

135
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:44.000
yourself in a new way, in
a different way, no opposition, You

136
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:53.559
begin to experience yourself in love,
you begin to discover yourself. What is

137
00:17:53.599 --> 00:18:03.200
the lesson know thyself? The body
is the instrument the mind made in its

138
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:10.599
effort to deceive itself. Its purpose
is to strive. Yet can the goal

139
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:17.720
of striving change? And that's why
we're here, That's why we've come together.

140
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:25.720
The goal of striving has changed.
We're not striving to hold on to

141
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:33.720
separate identities. We are here to
remember God. We are here in one

142
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:41.799
purpose and one goal. Right here
and right now, your mind is now

143
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:48.759
unifying, it's coming together as one
within you. You're not listening to a

144
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:57.079
million different voices and checking out a
million different possibilities. There's a unification that's

145
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:04.839
occurring. There is a turn that's
happening, a return to God, to

146
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:14.480
truth. Your goal of striving has
changed. Now those of you who are

147
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:18.640
Jewish or who know anything about the
Judaic tradition, which is really your tradition,

148
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:23.559
will know that in a couple of
days here we'll be celebrating one of

149
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:29.960
the biggest holidays of the Jewish calendar, and it's called Yom Kipper. It's

150
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.640
the day of Atonement. So between
the new year Rasashana, which we just

151
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:38.519
celebrated a few days ago and the
day of Atonement and Yom Kipper, we

152
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:45.160
have ten days of to Shuva,
of the return. It's ten days of

153
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:52.759
forgiveness, of letting go, of
coming home to Shuva. This whole process

154
00:19:52.839 --> 00:20:00.559
now before Yom Kipper on Wednesday,
it's literally the process as of coming home.

155
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:07.759
It's a process of letting go and
letting God, of making amends,

156
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:12.480
of asking for forgiveness. Now,
it's not about your grievances. It's about

157
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:18.559
the recognition that we are want There
is no gap between us, There is

158
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:23.039
no sin. Isn't this a lesson
we did yesterday? Claire taught this yesterday.

159
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:27.559
Let me remember that there is no
sin. That's what this is about.

160
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:33.599
That's why we are here. Now. The body serves a different aim

161
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:38.920
for striving. What it seeks for
now is chosen by the aim the mind

162
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:45.880
has taken as replacement for the goal
of self deception. We have a new

163
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:49.960
aim, a new purpose, a
new goal. Truth can be its aim

164
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:57.599
as well as lies. The senses
then will seek instead for witnesses to what

165
00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:02.319
is true. I'm not going to
dwell on the word aim, because I

166
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:06.200
know that Claire has taught this over
and over again, that sin in the

167
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:10.799
Aramaic is kata, which is an
archery term, being off the mark.

168
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:17.880
And so now you are realigned.
Your aim now is truth, Your aim

169
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:23.400
now is God. And because there
is really no separation between cause and effect,

170
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:29.319
all that truth was really waiting for
always you. So it's not like

171
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.359
anything is going to happen. It
is now that you are beginning to realize

172
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:41.039
that you are whole and perfect as
God created you. It's the realignment of

173
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:45.599
you. It's the coming whole of
your own mind. Let me remember God

174
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:49.920
created me. Let me remember there
is no sin. And so now it's

175
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:56.480
really letting the light of God,
the Word of God, replace you entirely.

176
00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:03.920
Wow, you can. Sin is
the home of all illusions, which

177
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:08.319
but stand for things imagined, issuing
from thoughts that are untrue. They are

178
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:15.039
the proof quote unquote that what has
no reality is real. Sin proves quote

179
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:21.480
unquote that God's son is evil.
Timelessness must have an end, eternal life

180
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:25.720
must die, and God himself has
lost the sun. He loves with but

181
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:32.880
corruption to complete himself his will forever
overcome by death, love, slain by

182
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:37.400
hate, and peace, to be
no more that's the condition in which you

183
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:44.160
have attempted to exist. But you're
recognizing now, is that this is crazy.

184
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:48.559
Yeah. I mean, look around
you at what you call the world.

185
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:53.880
Look at what's going on, whether
it's storms and hurricanes or murders and

186
00:22:55.200 --> 00:23:03.359
mayhem or cancer. It's just there
is no peace possible in that perception.

187
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:11.519
There is no way, if sin
is real, that you're ever going to

188
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:15.599
be able to come home. How
are you going to solve Look at the

189
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:19.160
world. How are you going to
solve these problems? It's impossible. But

190
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:25.279
what you're recognizing, is it that
is a way of seeing. It's not

191
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:30.880
true, there is nothing out there. It's a state of mind. You're

192
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:37.319
beginning to recognize that your mind is
not locked up inside your head, that

193
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.920
your mind is all of it.
Everything is an idea. It's all an

194
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:48.720
idea right here and right now.
You have an idea of size, an

195
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:53.640
idea of many, an idea of
fragmentation, an idea of universes and universes.

196
00:23:53.880 --> 00:24:00.519
But it's all just one crazy,
mad idea, not many different things.

197
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:10.480
There aren't ten thousand things. So
all that is really asked of you

198
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:17.559
and offered to you is your awakening, is your remembering, because in your

199
00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:23.119
remembering is your escape, right here
and right now from all of that.

200
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:30.599
It cannot touch you, it can
touch you not, it's just your own

201
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:37.640
craziness. Isn't that great? And
the word of God replaces all of that?

202
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:45.920
Wow. A madman's dreams are frightening, and sin appears indeed to terrify.

203
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:56.359
And yet what sin perceives is but
a childish game the Son of God

204
00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:00.920
may play. He has become a
body pray to evil and to with but

205
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:07.160
a little life that ends in death. But all the while, all that

206
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:18.960
time, right here, right now, continuing completely unabated, his father shines

207
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:29.079
on him. That's true. Now
your father is shining on you. Wow,

208
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:38.680
Yeah, let him shine. All
the while his father shines on him

209
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:47.319
and loves him with an everlasting love
which his pretenses cannot change at all.

210
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:53.119
Right here and right now, the
love, the light, the being,

211
00:25:53.400 --> 00:26:03.759
the peace of God is completely unaffected
by your crazy idea. And so when

212
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:10.480
we speak about letting go and letting
god, we're not speaking of you know,

213
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:14.599
oh, is it this or that? Were really are speaking of a

214
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:22.880
release of this and that, And
in that release you begin to discover yourself.

215
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:27.279
You begin to discover the peace,
the love, the light that is

216
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:33.920
in you right here and right now, that has always been there. Wow?

217
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:40.839
How long, o Son of God, will you maintain the game of

218
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:48.759
sin? Shall we not put away
these sharp edged children's toys? How soon

219
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:56.440
will you be ready to come home? Perhaps today? Perhaps now there is

220
00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:06.839
no sin? Wow, creation is
unchanged. It's not awesome. Would you

221
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:12.119
still hold return to heaven back?
How long? Oh, Holy Son of

222
00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:18.799
God? How long? There isn't
anything that you have to do? So

223
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:21.599
you keep struggling? Oh? Did
I get it right? To my good?

224
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:23.799
Wow? What's the experience? Am
I having the right experience? Is

225
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:30.240
it happening to me? It cannot
not happen to you. God is here,

226
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:36.440
God is now. Your craziness has
not changed anything. Let him be.

227
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:45.640
Let me remember God created me.
I mean do nothing. It's okay.

228
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:51.039
I haven't sinned. God does not
judge. He loves me with an

229
00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:59.240
everlasting love. Be okay with God. Be okay that God is here,

230
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:03.640
That God this now, come out, Come out from wherever you're hiding.

231
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:11.119
Let him see you. Open your
mind to him. It doesn't matter what

232
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:15.240
you think you've done. It has
no meaning. He doesn't see it.

233
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:23.319
Doesn't understand words, doesn't know anything
about this. Isn't that great? Wow?

234
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:32.599
Thank you father? Wow? Oh
my god, thank you wow,

235
00:28:32.839 --> 00:29:08.079
thank you father. M m m
m. I will be still an instant

236
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:38.440
and go home. I will be
still an instant and go home. My

237
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:52.240
kingdom is not of this world.
This is not where I belong. I

238
00:29:52.279 --> 00:31:11.240
will be still an instant and go
I will be still and inst and go

239
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:34.880
home. I will be still and
instan and go home. My kingdom is

240
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:45.319
not of this world. This is
not where I be long. I will

241
00:31:45.400 --> 00:32:01.359
be still and inst I will be
still and inst I will be still and

242
00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:37.799
instant and go. Oh wow,
thank you Doug for that beautiful, beautiful

243
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:40.880
song. And as you know,
we don't just play these songs, you

244
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:44.720
know, so we can play a
song. I'm not a DJ here.

245
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:54.519
These songs apart obviously of everything that
we're doing, and Doug is expressing perfectly

246
00:32:55.519 --> 00:33:01.960
the action of our mind and that
song of being still, finding that stillness

247
00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:09.480
within the mind, finding that place
where peace and joy and love and light

248
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:17.279
abide, finding home. I don't
have to do anything. I simply have

249
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:22.799
to remember that God created me,
that God is here, that God is

250
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:28.799
now, and in case you're wondering. That is from lesson one eighty two

251
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:34.440
of the Workbook of a Course in
Miracles. I will be still an instant

252
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:40.079
and go home. And it's this
instant. Which instant, it's this instant

253
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:49.119
to any instant, because all of
time is really an instant. And so

254
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:53.200
what is your job? What is
your what is your purpose? What is

255
00:33:53.279 --> 00:34:00.480
your function in this world? Is
to be still an instant and go home.

256
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:08.440
You have nothing else to do but
that exact It doesn't require you to

257
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:14.199
be to place your body in a
particular place, or in a particular position,

258
00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:23.159
or anything. It is simply your
remembrance of God and letting his strength

259
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:32.119
take the place of your weakness,
letting his light illuminate the darkness within which

260
00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:39.840
you define yourself. I will be
still an instant and go home. And

261
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:47.639
so what you will find is that
today's lesson is exactly that. It's a

262
00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:51.679
prayer. You know, of course, that we are now in the second

263
00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:55.559
part of the Workbook of a Course
of Miracles, where it's not so much

264
00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:59.159
about do this, do this,
do this, do this, do the

265
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:04.519
next thing. It's really about being
still an instant and going home. And

266
00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:08.239
that's what we're doing. In this
second half of the workbook, it's being

267
00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:15.679
with God. It's prayer, it's
communion, it's opening your mind. It's

268
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:22.280
letting all the nonsense just fall away, regardless of whatever it is or how

269
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:27.679
serious it seems to be. It's
just letting it all go and being still

270
00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:35.960
an instant and going home. And
there is no other way but through your

271
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:42.639
own experience. You can't read about
it, you can't hear about it.

272
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:51.440
It is literally in your letting go, in your willingness to experience the truth

273
00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:58.719
of you, in your willingness to
really answer that yearning within your heart,

274
00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:06.039
in your willingness to come to terms
with the fact that you are an alien

275
00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:10.440
here. This is not your home. I think it was a Jim Reeves

276
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:15.280
that sang a country song, and
I heard this when I was about four

277
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:21.440
or five or six years old.
I was in Darkest Africa at the time,

278
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:25.199
and they used to they had this
song this this book called the Records

279
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:30.559
Songbook, where somebody would transcribe all
the songs that we would hear on the

280
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:36.920
radio, and it went like this, this world is not my home.

281
00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:45.519
I'm just passing through the it.
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the

282
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:52.440
blue. The angels beckon me from
Heaven's open door, and I can't feel

283
00:36:52.480 --> 00:37:00.360
at home in this world anymore.
And they s I remember it from when

284
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:07.119
I was five years old. It's
extraordinary song. And that's the truth.

285
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:12.920
This world is not your home.
This condition of insanity is not where you

286
00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:20.199
belong. So it's remembering that and
letting it go. You can't do anything

287
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:27.119
with it because it isn't anything,
and you're not anything in an attempt to

288
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:32.000
do something with it. Your reality
is part of God, it's part of

289
00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:39.079
what life is. And so your
job is to remember that. Your job

290
00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:45.440
is to be still an instant and
go home. Your job is to be

291
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:52.119
with God right here and right now. Let God be your father. Let

292
00:37:52.199 --> 00:38:00.000
him be with you here now.
He wants to hear you all him.

293
00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:07.480
Friend. There's nothing to fear.
He doesn't judge you, he doesn't condemn

294
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:12.320
you. He is all of love, He is all of beauty, he

295
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:16.559
is all of light. He is
what beauty is, he is what kindness

296
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:28.719
is, he is what love is. Let him be. Let me remember

297
00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:38.000
God created me. Father, This
is you. This is coming from your

298
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:45.800
heart, from your mind. Father. I did not make myself, although

299
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:55.079
in my insanity I thought I did. Yet as your thought, I have

300
00:38:55.239 --> 00:39:05.400
not left my source, remaining part
of who created me. Your son,

301
00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:21.199
my father calls on you today,
a calling on God here now he's nearer

302
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:28.840
than your heart to you. He
cannot not answer because he has already answered.

303
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:37.440
He created you. Wow, your
son, my Father calls on you

304
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:46.480
today. Let me remember you created
me. Let me remember my identity,

305
00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:54.960
and let my sinlessness arise again before
Christ's vision through which I look upon all

306
00:39:55.199 --> 00:40:07.199
my brothers and myself today. So
today you experience everything in the light of

307
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:14.639
your mind. Your mind has no
beginning, no end. The light has

308
00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:20.199
no beginning, no end. It's
what you are always. It's one.

309
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:25.280
There is no space between us,
there is no gap between us. We

310
00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:36.119
are one. We are oneself,
united with our creator right here, right

311
00:40:36.159 --> 00:40:45.719
now. We're always always the case. You can depend on that. Wow.

312
00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:55.639
Be with God here now now is
our source remembered, and therein we

313
00:40:55.760 --> 00:41:06.119
find our true identity. At last, Holy indeed are we because our Source

314
00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:15.480
can know no sin, and we
who are His sons, alike each other

315
00:41:15.760 --> 00:42:22.519
and alike to him. Wow,
m God, my father, into your

316
00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:38.400
hands, I commend my soul I
commend my soul, God my Father,

317
00:42:42.639 --> 00:43:02.400
that is all I need to know, on a table well prepared the holy

318
00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:16.719
gift of Grace's Lady. Lighted by
this gift, hate and fear are gone.

319
00:43:19.960 --> 00:43:31.039
The world has never been at all. Into the endless present, hast

320
00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:46.159
all thought of time, de turnity
remains beyond salvation, and the Holy face

321
00:43:46.400 --> 00:44:09.440
of crist Eternity remains God my Father. Into thy hands, I commend my

322
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:30.000
soul, God my Father, that
is all like to know. We say

323
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:44.960
God, he we cease to speak, for words have lost all. We

324
00:44:45.119 --> 00:45:00.639
say, God, cease to speak. There are no lips to speak them.

325
00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:15.400
Into the endness present, passed off
thought of time, Eternity remains beyond

326
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:38.880
salvation, and the Holy face of
crist Eternity remains God my Father. Into

327
00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:58.760
thy hands. I command my soul. I command my soul, God my

328
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:22.880
fall. That is all life,
that is all liey, that is all

329
00:46:23.119 --> 00:47:01.679
liey, no amazing song. So
let me remember D created me. Here's

330
00:47:01.719 --> 00:47:08.800
our prayer for this day. Father. I did not make myself, although

331
00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:15.840
in my insanity I thought I did. Yet as your thought, I have

332
00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:22.840
not left my source, remaining part
of who created me, Your son,

333
00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:28.679
my Father, calls on you today. Let me remember you created me.

334
00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:37.039
Let me remember my identity, and
let my sinlessness arise again before Christ's vision

335
00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:44.079
through which I would look upon my
brothers and myself to day. Now is

336
00:47:44.119 --> 00:47:49.800
our source remembered, and therein we
find our true identity. At last,

337
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:57.800
holy indeed are we because our Source
can know no sin, and we who

338
00:47:57.840 --> 00:48:05.920
are His sons, are like each
other and alike to him. So on

339
00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:10.760
that note, we're going to bring
the podcast to a close. But this

340
00:48:10.840 --> 00:48:17.519
is really just the beginning of our
practice for the day. We will join

experience of the remembrance of our Father,

heaven live in the Miracle Sealing Center.

all through the day, that God

353
00:49:42.599 --> 00:49:46.360
goes with you wherever you go,
and that God is the mind with which

354
00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:54.840
you think. God bless us everyone,
