00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:19.920
Good morning, Welcome, welcome to
the daily listen of a course in Miracles.

2
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:31.600
Thank you for thank you for being
here for a moment with me,

3
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:47.159
to to take some time to spend
with our father, take a moment in

4
00:00:47.240 --> 00:01:00.640
our busy life to slow down in
order to speed up. And today we're

5
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:11.719
at day seventy one, and that
means that we're gonna look at the idea

6
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:25.000
of God's plan for salvation. And
uh, it is a a direct it's

7
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:30.760
a direct what do you call that? It's directly in line with a lessoned

8
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:36.120
from yesterday where we were looking at
my salvation comes from me, and the

9
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:41.079
idea of my salvation comes from me? Might be uh, one of those

10
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:47.560
ideas that you immediately pet yourself on
the back, gives give the ego that

11
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:55.040
what we call I all the credits
for uh, whatever is happening. But

12
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.920
what it basically does, and we
were looked at that yesterday too, is

13
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:07.680
isolation comes from me. Is a
direct acknowledgment that I have to make a

14
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:17.039
choice and that choice is solely in
my hands and that I will always in

15
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:29.080
every situation receive what I have given
the situation. And yesterday we had a

16
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:35.039
quick look at the idea of fear
and how to undo fear. And what

17
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:46.280
became painfully clear was that it is
up to me what I associate with and

18
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:51.719
what I think that I'm part of, and that uh we were we were

19
00:02:51.759 --> 00:03:00.360
just quickly looking at an idea of
ingesting or like taking to me the idea

20
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:06.840
of pain and suffering a through the
things that I was watching, the movies,

21
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:13.080
I was watching the idea of the
people I was associating with, the

22
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:19.560
the pain and suffering that I would
dwell in the moment I was holding on

23
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:27.360
to grievances. And this is not
really a course in uh how to actually

24
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:34.479
uh uh treat your life or how
to I should say that differently, how

25
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:40.919
to fill in your life by dos
and don'ts, Because what is very clear

26
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:46.360
in the beginning of the course is
that the the reason why we do a

27
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:53.240
course in miracles, uh is the
motivation for it lies in the experience of

28
00:03:53.439 --> 00:04:08.280
peace, and there is no other
motivation. And what I find one of

29
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:15.439
the things that we really have to
be careful with is to regard one thing

30
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:25.839
as completely justified based on a reasoning
that by the way I made up,

31
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:35.199
and something else is regarded as completely
unreasonable. And undesirable, but also based

32
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:42.920
on my own justifications for it.
Because whatever we see here in this world

33
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:51.560
we either agree or disagree with based
on our own past memories and future wants,

34
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:57.199
the things the outcomes that we want
in the future that we think are

35
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:06.680
appropriate. But today we're gonna look
at God's plan for salvation, and in

36
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:15.360
that plan of salvation it's got,
it will become very clear that it is

37
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.560
not really up to me, but
it is up to God if I let

38
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:28.319
him, and that there is only
one thing required of me, and it

39
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:39.600
is to come with holy empty hands
and be open for the help to come

40
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:47.160
to me in whatever form, without
judging if that form is appropriate or not.

41
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:59.480
And I really wanna associate with love. I want I as Jesus says

42
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:04.920
it in the Court Miracles, you
think what you are by the things that

43
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:13.040
you that you surround yourself with.
And because I know that pain and fear

44
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:27.720
do not really help me think positively
or feel happy or joyful or even peaceful,

45
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:38.079
those are the things I don't surround
myself with anymore. Does that mean

46
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.360
you have to change your diet?
I have no idea, don't ask me.

47
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:57.480
I just know for myself that pain
and suffering are in direct opposite to

48
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:03.519
the love and the peace of God, and that is what I want to

49
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:12.680
associate with. So coming back to
the decision of yesterday, that my salvation

50
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:16.120
comes from me. In other words, the answer to every single problem that

51
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:26.319
I perceive is always coming from within, not made by my own by my

52
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:32.399
own ideas. But listen, but
the willingness to listen within me to the

53
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:41.560
answer. So only God's plan for
salvation will work. You may not realize

54
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:47.319
that the ego has set up a
plan for salvation in opposition to God's.

55
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:54.399
So again, you might not realize
that that little voice within you that we

56
00:07:54.519 --> 00:08:01.879
call I, that we call ego, that we that we almost want to

57
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:09.600
call something that we cannot do anything
about. I am I right. I

58
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.959
have to live, right, I
have to survive here. I need to

59
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.680
go to my job in order to
make money, in order to pay my

60
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:26.959
bills and to feed my children.
I don't know. I don't know.

61
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.879
What I do know is that I
don't want to make any decisions as yet.

62
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.960
Let me see what God wants from
me. Let me see what his

63
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:46.360
plan is. Instead of the plan
of knowing the right people having a bank

64
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:54.080
accounts that you can impress your friends
with. But it goes on. It

65
00:08:54.120 --> 00:09:01.200
says, it is this plan in
which you believe, I'm sustained by the

66
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:11.279
world and I'm sustained by the idea
that the ego is telling me. And

67
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:15.080
we're gonna read I hope in a
minute, a little bit out of chapter

68
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:30.440
fifteen, where where it has become
clear that the ego is using time to

69
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:39.639
prove destruction and with that telling me
that I am also bound by destruction.

70
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:50.480
So that's the plan that the ego
is offering destruction and search. We're gonna

71
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:56.679
read that in the second search,
but do not find. If you would

72
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:00.159
find it, that would mean the
end of the ego, and that that

73
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:05.919
would mean like self destructive, and
that's of course not possible. The ego,

74
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:11.120
the eye always wants to be important, and how can it be important

75
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:18.519
if it's no longer needed. And
that's something that we really have to look

76
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:26.480
at. That's why the poll is
so strong for change, the pool,

77
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:33.000
to not the pool, to not
choose for change, to keep everything the

78
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:43.399
same and keep the search going.
Try to find love outside of me,

79
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:54.000
Try to find love in another partner, Try to find love in another form.

80
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.039
It is the plan in which you
believe, since it is the opposite

81
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:05.279
of gods of God God, you
also believe that to accept God's plan in

82
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:18.480
place of the ego, it's to
be damned. It's one thirty eighth,

83
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:26.600
sir. I think so. Yes, he got a little interrupted by someone

84
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:37.240
that was walking in, not knowing
for what reason, but thinking that he

85
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:45.600
was looking for something and he did. Okay, since it is the opposite

86
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.399
of God's since the Egos plan,
it is the opposite of God's plan.

87
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:56.759
You also believe that to accept God's
plan in place of the ego, in

88
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:03.720
place of the Egos plan is to
be damned, because that what you associate

89
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:15.759
with you will cherish and you will
justify any type of form of ridiculous reasoning

90
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:22.919
to hold on to that plan until
and that's when the motivation really comes in,

91
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:35.120
until you start to see that that
plan is designed to never reach the

92
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:46.240
truth and to never reach love,
forgiveness, peace oneness. It is set

93
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:58.159
up to fail. This sounds purpor
perposterous, of course, Yet after we

94
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:05.159
have con shouldn't just what the egos
plan is, perhaps you will realize that,

95
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:11.440
however preposterous it may be, you
do believe in it, and that's

96
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:20.960
where the real honesty, of course, every single day comes in. And

97
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:26.720
the great thing is is that it
is, thank God, only in my

98
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:37.919
hands. So before we have to
embarrass ourselves in front of family or friends,

99
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:45.159
we can just pull back, close
the door, go in our closet,

100
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:52.080
go in our bedroom, and at
least, if anything else, at

101
00:13:52.279 --> 00:14:01.679
least be honest to ourselves and simply
look at it. That's the same as

102
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.679
yesterday, and we're gonna do it
today again. Is like walking through that

103
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:16.000
cloud. On the outside, it
looks solid and unpenetrable, but when you

104
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:22.080
walk through it, you see that
all your grievances and all the negativity and

105
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:33.919
all the things that this life seem
to hold you back simply are like a

106
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:43.679
loose veil that you can just push
through and walk into the light. You

107
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:58.279
look up and you are blessed,
but the everlasting light. The egos plan

108
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:05.480
for salvation centers er around holding grievances, and it doesn't really matter in what

109
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:13.759
kind of form. It can show
up as gossip, it can show up

110
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:31.519
as it can show up as protective
measurements to protect your view, to protect

111
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:39.679
your standpoint, to protect your reasoning. But it doesn't really matter how the

112
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:50.759
grievance shows up. It is merely
by the fact of seeing grievances that the

113
00:15:50.840 --> 00:16:00.200
ego dwells in that I what I
call I dwell in. And if you

114
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:07.919
look back at whatever conversation you had
in the past days, weeks, months,

115
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:26.080
you will see that a lot of
those conversations might be completely absorbed by

116
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:33.600
the idea of holding agreements. Someone
tells me I cannot do this or cannot

117
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:44.639
do that. I don't like them, And that's a great thing about just

118
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:49.960
going into your closet, be in
your own space, in your bedroom for

119
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:59.000
a second, and to just really
look at what you're doing in your own

120
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:11.160
mind, not so much because it
is painful for someone else, but to

121
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:17.720
truly look at your own ideas and
see, is this really what I want?

122
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:29.039
The ego's plan for salvation centers around
holding grievances. It maintains that if

123
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:37.960
someone else spoke or acted differently,
if some external circumstances or event were changed,

124
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:52.920
you would be saved. In other
words, my biggest grievance is that

125
00:17:53.000 --> 00:18:00.119
you walked into the room not with
a smile on your face. Ys,

126
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:14.759
and therefore I am unhappy if you
would only smile to me, I would

127
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:23.400
be happy. But of course,
if you would walk in smiling, then

128
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:30.400
that I would say. If you
only matched your shirt with your trousers,

129
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:38.599
I don't like the color combination,
and it distracts me from focusing on the

130
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:47.359
lesson of today. If only you
had metched that in the morning, I

131
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:53.519
would be happy. And the funny
thing is that we most of the time

132
00:18:55.880 --> 00:19:04.240
don't really think things through. We
just spurt them out. I don't like

133
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:14.480
this, I don't like that,
And what we're basically saying is that's wrong.

134
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:26.000
That's wrong. Meaning if it will
be different, I would be happy.

135
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:32.480
And maybe that's helpful. Maybe you
should do that. Maybe with every

136
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:37.559
single thing that you're saying that it's
negative, you should add if it would

137
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.680
be different, I would be happy. Maybe that will trigger something in my

138
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:52.279
mind to realize that it cannot be
out there, because if that was the

139
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:59.799
truth, I would be damned forever. I would always I would always have

140
00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:06.319
to wait for you, and if
you wouldn't see me or forget me,

141
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:18.640
I would be damned forever. Thus, the source of salvation is constantly perceived

142
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:38.680
as outside yourself. The source of
salvation is constantly perceived as outside yourself as

143
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:45.079
what we were looking at yesterday.
The source of my grievances is constantly put

144
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:53.680
outside of myself. Each grievance you
hold is a declaration and an assertion in

145
00:20:53.759 --> 00:21:03.160
which you believe that says, if
this were different, I would be saved.

146
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.480
And that's the whole thing. It
is an assertion, it is a

147
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:17.119
declaration, It is an It is
something that I make very solid in my

148
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:22.680
mind, and today only God's plan
for salvation will work. WILL try to

149
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:30.680
weaken that a little, to s
to make that soltness perceived. That's uh

150
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.519
what it really Isn't that? You
know? We can easily walk through this

151
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:45.160
cloud that might surround us for a
second and it looks evy, it looks

152
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:52.440
like it's everywhere, but that we
can easily just walk through into the light.

153
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:03.319
The change of mind necessary for salvation
is thus demanded of everyone and everything

154
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:11.359
except yourself. And if you really
look at any kind of struggle in your

155
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:19.880
life, the biggest struggle is that
I cannot change you, and I cannot

156
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:26.279
live with that. I try to
do everything. I try to give you

157
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:36.759
advice, friendly friendly advice. I
tell you how you could do it differently.

158
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.160
I can slam my fist on the
table and say you should do this,

159
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:59.680
but you hardly change. So maybe, and we're only looking at the

160
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:07.200
idea year there's nothing else asked of
us, Maybe we should break that in.

161
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:11.359
Maybe we should pull that idea in, bring it closer to home,

162
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:23.119
and realize that if we would change
our minds, if I would change my

163
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:37.319
mind, I might be a little
bit more successful. The role assigned to

164
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:48.960
your own mind in this plan.
The role assigned to your own mind in

165
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:56.759
this plan, then, is simply
to determine what other than itself must change

166
00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:07.039
if you are to be saved according
to this insane plan. And any perceived

167
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:18.759
source of salvation is acceptable provided that
it will not work. And that's a

168
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:23.759
that that might well be a tough
one. That everything that we throw out

169
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:34.039
there that we actually don't want to
work, And that is for our love

170
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:41.279
of being right, our love for
holding on to her grievance, that we

171
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:48.480
can chew on and tell everyone around
us like how pitiful we are and look

172
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:56.799
at me being a victim here.
But what we're actually asking for is someone

173
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:03.720
that put an arm around us for
no reason whatsoever, because basically, what

174
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:15.119
you're always missing is that love,
that love that I that I really that

175
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:22.119
I really want, the joining that
I really want, and we seek it

176
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:29.200
out there while it is actually only
within us that is what will really satisfy

177
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:36.319
me. All the other things will
come and go, to come again and

178
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:44.400
to go again. But here's the
thing. This is what the ego,

179
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:49.680
that's what we call the eye brings. This ensures that the fruitless search,

180
00:25:52.000 --> 00:26:00.799
the fruitless search, will continue,
for the illusion persists that although this hope

181
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:07.839
has always failed, there are still
grounds for hope in other places and in

182
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:17.839
other things. And thank God for
those eight billion people, because I shaked

183
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:26.359
with thousands of people hands and I
still have billions to go, and hopefully

184
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:34.440
one of them will bring me salvation. But you see that the problem is

185
00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:45.400
always bigger. Then I can oversee
what actually is very good reasoning to say

186
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:51.680
that let's not do my plan but
God's plan, because I cannot oversee it.

187
00:26:55.720 --> 00:27:00.039
Another person will yet serve better,
another situation will yet offer success.

188
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:10.000
Such is the ego's plan for salvation. Surely, surely you can see how

189
00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:18.920
it is strict accord with the ego's
basic doctrine, seek but do not find,

190
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:26.799
for what could more surely guarantee that
you will not find salvation than to

191
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:38.359
channelize all your efforts in searching for
it. Were not seeking a solution where

192
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:47.319
it is not. But here's the
other side. Only God's plan for salvation

193
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:55.039
will work. God's plan for salvation
works simply because by following his direction,

194
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:02.160
you seek for salvation where it is. And you don't have to agree with

195
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:07.799
that. Again, the only thing
that we're looking at now is a little

196
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:19.720
bit, tiny, tiny bit of
willingness to open your mind for a new

197
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:26.279
idea. I mean, like we
have constantly tried to do my plan with

198
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:38.599
constantly the same results, with the
consistency of pain and suffering, constantly falling

199
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:49.480
out of peace. Let's see what
happens. Let's look at God's plan for

200
00:28:49.559 --> 00:29:00.680
salvation. But if you are to
succeed as God promise you, you must

201
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:08.240
be willing to seek there only.
If you are to succeed as God promises

202
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:15.720
you, you must be willing to
seek their only. Otherwise your purpose is

203
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:23.000
divided, and you will attempt to
follow two plans for salvation that are diametrically

204
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:33.559
opposed in all ways. And that's
what we call put all your eggs in

205
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:42.200
one basket. You cannot serve God
and Mammon. You have to choose one

206
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:51.839
or the other. But the promise
from God is God says, choose for

207
00:29:52.000 --> 00:30:02.400
me, and everything else will be
added onto it. You will not lack

208
00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:10.359
a single thing. And that's where
a little bit of trust goes a long

209
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:22.720
way. You cannot choose two things
at the same time. The result can

210
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:29.519
only bring confusion, misery, and
a deep sense of failure and despair.

211
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:41.599
So how can we escape all this? Only God's plan for salvation will work.

212
00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:49.200
Very simply, the idea for today
is the answer. Only God's plan

213
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:59.799
for salvation will work. There can
be no real conflict about this because there

214
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:07.960
is no possible alternative to God's plan
that will save you. And that is

215
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:15.319
true because it doesn't really matter what
I tried. The eternal The idea of

216
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:30.720
eternal life felt always very scary.
But if life is the only true thing,

217
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.480
I have to change my mind about
it. And the only way to

218
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:48.480
change my mind about it is to
not try the same tricks that I did

219
00:31:48.559 --> 00:32:00.920
before, but to let go of
all the ideas that I had and try

220
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:12.559
a different plan this time. His
is the only plan that is certain in

221
00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:22.640
its outcome. His is the only
plan that must succeed. Let us practice

222
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:34.960
recognizing this certainty to day, A
happy outcome is certain to all things.

223
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:44.359
That is the real hope. And
that is also where we bring the idea

224
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:52.640
from yesterday and to day back into
the present moment. Is that grievances always

225
00:32:52.720 --> 00:33:00.519
have to do with something that was
in the past or anticipate it in the

226
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:15.640
future. But what about here and
now. Let's try, just for a

227
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:30.640
moment to lay aside all plans and
let us rejoice that there is an answer

228
00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:44.039
to what seems to be a conflict
with no resolution possible. How can the

229
00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:50.160
how is it possible that the answer
is in the right here and right now.

230
00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:58.279
I remember yesterday. I know what
is going to happen tomorrow based on

231
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:07.680
my expectations. But the only thing
that I can say is that have a

232
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:15.960
little talk with someone that you met
yesterday and ask them what they remember about

233
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:23.519
yesterday. And I can guarantee you
that in line in certain lines in the

234
00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:31.199
red line, it's probably gonna match
up close to your idea of what happened

235
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:45.960
yesterday. But you will also discover
that this person remembers different things than you

236
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:58.480
do, or at the very least
have different opinions about what happened yesterday.

237
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:14.760
So don't look at the past,
don't look at the future. Be in

238
00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:19.760
the right here, right now,
for just this second, let us do

239
00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:24.960
this practice period, and then you're
free to do whatever you want, whatever

240
00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:34.559
whatever brings you peace. But be
a little bit willing to open this up

241
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:49.360
for something completely different, because all
things are possible to God, and salvation

242
00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:53.159
must be yours because of His plan
which cannot fail. And that is a

243
00:35:53.199 --> 00:36:05.119
promise that does not require any time. So I'll begin the two longer practice

244
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:13.599
periods today by thinking about today's idea. Only God's plan for salvation will work,

245
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:22.519
and realize that it contains two parts, each making equal contribution to the

246
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:34.000
whole. God's plan for salvation will
work. God's plan for your salvation will

247
00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:40.880
work, and other plans will not. Do not allow yourself to become depressed

248
00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:47.719
or angry at the second part the
idea that my plan or the egos plan,

249
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:55.000
or however you wanna try to claim
what it is that that will not

250
00:36:55.119 --> 00:37:01.360
work. But I put all this
effort in my plan, and now that

251
00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:17.639
was all in vain, Well,
who cares? It's all in the past,

252
00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:23.360
And I was just sole in my
opinion about things that would work or

253
00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:39.360
wouldn't work, And the least helpful
thing is having an opinion about the past.

254
00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:47.840
God's plan for salvation will work and
other plans will not. Do not

255
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:53.079
allow yourself to become depressed or angry
at the second part. It is inherent

256
00:37:53.840 --> 00:38:00.639
in the first my plan will not
work. God's plan will. And in

257
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:07.840
the first only God's plan for salvation
will work. Is your full release from

258
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:15.599
all your own insane attempts and mad
proposals to free yourself. I don't have

259
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:22.320
to come up with the solution myself
anymore. They have led to depression and

260
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:36.320
anger. But God's plan will succeed. It will lead to release enjoy.

261
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:40.519
Remembering this, let us devote the
reminder of the extended practice period to asking

262
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:59.239
God to rer reveal his plan to
us. So I'm gonna I'm gonna play

263
00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:08.840
a little song, and in the
first part of our exercise we really gonna

264
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:16.639
look at only God's plan for salvation
will work and the release and enjoy and

265
00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:25.159
burden on my shoulder that is lifted
up. We gonna be in that experience.

266
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:43.320
And then we were gonna ask some
questions. But first let's take a

267
00:39:43.360 --> 00:40:12.039
few seconds to think about God's plan
for salvation. Sweet New raisday fo ride

268
00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:30.519
new Sunder's rude in my safe my
plan I will lay aside for a second.

269
00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:43.239
Only God's plan for salvation you have
will work can be called But you

270
00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:59.440
were lways. So now we're released
from fast and future ideas and are in

271
00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:13.480
the right here and right now.
Now we can ask honest questions because we

272
00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:17.679
have no idea where we came from, no idea where we're going to.

273
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:31.480
We're right here and right now,
and I'm gonna ask very specifically, Father,

274
00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:46.360
God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, speak to me now, what

275
00:41:46.519 --> 00:42:04.199
would you have me do? Where
would you have me go? What wh

276
00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:15.960
what would you have me say into
whom? In my I literally I'm literally

277
00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:25.280
gonna give up in my Savior,
my own ideas. You and let me

278
00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:32.199
lead by the voice within which let
me be guided by the Holy Spirit.

279
00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:45.400
Can I stretch my hand out?
And because the thought is helpful in nice,

280
00:42:47.599 --> 00:43:00.800
I think of Jesus grabbing my hand
and leading me. Sa, Father,

281
00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:07.079
what would you have me do?
Where would you have me go?

282
00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:30.159
What would you have me say into
whom? And don't be afraid that you

283
00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:39.679
cannot hear the answer. I will
guarantee you that the answer is filling your

284
00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:54.280
heart with joy, will fill your
heart with the spirit. God's plan for

285
00:43:54.400 --> 00:44:08.480
salvation will work nice. But let
him answer these questions, and then now

286
00:44:12.159 --> 00:44:16.920
give him full charge of the rest
of the practice period, and let him

287
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:24.880
tell you what needs to be done
by you in his plan for your salvation.

288
00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:38.960
And we're coming back to motivation and
willingness. He will answer in proportion

289
00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:52.480
to your willingness to hear his voice. I am motivated. I'll let all

290
00:44:52.639 --> 00:45:01.199
my own plans go, and I
will listen to his voice, answering the

291
00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:08.039
questions what would you have me do? Where would you have me go?

292
00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:37.719
What would you have me say?
And to whom I am willing to hear

293
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:53.239
his voice? And I refuse not
to hear it. The very fact that

294
00:45:53.320 --> 00:46:00.760
you are doing the exercise now,
where you lay down your own plan and

295
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:12.960
asks for God's plan for salvation,
proves that you have some willingness to listen.

296
00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:32.320
A little bit of willingness goes a
long way. That is enough to

297
00:46:32.519 --> 00:46:45.679
establish your claim to God's answer.
Father, God, what would you have

298
00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:52.360
me do? Where would you have
me go? What would you have me

299
00:46:52.440 --> 00:48:02.719
say into whom only God's plan for
salvation will work. So in the shorter

300
00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:09.800
practice periods today that we're gonna have
many many times. Tell yourself often that

301
00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:20.199
God's plan for salvation and only his
will work. Be alert to all temptation

302
00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:27.199
to hold grievances today. Be alert
to all temptation to hold on to the

303
00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:36.639
past today. Be alert to all
temptation to determine how the future should look

304
00:48:36.760 --> 00:48:49.480
like today, and respond to them
with this form of today's idea. Holding

305
00:48:49.519 --> 00:48:59.920
grievances is the opposite of God's plan
for salvation, and only his plan will

306
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:08.639
work. Try to remember today's idea
some six or seven times an hour.

307
00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:17.679
There could be no better way to
spend half a minute or less to remember

308
00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:31.480
the source of your salvation and to
see it where it is. Holding grievances

309
00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:39.320
is the opposite of God's plan for
salvation, and only his plan will work.

310
00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:50.239
Amen, Thank you so much for
spending a little bit of time here

311
00:49:51.480 --> 00:50:00.239
with us to rejoice in the never
failing ways that Jesus is setting out for

312
00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:13.000
us to call us home, and
that the joy and happiness is my own

313
00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:23.280
and the only requirement. It's a
little bit of willingness to not try to

314
00:50:23.320 --> 00:50:37.599
figure it out myself, but in
every single situation ask for help. Father,

315
00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:51.480
your plan not mine. Let me
be free and joyful and peaceful.

316
00:50:54.719 --> 00:51:02.880
Amen. Thank you so much and
I'm certain, I'm certain that I will

317
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:09.199
see you soon again. Have a
wonderful rest of your day. Amen.

318
00:51:09.400 --> 00:51:25.000
Amen, you have been listening to
voice from Heaven live in the Miracles Healing

319
00:51:25.079 --> 00:51:30.639
Center. Remember that God's voice speaks
to you all through the day. That

320
00:51:30.760 --> 00:51:36.480
God goes with you wherever you go, and that God is the mind with

321
00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:45.239
which you think. God bless us
everyone,
