Speaker 1: Hi, good morning, and this is the lesson of the
Speaker 1: day from the work book of A Course of Miracles.
Speaker 1: And I'm really glad that you're here, obviously, being the
Speaker 1: twenty first of January, we are on the twenty first day,
Speaker 1: which is amazing because well, I could just start reading it,
Speaker 1: but uh F, I do this practice for myself, and
Speaker 1: that is I find it always helpful to, let's say,
Speaker 1: get a perspective as to what I am doing. And
Speaker 1: what I am doing it's obvious, and yet I find
Speaker 1: it beneficial to review these ideas in my mind and
Speaker 1: cause remember we are in a mind training and today's lesson,
Speaker 1: I am Determined to see things differently, of course, is
Speaker 1: a carry on of yesterday's lesson of I am determined
Speaker 1: to see and he talks about I'm just going to
Speaker 1: go back to yesterday's lesson for just a moment and
Speaker 1: highlight a few ideas, all right, So he says here
Speaker 1: that we've been casual about how we've been doing it,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean it's not important. Okay, I know
Speaker 1: we read this all yesterday, but again, for me, it's
Speaker 1: always helpful to get a bigger perspective or remind myself
Speaker 1: why I am doing it because it is as Eric
Speaker 1: was saying on Friday, it's a constant forgetting. It constantly
Speaker 1: escapes my mind because that is the nature of having
Speaker 1: identified myself as separate. All right, So we have not
Speaker 1: lost sight of the crucial importance of the reversal of
Speaker 1: your thinking. It's the reversal of my thinking. So if
Speaker 1: it's the reversal of my thinking, it cannot do it
Speaker 1: cannot have anything to do with the way I am
Speaker 1: thinking in objective reality, or this idea that we are
Speaker 1: apart and discreet and separate from one another. Okay, the
Speaker 1: salvation of the world depends on it. Well, that's a perspective.
Speaker 1: Think about it. Yet you will not see if you
Speaker 1: regard yourself as being coerced and if you give in
Speaker 1: too resentment and opposition. Okay, this idea of being coerced,
Speaker 1: meaning that oh, I'm just going to make myself do
Speaker 1: it because well something tells me I should, rather than
Speaker 1: seeing that I am the complete beneficiary of my practice
Speaker 1: of the performance of the mind training. All right. You
Speaker 1: want salvation, you want to be happy, you want peace.
Speaker 1: You do not have them now because your mind is
Speaker 1: totally undisciplined and you cannot distinguish between joy and sorrow,
Speaker 1: pleasure and pain, love and fear. You are now learning
Speaker 1: how to tell them apart, and great indeed will be
Speaker 1: your reward. All right. So we are in a mind training.
Speaker 1: And there is just one other idea that I want
Speaker 1: to bring into focus before we embark on our practice
Speaker 1: for today. And this is actually was written by the
Speaker 1: master teacher of a course in miracles, and it was
Speaker 1: in our out of time journal from the Endeavor Academy.
Speaker 1: And this is the invitation because we're in a mind training.
Speaker 1: Is a learning process, as a transformative learning process, it's
Speaker 1: the reversal of the way I think now, the way
Speaker 1: of objective thinking. All right. It is important to remember
Speaker 1: that the transformative learning process is not an accumulation or
Speaker 1: exchange of information between teacher and student, all right, So
Speaker 1: it is It is not an accumulation in exchange. That's
Speaker 1: not what we're doing. We're training our minds in a
Speaker 1: whole other way of thinking. I am determined to see
Speaker 1: things differently, okay. And then there's one other idea that
Speaker 1: I want to bring to light here. All true learning
Speaker 1: is a form of conversion or revelation. That's amazing. So
Speaker 1: it's a revelation. It's a revealing is already there all right?
Speaker 1: So today's lesson, I am determined to see things differently.
Speaker 1: The idea for today is obviously a continuation and an
Speaker 1: extension of the preceding one. This time, however, specific mind
Speaker 1: searching periods are necessary in addition to applying the idea
Speaker 1: to particular situations as they may arise. Five practice periods
Speaker 1: are urged, allowing a full minute for each. In the
Speaker 1: practice periods, begin by repeating the idea to yourself, I
Speaker 1: am determined to see things differently. Then close your eyes
Speaker 1: and search your mind carefully for situations past, present, or
Speaker 1: anticipated that arouse anger in you. The anger may take
Speaker 1: the form of any reaction, ranging from mild irritation to rage.
Speaker 1: This requires honesty. Obviously, the degree of the emotion you
Speaker 1: experience does not matter. You will become increasingly aware that
Speaker 1: a slight twinge of annoyance is nothing but a veil
Speaker 1: drawn over intense fury. That is a that is a
Speaker 1: wowur because the deception in the game that I would
Speaker 1: tend to play with myself is that, oh, a mild
Speaker 1: irritation doesn't matter. But it's exactly the same. And see
Speaker 1: this course requires honesty. But it's being honest with myself
Speaker 1: because an and I will also say that. And again
Speaker 1: we're only sharing our own realizations as we do. This
Speaker 1: is that And I've lost my thought already. Oh, I
Speaker 1: did not have, uh, let's say, a standard if I
Speaker 1: can say it that way, a standard in which to
Speaker 1: I could uh use to I. I don't, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to express this. But there's not
Speaker 1: a way that I would know that I was being
Speaker 1: dishonest with myself because I needed a whole idea, a
Speaker 1: consistency or an impeccability and a And the only word
Speaker 1: I can say is a wholeness because nothing is left
Speaker 1: out by which I can know that I am deceiving myself,
Speaker 1: because again it requires honesty. Is this clearer? Okay? So
Speaker 1: this is what has all been offered us, is that
Speaker 1: we have this basis. Okay. So therefore, try therefore not
Speaker 1: to let quote unquote little thoughts of anger escape you
Speaker 1: in the practice periods. Remember that you do not really
Speaker 1: recognize what arouses anger in you, and nothing that you
Speaker 1: believe in this case connection means anything. I am never
Speaker 1: upset for the reason I think you will probably be
Speaker 1: tempted to dwell more on some situations or persons than
Speaker 1: on others, on the fallacious grounds that they are more
Speaker 1: obvious in quotes. This is not so. It is merely
Speaker 1: an example of the belief that some forms of attack
Speaker 1: are more justified than others. As you search your mind
Speaker 1: for all the forms in which attack, thoughts present themselves,
Speaker 1: hold one. Hold each one in mind while you tell yourself,
Speaker 1: I am determined to see in the name of the
Speaker 1: person differently, I am determined to be I am determined
Speaker 1: to see and specify the situation differently. Try to be
Speaker 1: as specific as possible. You may, for example, focus your
Speaker 1: anger on a particular attribute of a particular person, believing
Speaker 1: that the anger is limited to this aspect. If your
Speaker 1: perception is suffering from this form of distortion, I love
Speaker 1: this way, he says. If your perception is suffering from
Speaker 1: this form of distortion, say I am determined to see
Speaker 1: specify the attribute in the person differently. See because you
Speaker 1: have made your anger specific, and so it has to
Speaker 1: be addressed in your mind specifically. Okay, so now we
Speaker 1: are going to apply bye this lesson. We're going to
Speaker 1: devote the minute right now to applying this lesson. I
Speaker 1: am determined to see differently and and okay, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna turn this down and we're going to just review
Speaker 1: once again that during the course of the day, apart
Speaker 1: from the practice periods, that you can apply the idea
Speaker 1: to anything that arouses anger in you throughout the day.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is really, when you think about it,
Speaker 1: what the mind training is is to be alert. One
Speaker 1: of the other things you'll notice with this lesson, which
Speaker 1: we also cover it in our recent lessons, is there
Speaker 1: actually is no difference between seeing and thinking. That they're
Speaker 1: actually simultaneous, because when you say I want to see
Speaker 1: things differently, you really are seeing that it is your
Speaker 1: own thought association that you're dealing with here that projection
Speaker 1: makes perception or perception. Projection makes perception and you cannot
Speaker 1: see beyond it. So this is there. They are simultaneous.
Speaker 1: And of course, as we do these lessons, these early lessons,
Speaker 1: they don't take much time, so we have time left
Speaker 1: we can review again something in the text. But I
Speaker 1: have to confess right now, I'm very undecided because I
Speaker 1: found myself getting into as I read this morning, the
Speaker 1: invitation that we had in the out of time journal
Speaker 1: and this idea that a learning transformative learning process is
Speaker 1: a form of conversion in this revelatory that you know,
Speaker 1: all true learning is revelatory. And you know, the other
Speaker 1: day Walter was reading something from the text and it
Speaker 1: was from chapter twenty eight the Greater Joining, and I
Speaker 1: was just looking at what has what he was reading,
Speaker 1: and what was given us. And if we attempt to
Speaker 1: approach understanding and I put the word understanding in air quotes,
Speaker 1: if we try to approach the idea of understanding based
Speaker 1: on an assumption of ourselves, that is not true. So,
Speaker 1: for example, learning in the world is this idea that
Speaker 1: you are the stable factor here and are acquiring, as
Speaker 1: we said, this information or exchange of information. But it's
Speaker 1: not true. So you're not going to be able to
Speaker 1: take anything and grasp it that it is through the
Speaker 1: rev revealing or the undoing process, or in the practice
Speaker 1: of the release of my anger. I'm determined to see
Speaker 1: things differently that what is present with me by virtue
Speaker 1: of the fact of our minds being as we are,
Speaker 1: as they are, as God created us. That is there already,
Speaker 1: it is already present, It is here, it is now,
Speaker 1: It is the removal of the obstacles to the awareness
Speaker 1: of Love's presence. So I'm determined to see things differently.
Speaker 1: So this also brought me, because this is a miracle's
Speaker 1: healing center, it always brought it. It also so brought
Speaker 1: me to the idea that we have miracles healing stations.
Speaker 1: And the very first one was does anybody remember determination? Determination?
Speaker 1: And for those of you who are listening, you can
Speaker 1: go to the Miracles Healing Center dot com and pull
Speaker 1: it up on your screen and it's the healing Stations.
Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna talk about this for a second. Well,
Speaker 1: let's first read what has been given us, And again
Speaker 1: this is from the master teacher of a course of miracles.
Speaker 1: Here is the simple truth of it. Here is the
Speaker 1: simple truth of it. Every human body, association of life
Speaker 1: is uniquely included with the eternal power and love of
Speaker 1: the whole universe. Spontaneous healing and miraculous occurrences and instantaneous
Speaker 1: cures are only demonstrations of the innate, singular wholeness of
Speaker 1: reality that we share. I love this word. Innate is innate.
Speaker 1: Where you can't eliminate, you can't get rid of it.
Speaker 1: It's not possible it's innate, and we share it. We
Speaker 1: are convinced that the only disease we could possibly suffer
Speaker 1: is the entire condition of human existence. That's the only
Speaker 1: disease human existence. Experience the curing power of renewed faith
Speaker 1: in the solitude, the miracles, healing stations. You are invited
Speaker 1: to circulate freely among these private prayer stations, all the
Speaker 1: helpful reminders of your dedic of your dedication to the
Speaker 1: healing process of your mind and body. Sorry, let me
Speaker 1: read that again. All have helpful reminders of your dedication
Speaker 1: to the healing process of your mind and body. So
Speaker 1: these are helpful reminders of your dedication. It's your dedication,
Speaker 1: the only thing you can be dedicated to. You can't
Speaker 1: be dedicated to anything else. Okay, So I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: read all of them. We have determination, perseverance, forgiveness, gratefulness, love, peace, light, joy, mind, power,
Speaker 1: freedom and home. And if you notice, determination, perseverance forgiveness
Speaker 1: are actions in your own mind and what is experienced
Speaker 1: and what emerges by virtue of your willingness to practice
Speaker 1: what we have been given. Gratefulness, love, peace, light, joy, mind, power, freedom,
Speaker 1: and home. So all has been given all I have
Speaker 1: to do. All you have to do is take the step.
Speaker 1: Take the step. That step is now. That step is now,
Speaker 1: the step is now. I am determined to see things differently. Okay,
Speaker 1: I go about my day something. I'm determined to see
Speaker 1: things differently. All true learning is revelatory. Okay, let's take
Speaker 1: a break and I'm gonna play Amazing Grace. So what
Speaker 1: I would like to do now is read a section
Speaker 1: from chapter fourteen of the text. And this is the
Speaker 1: equality of miracles. When no perception stands between God and
Speaker 1: his creations, or between his children and their own, the
Speaker 1: knowledge of creation must continue forever. The reflections you accept
Speaker 1: into the mirror of your mind in time bring but
Speaker 1: bring eternity nearer or further see there's nothing again, there's
Speaker 1: no neutral. Oh this is fourteen, the Equality of Miracles.
Speaker 1: Sorry about that. Pardon me, Oh, it's it's section ten.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, all right, I will just start it again.
Speaker 1: When no perception stands between God and his creations, or
Speaker 1: between his children and their own, the knowledge of creation
Speaker 1: must continue forever. The reflections you accept into the mirror
Speaker 1: of your mind in time, but bring eternity nearer or further.
Speaker 1: Notice again, This is the idea of there's no neutral thought,
Speaker 1: and you see no neutral things. The reflections you accept
Speaker 1: into the mirror of your mind again thinking and seeing,
Speaker 1: but eternity, yourself is beyond all time. Reach out of
Speaker 1: time and touch it with the help of its reflection
Speaker 1: in you, and you will turn from time to holiness
Speaker 1: as sure as the reflection of holiness calls everyone to
Speaker 1: lay all guilt aside, reflect the peace of heaven here,
Speaker 1: and bring this world to heaven. For the reflection of
Speaker 1: truth draws everyone to truth, and as they enter into it,
Speaker 1: they leave all reflections behind. In heaven, reality is shared
Speaker 1: and not reflected. By sharing its reflection here is truth
Speaker 1: becomes the only perception the Son of God accepts, and
Speaker 1: thus remembrance of his father dawns on him, and he
Speaker 1: can no longer be satisfied with anything but his own reality.
Speaker 1: You on earth have no conception of limitlessness, for the
Speaker 1: world you seem to live in is a world of limits. Okay,
Speaker 1: As I am in this world, I have no conception
Speaker 1: of little limitlessness. That is something I am instructed in
Speaker 1: that idea. So I have no basis on which I
Speaker 1: can evaluate because I have no conception of it because
Speaker 1: it's beyond conception. So again it is the transformative learning
Speaker 1: process is revelatory. It's not I can hold myself as
Speaker 1: I believe I am and think I can learn something different. Now,
Speaker 1: all I am getting is the reflection of what I
Speaker 1: think I am. So in this mind training, I am
Speaker 1: going to let truth be reflected by the release of
Speaker 1: what I believe I am. Okay, I have no basis
Speaker 1: to know. I am determined to see things differently. That
Speaker 1: is really the same as into thy hands I commend
Speaker 1: my spirit. In this world, it is not true see
Speaker 1: that anything without order of difficulty can occur. The miracle
Speaker 1: therefore has a unique function and is motivated by a
Speaker 1: unique teacher who brings the laws of another world to
Speaker 1: this one. The miracle is the one thing you can
Speaker 1: do that transcends order, being based not on differences but
Speaker 1: on equality. Miracles are not in competition, and the number
Speaker 1: of them that you can do is limitless. They can
Speaker 1: be simultaneous and legion and just as a personal thing.
Speaker 1: This I this use of the word legion I found
Speaker 1: quite interesting simply because in the King James version of
Speaker 1: the New Testament, probably in other versions too, when uh
Speaker 1: they come to collect Jesus. Uh, I guess I guesssemine.
Speaker 1: You know when they Judas brings Uh the soldiers to
Speaker 1: Jesus to arrest him, and he says, you think that
Speaker 1: I can pray and that the uh the angels that
Speaker 1: will appear aren't legion. You know. It's this idea that
Speaker 1: the miracle is always present. It is through prayer, through
Speaker 1: the asking, which is simultaneous with the release of the
Speaker 1: idea of myself. Okay, So they can be simultaneous and legion.
Speaker 1: This is not difficult to understand once you conceive of
Speaker 1: them as possible at all. What is more difficult to
Speaker 1: grasp is the lack of order of difficulty that stamps
Speaker 1: the miracle as something that must come from elsewhere, not
Speaker 1: from here. From the world's viewpoint, this is impossible. Okay.
Speaker 1: Now he's going to bring us into our own thinking
Speaker 1: process so that we can see how this is. Perhaps
Speaker 1: you have been aware of the lack of competition among
Speaker 1: your thoughts, which, even though they may conflict, can occur
Speaker 1: together and in great numbers. You may indeed be so
Speaker 1: used to this that it causes you little surprise. Yet
Speaker 1: you are also used to classifying some of your thoughts
Speaker 1: as more important, larger, or better, wiser, or more productive
Speaker 1: and valuable than others. This is true of the thoughts
Speaker 1: that cross the mind of those who think they live apart.
Speaker 1: For some are reflections of heaven, while others are motivated
Speaker 1: by the ego, which but seems to think. The result
Speaker 1: is a weaving, changing pattern that never rest and is
Speaker 1: never still. It shifts unceasingly across the mirror of your mind,
Speaker 1: and the reflections of Heaven lasts but a moment and
Speaker 1: grow dim as darkness blots them out. Where there was light,
Speaker 1: darkness removes it in an instant, and alternating patterns of
Speaker 1: light and darkness sweep constantly across your mind. The little
Speaker 1: sanity that still remains is still held together by a
Speaker 1: sense of order that you establish. The very fact that
Speaker 1: you can do this and bring any order into chaos
Speaker 1: shows you that you are not an ego, and that
Speaker 1: more than an ego must be in you, For the
Speaker 1: ego is chaos, and if it were all of you,
Speaker 1: no order at all would be possible. Yet though the
Speaker 1: order you impose on your mind limits the ego, it
Speaker 1: also limits you. To order is to judge and to
Speaker 1: arrange by judgment. Therefore, it is not your function but
Speaker 1: the Holy spirits. This is again a reiteration of the
Speaker 1: idea that there are no small angers. There's no small
Speaker 1: idea of anger that you know. The slightest annoyance is
Speaker 1: a veil over an intense fury. I'm never upset for
Speaker 1: the reason I think, Okay, I'm just going to take
Speaker 1: a break here and we're going to play and straight
Speaker 1: the path.
Speaker 2: No more said.
Speaker 3: Bad.
Speaker 2: Now you remain you all aways live, So now don't wait.
Speaker 4: Straight the bathom, narrow the game, straight the bath and
Speaker 4: narrow the game. Don't speak of sad.

Speaker 4: straight the bath, and arrow the game.
Speaker 5: No more said good bad for now you remainer you've
Speaker 5: all always been.
Speaker 1: So he.

Speaker 4: the pathom narrow the game. Don't speak of sack que fu,
Speaker 4: for you found the barn Wortheny bros.

Speaker 4: Always spend live, So now don't wait straight the bath
Speaker 4: and narrow the game. Straight the bath and narrow the game.
Speaker 4: Straight the bath, and narrow again. Straight the baths narrow
Speaker 4: the game read back and namal.
Speaker 5: Thegety straight baths narrow.
Speaker 2: The string bast.
Speaker 3: Street, the bar stan, the strict st.
Speaker 2: Strat, strat strat.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much that mis Mitch, let's continue with
Speaker 1: this section. It will seem difficult for you to learn
Speaker 1: that you have no basis at all for ordering your thoughts.
Speaker 1: This lesson the Holy Spirit teaches by giving you the
Speaker 1: shining example of miracles, to show you that your way
Speaker 1: of ordering is wrong, that a better way is offered you.
Speaker 1: The miracle offers exactly the same response to every call
Speaker 1: for help. It does not judge the call. It merely
Speaker 1: recognizes what it is and answers accordingly. It does not
Speaker 1: consider which call is louder, or greater or more important.
Speaker 1: You may wonder how you, who are still bound to judgment,
Speaker 1: can be asked to do that which requires no judgment
Speaker 1: of your own. The answer is very simple. The power
Speaker 1: of God, and not of you, engenders miracles. The miracle
Speaker 1: itself is but the witness that you have the power
Speaker 1: of God in you. This is so key, here is
Speaker 1: the power of God in you and not you, not
Speaker 1: of you, not of you. I really love this and
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you where my thinking has gone with this.
Speaker 1: You know there are there is uh s s, some
Speaker 1: I don't know how what they call themselves. It doesn't
Speaker 1: really matter what they call themselves. But the guys that
Speaker 1: the Christians that do like centering prayer and things like that,
Speaker 1: which centering prayer is amazing because it is a vacation
Speaker 1: of the mind. It is a complete release of the mind.
Speaker 1: And many of us here and those listening have had
Speaker 1: amazing experiences. But what we what I and I can
Speaker 1: only speak for myself. What I did not have was
Speaker 1: uh a framework for any of this. And furthermore, it
Speaker 1: I didn't have a means that I knew of that
Speaker 1: I could integrate those experiences, that things could come together
Speaker 1: in my mind and not have this appearances of having
Speaker 1: let's say, a foot in both worlds sort of speak. Okay,
Speaker 1: And this has really been given us from the very
Speaker 1: beginning of the mind training. Nothing I see means anything.
Speaker 1: I've given everything I see, all the meaning that it has.
Speaker 1: It's all in this idea that truth is true and
Speaker 1: nothing else is true. And so in this training of
Speaker 1: depending on the power of God that is innate in you,
Speaker 1: that takes care of all of it. And so you
Speaker 1: are not actually living in two orders of real And
Speaker 1: so what appears to be limited, separate, victimized, you know,
Speaker 1: all the things that come with living in this world,
Speaker 1: it has nothing to do. It's not even there. And
Speaker 1: so the key is really in my hand. The key
Speaker 1: is really in your hand of really letting and allowing
Speaker 1: this to be true, and that becomes your That is
Speaker 1: your dedication. It's your only purpose for being here, of course. Okay,
Speaker 1: so let me just get back to this. The power
Speaker 1: of God and not of you in Gender's miracle. The
Speaker 1: miracle itself is but the witness that you have the
Speaker 1: power of God in you. That is the reason why
Speaker 1: the miracle gives equal blessing to all who share in it,
Speaker 1: and that it is also why everyone shares in it.
Speaker 1: The power of God is limitless and being always maximal,
Speaker 1: it offers everything to everyone, to every call from anyone.
Speaker 1: There is no order of difficulty here. A call for
Speaker 1: help is given help. The only judgment involved is the
Speaker 1: Holy spirits. One division into two categories, one of love,
Speaker 1: and the other the call for love. You cannot safely
Speaker 1: make this division, for you are much too confused either
Speaker 1: to recognize love or to believe that everything else is
Speaker 1: nothing but a call for love. You are too bound
Speaker 1: to form and not to content. What you consider content
Speaker 1: is not content at all. It is merely form and
Speaker 1: nothing else. For you do not respond to what a
Speaker 1: brother really offers you, but only to the particular perception
Speaker 1: of his offering by which the ego judges it. The
Speaker 1: ego is incapable of understanding content and is totally unconcerned
Speaker 1: with it. To the ego, if the form is acceptable,
Speaker 1: the content must be, otherwise it will attack the form.
Speaker 1: If you believe you understand something of the dynamics quote
Speaker 1: unquote of the ego, let me assure you that you
Speaker 1: understand nothing of it. Again, here is a statement you
Speaker 1: can really take at face value. If I think I
Speaker 1: understand anything about how the meaningless thinking of my mind were, okay,
Speaker 1: I can just circumvent all of that. I don't understand
Speaker 1: any of it. Now, I'm free for of yourself. You
Speaker 1: could not understand it. The study of the ego is
Speaker 1: not the study of the mind. In fact, the ego
Speaker 1: enjoys studying itself and thoroughly approves the undertakings of the
Speaker 1: students who would analyze it. Thus approving is importance. Yet
Speaker 1: they but study form with meaningless content, for their teacher
Speaker 1: is senseless, though careful to conceal this fact behind impressive
Speaker 1: sounding words, but which lack any consistent sense when they
Speaker 1: are put together. This is precisely I mean, it makes
Speaker 1: me very, very happy in the idea that all true
Speaker 1: learning is revelatory. I don't need to depend on this
Speaker 1: process that I have taught myself. I can literally let
Speaker 1: it go. What do I use? I use the lesson
Speaker 1: of the day. I am determined to see things differently,
Speaker 1: so I don't have to depend on that meaningless associative thinking.
Speaker 1: That okay. So this is characteristic of the ego's judgment.
Speaker 1: Separately they seem to hold, but put them together, and
Speaker 1: the system of thought that arises from joining them is
Speaker 1: incoherent and utterly chaotic, for form is not enough for meaning,
Speaker 1: and the underlying lack of content makes a cohesive system impossible.
Speaker 1: Separation therefore remains the ego's chosen condition, for no one
Speaker 1: alone can judge the ego truly. Yet, when two are
Speaker 1: more joined together in the search for truth. The ego
Speaker 1: can no longer defend its lack of content. The fact
Speaker 1: of union tells them it is not true. It is
Speaker 1: impossible to remember God in secret and alone, for remembering
Speaker 1: Him means you are not alone and are willing to
Speaker 1: remember it. Take no thought for yourself, for no thought
Speaker 1: you hold is for yourself. If you would remember your Father,
Speaker 1: let the Holy Spirit order your thoughts and give only
Speaker 1: the answer with which He answers you. This sounds like
Speaker 1: consider the of the field. Everyone seeks for love as
Speaker 1: you do, but knows it not unless he joins with
Speaker 1: you in seeking it. If you undertake the search together,
Speaker 1: you bring with you a light so powerful that what
Speaker 1: you see is given meaning. The lonely journey fails because
Speaker 1: that it has excluded what it would find. As God
Speaker 1: communicates to the Holy Spirit in you, so does the
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit translate his communications through you so you can
Speaker 1: understand them. God has no secret communications, for everything of
Speaker 1: Him is perfectly open and freely accessible to all being.
Speaker 1: For all nothing lives in secret, and what you would
Speaker 1: hide from the Holy Spirit is nothing. This is like
Speaker 1: from the beginning of all about God and how to
Speaker 1: find him our little booklet. God is not hiding you
Speaker 1: are you're trying to be in secret. Communication is perfectly
Speaker 1: open and freely accessible to all being. For all every
Speaker 1: interpretation you would lay upon a brother is senseless. Let
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit show him to you and teach you
Speaker 1: both his love and his call for love. Neither his
Speaker 1: mind nor yours holds more than these two orders of thought.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. The miracle is the recognition that this is true.
Speaker 1: Where there is love, your brother must give it to
Speaker 1: you because of what it is. But where there is
Speaker 1: a call for love, you must give it because of
Speaker 1: what you are. Earlier, I said, this course will teach
Speaker 1: you how to remember what you are restore gowring to
Speaker 1: you your identity. We have already learned that this identity
Speaker 1: is shared. An identity here is capitalized. The miracle becomes
Speaker 1: the means of sharing it. By supplying your identity wherever
Speaker 1: it is not recognized, you will recognize it. And God himself,
Speaker 1: who wills to be with his son forever, will bless
Speaker 1: each recognition of his son with all the love he
Speaker 1: holds for him. Nor will the power of all his
Speaker 1: love be absent from any miracle you offer to his son.
Speaker 1: How then can there be any order of difficulty among them?
Speaker 1: So I just again want to thank you for being here.
Speaker 1: I am determined to see things differently. I love you,
Speaker 1: and may the Peace of God be with you. Have
Speaker 1: a great day.
Speaker 6: You have been listening to voice from Heaven live in
Speaker 6: the Miracles Healing Center.
Speaker 1: Remember that God's voice speaks to you all through the day.
Speaker 6: That God goes with you wherever you go, and that
Speaker 6: God is the mind with which you think. God bless
Speaker 6: us every one.
