Excellent, good on them!
The smaller the country/state, the more options one has to find another place if and when the laws become too harsh and oppressive. Hogging a whole continent by one regime, imposing the same laws on all people just because they happen to live where they are, leaving no other options, is an immoral and unjust crime. I do hope that this precedent will urge more states and territories to secede from the commonwealth, turning Australia from a federation into a confederation, in order to give their residents more options and create a competition between the states over where people can live more freely. For example, I like this state - whose founder needed to declare an independent state in order to create Israel's first nudist beach: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/middle-east/travel-tips-and-articles/14858 (a preview of a new film about it in http://www.metacafe.com/watch/yt-uC5Z2dB1oLs/achziv_a_place_for_love/) Now, if Labor ever comes back to power in Australia, the people of Lamb Island will be able to decide for themselves whether or not they want to have an NBN. As for the dole, you won't need it any more - print your own money! Posted by Yuyutsu, Thursday, 3 October 2013 9:00:11 AM

I once spent some time living on my yacht moored off my waterfront storage shed, & sort of weekender, on Russell Island, in the same group as Lamb.
On one occasion a group of us, with the assistance of a local real estate agent, who had access to the details, worked out how much the Redlands council picked up in rates from Russell Island. They were getting over 100 times what they spent on the island. WE figured it was fair to say their new council chambers had been paid for a couple of times over by the long suffering folk on the bay islands. I fully understand the annoyance of Lamb island residents. I also understand OUG's mention of the dole. There were quite a few work shy folk living on the island. This was a very good argument for curtailing immigration, as most of those work shy people were overseas born. Interestingly a large percentage of those were islanders originally, coming from another smallish island just off the coast of France. You would think that with English as a first language, they could have done better for themselves & us. Posted by Hasbeen, Thursday, 3 October 2013 9:57:15 AM

If it is Independent of Australia, just go there abuse the ruler (whoever) hop on a boat and come to Australia as an asylum seeker.
COME ONE COME ALL Lamb Island awaits you, no visa or documents needed. I personally will help you get to Australia for the low low price of $10,000 get in early before Tony finds out. This place has merit for the following. This offer is especially good if you have lots of children, or if you are old and in your country there is no social security system. Also if you are young and there is no employment in your country, or if you just want to be a dole bludger. Also if the wage in your country is low. Benefits 1) Preferential housing. 2) The dole. 3) Free legal services. 4) Free medical. 5) Free dental. 6) Refugee advocates climbing over each other to help you. 7) Welfare for life.

Very interesting.
There's another micro-nation in Australia that you don't hear much about, called Snake Hill Principality. It has recognition from the Queen, the USA, and various other nations. Posted by Jardine K. Jardine, Thursday, 3 October 2013 11:22:27 AM

Folks, this is serious stuff...
I've read that they're going to have a plebiscite on the new republic's 35 page constitution and a caretaker government consisting of a king, a queen, a prime minister, and 21 ministers. A local yachtsman, Clint McDonald, stands ready to defend the micronation's borders from invasion. And if they need any advice they can always seek it from Australia's most famous micronation, Hutt River Province's - Prince Leonard in Western Australia.

No need to go to the trouble of inventing a new country, Yuyutsu.
>>As for the dole, you won't need it any more - print your own money!<< There's nothing preventing you from printing your own money today, without the inconvenience of appointing a king, queen etc. So long as you don't try to pass it off as Australian currency, of course. Best to make it look a little different, too, so you can't be had for counterfeiting. The problem is not with the creation process, you can make yourself into a millionaire overnight. The difficulty comes in persuading people to accept it in exchange for goods and services. Not impossible, of course, particularly if the area of usage is fairly well defined - the Bristol Pound, for example, encourages the use of local tradespeople by the inhabitants of Bristol... http://bristolpound.org/ Using your own currency as dole money might be a tad more difficult to manage, as it diverts buying power from the productive and of town to the unproductive. But I'm sure that if Nguduroodistan is able to solve that one, their expertise will be in great demand, from every single country that has to fund a welfare system.

We have seen such as this before.
Once an attempt to not pay tax. Surely we all know it is a stunt to draw visitors or some such. And no court would ever back it as well as no government. The thought boat people are going to flock there is a laugh at best. Posted by Belly, Thursday, 3 October 2013 2:22:12 PM

Dear Pericles,
<<No need to go to the trouble of inventing a new country, Yuyutsu.>> It is my understanding (can someone please correct me if I'm wrong) that currently in Australia, if you print your own money, you are still expected to pay tax on it in *real* Australian Dollars, even if you never had any. Nevertheless, I wouldn't bother setting up a new independent country merely for financial reasons, including for the ability to print my own money. If I did declare independence (and fight for it if necessary), it would only be for more profound reasons: one is because my individual freedom is severely denied, the second is because the state severely denies the individual freedoms of others, and while I am not personally affected, my conscience would not allow me to be part of a state which does that.

So true. I wonder if they are looking forward to the prospect of some of those nulti-million dollar grants (taxpayers' dollars, naturally!) should there ever be another Labor government in Canberra? Julia Whatshername was handing out those grants to islanders in the Torres Strait and elsewhere. Maybe the entrepreneurial Lamb Islanders reckon they are also due for the rain of gold from Canberra for 'flooding from global warming'. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-07-12/torres-strait-pleads-for-climate-change-action/2791376 Plenty of tidal land available in Moreton Bay for any who are into money-making lurks. There has just got to be a Native Title angle as well. Sit down and double the money! Hey, it is only taxpayers' money anyhow, isn't it? Posted by onthebeach, Thursday, 3 October 2013 3:24:12 PM

Yes indeed it is only taxpayer's money
as John Howard, George Brandis, Barnaby Joyce, Tony Abbott and many others on both sides of politics - can also confirm. Predictable politicians, as Peter Coleman tells us in the Preface to "The Costello Memoirs," "whatever they may say, most of them do not go into Parliament to bring about particular reforms. They go in becaue they find the life irrisistible. They want ot be in it all their lives. They enjoy its exhilarating highs and take its miserable (and tedious) lows in their stride. They face long years in the wilderness with equanimity. They take for granted the slander of fools. They are politicians the way others are poets. They can't help themselves."

Not entirely incorrect, Yuyutsu, but not particularly correct either.
>>It is my understanding (can someone please correct me if I'm wrong) that currently in Australia, if you print your own money, you are still expected to pay tax on it in *real* Australian Dollars, even if you never had any.<< You cannot be taxed on the actual printed dollars. But if you run a business where you use the currency as a substitute for real money - i.e., you use it as a medium of exchange in lieu of A$, then you are likely to be taxed on the actual A$ value that you create. So no, you can't be taxed just on the existence of the printed stuff, but yes, you can be taxed on income that you personally measure (and are paid) in Yuyutsu dollars, but which the taxman assesses in the Australian variety. Frankly, I don't see much point in these vanity currencies. Even the Bristol Pound - which you can use to pay your council rates - has this teensy little caveat: "Bristol Pounds can not be exchanged directly for sterling" Seems rather to miss the point of having currency in the first place.

Those Moreton Bay Islands share a lot in common with the Hinterland and South Tweed. There needs to be an outreach service from Wonderful Centrelink so the good residents don't have to ruin their day travelling for interviews.
What about a combination meals on wheels from Maccas and Wonderful Centrelink Outreach? If they could pick up the VB slabs and bourbon on the way, mind. Posted by onthebeach, Thursday, 3 October 2013 4:02:07 PM

Given that Bristols is a rhyming slang term... does that make Bristol Pounds a décolletage weight measure?

I never saw any centrelink people out on the bay islands onthebeach, the folk out there weren't that favored.
Where there were centrelink people traveling to the poor underprivileged was to the greenie protesters on Fraser Island. It was considered too much of a hardship for those up trees or buried neck deep in roads to have to travel to Maryborough to the CES office, so the public servants went to them. They even carried folding money for them. Some of us wondered how the smelly ones fulfilled the requirement to apply for a number of jobs each week, but it seems that is only for real people.

Since when does being "residents" of an area entitle one to "secede"?
Even the official states aren't allowed ("one indissoluble Federal Commonwealth"). I hope they realise they will have no claim on anything funded by the Australian or Queensland governments for our citizens (defence, Medicare, Centrelink, disaster relief, legal aid). Needing a passport and alternate currency may in fact kill any tourism they currently have. There are easier destinations. There are less than 500 residents, only a third working full time. Good luck, kids. Posted by Shockadelic, Friday, 4 October 2013 2:20:13 AM

It quite honestly is never going to happen.
Past hut, I think that was the name was telling us it was separate . Imagine if, unthinkable but just say, it got government approval. Instantly it would be a tax have for billions of our tax dollars. We would need agreement to get criminals back, without that it too would become a haven.

Good point, WmTrevor.

Belly, it doesn't need "government approval". That's the whole point about secession.
The United Nations recognises the "right of all peoples to self-determination", and Australia also recognises it. For example, that was the basis of Australia's involvement in East Timor. Australia supported East Timor seceding from Indonesia, even though East Timor didn't have "government approval". Same with Kosovo I think it was. Neither Hutt River nor Snake Hill Principality required or got "government approval". If government approval was a requirement, the USA would not be an independent state, neither would Ireland, most of the states of South America, and many other states of the world.

from
http://www.roitov.com/articles/bagrut.htm It is hard to see here democracy in action (we all remember the ridiculous recounting process in Florida) or even justice in action. In America's questionable legal system, nepotic politruks run the scene. See Prison America. ++ Western dialectics are beyond any doubt the pinnacle of human achievements. "Democracy" means "rule of corporations and oligarchs," "Law" means "what civil servants need for their own profit" while dictionaries define Ev·i·dence [noun] 1: False claim made by a government. "Terrorists" are those fighting Western regimes; "freedom fighters" are those fighting for Western regimes. All others are slaves to be exploited by their governments. This is an implementation of 1984's Doublethink. "The keyword here is blackwhite. Like so many Newspeak words, this word has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts. Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary. This demands a continuous alteration of the past, made possible by the system of thought which really embraces all the rest, and which is known in Newspeak as doublethink. Doublethink is basically the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them."

Interesting to see some the posters here are taking this more seriously than I'm sure the Lamb Island folk are.
Lamb Is. is a little lump of rocky clay. There is not much going for it, except perhaps it is not Brisbane, or any other city, & it is surrounded by water. It is not even very nice water. The tides roar through the area, swirling mud from the mangroves along with them. I would not swim in the water for quids. It has no beach, & if there is any tourism, other than weekenders escaping the city it is very small & low key. The chance of supporting itself is nonexistent. The best thing about Lamb is it's people, who are friendly & helpful. They have been ripped off for years by the council on the mainland, as have all the bay island people. My guess this topic has achieved some of what they are hoping. More people now know the island exists, & that they are unhappy with their treatment by the local government, & state & commonwealth governments. Whether this is likely to make any difference is doubtful. For years there was no council, & most of the people were happy. Then a council was imposed on them, & since then they became unhappy. I don't think much has changed in the 30 odd years since I was there, & I'm afraid not much change is likely from this either, but I wish them luck.

Because this place isn't rich in resources and isn't a big city like Brisbane, it is more likely that the Australian government will not interfere in their independence. Whether and how they will support themselves is nobody else's business but theirs. Posted by Yuyutsu, Friday, 4 October 2013 5:09:00 PM

one under god "we the people"
And what of the "people" of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia? What say do they have in this matter? What if they don't want this island or 520 other towns having their own independent governments? "the federal-con..allows the formation..of more 'states'" Only with the agreement of the majority population of the current state and federal parliament. Lamb Island isn't even asking to be a new "state". If you don't like the term "indissoluble", the constitution can be amended by referendum. Nobody has proposed changing this, as far as I know. Nor this: "the federal rules state.. that where..state law..is divergent..the fall..under federal law" Yes, so the states are basically redundant, so why create 520 of them? "your missing that we all got birth rights" As "citizens". Which they won't be anymore. "great i will inform..png..and other places australia dont care" PNG has no claim to anything "Australian". We can *choose* to offer them anything, but that is our choice, not their entitlement. "no..merely a visa stamp *our own govt..provides..passport" And many Australians don't have one, and certainly aren't going to the trouble of getting one just to visit some tiny island a few metres from Brisbane. "via a cyber smart card?..or in coin? or in collectible fiat bank notes" It doesn't matter what *form* the currency is in. It still means Australians can't use the cash or accounts they already have, and must make extra effort to exchange. "we got natures.fun parks we got ..wildlife[running free]" And so do plenty of other Australian locations that don't require a passport or other currency. "your implication is two/thirds are dole blunderers but most there..are retired..[on-pensions]" I implied nothing. The others are a third part-time and a third non-working. Pensions? And who's paying them? The Australian government, to *citizens* only. What are all those retirees and unemployed going to do when their payments suddenly stop?

one under god, I really wish you could write in proper English
"bris-bane-ites/etc <<..What say..do they have..in this matter?>> none.. let.them fail..or succeed.on their own terms" Lamb Island will fail alright. But they are currently part of "Brisbane", part of "Queensland", part of "Australia", so those entities have every right to have a say. "how many..councils are there now?" Local councils aren't even constitutionally valid. They shouldn't exist. If local councils are evil abusers of the poor, why would you want them to have even more powers? "how many..referendum..have succeeded" Very few, and with good reason. *Australians* didn't want those changes, the politicians did. "a few big fish..in one big_pond or many..little fish..in little ponds? unable to send..us all down..when they inevitably fail" And the smaller they are, the more likely they'll fail, as they won't be economically viable. Many independent states/territories would make sense only in places like Spain or Russia, where there are significant ethnic regional differences. Australia, with the exception of the Aborigine-dominant far north, is fairly homogenous, and therefore unlikely to need one law here and another there. Uniform laws and policies make life easier. The only question is how democratic those decisions are. The current two-party biased system is not truly democratic. I'd want to change that, rather than create 520 fiefdoms where the major parties would still dominate. "EX-brits get british-pension." Yes, from the *British* government, not the Australian. If they are ex-*residents* of UK, not ex-citizens. "many workers PAY.iNTO THE SYSTEM*" Not the Australian system. "<<..PNG has no claim..to anything "Australian".>> i will..let the miners know you said..they can keep their mine" Are you talking about a PNG mine? No, Australia has no "claim" on it, accept where agreed to by the laws and policies of the *PNG* government. We need legal permission to do anything in another country, and vice versa. "they are all..ALL..paper fictions.." And so is the "Independent Republic of Lamb Island". *Everything* in human society is an invention, a creation of our imaginations. There's no point hoping this will change. All you can change are the particular fictions accepted. Posted by Shockadelic, Sunday, 6 October 2013 2:16:04 AM

But yes I too wish you would drop the poem like post style. I offer this as evidence, if we could do such things folk who have for decades wanted new states would have give us a few Queenslands, including one with Rockhamton as its center.

I'll back those sentiments on style OUG.
As my eyes deteriorate I find I can only spend so much time at a screen, or even reading. After a while glasses give me a headache. Your play on words & other technics take longer & more concentration to decipher, I sometimes don't bother. I know someone recently said they had fun deciphering your posts, but your above post was much easier for me. Posted by Hasbeen, Sunday, 6 October 2013 12:27:46 PM

Well done OUG I too found that much better.
Let me be honest, my first posts here and near 4.000 in two other sites before coming here are worse than yours ever got. I have a learning difficulty, not an easy one to describe. But I will try, my life has been full of achievements unexpected from a bloke with so little schooling. See an inviable switch is in side my head, it turns on and I can learn anything. But have no control, some things simple for others are hard work for me, my PC is about ten percent in use, I can not force learning on it! You remember first told me how to cut and paste, thanks for that, I am not ashamed of my lack of education, or some ability's. The best road grader operator I ever saw can not read or write. I am perplexed, just how can I pass tests for say full call ham radio in the top ten percent mark, but had to ask for help to cut and paste? Mate this I know, we must see future generations of country bred people stay in school not go to work in their early teens. Posted by Belly, Sunday, 6 October 2013 5:40:41 PM

one under god, "councils have NO..formalised recognition..but then again..neither does the state"
If you mean the states, they are referred to in the constitution, and prior to that were recognised colonies. "i..dont [want councils to have even more powers]..thats why i..support a referendum" But you're asking for 520 states. Effectively, they would be much the same as the current local councils, only now with powers of legislation, taxation, etc. "no..the more..easy to control/jail" So your solution for political corruption/dominance is to just divide the corrupt cake into smaller slices, rather than bake a new cake (like national proportional representation and direct democracy). "democratic means the 51%" No system will get unanimous results, democracy is the least-worst solution to political conflict. "if you read..my proposition [govt is divided in half]..ie..mens and womens business" I don't recall seeing that, but now I'm even more opposed to your proposition than before. Decisions by the mens group would affect women, and vice versa. Government decisions affect *all* citizens. Posted by Shockadelic, Monday, 7 October 2013 12:09:12 AM

Dear Shockadelic,
I agree that if 520 different states will be miniature copies of what we have now, then nothing was achieved other than increasing expenses. Now would this actually be the case? Would I be too optimistic to hope that groups who are currently oppressed will begin moving to mini-states that allow them to do what they are currently prevented by law (and if there isn't any, then they will decide to converge on one mini-state where they will have a majority)? I for example suffer from not being allowed to ride a bicycle. I would never put that thing on my head, so that's it, no bicycle for me. If there was a state that allowed riding without wearing that pot, then I would seriously consider moving there. This should create competition between mini-states over individual freedoms because no mini-state would like to lose its population, thus overall the Australian cake will no longer look the same.

Yuyutsu, it sounds good in theory, but most people can't just up and leave for the helmet-free zone.
They have jobs, property, friends and relationships. Much easier to campaign to remove such "oppressive" laws and policies with fewer governments, not more. If you only have one government, you only need reform once. Six governments, six reforms. If you have 520, you have to fight the same battle 520 times! one under god, the one-stop shop, eh? Why not just build a gigantic building with everything inside, including residences and shops. Nobody ever need leave the building! Police? Floor 3. School? Floor 16. Supermarket? Floor 78.

<<..if you only have one government,..you only need reform once.>>
Oneundergod "we dont..we have many headed hydra rule" Note the word "if". I want a single government elected by proportional representation, enhanced by direct democracy. *One* government that truly reflects the entire nation's perspective. The elected representatives would not be there to impose their will, so much as formulate the appropriate response to direct democracy ballot results. Any initiatives of theirs can also be overruled by the same public ballot process. "WE ARE OVER GOVERNED..by omipotant..public sercvants" And you think 520 governments will mean *less* bureaucracy?! What of businesses that need to operate in multiple zones (e.g. trucking)? Want to keep 15 different logbooks for the Brisbane-to-Sydney trip? People on one side of a river can fish without a license, on the other side prohibited. Is this the "fair" system Australians deserve (or even *want*)? What of a regional government who diverts all water from a river, depriving regions downstream of any? Remember, no higher authority to turn to. <<..If you have 520, you have to fight..the same battle 520 times!>> "no once a succesfull model emerges..many will follow" They may follow (but you have to go through the same reform over and over again), but these are *independent* units you are proposing, with no superior authority. They don't have to "follow" anyone else, nor consider the rest of Australia when making their own decisions. "just a police state mate." That's exactly what you'll create. 520 our-way-or-the-highway fiefdoms that are unconstrained by any other authority. Posted by Shockadelic, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 11:47:10 PM

[i..shall pay any..monetary-tithe..due to them..too anyhow..it.shall_be on earth..as it.l.is in..heaven so lets get..on with comprehending..heaven..[i began it here] http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=15257&page=0 ..but its..now clear..like pearl..before peers..[no-one hears] anyhow continuing from..page 48 JESUS..wrote! What..you/do..NOT realize..is that..the mind can mis-create..[make injurious/hurtful..creations].. only..when..he is NOT..free...[ie..when he lets..fear..draw near].. An...imprisoned/mind..is not free. by definition...It is..possessed.. or..held back, drawn..into delusion..into/of/by/for..being..of ITSELF. Its..captured/capitulated/defeated..bamboozled will..to act..of self-will ..is therefore..limited,..and not*...free..to assert..itself. B..RECALL..The/three things..that crossed..your mind, which was..comparatively free..at..the time,..are perfectly relevant:..to the learning..of these..times sadly johan..doth..it in..rhyme 1...It/is alright..to remember..the past, provided..you also.remember..that ANYTHING..*you suffer.. is because of..YOUR OWN..free-wiled [wilful].ERRORS...[not gods will] 2...In this context,[of..recognition..of self-ish..errors].. your*/remark..that..“after..the burning,..I swore..if I//ever saw/him again,..I would..(not) (“Not” was..written..in later) that..i would not..recognize him...Note, by the way,..that..you did not..put in the “not”..*until afterwards...That..is because..of..your inherent..inner...[ego/id]..correction device..that was working..properly at..this time..IN..the moment. The..resul.. is that you..are NOT..DENYING..ME. 3...The story..about Hinda...This was..an excellent/example of miss-perception..which/led to..a totally..unwarranted fear..of a PERSON... (HS story..refers to..a very young child.. who/fell..down..the stairs..when HS..had arms open..in..a welcoming gesture..at bottom..of stairs. For years..afterwards,..Hinda screamed..upon seeing HS.) The one..mis-step..which caused her/fall.. had nothing..at all..to do with you,..just as..your own mis-steps..have nothing..*at all..to do/with me. Denial..of error..is a..very powerful..defense of truth. We..have slowly..been shifting..the/emphasis..from..the negative to the positive..use..of denial. Remember,..we have..already/stated..that denial is not..a purely negative device;..if/it results..in positive mis-creation...That is..the way..the mentally ill..DO employ it. But remember..a very early/thought..of your own, “Never underestimate..the power of..denial.”..In the service..of the..“Right Mind”,..the denial..of ERROR..frees..the mind and..reestablishes/the freedom..of the will. When the will..is REALLY free,..it..cannot mis-create, because..it recognizes..ONLY TRUTH....error/Projection..arises out of FALSE DENIAL...Not out of..its proper use... My own role..in the Atonement..IS one..of true projection,.. i.e.,..I can..project..to YOU the..affirmation..of truth. If/thus..you project error...to me..(or to yourself) you are interfering..with the process...My use of/projection,..which can..also be yours,..is NOT based on..faulty denial... But it DOES/involve..the very powerful use..of the denial..of error. The miracle..worker..is one..who accepts..my kind..of denial..and projection,..unites his/own inherent abilities...to deny and project..with mine,..and thus..imposes them..back upon himself..inwardly..rather than projectively..[positively] go lamb island remember..all money raised goes to..the playgroup-little lambs.

It..is indeed..an opinion
strangely..prevailing amongst men,..that houses, mountains, rivers,..and in a word..all sensible..objects have..an existence natural or real,..*distinct from..their being perceived..by the understanding..written into any paper...declaring artificial authority..over other., But..with/how..great..an assurance..and acquiescence soever this principle..may be entertained..in the world;..yet whoever shall find in his heart..to call it..in question, may,..if I mistake not, perceive it..to involve a manifest contradiction. For what..are..the forementioned/objects..but the things we perceive by sense,..and what do we perceive..besides our own ideas or sensations; and is it not plainly..repugnant that..any one/of these or any combination..of them..should exist..unperceived? Berkeley presents..here/the following argument (see Winkler 1989, 138): (1) We perceive..ordinary objects houses, mountains, etc.). (2) We perceive..only ideas. [our creations..and..the creations..of other..[such as state/ Therefore, (3) Ordinary objects..are ideas. we havnt..as yet..validated..as not..of..our creation..warrant. The argument is valid,..and premise..(1) looks hard to deny. What about premise..(2)? Berkeley believes..that this premise is accepted by..all the modern philosophers. In the Principles, Berkeley is operating..within the idea-theoretic tradition of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In particular, Berkeley believes..that some version..of this premise is accepted by..his main targets,..the influential philosophers Descartes and Locke. However, Berkeley..recognizes that these philosophers have an obvious..response available to this argument. This response blocks Berkeley's inference to (3) by distinguishing..two sorts of perception, mediate and immediate. Thus,..premises (1) and (2) ..are replaced by the claims..that (1..we mediately perceive ordinary objects, while..(2;) we immediately perceive..only ideas. From these claims,..of course, no idealist conclusion follows. The response reflects..a representationalist..theory of perception, according to which..we indirectly..(mediately) perceive material things, by directly..(immediately)..perceiving ideas, which are mind-dependent items. [revelation] The ideas..represent external material objects, and thereby..allow us to perceive them...in mind just as contracts/constitutes/warrants..are on..paper and the binding[bonding]..of the spoken word/hand-shake Whether Descartes,Malebranche,..and Locke..were representation-alists of this kind..is a matter of some controversy..(see e.g. Yolton 1984, Chappell 1994). However, Berkeley surely..had good grounds..for understanding his predecessors..in this way:..it reflects..the most obvious interpretation of Locke's account..of perception and Descartes' whole procedure in the Meditations..tends to suggest..this sort of view, given the meditator's..situation..as someone contemplating..her own ideas,..trying to determine.whether something external corresponds to them. 2.1.2 The..likeness/principle no..that wasnt jesus http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/berkeley/ Posted by one under god, Saturday, 19 October 2013 12:29:27 PM

as it..becomes more..and more secure;
and..assumes its natural talent..of protecting/others. The inner self..knows itself..as of ..the light../as both a brother AND..a son.[sun..of the light/de-light]. (The above notes..written.very slowly. When HS asked..about this,.she was told, “don’t worry..about the notes../.They are right, but YOU..are not..sufficiently..Right-Minded..yet..to write about the Atonement...with comfort...in time..You..will write...about it..yet with joy.) (Aside..from HS: Last night..I felt briefly..but intensely depressed,..temporarily under/the impression..that I was..abandoned...I tried,..but couldn’t get through..at all... After a/while,..I decided..to give up..for the time being,..and..He said,..“don’t worry...I will never leave..or forsake..you.” I..did feel..a little..better,..and decided I was..really..not sick,..so I could..return to my..exercises...While I was exercising,..I had some..part-vision..experiences..which I found..only..mildly frightening..at times,..and quite reassuring..at others. I am not..too sure./of the sequence,..but..it began..with a..VERY clear assurance..of love,and..an equally clear emphasis..on my own great value,beauty and purity...Things got a little confusing..after that. First,..the idea..of “Bride..of Christ”..occurred..to me with vaguely/inappropriate..“undertones”...Then..there was a repetition..of ..the way..of Love”,..and a/restatement..of an/earlier experience,.. now..as if it were..FROM Him..TO me: “Behold the..Handmaid of..the Lord;..Be it done..unto you according..to His Word.”..(This threw me..into panic before,..but at that time,..it was stated..in the more..accurate Biblical/phrasing:..“Be it/done..unto ME..according to HIS-Word.” This time..I was a bit uneasy,..but remembered..I had mis- perceived..it last time,..and was probably..still not..seeing it right. Actually,..it is really..just a statement/of allegiance.to the Divine Service,..which can/hardly..be dangerous. Then..there was..a strange sequence,..in which..Christ *seemed to be..making very/obvious advances,..which became..quite sexual..in my perception/of them...I ALMOST/thought..briefly that he turned..into a devil. I got just..a little scared,..and..the possession/idea..came in..for a while,..but I thought..it..SO silly,..that there..is no point..in taking..it/seriously. (As..I am writing..this,..I remember..that thing in the book..about..the demon-lover,..which once..[THROUGH me (note/spelling,..“threw”)..threw..into a fit...I am upset,..but the spelling-slip..is reassuring. This/morning we..reviewed..the whole episode. He said..he was..“VERY pleased..at the..COMPARATIVE lack..of fear, and..also..the concomitant/awareness..that it WAS..my misperception. This showed..much greater strength,.;.and a much..increased Right- Mindedness...This is because..defenses are now..being used much better,..on behalf of..*truth..more than error,..though not completely..so. The weaker use of mis-projection is shown by my recognition that it can’t REALLY be that way, which became possible as soon as denial was applied against error, NOT truth. This permitted a much greater awareness of alternative interpretations. page/54 http://miraclevision.com/acim/urtext/acim-urtext-2003-upe-ready-edition.pdf Posted by one under god, Sunday, 20 October 2013 2:04:46 PM

The spiritual eye..literally CANNOT SEE..[error],
and merely looks..for,,the signs..of the Atonement.[life/love/light/logic/law/reason/grace/mercy..at one meant.[love..of other applied] All the solutions..which the physical eyes seek,..dissolve..in its truth seeing..in-sight...The spiritual eye,..which looks within, recognizes immediately..that the altar/[heart]..has been defiled, and needs to be repaired..and protected. Perfectly aware of the RIGHT/defense,..excludes offense..as it surpasses over all others,..looking past error to truth...Because of the real strength..of ITS vision,..lies beyong..subdi-vision]..it pulls the will..eye..into its own service,..and forces the mind/why..to concur. This reestablishes the true power..of the will, and makes it increasingly unable to tolerate delay.*..[impatience/hurt anger/frustrations]..The mind..LY*..then realizes,..with increasing certitude,..that delay is only a way of/increasing unnecessary pain, which it need not tolerate..*at all. The pain threshold drops accordingly,.and the mind becomes increasingly sensitive..to what it would once have regarded as very minor intrusions..of discomfort. The Children of God..are entitled to perfect comfort,,,which comes from a sense of perfect trust. Until they achieve this,..they waste themselves..and their true creative power..* on useless attempts to make themselves..more comfortable by inappropriate means. But..the real means..is ALREADY provided, and does not..involve any efforts..on their part at all. Their egocentricity.usually misperceives this as personally insulting, an miss-interpretation..which obviously..arises from their misperception..of themselves...by insertion..of the worst..seen..in other..[the fears]..into/ourselves. Egocentricity and..communion cannot coexist. Even the terms themselves are contradictory. The Atonement is the only gift..which is worthy of being offered..to the Altar of God. This is because of the inestimable value..of the Altar[heart].. itself...It was created perfect,..and is..entirely worthy of receiving perfection. God IS lonely without..His Souls, and THEY are/lonely without Him. Remember the “spiritual” (a very good term) which begins..with “And God..stepped down..from Heaven[with/in][him] and said:..I’M lonely..i think..i will-I’ll make ME a World.” The..world WAS..a way of healing the Separation,..[of the all knowing..know it all..seeking but peers[equals]..top abate..his alone-ness..and the Atonement..is the GUARANTEE that..the device will ultimately..do so. (HS request/for..special message for B. Tell B that..his delaying tactics..[wrought..of delusional/fear]..are holding him..back.

You and B.illusion..you
Both believe..that “being afraid” is involuntary. But I have told you many/times..that only CONSTRUCTIVE acts should be involuntary. We said that Christ-control..can take over everything that DOESN’T matter,..and Christ-guidance..can direct everything that DOES, if you so will. BUT* Fear cannot..be Christ-controlled, but it CAN..be self-controlled. Fear is always..associated with what does not matter... It prevents Me..from controlling it...because..your will/wills it The correction/is therefore a matter of YOUR will,..because its presence shows that you have raised the UNIMPORTANT to a higher level than it warrants. You have thus brought it under your will, where it DOES NOT belong. This means..YOU feel responsible for it. The level confusion here..is perfectly obvious. The reason that I cannot CONTROL fear..*for you is that you are attempting to raise to the mind level..the proper content of the lower-order reality. I do NOT foster level confusion, but you..can will to correct it. You would not tolerate insane behavior..on your part, and would hardly advance the excuse that you could not help it. Why should you tolerate insane thinking? There is a fallacy here you would do well to look at clearly. You both believe that you ARE responsible for what you DO, but NOT for WHAT you THINK. The truth is that you ARE responsible for what you THINK, because it is only at this level that you CAN exercise choice...What you DO..comes from what you think You cannot separate the truth..by giving autonomy to your behavior. This is controlled by Me automatically, as soon as..you place what you think under my guidance. Whenever you are afraid, it is a sure sign that you have allowed your mind to miscreate, i.e., have NOT allowed..Me,,of the heart..to guide it. It is pointless to believe..that controlling the outcome of mis-Thought can result in real healing...When you are fearful, you have willed wrongly. This is why..you feel..you are responsible for it. You must change your MIND,..not your behavior, and..this IS a matter of will. You do not need guidance EXCEPT at the mind-level. Correction belongs..ONLY at that level..you will; where creation..is possible...dont create..,hurtfull,delusions. Posted by one under god, Monday, 21 October 2013 7:45:14 AM

The term..does not/really mean..anything..at the symptom-level,..where..it cannot work...
The correction..of..the error..of fear..IS your responsibility. When.you ask..for release..from fear, you are..implying..that it..isn’t...from you.. but..that..*you fear..it comes..from me. You/should ask,..instead,..for my/help.. in the conditions*..which have brought..the fear about. This condition..*always entails..a separated Mind-willingness...At this level,..you CAN..help it...or end it. You are..much too tolerant..of Mind-wandering, thus passively..your..condoning its miscreation.[fear] The..particular/result..never matters,.. but..this fundamental(*..error DOES...The/fundamental-correction is always*..the same...Before*..you will*..to do..*anything,.ask Me..if your will..is in accord..with Mine...[motivated..of love..of other].

The later..theorists denied..the split-energy concept,
not..by attempting to heal it,..but by reinterpreting it..instead of redistributing it. This placed them in the illogical position of assuming that the split which their..therapies were intended to heal had not occurred. The result of this approach is essentially,a form of hypnosis. This is quite different from Freud’s approach, which merely ended in..a deadlock. A similar deadlock occurs when both the power of Creation and of miscreation..coexist. This is experienced as conflict only because the individual feels AS IF both were..occurring AT THE SAME LEVEL. He BELIEVES in what he has created in his own..unconscious and he naturally believes it is real BECAUSE he created it. He, thus, places himself in a position where the fearful becomes REAL. Nothing but level-confusion..can result as long as this belief..is held..*in ANY form. Inappropriate denial and equally inappropriate identification of the REAL factors in the/basic conflict will NOT solve the problem itself. The conflict CANNOT disappear until it..is fully recognized that miscreation is NOT real, and therefore there IS no conflict. This entails a full realization of the basic fact, although man has miscreated in a very real..sense, he need neither continue to do so, nor to suffer from his past errors in this respect. A redistribution of psychic energy,..then,.is NOT the solution. Both the idea that both..kinds..*MUST exist,..and the belief that ONE kind is amenable..*for use or misuse, are real distortions. The ONLY way is to STOP MISCREATING NOW, and accept the Atonement..for miscreations of the past. Only this can re-establish true single-mindedness. The structure of the psyche, as..you very correctly noted yourself, follows along the lines of the particular libido concept..the theorist employs. (I still think..it was the other way around - - HS.

Freud’s psyche was essentially..a good and evil picture,
with very heavy weight..given to the evil...This is because everytime I mentioned the Atonement to him, which..was quite often, he responded//by defending his theory more and more against it. This..resulted in his increasingly strong attempts to make the illogical sound more and more/logical...I was very sorry about this, because his..was a singularly good mind, and it was a..shame to waste it. However, the major purpose of his incarnation was not neglected. He DID succeed in forcing recognition of the unconscious into man’s calculations about..himself, a step in the right direction which should not be minimized. Freud was one of,,the most religious men I have known recently. Unfortunately, he was so afraid of religion..that the only way he could deal with it was to regard IT (not himself) as sick. This..naturally prevented healing..Freud’s superego is a particularly interesting example of the real power of miscreation...It is noteworthy throughout the whole development of his theories that the superego/never allied itself with freedom. The most it could do in this direction was to work out a..painful truce in which both opponents LOST. This perception could not fail to force him..to emphasize discontent in his view of civilization. The Freudian id is really only the more superficial level of the unconscious, and not/the deepest level at all..This, too, was inevitable, because Freud could not divorce miracles.from magic.[miracle] It was therefore his constant endeavor, (even preoccupation) to keep on..thrusting more and more material between consciousness and the real deeper level of..the unconscious, so that the latter became increasingly obscured. The result was a kind.of bedlam, in which there was no order, no control, and no sense. This was exactly how..he FELT about it. The later theoretical switch the primace of anxiety was an interesting device intended...to deny both the instinctive nature of destructiveness, and the force of the power of..miscreation. By placing the emphasis on the RESULT, the generative nature of the power..was minimized. Posted by one under god, Tuesday, 22 October 2013 12:44:18 PM

Destructive behavior IS instinctual. The instinct for creation is NOT obliterated in
miscreation. That is why it is always invested with reality. One of the chief ways in which man can correct his magic-miracle confusion is to remember that he did not create himself. He is apt to forget this when he becomes egocentric, and this places him in a position where belief in magic is virtually inevitable. His instincts for creation were given him by his own Creator, who was expressing the same instinct in His Creation. Since the creative ability rests solely in the mind, everything which man creates is necessarily instinctive. (This goes after basic conflict theory.) (Dictated without notes by HS) We have already said that the basic conflict is one between love and fear, and that the proper organization of the psyche rests on a lack of level confusion. The section on psychic energy should be re-read very carefully, because it is particularly likely to be misinterpreted until this section is complete. It has already been said that man CANNOT control fear, because he himself created it. His belief in it renders it out of his control by definition. For this reason, any attempt to resolve the basic conflict thru the concept of mastery of fear is meaningless. In fact, it asserts the power of fear by the simple assumption that it need be mastered at all. The essential resolution rests entirely on the mastery of love. In the interim, conflict is inevitable. The reason for this is the strangely illogical position in which man had placed himself. Since we have frequently emphasized that correction must be applied within the level that error occurs, it should be clear that the miracle MUST be illogical because its purpose is to correct the illogical and restore order. Two concepts which CANNOT coexist are nothing and everything. To whatever extent one is believed in, the other HAS BEEN abolished. In the conflict, fear is really nothing, and love is really everything. (This recognition is really the basis for the castration Posted by one under god, Tuesday, 22 October 2013 12:45:41 PM

complex.) This is because whenever light penetrates darkness, it DOES abolish it. The
unwillingness to be seen, or submit error to light, is spuriously associated with active doing. In this incarnation, this can take the form of oedipal involvement and concomitant castration anxiety. However, in more long range and meaningful terms, the oedipal complex is a miniature of the true Separation fear, and the castration complex is a way of denying that it ever occurred. Like all pseudo-solutions, this kind of distorted thinking is very creative, but false. The Separation HAS occurred. To deny this is merely to misuse denial. However, to concentrate on error is merely a further misuse of legitimate psychic mechanisms. The true corrective procedure, which has already been described as the proper use of the spiritual eye (or true vision), is to accept the error temporarily, but only as an indication that immediate correction is mandatory. This establishes a state of mind in which the Atonement can be accepted without delay. 64 http://miraclevision.com/acim/urtext/acim-urtext-2003-upe-ready-edition.pdf Posted by one under god, Tuesday, 22 October 2013 12:46:13 PM

without delay.
It is worth repeating that ultimately..there is no compromise possible between..everything and nothing...The purpose of time is essentially a device by which all..compromise in this respect can be abolished. It seems to be abolished by degrees precisely..because time itself involves a concept of intervals which does not really exist. The faulty/use of creation has made.this necessary as a corrective device...“And God so loved the world..that He gave his only begotten Son.so that whosoever..believeth..on Him shall/not perish* but..have Eternal Life” needs only one slight correction..to be entirely meaningful in this context...It should read “And God so loved the world that he gave it..TO His only begotten Son.” It should be noted that God HAS begotten only..*ONE Son. If you believe.that all of the Souls..that God created..ARE His Son,..and if you also believe..that..you..and his Sunship..*is One,..*then every Soul..*MUST be..a Sun/light..of God ,..or an integral part .of the Sonship. we are enjoined..living-MORTAL-HEIRS.. of all..of our immortal/eternal fathers estates CUSODIAN-ship* wartd-ship that ye..do to..the least..we do..to the most.

However, it is quite apparent that so to elect IS to believe in the existence of nothingness.
The correction of this error is the Atonement. We have already briefly spoken about readiness. But there are some additional awareness which might be helpful. Readiness is nothing more than the prerequisite for accomplishment. The two should not be confused. As soon as a state of readiness occurs, there is always some will to accomplish, but this is by no means undivided. The state does not imply more than the potential for a shift of will. Confidence cannot develop fully until mastery has been accomplished. We began this section with an attempt to correct the fundamental human error that fear can be mastered. The Correction was that ONLY love can be mastered. When I told you that you were “ready for Revelation”, I did not mean that you had in any way mastered this form of communication. However, you yourself attested to your readiness by insisting that I would not have said so if it had not been true. This IS an affirmation of readiness. Mastery of love necessarily involves a much more complete confidence in the ability than either of you has attained. But the readiness at least is an indication that you believe this is possible. This is only the beginning of confidence. In case this be misunderstood as a statement that an enormous amount of time will be necessary between readiness and mastery, I would again remind you that time and space are under My control. (Dictated without notes by HS) One of the chief ways in which man can correct his magic-miracle confusion is to remember that he did not create himself.

everything which man creates is necessarily instinctive.
It also follows that whatever he creates is real in his own eyes, but not necessarily in..the sight of God. This basic distinction leads us directly into the real meaning of the Last/Judgment. (I am aware of the fact that you would much rather continue with the parallels..involved in other theories of basic conflict. However, this would merely be a delay which.we will engage in only if you regard it as essential.) the Final Judgment is one of the..greatest.. the great concepts in man’s perception. This is only because he does not understand it. Judgment is not an essential attribute of God. Man brought judgment into being only because of the Separation. God Himself is still the God of mercy. After the Separation,..however, there WAS a place for justice in the schema, because it was one of the many..learning devices which had to be built into the overall plan. Just as the Separation occurred,over many millions of years, the Last Judgment will extend over a similarly long period, and perhaps even longer. Its length depends, however, on the effectiveness of the present speed-up. We have frequently noted that the miracle is a device for shortening but not..abolishing time. If a sufficient number of people become truly miracle-minded quickly,the shortening process can be almost immeasurable. But it is essential that these individuals free themselves from fear sooner than would ordinarily be the case, because they MUST emerge from basic conflict it they are to bring peace to the minds of others. The Last Judgment is generally thought of as a procedure undertaken by God. Actually, it will be undertaken solely by man, with My help. It is a Final Healing, rather than a meting out of punishment, however much man may think punishment is deserved. Punishment as a concept is in total opposition to Right-Mindedness. The aim of the Final Judgment is to RESTORE Right-Mindedness TO man. Posted by one under god, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 7:54:53 AM

The Final Judgment..might be..correctly/called..a process of Right-evaluation...
It simply means..that finally.*all men..must come to understand..of..what is worthy..[of/love]..and..what..is not. After this,..their ability/to..choose can be..reasonably directed.

He said, “I don’t want to join you,..but that’s ungracious,..so I’ll go.” Whenever ANY invitation/to join others..in a gracious way is offered, it should ALWAYS be met with respect, although..it need not always be accepted. However, if it is MET ungraciously..the resulting feeling may well be one of coercion...This is ALWAYS a split-will reaction. B. did not solve this by ACTING graciously. The lunch need not have entailed either..mental or physical strain for him, and no “need to escape” should have arisen. This was..a regression of the unprofitable kind...B. will continue to experience this need from time..to time, until he is willing to realize that there is nothing he needs..or wants to escape..from.

We had one version of our revered book, and we knew that this version was almost exactly as its scribe, Helen Schucman, heard it, straight from Jesus. [continues later reposted..in full here] http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=6040&page=0 Under "life issues," I am classing material on sex, homosexuality, selection of partners, the role of the teacher, and parents and children (one of the original miracle principles began with, "Miracles are a blessing from parents to children"23). Some of this material spoke to personal situations, but much of it discusses these issues in the abstract. So why was it taken out? She herself gave this impression in the Course's preface: Only a few minor changes have been made. Chapter titles and subheadings have been inserted in the Text, and some of the more personal references that occurred at the beginning have been omitted. Otherwise the material is substantially unchanged. Then everything changed. In January of 2000, an earlier version of the Course, called the Hugh Lynn Cayce Version, was disseminated on the Internet. Later in that same year, an even earlier version, called the Urtext, also became available on the Internet..Both versions showed that the Course..as we knew it had gone through..a far more extensive editing process than anyone..had suspected. A huge amount of material has been removed..from the notes that Helen originally took down. We know at least 6,000 words.never made it out of her notebooks,..and there may have been many more. And there are an additional 35,000..words that never made it from the Urtext into the standard Course... What was removed? Posted by one under god, Friday, 25 October 2013 9:02:22 AM

While..before..we felt..the comfort of knowing..that our scripture, unlike.so many others,..was free of human influence,..we now began to wonder..how much of the Course..was altered by human editors.
We also wondered..which was the.."true" version...Indeed,..the Hugh Lynn Cayce Version..was quickly..published under..the rather in-your-face..title Jesus'..Course in Miracles..(and just as quickly..became unavailable..due to a court..injunction). Two running/topics are notable...First,..there are several lengthy discussions of Freud,..pointing out the strengths..and weaknesses of his system and..at times,.of his character. Second,.there is an ongoing presentation..(running through the first four chapters)..of the levels..of the mind. In this model,..the conscious mind..*is sandwiched between the superconscious..(heavenly knowledge)..and a two-layer/subconscious, with..*an upper level..*dominated by fear,..*and a lower level filled with pure..miracle-working ability. Impulses from all/three non-permanently/conscious levels..try to stream into the conscious mind,..but are often blocked by the "censor"..[unbiden fears/within..each..of our minds]..or distorted by the fear-filled upper subconscious. Some impulses..make it in,..though,..and the *conscious mind..must choose between them...[love or fear...dear] The most notable..[touchy]..of these life/issues is sex, which is discussed repeatedly...By the HLC,..however,..all such discussions had been removed..or reworded so as not to mention sex...Yet this is not personal material;*it is abstract teaching. Indeed, Jesus says..that this material is crucial for all miracle workers:.."I want to finish..the instructions about sex,..because this is an area..the miracle worker must understand."24 What does Jesus say about sex? In essence,..he says the sex drive..itself must finally be uprooted, for our attraction..to physical-bodies essentially..turns people into objects...[OBJECTIFICATION..creates delusion] Once..the drive..has been uprooted..(which I consider..a very advanced state),.we see the only purpose.of sex as to bring children into the world..for learning opportunities...and as mutually obigated responability communion]. This may..appear to be saying,.."Control your behavior..so that you only have sex..for procreation."..*However,..Jesus says the answer is not simply..controlling yourself...Instead,.."the underlying mechanism must be uprooted."26 We must reach a place..[beyond time]..[ideally]..where we just don't find..*bodies..that obsessively/attractive anymore...I personally see this as consistent..with the later Course,..which talks about "when the body..ceases to attract you." (T-15.IX.7:1) What happens to sex..when you have..zero attraction..to someone's body? Religious..and theological material Material..has been removed..that discusses angels, fallen angels,..Lucifer,..reincarnation,..karma,.spirit possession, speaking ..in tongues,..witchcraft,.auras,.and Christian Science.

A number..of clear theological/statements
have also been deleted,..including two mentions of the soul's three functions..(knowing, loving, and creating)..and theological statements..about the Father..and the Son..(for example, "In the Divine psyche,..the Father and the Holy Spirit ..are not incomplete at all. The Sonship..has the unique faculty..of believing in error, or incompleteness"27)...All references to meditation..and most of the references to prayer..have been removed. Also removed..are a number of pages..of commentary on the teachings of Edgar Cayce,..which came because Bill and Helen..were reading the Cayce material..*at the time There are a whole host of other things that have been deleted, which I will simply class under "miscellaneous specifics." These include intellectual and literary references, including some brief discussions of mathematics and a bold interpretation of the real meaning of Don Quixote. There are many references to common expressions, such as "think big," and "live and let live." There are references to several individuals. I've mentioned most of these, but we can add Descartes and Jean Dixon (the astrologer) to the list. And finally, there is the following list of miscellaneous specifics: the Holocaust, daylight saving time, the CIA, sex crimes, kleptomania, bankruptcy, gambling, alcoholism, eyesight problems, alchemy, cryogenics, wars, money, voting, educational exams, ESP, and the psychological significance of names. As you can see, far more than personal material was taken out. The real target was specifics. Virtually anything that was specific, concrete, or down-to-earth was removed.

Line-by-line editing
There..is,..as mentioned,..copious..line-by-line editing. The sheer volume..of it takes..one aback,..as we are..accustomed to thinking/of the words..of the Course..as straight from Jesus. The following/example..will give you a sense/of the line-by-line editing..I suggest you read it..in two ways. First,..read down..each column. http://www.circleofa.org/library/acim-history-issues/copyright/earlier-versions/ Then,..read across-reading..each line as it evolves..through..the different versions. Urtext#...Hugh Lynn Cayce/...Standard Course* You..now share..my inability#..As you share.. *my inability/..As you share..my unwillingness to..tolerate..the lack/of love#../..to tolerate lack of love *to..accept error in yourself..and..in.everyone else,#.. /in..yourself and..others,...*in..yourself...and others, and must/join#/you must/join..*you..must/join the/Great-Crusade..to correct it.# the/Great/Crusade.to correct it. *the/great*crusade..to correct it; The..slogan/for this..Crusade..is."Listen,..Learn,.and Do."# /The.slogan/for..the Crusade..is.."Listen,.learn,..and do;"— *..This..means Listen..to My-Voice..Listen..to my-voice,..listen..to my voice, #..Learn to..*undo..the error,#,../learn..to undo..error//*learn..to undo error.. #and..do something..to..correct it./and..do.something..to.correct it..29..*and..act..to correct it..(T-1.III.1:6) #The..first..two..are not enough... /The..real members..of my party...are active workers..28 This brief example..contains..almost all..of the important..characteristics..of..the line-by-line..editing: Lots..of editing...The..sheer/volume..of changes..is striking. Out of..68 words,.45..*words have..been changed..(removed,/replaced, added,/or...de-emphasized). Faithful...?The editors..have clearly..tried very hard..to be faithful.to the meaning of the original...It is..difficult..to detect a.significant/change..in meaning. Slight/alterations..in meaning?..While there..are..no significant changes..in the..superficial-meaning*..of our passage,..there are some..slight..alterations...[of emphasis] In..the standard/version,..you join..the great crusade.. because..you have..become unwilling..to accept/error..(or..lack..of love/or..over/fearing..anything]). In..the original/version,..however,..both..your joining..the Great Crusade..and*..your unwillingness..to accept..lack of love..come from the fact..that/you have.."been restored..to..your original state"..where..*all fear..is illusion.. (from..the line..preceding..our/passage)... That's..a very minor..alteration...Slightly more significant..is the downplaying of behavior..in the editing..of..the final lines...This is a consistent/pattern..in the editing..which I will discuss below. Less lively,..more tame.[erantly/safe] After editing,..the material..is generally..less lively and spirited. In the original,..you become unable..to tolerate..the..lack of..fearless-love...In the standard version,..however,..you become merely unwilling*..to accept error. There is..an insistent,..emphatic note..in the original that is..consistently softened..by the editing...This makes the Course sound..more remote,..more tame. Set..next to..the original,..it feels sanitized. Less specific...The removal.of..specifics..takes place on a line-by-line basis...You can see..that here...The Crusade no longer has a "slogan,".and there is no longer..a "party"..with "workers." The familiar..cultural image..of a political party..on a crusade, with busy workers..chanting their slogan,..has been taken out. More vague.. Although..the meaning.of our passage h..as not been changed,..it is somewhat less apparent...For instance,..we now may wonder what.."act to correct"..error means. Does this mean..physical action? The original,..however.. leaves no doubt: "do something..to correct it…. http://www.circleofa.org/library/acim-history-issues/copyright/earlier-versions/ Posted by one under god, Friday, 25 October 2013 9:51:16 AM

The original,..however,..leaves no doubt:
"do something..to correct it…..The real members..of my party are active workers." Yes,..jesus is talking..about physical action. Another reason..for loss of clarity..is the removal of emphasis As our passage evolves,..the emphasized words..go from eight to zero. While the lessening..of emphasized words..(a trend throughout the editing)..is stylistically..*practical,..the emphasis/definitely enhances..clarity...[at expence..of act/deed/work..its been..subverted into..academical..[theory]..not life application[fact]! I..have found..many passages..where knowing a particular word..was originally emphasized..unlocks the whole meaning..*of the passage. There are..three other aspects..of the line-by-line editing..which I'll discuss. The first is..editing to harmonize..the meaning of passages..with the later Course-part..of the process..of correcting scribal errors. The chief..examples of this..are the following: * All..(six).references to..the celestial speedup..have been removed. * All (seven)..references..to the Record, which seems similar..to the Akashic records,..have been removed. * As mentioned above,..good-behavior..[v]..miss-behavior has been systematically..downplayed...In the first five chapters, references..to "behavior"..and "behave"..drop from 68..in the Urtext to 20..in the standard Course. All (five)..references..to the "doer".have been removed. In Chapter 9,..the line.."This course..is a guide to behavior".has been removed. I assume..all this..was done to fit/with the Course's emphasis on thought..rather than behavior...However,..I think these changes are inappropriate,..*since behavior*..remains important.throughout the Course,..*despite the word being rarely used. * Some of..the very first references...to the Holy Spirit..(in Chapter 5)..speak of Him..as an "it"..that is simply.."your own right mind,"..rather than as.a "He" Who.."abides in…your mind." (C-6.4:1) These references..have been changed..to read like the later Course. * In the early Urtext,..the world is sometimes characterized as being..made by the Divine..in response to the separation,.as a teaching device..to lead us out of the separation. In the later Course,..the world is the direct..manifestation of the separation,..although the Holy Spirit..*uses it as a teaching device. Because of..this discrepancy..(which may have come from the influence of the Edgar Cayce material,..which Helen was reading at the time of the early dictation),..four of these early references have been softened. For example: SEE LINK Posted by one under god, Friday, 25 October 2013 10:10:01 AM

Compressed.into..obscure academical-abstraction
<<..the instructions..that Jesus..gave for..the editing.were as follows: * If..what..you write..is so personal that it..cannot benefit others,..take it out. * If you take..down scribal errors,..correct them. key-source/text http://www.circleofa.org/library/acim-history-issues/copyright/earlier-versions/ The editing..results in fewer..and fewer words. [bigger and bigger destractions]..We go..from..68 words..(Urtext) to 47 (HLC)..to 34 (standard Course). The/same ideas..get compressed..into a smaller..and smaller space. One unfortunate..result of this..is that,./quite often, ideas which you originally..had time..to digest,.now come too fast for..you to..adequately take in. [EN-VISION} More formal,..less conversational..and plainspoken. Overall,..the editing..seems designed..to make the early Course sound less informal..and..less/conversational...If you read the first and last versions..of our passage above,..you can feel the difference. For..another example,..a line that originally read, "You and Bill..have been afraid of God,..of me,..of yourselves, and of practically..everyone you know..at one time or another"30 becomes simply,.."You have been fearful.of everyone and everything." (T-2.VII.3:4) The early Course..now reads less like..someone talking and more, in fact,..like the loftiness..of the later Course...The question is, which is better? There are times..when I prefer..the edited passages, but most of the time I prefer..the plainspoken original. ME TOO.. http://miraclevision.com/acim/urtext/acim-urtext-2003-upe-ready-edition.pdf I like being spoken..to in a clear,..down-to-earth way in the early chapters,..before the Course lifts off into the stratospheric..tone of the later material. Mostly unnecessary...If you will, go back..and read the first version..of our passage. Then ask yourself,..what is wrong with it? How much editing..does it really need?..Does it need any? I personally don't think..it needs much editing,..if any. In fact,..I prefer it..to either of the edited versions. Now this is not true..of all the Urtext passages./Many of them are very rough and..obviously need cleaning up...However, my opinion is that most..of the line-by-line editing..was unnecessary. Think about Jesus' instructions. He said remove personal/material..and correct scribal errors. Does the editing..in our passage fit either of..those rules? Editing..to make content..Course-consistent (in the opinion of..the editors) Editing errors It would be hard..to do so much line-by-line editing..and not make an occasional mistake. Indeed, a number of unambiguous errors—changes..in the meaning of the original—have crept into the material..(I count 27 in the first two chapters). Here are a few examples:[see link] Posted by one under god, Friday, 25 October 2013 10:21:20 AM

PERSONAL-Revelation..induces/complete..but..temporary
suspension..of doubt..and fear..It..reflects the..original form/of communication..between God..and His..creations, involving..the extremely personal..sense of creation sometimes sought..in physical..relationships...Physical closeness cannot/achieve it..Miracles,..however, a..re genuinely interpersonal, and result..in true-closeness to..others. P.Revelation...unites you..*directly..with God. Miracles..unite..you directly..with..your brother. Neither emanates..from..consciousness, but..both..are experienced*..there. Consciousness..is the state..that..induces action,..though it does/not inspire it..You are free..to believe..what you choose,..and what..you do*..attests to what..you believe. 2 Revelation..is intensely-personal and..cannot..be meaningfully/translated...to..other That is why..any attempt..to describe it..in words is impossible. Revelation..*induces..only experience. Miracles,..on the other hand,..induce action. They are more useful..now because of.their interpersonal nature...In this phase of learning,..working miracles.is important..because freedom..[from fear..]..cannot..be thrust upon you. Revelation..is literally unspeakable..because it is..an lived-experiencing..of unspeakable love. "This Course..Is a Guide..to Behavior" 3.Awe should..be reserved..for revelation, [not that revealed..but..our..revealer;..god]..to which..it is perfectly..and correctly..applicable... It is not appropriate..for miracles..because a..state of awe...is worshipful,..implying..that one..of..a lesser order..[under]-stands..before his Creator. You are..of/by..for..a perfect-creation,..and should experience awe only..in the presence of..the Creator of..all..perfection's. The miracle..is therefore a sign...of love..among equals. Whenever..we want we..can CHOOSE..to..hit the fast/forward button. This happens..by accepting..a miracle,.which allows us to jump..past a batch of scenes..and more quickly.reach the happy ending..(see T-1.II.6). This theory ..of time can sound..nothing short/of bizarre. Yet it is..not nearly..as implausible..as it sounds at first. The Course points..to the very nature..of time itself..as evidence..for its theory. from http://www.circleofa.org/library/acim-commentary/text-commentary/commentary-on-the-little-hindrance/ Time is composed of cycles, rhythms, repetitions; the cycle of the days and nights, the tides, the seasons. When we look..closer at these cycles,..we see that each one is composed,..in essence,..of a single repeating..pulse..of rhythms/cycles..[via sympathetic harmonic/reverberation]..unending cycle..of beginnings/endings..of birth and re-birth.. but..not ever..death. [E=infinite..E] Each cycle..springs up with..a fresh burst of life, and then sinks/down..into the deterioration..of death...At any given moment our body..is undergoing countless..such..begining[rejuvination/expiry endings]..pulses, as old cells..die off[subsumed]..and new cells are..born..into duel form,..or..as new air..is inhaled..[absorbed]....and..old air exhaled.[excreted].

since it is just a game,..why not use it constructively?
What does it mean..to use time.."constructively"? I have a special fondness..for the word "constructive." If we could all..just be constructive,..wouldn't the world be a far better place?..Jesus,..too,.seemed a bit fond..of the word. It..("constructive"...and.."constructively")..crops up..sixteen times in the Urtext,..even if only six..of those..made it into the final Course. Based on..those references, what does it..mean to Jesus..to be.."constructive." In most cases,..it means to..give miracles...For instance, Jesus calls becoming..a miracle worker..a reinstatement of the mind's "purely/constructive powers"..(T-2.V.5:4). He even..explicitly calls miracles.."constructive acts"..(T-2.VI.1:2)...A secondary meaning..is that.."constructive" is something..that moves you..forward..in your own learning...[via..awareness;revelation..121..direct from..our father] For example,..Jesus speaks..of using his.."experiences constructively"..(T-6.I.11:3),..by which..he means applying..*the lesson..of his crucifixion..to your life..in a helpful[good/godly/loving,,constructive manner [bearing good fruits]..not reinforcing illusion/negativity/fear..[bad fruits]..rather..than..unhelpful way..of fear..we chose the miracle..of love of other] .He..also says..that sorting out..the true/from the false is.."a process of separation/reinforcement..in..the constructive sense"..(T-2.VIII.4:2). The principle..of separation..is usually destructive, but this..particular//[loving]..fearless..application..of it is actually constructive. In other words,..to be constructive..is to do*..something..that advances others..in their journey home..(by giving them miracles..[love/grace/mercy) or-else..this deliberated lack..advances yourself..on your own journey..and its end-time/fruits..(by moving forward your learning). The dictionary..meaning of.."constructive" is "serving..to improve..or advance;...helpful." Jesus..has modified..this meaning..to fit his system, so that it..becomes.."serving to advance..us all..toward eternity." This,..apparently,..is what we..should spend our days doing—advancing others..and thus..ourselves..on the journey home. As long as..we are..choosing..illusion..of/in..a world of unreality, why..not spend our time..helping ourselves..and others back to..the next..reality? "You might remember..that 'underneath..are..the Everlasting Arms.'" This/is..actually..a biblical reference. It comes..from Deuteronomy 33:27: "The eternal God..[eternal good]..is thy refuge, and underneath..are the everlasting arms." [fear-free/revelation/performed..good-miracles] On..the surface,..this doesn't seem..particularly related to the previous sentence,..but on closer inspection..it is intimately related. Both sentences..describe a remedy to..the crippling..mortal-change..and its..uncertainty of time. While..we seem blown..and buffeted about..by the winds of time,..we can stand firm..on an unshakable foundation..*outside of time. That unshakable..eternal..infinite/omnipresent.. presence present..pre-sent..foundation..becomes our refuge, making us..immovably..of the heart revelation/elation even,..in the midst of..illusory fears.. inherent..in/the mortal/morality..of the life-time's raging storm...between..the fear..of our passions..our enjoined greatness.. whether or not..the yielding goodly fruit.. in-to..not seeing the splinter..for the plank.. nor harvest..of splinters..[so..that the sleepers awake] Posted by one under god, Saturday, 26 October 2013 2:15:42 PM

While we seem blown and buffeted about..by
the winds of time,..we can stand firm.on an unshakable foundation outside of time. That unshakable foundation..[fear free-revelation]becomes our refuge, making us..immovable..even..in the midst of the time's raging storm. In the previous sentence,..that foundation was eternity. But..in the biblical allusion..of our current sentence,.."eternity" has morphed..into.."the eternal God."[him..ALL/good][via revelation] Now,..our safety[mirac;le]..lies..in more..than the something..vaguely..impersonal..like eternity;..it lies in the Love[miracle]..and protection of a Person.[via revelation..directly from good [if its not good..its not of god.. [know thy..master..goods..good voice it is,..appropriate..to say that..God is personal God..may not have..the boundaries—the ego,..personality, and body—form..we associate with..the personal godhead/in person-hood,..but He does have..the freewill..of Self, [in all self]...awareness...in/all ..Mind..[miracle]..,.. in/all-Heart,//[revelation]..and by..conscious/CONSTRUCTIVE..Will we also..associate..alone..[all-one]..[with person-hood..but one step..from..realized good-hood][son..of the sun].. . I think..it is most accurate,/therefore, to call Him..a Person,..with the capital."P" signifying the lack/of..the usual boundaries and limits. This biblical/reference..is another foreshadowing..of the later Course...The Course..loves..to reference the Bible,..and in the process consistently turns the relevant biblical passage..into a statement..of the Course's own teaching. That is exactly..what we see..here...Obviously, the author of Deuteronomy,..in writing..about the eternal God..and the Everlasting Arms,..was not thinking..that only eternity is real..and time is an illusion. I find that..phrase "underneath are..the Everlasting Arms".so evocative. One of our most..emotionally resonant images..of safety is being held in..the arms of a loving and protective parent...Here,..that image has been immensely..elevated and expanded...The parent becomes God. The fleeting embrace..becomes something permanent,..as implied by the word.."Everlasting."..The support of those,,reve4latary/miraculous..Arms..becomes our foundation,..as implied..by the word "underneath." And this unshakable..foundation of love..and protection./.from fear..becomes our stable.."refuge"..in the midst/of the swirling river of time...What a beautiful idea. Jesus referred..to.."the Everlasting Arms" four times..in the early dictation..Now we know why. Notice,..however,..that this is..more than just an idea. It is..self realized..practice...When Jesus says,.."You might remember..that 'underneath are..the Everlasting Arms,'"..we have to see that..in the context of.."Have a good day.

We need to see it..as part of this larger instruction
for having..truthfully..a good god-day...What he really means, then,..is to remind yourself..*of this thought..throughout the day, as a way..to have..that oh..so..great/ go god..have a..goodly day. This is..especially clear..in looking back on this..with from the perspective of..the later Workbook. There,.the notion of remembering..a certain quotation throughout the day,..in order to have..a truly happy day, is absolutely central...We are often told to.."remember this [lesson] throughout the day"..(W-pI.78.10:1), or to "remember..to PRACTICE..it..very often today"..(W-pI.63.3:1). start..with a smile..We do this in order..to have..a happy day,..as we can see..from the following passage: <<..Let us be glad to begin and end this day by practicing today's idea, and to use it as frequently as possible throughout the day. It will help to make the day as happy for you as God wants you to be. (W-pI.62.4:1-2)>> <<..he following quotation even looks a great deal like the sentence under examination. Both ask us to remember throughout the day that Divine strength constantly supports us: We will remind ourselves..that He remains..beside us al-through the day,..and never leaves..our weakness.unsupported by His strength...by his living/loving-will..(W-pI.153.19:4) Thus,..what we have..in the admonition.to.."remember that 'underneath are the Everlasting Arms'"..is a kind of proto-Workbook practice.[actual_doing] Just as the Workbook..asks us to repea.. a particular Course quote throughout the day..in order to have a happy day. so this sentence asks us..to remember a particular Bible/quote..*throughout the day in order..to have a good day.>> <<..While in time,..it seems..that the ground..is constantly quaking beneath..our feet,.giving us..no safe place to stand...Yet inside ourselves,..we can stand on ETERNAL-holy-ground..that never shakes. We..choose...to stand on..changeless//loving/grace-filled/ground, far removed..from the fickle caprice..of..EITHER..space,,or time.

The/world,..in its..original-connotation,..included..both
the proper/creation..of..man_by/God,..AND..the proper/creation..by man.in his..Right-Mind...The latter..required..the endowment/of man by God..with free/will,..because..all..loving/creation..is freely given. Nothing..in either/of..these statements..implies..any sort/of level involvement,.or,..in fact,..anything..except one-continuous line..of creation,..in which all aspects..of creation..are/of..the same order...[all created/equally..] When..the..“lies of/the serpent”..were introduced, they were..specifically..called lies/because..they..are not true. thus..When man listened,..all he heard...was untruth...He does/not have-to.continue..to believe..what is/not true,..*unless./he chooses to do so. All of..his/miscreations..can disappear..in the well/known “twinkling of/an.eye”,..*because..it is..a visual*misperception. Man’s spiritual/eye..can sleep,..but..as will/shortly appear..in the notes.. (reference..Bob/elevator operator) even..a sleeping/spiritual..eye can..still see. One translation..of the Fall,..a view emphasized/by Mary Baker Eddy, and..worthy of note*[as an..educative/stimuli]...is that..“a deep/sleep..fell.upon Adam”... While/the Bible..continues..to associate...this sleep as..a kind of spiritual/seeing-anaesthetic..being/utilized for..protection/of Adam..during..the creation..of Eve,..[Mrs. Eddy..was correct/in..emphasizing..that nowhere/is there;;any reference made..to his..waking_up.

In this statement..lies the real-justification..for his escape..from fear...[blocking your/revelation].. This is brought/about..by his acceptance..of the Atonement,.. which places..him in a position..to realize that/EVEN..his own/errors..never really occurred...by your freewill. When..the deep/sleep.fell upon Adam,..he was then in a..*condition to experience/nightmares,..precisely..*because..he was sleeping...If a light..is suddenly turned-on..while/someone is dreaming,..and the content..of his dream is fearful,.he is initially likely to/interpret..the light itself..as part of..the content/of..his own dream. *However,..as soon as..he/awakens,..the light..is correctly perceived..as the release..from the dream,..which is no longer/accorded..reality. I would/like-to..conclude this/with the Biblical..injunction..of..“Go ye/and do..likewise.” It..is quite apparent..that this depends/on..the kind of knowledge which..was/NOT..referred toby the “..Tree of Knowledge”..[of good and evil]..which bore lies..as fruit.

Sunday/Nov..20
Special/Principles..for miracle workers. 1...The miracle..[of the mind]..abolishes..the need.. for lower order concerns...Since it is an illogical,..or out-of-pattern /time interval,..by definition,..the ordinary considerations..of time..and space/do not apply. For example,.I do NOT..regard/time as you..and B. do,..and Kolb’s..space-problem is/NOT mine...When YOU perform..a miracle,..I will arrange..both time..and space..to adjust to/it...[miracles..only..occur..via-heart/cloud-mind/revelation] . 2. Clear distinction/between..what..HAS BEEN Created and..what..*IS BEING created is/essential...ALL forms..of correction (or healing)..rest on this..clear/fundamental..correction..in heart/mind-level..of perception. 3...Another way..of stating 2).is : NEVER confuse..right-with wrong-mindedness. Responding*..[recall/we need..do nuthing]..to ANY form..of miscreation..*with anything..EXCEPT..a DESIRE TO HEAL..the error (desire/for..a miracle)..is an/expression..of/this confusion. 4...The miracle..is ALWAYS a DENIAL of..perceived-error,..and is merely..an affirmation..of..the truth.[good/gifted freely..of..god.] Only.Right-Mindedness..CAN create..in a way that..has any real..positive/corrective-effect. Pragmatically,..what/has..no real effect,..also.has no real existence...Its REAL effect,..then,..is emptiness...of emotive responses[beyond baseless fear].. by..Being without/substantial content,..it lends itself..to negative-projection. 5...The level-adjustment/power..of the miracle creates..the right..mindful/perception..repletion..for healing. Until this..modification..has occurred,..healing cannot be understood. Forgiveness..is an empty gesture,/unless it..entails correction.[acts of redemption..done with.freewill..and..open-heart..for other..[not 4 self] Without/this,..it is essentially..judgmental, ill-judged..[hurtful]..rather than healing. 6...Miraculous forgiveness..is..the..ONLY correction. It..has..no element..of judgment..within..or of it..at all. “Father forgive them..for they know/..not what they do”..in NO way EVALUATES..what they/injuriously/hurtfully..chose to do. It/is..strictly limited..to an appeal..to God to HEAL..our perception..of their minds...There is no reference to/the outcome..of their[or our]..misthought. THIS does..not matter. 7...The Biblical/injunction..of..“Be of/one mind” is the statement..for//preparation..of heart/mind..for cloud-mind/REVELATION..readiness. My OWN injunction..“Do this..in remembrance of me” is..the request..for/cooperation..in..the wills..of..miracle-workers. It should/be..noted that..the two statements.are not..in the/same order..of reality,..because..the latter involves a time..awareness,..since memory implies..ignoring..the present/present..by..recalling the..PAST into..the present. Time..is under..MY direction, but Timelessness..belongs to God alone. In time,..we/exist for..and with each other... In Timelessness,..we coexist..with God. There/is..one more point..which must/be made..perfectly clear before..any residual fear/which may still..be associated..with miracles..becomes.entirely groundless. The..Crucifixion..did NOT establish/the Atonement. The..Resurrection-did.*..This is/a..point which..many very sincere/Christians..have misunderstood...*Nobody..who/was..free of.the/scarcity-fallacy..could..POSSIBLY have/made.this mistake. If/the..Crucifixion is-seen..from..an/upside-down..point/of..view, it..certainly does/appear..*AS IF*..God permitted,..and even encouraged,..*one of his Sons..to suffer/BECAUSE.he was good. Many/very..devoted ministers..preach this..every-day. This..particularly/unfortunate-interpretation,..which actually arose..out/of..the combined misprojection..of-a large number/of my own..would-be followers.. has led..too/many people to/be..bitterly afraid-of..God.

many people..tend..to/be..bitterly afraid..of God.
[others bitterly resent..the church..and have denied..good] This particularly..anti-religious/concept..happens to.enter into..many messengers/religions.and/this is..neither by chance.nor coincidence. The/real..Christian would/have*..to pause and.ask..“how could/this be?”..Is/it likely.. that..God Himself..would be capable/of..the kind of thinking..which..*His..*own Words..have/clearly stated..is unworthy..of man? (There are/times..when)..The best defense, as always,..is NOT*..to attack another’s/position,..but rather to protect..the truth... It is/not necessary..to consider..anything acceptable..if/you have to..turn..a whole..frame/of..reference around..in-order/to..justify it. This procedure/is..painful in..its minor applications, and genuinely-tragic..on a mass basis...*Persecution is a frequent result,..justifying/the..terrible misperception...that God Himself..maliciously/judgmentally..persecuted His/own Son..on behalf of salvation. The very words..are meaningless. It..has always been.particularly difficult to overcome..this because,..although the error itself..is no harder..to overcome..than any other/error men were unwilling..to give it/up..because of..its prominent escape value. In milder/forms,..a parent says..“This hurts me more than it hurts you,”..and feels..thus..exonerated..in beating..a helpless-child. Can you..believe..that our/Father..REALLY thinks..this way? It is/so..essential*..that all such..thinking be dispelled..that we must be*VERY sure..that/NOTHING of this kind..remains-in/or renters..back into..your mind. *I..was NOT punished..because YOU were/bad. The wholly benign/lesson..which the..Atonement teaches is wholly..lost..*if it/is tainted..with this kind of distortion..*in ANY form. “Vengeance..is Mine/sayeth the Lord” is strictly..a karmic viewpoint...It is ..a real misperception..of..the true/truth,..by which man..assigns..his own evil/past..unto God. *The..“evil-conscience”..from the past.. has nothing..to do..with God...He did/not create it,..and..He does/not maintain it...God..*does NOT believe..in karmic retribution..at all. His Divine-mind..does/not..miss-create..in/that way. HE..does not hold..the evil deeds/of..a man even against HIMSELF. It/is likely,..then,..that He/would hold..against any man..the evil that..(*ANOTHER did? Be..very sure* that..you recognize..how impossible this..ABSURD..assumption really is,..and how ENTIRELY*..it arises..from..well/past..misprojection. This kind/of error..is responsible..for a host of related fallacies..including the..*misbelief..that God rejected man..and forced/him..out of the..Garden of Eden,..or that I am..even/now..thought..to-be..misdirecting you. I..have made..every effort..to use words which..are ALMOST*..impossible..to distort,[but by authoritative edit/deliberative editing]..but the..fear in/man..is very..inventive when it comes..to/twisting symbols around. God/Himself.is not symbolic;..was..never man.. He..*is..all-FACT...all-cause.[light..sustaining/life..via logic] The Atonement,..too,.is..totally/without..symbolism. [at-one-meant]..It is perfectly clear,;.because it exists..with/in light...Only man’s/attempts..to shroud/it..in darkness..have/made it inaccessible..to the..unwilling,..and ambiguous/to..the partly/willing. *The Atonement/itself..radiates..nothing/but..truth. It..therefore epitomizes..loving/harmlessness,..and sheds ONLY blessing...It could/not..do this..if-it/arose...from anything/other than..perfect/good/pure..innocence! Innocence..is wisdom,..because it is.. perfectly..unaware of evil,..which/does/not exist...outside..itself. It is,..however,..PERFECTLY aware/of..EVERYTHING,..that is..true. The Resurrection..demonstrated*..that NOTHING/can..destroy truth. innocent/Good..can withstand..ANY form/of..evil,.. because..*light..abolishes..*ALL forms/of..darkness.

Cayce..and.his devotion..to me are..in..no way..underestimated by the..realization..that/he worked..under very/great strain,..which is..ALWAYS..a sign/that something.is wrong... [important-point..when..its right.. it..flows..smoothly..but if it resists.. rethink..its necessity..[or..motivation..or timing] One..of the difficulties/inherent..in trance/states..is that..it/is.very/difficult..to overcome..the/split-[mind]..which//the trance itself..induces..through..the medium..['s.. communications..made while/in..the trance state.] Cayce’s/whole approach..put him..in..a..real double-bind, from which..he/did=..not recover...When..he spoke..of a dream..in which..he fore-saw..his own..rather..immanent/reincarnation,..he was perfectly-accurate. He was..sufficiently/attuned..to.,.real-communication to..make it..easy/to..correct..his errors,..and free..him..to communicate..without strain. It..is/noticeable..throughout..his notes..that/he..frequently engaged..in a..fallacy..that..we have/already noted..in..some detail: namely,..*the/tendency..to endow.the physical/*with non-physical properties. Cayce..suffered/greatly..from/this..error. He..did/not..make..either of..the other/three...However, you..will/remember..that.it is..this/one..which..is particularly vulnerable..to/magical[misscreated/associations.

It..should also/be..noted that,.when Cayce..attempted to..“see”..the body/in..proper/perspective,..he saw physically discernible-auras..surrounding it.

What..DID hamper..him was a/profound-sense..of personal unworthiness,..which,/characteristically enough,..was sometimes..over-compensated/for..in what might-be called..a Christian/form.of grandiosity. Cayce..was essentially/uncharitable..to himself. This..made him.very erratic..in his/own..miracles, and,..because he/was..genuinely anxious.to help others,..left/himself in..a highly/vulnerable..position.

Once/this..had occurred,..particularly..in/a man..whose communication-channels..were open,..it/was..virtually/impossible..for him..to escape/external solutions. Cayce/was..a very..religious-man,..who should/have..been/able to ..escape fear..through religion...but..Being/unable..to apply his..religion/wholeheartedly..to himself,..he was/forced..to accept certain..magical-beliefs..which were..alien to/his..own Christianity. This..is why..he was/so..different..when he was asleep,..and even disowned..what he said/in this state.

In considering..the body..as the focus..*for healing, Cayce..was expressing..his own failure/to accept..this AS..already..ACCOMPLISHED.

It..is also..one of/the..many reasons..why regarding..the Cayce material,..a major step..in/the speedup,.[of revelation.. must be..properly/understood..before..it can/be..meaningfully validated.

Perception, miracles and doing are closely related. Knowledge is a result of revelation,
and induces only thought (thinking). Perception involves the body even in its most spiritualized form. Knowledge comes from the altar within, and is timeless because it is certain. To perceive the truth is not the same as KNOWING it. This is why B. is having so much trouble in what he calls “integrating” the notes. His tentative perception is too uncertain for knowledge, because knowledge is SURE. Your perception is so variable that you swing from sudden but real knowledge to complete cognitive disorganization. This is why B. is more prone to irritation, while you are more vulnerable to rage. He is consistently BELOW his potential, while you achieve it at times and then swing very wide of the mark. Actually, these differences do not matter. But I thought you might be glad to learn that you are much better off with DIFFERENT perceptual problems than you would be if you suffered from similar ones. T his enables each of you to RECOGNIZE (and this is the right word here) that the misperceptions of the other are unnecessary. It is because you do not KNOW what to do about it that B. reacts to yours with irritation, and you respond to his with fury. I repeat again that if you ATTACK error, you will hurt yourself. You do not RECOGNIZE each other when you attack. Attack is ALWAYS made on a stranger. You are making him a stranger by misperceiving him, so that you CANNOT know him. It is BECAUSE you have made him into a stranger that you are afraid of him. PERCEIVE him correctly, so that you Soul can KNOW him. Right perception is necessary before God can communicate DIRECTLY to his own altars, which he has established in His Sons. There he can communicate His certainty, and His KNOWLEDGE will bring the peace WITHOUT question. Posted by one under god, Tuesday, 29 October 2013 7:24:05 AM

God is not..a stranger..to His Own
Suns,..and..His Sons..are not*..to-be..strangers to each other. Knowledge preceded..both perception and time, and will also..ultimately replace..(or correct/for).them. This is the real meaning.of the Biblical account of God as..“Alpha and Omega,/the Beginning and the End.” It also explains..the quotation.“Before Abraham..WAS,..I AM.” Perception can...and must_be stabilized,..but knowledge IS stable. “Fear God..and keep His Commandments”..is a real scribal error. It should read,..“KNOW God and accept His/certainty.” (This error..is why..the commandments..are all negative,.. in contrast to Christ’s/statement..about..“Thou shalt love”,.etc.).. There are no strangers..in His Creation.[so..why..in/his fathers/houses?] To create/as He Created, you can create..only what you KNOW..and accept as yours...to create. God knows His Children[pro-creation]..with perfect certainty...He pre-Created..them by knowing them...*firstly..He thus..recognizes them perfectly. When they do-not recognize..each other, they do not-recognize Him... Brothers can misperceive..one another, but they rarely maintain.that they/do not..even..KNOW each other. This is possible..only if they maintain..that they are NOT really brothers.* The Bible is..VERY specific..on this point[why are/you not?] Most of the abilities..man now possesses..are only shadows..of his real strengths...The/Soul knows,.loves, and creates...These are/its unequivocal functions... All of the functions/of man are equivocal,..or open-to question..or doubt...This is because..he can no longer be/certain ]..of..how he will..best-USE them. He is..therefore incapable/of knowledge,.. because he is/uncertain...He is also incapable/of true loving, because..he can perceive love-lessly...He/cannot create surely, because perception deceives,..and illusions are not pure. Perception did/not exist until the Separation had..introduced degrees,..of knowinmg and of..diveregent-aspects/sources/messengers and..intermidable silent-intervals...that we unite..or jointknowings. The Soul has..no levels,..and ALL conflict arises from..the concept of levels..of breed/race/local..religion/even..messenger/mess-ages..holy texts..and churches Wars/arise..when some regard others as if they/were on..a different lower/level. All interpersonal-conflicts..arise from this fallacy. Only the levels..of the Trinity are capable*of Unity. The-levels..which man created by the Separation..are disastrous...They cannot BUT conflict. This is because..one is essentially..meaningless to another. Freud realized this perfectly,/and..that is why..he conceived as forever irreconcilable..the different levels.of his..own-psyche. They were..conflict-prone by definition,..because they wanted different things*..and obeyed..to..different principles/creeds/trite-rite..and rote ritual. stop dividing my..house as if..it were night soil spoil/of war..war no more...get it together..[for sure] Posted by one under god, Tuesday, 29 October 2013 7:43:16 AM

YE..SHALT*BE..wise as serpents

Consciousness..is thus/the level.. of perception,..but_NOT..knowing..of*..its knowledge. Again,..*to_PERCEIVE..*is NOT_to..*know. (In/this connection,..Cayce..*is more-accurate.than Freud.) Consciousness..was the..first/slip/split..that man*introduced..(into himself...*He became..a/PERCEIVER/judge..rather_than...a-creator..in the true/sense. Consciousness..is.correctly/identified as the domain..of the ego...Jung was right..indeed in/insisting..that..the ego is..*NOT_the self,..and.*that/the-self should-be..regarded as-an/achievement.[our_own/creation].. He did/not..RECOGNIZE..(a term..we/now..more-fully/understand) that..the*Achievement..of truth..was God’s...origpnal-creation. In a sense,..the-ego..was..a man-made/attempt to perceive..himself..*as he_wished,/rather than...as he IS. This is-an example..of the..created/v\creator..confusion..we spoke/of before. *He can-only KNOW/himself..as..he_IS,..now because..that/is..*all he-can..truly..be SURE of...now* Everything else..IS open-to.question. The ego..is the questioning/compartment in/the..post-Separation-psyche..which man/created.for himself. *It is..capable of asking..valid-questions, but/not..of perceiving.wholly/which..are[not/were]..valid answers, because..these are/cognitive,..and thus..cannot_..BE perceived. The endless/speculation..about/the meaning..of mind..has led to..considerable_confusion..because*the/mind_IS confused...of fear.* Only..One-Mindedness/fearlessness..[loving/of other]..is without confusion...A separate,..or divided-mind..MUST_be confused.[one cannot serve/two-masters] A divided/mind..is uncertain*..*by definition. *It HAS to.be in..conflict..because it/is..*out of-accord..with itself. Intra-personal conflict..arises from.the same basis as interpersonal...One part of the/psyche..*perceives..another/part ..as on..a different LEVEL,..and/thus..does not_understand it. This..makes..the parts strangers to each other,..WITHOUT..any-means..of reconciliation..via RECOGNITION...This is..the essence/of the..*fear-prone..[stasis/immobilized/paralyzing-condition,..in.which attack..is ALWAYS*possible. Man..has/every reason..to feel anxious, *as he..perceives himself...This/is why..he cannot/escape fear..until he..*KNOWS..that..which..he DID_not.and CAN*_not ..*create of/himself. *He can..NEVER..make this..[error/misperception] valid, and when..he at/last PERCEIVES..clearly,..*he..next..is GLAD HE CAN’T/couldn't/didn't..try. His_Creation..is beyond..his own error/variance, and this..is why..*he MUST eventually/choose.to heal the Separation. Right-mindedness is not to/ be confused with the KNOWING mind,..because it is applicable..only to right perception...You can be right-minded or wrong-minded,..and this/is subject to degrees,..a fact which clearly demonstrates...a lack..of association..with/true..knowledge. (No, Helen,..this is PERFECTLY-clear and..DOES follow..the previous/section. Neither you..nor I..is at-all confused,..even in grammar.) The term..“right-mindedness”..is properly used..as the_correction for wrongmindedness, and..applies/to the.state..of mind which induces..accurate perception...It is/miraculous because*..it heals..errant/misperception,..and..healing..is indeed a miracle,..in view..of/how man..perceives himself.

Freud gave..a very graphic..but..inverted/upside-down account
of how the divisions of the..mind arose.from the bottom UP. Actually,..this is impossible,..because the unconscious cannot create the conscious..*..You cannot..create something you can’t KNOW. Freud was/greatly..worried about this,..being VERY bright, though misguided,..and attempted to get/around it..by introducing a number of..“borderline”..areas.which merely resulted in fuzziness. This was particularly/unfortunate,..because he/was capable of going much higher,..if he/had not been so afraid. This is why he kept..pulling the mind-function..DOWN. The ego..did NOT arise..out of the unconscious. A lower-order perception..cannot..*create a higher-order one, (which is the way..you perceive the structure..of the psyche if you look at it..from the bottom UP)..*because it doesn’t understand it. But a higher-order/perception..CAN create..a lower-order by understanding it..in terms of..pre-conceived/MISperception. *Perception..*ALWAYS involves..some misuse..of will, because it..ACTIVLY..involves the mind into..areas of uncertainty. The mind is very active..because it has will-power.][fixation..toachieve..piure-pose* When it willed/the Separation..it..yet..willed to perceive. Until it chose to do..this,..it willed..*only to know.[but then..the burden..of knowing/obliges one..and watch-us run.. After-wards,..it had/to will..*ambiguously,[feign ignorance/self censor*]..and the only way_out/of..ambiguity IS clear..via..clear/true..perception...of what..now..is*. The mind..returns itself to its proper-function..only when* it finally..matures..sees nouse..for scape-goating..once..it WILLS TO KNOW...This/places it..in the Soul’s service,..where perception is meaningless. The superconscious..is/the level..of the mind..which wills *to..do this...(Freud was particularly/distorted..on this point,..because he was getting..too far UP..for comfort according to his own perception.) But..he WAS right..in maintaining that..the “parts” of the psyche..*cannot be*..correctly perceived..*either as dependant.."THINGS"..or as entirely separate[independant..]...(He would have thought..better if he had said..“entirely separated.”) The mind DID divide itself..when it willed..to create its own levels..AND the ability to/perceive them...But it could NOT entirely-separate..itself from the Soul,..because it is FROM..[soul=form]..the Soul..that it*s/form..[informs]..thus derives its whole power to create. Even in miscreating, will is affirming its source, or it would merely cease to be. This is impossible, because it IS part of the Soul, which God created, and which is therefore eternal. The ability to perceive made the body possible, because you must perceive..SOMETHING,..and WITH something. This is why perception involves an exchange, or a translation, which knowledge does NOT need. Posted by one under god, Tuesday, 29 October 2013 1:59:06 PM

The interpretive/function..of perception,
(is..actually,..a distorted form..of creation), which..then permitted man..to interpret..the body [or paperwork/id/license..etc].. as-if..they are..HIMSELF,.. which,..although depressing,.was a way out of the/conflict..he..himself..induced. (This/has already..been covered/in some detail.) The super-conscious,..*which KNOWS,..*could not/be..reconciled with this loss.;.of power,..because it was..*incapable of..illusory/darkness. This is why..it..has..became..almost inaccessible..to the mind.. and entirely*..inaccessible..to the body...as..It was PERCEIVED..as a threat,..because light/'does abolish..ANY*..darkness by..establishing..the clear-fact..that it ISN’T THERE. the slightest..glimmer..of dawn..dispels..the_darkest/night..

We have already..emphasized the fact..*that knowing does_not*DO anything. yet..It can be_PERCEIVED as an attacker,..*but it CANNOT attack...truth/love/grace/mercy. What..man..perceives as its attack..is his own..recognition_of the fact that it can always..be REMEMBERED,..because it..[of fact/thus reveals..it..was never..destroyed. [what..means..NEVER WAS?] This..is not..a literal..re-membering as much..as a dis-membering...[disassembling..the illusion] (That is..largely..so..for B. I wish he/would decide..to use that/talent of his constructively...He has no idea..of how powerful..it could be.

He/doesn’t have to decided..if..it is one..NOR the other.) The unconscious should..never have been reduced to a “container” for..the waste products of conflict. Even as..HE perceives his psyche, every level has a creative potential, because nothing..man creates..can wholly lose this. The ego is as frail as Freud perceived it. The later theorists..have tried to introduce a less pessimistic view,.but have looked..in the wrong direction for their hope...Any attempt/to..endow the ego..with/the attributes of the Soul,..is merely confused thinking. recall..cayce things,..dont accord..spirit [do de-fuse].no.. things..[nothing]*no..*thing..exude's..nothing..of spirit- [meaning]..they may..hold traces..but..not any/life-essence even..by association..[its..the illusory..[cayce]..in point] imagery..is only..*image regardless of..the image.. the image..imagines..to reveal Freud was/more..clear-sighted..about this, because he kne.. a BAD thing.when he perceived it, but he failed..to realize recognize..that...anillusery bad thing..*cannot truly..exist*.

A thousand/men..may have..a thousand/different-opinions
about the..same..one-thing;..but..just exactly..one of/the.opinions is true,..and..the only difficulty..is to find-out..which one..that is. As against/that,..a thousand_different/sentiments..aroused by/some-one/object a..re all right,..because..no..singular..sentiment remains..which..represents/..what..is/really..the true-use..of..the object,..and so..no_sentiment..runs..*any..more..nor less..risk..of being..proved-false·. A sentiment..does mark..a certain..conformity/relation between..the object..and.the organs..[body]..or.faculties of/the mind;..but..there is..thus..no chance/of..error there,..because·..*if that/conformity..didn’t exist..the sentiment..accorded..its being..wouldn’t exist/either.

But..though/this axiom,..*by turning..into/parable..into..a pro-verb,..seems/to have..gained the..support.of common-sense, there is/certainly..a kind..of common-sense/logic..that opposes it, or at/least..serves to modify..and/or..restrain it. [We/are about-to..meet *the word..‘genius’...In Hume’s usage.. and..at.*his time...the word/meant..something stronger..than mere ‘skill-full/will-full..talent’..but..usually..[weaker..less/than ‘genius’..in our..present-day sense.;] In..*that context..the principle..of/the natural-equality..*of·all·*..tastes..is totally forgotten; we/admit it..on some occasions,..where the objects..seem nearly/equal, but..it seems/like..an extravagant/paradox—or..rather..an obvious absurdity—when..it is applied to..*objects..that are/so..dis-proportioned...to one..an-other.

What interested me..in/this talk
was that..G...spoke of..the planets..and even..the moon..as living beings,..having definite stages, a definite-period..of life-[use]..and limited/possibilities..of development..and transition..onto..other planes/of..being. This/attracted..my attention_at once. Nothing..had ever/seemed..to me..more artificial, unreliable,..and dogmatic..than all/the usual..theories..of the origin..of theory..down/to..the very latest,theory..with all their additions...and variations..half-truths..and faulsifyables Therefore..the fact/that G.'s system..accepted..an altogether different/theory,..an organic-theory having..its origin..in entirely new..collective/consensual/principles..and.. showing..a different/universal-order,.. appeared..to-me,,to/be..very interesting..and important. "In what/relation..does/the intelligence..of the earth stand-to..the intelligence..of the sun?"..I asked.>>.. [thats not/a..correct..*question.. but..lets go..with/the-flow.. ..<<.."The..intelligence/of..the sun is divine,"..said G..."But..the earth..can*_become..the same;>>.. to explain..you..have heard..hell/is..surrounded..by fire that fire..is passion..[hell..lies on/the surface..of the sun] the vile passions..burn away..yet bear good fruit..by sustaining life on earth now/its said..one-day..it will..be*done..on earth/as..it is..in-heaven..here g says..the cautioning..of..we ALSO..could become..as..the sun..[ie..hell-on/earth] <<..only,..of course,..it is not/guaranteed and..the earth...may die-having/attained..nothing." "Upon/what does-=this depend?"..I asked. G.'s answer..was very vague. "There is/a..definite period,"..he said, "for..a certain thing..to be done...If,..by..a certain time, what..ought to/be done..has not been done,..the earth may perish without/having attained..what it could/have attained." "Is this/period known?";;I asked "At/the moment..it is not/yet clear..to you," "that/people living..on the earth..*can belong..to very different levels,..although..in appearance/they look..exactly the same...Just as there..are very different-levels/of men,..so there/are..different levels,,of art.[specialisations] Only you/do-not realize..at present/that..the difference between these levels..is far greater/than..you might suppose.

I said..."And/no-doubt..sometimes they..become..as like..im-perfect machines. But I.do-not..believe/they can think...If they/tried to think,..they could..not/have been..such fine machines." "Yes," said G., "that is true,.but only partly true. It depends first of all..on the question..of..*which mind..they use for their work. If they/use..the proper mind..they will-be/able to think even better.in the midst o..f all their work..with machines. But,..again,..only if they-think/with..the proper/cloud-mind." "I want-you..to understand..what..I-am saying. Look,..all those..SPECIAL-ized..people..you see," he pointed..along/the-street,.."are simply..machines—nothing more."

What appears..to be contradictory..about/the difference between knowing..and/perceiving,..and Revelation and miracles,..is again the fallacy..that is..the root c-ause of all/subsequent errors...The miracle//*was associated/with perception,.*and not with knowing.
However,..we also noted..that prayer.*is the medium of miracles, and..also the natural/means..of communication .*by the Creator..and the Created...*Prayer is..*always an_affirmation..*of knowledge,..*not/of..accurate_perception. That is why..unless perception..has*..entered into it,*..it calls/on Revelation. The confusion..between your/own creation..and what you create..is so profound that/it..has literally become impossible to..*know anything,..because knowledge..is always stable...and creation..unlimited. It is quite evident..that human beings are not. Nevertheless,..they are perfectly stable as/God created them...In this sense,..when their behavior..*is unstable,..they are*obviously disagreeing..with God’s-idea..of the Creation. This..is a fundamental/right of man,..although not/one..he would care to exercise..*if he were in his Right Mind. The problem..that is bothering/you most is..the fundamental question which man/continually asks of himself,..but which cannot properly be directed..*to himself..at all. He..keeps on asking..“himself”..what he is..This implies that..the answer is not/only..one which/he knows,..but one..which he thinks..is up to him. The first part/of this statement..is perfectly true, but the second part..is not...We have frequently commented on the absolute necessity of/correcting all fallacious-thinking which associates man*..in any way..with his own Creation. Man CANNOT*..perceive[imagine]..himself correctly. He has..*no image[in reality..only mind]..at all...The word.“image” *is/always..perception related,..*and is not/a..product of knowing...now will. Images..are symbolic,*..and stand/for...something..above..all-else. [in-put/in-spiration] The current emphasis on..“changing your image”..is a good/description..of the power of perception,..but it implies..that there is nothing to KNOW. Prayer..is the medium/of miracles,...not because God created perceptions, but because/God created YOU...At the beginning of this course,..we said that../*YOU are a miracle. Therefore,..the Creator/of the miracle worker is a miracle NOT*..of his own creation. Unless/true-perception rests on..some knowing basis, it is so unstable..that it doesn’t mean anything. *Knowing is/not..open to interpretation,..because its meaning..is..complete..on..its own..*It is possible to interpret meaning.. but this..*is always open to error because it involves..the perception of..intended/plus..un-intended..plus evolved..plus manipulated/biased/distorted..emotive meaning...All..of these..wholly needless/complexities..are the result of man’s attempt to/regard himself..as..*both separated and un-separated..*at..the same time. It/is impossible ..to/undertake..a confusion as fundamental..as this..without*..engaging in further confusion. Methodologically,..man’s-mind..has been.very creative. But,..*as always occurs*..when..method.and content..[SUBSTANCE]..are separated,..it has*not..been utilized..for anything..*but..an attempt to/escape..a fundamental..and entirely../inescapable-impasse. This kind/of thinking ..cannot..,result in/a creative outcome, though..it/has resulted..in..considerable ingenuity. It/is..noteworthy, however,..that..this ingenuity has..almost totally divorced..him..from..[REVELATION]..cloud-mind..supra-knowledge. Posted by one under god, Friday, 1 November 2013 5:15:08 PM

Knowledge..does not/require..ingenuity..at-all.
When..we say..“the truth/shall..set you/free,”..we mean that all/this kind-of/thinking..is/a waste..of time,..but that you are free/of the*.need of..engaging in it. Note/again..that/the functions..of..the-Soul *were_not*..referred to..as abilities..[think..more/like earnings] [our life's..record/emoted passions..*wrote[projected]..largely..upon it] This..point/requires clarification,..because abilities are beliefs..which/are..BASED on/the scarcity-fallacy,..since.. they do-not..*mean/anything..apart from..within-grouped/comparisons. As..you yourself/never..fail to..point out,. “nobody has/none-of..an*.ability,..and no-body..has all of it.”.. That..is/of course,..why/the curve-mean..never rests..on the line. The..clearest..*implications..of relativity,..which properly..inheres/in this statement,*..DEMONSTRATES/that *abilities..are not functions/of the Soul...The Soul’s-functions are NOT relative...*They are ABSOLUTE. They..are OF/God..and ____ God,..*and therefore..God-like. Prayer..is/a way..of asking..*for something. When..we said/that prayer..is the medium of/miracles,..we also said that/the..only meaningful/prayer..is/for*..forgiveness,..because those who/have been..forgiven have everything. Once forgiveness..has been accepted,..*prayer in the usual sense..becomes utterly/without meaning..Essentially, a prayer/for forgiveness..is/nothing more than..a request..that we may be able*to..recognize..*something we already/have. In electing..to enact..the..ability/to perceive..*instead of the..its passive..the will/to know,..hu-man..placed himself in/a position..where he could..resemble/his Father..ONLY by perceiving*..the received revelations..miraculously... *But/he..has..lost the knowledge..[and amazment plus the recognition]..that he..himself..*is a miracle. MIRACULOUS CREATION..was his/own causal.Source,.and also..his own real..intended function. “God created/man..in his own image.and..likeness”..is correct in meaning,.but the words..are open to..considerable misinterpretation. This is avoided,..however,..if..*“image”..is understood/to..mean “same motivational-thought,”[service]..and..“likeness”..is/taken as “of a/like..quality.” [use/uses][cause..of causes]..realization.. of the unseen via..revealing the miracle..is you... revealed by the light[E]..[not..the light[E}]..yet of..the light[E] God DID..create the Son..*in His_own Thought, and..of a..creative/curious/helpful..quality/like..to His own... essentially..There..IS nothing else... beyond..what..god makes perceived.

Every Soul God created is part of you, and shares His glory WITH you.
His glory belongs to Him, but it is equally YOURS. There are no idolaters in the Kingdom, but there is great appreciation for every Soul which God created Glory is your inheritance, given your Soul by its Creator, that you might EXTEND it. But if you hate part of your own Soul, ALL your understanding is lost, because you are looking on what God creates AS YOURSELF without love. The peace of YOUR Soul lies in its limitlessness. Limit the peace you share, and your own Soul MUST be unknown to you. Every altar to God is part of your Soul, because the Light He created is One with Him. You CANNOT sell your Soul, but you CAN sell your AWARENESS of it. You cannot perceive the soul, but you will not KNOW it while you perceive anything ELSE as more valuable The Holy Spirit is your strength because He perceives nothing BUT your soul as you. He is perfectly aware that you do NOT know yourselves, and perfectly aware of how to teach you what you are. The Soul has been created. The body is a learning device FOR the mind. the Soul is already perfect, and therefore does not require correction. ONLY the mind is capable of illumination. The Soul is already illuminated In the Creation, God projected his Creative Ability out of Himself toward the Souls which He created, and also imbued them with the same loving wish (or will) to create. They heal because they deny body-identification and affirm Soul-identification. Posted by one under god, Tuesday, 5 November 2013 6:53:42 AM

Against this sense of temporary existence,
the Soul offers the knowledge of permanence and unshakeable BEING. You cannot conceive of the real relationship that exists between God and His Souls, because of the hatred you have for the Self you have made. In the ego's language, to have and to be are different, but they are identical to the Soul. In every case you have thought wrongly about some Soul that God created, and are perceiving images your ego makes in a darkened glass. The ego and the Soul DO NOT KNOW each other. I am conditioning you to associate misery with the ego, and joy with your *Soul* the Soul reacts in the same way to everything it know is true, and does not respond at all to anything else. Existence is SPECIFIC in how, what, and with whom communication is worth undertaking. Being is completely without these distinctions. It is a state in which the mind IS in communication with everything that is real, including its own Soul. Remember that the Soul knows no difference between being and having. The higher mind thinks according to the laws which the Soul obeys, and therefore honors only the laws of God. Having everything, the Soul HOLDS everything by GIVING it, thus creating as the Father created. Posted by one under god, Tuesday, 5 November 2013 7:08:26 AM

Listen only to God, who is as incapable of deception as are the Souls he created.
Of your egos you can do nothing to save yourselves or others. But of your Souls you can do everything for the salvation of both. Humility is a lesson for the ego, not for the Soul. The Soul is beyond humility, because it recognizes its radiance, and gladly sheds its light everywhere. I need devoted teachers as much as I need devoted priestesses. They both heal the mind, and that is always my own aim. The Soul is far beyond the need of your protection OR mine. Man reacts to his ego much as God does to His Souls,-- with love, protection, and great charity. The ego's ceaseless attempts to gain the Soul’s acknowledgement and thus establish its own existence are utterly useless. The Soul in its knowledge is unaware of the ego. While the ego is equally unaware of the Soul, it DOES perceive itself as rejected by something which is greater than itself. Salvation is nothing more that "right-mindedness" which is NOT the one-mindedness of the Soul, but which must be accomplished before one-mindedness can be restored. The Christ Mind wills from the Soul, not from the Ego, and the Christ Mind IS yours. You, too, have a Kingdom which your Soul has created. It has not ceased to create because your ego has set you on the road of perception. Your Soul’s creations are no more fatherless than you are. Your ego and your Soul will never be co-creators, but your Soul and YOUR Creator will ALWAYS be. It should be quite apparent to you by now why the ego regards the Soul as its "enemy." The ego arose from the Separation, and its continued existence depends on your continuing belief in the Separation. Posted by one under god, Tuesday, 5 November 2013 7:09:19 AM

NOTHING..can reach the Soul..*from the ego, and nothing..FROM the Soul can..strengthen the ego,..or reduce the conflict..*within it.

Your Soul..*is never at stake..because He DID. YOU are part of reality,..which stands unchanged..beyond the reach of your ego,..but within easy reach of your Soul. The word "inevitable"..is fearful to the ego, but joyous..to the Soul...God IS inevitable..and you CANNOT avoid Him anymore..than/that He can avoid YOU.

God created Souls..so He could depend on them
BECAUSE..He created them perfectly. Your mind..is NOT serving your Soul. If you believe..that all of the Souls that God created ARE His Sons,..and if you also believe..that the Sonship is One, then every Soul..MUST be..a Son[light]..of God ,..or an integral part of the Sonship. NOTHING..can prevail against..a Son of God who commends his Spirit..into the hands of His Father...By doing this,.the mind awakens..from its sleep,..and the Soul remembers..its Creator...All sense of Separation disappears,..and level confusion vanishes. Most of the abilities..man now possesses..are only shadows of his real strengths...The Soul knows,..loves,.and creates...These are its unequivocal functions. The Soul..does not..need healing, but..the mind DOES. The mind returns itself..to its proper function only when it WILLS..TO KNOW...This places it/in the Soul’s service, where perception..is meaningless. The mind..DID divide itself..when it willed..to create its own levels..[of reality]..*AND the ability..to perceive them.[his own..misscreations]..But it could NOT.*entirely separate itself from the Soul,..because it is FROM..the Soul that it..derives its whole power to create...*Even in miscreating,..our/free-will is affirming its source,..or it would merely/cease to be...This is impossible, because..it IS part of the Soul,..which God created,..and which is therefore eternal. God and the Souls/He created remain..in surety, and therefore KNOW..that no miscreation exists. But I was..a man who remembered the Soul..and its knowledge. I demonstrated both..the powerlessness of the body..AND the power of the mind,..by uniting MY will..with that of my Creator,..which naturally remembered the Soul..and its own real purpose. The Soul’s functions.are NOT relative...*They are ABSOLUTE. They are OF..God and_under_God,..and therefore God-like. It was..an aid to the artist..in his own creative endeavors. As he made new homes..[bodies]..for Souls..and guided them..thru the period of their own developmental readiness,[via spiritual-evolution]..he learned the role of the father himself. God and the Souls..He created ARE..symbiotically related...*They are COMPLETELY dependent..*on each other...The creation of the Soul itself..*has already been perfectly accomplished,..but the creation..*BY Souls has not.

We have also emphasized that man, insofar as the term relates to Soul, has not only been fully Created, but also been created perfect. There is no emptiness in him. The next point, too, has already been made, but bears repetition here. The Soul, because of its own likeness to its Creator, is creative. No Child of God is capable of losing this ability, because it is inherent in what he IS. The Revelation unites Souls directly with God. The Miracle unites Souls directly with each other. Revelations induce complete but temporary suspension of doubt & fear. They represent the original form of communication between God and His Souls, The Soul never loses its communion with God If a mind creates without love, it can create an empty shell. This CAN be possessed by evil. But the Atonement restores the Soul to its proper place The miracle restores the Soul to its fullness The soul is in a state of grace forever. Man's reality is ONLY his soul. Therefore, man is in a state of Grace forever The Soul is therefore unalterable because it is ALREADY perfect, but the mind can elect the level it chooses to serve. Free will is the attribute of the mind, NOT the Soul. The Soul always remains changeless, because it never leaves the sight of God The mind, if it votes to do so, becomes a medium by which the Soul can create along the line of its own creation if a mind (Soul) is in valid relationship with God, it CAN'T be upside down Sex was intended as an instrument for physical creation to enable Souls to embark on new chapters in their experience http://sites.google.com/site/acimworksheets/soul-in-acim-urtext---single-sentences Posted by one under god, Tuesday, 5 November 2013 7:32:20 AM

Descartes engaged..in a very interesting..teaching procedure,..and one..from which he/himself..learned a great deal...He began with doubting..the existence of everything,.except/himself.
He insisted..that his own existence..*was not open to doubt, and..rebuilt his entire/thought-system..on the one..premise \*“I think,..therefore I am.”*/ It is noteworthy..that he arrived at accepting the entire system which..he originally doubted],..[solely..on the basis..of this ONE piece..of..known/know-ledge... There was,..however,..a distinct shift..in his own perception. He/no longer really questioned..the reality..of what he perceived, because he KNEW..he was/there...witnessing...its real/being. We mentioned..before that..B...is not too/sure of this, and that..is why..we suggested/that he concentrate on..replying..the imp0licite question..with an..affirming reply \*“Lord,..here I am.”*/ A teacher..is un*likely..to be effective unless he*begins..with..the simple truth..of simply.,BEING THERE. B,..this is/not really..open to question...You will..lose all your fear..of teaching..and relating..[in any form]..once you know..*who you..really[essentially/..at essence]..are. There is-no point..whatever/in remaining..in the prison of believing..that this..is up to you...*You do-NOT..exist in different-lights...[visualizations/aspects]..It is..this belief which/has..confused you..about your own reality. Why/would you want to..remain so obscure..to yourself? We have..already discussed/the Last Judgment..in some..though insufficient detail...After.the Last Judgment,*..there isn’t any more. This is symbolic..only/in..the sense that everybody..is much better off..WITHOUT judgment...When the Bible says..“Judge not that/ye..be not judged”..it..merely means that if*..you judge..the reality of others..at all,..you will be..unable*..to avoid judging..your own...by a different measure* The choice..to judge/rather..than know* has been..the/cause of..the loss of peace. Judgment is..the process..on which perception *but not..[re]-cognition/rests...We covered this..before in terms..of selectivity...Evaluation was said..at that time..to be its obvious prerequisite. Judgment*..*ALWAYS involves rejection. It is not*..an ability..which emphasizes ONLY/the positive-aspects of what/is..ill-judged,..whether it be..in..or out of the self...However,..what/has been perceived*..and rejected,..(or judged and.found wanting).;remains in the/unconscious...simply..*because it/HAS*been..perceived. Watson had/a very relevant notion..of the unconscious..in this connection...In fact,..it was so relevant..that he dropped it..as officially*out of accord with Behaviorism. He was right..on both counts. http://miraclevision.com/acim/urtext/acim-urtext-2003-upe-ready-edition.pdf page93 Posted by one under god, Tuesday, 5 November 2013 3:43:17 PM

One..of the illusions..from which human/'perception suffers
is that..what..it perceives/and..*judges..against..has no effect. This..cannot be true,..*unless man..also believes that/what..his judgment vetoes..does not exist...He evidently..does not believe/this,..or he..would not/have judged..against it...*It does/not..really matter/in..the end,..whether ..judge right..or wrong. Either way,..you/are..building/on sand/placing..your belief..[in the un-real.].. This/cannot..be avoided..in/any/type..of judgment,..because..it IMPLIES..the belief..that reality..is yours..to choose FROM*. Neither of/you..has any idea..of/the tremendous release..and deep peace..that comes/from meeting yourselves..and your brothers*..totally without judgment. If you/will..look/back at..the earlier notes..about what you and..your brothers ARE,..you will realize that/judging them..in any way..is really/without meaning...In fact,..their true-meaning..is lost/to you*precisely..*because you ARE..judging them. All uncertainty..comes/from..a totally fallacious belief..that you/are..under the..*coercion/of..judgment..You/do not..need it..to organize your/life,..and you..certainly...do/not need..it..to organize yourselves...back..into atonment. When..you look/upon..knowledge,..all judgment/is.. automatically-suspended,..and this/is..the process..that enables recognition/to REPLACE..perception...Man is/very..fearful of everything..he..*has miss-perceived..and..accordingly..refused to accept. He believes..that..*because/he has refused-to..accept it,..that..he has..lost control..over it...This is why..he sees it/in..nightmares,..or/in..pleasant disguise..in what seems*..to be..happier dreams. *Nothing..that you/have..refused to accept..can-be/brought..into awareness. It..does NOT follow..that.,.it is..dangerous. But it/DOES follow..that you..have made/it..dangerous.. When..you feel..tired,..it/is..merely/because..you have judged*..yourself..as capable/of..being tired. When..you laugh at someone..it/is..because you..have judged-him..as debased. When..you laugh/at..yourself,..you are..singularly..likely to laugh..at others,..if only because..you cannot tolerate..being more..debased..THAN others...All/of..this does..make you..feel/tired, [emotionally drained/spent]..because..it is..essentially disheartening. You..are not/really..capable of..being tired, but..you/are..very capable..of wearying..yourselves. The strain..of constant/miss-judgment..is virtually/intolerable. It is..a curious thing/that any..ability..which is so debilitating;..should be/so deeply..cherished. held so dear..bought upon/self..so dearly.. thus..clearly earned. But..there is..a..very good/reason..for this. (This,..however,..depends..upon what..you mean/by good.) If..you wish..to/be..the author of..your-reality,..which is totally*..impossible anyway,..then you/will..insist..on holding-on..to judgment. You..then..will/also to-use..the term.;.with..considerable fear and..believe/that..*judgment..will/someday..be used..against you...To whatever/extent..*it IS/used against you,..it is..*due ONLY*to..*your belief..in its efficacy..as a weapon/of defense..for/your own authority. The issue..of authority..is really..a question/of authorship. When..an individual..has a..“authority problem,”..it-is..ALWAYS because/he..believes..he is/the author..of himself,..and resents..his own projection/that..you share/his delusion.. in this respect...He then perceives/the situation..as one in which..two people/are literally..fighting for/his..own authorship.

"People understand..what..'knowledge'..means.
And..they understand/the possibility..of different levels..of knowledge...They understand/that knowledge..may be..relevent..toa geater..or lesser..purpose,..that is/to say,..being..of one quality or..of another quality. But..they do/not..understand this..in relation/to..'being.'.. 'Being,'..for them,..means simply..'existence' knowledge..exists..with/out..in..physical-form,.. as..to/which..is..with-in..as opposed..[justly..'non-existence.'] They..do/not understand..that being..or existence may be of very..different levels..and categories...Take for instance the being..of a mineral..and of a plant...It is a different means..to being...The being..of a plant..and of an animal..is again a different being. The being..of an animal..and of a man..is an/other..different being. But..the being..of two people..can differ..one..from one another..more than the being..of a mineral..from/that..of an animal-being. This is exactly..what people do/not understand...And they do not understand..that knowledge..depends on..the being...Not only do/they not understand..this latter but..they definitely..do not wish to understand/it...And especially..in Western culture. where..it is/considered that..a man may possess/great knowledge, for example..he may be/an able-scientist,..even/make discoveries, advance science,..and at the same time/he may be,..*and has/the right to be,..a petty,egoistic,caviling,mean,envious,vain,naive,..and absent-minded. "And yet..it is/his being...And people..think/that his knowledge..does not depend..on his being...People/of Western culture..put great value..on the level of/a man's knowledge..but they do/not value..the level of a man's-being..and are/not ashamed..of the low level/of..their own being...They do/not..even understand..what it means...And they/do not..understand..that a man's/knowledge*depends on the/level..of his being. "If knowledge..gets far ahead/of being,..it becomes theoretical..and abstract..and inapplicable..to life,.,.or actually harmful,..because..instead of serving/life..and helping people..the better/to struggle..with the difficulties..they meet,..it begins/to complicate..man's life,..and/brings new difficulties..into it,..new troubles..and calamities..which were not there before. "The reason..for this/is..that knowledge[which is/not]in accordance with being..cannot be..large enough for,..or sufficiently/suited to, man's..real immediate/needs. It will/always be..a knowledge..of one thing together with/ignorance..of another thing;..as/knowing a knowledge..of the detail/without..a knowledge of/the whole;..a knowledge..of..*the form[without a knowledge/of..the essence]. "Such preponderance..of knowledge..over being..is observed/in present-day..culture...The idea of/the..value and importance..of the level/of being..is completely forgotten...And it/is..forgotten that/the level of..knowledge..is determined by/the level..of being. Actually..at a given/level..of being the possibilities..of knowledge..are limited...and finite..Within the limits..of a given-being..the quality..of knowledge/cannot be changed,..and the accumulation..of information..of one/and..the same nature,..within already/known limits,..alone is possible.

"Taken..in itself,..a man's/being..has many..different/sides...The most..characteristic feature..of a modem man..is the absence of*unity..in him..
and,..further,..the absence/in..him of..even traces of those properties..which..he most/likes to..ascribe..to himself,..that is, 'lucid-consciousness,'..'free-will,'..a 'permanent.ego..or I,'..and the 'ability..to do.' It may..surprise you..if/I..say that/the chief feature..of/a..modem man's-being..which explains/everything-else..that/is lacking..in him..is sleep. "A/modern man..lives..in sleep, in sleep..he..is born..and..in sleep..he dies... About sleep,..its significance..just think..of/one thing,..what knowledge..can..a sleeping-man have? And..if you/think about it..and at the same time remember..that sleep..is/the chief feature..of/our being,..it will..at once become/clear..to you that..if/a man..really wants knowledge,..he must first of all..think about..how to wake,..that is,..about how..to change..his very-being. "Exteriorly man's being..has many different sides:..activity or passivity;..truthfulness..or a tendency to lie;..sincerity or insincerity;..courage,/cowardice; self-control,..profligacy; irritability,..egoism,/readiness for..self-sacrifice,..pride,vanity, conceit,..industry,..laziness,.morality,.depravity;...all these and much more/besides..make up the being..of man. "But..all/this..is entirely/mechanical..*in man. If he lies..*it means..that he cannot*help lying...If he tells..the truth..it means that..he cannot help..telling the truth, and..so it is.with everything. *Everything happens,..a man/can do nothing either in himself..or outside himself. "But of course..there are limits..and bounds...Generally speaking, the being..of a modem man..is of very/inferior quality..But it can be of/such bad quality..that no change is possible. This must/always.be remembered...People whose being can still..be changed..are very lucky...But there are people who are definitely diseased, broken machines..with whom nothing..can be done...And such..beings..are in the majority... If you think/of this..you will understand..why only few/can receive..any real knowledge...Their being..[their own..misscreations]..prevents it. "Generally speaking,..the balance/between..knowledge..and being is..even more important..than/a separate development..of either one or..the other...And..a separate development..of knowledge..or of being..is not desirable..*in..any way... *Although..it is precisely this one-sided development..that often/seems..particularly attractive to people. "If knowledge..outweighs being/ a man knows..but has/no power of will..to do...It thus..is useless knowledge...On the..other hand..if being outweighs/knowledge..a man has the power to do,..but does not know,..that is,..he can do something..but does/not know..*what to do. The being..he has acquired..becomes aimless and..his futile efforts..made to attain it..prove to be..equally/useless. "In the history of humanity..there are known..many examples where entire civilizations..have perished because..knowledge outweighed their being..or their being..outweighed..the knowledge." "What are..the results..of the development..of the line..of knowledge..without being,.. or the development..of the line..of being without knowledge?" "The development..of the line of knowledge without the line of being gives..a man who knows..a great deal..but can/do nothing,[change nothing]..

The missbelief..is very frightening to them,
but hardly troubles God..at all...He is,..however, eager to undo it,..*not to punish His children,..but ONLY..because He knows that it's misscreations[the root of all evil]..makes them unhappy. Souls were given.their own true authorship,..and then men preferred to/remain anonymous..when..*they chose to separate themselves..FROM their Author.*..The/word..“authority”..has been one of their..most fearful symbols..ever since. Author-ity..has/been used..for..deliverance..of great cruelty, because,..by..being uncertain of/their..*true Authorship,..men miss-believe/that their creation..was anonymous... This has left them in a position..where it SOUNDS/meaningful..to consider the miss-probability..or even..mere possibility*..that they..*must have created themselves. The dispute/over author-ship..has left such uncertainty..in the minds of man..that some/people..have gone so far as...to doubt whether..they were..*ever created at all...Despite the/apparent contradiction..in this position,.it is in/one sense..more tenable than the view that/they created themselves. At least,..it acknowledged..the fact..that some..TRUE..verifiable..authorship..causation..is*necessary for existence...Only those..who give over..any/or all desire..to reject can KNOW..that their own rejection is/impossible. You have not usurped..the power of God,..but you HAVE lost it...simply by misscreating a faulse cause..Fortunately,.when you lose something,..this does not mean..that the..true/something has gone...It merely/means..that YOU*do/not..know..where it..truth is. thus..does not depend-on..*your ability..to identify it,..or even to re-place it's Honoria...It is perfectly possible..to look on*..reality*without judgment,..and merely to KNOW it is..there.[here].[now] By knowing this,..you are..not/doubting..its reality at all. Peace..is a natural heritage..of the Soul...*Everyone is free to refuse..to accept his/inheritance,..but he is*NOT free..to establish what*..his inheritance IS. The problem which/everyone..MUST decide..is the fundamental question..of..*his own authorship... All fear comes ultimately,..via the miscreations wrought by our-self..and sometimes by..way of very..devious half hearted routes,..which lead..us ever/further away..from the truth..thus even further..from our father..simply by the denial..of Authorship. The offense..is never to God,..but only..to the denier himself. He has thrown/away the..reason for his own peace,..and sees himself only..in pieces...and never as we all truly are..[vital pieces].. This strange mis-perception..IS an author-ity problem..It is also..the basis for cast-ration anxiety,..since both..forms of error..are/fundamentally the same...

Neither you..nor B. can find peace..while this authority problem continues...But..the/truth is still..that there IS no problem about this...There is/no man/who..does not feel..that/he is imprisoned in some way.
If this..has been/the result..of his own free will,..he must regard his will.*as if it..were NOT free,..or..the ill-begotten fruits..of obviously..circular/reasoning..of his own/position would be quite..apparent. *Free will*..MUST lead to freedom.* nothing less is fair..Judgment..always imprisons,..our very soul because..it separates/into segments..of reality..according to highly unstable..scales of desire. *Wishes*..are not facts,..by/definition.* To wish..is to imply that..our mind/simply willing..is not sufficient...However,..no one really/believes that..what is wished for is as real..as what is willed...to..be Instead of..“seek you..first the/Kingdom of Heaven” say..“Will ye first..the Kingdom of Heaven,”..and you/have said “I know..what I am,..and I will*to accept..my own inheritance.” It is ESSENTIAL..that this whole..authority_problem needs be....voluntarily dismissed at once..and for all time...before B’s course. Neither of you..understands..how important..this is for your..own self-sanity... You are both.quite insane on..this point. (This is not..a judgment...It is merely a fact.] (No, Helen,..you SHOULD use the word..“fact”. This is just..as much a fact..as God is...A fact this self recognition..of self..is literally..the proper foundation..the..“making” for..a sure sound starting point. You DO start..from this point,..and your thinking is inverted..because of it.)..but..Every system..of thought MUST have a..sure starting point...It begins with..either a making..or a/creating,..a difference..which we have already covered. Both.are acts of will,..except/that making involves doing, and creating..involves active willing...Their resemblance lies in..their power..*as FOUNDATIONS...Their difference..lies in what rests..*upon them.* Both/are cornerstones..for systems of belief..by which men live. It is a mistake..to believe that.a thought-system..*which is based on lies is weak. *NOTHING.*made by a child of God..is without power. It is absolutely*essential..that you/realize this,..*because otherwise..you will not understand...why you have so much trouble with this course, and will be*..unable to escape from..the prisons you*have..(made)*created/for yourselves. (The use.of creative/here w..as an error. You should/have said/made..for/yourself.) You have both made..the error of/the psychotherapist we described..in some detail/before,..and it is particularly serious at/*this time. *You..cannot resolve your authority problem by depreciating..the power..*of your minds.

We have discussed..the fall..or Separation before,..but its meaning must be clearly/understood,..*without symbols. *The Separation..is NOT symbolic.*..It is an order..of reality, for..a system of thought..that is PERFECTLY real..[in time]..,though not in Eternity...*All beliefs/are real..*to the believer.

Embarrassment..is ALWAYS..*an expression of..ego-centricity,.an association..which has/been..made before...*(Made,*..NOT created. This/kind of association..*is ALWAYS man-made).
Both of you..have completed..the SCT stem:.. When..I/was called on ..to speak—with—“I became..embarrassed..and COULD/NOT SPEAK.” This should/be corrected..to..“Recognized/my Authorship.” Tell B...that he cannot be embarrassed/by his own words unless..he believes that..HE/is responsible for them...We have already..corrected..“word”..to..“thought,..[now concept] and he..IS free to/allocate..the authorship..*for his thoughts..as he elects. He can speak..from his Soul..or from his ego,..precisely as he chooses...If he speaks from his Soul.. he has chosen to..“be still and/know..that I am God.” These words..*are inspired, *because..they come*from KNOWLEDGE. If he speaks..from his ego,..he is DISCLAIMING/knowledge instead of..AFFIRMING it,true..and/is thus dis-spiriting..[extemporizing]..himself. The dis-spirited/have no choice..*BUT to be..narcissistic, and to/be narcissistic..IS to/place your faith..in the unworthy...Your real worth..IS your divine authorship,..and your Soul/is..its acknowledgement.* I cannot guide..your egos EXCEPT.as you associate them/with your Souls...Attacking misidentification errors is neither..MY function nor YOURS...Destroying/the devil is a meaningless/undertaking. Cervantes wrote..an excellent symbolic account of this procedure,..though..he did not understand..his own symbolism. The REAL point of/his writing was..that his.“hero” was a man who perceived himself as unworthy because/he .identified with/his ego and perceived its weakness. He then..set about..to alter..his/perception,..NOT/by correcting..his mis-identification,..but by..behaving egotistically. Chesterton wrote..an excellent description of Cervantes..and his perception of his..“unheroic hero,”..a view of man..which the ego tolerates..all too frequently,. but..*the Soul/NEVER countenances: Do-not embark..on foolish/journeys because..they are..indeed..in vain. The ego..will them..because/the ego IS both...lean..and..foolish...but.the Soul..CANNOT*embark on them because..it is..forever.Unwilling/to depart..from its firm/sure..Foundation. The..journey to..the/cross should..be..the..LAST foolish/journey..for..every-mind. Do-not dwell..upon it,..but dismiss it..as accomplished... If/you..can accept..that..as YOUR OWN..*last foolish/journey, you..are..thus..free..*also..to join..My Resurrection. Human living..has indeed..been needlessly/wasted..in self-perpetuating/repetition..of.illusory compulsion...It re-enacts the Separation,..the abandonment..of power,..the foolish journey..of the ego..in its.attempt..at reparation,..and finally the crucifixion..of the body,..or..illusionism..of death. Repetition compulsions..can be endless,..unless they/are given up..*by an act of will,/or,..more properly..as active miss-creation... *Do not make..the pathetic human error.. of “clinging/to..the old rugged cross.”..The only message of the crucifixion..is in respect..for man’s*..willed for..ability to OVERCOME*..the cross...*Unless..[until]..he does so,..he is..free to crucify him*self..as often/as he chooses. *But this..was NOT*..the gospel I intended..to offer him. We have..yet..another journey to undertake,..and I hope that,.*if both of you..will read...*these notes*carefully*,..they will help..to prepare you..to undertake it.

We have spoken..of many different human symptoms,..and at this level there..IS almost/endless variation...But there is only*..one cause..*for all of them.
The authority-problem IS..“the root..of all evil”. Money is..but one of..its many reflections,..and is a reasonably representative example..of the kind of thinking..which stems from it. The idea..of buying/and selling..implies precisely the kind of exchange..that the Souls..*cannot understand at/all*..because their own Supply..is always abundant,..and all their demands are fully met. Every symptom..which the ego has made..involves a contradiction in terms...This is/because..the mind is split between the ego..and the Soul,..so that WHATEVER the ego..makes is incomplete and contradictory. Consider what a..“speechless professor”..means/as a concept. It literally means..a “non-professing professor,”..or a “nonspeaking speaker”. professors..*must be actively..profession.. or they are but..salt..[that has lost/its taste] Untenable positions such as this..are the result of the authority problem, which,..*because it..accepts the one*inconceivable thought..as its..base-premise,..*can only produce ideas/which are inconceivable. B...may claim..(and has certainly/done so..in the past) that the/PROFESSORSHIP..was thrust upon him...This is/not true. He wanted it..very much,..and..also worked hard..to get it. He would/not have..had to work so hard either, if he had..not/misunderstood it's service..with other... The term..“profess”..is used quite/frequently in the Bible,..but in a somewhat different/context...To profess..is*to identify..with an idea..and offer the idea..to others..to be THEIR/own. The idea does/NOT lessen;..it becomes STRONGER. The teacher clarifies..his own/ideas and strengthens them..BY teaching them... Teacher and pupil,..therapist and patient,..are all alike in the learning process...They/are in the SAME order of learning,..*and unless they..*SHARE their lessons..they will lack/conviction. If a salesman..must believe..in the product he sells,.. how much more must..a teacher believe..in the ideas which he professes... But he needs..another condition;..he must*..also believe..in the students..to whom he offers his ideas* B...could not be afraid to teach..unless he still believes that interaction means loss,..and that learning..means separation... He stands guard*..over his own..miss-conceived/ideas,..because he wants to protect..this thought-system..*as it is,..and learning MEANS change. Change is*always fearful..to the separated,[dived..of mind] because they cannot conceive..of it as a change..*toward/HEALING the separation...They ALWAYS..MISS_perceive it..as a change for further separation,..because separation..*WAS..*their first experience of change. Bill,..your..*whole-fear..of teaching[professing]..is nothing*but an example..of your/own intense*separation anxiety,..which you_have handled..with..the*usual series..of mixed defenses..[your OWN*miss-creations] in/the..ill-conceived/combined pattern..of attack..on truth.. and defense..of error, which/characterizes..ALL/ego-biased non-thinking.

You insist..WRONGLY..that..*if you allow..no change.to enter
into your EGO,..that..your SOUL..will find..peace...somehow* This..profound/confusion..is possible only if one maintains that..the SAME thought-system..can stand..on two foundations. NOTHING can reach..the Soul..from the ego,..and nothing /FROM the Soul..*can strengthen/the ego,..or reduce the conflict..within it. The ego..IS a contradiction. Man’s self..and God’s Self ARE..ergo..in opposition... They..are..thus..juxtaposed..in miss-creation,..irreconcilable..in will,..and in..divergent-outcome's..both truth..and false. They are/fundamentally irreconcilable.because the Soul cannot perceive,..error..and the ego cannot know..any..but truths it has biased towards self. They are..therefore..NOT IN COMMUNICATION, and..can never BE..in communication.[light/dark..dont_mix] Nevertheless the ego..can learn,..because its maker can be misguided,..but CANNOT..make the totally/lifeless..live..with-out..[out/of..the life-given]. The Soul..need not be taught,.but the ego*MUST... The ultimate reason why learning..or teaching is perceived as frightening..is because..eternally true learning..DOES lead to the relinquishment..over..(NOT destruction of]the ego..[darkness of self]..to the light/of the Soul. This is...the change..the ego ..MUST fear, because..it does/not share..the clarity..only found..in charity. My lesson..was like yours,..and because..I learned..beyond..it..I can teach it. I never..attack your/egos..(in spite of..H’s strange beliefs/to the contrary),..but I DO try to..teach them..*how their/miss-thought-systems..many/have arisen. When..I remind you..of your..TRUE perfect-Creation,.. your egos..cannot..BUT respond..with fear. Bill,..teaching..and learning are..your greatest strengths now,..because..*you MUST..change/your mind..and help others..change theirs.... It is pointless..to refuse to refuse..to tolerate change..or changing..only..because you believe..[fear]..that you only ..can demonstrate..by doing..so that the Separation/never occurred.[the first.WILL BE LAST..remember*] The dreamer..who doubts.the reality..even..of his/own-dream.. while he is still dreaming..it is not really..healing the mind to mind-level-split...underpinning the separateness. You HAVE dreamed of..a separated ego, and you HAVE believed..in a world..which/rested upon it. thus..This is..very real to you...You cannot..undo this..by doing nothing and not/changing. If you are willing..to renounce the role of guardians of your thought-systems.and..open them to me,..I will correct them very gently,..and lead you home.[under grace/mercy..peace] Every good teacher..hopes to give his students..so much of his own thinking..comforts.[com-fortable/com-fort-ing]..that they will..one day no longer..*need him...This is the one real goal of the parent,.teacher,.and therapist. This goal..will not/cannot..be achieved by those who believe that they will LOOSE..their child or pupil..position..or patient if*..they succeed. thats the..clear error.

those..who miss-believe..that they will LOOSE
their child..or pupil..or patient ..patent/power or position..if..they succeed...clearly failtheir profession. It is..IMPOSSIBLE..to convince..the ego of this, because it goes..against all ..of its own*laws...But remember.. that laws..are set-up..to protect..the continuity of/the system..in which..*the law-maker believes. It is.natural enough..for the ego to try.to protect itself,..once YOU have made it...so..But it..is NOT natural..for YOU to want/to obey its laws..*unless YOU believe/in them. The ego..cannot make..this choice because..of..the nature..of its origin. But YOU can,..because of the nature of YOURS. Egos can clash in any situation,..but Souls cannot clash/at all. If you perceive..a teacher..as merely a..“larger ego,” ..you WILL be afraid,..because to/ENLARGE an eg..IS to increase separation anxiety. Do not engage..in this foolishness, Bill...I will teach with you and live with you,.if you will think with me...But my goal will..always be to absolve..you finally from the need..for a teacher. This is//the OPPOSITE..of the ego-oriented teacher’s goal. He is concerned.with the effect of HIS/ego..on OTHER egos,..and he therefore interprets their interaction as a means of..ego/preservation. This is no less true./.if he is afraid to teach than if he is frankly..out to dominate..through teaching. The form of..the symptom is only..a reflection of his particular way of/handling..the separation anxiety. ALL separation anxiety..is a symptom..of a continuing will to remain separated...This/cannot be repeated..too often because you have..*NOT learned it..*Bill,..you are afraid to/teach..ONLY because you are afraid..of the impression..your image of yourself..will make ON..OTHER IMAGES. You believe that their APPROVAL..of your image..will exalt it,..but also..that your separation anxiety..will be increased. You also believe..that their/DISAPPROVAL of it..will lessen the separation anxiety,..but at the cost..of depression. I would/not be..able to devote myself..to teaching if..I believed either-of..these ideas,..and YOU will..not be a devoted teacher..yourself as long..as you..maintain them. I am/constantly..being perceived as..a teacher either..to be exalted or rejected,..but I do not*..accept either..*perception for myself. Your own worth..is NOT established*..by your teaching. Your worth..was established*by God. As long..as you dispute this,..EVERYTHING you *do..will be fearful, and particularly/any situation..which lends itself easily to the superior-inferior fallacy. Teachers..must be/patient,..and repeat their..own lessons..until they are..properly..learned...I am un-willing.. to do so,..because I..have no right..to set..*your learning/earnings/limits..*for you.

Once again,—NOTHING..*you do,
or think,..or will,..or make..is necessary..*to establish/your worth. This point..IS NOT DEBATABLE..except in delusions. Your ego..*is NEVER at/stake..because God.*did not create it. Your Soul..*is never..at stake..*because He DID. Any/confusion..on this point ..IS a delusion,[miss-creation/of ego. and no form..of devotion ..to other..let alone god..is possible as long/as..this..ego-delusion lasts. Bill,..if you will..to be..a devoted..professing-teacher rather/than..an ego-centric one,..you will not be/afraid...The teaching situation..IS fearful..if it is misused.. as..an ego involvement...If you/become afraid,..it is BECAUSE you are miss-using..it this way...But..the devoted teacher..FEARLESSLY-perceives..the situation..*AS IT IS,..*and NOT..*as HE wills it. He does/not..see it..as dangerous because/HE is..not exploiting it...yet..The ego tries to exploit..ALL situations..into forms/of praise for itself in order to/overcome ..its fears..and doubts. It will/be..doubtful forever,..or better, as..long as..*you believe in it...*You who made it..CANNOT trust it, because..*you KNOW*..it is not..really-real. The ONLY..sane/solution..is not-to try..to change reality, which is..in-deed..a fearful attempt,..but to..simply see it as/it is. YOU are..part of..the only..true-reality,..which stands unchanged beyond..the reach of..your ego,.but..within easy-reach.of your Soul. Bill,..again I tell you..that when you are afraid,..be still and KNOW..that God is real..and*YOU are..His beloved son[in whom he is well pleased.] Do not*..let your ego..dispute this,*because..the ego cannot know what..is..*as far beyond..*its reach..as you are. *God..is NOT*..the/author of fear. YOU are. You..have willed,..therefore,..to mis-create unlike Him,..and you have..thus..*made fear..real..for yourselves.

God gave you a..very lofty responsibility..which you are not meeting.
You KNOW this,..and..so..you are afraid. But your egos..have chosen ..to be afraid INSTEAD of meeting it..When you awaken you/will not be able to understand this,..insanity..because it is literally in-credible. DO NOT BELIEVE..THE INCREDIBLE NOW. Any attempt..to increase its believableness..is merely to postpone the inevitable...The word..“inevitable”..is fearful..to the ego,..but joyous to the Soul. God [grace/love/mercy/eternity..IS inevitable and you..CANNOT avoid Him..anymore than..He can/avoid YOU. The ego..is afraid of..the Soul’s limitless joy,..because once you have experienced this,..you will..withdraw all protection from your ego..and become totally*..without..ego-investment..in injurious/paralinguistic fear. Your investment..is great now,..because fear.is a witness to the Separation, and your ego/rejoices..when you witness to it. Leave it behind...Do not listen to it,.. and do not preserve it. Listen only to God,..who/is as incapable of deception *as are..the Souls he created...As teachers and therapists, release*..yourselves..and release others. Do not present..a false and unworthy picture..of yourselves TO others,..or allow..them..to..accept such a picture OF them yourselves. The ego has built..a shabby and un-sheltering home for you, because it *..cannot build..otherwise..Do not try to make this impoverished house stand...ITS weakness..*IS your..soul/sole-strength. Only God could make a home..that was worthy..of His beloved and beholden-Creations, who have/chosen..to leave it empty..by their own dispossession...abandonment-fears. His Home will stand forever,..and is ready..for you when you choose to enter. Of this..you can be wholly certain. God is..as incapable of creating..the perishable as your ego is..of making the eternal. Of your egos you can do nothing..to save yourselves or others. But of your Souls you..can do everything..for the salvation of both. Humility..is a lesson for the ego,..not for the/Soul. The Soul is beyond humility,..because it recognizes its radiance,..and gladly sheds its..light everywhere. The meek..shall inherit the earth..because their egos are humble,..and this gives them..better perception. The Kingdom of Heaven..is the right..home..of the Soul, whose beauty and...dignity are beyond doubt,.;beyond perception, and stand forever..as the mark of the love..*of God for His Creations,..who are wholly-worthy..of Him..and ONLY of Him. Nothing else..is sufficiently worthy..to be a gift..for a creation..of God Himself. I will..substitute..for your ego if..you will,..but NEVER.for your Soul.

A father can safely..leave a child with an elder brother who has shown himself responsible,..but this involves/no confusion about the child’s origin.
The brother can protect the child’s body and his/ego,.which are very closely associated,..but he does not confuse HIMSELF..with the father because he does this,..[although the child may]. The reason why..I can be entrusted with YOUR body..and YOUR egos is simply/because this enables YOU..to not to be overly concerned with them,..and for ME to teach you their/un-importance...I could not understand..their importance to YOU..if I had not once been tempted..to believe them myself. Let us undertake..to learn this lesson together, so we can/also..be free of them..together. I need devoted teachers..as much as I need devoted priestesses. They both..sweek ways..to heal the/mind,..and that is always..my own aim. The Soul..is far beyond the need..of your protection..OR mine. The Biblical quotation..should read..“In this world..you need NOT have*.tribulation.BECAUSE I have overcome..illusions..of the world.” THAT is why..you should..“be..of good cheer.” B’s course..was very carefully chosen,..because “abnormal psychology”..IS ego/centric psychology. This is precisely..the kind of content..which should never be taught FROM*..the ego whose abnormality..should be lessened by true-teaching,..not increased...bythat false. You,..Bill, are..particularly well suited.to perceive this difference,..and can therefore,,to teach this course as/it should be taught...Most teachers have..an unfortunate tendency to teach the COURSE*abnormally,..and many of the students..are apt to suffer considerable perceptual distortion..because of their own authority problem...miss-perceptions. Your teaching assignment..(and I assure you..it IS an assignment)..will be to present..perceptual distortion..* without either engaging..in them yourself,..*or encouraging your*..students to do so. This interpretation..of your role..and theirs is too charitable to induce/fear..If you adhere..to this role, you will..both engender..and experience hope,..and you/will inspire rather..than dispirit..the future teachers..and therapists I am entrusting to you. I promise to attend myself,..and you..should at least credit..with me with some/dependability in keeping my own promises. I never make them lightly,..because I know the need..for..my brothers have for trust...to know truth's qualities..for sure...as my motives..remain..pure/true...of good grace and mercyful.

Bill has asked lately...how the mind..could ever..have made the ego.
This is..a perfectly..reasonable question;..in fact,..the best question either of you could ask...There is no point..in giving an historical answer,..because the past does not matter..in human terms, and..history would not exist..if the..*same errors..were not being repeated*.in the present. B. has..often..told you that..your thinking is too abstract at times,..and he is right. Abstraction..DOES apply..to knowledge,..because knowledge..is completely impersonal,..and examples..are irrelevant..to its understanding. Perception,..however,..is always specific,..and therefore quite concrete...Perceptual distortions..*are not abstractions...They are.merely confusions. Each man..makes..one ego for himself,..although it is subject..to enormous variation..because of its..instability, and one..for everyone he perceives,..which is equally variable. Their interaction..IS a process which..literally alters both,..because they.. were not made*..either..BY..or..WITH..*the unalterable. It is particularly important..to realize..that this alteration can..and does occur..as readily/when the interaction..takes place IN THE MIND..as when..*it involves physical presence. THINKING..about..another ego..is as effective..in changing relative/associative perception..as is..their..physical interaction. There could be..no better example..of the fact that the ego is an idea,..though not*..a reality-based/[thus biased-thought. Your..own present state..is the best concrete example..that B...could have..of how the mind..*could have made the ego. You DO have..real knowledge..at times,..but then you throw it away as if..it is..as like you never had it...This willfullness is so apparent that..B. need only perceive it;to see that is DOES happen. If it can occur that way..in the present,..why should he be surprised..that it occurred..that same-way..in the past? All..psychology rests on..the principle..of continuity/of behavior. Surprise..is a reasonable-response..to the unfamiliar,..but hardly to something*..that has occurred..with such persistence. An extreme example..is a good teaching aid,..not because it is typical,..but because it/is clear...The more complex..the material,..the clearer..the examples should be..for teaching purposes. (Bill, remember that..for your own course, and do not..avoid the dramatic...It/holds the student’s interest precisely because..it is so apparent..that it CAN be readily perceived.) But,..as we have said before,..all teaching devices in the hands of good-teachers..are aimed at rendering themselves unnecessary. I would therefore..like to use/your present state..as an example of how..the mind can work,..*provided you both fully/recognize that it need*..not work that way. I NEVER forget this myself,..and a good teacher shares..*his own ideas,..*which he himself believes. Otherwise,..he cannot..*really..“profess” them,..as we used..the term before.

With.*full recognition..of..the transitory-nature,..of sharing/profession..
(a recognition..which I..hope..you both..share),.. H...offers a very good teaching/example..of alternations between Soul..and ego,..with con-comitant variation..between peace and frenzy...it is/perfectly apparent..that /when she..is ego-dominated,..she DOES..NOT KNOW*..her Soul. Her abstract-ability,..which is..perfectly genuine and..does stem..from knowledge,..cannot..help her..because she has turned..into the concrete..[made-real/turned to stone].... that..which she cannot handle..abstractly. thus..by..making abstraction..concrete]..that Being is yet incapable..of appropriate..concreteness..of perceptually,.. because her ego..is not her..natural home,..she suffers from its intrusions,..[illusions]..but NOT..from complete..lack/of knowledge. The result..is..a kind of...“double/vision”,..which would* have..produced..an actual/dyplopia,..if she had not..settled for nearsightedness. This was..an attempt..to see..the concretion..more clearly through..the ego’s eyes,..without the..“interference”..of the longer range. Her virtual..lack..of astigmatism..miss-percieving.. is due/to her..real-efforts..at objectivity..and fairness. She has not attained them,..or she would..not be nearsighted...But she/HAS tried..to be fair..with what*..she permitted/herself..to see. Why are you surprised..that something..which..happened..in/the dim past,..when..it is..so/clearly happening..even right now? You forget..the love..that even animals have..for their own offspring,..and the need..*they feel..to protect them...This is because they..regard them as..part/of themselves... No one disowns something..that..*he regards..as..a very real/part..of himself. Man reacts..to his ego..much as like..how God does.to His Souls,—with love,protection,..and great-charity. The reaction..of man..to the self..he too has..made..is not at all surprising...In fact,..it duplicates in many ways..the way..*he will*..one day react to..his real creations,..*which are..as timeless as/he is. The question..is not..HOW man.. *responds..*toward his ego,..but only what..he believes..he IS. Again,..belief..is an ego-function,..and as /long as..your origin is open..to belief at all,..you ARE regarding it*..from..an ego viewpoint. That is why..the Bible quotes..me as saying,.."Ye believe..in God, believe also.in me.”..Belief DOES apply to me,..because I am the teacher..professing..of the ego. When teaching..is no longer necessary,..you will merely know God. Belief..that there IS..another way..is the loftiest idea..of which ego-thinking is capable...This is because..it contains a hint of recognition..*that the ego is NOT the self. Helen always/had this idea,..but it merely confused her. B.,.you were more capable..of a long-range view,..and that is why your..eye[hind]-sight is good. But..you were willing*..to see because you/utilized judgment..against what you saw. This gave you..a clearer perception..than Helen’s, but*..its also..what..cut off the cognitive level..ever more deeply. That..is why..you believe..that you never..had/knowledge. Repression..HAS been..a stronger mechanism..in..your own ego/defense,..and that is..why you find..her mind-shifts..so hard to tolerate. Posted by one under god, Saturday, 9 November 2013 2:14:38 PM

Willfulness..is more..characteristic..of her,..and/that..is why..she..has less..applicable-sense
than you do...It is extremely fortunate,..temporarily,..that the/particular strengths..*you will..*both develop..and use..are precisely..those which..the other/must*..supply..now. You..who will be..the strength of God..are quite weak,..and you..who will/be God’s help..are clearly in need of help...What better plan..could have been devised..to/prevent..the intrusion..of the ego’s..arrogance on/the outcome? Undermining..the foundation..of an ego’s thought-system MUST be perceived as..painful,..even though..this..is anything but true. Babies scream..in rage..if you take away a/knife or..a scissors, even though..they may*..well harm themselves..if you do not...The speedup..has placed you both..in the same position. You..are NOT by any means prepared, and in this sense..you ARE babies...You have/no sense of real self-preservation..and are very likely..to decide that you need precisely/what..would hurt you most. Whether you know it..now or not,..however,..you both HAVE willed to cooperate..in a concerted..and very commendable/effort to become both harm*LESS..and help*FULL,..*two attributes which MUST go together. Your attitudes,..even toward this,*..are necessarily conflicted,..because ALL attitudes..are ego-based. This will not last. Be patient awhile,..and remember..what we have said once before;..the outcome..*is as certain..as God! Helen..used to perceive..the quotation..“To him that hath shall be given”..as a paradox..that bordered on the ironic. She also..had a similar reaction..to another related one: “Faith..is the gift of God.”..We have reinterpreted..both of these statements before,..but perhaps we can make them..even clearer now. Only those..who have a real..and lasting sense.. of abundance..can be truly charitable...This is quite obvious when you consider..the concepts involved. To be able to give..*anything implies..that you can do without it. Even if..you associate..giving with sacrifice,..you still give only because..you believe you are..somehow getting something better..so that you can do..without the thing you give. “Giving to get”..is an inescapable law..of the ego, which ALWAYS..evaluates itself in..*relation to others’..egos,..and is therefore..continually..*pre*occupied..with the scarcity principle which..gave rise to it. This IS/the meaning of Freud’s..“pleasure principle.” Freud was the..most accurate..“ego psychologist”.we ever had, although..he would not..have preferred..this description of..himself. His ego..was a very weak..and deprived concept,..which could function..ONLY as a thing..in need...The..“reality principle”..of the ego is not real..at all...It is forced..to perceive the..“reality” of other egos,..because it CANNOT*..establish the reality of itself. In fact,..its..whole perception/of..other egos..AS real is..ONLY..an attempt..to convince..*itself..that..*IT..is real. i..am that..i am. Posted by one under god, Saturday, 9 November 2013 2:33:30 PM

"Self esteem,”..in ego terms,..means nothing more..than that the ego has..deluded itself..into accepting its reality..and is therefore temporarily..less predatory.
This..“self esteem”..is/always vulnerable to stress,..a term which really means that..a condition has arisen..in/which the delusion of reality..of the ego..is threatened...This produces either..ego-deflation..or ego-inflation,..resulting in either withdrawal*..or attack. The ego literally*..lives by/comparisons..This means that equality is beyond its.. grasp,..and charity becomes impossible. The ego..NEVER gives out-of abundance,..because it was made..as a substitute..for it...This is why..the concept of GETTING..arose in the ego’s thought-system...All appetites are..“getting”/mechanisms..representing ego-needs..to confirm itself. This is..as true..of bodily/appetites..as it is of the..so-called..“higher”..ego needs..[drives]. Bodily appetites..are NOT physical/in origin,..because the ego regards the body*..as its home,,,and DOES try..only..to satisfy itself through the body. But the IDEA..that this is possible..is a decision of the ego, which is*..completely confused..about what is..really possible./true/good. This accounts..for its..essential..erratic-ness...Consider..the inevitable confusion..which MUST arise from..a perception of the self which responds:..When..I was completely..on my own I..“had no idea what was possible.” The ego..DOES believe it..is completely..on its own, which is merely..another way of/describing..how it originated. This is such..a fearful state..that it can only turn/to other egos, and unite..*with them..in a feeble attempt..at identification,*..or attack them..in an equally/feeble show..of strength...[fear avoidence] The ego..is free to complete..the stem:..“When I was completely on my own”..in any way..*it chooses,..but it is NOT free..to consider the validity..of the/premise itself,..because this premise..*is its FOUNDATION. The ego..IS the belief..of the mind..that it is completely*..on its own. The ego’s ceaseless attempts/to gain..the Soul’s acknowledgement.. and..thus establish..ego-tism..of..its own self-existence..are utterly useless. The Soul in its knowledge..is unaware of the ego...It does NOT attack the ego...It merely cannot conceive..of it at all. While the ego is equally..unaware of the Soul.. it DOES perceive itself..as rejected..by something which is greater/than itself. This is way..self-esteem..in ego terms MUST be..with-held..as a delusion...The creations..of God do/not create myths,..but..the creative-efforts..of man..can turn to mythology,..but only..under one condition. What..man then makes..is no longer creative. Myths..are entirely perceptions..and are so ambivalent..in form, and so characteristically/good..and..evil in nature..that the most benevolent..of them..is not..without fearful/components,/if..only in innuendo. Myths..and magic.are closely/associated,..in that..myths are usually related..to..the ego*origins,..and magic..to the..powers..which the ego ascribes..to itself. Every..mythological-system...includes..an account..of..“the creation,”..and..associates..this..with its*/particular..perception..of magic.

The “battle of for survival”..is nothing more than the ego’s struggle to preserve..itself..and its interpretation..of its own beginning. This beginning is always associated with/physical birth, because nobody maintains that the ego existed before that point in time.
The religiously ego-oriented..tend to believe that the Soul existed before,..and will continue..to exist afterward, after a temporary lapse into ego-life. Some actually believe that the/Soul will be punished for this lapse, even though in reality it could not possibly know..anything about it. The term “salvation”..does NOT apply to the Soul,.which is not in danger..and does..not need to be salvaged...Salvation is nothing more that..“right-mindedness”..which is/NOT..the one-mindedness of the Soul,..but which must be accomplished..before onemindedness..can be restored. Right-mindedness dictates..the next step automatically,.because right perception..is uniformly without attack,..so that wrong-mindedness is obliterated...The ego cannot survive without judgment,.and is laid aside accordingly. The..mind then has..now..only ONE direction in which it can move. The directions which the mind..will take are always automatic, because they cannot/BUT.be dictated by the thought-system to which it adheres. Every thought-system has/INTERNAL consistency,.. and this does provide..a basis for the continuity of behavior. However,..this is still reliability..and NOT,,any indication..of validity. Reliable behavior..is a meaningful/usefull/functioning perception,..as far as ego..thinking goes.]..However, VALID behavior is an expression which/is inherently contradictory,..because validity is*..an END,..and behavior is a means. These..cannot be combined logically,..because when an end has been attained,..the means for its..attainment are no longer meaningful. Test constructors/recognize..that there are different kinds of validity,..and also that..they are of different orders...of progression/process..sequential..evolution. That This..focus/limiting..of means..indicates..that they*..do/not..mean true/truth..and do not..pretend..to mean it. Test validity can be judged..by logic,..by theory,..and by practice,..each..being regarded as..a different dimension. In each case,...the amount of confidence..is/expressed in some form of percentage,..either quantitatively,..or merely in terms of..“high,” moderate,..and low...probability/eventuality.. But a hypothesis..is tested..as either true or false,..to be accepted or/rejected accordingly...If it is shown..to be true..it becomes a fact,..after which no one..attempts to evaluate..it unless its status AS fact is questioned. and..the unthinking mind ..refuses to re*think..yet continues..its miss-creation.[..its..own-ideas] EVERY idea..which the ego has accorded..the status of fact is questionable,..because..facts..are in the realm of knowledge...not ideas.

This is why psychologists..are concentrating increasingly on the ego,..in an attempt to unify..their clearly unrelated data...into specific..*individual preference It need hardly be said that any attempt..to relate the un-related,,[un-relatable]..cannot succeed. The recent..ecological/evolving/science..emphasis..is but..a more ingenious-way..of trying..to impose/order..on chaos...after-all..We have already..credited..the ego with..considerable ingenuity,..*though not..with creativeness. But it should/always be remembered..that inventiveness.is really wasted effort,..even in its..most ingenious forms...We do/not..(have to EXPLAIN..anything. This is why..we need not/trouble..ourselves..with inventiveness. The highly/specific nature..of invention..is not worthy..of the abstract creativity..of God’s Creations...seeking to further...miss-create. Dec.27,/1965 When H...reads this..to you,..Bill, do..try to listen..very carefully.[visualise the words] You..have never..completely..understood what..“The Kingdom..of Heaven..*is..within you”..means. The reason..you cannot understand/it..is because it is NOT understandable..to the ego,..which interprets it..*as if something outside..is inside,..which does/not..logicly..mean anything...to it. to..your ego..The word..“within”..does not belong. ergo..as..your ego..lies within..The Kingdom..of Heaven IS you. What else...BUT you did..the Creator create, and what else..but you..IS His Kingdom? This is..the whole message..of the Atonement,..a message which in/its totality..transcends..the sum of its parts..which we have covered before. Christmas..is not a time;..*it is..a state of-mind.

You, too, have a Kingdom..which your Soul has created.
It has not ceased to create..because your ego has set you on the road of perception...Your Soul’s creations..are no/more fatherless..than you are. Your ego and your Soul..*will never be co-creators, but your Soul..and YOUR Creator will ALWAYS be...*Be confident that your creations are as safe as..you are. The Kingdom is perfectly united and perfectly protected, and the ego..will not/prevail against it... Amen. That was written..in that form because..it is a good thing to use..as a kind of prayer in..moments of temptation...It is a declaration..of independence.[via inter-dependance] You will..both find..it very helpful..if you understand it fully. In its..characteristic upside-down way, the ego..has taken..the impulses from the/super [cloud-mind heart conscious..and perceives them..as if they..*arise in the unconscious. The ego judges..what is..to be accepted,..and the sensual-impulses from..the super-conscious..are unacceptable to it,..because they clearly point to..the un-existence..of the ego itself. The ego therefore..experiences threat,..and not only..censors..but also reinterprets..the data.arriving thus at fraud [baseless-fatherless fact..*However,..as Freud very correctly pointed out..what you do*not perceive..you still know,..and it can..retain a very active life..BEYOND your..conscious-awareness. Repression thus operates..to conceal.not only the baser impulses, but also the most/lofty ones..from the ego’s awareness,..because BOTH are threatening..to the ego and,.being concerned..primarily with its preservation.. in the face..of threat,..it perceives them..as..the same. The threat value..of the lofty..is really much/greater to the ego, because the pull..of God Himself..can hardly be equated..with the pull..of human appetites..and..their reason..for being..[meeting the measure of needs..of ego.][above that..of the flesh..yet subservient under..that of spirit/heart-mind.] By perceiving..them as the same,..the ego attempts..to save itself..from being swept-away,.as it would..surely be..in the presence of knowledge.

The upper level of the..unconscious..thus contains the call
of God..*as well as..the call of the body...That is why..the basic conflict..between love and fear..is unconscious. The ego..cannot tolerate either and..represses both..by resorting to inhibition...inactivity/mindfullness..timidity Society depends..on inhibiting the former,[god] but SALVATION depends..on disinhibiting the latter.[self].. The reason you need my help..is because you have..repressed inhibited..your own guide,..and..therefore need..a sure-guidance. My role is..to separate the true..from the false..*in your own unconscious,..so it can break through..the barriers the ego has set up..and shine into your/minds...like a gentle cooling/mist..gently [but briefly]..wetting the parched desert...before the next hellish day. Against..our united strength,..the ego CANNOT prevail. It should be quite apparent..to you by now.. why the ego..regards..the Soul as its..“enemy.”..[The ego arose from the Separation,..and its continued/existence depends on/your continuing belief*..in the Separation. but..by..Reducing the Soul impulses..to the unconscious, the ego..has to offer you some sort of reward..for maintaining this belief...yet..All it CAN offer..is a sense*..of temporary existence, which begins..with its own beginning..and ends with its*own ending. It tells you that this life..is YOUR existence..because it IS..its own. Against this sense of temporary existence,..the Soul offers the knowledge..of..permanence..*and unshakeable BEING...No one who has experienced..*the revelation of..this can ever fully believe in the ego again. How can its meager offering..to you prevail against.the glorious gift of God? You who identify with your egos.. cannot believe that God loves you. YOU do not love what you have made,..and what you have made does not love you. Being made out/of the denial of the Father, the ego has no allegiance..to its own Maker...You cannot conceive of the real relationship..that exists between God and His Souls,..because of the/hatred..you have for the Self..*you have made. You project..onto your own idea..of yourself..the will to separate,..which conflicts..with the love you..also feel for what you have made/because you made it. No human love is..without this ambivalence,..and since no ego has experienced love..*WITHOUT ambivalence,..the concept is beyond its understanding.

truly...[true..eternal-love] This means..that..mind..wants it..WITHOUT*ambivalence,..and..this kind of..envisioning/focused wanting..is wholly..without the..ego’s..“drive..to get*.” There is..a kind of..desired-*experience..that is..so different..from anything..the ego..can offer that..you will never..re-cover..[cover over]..*it. The word..cover..[rather than covert]..is used quite..literally here, —you will..*never be able/to..hide..from healing/graceful..useful-living loving..again.

While..I am not..attacking your egos,..I AM..working with..your higher mind whether..you are asleep or awake,..(just as/your ego does with..your lower mind.)
I am your/vigilance..in this,..because you..are too confused..to recognize..the dangers..of..your own hope. I was not mistaken...Your minds..WILL elect..to join with mine,//and together we are..3...[god/you/me]..are..invincible. You two..[bill/helen]..will..yet come together.. in my name..and your sanity..between each..of you..will be restored. I raised..the dead..by KNOWING/that life..*is an eternal attribute..of everything..that..the living..God Created. [energy..cannot..be created..nor destroyed] Why..do you believe that/it is harder..for me to..in-spire the..dis-spirited..or to..stabilize..the unstable?..you know..I do not believe..that there is an/order..of difficulty in miracles:..BUT*..YOU do. I have called..and you will answer...I know that miracles..are natural/normal,..because..they are expressions of love. My calling..of..you is as natural..as sure/good/true..your answer.,..and..it is..as inevitable. 1/12/1966 ALL things can/will..work together..for good...when..There are NO..exceptions..except..in nont-he acceptances..in the ego’s-judgment. unbiased self Control..is a central factor.in what the ego..*permits into consciousness,..and one..to which it devotes its maximum vigilance...*This is NOT..the way..ta balanced mind holds hings..together...*ITS control..is unconscious...much like its fears. The ego..is further off balance..by keeping..its primary motivation..subsumed/under..the UN-conscious,..and..only raising control..rather than sensible/non-judgment into predominance. It..has every reason to do/this,..according to the..same ego-thought-system..which both..gave rise to it..and which it serves. its..in-Sane..judgment..would inevitably..judge AGAINST it-self,..and this fear..MUST be..obliterated..by the ego..in the/interest of its self-preservation. A crucial source..of the ego’s off-balance/state is..its lack of..discrimination between..impulses from God..and from those..of the body. Any thought-system..which makes real..of THIS confusion MUST be insane...Yet this demented state..*is ESSENTIAL./to the ego, which judges..ONLY in..terms of threat..or non-threat..good..or..better..as-TO IT-SELF. In one sense, the ego’s fear of the idea of God is at least logical, because this idea/DOES dispel it. Fear of dissolution from the higher source, then, makes SOME sense in..ego terms. But fear..of the body,..with/which..the ego..identifies so closely,..is more blatantly/senseless. The body..is the ego’s home ..by its own election...It is the only identification/with which..it feels safe, because..the body’s vulnerability*..is its own best argument that..you CANNOT be of God. THUS..This is..the miss-belief..that it sponsors eagerly...Yet the ego hates*...the body,..because it does/not accept..the idea*..that the body..is good enough..as its home.. but..then..the flesh..dies..then what..has ego/ergo..got?

Here..is where..the mind/becomes..actually dazed.[do/not-be bedazzled]
to..accept..Being..told..by the ego..that..it is really part of the body,..and that..the body..is its protector,..it is also..constantly informed...that the body can NOT protect it. This,..of course,..is not only true,..but perfectly obvious. Therefore,..the mind asks,..“Where can I..*go..for protection?”,..to which..the ego..replies,..“Turn to me.” The mind,..and not/without cause,,,reminds the ego..that it has..itself insisted/that it-IS..identified with the body,..so there is no point..in turning..*to it*..for protection...The/ego...has no real answer..to this/because..there isn’t any. But..it DOES have..a typical/solution. It.,*obliterates..the question..*from the..mind’s awareness.[re-call] Once unconscious,..it can and..does produce uneasiness,..but it cannot..be answered..*because..it cannot..*be asked. This..is the question/which..MUST be asked: “Where..am I/to..go for protection?”[Only/an insane mind..FAILS to ask it.]..Even the insane..ask it unconsciously,..but it requires real sanity..presence/of mind..to ask it..consciously. If you .will remember..your dream..about the recorder,..which was remarkably..accurate/in some ways..because it came*.partly from ego-repressed/knowledge,..the real problem/was correctly..stated as “What..is the question?”...because, as you very well/knew,..the answer COULD..only,..be found..if the question's..were recognized. If you remember,..there were/a..number of solutions..you attempted,..[all ego-based,]..not..because you thought..they would really work,..*but..merely..because the question*ITSELF..was obscure. When..the Bible..says..“Seek..and ye..shall find,” it does*NOT mean..that you should...seek blindly..and desperately..*for something you.wouldn’t recognize...*Meaningful seeking..is consciously /undertaken,..*consciously-organized,..and consciously directed. B’s..chief..contribution/to..your joint venture is..his insistence that..the goal*..*be formulated clearly,..and KEPT..IN the noon-abstracted-MIND. You,..Helen,..are not..good..at doing/this...You still search for..many gods..simultaneously,..and this goal*confusion, when..given..a strong will,..MUST produce..chaotic behavior.[miss-creations] B’s..*behavior..is not chaotic,..because he..is not so much..goal-divided..as not..goal-ORIENTED...Where..Helen has over*invested..in many goals,..B has..under-invested..in ALL goals. He has...the_advantage..of..*POTENTIALLY greater..freedom from..distract-ibility,..but he/does..not care*enough to use it. Helen has..the advantage of..great effort,..but she keeps..losing sight of..the unfocused/il-determinate..end-goal. B..has very intelligently/suggested..that you both..should set yourself..the goal of really*...studying.for this course. T..here can be..no doubt..of the..wisdom..of this decision,.for any student who..wants to..pass it[s revelations. But,..knowing..of your individual..weaknesses..as learners and being..a teacher...with some experience, I must remind you..that learning*..[earning]..and wanting to*..learn..are inseparable. All learners..learn best..*when they believe..that what.they are..trying to learn..is of value/to them...But values..in this world..are hierarchical,..and not/everything..you may WANT to/learn..has lasting value...[some/must-be earned] Indeed,..many of/the..things you..want to learn..are chosen because..their value..will not/last.[but this too/must be learned] Posted by one under god, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 4:52:12 PM

The ego..of mind..thinks..it is/an..advantage..not to
commit..itself to anything..that is eternal,..because the eternal MUST*..come from God. Eternalness..is the one/function..that the ego..has tried..to develop,..but..has systematically/failed..It may surprise you..to learn..that had the ego..*willed..to do so,*it COULD/have made the..eternal,..because,..as a product/of..the mind..*it IS..endowed with..the power.*of its..own/creator. *But..the DECISION..to do this,..*rather than..the ABILITY to do it..is what..the ego..cannot tolerate...That is because..the decision,..*from which..the ability would naturally/develop,..*would necessarily*..involve true perception,..[a state..of clarity]..which the ego,*fearful..of being judged..thus..truly,..MUST avoid. The results..of this dilemma..are peculiar,..but no more so..than..the dilemma.itself... The/ego..has reacted characteristically here..as elsewhere,..because..a compart-mental illness,..which is...ALWAYS..a form of*..ego-involvement,..is not a problem of reliability..as much as of validity. The ego compromises..with the issue..of the eternal,.just as it does..com-promise..with all issues that/touch on..the real question..in ANY way...conflicting..their imp-licite reply By compromising..in connection/with..all...TANGENTIAL questions, the ego..hopes to hide..the REAL question..and keep it.OUT OF conscious-MIND. Its characteristic..“business”..[pre-occupation]. with non-essentials..is..precisely for..that avoidance-purpose. watch..the redirection/egsample] EGO/says..Consider..the alchemist’s..age-old attempts to turn..base metal..into gold...(This typo/was..originally..“god”). but even..by harvesting the error early... gold..was revealed..as/even..including god..[good] if gold was goof..who..would want it? The..one question..which..even..the alchemist..did not permit himself..to..ask was..“What For?”..He COULD-not..ask this,..because it would immediately..become/apparent..that there was no sense.in his efforts,..even..if he succeeded.[are real-diamonds..the same value;..as fake?] is gold..better than god? The ego..has..also/countenanced..some strange..compromises..with the idea..of the eternal,..making odd attempts/to relate..the concept to..the unimportant..in an effort/to satisfy..(still]..the mind without..jeopardizing//ego..[itself]. Thus,..egi..has permitted many..good minds/to devote themselves..to perpetual E-MOTION,..but NOT..to perpetual THOUGHTS. Ideal additional preoccupations..with..emotive..sub-sets..of conceptual problems..set up..to be..incapable of solution..are another favorite ego device..for impeding..the strong-willed from real progress in..emotive-learning. The problems..of squaring the circle,..and of carrying pi..to infinity..are good examples. A more..recent ego-attempt..is particularly/noteworthy. The idea..of preserving the body/by suspension,..thus giving it the kind..of limited immortality..which the ego can tolerate,..is among..its more recent..*appeals to the ego-mind. It is noticeable..that in/all..these diversionary tactics,..the ONE question..which is/NEVER asked..by those..who pursue them..is “What for?”[for..what good?][which god] This is..the question..which YOU*must...learn..REMEMBER*..to ask in connection..with everything *..your mind wills..your flesh/body..to undertake. What is..your purpose? Whatever..it is,..you cannot doubt/that.. if.it will..that will..channelize your efforts-automatically. When..you make*..a decision..of purposed-creation,..only then, you HAVE made a decision..about..A future effort,..a decision which will remain..in effect..until/UNLESS..you change the..DECISION. there is order..even..in/the forgotten order.

Psychologists..[and..in..this-day/age..who..isnt;)..are in a good position..to realize..that the ego..[id/of-self]..is capable of making*..and..destroying..rejecting..or..accepting..as if/real..some very..distorted associations..which are not true.

“A..little-knowledge”..is..not dangerous..except to the..fragile-ego.
The..essential thing..to remember always..is that the ego DOES*NOT-0RECOGNIZE..the..real_source..of its perceived*..threat. And..if YOU associate yourself..WITH the ego,..YOU do not perceive..the whole..mis-created/mis-percieved..situation..as it really is. Only your allegiance..to it..disillusioning..gives the ego ANY power..over you. only..but Vaguely..does...the egosense..threat,..and, conscious..mind..simply ..by being unable..[unwilling]..to realize that..“a little-knowledge”..is..in/of itself..a meaningless phrase because..“all”..and..“a little”..[in this context]..are the same, that which decides..derides.. that..since..“all”..is impossible, the fear..does not..lie with-in..this..all. “A little,”..however,..is a scarcity concept,..and..this..the ego..understands well. Regarding..“all”..as impossible,..“a little”.. is perceived..as..if..[the..only]..possible..thus is,,then..the real threat. We have spoken..of the ego..as if it were..a separate thing, as if..it..was capable..of acting on..its own...This was necessary to persuade..you that you..cannot dismiss it lightly,..and NOW*..MUST realize..how much..of your thinking..is ego-directed. But..we cannot safely..leave it at that,..or you..will regard yourselves..as necessarily conflicted. as long as..you are here,..or more properly,..as obg as your..ego choses..to BELIEVE..that you are here. The ego..is nothing more..than a PART of..your fixated passions crystallized..[realized..into mis-belief..about your..own..egoistic[[,jingo-mystic]..selves. Your other/life..as asun..of the fat-her..has continued without interruption,..and..has been..and always will be..totally unaffected by..your attempts..*to dissociate...from..him...all living..all*loving.. him..[the most]..just loving..serving..[even..the least]..the deserving living feast..teaching/learning/earning..the most..as well as..the undeserving..alike..[equal wages][par-rabble] The ratio..of repression..of other[and even..of true-self]..and dissociation..from the eternal/infinite goods..of..gods/love of truth*..varies..within..the individual ego-illusion..of self. (tell Bill..that phrase..is VERY good),*but dissociation..is always*..involved,..or..you would/not..even..believe that you ARE here. When I told Bill..to concentrate..on the phrase..“here I am,..Lord,” I..*did-not..mean..“in..this world”..by..the words..“here.”..I wanted him*..to think/of himself..as..a separate consciousness, fully..capable of..direct communication..with the Creator*..*of that consciousness...he claims to-be. He,..too,..MUST/begin to think of himself..as a very powerful receiving*..and sending channel,..to me[like you]..a description I once gave you..symbolically...remember? Remember..that HE understood it..even..before you did, because..you are more..dissociative..[more easy distracted]..and less repressed. Your great debt..to each other .is something you should never forget...It is exactly..the same debt..that you owe..to me. Whenever..you react egotistically..towards each other, you..are throwing away..[pushing..good/god away]..which/the graciousness..of your indebtedness..and the holy perception it..would produce...[could restore].. The reason why..the term..“holy”..can be used here*..is that,..as you learn..how..*much you ARE..indebted..to the whole Sunship..which includes me,..you come as...close to true/useful..knowledge...as perception ever can...perceive. This gap is..so small that knowledge..can easily..flow across it.. and obliterate..darkness..and ignorance/ hunger and need..filth..and greed,..*forever. first need..see it..in..mind.. then..perceive it..in..*kind..then enjoy it.. leaving all..pain dread..insecurities..illusion..fears..behind.

You..have very little trust..in our,father..as yet,..but it
will increase..as you turn..more and more/often to me..instead of to your egos..for self-guidance. The results..of love lived.will convince you increasingly that..your choice in turning to me..is the only..sane one you can make...No one who has/learned.from experience..*that one choice brings..peace..fulfillment..and joy..while..another..that brings chaos..and disaster..needs much re-conditioning. The ego cannot withstand..the conditioning/process,..because the process..itself DEMONSTRATES..that there is..another way...than self abusing..the me..in thee. The classic conditioning..by rewards model.. has..always been..the..most effective. Howard..Hunt..made a very good point..in this..heart-mind..connection,..even though he did..not understand that the real reason..why conditioning through pain..is not the most efficient method..is because.. emotive-pain itself..is an ego-illusion,..and thus..by its nature..can never induce more than..a temporary/temporal..effect. The rewards..of God's goods..are of immediacy once felt..to thus..be immediately..recognized as eternal. Since this recognition is*..made by YOU and NOT..by your ego,..the recognition..ITSELF *establishes..that you and..your ego..*CANNOT be [one]..identical. You..may believe..that you/have already..accepted the difference,..but..you are by no means convinced..as yet. The very fact..that you are..yet..even now..preoccupied only..with the idea..of escaping FROM..the ego..shows this. You cannot escape..from the ego..by humbling it,..or controlling it, nor punishing it. The ego..and the Soul*DO NOT..KNOW each other. The separated..materialist..mind cannot maintain the separation..EXCEPT by..the desperation..of dissociating. Having done this,.it utilizes repression..against all/truly natural impulses,..not because the EGO..is a separate thing,..*but because you want,,or NEED,to/believe..that YOU are...the ego. The ego..is a input-device..for maintaining..this belief,..but it is still only*..YOUR willingness..to..abuse..the device..that enables it..to endure...[just input the right energy..into..it] [love in=love out].

I have told you several times that I am in charge of the whole Atonement. This is
ONLY because I completed by part in it as a man, and can now complete it through other men. My chosen receiving and sending channels cannot fail, because I will lend them MY strength as long as theirs is wanting. I will go with you to the Holy One, and through MY perception HE can bridge the little gap. Your gratitude to each OTHER is the only gift I want. I will bring it to God for you, knowing that to know your brother IS to know God. A little knowledge is an all-encompassing thing. If you are grateful to each other you are grateful to God for what He created. Through your gratitude you can come to know each other, and one moment of real recognition makes all men your brothers because they are all of your Father. Love does not conquer all things, but it DOES set all thing right. Because you are all the Kingdom of God, I can lead you back to your own creations, which you do not yet know. God has kept them very safe in HIS knowing while your attention has wandered. Bill gave you a very important idea when he told you that what has been dissociated IS STILL THERE. I am grateful to him for that, and I hope he will not decide that it is true only for you. Even though dissociation is much more apparent in you, and repression is much more evident in him, each of you utilizes both. Wisdom always dictates that a therapist work through WEAKER defenses first. That is why I suggested to Bill that he persuade you to deal with REPRESSION first. We have only just about reached the point where dissociation means much to you, because it is so important to your misbeliefs. Bill might do well, - and you could help him here, - to concentrate more on HIS dissociative tendencies and not try to deal with repression yet Posted by one under god, Thursday, 14 November 2013 8:43:16 AM

I hinted at this when I remarked..on his habit of disengaging himself, and when I..spoke to him..about distantiation...These are all forms..of dissociation,..and these weaker/forms were always more evident in him than in you.
That is because..your..dissociation was so..extreme that..in your case..you did not have to hide it..because you were not aware that it..was there...Bill,..on the other hand,..DOES dissociate more than he thinks,..and that is why..he cannot listen. He does not need to go through the same course in repression that you did, because he will give up his major misdefense AFTER he has rid himself of the lesser..ones. Do not disturb yourself about repression,..Bill,..but DO train yourself..to be alert to..any tendency..to withdraw from your brothers...Withdrawal is frightening,..and you do not/recognize all the forms..it takes in you. Helen is right..that she will experience things..that will cut across..all her perceptions because..of their stunning/knowledge. You were right/that this will occur..when she learns..to recognize..what..she ALREADY knows..and has..dissociated...from[by fear].. You, Bill,..will learn..somewhat differently,..*because you are afraid*..[of all complete-involvement..,...and..so..miss-believe that they lessen..YOUr..higher/standing. You have learned..to be so much more..clear-sighted about this so/that you..should be ready..to oppose it..in yourself RELATIVELY easily...[when..you chose..to.] As you come closer..to..being..a brother,..you DO approach me, and as you..withdraw from..*him..I become distant to you. Your giant step forward..was to INSIST on..a collaborative/venture. This does NOT go...against..the true spirit..of meditation.*..it..IS8..inherent..*IN it. Meditation is..a collaborative_venture..with GOD..included..between..thee...It CANNOT be undertaken..successfully by those..who disengage..themselves..from the Sonship,..because they are disengaging themselves..from me. God..will come to you..only as you will..give Him to your brothers. Learn first of them,..and you/will be ready to hear God as you hear them...That is because the function..of love is..One..infinite..omnipresent..love. How can you..teach someone..the value of something he has thrown away..deliberately..as value-less..? He must have thrown it away..because he did NOT..see..the value..of it...You can only.*show him*how..miserable he is..*WITHOUT it,..and bring it..near very slowly,..so he can learn..how his/misery lessens as he..approaches it. This conditions him..to associate his misery..with its*ABSENCE, and to associate..the OPPOSITE of misery..*with its presence.

i thought to..try it twice..[with other format]
ABOUT THE CARDS IN YOUR READING Seer of Wands Seer of Wands In the Cover position Indicates the querent in relationship to the present situation. Meaning: Don’t be surprised at her frankness; the Seer of Wands is not one to mince words! Her hot temper and impulsiveness will get her into all kinds of trouble. Filled with the youthful notion that she is indestructible, she can be daring to the point of danger. This spunky girl may not be practical, but her enthusiasm is worth encouraging. It will lead her to her true calling. Maturity and responsibility can come later. This Seer may represent a bold person in your life, or she may be asking you to nurture your own adventurous spirit. Return to Top Death Death In the Cross position Represents the positive forces or assets in the querent's favor. If this card should happen to be a negative card, it indicates the nature of an obstacles that is hindering progress. (The card in this position is always interpreted in its upright manner.) Meaning: Despite the many negative associations with this card, it brings you an amazing gift: the possibility of transformation. Now is the time to release patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you. Have trust in the future, bid farewell to the past, and allow yourself to be reborn. Return to Top Ten of Pentacles Ten of Pentacles In the Beneath position Can be viewed as a message from the "higher self." It can also reflect the querent's potential aspirations. Meaning: In the Ten of Pentacles, we experience the satisfaction of having all our needs met. Having attained a lasting level of security, we have good reason to relax and to celebrate the abundance of life with friends and family. At the same time, this card speaks to the importance of creating something worth passing on to future generations. Posted by one under god, Friday, 15 November 2013 10:35:51 AM

Whatever your age,..start thinking..about the legacy you will leave.
What impact will your life have on the world? On an even deeper level, the Ten of Pentacles offers a gateway into the essence of its suit: that the everyday world contains magic and mystery that we are often too busy to acknowledge. Honoring this magic is perhaps the most profound and valuable legacy we can leave behind. The Lovers In the Crown position Represents past events and influences that color and give rise to the current situation. Meaning: When this card appears, be prepared for a new love in your life or be ready to work on a current relationship. The Lovers beckon you to be deliberate in your choices. The challenge is to learn how to give yourself without losing yourself. Trust in love, and don’t let fear keep you from commitment if it feels right. Eight of Cups In the Behind position Represents the preoccupation of the subconscious which filters into waking life, affecting moods and outlook. This is the underlying theme of dreams and the emotional undercurrent in the querent's life. Meaning: The heart’s yearning for a deeper meaning cannot be ignored. The Eight of Cups calls you to begin a spiritual quest, to withdraw your energy from the world to be more present with your inner life. Whether you hike up the Himalayas or retreat to your room, give yourself plenty of time alone. Creative solitude is the single most important thing that will help replenish your joy in living. You may also bring back greater self-awareness, spiritual insights, and possibly a whole new set of values. Six of Cups In the Before position Represents the state of the querent's relationships with others. Meaning: Just for now, leave the worries of the world behind. Live fully in the present. Even a few moments of such deep ease can seep into and change your life. If you are not experiencing the joy promised in the Six of Cups,..you might look..to your memories..for such a time.

I am conditioning you to associate misery with the ego, and joy with your Soul. You
have conditioned yourself the other way around. But a far greater reward will break through any conditioning, if it is repeatedly offered when the old habit is broken. You are still free to choose. But can you really WANT the rewards of the ego in the presence of the rewards of God? It should be clear that, while the content of any particular ego-illusion does not matter, it is usually more helpful to correct it in a specific context. Bill is right that you are too abstract in this matter. Ego-illusions are QUITE specific, although they frequently..change, and although the mind is naturally abstract, it became concrete voluntarily as soon as it splits. However, only PART of it splits, so only PART of it is concrete. The concrete part is the same part that believes in the ego, because the ego DEPENDS on the specific. It is the part that believes your existence means you are SEPARATE. Everything the ego perceives is a separate whole, without the relationships that imply BEING. The ego is thus AGAINST communication, except in so far as it is utilized to ESTABLISH separateness, rather than to abolish it. The communication system of the ego is based on its own thought-system, as is everything else it dictates. Its communication is controlled by its need to protect itself, and it will disrupt communication when it experiences threat. While this is always so, individual egos perceive different kinds of threat, which are quite specific in their own judgment. For example, although all forms of perceived demands may be classified (or judged) by the ego as coercive communication which must be disrupted, the response of breaking communication will nevertheless be to a SPECIFIC PERSON or persons.

God HAS kept..your kingdom..whole..for you,..but He..cannot
share..His joy..with you until you..know it..with your whole mind. Even revelation is not enough,.because it is communication FROM God...But it..is not enough.until it is shared. God does not need..revelation returned..to Him,..which would clearly be impossible,..but He DOES..*want revelation brought to..*others. This cannot be done..with the actual revelation,..because its content cannot be..expressed,..[impressed]..into miracle..and it is intensely...*personal[relitive..only..into the beings-mind..which receives it. think..like a radio..wave/band/or specific/unique..vibe But it can still be..returned..*BY that mind through its attitudes..to other minds..*which the knowledge..from the revelation..brings.[symbiosis..by..ozmosis].. God is praised..whenever any mind..yearns to be wholly helpful. This is impossible..without being wholly harmless,..because the two beliefs..*cannot coexist... The truly helpful..are TRULY-invulnerable,..because..they are NOT protecting..their egos,..so that nothing..CAN*..hurt/them.

I arranged for Bill..to attend the rehabilitation meetings..for very good reasons,..and I want him to know..them..so we can share our goal..*there. Properly speaking,..every mind which is split..need rehabilitation. The medical..orientation..emphasizes the body,..and the vocational orientation..stresses the ego.

The reason why Bill needs..this experience is because..he needs rehabilitating himself...How often have I answered..“help him” when you asked me*..to help you? He, too, has..asked for help,..and he has been helped whenever he (he).was truly ..helpful to you...He..has also gained to whatever extent he could give.

remember..this isnt all karma[we all have the right,,to wash
our own face..but not to put such..indelible..stain..upon other] forget..that we earn..all we own god gave us perfect..to be less..is by..mans freewill choice who in..their right-mind..will..chose no-face [or to loose face..lets face it..its sickening.. but..how much worse for them..to see..the..distortion's..of our face] ergo..control..ego To heal..is..simply..to make happy. I told you once..to think..how many opportunities..you have to gladden yourselves,..and how many..you have refused. the faces..WE NOW HAVE..are not our eternal-faces in..the next life we reflect..all the..faces..our faces faced..or diss-graced. This is..exactly the same..as..telling you that you have refused even.to want/try/intend..to heal yourselves...The light that belongs in..ALL*..of.you .is the..light of joy...*Randiance..*is not associated..with sorrow. the first flush..of face2 face..must include the love radiance....Depression .is often contagious,[fgace/to face]..but..*although it may[WILL*}..affect those..who come in contact with it,.they do not..*yield to its influence..wholeheartedly. SIN?..i see no..sin you are beautifull..now..but will be perfected..only in spirit//just chose what your face reflects..affects others..the long frown..brings us all down. But joy..calls for..the an integrated..deliberated willingness to share..the love..in it,..and thus/promotes the mind’s..natural impulse[inclinations]..to RESPOND..AS..the love..oneness of every-ONE. Those who attempt to heal..without being..*wholly joyous themselves call forth different/kinds of responses..at the same time,..and thus deprive others..*of the joy..of responding/wholeheartedly...by choice. To be wholehearted,..you MUST be happy. If fear..and love..cannot..coexist,..and if..it is impossible to be wholly..fearful..and remain joyously[ alive,..then the only possible..perpetual statement..isnt hate.. BUT is..with and in him omnipresent..in whole state..which..IS that of love.grace/mercy..goodness..be their rightful due There is..no difference..between love and joy. Therefore,.the/only possible whole state..IS the wholly joyous state-meant. To heal,..*or to make joyous,..is therefore the same as..to integrate..and MAKE ONE.[..atonement/at-one-meant].. That is why..it makes do difference..TO what part of BY..what part..of the Sonship the/healing is done./../*Every part benefits,..*and benefits equally. YOU are being blessed by/every beneficent thought of any of your brothers anywhere...[just like at present..many curse themselves. You..should want*..to bless/them in return,..out of gratitude. and certainly not return..bad for bad [only gods good is eternally true. You do not..have to know&..them individually,..nor they you.

Only God’s own..wholly/children..are worthy..to be channels
of..his beautiful joy,..because..only they *..are beautiful*enough to hold it..by sharing it.* It is..impossible..for a Child/of God..to love his neighbor..EXCEPT*as..much..as he..himself..allows..his love..of his own..himself...That is why..* the healer’s*prayer is,..“let me know..this brother..as I know..my-[inner-ego]-self.” Healing..is an act..of thought creation[*re-form]..by which two minds ..jointly..perceive their oneness,..and become..glad...[mutually*healing..each-other] This gladness..calls..to every part of..the Sonship the one-good/god ship..to rejoice..*with them,..and let God Himself*..go out..into them..and through*..them.,,for*them.. then..by them. Only..the healed mind..can experience/revelation..with-in.. real-time..[within..the living moment]..with lasting effect,..because revelation..is..*an experience..of pure joy...in re-cognizing If..you do_not will..to..be wholly joyous,..your mind cannot*,,have...what it does not..will*..to be.[have] Remember..that the Soul..knows*no difference..between being and having...The higher-mind..thinks..according to..the spirit..of laws..which..the Soul obeys,..and therefore..honors..only..good/uses..of the/laws..of God. To Him,[god]....*getting is meaningless,.. to him..and giving..*is all* god..by..Having everything,..knowing..the Soul..HOLDS..everything..in spirit..by GIVING it,..thus truely creating..as*..the Father..created. If you think/about it,..you will see..that,..while this kind of thinking..is totally alien to*having..the actual-THINGS,..even to the lower mind..it is quite comprehensible..in connection with/IDEAS. If you share..a physical possession,..you DO divide its ownership. But if you share/an IDEA,..you do NOT lessen it...*ALL of it is still yours,..although..*all of it..has been given/away. Further,..if the person..to whom you give it..accepts it as HIS, he reinforces..it in*..YOUR mind,..and thus INCREASES it. If you can accept..the concept that the world..IS one of ideas, the whole..belief in the/false association..which the ego has made between giving..and LOSING is gone. http://rinf.com/alt-news/breaking-news/secret-docs-show-tpp-is-worst-ever-trade-deal-for-public-health/ Let us..start..our process of rebirth? by..re-awakening with..just a few..simple concepts: Thoughts INCREASE..only..by being given away. The more..who BELIEVE in them,..the STRONGER they become. EVERYTHING is an idea. How,.then, is it possible..that giving..and losing can be meaningfully/associated?...*This is..by..the invitation..to..the Holy of Spirit. I told..you that I..could reach-up..and bring the Holy Spirit..down to you...But I can bring Him..to you only at your own invitation...The..*Holy Spirit..is nothing more than..your own right mind. He is also..with-in.mine. T..he Bible says, “May the mind..be in you..that was also..in Christ Jesus,” and a joyful..huh?-man..uses this..as a BLESSING. It is..the blessing of miracle-mindedness...It asks..only..that you may think..as I thought,..joining with/me..in Christ-thinking... by rejecting..even..merely giving thought-energy..into negative/judgmental..miss creative..miss-thinking.

The Holy-Spirit..is..the only part..of..the Holy/Trinity..*which is symbolic...He..is referred..to..in/the Bible..as/the Healer,..the Comforter,..and..the Guide.
He is..also described..as/something separate,..apart/from.. the Father..and..from the Son... as I..myself said,...“and if..I go I/will send..you..ANOTHER/comforter,..and he..*will abide..with you.” The Holy/Spirit..is a..difficult-concept..to grasp,..precisely *because..it IS symbolic,..and..therefore..open to..many different interpretations. As..a man..and as one of God’s creations,..*my right thinking, which came from..the Universal/Inspiration..[cloud-mind]..which IS the Holy Spirit,[wholy-mind]...taught me first..and foremost..*that this..Inspiration..is for ALL. I..could not..have it myself.without knowing.that. The word ..“know” is proper here,..because..the Holy..Inspiration is so close to..knowledge..*that ..*it calls forth,..or better,..allows it to come. We have..spoken before..of the/higher..or true perception,..which is so close..[to fearles-truth]..that God Himself..can flow across the little gap. Knowledge is always..ready to flow..everywhere,.. but it..cannot oppose...[it cannot..resist..any* blockage].. Therefore..you can obstruct it,..although..you can never lose it. The Holy Spirit..is the Christ mind..that senses..the indicative..flux and flow..of knowledge..[that lies beyond..material..conception..or perception.] knowledge..came into being..with the separation..of the witness[testament]..of its validation..[external..of self projection]..as a protection,..to retaining..its learning and was..inspired..from..the..beginning of..the Atonement at the same time...Before that,..there was..no need for healing..and no-one was comfortless. God honored even the miscreations..of His Children because they had made them....But he also..blessed them with..a way of thinking about them..that/could raise..their perceptions until..they became so lofty that..they could reach..almost back/to Him. The Holy Spirit..is the mind..meld..of the At-one/ment. It represents..a state of-mind..that/comes close enough to one-mindedness..that transfer..of learnings/verifications..of true knowing..is at last possible. As you well/know,..good//helpfull..transfer depends on common elements..in the old..re-colected [re-called]..learning..and the new situation..to which it is..affirmativly..transferred. the..Perception..is not..the knowledge,..but it can be..TRANSFERRED to knowledge,..or CROSS OVER..into it...It might even be..more helpful here..to use the literal..meaning “carried over,” for the last step..is taken..[carried]..by God. The Holy Spirit,..the shared*Inspiration..of all the Sonship, induces a kind of perception/in which many elements..are like*..those in the Kingdom..of Heaven Itself. First,..its universality..is perfectly clear, and no-one..who receives it..could ever believe for one instant..that sharing..*it..involves anything..*BUT gain. Second,..it is incapable*..of attack,..and is therefore..truly open...to defend..the truth..that is. This means that..although it does-not..engender knowledge,..it does not*..obstruct/it..in..any way...by*sharing thus..it..never*..gets used up..nor wasted., Posted by one under god, Saturday, 16 November 2013 4:21:49 PM

There..is/a point..at which sufficient/quantitative_changes
produce real..qualitative differences...[know-lewge]..but.. importantly..The next-point requires..the..real/understanding,..because ..it is..the point.at which the..shift..of perceptions..occurs. Finally,..it..*points..the way..beyond the..healing which..it brings,..and leads the mind..beyond*its own..ego-centric..integration..into the paths..of miracle-creation. Healing..is not creating;..it is reparation. The Holy Spirit..promotes healing..by looking..beyond how we would..perceive..it,..to that..what..the children..of God..*were before*..healing was needed,..and will be..again..when they have BEEN healed. This alteration..of the time sequence..should be quite..familiar, because it..is very similar..to the shift..in time perception..which the miracle/introduces. The Holy Spirit..is the..MOTIVATION..emoted[e-motivated]..for miracle-mindedness...It is..simply..by our..motivations..that instill..the will.[to HEAL/the separation..].by letting it go. It is..IN you..toenact..that envisioned..by will..because God placed it...in your mind,..and..although..you can keep it asleep..you cannot obliterate it... God Himself..keeps it alive..by..transmitting it..[our free will]..from His Mind..to yours..as long as there..is this perception..of linear-time... It..is partly..by*..His will..and partly..of..yours. The..miracle itself..is just/this fusion..or..re-union of will between..Father..[causation].and Son.[thefruit/result*] The Holy Spirit..is the Spirit of Joy. It is the call..to return,..back..to that..good of joy..[en-joy]..with/which God..blessed the..minds[even..of the separated Sons. This the vocation..of the..union..of higher-mind. It had..no calling..[reason/of being]...until the/separation, because..before..it had only good/true-being,..and would*not..have understood..the call..back to..right thinking. The Holy Spirit..was God’s-answer..to the..childish/divisive.. separation,..the means..by which..the Atonement..*could repair..[withdraw]....until the whole/trinity..of-mind..*returned..to merciful..useful-creating. The Atonement..and the separation..began at the same time. When self-minded-man..made..the ego,..God placed..*in him..the call of joy..This call is so strong..that the ego..*always dissolves at its sound. That is why..you can choose..to listen/to..two voices..within you. One you made..yourself,..[that asks/explains..and..the one that recuse/accuse/judge..that one..is not of God... But the other..is given you by God,..Who asks you only..to listen to it...knowing..its good..is of god..and the error..is of the ego/self. The Holy Spirit..IS in you..in a very literal sense. in.every cell..of your..smallest body-being.. It is..the good true..loving/forgiving..merciful..voice..that calls you back to*..where you were before..and will be..again. It is possible..even in this world..to hear ONLY..that good..true/loving/forgiving ..mercy full..voice..and no other. It takes effort..and great/willingness..to learn...loving all. It is the final..lesson that I learned,..and God’s Sons are as..equal as learners.as they are..as Souls...The voice of the Holy Spirit..IS the call..unto..all..to Atonement,[at-one-ment]. for..the restoration of..the integrity of..the mind...back..into wholeness. When the Atonement..is complete and the/whole Sonship is healed, there will be..no..need..for..a call..to return,..because..what God creates..is eternal...one for all..allfor..one...

You*..ARE..the embodiment..potent/quotient..of the Kingdom..of

The Holy Spirit..calls..you/both..to remember..*and forget. You...have chosen..*to be..in a state..of/opposition,..to..'other' ...only..with-in..which..opposites..*are possible. As..a result,/there ARE..choices..*which yo_ must*make. In..the holy-state,..the will..is free..[in-the..sense that..its creative/power..is unlimited,]..but choice/itself..is meaningless.

The voice..that..they put_into..their minds..*was NOT..the*voice of His/Will,..[for which.-the Holy-Spirit..speaks.] The call..to return..is stronger..than..the call..to depart,...but..it speaks..in a different*way.[tone/form..of address].. The voice..of..the/Holy-Spirit..*does not*..command, because..it.is...*incapable..of..arrogance...or..affecting..our freewill. It does/not demand,..because..it does*not..seek/to control. It..does*not..*overcome,..because it/does..not judge..nor..attack. *It merely..REMINDS. It..is compelling..only..because..*of...what..it reminds..you..*OF.

WITH..THE EGO..AS GUIDE...This..was BOUND..to produce fear.
Bill’s..better idea..needs to/be strengthened..in BOTH of you. Since..it..was HIS,..HE can increase it..by giving it to you. Delay..is of..the ego,-fear..because time..[proper-time]..is,,on..of ITS concepts. Delay is..obviously..an-ego-TIME idea. Both time..AND delay..are meaningless..in eternity. We have said.before..that the Holy Spirit..is God’s..*answer..to the ego. Everything..of which the Holy Spirit..reminds you is in/direct opposition..to the ego’s notions,..because true and false..*perceptions..are..of..THEMSELVES/opposed...The Holy Spirit has..the task of..UNDOING what,,errors/disharmoniousness..the ego has made. *It..must undo..hurtful..error..as/it..lies..with-in..the same realm of discourse..in which/..the ego itself operates,..*or[else].the mind would be/*unable to understand..the conceptual-change. We..have repeatedly emphasized..the fact that one level of the mind..is not understandable..to another...in..its specialised..area of experteaze[small..can read math] and/so..So it is..with the ego[materialist-self]..and the soul gods essence/as presence..of self]..,..and..as like/with/time and eternity. Eternity is an..idea..of God,..so that the soul..understands..*it..perfectly...Time/space..however..is a belief*..of the/ego,..and thus so that..of the lower mind,..which IS the ego’s..reclusive domain,..ego..accepts it without question.[unthinkingly] crucially..un-critically..The only*good/true..aspect of time which is..really eternal..is this..living..live* time..NOW. real-time..is..really..that truthfully..real..all the time*[now] That is..what we REALLY mean when we say..that now..*is the only time. The literal nature of this statement..does not mean..*anything to the ego...It interprets it,..at best,..to mean..“don’t worry about..the future.”..This is NOT..*what it really means..at all. The Holy Spirit..is the mediator..between the interpretations of the ego..and the..lived true/knowledge..of the Soul. Its ability..to deal with symbols..*enables it to work..AGAINST the ego’s missbeliefs..*in its..*own language. Its equal ability to look BEYOND symbols..into eternity..also enables it..to understand..the laws of God,..for which it speaks. It can thus perform the/function of RE-INTERPRETING what the ego makes,..not by destruction,;/..but by..further/under-standing. Understanding..is the..inner light,that presents..its remenmberance..of mind[in image]..and light leads to seeing..the revealed[by the light]..knowledge. The Holy Spirit is*..IN light,.;.because it is IN YOU..*who too..ARE light.[think..light=ENERGY[E*]..But you yourselves..do not..seek..to..know of/this...It is./therefore the task..of the Holy Spirit..to re-interpret..[convey]..clearly..that.. of you..revealed..to all..on behalf of good..of God. You cannot understand,,yet..even..the miracle..of..yourselves alone. This..is because you have.,no meaning apart from your rightful place in the Sonship, and the rightful place of the Sonship in God. This is your life, your eternity, and YOURSELF. It is of this that the Holy Spirit reminds you. It is this that the Holy Spirit SEES. Posted by one under god, Sunday, 17 November 2013 2:49:15 PM

It is..of this..living/loving/light..that the/Holy-Spirit
reminds you...It is this..that the Holy-Spirit..SEES...This vision invariably..frightens the ego,..early..because..it is..so calm. Peace is the ego’s..greatest enemy,..because according..to..*ITS interpretation..of reality,..war/greed/creed/rite/trite/right/ritual/rote..is the guarantee..of its survival. The ego..becomes strong in..the excitement/incitement/strife because..if you believe,,.[theidea]..there is strife,..you will seek..the will..react viciously..because..*the idea of/danger has entered your mind. This idea*..of miss-perception..[pre-judgment]..itself IS..an appeal..to the ego...implicit/need..in..meeting..the ego-lack. The Holy Spirit..is as vigilant..as the ego..to the call..of danger,..opposing it..with ITS//light-enlightend/strength just..as the ego WELCOMES..it with.all its might...The Holy Spirit counters..this/seemingly welcome..by welcoming peace. ife/love/Peace and eternity..are as closely related..[in-truth/light] as..are..death/fear/time and..war...[as untruths/darkness] Perception.as well as knowledge..derive their eternal/spiritual-meaning..from RELATIONSHIPS. *Those..which you..[ergo/ego]..accept are the..sure-firm[affirmed],,foundations..of your beliefs. The Separation..is merely another term..for a split mind. half sane..half lost..in..its..own..same*..[in-sane.] It.,.[relatedness]..was..not an act,..but a..true-thought. Therefore,..the idea of Separation..can be given away,..[asvadark-one]..just as the idea..of unity..can,be safely gifted..even as simple..an idea* and either way,..it will,,*be STRENGTHENED IN THE MIND OF..THE GIVER...The ego..is the symbol of the Separation,..just as..the Holy/Spirit.is the symbol of peace. What you..perceive in others.. you are STRENGTHENING..IN YOUR SELF. You let your mind..misperceive,..but the Holy Spirit allows/lets.your mind re-interpret..*its own mis-perceptions. The..wHoly Spirit..is the perfect teacher...It uses only what..pre-cept/con-cept..intercept..your minds..*ALREADY understand, that even try..to..teach you..that..you do not..understand it...The Holy Spirit..can deal with..an unwilling learner without going..counter to his,,nor theirs/will,..because part of his will..IS still..good-will..for Good...[of god] Despite..the ego’s attempts..to conceal this part,.it/is still..much stronger than the ego,..even though the ego..does not recognize it. The Holy/Spirit..allways/will..recognizes it perfectly, because..it is its..own dwelling-place,..or the place..in the mind where/it..is at home. YOU are at home/there,..too,..because it is a place of peace,..and ALL..peace....is of God.[men create pieces] You..who are part of God..are not at home..EXCEPT in His peace...If peace is eternal,..you are..at home only in eternity. The ego made the world..as IT miss-perceived,,it,..*but the Holy Spirit,..the RE-INTERPRETATION..of what the ego made,..sees it only as..a teaching device for..bringing..you home...safely..lovingly..timely..mercifully..assuredly.

Every..loving thought..held in..*ANY part..(of/the Sonship)..

Sharing..truth..is God’s..way of..positive..creating,..and also YOURS...Your*ego..can keep you..in exile..FROM the Kingdom..by..ego-disillusioned-fears..false-promises,[miss-creations]..but..in the E"ternal-Kingdom..itself..it has no..true-power. You have..become willing..to receive my messages..as I give them,..without interference*..by..your-ego,..so we..can clarify an earlier point..which was mentioned..before... We said that/you will..one day teach..as much as..you learn, and that..sure knowing..will keep you..in balance.[the first..must be..the last]. The time..is now,.because you..have let it be..until..*now...*You cannot..learn..EXCEPT by teaching. I heard..one voice..only..because I had learned that learning..is attained..only..BY teaching.

Show him..of ego..that he..CANNOT hurt you, and..that..you..hold nothing..at-all..against him, nor..that..you hold it..against yourself.!. Teaching..is done..in many ways,..by formal means, by guidance,..and above*..all BY..EXAMPLE. If you..will to learn,..to live..it you MUST.will to teach.[the idea..grows..only by sharing..its eternal fruits.. Teaching..is therapy because..it means..the sharing..of ideas, *and..the awareness[presence..of-mind]..that..to share them..is to strengthen them. The union..of the Sonship..IS its..own..loving-protection. The ego..cannot prevail against..the Kingdom..*BECAUSE..it is united, and..the ego..of divided-,mind..fades away.. and is undone..in the /presence..of the/attraction..of..the parts of the Sonship..which hear the call..of/the Holy Spirit..to be as One. I cannot..forget..my need to teach..what I have learned which arose..in me BECAUSE I..too..learned it.[and earned..it]. I call upon..you to teach..what you/have learned, because by..so doing YOU can..learn..the sure knowing..that you..can/depend on it. *Make it dependable..in my name,..because my name..is the..name of God’s..Sun...What I learned I give..you freely,..and the mind..which was/in me..rejoices..as YOU will..more..to hear it.

You..will..forsake..of..yourselves..and
your God..if you..forsake..any of YOUR brothers. You..are..far..more..than..just..your brother’s keeper. In fact..you do not..WANT to..keep him...yet..You must learn to see him..as he is,..and KNOW..that he..beyond..his station [ego]..belongs to God,..just..as much..as as you do. How..could you treat..your brother..better than by..rendering,..back..unto God..the things..which are God’s? Ideas..do not..LEAVE the mind..which thought them in order..to have..separate being...Nor do separate/thoughts conflict..with one/another..in space,..nor time..because they*do not occupy..any/place..in time..space at all.

Perhaps..this will become..clearer..and more
personally meaningful..if the ego’s..*use of/guilt..is clarified. The ego has..a purpose,..just as..the Holy/Spirit has. The ego’s..*purpose is/FEAR,..because only..the fearful can be egotistic. The ego’s logic..is as impeccable..as that/of..the Holy Spirit, because..your mind has..all the means at..its disposal to side..with Heaven..*or earth,..as it elects...[via freewill..coice. But..let us again remember..*that both*..potentialities..are in you. In Heaven..there is no guilt,..because the Kingdom.. is attained through the Atonement,..which creates it..in you. The word..“create”..is appropriate here,..because once..that YOU..have made..[mis-created]..is undone..by the Holy Spirit,..the blessed..remainder/residue..IS restored,.and therefore continues ..on..in creation. What is..truly blessed..is incapable of..giving rise..to guilt, and must..thus..give rise to joy...[of causal-acceptance].. This makes it..invulnerable..to the ego, because..its peace..via atonement..is unassailable. It is invulnerable to disruption BECAUSE it is whole. EG0-based/Guilt..is always disruptive...Anything that..engenders fear is divisive,..*because it[ego]..obeys..the law of division.[the precurser..tofear]. If..the ego is..the quint-essential..symbol..*of the separation,..it is also..*the symbol is..embodiment..of guilt. Guilt..is more..than merely..*not of God...It is..the symbol of the ATTACK..on God. This is..a..totally meaningless concept *EXCEPT to.the ego, b..ut do not..underestimate *the em-power-ment of..the ego’s..ruling/belief..in it.

We said.before..that..you/must..learn to..think WITH God's..good truths/grace/mercy/knowledge.

Delusional ideas..are NOT thought..but you CAN think..that you believe..in them...But you are wrong. The function of thought..comes FROM God.*and is IN God. As/part of HIS thought, you cannot think..APART from Him. Irrational thought is..a thought/DISORDER. God Himself orders your thought, because your thought..was created BY*..Him. Guilt feelings are always a sign..that you do not know this. They also show that you..believe..you CAN think..apart from God,.[and WANT to.] Every thought disorder..is attended by guilt.at its inception, and MAINTAINED..by/guilt in its continuance...Guilt is inescapable for those..who believe that they order..their*...OWN thought,..and must therefore obey its..ego/[herd-mind]..orders.

The purpose of the Atonement is to save the past..in PURIFIED form only. If you accept the remedy..FOR a thought-disorder, and a remedy/./whose efficacy is beyond/doubt, how can its symptoms remain?

It will also turn back to full creation the instant it has done so.

All/the Sons of God are waiting..for your return, just as YOU..are waiting for THEIRS...Delay/does not matter in eternity,..but it IS tragic..in time. You have elected to be in time rather/than in eternity, and have therefore changed..your belief..in your status...But election is both free and alterable...You do NOT belong..in time. Your place is ONLY..in eternity, where God Himself..placed you forever. Guilt feelings..are the PRESERVERS..of time.

But you can and MUST. God offers you the continuity..of eternity in/exchange.

My role..is only to unchain your will..and..set it free...Your egos cannot accept this freedom,..and will oppose..your free decision..at every possible moment,..and in every/possible way.

Alternate..interpretations..[where..gods/goodness..
has..become..miss-creations..of men]..are unnecessary.. until the..first one..has been made, and...speaking itself..was unnecessary..before the ego..was made. The ego..speaks in..absolutes..in egoist-judgment, and..the Holy Spirit..reverses..ego's decisions.. much as the Supreme Court..has the power to*reverse..the lower courts decision..about the laws..of this world. The ego’s *decisions..are ALWAYS wrong,..because they..are based on..a complete..seperation/fallacy..which they are..made to uphold. *NOTHING it perceives..is interpreted correctly. Not only..does it cite scripture..*for its..own/instinctive-advantage/purpose,..but it even/interprets scripture..as a witness/for itself. The Bible..is a fearful thing..to..the ego, because..of..its..imagined..pre*judiced..judgment. Perceiving..biblical-judgments..as fearful,..it interprets it..that..of the word..fearfully. ergo..ego..Having made*..YOU afraid,.. why..you do not/appeal..any fear..to the higher court,.. it cannot..find..against..you..because you miss-percieve..mis-believe..in..the justness..of its judgment..ever..could be..found..AGAINST you. We need site..only a few examples..to see how..the beastly- herd/mind-ego’s interpretations..have mislead..you... A favorite ego quotation..is “As ye sow,..so shall ye reap.” Another..ego/mind..favorite..fear..mechanism..is “Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord.”..Still another is..“I will visit the sins of the fathers..unto the third and..the fourth generation.”..And also, “The wicked shall perish.” There are..many others,..in..all holy/texts..but..if you will..let the Holy Spirit..reinterpret these..*in its own light,..they will/suffice. “As ye sow,..so shall..ye reap” merely means..that what..you believe..to be worth cultivating..in ..other.you will..seek..to..cultivate in yourself. Your*..own.judgment..of what..is worthy DOES..make it/worthy..for you. “Vengeance..is mine..sayeth..the Lord” is easily explained..if you/remember..that ideas increase*..*only..*by being shared.*....This quotation therefore..emphasizes..the fact/that vengeance*..CANNOT..be shared. Give it..fully..therefore..to the/holy-spirit, who will..undo it..completely..in you..simply..because it does/not..BELONG..*in..your mind,..[which..is a/part of God.] “I will visit..the sins of..the fathers unto..the third..and fourth generation,”.as interpreted by the ego,..is particularly vicious...It is used,..in fact,..as an attempt..to guarantee its survival/beyond itself. Actually,..all it really means..is that..the Holy Spirit..in later generations./retains/the power..to interpret CORRECTLY..what*..former generations..*have thought,..and thus release..*THEIR thoughts*..from the ability/to..produce fear ANYWHERE in..the Sonship. “The wicked..shall perish”..is merely a statement..of fact,..*if..the word..“perish”.. is properly/understood...Every*..love*less..thought..*MUST_be undone, and..even the word..“undone”.is/fearful[to the ego],..which interprets..“I am undone”..as/if.“I am..destroyed.” The ego..will-NOT..be destroyed,..because it is part of..YOUR thought...logus..But..because..it is uncreative,..and..therefore unsharing,..it WILL be..reinterpreted entirely,..to release..you..from fear*. The part of..your..thought/processing..which you have given TO..the ego..will merely return to the/Kingdom,..where your..whole loud/proud/cloud..herd-mind BELONGS.

http://miraclevision.com/acim/urtext/acim-urtext-2003-upe-ready-edition.pdf The concept..of..“set”..is among the better..of..the/psychological..percepts...Actually,..it is used quite..frequently..in the Bible,..and also here,..under many different..definitive-terms. “God..will keep/him in..perfect peace..him whose mind..is stayed..(or set)..on Thee..because he..trusteth in Thee.” The pronouns here..are confusing..without explanation, and the attempt..to shift..“Thee”..to..“Him”.is a mis-interpretation. The statement means..that God’s peace..is set[fixed]..in the Holy Spirit,..because it is..fixed on..the good..of God/set. It is also..fixed..[fixated]..in you. affixt..into your soul..You,..then,..ARE fixed.. in the peace..of God.[gods..own..quick-fix][the fix..is in] The concept..of..“fixation”..is..a very helpful one, which Freud..yet again..fixated-upon..thus understood perfectly. Unfortunately,..he lost his..understanding..[fixation-fo-cuss].. because..he was afraid,.. and..as you..know..all too/well, fear..is incompatible..truth perception..that leads..with good judgment. Fear DISTORTS thinking,..AS WELL AS..true-seeing and listening note..carefully..fear makes..the watching child..[the feeler]..emote fear..and therefore..fear..[dark-glass..half empty]..DIS-orders thought. Freud’s system..of thought..was extremely ingenious,..ONLY..because Freud..himself[the feeler/emoting]..was extremely ingenious. A mind..MUST endow..its own/thoughts with its own attributes...and attributions. This*is..its inherent STRENGTH,..even though *it may..misuse its power...but..the given-gift..excludes..our/use of it.. Freud..lost much of the..potential value/of his own thought system because,..much/like Cayce.. he did..*NOT include himself in it. This IS..a dissociated state,..because the thinker..cuts himself off..from his..own thoughts/process. thus allows..nonsense[un-reason]..to-get in..Freud’s thought..was so conflicted..that..he..could not have retained.his sanity..[as HE saw it]..WITHOUT dissociating. This is why the/many contradictions..which are quite apparent in his thinking..became..EVER-more..increasingly..*less/apparent..*to Him. A man..who knows..what fixation..*REALLY means..and does *NOT yield..to it..is terribly/afraid...Fixation is constance persistance/stick-to/it-ness]..the pull of God, on whom your mind..*IS fixed..because of..the Holy-Spirit’s irrevocable mind-set.[obsessively attentive..obsessive precise.. “Irrevocable”..means..“cannot be..called back nor redirected.” The..irrevocable nature..of the-Holy Spirit’s/set mind-set/settings..is the basis..for..its unequivocal voice.

The concept..of fixation,..[even/spiritual-obsessing]..as Freud saw it,..has a number..of real learning..advantages.
First,..it recognizes that man..CAN be fixated..at an-inspired-point in..development..which..does NOT/accord..with..a point..in perceivable-time. This clearly..could have been..a means..toward real release [from..the time belief],..had Freud pursued it..with an open mind. But..Freud suffered..all his/life from refusal..to allow eternity..to dawn[awaken]..upon his mind,..and enlighten..his/idea..truly. As a/result,..he overlooked..the eternal/present..NOW this..living moment..entirely,..and merely saw..the continuity of past-continuum..and future...as one.. Second,..although..he misinterpreted..what the/Holy-Spirit revelation..told him,..or better,the term..is that him/most holy.. reminded/him of,..this living moment..he was too honest..to deny more than he had to,..to keep his fear..in tolerable/bounds,..[as he perceived..the situatio. Therefore,..he EMPHASIZED..that the..point in..development..at which..the mind is fixated..*is more real..to ITSELF..than the external reality..with which..it DISagrees. This again..could have been..a powerful/RELEASE mechanism, had Freud..not decided..to involve it..in a strong defense/system because..he perceived it..as..an attack... Third,..although Freud..interpreted/fixations..irrevocable danger/points..to which the/mind..can always regress,..the concept can..also be..interpreted as..an irrevocable call/to..sanity which the mind cannot LOSE. Freud..saw return ..as a threat ..to maturity because he/did not..understand prodigality...He merely interpreted..it as squandering. Actually,..“prodigal”..also means careful. This confusion..between careful..and careless..led him to confuse..the escape..from nature/nurture/care...with something ego-desirable. In fact,..he even went..so far..as to equate it..quite literally..WITH desire. But throughout..his thought-system,..the..“threat”..of fixation..remained,..and could/never..be completely eliminated..by any living human being..anywhere...*Essentially,..this/was the basis of..his pessimism. This was personally..as well as..theoretically the case. Freud tried..every means..his very inventive mind..could devise to set*up..a form of therapy/which..could enable..the ego/herd-mind..to escape..from fixation forever,..even though..he KNEW this/was impossible. The knowledge..plagued his belief..in his own/thought-system..at every-turn,..because he was both.,.an honest man..and a healer. He was therefore..only PARTIALLY insane..at the perceptual level,..and was unable to relinquish..the hope/of release..even-though..he could/not cope with..even..the visual;isation..of it. The reason..for this..fulsome..amount of detail is..because YOU..are..in the same position.. You..*were eternally fixated..on God..*in your..pre-creation,..and..the pull..[draw]..of this fixation..is so strong..inatly..that you..will never..overcome it. The reason..is perfectly clear....The fixation..is on..a level that..is so high..[spiritualy/pure].that it..cannot..*BE surmounted. especialy..not..by miscreations You..are..ALWAYS being..pulled back to your..Creator*..because..you belong*in Him. Do..you REALLY believe..you can make-up..a voice..that..can drown out His/love/grace/mercy? Posted by one under god, Wednesday, 20 November 2013 2:53:06 PM

God commended..His..wholly-Spirit..in-to you, and asks..only..that you commend..yours..back..in-to Him. He wills to/keep it..in perfect peace because you..and i am..are of one mind ..and ..of the one..same/Spirit..with/and..in-Him...just as he is with+in/..HIM*..2. Excluding..yourself..from/the Atonement..is the\ego’s last-ditch defense..of its own..se3lf-existence.

We..have/the..ability..to write/read..and..send/email..and..data
and..its..our/ability..to share-information..which/has..greatly enhanced..our ability..to survive. But..this shared/knowledge..has-come at..a price. In/order..or our..bio-logical..genus...to survive,..we have had/to..surrender part/of..our individuality..for-the..greater-tribal good. Many..of our-ancestors..fought..and died..for..were in..wars..for the/survival..of..some/tribal-culture. Our ability..to survive/as a..tribal-member..has/become..a significant-instinctive..[autonomous]..skill-set..that..is of large..part..of..the..who-of/what..we are..and the..INNATE..cloud/herd-mind/knowledge..we..are born with. We all..need..the/approval..of..the herd/in order..to have an ego-sense..of well being..and..to fee.. OK..[at-ease]..about our..other emotive-inputs[selves][threads]...And for/most people..it creates..*great/mental-anguish..*to/be rejected..or disconnected..from=..the herd-mind. Over/the..centuries...language-skills..have/evolved/developed which allowed individuals..to talk to..each other...by..image/assosiative.. sounds..or aural..sub-sets..of written/sounds..denoted..into word/sound-vibration..that links..like imagery seeing..a chair..brings..the visualizations..[idea]..of all chairs/into mind.. Because ideas..could be ..communicated,..one individual/could..learn something..new..and pass..that knowledge..on/to..the next person without*..that person..having..to learn/see/hear/smell..it on his own. Knowledge..could/be passed on..by word/of mouth..allowing..a person's knowledge..to..even..survive*past..his death...in words..of the authors..mindset/imagery..mind-vocalizations..[ideas].. With/this..new*knowledge..others..could.*build upon *the work..*of others..and create levels of..text/context..and technology...[in..highert-mind]..far greater..than..any individual..could\create..of/themselves. No longer..did everyone..have/to..reinvent..the wheel...Because of language,..people could communicate..and work together..[]across time..and there/was..the living..ultimate/true/knowing..shared knowledge..or..tribal-knowledge...via the beast-mind ego. These..long..held..communication/skills..allowed..those..who could talk*..their ideas..via more permanent/means..were thus willed..to survive better..than those who..could/not talk..and our brains evolved..for/the purpose..of..interpretative-language. Because..of..perceptive/advantages..of language,..people became dependent..on each other...No longer..were we..truly individuals. We..all..need each-other..to survive...In a sense..we..each..are part of..a greater..global/bio-organism..in the same way..that bees are part/of..a hive. The instinct..to be tribal..is so strong..that many/people..will kill themselves..as a..result/of ..actual-separation..from or..rejection/by the herd. Because..we live in..an advanced society..now..much of/our knowledge comes..from other people...Some of that..*knowledge..is just plain wrong,..*but..because the..ego-herd/mind..thinks..BELIEVES..it's true,..we/are expected..to..believe-it. After all,..it's..not our nature..to assume..that we,..as individuals,..are smarter..than/the..combination of thousands..or millions..of people..who have..mis-believed..so..many/things..for centuries. But often..an individual..does discover/a..new truth..or discovers that something..the herd thought..was true..yet..is not true..at all. When this happens..*real-knowledge..is often lost because..the individual..submits to..the will of..the herd. What is..a herd? A herd..or tribe..is..*any organization..of two..or more/people who.*come together..for any..higher-purpose...A herd can/be..as small as two people..sharing..an apartment..to..as large..as/all..of humanity. Most people..belong to..hundreds/of herds..and will move-in..and..*out of..different herds..throughout/ their lifetimes. A herd..is any organization..of people..who share..some common function/need/want/will/reason...Herds include..*all religions, governments..at all/levels..including/neighborhood associations, sports fans,..clubs,...political/parties,..chat-rooms,..talk-radio fans,..Mackintosh owners,..fellow employees,.. Mensans,..hippies, bars,..nerds,..and schools... AND YES..EACH SPECIES..breed/creed..bird..even seed.. has..its.*own..herd-instinct-mind Each of..the..many fold/living creations..organ-izations have a set of rules..and common beliefs...qualities/fates..times..The members of the..organizations..*all surrender..part/of..their Master Database to the..herd-could-mind. The herd-mind..itself/becomes..a living*..organism..much the-same way as..a hive is..a living organism..of bees...And..in many cases..these tribal/organizations..are as real..or more real..than the individuals that..make them..up.

Excluding yourself..from the Atonement..is the ego’s
last-ditch..defense of/its..own..existence...It reflects both the ego’s..*need to separate,..and your willingness to side with-in..its/lonely-separateness. This willingness..means that YOU..DO NOT WANT..TO BE HEALED. When..I told Bill that..there is..“just one-more..thing,”..he heard me very well...[I hope..he will hear/me as well..now.] His intelligent..mis-hearing..of..“river”..[the..ever/moving-flow]..as “rivet”[fixt..affixed]..showed..that..even though he..*wanted release,..he was not able..to cope with/it..at the time. *But..the time..*IS now. You have/not been..asked to work out..the Plan of Salvation yourselves,..because,..as I told you before,..*the Remedy..is NOT of your making. *God/Himself..gave you the perfect correction..for everything..you have made/which is not in-accord..with His Holy Will. I have made..His Plan perfectly/clear..and perfectly explicit to you,..and have..also told you..of your part/in..His Plan..and how urgent..it is that..you fulfill-it. There..is time for delay,..*but there..*need not be. God weeps..at the sacrifice..of His/children who believe..they are lost..to Him. The “one..more thing”..that Bill/must learn is merely..that he is NOT..the one8..more.,,He is..both ONE..*and..AT ONE...*If he will..learn this..*NOW,..he will be willing..in accord with..the last judgment, which is really..only..the Biblical reminder..of the..inevitability..of self-INCLUSION. This is what “Physician,..*heal thyself”..really means.. Bill has frequently observed..for HIMSELF that/this is..hard to do. He has,..however,..been perfectly aware..of JUST what..*YOU should do about it. You might ask him..[for me]..whether he..does not think he might..be dissociating..*HIMSELF from..*his own awareness,..since he is so clear..about the remedy..*for YOU..You/might also remind him that..to whatever extent*..he separates himself..from you,..he is separating/himself..from ME. This IS a collaborative venture. Let me..therefore return..*his-own ideas..to him, so that..you can share them..and thus..help each-other..to help me. But let me..first remind you..of something..*I told you..myself...that..Whenever you are not wholely_*joyous,..it is because you have..reacted..with a lack of love,,*to some Soul..which/God created...Perceiving this..as sin, you become defensive..because you..NOW*..EXPECT ATTACK.[miss-apprehension] The decision to react..in that way,..however, was YOURS,..and..thus..it..can therefore..be undone. It..*CANNOT be undone..*by repentance..in the usual sense,..*because this..implies guilt. If you..allow yourself..to feel guilty, you will reinforce..the error,..*rather than allowing*..it..to to be undone..*FOR you...the right..time..first/time..in time..now.[time] Posted by one under god, Thursday, 21 November 2013 2:16:23 PM

Decisions CANNOT be difficult. This is obvious if you realize that you must ALREADY
have made a decision NOT to be wholly joyous if that is what you feel. Therefore, the first step in the undoing is to recognize that YOU ACTIVELY DECIDED WRONGLY, BUT CAN AS ACTIVELY DECIDE OTHERWISE. Be very firm with yourselves in this, and keep yourselves fully aware of the fact that the UNDOING process, which does NOT come from you, is nevertheless WITHIN you because God placed it there. YOUR part is merely to return your thinking to the point at which the error was made, and give it over to the Atonement in peace. Say to yourselves..the following, as sincerely as you can, remembering that the Holy Spirit will respond fully to your slightest invitation: I must have decided wrongly..because I am NOT at peace. I made the decision myself,..but I can also..decide otherwise. I WILL to decide otherwise.. because I WANT to be..at peace. I do NOT feel guilty,..because the Holy Spirit will..undo ALL the consequences*..of my wrong decision..*IF I WILL..LET HIM...[and give up my will..to sin..against other-selves]. I WILL..to let Him..into..my..ego-mind by allowing Him..to decide..for God..for me...[4/my/sake*] March 22,1966[jesus].. The relationship..of anger to attack is obvious, but the inevitable..association of anger..and FEAR is not always so clear. Anger ALWAYS involves PROJECTION OF SEPARATION,..which must ultimately..be accepted..as entirely one’s own/responsibility. Anger cannot..occur..*unless you..really..concieve the..*belief/..that/you..believe..that you have BEEN..attacked; and worse...that..the attack..was JUSTIFIED;..and..again..that.. you..are in*..no way responsible..for it. Given these three wholly irrational premises,..the/equally irrational conclusion..that a brother is worthy of attack..rather than of love follows. What can be expected from insane premises..EXCEPT an insane conclusion? The way to undo..an insane conclusion..is always to consider..the sanity..of the premises..on which it rests. You cannot*..BE attacked,..attack HAS no..logical-justification, and..realize..you ARE..*responsible..for what you believe...You have been asked..to take me..as your model for/learning. And we have often said..that an..*extreme example is..a particularly helpful learning-device. yet..EVERYONE teaches,..*and teaches..all..all the time. This is..a responsibility*..by..which he/assumes..inevitably, the moment..he has accepted*..as/true..*any premises..at all. And NO-ONE can..organize..his life..*without ANY thought system. Once he/has..developed..even..a beast-mind/thought system..of any kind,..UNLESS..he lives.*by it..and TEACHES it...by being..its qualities/qualification.
