EVERY idea..which the ego has accorded..the status of fact..is questionable,..because..facts..are in the realm of knowledge...and ideas mere concepts of mind..[thus subject..to ego based..miss-creation]

Confusing realms..of..mind to mind/discourse is a thinking error
which philosophers..have recognized for centuries...Psychologists are generally quite/deficient..in this respect,..as are many theologians.

all input Data..from one realm..of..process of..mind discourse..do
not mean..anything..in another,.mind-set..because*..they can be understood..only WITHIN*..the thought-system/language's..of which they are..a part.

sight/smell/sound/taste..sense..is good or bad
only with-in..the realm of the sense..its percieved by.

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.
The Christ Mind..wills from..the Soul,..not from the Ego,
and..the Christ Mind...IS yours...as soon as you will it right-mindedly.

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.

Love will enter..immediately into any mind
which truly wants it,..but it MUST validate..the want of it..truly...[by giving it]..[try trying it]

but..it..MUST want..love..
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.

It is necessary..to repeat..that your belief..in darkness
and..in hiding..[covering rather than..dis-covering]..IS why the
light..cannot enter.

The Bible..has many references to the..immeasurable gifts
which are for you,..*but for..which..*YOU must ask...[by works]..

This is not..*the condition..[as the ego sets conditions]
It is*..[with/in]..the glorious..condition of what you already..*ARE.[always was../always will be.]

No force..except your*..own will..is strong enough or worthy
enough..to guide you...*In this..you are as..free.as God,..and must remain so forever*.

You can never*..be bound..[except in honor]..,
and..that is..always..only valid..as a fre-choice[voluntary.]

Let us ask..the Father..in my name..to keep you..mindful
of His love..*for you and..*yours for Him...*He has..*never failed to answer..this request,..because*.it asks only*..for what..He has already willed.

actively/passionately..willed

Those who call..truly..are ALWAYS answered...[truly*]

Note:..HS became very fearful here,..and rather vaguely
thought the answer was:..“Thou shalt have..no other Gods
before me,..because..there ARE none...You still..think there/are.”

*It has never really entered..your minds to give up
every idea..you have ever had that..OPPOSES true-knowledge.

You retain thousands of little scraps..of meanness to..meaningless..[to any but the ego/of self]..which prevent*
the Holy One..from wholly entering...within..the fortress of self.[ergo/ego]

Light cannot penetrate..through the walls..you make to block
it,..and ego..is forever UN-willing..to destroy what you have made.

No one can see..THROUGH
a wall,..but I..can step around it.

Watch your minds..for the scraps of meanness,
or..you will be unable to ask me to do/so.

I can help you..only as our Father Created us.
I will love you..and honor you and..maintain complete respect*..for what you have made...*But I will..*neither love..nor honor it*unless it is true.

I will..never forsake you,..any more than God will.
But I MUST..wait as/long as you will..to forsake yourselves.
Because I wait in love..and not in impatience,..you will surely ask me truly.

I will/come gladly..in response to..a single un*equivocal call.

Watch carefully,..and see what it is
you are truly asking for.

Be very honest with yourselves about this,
for you..we must hide...nothing..of our minds comforters..from each other.

If..you...will REALLY try to do..this you..have taken the first step toward preparing your..conscious-minds..for the Holy One..to enter.

We will..prepare,..for this together,..and once..He has
come,.you will..be ready to..help...make..other minds..ready for Him.

How long..will you
deny Him..His Kingdom?

Ye know..Him not!

One day,..when the Spirit..stands with-in the veil
which shrouds..the spirit world..from mortal gaze,..you shall wonder at your ignorance..of Him..[with and in ALL*]..whom you have so foolishly imagined!..inthe false image of man

He is..far other than..you..have pictured Him.

Jan.7,1966.[by jesus]

In your own unconscious,..deeply repressed..by the ego,
is the declaration..of your..timely release.

GOD HAS GIVEN YOU EVERYTHING.

This is..the one..true-fact
which..MEANS that the..ego..does not exist,[as a matter of true fact]..which therefore..makes/it..profoundly afraid...and fear rejects any..truth*

In..the ego’s language,..to have..[]..*and to be..are
different,..*but they are..identified..to the Soul.

It knows..that you..[both...HAVE..
everything..and ARE..everything.

Any distinction..in this respect..is meaningful only
when..the idea of getting,..which implies a lack,..has already BEEN accepted.

That is why..we made..no distinction before..between
having..the Kingdom of God..and BEING the..Kingdom of God.

The calm being..of God’s Kingdom,..which in your sane-mind is perfectly conscious,..is ruthlessly banished..from the part of the mind..which the ego rules.

The ego..is desperate..because it..directly..opposes
literally invincible odds..whether you are asleep..or awake...Consider
how much vigilance..you have been willing..to expect exert to protect your ego,..and how..little you/have been..willing to exert..to protect your higher mind.

Who but..the insane..would undertake..to believe
as if true..what..which..is not perpetually true,..and
then ..activly..seek to..protect this..miss-belief..at the cost of..Truth?

If you cannot..hear the voice of God,
it is because..you do not..*choose..to listen...

The/fact..that you DO listen..*to the voice..*of your.ego..is demonstrated..by your...injurious ego-materialized attitudes,..your-feelings,..and your behavior.

Your..fear modified attitudes..are obviously conflicted;..your feelings..have a/narrow range..and always..on the negative side,..

but think..why..they are never..purely joyous;..your behavior is
either strained..or unpredictable.

Yet this IS..what you..want.[[what your ego/feels you need
not the good eternal/infinite/living/loving logical/truths..god intended.

This..conspicuous/conscious/deliberated AVOIDANCE..
of GODS PURE UN-ADULTERATED LOVE*..is what you are fighting..

dumping the good eternal true..to keep,..that hurtfull

and..what you are vigilant..to save...is all..of the negative miscreation..Your minds..are filled with schemes..to save the
face of..your egos,..and you do not seek..the Face of God.

The glass..in which the ego..seeks to see..its face is dark indeed. How can..it maintain..the trick of its existence..except with mirrors?

But where..you look to find..yourself..is up/to you...We have said that..you cannot..but..change..your mind..but..by seeking..the changing..of your behavior,[to..other god and self]..but/we have also said,..and many times before,..that you can change..simply..your mind.

Were..He such/as..you have pictured Him,
were He..such as..your-ego...think,..He would avenge
on presumptuous..man the insults..which he puts on his Creator.

*But He is..other,..and as reflected..inthe nature[nay nurture[]..of other..far other..than that love..that..by man’s poor grovelling mind can grasp,

and yet.,..him of..perfected eternal/true/love..He pities..and forgives..the ignorance..of the blind mortal..who paints Him..willfully..[wrongly]..after a self-imagined pattern.

We would speak..of the true perception*..of God...Not as a personal being,..human..in His attributes..save Omnipotence;..not as a glorified humanity;..but as..*the..All-Pervading..aether [energy]..of his living Spirit permeating..the dusts of universe...into perfect..life.

Man..is now ready..to receive..a more enlarged-conception of God...We present..to you a Deity..Whose good-Name,..as revealed in god-Love.

eternal..infinite..omni-present Love,..confined within no limits.

God..is no Person...He is enthroned..in EVERY* place,
HE*..is all-pervading,..ever-existing:..ever mind/fully-guiding and loving..*all.[yeshallknow him..by his sure sign..LIFE*

sustained..of the light..that...via
logic light/love..life realize..*all-good=god

On..the God..Within

We propound..to man..there can/be..no saviour outside himself.

Within the..spirit-body..off all-life..dwells
the pervading essence..of Deity*

[that we do..to the least..we did to him*]

When your mood tells you..that you have willed wrongly,..and this is so whenever..you are not joyous,..then KNOW this need not be.

In every case..you have thought wrongly..about some Soul that God created,..and are..perceiving..FAULSE*..images your ego makes in a darkened glass.

Think..honestly..what you have..thought..*
that God..*would NOT have thought,..and what..you..
have not..thought..[that God..would have..you to think...more about.

others*

Search...sincerely..for what..*you have done..for anyone*
[and left undone..accordingly.]..And then..change your minds..to THINK..WITH GOD’S...HEART*..

THINK/FIRST/LAST..WITH..HIS LOVE*
let..love guide*you..you*cannot fail..just..*be the love*
