Speaker 7 (05:07):
Mm wow, good morning, and welcome to today's lesson from
(05:38):
a work from the work book of a course in Miracles.
We are reviewing a central lesson of the course, one
of the central lessons of the course. And of course
it sounds very weird to use these adjectives to describe
the lessons, because you know, as we say time and
(06:00):
time again, words do fail entirely because all that we
are really doing here is becoming mindful of what is
and making a real attempt to go beyond the fake
(06:25):
framework that we have built for ourselves, to go beyond
the idea. Oh, hi, Claire, good morning, Claire, I love you,
good morning. I'm just going to type in good morning
Claire here, and I know you can hear me say it,
but I'm just going to type it anyway. Yes, So
(06:47):
we're what we're attempting to do is really become mindful
of the truth. And when I say that, I'm not
really speaking of some objective conceptualization, of some idea that
we have, of something that is true somehow separated from us.
(07:12):
We're not really speaking philosophically here. We're attempting to use
words to clothe an experience, if you like, a letting go,
as a moment of serious entertainment of the truth. This is,
(07:38):
of course paradoxical because the fact of the matter is
that the self concept, the thing that you think you are,
the thing that or you thought you were, is not true.
And so the thing that is attempting to conceive of
(08:04):
or to contemplate the truth has no reality whatsoever. And
so this is always an invitation to begin to experience
yourself in a wholly different way. And of course it
cannot be contrived. But what you can do is entertain
(08:31):
the idea that it is true that you're not a body,
that you are free, that you are still as God
created you, because no matter what you think you are,
no matter what you have made of yourself, the truth
(08:52):
still remains that you are mind and purely mind, and
that the self concept is a construct of your own mind.
What I would like to do at this point is
make you aware. And I should really turn off the
(09:13):
speakers here because if I don't, everything I say will
be experienced as an echo. So I'll disable the speakers,
and I hope that that has improve the quality of
the audio. But let's become aware of this, Okay, each
day and every minute in each day, and every instant
(09:40):
that each minute holds, that's here, that's now, Here's what's
going on.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
You.
Speaker 7 (09:49):
But relive the single instant when the time of terror
took the place of love. And so you die each
day to live again until you cross the gap between
(10:09):
the past and the present, which is not a gap
at all. Such is each life a seeming interval from
birth to death and onto life again, a repetition of
an instant gone by long ago that cannot actually be relieved.
(10:32):
Listen to this, and all of time, all of time,
the entirety of time, right here and right now is
but the mad belief that what is over is still
here and now. It cannot be said any better than that.
(10:57):
There is no need really to try to explain that.
But there is every need for you, right here and
right now to actually consider that that is true. That
(11:18):
the thing that you think you are right now, as
you are sitting there or lying there or standing there,
the thing that you call yourself right now is a
mere construct in your mind, right here and right now,
(11:41):
That the thing that you think.
Speaker 8 (11:44):
You are.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Is not what you are and is not real. That
you are not a body, that you are free, you
are still as God created you. That the only thing
(12:12):
that is occurring here.
Speaker 9 (12:16):
Is a mindfulness, is your mindfulness of the truth of
eternal creation. Of which you are an inseparable part. What
(12:40):
we're speaking of now is really an experience of trust,
of letting go.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
And letting God. In the text, Jesus says that, and
I'm paraphrasing here because I don't remember the exact quote,
that God literally waits to hear you call him friend.
(13:22):
And so it's an entering into the presence of God.
It's really a being okay with God. Now that sounds
very trite and very simplistic, but it's also true. You
(13:51):
have probably not been aware of how defended you are,
or of how defended you have been against God, against
your true self, against all of reality. You have not
(14:13):
been aware of how much you have invested in the
protection of your self concept. And we speak about this
all the time, that you don't really seriously question the
assumptions you have about yourself and about what everything is. Remember,
(14:43):
the world I see has nothing to do with reality.
It is of my own making, and it does not exist.
Have you ever really considered that that is actually true?
(15:07):
That right here, right now, the world you see has
nothing to do with reality, It is of your own
making and it does not exist. And that God is real.
God is here and loves you with a never changing love,
(15:34):
and that everything you think you did has had no
effect whatsoever and has no effect. That all that is
really required of you, and I use the word very cautiously,
(16:03):
is that you be free and that you be happy
right here and right now. There is nothing that you
need to do. There's nothing that you need to say,
there's nothing that you need to change. I know that
for the longest time, for myself, I felt extraordinarily guilty,
(16:31):
shall I say, you know, if I didn't say my prayers,
or if I didn't sit down for a moment and
do my lesson, or if I didn't say a particular thing,
(16:53):
or if I said a particular thing, there was really
this idea that if I had something to do with
what's real, the fact of the matter is I have
nothing to do with it. The self concept, the thing
(17:13):
that you call yourself, has no reality and no effect whatsoever.
You can literally think of it as a toy figure
that you're playing with. You know how you make up
dolls and you play with your dolls, and you give
(17:34):
them names and you write stories about them, and for
a moment as a child, you kind of believe in
your little figures that you have around you, and they
are your little world that you control. Well, news flash,
(17:55):
your self concept is exactly like a doll that you've
made up. It has no reality whatsoever. Your self concept
has no reality, and the concept that you have of
other people has absolutely no reality whatsoever. The world I
(18:17):
see has nothing to do with reality. It is of
my own making and it does not exist. I am
not a body. I am free for I am still
as God created me. In this instant that you begin
(18:44):
to consider that that is, so to accept it for
a moment and let it be true and come to
no conclusions about it, to literally let your mind be free. Wow.
(19:17):
So that's why we are here in this moment. We
are here in this moment for the first time because
this moment has no precedent. In this moment, we are
here to accept the truth, to know the truth, to
(19:43):
hear the truth, to listen to the truth that I
am not a body, I am free for I am
still as God created me. So listen here to the
(20:05):
lesson I am God's Son. Be still my mind and
think a moment upon this, Wow, and then return to
(20:33):
Earth without confusion as to what my Father loves forever
as his son. I am not a body. I am
free for I am still as God created me. So
(21:09):
be still my mind and think a moment upon this.
I'm gonna take a moment now.
Speaker 10 (22:52):
Look at.
Speaker 11 (23:28):
Chols to educate, a change education, then the banding Budding.
Speaker 12 (27:03):
And book book bo.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
East and.
Speaker 13 (30:09):
Either a.
Speaker 10 (31:21):
D D.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
A Wow. So yes, relax, Relax in the truth. Relax
(33:51):
in the knowledge that God is real. You don't have
to contrive it. And you say sometimes worry about well,
if I let go, what's going to happen? Like you
have to make something happen or you have to feel
a certain way. Remember it doesn't have to do with
the self concept. This is a course in miracles. Reality
(34:15):
is God is real, and you really don't have anything
to say about it. You're completely protected and totally cared
for and loved in a way that you cannot even
begin to fathom or imagine or conceptualize. But you have
to be willing now to live in that knowledge, to
(34:45):
be in the presence of God, and to be okay
in the presence of God, and know that God is everywhere.
There is nowhere that God is not. God is everything
and everywhere always. That is the truth and The time
(35:13):
really is simply how long it takes you to accept
the truth. You don't have to buy into the imagery
and the narrative that you've made up. It's really okay
(35:36):
to begin to know and feel and realize and accept
that you are not a body, that you are free,
that you are still as God created you, and that
nothing can change, that you have not done anything to
(35:58):
alter that. I'm not a body. I am free for
I am still as God created me. I am not
a body. I am free. Listen to this again. I
(36:19):
am God's son. That's you. That's true. That's now. Be
still by mind and think a moment upon this, and
then return to earth without confusion as to what my
(36:42):
father loves forever as his son. I am not a body.
I am free for I am still as God created me.
That's it for today. That's all you're about today. That's it,
(37:11):
that realization, mindfulness of that truth, here and now and always.
We speak about reviewing the lesson. Well, reviewing the lesson
is reviewing the lesson. It's not distancing yourself from the
(37:35):
lesson and contemplating it from a detached viewpoint. You absorb it,
You are it. It is the truth. Now it is
as real to you as anything that you have ever
(37:56):
thought was real, and even realer than that. I know
the realer doesn't really mean anything. But you know what
I'm saying. Know this, with every fiber of your being
(38:16):
that you are. You are. You are not a body.
You are free. You are still as God created you.
(38:40):
You are all the lights of creation. You are all
the love of the universe. You are the creation itself.
You are what creation is. That's awesome, that is beyond words.
(39:05):
There is nothing that can actually interfere with your realization
of that. With your knowing of that, you can relax
in the certainty of the truth of that. You can
(39:26):
be happy. You can invite everything into that knowledge because
everything is part of your mind. There is another way
of being. Even while you think you are in the world,
(39:47):
there is another way of being.
Speaker 8 (39:50):
In this world.
Speaker 7 (39:52):
That's what we're about. This is a course in miracles.
It is a required course. Only the time you take
it is up to you. And the time is now.
(40:13):
The time is here, the place is here, no beginning,
no end. I am God's Son. Be still my mind
and think a moment upon this. Wow, think a moment upon.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
This, and this moment.
Speaker 7 (40:51):
Stretches into eternity when you use it to think upon this,
I am God's son. I am not a body. I
am free for I am still as God created me.
(41:17):
I am not a body. I am free. And then
return to earth without confusion, without confusion, with no doubt,
with none of the stuff, with pure clarity, with pure
(41:40):
freedom of mind, given you from beyond this world, given
you as part of your creation as what you are free. Oh,
you're not confused. Do not confuse as to what your
(42:02):
father loves forever as his son. That's you, that's now.
I am not a body. I am free for I
am still as God created me. Wow, Abide in that knowledge,
(42:31):
Abide in that truth. This is a course in miracles.
You don't have to do anything. It's given. It's true.
God is here now always. He loves you with an
(43:00):
never changing love. God does not judge. He doesn't know
you as separate from himself. God knows himself and knows
you as part of him. The narrative that you have
(43:21):
running about you events circumstances is not true. God is
not thinking about you as a separate person living in
earth and struggling with stuff. His light is the light
(43:44):
of your life, receive it of Him, God only gives always. Wow,
that's amazing. I love you with all my heart. I
(44:08):
cannot thank you enough for everything. Let's join together now
and listen and watch the Master Teacher as he reviews
(44:34):
this lesson again, as he offers this light again always.
That's what we're about. This is a course in miracles,
this is a course in the mindfulness of love. That's
(45:02):
all we're about. That's all that has any meaning, that's
all that's true. So let's join with the Master Teacher.
Let's join with each other. Let's join in the certainty
of love and light and freedom, knowing that we are
(45:29):
not bodies, that we are free, that we are still
as God created us is one wholly, perfectly created son.
(45:54):
And so we'll bring this podcast to a close and
with a song, one of my favorite songs, Into the Light.
