SPEAKER_02 (00:14):
Hello and welcome to A Course of Love Study with
Cheryl.
I'm Cheryl Forrest.
First, a big thank you to MariePerron for writing the book we
are currently studying called ACourse of Love.
You might consider purchasing mybook just for today, which we
are using as a companion in thisstudy.
(00:36):
Books and meditation CDs can befound in the show notes below.
A big thanks to all of you whowish to support us through
Patreon.
The links are below.
And look forward to sharing someperks with you in the future.
During this podcast, you'regoing to hear book club folks
that are in the room with me, aswell as other members on Zoom.
(00:58):
As a book club, we've been goingfor many years, and we've
started this podcast so thatothers who cannot meet with us
may share the insights and thelove and really the humor of
this group.
Happy to see you join us in allof it.
Most importantly, as you beginthis study with us, choose to
(01:19):
study and listen from yourheart.
Remind yourself often, you areprecious.
Whisper to yourself from yourheart through your day, with the
deepest of love, I am love, I amloved, I love.
(01:41):
So let's begin.
So let's start by taking somenice deep breaths and just
breathing in warmth and goodfeeling and letting go of
everything else.
(02:06):
Let go of everything else.
So long, slow inhales and long,slow exhales.
And this time, as you'reinhaling, feel that you're
gathering up all the thoughtsand questions and concerns.
(02:30):
And on the exhale, you just letit go.
And again.
On the inhale, gather up all thethoughts and questions and
(02:50):
concerns.
And on the exhale, let them go.
We're going to do a littleexperiment here.
(03:10):
I'd like you to connect yourmind to your heart.
And as you do that, notice whatyour state of mind is, what your
body is, what your emotions are.
Just notice that state.
(03:33):
And then let it go.
And this time, connect from theheart to the mind.
And notice what your state ofmind is, how your body is, how
your emotions are.
(03:57):
And notice the difference.
So it always has to be from theheart to the mind.
So when we're connecting fromthe heart to the mind, the heart
(04:21):
embraces the mind.
And the first thing it does iscalm it down.
It reassures the mind, which hasbeen spending a great deal of
time in fight or flight, a greatdeal of time in worry, a great
(04:42):
deal of time in doubt, a greatdeal of time and concern.
So the heart embraces the mind.
And the first thing it does isit calms it down.
And when it calms the mind down,the body relaxes.
(05:09):
The mind switches off the fightor flight.
It opens up access to differentchemicals that reassure the
body.
The body begins to heal.
The body begins to repairitself.
(05:39):
Without being in that fight orflight, higher centers of the
mind open up.
And we're very ready to listento the divine us.
At some point, the God withintakes over the form.
(06:01):
But that can only happen whenthere's a heart-mind link.
Okay, you can open your eyes.
It's a great way to begin thislittle chapter.
(06:22):
This is chapter six in thetreatise.
Chapter six, The Art of Prayer.
The thought system of the egomind is a learned system, and
this is why it can be unlearned.
(06:42):
I'm going to say that again.
The thought system of the egomind is a learned system, and it
is why it can be unlearned.
The thought system of the truthof the eternal you is always
present as the truth.
is always present and can beneither learned nor unlearned.
(07:07):
It will thus be revealed to youas soon as the learned thought
system ceases to block itsrealization.
How is this revelation to takeplace?
It will begin by learning theart of thought as the act of
(07:29):
prayer.
Okay, this is a big change forus, okay?
Learning the art of thought asthe act of prayer.
We've spoken already of memoryhere and have presented the acts
of reproducing and recollectingthat are involved with memory as
acts of creation.
(07:52):
Prayer is about reproducing andrecollecting a divine memory.
And divine memory cannot helpbut produce a divine outcome.
Said in another way, prayerreproduces the truth and allows
the truth to exist as it is.
Prayer does this because it isthe act of consciously choosing
(08:15):
union.
You may underline, putfluorescent lights, sprinkle
fairy dust all over thatstatement.
Okay.
It's going to become your mantratill we get back together again.
That of choosing union.
Choosing union moves you intothe real state of all, from the
(08:36):
unreal state of the in-between.
Only from within a state that isreal can anything happen in
truth.
Thus, prayer must be...
SPEAKER_01 (08:51):
The prayer, the act of prayer that he's talking
about here, is this ourtraditional prayer
SPEAKER_02 (09:01):
where we're...
No, it is not.
And he's going to talk aboutthis here in this next
paragraph.
Okay.
Okay.
Thus, prayer must be redefinedas the act of consciously
choosing union.
Okay?
UNKNOWN (09:18):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (09:20):
With this definition, you can see how your
life can become a prayer.
Again, you can underline that.
So our life literally can becomea prayer or union with the God
that you are and the creator ofall that is.
And every single individualplant, mineral, worm, okay, that
(09:42):
you meet because we'reconnecting to the God within.
So far, so good.
This does not negate the factthat a prayer is also a constant
dialogue of asking, beinganswered and responding.
This is the shift that we'vebeen working towards here, where
(10:03):
you are in constant conversationas the divine you with the
creator.
So it's a conversation thatyou're having day to day, moment
to moment.
This is the aspect of prayerthat makes of it an act of
(10:24):
creation.
Prayer and miracles work hand inhand once both are seen for what
they are.
Do not forget what union is.
Union is the mind and heartbeing joined in
wholeheartedness.
It is your union with yourdivine self.
Union with your divine self isunion with God.
(10:48):
Thus, your concentration mustnot stray back to old concepts
of prayer or of reaching Godthrough the intercession of
prayer as if God were separatefrom you and accessible only
through a specific means ofcommunication.
You can see, perhaps, how thisattitude towards prayer came
about as it is.
(11:09):
Like much you have learned,close to the truth without being
the truth.
To use prayer only as a means ofreaching out to a God seen as
separate is to attempt to usewhat cannot be used.
Such ideas of prayer have hadcredence because this reaching
(11:31):
out does at least recognize thatthere is something to reach out
to.
Such ideas of prayer have longbeen opening doors for those who
are ready to walk through themto a real relationship with God
and the Divine Self.
But this is not the concept ofprayer of which we speak, nor
(11:51):
one that can reasonably becalled a way of life or likened
to the art of thought.
Prayers such as these emanatefrom either heart or mind and
have not the power ofwholehearted.
Prayers such as these emanatefrom a state of fear that is the
reality of your separated self.
(12:14):
To pray out of fear is not topray at all, because such prayer
chooses not the union that issupreme requisite.
to pray out of fear as to askfrom an unreal state of lack for
what is seen as missing ordesired.
In contrast, true prayer formedin union is a means of creating,
(12:38):
recollecting, or recalling adivine memory and transforming
that divine memory into apresent moment experience.
That's beautiful.
Memory is valuable to us nowbecause it relies not on
(12:59):
perception.
If perception were all that wereavailable to you, each
experience would begin and endand have no ability to relate to
anything else at all.
Without memory, what you learnedone day would be gone the next.
A person you meet one day, youwould not know the next.
I think there's a movie aboutthat.
(13:19):
Of course there is.
Thus, memory allowsrelationship.
Memory allows So what happenswhen memories of past
experiences are revisited underthe all-encompassing And in this
(13:59):
oneness is peace everlasting.
I'm reading this again.
(14:25):
It's a great sentence.
What happens when this onenessis accomplished is that divine
memories arise to replaceperception.
This is miracle-mindedness.
The accomplishment of this stateof being is the reason for which
you are here.
It is your return to your divineself.
(14:49):
It heralds the return of heaventhrough the second coming of
Christ, the energy that willbridge the two worlds.
Thoughts or questions on this?
SPEAKER_00 (15:06):
It's a beautiful chapter.
Yes.
It's like poetic.
Mm-hmm.
I just want to sink into it.
I feel that I get so much goesin, and it fills it, and then
that's just, I want to go backinto it, you know, and read it,
(15:29):
and just sink into it.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (15:39):
Anybody else, any thoughts or questions on it?
So for me, the other, yes,beautiful.
Definitely, like all thechapters, we have to read it
again a few times.
But what we're talking abouthere is the lack of judgment.
If I'm dealing with union, ifI'm making a decision to come
(15:59):
from a place of union withpeople, places, and things,
first, there's the union ofheart-mind link, which gives us
the wholeheartedness.
And then And as I choose toengage through union, I begin to
find that oneness that he'sspeaking about here.
(16:21):
So the memories of our life arenot separate memories.
They are not about making usseparate from anyone or not good
enough in any way.
Those memories, when seen fromthe God that you are and aligned
to the oneness with everyone andeverything, allow you to access
(16:45):
the reflection of the God thatyou are or the eternal you.
So now you see it from theperception of you as a God as
the Christ self or the divineself, looking at it from a whole
other perspective that doesn'tengage that fight or flight,
(17:06):
doesn't engage the ego's fear.
It's engaged from a place ofwonder and love and amazement
and gratitude.
Even the kaka can be amazing.
Even the kaka can be hopefulwhen seen from that perspective.
Does that make sense to you?
SPEAKER_00 (17:26):
Yes.
And I, I've been doing work on,on the, all these things that
come up.
Right.
And it is so exciting because,um, I just grabbing one thing
that I that's passed.
That's me.
And that's my dad.
Terrible.
And I don't look at thatanymore.
(17:46):
I look at him, uh, as he wasdoing the best he could.
They, they, uh, the youngest ofsix boys, and he was doing the
best he could.
And so now I take the bits thathave made me, because I'm, you
(18:11):
know, and I see it very, verydifferently.
He tried really hard, but it wasthe wrong way.
So now I just look at I wonderwhat happened to him you know
that kind of thing so that whatI have now is the feeling of the
(18:39):
good feeling of it just goesit's not in a in a box anymore
and it's just it's just anotherbeautiful thing that I've
learned that you've movedthrough that I've moved through
That's nice.
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (18:58):
Anybody else?
SPEAKER_01 (19:00):
I have a question, Cheryl.
Here he talks about the verylast sentence, actually.
It says that heralds the returnof the second coming of Christ.
I kind of look at these twobooks, this one and A Course in
Miracles, kind of as the secondcoming of Christ.
(19:22):
It's his way of coming back hereand giving us all his wisdom
without freaking everybody elseout.
Does that make sense?
SPEAKER_02 (19:37):
Yep, it makes sense.
And it is not, and that has beenspoken of in lots of different
places, that it's not about anew world teacher.
It's about all of humanitybecoming Christed, if you would.
Stepping forward as the God thatthey are, the divine being And I
(19:59):
see that as a part of humanitygrowing up.
We're growing up.
We're taking steps.
I mean, it was like over 2000years ago when he first came and
taught about love.
We're still trying to get it.
Okay.
We're refining our perception.
And what he's talking about is.
(20:19):
Coming from this heart-mindlink, we have the capacity when
we engage union to not...
So think about the difference.
If I'm looking for the oneness,where we're connected, what is
the same within us?
I'm not looking at how you'regoing to fuck up.
(20:42):
I'm not looking at how wrong youare.
I'm not looking at trying tokeep you wrong so I can be
right.
When And I'm coming from unionand heart-mind link.
I'm joyfully looking at how weare one and what's wonderfully
unique about you and wonderfullyunique about me.
(21:03):
Neither is less.
And then we create from somedistant knowing.
And that distant knowing is nowpresent.
It's now present in us today,and that knowing is coming from
the wisdom of love, which iswhat we call miracle-mindedness.
(21:24):
But the trick with this one thatI really like is you get to,
without feeling like you'reinsane and you're hearing
voices, you get to actually haveongoing conversations with the
God that you are and theCreator.
And expect answers.
(21:46):
Yes, exactly.
Not to be saved, but to expectanswers and to understand and
let the miracles happen.
SPEAKER_01 (21:54):
That's right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And, you know, today during themeditation is the first time I
actually...
thought about the heart-to-mindand mind-to-heart difference.
That was so different in howthat felt by going from the
(22:16):
heart to the mind.
And it was like, ta-da!
SPEAKER_02 (22:26):
I get it now.
And the healing effect of theheart to the mind is quite
profound.
Yes.
And therefore to the form.
Perfect.
preparing the body to housecompletely the divine you.
So you become a God-filledbeing.
So there, you're walking on theplanet as a second Christ.
(22:48):
No pressure.
Also, there isn't any place thatyou're going to end up on a
cross, so you're safe.
Okay?
We're not being asked tosacrifice.
We're being asked to love,embrace, to have union, and find
the miracles.
And more importantly, be it.
Yeah.
(23:08):
And to give and to receive.
Like that's...
Yeah.
Yeah.
So with union, we are one.
And play around with this.
Let this be a big...
Focus for you as well as theunderlined lines that we have.
Play around with being one withthe coffee cup, being one with
the dog that you have, the catthat you have, the child that
(23:32):
you have, that person, thatperson, okay?
Practice being one from thatheart-mind link, not from the
mind.
The mind-heart link doesn't giveyou the union, okay?
But from that heart-mind link,You can find that depth and
(23:52):
oneness.
And you don't look for what'swrong or what's different.
You look for what's wonderful,what's oneness.
And that's where genius comesin.
Because in these higher statesof being, the mind aligns to the
knowledge of the eternal.
And that's where genius comesin.
All right.
(24:13):
We'll see you next time.
Yes?
The mind.
Did you see that last statement?
The mind.
Okay, so the mind-heart linkstill keeps us in ego, in
separation, in survival.
The heart-mind link rewires themind itself so it can actually
align to the truths that areassociated with the eternal or
(24:36):
the God that we are.
And that's where we find themiracles.
That's where we can grow up andbe heaven, be the doorway to
heaven on earth.
That's our job.
Okay.
Yeah.
Cheryl.
SPEAKER_00 (24:52):
In the previous book, it was talking about
union.
Yeah.
And then he gave us sort of asentence to say that we choose
union.
Yeah.
Do you remember that quote?
Yeah.
We're not using that.
SPEAKER_03 (25:08):
No.
SPEAKER_00 (25:08):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (25:08):
Yeah, but I'm just saying.
He was talking about thatalready.
He was.
He knows that we're slowlearners.
I know.
Okay.
So this is different fromprayer.
We're not saying God saved mefrom.
Okay.
It's a different ongoingrelationship that you're having
with the God that you are, who'shaving a relationship with the
(25:31):
Creator and therefore in thedivine in all things.
So that's the union we'relooking at here.
Okay, guys, we'll see you nexttime.
Have fun.
SPEAKER_03 (25:44):
Love you.
Hello and welcome to A Course of Love Study with
Cheryl.
I'm Cheryl Forrest.
First, a big thank you to MariePerron for writing the book we
are currently studying called ACourse of Love.
You might consider purchasing mybook just for today, which we
are using as a companion in thisstudy.
(00:36):
Books and meditation CDs can befound in the show notes below.
A big thanks to all of you whowish to support us through
Patreon.
The links are below.
And look forward to sharing someperks with you in the future.
During this podcast, you'regoing to hear book club folks
that are in the room with me, aswell as other members on Zoom.
(00:58):
As a book club, we've been goingfor many years, and we've
started this podcast so thatothers who cannot meet with us
may share the insights and thelove and really the humor of
this group.
Happy to see you join us in allof it.
Most importantly, as you beginthis study with us, choose to
(01:19):
study and listen from yourheart.
Remind yourself often, you areprecious.
Whisper to yourself from yourheart through your day, with the
deepest of love, I am love, I amloved, I love.
(01:41):
So let's begin.
So let's start by taking somenice deep breaths and just
breathing in warmth and goodfeeling and letting go of
everything else.
(02:06):
Let go of everything else.
So long, slow inhales and long,slow exhales.
And this time, as you'reinhaling, feel that you're
gathering up all the thoughtsand questions and concerns.
(02:30):
And on the exhale, you just letit go.
And again.
On the inhale, gather up all thethoughts and questions and
(02:50):
concerns.
And on the exhale, let them go.
We're going to do a littleexperiment here.
(03:10):
I'd like you to connect yourmind to your heart.
And as you do that, notice whatyour state of mind is, what your
body is, what your emotions are.
Just notice that state.
(03:33):
And then let it go.
And this time, connect from theheart to the mind.
And notice what your state ofmind is, how your body is, how
your emotions are.
(03:57):
And notice the difference.
So it always has to be from theheart to the mind.
So when we're connecting fromthe heart to the mind, the heart
(04:21):
embraces the mind.
And the first thing it does iscalm it down.
It reassures the mind, which hasbeen spending a great deal of
time in fight or flight, a greatdeal of time in worry, a great
(04:42):
deal of time in doubt, a greatdeal of time and concern.
So the heart embraces the mind.
And the first thing it does isit calms it down.
And when it calms the mind down,the body relaxes.
(05:09):
The mind switches off the fightor flight.
It opens up access to differentchemicals that reassure the
body.
The body begins to heal.
The body begins to repairitself.
(05:39):
Without being in that fight orflight, higher centers of the
mind open up.
And we're very ready to listento the divine us.
At some point, the God withintakes over the form.
(06:01):
But that can only happen whenthere's a heart-mind link.
Okay, you can open your eyes.
It's a great way to begin thislittle chapter.
(06:22):
This is chapter six in thetreatise.
Chapter six, The Art of Prayer.
The thought system of the egomind is a learned system, and
this is why it can be unlearned.
(06:42):
I'm going to say that again.
The thought system of the egomind is a learned system, and it
is why it can be unlearned.
The thought system of the truthof the eternal you is always
present as the truth.
is always present and can beneither learned nor unlearned.
(07:07):
It will thus be revealed to youas soon as the learned thought
system ceases to block itsrealization.
How is this revelation to takeplace?
It will begin by learning theart of thought as the act of
(07:29):
prayer.
Okay, this is a big change forus, okay?
Learning the art of thought asthe act of prayer.
We've spoken already of memoryhere and have presented the acts
of reproducing and recollectingthat are involved with memory as
acts of creation.
(07:52):
Prayer is about reproducing andrecollecting a divine memory.
And divine memory cannot helpbut produce a divine outcome.
Said in another way, prayerreproduces the truth and allows
the truth to exist as it is.
Prayer does this because it isthe act of consciously choosing
(08:15):
union.
You may underline, putfluorescent lights, sprinkle
fairy dust all over thatstatement.
Okay.
It's going to become your mantratill we get back together again.
That of choosing union.
Choosing union moves you intothe real state of all, from the
(08:36):
unreal state of the in-between.
Only from within a state that isreal can anything happen in
truth.
Thus, prayer must be...
SPEAKER_01 (08:51):
The prayer, the act of prayer that he's talking
about here, is this ourtraditional prayer
SPEAKER_02 (09:01):
where we're...
No, it is not.
And he's going to talk aboutthis here in this next
paragraph.
Okay.
Okay.
Thus, prayer must be redefinedas the act of consciously
choosing union.
Okay?
UNKNOWN (09:18):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (09:20):
With this definition, you can see how your
life can become a prayer.
Again, you can underline that.
So our life literally can becomea prayer or union with the God
that you are and the creator ofall that is.
And every single individualplant, mineral, worm, okay, that
(09:42):
you meet because we'reconnecting to the God within.
So far, so good.
This does not negate the factthat a prayer is also a constant
dialogue of asking, beinganswered and responding.
This is the shift that we'vebeen working towards here, where
(10:03):
you are in constant conversationas the divine you with the
creator.
So it's a conversation thatyou're having day to day, moment
to moment.
This is the aspect of prayerthat makes of it an act of
(10:24):
creation.
Prayer and miracles work hand inhand once both are seen for what
they are.
Do not forget what union is.
Union is the mind and heartbeing joined in
wholeheartedness.
It is your union with yourdivine self.
Union with your divine self isunion with God.
(10:48):
Thus, your concentration mustnot stray back to old concepts
of prayer or of reaching Godthrough the intercession of
prayer as if God were separatefrom you and accessible only
through a specific means ofcommunication.
You can see, perhaps, how thisattitude towards prayer came
about as it is.
(11:09):
Like much you have learned,close to the truth without being
the truth.
To use prayer only as a means ofreaching out to a God seen as
separate is to attempt to usewhat cannot be used.
Such ideas of prayer have hadcredence because this reaching
(11:31):
out does at least recognize thatthere is something to reach out
to.
Such ideas of prayer have longbeen opening doors for those who
are ready to walk through themto a real relationship with God
and the Divine Self.
But this is not the concept ofprayer of which we speak, nor
(11:51):
one that can reasonably becalled a way of life or likened
to the art of thought.
Prayers such as these emanatefrom either heart or mind and
have not the power ofwholehearted.
Prayers such as these emanatefrom a state of fear that is the
reality of your separated self.
(12:14):
To pray out of fear is not topray at all, because such prayer
chooses not the union that issupreme requisite.
to pray out of fear as to askfrom an unreal state of lack for
what is seen as missing ordesired.
In contrast, true prayer formedin union is a means of creating,
(12:38):
recollecting, or recalling adivine memory and transforming
that divine memory into apresent moment experience.
That's beautiful.
Memory is valuable to us nowbecause it relies not on
(12:59):
perception.
If perception were all that wereavailable to you, each
experience would begin and endand have no ability to relate to
anything else at all.
Without memory, what you learnedone day would be gone the next.
A person you meet one day, youwould not know the next.
I think there's a movie aboutthat.
(13:19):
Of course there is.
Thus, memory allowsrelationship.
Memory allows So what happenswhen memories of past
experiences are revisited underthe all-encompassing And in this
(13:59):
oneness is peace everlasting.
I'm reading this again.
(14:25):
It's a great sentence.
What happens when this onenessis accomplished is that divine
memories arise to replaceperception.
This is miracle-mindedness.
The accomplishment of this stateof being is the reason for which
you are here.
It is your return to your divineself.
(14:49):
It heralds the return of heaventhrough the second coming of
Christ, the energy that willbridge the two worlds.
Thoughts or questions on this?
SPEAKER_00 (15:06):
It's a beautiful chapter.
Yes.
It's like poetic.
Mm-hmm.
I just want to sink into it.
I feel that I get so much goesin, and it fills it, and then
that's just, I want to go backinto it, you know, and read it,
(15:29):
and just sink into it.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (15:39):
Anybody else, any thoughts or questions on it?
So for me, the other, yes,beautiful.
Definitely, like all thechapters, we have to read it
again a few times.
But what we're talking abouthere is the lack of judgment.
If I'm dealing with union, ifI'm making a decision to come
(15:59):
from a place of union withpeople, places, and things,
first, there's the union ofheart-mind link, which gives us
the wholeheartedness.
And then And as I choose toengage through union, I begin to
find that oneness that he'sspeaking about here.
(16:21):
So the memories of our life arenot separate memories.
They are not about making usseparate from anyone or not good
enough in any way.
Those memories, when seen fromthe God that you are and aligned
to the oneness with everyone andeverything, allow you to access
(16:45):
the reflection of the God thatyou are or the eternal you.
So now you see it from theperception of you as a God as
the Christ self or the divineself, looking at it from a whole
other perspective that doesn'tengage that fight or flight,
(17:06):
doesn't engage the ego's fear.
It's engaged from a place ofwonder and love and amazement
and gratitude.
Even the kaka can be amazing.
Even the kaka can be hopefulwhen seen from that perspective.
Does that make sense to you?
SPEAKER_00 (17:26):
Yes.
And I, I've been doing work on,on the, all these things that
come up.
Right.
And it is so exciting because,um, I just grabbing one thing
that I that's passed.
That's me.
And that's my dad.
Terrible.
And I don't look at thatanymore.
(17:46):
I look at him, uh, as he wasdoing the best he could.
They, they, uh, the youngest ofsix boys, and he was doing the
best he could.
And so now I take the bits thathave made me, because I'm, you
(18:11):
know, and I see it very, verydifferently.
He tried really hard, but it wasthe wrong way.
So now I just look at I wonderwhat happened to him you know
that kind of thing so that whatI have now is the feeling of the
(18:39):
good feeling of it just goesit's not in a in a box anymore
and it's just it's just anotherbeautiful thing that I've
learned that you've movedthrough that I've moved through
That's nice.
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (18:58):
Anybody else?
SPEAKER_01 (19:00):
I have a question, Cheryl.
Here he talks about the verylast sentence, actually.
It says that heralds the returnof the second coming of Christ.
I kind of look at these twobooks, this one and A Course in
Miracles, kind of as the secondcoming of Christ.
(19:22):
It's his way of coming back hereand giving us all his wisdom
without freaking everybody elseout.
Does that make sense?
SPEAKER_02 (19:37):
Yep, it makes sense.
And it is not, and that has beenspoken of in lots of different
places, that it's not about anew world teacher.
It's about all of humanitybecoming Christed, if you would.
Stepping forward as the God thatthey are, the divine being And I
(19:59):
see that as a part of humanitygrowing up.
We're growing up.
We're taking steps.
I mean, it was like over 2000years ago when he first came and
taught about love.
We're still trying to get it.
Okay.
We're refining our perception.
And what he's talking about is.
(20:19):
Coming from this heart-mindlink, we have the capacity when
we engage union to not...
So think about the difference.
If I'm looking for the oneness,where we're connected, what is
the same within us?
I'm not looking at how you'regoing to fuck up.
(20:42):
I'm not looking at how wrong youare.
I'm not looking at trying tokeep you wrong so I can be
right.
When And I'm coming from unionand heart-mind link.
I'm joyfully looking at how weare one and what's wonderfully
unique about you and wonderfullyunique about me.
(21:03):
Neither is less.
And then we create from somedistant knowing.
And that distant knowing is nowpresent.
It's now present in us today,and that knowing is coming from
the wisdom of love, which iswhat we call miracle-mindedness.
(21:24):
But the trick with this one thatI really like is you get to,
without feeling like you'reinsane and you're hearing
voices, you get to actually haveongoing conversations with the
God that you are and theCreator.
And expect answers.
(21:46):
Yes, exactly.
Not to be saved, but to expectanswers and to understand and
let the miracles happen.
SPEAKER_01 (21:54):
That's right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And, you know, today during themeditation is the first time I
actually...
thought about the heart-to-mindand mind-to-heart difference.
That was so different in howthat felt by going from the
(22:16):
heart to the mind.
And it was like, ta-da!
SPEAKER_02 (22:26):
I get it now.
And the healing effect of theheart to the mind is quite
profound.
Yes.
And therefore to the form.
Perfect.
preparing the body to housecompletely the divine you.
So you become a God-filledbeing.
So there, you're walking on theplanet as a second Christ.
(22:48):
No pressure.
Also, there isn't any place thatyou're going to end up on a
cross, so you're safe.
Okay?
We're not being asked tosacrifice.
We're being asked to love,embrace, to have union, and find
the miracles.
And more importantly, be it.
Yeah.
(23:08):
And to give and to receive.
Like that's...
Yeah.
Yeah.
So with union, we are one.
And play around with this.
Let this be a big...
Focus for you as well as theunderlined lines that we have.
Play around with being one withthe coffee cup, being one with
the dog that you have, the catthat you have, the child that
(23:32):
you have, that person, thatperson, okay?
Practice being one from thatheart-mind link, not from the
mind.
The mind-heart link doesn't giveyou the union, okay?
But from that heart-mind link,You can find that depth and
(23:52):
oneness.
And you don't look for what'swrong or what's different.
You look for what's wonderful,what's oneness.
And that's where genius comesin.
Because in these higher statesof being, the mind aligns to the
knowledge of the eternal.
And that's where genius comesin.
All right.
(24:13):
We'll see you next time.
Yes?
The mind.
Did you see that last statement?
The mind.
Okay, so the mind-heart linkstill keeps us in ego, in
separation, in survival.
The heart-mind link rewires themind itself so it can actually
align to the truths that areassociated with the eternal or
(24:36):
the God that we are.
And that's where we find themiracles.
That's where we can grow up andbe heaven, be the doorway to
heaven on earth.
That's our job.
Okay.
Yeah.
Cheryl.
SPEAKER_00 (24:52):
In the previous book, it was talking about
union.
Yeah.
And then he gave us sort of asentence to say that we choose
union.
Yeah.
Do you remember that quote?
Yeah.
We're not using that.
SPEAKER_03 (25:08):
No.
SPEAKER_00 (25:08):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (25:08):
Yeah, but I'm just saying.
He was talking about thatalready.
He was.
He knows that we're slowlearners.
I know.
Okay.
So this is different fromprayer.
We're not saying God saved mefrom.
Okay.
It's a different ongoingrelationship that you're having
with the God that you are, who'shaving a relationship with the
(25:31):
Creator and therefore in thedivine in all things.
So that's the union we'relooking at here.
Okay, guys, we'll see you nexttime.
Have fun.
SPEAKER_03 (25:44):
Love you.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
