Hope Johnson (00:03):
Aloha and welcome to a Course in Miracles meeting.
Today we're doing a deep diveinto Chapter 2.
At the end of Section 10, yeah,the end of Section 10 in
Chapter 2, par.
12.
We're starting with sentence 1.

(00:25):
And this is from the completeand annotated edition from 2021.
This is on page 94.
Ah, all right, yay, let's startwith a prayer here.
Hmm, start with gratitude toeveryone joining.

(00:50):
Thank you to Jesus for joiningwith us as we open our hearts,
as we open our minds to what isthe meaning behind these words.
Thank you for showing us how towalk in truth and peace, and
opening our minds and denyingreality to fear, opening to the

(01:15):
love that we are, even though wecan't see it, we can't know it.
From this perspective, thankyou for helping us, showing us
the way, being such a beautifulexample of perfect love and
peace and compassion.
Thank you to all of ourbrothers and sisters, everyone,

(01:38):
everywhere.
We're knowing that we all wantto see past this world, even
though it seems like we don't.
Thank you for showing us theway.
Thank you for being the light.
Thank you for reminding us ofour innocence and the truth that
we are.
And we begin now.

(02:00):
Mahalo, mahalo.

(02:20):
Okay, paragraph 12.
You have been afraid of God, ofme this is Jesus speaking of
yourself and of practicallyeveryone you know at one time or
another.
So you have been afraid.
Basically, this is a diagnosisof the ego's whole defense
strategy Fear of everything thatcan help us.

(02:43):
No, this is all helpful God,jesus, yourself and everyone you
know.
All helpful, all totallyhelpful.
So the ego's whole defensestrategy is to make us afraid of
everything that can be helpful,and that's really everything.

(03:04):
It is everything.
It's not that God or Jesus arefrightening at all.
It's just that the ego'sprojecting our own guilt outward
onto them, making love seemlike they're threatening.
Love seem like they'rethreatening.

(03:29):
So this sentence is meant tobring to light how deeply the
ego fears the truth.
The ego would make everyrelationship a threat, because
every relationship reallyreflects divine love.
That's why the ego wants tomake every relationship into a

(03:57):
threat.
Now look, fearing God is becauseof the belief that we've
betrayed him.
That's what's in the mind.
It's a belief that we'vebetrayed God.
We separated ourself fromheaven.
Apparently we didn't really dothat, but that's the belief.
Fearing Jesus because herepresents our perfect innocence

(04:19):
.
You know, there's a sense that,and religion teaches us too
that he's condemning us, he'sjudging us.
Nothing can be further from thetruth.
Fearing ourself, becauseourself as innocent and holy, it
actually exposes the illusionas an illusion.
So being afraid of ourselfprevents us from exposing the

(04:45):
illusion and finally, fearingthe others, our brothers,
everyone's, our brother inChrist, everyone, everyone.
So fearing any one person isreally an expression of our

(05:06):
guilt.
We're projecting that onto themso we don't have to know that
we're carrying it.
We don't really have guilt inthe sense that we own it.
We're projecting a guiltythought because we're keeping it
in our.
We're keeping it on our mind insecret and projecting it
outward onto others as ifthey're guilty.

(05:33):
So notice, let's read thesentence again.
You have been afraid of God, ofme, of yourself and of
practically everyone you know atone time or another.
Notice in yourself where subtlefear comes up in any

(05:57):
relationship.
That's to God, to yourself, toJesus, to anyone else.
Do you fear being seen?
See, there's ideas in our mindlike if they knew how I was,

(06:18):
they would hate me, right, ifthey knew the way I really am.
Do you pull back when love getstoo close?
Does that scare you?
Notice?
Because what Jesus is sayinghere is this subtle fear that's
arising in relationship.

(06:38):
We've all got this.
We've all got this going on.
That's why we're projecting aworld.
The reason the ego fears isbecause it believes it deserves
punishment and being identifiedas an ego.

(07:00):
It takes a certain amount, evenif it's a small amount, of ego
identification to be projectinga world, to be projecting a body
in a world.
That's how you know your mindneeds correction.
Your mind needs purificationbecause you're perceiving a body
in a world.
You're fearing being truly seen, believing that you deserve

(07:26):
punishment.
That's really the ego's belief,but it's identifying with it.
This is to help us get releasedfrom this identification.
Holy encounters that's everyinteraction are opportunities to
heal this projection.

(07:49):
I'm watching you guys, so if youwant to raise your hand or
anything, go ahead.
I'm going to go on to sentencetwo, unless anyone has any
questions about sentence one.
Sentence two one Sentence two.

(08:15):
This can only be because youhave miscreated all of us and
believe in what you made.
So where it says this can onlybe that's referring to the last
sentence, where you have beenafraid of God, of me, of
yourself and practicallyeveryone you know at one time or
another.
So this can only be because youhave miscreated all of us and

(08:35):
believe in what you made.
So you have miscreated all ofus.
Rather than seeing God Jesusyourself, others as they truly
are, you projected a false imagebased on fear.
I've discussed this with youguys many times in wisdom

(08:57):
dialogues how we do not seeanyone as they are, and that
includes God and Jesus.
We don't see ourself as we are.
We don't see God Jesus, any ofour brothers as they are, while
we're perceiving in a separateworld, because we projected a
false image based on fear.

(09:19):
That's why we're perceivingbodies, bodies.
All these are miscreations.
They're distorted figures.
That's why they seem to age,for one thing Okay.
That's why they seem to betrayright.
A lot of people have expressedto me how they feel betrayed by

(09:42):
God.
You know, how could God allowthis to happen, for instance?
You notice that, just noticethat underlying thought.
How could God allow, allow thisto happen?
So these are distorted figuresbased on judgment, punishment
and abandonment and other thingslike that Feeling abandoned by

(10:05):
God, feeling abandoned by Jesusand others Judging the self.
You know, your judgment of theself keeps you from being aware
of its holiness.
Your self is holy and innocent,completely guiltless.
You haven't really doneanything that you think you've

(10:26):
done Second part of thatsentence and believe in what you
made.
Now this is the part thatreally makes it a reality for us
in our minds, only in ourimagination.
We believe in what we made.
We made everything.

(10:47):
We perceive everything andeveryone.
We made them, then forgot wemade them, and now we react to
them as if they're real, them asif they're real.

(11:10):
I noticed that in my own mind.
It's just a matter ofrecognizing when that is
occurring.
You know, in practice, justnotice where you still believe
in the God you made up, someonepunitive, distant, conditional,
or the Jesus, who disapproves ofwhatever you seem to be doing,
or the self, who's not enough,or the others who are capable of

(11:34):
harming you.
I had a friend over today andshe was telling me a story about
how someone has a reallyintense energy and how it's
really hard for her that she'sreacting to it.
And I go oh well, you know youcan only really be reacting to
your own thoughts.
She's like what?

(11:56):
The defensiveness that came up?
Woo, look at now, just lookwithin yourself.
When I say something like that,you can only really be reacting
to your own thoughts.
You know she was.
She was relating to me, thatthis person's energy is
offensive, she feels upset whenthis person's she's around this

(12:16):
person's energy.
And when, when I said that shegoes she's, she said no way, you
know.
She tried to convince me shegoes.
Now I know that if I, if I wasmyself right now, uh, being the
way I could be toward you, youwould be offended by it too.
And I just told her I'm thelight of the world.
Go ahead, let's see.

(12:44):
I happen to know that I'm onlyaffected by my own thoughts.
So, uh, in the words of somefamous singer somewhere hit me
with your best shot.
That's the.
That's the thing we're.
We're really not vulnerable.
I mean, that's the.

(13:07):
That's the thing where we'rereally not vulnerable.
I mean, even if I seem to be,uh, vulnerable to someone else's
energy, I'll be looking at that.
It'll be deep for me.
It'll be deep If I seem to getaffected.
I'm stoked.
You know, I've had, I've hadinstances where someone's
getting in my face, basicallyaccusing me of something, and
I'm noticing my body trembling,but I'm still recognizing that's

(13:32):
not affecting me at the sametime.
So I'm enjoying the tremblingas this is arising right.
Even that I don't have to pushwithin my body's energy field.
I don't have to resist, I don'thave to push within my body's
energy field, I don't have toresist.
And in that opening, that'swhere I'm having a holy
encounter with this person.
Really, you know, I see theperson just kind of like, play

(13:54):
that thing out in front of meand then calm down and come
right back to love.
I don't have to get vulnerable.
There's no need for thatvulnerable, there's no need for

(14:15):
that.
So this can only be the fear,can only be because you've
miscreated all of us and believein what you made.
So the example I gave you guysjust now, that's an example of
forgiveness.
So I'm, I'm forgiving thatmiscreation, I've miscreated
this person to come and, uh, and, and basically the perception
is she's attacking me, uh, withher words.

(14:37):
She's not like trying to hit meor anything, um, which wouldn't
really be that much different.
I mean, it might hurt in thephysical sense, but still it's
coming from my own mind.
I'm knowing that it's comingfrom my own mind.
So that's an example of theholy encounter, forgiveness.

(14:58):
And forgiveness is alwaysinducing miracles.
Right?
The miracle establishes thatI'm dreaming a dream and none of
this content is true, so Ican't react to her in the in a
normal way, like you shouldn'tbe doing this.
You should or try to defendmyself or anything like that.
It's just a way of letting itbe right, letting my it feels

(15:21):
like my energy field opens.
It opens to receive the energyinstead of pushing it away,
instead of resisting it.
Okay, so miscreation is theego's use of mind to fabricate
illusion.

(15:41):
I haven't gone on to the nextsentence yet.
I'm just summarizing thissentence for you guys.
Miscreation is the ego's use ofthe mind to fabricate illusion.
Anything that doesn't look andfeel like love, that's an
illusion.
That's miscreation.

(16:01):
That's miscreation.
Believing in the miscreations,believing in these fabrication,
is what perpetuates fear.
Look at the example I gave you.
Wouldn't that be perpetuatingfear?
And what I notice is mostpeople who run into something
like this, they perpetuate thefear by pretending like that

(16:25):
person is something.
What are they?
They're narcissistic, they'recrazy.
Whatever the story is, that'sbelieving in the fabrications
and perpetuating fear.
It's like it's about them.
It's as if that didn't justcome from your own mind.
It's as if that wasn't just ahealing opportunity for you to

(16:47):
heal your misperceptions, toundo the miscreations that you
made, so you could return totruth.
The Holy Spirit gently helps uswithdraw belief from what we
made If we're willing to listen.
You know, in in my mind it'slike everything slows down when

(17:08):
I'm faced with the miscreation.
Everything just slows down.
I want to see, help me to see.
Okay, so, checking on you guysand see if you have any
questions.
Okay, you're looking good overthere.
Okay, you're looking good overthere on zoom.
You're looking good over thereon sub stack.
Thank you, all right, we'regoing on to sentence three and

(17:32):
if you're just joining, we arein the text of a course in
miracles, where chapter two,part 10, paragraph 12, sentence
3 now, you would never have donethis.

(17:55):
What is this?
What is this Miscreated?
All of this, all of us.
You would never have miscreatedeveryone if you had not been
afraid of your own thoughts.
You would have never miscreatedeveryone if you had not been

(18:17):
afraid of your own thoughts.
Okay, so afraid of your ownthoughts?
This is really going deep.
Okay, so afraid of your ownthoughts?
This is really going deep.
The original fear is not ofothers at all.
It is not of others, it's ofyour own mind.
You know many of you expressfear of something in the world

(18:48):
the president, for instance, ofthe United States.
I've heard that a lot.
Okay, this is the same thing,it's all others.
All others are brothers inChrist, doesn't matter how
they're manifesting.
You know where I'm staying rightnow, in this place where I'm
staying, there are bars on everysingle window.
And you know what?
I'm up high.
This is like it's second story,but it seems like it's so high
it's like third story, it's.

(19:09):
They got high ceilings here andI'm like how the fuck is anyone
going to get up to there, toget in the window in the first
place?
Why do they got bars?
I mean, I guess there's ladders.
Um, this fear of others, it'sreally fear of our own mind.
You know, I was walking downthe street the other day and I
noticed there's lots of dogsaround here.

(19:30):
And you know, I just noticed asense like there's a bulldog, or
was it a bulldog, I don't knowSome, some kind of dog.
Um, all of a sudden, itoccurred to me, what if that dog
bites me?
And you know what the thoughtthat met it right away is?
I can only be afraid of my ownmind.

(19:50):
And that's really how thisplays out in just regular
day-to-day operation.
Right, the sense of fear comesup and then it's just, it's just
that that sense of fear, thatfearful thought is just brought
to the truth.
And then it's just, it's justthat that sense of fear, that
fearful thought, is just broughtto the truth.
I can only be afraid of my ownmind.
The sense, even the thoughtthat came up, that said, what if

(20:13):
that dog bites me?
Is an effect of guilt.
That's all it is.
Otherwise, everything justfeels very peaceful, everything.
Everything feels like it's not.
Nothing can harm you, right?
So immediately, like I don't.
I don't try to analyze myselfor anything like that.
The Holy Spirit does notanalyze the self.

(20:34):
I just look at it and go oh,that's a fearful thought that
has no meaning.
And you know, whatever,whatever guilt seems to be
lurking in the subconscious mind.
It just automatically getsresolved right there.
It's an automatic resolution.
It's like oh, of course that'sa guilty.

(20:55):
It's actually a guilty thought.
A fearful thought is actually aguilty thought.
Okay, we believe our thoughts,especially the separation
thought, have harmed us.
We actually believe that ourthoughts have harmed us.
That's why we're perceivingseparation, because we believe

(21:19):
that the thought of separationhas actually harmed us.
So we're perceiving separationand in that we perceive fearful
things.
So we're actually afraid of ourown thoughts.
We're not ever afraid ofanything in the world as it
seems.
Isn't that fun and funny.
We're not ever afraid ofanything in the world.

(21:41):
We're only ever afraid of ourown thoughts.
So bring that to the truth.
When it seems like we're afraidof something in the world, what
if it seems like you're afraidof, let's say, an investigator
of welfare fraud?
I had a friend express that tome lately.
It's the same You're afraid ofyour own thoughts, afraid of the

(22:03):
IRS agent.
You're afraid of your ownthoughts, afraid of the IRS
agent.
You're afraid of your ownthoughts, afraid of the murderer
that just moved in down thestreet, I don't know Whatever
you guys got going on.
It's the same thing.
You're just afraid of your ownthoughts.
And that could be cured.
That can actually be cured.
Forgiveness cures the sense ofbeing afraid.

(22:26):
And then there's a footnotehere, footnote 127.
We believe our thoughts havehurt us and made us vulnerable.
That's a fun word.
Lots of people use that wordvulnerable, in my perception, I
think that's fun.
We then project what ourthoughts have done to us onto

(22:50):
God, jesus and others, makingthem appear to be the
destructive agents.
Yeah, I hear this.
It's really funny hear this.
It's really funny.
Something bad happens orperceived bad happens.
Let's say, sickness arises, asense of sickness arises.

(23:11):
Maybe it's an injury or a woundor a perceived accident, and
people actually believe that Goddid that to them.
I mean that is a common thing.
I mean that is a common thing.
Well, god must have wanted meto have this ailment or this
accident or this thing or thisbreakup or anything like that,

(23:32):
because of my sins, because mythoughts, because this, because
that, god, jesus, they do notmake your perception.
You make your perception Withyour back turned to God and
Jesus, with your back turned tothe light.

(23:52):
You make your perception, yourperception is perfect for you,
because it's a means to wakingup.
There's nothing wrong with it.
But God and Jesus are not doingthat to you.
They're not doing anything toyou and also others, others,
doing something to you, makingthem appear like they're the

(24:14):
ones that are the destructiveagents.
This is how the ego hides thesource of fear.
It blames love for what's goingon.
Remember God, jesus, others,yourself, all love, all perfect
love.
So the ego blames love insteadof your own error as the source

(24:38):
of fear.
This error, this error, all itis is listening to the ego.
It's listening to the egothat's the source of fear.
The error can't really hurt you, but you believe that it has
hurt you and that's why there'sthe projection onto god, jesus,
yourself and others.

(25:00):
So, in practice, what you wantto do is notice where do I feel
vulnerable or betrayed?
Now back to that wordvulnerable.
A lot of times people will tellme wow, you're being so
vulnerable Because, especiallyon wisdom dialogues, you know
I'll talk about whatever my mindis projecting.

(25:24):
You know I'll just bring it outinto the open.
Our minds are not separate.
Anyways, our thoughts are notprivate.
I'll just bring it out in theopen whatever my mind is
projecting and people go you'reso vulnerable too.
It's actually not vulnerable,it's actually invulnerability.
You know it's like I don't feelvulnerable about the thoughts

(25:45):
that occur in my mind.
That's the thing I don't feelvulnerable about the thoughts
that occur in my mind.
That's the thing I don't feelvulnerable about them.
I can just express them becauseI don't mean anything and my
mind isn't private.
So look, notice where you feelvulnerable about your thoughts
or where you feel betrayed byanyone, or where you feel

(26:08):
betrayed by anyone, and noticeis that a belief.
See if you could trace it backto a belief, a thought in your
mind.
Notice the thought.
You know this thing aboutfeeling vulnerable about your
thoughts.
It's like, oh, I must beunloving.
I must be unlovable because ofthis thought.
That thought never touched you.

(26:28):
All you're doing is listening toan ego.
It's okay, I like to say themout loud.
I like to just say them outloud.
That way people don't feelalone, like they've got these
ego thoughts and there'ssomething wrong with them.
I just say them right out loud.
I'm like this is a, this iswhat occurred in my mind, and

(26:59):
just see if you can bring thatto the light.
Just bring it to the light,even if you're not expressing it
to anyone, you know.
You're just bringing it to thelight because a major source of
fear is trying to hide fromyourself what you're thinking
with the ego.
And it's not really hidden.
It's like it's kind of like youknow.

(27:21):
It's kind of like you're tryingto hide behind this really thin
pole, right.
It's like you're of like you'retrying to hide behind this
really thin pole, right.
It's like you're seen, you'retotally seen.
You're not hiding anything andyou're seen by yourself.
You see it and then you coverit up because you don't want to
see it.
And this is the major hindranceto waking up, see.

(27:44):
So, summary of that lastsentence, sentence three again.
Oh, this is actually yeah,sentence three.
You would never have done thisif you had not been afraid of
your own thoughts.
And then the footnote 127connection we believe our
thoughts have hurt us and madeus vulnerable.

(28:07):
We then project what ourthoughts have done to us onto
God, jesus and others, makingthem appear to be the
destructive agents.
So here's the summary of thatsentence and the footnote that
goes along with it.

(28:27):
The mind is fearing itselfbecause of what it believes it
has done.
It hasn't done it, it hasn'treally done it, but it's afraid
of itself because it believes ithas done something.
Basically, what it believes ithas done is thought against
truth and that that thought hasreal effects.

(28:49):
It makes us afraid of our ownthoughts.
It makes us afraid of thesethoughts that we thought with
the ego.
So that's fueling projection.
It's making others.
It's making ourselves, god.
Others seem dangerous to us,like they're threats to us.
It's projecting threats intothe field.

(29:11):
So healing is about reclaimingour power of thought.
So we're just offering allthese thoughts to the spirit.
We have to be willing to seethem, though, to offer thoughts
to the spirit.
There's so much covering upbecause we're so afraid of
what's in our mind, because it'sso dark.
For one thing, we all gotmurderous thoughts in there and

(29:41):
perverted thoughts in there,right?
So these don't make you bad,these don't make you wrong.
That's the thing.
And if you could see them, ifyou're willing to see them, you
just bring them all to theSpirit.
The Spirit's not judging you.

(30:01):
And I'm saying the Spirit, I'msaying the Holy Spirit.
This is the voice for God.
God's not judging you.
Jesus isn't judging you.
And I'm saying the Spirit, I'msaying the Holy Spirit.
This is the voice for God.
God's not judging you.
Jesus isn't judging you.
No one in the field, none ofyour brothers, that's every
person.
They're not capable of judgingyou, even if it appears to you
that they are.
That's actually self-judgment.

(30:22):
So you know, for me, I'm notafraid of what anyone makes of
anything I say.
That's why it's easy for me tojust share from my heart, to
share what it is.
I'm not afraid that people willmake their interpretations.
I'm not afraid of that becauseI know they're not capable of

(30:43):
judging me and all that's goingon there.
When I perceive a judgmentcoming from them, that's my mind
projecting the judgment.
That's giving me an opportunity.
I love it.
I'm grateful for that.
So I'm checking on you guys incase you have any questions.
Thank you for joining.
Thank you for coming and justlistening too.
I appreciate that.

(31:05):
Okay, we're on to sentencenumber four, and this is on page
95.
Now we're back to vulnerable.
I love this.
The vulnerable are essentiallymiscreators because they
misperceive creation.
So vulnerable equals miscreator, vulnerable.

(31:32):
If you're feeling vulnerable,it's because you miscreated.
We're not vulnerable because ofthe world.
We're vulnerable because wemiscreate.
What does that mean?
We use the power of our mind tosee falsely.
They misperceive creation,god's creation, what God created

(31:59):
is whole, holy, invulnerable.
Holy, invulnerable.
Misperceiving, basicallyperceiving yourself as separate.
I see this all the time.

(32:19):
I see this all the time and itreally speaks loudly to me when
I'm perceiving spiritualteachers talk about how weak
they are.
Oh, I'm so thankful that Godblesses me.
And I'm so weak.
I'm so this.
I'm so.
No, you're.
You're not.
You're actually whole, holy andinvulnerable.
You're not weak, you're not.
You can't be.
You're a powerful creator.

(32:41):
Projecting yourself as weak,projecting yourself as weak,
that's all, and then pretendinglike that's true, you're not one
bit weak, there's nothing weakabout you, it's a mind
pretending.
This is very common.
You know.
Most people want this softspirituality that's just like.

(33:02):
Ah, it feels good to be weakwith everyone else and God still
loves me.
Just projecting weakness intothe field or projecting yourself
as threatening.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
All right, You're notthreatening it.
You have nothing to be sorryabout, right?
You're not threatening anything.

(33:22):
You have nothing to be sorryabout.
Everything you ever say andeverything you ever do is 100%
helpful to yourself and everyone.
100% helpful.
Can you accept thatMisperceiving, misperceiving

(33:44):
God's creation, which is allthere is, there's nothing else,
misperceiving God's creation asif it's separate, weak or
threatening, leads tomiscreation, false images in a
dangerous world.
Oh, I screwed it up, forinstance.
You can't screw anything up.

(34:06):
That's the truth to live in.
So, in practice, for thissentence, the vulnerable are
essentially miscreators becausethey misperceive creation.
This is what makes youvulnerable, perceive yourself as
vulnerable anyways.
So, in practice, look at this.

(34:28):
Feeling vulnerable is a signal.
Let it be a signal, not thatyou're weak, but a signal that
you forgot what creation is.
An opportunity to ask what am Imaking up right now?
That's making me feelvulnerable.
Vulnerability is nothing butthe effect of identifying with

(34:58):
illusion, which is basicallylistening to what the ego is
saying.
That's how you identify withillusion.
Clarity comes when we rememberthat only god, only what god
creates, is real, and nothinggod creates can be harmed.
There's no threat anywhere increation.

(35:20):
So if there's a sense thatanything can be harmed, that's
vulnerability.
That's why people say you're sovulnerable when they hear me
talking about my thoughts, myapparent life, my perception,
stuff like that.
You're being so vulnerablebecause it seems like something

(35:41):
can be threatened.
I'm like I don't feelvulnerable, though I love to put
this stuff out there and makethe perception that something
can be threatened, because Ijust deny any meaning to that.
I know it's not threatened, Iknow it's blessed, I know
everything I share is blessedand it doesn't matter to me what
kind of reflections I get.

(36:02):
I bless all, the all of thosereflections.
It's fun for me.
So, uh, bring them on, allright.
So you guys, we just finishedone whole paragraph in only 49
minutes, or 40, 40 minutes maybe.

(36:25):
So we're on to now.
We're now, we're going on to,unless anyone has any questions.
I see you.
I see you on Zoom and I see youon Substack, so you can ask
questions.
You can go on Zoom, you can geton the Q&A, you can get on the

(36:45):
chat and ask me any questions,and the same thing with you
Substack peeps.
You can just put your questionright on there if you want.
Okay, so the next section.
This is still on page 95 of thecomplete and annotated edition.
The next section is section 11of chapter two, and we're

(37:08):
starting with paragraph one,sentence one.
You are willing to acceptprimarily what does not change
your mind too much and leavesyou free to leave it quite
unguarded most of the time.
This is Jesus talking righthere.

(37:28):
Okay, this is most of whatpeople are doing with
spirituality.
Okay, you know, all the thingsare fun.
All the all the differentthings are fun Ceremonies, what
else.
Or we just talk about how we'reone and all that kind of stuff

(37:54):
Ecstatic dance, peyoteceremonies, all these different
things that people do forspirituality.
But what it's saying right here?
Not that any of this stuff iswrong, by any means.
There's never any judgment in ACourse in Miracles.
Any judgment that you perceiveis something that you're
projecting.
This is not where this is goingat all.
Nothing's wrong.
What Jesus is saying is you'rewilling to accept primarily what

(38:15):
does not change your mind toomuch.
A course in miracles is meantto change your mind a lot and
leaves you free to leave itquite unguarded most of the time
.
So we went over that in the lastdeep dive.

(38:35):
It was a couple of paragraphsback about how we just leave our
mind unguarded so much.
So let's get into this.
What does not change your mindtoo much?
It says so.
This is exposing the ego's game.
The ego loves mild spirituality,mild spirituality, any

(38:55):
spirituality that doesn't godeep.
That's what the ego loves.
Mild spirituality, mildspirituality, any spirituality
that doesn't go deep.
That's what the ego loves.
Right For me.
I kind of have a radar for that.
I'm like okay, this is a wasteof time, this is basically just
wasting time.
Waste of time.

(39:19):
This is basically just wastingtime.
Ideas that soothe but don'tactually transform.
Right, there's nothing wrongwith them.
At a point, people need them.
That's why I'm saying there'snothing wrong with them.
At a point, people need to justknow hey, it's okay, it's okay,
it's all love, it's all right.
The ego prefers safety overshift.
So that's what it's saying here.

(39:42):
What does not change your mindtoo much, you're willing to
accept.
Primarily, what does not changeyour mind too much.
This is the ego's game.
This is exposing what the egois doing here, and even with
spirituality, especially withspirituality, this is the ego's
game.
This is exposing what the egois doing here, and even with

(40:03):
spirituality, especially withspirituality, it's not going to
work in the long run.
None of this is going to workin the long run.
You're changing your mind aboutwhat your mind is, for
basically is inevitable, so it'snot going to go on forever.
So and leaves you free to leaveit quite unguarded.

(40:26):
So the part where it says leaveit quite unguarded, this means
it leaves your mind open to egoinfluences.
Look how common it is for aperson doing you know
spirituality, whether it'sreligion, going to a Catholic
church or going to a unitychurch or involved in spiritual

(40:51):
activities.
The untrained mind isvulnerable to attack because it
hasn't chosen the protection byspirit.
Vulnerable to attack means youknow.
You're making yourself weak,you're making yourself into an
illusion, you're believing thatother people's energy affects

(41:12):
you.
Oh, the person who was visitingme today totally into spiritual
stuff for years and years, andyears and years and basically
trying to convince me that she'svulnerable to someone else's
energy.
She's being affected by someoneelse's energy and I'm saying,

(41:34):
oh no, that's not reallypossible, you're only really
affected by someone else'senergy.
And I'm saying, oh no, that'snot really possible.
You're only really affected byyour own thoughts.
So then she tries to convinceme that I can be affected by her
acting out and I'm just likeimpossible, impossible, that's

(41:56):
impossible.
This is a common thing.
This is what this is pointingout right here.
This is a common thing.
The untrained mind is vulnerableto attack.
What's attacking it?
Your own thoughts.
That's what makes it vulnerableto attack.
Instead of being grateful thatI'm perceiving someone who seems

(42:20):
like they're affecting me insome way, I'm making it as if
I'm actually affected by them.
You can't be affected by anyone.
Just knowing that this is howyou guard your mind.
Just knowing that I can only beaffected by my own thoughts,

(42:42):
that's guarding your mind.
I can only be affected by myown thoughts.
So notice where you're acceptingteachings, even teachings from
A Course in Miracles, butactually avoiding transformation
.
You know, I noticed the look inthe woman's eyes when she's
telling me this stuff.
She looks afraid becausewhere's the next person whose

(43:06):
energy is going to affect me?
I got to be.
I got to be guarding myselfinstead of guarding my thoughts.
I got to be guarding this form.
I got to be erecting boundariesand all this other stuff
because other people's energycan affect me.
That's weakness.
That's projecting weakness.
You're not really weak.

(43:27):
That's avoiding transformation.
So if this is resisting, this isan example of resisting the
deep undoing, the deep undoingof the ego that real miracle
mindedness would require.
So the ego loves teachings thatdon't threaten its control,

(43:50):
Basically its control.
Remember what the ego is doinghere.
Its control is about you beingvulnerable.
It's about threats coming fromsomething other than your
thoughts.
Truly changing your mindrequires vigilance and
willingness to let it be undone.

(44:11):
This is mind training.
This is what A Course inMiracles is all about.
It's mind training to help usguard against illusions and
truly invite spirit's correction.
So that's sentence one, and onto sentence one and on to

(44:39):
sentence two.
You persist in believing thatwhen you do not consciously
watch your mind, it is unmindful.
So what does that mean?

(45:00):
You persist in believing thisis not talking about a casual
misunderstanding.
It's stubborn.
You persist in believing.
You're being stubborn.
It's a habitual belief.
Jesus is pointing here to a coreego defense the idea that if

(45:25):
I'm not consciously thinkingsomething, it must not be
happening.
This is truly.
This is denial.
Okay, this is a.
This is the ego's strategy.
It's denial of the power ofyour mind.
It's like if you're just notconsciously thinking something,
it says you persist in believing.
So not a casualmisunderstanding, stubborn,

(45:46):
habitual belief.
Watch your mind, it isunmindful.
So the ego convinces us, triesto convince us does a pretty
good job of it usually that themind only works on the surface,

(46:12):
that unconscious or unwatched,unwatched thoughts that's what's
going on.
They're unwatched thoughts.
The ego convinces us thatunconscious or unwatched
thoughts aren't active, aren'tpowerful, aren't making us
responsible.
But here's where Jesus iscorrecting this.
Jesus is basically saying herethat all mind is active, even

(46:38):
when we're not watching it.
The mind continues to eithercreate or miscreate.
This is the root of allprojection, because our
unconscious guilt fuelsdistorted perception.
So you can just notice anythingin the perception that seems
like you don't want it there.
That's an effect of unwantedguilt or unconscious guilt

(46:58):
Unwanted guilt too, I mean, youkind of want it because you're
choosing to be unconscious of it.
It's distorting your perceptionand believing it comes from
outside of us because we're notwatching the source of it.
I love to see that If I get aperception someone's doing

(47:20):
something to me sometimes Iwon't see it right away, but I
know it.
So if I don't see it right away, I'm in an asking state.
Let me see.
Let me see.
I know this is coming for me.
Gosh, it doesn't seem like it'scoming to me.
Oh, my God, what a fuckingasshole that person is.
Gosh, it's coming for me.

(47:41):
I want to see, right.
So just don't let the ego getaway with projecting it outside,
recognizing I'm not watchingsomething.
I actually want to seesomething.
I want to see how I'm castingthis.
So in practice, you can begin toassume that the mind is just

(48:03):
always active, always active,even when you're not paying
attention to it.
I'll notice, like, if I'mwalking through my house here
and I just gently bump intosomething, it's like oh, hmm,
just noticing that mind isalways active, projecting
something, some kind of guilt,and oh, I could see right away.

(48:26):
Oh, it was that thing that thatperson said to me.
It triggered a guilty thought.
I see that.
Okay, good, moving on, that'sall it is Just noticing that
guilty thought actually doesn'tmean anything.
It seems like I should have donesomething better.
Oh, good, I'm glad I see that,seeing it, you allow yourself to

(48:48):
recognize that it has no power.
In reality, you deny anymeaning to it.
That's why the way that it haspower is letting it go unnoticed
.
So I'm taking this as I'mwalking and I bump into
something.
I'm like, oh, it just makes mealert and I don't have to stop

(49:09):
and analyze anything.
Really, it just makes me alertBecause it shows itself to me
right away, and this is as aresult of practice.
It's like shows.
It shows itself to me rightaway, you know, and this is as a
result of practice.
It's like, oh, I took that tomean that I was guilty.
I'll just show it to me and,and that's a very it's, it's a
very powerful thought when itgoes unrecognized.

(49:29):
That's why I got bumped, that'swhy I made it, so I bumped
myself so I could see it, so Icould recognize that that
thought is a meaningless thought.
That's what withdraws powerfrom it.
If I'm not withdrawing powerfrom it and it's just going
unconscious, then it is verypowerful to make more illusions
and project time.

(49:50):
You see what I mean.
So noticing the areas of yourlife where you feel chaotic or
uncontrolled.
These are reflecting unwatchedthoughts, unwatched beliefs.
So what jesus is saying is thatwe're usually not guarding our
mind, and he's encouraging us.
He's not projecting any guilton us for doing this, it's never

(50:11):
what he's doing.
He's encouraging us to watchmore.
What must I believe to makethis appear to me?
That's just a gentle question.
What must I believe to makethis appear to me as if it's
coming from outside of us?
Okay, I got a question herefrom Sarah.

(50:33):
Okay, I got a question herefrom Sarah.
Do you recommend dailymeditation to deal with the
feeling of vulnerability andfear?
If meditation feels inspiredfor you, okay, that's the thing.
Does it feel inspired?
Because a lot of the times,people are using meditation as

(50:55):
another way to project guiltonto themselves.
You know this idea of I shouldmeditate, or something like that
.
Look, does it feel good?
And what does meditation looklike?
Anyways, we're talking aboutthat right now.
Guarding your mind, right,you're noticing here.
Here's what.
Here's what meditation wouldlook like.
They'd be right.
You're noticing here.

(51:16):
Here's what.
Here's what meditation wouldlook like They'd be.
You know, truly an effectivemeditation where you're just
sitting and you're watching thethoughts that come up.
You're just and, and you know,for this you actually don't need
to be sitting still.
You can be if that appeals toyou.
Uh, but a lot of people usemeditation as another way to
bypass.
It's like sitting in a pose,pretending to be quiet, ignoring

(51:42):
your thoughts, whatever.
You don't want to ignore them.
You want to notice, noticewhat's coming, and you know, in
doing that, you'll have momentsof silence where you just hear
from spirit too.
It's beautiful.
Meditation is wonderful.
Just watch what you're using itfor.

(52:03):
So it's kind of like a yes, Irecommend it.
Does it feel inspired?
Should you do it?
It's not like that.
When you're practicing A Coursein in miracles, when you're
practicing the lessons, many ofthe lessons are saying hey, see
if you can sit quietly for thisamount of time.

(52:23):
Set aside a half an hour to sitquietly and just watch your
thoughts.
Take a half hour to sit quietlyand sink beneath them.
See if you can sink beneathyour thoughts.
Let it be gentle, let yourselfbe inspired to it.
Etta Mae, you're raising yourhand.
That means you want to speak tome.
Yeah, just keep it up.

(52:44):
If that's true, Keep your handup if you want to speak with me.
Sometimes people do that andthey don't realize.
I'm going to bring them on.
I'm going to bring you on ifthat's the case.
Okay, I'm going to bring you onif that's the case, okay.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
All right, Adam, may unmute yourself.
Oh, hey, I have a question.
Yeah, so I was raised I guessit feels like it came from my
childhood where I find myselfeven today saying I'm sorry like
someone hurt and I, I like hearabout it.
I wasn't even there and I'mlike, oh, I'm sorry Like someone
gets hurt and I like hear aboutit.
I wasn't even there and I'mlike, oh, I'm sorry to hear that
, yeah, you know.
And then what?
I?

(53:20):
I don't like that, I don't likesaying that I've become aware
of that.
But then what I find myselfdoing is saying, oh, please
forgive me for being late, orplease forgive me for not
replying more, you know timely,or anyway.
I wonder if you could speak tothat, Cause I'm really trying to
like break that habit and thatmore.

(53:41):
Thank you Okay.

Okay, yeah, of course, yeah.
So that's just the underlyingguilt, as if you could do
something wrong.
Remember, I was talking earlierabout how, uh, everything you
do and everything you say is100% helpful.
Everything you do andeverything you say is 100%
helpful 100% of the time.
That means even getting theperception that you're saying
you're sorry or please forgiveme.

(54:04):
See that.
So there's nothing that youwant to try to change about
yourself as far as your habitsin the field.
It's just your habits of theway you're looking.
So that's why I like to shareeverything you do and everything
you say is a hundred percenthelpful, so you don't have to
take any point of view likesaying you're sorry is wrong or

(54:26):
something you know.
Uh, so, so, uh.
Recently I've been, I've been,uh, seeing this friend.
A friend started coming overand going to block therapy with
me and she appears to be late.
Often, every time actually, sheappears to be late and she's
sorry.
A million times, apparently,I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

(54:47):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
So at one point I'm like youreally say you're sorry a lot,
don't you?
And she's like I do, and she'slike I do, and you know she had
just done it and she's like Ijust said I'm sorry right now
and I said, oh yeah, I've heardyou say you're sorry at least 10
times in the few days that Iknow you and she's like, really,
I've been doing like she wasn'teven aware of it and I was like

(55:09):
it's okay, I just wanted to letyou know that everything you do
and everything you say is ahundred percent helpful, a
hundred percent of the time.
Well, she couldn't accept that.
She couldn't accept that idea.
You know there's a, there's abecause and the because is and
this is what came out she wantsother people to be sorry for how

(55:30):
they do things that are bad toher.
So this is just something towatch.
It's not to try to change yourbehavior.
Your, your behavior doesautomatically change when you
accept the deeper teaching.
See what Jesus is pointing toall the time is your innocence,
your holiness, that you can't doanything to harm yourself or

(55:53):
anyone else in the field.
So these things will changeautomatically.
You know you might find yourselflike what I find myself
sometimes is going oops and thenlaughing, you know, and and
it's and it's not like.
Uh, it's not like.
I find myself going, you'rewelcome to the person.
Uh, like when they seem likethey're harmed or anything like
that.

(56:14):
You know, I might just likefind myself putting my arm
around them or going oh, okayand, and just kind of like shift
, find myself shifting uhbehavior A lot of the times.
What seems to be uh difficultfor people is with me is that
I'm fucking loud.
They'll be like oh, whoops,okay, um, but it's just an

(56:39):
internal recognizing that,whatever it is, it's a hundred
percent helpful, a hundredpercent of the time.
It can not be another way andlet it be helpful to you.
See what I'm saying.
I like that, thank you.
Yeah, you're welcome.
Thank you for the question.
I love you, adam.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
Yeah, love you too.
How do I unmute myself?
Will you do that?
I'll do it for you, Okay?
Thank you yeah.

Okay, so we're assuming that the mind is always
active.
Even when we're not payingattention, we're noticing areas
of our life where it feels likeit's chaotic or uncontrolled.
These are reflecting unwatchedbelief.
This is the practice forguarding your thoughts.
Okay, asking what must Ibelieve for this to appear real

(57:30):
to me?
So this is for this lastsentence, the sentence two in
paragraph one, section 11 ofchapter two.
The text is you persist inbelieving that when you do not
consciously watch your mind, itis unmindful.
So the mind never stops,whether you're watching it or

(57:56):
not.
It never, never, ever, everstops.
It's always creating ormiscreating.
Believing that unconsciousequals inactive is a major ego
defense.
There's never a time when yourmind's not thinking.
True mind training includestaking responsibility for all

(58:20):
thoughts, not just the ones younotice.
All thoughts.
How do you take responsibilityfor all thoughts, even if you
don't notice them?
Every single thing that youperceive is an effect of your
own thoughts.
That includes sex traffickingout in the world.
It's an effect of your ownthoughts.
That includes sex traffickingout in the world.
It's an effect of your ownthoughts.
If you watch my last wisdomdialogues, I was taking

(58:43):
responsibility for that sextrafficking thing.
I was cruising aroundGuadalajara and I saw these
posters there must've beenthousands of posters of missing
people, right, and what my mindinterpreted was sex trafficking,
right.
So in taking responsibility, Ididn't I didn't go into any

(59:06):
analyzing or anything like that,I just noticed I'm casting this
.
And then in the last wisdomdialogues, uh, I just found
myself, and you know it, kind oflike unfolded right in that
talk that, oh my goodness, everysexual attraction or sexual
thought or sexual fantasy that Iever get and don't recognize is

(59:31):
actually a substitute for truth, is projecting things like sex
trafficking.
So it's just in noticing thatit's taking responsibility for
all thoughts, they're the onesthat's causing the manifestation
.
They're even causing themanifestation of what I seem to
do.
So this is different fromtaking responsibility for your

(59:53):
own actions.
It's actually different.
Taking responsibility for yourown actions in that's actually
different.
Taking responsibility for yourown actions in that way that the
ego would have you takeresponsibility for your own
actions is actuallyirresponsibility for the
thoughts that made them.
It's going to the effectinstead of the cause.
The cause is actually thethoughts that go unrecognized as

(01:00:14):
an attack on yourself andactually manifest in the field.
All right, so that was sentencetwo and we're onto sentence
three.
Here's the sentence it is timeto consider the whole world of
the unconscious or unwatchedmind.

(01:00:38):
It is time to consider.
This is a loving invitation.
It's also a call tocourageously look.
He's not saying dive into yourunconscious and analyze it.
That's not what we're talkingabout here.
It's not what we're doing hereAnalyze it.
That's not what we're talkingabout here.
It's not what we're doing here.

(01:00:58):
He's saying it's time toacknowledge that the unconscious
mind exists and is activelyshaping your perception.
That is what is activelyshaping all perception, every
single thing you perceive.
He's saying it is time toconsider the whole world of the
unconscious or unwatched mind.
It's time to stop pretending.

(01:01:20):
Is what he's saying that whatyou don't see isn't affecting
you?
It's affecting everything, thewhole world of the unconscious
or unwatched mind.
This isn't a minor corner of thepsyche.
So, sarah, you were askingabout meditation.
That's.
That's where you know when youthink of meditation, you're

(01:01:41):
setting aside a time to watchyour thoughts.
Right, that's beautiful, that'sblessed, as you feel inspired
toward that.
When you know, when you're notfeeling inspired toward it, when
it doesn't feel easeful for youor at least you don't feel, you
know, drawn toward it.
Sometimes it doesn't feeleaseful for you, or at least you
don't feel, uh, you know, drawntoward it.
Sometimes it doesn't feeleaseful, but you're, you feel
really inspired, inspired towardit.
Anyways.

(01:02:01):
You're like, okay, I feel likedoing this, right, it's not as
productive, but just, you know,recognizing there isn't any
corner of your psyche Okay,there's not any that's not
making this world.
It's a whole world of thoughts.
The whole world is a world ofthoughts We've been hiding from

(01:02:23):
ourselves.
It's an unwatched mind.
Jesus here is linking theunconscious directly with the
unwatched.
That's what makes itunconscious.
Unconscious equals unwatched.
Not because it's inherentlyunknowable.
See, that's the way we're usedto looking at it.
Oh, it's unconscious, we can'tknow it.

(01:02:46):
But no, it's actually unwatchedbecause we're choosing.
We're actively choosing not tolook at it, and this is where
the healing begins.
The unwatched mind is whereguilt festers, fantasies, fear.
It's where the miracle mustreach.

(01:03:06):
You know, so much of this isjust working on the surface.
What we're consciously aware of.
Well, the unwatched mind, theunconscious, the way you watch
the unconscious mind, isrecognizing that it's shaping
everything in the world Wars,climate change, apparent climate

(01:03:29):
change, whether you believe inthat or not, even if you don't
believe it, in it, other peopledo in your perception.
Okay, that's your unconsciousor unwatched mind making that
effect.
So back to the sentence it is itis time to consider the whole

(01:03:53):
world of the unconscious orunwatched mind.
So, in practice, don't try touncover anything, everything all
at once.
Just practice your practice.
You're practicing.
Start with a little bit ofwillingness, whatever you can
muster up to look at things likethat, recognize every single

(01:04:14):
thing the way your, the way yourcouches are arranged, the floor
, uh, the way people speak toyou it's all set up from your
unconscious, unwatched mind.
Ask what is it?
I'm afraid to see it in myself.
Why don't I want to acknowledgethat this is coming from my
mind.
Uh, you know, bless you guysfor being on and listening to

(01:04:38):
this, because so many peoplecan't even hear this.
I noticed so many people arenot even willing to hear this.
How can you say that I'm makingall this stuff up?
That makes me feel guilty.
Well, that's the ego's game tomake you feel guilty.
There's nothing guilty.
That's why you know A Course inMiracles is going over this
again and again.
You are holy, whole, guiltless,innocent.

(01:05:01):
You need to know this to be ableto look and not flinch at what
you see.
So notice what you're afraid tosee in yourself.
You know this is not really you.
What's what?
The thoughts that you'rebelieving in the unconscious,
unwatched mind?
They are not really you.
Don't be afraid to look at them.
That's the whole game to makeyou afraid to look at them.

(01:05:24):
Now, the truth about you is solofty.
None of this stuff touches you,but who you are looking at it
actually undoes it.
Okay, so trust that the HolySpirit brings these unconscious
thoughts to light gently, gently, only when you're ready.

(01:05:46):
It's just this littlewillingness to look, let it be
gentle, the Holy Spirit.
You can trust that the HolySpirit's not going to totally
shock you with anything that youcan't handle.
Okay, you're not going to seethe super vicious, murderous
thoughts right away that are inthe mind.

(01:06:08):
It's going to come on gently.
I'm telling you that they'rethere ahead of time, so you're
going to be able to be preparedwhen you see this murderous,
perverted, terrible thoughtsthat make you look so guilty, so
treacherous.
They're meant to be that way,so you keep them hidden.

(01:06:30):
They're not about you, though.
Go gently.
So the unconscious mind it'snot passive.
We're still on sentence three.
The unconscious mind is notpassive.
It contains powerful beliefsthat shape your experience.

(01:06:53):
Look, this shit looks real,doesn't it?
That's a testament to howpowerful these beliefs are.
There's a whole body, seemingbody, here in a world that seems
to be on a timeline.
Look how powerful this mind,this unconscious, unwatched mind
, is recognizing the power ofthese thoughts.

(01:07:15):
Avoiding them is the defensivemechanism of the ego.
The ego wants you to avoid them, not see them, make you feel
guilty for them.
Healing begins with willingnessto bring them into the light,
not by delving into the content,but just by recognizing there's

(01:07:37):
a need for help.
Look at it.
You get a perception ofsomething in the world that
looks very unloving, recognizingthe need for help for bringing
these unconscious thoughts intoconsciousness so they can be
resolved there.

(01:07:58):
All right, I'm always checkingon you guys to make sure you
don't have any questions.
Okay, you're looking good.
Thank you for listening.
I love you.
All right, Sentence four we'restill on paragraph one.
We're still on paragraph one.
This will frighten you becauseit is the source of fright.

(01:08:18):
Okay, this it says this willfrighten you.
What is this?
This is the unconscious orunwatched mind.
Okay, so the unconscious orunwatched mind will frighten you
because it is the source offright.
This will frighten you.
Jesus is gently preparing usRight.

(01:08:45):
That's what I was talking aboutjust about a minute ago.
What's there in the unconscious, unwatched mind is going to
make you look treacherous.
This is the preparation.
Jesus is saying this now.
He's preparing us for lookingat the unconscious mind.
It's not comfortable.
Why is it not comfortable?

(01:09:06):
Because it's thoughts thatwe've disowned.
We're trying to keep themhidden from ourselves.
We're painting this false imagethat looks like it's not
murderous, but underneath it arethoughts we've disowned,
especially the belief that weseparated from God and destroyed

(01:09:29):
our own innocence.
We secretly believe that ourown innocence has been destroyed
.
That's what we're undoing here.
We secretly believe that ourown innocence has been destroyed
.
We secretly believe we'veseparated ourselves from God.
Even being willing to look feelsthreatening to the ego.
This is not something that'spopular, okay.

(01:09:52):
In spirituality, it's notsomething that's popular.
It's popular, okay.
And spirituality it's notsomething that's popular,
because even being willing tolook is threatening.
The ego knows it fears exposurewill lead to punishment.
It doesn't recognize the egodoesn't recognize that you are

(01:10:16):
wholly innocent.
And by the, by the nature ofyour being, not vulnerable to
any of this.
You're totally invulnerable toany of this, but the ego's
thoughts are making youunwilling to look because the

(01:10:38):
ego feels threatened.
You're not anything that can bethreatened.
This is what allows you to lookand it says, because it is the
source of fright.
This will frighten you, meaningunwatched, unconscious thoughts
will frighten you because it'sthe source of fright.
So this is meant to give youcourage to look.

(01:11:02):
The unconscious doesn't justcontain fear.
It is the source of all fear.
We perceive Unconscious,unwatched, really, what we fear.
Out there, this could be loss,betrayal, pain.
It's only a projection ofwhat's unhealed in here in your

(01:11:22):
mind.
It's only a projection Whateveryou're afraid of, whatever
you're afraid of in the world.
Apparently, a tsunami wascoming toward Hawaii.
What was that Today?
Yesterday, a tsunami.
That's a good opportunity rightthere.
Right, it's a projection ofwhat remains unhealed in the

(01:11:44):
mind.
This sentence is a pivotalsentence.
Let's go over it again.
It's short, short but sweet.
Jesus isn't telling us to beafraid of the unconscious here.
He's revealing why fear existsat all.

(01:12:05):
We've buried guilt and kept ithidden, where it's festering and
becoming the basis for thewhole world.
We see, this will frighten you,unconscious, unwatched thoughts
, because it's the source offright.
But here's the miracle what'sseen can be healed.

(01:12:29):
We're not being asked to dwellin this fear.
We're being asked to bring itto the light, so recognizing
that it is the source of fright.
This is the whole reason I feelafraid of anything in this fear
.
We're being asked to bring itto the light, so recognizing
that it is the source of fright.
This is the whole reason I feelafraid of anything in the world
is because I'm burying thesethoughts that say I separated
from God, I'm a treacheroussinner and I'm a murderer and

(01:12:51):
I'm a pervert and I'm afraid ofthat and I'm a pervert and I'm
afraid of that.
Notice when anything triggersfear.
This is the practice here.
Notice when anything triggersfear and ask is this fear really
coming from the world or is itcoming from something I'm not
seeing in me?

(01:13:12):
That's always what's going on.
It's not ever, ever, evercoming from the world.
I gave you an example of just afearful thought as I happened to
see a dog that looked like ascary dog for a second.
It looked ridiculous to me whenthat thought came up
Immediately I go, that has to bea fearful thought in my mind,

(01:13:33):
the world's totally gentle.
I go, that has to be a fearfulthought in my mind, the world's
totally gentle.
And then the dog was so cute.
It just like passed me by.
It's like sniffing the groundright next to me.
Passed me by, no big deal, butit's like there's this image of
a dog and it's funny becausethere's so many dogs around here

(01:13:55):
.
Whenever I'm walking there'sdogs.
They're like barking.
Sometimes they're following mearound.
All of a sudden, one will look acertain way to me or something.
Is this the one that's going tobite me?
And just recognizing that'scoming from unwatched thoughts
within myself and really that'sall it takes.
Is it coming from the world oris it coming from something I'm

(01:14:17):
not seeing in me?
This is how we keep it covered,by imagining there's actually a
threat in the world, there'sactually a cause in the world.
There's actually some dog thatmight bite me in the world.
Right, I had an experiencebefore where a dog bit me,
apparently, and that was deep.
That was definitely deepbecause I knew at that point.
And that was.
That was deep.
That was definitely deep,because I knew at that point and
that was probably I don't knowhow many years ago, it had to be

(01:14:40):
like 2017 or so and uh, I knewright away when that dog bit me
that it was coming from my mind,that it wasn't coming from
outside of myself.
So I just had total.
I was actually on a silent day,on a silent walk, and I didn't
even speak.
I just growled when the dog bitme and I just kept on walking,

(01:15:02):
blood dripping everywhere.
And uh, and the next day, uh,my husband asked me.
I was like, oh yeah, I waswalking down the street and this
little dog just bit me.
He's like what in the world?
People ask me did you go tellthe owner anything?
I'm like no, I didn't go tellthe owner.
Anything Doesn't have anythingto do with the owner of the dog.

(01:15:22):
It was a little tiny thing.
It came from my mind.
I'm not.
I'm not under any falseillusions.
I know where that thing camefrom, right?
So it ends up.
You know that's, that's a.
That's mind training, rightthere.
That's mind training in action.
It's like I'm not going to gotry to convince the owner that

(01:15:45):
they got a dangerous dog Right.
And one of my friends was likewhat about other people?
Other people?
They got their own thing going.
I'm telling you, the dog is nota dangerous dog.
It's not like that.
It may seem to be like that,but that's not the truth.
It's far from the truth.
I never heard about that dogbiting anyone else, by the way.

(01:16:09):
So when you perceive somethingthat seems to be dangerous in
the world or a threat in theworld, let that be a moment
where you just join with thespirit in curiosity, not to
condemn that thing.
See the idea, the example Igave you.
I'm not condemning the dog.
I'm not condemning the ownerfor not having their dog on a
leash or whatever the ideas thatare normally projected.

(01:16:32):
I'm not condemning.
I'm joining with the spirit incuriosity.
I'm not analyzing myself,nothing like that.
I'm not condemning.
I'm joining with the spirit incuriosity.
I'm not analyzing myself,nothing like that.
I'm just joining with thespirit in curiosity.
Right?
What is it that I'm not seeingin me that's making like there's
a threat outside of myself andI need a bite?
I need a dog to bite me, right?

(01:16:55):
It's a different way of lookingat things.
It trains your mind.
It doesn't make me open to moredanger.
If anything.
It's less dangerous because wemake more danger in the world by
projecting condemnation, likeif I went to I'm going to tell
that owner that there are thisand that and this and that that

(01:17:18):
stuff could occur.
It's fine, um, but my mind justdidn't go there.
It's not, it wasn't necessaryCause I was just in curiosity.
I was having a silent day too.
Oh, projecting something thatmakes a dog bite me, apparently.
So the unconscious is reallyunconscious, equals unwatched.

(01:17:39):
Remember that when fearoriginates, that's where fear,
guilt, threat originate.
It's not coming from the world.
No one's guilty in the worldfor the dog having bitten me,
for instance.
All external fear, all fearfulthings are projected from hidden
guilt.
That's the only thing that'scausing them.

(01:17:59):
So you know this.
This applies to anything.
Um, like, for instance, you're,you're on tech support and you
have to ask twice for the samething.
Maybe they go oh yeah, it'sresolved.
Now you go, look back, it's notresolved.

(01:18:20):
Okay, I gotta go back and callthem again.
Notice, it's your unconsciousthoughts that are making it.
There's nothing wrong with thatcompany.
No one needs to be scolded.
It's your unconscious thoughts.
You're bringing them to thelight in this way.
So you know, you're showingthat your unconscious thoughts

(01:18:41):
you're training your mind to seeyour unconscious thoughts are
not something to dread.
So welcome them in trust.
See when you're trusting you'rejust allowing something to
dread.
So welcome them and trust.
See when you're trusting you'rejust allowing them to arise, so
you can see what you're usingto cast this world.
You guys are awesome.
I don't see anyone havingquestions either, so we'll keep

(01:19:05):
on going.
Sentence five we're still onparagraph one of section 11 of
chapter two.
You may look at it as a newtheory of basic conflict if you
wish, which will not be entirelyan intellectual approach,

(01:19:30):
because I doubt if the truthwill escape you entirely.
Okay, let's dive into this.
This is a longer sentence thanwhat we've been having.
You may look at it as a newtheory of basic conflict if you
wish.
So Jesus is basically meetingus where we are.
If it helps to understand theunwatched mind using

(01:19:55):
psychological terms like Freud'sor Horny's basic conflict
models.
We're going to get into this ina minute because we got a
footnote.
Good thing, we got a half hourleft.
We got a footnote to go into onthis.
So Freud's or horny that'sspelled H-O-R-N-E-Y basic
conflict models.

(01:20:15):
He's giving permission.
He's also subtly saying thisgoes deeper than psychology.
He's meeting us where we are.
He's saying this goes deeperthan psychology.
So you may look at it.
You may look at this as a newtheory of basic conflict, if you
wish.

(01:20:35):
The real conflict isn't betweenthe ID and superego that Freud
talks about, or opposingstrategies which are horny.
That's that person's research.
I don't know if that's male orfemale, by the way, I don't, I'm
not that familiar with thatperson.
It's between the truth and theego's attempt to hide from the

(01:20:55):
truth.
So the real conflict, he'ssaying, isn't between what Freud
is putting out, the ID andsuper ego, or opposing
strategies uhies is talkingabout.
It's between the truth and theego's attempt to hide from the
truth.
That's why he's saying this isyou can look at this as a new

(01:21:16):
theory of basic conflict.
The new theory is the conflictis between the truth and the
ego's attempt to hide from thetruth.
So the basic conflict is I wantto wake up, but I'm afraid of
what I've hidden in my mind.
That's the basic conflict thatJesus is talking about.
So he's saying that this newtheory of basic conflict, it

(01:21:44):
will not be entirely anintellectual approach.
It will not be entirely anintellectual approach.
So this won't stay theoreticalfor you for long.
You can look at it, he's sayingyou can look at it as a new
theoretical approach to conflict, but it won't stay theoretical
for you for long.
You might start by analyzing,but the truth soon is going to

(01:22:09):
touch your being, not just yourbrain.
Okay, this theory is going toactivate emotion, memory,
projection and ultimately,transformation.
It's going to ask somethingfrom you, that's going to ask
something of you, okay.
So let's, let's go over thosetwo parts again.

(01:22:30):
You may look at it.
What is it being?
Okay, let's go to the last, thelast one.
That's the unconscious,unwatched thoughts.
So you may look at this whatJesus is talking about as a new
theory of basic conflict, whichwill not be entirely an

(01:22:51):
intellectual approach.
So the new theory of basicconflict is I want to wake up,
but I'm afraid of what I'vehidden in my mind.
Okay, and then it goes on tosay, which will not be entirely
an intellectual approach.
And then Jesus says because Idoubt if the truth will escape

(01:23:14):
you entirely.
So this is a loving nudge fromJesus.
He knows your defenses arestrong, he knows it.
You've erected these defenseswith the ego and he's gently
helping you be released of thesedefenses.
Okay, and he said but he'ssaying that the he's saying that

(01:23:36):
the pull of truth is strongerthan your defenses.
That's why he's saying I doubtif the truth will escape you
entirely.
He's.
That's why he's saying go ahead, regard this as a new theory of
conflict, basic conflict, ifyou wish, because the pull of
truth is stronger than yourdefenses, even though they're

(01:23:58):
very strong.
You've already invited him in.
If you're here and you'relistening to this, you have
invited Jesus in.
Okay, you want to wake up.
You want to wake up.
If you're listening to this,you have invited Jesus in.
Okay, you want to wake up.
You want to wake up.
If you're listening to this,I've had people come here for
one session and saying that'senough, I'm not doing this in
this lifetime.
Well, guess what?
The seeds are already planted.

(01:24:20):
You're pretty much fucked inthat regard.
The awakening is going down.
That's what's happening here.
Oh, I love you guys, so youwant to wake up.
If you're here with me and Jesusis reminding me, reminding me

(01:24:40):
and you and all of us, you willnot be able to ignore the truth
for very much longer, and that's.
That's the way it works.
The pull of truth is just sostrong.
If you're finding yourself here, if you're finding yourself
listening to this right now,you're done, for basically,
You're not going to be able toignore the truth very much
longer.

(01:25:03):
So, in practice, for thisparticular sentence, you may
look at it as a new theory ofbasic conflict, if you wish,
which will not be entirely anintellectual approach, because I
doubt if the truth will escapeyou entirely.
So, in practice, if you noticeyourself trying to think your
way through A Course in Miracles, take a pause.

(01:25:25):
Let these words touch youbeyond logic.
Let them touch you.
Be willing to feel what's beinguncovered, you know.
Let it go back to being easeful.
Again, this is easeful, it'smeant to be.
The ego is the opposite of that.
The ego is making everythinghard.
Jesus is totally with you, withyour willingness to feel into

(01:25:49):
what's being uncovered.
Here.
Jesus allows psychologicalmetaphors, but he's leading us
deeper.
The psychological metaphors arekind of like cerebral right.
They're like tickling your mind, tickling your brain, but he's
leading us deeper.
So the basic conflict is themind's resistance to the truth,

(01:26:13):
not the ID versus a superegowhich Freud put out there.
We're going to get into that alittle bit more.
Truth is not just theoretical.
It will reach you on a verypersonal level.
There's no way you canultimately resist the awakening,
because the truth is in you,the truth is you.

(01:26:33):
Its pull is way stronger thanyour resistance, way stronger.
So this particular sentencethat we just read has a footnote
, and the footnote is footnote128.
Thank you, okay, I'm back.

(01:27:54):
I don't know if I'm stillstreaming.
Let me see.
Ah, it looks like I am.
I don't know.
The internet went out for asecond there.
Now I'm hot spotting on myphone.
That should work Somehow.
The internet seems to be spottyaround here.
I actually moved over to thisplace thinking the internet

(01:28:17):
wouldn't be spotty, but hey,it's meant to be.
It's my unconscious mind,unwatched thoughts, projecting
internet.
That doesn't work.
Isn't that so fun.
If you guys can see me still andyou guys can hear me on
Substack, just send me a message.
Just write me a message.
Someone, write me a message.

(01:28:37):
I think I'm with you guys onZoom here.
Let me see if I can see mypeople here.
Oh, everything changed.
Everything moved around.
Okay, if you guys can see me onzoom, just send me a someone,
send me a chat.
Let me know if you guys can seethis.
It looks like I'm recordinganyway, so I'll have it for the

(01:29:00):
recording that we'll post later.
If you guys aren't on, no one'swriting me anything, so I mean
I'm just recording for myself.
I'll get it on there later,it's okay.
Okay, so back to footnote 128,.
The basic conflict is a termemphasized by Neo Freudian,
karen Horny, who saw it as theconflict between the opposed

(01:29:23):
strategies of moving towardcompliance, which is compliance,
moving toward moving against,which is aggression, and moving
away from, which is detachment.
The basic conflict, in Freudianthought at least, as identified
by comments later in thissection, is between the
hedonistic ID, or the id I thinkhe calls it the id and the

(01:29:46):
moralistic superego, a conflictmediated by the Freudian ego.
The final part of this sentenceis using intellectual approach
to describe something you regardas abstractly true, without
considering it that it may bepersonally true of you.
Oh, yay, aloha, sarah, thankyou for letting me know.

(01:30:12):
You guys can see me at least onzoom.
You guys are still with me.
I'm not sure if the if it'srunning.
Let me see if I look at thelive stream.
No, I got a live stream going.
Okay, cool, we're back yeah,internet, what fun, okay, so.
So this footnote iscontextualizing Jesus's use of

(01:30:37):
the phrase basic conflict.
That's why he's saying in the,in the last sentence, that you
can regard this or you you maylook at this as a new theory of
basic conflict.
So he's talking about the oldertheories of basic conflict.
He's referencing these twopsychological frameworks.
One of them is Karen Horney'smodel.

(01:30:58):
She identified the basicconflict as internal tension
between three survivalstrategies moving toward others,
that's compliance and peoplepleasing.
Moving against others, that'saggression and domination.
And moving away from others,which is detachment and
withdrawal.
These are all attempts tomanage fear, guilt and the need

(01:31:20):
for love.
Okay, especially in childhood.
Jesus may be alluding to thismodel as a symbolic parallel to
how we manage our fear of thetruth.
So he's giving us a new model.
He's saying this is the modelwe've been taught.
And he's giving us this newmodel.
So then he's talking aboutFreud's model too, and that's

(01:31:41):
the id.
The id, instinctual drives,often selfish or bad, according
to Freud.
The superego, which ismoralistic, guilt-inducing
conscience, and with the egoacting as a mediator trying to
maintain sanity.
So Jesus is gently saying to usyou can use these frameworks if

(01:32:02):
they help, but don't stop there.
They're incomplete without thespiritual context of A Course in
Miracles.
Okay, he's saying it's okay touse those if they seem helpful,
but they're not the ultimate.
You want to frame them in thespiritual context of A Course in

(01:32:24):
Miracles here.
So the final line, usingintellectual approach, let's go
back to that line.
So it says.
The final part of this sentenceis using this is from the
footnote intellectual approachto describe something you regard

(01:32:45):
as abstractly true withoutconsidering it may be personally
true to you.
So Jesus warns thatunderstanding something
intellectually is not the sameas letting it change you.
You might recognize the conceptof basic conflict as
interesting or valid in theory,but that's still keeping it as a

(01:33:09):
distance.
And his line where he saysbecause I doubt if the truth
will escape you entirely, it'simplying that you're on the
verge of realizing that thisisn't just the theory.
This is about you.
This isn't just the theory.
So the bottom line is Jesus isjust using familiar

(01:33:30):
psychological language to meetus where we are.
He's pointing us beyond it,though.
He's saying the real basicconflict is not between these
inner drives that are talkedabout by Freud and Horny, it's
between your desire to awaken.
This is what the basic conflictis your desire to awaken and

(01:33:51):
your fear of what's in yourunwatched mind.
And he's saying even if you tryto stay in your head about it,
the truth is going to find a wayin so you can relax.
So it's like you're looking atthis, you're using this to to
learn to see, but also to relaxin it, because the truth is
going to get you one way or theother.

(01:34:14):
And if you're finding yourselflistening to this right now,
you're done, for basically,you're, you're on your way.
You know some of you might belike I'm not doing this in this
lifetime.
This is, you know.
This is what I heard fromsomeone who joined me a week or
two ago.
I'm not sure I'm not doing.
No, you know, what you madeclear to me is I'm not fucking
doing this.

(01:34:34):
Thanks for making it so clear.
Right, yeah, you're welcome.
You may think you're not doingit, but it's.
You know, just just that youfound yourself there, just that
you were listening.
It's over.
Maybe not in this lifetime, butthat's the seed that gets
planted and it justautomatically grows because you

(01:34:56):
want it.
You don't find yourself here byaccident.
You don't find yourselflistening by accident.
All right, let's go on to thenext sentence.
Doesn't look like you guys haveany questions and it looks like
there's 12 minutes left.
What fun.
See my document here.

(01:35:17):
Ooh, paragraph two.
We made it to paragraph two ofsection 11.
We're getting to the thirdparagraph.
I don't think we're going toget all the way through it, but
we'll get to at least a couplesentences of it and have some
fun with those sentences.
So, paragraph two, sentence onethe unwatched mind is
responsible for the wholecontent of the unconscious,

(01:35:40):
which lies above the miraclelevel.
Oh, this is fun.
This is fun, okay.
So we're going to get into thisa little bit.
We're probably just going toget to this sentence.
That's it, the unwatched mind.
Okay, so Jesus is.
Jesus here is shifting ourfocus to what we are not looking
at.
The unwatched mind.

(01:36:01):
It's not inactive.
It's creating all the time.
Actually, it's making shit upall the time.
It's creating or making shit up, but when we don't consciously,
actually it's making shit upall the time.
It's creating or making shit up, but when we don't consciously
observe it, it operates withoutcorrection from the Holy Spirit.
We want our unconscious mind,our unwatched mind, to be
watched, so it operates withcorrection from the Holy Spirit.

(01:36:23):
It's okay.
This is not about neglecting it.
It's the opposite of that.
When the mind is notdeliberately trained, it becomes
a.
Not about neglecting it, it'sthe opposite of that.
When the mind is notdeliberately trained, it becomes
a source of miscreation.
That's the thing.
So the unwatched mind isresponsible for the whole
content of the unconscious.
So the course is flipping.
Traditional psychology here,freud, framed the unconscious as

(01:36:46):
a deep reservoir of hiddendrives and trauma.
But Jesus is saying yourunconscious isn't buried because
it's inaccessible.
It's unconscious because you'vesimply failed to watch it.
Okay, so the way Freud isframing it is like we're all
screwed because these are hidden.
We're never going to get tothem, it's just going to keep on

(01:37:08):
doing this.
You know, I can imagine beingFreud and being like oh God, you
know the things that he saw.
It's like this sucks, lifesucks, we're all screwed.
Right, it might seem like itmight masquerade, like it's some
kind of compassion, you know,because it's like we're all
fucked.
Unconscious mind is doing itall.

(01:37:35):
Right.
It's kind of.
It kind of reminds me of whatwhat people when people say yeah
, I'm just a weak, miserablesinner.
Good thing, god loves me andI'm blessed.
So you know everything in thereit's still yours.
You put it there, god didn'tput it there.

(01:37:55):
It's miscreation.
It's really not a mystery.
You hear people say it's miss,it's a mystery.
It's not a mystery, it's not amystery at all.
Once you're, once you're awareof it, of what's going on,
you're like this is this shitisn't mysterious.
I made it it up, I'mmiscreating, easy.
Okay, now here's the fun part,which lies above the miracle
level.
Okay, this is critical line.

(01:38:16):
Actually, jesus is introducinghere a vertical hierarchy.
The unwatched mind holdsmiscreations, false belief, ego
strategies, guilt, fear.
These distortions sit above themiracle level.
Okay, for those of you who arewatching, just to give you like
a little diagram here, I'm goingto use my hands to show you.

(01:38:37):
Okay, it's like here's themiracle level, right on the
bottom.
Okay, here's the miracle level.
Here's the unconscious mind.
It's got all these thoughtseverywhere, miracle level.
In case you're listening,that's the bottom, right above
that unconscious mind, ashitload of thoughts that you
don't want to see.
Okay, the miracle level isbeneath this unconscious concept

(01:38:59):
, this unconscious content,because it's deeper and it's
closer to the truth.
It's closer to the truth.
That's why he's saying that.
He's saying it like this.
It's sits above the miraclelevel.
Okay, it's above the mirror.
Let's look at the wholesentence again.
The unwatched mind isresponsible for the whole

(01:39:22):
content of the unconscious,which lies above the miracle
level.
Okay, we'll get into why he'ssaying it like this.
The unwatched mind is holdingall these miscorrect, mis
miscreations, false beliefs, allthat stuff.
The miracle level is beneathall that content because it's

(01:39:44):
deeper and actually closer tothe truth.
Okay, that's why he's saying itlike this.
So to access miracles, you gotto go past the layer of
unconscious projection anddefense.
You have to be actually bewilling to go into it.
You go down and that's that'ssome of the meditation, the
meditations that happen in acourse in miracles.

(01:40:04):
You know you're asked to sinkdown beneath Well, you know it
takes courage to think, sinkdown beneath them because
they're like fighting.
They're fighting each other,they're contradicting each other
and everything like that todown to the miracle level.
So, in practice, you're justwatching your mind with gentle
awareness.
You're not afraid of yourunconscious, you're not being

(01:40:27):
afraid of these.
You know, jesus is gentlygiving you a warning here and
I've given you, you know, like asense of hey, these are
murderous, perverted thoughts inhere.
Don't be afraid of them, itdoesn't touch you.
Actually, you want to get tothe miracle level which is
actually beneath them.
Don't be afraid of yourunconscious.
It's you know.

(01:40:48):
It's only unconscious becauseyou haven't looked at it.
Remember, unconscious isunwatched.
Trust that the miracles arewaiting for you below all that
noise.
You don't need to fix any ofthe content in there, you're
just willing to see them andbring them to the spirit.
Look, with the spirit, theunwatched mind creates all the

(01:41:08):
content you perceive, everythingwe're calling unconscious.
Unconscious is what'sprojecting everything you
perceive in the world.
This content isn't buried, it'sreally just unexamined, it's
really just unwatched.
The miracle level is beneathall these distortions and it's

(01:41:29):
ready to heal as soon as you'rewilling to look.
That's all it really is.
You're willing to look.
Okay, this is the key.
So we got time for thisfootnote, footnote 129.
Footnote, footnote 129.
See if I got this text rightfor the footnote.

(01:41:51):
Yeah, footnote 129.
The unwatched mind, then, isnot responsible for the content
of the miracle level of theunconscious, but only that which
is above the miracle level.
Okay, so this unwatched mind,it's, it's, it's, uh, it's the
one.
It's what's projecting thewhole world that you perceive.

(01:42:13):
Okay, the footnote is refininga sub subtle but important point
of paragraph two, sentence onewhich we just went over the
unconscious has levels.
The miracle level is a holyhealing level that lies beneath
all the ego distortions.

(01:42:34):
The unwatched mind being themind that's not aligned with
spirit, cannot generate orcorrupt the miracle level.
It can only fill the upperlevels with unconscious and
egoic static, basically fear,guilt, miscreation.

(01:42:54):
It makes you afraid to sinkdeeper into the miracle stratum.
Let's say so.
Jesus is drawing a distinctionhere between egoic or
unconscious content and themiracle ready part of your mind.
The ego is populating thesurface, unconscious, the above

(01:43:15):
zone, with which, withmiscreations.
So it's like you have theconscious which is right on the
surface, that's on the top, toplayer, unconscious, meaning
unwatched, which is for most ofus huge layer, and then the
miracles from the deepest layer.
When the ego has no access tothe miracle layer, it cannot

(01:43:38):
contaminate it at all.
So the takeaway on this is evenin your unawareness there's a
place in you that's alreadyaligned with the truth, that
deep place that's never touched.
It's always aligned with thetruth.
Everyone's got this.
The miracle level is totallyuntouched by your mistaken

(01:43:58):
beliefs.
It's totally untouched by yourapparent mistakes in the world.
You don't make any mistakes inthe world, by the way, because
they're all a perfect reflectionof thoughts that are unwatched.
That's what they are, sothey're not really mistakes.
That's why there's nothing tobe sorry for.
That's why everything you doand everything you say is a

(01:44:19):
hundred percent helpful all thetime, because it's reflecting
your state of mind and that'swhat you need to see.
Okay, so don't fear thecontents of your unconscious.
They're not your truth.
Remember that beneath all thatconfusion, there's a miracle
waiting and your function hereis not to fight with your

(01:44:39):
unconscious, it's just watchingit.
You're watching.
Unconscious means unwatched.
Again, you're watching it andyou're just inviting correction.
So that concludes our A Coursein Miracles deep dive for today.
And where we ended was at thefootnote, after sentence two or

(01:45:02):
sentence one of paragraph two insection 11, the basic conflict.
The section 11 is called thebasic conflict and I don't know
about you guys, but I'm superexcited to dive deeper into this
.

conflict is and how to seethrough this basic conflict too.
