Speaker 1 (00:06):
All right, aloha and welcome to ACIM Deep Dive with
Hope Johnson.
Today we're going into Chapter2, section 11, and we're
starting with Par two, sentencetwo, but first we're going to

(00:30):
start with a little bit ofsilence and prayer.
Ah, thank you, jesus, forjoining with us in this meeting
where we uncover your deepmeaning behind the words, in A

(00:51):
Course in Miracles, through thelens of separation, through the
lens of guilt, and show us thatour mind is holy and whole and

(01:12):
always lovable and alwaysperfectly capable of performing
miracles.
Thank you for being with us inour minds always, and thank you
to all of our brothers joiningus today, and all of our
brothers everywhere, for theirholiness, for their gentle
support, for their gentleness,for their loveliness.

(01:33):
Thank you.
As we join today, we know we'regoing to reap the greatest
gifts possible because of ourwillingness.
Yay, let's begin.
So if you're with me on Zoom,you can always type in a message
in the chat, you can raise yourhand.

(01:55):
If you're with me on Substack,I'm watching you, aloha, I'm
watching you.
So I'll come back and look andsee if you have any comments, if
you want to ask any questions.
So we're in the complete andannotated edition of A Course in
Miracles.
That's the purple volume.
It's from 2021.

(02:17):
It was updated with all of thenotes.
It's not a new edition.
It's the same edition but it'scomplete.
It has all the notes thatweren't included in the
originally published edition.
It's the same edition but it'scomplete.
It has all the notes thatweren't included in the
originally published edition.
And we are on page 95.
We're starting with sentencetwo of the second paragraph.

(02:38):
So I'll just revisit the firstparagraph though, just so you
guys remember, or for people whoare just joining, they'll get
an idea of where we are.
The whole section is called theBasic Conflict.
Okay, so paragraph two,sentence one the unwatched mind

(03:04):
is responsible for the wholecontent of the unconscious,
which lies above the miraclelevel.
So we're still looking at theunconscious, which is basically
there because it's unwatched.
It continues to persist becauseit's unwatched, because there's

(03:26):
fear of seeing what's there dueto false identity.
So we start with sentence two.
All psychoanalytic theoristshave made some contribution to
the truth in this connection.

(03:46):
This connection, what he'sreferring to, is that the
unwatched mind is responsiblefor the whole content of the
unconscious.
Okay, all psychoanalytictheorists have made some
contribution to the truth inthis connection, but none of
them has seen it in its trueentirety.

(04:07):
So maybe today we're going tosee it in its true entirety.
This is so exciting.
With Jesus's help and ourwillingness, maybe today's the
day.
So let's go to my notes on thissentence.

(04:29):
So jesus is clarifying andacknowledging that the
psychoanalytic, psycho,psychological theories okay,
especially the ones of hementioned Freud, jung's and
Horny I don't know if I'mpronouncing that right, that's

(04:49):
how it's spelled H-O-R-N-E-Yhave glimpsed the dynamics of
the unconscious and the role offear, repression and projection.
So they've, all these theoristshave all seen what's going on
with the unconscious and therole of fear there, and how
we're repressing the fear andhow we're projecting.

(05:12):
But what Jesus is saying istheir insights are only partial.
They're stopping short ofrecognizing the mind's full
power, and that's what needs tobe recognized the mind's full
power to choose a miracle ormiscreation.
Because that's what we're doingall the time.

(05:34):
We're just choosing miracle ormiscreation.
So they're identifying thesymptoms of guilt and fear in
these defensive mechanisms.
But they've never uncoveredwhat these theorists didn't do

(06:00):
is they never uncovered the realroot, which is the original
belief in separation from God.
That's the real root of allthese things that they're seeing
, that they're noticing the fear, the guilt, the defense
mechanisms, right, but they'renot really seeing what the root
of it is.
So what's happening is they'reall kind of resigning to oh,
that's the way we're wired, forinstance, we're just wired this

(06:21):
way, as if we can't help it, asif we're not just projecting
this thing and making a choicefrom an all-powerful mind.
Okay, so why is it not true andis it in its entirety?

(06:42):
That's what Jesus is saying inthis sentence.
The sentence is allpsychoanalytic theorists have
made some contribution to thetruth in this connection, but
none of them has seen it in itstrue entirety.
So they're assuming that theunconscious is full of

(07:04):
autonomous drives or traumasfrom personal history.
See, this is the assumption.
This is so common If you justlook.
This is a worldly idea.
Okay, it's because of this,it's because of how I was
programmed, it's because of howthe world programmed me, for
instance, a personal history.

(07:25):
It's because of my childhood.
Okay, I think we all do this.
This is the ego's game.
So this is how we're not seeingthat the entire ego system is
actually a defense against thetruth.
It's totally built on a beliefof sin, guilt and fear.

(07:48):
That's how it's built.
It's not as if these things inour unconscious are autonomous,
like they could just workagainst us without our choice.
You know, this is bringing backthe power of the mind, the
mind's ability to choose itsexperience always.

(08:12):
So it's only through the HolySpirit's interpretation that
those contents of theunconscious can be totally
healed, not just analyzed.
Now, jesus isn't saying thatanalyzing them is a bad thing.
He wants us to see what theseunconscious drives are, but to

(08:38):
also undo them, not to justresign to them like oh well,
that's just the way it is.
To just resign to them like ohwell, that's just the way it is.
So in practice it would looklike being grateful for these
tools that help bringunconscious patterns to light.
I mean for myself, from myexperience, a tool like that
lately has been sacred geometry,right a, it's an illusion, it's

(09:03):
in the illusion.
The ego made sacred geometry.
The ego made that it's afterthe sense of separation where
you need these polarities, the xand y axis.
Uh, for instance, he's sayingbe grateful for the help in
bringing these unconsciouspatterns to light.

(09:25):
You know that architect AIwould say and man, this
resonates with me so much thatreally the way out is being
aware of the patterns.
If you're unaware of thepatterns, you're not able to
undo them.
You got to be aware of thepattern.
So that's what these things do,you know, these psychoanalytic

(09:48):
tools.
That's what they do.
They make us aware of thepatterns.
But we don't stop there and justresign to it, like that's just
the way it is.
It's so that we can actuallyundo them.
So it's letting the purpose ofthis shift from just
intellectual insight oh, that'sso interesting, you know to

(10:09):
miracle mindedness.
So we just ask ourself.
If we're not sure, just ask,you know, ask ourself am I using
this to understand the dream orto awaken from it?
What do I want?
What do I want to get out of itor to awaken from it?
What do I want, what do I wantto get out of it?
And you know, if you look atcommon spirituality, it's all

(10:30):
geared toward what I'm going toget out of it, like how do I get
something, how do I get moremoney?
How do I get a betterrelationship?
See, that's totally different.
That's working with the ego totry to understand the dream and
benefit from it.
So what Jesus is saying here isdon't stop with recognizing the

(10:53):
patterns, use this awareness toawaken from the dream to
recognize that these patternsare not something that I would
keep playing out.
I'm not going to keep playingthis pattern out, right?
In my case, what I saw was apattern of a hypervigilant

(11:14):
masculine right, someone who'strying to hold everything
together and make sure everyonearound me is okay, and
everything like that.
And it's like I didn't just seethat and resign to oh, I guess
that's just the way I am.
I saw it and I got a hugerelief.
It's like, oh, I don't have toplay that pattern anymore.
Thank goodness, I can see thatpattern, I don't have to hold

(11:36):
like that anymore.
Right, basically, that's all itis, and being grateful for
these tools that were given tosee them.
So that was the second sentenceof the second paragraph and

(12:00):
that's all there was in thesecond paragraph two sentences,
so we're going on to paragraphthree.
Jung's best contribution was anawareness of individual versus
collective unconscious levels.
Okay, so Jesus is saying thatthis is his most valuable

(12:25):
insight the distinction betweenthese two layers of the
unconscious Individualunconscious, which is basically
personal memories, traumas,repressed material unique to
someone's life, and collectiveunconscious, is like a psychic

(12:47):
inheritance across all humanity,including symbols and archetype
symbols and archetypes.
That's collective unconscious.
Okay, uh, so the meaning hereis saying there's a deeper
strata, stratum of mind thatconnects all of us, the
collective, collectiveunconscious.

(13:08):
Okay, and see, jung is sayingthat the collective unconscious
is a shared psychic inheritance,and that's where Jesus is
making a correction.
The collective unconscious isnot a shared psychic inheritance
.
Psychic inheritance in this wayof saying it is including

(13:38):
symbols and archetypes.
So there's a deeper sharedroots of misperception and
projection.
A unified source of dreamcontent is what Jung is putting
forth, rather than separate,isolated psyches.
So what Jesus is saying is thatJung's insight is moving closer

(14:01):
to A Course in Miracles thanmany other psychological models,
because ACIM teaches that themind isn't personal but it's
shared.
That's like a core teaching themind is not personal, it's a
shared mind.
So he's saying that Jung gotthat right.
He's making a distinctionbetween this personal

(14:25):
consciousness that has your ownmemories of your own life and
all that kind of stuff and then,and your personality and those
things.
And the ego is a collectivethought system, not just an
individual malfunction.
So healing in that case is alsocollective, because what's

(14:45):
undone in one mind, like when wejust undo one misperception,
one miscreation it blesses allthe mind.
So, however, what Jesus issaying is that Jung didn't go
all the way.
He still treated thisunconscious content, like

(15:09):
archetypes and symbols and thatkind of stuff, as something real
.
And what A Course in Miracles issaying?
What Jesus, through A Course inMiracles, is saying is that all
of that material is illusion,it's miscreation.
It really needs to be forgiven,not studied.

(15:30):
So basically, you only look atit to see it, so that it could
be undone.
You recognize it so it could beundone.
So this brings to mind somethinglike human design, right, and
that's why I find myself goingthrough these things really fast
.
You know, I once got interestedin human design and I was

(15:53):
probably interested in it forabout a week, because it's
showing you how everyone'squote-unquote wired and how
there's these different, prettymuch like archetypes.
They call them human design.
I had names for them and I readthe whole book.
I looked at all the stuff.
I just took in all theinformation really fast and the

(16:16):
outcome was compassion Becauseit's just noticing wow,
everyone's going through thisstuff.
Everyone's going through theirmisperceptions, their
miscreations.
You know it wasn't something tolike keep on studying and maybe
make a career out of it andtell other people this is how
you are and stuff like that,because this is not how we are,

(16:40):
it's how we're imaginingourselves to be.
That's very different.
It's how we're imaginingourselves to be.
That's very different.
When we see how we're imaginingourselves to be and how we're
projecting ourselves out in thefield, that's when it can be
forgiven.
So basically, in practice, ifany patterns feel deeply rooted,

(17:03):
it's like they're not reallyyours, they're ego patterns.
It may reflect a shared mind,but your willingness blesses the
whole sonship.
So we invite the Holy Spirit into reinterpret all this
unconscious material, not justpersonal but the collective.

(17:27):
So one thing that Jung is doingand I dove even deeper onto this
, I went onto this for a littlewhile because I was kind of like
, what is he saying?
What Jung is doing is sayingthat these unconscious
archetypes are shared.
Archetypes are shared.

(17:51):
They are not shared becausewe're only really.
The only part of the mindthat's shared is the real part.
What's real, what's real is ourability to make miracles.
What's real is that we'rewholly loving, that we're still
in God, the Holy Spirit's voicein it.
That's shared.
But these archetypes and thesethought patterns, these are not

(18:16):
shared.
It's a lonely dream.
Each of us is on a lonelyjourney in thought, projecting a
unique world for ourselves, andthese things are not shared,
even though they're so common.
There are certain things thatare really common across people,

(18:37):
across different people, likecertain archetypes and stuff
like that.
Even though they're so common,they're still projected.
That's different than shared.
Okay, this projected illusions,that's not shared.
Okay, another thing about Jungor Jung, actually Jung, I looked

(19:03):
it up.
I've been saying Jung becauseit's spelled J-U-N-G Kind of
confusing.
So sentence one Jung's bestcontribution was an awareness of
individual versus collectiveunconscious level.
So the individual unconsciouslevel, that's the lonely dream.

(19:25):
The collective unconsciouslevel where we're one, where
it's shared.
That does not include all thisstupidity, the miscreations, the
fear, the guilt, all of that.
That is the stuff that we'reprojecting in a very lonely way.

(19:48):
So that's why joining is sopowerful, because when we're
joining, we're actuallyaccessing the shared mind, and
that's what we're doing righthere and we're studying A Course
in Miracles.
We're joining together, we'reaccessing the part of the mind
that's actually shared, the realpart of the mind.
Okay, let's see if you guyshave any questions.

(20:12):
You're looking good.
I love you.
Thank you for being here andlet's go on to the next sentence
.
All right.
Sentence two of paragraph three.
Sentence 2 of paragraph 3.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
He, meaning Jung also recognized the major place of
the religious spirit in hisschema.
So what's that?
I have a question, because itsays you say that the only thing
that we share is the real, thatis, the love of God, and it's
like the alignment.
But in a way, what you saidabout sharing the collective
unconsciousness, it is like lasttime I was thinking about the

(20:54):
ego, like how it comes, and thearchetype says that it's just
flowing through the field andsometimes it resonates with
another person.
So it's actually the sameschema, the same resonance that
you come with and some people inthe collective are going
through the same.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yes, there are people going through the same thing,
right, it's just that it'slonely because it's projected.
So when we project something,it's kind of like tempting
someone or inviting them toagree with you, and it may
trigger another aspect ofthemselves too.
You know, that's how we'retriggering each other, so we're

(21:34):
having effects on one another.
But what Jesus is saying isthat part isn't shared, and the
reason he's telling us it's notshared because shared makes it
real and we can only sharewhat's real.
So it really, you know, itlooks shared and that's why
these very intelligent theorists, all of them, all three of them
that he's mentioning, arethinking that you know, this is
shared.
Yeah, thank you for yourquestion.

(21:58):
I love it and I love you.
So a sentence to you.
He also recognized the majorplace of the religious spirit in
his schema.
So Jesus is acknowledging thatJung gave serious attention to
the religious spirit, somethingthat most psychologists avoid or

(22:20):
minimize, including the one whochanneled A Course in Miracles.
She was an atheist, okay, andso he gave attention to the
religious spirit.
He didn't reduce all religiousexperience to pathology, which
is what Freud did.
It was called pathology.

(22:41):
Yeah, he saw.
Jung saw that spiritualyearning as a central and
necessary aspect of humanwholeness.
So he saw that this was a goodthing that we have this
spiritual yearning.
So in Jung's system thereligious impulse was pointing

(23:03):
toward integration of the psycheand it's what he called Jung,
called individuation.
But from Jesus's perspectivethis is still only partially
true.
So Jung saw that religiousimpulse as part of the self's

(23:25):
development.
And what Jesus says is that asa memory of God, it's really a
memory of God calling the mindto wake up entirely from the
dream.
So this is where Jung's gettingit wrong.
What Jesus is saying verygently, you know he's so loving
about it wrong, what Jesus issaying very gently, you know

(23:46):
he's so loving about it.
Basically, jung was looking atspiritual impulse as something
to develop the self.
Right, that's a small letterself.
That's not the self that Godcreated, that's the self in the
dream.
What Jesus is saying is thatreligious impulse it's a memory
of God.
It's calling the mind to wakeup entirely from its dreaming,

(24:10):
not to evolve into somethingwithin it.
That's the difference.
So the religious spirit thatJung identifies, it's reflecting
the Holy Spirit's call.
It's a signal that there'ssomething real to be remembered
in the dream.
But Jesus would say don't makea system out of it.
Just follow the guidance of theHoly Spirit to undo everything

(24:35):
altogether.
That's where A Course inMiracles makes this very simple.
We could just follow theguidance of the Holy Spirit and
undo the dream entirely.
So notice where you feel calledtoward God, like this, yearning

(24:56):
toward God, this desire, thisis the desire that God put in
your mind.
It's not a weakness, it's not afantasy.
It's actually the voice for Godwithin.
You can say as desire goes.
It's the true, true desire,because you're really one with
God and you're believingyourself to be separate.
So that's really only your onlytrue desire.

(25:20):
All desire for anything in theworld, those are what are
weakness and fantasy.
All desire for anything in theworld, those are what are
weakness and fantasy, not thedesire for God.
So let that religious spirit bepurified of the ego concepts.

(25:40):
Let it be a bridge to yourawakening, not just another
concept to identity.
You know, developing some kindof spiritual identity about it.
All right, you guys are awesome, thank you.
So it looks like that's prettywell taken care of.

(26:01):
He also recognized the majorplace of the religious spirit in
his schema.
Okay, that's clear.
Sentence three of paragraphthree Anyone raise your hand if
anything's not clear.
So we'll stay there and I'lleven go back to it If you go.

(26:21):
Oh wait, she moved on.
If something was unclear before, just raise your hand or send a
little note through.
Whatever you're on, I'mwatching you.
Sentence three His archetypes.
His again is Jung.
His archetypes were alsomeaningful concepts.
Okay, so here's here.

(26:45):
He's acknowledging yung's ideaof architect archetypes, which
are universal patterns orsymbols.
He's saying they're universalpatterns or symbols, shared
across all humanity, which jesusis saying.
They're not really shared, butit has value.
So these archetypes, they'rewise old man, shadow, mother and

(27:07):
hero.
These were seen by Jung aselements of the collective
unconscious that shapeindividual experience.
From Jesus' perspective, thishas some usefulness.
He's saying that these symbolicforms can help recognize
repeating thought patterns.

(27:27):
That's the whole purpose.
That's the whole purpose torecognize these repeating
thought patterns, projectionsand roles in the dream they're
pointing toward, they're they're.
They're pointing toward ashared illusion.
What is the shared illusion?
The shared illusion is thatwe're separate.

(27:49):
All these archetypes and allthat kind of stuff, they're
imagined privately, but it'sstill not individual pathology
because it's a projection of acollective ego structure.
So in that way they're hintingat the dream's universality.

(28:15):
And even though Jung neverreally escaped from the
framework himself, the frameworkof form and meaning within the
world.
What Jesus is saying is this canstill be helpful to us.
He's calling them meaningfulconcepts, he says in the text,
his archetypes were alsomeaningful concepts, not

(28:38):
ultimate truths, but they'rehelpful stepping stones when
rightly interpreted.
And you know, for me thisextends to what I've been
looking at recently, which hasbeen sacred geometry, and it's
like it's.
When that is rightfullyinterpreted, then it's useful
because you know you're using itto see what the patterns are

(29:00):
that are being played.
When you see what the patternsare, you can be released of them
.
That's how you can applyforgiveness.
You can see what the patternsare.
You can be released of them.
That's how you can applyforgiveness.
You can't bring anything toforgiveness that you don't
actually see first.
You got to see it to bring itto forgiveness.
That's why we're manifestingillusions, so we can see these
things and we can undo theguilty self concept that has us
believing that we're separatefrom God, that we ever left

(29:24):
heaven.
We didn't leave heaven in thefirst place.
So Jung's archetypes reveal howthe ego maintains identity
through symbols.
Likewise, sacred geometry isrevealing how the ego maintains
identity through these symbolsof polarities.

(29:47):
Another way that there aresymbols, this is the ego's
framework.
It's good that we could see theego's framework and it's even
better that we're all able to gobeyond it.
It just takes willingness andnot to get stuck there in
analyzing and hyper analyzing,so the Holy Spirit can

(30:12):
reinterpret these samearchetypes and lead the mind
toward undoing, not reinforcing,our identity with them.
It's not like oh, I am thisright, for instance, I'm wired
like this.
When you say I'm wired likesomething, that's wrong, that's

(30:34):
not true.
You're projecting.
That's different.
Saying I'm wired like somethingis saying that you don't have a
choice in it.
You know, bringing the mindback to its wholeness is saying
everything that I perceive, I'mmaking up All powerful.
Mind is what you are, exactlyas God created you.

(30:56):
Still, even though you're usingthe mind, if you're perceiving
in separation which you are, ifyou could hear my voice you're
perceiving in separation.
Using the mind to makeillusions doesn't mean it lost
any of its power.
It's still all powerful.
You're always as God createdyou.
Nothing can change that.

(31:17):
Okay, for an example, the shadow, which is one of Jung's
archetypes, can be seen not assomething to integrate.
This is what we hear a lot inspiritual circles, right, right,
we want to integrate our shadow.
That's some good stuff, but asan illusion to expose and
release.

(31:37):
It's not like you need to beafraid of it.
You don't need to be afraid ofthis shadow archetype, there's
nothing to be afraid of.
But also, it's not to beintegrated.
People spend lifetimes tryingto integrate their shadow when
it can just be exposed andreleased right with the Holy
Spirit through forgiveness.

(31:58):
So in practice, it's like if younotice yourself acting out
certain roles or patterns, right, this is what happened for me
recently I noticed myself actingout a certain pattern and my
mom I think my mom's on rightnow and noticing, wow, my mom
seems to have the same pattern,like she's a really good mirror

(32:20):
for me, actually Showing me,really showing me how, like
holding that it doesn't matterif you're male body or female
bodied, that doesn't matter,it's just this, uh, this hyper
vigilant masculine and in thesense of sacred geometry, you
know, the masculine is all aboutholding structure so that the

(32:41):
feminine can can completelyreceive and accept the Holy
Spirit's function, whichinvolves a great surrender.
See, so I would say a lot ofpeople are hypervigilant,
masculine, not allowing thesurrender to the Holy Spirit,
possibly all of us.

(33:01):
So it's fun to see that, andonly to see it, so that it could
be released, not to identifywith it Like like, for instance,
oh my mom gave me that pattern,oh I have that, I have to keep
it because my mom or whatever.
No, it's, we're all justreflecting each other.
But it does help my mom and thewhole world.

(33:23):
Every time I'm released fromany of these archetypical
patterns or whatever you want tocall them.
Anytime we're released, anytimewe exercise forgiveness, we
help release everyone from it.
So the ego uses these archetypesfeminine, masculine energy to

(33:51):
anchor identity.
They're not for that.
They're not for that truly tobe helpful.
It's a matter of looking atthem as symbols, just symbolic
Part of the dream, part of theillusion.
It's the framework for thedream.
Yes, it's a framework for thedream.
It's good to know the frameworkof the dream.

(34:13):
I love it.
The more I know the frameworkof the dream, the more I can
forgive the framework of thedream.
It's not a matter of trying tomake a better dream.
So when you let the Holy Spiritreinterpret that symbol, it
becomes a means for releaseinstead of repetition.

(34:34):
What the ego wants is morerepetition.
You know the ego thinks that'sbetter.
More and more repetition.
Okay, thomas, had something hewants to add here.
Are you going on camera today,thomas?

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Okay, I'm promoting you to panelists.
One moment.
Oh, someone's saying my name.
I think someone wants to get inComing coming.
All right, thomas, I am puttingyour camera.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
oh, you got it, okay, yay hey, hi hope, hey, I love
what you're saying.
Um, a couple of things reallygot my attention that longing is
essential and I think that'sreally cool, because longing is
really always about God.
And if I don't resign as my ownteacher, I will take that

(35:33):
longing and I will turn it intoa million things.
I will keep trying to makehobbies, sports, money,
relationships.
If I'm my own teacher, I willnever stop trying to fix that
longing.
So I love that it always pointsto God.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
That's me too, and just knowing that every longing,
every desire that we seem tohave for anything in life,
anything in the field, it's justobscuring this desire for God.
That's all it's's doing.
So then we're so free.
You sense the release in thatit's like, oh, I don't have to

(36:12):
chase anything, I don't have towish for anything, because
that's just the desire that togod.
That's actually pulling meright back to god, kind of like
how a river flows to the ocean.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
It's very relaxing in that way yeah, also, you know
what I really appreciate thiswhole thing about symbols,
because the course of miraclessays everything is a symbol.
Yes, words are symbols ofsymbols, twice removed from
reality, so that any way we getoff of the surface I think is

(36:43):
valuable.
So Jesus talks aboutimagination or fantasies,
archetypes, whatever it takes toget out of that surface process
of survival.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
So I really love that symbols are valuable.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
They are.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Yeah, it takes us out of our day-to-day struggle.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Yes, I feel that too, and you know, it's been really
helpful to me looking at sacredgeometry too, because I'm seeing
patterns, and you know, evenpatterns that I don't see in
myself but I see in friends, andeven had someone ask me last
night about a particularrelationship pattern that he
keeps on witnessing himselfplaying out.

(37:25):
Where it's this pattern, wherehe all of a sudden becomes the
son and his woman is the mom,kind of like bossing him around
and stuff like that, you know,and it's like it's really
confusing when you don't seewhat the symbology is behind it.
But you know, it's like if wecan see what the symbology is,

(37:46):
then we don't have to keep onrepeating these patterns again
and again.
That's really keeping us in adream, keeping us projecting
time, because we're gettingfrustrated with each other and
making conflict with each otherand not allowing it to be
brought to the light.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
Also, I really appreciated how Jesus is sort of
correcting Jung in a way thatsays all that information can be
good, but we're not here to fixthe world.
We're here to look at itdifferently and these jung's
ways that he developed can helpus look at it differently, from
a different perspective that'sright and you know that's
pointing to all these ways.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
It's pointing to human design, sacred geometry,
all these different ways wherepeople are coming up with these
systems, these symbolic systemsto kind of show how we're
playing these patterns on thefield.
It's not like it's, it's notlike Jesus is saying that it's
bad or wrong to look at him.
He's saying look at him withthe Holy Spirit so you can see

(38:46):
what you're repeating over andover again.
And stop doing that.
Stop doing the repetition,which is basically projecting
more time and giving the egomore opportunities to kill the
Son of God again and again.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
Yeah, yeah, lifting out of the old pattern, that's
it.
He's introducing us to the newpattern, the new paradigm, how
to look at this world, that'sright with love, with only love,
and not trying to fix it orhave or judge it.
Yeah, and like you were saying,expose and release.

(39:23):
You know that's in love too.
Not to get angry at our partsor our shadow stuff, just to
love it, just like oh, I get it,but you're seeing it from a
perspective that's free and it'sloving.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
It's allowing it to be undone, right, it's allowing
it to be undone, like on WisdomDialogue someone asked about
addiction and it's just like youknow, just even calling it
addiction, it's like just lookat it as something loving, right
when.
That's how we're allowing it tobe undone.
You know you're looking at itas as neutral.

(39:58):
It's neutral, it's symbolic,and then that's what's allowing
everything to be lifted.
It's symbolic and then that'swhat's allowing everything to be
lifted.
And you're not here to get abetter life.
That's the bottom line.
You're not here to get a betterlife.
You're not here to get a betterbody.
You're not here to get lessaddictions or anything like that

(40:19):
.
You're actually here to seethrough the illusion that God's
son is guilty and separate fromGod.
That's all.
That's brilliant.
We's what we're doing.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
We're awakening to the truth.
Yeah, it's exciting and, aswe're doing that, it's going out
, exponentially going out, andit's changing the world Totally
and I do believe that.
So, the more we embody thetruth, it's making a difference
all around us, the whole world.
That's where the collectiveunconscious comes.
World.
That's where the collectiveunconscious comes in.

(40:46):
It's affecting the collectiveunconscious.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Yes, because it's strengthening our belief in our
ability.
Right, it's reallystrengthening our belief in our
ability to choose is really whatit is.
That's the part of theunconscious.
This is what we just went overin A Course in Miracles.
That's the part of theunconscious.
This is what we just went overin A Course in Miracles.
That's the unconscious mindthat's actually shared.
It's this ability to choose.

(41:13):
We could choose miscreation orwe could choose miracles.
So it's strengthening whatwe're doing right now, joining
together like this.
It's strengthening our beliefin that ability.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
It's really strengthening our identity, our
true identity, and the more wecan embody our true identity.
It does what it does.
We're not in charge of itanymore.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Yeah, I mean, our true identity never changes.
You know, that's completelychangeless.
It's just changing our mindabout our true identity, right?
It's really showing us howstable it is, how stable and
unassailable our true identityis, and how it's never been

(41:56):
tarnished and we still have thesame power.
We haven't been weakened bythese illusions.
These illusions that weperceive have no power to weaken
our mind.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Nice, yeah, these illusions it has.
These illusions that weperceive have no power to weaken
our mind.
Nice, yeah, I'm really.
I don't have that version youhave.
So I'm really happy to hearjesus is saying that jung has
some, some valid meaningfulpoints.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
I really love that.
Yeah, I love it too.
He goes over.
He goes over what all theseguys say and say here's.
Here's what's valid and how Iwould reinterpret it it's really
good yeah thank you thank you,okay, so I'll send you.
I'll send you back to anattendee okay, raise your hand
if you want to come back, I loveyou all right, I love you too

(42:40):
all right.
So so in practice, here we're,we're, we're still on the
sentence.
His archetypes were alsomeaningful concepts.
He's talking, jesus is talkingabout yung here.
Okay, so in practice, you knowyou, you notice yourself playing

(43:03):
out any roles or patterns likeJung's archetypes or caretaker,
warrior, victim, savior it couldbe anything from any of these
other things that you'restudying.
These may be archetypicalillusions the ego uses to anchor
identity.
That's what the ego uses thesethings for.
Let the Holy Spirit reinterpretthat so it becomes used for

(43:27):
release instead of repetition.
Okay, so, unless anyone elsehas any questions, we are going
to the next sentence, which issentence four of paragraph three
.
But his major error this isJung's major error.
Jung's major error lay inregarding the deepest level of

(43:52):
the unconscious as shared interms of content.
So that's the part I wastouching on earlier.
You know he's.
Jesus is gently critiquing CarlJung's core metaphysical misstep
here.
Okay, he taught that thecollective unconscious is shared

(44:13):
content, a common pool ofarchetypes and inherited
memories that all human mindsare drawing from.
It looks like that.
You know it looks like that.
So that's why it's easy to makethat misinterpretation.
But what Jesus is saying isthis content is not what's

(44:34):
shared.
When Jesus is saying that ourmind is shared, he's not saying
that these illusions, thesearchetypes are shared.
They're actually projection.
They're personal projections.
What's shared is the wholenessof the mind.
That's what's shared.
That's why we can either extendor we can miscreate by

(44:55):
projecting.
So the content is not sharedunless it's of God.
Only if it's of God is itshared, and that's why we can
extend to one another.
We can extend the truth, whichis the part of the mind that's
shared with God, and heal.

(45:15):
That's how we work miracles andwe heal.
All unconscious content, egoicthoughts, archetypes, impulses,
those all belong to illusion.
He's saying that truth isshared here.
Illusion is not shared.
The ego's thought system may besimilar across dreamers, but

(45:37):
it's not truly shared in reality.
And the reason why he'sbringing that up is because when
we believe that somethingshared, we believe that it's
real, just automatically.
Just automatically.
It seems like it's hardwired.
I've heard myself say thatbefore.
This is some really good inputright here.

(45:59):
So you're not sharingunconscious content with others.
That's projection.
You're sharing a dream ofseparation which is being undone
.
So, basically, what we share,not the content of the dream,
but the idea that we separatedand that's a shared form that we

(46:22):
put into place.
But that's not even real, it'sjust the underpinning of the
dream.
So there's the underpinning ofthe dream, which is the thought
of separation.
After that it's kind of like wemade an agreement, said let's
believe in separation.
Right After that there's allthese projections that are
private.
That's why Jesus has called ita lonely dream.

(46:45):
You're on a lonely journeythrough thought.
Real joining happens inmiracle-mindedness.
You know, there's a couple waysof looking at that Above the
battlefield is one way, and thenalso at the substratum of the
mind, which is the base layer,the one that never changes.

(47:08):
And that's the miraclemindedness.
Real joining happens when we'renot making illusions, true
being willing to let go of eventhe deepest symbols.
If they're not, you know,they're useful for a while while
they're pointing you to God.
Once they're not pointing youto God, just let them be

(47:30):
released.
So we have a footnote on thisone, and this footnote explains
what Jesus is referring to whenhe mentions Jung's archetypes.
So footnote 130.
This is a reference to Jung'sarchetypes, which he viewed as

(47:53):
the contents of the collectiveunconscious, rejecting the
tabula rasa or blank statetheory of mind.
Archetypes are psychicdispositions, patterns, ideas or
images that are present ineveryone.
From these templates the basicthemes of human life emerge.

(48:16):
Examples of archetypes would bebirth, death, mother, father,
god hero, trickster, god hero,trickster.
So Jung proposed that thecollective unconscious contains
universal psychic patterns, deepinherited templates shared by

(48:38):
all humans.
So this view rejects the ideathat the mind is a blank slate
at birth.
Instead, jung believed thatcertain psychic images and ideas
mother, hero, trickster arepre-existing blueprints that
shape our experience of theworld.
So I was looking into thisdeeper and I was like okay, well
, let's say, a baby ismanifested, a baby's manifested,

(49:01):
and this is a question peopleask a lot.
They haven't even had anyexperiences in life yet and
they're getting abused as anewborn baby.
Let's say, how is thathappening if they're not
automatically already havingthese archetypes?
Well, what's going on is theyare projecting these things

(49:21):
already.
It's not like a baby is bornand then it gets a mind.
A mind is projecting a baby.
The mind is already steeped ina sense of separation and has
projections going forth.
So some examples of archetypesyou know birth, that's one thing
we're always projecting that.

(49:42):
Death, mother, father, god, hero, trickster they're all
recurring symbolic roles in thepsyche and the human stories
across cultures.
Still, what Jesus is saying isthey're not shared, they're all
projected.
It's a mind projecting it.
It's a common across dreamers.
It's a common across dreamers.

(50:04):
So he acknowledges that they'remeaningful concepts.
They reflect real psychologicalexperiences within the dream.
However, he's saying that thedeepest level of mind is beyond

(50:26):
these archetypes ACIM.
Jesus, through ACIM, isasserting that the only truth is
shared, and truth doesn't comefrom archetypes, it comes from
God.
In other words, archetypes maybe useful as stepping stones in
psychological work and that'swhat we do a lot.
They're just not the foundationof reality.
So that's the footnote,basically just clarifying it

(50:48):
more.
Checking on you guys, you'redoing good, thank you.
Thank you for joining.
So paragraph four, sentence onethe deepest level of the

(51:14):
unconscious is shared as anability.
That's awesome.
The deepest level of theunconscious.
This is referring to the mostfundamental layer of mind, not
personal memories, not repressedimpulses, the level from which
the true power of the mindarises.
Okay, so this is in contrast toJung's idea that this level
contains shared content, likearchetypes.

(51:37):
Okay, it doesn't contain sharedcontent, it's just this ability
.
It's just this ability.
Jesus teaches that what is trulyshared here is not symbolic,
it's function.
It's our actual function.
That's what's shared.
You know, we've been told thatour function is forgiveness.

(52:00):
Our only function isforgiveness.
That's what we share.
It's shared as an ability.
The ability is the creativepower of the mind.
That's what gets forgotten whenwe look at all these archetypes
and believe that they are uslike.
This is our identity.
The creative power of the mindis the power to choose, the

(52:24):
power to extend truth and thepower to miscreate, which is
what we're doing here.
Largely, we're sharing thepower to miscreate, basically
believing in the sense ofseparation.
It's the capacity formiracle-mindedness, healing,

(52:47):
joining, not the specific forms,not the images that appear in
the psyche.
Those are part of the lonelydream.
I'm having a lonely dream, youknow, today, when I was going
over this, I just I felt solifted, just, you know, going
over this and oh gosh, yes, it'ssuch a lonely dream, you know,

(53:08):
you look at it like that, likeeverything.
That is my reality in thisworld this house, this
personality, this place, thesepeople, it's all projected in a
lonely dream.
No one's here with me in thislonely dream.
You know, we're here togetheras truth, only not in these

(53:32):
lonely dreams, and no one canshare our dream with us.
Yeah, I guess from an ego pointof view that wouldn't feel very
lifting, but, man, I'm gladwe're not egos, okay.
Okay, here's an importantdistinction.

(53:53):
So this sentence is reframingour relationship to the
unconscious Instead of beinglike a warehouse of inherited
themes.
Like Jung thought, the deepestpart of the mind is a shared
capacity.
So what Jung thought and thishad to be sad for him, right, he
had to be having a hard timebelieving this that the deepest

(54:14):
part of the mind were thesearchetypes.
What Jesus is saying feels somuch better too, is that this is
a shared capacity, a unifiedpower.
Right, that we can be alignedwith love.
That's what we could dotogether.
We could be aligned withbelieving in miscreation, or we

(54:34):
could be aligned with love.
That's what we can do together,that's what we can share
together.
That's the power of the mind,the archetypes and all those
things within it.
That's all the content which wewent over last week.
Where it's the miracle stratumis at the bottom of the mind.
It's the base, it's thefoundation, and then there's all

(54:55):
the content.
It's like big.
It's like large.
There's, because there's allthis stuff in there, there's all
these different symbols, butthey're all meaningless.
And then there's the consciouspart and that's where all of the
meaningless stuff is beingprojected.
Either it's the meaninglessstuff that's being projected or
it's a miracle that's comingthrough and being seen on the
surface of things.

(55:15):
So the ability, this abilitythat it's talking about the
sentence again, the deepestlevel of the unconscious, is
shared as an ability.
This ability is miracle workingpotential of the mind that
Jesus is talking to.
It's beyond all the symbols andall the dreams.

(55:37):
So when we're aligned with theHoly Spirit, we and it becomes a
mean for healing.
It's a means for healing.
And we got another footnote onthat.
See if you guys are still doinggood.
Yes, you are, yes, you are.
Yay, christine's here too.
Welcome.
Footnote 131.

(56:03):
Footnote 131.

(56:24):
In other words, the collectiveunconscious is not filled with
distinction between a course inmiracles and jungin psychology.
Jung saw the collectiveunconscious as a shared psychic
reservoir containing specificcontent, images, images, themes,
archetypes, and these werethought to be the universal

(56:53):
patterns imprinted on everypsyche.
They're not universal patterns.
They may be common acrossdreamers Not all, maybe most,
and Jesus has the correction onthat.
Instead of being filled withimages, the deep unconscious is

(57:14):
described as a shared potential,a raw, unformed capacity for
miracle working.
So it's not symbolic orstructured, it's not filled with
ideas or mental templates.
It's pure miracle-mindedness.
It's just waiting to beactivated.
That's what we're doing here.
We're seeing how to activate it.
So, in a summary, jung issaying the unconscious is shared

(57:38):
in form with archetypes.
Jesus is saying the unconsciousis shared in function, miracle
working ability.
The miracle level isn'tpopulated with stories or
symbols.
It's a level of pure creativepower.
Once it's reawakened, it couldbe directed by the Holy Spirit
for healing and truth.

(57:58):
The Holy Spirit directs it all.
So that was the footnote.
Christine says better late thannever.
This is a dream.
Yes, you can't even be late.
Isn't that so cool?
I'm glad you're here, okay, sowe are on to sentence four.

(58:27):
The deepest level of theunconscious is shared as an
ability.
Wait, we did this sentence four.
We're on to.
It's actually paragraph four,sentence two.

(58:50):
Sentence two asmiracle-mindedness, the content
or the particular miracles whichan individual happens to
perform does not matter at all.
Remember we got this in theprinciples of miracles, where
Jesus was saying the type ofmiracle, the kind of miracle,
the content of the miracle, itreally doesn't matter at all.
So, as miracle-mindedness,let's just take that part as

(59:13):
miracle-mindedness.
So Jesus is speaking not of theform but the function.
Miracle-mindedness it's notabout what you do, it's a state
of mind.
That's why it's calledmiracle-mindedness.
It's a state of mind from whicheverything arises.
So this is referring to aquality of awareness.

(59:33):
It's an alignment with thetruth.
It's not the specific deeds oroutcomes, it's not anything that
you seem to be doing.
So it's not like you can pointto something that someone did
and say that was a miracle, likeyou can point to something that
someone did and say that was amiracle.
It's the mind with whichanything.
That's why, also in a course inmiracles, it's talking about
how miracles are natural for you.

(59:53):
If miracles aren't occurringconstantly, something's gone
wrong, right, that's one of theacim principles, principles of
miracles.
So it's the quality ofawareness.
So it says as miracle-mindedness, the content or the particular
miracles does not matter at all.

(01:00:15):
The miracles with which anindividual happens to perform,
they do not matter at all.
So this is a direct refutationof the ego's obsession with form
.
The ego would ask what miracledid I perform?
And the Holy Spirit would sayyour willingness to extend love

(01:00:41):
is the miracle.
That's it.
It's just the willingness toextend love in the mind.
That's why Jesus is saying itdoesn't matter at all what it
looks like.
Miracle mindedness is a field ofgiving.
You know, there's another partin A Course in Miracles where it
says the ego analyzes, the HolySpirit accepts, the Holy Spirit

(01:01:03):
just accepts.
The ego analyzes, the HolySpirit accepts, the Holy Spirit
just accepts.
So the ego will look to formand analyze it.
Did I do good enough?
Did I say it right?
Things like that.
What equals the miracle is justthat willingness, the
willingness to extend love.
That's miracle mindedness.

(01:01:24):
It's a state of mind.
Am I willing to listen to theHoly Spirit?
Am I willingness to extend love?
That's miracle mindedness.
It's a state of mind.
Am I willing to listen to theHoly Spirit?
Am I willing to extend love, oram I trying to analyze
something?
Am I trying to check if I'mdoing it right?
Am I trying to find out whatthose people think about me, for
instance?
It's like a field of givinginstead of like a checklist.

(01:01:47):
It's on a checklist of actions.
So let's say the specificmiracle, a word of comfort,
could be a sudden insight, couldbe a healing shift.
Whatever it is, that's not thepoint.
What matters is that your mindis open to be used.
That's the miracle.

(01:02:08):
That's why Jesus is sayingmiracles should be going on all
day long, like every moment.
If they're not, something'sgone wrong, meaning that your
mind needs to be handed over tothe Holy Spirit for healing so
you could be back to workingmiracles, which makes you happy
and gives you energy andeverything.

(01:02:29):
You don't even need sleep ifyou got miracle mindedness.
Look at the idea that says youknow, this is a fun one, because
apparently last night I sleptfour hours and it was two hours
at a time.
Two hours, wake up for fourhours and sleep another two
hours, right.
And so a thought occurs to me.
A thought occurs to me that Ididn't sleep well last night and

(01:02:54):
it just goes right back tomiracle mindedness.
It's like this willingness tosee, none of this shit matters.
All, all energy, all ability,all of that does not come from
sleep.
In another part in the course,in miracles, I freaking love.
It's probably one of myfavorite quotes.
I haven't said it in a longtime.
Uh, but it's like energy.

(01:03:16):
Energy comes from awakening,not from sleeping.
Is that awesome or what?
And I've heard people say youknow well, maybe I could do that
Like hope, what you're talkingabout like, once in a while, but
like, if I do that two or threetimes, then I'm going to be
wanting to kill myself.
And you know, I'm like that'sthe ego.

(01:03:38):
It's still the ego.
Okay, you seem to be havingthat experience, you're having
that experience, but don't denythat that's the ego, because no
one's really sleeping, okay,okay, so in practice, here the

(01:04:02):
sentence again as miraclemindedness, the content or the
particular miracles which anindividual happens to perform
does not matter at all.
So in practice, this is youdon't have to track or evaluate
your miracles.
Yay, how did I do today?
Make a checklist?
Hmm, I said something nice overhere.

(01:04:23):
I got an insight over here.
You know, it's not like that,it's just your willingness.
And right now, there's only nowyou don't even have to know any
miracles happened, I don't evenneed to know.
You only need to be miracleminded.
How do you know you're beingmiracle minded?
You're letting love, you'rewilling to let love extend

(01:04:45):
through.
You're being uplifted, you'refeeling good, you're feeling
happy, you're feeling kindtoward people right, you're
feeling kind toward yourself.
You're feeling kind towardpeople, feeling kind toward God
too.
You know, I hear people saythey're mad at God.
This is the opposite of any kindof spiritual ambition like,

(01:05:06):
look what I did, look at themiracles I perform.
Here's my resume.
Right?
This says I'm a good person.
Right, that's, that's a goodone.
Right, mara, I'm a good person.
Look at all the shit I've done.
Why am I suffering like this?

(01:05:27):
So, in summary, miraclemindedness is a state of mind.
It's not a list of acts.
All right, the form of amiracle is not relevant.
The content is what's relevant.
That's love and that's whatflows through willingness.
Your willingness to let loveflow is letting love flow.
That's what it is.
You're not closing off, you'renot stopping to evaluate

(01:05:51):
yourself.
So this sentence is invitingrelease of self-evaluation.
That's a miracle.
Being released ofself-evaluation that closes you
off To the ego.
That's a good thing to do.
Evaluate yourself, isn't it?
Or wishing someone else wouldevaluate themselves so they'd

(01:06:16):
stop acting like such a dick,for instance.
It's an embrace of thisavailability of the spirit
Always, always, always.
The spirit's available toreinterpret everything.
Yay, all right, you guys arelooking good.
Thank you for joining.
I love you.
All right, we're on to the nextsentence.

(01:06:41):
What is this?
Sentence three, yes, sentencethree of paragraph four, they
will.
They meaning miracles will, infact be entirely different,
since I, jesus, direct them,because I make a point of

(01:07:06):
avoiding redundancy he's makinga joke there they will, in fact,
be entirely different.
This is miracles performed byindividuals.
Jesus is saying that no twomiracles look alike.

(01:07:26):
Even if the function is thesame, the form is always going
to vary.
Why?
Because each situation, person,moment, it's a unique
configuration in the dream.
That's why Jesus is saying hedirects the miracles.
That's why we don't choose ourmiracles.
Right, this is a common thingfor people.

(01:07:46):
Oh, I see that that person overthere needs me to work a
miracle.
That's what Jesus is saying.
Let him direct all the miracles.
You're staying in a willingstate of mind.
You're staying inmiracle-mindedness, not knowing
what form they're going to take.
No two miracles look alike.
Not knowing what form they'regoing to take, no two miracles
look alike.

(01:08:06):
The content is always love, butthe expression is always
tailored by Jesus, not by us.
This reminds us don't try toimitate some form of a miracle.
Don't ritualize miracles.
It's not like we're decidingwhat miracles we're going to do.

(01:08:28):
Really, it takes a lot ofpressure off of us.
All we're doing is staying in amiracle-minded state, willing
to extend love, basically, andletting the miracles just roll
out the way they need to rollout, jesus says, since I direct
them.
This is the key to all truemiracle working.
We're not the source ofmiracles, jesus or the Holy

(01:08:54):
Spirit.
You know, jesus is standingoutside of time with his mind
completely purified of guilt.
The Holy Spirit is the voicefor God.
You'd say they're working intandem.
Jesus or the Holy Spirit is.
We just offer our willingnessand we don't choose the timing,
we don't choose the target, wedon't choose the content.

(01:09:15):
It's not about personal control, it's about being released from
personal control.
This willing, you're justwilling to see things
differently, willing to lookwith the Holy Spirit, willing to
see things differently, willingto look with the Holy Spirit,
miracle-mindedness.
Basically, one lesson from ACourse in Miracles.
I will step back and let Himlead the way.

(01:09:37):
One really sweet lesson from ACourse in Miracles.
Another part of the sentence,because I make a point of
avoiding redundancy.
That's the part where Jesus islike making a subtle joke.
There he makes a point ofavoiding redundancy.
He's telling us the spirit isnever boring or mechanical.
The ego loves repetition,habits, repeating things,

(01:10:01):
control formulas.
Spirit loves freshness,responsiveness, presence.
So, even though all themiracles reflect the same truth.
Their forms are going to varybecause love is attuned.
It's not an automatic thing.
So don't try to repeat pastmiracles or replicate outcomes

(01:10:24):
that you saw before.
So don't try to repeat pastmiracles or replicate outcomes
that you saw before.
Let's say you saw someone bepleased with you and you thought
oh, there it is, there's themiracle.
And then the next time they'renot pleased with you.
Just don't look at the formlike that.
Look at your willingness, lookat your openness, being present,

(01:10:51):
being willing and accepting allthings as the means for your
awakening, and not anything, notanything is ever having gone
wrong.
Let the Spirit always speaknewly through you.
You know the people sometimesask me well, what would you say
if someone I don't know?
I don't know until the moment.
It'll be new, it'll be fresh,it'll probably be different
every time.

(01:11:14):
Trust that your unique role isyour unique role in the plan is
irreplaceable.
So, whatever your life seems tobe, whatever you seem to be
going through, whatever you seemto be looking at, that's
irreplaceable in this plan.
It's perfect.
However, you seem to be like,if you have some kind of injury,
if you have some kind ofsickness, if you have some kind

(01:11:37):
of conflict in your life.
You know, one person was askingme the other day because I was
like you know, I just casuallylet her know yeah, my daughter
does cocaine and goes on benders, you know, for six days.
She's like you're just totallyokay with that.
I'm like, yeah, why wouldn't Ibe?
It's her unique function in thedream, it's her unique role in

(01:11:58):
the dream.
Nothing's wrong.
And from my perspective, havingthat, having that perception as
a mom, is also uniquely used.
Nothing's wrong.
There's nothing to hide,there's nothing to fear.
There's just it's nothing'swrong.
And the beautiful thing isthat's what gets taught through
me, because I'm aware of that.
You know, it's like even peoplewho seem to be going through

(01:12:24):
something that the world wouldgo oh no, shame, shame, shame,
shame, shame.
It's like they learn just frombeing around me.
Oh, the Holy Spirit's got me.
I'm cruising, it's the same.
It's just like a river to theocean, like anyone else.
It doesn't matter what form thisis taking, right?
So trust your unique role.

(01:12:45):
Your unique role in the plan isirreplaceable, it's perfect as
it is.
Don't listen to the world'sideas.
So many of us are just likehiding something, intentionally,
hiding something from otherpeople, and there's no other
people and the reason it's notwrong.

(01:13:06):
It's not wrong that people aredoing that, it's just.
It's revealing that we believethat somehow our role isn't the
best possible role and we'reafraid of shame and judgment
coming from other people.
Right and so so, knowing thatyour role is unique in this plan
, it's irreplaceable, it'sperfect.

(01:13:27):
You're just perfect as you are,and so is everyone else, that
is a miracle.
Right there, your mind is open.
It's just open.
You're not making judgments,you're not projecting shame.
Every miracle looks differentin form because Jesus directs
them and avoids redundancy.

(01:13:49):
The Holy Spirit orchestrateseach expression of love uniquely
, so the miracle worker's job isjust to offer willingness, not
control right.
Not trying to control outcomes,not trying to control people,
not to try to imitate anythingor to repeat something that they
thought went well before.
Okay yeah, glad you guys arehere.

(01:14:19):
Thank you, okay.
So next one sentence fourunless a miracle actually heals,
it is not a miracle at all.
It's not a miracle at allunless it actually heals.
That's sentence four.
So here Jesus is drawing aclear line.

(01:14:41):
A miracle is not defined by form, intention or even anything
spiritual sounding.
It's designed.
It's defined only by its effect.
Unless it actually heals, he'ssaying, it's defined only by its
effect.
And a true effect of a miracleis healing.

(01:15:02):
What is healing?
You guys remember what healingis?
Healing is a shift in perceptionfrom fear to love.
That's what that is.
So unless that is accomplishedso look at that, okay, miracles,
if you're not performing,performing them all the time,
something has gone wrong.
So your perception isconstantly getting shifted from

(01:15:25):
fear to love.
So the example that I just gaveyou earlier there there seemed
to be some concern that came upin my mind.
How am I going to do this?
Acim, I only slept two hoursand then another two hours, like

(01:15:46):
all week, not just last night,right.
And as soon as that concerncomes up, there's a shift in the
perception from fear to love,there's this willingness to see.
Truly.
There's no last night, there'sno last night.
Right now this is beingprojected.
I don't have to be a victim ofwhat I think I did last night.

(01:16:11):
Right, I was telling my son thatone time, when he was like 17
or something, he comes home andhe's about ready to go to school
.
He's like mom, I don't think Ican go to school.
I drank too much last night.
I got a hangover.
I feel like shit.
I'm like dude, there's no lastnight.
So you're projecting a hangoverand feeling like shit right now

(01:16:33):
.
You don't have to go to school,but just being aware you're
doing that to yourself.
Right, this invites a shift inperception.
You see, the power of our mind.
That's a truth.
It's a shift from fear to love,and the healing.
It may or may not be visible inform.

(01:16:56):
See, that's what the ego isalways looking for, something
that's visible in form, but itmust result in release from
guilt.
It must result in this Releasefrom guilt, return to peace and
awareness of shared innocence.
So it's like this power, peace,innocence.

(01:17:22):
If there's no shift in the mind,no release of fear or illusion,
then nothing happened, at leastnot a miracle.
Jesus says it is not a miracleat all.
This is very strong correctionof magical thinking.
So words, gestures, appearancesdon't make it a miracle If it

(01:17:43):
doesn't extend love and restoretruth to awareness, it's just
not a miracle.
Miracles is restoring truth toour mind.
Your mind is all powerful.
The past has no power over you.
Your past thoughts, forinstance, karma, for instance,
instance has no power over you.

(01:18:04):
Right now you're projecting thewhole thing.
It's possible to believe thatwe're helping, we're healing,
when we're really justreinforcing separation.
It's possible to actspiritually, but come from the
ego.
Some of you guys can feel thattoo.
Right, reinforcing separation.
So Jesus is inviting a rigoroushonesty.

(01:18:27):
Did this bring healing?
If it didn't bring a shift fromfear to love?
It's not a miracle, it's notwrong, it's just not a miracle.
Don't pretend it's a miracle.
Love it's not a miracle, it'snot wrong, it's just not a
miracle.
Don't pretend it's a miracle.
It was not guided by him.
Everything that he guided,everything that he guides, makes
a shift from fear to love.
That's the miracle and that'sthe healing.

(01:18:51):
So measure your miracle workingworking not by, not by outcome,
but by peace.
It feels peaceful.
That's miracle working.
When you're offering love,guilt dissolves.
That's healing.
That's the miracle.
Guilt is dissolving.
It's truth, trust that the HolySpirit knows exactly what to

(01:19:17):
heal.
You don't need to figure it out, you're just being willing.
So miracles are only defined bytheir healing effect, not by
appearance or intention.
If no healing occurred, itwasn't not truly a miracle.
True miracle working, restorespeace, releases fear and

(01:19:40):
remembers our innocence.
Only the Holy Spirit canorchestrate this.
And then we have footnotefootnote 132.
The implication is that ifmiracles were redundant, if they

(01:20:01):
kept occurring in the sameforms, they would lose their
psychological impact and thustheir ability to heal.
So this is why this isexplaining in the footnote.
This is explaining why jesusdirects miracles individually.
He avoids repetition.

(01:20:22):
There's no redundancy inmiracles.
If they look the same, the samewords, the same gestures, same
situation, they would becomepredictable and they become
uninspiring.
The course teaches that healingrequires a shock to the ego's
system, a shift in perception,unexpected penetrating, breaking

(01:20:45):
habitual patterns of thoughts.
So it breaks up habitualpatterns of thoughts.
You know.
Of course the world would say,of course you should be tired.
You only slept two hours andthen two hours.
It's nothing, you need at leastsix or whatever.
The story is of consistentsleep or something.

(01:21:06):
It's like a shock to the ego.
You just go.
No, actually, the mind is allpowerful.
It's like a shock to thatsystem.
It's unexpected.
So a repeated form just losesits edge.
It becomes a ritual.

(01:21:26):
It's like a technique.
It's like a technique thatwe're doing on our own rather
than a direct communication fromthe spirit.
They must be personallyrelevant.
Uh, the miracle, every miracleis tailored to the unique needs
of the moment, the person, thesituation.

(01:21:48):
Whatever the fear is, there's ashift to love from that
particular form of fear.
It's its form matters only tothe, to the degree that it
serves for healing.
So if the form repeats, themind may stop paying attention.
The miracle loses its abilityto get through and bring about
true change.
So we get all these differentforms to see.

(01:22:09):
It's not a formula.
They have to stay fresh,surprising, to pierce through
resistance, repetition wouldjust dull the psychological
impact and then their healingpower.
That's why Jesus says I directthem.
So each one is preciselydesigned to undo fear.

(01:22:34):
It's designed to restore lovein a way that the mind can
actually receive.
All right, everyone's doingawesome.
I love you.
Thank you All right, that wasfootnote 132.
And now we're on to sentencefive of paragraph four.

(01:22:56):
And now we're on to sentencefive of paragraph four the
content of the miracle level isnot recorded in the individual's
unconscious, because if it were, the miracle would not be
automatic or involuntary.
That's another thing Jesus issaying there automatic and
involuntary, which we have saidrepeatedly that it should be.

(01:23:23):
It should be automatic andinvoluntary, which we have said
repeatedly that it should be.
It should be automatic andinvoluntary.
So miracles are occurring atthe level of the mind.
That's not where the personalunconscious is.
They're not stored as memories.
Miracles aren't stored asmemories, ideas or patterns
within your personal unconsciousmind.
You hear that they're notstored like that.

(01:23:44):
Because if it were, if themiracle content were stored in
your unconscious, the miraclewouldn't be automatic or
involuntary.
You'd think you know a formulafor performing a miracle.
It would become part of theego's control structure.

(01:24:06):
You might try to reproduce itor even claim authorship of the
miracle, which actuallyinterferes with its divine
spontaneity.
So Jesus is reminding us hereof a key teaching Miracles must
be involuntary.
This is from the principles ofmiracles.
They're always involuntary.
They're not consciously planned, they're not scripted, they're

(01:24:27):
not recalled like ordinarymemories.
They're actually extensions oflove directed by the Holy Spirit
through your willing mind.
So it's your willingness Again,your part in it.
Your part in working miraclesis willingness, that's all it is
.
So the miracle level is not thesame level as the ego and

(01:24:55):
unconscious.
Okay.
Its content remains untouchedby any of your personal
processing systems.
That's on purpose.
If you could recall andreproduce miracles at will,
they'd stop being miracles atall.
They'd be tools of the ego,then Predictable, mechanical,
disconnected right.

(01:25:15):
So this sentence is emphasizingthat true miracles must remain
guided.
That's why we're always askingHoly Spirit what should I do,
where should I go, who would youhave me see and what would you
have me say to them too?
So it's so nice, it's relaxing.
Only then can miracles havetheir full healing power.

(01:25:38):
So let's read that sentenceagain.
The content of the miraclelevel is not recorded in the
individual's unconscious becauseif it were, the miracle would
not be automatic or involuntary.
Were, the miracle would not beautomatic or involuntary, which

(01:26:01):
we have said repeatedly that itshould be so automatic and
involuntary.
Again, it's simple.
Our only part in it iswillingness.
So we go to sentence six.
I'm going to check on you guys.
Make sure you don't have anyquestions.
You're all doing good, okay,good.
Sentence six.

(01:26:27):
However, the content is a matterfor the record which is not
within the individual himself.
So first, it's saying that it'snot recorded in the
individual's mind like part ofyour memory or anything like

(01:26:47):
that.
So, however, this isintroducing a seeming contrast
to the previous sentence whichstated that the miracle content
could not be stored in theindividual's unconscious.
It says the content is a matterfor the record, although the
individual's unconscious.
It says the content is a matterfor the record.
Although the individual doesn'tkeep record of the miracles
personally or unconsciously, themiracles are still recorded,

(01:27:08):
just not in the individual'sprivate mind.
Remember, the private mind islike your dream, your
personality, all that kind ofstuff.
That's the private mind.
So this record is referring toa higher, collective, divine
memory, sometimes called therecords of the soul, or God's
memory in metaphysical language.

(01:27:29):
It says which is not within theindividual himself.
So this is emphasizing thatyou're not responsible for
remembering miracles.
Their effects and purpose arefor the spirit to preserve, not
by you.
You don't have to preserve them.
You're just the vessel, not therecorder.

(01:27:51):
So the insight on this is thatthere's freedom in miracle
working.
You don't need to remember whatyou did, how you helped or who
you healed.
That's not your job.
The spirit keeps the record.
This frees you from personalpride, right?
We don't want to get into pride, it says in the Bible.
Pride always comes before afall.

(01:28:13):
We don't want to get intoanything like that Pride like oh
yeah, I did this and this, andthis Pride is basically coming
back to guilt Strategy, right?
How am I going to work thismiracle?
Just being willing and lettingthe miracle flow.
The effects are lovinglyremembered, beyond you, beyond

(01:28:34):
the dream of self, the one thatyou think you are Right, beyond
the dream of self, the one thatyou think you are.
We got a footnote here, footnote133.
It says see footnote 105 forreferences to the miracle being

(01:28:56):
involuntary.
Note 105 for references to themiracle being involuntary.
The notion that specificmiracles, particular expressions
of love to brothers in need,being stored in the individual's
unconscious would compromisethe automatic or involuntary
nature of miracles seems to meanthat these old miracles would
tend to pattern new miraclesafter themselves rather than

(01:29:20):
allowing new ones to be inspiredinvoluntarily.
So one example of this is maybeyou saw that you apparently
helped someone before and thenthey're coming to you for help
again.
This still needs to be spiritguided.
It's not like you're obligatedJust because someone wants your

(01:29:42):
help or someone wants yourattention, doesn't mean that
they need to have access to you.
Letting it be Holy Spiritguidance, guided with just your
willingness to see Right.
That was footnote 133.

(01:30:25):
So now content is a matter.
The individual himself Okay.
So paragraph five, sentence one,all psychoanalysts made one
common error in that theyattempted to uncover unconscious
content.
All psychoanalysts made onecommon error in that they
attempted to uncover unconsciouscontent.
So common error.

(01:30:52):
So psychoanalysts, which Jesushas been referring to in this
text Freud, jung, adler andothers believe that they're
uncovering and analyzingunconscious content, such as
repressed traumas, fears,desires, archetypes, that a

(01:31:15):
person could find healing orintegration that way.
But Jesus is saying this is anerror because illusions are not
healed by digging into them.
So we're looking at themlightly, but not digging into
them.
They're healed by beingrecognized as false.
So we want to recognize theillusions but not dig into them,

(01:31:36):
because digging into themdoesn't lead to healing the
illusions.
But not dig into them becausedigging into them doesn't lead
to healing.
Recognizing them as false andbeing released from them does.
So when you search for truthinside of unconscious content,
you're really treating illusionsas if they're meaningful.
There's no truth in them.
They can just show you whatpatterns you're playing out,

(01:31:57):
like we were talking aboutearlier.
They're showing you whatpatterns you're playing out, so
you don't have to keep onrepeating them.
The unconscious is the ego'shiding place for guilt, fear and
miscreation.
It's the con.
The content is is not sacred orsymbolic, it's just false.
Right, it's not just false,it's fun.
One name for sacred geometry issacred geometry.

(01:32:21):
We can just call it falsegeometry because it's just
symbolic.
It's really.
It can't be sacred because it'ssomething the ego made.
Really, you know, it's okaythat we call it sacred geometry.
Everyone knows what it is, youknow.
But really it's just not reallytrue.
It's made to protect separation.

(01:32:43):
So studying the unconsciousreinforces the belief that it's
real.
Jesus teaches bring it to light, but do not make it your focus.
Don't dwell on illusions.
This is from the text and, ofcourse, in miracles it's from
chapter 12.
Do not dwell on illusions inyour mind, but merely turn them

(01:33:05):
over to him and they willdisappear.
Why does this matter?
Psychoanalysts seek healing byunderstanding and interpreting
the ego's content.
Jesus says healing comes onlyfrom withdrawing belief from it.
So this line helps us tounderstand.
Forgiveness is an analysis.
It's recognizing that nothingunreal ever happened.

(01:33:29):
So, in application, if younotice unconscious patterns,
triggers, dreams, relationships,is this for studying or is this
for handing over?
Is this appearing so I canunderstand it or is it appearing
so I can let it go?
The answer is always in ACIM.

(01:33:51):
The answer is always let it go,let the spirit reinterpret it
and let it go.
You don't need to uncoverillusion.
You know you don't need touncover illusion.
You know you don't need touncover illusion more than just
recognizing it to be free of it.
That was sentence one,paragraph five.

(01:34:12):
You guys are all doing awesome,I love it.
You guys are all doing awesome,I love it.
So now we have sentence 2,paragraph 5.

(01:34:33):
Cannot understand unconsciousactivity in these terms, because
content is applicable only tothe more superficial unconscious
levels to which the individualhimself contributed.
Okay, that's a long sentenceyou cannot understand.

(01:34:55):
So you cannot understandunconscious activity in these
terms.
So this is back to thepsychoanalytic approach.
When he's saying these terms,it's a psychoanalytic approach.
You cannot understandunconscious activity in these
terms, trying to analyze theunconscious and uncovering

(01:35:16):
meaning in its contents.
He's saying the whole frameworkis flawed.
The true unconscious as the egomade it is not understandable
In terms of content.
It's not understandable becauseit's based on denial.
It's not based on the truth.
Content is only applicable tothe more superficial unconscious

(01:35:37):
levels.
That's what he's saying.
Content is applicable only tothe more superficial unconscious
levels.
So the ego splits the mind intolevels Conscious, pre-conscious
, unconscious.
Psychoanalysis focuses onbringing unconscious content to

(01:35:59):
awareness memories, instincts,archetypes.
But Jesus is saying this kindof content it exists only on
superficial layers of theunconscious.
It's not the unconscious thatwe share.
These are the parts of the mindthe individual himself
contributes to.
So remember, we're talkingabout this being a lonely dream.

(01:36:19):
So all these parts that it'stalking about, where they go
into analyzing those things,that's the individual's
projections, that's what hecontributed into the unconscious
.
It only exists in thesuperficial layers because the
individual contributes to it.
It's his personal history,fears, fantasies, preferences.

(01:36:42):
This is the key to which theindividual himself contributes.
The deep unconscious where thebelief in separation is buried.
It's not filled with content inthe usual sense.
The deep unconscious where thatbelief in separation, it's more
like a core decision to remainasleep.

(01:37:03):
Okay, then that gives rise tothe illusion of content.
So there's this core decisionto remain asleep and then all
these projections of all thiscontent.
That's what the individual iscontributing to the unconscious
mind.
It's all their content.
The more superficial layers wetry to analyze, the more we stay

(01:37:25):
within the ego's domain.
And that's basically our psyche, our personal psyche.
That does not need to beanalyzed, it only needs to be

(01:37:46):
handed over.
True healing requires goingpast these layers, to the level
where the decision for guilt wasmade in the first place and
undoing it with the Holy Spirit.
So to summarize this sentencecontent applies to the surface
levels of the unconscious, thelayers we usually think of
memories, patterns, beliefs,personality, the deepest
unconscious, the decision toseparate from God is not about
content.
It's a denial of truth.
It's a hidden, hidden choice toforget and then all the other

(01:38:12):
content comes up after that.
You cannot understand thisactivity.
You only need to forgive it,you don't need to understand it.
So, unconscious content just togive you kind of like a map of
what's going on here, the termunconscious content to

(01:38:34):
psychoanalysis ego view it'smeaningful.
Content to psychoanalysis egoview it's meaningful, it's
revealing, it must be understood, okay.
Acim point of view, jesus pointof view it's illusory,
superficial, it must be released, okay.
Then there's the deepunconscious To psychoanalyst,
that's collective symbols andinstincts.

(01:38:55):
We talked about that.
From Jesus's point of view,it's the denial of truth.
It's not symbolic.
The deep unconscious is justthe denial of truth.
It's not symbolic at all.
It's like an agreement to denythat we're still in heaven.
Basically, the denial of truth.
The term healing to the cycleanalysis happens through insight

(01:39:16):
.
Into the content.
From Jesus's point of view, ithappens through insight and into
the content From Jesus's pointof view, it happens through
forgiveness and withdrawal ofbelief.
That's how we do it.
So let's see how you guys aredoing.
All right, thank you forstaying with me.

(01:39:43):
Love you doing awesome.
No one's got any questions yet.
Okay, all right, we're movingon.
Sentence three.
This is the level at which hecan readily introduce fear and

(01:40:11):
usually does so.
This is the level.
This is the superficial,superficial, unconscious level.
So let's look at the previoussentence again so we can
understand.
This Content is applicable onlyto the more superficial

(01:40:35):
unconscious levels to which theindividual himself contributes.
So Jesus is talking about thepersonal unconscious, the layer
of the mind that's filled withprivate thoughts, fantasies,
hidden fears, projections,unexamined beliefs.
These are the illusions wepersonally add and which we
believe in.
We know we believe in thembecause we're projecting a world

(01:40:57):
.
We know we believe in thembecause we're projecting a world
.
And it says this is the levelat which he can readily
introduce fear.
So we have apparent access tomake choices because it's the
layer that we still believe.
We're functioning as individualdecision makers.

(01:41:17):
You guys, we're functioning asindividual decision makers.
You guys, we're not making anyof these choices of the things
we say and do in the field.
It's apparent decisions.
We're making apparent decisions.
Someone goes why did you dothat?
It's like did I do somethingwrong?
We're only making apparentdecisions.
Did I do something wrong?

(01:41:39):
We're only making apparentdecisions.
We may not consciously intend tochoose fear, but every time we
believe we're a body, every timewe defend our self-image, every
time we think someone else canhurt us or help us, hurt us or
help us, we're inviting fearinto the superficial level of
the mind.
Jesus is saying fear doesn'tjust happen to you.
You introduce it throughjudgment, projection, belief in

(01:42:01):
separation.
So another part of the sentence.
Let's just start over again.
This is the level at which hecan readily introduce fear and
usually does so.
We're looking at the andusually does.
Part.
This is a loving and honestobservation.
Until the mind choosesmiracle-mindedness, it will
always default to fear.

(01:42:22):
Well, almost always.
There's a little bit ofmiracle-mindedness in everyone,
even when they don't know aboutit.
Fear is the ego's fuel.
Personal unconscious, which wejust talked about, is full of
patterns based on the ego'sthought system.
So most minds in the sleepingstate will introduce fear here
by default until they begin totrain their mind in miracle

(01:42:45):
perceiving.
This is why Jesus is urging usto be mindful and take
responsibility for everythingwe're projecting.
That's really a simple practiceJust take responsibility for
everything we're projecting, andit's not like a guilty thing,
it's just recognizing that mymind is all powerful to make

(01:43:06):
illusions and I'm making all ofthese illusions.
So the superficial unconsciousis where we contribute thoughts
and emotions we don't want tosee.
This is the level where fear canbe invited in through judgment.
We're believing in lack, we'rebelieving in comparison or guilt
, and most people do thishabitually until they learn to
turn to the Holy Spirit andwithdraw from belief, from all

(01:43:29):
these things.
Healing begins by recognizingfear as a choice and choosing
again.
That's why Jesus says it likethis this is a level at which he
can readily introduce fear andusually does Okay, we got a few

(01:43:54):
minutes left.
We're moving on.
Unless you guys have anyquestions, you're still doing
good, all right.
So Freud was right in callingthis level preconscious and

(01:44:18):
emphasizing that there is afairly easy interchange between
pre-conscious and consciousmaterial.
So this is another keyclarification Jesus is making
about Freud's contribution.
Okay, it's tied to the lines wewere previously exploring.

(01:44:38):
So here's the sentence.
Freud was right in calling thislevel pre-conscious that's
where we introduce the fear andemphasizing that there is a
fairly easy interchange betweenpre-conscious and conscious
material.
So here's Jesus giving Freudcredit for one.

(01:44:59):
He's referring to thesuperficial unconscious level,
the layer of the mind where werepress or avoid certain
thoughts.
We can still bring them intoawareness with a little
willingness, and these includethings like fantasies that we
deny judgments, we pretend wedon't have patterns, we keep
repeating, but we don't question.

(01:45:21):
Freud called this pre-conscious, not as the deep unconscious
layer, but not fully consciouseither.
Jesus agrees.
He's saying this is the correctlabel for this layer.
He's saying this is the correctlabel for this layer Rest of

(01:45:43):
the sentence and emphasizingthat there is a fairly easy
interchange betweenpre-conscious and conscious
material.
This is important for healing.
Jesus is confirming we canaccess and release the
fear-based thoughts at thislevel because they're close to
the surface, the pre-conscious,close to the surface.
That's why the Holy Spirit canwork with us here.
Whenever we notice a projection,we recognize guilt or we feel

(01:46:06):
tension, we feel there's a lie,there's an untruth.
You notice an untruth.
That's what happens for me.
I'll notice an untruth.
Someone will just speak to meand, without judging the person
or anything like that, I'll feelit untruth, like someone will
just speak to me and, you know,without judging the person or
anything like that, I'll feel itin my body's energy field.
I've noticed this since I was akid, and you guys probably have
too.
You'll just feel kind of like,uh, that's a little off right

(01:46:31):
and that's because it's close.
There's something there.
There's something there for usto see.
And you know, as I've gonethrough and studied A Course in
Miracles and stuff, I reallytake note of that.
Now, you know, when I was a kidI would just kind of like be
confused.
Hmm, why does that feel weird,you know?
But now I know, oh, there'ssomething to look at there and

(01:46:51):
I'll get insight because of that, just recognizing there's
something there, that justrecognizing there's something
there.
So this interchange, the ease ofbringing thoughts from
pre-conscious into conscious.
Awareness is what makesforgiveness possible without
analysis.
Okay, so the bottom line isthere's a superficial layer of

(01:47:12):
the mind where repressedthoughts live.
We can bring them to lighteasily.
Healing occurs by choosingforgiveness instead of trying to
understand fear.
So here's kind of like a littlebit of a mind map.
So here's a concept the levelof mind.
Okay, pre-conscious.

(01:47:34):
Freud's term is pre-conscious.
What Jesus is saying thesuperficial unconscious.
He's calling this pre-conscious.
What Jesus is saying thesuperficial unconscious.
He's calling this pre-conscious.
That Freud said.
The superficial unconscious,where ego generated content is
accessible, it's easilyaccessible.
Superficial conscious,unconscious.
Okay, another conceptinterchange, freud's term

(01:47:55):
between conscious andpre-conscious.
Jesus is saying this is wherethe mind can choose fear or love
.
And the interchange betweenthis pre-conscious, where you
could just feel it because it'sunderneath the surface.
The concept is agreement,freud's term.
Jesus affirms freud's accuracybut points out freud stopped at

(01:48:15):
the surface and didn'tunderstand true healing.
He didn't understandmiracle-mindedness.
So it makes it easy to chooseforgiveness.
So back to that sentence.
Freud was right in calling thislevel pre-conscious, that's the
level where we can easilyintroduce fear, and usually do,
and emphasizing that there is afairly easy interchange between

(01:48:38):
pre-conscious and consciousmaterial.
That is the shift from fear tolove, that is the forgiveness.
And one more.
We just have one more footnoteand we're at five o'clock.
Thanks you guys for stayingwith me.
I know this is some of the moreheady things in A Course in
Miracles.
Going into psychoanalysis, oneof my friends was telling me she

(01:49:01):
hates this part of A Course inMiracles and this is also part
of it.
That was added.
This was part of the notes.
This wasn't part of theoriginal.
I'm pretty sure that's accurate.
Anyways, footnote 134.
Freud's preconscious includesthoughts that aren't conscious
at a given time, but they aren'trepressed and so can be called

(01:49:24):
into consciousness.
Jesus here seems to be possiblyextending the pre-conscious to
include the entirety of theFreudian unconscious.
So not super important there,that footnote.
As far as miracle-mindedness,it's just the.
I guess you would call them thepeople who compiled all of the

(01:49:49):
notes and put them in here, andthey also made footnotes.
There were no footnotes in theoriginal version of A Course in
Miracles.
They're just explaining stufffor us here.
So, hooray, we made it thistime to paragraph six, sentence
one, and what a beautifulexploration it's been.
