Have you ever considered that your fears might be completely unjustified—not because the situations aren't challenging, but because fear itself has no foundation in truth? This profound session explores Lesson 240 from A Course in Miracles, which boldly states: "Fear is not justified in any form."
We begin by examining a simple yet powerful litmus test for identifying fear in our lives: does the thought or feeling lack gratitude? This practical approach helps us quickly recognize when we've slipped into fear-based thinking. From feeling rushed and anxious to worrying about loved ones or global events, we discover how all forms of fear stem from seeing ourselves as less than who we truly are.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we explore the nature of projection versus creation. Everything we perceive in this world—both seemingly good and bad—is actually a projection of our minds, not eternal creation. When we recognize this fundamental truth, we can redirect our psychic energy from miscreation (fear) to creation (love). This isn't just philosophy; it's a practical approach to transforming our daily experience.
Perhaps most challenging is the distinction between true compassion and false empathy. We explore how feeling sorry for others often reinforces their suffering rather than supporting their healing. True compassion recognizes the divine power in everyone, seeing past appearances to the truth of who they are. This doesn't mean we don't take action to help others physically, but our actions come from a place of recognizing wholeness rather than victimhood.
Through practical examples and personal stories, we learn how to witness our reactive patterns, change limiting beliefs, and recognize the power of our minds to transform our experience. The teaching culminates in the liberating understanding that "not one thing in this world is true"—and far from being nihilistic, this realization sets us free to perceive differently and create anew.
Ready to experience the profound peace that comes from recognizing that fear has no justification? Listen now and discover how to live from this liberating truth.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Aloha, this is ACIM meeting at Namaste Village and
today we are covering lesson 240.
Yay, it's like a moment ofsilence.
Yay, we're extending gratitudefrom all of our hearts for this
(00:24):
time together where we get toexperience A Course in Miracles,
joining our minds as one,receive the deep meaning beneath
the words so that we can liveit in our everyday life, it in
our everyday life, so thatwhenever any fear or worry or
(00:46):
irritation or anything arises inour perception, we can see it
and know that it's helpful tosee it and we can bring it to
(01:07):
the Amen.
All right, let's begin ourbeautiful lesson.
All right.
Fear is not justified in anyform.
So fear, forms of fear.
One really easy way to tellwhen it's a form of fear is does
it lack gratitude?
(01:28):
That is a really simple way.
Does it lack gratitude?
Gratitude is always justified,right Gratitude and anything
above gratitude.
I would say, you know, joy,acceptance, peace, joy,
acceptance, peace, happiness,all of that's justified because
of who we are.
But fear and any form of fear,any form of ingratitude, you can
(01:53):
say those are the forms thatare not justified.
Right, like when you imaginethat something is bad.
It would be bad if thishappened, for instance, it would
be bad if this happened.
Nothing can be bad.
(02:16):
That happens.
That's fear.
So that's how you know that isnot a justified thought.
Notice the feeling in thebody's energy field.
Also, that person is such andsuch right, something that feels
(02:39):
upsetting.
It's not seeing them as whollyperfect as they are right.
We were just talking about Flo.
When I saw Flo outside, I goman Flo, she looks frazzled.
I'm not sure when she's cominghere.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Oh, I want to come.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh, I know you do, that's not a question.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
If it's anything, I went to every class they had
this morning and didn't do mysub time to eat, so I had to
gobble some food because that'simportant.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I don't have to worry about that, I'm fasting.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, he's fasting today.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I'm not doing that.
It felt like it.
I don't know how you dealt withthat.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
So it's like this it's not about denying whatever
it is that you perceive, butrecognizing that it's all
helpful.
That's where it's changed tonot being a fearful thought.
Whatever it is that youperceive, it's like you know,
maybe someone looks angry,someone looks angry Hooray,
that's my immediate response.
(03:35):
Right, I'll occasionally nottoo often, but occasionally have
someone coming at me with atrigger, with judgment or
something like that, and insidemyself I'll be like, hooray,
I'll be happy about it, right,and it transforms everything,
because it's not justifying anythought that says this is bad,
(03:58):
right, or a person is unworthy.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, yes.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
That's one way to absorb the course.
It's in Spanish, so I'm goingto be bilingual by the time this
is over.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Porso de milagro.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
So, when we're recognizing that fear is not
justified that's why it's reallyeasy to shift back to creative
thoughts.
Right, it's like, yay, that's,that's great.
You know, like, like, if let'ssay uh, let's say you uh have
the perception that you're in acar accident, if you're, if
(04:42):
you're well trained becauseyou've been practicing like this
, you're going to be recognizingthat it's a blessing.
As soon as it happens, you'renot going to be going into oh
man, oh, this is bad.
That's what it means that fearis not justified in any form.
It's just really neverjustified.
It doesn't matter what the formof the thing is.
(05:03):
Okay, it could be yourperception of I don't know
what's going on with the newsthese days, but whatever
people's perception is of thenews, something happening in the
news oh, this is bad.
That's what this is pointing to.
This is how you live it in yourlife.
You go fear isn't justified inany form.
Holy Spirit, reinterpret thisfor me.
It must be a blessing,everything must be a blessing.
(05:26):
That's how it is right, andwhen we learn how to see this
way, we actually change theworld.
This is the only way to changethe world actually, because our
mind is projecting the world.
It's really the only way, andeventually more and more people
will be thinking like this andthe world will change.
You'll see it change.
These kinds of systems that weput in place won't hold anymore.
(05:49):
The reason why they do hold isbecause people are stubborn as
can be about this.
They want to believe that whatthey see is really there and
that it's real.
Okay, the way to see it is itseems to be there because of
thinking in a way that'suncreative, because this is what
(06:10):
you're doing when you justifyfear, it's because of this.
So do I want to add to it?
Do I want to add more to it ordo I want to change it?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I've been listening to Lisa Natoli during her 40
days.
First she said Jesus went intothe wilderness for 40 days and
he didn't have one miracle untilhe had left, because he
surrendered.
But the other thing was shetalked about forgiveness and she
said we have to completelyforgive Before.
(06:40):
What was the thing that youjust said?
I'm trying to remember the wordyou just used, oh, Before.
What was the thing that youjust said?
I'm trying to remember the wordyou just used In your previous
tiny talk.
You said we have to not create,create.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Creative stuff yes.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
We cannot create.
She said.
We have to completely forgiveand be in a state of complete
love, and then we are alignedwith the forces of creation and
it just comes right.
There has to be no judgment, noforgiveness.
All of that has to go, not onetiny iota, because if it remains
(07:19):
then we're not there.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Well, look at it like this All right, you're always
having a choice between creativethoughts and uncreative
thoughts.
Justifying fear is beinguncreative, even something that
says we're all going to die.
Let's say that everyone, who'severyone, is going to die, for
instance and you know, peopledefend that because it's it's,
it seems like it's going tohappen.
So they're defending it, butnot realizing how powerful our
(07:43):
mind is.
That seems like it's going tohappen, so they're defending it,
but not realizing how powerfulour mind is.
That's why I'm saying fear isnot justified.
You just recognize that it'snot justified and your mind has
changed.
You can see the creativethought like the Holy Spirit's
thoughts.
So it's just in this instancewhere you're accepting, you're
(08:03):
consenting to the Holy Spirit,taking away any thought that
makes fear justified, right,like I shouldn't be this way,
for instance.
So it's one thing, okay, flolooks frazzled.
It's another thing, flo,shouldn't be that way.
See, that's where fear getsjustified.
(08:23):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I feel so energized and excited.
I left the coherence classBefore that.
I had Scott doing a beautifultapping and then it was just
beautiful, but I just needed toeat, hunger, hunger.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, well, here's what it looks like, here's what.
Here's what it looks like whenI'm saying someone looks
frazzled, okay, it's like anidea that you're behind schedule
, right.
Kind of like I need to do thisreally fast and do this really
fast, and then being kind oflike apologetic about it too
sorry, I taste like chicken.
It's like, that's all right, Ilike chicken, you know, right,
right right, yeah yeah, yeah,and so it's just noticing, just
(09:14):
noticing, like, even that senseof, even that sense of being
rushed, even that sense of being, uh, any kind of apologetic,
anything like that it's.
It's just really it's not.
It's not that it's bad, you'rejust recognizing and I recognize
it for other people.
That's that's one way.
I just recognize it for otherpeople, whether I say something
or not, uh, it's recognizingthat that is not justified,
(09:36):
there's no justification rightFor it, and so and and so, in
that.
That's how you allow yourselfthe space to see how to, kind of
like, have a more calm andsmooth experience, which is what
you're going for.
That's why there's that feelinglike, there's a subtle and
(09:56):
maybe not so subtle feeling likeit shouldn't be this way.
And the thing is, it's that itshould be that way, just because
it's a reflection of thebalance of the thoughts that
you're choosing to follow Loveand fear, that's all.
So when you see more and moreokay, this is what it is, it's
the balance of these thoughtsyour thoughts start to calm down
(10:17):
and the expression calms downand then you can be, you know,
like in a slower, calmer way,which everyone wants.
I mean, I know everyone,everyone wants that because it
just feels peaceful.
It doesn't feel like the nervoussystem is so like shot.
You know they're just like ah,I got all the time in the world.
Yeah, oh yeah, oh, hey, hope,oh yeah, I'm having chicken
(10:39):
right now.
I'm going to probably cruiseinto your class, I don't know,
maybe about 05 or 10 after orsomething like.
You know what I mean.
It's just like it's a chillvibe.
It doesn't really matter whattime you're arriving, I can see
a cool dude saying that, mebeing like that Maybe one day?
Yeah, you can.
The more you choose creativethoughts, the more your nervous
(11:00):
system calms down and itactually expresses like that I
wasn't feeling like agitated orfrazzled, I was feeling grief.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
And then there was, and I had like seven minutes,
you were early and she's likeyou're going in the wrong
direction.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yep, I brought it up for you, didn't I?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I have to Darshan try really hard to stop me and pick
a card, but anyway, when I letgo and know God is doing it all,
I've had times when I'm amazedat how much I get done, because
I'm not worried, and then Ilooked it's earlier than I
thought because I wasn'tstressful and God's got me.
(11:41):
God does.
And wow, the gratitude for allthat we have here.
I don't want to miss it becauseI'm like this is phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yep, that's really how I'm feeling.
All right, well, thank you forsharing.
I love you.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I love you too.
I love to be here.
I was thrilled to come, really.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
So fear is deception?
Yeah, fear is deception.
That's what it is.
It's just saying that there's areason to be upset, there's a
reason to uh think thatsomething's gonna go wrong.
It's not a matter of what ifthis happens, like, let's say,
(12:21):
what if it rains on the day I'mhaving a picnic?
It's whether or not that makesit go wrong in your mind, right?
So that's the deception.
Nothing that occurs in theworld is a cause for fear.
It's just a habit to keep onmaking fear real, right?
So the ego is putting upsomething like if this happens,
(12:42):
it would be really bad.
Or because this happened it'sreally bad, or because that
person did this thing to mebefore.
Now I have this problem, right?
That's fear, that's thedeception.
So it meaning fear attests.
It attests.
That means it's like it's beinga witness.
(13:03):
It's witnessing to the ideathat you've seen yourself as you
could never be.
So you've seen yourself assmall, you've seen your mind as
powerless.
That's what it's sayingWhenever there's any kind of
fear, and that includes any kindof rush, any kind of hurry,
right?
Notice when, in your body'senergy field, when you feel
(13:26):
rushed, any kind of rush, anykind of hurry, right?
Notice when, in your body'senergy field when you feel
rushed, any kind of rushed,that's it.
That is deception.
That's saying you've seenyourself as you cannot possibly
be okay, wow.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Caught in the world of time, which isn't real.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
That's right.
And see, we're not saying thatthis is a bad thing.
We want to look at it so we cansee it and we can bring it to
the Holy Spirit.
You see what I mean?
I mean, I think it's awesome.
I'm so super glad whenever it'sbrought up, whether it comes up
in me, which it barely comes upin me anymore.
You know why?
Because I started looking at ita long time ago.
(14:02):
I had that kind of habit whereI would feel this sense of I'm
rushed, like I'm being pressedon, I have to hurry up or
something, and then.
And then here's how, here's howit was handled.
To give you some examples youknow, I come rolling into
wherever I'm supposed to be andthe idea might be that you know
I'm, I'm late or I'm whatever,I'm whatever, and I'm just
(14:26):
noticing in my body's energyfield, letting myself chill out.
Yeah, recognizing I'm always inthe right place at the right
time, right.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Right when I was younger, rising, five kids had a
full-time job.
Blah, blah, blah, but I had abelief.
I mean, and blah, blah, but Ihad a belief.
I mean, and it would come up.
I never had enough time.
And it was running all the timeand I came home from, I found
(14:59):
that if I came home from workand immediately changed clothes,
put on my shoes and got out thedoor and went for a walk, and
as I walked I would tell myselfI have plenty of time, I have
plenty of time.
And I changed that belief thatwas running the show to a new
(15:20):
belief, which was I have plentyof time.
And everything smoothed out.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
a new belief, which was.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I had plenty of time and everything smoothed out and
as I started to feel that I hadplenty of time, I didn't feel
that rush.
I didn't feel that pressureBecause it was a belief, that
was an unconscious, unwatchedbelief.
(15:46):
And when I saw it unwatchedbelief, right.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
And when I saw it, I was able to convert Right.
You were young.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
You didn't have all these years.
Well, I was never young, honey.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I've never been young .
I've never been young.
We're ancient, ageless.
We're all ancient and ageless.
We're all young with littlechildren.
Yes, Everywhere is very amazing.
Yes, yes, so, yeah.
So Carla was just sharing abouthow she changed from I don't
have enough time to I haveplenty of time and she would
(16:14):
feel it in her body's energyfield.
You feel it first before youstart perceiving it on the
surface.
That's why, in the example Igave, you know, and I just go
okay, whatever time I get there,I'm going to be okay with it.
I'm not going to be apologizing, I'm just going to show up and
say yes, here I am.
You know, and in all kinds ofdifferent ways, you know when I
(16:37):
used to come from.
There was a lot of events, likethere's a lot of events here,
and people would get used toseeing me at events.
So sometimes someone would comeup to me and go you weren't at
the event last night and thenormal thing to do would be to
lament that you're not onno-transcript and then that was
the end of it.
No, I wasn't.
(17:04):
No excuse Nothing, just no, Iwasn't See.
So it's like you play withstuff like that, you know.
So it's like when you see meand I'm like, hey, flo, flo's
going the opposite way there's,you know, and I'm being
facetious with Flo, I'm like,hey, flo, you're going the wrong
way, you know, you know, and soand so then there's like
(17:28):
there's a reaction when thathappens.
So this is so, this is whereyou notice it, this is, this is
where you cause it'll comearound again and probably really
soon, and this is where youknow it is yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's like you, you youwitness, you sit there and you
(17:52):
witness a calming in your, inyour energy field.
You witness that.
Okay.
So when you're when, whenyou're taken off guard and
that's what a trigger is it'slike you're taken off guard, you
run into a pattern.
So that's what a trigger is.
It's like you're taken offguard, you run into a pattern.
So that's what happened rightthere.
You just ran into a pattern,right so?
So so it's not, it's not ashake your head.
No, oh no, oh, poor me.
No, it's not like that, it'slike awesome.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I'm glad I see yeah, I felt like you just put me into
a parallel reality.
I met you and I was so cool.
Want a piece of chicken?
I should have said, and itwould have been cool.
Yeah, it'll be done in a fewminutes.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
It was totally cool.
See, you're seeing these thingsnow and we're talking about it,
and the next time it happens,you're going to be more aware
and more aware, and more aware,until you're going to notice the
shift.
And when you notice the shift,like that, that's how you know.
Oh, this is my power, this ismy power right here.
(18:50):
It's like, yeah, I don't haveto run into a pattern.
See, everyone can take fromthis and learn from it.
That's why it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Thank you for doing that I'm transitioning, I still
slip a little bit.
That was good.
Thank you, oh you're doingawesome.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
So fear attests that you have.
See what it's showing you.
You've seen yourself as youcould never be, something that
could be rushed, something thatcould be late, something that
could be a powerless mind, andthat's why it's attesting to
that.
That's why you demonstrate toyourself that it has no
justification, no justificationat all, and that's what makes
(19:25):
you look upon a world which isimpossible.
It's like the world's demandingsomething of you, for instance,
right, if anyone seems to bedemanding, or the world there
seems to be conflict or anythinglike that.
You've seen yourself as youcannot be, and that's why you
look on a world which isimpossible.
(19:48):
I'm upset because I see what isnot there, or I'm upset because
I see a meaningless world.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Right, right, yeah, and, and, and you know.
So this is talking about.
You see a world that'simpossible, because you saw
yourself as you could never be.
That's right.
You didn't.
You saw yourself as somethingless than the son of god.
That's the thing.
Not one thing in this world istrue.
(20:19):
I like that line.
Not one thing in this world istrue.
We're totally making it up,right, and yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
He wronged me, he's guilty.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Right, we got a whole court system about it who's
wrong, who's right and who'swrong, who takes who's wrong?
Who's right and who's wrong,who takes the blame?
Who's better, who's worse?
Right, there's only one of us.
There's only one of us.
So that's why, you know, one ofmy friends asked me uh,
yesterday or the day before sheasked me because she was telling
she was saying that it's uh,it's not compassionate to not
(20:58):
feel angry, like feeling angryis compassionate to her, and I
said, oh, okay, well, that'sawesome.
You know, like I'm not arguingwith people, that's not what I
do.
But she knew that it would goagainst the things that I say,
and so she asked me do you stilllike me?
And I'm like, of course I do.
You're just like anyone elsethat arises in my consciousness.
(21:21):
You're.
Actually, everything you say iscoming from me, of course,
right, of course I like you.
You could say anything to me,right?
You could tell me I'm the worstperson.
It's still the same thing to me, you know, because there's only
one of us.
So not one thing in this worldis true and one way you could
look at that too none of thesebodies, nothing that they seem
(21:42):
to be doing, the way they'rerepresenting to you.
That is not how they are.
They're actually beams of light.
All of us are just beams oflight.
So the way we've made eachother good or bad, we tell good
stories about people too, andalso hurt ourselves with the
good stories we tell about them,because then what I miss you,
(22:02):
I'm going to miss you, forinstance, right.
Yeah, that's deception Alsoright.
Yeah.
So you know, sometimes some ofmy friends go I'm not, I know
I'm not supposed to say this,but I'm going to miss you and
I'm like.
I'm like, no, it's not thatyou're not supposed to say it,
it's okay.
Anything can be used by theHoly Spirit.
(22:24):
What you're recognizing.
You know I don't say anythinglike that because it's not true
to me.
It's just not true to me.
When people tell me they missme, I let them know I love them.
I'm like I love you.
You know, it's not like you'renot supposed to say it, it's
just that recognizing when yousay you miss me, that has no
justification in reality.
It actually has nojustification in reality.
(22:50):
You've made yourself intosomething that's not true and so
now you're perceiving theseimages and it's as if you need
to try to keep any image.
You can't let the image passaway.
Everything is really arisingand passing away in your
experience.
When you recognize that's whatis going on.
If you feel and you get thesense that you miss someone,
it's not bad to say that.
(23:11):
Just come back to this.
Missing is fear.
Fear is not justified in anyform.
I must have seen myself in away.
That's not true.
It's not like you're bad fordoing that, but let's just be
honest about what's happeninghere.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Right, because you think there's loss, but there
isn't loss, right.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Well, it's also wishing things were different
than they are.
Right, good point, yeah, it'strue.
Good point it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, it's a really good point.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I had a gentleman friend who lived in a different
town and he was always sayinghow he missed me and he didn't
like it.
I didn't say it back but Ifinally said I am not going to
live my here now wishing it wasdifferent than it is Because I
just want to appreciate the herenow.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah, and other people they're allowed to miss.
It's not like you're makingthem guilty or wrong or anything
.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
But don't make me wrong, I'm not going to go there
with you.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I'm not going to missing with you.
Yes, yes, and, and and you knowthat's another thing too is is
that we learn too?
Is we get to enjoy perceivinganyone trying to make us wrong?
I get a kick out of it myself,I really do.
Whenever anyone I'm like, I'mjust like, that's so sweet, it's
(24:42):
care To me.
I look, I look past theillusion and go that's care,
that's so sweet, they care,right.
Well, they feel they're lookingthrough a lens, that they're
looking at themselves in a waythey could never be and they're
projecting to me that they wantme to be a certain way.
Think like they do.
(25:03):
I'm like oh, that's so sweet.
You know how many times I'veheard people tell me that I'm
ruining something because I'mnot political.
It's fucking hilarious.
I'm just like oh, that's sosweet, thank you.
I say thank you to them.
I say thank you, that's sosweet.
And sometimes I tell them howdo you know I would vote the way
you wanted me to if I wasvoting?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
You might know, maybe we're a little hard on the pet
owners.
For example, and somebody elsesaid they don't care.
(25:50):
And there was another issuewith the Miradors.
Maybe we're a little hard onso-and-so.
They don't care Because theyjust take it in.
They know it's not real, it'sjust.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Maybe they change, maybe they don't.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Right.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Yes, yes, and I haven't thought of it that way.
But yeah, what you're saying isexactly right.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
For me to feel bad about being criticized is
irrelevant, yeah, and you lookat it like this it's coming from
your own mind, so that you candemonstrate that it has no basis
in reality.
Basically, just like thislesson says it's not justified,
so it not being justifieddoesn't mean that condemnation
(26:41):
is now justified.
Like, don't make me wrong, forinstance.
That is also a form of control,right.
So it's trying to control theform.
It's not like go ahead, make mewrong, I fucking love it.
It's impossible for me to bewrong, right and love it.
(27:04):
It's impossible for me to bewrong, right, and that really
changes things, because the egoputs out all these fearful
things Like what, if?
Like for me.
You know, I've been spiritualteaching over in Hawaii for 11
years.
What if your whole communityhates you?
All of a sudden, you know theego will actually put a thought
out like that and you know whatI'll be like.
That'll be fucking awesome,because whatever happens is
perfect for my awakening.
(27:25):
That's what I want.
So I want whatever it is, andthen that quiets the ego down,
basically quiets my nervoussystem down.
I'm facing everything withopenness.
I don't mind how many peoplelike me, I don't mind whatever
it is that occurs.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I had a big realization the other day, when
I realized, of course, everybodyhere is a piece of me.
I'm trying to pull it all backtogether.
This is what unity is, this iswhat loving is.
Bring it all back.
So if I see somebody what Iwould consider judging me, it's
(28:04):
me judging me.
Some part of me says, oh, flo,you talk too much, or blah, blah
.
And then somebody appears,seems to appear to say that to
me yeah, gratitude, and I'm thepart of you that's always on
time.
That was my father, thewatchmaker, the clockmaker, yeah
(28:29):
.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah.
So so, being thankful gratitude, just extend gratitude for no
matter what anyone does, nomatter what anyone says, and
you'll see, you can't even helpit.
It turns things around reallyfast because people are
expecting you to be resistingthem.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
I'm looking forward now to the next opportunity
where I feel myself going, youknow, and I'm just going to go
into it and say, oh, wow, yeah,no, I can choose a different way
to respond here.
Let me think.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
You always can yeah, and be okay if you don't.
If you go into patterning, yeah, but at least you become aware
of who I caught that.
You might need to see it for awhile before you're actually
able to do it, so yeah, to staycalm enough.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, thankyou.
Yeah, all to stay calm enough.
(29:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, thankyou.
Yeah, all right, not one thingin this world is true, hooray,
for that, we can make itanything we want.
It does not matter what the formin which it may appear.
That's what we've been talkingabout.
Whatever form it appears in,that's perfect for us.
What if this happened?
My older son said what if you?
What if my other son, what ifBron ends up just staying here
(29:43):
doing the same thing, playingvideo games in his room?
And he's 35, and I go, it'll befucking awesome, just like it
is right now.
Right, whatever it is, itdoesn't matter, there's not
anything to be scaring, there'snot anything fearful.
Whatever form it arises doesnot matter.
Whatever form it appears in, itwitnesses.
It witnesses, but to your ownillusions of yourself.
(30:08):
Everything, okay.
So it's like, not one thing inthis world is true.
It does not matter what theform in which it may appear, it
witnesses, but to your ownillusions of yourself.
So everything in this world iswitnessing to your illusions of
yourself.
(30:29):
Right, today I went to thedentist.
The dentist was so nice andkind.
Right, I apply A Course inMiracles, even to this
perception that the dentist isnice and kind, right, he is
reflecting an illusion of myself.
That's what I need to know.
This isn't real.
So it's not like oh, thankgoodness he was kind and he
wasn't a dick, it was just likehe's.
That's an illusion, everysingle thing.
(30:51):
There's nothing here that'strue, good and bad.
It's reflecting an illusion ofyourself in all of our
imaginationsinations, let's say,and in a different way, because
we're all having a uniqueperception, right?
So it's so.
It's like yes, it exists.
As far as your power to makesomething is projecting it in
(31:15):
this, into the field, it's byyour power that you're able to
perceive it.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
But we all have a shared experience at this room.
Yes, we do yes so we're alllooking at it from a different
angle.
You see the table from that way.
I see the table from this way,but the table exists.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Well, there's an idea there.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Not in reality.
So let's say if you take byreality, let's say eternity, it
doesn't exist in eternity, right?
Everything that's here arisesand passes away.
That's why it's saying not oneof it, is true, not one of it.
This is not, doesn't havereality.
It's real to us because webelieve in what we made.
(31:59):
We made this up and weautomatically are believing in
what we made, right?
So we can't go, while webelieve in what we made, say
that table's not really thereand try to walk through it,
right, because we're going tobump into it, apparently.
And that only attests to it,doesn't attest to the table's
(32:21):
real, it attests to our power.
Our mind is so powerful to makethings that seem real, right?
That's the difference.
That's a different way oflooking at it.
It doesn't make it real.
Point it back to the power ofyour own mind.
See, what the ego would haveyou do is diminish the power of
your mind by making the thingsyou made have a separate reality
(32:44):
, apart from your mind, as ifyou didn't just make it.
You can make things appear veryreal because you never lost the
power of creation, and in adream, that's making things that
are temporary.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
So we took that power of eternal creation and we
limited it into athree-dimensional context.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Yes, and we're making something temporary.
That's why Jesus is saying herenot one thing in this world is
true, not one thing is true.
So that's just like saying,because it's temporary, because
our true creations Istemporarily true, okay, we can
go with that Temporarily true,she said is it temporarily true?
(33:27):
Yes, but your mind isn'ttemporary, your mind is eternal.
So that's why we want to getback to our true creations,
which are also eternal, becausethat's the only way that we have
true happiness.
No suffering, no pain.
We all go through sufferingshere, to different degrees,
(33:48):
depending on the balance of howmuch we choose creative thoughts
over miscreative thoughts.
But we all go through pain andsuffering here.
We don't want that forourselves or for anyone else.
We want to get back to creatingand that's why we're changing
the way we're looking at thethings that we made.
Instead of giving them power oftheir own, we're bringing the
(34:11):
power back to our mind.
It's everything in this worldthat looks like it's here that
attests to only the power of ourmind.
And see, what it's saying hereis it's attesting to you
thinking, you having seenyourself as what you could never
be.
That's your mind power, right?
(34:32):
So you're recognizing that.
It's your mind's power makingit, then that's showing you you
can actually redirect thatenergy.
It's energy, it's psychicenergy.
You can actually redirect thatenergy toward creation.
Wow, were you in the classyesterday, carla?
No, I fell asleep.
(34:52):
Oh, we were doing psychicenergy.
It's recorded.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Okay, yeah, it's recorded.
Well, I'm going back, I'mtwirling in my mind.
Yeah, james did a lesson oneday last week where this idea of
projection, yeah, and the lightof truth and the divine shines
(35:17):
through my consciousness toproject this world that I see
and your conscious, that lightis coming through your
consciousness to project theworld that you see just the same
, but you see it a littledifferent because your
(35:37):
consciousness, your personality,all of that enters into the
projection.
But the light is who I reallyam.
Yeah, we're all that, but thelight is what I really am, not
the consciousness that it'sgoing through, nor the
projection that I'm living outhere.
Yes, that makes sense andthat's how our mind is shared
(35:57):
that we'm living out here.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yes, that makes sense and that's how our mind is
shared, that we're all thatlight.
That's where we share.
That's where we actually share.
We don't share our projections,we can only project our
projections.
That part of our mind isn'treally shared, it's just
projected.
That's why when we sink back,it's kind of like sinking back
(36:22):
or detachment.
It's been called back into thelight.
That's where we share witheveryone and that's why it's
like.
You know, I'll be like with theego thought, I don't mind if
people don't like me, right, butwhat happens is they
automatically do.
They can't help it, because Ishare my mind with them, I share
(36:42):
the light with them.
I don't resist them.
It just automatically does that.
The only way people cancontinue to not like me is to
stay away from me and be notliking me in their mind over and
over and over again, becausewhen they get around me, there's
a shared like a brotherhood,it's like automatic.
It's like it's a brotherhoodbecause I know the light behind
(37:04):
all of their projections.
So, whatever they project ontome, I'm happy about that.
Thank you, you know, just in athank you kind of way.
Shared mind, so it does notmatter what form.
Okay that, let us not bedeceived today.
So with this lesson today,we're gonna choose.
(37:27):
We're giving consent to notbeing deceived.
We're seeing everything as ablessing and no and no
justification for fear.
Say someone, someoneovercharges you, thank you still
.
Even if there's hey, I thinkyou charged me too much, there's
still gratitude in that.
(37:48):
Or I think you charged me toolittle here.
Let me give you some more money.
All right, let us not bedeceived today.
We are the sons of God.
There's only one of us.
We're all the same.
We share the same mind.
We are the same light.
It's not like we can be lessthan right.
(38:12):
We were talking about missingpeople.
That's saying that we're notthe sons of God.
If we're missing someone, andagain, it's not bad.
I know this is hard for peoplebecause they'll be like I need
to miss people, I'm justified inmissing people.
Okay, you know the lesson.
Yeah, the lesson, yes, yeah,it's not going to change my love
(38:33):
for you.
Don't worry about that, becauseeverything that everyone needs
to learn will be learned.
It's not up to us to correctanyone.
The Holy Spirit does all thecorrecting.
Sometimes the Holy Spirit usesour voice, but just knowing in
our body, in our body's energyfield, in our heart.
(38:53):
We don't have to correct anyone.
All we do is accept.
The Holy Spirit teaches us.
The Holy Spirit is lending usHis mind to show us to just
accept whatever it is anyone'sdoing or saying.
That's like the healing balmthere is no fear in us.
(39:14):
It says there is no fear in us.
Okay, so how could that be, itsays, for we are each a part of
love itself.
So when we perceive fear inourselves, we're misperceiving.
There's actually no fear in us.
Some people tell me they'reafraid to be alone at night.
(39:35):
Right, and I've had that too,like when I was a kid oh my gosh
, I'd be so scared to be alonein a house or anything like that
.
But through practicing A Coursein Miracles and recognizing we
don't actually are not evencapable of having any fear,
we're actually believingsomething that's not true and
(39:57):
projecting ourselves as if we'refearful.
We're actually, in truth, notcapable of even being afraid.
So you can use that anytime youseem to feel afraid and notice
how I said seem to feel afraidbecause it's not true.
It's like it's on a projectorEven being afraid of, let's say,
(40:21):
having a disease, or afraidsomeone else is going to die, or
afraid because your kid's ondrugs or whatever.
I've shared with people beforeabout my daughter being on
cocaine.
Apparently, she's off cocainenow because her nose is almost
completely collapsed.
So she's like all right, that'senough cocaine.
But I was talking to peopleabout my daughter being on
(40:42):
cocaine.
They're like you're justsharing about it, like that.
You're just like.
You're just like matter of factabout it.
You're not even bummed outabout it.
I'm like there's just nothingto be afraid of, right, and I
reflect that back to her too.
I'm like there's nothing to beafraid of, like if your nose
collapses, then that's not a badthing of Like.
If your nose collapses, thenthat's not a bad thing.
(41:02):
You're still perfect, you'restill the Holy Son of God.
There's nothing wrong, right.
So it's like once she makes thedecision apparently made the
decision that oh, you know what,I'm going to just really have
to stop doing that because Idon't want my nose to collapse.
Like I'm a pretty girl, I wantto keep my nose whatever.
The situation is right.
But it's a matter ofrecognizing.
There's no fear in us If I, asa mom, feel scared that my
(41:25):
daughter's on cocaine.
I bring it to the truth, I'm notreally her mom for one.
I mean there's all kinds ofHoly Spirit thoughts that come
in.
She's not really your kid,you're not really her mom,
there's no thing in the worldthat could change anything about
people being the son of God,and it really does change your
mind.
You know, when you're sincereabout it it really does change
(41:49):
your mind.
So then these perceptions cancome up and you're not affected.
You're not being affected bythings in the world.
There's no need for that.
We're not trying to change theperception.
We're not trying to controlanyone.
We're not trying to control theworld.
We're letting things roll outthe way they do and being happy
(42:09):
about it.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
That shift is a big one for me.
You know, I know where you'recoming from.
To see people dying in Gaza.
You know, to see I won't goover the list, right, it's
really difficult to.
It's like what happened.
I don't want to lose my senseof compassion for people, but
(42:32):
look, there's no.
On the other hand, I understandthis.
Okay, I understand now thatactually thinking that way not
only does it not solve theproblem, it keeps it going,
because I'm keeping it active inmy imagination to project more
of it out there.
Right, I'm seeing it now, andI'm seeing now the only way that
(42:56):
they'll be healing.
I heard today just being in thestate of love and forgiveness
for myself for 10 minutes.
Thousands of other people areactually affected by my shifting
my energy into this highervibration.
You know that's the way to heal.
Yeah, to remember to bring itback, and not only bring it back
(43:20):
the healing Truth, bring it up,bring it out.
Not to deny fear either, though, my first class this morning
was the tapping that I did withScott.
You know Scott Mm-hmm, and hewas saying to someone in the
room it's good, you'rerecognizing it.
It reminds me of Rumi, theguest house.
(43:42):
Bring in all your feelings.
I don't want to sidestep it thecourse of love.
The chapter we read wastenderness.
That word itself brings me intofeeling tender about everything
here, myself.
It's tenderness toward myself.
(44:03):
That's where love comes from.
Tenderness, that's right.
And you know, I feel a need forcold.
Okay, now it's time to stoptalking.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
That's enough talking , all right.
So you mentioned the thingabout Gaza and compassion, okay,
so I wanted to talk on that fora minute.
So when you get the perceptionof something like that, it's not
like trying to push theperception away.
You know, your eyes and yourears and your hands and your
feet are needed here for undoingthese illusions.
(44:39):
So the compassion is inrecognizing that there is a
sense.
If there's a sense of pain orfrustration or anything like
that, you'll give it over tocreation.
You'll use that power.
That's saying something's wrong, right?
Because that's the remember.
Fear is not justified.
It's not justified.
It comes up.
(44:59):
It's not justified.
Why is it not justified?
Number one no one is reallysuffering.
No one's really suffering.
This is a Holy Spirit thought.
No one's actually suffering.
I'm making that up right now.
Everyone is getting exactlywhat they need, no matter what
it seems to be.
This is actually compassion,but the ego would not look at
(45:20):
this as compassion.
Everyone is getting what theyneed to see, what they need to
see to undo the world forthemselves, right?
So the ego would look at thisas not being compassionate, that
it's right to be angry, thatit's right to be fearful, that
it's right to say someone'swrong for doing this, but this
(45:41):
lesson is pointing to fear isnot justified in any form.
So this is how we actually helpthe whole world Everyone in the
whole world is by recognizingthat they are actually living
exactly what they need so theycan undo the whole cause of
separation.
Everyone has their perfect pathfor this.
Speaker 2 (46:05):
I heard the term false empathy yep, false empathy
goes with this it took.
I said how could empathy befalse to feel for somebody else?
But if this isn't true, thenthat right.
Speaker 1 (46:19):
See, that's.
That's what this lesson ispointing to.
This is not mincing words.
Here, fear is not justified inany form.
It's one thing to feel it, onlyto feel it, so that you can
recognize it's not justified andhand it over to the holy spirit
.
It's not about wallowing in it.
Okay, uh, tapping is fun, butit's never going to heal.
(46:40):
That's the thing we're gettingtripped off on different things
that we believe that it makes usfeel better.
It's okay, it's okay on thebody.
Speaker 2 (46:48):
It's the mind that really has to.
Speaker 1 (46:50):
That's right, it's okay.
You could be tapping on thebody and going okay, help me see
that this fear is not justified.
Though it's one thing to sootheyourself, nothing's wrong with
it but this isn't the same thingas healing self Nothing's wrong
with it, but this isn't thesame thing as healing.
And there's a lot of teachingsthat are going along with just
(47:11):
keeping this fearful feelingbecause it's justified.
It's not justified.
Thank you, sal.
That's the thing.
The fear is never justified,and most therapies, including
psychotherapy, is all aboutreally keeping that fear in a
form, keeping it going.
You don't want to keep it.
Don't falsely identify withthis Empathy.
Speaker 2 (47:36):
Empathy is saying that what someone else is
feeling is justified, so I'mgoing to feel it with them, like
you're having empathy for yourfriend missing you or something,
and then thinking you need torespond oh, I miss you too.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
Right, it's actually recognizing that the person's
missing is not justified.
So it's not like, oh, I feelbad for them or I feel sorry for
them.
If you feel sorry for them,it's not bad.
This is where you recognizefeeling sorry for them is not
justified.
You use that psychic energythat you're projecting toward
(48:11):
feeling sorry.
Give it to the Holy Spirit soit can be redirected toward
healing.
That's what we want.
Okay, all right, let's go tothe next part.
How foolish are fears, right?
Wow, see See how.
But see, see, see how.
But see how.
That's right.
Laughing about the fearsInstead of trying to give them
(48:34):
some kind of therapy?
Right, you don't need all this.
You don't need all this stuff.
It's a matter of giving thisfear over to the Holy Spirit.
See, the ego wants you runningaround in fear repeatedly.
We can be totally resolved ofall this.
Would you allow your son tosuffer?
(48:57):
It's not God's will that you'rein fear, right?
It's like would you allow that?
How foolish are fears?
Would you allow your son tosuffer?
This is a prayer.
Give us faith today torecognize your son.
So this is the son that cannotbe hurt.
Look, apply this to the peoplein Gaza, for instance.
(49:18):
Give us the faith today torecognize your son in the people
in Gaza, that they're your son.
So how is it going to help them?
Or me?
By feeling bad for them Right?
Or by taking see?
See, all these, all thesetherapies are saying that fear
is justified in trying to workon the fear Right.
(49:41):
So it's trying to work with itExternal and forget where the
causes, right, that we're thecause of everything, right.
Speaker 2 (49:44):
So it's trying to work with it Fix the external
and forget where the cause isRight, that we're the cause of
everything, right?
Speaker 1 (49:48):
So when you use any kind of therapy, just use it in
that way.
That includes block therapy,that includes tapping therapy.
Anything that you're doing, useit in that way.
Now notice, many times theteacher of it is not saying
something like that because theydon't know.
They don't know.
You got to know this foryourself.
You got to be wholly in thiswith Jesus, with yourself,
(50:11):
because so many times otherpeople are not going to be
reflecting that to you, and thatincludes many, many teachers.
Speaker 2 (50:18):
Okay, turn the black therapy into not just physical
therapy, but you're in ameditative, internal state while
you're, with whatever the painis.
Speaker 1 (50:27):
Well, look, nothing in this real world is true.
My body isn't true, neither isthe block right.
It's not true.
This fear, pain, what we'reable to access with the block,
apparently right, pain thatwe're able to access is actually
fear.
This fear isn't justified.
(50:47):
Yeah, it's not justified, yes,yeah.
So what we're doing is we'redoing a practice where we're
bringing up fear, basically, andbreathing with it and
recognizing we don't have tokeep it.
It's not justified.
See how all these things seemto be justified.
It's like, oh, you're aging,that's why you should be in this
(51:09):
much pain.
Like, no, it's not justified.
Actually, I'm going to takethis block and I'm just going to
bring it out.
I'm going to look at it andrecognize and breathe with it,
and it's not justified.
See all therapy, using alltherapy, like that, like when
you use, when you listen tovideos of block therapy.
Deanna doesn't know that whenshe's talking about block
therapy, she's all about itbeing physical, right.
(51:30):
So a lot of the times I go to asatsang went to a satsang
recently At the satsang, theperson doing the satsang is
basically saying that death isinevitable.
At the satsang she's likegiving us a miscreation thought.
You know, we have to be holywithin ourselves, having faith
(51:52):
that the truth is true, so wecan overlook these things and
actually use them to direct ourmind toward creation, rather
than being wallowing inmiscreation with everyone in the
world.
We're projecting all thesepeople that are apparently in
miscreation.
So we have to be, like it'slike, singular within ourselves,
(52:14):
knowing what's true, because wecan't be expecting the world to
reflect it.
The world's reflecting what wethought was true.
Right, this is how we'redemonstrating it to ourself.
Give us faith to recognize yourson and set him free.
We don't want to keep the peoplein Gaza imprisoned.
(52:36):
We want to set them free.
Right, we don't want to sootheourselves because we're happy
with the belief that says we'reprivileged because we're over
here and they're over there.
See, that's a, that's a bigthing.
People guilt themselves forbeing privileged.
(52:57):
No one's better off than anyone.
Everyone's dealing with thesame thing.
Everyone's dealing with theirown illusions.
No, there's no.
There's no haves and have nots.
That's not true.
No one is better off, no one isworse off.
That's a big, a big thing thatpeople bring to suffering.
So people go and do differenttherapies uh, psychotherapy, uh,
(53:19):
childhood regression, all thesedifferent things but keep the
idea that they're privileged.
Right, there's also the idea.
Now, that's the idea thatthey're privileged.
Oh yeah, right.
There's also the idea, nowthat's going around, that you're
privileged based on your skincolor Right, it's all worldly
ego bullshit.
If we're saying that we'reprivileged, we're depreciating
(53:39):
the power of our mind and we'redepreciating the power of
everyone's mind.
We're saying that we're stuckbased on appearances.
We're not stuck on appearances.
Our mind is making theappearances.
We can change it.
Speaker 2 (53:54):
So I say to myself, why would I want to be in this
world where there's constantdeath?
I think Reverend Penny said theother day it's not that it will
change, it is change.
It came to change.
Everything here came to pass.
That's right, it all came topass.
So I wonder why I get so caughtin it.
(54:17):
I'm stepping away and observingit now Good, like above the
battleground, that's it.
You know, but you got this.
How does it still draw me in?
It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (54:29):
You're choosing.
You're making a choice.
Every instant is a holyinstance where you're making a
choice.
Speaker 2 (54:37):
I think I'm getting pulled back or I have a problem.
My seat just got mold.
I just have to go and I'm notthere.
Take that energy away, becausethe energy will materialize.
We sing in unity, our thoughts,our prayers, and we are always
praying.
Speaker 1 (54:57):
That's it.
Okay, let's keep going.
Each mind is creating their ownreality.
Speaker 3 (55:02):
She created the loss of her casino.
I created blah, blah, blah.
We each created.
Speaker 1 (55:08):
Yeah, you could say made it up because this isn't
creation.
And the reason why we'relooking at the words like that
is because there's a hugedifference between a projected
world and creation.
So creation is eternal.
So each of us made a world up,a whole world that we perceive.
(55:29):
Now you could look at it.
Speaker 3 (55:32):
We didn't create it.
Speaker 1 (55:33):
Right, yeah, made it up, projected same thing.
Speaker 3 (55:36):
God initially created us.
Right, that's a creation.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
That's a creation right.
Speaker 3 (55:42):
All of this is a projection.
Speaker 1 (55:43):
All of this is a projection.
Speaker 3 (55:44):
We each have our own individual projection Right.
Can I influence?
Speaker 1 (55:48):
your projection.
Sure, I have to let you, thoughI have to choose, right.
It's interesting.
Yeah, yeah, I have to choose.
And love has very stronginfluence, way stronger than the
fear influence.
That's the thing.
That's why, when we jointogether, it's very powerful.
(56:08):
We just join with anotherperson's mind, and that's you
know.
You very easily join withpeople all the way in Gaza
because you recognize the powerof their mind.
That's true compassion.
You're recognizing the power oftheir mind.
It may take you to see thesethoughts over and over again.
It's like they're makingexactly what they need to make.
(56:30):
They're perceiving what theyneed to perceive.
All of us.
Whatever we're perceiving, it'sa blessing.
When we see it another way, wekeep them in prison, and that's
why it says here let us forgivehim in your name.
This is forgiveness that we mayunderstand his holiness.
We want to understandeveryone's holiness, right?
So forgive your illusions ofthem, forgive your idea that
(56:55):
they are being victimized byanyone.
So pity and compassion arefalse.
What is it?
Speaker 3 (57:01):
Pity or compassion.
Speaker 1 (57:03):
Well, true, compassion is strong.
It's strength, it's recognizingthe holiness in someone, right,
even though they seem tobelieve that they shouldn't be
in the situation they're in.
Let's say, like if someone saysI miss you, that's where it is,
you see, where the compassioncomes in, because they're
(57:23):
expressing pain and they'rejustifying pain.
They might not even recognizethat that's what's going on.
Speaker 3 (57:29):
So how do we feel about us then when we see
something like that happening?
What's an inappropriate way oflooking at it?
That's truthful.
Speaker 1 (57:39):
That they are having exactly the experience they need
to bring their mind to thetruth.
And the Holy Spirit has them asfar as their teacher, just like
us.
So we're all the same.
So that's when you see, thecompassion comes through.
Because the person believes.
The other person maybe believes, or maybe in your imagination
(58:02):
they believe because you don'tknow anyone from Gaza, maybe.
Maybe in your imagination theybelieve because you don't know
anyone from Gaza.
Maybe, and you know, youbelieve that they are.
You get the sense that they'resuffering.
You bring that thought to thetruth.
There's no justification forfear.
So you bring that thought tothe truth.
In truth, no one's suffering.
Yes, in an illusion people aresuffering.
That's why compassion isnecessary.
Speaker 2 (58:24):
You know we think that dying is some kind of a
horrible thing, but it happenshere and truthfully, I know now
we don't even have to die.
Yeah, but I saw something in aflash that was so.
St Jude Children's Hospital,this four-year-old girl in the
arms of her mother had no hair,she was dying.
(58:44):
And you know, know.
First the camera's on themother and you see she's
suffering.
When the camera turns, thelittle four-year-old is
comforting her mother.
She was so totally lit withlight and completely okay with
everything.
Four year, not even threefour-year-old, not even three
(59:07):
four-year-old.
I choose comfort in a mother.
Speaker 1 (59:09):
Yeah, that's the way to really look at it.
That's the way to look at it.
You know the people.
They need comfort.
They need comfort and thecomfort comes in, knowing that
everything's okay.
That's truly compassionate.
Speaker 3 (59:22):
Well, sometimes the reason that visitors wear sick
people, sick people out isbecause the sick person is
trying to make the visitor feelbetter, Because they feel so bad
.
They think they feel so bad forthe sick person.
But that brings up then thisneed for the sick person to
(59:47):
comfort.
Speaker 2 (59:49):
Oh the healthy.
How does that happen?
Speaker 3 (59:55):
Compassion is strange , sorrowful that they don't
understand their true condition.
So what is compassion?
Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
It's recognizing that it's all love, it's all truth,
it's all light.
The Holy Spirit has them, it'sall the Holy Spirit's thoughts
that the thoughts are giving you.
It's compassion to recognizethere's no justification for
fear.
There's actually nojustification for fear.
That puts a light in the mind.
So when I look at God, how do Ilook at it?
(01:00:26):
Notice that there's nojustification for any fear about
anything that's going on there,that it's all guided and it's
all perfect.
Okay, it's reflecting whatpeople thought of themselves.
Your perception of it is whatyou made of yourself.
You know, to see it like thatchanges the mind because it
(01:00:50):
shines a light in the whole mind.
It lights up the whole mind,right, and so then you actually
connect with those peoplebecause you're joined with them
and you're aware that they'restill all powerful mind.
Speaker 3 (01:01:06):
Right, so you can be moved to help them physically,
sure.
Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
Yeah, there could be physical helping, in that that
doesn't mean that there wouldn'tbe physical helping.
You could be sending donations,who knows?
You go over there whatever thesituation is.
But the main thing is thatyou're willing to see that
there's no justification forfear in any form, so you're not
(01:01:30):
letting yourself get upset andbelieving that that upset is
caused by what's going on overthere, because remember, it
still applies You're never upsetfor the reason you think.
You're upset because you seewhat isn't there.
No one is truly suffering.
These bodies are not real.
Okay, so you start from that andthen let actions come out of
(01:01:54):
that.
Let your actions come from that.
All right, so we're almostthere.
Let us forgive him in your name, that we may understand his
holiness and feel the love forhim, which is your own as in
God's own.
We want to feel the love forhim which is God's love for him.
(01:02:16):
So, people in Gaza, for instanceagain, we want to feel how God
feels about them.
We want to feel that love forthem.
That does not include feelingsorry for them.
That's projecting fear.
So that's adding to theirapparent struggles, because we
influence each other right andthey may be making a choice for
(01:02:38):
fear.
It's likely that a lot of themare making a choice for fear and
that's why they're having suchan intense perception in the
first place.
So they need help, these kindsof intense perceptions.
For most of the people who arehaving the intense perception,
there are certainly moreenlightened people in the same
area.
Know what they're doing andhaving an intense perception,
(01:02:59):
know why they're there.
You know what's going on.
But for the majority of peoplethat are having that intense
perception, they don't know.
They don't understand that thepower of their mind is actually
making that illusion for them,see, so we want to feel the way
God feels about them, so that wecan join with their mind and
(01:03:22):
look on the power of their mind,that they could see how
powerful they are as well andchange their mind, and that'll
change everything, it'll ignitesomething within them, right,
our being, the light of theworld, that's it Ignites it.
Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
They recognize it, they don't know how, and
something somehow that shifts.
Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
Yeah, everyone is going to shift.
Each one of us is like a pieceto the puzzle for bringing back
reality.
So everyone is going to havethat shift.
It's like I heard one mastersay before contemplate their
return, contemplate their returnto sanity, right, instead of
lamenting over their struggles,which is, you know, a lot of us
(01:04:03):
are getting all these differentkinds of therapies, doing all
these therapies to sootheourselves while we keep the idea
that they're victimized.
That's not, that's not helping,that's not working.
So, hooray everyone, thank youfor joining me.
Yeah.
Aloha, this is ACIM meeting at Namaste Village and
today we are covering lesson 240.
Yay, it's like a moment ofsilence.
Yay, we're extending gratitudefrom all of our hearts for this
(00:24):
time together where we get toexperience A Course in Miracles,
joining our minds as one,receive the deep meaning beneath
the words so that we can liveit in our everyday life, it in
our everyday life, so thatwhenever any fear or worry or
(00:46):
irritation or anything arises inour perception, we can see it
and know that it's helpful tosee it and we can bring it to
(01:07):
the Amen.
All right, let's begin ourbeautiful lesson.
All right.
Fear is not justified in anyform.
So fear, forms of fear.
One really easy way to tellwhen it's a form of fear is does
it lack gratitude?
(01:28):
That is a really simple way.
Does it lack gratitude?
Gratitude is always justified,right Gratitude and anything
above gratitude.
I would say, you know, joy,acceptance, peace, joy,
acceptance, peace, happiness,all of that's justified because
of who we are.
But fear and any form of fear,any form of ingratitude, you can
(01:53):
say those are the forms thatare not justified.
Right, like when you imaginethat something is bad.
It would be bad if thishappened, for instance, it would
be bad if this happened.
Nothing can be bad.
(02:16):
That happens.
That's fear.
So that's how you know that isnot a justified thought.
Notice the feeling in thebody's energy field.
Also, that person is such andsuch right, something that feels
(02:39):
upsetting.
It's not seeing them as whollyperfect as they are right.
We were just talking about Flo.
When I saw Flo outside, I goman Flo, she looks frazzled.
I'm not sure when she's cominghere.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Oh, I want to come.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh, I know you do, that's not a question.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
If it's anything, I went to every class they had
this morning and didn't do mysub time to eat, so I had to
gobble some food because that'simportant.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I don't have to worry about that, I'm fasting.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, he's fasting today.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I'm not doing that.
It felt like it.
I don't know how you dealt withthat.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
So it's like this it's not about denying whatever
it is that you perceive, butrecognizing that it's all
helpful.
That's where it's changed tonot being a fearful thought.
Whatever it is that youperceive, it's like you know,
maybe someone looks angry,someone looks angry Hooray,
that's my immediate response.
(03:35):
Right, I'll occasionally nottoo often, but occasionally have
someone coming at me with atrigger, with judgment or
something like that, and insidemyself I'll be like, hooray,
I'll be happy about it, right,and it transforms everything,
because it's not justifying anythought that says this is bad,
(03:58):
right, or a person is unworthy.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, yes.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
That's one way to absorb the course.
It's in Spanish, so I'm goingto be bilingual by the time this
is over.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Porso de milagro.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
So, when we're recognizing that fear is not
justified that's why it's reallyeasy to shift back to creative
thoughts.
Right, it's like, yay, that's,that's great.
You know, like, like, if let'ssay uh, let's say you uh have
the perception that you're in acar accident, if you're, if
(04:42):
you're well trained becauseyou've been practicing like this
, you're going to be recognizingthat it's a blessing.
As soon as it happens, you'renot going to be going into oh
man, oh, this is bad.
That's what it means that fearis not justified in any form.
It's just really neverjustified.
It doesn't matter what the formof the thing is.
(05:03):
Okay, it could be yourperception of I don't know
what's going on with the newsthese days, but whatever
people's perception is of thenews, something happening in the
news oh, this is bad.
That's what this is pointing to.
This is how you live it in yourlife.
You go fear isn't justified inany form.
Holy Spirit, reinterpret thisfor me.
It must be a blessing,everything must be a blessing.
(05:26):
That's how it is right, andwhen we learn how to see this
way, we actually change theworld.
This is the only way to changethe world actually, because our
mind is projecting the world.
It's really the only way, andeventually more and more people
will be thinking like this andthe world will change.
You'll see it change.
These kinds of systems that weput in place won't hold anymore.
(05:49):
The reason why they do hold isbecause people are stubborn as
can be about this.
They want to believe that whatthey see is really there and
that it's real.
Okay, the way to see it is itseems to be there because of
thinking in a way that'suncreative, because this is what
(06:10):
you're doing when you justifyfear, it's because of this.
So do I want to add to it?
Do I want to add more to it ordo I want to change it?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I've been listening to Lisa Natoli during her 40
days.
First she said Jesus went intothe wilderness for 40 days and
he didn't have one miracle untilhe had left, because he
surrendered.
But the other thing was shetalked about forgiveness and she
said we have to completelyforgive Before.
(06:40):
What was the thing that youjust said?
I'm trying to remember the wordyou just used, oh, Before.
What was the thing that youjust said?
I'm trying to remember the wordyou just used In your previous
tiny talk.
You said we have to not create,create.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Creative stuff yes.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
We cannot create.
She said.
We have to completely forgiveand be in a state of complete
love, and then we are alignedwith the forces of creation and
it just comes right.
There has to be no judgment, noforgiveness.
All of that has to go, not onetiny iota, because if it remains
(07:19):
then we're not there.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Well, look at it like this All right, you're always
having a choice between creativethoughts and uncreative
thoughts.
Justifying fear is beinguncreative, even something that
says we're all going to die.
Let's say that everyone, who'severyone, is going to die, for
instance and you know, peopledefend that because it's it's,
it seems like it's going tohappen.
So they're defending it, butnot realizing how powerful our
(07:43):
mind is.
That seems like it's going tohappen, so they're defending it,
but not realizing how powerfulour mind is.
That's why I'm saying fear isnot justified.
You just recognize that it'snot justified and your mind has
changed.
You can see the creativethought like the Holy Spirit's
thoughts.
So it's just in this instancewhere you're accepting, you're
(08:03):
consenting to the Holy Spirit,taking away any thought that
makes fear justified, right,like I shouldn't be this way,
for instance.
So it's one thing, okay, flolooks frazzled.
It's another thing, flo,shouldn't be that way.
See, that's where fear getsjustified.
(08:23):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I feel so energized and excited.
I left the coherence classBefore that.
I had Scott doing a beautifultapping and then it was just
beautiful, but I just needed toeat, hunger, hunger.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, well, here's what it looks like, here's what.
Here's what it looks like whenI'm saying someone looks
frazzled, okay, it's like anidea that you're behind schedule
, right.
Kind of like I need to do thisreally fast and do this really
fast, and then being kind oflike apologetic about it too
sorry, I taste like chicken.
It's like, that's all right, Ilike chicken, you know, right,
right right, yeah yeah, yeah,and so it's just noticing, just
(09:14):
noticing, like, even that senseof, even that sense of being
rushed, even that sense of being, uh, any kind of apologetic,
anything like that it's.
It's just really it's not.
It's not that it's bad, you'rejust recognizing and I recognize
it for other people.
That's that's one way.
I just recognize it for otherpeople, whether I say something
or not, uh, it's recognizingthat that is not justified,
(09:36):
there's no justification rightFor it, and so and and so, in
that.
That's how you allow yourselfthe space to see how to, kind of
like, have a more calm andsmooth experience, which is what
you're going for.
That's why there's that feelinglike, there's a subtle and
(09:56):
maybe not so subtle feeling likeit shouldn't be this way.
And the thing is, it's that itshould be that way, just because
it's a reflection of thebalance of the thoughts that
you're choosing to follow Loveand fear, that's all.
So when you see more and moreokay, this is what it is, it's
the balance of these thoughtsyour thoughts start to calm down
(10:17):
and the expression calms downand then you can be, you know,
like in a slower, calmer way,which everyone wants.
I mean, I know everyone,everyone wants that because it
just feels peaceful.
It doesn't feel like the nervoussystem is so like shot.
You know they're just like ah,I got all the time in the world.
Yeah, oh yeah, oh, hey, hope,oh yeah, I'm having chicken
(10:39):
right now.
I'm going to probably cruiseinto your class, I don't know,
maybe about 05 or 10 after orsomething like.
You know what I mean.
It's just like it's a chillvibe.
It doesn't really matter whattime you're arriving, I can see
a cool dude saying that, mebeing like that Maybe one day?
Yeah, you can.
The more you choose creativethoughts, the more your nervous
(11:00):
system calms down and itactually expresses like that I
wasn't feeling like agitated orfrazzled, I was feeling grief.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
And then there was, and I had like seven minutes,
you were early and she's likeyou're going in the wrong
direction.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yep, I brought it up for you, didn't I?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I have to Darshan try really hard to stop me and pick
a card, but anyway, when I letgo and know God is doing it all,
I've had times when I'm amazedat how much I get done, because
I'm not worried, and then Ilooked it's earlier than I
thought because I wasn'tstressful and God's got me.
(11:41):
God does.
And wow, the gratitude for allthat we have here.
I don't want to miss it becauseI'm like this is phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yep, that's really how I'm feeling.
All right, well, thank you forsharing.
I love you.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I love you too.
I love to be here.
I was thrilled to come, really.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
So fear is deception?
Yeah, fear is deception.
That's what it is.
It's just saying that there's areason to be upset, there's a
reason to uh think thatsomething's gonna go wrong.
It's not a matter of what ifthis happens, like, let's say,
(12:21):
what if it rains on the day I'mhaving a picnic?
It's whether or not that makesit go wrong in your mind, right?
So that's the deception.
Nothing that occurs in theworld is a cause for fear.
It's just a habit to keep onmaking fear real, right?
So the ego is putting upsomething like if this happens,
(12:42):
it would be really bad.
Or because this happened it'sreally bad, or because that
person did this thing to mebefore.
Now I have this problem, right?
That's fear, that's thedeception.
So it meaning fear attests.
It attests.
That means it's like it's beinga witness.
(13:03):
It's witnessing to the ideathat you've seen yourself as you
could never be.
So you've seen yourself assmall, you've seen your mind as
powerless.
That's what it's sayingWhenever there's any kind of
fear, and that includes any kindof rush, any kind of hurry,
right?
Notice when, in your body'senergy field, when you feel
(13:26):
rushed, any kind of rush, anykind of hurry, right?
Notice when, in your body'senergy field when you feel
rushed, any kind of rushed,that's it.
That is deception.
That's saying you've seenyourself as you cannot possibly
be okay, wow.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Caught in the world of time, which isn't real.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
That's right.
And see, we're not saying thatthis is a bad thing.
We want to look at it so we cansee it and we can bring it to
the Holy Spirit.
You see what I mean?
I mean, I think it's awesome.
I'm so super glad whenever it'sbrought up, whether it comes up
in me, which it barely comes upin me anymore.
You know why?
Because I started looking at ita long time ago.
(14:02):
I had that kind of habit whereI would feel this sense of I'm
rushed, like I'm being pressedon, I have to hurry up or
something, and then.
And then here's how, here's howit was handled.
To give you some examples youknow, I come rolling into
wherever I'm supposed to be andthe idea might be that you know
I'm, I'm late or I'm whatever,I'm whatever, and I'm just
(14:26):
noticing in my body's energyfield, letting myself chill out.
Yeah, recognizing I'm always inthe right place at the right
time, right.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Right when I was younger, rising, five kids had a
full-time job.
Blah, blah, blah, but I had abelief.
I mean, and blah, blah, but Ihad a belief.
I mean, and it would come up.
I never had enough time.
And it was running all the timeand I came home from, I found
(14:59):
that if I came home from workand immediately changed clothes,
put on my shoes and got out thedoor and went for a walk, and
as I walked I would tell myselfI have plenty of time, I have
plenty of time.
And I changed that belief thatwas running the show to a new
(15:20):
belief, which was I have plentyof time.
And everything smoothed out.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
a new belief, which was.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I had plenty of time and everything smoothed out and
as I started to feel that I hadplenty of time, I didn't feel
that rush.
I didn't feel that pressureBecause it was a belief, that
was an unconscious, unwatchedbelief.
(15:46):
And when I saw it unwatchedbelief, right.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
And when I saw it, I was able to convert Right.
You were young.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
You didn't have all these years.
Well, I was never young, honey.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I've never been young .
I've never been young.
We're ancient, ageless.
We're all ancient and ageless.
We're all young with littlechildren.
Yes, Everywhere is very amazing.
Yes, yes, so, yeah.
So Carla was just sharing abouthow she changed from I don't
have enough time to I haveplenty of time and she would
(16:14):
feel it in her body's energyfield.
You feel it first before youstart perceiving it on the
surface.
That's why, in the example Igave, you know, and I just go
okay, whatever time I get there,I'm going to be okay with it.
I'm not going to be apologizing, I'm just going to show up and
say yes, here I am.
You know, and in all kinds ofdifferent ways, you know when I
(16:37):
used to come from.
There was a lot of events, likethere's a lot of events here,
and people would get used toseeing me at events.
So sometimes someone would comeup to me and go you weren't at
the event last night and thenormal thing to do would be to
lament that you're not onno-transcript and then that was
the end of it.
No, I wasn't.
(17:04):
No excuse Nothing, just no, Iwasn't See.
So it's like you play withstuff like that, you know.
So it's like when you see meand I'm like, hey, flo, flo's
going the opposite way there's,you know, and I'm being
facetious with Flo, I'm like,hey, flo, you're going the wrong
way, you know, you know, and soand so then there's like
(17:28):
there's a reaction when thathappens.
So this is so, this is whereyou notice it, this is, this is
where you cause it'll comearound again and probably really
soon, and this is where youknow it is yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's like you, you youwitness, you sit there and you
(17:52):
witness a calming in your, inyour energy field.
You witness that.
Okay.
So when you're when, whenyou're taken off guard and
that's what a trigger is it'slike you're taken off guard, you
run into a pattern.
So that's what a trigger is.
It's like you're taken offguard, you run into a pattern.
So that's what happened rightthere.
You just ran into a pattern,right so?
So so it's not, it's not ashake your head.
No, oh no, oh, poor me.
No, it's not like that, it'slike awesome.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I'm glad I see yeah, I felt like you just put me into
a parallel reality.
I met you and I was so cool.
Want a piece of chicken?
I should have said, and itwould have been cool.
Yeah, it'll be done in a fewminutes.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
It was totally cool.
See, you're seeing these thingsnow and we're talking about it,
and the next time it happens,you're going to be more aware
and more aware, and more aware,until you're going to notice the
shift.
And when you notice the shift,like that, that's how you know.
Oh, this is my power, this ismy power right here.
(18:50):
It's like, yeah, I don't haveto run into a pattern.
See, everyone can take fromthis and learn from it.
That's why it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Thank you for doing that I'm transitioning, I still
slip a little bit.
That was good.
Thank you, oh you're doingawesome.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
So fear attests that you have.
See what it's showing you.
You've seen yourself as youcould never be, something that
could be rushed, something thatcould be late, something that
could be a powerless mind, andthat's why it's attesting to
that.
That's why you demonstrate toyourself that it has no
justification, no justificationat all, and that's what makes
(19:25):
you look upon a world which isimpossible.
It's like the world's demandingsomething of you, for instance,
right, if anyone seems to bedemanding, or the world there
seems to be conflict or anythinglike that.
You've seen yourself as youcannot be, and that's why you
look on a world which isimpossible.
(19:48):
I'm upset because I see what isnot there, or I'm upset because
I see a meaningless world.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Right, right, yeah, and, and, and you know.
So this is talking about.
You see a world that'simpossible, because you saw
yourself as you could never be.
That's right.
You didn't.
You saw yourself as somethingless than the son of god.
That's the thing.
Not one thing in this world istrue.
(20:19):
I like that line.
Not one thing in this world istrue.
We're totally making it up,right, and yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
He wronged me, he's guilty.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Right, we got a whole court system about it who's
wrong, who's right and who'swrong, who takes who's wrong?
Who's right and who's wrong,who takes the blame?
Who's better, who's worse?
Right, there's only one of us.
There's only one of us.
So that's why, you know, one ofmy friends asked me uh,
yesterday or the day before sheasked me because she was telling
she was saying that it's uh,it's not compassionate to not
(20:58):
feel angry, like feeling angryis compassionate to her, and I
said, oh, okay, well, that'sawesome.
You know, like I'm not arguingwith people, that's not what I
do.
But she knew that it would goagainst the things that I say,
and so she asked me do you stilllike me?
And I'm like, of course I do.
You're just like anyone elsethat arises in my consciousness.
(21:21):
You're.
Actually, everything you say iscoming from me, of course,
right, of course I like you.
You could say anything to me,right?
You could tell me I'm the worstperson.
It's still the same thing to me, you know, because there's only
one of us.
So not one thing in this worldis true and one way you could
look at that too none of thesebodies, nothing that they seem
(21:42):
to be doing, the way they'rerepresenting to you.
That is not how they are.
They're actually beams of light.
All of us are just beams oflight.
So the way we've made eachother good or bad, we tell good
stories about people too, andalso hurt ourselves with the
good stories we tell about them,because then what I miss you,
(22:02):
I'm going to miss you, forinstance, right.
Yeah, that's deception Alsoright.
Yeah.
So you know, sometimes some ofmy friends go I'm not, I know
I'm not supposed to say this,but I'm going to miss you and
I'm like.
I'm like, no, it's not thatyou're not supposed to say it,
it's okay.
Anything can be used by theHoly Spirit.
(22:24):
What you're recognizing.
You know I don't say anythinglike that because it's not true
to me.
It's just not true to me.
When people tell me they missme, I let them know I love them.
I'm like I love you.
You know, it's not like you'renot supposed to say it, it's
just that recognizing when yousay you miss me, that has no
justification in reality.
It actually has nojustification in reality.
(22:50):
You've made yourself intosomething that's not true and so
now you're perceiving theseimages and it's as if you need
to try to keep any image.
You can't let the image passaway.
Everything is really arisingand passing away in your
experience.
When you recognize that's whatis going on.
If you feel and you get thesense that you miss someone,
it's not bad to say that.
(23:11):
Just come back to this.
Missing is fear.
Fear is not justified in anyform.
I must have seen myself in away.
That's not true.
It's not like you're bad fordoing that, but let's just be
honest about what's happeninghere.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Right, because you think there's loss, but there
isn't loss, right.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Well, it's also wishing things were different
than they are.
Right, good point, yeah, it'strue.
Good point it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, it's a really good point.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I had a gentleman friend who lived in a different
town and he was always sayinghow he missed me and he didn't
like it.
I didn't say it back but Ifinally said I am not going to
live my here now wishing it wasdifferent than it is Because I
just want to appreciate the herenow.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah, and other people they're allowed to miss.
It's not like you're makingthem guilty or wrong or anything
.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
But don't make me wrong, I'm not going to go there
with you.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I'm not going to missing with you.
Yes, yes, and, and and you knowthat's another thing too is is
that we learn too?
Is we get to enjoy perceivinganyone trying to make us wrong?
I get a kick out of it myself,I really do.
Whenever anyone I'm like, I'mjust like, that's so sweet, it's
(24:42):
care To me.
I look, I look past theillusion and go that's care,
that's so sweet, they care,right.
Well, they feel they're lookingthrough a lens, that they're
looking at themselves in a waythey could never be and they're
projecting to me that they wantme to be a certain way.
Think like they do.
(25:03):
I'm like oh, that's so sweet.
You know how many times I'veheard people tell me that I'm
ruining something because I'mnot political.
It's fucking hilarious.
I'm just like oh, that's sosweet, thank you.
I say thank you to them.
I say thank you, that's sosweet.
And sometimes I tell them howdo you know I would vote the way
you wanted me to if I wasvoting?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
You might know, maybe we're a little hard on the pet
owners.
For example, and somebody elsesaid they don't care.
(25:50):
And there was another issuewith the Miradors.
Maybe we're a little hard onso-and-so.
They don't care Because theyjust take it in.
They know it's not real, it'sjust.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Maybe they change, maybe they don't.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Right.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Yes, yes, and I haven't thought of it that way.
But yeah, what you're saying isexactly right.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
For me to feel bad about being criticized is
irrelevant, yeah, and you lookat it like this it's coming from
your own mind, so that you candemonstrate that it has no basis
in reality.
Basically, just like thislesson says it's not justified,
so it not being justifieddoesn't mean that condemnation
(26:41):
is now justified.
Like, don't make me wrong, forinstance.
That is also a form of control,right.
So it's trying to control theform.
It's not like go ahead, make mewrong, I fucking love it.
It's impossible for me to bewrong, right and love it.
(27:04):
It's impossible for me to bewrong, right, and that really
changes things, because the egoputs out all these fearful
things Like what, if?
Like for me.
You know, I've been spiritualteaching over in Hawaii for 11
years.
What if your whole communityhates you?
All of a sudden, you know theego will actually put a thought
out like that and you know whatI'll be like.
That'll be fucking awesome,because whatever happens is
perfect for my awakening.
(27:25):
That's what I want.
So I want whatever it is, andthen that quiets the ego down,
basically quiets my nervoussystem down.
I'm facing everything withopenness.
I don't mind how many peoplelike me, I don't mind whatever
it is that occurs.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I had a big realization the other day, when
I realized, of course, everybodyhere is a piece of me.
I'm trying to pull it all backtogether.
This is what unity is, this iswhat loving is.
Bring it all back.
So if I see somebody what Iwould consider judging me, it's
(28:04):
me judging me.
Some part of me says, oh, flo,you talk too much, or blah, blah
.
And then somebody appears,seems to appear to say that to
me yeah, gratitude, and I'm thepart of you that's always on
time.
That was my father, thewatchmaker, the clockmaker, yeah
(28:29):
.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah.
So so, being thankful gratitude, just extend gratitude for no
matter what anyone does, nomatter what anyone says, and
you'll see, you can't even helpit.
It turns things around reallyfast because people are
expecting you to be resistingthem.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
I'm looking forward now to the next opportunity
where I feel myself going, youknow, and I'm just going to go
into it and say, oh, wow, yeah,no, I can choose a different way
to respond here.
Let me think.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
You always can yeah, and be okay if you don't.
If you go into patterning, yeah, but at least you become aware
of who I caught that.
You might need to see it for awhile before you're actually
able to do it, so yeah, to staycalm enough.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, thankyou.
Yeah, all to stay calm enough.
(29:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, thankyou.
Yeah, all right, not one thingin this world is true, hooray,
for that, we can make itanything we want.
It does not matter what the formin which it may appear.
That's what we've been talkingabout.
Whatever form it appears in,that's perfect for us.
What if this happened?
My older son said what if you?
What if my other son, what ifBron ends up just staying here
(29:43):
doing the same thing, playingvideo games in his room?
And he's 35, and I go, it'll befucking awesome, just like it
is right now.
Right, whatever it is, itdoesn't matter, there's not
anything to be scaring, there'snot anything fearful.
Whatever form it arises doesnot matter.
Whatever form it appears in, itwitnesses.
It witnesses, but to your ownillusions of yourself.
(30:08):
Everything, okay.
So it's like, not one thing inthis world is true.
It does not matter what theform in which it may appear, it
witnesses, but to your ownillusions of yourself.
So everything in this world iswitnessing to your illusions of
yourself.
(30:29):
Right, today I went to thedentist.
The dentist was so nice andkind.
Right, I apply A Course inMiracles, even to this
perception that the dentist isnice and kind, right, he is
reflecting an illusion of myself.
That's what I need to know.
This isn't real.
So it's not like oh, thankgoodness he was kind and he
wasn't a dick, it was just likehe's.
That's an illusion, everysingle thing.
(30:51):
There's nothing here that'strue, good and bad.
It's reflecting an illusion ofyourself in all of our
imaginationsinations, let's say,and in a different way, because
we're all having a uniqueperception, right?
So it's so.
It's like yes, it exists.
As far as your power to makesomething is projecting it in
(31:15):
this, into the field, it's byyour power that you're able to
perceive it.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
But we all have a shared experience at this room.
Yes, we do yes so we're alllooking at it from a different
angle.
You see the table from that way.
I see the table from this way,but the table exists.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Well, there's an idea there.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Not in reality.
So let's say if you take byreality, let's say eternity, it
doesn't exist in eternity, right?
Everything that's here arisesand passes away.
That's why it's saying not oneof it, is true, not one of it.
This is not, doesn't havereality.
It's real to us because webelieve in what we made.
(31:59):
We made this up and weautomatically are believing in
what we made, right?
So we can't go, while webelieve in what we made, say
that table's not really thereand try to walk through it,
right, because we're going tobump into it, apparently.
And that only attests to it,doesn't attest to the table's
(32:21):
real, it attests to our power.
Our mind is so powerful to makethings that seem real, right?
That's the difference.
That's a different way oflooking at it.
It doesn't make it real.
Point it back to the power ofyour own mind.
See, what the ego would haveyou do is diminish the power of
your mind by making the thingsyou made have a separate reality
(32:44):
, apart from your mind, as ifyou didn't just make it.
You can make things appear veryreal because you never lost the
power of creation, and in adream, that's making things that
are temporary.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
So we took that power of eternal creation and we
limited it into athree-dimensional context.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Yes, and we're making something temporary.
That's why Jesus is saying herenot one thing in this world is
true, not one thing is true.
So that's just like saying,because it's temporary, because
our true creations Istemporarily true, okay, we can
go with that Temporarily true,she said is it temporarily true?
(33:27):
Yes, but your mind isn'ttemporary, your mind is eternal.
So that's why we want to getback to our true creations,
which are also eternal, becausethat's the only way that we have
true happiness.
No suffering, no pain.
We all go through sufferingshere, to different degrees,
(33:48):
depending on the balance of howmuch we choose creative thoughts
over miscreative thoughts.
But we all go through pain andsuffering here.
We don't want that forourselves or for anyone else.
We want to get back to creatingand that's why we're changing
the way we're looking at thethings that we made.
Instead of giving them power oftheir own, we're bringing the
(34:11):
power back to our mind.
It's everything in this worldthat looks like it's here that
attests to only the power of ourmind.
And see, what it's saying hereis it's attesting to you
thinking, you having seenyourself as what you could never
be.
That's your mind power, right?
(34:32):
So you're recognizing that.
It's your mind's power makingit, then that's showing you you
can actually redirect thatenergy.
It's energy, it's psychicenergy.
You can actually redirect thatenergy toward creation.
Wow, were you in the classyesterday, carla?
No, I fell asleep.
(34:52):
Oh, we were doing psychicenergy.
It's recorded.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Okay, yeah, it's recorded.
Well, I'm going back, I'mtwirling in my mind.
Yeah, james did a lesson oneday last week where this idea of
projection, yeah, and the lightof truth and the divine shines
(35:17):
through my consciousness toproject this world that I see
and your conscious, that lightis coming through your
consciousness to project theworld that you see just the same
, but you see it a littledifferent because your
(35:37):
consciousness, your personality,all of that enters into the
projection.
But the light is who I reallyam.
Yeah, we're all that, but thelight is what I really am, not
the consciousness that it'sgoing through, nor the
projection that I'm living outhere.
Yes, that makes sense andthat's how our mind is shared
(35:57):
that we'm living out here.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yes, that makes sense and that's how our mind is
shared, that we're all thatlight.
That's where we share.
That's where we actually share.
We don't share our projections,we can only project our
projections.
That part of our mind isn'treally shared, it's just
projected.
That's why when we sink back,it's kind of like sinking back
(36:22):
or detachment.
It's been called back into thelight.
That's where we share witheveryone and that's why it's
like.
You know, I'll be like with theego thought, I don't mind if
people don't like me, right, butwhat happens is they
automatically do.
They can't help it, because Ishare my mind with them, I share
(36:42):
the light with them.
I don't resist them.
It just automatically does that.
The only way people cancontinue to not like me is to
stay away from me and be notliking me in their mind over and
over and over again, becausewhen they get around me, there's
a shared like a brotherhood,it's like automatic.
It's like it's a brotherhoodbecause I know the light behind
(37:04):
all of their projections.
So, whatever they project ontome, I'm happy about that.
Thank you, you know, just in athank you kind of way.
Shared mind, so it does notmatter what form.
Okay that, let us not bedeceived today.
So with this lesson today,we're gonna choose.
(37:27):
We're giving consent to notbeing deceived.
We're seeing everything as ablessing and no and no
justification for fear.
Say someone, someoneovercharges you, thank you still
.
Even if there's hey, I thinkyou charged me too much, there's
still gratitude in that.
(37:48):
Or I think you charged me toolittle here.
Let me give you some more money.
All right, let us not bedeceived today.
We are the sons of God.
There's only one of us.
We're all the same.
We share the same mind.
We are the same light.
It's not like we can be lessthan right.
(38:12):
We were talking about missingpeople.
That's saying that we're notthe sons of God.
If we're missing someone, andagain, it's not bad.
I know this is hard for peoplebecause they'll be like I need
to miss people, I'm justified inmissing people.
Okay, you know the lesson.
Yeah, the lesson, yes, yeah,it's not going to change my love
(38:33):
for you.
Don't worry about that, becauseeverything that everyone needs
to learn will be learned.
It's not up to us to correctanyone.
The Holy Spirit does all thecorrecting.
Sometimes the Holy Spirit usesour voice, but just knowing in
our body, in our body's energyfield, in our heart.
(38:53):
We don't have to correct anyone.
All we do is accept.
The Holy Spirit teaches us.
The Holy Spirit is lending usHis mind to show us to just
accept whatever it is anyone'sdoing or saying.
That's like the healing balmthere is no fear in us.
(39:14):
It says there is no fear in us.
Okay, so how could that be, itsays, for we are each a part of
love itself.
So when we perceive fear inourselves, we're misperceiving.
There's actually no fear in us.
Some people tell me they'reafraid to be alone at night.
(39:35):
Right, and I've had that too,like when I was a kid oh my gosh
, I'd be so scared to be alonein a house or anything like that
.
But through practicing A Coursein Miracles and recognizing we
don't actually are not evencapable of having any fear,
we're actually believingsomething that's not true and
(39:57):
projecting ourselves as if we'refearful.
We're actually, in truth, notcapable of even being afraid.
So you can use that anytime youseem to feel afraid and notice
how I said seem to feel afraidbecause it's not true.
It's like it's on a projectorEven being afraid of, let's say,
(40:21):
having a disease, or afraidsomeone else is going to die, or
afraid because your kid's ondrugs or whatever.
I've shared with people beforeabout my daughter being on
cocaine.
Apparently, she's off cocainenow because her nose is almost
completely collapsed.
So she's like all right, that'senough cocaine.
But I was talking to peopleabout my daughter being on
(40:42):
cocaine.
They're like you're justsharing about it, like that.
You're just like.
You're just like matter of factabout it.
You're not even bummed outabout it.
I'm like there's just nothingto be afraid of, right, and I
reflect that back to her too.
I'm like there's nothing to beafraid of, like if your nose
collapses, then that's not a badthing of Like.
If your nose collapses, thenthat's not a bad thing.
(41:02):
You're still perfect, you'restill the Holy Son of God.
There's nothing wrong, right.
So it's like once she makes thedecision apparently made the
decision that oh, you know what,I'm going to just really have
to stop doing that because Idon't want my nose to collapse.
Like I'm a pretty girl, I wantto keep my nose whatever.
The situation is right.
But it's a matter ofrecognizing.
There's no fear in us If I, asa mom, feel scared that my
(41:25):
daughter's on cocaine.
I bring it to the truth, I'm notreally her mom for one.
I mean there's all kinds ofHoly Spirit thoughts that come
in.
She's not really your kid,you're not really her mom,
there's no thing in the worldthat could change anything about
people being the son of God,and it really does change your
mind.
You know, when you're sincereabout it it really does change
(41:49):
your mind.
So then these perceptions cancome up and you're not affected.
You're not being affected bythings in the world.
There's no need for that.
We're not trying to change theperception.
We're not trying to controlanyone.
We're not trying to control theworld.
We're letting things roll outthe way they do and being happy
(42:09):
about it.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
That shift is a big one for me.
You know, I know where you'recoming from.
To see people dying in Gaza.
You know, to see I won't goover the list, right, it's
really difficult to.
It's like what happened.
I don't want to lose my senseof compassion for people, but
(42:32):
look, there's no.
On the other hand, I understandthis.
Okay, I understand now thatactually thinking that way not
only does it not solve theproblem, it keeps it going,
because I'm keeping it active inmy imagination to project more
of it out there.
Right, I'm seeing it now, andI'm seeing now the only way that
(42:56):
they'll be healing.
I heard today just being in thestate of love and forgiveness
for myself for 10 minutes.
Thousands of other people areactually affected by my shifting
my energy into this highervibration.
You know that's the way to heal.
Yeah, to remember to bring itback, and not only bring it back
(43:20):
the healing Truth, bring it up,bring it out.
Not to deny fear either, though, my first class this morning
was the tapping that I did withScott.
You know Scott Mm-hmm, and hewas saying to someone in the
room it's good, you'rerecognizing it.
It reminds me of Rumi, theguest house.
(43:42):
Bring in all your feelings.
I don't want to sidestep it thecourse of love.
The chapter we read wastenderness.
That word itself brings me intofeeling tender about everything
here, myself.
It's tenderness toward myself.
(44:03):
That's where love comes from.
Tenderness, that's right.
And you know, I feel a need forcold.
Okay, now it's time to stoptalking.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
That's enough talking , all right.
So you mentioned the thingabout Gaza and compassion, okay,
so I wanted to talk on that fora minute.
So when you get the perceptionof something like that, it's not
like trying to push theperception away.
You know, your eyes and yourears and your hands and your
feet are needed here for undoingthese illusions.
(44:39):
So the compassion is inrecognizing that there is a
sense.
If there's a sense of pain orfrustration or anything like
that, you'll give it over tocreation.
You'll use that power.
That's saying something's wrong, right?
Because that's the remember.
Fear is not justified.
It's not justified.
It comes up.
(44:59):
It's not justified.
Why is it not justified?
Number one no one is reallysuffering.
No one's really suffering.
This is a Holy Spirit thought.
No one's actually suffering.
I'm making that up right now.
Everyone is getting exactlywhat they need, no matter what
it seems to be.
This is actually compassion,but the ego would not look at
(45:20):
this as compassion.
Everyone is getting what theyneed to see, what they need to
see to undo the world forthemselves, right?
So the ego would look at thisas not being compassionate, that
it's right to be angry, thatit's right to be fearful, that
it's right to say someone'swrong for doing this, but this
(45:41):
lesson is pointing to fear isnot justified in any form.
So this is how we actually helpthe whole world Everyone in the
whole world is by recognizingthat they are actually living
exactly what they need so theycan undo the whole cause of
separation.
Everyone has their perfect pathfor this.
Speaker 2 (46:05):
I heard the term false empathy yep, false empathy
goes with this it took.
I said how could empathy befalse to feel for somebody else?
But if this isn't true, thenthat right.
Speaker 1 (46:19):
See, that's.
That's what this lesson ispointing to.
This is not mincing words.
Here, fear is not justified inany form.
It's one thing to feel it, onlyto feel it, so that you can
recognize it's not justified andhand it over to the holy spirit
.
It's not about wallowing in it.
Okay, uh, tapping is fun, butit's never going to heal.
(46:40):
That's the thing we're gettingtripped off on different things
that we believe that it makes usfeel better.
It's okay, it's okay on thebody.
Speaker 2 (46:48):
It's the mind that really has to.
Speaker 1 (46:50):
That's right, it's okay.
You could be tapping on thebody and going okay, help me see
that this fear is not justified.
Though it's one thing to sootheyourself, nothing's wrong with
it but this isn't the same thingas healing self Nothing's wrong
with it, but this isn't thesame thing as healing.
And there's a lot of teachingsthat are going along with just
(47:11):
keeping this fearful feelingbecause it's justified.
It's not justified.
Thank you, sal.
That's the thing.
The fear is never justified,and most therapies, including
psychotherapy, is all aboutreally keeping that fear in a
form, keeping it going.
You don't want to keep it.
Don't falsely identify withthis Empathy.
Speaker 2 (47:36):
Empathy is saying that what someone else is
feeling is justified, so I'mgoing to feel it with them, like
you're having empathy for yourfriend missing you or something,
and then thinking you need torespond oh, I miss you too.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
Right, it's actually recognizing that the person's
missing is not justified.
So it's not like, oh, I feelbad for them or I feel sorry for
them.
If you feel sorry for them,it's not bad.
This is where you recognizefeeling sorry for them is not
justified.
You use that psychic energythat you're projecting toward
(48:11):
feeling sorry.
Give it to the Holy Spirit soit can be redirected toward
healing.
That's what we want.
Okay, all right, let's go tothe next part.
How foolish are fears, right?
Wow, see See how.
But see, see, see how.
But see how.
That's right.
Laughing about the fearsInstead of trying to give them
(48:34):
some kind of therapy?
Right, you don't need all this.
You don't need all this stuff.
It's a matter of giving thisfear over to the Holy Spirit.
See, the ego wants you runningaround in fear repeatedly.
We can be totally resolved ofall this.
Would you allow your son tosuffer?
(48:57):
It's not God's will that you'rein fear, right?
It's like would you allow that?
How foolish are fears?
Would you allow your son tosuffer?
This is a prayer.
Give us faith today torecognize your son.
So this is the son that cannotbe hurt.
Look, apply this to the peoplein Gaza, for instance.
(49:18):
Give us the faith today torecognize your son in the people
in Gaza, that they're your son.
So how is it going to help them?
Or me?
By feeling bad for them Right?
Or by taking see?
See, all these, all thesetherapies are saying that fear
is justified in trying to workon the fear Right.
(49:41):
So it's trying to work with itExternal and forget where the
causes, right, that we're thecause of everything, right.
Speaker 2 (49:44):
So it's trying to work with it Fix the external
and forget where the cause isRight, that we're the cause of
everything, right?
Speaker 1 (49:48):
So when you use any kind of therapy, just use it in
that way.
That includes block therapy,that includes tapping therapy.
Anything that you're doing, useit in that way.
Now notice, many times theteacher of it is not saying
something like that because theydon't know.
They don't know.
You got to know this foryourself.
You got to be wholly in thiswith Jesus, with yourself,
(50:11):
because so many times otherpeople are not going to be
reflecting that to you, and thatincludes many, many teachers.
Speaker 2 (50:18):
Okay, turn the black therapy into not just physical
therapy, but you're in ameditative, internal state while
you're, with whatever the painis.
Speaker 1 (50:27):
Well, look, nothing in this real world is true.
My body isn't true, neither isthe block right.
It's not true.
This fear, pain, what we'reable to access with the block,
apparently right, pain thatwe're able to access is actually
fear.
This fear isn't justified.
(50:47):
Yeah, it's not justified, yes,yeah.
So what we're doing is we'redoing a practice where we're
bringing up fear, basically, andbreathing with it and
recognizing we don't have tokeep it.
It's not justified.
See how all these things seemto be justified.
It's like, oh, you're aging,that's why you should be in this
(51:09):
much pain.
Like, no, it's not justified.
Actually, I'm going to takethis block and I'm just going to
bring it out.
I'm going to look at it andrecognize and breathe with it,
and it's not justified.
See all therapy, using alltherapy, like that, like when
you use, when you listen tovideos of block therapy.
Deanna doesn't know that whenshe's talking about block
therapy, she's all about itbeing physical, right.
(51:30):
So a lot of the times I go to asatsang went to a satsang
recently At the satsang, theperson doing the satsang is
basically saying that death isinevitable.
At the satsang she's likegiving us a miscreation thought.
You know, we have to be holywithin ourselves, having faith
(51:52):
that the truth is true, so wecan overlook these things and
actually use them to direct ourmind toward creation, rather
than being wallowing inmiscreation with everyone in the
world.
We're projecting all thesepeople that are apparently in
miscreation.
So we have to be, like it'slike, singular within ourselves,
(52:14):
knowing what's true, because wecan't be expecting the world to
reflect it.
The world's reflecting what wethought was true.
Right, this is how we'redemonstrating it to ourself.
Give us faith to recognize yourson and set him free.
We don't want to keep the peoplein Gaza imprisoned.
(52:36):
We want to set them free.
Right, we don't want to sootheourselves because we're happy
with the belief that says we'reprivileged because we're over
here and they're over there.
See, that's a, that's a bigthing.
People guilt themselves forbeing privileged.
(52:57):
No one's better off than anyone.
Everyone's dealing with thesame thing.
Everyone's dealing with theirown illusions.
No, there's no.
There's no haves and have nots.
That's not true.
No one is better off, no one isworse off.
That's a big, a big thing thatpeople bring to suffering.
So people go and do differenttherapies uh, psychotherapy, uh,
(53:19):
childhood regression, all thesedifferent things but keep the
idea that they're privileged.
Right, there's also the idea.
Now, that's the idea thatthey're privileged.
Oh yeah, right.
There's also the idea, nowthat's going around, that you're
privileged based on your skincolor Right, it's all worldly
ego bullshit.
If we're saying that we'reprivileged, we're depreciating
(53:39):
the power of our mind and we'redepreciating the power of
everyone's mind.
We're saying that we're stuckbased on appearances.
We're not stuck on appearances.
Our mind is making theappearances.
We can change it.
Speaker 2 (53:54):
So I say to myself, why would I want to be in this
world where there's constantdeath?
I think Reverend Penny said theother day it's not that it will
change, it is change.
It came to change.
Everything here came to pass.
That's right, it all came topass.
So I wonder why I get so caughtin it.
(54:17):
I'm stepping away and observingit now Good, like above the
battleground, that's it.
You know, but you got this.
How does it still draw me in?
It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (54:29):
You're choosing.
You're making a choice.
Every instant is a holyinstance where you're making a
choice.
Speaker 2 (54:37):
I think I'm getting pulled back or I have a problem.
My seat just got mold.
I just have to go and I'm notthere.
Take that energy away, becausethe energy will materialize.
We sing in unity, our thoughts,our prayers, and we are always
praying.
Speaker 1 (54:57):
That's it.
Okay, let's keep going.
Each mind is creating their ownreality.
Speaker 3 (55:02):
She created the loss of her casino.
I created blah, blah, blah.
We each created.
Speaker 1 (55:08):
Yeah, you could say made it up because this isn't
creation.
And the reason why we'relooking at the words like that
is because there's a hugedifference between a projected
world and creation.
So creation is eternal.
So each of us made a world up,a whole world that we perceive.
(55:29):
Now you could look at it.
Speaker 3 (55:32):
We didn't create it.
Speaker 1 (55:33):
Right, yeah, made it up, projected same thing.
Speaker 3 (55:36):
God initially created us.
Right, that's a creation.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
That's a creation right.
Speaker 3 (55:42):
All of this is a projection.
Speaker 1 (55:43):
All of this is a projection.
Speaker 3 (55:44):
We each have our own individual projection Right.
Can I influence?
Speaker 1 (55:48):
your projection.
Sure, I have to let you, thoughI have to choose, right.
It's interesting.
Yeah, yeah, I have to choose.
And love has very stronginfluence, way stronger than the
fear influence.
That's the thing.
That's why, when we jointogether, it's very powerful.
(56:08):
We just join with anotherperson's mind, and that's you
know.
You very easily join withpeople all the way in Gaza
because you recognize the powerof their mind.
That's true compassion.
You're recognizing the power oftheir mind.
It may take you to see thesethoughts over and over again.
It's like they're makingexactly what they need to make.
(56:30):
They're perceiving what theyneed to perceive.
All of us.
Whatever we're perceiving, it'sa blessing.
When we see it another way, wekeep them in prison, and that's
why it says here let us forgivehim in your name.
This is forgiveness that we mayunderstand his holiness.
We want to understandeveryone's holiness, right?
So forgive your illusions ofthem, forgive your idea that
(56:55):
they are being victimized byanyone.
So pity and compassion arefalse.
What is it?
Speaker 3 (57:01):
Pity or compassion.
Speaker 1 (57:03):
Well, true, compassion is strong.
It's strength, it's recognizingthe holiness in someone, right,
even though they seem tobelieve that they shouldn't be
in the situation they're in.
Let's say, like if someone saysI miss you, that's where it is,
you see, where the compassioncomes in, because they're
(57:23):
expressing pain and they'rejustifying pain.
They might not even recognizethat that's what's going on.
Speaker 3 (57:29):
So how do we feel about us then when we see
something like that happening?
What's an inappropriate way oflooking at it?
That's truthful.
Speaker 1 (57:39):
That they are having exactly the experience they need
to bring their mind to thetruth.
And the Holy Spirit has them asfar as their teacher, just like
us.
So we're all the same.
So that's when you see, thecompassion comes through.
Because the person believes.
The other person maybe believes, or maybe in your imagination
(58:02):
they believe because you don'tknow anyone from Gaza, maybe.
Maybe in your imagination theybelieve because you don't know
anyone from Gaza.
Maybe, and you know, youbelieve that they are.
You get the sense that they'resuffering.
You bring that thought to thetruth.
There's no justification forfear.
So you bring that thought tothe truth.
In truth, no one's suffering.
Yes, in an illusion people aresuffering.
That's why compassion isnecessary.
Speaker 2 (58:24):
You know we think that dying is some kind of a
horrible thing, but it happenshere and truthfully, I know now
we don't even have to die.
Yeah, but I saw something in aflash that was so.
St Jude Children's Hospital,this four-year-old girl in the
arms of her mother had no hair,she was dying.
(58:44):
And you know, know.
First the camera's on themother and you see she's
suffering.
When the camera turns, thelittle four-year-old is
comforting her mother.
She was so totally lit withlight and completely okay with
everything.
Four year, not even threefour-year-old, not even three
(59:07):
four-year-old.
I choose comfort in a mother.
Speaker 1 (59:09):
Yeah, that's the way to really look at it.
That's the way to look at it.
You know the people.
They need comfort.
They need comfort and thecomfort comes in, knowing that
everything's okay.
That's truly compassionate.
Speaker 3 (59:22):
Well, sometimes the reason that visitors wear sick
people, sick people out isbecause the sick person is
trying to make the visitor feelbetter, Because they feel so bad
.
They think they feel so bad forthe sick person.
But that brings up then thisneed for the sick person to
(59:47):
comfort.
Speaker 2 (59:49):
Oh the healthy.
How does that happen?
Speaker 3 (59:55):
Compassion is strange , sorrowful that they don't
understand their true condition.
So what is compassion?
Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
It's recognizing that it's all love, it's all truth,
it's all light.
The Holy Spirit has them, it'sall the Holy Spirit's thoughts
that the thoughts are giving you.
It's compassion to recognizethere's no justification for
fear.
There's actually nojustification for fear.
That puts a light in the mind.
So when I look at God, how do Ilook at it?
(01:00:26):
Notice that there's nojustification for any fear about
anything that's going on there,that it's all guided and it's
all perfect.
Okay, it's reflecting whatpeople thought of themselves.
Your perception of it is whatyou made of yourself.
You know, to see it like thatchanges the mind because it
(01:00:50):
shines a light in the whole mind.
It lights up the whole mind,right, and so then you actually
connect with those peoplebecause you're joined with them
and you're aware that they'restill all powerful mind.
Speaker 3 (01:01:06):
Right, so you can be moved to help them physically,
sure.
Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
Yeah, there could be physical helping, in that that
doesn't mean that there wouldn'tbe physical helping.
You could be sending donations,who knows?
You go over there whatever thesituation is.
But the main thing is thatyou're willing to see that
there's no justification forfear in any form, so you're not
(01:01:30):
letting yourself get upset andbelieving that that upset is
caused by what's going on overthere, because remember, it
still applies You're never upsetfor the reason you think.
You're upset because you seewhat isn't there.
No one is truly suffering.
These bodies are not real.
Okay, so you start from that andthen let actions come out of
(01:01:54):
that.
Let your actions come from that.
All right, so we're almostthere.
Let us forgive him in your name, that we may understand his
holiness and feel the love forhim, which is your own as in
God's own.
We want to feel the love forhim which is God's love for him.
(01:02:16):
So, people in Gaza, for instanceagain, we want to feel how God
feels about them.
We want to feel that love forthem.
That does not include feelingsorry for them.
That's projecting fear.
So that's adding to theirapparent struggles, because we
influence each other right andthey may be making a choice for
(01:02:38):
fear.
It's likely that a lot of themare making a choice for fear and
that's why they're having suchan intense perception in the
first place.
So they need help, these kindsof intense perceptions.
For most of the people who arehaving the intense perception,
there are certainly moreenlightened people in the same
area.
Know what they're doing andhaving an intense perception,
(01:02:59):
know why they're there.
You know what's going on.
But for the majority of peoplethat are having that intense
perception, they don't know.
They don't understand that thepower of their mind is actually
making that illusion for them,see, so we want to feel the way
God feels about them, so that wecan join with their mind and
(01:03:22):
look on the power of their mind,that they could see how
powerful they are as well andchange their mind, and that'll
change everything, it'll ignitesomething within them, right,
our being, the light of theworld, that's it Ignites it.
Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
They recognize it, they don't know how, and
something somehow that shifts.
Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
Yeah, everyone is going to shift.
Each one of us is like a pieceto the puzzle for bringing back
reality.
So everyone is going to havethat shift.
It's like I heard one mastersay before contemplate their
return, contemplate their returnto sanity, right, instead of
lamenting over their struggles,which is, you know, a lot of us
(01:04:03):
are getting all these differentkinds of therapies, doing all
these therapies to sootheourselves while we keep the idea
that they're victimized.
That's not, that's not helping,that's not working.
So, hooray everyone, thank youfor joining me.
Yeah.

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