now,
here's a preview of powerful women revealed.
Maybe I am learning how to love me more.
Yeah,
Good afternoon and welcome to W A T D's powerful women revealed.
Created and hosted by Nicole Perry.
(00:21):
You're invited to enjoy an ongoing series of personal and educational discussions with a variety of women that want to educate,
inspire and bring awareness to the community.
These women all have a powerful mission and appreciate the opportunity to share their stories,
milestones and successes with you.
Here's your host,
Nicole Perry and Good afternoon and welcome to powerful women revealed I am your host,
(00:46):
Nicole Perry.
And we are going to I am going to be revealing a ton of information about life and the body um being a host and being a hostage,
which will be very interesting,
forgiveness and pardoning and threat and armor.
So this is going to be a very interesting show and I just want to kick off by saying,
(01:12):
oh my God,
what an amazing song that was loved me more by Sam smith.
I am just blown away at how beautiful this song is.
And I know it's probably the proper thing to say that,
wow,
he's so vulnerable.
But once again,
(01:33):
I'm coming to you solo today and we're talking about a course in miracles and I am discovering that it is in fact being invulnerable.
That is the new place where I reside because when I am invulnerable,
I am not subject or susceptible to any harm because I know I have a higher power looking out for me at all times.
(01:59):
So this is just going to be a really good show.
Um I can't wait.
I love bringing you all this information and revealing all the stuff that I'm learning along my journey In real time as I'm learning it.
This is amazing.
I can't wait to listen to some of these episodes in like 10 years from now.
I think it's going to be fascinating.
(02:20):
So the first thing I want to reveal and share and talk about is lesson number 133.
And and this is all about the title of the lesson is I will not value what is value less.
Yeah,
that's um important.
(02:43):
I don't want to value anything that doesn't have any value.
So here we go.
I am reading to you from the second paragraph and a little bit of the third.
You do not ask too much of life,
but far too little.
When you let your mind be drawn to bodily concerns,
(03:04):
to things you buy to eminence as valued by the world.
You ask for sorrow,
not for happiness.
And I actually want to pause for a second here because it talks about bodily concerns.
And hello,
I wrote an entire book that took me an entire year.
(03:25):
Frankly,
this book is a 365 day book as well,
all about the body and emotions and you know,
my vulnerable quote thoughts and all of these things.
So,
I think that this is very interesting that I am now learning that I am not a body like I am.
(03:45):
I've always known that I'm a spiritual being.
It's my spirit on the inside my heart and soul.
I am a spiritual being,
having this amazing human experience,
right?
Some of you may be feeling the same way and you probably have the same concept or have,
(04:07):
you know,
sort of embrace that notion that we are,
you know,
a spiritual,
a soulful being.
And reading this book,
it is really helping me to take that to such a higher level,
another level.
Amazing,
(04:27):
deeper level of the understanding of how spiritual I am.
This is not a body.
I'm not a body,
like I am not a body.
I am not my thoughts and it's it's really quite powerful to slow down frankly in this amazingly fast paced world that just wants us to do,
(04:50):
do do do do so many things instead of just sit and be um Alright,
so,
continuing this course does not attempt to take from you the little that you have,
it does not try to substitute utopian ideas for satis factions which the world contains.
(05:17):
There are no satisfactions in the world.
All right,
yeah,
that's a mouthful.
That's sort of a slap in the head.
There are no satisfactions in the world.
And and again,
taking a pause here.
What I'm hearing this to mean for me is that everything comes from within.
(05:44):
We're not gonna find anything that satisfies us out there.
So,
um alright,
continuing today,
we list the real criteria by which to test all things you think you want unless they meet these sound requirements.
(06:07):
They are not worth desiring at all for they can but replace what offers more.
All right,
I'm gonna have to continue because I'm not sure I even understand that the laws that govern choice,
you cannot make no more.
(06:28):
Then you can make alternatives from which to choose.
The choosing you can do.
Indeed,
You must.
But it is wise to learn the laws you set in motion when you choose and what alternatives you choose between.
(06:50):
So,
I think,
you know,
without reading um the rest of the entire book,
I think what this is getting at is really think about what it is that we do want and even everything that we think we do want.
(07:17):
Perhaps,
dare I say,
we're happier without it.
I think that's really really quite interesting.
I don't even know what to say.
I'm going to move on.
So I'm gonna let you think about that and move on.
I don't have all the answers.
I don't I don't presume that you have all the answers either and I presume.
(07:42):
And I know not presume I know that my journey is going to take an entire lifetime.
I'm not going to have all the answers today.
Um However,
I'm learning so much more So much faster by reading this book.
(08:03):
I have to say that.
Um Alright,
so I'm going to go back to chapter 15 even though as I speak today,
I am actually reading into Chapter 16,
but I'm kind of like in between each week I'm gathering information um from what I've already read.
So this is coming from chapter 15,
(08:24):
paragraph five and the title of this section is the time of rebirth when you are willing to regard All right,
I guess I gotta back up here.
It is not necessarily,
it is not necessary to follow fear through all the cartu itics routes by which it burrows underground and hides in darkness to emerge,
(08:47):
informs quite different from what it is.
Yet it is necessary to examine each one as long as you would retain the principle that governs all of them when you are willing to regard them not as separate,
but as different manifestations of the same idea and one you do not want they go together.
(09:14):
The idea is simply this,
you believe it is possible to be host to the ego or hostage to God,
which is,
it's just so very interesting to me because I'm really,
I'm really starting to understand that the ego is the hostage being hostage two.
(09:43):
The ego IQ mind is where there is not peace.
So that is very,
very interesting because as I've mentioned several times before,
the ego,
Oh,
I have to go to break too mentioned many times before.
(10:05):
The ego is um resentment and guilt and blaming and complaining and rationalization and all of these types of things And that is what we're being hostage to because if we think about it.
Well,
let me hold that thought because when we come back I want to talk about the ego and past Uh and so let me hold that thought and I will take you over to break.
(10:36):
You are listening to powerful women revealed right here on 95 9 WATD Hi,
I'm Nicole Perry creator and host of powerful women revealed.
And in addition to creating and hosting my radio show,
I've presented and led over 150 masterminds for women entrepreneurs recently I have experienced some pretty powerful and instantaneous shifts and now I am offering my virtual coaching services to you wouldn't you love to adapt easy techniques into your everyday life.
(11:18):
You can do it privately or even with a friend,
your life is precious and amazing shifts will happen instantly.
Just like they have for me,
we all want something to believe in.
So let's do this together.
Go to Nicole Perry dot com today and click contact me mm And we are back.
(11:51):
You are listening to powerful women revealed.
I'm your host.
Nicole Perry.
What an amazing song.
Lady gaga hold my hand from Top Gun maverick which just came out.
I believe I'm looking 14 million views on May 6th 2022.
(12:12):
So uh I guess I'll be wanting to see that movie very soon.
Um alright,
so continuing from before we went off to break,
I am going to skip ahead because I I'm skipping ahead into Chapter 16 just for a second because I want to share with you something that I read today,
(12:33):
which is very relevant for what we're talking about.
And um I went out to break and said I wanted to share something about the Ego in the past and here's what I read today.
The holy instant is the opposite of the Egos,
the egos fixed belief in salvation through vengeance for the past in the Holy Instant.
(12:58):
It is understood that the past is gone and with its passing,
the drive for vengeance has been uprooted and has disappeared.
I'm not there yet,
I wanna be there.
I'm not there 100%,,
(13:19):
I wish I could say that I was,
but frankly I don't wish I could because my journey,
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be at every millisecond of every day,
which are you.
So I believe you are exactly where you're meant to be at every millisecond of every day.
(13:40):
So,
but I just thought that was interesting to share with you,
you know,
in terms of the course in miracles,
words about the ego and the past.
So I'm going to continue in this um Time of rebirth section.
I was reading before break,
this is so I'll reread the last sentence,
The idea is simply this you believe it is possible to be host to the ego or hostage to God.
(14:05):
This is the choice you think you have and the decision you believe that you must make,
you see no other alternatives for you cannot accept the fact that sacrifice gets nothing.
Sacrifice is so essential to your thought system,
(14:31):
that salvation apart from sacrifice means nothing to you.
I think I should pause um because this was really interesting to me,
because when we think of sacrifice,
we think of all the things that we're going to give up.
(14:53):
And I talk about that in my love Diet book.
All the things I gave up pizza,
everybody around me is eating pizza.
So I think that this is really helping put it into perspective that,
you know,
we're not what we think when we sacrifice were um giving up and we're getting nothing,
(15:19):
but it's the other way around.
It's sort of like that pleasure and pain thing that we talked about in,
I don't know,
like 10 podcasts ago um that this thing I learned from Tony Robbins,
that we it's important for us to attach pain to the thing that we want to let go of.
(15:41):
I'll just give you a very simple example of a fried clam platter.
We attach pleasure to the fried clam platter because we know that it tastes good and it's delicious and that's great and dandy,
but not if we if our body is um in a place where it's not healthy.
(16:07):
So now I have to turn the tables and attach pleasure to all the delicious yummy green vegetables and basil pesto and all the yummy green things as opposed to putting pain to a salad.
So hopefully that makes sense.
(16:29):
Um and so it's it continues.
Sacrifice is so essential to your thought system,
that salvation apart from sacrifice means nothing to you.
I think I already read that your confusion of sacrifice and love is so profound.
(16:49):
Your confusion of sacrifice and love.
So the confusion of it is so profound that you cannot conceive of love without sacrifice.
Isn't that amazing?
And it is this,
that you must look upon sacrifice is attack,
(17:10):
not love.
Hello,
Ding dong,
We have a winner,
winner winner chicken dinner.
So sacrifices,
attack,
not love.
And sacrifice is not really sacrifice,
sacrifice is essentially telling ourselves that we love ourselves to let go of the things that no longer serve us.
(17:38):
Um and it says,
if you would,
we gotta go to break.
So I'm going to wrap it up with this,
if you would accept.
But this one idea,
this one idea,
your fear of love would vanish guilt cannot last when the idea of sacrifice has been removed.
(17:59):
For if there is sacrifice,
someone must pay and someone must get.
And the only question that remains is how much is the price and forgetting what drop the microphone on that one.
I hope you stay with me,
You are listening to powerful women revealed.
I'm your host.
(18:20):
Nicole Perry.
And this is the place to go.
And the place to be right here on 95 9 W A T D Can you say that you truly love your diet?
And can you say it with confidence this time next year?
Nicole Perry can And it's not because she lost about £25.
Nicole loves her diet because it's easy to follow what she eats is delicious and how she eats is completely sustainable.
(18:43):
You can retrain your brain to just like Nicole did her book.
I am on a love diet is available on amazon now along with the companion journal or get your coffee today by visiting.
I love my diet dot com.
Stuck in my emotion.
(19:06):
Somebody give me a and we are back.
You are listening to powerful women revealed I'm your host Nicole Perry.
I could play their music every single day.
I wanted to play the whole song.
That was the new respects No Drama.
This is one of my favorite bands ever.
(19:28):
Right now.
In this moment.
I love them.
I could watch them all day long.
Um and and the music.
Well yeah,
watch them and listen to them all day long.
Um Alright,
so we're going to continue.
I am going into lesson 1 30 for and I have some major stuff to share with you.
I have exclamation points all over my page here and I'm just going to jump right in.
(19:53):
So this is forgiveness and pardon?
So forgiveness is the only thing that stands for truth in the illusions of the world.
Forgiveness is the only thing that stands for truth in the illusions of the world.
(20:15):
Okay.
It sees their nothingness And it looks straight through the 1000 forms in which they may appear.
That's really quite profound.
And frankly,
we've talked about forgiveness so many times and you know,
(20:38):
and illusions and the illusions of the world are just the misperceptions and anything that's not truth,
anything that's not true.
And again,
the illusions are the ego.
So um this is alright,
(20:59):
ready for this.
The strength of pardon is its honesty,
which is so uncorrupted that it sees illusions as illusions,
not as truth.
It is because of this that it becomes the undersea vir in the face of lies,
(21:23):
the great restore er of the simple truth by its ability to overlook what is not there.
Because let me pause for a second here,
illusions are not there.
The attack thoughts,
it doesn't exist.
The ego doesn't exist.
Remember,
(21:43):
It's really quite interesting that we're always talking about ego,
but then the ego doesn't exist.
It's it's not easy still for me,
I'm five months into this for me to wrap my brain around the fact that ego is an illusion and it doesn't exist yet.
Here we are talking about it.
(22:05):
So that in itself is just really interesting and and I'm I'm trying,
I'm doing my best to let go of the ego and the egoist mind and all these illusions that are inside me and I'm doing my best to let them go and not feel guilt,
not put guilt on other people and all these things.
(22:25):
Um it's just interesting that it doesn't exist but yet we talk about it right,
it's just very interesting.
Okay,
uh let's see where did I break off here.
Um it is because of this that it becomes the un deceiver in the face of lies,
(22:47):
the great restore of the simple truth,
I read that by its ability to overlook what is not there,
it opens up the way to truth which has been blocked by dreams of guilt.
Now are you free to follow in the way your true forgiveness opens up to you for if one brother has received this gift of you,
(23:11):
the door is open to yourself.
So this is all about the pardon,
the strength of pardon being its honesty and again,
which is so uncorrupted that it sees illusions as illusions,
it's really quite interesting,
I'm I'm doing this work myself obviously and lately I have been feeling very um what's the word,
(23:44):
I feel kind of like I'm in limbo like I really am starting to understand a lot of what I'm reading but yet I'm I'm in this limbo like we talked earlier about the host of um the ego and hostage to God,
(24:05):
I really want to flip it,
I want to be you know the host to God and not the hostage to ego,
But I'm 54,
so I've been living like this for a really,
really long time and we also talked about the holy instant where things can happen in a holy instant and it's okay that it's not happening in a holy instant for me and I love I love learning and I love teaching all of this at the same time and don't they say what we most want to learn is what we teach and I'm pretty much doing that with you.
(24:54):
So it's just it's I mean I could go on and on and on,
I only have 1 45 minute show a week.
I don't know how I could possibly read more to you but I wish I could.
Um anyway we are going to go to break because I'm probably a little bit over anyway,
so um let's take another quick break and I hope you stay with me,
(25:19):

I completely forgot we are back.
I am Nicole Perry your host.
This is powerful women revealed.
Um yeah,
Oh my God,
what a great song.
This is lunch money louis ain't too cool and I'm in love with this hilarious friendship.
(27:45):

Oh my God,
hilarious and I love his song bills.
So if you ever go check that out,
take a moment,
download it,
listen to it,
embrace it.
It's so much fun.
Alright,
back to business here.
I am coming to you from this section of lesson 135 and this is might be a little bit of a slap in the face here.
(28:13):
It's been about a week since I've read it but right from the get go it sounds like it's going to be a little slap in the face.
All right,
here we go.
You operate.
This is let me just say the lesson 1 35.
The title is if I defend myself,
I am attacked Oh and I have to start a little sooner than that.
Alright if I defend myself,
(28:33):
I am attacked is the name of the lesson the title and it is this you do when you attempt to plan the future,
activate the past or organize the present as you wish.
Now let me press pause for a second here because I think I've mentioned it before that maybe on the last show that it doesn't really matter what Nicole perry wants.
(29:02):
Like I'm doing all this planning and planning the show and planning what I'm going to do for the weekend and all these different things and as I'm planning and I'm realizing I'm sort of handing it over and asking you know,
where would you have me go,
what would you have me do,
(29:23):
who would you have me talk to and what would you have me say?
Alright,
so let me continue.
You operate from the belief,
you must protect yourself from what is happening because it must contain what threatens you.
A sense of threat is an acknowledgement of an inherent weakness,
(29:44):
a belief that there is danger which has power to call on you to make appropriate defense.
The world is based on this insane belief and all its structures,
all its thoughts and doubts,
its penalties and heavy ornaments,
(30:07):
it's legal definitions and its codes,
it's ethics and its leaders and its gods all serve but to preserve its sense of threat for no one walks the world in armature but must have terror striking at his heart.
(30:33):
Oh this just saddens me thinking about all of this.
It just makes me feel sad that all this time I've been walking through life this way,
like with my defenses up,
you know,
i it's just it makes me sad that I feel like I must protect myself and I must defend myself of all the thoughts and the doubts and the heavy stuff in the world and the leaders and the gods and even comments and its gods like you know that I shall know what I'm saying.
(31:22):
That all wrong thou shalt not put any other gods before hours,
I don't know how that goes.
Um but I just feel so sad that I'm like going through life this way.
And so it's so I'm just I feel so thankful and so blessed That I still have time.
(31:43):
I'm 54.
I still have time.
I have 50 plus years or 60 years to live and and to to not have this heavy burdensome hostage ego that I've got going on.
So,
all right,
I'm going to continue.
I'm going to go over to.
There's a couple more things I want to read before the show is up.
(32:06):
So,
um page 3 32.
So I'm back now.
I'm in chapter 16.
So,
um Chapter 16.
And this is trying to keep myself organized here.
The power of holiness.
Right?
Number one,
(32:26):
Chapter 16.
Power of Holiness.
Alright,
so,
I'm going to read a little bit again,
concern yourself not with the extension of holiness for the nature.
Oh,
and this is all about miracles.
Concern yourself not with the extension of holiness for the nature of miracles you do not understand,
(32:46):
nor do you do them.
It is their extension far beyond the limits you perceive that demonstrates.
You do not do them.
Why should you worry how the miracle extends to all the sun ship when you do not understand the miracle itself.
One attribute is no more difficult to understand than is the whole if miracles are at all,
(33:15):
their attributes would have to be miraculous being part of them.
Isn't that beautiful.
So we I mean I've been reading to you of course in miracles and I haven't really shared a whole lot about miracles.
So this was exciting to read this to you and what I'm understanding is that uh every person here,
(33:41):
this please every person on the planet,
every being,
every animal,
every bug,
every creature,
every plant,
everything and everyone is,
I just lost my train of thought,
everything and everyone,
we are all um entitled two miracles,
(34:07):
small or large.
And it is amazing.
There's another section,
I don't know where it is.
So I can't even look for it for you.
There's another section I read that um even if you don't believe in miracles,
you believed it when a tiny little miracle happened and if it only happened once it is eternal and therefore you must have to believe in miracles because if you believed in one,
(34:38):
you believe that it exists and something to that nature and it was just really mind blowing to me.
Um and so I I want to understand and embrace and know that I am entitled to every tiny little miracle.
There is out there not just massive miracles from when my newborn baby 21 years ago was in the hospital.
(35:04):
Like I I want little tiny miracles and I feel like that's what I'm receiving because the little insight that I'm receiving are tiny little miracles.
Um I believe,
I think the little little insights that I'm getting while reading this because it's a it is a culmination,
(35:26):
like I'm building on this,
I'm 5.5 months into it and it's a whole year and then I'm going to continue on.
But every day I'm reading a little bit at a time,
we talked about the,
you know the giant elephant book.
Every day I'm reading a little bit more and a little bit more and it's these teeny tiny little um pieces of information,
(35:51):
these pieces of knowledge that I'm building on day after day after day and it's it's just so beautiful.
It's just so beautiful.
I hope you're on this journey with me.
Um I have a couple of more quotes to read to you before we go out for the day.
So hang on here a second because I'm these pages I have like stuff all over the place to share with you.
(36:17):
Um Alright,
so here we go.
This is,
wait a minute.
Page 3 32.
I just wanna make sure I covered all of that.
Yes,
I did.
And oh you know what,
Before we do that one more,
a better and far more helpful way to think of miracles.
(36:39):
Is this oh this is perfect.
You do not understand them either in part or in whole yet.
They have been done through you.
Oh my gosh,
this is exactly what I was talking about that I said,
I don't want to try to figure out how to find it.
Isn't this amazing.
Isn't this a miracle,
therefore your understanding cannot be necessary.
(37:00):
Yet it is still impossible to accomplish what you do not understand.
And so there must be something in you that does understand.
I want to read that again,
a better and far more helpful way to think of miracles.
Is this?
You do not understand them either in part or in whole,
(37:20):
yet they have been done through you.
Therefore your understanding cannot be necessary.
Yet it is still impossible to accomplish what you do not understand.
And so there must be something in you that does understand.
Oh my God,
how amazing was that?
And now I'm going out to the show with the final,
(37:44):
I have two little quotes that I want to read Um to you to close out the show and let me see here at page 335.
All right,
you ready for this?
This is a course and how to know yourself.
Isn't that beautiful?
I put our next to that.
(38:05):
I'm like I have to share that on the radio because I think that is really,
really powerful and important and one more are you ready Love calls but hate would have you stay.
Isn't that beautiful.
On that note.
I believe we have a wrap.
(38:26):
What a great show today.
Thank you so much for listening with me.
I'm really so extremely blessed and thankful and that you're following with me that you're following along with me.
I see lots of people downloading the show,
so I'm excited to see that.
I hope your journaling along and um again,
(38:48):
thank you so much for listening.
Thank you for helping me and systemic racism by educating ourselves,
shifting the language inside our homes and for caring about every single fellow human being that walks this earth.
I hope you will tune in next sunday after the news at noon.
Until then I'm your host,
(39:10):
Nicole Perry have a great week and remember knowledge is power and it's what you do with that knowledge that matters.
Thank you.
(39:36):
Why don't you,
you used to know.
now,
here's a preview of powerful women revealed.
Maybe I am learning how to love me more.
Yeah,
Good afternoon and welcome to W A T D's powerful women revealed.
Created and hosted by Nicole Perry.
(00:21):
You're invited to enjoy an ongoing series of personal and educational discussions with a variety of women that want to educate,
inspire and bring awareness to the community.
These women all have a powerful mission and appreciate the opportunity to share their stories,
milestones and successes with you.
Here's your host,
Nicole Perry and Good afternoon and welcome to powerful women revealed I am your host,
(00:46):
Nicole Perry.
And we are going to I am going to be revealing a ton of information about life and the body um being a host and being a hostage,
which will be very interesting,
forgiveness and pardoning and threat and armor.
So this is going to be a very interesting show and I just want to kick off by saying,
(01:12):
oh my God,
what an amazing song that was loved me more by Sam smith.
I am just blown away at how beautiful this song is.
And I know it's probably the proper thing to say that,
wow,
he's so vulnerable.
But once again,
(01:33):
I'm coming to you solo today and we're talking about a course in miracles and I am discovering that it is in fact being invulnerable.
That is the new place where I reside because when I am invulnerable,
I am not subject or susceptible to any harm because I know I have a higher power looking out for me at all times.
(01:59):
So this is just going to be a really good show.
Um I can't wait.
I love bringing you all this information and revealing all the stuff that I'm learning along my journey In real time as I'm learning it.
This is amazing.
I can't wait to listen to some of these episodes in like 10 years from now.
I think it's going to be fascinating.
(02:20):
So the first thing I want to reveal and share and talk about is lesson number 133.
And and this is all about the title of the lesson is I will not value what is value less.
Yeah,
that's um important.
(02:43):
I don't want to value anything that doesn't have any value.
So here we go.
I am reading to you from the second paragraph and a little bit of the third.
You do not ask too much of life,
but far too little.
When you let your mind be drawn to bodily concerns,
(03:04):
to things you buy to eminence as valued by the world.
You ask for sorrow,
not for happiness.
And I actually want to pause for a second here because it talks about bodily concerns.
And hello,
I wrote an entire book that took me an entire year.
(03:25):
Frankly,
this book is a 365 day book as well,
all about the body and emotions and you know,
my vulnerable quote thoughts and all of these things.
So,
I think that this is very interesting that I am now learning that I am not a body like I am.
(03:45):
I've always known that I'm a spiritual being.
It's my spirit on the inside my heart and soul.
I am a spiritual being,
having this amazing human experience,
right?
Some of you may be feeling the same way and you probably have the same concept or have,
(04:07):
you know,
sort of embrace that notion that we are,
you know,
a spiritual,
a soulful being.
And reading this book,
it is really helping me to take that to such a higher level,
another level.
Amazing,
(04:27):
deeper level of the understanding of how spiritual I am.
This is not a body.
I'm not a body,
like I am not a body.
I am not my thoughts and it's it's really quite powerful to slow down frankly in this amazingly fast paced world that just wants us to do,
(04:50):
do do do do so many things instead of just sit and be um Alright,
so,
continuing this course does not attempt to take from you the little that you have,
it does not try to substitute utopian ideas for satis factions which the world contains.
(05:17):
There are no satisfactions in the world.
All right,
yeah,
that's a mouthful.
That's sort of a slap in the head.
There are no satisfactions in the world.
And and again,
taking a pause here.
What I'm hearing this to mean for me is that everything comes from within.
(05:44):
We're not gonna find anything that satisfies us out there.
So,
um alright,
continuing today,
we list the real criteria by which to test all things you think you want unless they meet these sound requirements.
(06:07):
They are not worth desiring at all for they can but replace what offers more.
All right,
I'm gonna have to continue because I'm not sure I even understand that the laws that govern choice,
you cannot make no more.
(06:28):
Then you can make alternatives from which to choose.
The choosing you can do.
Indeed,
You must.
But it is wise to learn the laws you set in motion when you choose and what alternatives you choose between.
(06:50):
So,
I think,
you know,
without reading um the rest of the entire book,
I think what this is getting at is really think about what it is that we do want and even everything that we think we do want.
(07:17):
Perhaps,
dare I say,
we're happier without it.
I think that's really really quite interesting.
I don't even know what to say.
I'm going to move on.
So I'm gonna let you think about that and move on.
I don't have all the answers.
I don't I don't presume that you have all the answers either and I presume.
(07:42):
And I know not presume I know that my journey is going to take an entire lifetime.
I'm not going to have all the answers today.
Um However,
I'm learning so much more So much faster by reading this book.
(08:03):
I have to say that.
Um Alright,
so I'm going to go back to chapter 15 even though as I speak today,
I am actually reading into Chapter 16,
but I'm kind of like in between each week I'm gathering information um from what I've already read.
So this is coming from chapter 15,
(08:24):
paragraph five and the title of this section is the time of rebirth when you are willing to regard All right,
I guess I gotta back up here.
It is not necessarily,
it is not necessary to follow fear through all the cartu itics routes by which it burrows underground and hides in darkness to emerge,
(08:47):
informs quite different from what it is.
Yet it is necessary to examine each one as long as you would retain the principle that governs all of them when you are willing to regard them not as separate,
but as different manifestations of the same idea and one you do not want they go together.
(09:14):
The idea is simply this,
you believe it is possible to be host to the ego or hostage to God,
which is,
it's just so very interesting to me because I'm really,
I'm really starting to understand that the ego is the hostage being hostage two.
(09:43):
The ego IQ mind is where there is not peace.
So that is very,
very interesting because as I've mentioned several times before,
the ego,
Oh,
I have to go to break too mentioned many times before.
(10:05):
The ego is um resentment and guilt and blaming and complaining and rationalization and all of these types of things And that is what we're being hostage to because if we think about it.
Well,
let me hold that thought because when we come back I want to talk about the ego and past Uh and so let me hold that thought and I will take you over to break.
(10:36):
You are listening to powerful women revealed right here on 95 9 WATD Hi,
I'm Nicole Perry creator and host of powerful women revealed.
And in addition to creating and hosting my radio show,
I've presented and led over 150 masterminds for women entrepreneurs recently I have experienced some pretty powerful and instantaneous shifts and now I am offering my virtual coaching services to you wouldn't you love to adapt easy techniques into your everyday life.
(11:18):
You can do it privately or even with a friend,
your life is precious and amazing shifts will happen instantly.
Just like they have for me,
we all want something to believe in.
So let's do this together.
Go to Nicole Perry dot com today and click contact me mm And we are back.
(11:51):
You are listening to powerful women revealed.
I'm your host.
Nicole Perry.
What an amazing song.
Lady gaga hold my hand from Top Gun maverick which just came out.
I believe I'm looking 14 million views on May 6th 2022.
(12:12):
So uh I guess I'll be wanting to see that movie very soon.
Um alright,
so continuing from before we went off to break,
I am going to skip ahead because I I'm skipping ahead into Chapter 16 just for a second because I want to share with you something that I read today,
(12:33):
which is very relevant for what we're talking about.
And um I went out to break and said I wanted to share something about the Ego in the past and here's what I read today.
The holy instant is the opposite of the Egos,
the egos fixed belief in salvation through vengeance for the past in the Holy Instant.
(12:58):
It is understood that the past is gone and with its passing,
the drive for vengeance has been uprooted and has disappeared.
I'm not there yet,
I wanna be there.
I'm not there 100%,,
(13:19):
I wish I could say that I was,
but frankly I don't wish I could because my journey,
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be at every millisecond of every day,
which are you.
So I believe you are exactly where you're meant to be at every millisecond of every day.
(13:40):
So,
but I just thought that was interesting to share with you,
you know,
in terms of the course in miracles,
words about the ego and the past.
So I'm going to continue in this um Time of rebirth section.
I was reading before break,
this is so I'll reread the last sentence,
The idea is simply this you believe it is possible to be host to the ego or hostage to God.
(14:05):
This is the choice you think you have and the decision you believe that you must make,
you see no other alternatives for you cannot accept the fact that sacrifice gets nothing.
Sacrifice is so essential to your thought system,
(14:31):
that salvation apart from sacrifice means nothing to you.
I think I should pause um because this was really interesting to me,
because when we think of sacrifice,
we think of all the things that we're going to give up.
(14:53):
And I talk about that in my love Diet book.
All the things I gave up pizza,
everybody around me is eating pizza.
So I think that this is really helping put it into perspective that,
you know,
we're not what we think when we sacrifice were um giving up and we're getting nothing,
(15:19):
but it's the other way around.
It's sort of like that pleasure and pain thing that we talked about in,
I don't know,
like 10 podcasts ago um that this thing I learned from Tony Robbins,
that we it's important for us to attach pain to the thing that we want to let go of.
(15:41):
I'll just give you a very simple example of a fried clam platter.
We attach pleasure to the fried clam platter because we know that it tastes good and it's delicious and that's great and dandy,
but not if we if our body is um in a place where it's not healthy.
(16:07):
So now I have to turn the tables and attach pleasure to all the delicious yummy green vegetables and basil pesto and all the yummy green things as opposed to putting pain to a salad.
So hopefully that makes sense.
(16:29):
Um and so it's it continues.
Sacrifice is so essential to your thought system,
that salvation apart from sacrifice means nothing to you.
I think I already read that your confusion of sacrifice and love is so profound.
(16:49):
Your confusion of sacrifice and love.
So the confusion of it is so profound that you cannot conceive of love without sacrifice.
Isn't that amazing?
And it is this,
that you must look upon sacrifice is attack,
(17:10):
not love.
Hello,
Ding dong,
We have a winner,
winner winner chicken dinner.
So sacrifices,
attack,
not love.
And sacrifice is not really sacrifice,
sacrifice is essentially telling ourselves that we love ourselves to let go of the things that no longer serve us.
(17:38):
Um and it says,
if you would,
we gotta go to break.
So I'm going to wrap it up with this,
if you would accept.
But this one idea,
this one idea,
your fear of love would vanish guilt cannot last when the idea of sacrifice has been removed.
(17:59):
For if there is sacrifice,
someone must pay and someone must get.
And the only question that remains is how much is the price and forgetting what drop the microphone on that one.
I hope you stay with me,
You are listening to powerful women revealed.
I'm your host.
(18:20):
Nicole Perry.
And this is the place to go.
And the place to be right here on 95 9 W A T D Can you say that you truly love your diet?
And can you say it with confidence this time next year?
Nicole Perry can And it's not because she lost about £25.
Nicole loves her diet because it's easy to follow what she eats is delicious and how she eats is completely sustainable.
(18:43):
You can retrain your brain to just like Nicole did her book.
I am on a love diet is available on amazon now along with the companion journal or get your coffee today by visiting.
I love my diet dot com.
Stuck in my emotion.
(19:06):
Somebody give me a and we are back.
You are listening to powerful women revealed I'm your host Nicole Perry.
I could play their music every single day.
I wanted to play the whole song.
That was the new respects No Drama.
This is one of my favorite bands ever.
(19:28):
Right now.
In this moment.
I love them.
I could watch them all day long.
Um and and the music.
Well yeah,
watch them and listen to them all day long.
Um Alright,
so we're going to continue.
I am going into lesson 1 30 for and I have some major stuff to share with you.
I have exclamation points all over my page here and I'm just going to jump right in.
(19:53):
So this is forgiveness and pardon?
So forgiveness is the only thing that stands for truth in the illusions of the world.
Forgiveness is the only thing that stands for truth in the illusions of the world.
(20:15):
Okay.
It sees their nothingness And it looks straight through the 1000 forms in which they may appear.
That's really quite profound.
And frankly,
we've talked about forgiveness so many times and you know,
(20:38):
and illusions and the illusions of the world are just the misperceptions and anything that's not truth,
anything that's not true.
And again,
the illusions are the ego.
So um this is alright,
(20:59):
ready for this.
The strength of pardon is its honesty,
which is so uncorrupted that it sees illusions as illusions,
not as truth.
It is because of this that it becomes the undersea vir in the face of lies,
(21:23):
the great restore er of the simple truth by its ability to overlook what is not there.
Because let me pause for a second here,
illusions are not there.
The attack thoughts,
it doesn't exist.
The ego doesn't exist.
Remember,
(21:43):
It's really quite interesting that we're always talking about ego,
but then the ego doesn't exist.
It's it's not easy still for me,
I'm five months into this for me to wrap my brain around the fact that ego is an illusion and it doesn't exist yet.
Here we are talking about it.
(22:05):
So that in itself is just really interesting and and I'm I'm trying,
I'm doing my best to let go of the ego and the egoist mind and all these illusions that are inside me and I'm doing my best to let them go and not feel guilt,
not put guilt on other people and all these things.
(22:25):
Um it's just interesting that it doesn't exist but yet we talk about it right,
it's just very interesting.
Okay,
uh let's see where did I break off here.
Um it is because of this that it becomes the un deceiver in the face of lies,
(22:47):
the great restore of the simple truth,
I read that by its ability to overlook what is not there,
it opens up the way to truth which has been blocked by dreams of guilt.
Now are you free to follow in the way your true forgiveness opens up to you for if one brother has received this gift of you,
(23:11):
the door is open to yourself.
So this is all about the pardon,
the strength of pardon being its honesty and again,
which is so uncorrupted that it sees illusions as illusions,
it's really quite interesting,
I'm I'm doing this work myself obviously and lately I have been feeling very um what's the word,
(23:44):
I feel kind of like I'm in limbo like I really am starting to understand a lot of what I'm reading but yet I'm I'm in this limbo like we talked earlier about the host of um the ego and hostage to God,
(24:05):
I really want to flip it,
I want to be you know the host to God and not the hostage to ego,
But I'm 54,
so I've been living like this for a really,
really long time and we also talked about the holy instant where things can happen in a holy instant and it's okay that it's not happening in a holy instant for me and I love I love learning and I love teaching all of this at the same time and don't they say what we most want to learn is what we teach and I'm pretty much doing that with you.
(24:54):
So it's just it's I mean I could go on and on and on,
I only have 1 45 minute show a week.
I don't know how I could possibly read more to you but I wish I could.
Um anyway we are going to go to break because I'm probably a little bit over anyway,
so um let's take another quick break and I hope you stay with me,
(25:19):

I completely forgot we are back.
I am Nicole Perry your host.
This is powerful women revealed.
Um yeah,
Oh my God,
what a great song.
This is lunch money louis ain't too cool and I'm in love with this hilarious friendship.
(27:45):

Oh my God,
hilarious and I love his song bills.
So if you ever go check that out,
take a moment,
download it,
listen to it,
embrace it.
It's so much fun.
Alright,
back to business here.
I am coming to you from this section of lesson 135 and this is might be a little bit of a slap in the face here.
(28:13):
It's been about a week since I've read it but right from the get go it sounds like it's going to be a little slap in the face.
All right,
here we go.
You operate.
This is let me just say the lesson 1 35.
The title is if I defend myself,
I am attacked Oh and I have to start a little sooner than that.
Alright if I defend myself,
(28:33):
I am attacked is the name of the lesson the title and it is this you do when you attempt to plan the future,
activate the past or organize the present as you wish.
Now let me press pause for a second here because I think I've mentioned it before that maybe on the last show that it doesn't really matter what Nicole perry wants.
(29:02):
Like I'm doing all this planning and planning the show and planning what I'm going to do for the weekend and all these different things and as I'm planning and I'm realizing I'm sort of handing it over and asking you know,
where would you have me go,
what would you have me do,
(29:23):
who would you have me talk to and what would you have me say?
Alright,
so let me continue.
You operate from the belief,
you must protect yourself from what is happening because it must contain what threatens you.
A sense of threat is an acknowledgement of an inherent weakness,
(29:44):
a belief that there is danger which has power to call on you to make appropriate defense.
The world is based on this insane belief and all its structures,
all its thoughts and doubts,
its penalties and heavy ornaments,
(30:07):
it's legal definitions and its codes,
it's ethics and its leaders and its gods all serve but to preserve its sense of threat for no one walks the world in armature but must have terror striking at his heart.
(30:33):
Oh this just saddens me thinking about all of this.
It just makes me feel sad that all this time I've been walking through life this way,
like with my defenses up,
you know,
i it's just it makes me sad that I feel like I must protect myself and I must defend myself of all the thoughts and the doubts and the heavy stuff in the world and the leaders and the gods and even comments and its gods like you know that I shall know what I'm saying.
(31:22):
That all wrong thou shalt not put any other gods before hours,
I don't know how that goes.
Um but I just feel so sad that I'm like going through life this way.
And so it's so I'm just I feel so thankful and so blessed That I still have time.
(31:43):
I'm 54.
I still have time.
I have 50 plus years or 60 years to live and and to to not have this heavy burdensome hostage ego that I've got going on.
So,
all right,
I'm going to continue.
I'm going to go over to.
There's a couple more things I want to read before the show is up.
(32:06):
So,
um page 3 32.
So I'm back now.
I'm in chapter 16.
So,
um Chapter 16.
And this is trying to keep myself organized here.
The power of holiness.
Right?
Number one,
(32:26):
Chapter 16.
Power of Holiness.
Alright,
so,
I'm going to read a little bit again,
concern yourself not with the extension of holiness for the nature.
Oh,
and this is all about miracles.
Concern yourself not with the extension of holiness for the nature of miracles you do not understand,
(32:46):
nor do you do them.
It is their extension far beyond the limits you perceive that demonstrates.
You do not do them.
Why should you worry how the miracle extends to all the sun ship when you do not understand the miracle itself.
One attribute is no more difficult to understand than is the whole if miracles are at all,
(33:15):
their attributes would have to be miraculous being part of them.
Isn't that beautiful.
So we I mean I've been reading to you of course in miracles and I haven't really shared a whole lot about miracles.
So this was exciting to read this to you and what I'm understanding is that uh every person here,
(33:41):
this please every person on the planet,
every being,
every animal,
every bug,
every creature,
every plant,
everything and everyone is,
I just lost my train of thought,
everything and everyone,
we are all um entitled two miracles,
(34:07):
small or large.
And it is amazing.
There's another section,
I don't know where it is.
So I can't even look for it for you.
There's another section I read that um even if you don't believe in miracles,
you believed it when a tiny little miracle happened and if it only happened once it is eternal and therefore you must have to believe in miracles because if you believed in one,
(34:38):
you believe that it exists and something to that nature and it was just really mind blowing to me.
Um and so I I want to understand and embrace and know that I am entitled to every tiny little miracle.
There is out there not just massive miracles from when my newborn baby 21 years ago was in the hospital.
(35:04):
Like I I want little tiny miracles and I feel like that's what I'm receiving because the little insight that I'm receiving are tiny little miracles.
Um I believe,
I think the little little insights that I'm getting while reading this because it's a it is a culmination,
(35:26):
like I'm building on this,
I'm 5.5 months into it and it's a whole year and then I'm going to continue on.
But every day I'm reading a little bit at a time,
we talked about the,
you know the giant elephant book.
Every day I'm reading a little bit more and a little bit more and it's these teeny tiny little um pieces of information,
(35:51):
these pieces of knowledge that I'm building on day after day after day and it's it's just so beautiful.
It's just so beautiful.
I hope you're on this journey with me.
Um I have a couple of more quotes to read to you before we go out for the day.
So hang on here a second because I'm these pages I have like stuff all over the place to share with you.
(36:17):
Um Alright,
so here we go.
This is,
wait a minute.
Page 3 32.
I just wanna make sure I covered all of that.
Yes,
I did.
And oh you know what,
Before we do that one more,
a better and far more helpful way to think of miracles.
(36:39):
Is this oh this is perfect.
You do not understand them either in part or in whole yet.
They have been done through you.
Oh my gosh,
this is exactly what I was talking about that I said,
I don't want to try to figure out how to find it.
Isn't this amazing.
Isn't this a miracle,
therefore your understanding cannot be necessary.
(37:00):
Yet it is still impossible to accomplish what you do not understand.
And so there must be something in you that does understand.
I want to read that again,
a better and far more helpful way to think of miracles.
Is this?
You do not understand them either in part or in whole,
(37:20):
yet they have been done through you.
Therefore your understanding cannot be necessary.
Yet it is still impossible to accomplish what you do not understand.
And so there must be something in you that does understand.
Oh my God,
how amazing was that?
And now I'm going out to the show with the final,
(37:44):
I have two little quotes that I want to read Um to you to close out the show and let me see here at page 335.
All right,
you ready for this?
This is a course and how to know yourself.
Isn't that beautiful?
I put our next to that.
(38:05):
I'm like I have to share that on the radio because I think that is really,
really powerful and important and one more are you ready Love calls but hate would have you stay.
Isn't that beautiful.
On that note.
I believe we have a wrap.
(38:26):
