A healed mind carries out the plans that it receives through listening to wisdom that is not its own. W135 (ACIM Giant Stride #6)

This weeks Satsang is on one of Cate and Shannon's favorite lessons - W135 If I defend myself, I am attacked. This lesson slowly and carefully takes us through what we defend against and what the defense actually does to us. Cate asks the group a series of questions so that each person can take the time to really find out what defenses they use and what the cost is. Jesus makes it very clear that each defense tightens our mind into believing the body is the self. He helps us realise that all defenses are to protect the "body" - which he reminds us "is not our Self". Shannon and Cate share and help the group to see these ideas with a deeper clarity so there may be a deeper committment to letting defenses go gently. In paragraph 10, Jesus focuses on the defense of "planning". He says that planning is not often recognised as a defense. So he is making us aware of all the plans we make for the body's safety... and asking us to instead, choose an answer that brings peace and harmony by using "present trust" in Him. He says this is the defense that promises a future undisturbed, without a trace of sorrow and with a joy that constantly increases, as life becomes a holy instant, set in time, buy heeding only immortality (Spirit). Shannon leads the group into a beautiful meditation at the end of the session.

Thank you to everyone who joined and thank you to you dear one, who is watching this video back. We hope you can do the writing exercises as instructed so you become more aware of "self-initiated plans".
