The people of the world will never live in
peace until the people of the world have inner peace. If you want to
have world peace, the only way to do it in a lasting and meaningful way
is to bring about a condition of inner peace within the people who
appear to be here. As J says in his Course, 'What you see is the outside
picture of an inward condition.' ~ Your Immortal Reality

Just A Wind-up Toy
The next time you get upset with someone's
behavior, think of their body as being a wind-up toy. If you really knew
that the body was just a wind-up toy, then it couldn't upset you, no
matter what it said or did. If you really understood that what you were
seeing wasn't true, then it wouldn't bother you at all. That's the way
you should be with people who give you a difficult time. ~ Your Immortal Reality

Forgiveness is Practical
Don't let anyone tell you forgiveness isn't
practical on the level of form. Indeed, it can make all the difference
in the world. Choosing true forgiveness and the Holy Spirit as your
Teacher is NOT part of the ego's script - it's a decision YOU have to
make in order to be free of the ego's script.

No One is Special
Keep in mind that there is only one of two
things you can do - make something real or forgive it - then any new
abilities that come your way should be given to the Holy Spirit and used
under His direction. The Manual for Teachers says that no
one has any powers that are not available to everyone. The Holy Spirit
would certainly remind you that you're not special, and you shouldn't
try to convince yourself or others that you are. ~ The Disappearance of
the Universe

Jesus Went Beyond Being Human
J's Love, like God's, was total, impersonal,
non-selective and all-embracing. He treated everyone equally, from rabbi
to prostitute. He was not a body. He was no longer a human being. He
had reclaimed his place with God as pure spirit. This is pure
non-dualism: an attitude that, along with the Holy Spirit, will lead you
to what you are. You and J are the same thing. We all are. There is
nothing else.

Letting Go of the World (Psyhcologically)
The world that seems to hold you prisoner can
be escaped by anyone who does not hold it dear. Withdraw all value you
have placed upon its meager offerings and senseless gifts, and let the
gift of God replace them all. ~ J-Dog, A Course in Miracles

The Forgiveness of Relationships
There’s no getting away from the fact that
it’s always about freeing ourselves from the unconscious guilt, which
frees us from everything. And sooner or later, in order to do that, it
always comes back to the forgiveness of relationships. As
the Course puts it, ‘The Holy Spirit teaches that you always meet
yourself, and the encounter is holy because you are. The ego teaches
that you always encounter your past, and because your dreams were not
holy, the future cannot be, and the present is without meaning.’ ~ Your Immortal Reality Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Rule 3: The Universe Itself is a Symptom
Now here's the third biggest all-time, perhaps
hard to believe yet absolutely true rule, when it comes to spiritual
healing: Ultimately the universe itself is a symptom that will
disappear. When you really wake up, what appeared to be real before
is now recognized as the idle dream that it is. Then it is forgotten,
or at least rendered meaningless. Your present lifetime and all of the
others will disappear, and when everyone reaches the same state of
enlightenment, the universe will disappear - leaving only God's universe
of Heaven.

Rule #2: Pain is Not a Physical Process
Here is the second biggest rule of all time
when it comes to spiritual healing: Pain is not a physical process; it
is a mental process. Healing requires a shift in perception, and as the
Course asks and answers for you, 'What is the single requisite
for this shift in perception? It is simply this; the recognition that
sickness is of the mind, and has nothing to do with the body. What does
this recognition "cost?" It costs the whole world you see, for the world
will never again appear to rule the mind.' ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

The Ego vs The Holy Spirit (Part 2)
The ego says you're a body. The Holy Spirit
says you are not a body; you are not a person, you are not a human being
- you are like Him. The ego says your thoughts are quite important. On
this level, the Course considers the thoughts you think with the Holy
Spirit to be your real thoughts. Moreover, it could be said that the
Holy Spirit is the only truth on the level of the world.

Rule #1: It's Not About the Patient
Here is the number one rule of all time when
it comes to spiritual healing: It's not about the patient. All healing
is a result of some kind of forgiveness, and all forgiveness leads to
self-healing. So even when it comes to healing the sick it's really
about forgiving your own dream, and forgiving yourself for dreaming it. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

The Ego vs The Holy Spirit (Part 1)
The ego calls for sacrifice. In contrast, the
Holy Spirit says there is no need for sacrifice of any kind. The ego
says, 'The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.' The Holy Spirit knows
that God only gives, and never takes away. The ego reverently proclaims
death is real. The Holy Spirit says nobody is dead, and no one can ever
really die. The ego judges something as good or bad; the Holy Spirit
says it is neither, because it isn't true. Thus all things on the level
of form are equally untrue because of their illusory nature.

Being Appropriate
When it comes to what seems to be a terrible
tragedy, it's very easy to get drawn into it. Yes, you have to forgive,
but you also need to be aware of a couple of things in such a situation.
First, choosing to recognize the unreality of the dream doesn't mean you shouldn't be sensitive to the needs and the feelings of people who are involved in a nightmare like that, such as going through the death of a loved one. You can’t expect bereaved people to do anything except grieve. Always allow the feelings and beliefs of others.
Second, it would be equally insipid to tell people at a time like that it's all a script they chose to experience. Let people learn the truth when they're pursuing the truth, not when they're grieving for their friends or relatives. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

There is No Sin
If the world is real. then sins are real and
others are guilty, which means you're guilty, or at least that's the way
it will translate into your unconscious. If they're innocent because
they haven't really done anything, then you're innocent because you
haven't really done anything.

Sickness is of the Mind
There are people who have all the physical
reasons to have heart disease and Alzheimer's disease, whose arteries
are all clogged up or have unlucky family history, yet they show no
symptoms of the diseases whatsoever. It's always the mind that decides
whether or not to get sick - and whether or not to get well. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

Nothing of Value Here
Anything in this world that you believe is good and valuable and worth
striving for can hurt you, and will do so. Not because it has the power
to hurt, but just because you have denied it is but an illusion, and
made it real. ~ J-Dog, A Course in Miracles

Releasing the Hatred
You're secretly afraid of what's in your
unconscious. That's why you have to be vigilant. There is hatred in your
mind underneath the surface, but it can be released simply by noticing
it when it does surface, and then taking the Holy Spirit's hand instead
of the ego's. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

The Guiltless Mind Cannot Suffer
Another definitive idea in the Course would be
that the guiltless mind cannot suffer. It blows the whole idea of
glorifying sacrifice right out of the water. Because pain is not a
physical process, it's a mental process, and if you healed all the
unconscious guilt in the mind, then you couldn't feel any pain. That
changes the message of the Crucifixion from the idea of worshiping
suffering and sacrifice to a demonstration that if you were healed, then
it would be impossible for you to feel any pain or to suffer. ~ Your
Immortal Reality Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Anger is Never Justified
A definitive statement in the Course would be
the idea that anger is never justified. If you made the whole thing up,
(which you did, albeit not on this level) then who is there to be angry
at? And a related definitive idea would be, 'The secret of salvation is
but this: That you are doing this unto yourself.' The two ideas fit
together like a hand in a glove, and once you really get them then
there's no getting away from them. ~ Your Immortal Reality

A Course in Miracles Expresses the Truth
The Course is required because it expresses
the truth. I'm sorry if that sounds arrogant. It doesn't mean that the
Course is the only way for anyone to ever find the truth. The truth is
an awareness – not a book. But you can’t find this awareness alone. Can a
sick mind heal itself? On the level of the world, the answer is no. You
need help. You need the miracle. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

Good Times, Bad Times, All the Same
Your
good times in this world are good only in comparison to the bad times.
The comparison isn't a valid one, because both the seemingly good times
and the bad times are not Heaven. You will eventually learn that it's
all a trick, that your perception – something you value very highly – is
simply lying to you. You wouldn't listen to your unconscious thought
system if it didn't hide itself and lie to
you, because it's so seemingly despicable, and listening to it is so
painful, that you'd run away from it if you could really examine it.
J can help you examine it. He can show you a way to make your unconscious mind conscious to a degree that Freud could not have imagined. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

Facing Your Fears
In
order to really work with J or the Holy Spirit, you must be able to
observe the ego's thought system in action - which is the same thought
system you've subscribed to for eons without being aware of it. You have
to be willing to look at it with the Holy Spirit or J as your teacher.
As J puts it in the Course, 'No one can escape from illusions unless he
looks at them, for not looking is the way they are protected.' ~ The

Dreams Are Not Real
True forgiveness means you don't judge and condemn another. There's not
really any sin and guilt out there, because none of this happened except
in a dream, and dreams are not real. So J counsels you in his Course
not to make the ideas of sin and guilt
real in the people, events, and situations you see in the world. When
you seem to see some twisted form of the original error rising to
frighten you, say only, 'God is not fear, but Love,' and it will
disappear. ~ Your Immortal Reality

Peace in the 21st Century
Gary: So tell me, is peace gonna break out in the new millennium?
Arten: Well, no. For one thing, you can't have peace until people stop identifying with their particular nations and start seeing all of their brothers and sisters - and thus themselves - as spirit. When you're limitless, you don't have any borders to defend, and thus nothing to kill for. That doesn't mean you can't go sing The Star Spangled Banner at Fenway Park; it means that while you appear to live your normal life you know in your heart where you really belong, and that the way home is not through defending illusions with illusions but by forgiving them. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

You can choose to be at cause which is in the mind, where the world is

Inspired Guidance
An
additional component of forgiveness would be that after you forgive, if
you feel some kind of action is required, then always ask the Holy
Spirit if there's anything you should do. Remember, the Holy Spirit
doesn't do anything in the world, ever. But He can inspire you as to
what you should do.

Three Guys in Hell Joke
These three guys are in hell, right? They've been there for quite some
time, burning away, and after a while one of them figures that since
they're gonna be there for eternity, maybe they should introduce
themselves. So the guy says, "Hi, my
name's Arik, and I'm a rabbi. I'm here in hell because I cheated on my
wife." So the second man says, "Hello, my name's John, and I'm a
Catholic priest, and I'm here in hell because I have a wife." Then
finally the third guy says, "Hi, my name's Alex, and I'm A Course in
Miracles student, and I'm not here." ~ Your Immortal Reality
