Undoing the Ego

This is a book about spirituality, REAL spirituality, not what has been passing for spirituality in the pop media over the last two decades. Spirituality has become totally confused with the self-help movement. By the time you finish this book, you'll not only know the difference between the two, but you'll also know why only one of them will ever make you happy.

There's a difference between a spirituality that will save you a lot of time and spiritualities that won't. Those that save you time will introduce you to the idea of UNDOING THE EGO and show you how to do it.   ~ Gary Renard, Love Has Forgotten No One: The Answer to Life

Forgiveness is Justified

You’re getting so used to the idea of the world coming FROM you instead of AT you, it becomes more and more impossible for you to react to it the way you used to. Now forgiveness is justified.

Spiritual Sight

Spiritual sight is done at the level of the mind, and has absolutely nothing to do with what the body appears to see. The body can’t see or do anything anyway! But the mind can always choose to use it in the service of the Holy Spirit instead of the ego.  ~ Love Has Forgotten No One: The Answer to Life   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

The Dis-Unity of the Universe

The universe is not really based on the idea of unity. The only reason it even holds together is because, being all part of the same projection, there is only one projection. Thus, you can’t ever really break it apart. Yet it will appear to be falling apart and dividing and subdividing many times.

Seeing Innocence is the Only Way Out

If you perceive yourself as unfairly treated, then you’re making everything real, which makes the entire ego thought system of guilt real in your mind. The only way to find your innocence is to get that it’s not real and forgive others for what they have not done in reality. And since it never happened, you can then think of them as being innocent. That’s the way to have it for yourself. Never forget that. It’s the only way out.   ~ Love Has Forgotten No One: The Answer to Life

Doing Healthy Things

You may think, "Why should it matter if I do healthy things when it’s my thoughts that run everything?" The answer is simple. You’re trying to educate your ego. Your ego wants you to think you’re a body. You want your ego to be undone so you can go home to what you really are. In order to help the ego relax and allow itself to be undone, you do some bodily things while you appear to be here.

And you know what? You’d have to do that anyway! If you just sit on a park bench and meditate for the rest of your life, you’re still going to have to eat eventually. Even J ate food, had normal relationships, and communicated with people.

Temptation

Whatever form temptation seems to take, it always but reflects a wish to be a self that you are not.

What is it for?

Remember what everything is for, no matter what happens. That’s one of the things that makes this teaching so consistent and important: You always know what everything is for.  It’s to use for forgiveness.  Instead of giving truth to your illusions, you can give your illusions to the truth.

Practicing Forgiveness Gets You Home

You chose to come here the original instant that you chose the ego instead of the Holy Spirit and the universe of time and space was made. From that instant on, you choose to stay here by NOT practicing forgiveness, and you choose to go home by NOT accepting the ego’s interpretation of relationships, situations, and events. ~ Love Has Forgotten No One: The Answer to Life

Authentic Spirituality

The right idea is to have a kind of spirituality where you can be happy and peaceful no matter what comes your way. That’s freedom, and that’s authentic spirituality.

Things May Not Always Go Well

 Now we want to caution you. Just because you practice forgiveness, it doesn’t mean you’ll always switch to a pleasant outcome. And you don’t determine whether you switch dimensions of time. Only the Holy Spirit can do that, because the Holy Spirit can see the big picture and you can’t. Obviously, Jesus was not given pleasant things to experience at the end of his earthly adventure, but the Holy Spirit knew he could handle it. His forgiveness was so advanced that he was healed of all guilt and thus couldn’t feel any pain. ~ Love Has Forgotten No One: The Answer to Life    Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

God Doesn't Acknowledge the Dream

Gary: You know some people might say that it's not very loving for God to let us dream a dream like this that always turns into a nightmare eventually. What would you say to that?

Arten: It's always amusing that those same people then want to turn around and say that God created the world! Talk about God not being loving. In answer to your question, God isn't letting you dream this. In order to LET you, He'd have to acknowledge a separation idea in the fist place. We've already said that He doesn't. It's only because He doesn't that there is still perfect Oneness for you to wake up to.  ~ Your Immortal Reality

The Perfect Love of God

If you tell people to choose love instead of fear, which is a superficial teaching unless it’s explained much further, most of them will think you’re talking about THEIR love. But that’s not what the Course is talking about. It’s talking about the perfect love of God. The world’s idea of love is what the Course would call special love, because it doesn’t apply to everyone, only those special individuals whom you have chose to love. ~ Love Has Forgotten No One: The Answer to Life

Enjoying the World More

As you forgive others you’re forgiven, so you get more in touch with your innocence. You feel less guilty. I think it’s ironic that even though you’re realizing more and more that the world isn’t real, you actually end up enjoying it more, not less. ~ Love Has Forgotten No One: The Answer to Life

You're Not A Victim of the Universe

There is no universe of time and space. There is only a projection of a universe of time and space. So you’re not a victim of it. There’s no power in being a victim, but there’s plenty of power in being at cause. ~ Love Has Forgotten No One: The Answer to Life    Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto

Not Easy to Forgive

Gary: I never tell people it’s easy to forgive other people. In fact, it sucks because they don’t deserve it.

Pursah:That may appear to be true on the level of form, but after a while you catch onto the fact that you are the one who’s being forgiven every time you forgive others.

True Forgiveness Facilitates the Experience of Love

Love is the answer to the problem of human existence; it’s also the way home. Of course what most quickly facilitates the experience of love is true forgiveness, which is why we always come back to that.  ~ Love Has Forgotten No One: The Answer to Life

Towards God or Away from God?

If you’re thinking right minded, or forgiveness thoughts, with the Holy Spirit, you have to be headed in the right direction. That direction is home to God. If you’re thinking judgmental and condemning thoughts with the ego, then you keep yourself away from God.

Constructive Use of Consciousness

The only truly constructive use of consciousness is to use it to choose to think with the Holy Spirit instead of the ego. That is the Course’s idea of free will. No matter how complicated life seems to get, no matter how many billions of people and millions of choices there seem to be, there are always really just two things to choose between, and only one of those choices represents reality. That reality is love. And love has forgotten no one. By following the Holy Spirit, you will be led to the experience of that reality.  ~ Love Has Forgotten No One: The Answer to Life   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto

Forgive the World One Day At a Time

You can forgive the world. All you have to do is forgive whatever comes up in front of your face on any given day. The relationships you seem to be in, the situations you seem to be stuck in, the awful events you sometimes see on television or maybe even in person, the bad memories that come into your mind – all can be forgiven. They’re all the same.

You can forgive other bodies, or you can forgive your own body. They’re the same, too. You can release the resentment that you have toward others or the regrets that you have about your own life. You just do it one day at a time, and the day will come when your job will be done.

Ending Unpleasant Patterns

It’s crucial to take advantage of the lessons that are presented to you on any given day. Those are the lessons the Holy Spirit wants you to learn. If you learn them – and you do so by practicing true forgiveness, the kind that comes from cause and not effect – then you won’t have to repeat the same kinds of patterns all over again in your next dream lifetime. ~ Love Has Forgotten No One: The Answer to Life  Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto    Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

You Have Work to Do

Any attempt to remain in the present moment will fail unless certain work is done by the student. That’s because there is something in the mind that prevents you from STAYING in the present moment. Most spiritualities don’t even know about it, much less teach you how to have it healed. Also, the most popular teachers of A Course in Miracles don’t know about it or teach you how to have it healed, because they haven’t really learned the Course. ~ Love Has Forgotten No One: The Answer to Life  Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Your Actions Don't Really Matter

Why would it matter what happens in an illusion, unless you have given the illusion a power it does not and can not have? How could it matter what result is produced in a particular situation unless you have made a false idol out of the situation? It doesn't matter what actions you take or don't take in the world - although your way of seeing and the attitude you maintain while engaging in any action DOES matter.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

The Course is Purely Non-Dualistic

Bill (Thetford) understood what the Course was saying. Only the perfect, non-dualistic oneness of God is real, and nothing else is real, which is exactly what that ancient Hindu text, the Vedanta, was saying, although of course, people then took it and misinterpreted it in much the same way they're doing today with the Course.

It’s imperative that you stick to the message of the Course. Don’t compromise on it. A Course in Miracles is purely non-dualistic. We don’t want the same thing to happen to the message of the Course that happened to J’s message 2,000 years ago. That’s one of the main reasons we’re back: to help keep people focused, including you. We want you to tell it straight, and if someone criticizes you or your message, then after you forgive them, tell them that they are in error. You have the right to not remain silent. ~ Your Immortal Reality

The Happy Dream

The happy dream is necessary because if the rug of time and space got pulled out from under me suddenly, it would be too much for me to handle. The dream of separation seems too real for me to wake up suddenly without crapping a brick. Like the Course puts it:

...So fearful is the dream, so seeming real, he could not waken to reality without the sweat of terror and a scream of mortal fear, unless a gentler dream preceded his awaking, and allowed his calmer mind to welcome, not to fear, the Voice that calls with love to waken him; a gentler dream, in which his suffering was healed and where his brother was his friend. ~ Gary Renard, The Disappearance of the Universe  Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Nothing Will Make You Happy Here

J had forgiven the world - his mind had been returned to the Holy Spirit where it belonged. That's where your mind belongs. You took it, and you have to give it back. And I've got a message for you: You'll never really be happy until you do. No matter what you imagine you have accomplished in any lifetime, there will always be a part of you that feels like something is missing - because in your illusions something IS missing.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto

A Peaceful Mind

Peace of mind is clearly an internal matter. It must begin with your own thoughts, and then extend outward. It is from your peace of mind that a peaceful perception of the world arises.
~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

The Body is Nothing

The body no more dies than it can feel. It does nothing. Of itself it is neither corruptible nor incorruptible. It IS nothing. It is the result of a tiny, mad idea of corruption that can be corrected.
~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Sin is not Real

When you are tempted to believe that sin is real, remember this: If sin is real, both God and you are not. If sin is real, God must be at war with Himself. He must be split, and torn between good and evil; partly sane and partially insane. For He must have created what wills to destroy Him, and has the power to do so. Is it not easier to believe that you have been mistaken than to believe in this.

Removing Unconscious Guilt

Only true forgiveness removes unconscious guilt from the mind. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

Self-Predetermination

Remember this: Since it was your decision to side with the ego and make the separation real it means that this script is an example of self-predetermination that was agreed to by you on a different level, not a case of being a victim. Now you have the Course to teach you how to change your mind about the whole thing.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto
