All Your Sins Are Forgiven

The simplicity of seeing the universe as a dream, and forgiving the images your body's eyes are apparently showing you, is well summed up in one of the Workbook's explanations of forgiveness, "Forgiveness recognizes what you thought your brother did to you has not occurred. It does not pardon sins and make them real. It sees there was no sin. And in that view are all your sins forgiven."

The Way to Function in the World

The only viable way of functioning in the world is to be prepared to forgive no matter what happens, and then it won’t matter what happens. The more you practice, the more natural forgiveness seems, and the less natural the world seems. This isn’t your home but you can have a good time here, and go Home at the same time by seeing the world differently. ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

Releasing Your Psychological Attachment

In response to this quote from the Course: Seek not outside yourself. For it will fail, and you will weep each time an idol falls. Heaven cannot be found where it is not, and there can be no peace excepting there.

Gary: Yet, you can still live your life, pursue your goals and forgive at the same time. it' s all about giving up psychological attachment. That's pretty good.

Arten: Yes, and you may find that your goals will change as a result of the inspiration and guidance you receive from practicing true prayer and forgiveness.

No More Projections

When you're enlightened, you will completely awaken from the dream. Even though you'll still appear to be in a body, you'll see what the Course refers to as the real world. You will only 'see' it when you have completely forgiven the world, because the real world has no projections of unconscious guilt upon it. You'll see only innocence everywhere, because it's your own innocence - the innocence of Christ. That is what J saw, and what he teaches you now to see.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

How Will the World End?

The world will end when all things in it have been rightly judged by God's judgment. The world will end with the benediction of holiness upon it. When not one thought of sin remains, the world is over. It will not be destroyed nor attacked nor even touched. It will merely cease to seem to be. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Go for the Real Deal

Remember that all that glitters in the dream is temporary. No matter how much something attracts you, its transitory nature is woefully pale compared to the glorious permanence of Heaven. Go for the real deal instead of the counterfeit world, and you'll be making the wisest of decisions. ~ Your Immortal Reality  Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto     Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

The World Has Nothing to Give

It takes great learning both to realize and to accept the fact that the world has nothing to give. What can the sacrifice of nothing mean? ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

How to Make Time Disappear

The Holy Spirit's script is the forgiveness of all the people in your life - no matter where you appear to be. That's how time disappears. One of the best ways to get the distinction between the ego's time and the Holy Spirit's timelessness is to remember that the Holy Spirit's lessons of true forgiveness lead to the undoing of time by rendering it unnecessary.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

Forgiving the World

It's by forgiving the world that you will awaken, and realize that you never left Heaven, and have remained exactly as God created you, which is perfect spirit. As J puts it, reminding us again that his themes in the Course are simple and consistent, 'You are as God created you. All else but this one thing is folly to believe. In this one thought is everyone set free. In this one truth are all illusions gone. In this one fact is sinlessness proclaimed to be forever part of everything, the central core of its existence and its guarantee of immortality.'

But always remember the forgiveness that leads to this experience must be done at the level of cause and not effect, as J points out very early in the Text, 'You must change your mind, not your behavior, and this is a matter of willingness. You do not need guidance except at the mind level. Correction belongs only at the level where change is possible. Change does not mean anything at the symptom level, where it cannot work.'

The Relinquishment of Judgment

Our curriculum trains for the relinquishment of judgment as the necessary condition of salvation.

What you DO is Forgive

Helping people stay focused isn’t as easy as you might think. For example, the most popular teacher of A Course in Miracles, at least before you, (Gary Renard) came along, has repeatedly put people’s focus on fixing up the dream instead of waking up from it.

For those who contend that the Course says you should do certain things in the world, there’s an early quote that says, ‘Listen to my voice, learn to undo error, and do something (act) to correct it.’ Well, what you do is give it to the Holy Spirit, who is in the mind. It’s never about doing anything in the world. Never! If you’re inspired to do something after you forgive, fine. But that’s never the focus of the Course. To teach people otherwise is completely inaccurate. ~ Your Immortal Reality

Healing Your Unconscious Guilt

Given that the Course is the only teaching that not only addresses but completely explains the issue of unconscious guilt, it shows you how vital it is to make this teaching more available to people. Right now most of the people who teach the Course don't even understand it. And the ones who quote from it without teaching it certainly don't understand it. They take lines from it out of context to support what they're teaching. But what the Course is teaching is that you can undo the ego that's in your mind, have the Holy Spirit heal all of your unconscious guilt, and be free.

The Escape from Concepts

The concept of the self has always been the great preoccupation of the world. And everyone believes that he must find the answer to the riddle of himself. Salvation can be seen as nothing more than the escape from concepts. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Forgiving Over and Over...

Repetition is important not just in learning right minded ideas, but in practicing forgiveness. Sometimes it may look like you're forgiving the same thing over and over again. You forgive the people you work with. Then you go back there the next day, and they're still there! But even if it looks like you're forgiving the same thing, that's an illusion too. What's really happening is that more unconscious guilt is coming to the surface of your mind, and it's a chance for you to release and be rid of it by continuing to forgive.   ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto

What is Death?

Death is symbolic of your illusory separation from God. What happens when someone you love appears to die? All of a sudden you're separate. You appear to lose them just like you appeared to lose God. But it's not true. You can't really lose them any more than you can lose God. You are inseparable. You cry when a body you love appears to die, but as the Course teaches you, it's really your experience of God and Heaven that you miss. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

You Can't Spiritualize What's Not Spiritual

War isn't art, it's psychosis. But why shouldn't you try to spiritualize it? You try to spiritualize everything else. I'm not just talking about Sun Tsu's "The Art of War." You'll eventually have to realize that you can't spiritualize anything that is not spirit which means you can't really spiritualize anything in the universe of form. The truly spiritual is only outside of it. That is where you really belong, and will eventually return.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe    Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo  Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

About Reincarnation

Reincarnation is only something that appears to happen; you’re just dreaming that you’re going from one body to the next. Also, it doesn’t really matter what one’s personal belief is about it, as long as you forgive. The Course says, ‘All that must be recognized, however, is that birth was not the beginning and death is not the end. Yet even this much is not required of the beginner. He need merely accept the idea that what he knows is not necessarily all there is to learn. His journey has begun.’  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe    Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto

The Way to Freedom

Forgiveness, truly given, is the way in which your only hope of freedom lies.

The Course's Idea of Forgiveness

You will find that the Course's idea of forgiveness is unique, and designed to undo the ego - not by attack, but through the power of choice. Your inner peace and the strength of Christ will be there, by forgiving the things you see right in front of you. They are your prefect opportunities that, when taken advantage of, will help the Holy Spirit and the laws of the mind to lead you back to Heaven.

The Only Thing Worth Having

Don't ever forget that the goal of the Course is the only thing worth having, and this world isn't. You think the universe is of value because you're used to it and it's all you remember. But as the Course asks you, ‘Is it a sacrifice to give up pain? Does an adult resent the giving up of children's toys? Does one whose vision has already glimpsed the face of Christ look back with longing on a slaughter house? No one who has escaped the world and all its ills looks back on it with condemnation. Yet he must rejoice that he is free of all the sacrifice its values would demand of him.’ ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

God Did Not Create Bodies

The "reality" of death is firmly rooted in the belief that God's Son is a body. And if God created bodies, death would indeed be real. But God would not be loving. There is no point at which the contrast between the perception of the real world and that of the world of illusions becomes more sharply evident. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles    Facebook.com/JDogACIM

The Ego is NOT Your Amigo

People will have unconscious resistance to practicing true forgiveness because the ego senses this is its end, and would rather kill you than have you kill it. There are teachers who will tell you to make friends with your ego or make peace with your ego as a way of dealing with it. All that will do is keep it in place. If you practice true forgiveness, which is the only way out, then the ego isn't interested in being your colleague.  ~ Your Immortal Reality  Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

The Course is NOT a Movement

The Course is not a movement; there are more than enough of those. You don't have to take over the world. It doesn't matter whether the Course is popular or not. J knows what he's doing. Those who are ready for the Course will find it. His Course is unique. It gives an individual a chance to learn that he or she is not an individual, and that they are never alone. It gives you the opportunity to commune with the Holy Spirit and ultimately, God. It accelerates your return to God by helping the Holy Spirit heal.   ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Compromise = No Truth

One of the fundamental differences between the teachings of J and the teachings of the world is this: The teachings of the world are the product of a split, unconscious mind. Once you have that, you have compromise; and once you have compromise, you no longer have the truth.
