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

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.' ~ Your Immortal Reality Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

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 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 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.
