Avoiding the Fear of God

No one who sees himself as guilty can avoid the fear of God. But he is saved from this dilemma if he can forgive.  ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Training Your Mind to Forgive

One of the goals of the Course is to train your mind so that the time will come when instead of judging automatically, you will forgive automatically. The benefits to your mind from such a habit are immeasurable and unimaginable to you.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

Feeling the Love of God

To feel the Love of God within you is to see the world anew, shining in innocence, alive with hope, and blessed with perfect charity and love. Who could feel fear in such a world as this?

All About Saving Time

We've never said that A Course in Miracles is the only way to God, and we've never said that our words are the only way to A Course in Miracles. Ours is one approach. It's for some people – not for everyone. Having said that, let me remind you that we've come here to help you save time. If you really want to know God, then we want you to find the way to your experience of the absolute truth as soon as possible. The Course teaches that ‘the miracle minimizes the need for time.’ Our goal is to help you understand the miracle (forgiveness.)  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

Seeing a Forgiven World

A world in which forgiveness shines on everything, and peace offers its gentle light to everyone, is inconceivable to those who see a world of hatred rising from attack, poised to avenge, to murder and destroy.  ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Only True Forgiveness Heals

Another thing you should remember is not to be distracted by teachings that may serve others and help them feel temporarily better, but are not part of the path you’ve chosen. There will be those who tell you that when you have a problem, person, or object to deal with you can say, ‘I am that,’ and it will disappear. Becoming one with something in your projection only makes it real for you, and will not undo the guilt in your mind that you can’t see. Only true forgiveness can do that.

There will also be those who tell you that observing and being aware of your emotions will free you from your compulsions. Yes, observing your feelings can lessen their impact, however, it is still not the same as forgiving them. Only the true forgiveness of your relationships, and thus the healing of the unconscious guilt in your mind, can really free you from your compulsions or anything else.

Kick 'em Where the Sun Don't Shine

If someone is attempting to rape a woman, she doesn't have time to join with the Holy Spirit and ask for guidance. In that case, she should do whatever is appropriate. That's not the time to be applying that Workbook Lesson, "If I defend myself I am attacked." Remember, the Course is done at the level of the mind. If you're a woman, and a man is trying to rape you, kick him in the balls.

Removing Unforgiveness

No one who learns to forgive can fail to remember God. Forgiveness, then, is all that need be taught, because it is all that need be learned. All blocks to the remembrance of God are forms of unforgiveness, and nothing else. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Renounce the World!

When Jesus said, 'Renounce the world and the ways of the world. Make them meaningless to you,' he was talking about giving up the value that you have given it, and accepting the Holy Spirit's meaning for it instead. For example, he says in the Text of the Course, 'To learn this course requires willingness to question every value that you hold.'  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

Teaching Forgiveness

To be a teacher of God, it is not necessary to be religious or even to believe in God to any recognizable extent. It is necessary, however, to teach forgiveness rather than condemnation.

Only in that View

A definitive statement from A Course in Miracles, “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.”

I might add that ONLY in that view are all your sins forgiven. If the world is real, then sins are real and they’re 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.  ~ Your Immortal Reality

Collapsing Time

If you choose forgiveness instead of the ego, then J has made the following promise to you, 'When you perform a miracle, I will arrange both time and space to adjust to it.'

He's not talking about changing time here, so much as taking out the parts you don't need in your future anymore, because you've already learned those particular forgiveness lessons. He says, 'The miracle shortens time by collapsing it, thus eliminating certain intervals within it.' ~ The Disappearance of the Universe  Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

God Created Only the Eternal

The world as you perceive it cannot have been created by the Father; for the world is not as you see it. God created only the eternal, and everything you see is perishable. Therefore, there must be another world that you do not see. The Bible speaks of a new Heaven and a new earth, yet this cannot be literally true, for the eternal are not re-created. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Don't Make it Real

There is nothing in the world and no person who can make you feel bad unless you give them the power to do that. And we give them the power to do that by making the whole thing real.

What You Fear

Your fear of attack is nothing compared to your fear of love.

What is Quantum Forgiveness?

With quantum forgiveness, you’re not forgiving people because they really did something – you’re forgiving them because they haven’t really done anything. Whatever pushes your buttons and pisses you off on any given day is symbolic of what’s in your own unconscious mind. Once you really get that the world is not being done TO you, but rather BY you, then what you are really doing by practicing true forgiveness is forgiving the symbolic contents of your own mind. So nobody is ever really a victim in this world.    Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto    Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo    Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Motivation for Letting Go of Grievances

Your real life is in Heaven, and you can also achieve peace and joy during your temporary life here. Those are your motivations for letting go of grievances. Sometimes those motivations won’t seem like enough. What’s going to happen is that when you try to forgive, sometimes you’ll be able to. Yet if you’re really trying to do the Course, then just as often you’re going to come up against a lot of things that you don’t want to forgive and you don’t want to give up. That’s how your resistance and your hidden, unconscious hatred shows up. Those are the things you’re going to have to look at that you don’t want to look at.   ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Turning the Tables on the Ego

I turn the tables on the ego by using the same stuff the ego made to undo it. In order for that to happen, I have to bring my illusions to the truth instead of giving truth to my illusions. The Course says that J’s a savior because he saw the false without accepting it as true. If I do that, then not only will I be a Savior like him, but my mind will be healed by the Holy Spirit at the same time.

Guilt Asks for Punishment

The following quotation is very representative of the statements J makes about the thought system of the ego, which is the thought system of the world, 'Guilt asks for punishment, and its request is granted. Not in truth, but in the world of shadows and illusions built on sin.'  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Jesus was the Ultimate Follower

Most people who approach true spiritual mastery are not interested in being leaders. At the same time, there are people who are highly visible when, rather than being true masters of spirituality and metaphysics, they are merely exhibiting the symptoms of an extroverted personality. Jesus was the ultimate follower in the sense that he eventually listened only to the Holy Spirit. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

My Salvation Comes From Me

MY SALVATION COMES FROM ME
The seeming cost of accepting this idea is this: It means that nothing outside yourself can save you; nothing outside yourself can give you  peace. But it also means that nothing outside yourself can hurt you, or disturb your peace or upset you in any way.  ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Sleeping and Waking Dreams

Pursah: You've experienced wet dreams in your lifetime, right?
Gary: Getting a little personal, aren't we?
Pursah: Just for a minute - to make a point. When you were in those kinds of dreams that seemed so real, where were you feeling the woman?
Gary: You mean what part of her body was I feeling?
Pursah: No. MEN. I mean, where were you REALLY feeling here?
Gary: In my mind?
Pursah: Excellent. THIS dream, which you take as your real life, is no different. Yes, it feels very real to you, yet you can have the same experience in a dream in your sleep at night. Your body even responds to it as though it's real. Your heart pumps harder; you breathe harder, and I won't even mention what else gets harder.

The Real World is Illusory Too

Both this world and the real world are illusions because right-mindedness merely overlooks, or forgives, what never happened. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Saving the World

Can the world be saved without you? The answer is no.
~ The Disappearance of the Universe

Mikey's Note: Of course, you save the world by awakening from your dream that there is a world via the application of true forgiveness which removes the blocks to the awareness of Reality.

Acts of True Forgiveness

Because you cannot yet experience eternity completely you need miracles, or acts of true forgiveness, in which you give to your brothers and sisters in order to give to yourself and be healed by the One you trust, the Holy Spirit.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

God's Final Judgment

Is each one to be judged in the end? Indeed, yes! No one can escape God’s Final Judgment. Who could flee forever from the truth? But the Final Judgment will not come until it is no longer associated with fear. One day each one will welcome it, and on that very day it will be given him.

Go At Your Own Pace

The Course is set up so you can live what you thought was your life and gradually attain your salvation at the same time. Go at your own pace. That way you won't feel like anything is being taken away from you, and you can realize for yourself that the world has no value.

Birth is Not a Miracle

Each time a baby appears to be born into this world, it is merely reliving the time when it seemed to leave its perfect environment in God – where all was nirvana and it was completely taken care of and provided for - and then suddenly found itself slapped in the face by a seeming reality that was a living hell in comparison. You may think of birth as a miracle, but babies don’t come into this world smiling, do they? They come in crying and screaming.   ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Don't Have to Try to Be More Loving

It’s been said that life is just one thing after another. Life with the Course should also just be one thing after another, except that when one of the things calls for forgiveness, you do it. Once again, you don’t have to try to be loving. If you forgive, then love is revealed naturally, because that is what you are.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Real Forgiveness

You shouldn’t fall for the ego’s brand of forgiveness which is the world’s ineffective and traditional way of forgiving others. Your brothers and sisters - including your mother and father - haven’t really done what you think they’ve done, and remembering that fact is vital. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

Mikey's Note:  The world's way of forgiveness makes everything real, and thus won't undo what you secretly believe to be true about yourself in your unconscious mind.

The Course's way of forgiveness recognizes that nothing has happened, you made up what you are seeing (albeit not on this level.) And by applying that idea to whatever comes up in front of your face on any given day is the way to heal the buried muck in your unconscious. As the Course teaches, "The secret of salvation is but this: that you are doing this unto yourself." Simple concept but not always easy to apply.
