What Will Make You Happy?

It's only through disciplined application that the practitioner can enter the glorious phase of experience. And I guarantee you, dear brother, that experience is the only thing that will ever make you happy. Words will never do it. As J says in the Course, 'Words are but symbols of symbols, they are thus twice removed from reality.' And when you think about it, how is a symbol of a symbol ever going to make you happy? No. The only thing that will make you happy is the experience of what you really are. What will truly satisfy you is not a symbol of reality, but an experience of reality. ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

The Mind is Where Real Power is

Remember that if ideas have not left their source, then what you're seeing has never left the mind. If it's in the mind, and if minds can be changed, then the mind is where real power is. What made J and Buddha who they were was that they were not tricked by appearances. The illusion exists to make you think you have put distance in between you and your guilt, but by making it real and judging and condemning it, you simply keep it in place. ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

You're Never a Victim

Forgiveness is what the individual can do about his or her world, and nobody can ever take that away once you know how to do it. And once you know how to do it, then you realize that you're never a victim, and what you are seeing are merely symbols of your own insanity pictured outside of yourself - except now you have a way to be free of it by releasing the other. Other people in turn will live in peace only after they are willing to look at their own dark side as seen in others and forgive it. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

What Do You Value?

If you choose a thing that will not last forever, what you chose is valueless. A temporary value is without all value. Time can never take away a value that is real. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

You Made it Up

I Am Immortal Spirit

Typically, people have a tendency to project their unconscious guilt onto other people and make them wrong. But everybody has times when they blame themselves. When you're beating yourself up, remember this forgiveness thought process: I am immortal spirit. This body is just an image. It has nothing to do with what I am.  ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto

Forgiveness and the Peace of God

God’s peace can never come where anger is, for anger must deny that peace exists. Who sees anger as justified in any way or any circumstance proclaims that peace is meaningless, and must believe that it cannot exist. In this condition, peace cannot be found. Therefore, forgiveness is the necessary condition for finding the peace of God. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

The Unconscious Mind Runs Us

The Happy Dream

Instead of using illusions to defend your illusions against other illusions, you just forgive. That leads to Heaven; it's a factoid. It's like you're replacing the dream that leads away from truth with the dream that leads to truth, 'cause as the Course says about salvation, "...What could it be except a happy dream? It asks you but that you forgive all things that no one ever did; to overlook what is not there, and not to look upon the unreal as reality."  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

What Would Jesus Do?

Forgiveness isn't about being a do-gooder, not that there's anything wrong with doing good deeds if it turns you on. The Course is about being a right thinker. A lot of Christians ask nowadays, "What would Jesus do?" There's only one correct answer to that question, and it would always be the same. He'd forgive.   ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Awakening At Your Own Pace

Fear not that you will be abruptly lifted up and hurled into reality. Time is kind, and if you use it on behalf of reality, it will keep gentle pace with you in your transition. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Fear or Love

Fear, sin, rage, guilt, jealousy, anger, pain, worry, resentment, revenge, loathing, envy, and all other negative emotions are versions of the same illusion. That's why the Course taught very clearly, before all the borrowers came along, that, ‘Fear and love are the only emotions of which you are capable.’

People who borrow from the Course instead of teaching it generally make one of two mistakes. Either they try to make up a secular version of the Course, which doesn't work because when you leave out God, you're ignoring the one real problem – the seeming separation from Him – or they make up a version that includes God, but is a dualistic system. This also fails to solve the one real problem because of the very nature of duality. How can you undo the separation from God by believing that God created and acknowledges separation? Thus they end up wasting a lot of time by reinforcing the seeming separation rather than correcting it. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

Your Job is to Remember the Truth

Remembering the truth can bring you peace no matter what the seeming event or person is who is being forgiven. As long you remember the truth, you're doing your job. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo  Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

God Made not Madness

Is it not strange that you believe to think you made the world you see is arrogance? God made it not. Of this you can be sure. What can He know of the ephemeral, the sinful and the guilty, the afraid, the suffering and lonely, and the mind that lives within a body that must die? You but accuse Him of insanity, to think He made a world where such things seem to have reality. He is not mad. Yet only madness makes a world like this. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Jesus Renounced His Specialness

You've got to be willing to surrender the idea of Authorship to God if you want to be able to share in your real power. Humility is the way - not a false humility that says you are in adequate, but a real humility that simply says God is your only Source. You will realize that except for His Love you need nothing. 

When J made statements like, "Of myself I can do nothing," and "I and the Father are one," he wasn't claiming any kind of specialness for himself. In fact, he was giving up any specialness, individuality, or authorship and accepting his true strength - the power of God. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Not About Abondoning Common Sense

When the Course talks about not judging your brother, what it means is that you don't condemn him. Obviously, you have to make judgments just to cross the street. The Course isn't talking about abandoning that kind of judgment. Without it, you couldn't get out of bed in the morning. One thing the Course has nothing against is common sense. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

God Doesn't Acknowledge Illusions

God holds nothing against anyone, for He is incapable of illusions of any kind.

Spirit Needs Nothing

When you have a deep desire for anything then you must think you're a body, or separate from God in some way. What else could want something? if you're spirit, or joined with God, then you need nothing. If you remember that you're not a body then you can step back and see that what you desire is valueless. We're not talking about giving up everything physically; we're talking about the way you look at it. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

The End of Reincarnation

When your forgiveness lessons are complete, then not one trace of guilt will remain in your unconscious mind. At that point, you will break the cycle of birth and death, and never dream of going into a body again. That is the end of reincarnation.  ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

What Does Forgiveness Do?

What does forgiveness do? In truth it has no function, and does nothing. For it is unknown in Heaven. It is only hell where it is needed, and where it must serve a mighty function.

You're Unconsciously Attracted to Suffering

You're unconsciously attracted to sin, guilt, fear, pain, and suffering. It doesn't make you any different than anyone else, except you'll be one of the people who is aware of it - so you can observe it, forgive it, and eventually be free of it.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

No Such Thing as Luck

Remember something about luck. If everything is already determined then there's no such thing as luck. Yes, in the world there will be times when you appear to be lucky and unlucky, but that's just duality. That doesn't mean you don't do things and play your part. Remember everything we've talked about in regard to being normal and kind. And while you're doing it, the important thing is that your focus is now on the cause instead of the effect. That's a change that no one can see, but it's the biggest change in the universe, and the only one that matters.  ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

The Real World

The real world is attained simply by the complete forgiveness of the old, the world you see without forgiveness. The great Transformer of perception will undertake with you the careful searching of the mind that made this world, and uncover to you the seeming reasons for your making it. In the light of the real reason that He brings, as you follow Him, He will show you that there is no reason here at all.

Removing the Walls of Guilt

Every act of forgiveness undoes the ego, and the Holy Spirit removes the blocks to the awareness of God, or spirit's presence. The blocks are those walls of guilt in the mind that keep you from your awareness of what you really are. ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto

Love = No Guilt

Anger takes many forms, but it cannot long deceive those who will learn that love brings no guilt at all, and what brings guilt cannot be love and must be anger. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Guilt Demands 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/photo
