The Kingdom of God

Forget not the Kingdom of God for anything the world has to offer.

How Jesus Saw Others

Jesus saw people as being the same as him and God - unlimited and perfect. All other characteristics we put onto other people or onto God are really our own unconscious beliefs about ourselves. ~ 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

Delay of Happiness

Learn this, and learn it well, for is here delay of happiness is shortened by a span of time you cannot realize. You never hate your brother for his sins, but only for your own. Whatever form his sins appear to take, it but obscures the fact that you believe them to be yours, and therefore meriting a “just” attack.

Joy in the Eternal

No one created by God can find joy in anything except the eternal; not because he is deprived of anything else, but because nothing else is worthy of him. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Holy Spirit Will Earn Your Trust

The Holy Spirit will earn your trust. It’s your experience that will tell you the Holy Spirit is always with you, looking out for your true, best interest. And sometimes a symbol of spirit will show up in the world. If the symbol is truly of the spirit, then the reality behind the symbol can always be trusted, and so can the message that is communicated through the symbol.

Christ is Meaningless Apart from Joy

Let no despair darken the joy of Christmas, for the time of Christ is meaningless apart from joy. Let us join in celebrating peace by demanding no sacrifice of anyone. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Acknowledging That You're Not in this World

Atonement is the one need in this world that is universal. To perceive yourself this way is the only way in which you can find happiness in the world. That is because it is the acknowledgment that you are not in this world, for the world is unhappy.

Celebrate Release

This Christmas give the Holy Spirit everything that would hurt you. Let yourself be healed completely that you may join with Him in healing, and let us celebrate our release together by releasing everyone with us. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Bigger than the Individual Realm

Everybody celebrates this time of year. If they could bring their peace into the new year then it would really be something. Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, Gita Jayanthi - they are all symbols of the acknowledgment of something bigger than the individual realm.

Just One Mistake

It is in your power to make this season holy, for it is in your power to make the time of Christ be now. It is possible to do this all at once because there is but one shift in perception that is necessary, for you made but one mistake. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Stable as God Created You

Knowledge is always stable, and it is quite evident that you are not. Nevertheless, you are perfectly stable as God created you. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Forgiving Your Compulsions

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.
~ The Disappearance of the Universe    Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

You Are Not THAT

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.    ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto

Giving Up Nothing

Since time has no meaning, you are being asked for nothing in return for everything. 
~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

No More Useless Journeys

Whenever you are tempted to undertake a useless journey that would lead away from light, remember what you really want, and say: The Holy Spirit leads me unto Christ, and where else would I go? What need have I but to awake in Him?  ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

The Means of the Atonement

This is not a course in philosophical speculation, nor is it concerned with precise terminology. It is concerned only with Atonement, or the correction of perception. The means of the Atonement is forgiveness.
~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Deny Illusions, Accept the Truth

There is no world because it is a thought apart from God, and made to separate the Father and the Son, and break away a part of God Himself and thus destroy His Wholeness. Can a world which comes from this idea be real? Can it be anywhere? Deny illusions but accept the truth. 
~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

You But Give To Yourself

Never forget you give but to yourself. Who understands what giving means must laugh at the idea of sacrifice. Nor can he fail to recognize the many forms which sacrifice may take. He laughs as well at pain and loss, at sickness and at grief, at poverty, starvation and at death. He recognizes sacrifice remains the one idea that stands behind them all, and in his gentle laughter are they healed. 
~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

There is No Loss

Loss is not loss when properly perceived. Pain is impossible. There is no grief with any cause at all. And suffering of any kind is nothing but a dream. This is the truth, at first to be but said and then repeated many times; and next to be accepted as but partly true, with many reservations. Then to be considered seriously more and more, and finally accepted as the truth.
~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Question Every Value You May Have

When J told you to make the world 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, "To learn this course requires willingness to question every value that you hold."

Forgiveness Removes the Darkness

Forgiveness lifts the darkness, reasserts your will, and lets you look upon a world of light. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

What You DO is not the Important Thing

Forgiveness has to do with what you think. What you do isn't the important thing, even though it is a result of what you think. It's what you think that will either keep you dreaming or help get you home, not what you do.   ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Feeling No Pain

As you become accomplished in the application of forgiveness, your pain and your discomfort will lessen and sometimes disappear. Notice I didn’t say that the apparent cause of the pain and discomfort would disappear. It would be theoretically possible for a master to die of cancer, or be murdered like J, and not feel the pain associated with such events. If your pain is gone, and your suffering along with it, then does it really matter if the illusory cause of the pain still appears to be there? ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

Sickness is of the Mind

There are people who have all the physical reasons to have heart disease and Alzheimer's disease (fill in your least favorite disease of choice) whose arteries are all clogged up or have unlucky family history, yet they show no symptoms of the diseases whatsoever. It's always the mind that decides whether or not to get sick – and whether or not to get well. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

The Sick Thought System in Your Unconscious

Your unconscious mind, which you are completely oblivious to, or else it wouldn't be unconscious, is under the domination of a sick thought system that is shared on both a collective and individual level by everyone who comes to the false universe - or else they wouldn't have come in the first place. This will remain the case until your thoughts are examined, correctly forgiven, released to the Holy Spirit, and replaced by His thinking instead. Until then your hidden beliefs will continue to dominate and assert themselves in a predetermined way.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

God is Your Strength

God is indeed your strength. And what He gives is truly given. This means that you can receive it any time and anywhere, wherever you are, and in whatever circumstance you find yourself. Your passage through time and space is not at random. You cannot but be in the right place at the right time.

Jesus Had No Fear

Fear was not a part of J. His attitude was the same as if you were having a dream last night asleep in your bed, except you were totally aware of the fact that you were dreaming. And because you knew you were dreaming, you also knew that absolutely nothing in the dream could possibly hurt you, because none of it was true; you realized you were merely observing symbolic images, including people, who weren't really there.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

God Demands Nothing

God demands nothing, for He does not will to take away. He does not require obedience, for obedience implies submission. He would only have you learn your will and follow it, not in the spirit of sacrifice and submission, but in the gladness of freedom. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM/post

The Peace of God which Passeth Understanding

As you go along, you’ll have experiences that tell you you’re on the right track. Sometimes it will simply be a feeling of deep inner peace.That’s a lot more important than you realize. If peace is the condition of the Kingdom, then your mind must be returned to a condition of peace before it can reenter the Kingdom. Otherwise it wouldn’t fit in. It would be like trying to fit a square block into a round hole. The “peace of God which passeth understanding” is a prerequisite to going home. Once again, it’s not achieved on a permanent basis until all unconscious guilt has been removed from the mind by the Holy Spirit. ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Forgiveness Wakes You Up

Like almost all people, you have some very deeply buried guilt you don’t know about, which is why you still have some fear. It will take even more forgiveness, chipping away at unconscious guilt, for you to wake up completely. That’s why we keep emphasizing forgiveness; it’s what wakes you up.

The Most Overlooked Error

Perhaps the most overlooked error of all religions and philosophies, including the New Age models, is the failure to understand that although doing things like thinking positively, being "in the now," saying prayers, affirmations, denying negative thoughts, and listening to famous speakers may have a temporarily helpful impact, they cannot release that which is locked in the deep canyons of your unconscious mind.   ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto

There's No One Out There

So it may look like all these things and people are out there, but they're not. They're not real people; it just looks that way. I made what I'm seeing, then I forgot. And I wanted it to be the way it is so what I secretly believed to be true about myself, what the Course calls "the secret sins and hidden hates" that I have buried in my mind about me over the original separation are now seen to be in others and in the world. And what holds the whole thing in place is my judgment and condemnation of others. ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto    Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo    Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Being Dependent on God

J considered himself to be totally dependent on God, yet this dependence was not weakness, as the world usually views dependence. Rather, the result was a state of unbelievable psychological strength. Things that would scare the stuffing out of strong people meant nothing to him, because they WERE nothing to him. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

No Such Thing as Vicarious Salvation

J was a savior all right, but not the kind who promoted vicarious salvation. He wanted to teach us how to play our part in saving ourselves. When he said that he was the way, the truth, and the life, he meant we should follow his example, not believe in him personally. You shouldn't glorify his body. He didn't believe in his own body, why should you? ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

Save Yourself from Misery

The world you see holds nothing that you need to offer you; nothing that you can use in any way, nor anything at all that serves to give you joy. Believe this thought, and you are saved from years of misery, from countless disappointments, and from hopes that turn to bitter ashes of despair.

A Jailer is Not Free

Who can be born again in Christ but him who has forgiven everyone he sees or thinks of or imagines? Who could be set free while he imprisons anyone? A jailer is not free, for he is bound together with his prisoner. He must be sure that he does not escape, and so he spends his time in keeping watch on him. The bars that limit him become the world in which his jailer lives, along with him. And it is on his freedom that the way to liberty depends for both of them. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Do Not Let Theology Delay You

The ego will demand many answers that this course does not give. It does not recognize as questions the mere form of a question to which an answer is impossible. The ego may ask, “How did the impossible occur?”, “To what did the impossible happen?”, and may ask this in many forms. Yet there is no answer; only an experience. Seek only this, and do not let theology delay you. 
~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

A Tranquil Mind

You don't have to wait until your experience of enlightenment before you enjoy the benefits of forgiveness. As the Course tells you, 'A tranquil mind is not a little gift.'  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

The World is not Reality

What God did not create does not exist. And everything that does exist exists as He created it. The world you see has nothing to do with reality. It is of your own making, and it does not exist.

Perfect Forgiveness, not Perfect Behavior

God Did Not Create It

The world you see is an illusion of a world. God did not create it, for what He creates must be eternal as Himself. Yet there is nothing in the world you see that will endure forever. Some things will last in time a little while longer than others. But the time will come when all things visible will have an end.

Love Behind the Form

Anything that takes on a form must be symbolic of something else. The Holy Spirit doesn't do form; He does love. It's possible for the love of the Holy Spirit to shine into your universe and then be given a specific form by your fight mind. The form itself is a projection of the mind, but the love behind it is real. That explains appearances by Mary, angels, and all ascended masters. It also explains how J re-appeared after the crucifixion 2000 years ago.   ~ The Disappearance of the Universe
Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Forgiveness IS Practical

Don't let anyone tell you forgiveness isn't practical on the level of form. Indeed, it can make all the difference in the world. Choosing true forgiveness and the Holy Spirit as your Teacher is not a part of the ego's script - it's a decision YOU have to make in order to be free of the ego's script.

The Way Jesus Looked at Everyone

J figured out something that people still don't understand, even today with all these advances in knowledge, including psychology, and it's this: If there's really only one of us here, and if the unconscious part of the mind knows that, then what are we doing when we go around judging and condemning other people? All we're really doing is sending a message directly into our own unconscious mind that we are worthy of being judged and condemned. Whatever we think about others is really like sending a message about ourselves to our self.

So J decided that if there's really only one of us who thinks it's here, and if the unconscious mind knows that, then he was going to go through life seeing everyone as being what they really are, which is perfect spirit, instead of seeing them as bodies, which is really just a false idea of separation. He would see everyone as being Christ, pure and innocent. He would think of them as being what they really are : immortal, invulnerable, and something that cannot even be touched by this world. ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Truly Helpful

I will direct you to wherever you can be truly helpful, and to whoever can follow my guidance through you. 
~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/DWMJF

What is Reality?

There is no concept of male or female in Heaven.  The only true reality is God or pure spirit, which in Heaven, are synonymous, and God and pure spirit have no form.  There will be no recognition of differences in Heaven, for there are none. There is, however, a perpetual high that will blow away anything you can experience here, because it is beyond all highs. Transcending any description, it is a shared Oneness and joy that you can receive glimpses of, even in this lifetime.

Give Up the World!

Give up the world! But not to sacrifice. You never wanted it. What happiness have you sought here that did not bring you pain? What moment of content has not been brought at fearful price in coins of suffering? Joy has no cost. It is your sacred right, and what you pay for is not happiness.~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Don't Try To Change the World

There is no point in trying to change the world. It is incapable of change because it is merely an effect. But there is indeed a point in changing your thoughts about the world. Here you are changing the cause. The effect will change automatically.  ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Not About Saving Someone Else

This isn't about trying to save a world that isn't really out there. You save the world by concentrating on your own forgiveness lessons.

Symbolic Images

Remember that others' call for love is your call for love. You should be grateful tot hem; you need them as much as they need you. Without those images you see and the miracle, you'd never be able to find the way out. These images are symbolic of what's in your unconscious mind and without them, your unconscious guilt would be forever hidden from you – there would be no escape.

You Can't Oppose the Will of God

To think you can oppose the Will of God is a real delusion. The ego believes that it can, and that it can offer you its own "will" as a gift. YOU DO NOT WANT IT. It is not a gift. It is nothing at all. God has given you a gift that you both HAVE and ARE. When you do not use it, you forget that you have it. By not remembering it, you do not know what you are. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Key to Enlightenment

The key to enlightenment lies in a secret that very few people have ever known, but which J knew well. The way you will experience and feel about yourself is not determined by how other people look at and think about you. The way that you will experience and feel about yourself is actually determined by how you look at and think about them. Ultimately, this determines your identity. You will identify yourself either as a body or as perfect spirit, as either divided or whole, depending on how you see others. And once you understand that, I would think you'd want to get pretty damn careful how you think about other people! ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto

Nothing of Value Here

This world is an attempt to prove your innocence, while cherishing attack. Its failure lies in that you still feel guilty, though without understanding why. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Insane Burden of Guilt

 Relieve the mind of the insane burden of guilt it carries so wearily, and healing is accomplished.

Innocence is Strength

A pure mind knows the truth and this is its strength. It does not confuse destruction with innocence because it associates innocence with strength, not with weakness. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Praise God

The Bible repeatedly states that you should praise God. This hardly means that you should tell Him how wonderful He is. He has no ego with which to accept such praise, and no perception with which to judge it. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

How to Attain the Real World

The real world is the state of mind in which the only purpose of the world is seen to be forgiveness.

God Knows Nothing of Sacrifice

To demand sacrifice of yourself is to demand a sacrifice of God, and He know nothing of sacrifice.

Forgiving Your Own Dark Side

Once you know how to forgive, 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

The End of Death

And what is the end of death? Nothing but this: the realization that the Son of God (that’s you) is guiltless now and forever. Nothing but this. But do not let yourself forget it is not less than this.

God's Answer

 God’s answer is some form of peace. All pain is healed; all misery replicated with joy. All prison doors are opened. And all sin is understood as merely a mistake. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Having Idols = Fear

Whenever you feel fear in any form - and you ARE fearful if you do not feel a deep content, a certainty of help, calm assurance Heaven goes with you - be sure you made an idol, and believe it will betray you. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Accomplishing Forgiveness

Forgiveness: accomplish this and you have been redeemed. Accomplish this and you have been transformed. Accomplish this and you will save the world. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Tolerance for Pain

Tolerance for pain may be high, but it is not without limit. Eventually everyone begins to recognize, however dimly, that there must be a better way. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Nothing's Happened, You're Innocent

If nothing's happened, and if the Course teaches anything, it's that nothing's happened, then you're innocent. Thus as you forgive your brothers and sisters, your mind realized simultaneously that you are forgiven. As the Course teaches, "As you see him, you will see yourself."

Mutha T

Mother Teresa was an excellent example. She looked at everybody with love and forgiveness. Ultimately, it didn't matter what her theology was. Most of the people she ministered to throughout her life weren't even members of her own religion. That didn't matter to her. She saw everyone as being completely worthy of God's love, without exception. Her love and forgiveness were not withheld from anyone. It was total and universal. She judged and condemned no one. So her mind was completely healed by the Holy Spirit. She became enlightened and broke the cycle of birth and death.  ~ Your Immortal Reality

Only God's Plan Will Work

Holding grievances is the opposite of God’s plan for salvation. And only His plan will work. 
~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

The World isn't 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

You Don't Want to Pray for Idols

It is impossible to pray for idols and hope to reach God. True prayer must avoid the pitfall of asking to entreat. Ask, rather, to receive what is already given; to accept what is already there.

The Miracle is in the Mind

The reason J called it A Course in Miracles was because he wanted to change the definition of the word miracle. Instead of people thinking a miracle is something that happens out there on the screen you call the world – which is just the effect – he wanted people to start thinking of a miracle as something that happens in the mind, which is cause. ~ Love Has Forgotten No One: The Answer to Life   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Your Salvation

You are in charge of your salvation. You are in charge of the salvation of the world.

The Guiltless Mind Cannot Suffer

A completely guiltless mind would never suffer pain, although it could choose any number of lessons to teach. It's possible for people who are not masters to alleviate their pain and do countless remarkable things with their minds on the road to becoming masters.

As J says in the Manual for Teachers about a spiritual healer's patient, or for that matter any kind of a patient, '...Who is the physician? Only the mind of the patient himself. The outcome is what he decides that it is. Special agents seem to be ministering to him, yet they but give form to his own choice. He chooses them in order to bring tangible form to his desires.'

A World of Forgivness or Hatred?

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

Christianity is a Mixed Bag

We're not saying there isn't some good in Christianity or that Christian people are not sometimes the salt of the earth. But their religion is a mixed bag, because the world that is a projection of the mind that made it is such a mixed bag. If the mind is going to be healed, then it needs something that is not a mixed bag.   ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

The World Does Not Exist

The world you see does not exist, because the place where you perceive it is not real. 
~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles    Facebook.com/JDogACIM

What is the Ego?

What is the ego? But a dream of what you really are. A thought you are apart from your Creator and wish to be what He created not. It is a thing of madness, not reality at all.

Symbolic of What's In Your Unconscious

Remember that others' call for love is your call for love. You should be grateful to them; you need them as much as they need you. Without those images you see and the miracle, you'd never be able to find the way out. These images are symbolic of what's in your unconscious mind and without them, your unconscious guilt would be forever hidden from you – there would be no escape.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

Illusions and Humility

Illusions and humility have goals so far apart they cannot coexist, nor share a dwelling place where they can meet. Where one has come the other disappears. The truly humble have no goal but God because they need no idols, and defense no longer serves a purpose. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Trust the Holy Spirit Instead

The presence of fear is a sure sign you are trusting in your own strength.

Your Brothers and Sisters in Christ

In the illusion, there are beings who live on other planets, and some of them do visit Earth. Yes, they do have their own forgiveness lessons to learn. They're not REALLY out there, because the universe is in your mind. To believe that beings are necessarily more spiritually advanced than you just because they are more technically advanced would not always be true. What's important is that whether they are compassionate or not. They are your brothers and sisters in Christ - and that is how you should see them. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto

3 Ways to Get Inspired

The more you do your forgiveness homework, the more free your mind will become from the blocks to hearing spirit. And the more you practice joining with God in the silent form of true prayer, the more clear you'll be able to listen to spirit. Then there's the third way to be inspired, which is the conscious act of joining with spirit whenever it's appropriate in order to help yourself or others in a situation that calls for it.  ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/photo

Bodies Are All the Same

The more you forgive, the less you're taken in by the ego's tricks. As J says late in the Course about God's teachers, "They watch the dream figures come and go, shift and change, suffer and die. Yet they are not deceived by what they see. They recognize that to behold a dream figure as sick and separate is no more real than to regard it as healthy and beautiful."

So bodies, sick or healthy, are really all the same, because none of them are true. And there's not really any difference between sickness and death either. They're just different illusory levels of the thought of separation from God.   ~ Your Immortal Reality

Condemnation Not Good for Your Health

Forgiveness will never result in violence, but judgment (condemnation) will always result in some kind of negative effect on the level of form, even if the effect is just on your own health.

Which Came First: The Chicken or the Egg?

Arten: Do you have any questions before we proceed?
Gary: Yeah, which really DID come first, the chicken or the egg?
Arten: Obviously they were both made simultaneously, along with the rest of the universe. Within the illusion they appear to be separate, even though they’re not. 
~ The Disappearance of the Universe

Mikey: And of course, another way of saying, "within the illusion": there is no egg, there is no chicken, there is no universe!

Forgiveness Gets Easier

The more you practice forgiveness, the better you'll get at it, and it will seem easier to you at times. The key is doing it and not giving up. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

Violence is not of the Holy Spirit

Violence, which is the acting out of one's own self-hatred seen as being outside of oneself, will never come as a result of the thought system of the Holy Spirit, who teaches only love and forgiveness.

Your Success is with God

People always resist the truth; the ego wants what it made to be real. Forgive those who think you're a moron for not buying into the system, and stick to your principles. Don't forget, the Course isn't saying you can't be successful in the world, but it is saying you shouldn't believe it's true. Your real success is with God, because with Him you can't ever lose. However, if you stick around psycho planet long enough, then eventually you have to lose! ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

Question Your Values

To learn this course requires willingness to question every value that you hold. 
~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Applying it Automatically

Eventually the Course's thought system will be second nature to you, and you'll be able to apply it with less and less effort. Sometimes there's no thinking at all; it's just a way of being. Other times you will have to think about the Course's ideas, which reinforces your forgiving attitude. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Miracles are All the Same

You have to be willing to forgive everything equally. That's why the Course says that miracles are all the same. Eventually, you'll see the equality of the things that aren't important to you and the things that are important to you.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto]
Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

Everyone is the Same

What is the Course teaching except that everyone is the same, and that we are all Christ? That idea will at least help you think about people the way you should, and remember that if they're not expressing love then they must be calling out for it. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

The NOW is for Forgiveness

Time is over; you just can’t see it. The way to experience the truth is to forgive what’s in front of you NOW. 
~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF

Mikey's Note: That’s the only relevant thing you can do with the NOW, regardless of what E.T. may say. Like the Course says, “Forgiveness is the only function meaningful in time.”

Not About Giving Anything Up

Remember, everyone has preferences, and no one should feel guilty about that. This isn’t about giving them up, because the Course isn’t about behavior. At the same time, it’s helpful to remember, when you can, that none of what you see with the body’s eyes in this lifetime is true, and everything is for forgiveness. Many of the desires people have, as well as the relationship intricacies, both good and bad, are continuations of themes from past dream lifetimes. ~ Your Immortal Reality

Happy No Matter What

The result of practicing true forgiveness will leave you with the potential to attain the very same peace of God as J. Right now, you believe that certain things have to happen in the world in order for you to be happy. As you gain the peace of God, it will eventually result in the ability to reclaim your natural state of joy regardless of what appears to be happening in the world.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo  Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

The Antheist and the Martyr

No right mind can believe that its will is stronger than God’s. If, then, a mind believes that its will is different from His, it can only decide either that there is no God or that God’s Will is fearful. The former accounts for the atheist and the latter for the martyr, who believes that God demands sacrifices. Either of these insane decisions will induce panic, because the atheist believes he is alone, and the martyr believes that God is crucifying him.  ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Seeing Guilt or Innocence?

My attitude is that I look at the dream figures and I think, "The guilt I thought was in you isn't in you; it's really in me, because there's really only one of us, and you're just a figure I made up for my dream. I can forgive myself by forgiving you, and only by forgiving you, because you're symbolic of what's in my unconscious mind. If you're guilty then I'm guilty, but if you're innocent then I'm innocent."   ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Salvation vs Specialness

You have a function in salvation. Its pursuit will bring you joy. But the pursuit of specialness must bring you pain. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles    Facebook.com/JDogACIM
