Not About Behavior

You must change your mind, not your behavior, and this IS a matter of willingness.

Salvation

Can you be saved by making sinful the one whose holiness is your salvation?

Sex is a Mental Experience

All experiences, including sex, are mental states - even if the illusion is that they take place in the body.

I remember visiting a church in Boston to hear a lecture by two Buddhist monks who grew up near the border of India and Tibet. After the lecture, people in the audience were given the opportunity to ask questions. Most of them were the nice "spiritual" questions people usually ask. Then one woman had the courage to get up and ask the monks how they could go so long - in one case, thirty years - without having sex. The monk who had been celibate the longest, and who spoke English as well as the Dalai Lama, thought for a minute and then surprised the audience with his reply, 'When you're coming all the time, it doesn't make any difference.' ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

Everything

God is not willing that His Son be content with less than everything.

A Miracle (Forgiveness)

A miracle is a correction. It does not create, or really change at all. It merely looks on devastation, and reminds the mind that what it sees is false. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

The Attitude of Non-Dualism

The attitude of non-dualism tells you that what you are seeing is not the truth. If it's not the truth, then how can you judge it? To judge it is to give it reality. But how can you judge and give reality to that which isn't there? And if it's not there, why would you need to acquire it, fight a war over it, or make it more holy or valuable than something else? ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Temptation

What you behold as sickness and as pain, and as weakness and as suffering and loss is but temptation to perceive yourself defenseless and in hell. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Rise Above Fatigue

Watch your mind for the temptations of the ego, and do not be deceived by it. It offers you nothing. When you have given up this voluntary dis-spiriting, you will see how your mind can focus and rise above fatigue and heal.  ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Just Forgive!

Instead of using illusions to defend my illusions against other illusions, I 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 tings 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   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Everyone's Innocent

The ego says others are guilty, because it secretly believes you're guilty. It uses anger and righteous indignation, or even laughing at others, to put distance between you and your guilt. You think only animals and children are innocent, because that's where you've chosen to see your own seemingly lost innocence. The ego has to put the idea of innocence SOMEWHERE. But the Holy Spirit says everyone is completely innocent because he knows you're completely innocent. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

No Differences in Heaven

There are no differences in Heaven and no changes. Everything is constant. That's the only way it can be completely dependable instead of chaotic. There will be no recognition of differences in Heaven because they're are none. There is however a perpetual high that will blow away anything you can experience here because it is beyond all highs. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

Denying Your Own Identity

Depression means that you have forsworn God. Many are afraid of blasphemy, but they do not understand what it means. They do not realize that to deny God is to deny their own Identity.

Peace of God or War?

Always remember that your state of mind and the resulting goal you will achieve are in your own hands, because there are really only two things you can do - judge as an expression of fear, or forgive as an expression of love. One perception leads to the peace of God and the other perception leads to war.   ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

No Need to Hold on to Guilt

The difference between your mistakes and the mistakes of enlightened Beings rests in their ability to practice true forgiveness. They realize that if the mistakes of others should be forgiven immediately, then so should theirs. They also know it doesn’t really matter what they do, but few people are ready to accept that. Most carry their mistakes and their guilt with them for eons, but there is no need for that.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Purpose of the Body

The purpose of the body is to make the illusion seem real. But since the body is part of the illusion, it can hardly be counted on to tell you of the illusion's unreality. It was given form by the same decision to be separate through projection, which is what made the entire illusion in the first place. You wanted the separation so the guilt would be in other bodies and not yours, and thus outside of you and in them. But because projection made the perception of everything, the cause of it all is still right there in your mind, and minds can be changed. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe

No Need to Delay Joy

 How long do you want to wait to be completely prepared for Heaven? As the Course reminds you, "...Your brothers are everywhere. You do not have to seek far for salvation. Every minute and every second gives you a chance to save yourself. Do not lose these chances, not because they will not return, but because delay of joy is needless."  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Your Real 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

Forgiveness is the Only Way Out

Gary: It occurred to me that I drink because I think I'm guilty, even though I'm not really guilty, and I'm afraid of God, even though my fear shows up as worry about other things.

Arten: Yes, but that doesn't mean that people who don't drink, smoke or use drugs aren't afraid. They just find other ways of dealing with it or denying it. Forgiveness is the only way out for everyone.

Sacrifice Brings Nothing

Those who believe in sin must think the Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice, for this is how they think THEIR purpose is accomplished. Brother, the Holy Spirit knows that sacrifice brings nothing. He makes no bargains. And if you seek to limit Him, you will hate Him because you are afraid.

God Is

The phrase "God Is" must be taken in the light of pure non-dualism. God is, and nothing else is. It's easy enough for people to get the first part of that statement, that God is. It's very difficult to accept the second part, that nothing else is. That's why we cease to speak, because there is nothing else.

The Metaphors of A Course in Miracles

 When the Course makes statements about God weeping for His children and stuff like that, you have to take it symbolically as the Holy Spirit wanting us to choose His Voice instead of the ego's.
