The World is Not Your Home

This world you seem to live in is not home to you. And somewhere in your mind you know that this is true.

As You See Him...

If the world is real. then sins are real and others are 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

The Chain that Binds You

Each thing you value here is but a chain that binds you to the world, and it will serve no other end but this.

All About How You Look at Other People

Even though what you do isn't the focus, what you do is a result of what you think. So sometimes you can tell a lot about people by the way they are. How you treat other people is a pretty good indication of how you feel about yourself. If you're looking at people with hostility, you're saying that you have a mind that's in conflict. If you're looking at them with kindness, it's a symptom of a mind that has peace. Not only that, but it will determine and reinforce how you feel about yourself. ~Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

The Insignificance of the Body

You must forgive yourself as surely as you must forgive others, or else you're not really getting the insignificance of the body. Your body is no more real or more important than any other body.

Saving Thousands of Years

A miracle, according to the Course, is a shift in perception over to the Holy Spirit’s way of thinking, and not merely a modification of your own thoughts, forms, or circumstances. The Course says that the miracle can progress you much farther and faster along your spiritual path than would have otherwise been possible. For example, the Text says, ‘The miracle is the only device at your immediate disposal for controlling time.’ And, ‘The miracle substitutes for learning that might have taken thousands of years.’  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto

Remember to Laugh

One of the Holy Spirit’s finest tools is laughter, my brother. If you take the world too seriously, it will take you. It’s important to remember to laugh.

Filling the Deep Emptiness

Everyone wants their life to have meaning, but they're looking for it in the wrong place - in the world. People feel a deep emptiness somewhere, and then they try to fill in the hole with some accomplishment or relationship on the level of form. Yet all of these things, by definition, are transitory at best. Thus you need to realize, as J counsels very early in the Text, 'A sense of separation from God is the only lack you really need correct.' ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

No Need to Suffer Any More

There is no need to suffer any more. But there IS need that you be healed, because the suffering and sorrow of the world have made it deaf to its salvation and deliverance. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Any Job Can Be Spiritual

It's not what you do in the world, it's whom you do it with, the ego or the Holy Spirit. Each choice leads to a totally different experience. People may think they can judge others by what they do, but that's not always the case. Somebody may have a job where they have to do things that may not appear to be spiritual to the world. Yet anything can be spiritual if you choose the Holy Spirit to guide you. So no job is really any more spiritual than any other job. ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Changing Your Mind

I have said that you cannot change your mind by changing your behavior, but I have also said, and many times, that you CAN change your mind. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Your Unconscious Guilt: Projecting it or Forgiving it?

Projection always follows denial. People have to project their repressed guilt onto others, or correctly forgive it. Those are the only two choices that are available, no matter how complex the world may seem. If you want to outplay the ego and successfully turn the tables on it, you have to be alert for that warning sign of discomfort or anger, and then stop reacting and start forgiving.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

No Fear

Perfect Spirit as Your Identity

There's nothing meaningful in the concept of being a "co-creator" with God on the level of the world, because J is saying that the only meaningful thing the mind can do that involves any kind of creative ability is you give up whatever appears to be separate. That doesn't mean you give it up physically, which would just make it real to the mind; you give it up by not believing in it, and choose perfect spirit as your identity instead.  ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Dwell Not on Sickness

Healing is the opposite of all the world's ideas which dwell on sickness and on separate states.

Establish Your Worth With God

You don't have to establish your worth with God. That was done in God's mind when He created you. Nothing else that appears to happen in the universe of perception can change that - except in your mistaken dreams. As the Course helps you to remember, "You dwell not here but in eternity."

Specialness

Pursuit of specialness is always at the cost of peace. You can defend your specialness, but never will you hear the Voice for God beside it. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Have Fun!

Forgiveness doesn't mean you have to give up anything on the level of form. Your psychological attachment to things (and to people and circumstances) is one of the ways your ego clings to the body and the world. That will need to be forgiven. It masks you unconscious resistance to the truth that there is no world.

Most people don't want to hear that their dreams and passions are really false idols - a substitute for God and Heaven. There's nothing wrong with your dream if you understand it and forgive it. Forgive - and then do what you and the Holy Spirit choose to. And have fun!

The Mature Mind

The illusory universe is a place of tension and release. That's duality. With the Course, the tension is released by forgiveness, but until someone is very proficient at it, they shouldn't be expected to give up most earthly desires. That's something that comes naturally with the maturity of a mind that is advanced in the ways of true forgiveness. ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

You Don't Have to Sacrifice

When people begin studying the Course, they always mistakenly think they are being asked to sacrifice something. As the Manual for Teachers points out, 'It seems as if things are being taken away, and it is rarely understood initially that their lack of value is merely being recognized.'  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

If it Rains on Your Birthday...

Consider the beauty that you see, or even just think of, to be a SYMBOL of your abundance as Christ. That way, if it rains on your birthday and you can't go out and look at the beauty, it's still there where it really always was - in your mind.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Seek Not Outside Your Self

You can continue to worship your idols, but how wise would that be? As the Course counsels you, ‘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.’~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto  Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Forgiveness Ends Time

Forgiveness does not aim at keeping time, but at its ending, when it has no use. Its purpose ended, it is gone. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

The Gift of Innocence and Forgiveness

When you really get that there's nobody out there but Christ, then you can give the other person the gift of forgiveness and innocence. Then, as the Course teaches you, that's how you'll think of yourself, 'To give this gift is how to make it yours.' Then after you forgive, trust J, who is also the Holy Spirit. Also try to remember that it doesn't matter if you can see results or not. If you work with J or the Holy Spirit and practice forgiveness, then you always have an impact. As the Course says, 'A miracle is never lost. It may touch many people you have not even met, and produce undreamed of changes in situations of which you are not even aware.' ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

True Forgiveness

True forgiveness means you don't judge and condemn another. There's not really any sin and guilt out there, because nothing's happened except in a dream, and dreams are not real. So J counsels you in his Course not to make the ideas of sin and guilt real in the people, events, and situations you see in the world. When you seem to see some twisted form of the original error rising to frighten you, say only, 'God is not fear, but Love,' and it will disappear. ~Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

The World is Just an Effect

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

How To Really 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

Releasing Your Psychological Attachment

Forgiveness doesn't mean you have to give up anything on the level of form. Your psychological attachment to things (and to people and circumstances) is one of the ways your ego clings to the body and the world. That will need to be forgiven. It masks you unconscious resistance to the truth that there is no world. Most people don't want to hear that their dreams and passions are really false idols - a substitute for God and Heaven. There's nothing wrong with your dream if you understand it and forgive it. Forgive - and then do what you and the Holy Spirit choose to.

Elusive Shadows

No one decides against his happiness, but he may do so if he does not see he does it. And if he sees his happiness as ever changing, now this, now that, and now an elusive shadow attached to nothing, he does decide against it. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Guidance at the MInd Level

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. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Freedom or Bondage?

You meet people in this lifetime whom you’ve had dealings with before in other lifetimes, whether through special love or special hate. When you meet someone in this lifetime you’ve known before in other dream lifetimes, it’s because you’re orbiting each other just as planets orbit the sun. Because you’ve been setup, the outcome isn’t always pretty; some lifetimes you’ll be the victim, and other times the victimizer. The question is, what are you going to use it for this time, freedom or bondage? Are you going to get that you’re NOT a victim and take responsibility for dreaming,or are you going to make it real and stay stuck here?  ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto
