The Third Part of the Mind

We all have a right mind where the Holy Spirit dwells, and a wrong mind which is dominated by the ego and its thoughts of separation. Which part of the mind controls us is decided by the third part of the mind; the part that observes and chooses. That’s where our real power, the power of decision is. You make that decision mostly in how you choose to think of others.

You can always tell which students are understanding and applying the Course and which ones are not. The ones who are have no need to judge and condemn others, or if they do they catch themselves, stop themselves, and change their minds. On the other hand, the students who are resisting the message and practice of the course are very, very good at pointing out the ego in somebody else. They’re experts at it. “Oh, he’s in his ego,” is a favorite observation. But that’s not forgiveness. ~ The Lifetimes When Jesus and Buddha Knew Each Other   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo
