Don't Give the Ego Power

Only your allegiance to the ego gives it any power over you.

Your Are Worthy of 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."

Forgiving Pain and Suffering

The idea of thinking that God would have to create the world in order to experience duality so He could appreciate and enjoy Himself is the equivalent of the idea that in order to experience and enjoy sex, you would have to also experience getting shot in the gut. No. Pain is the result of the guilt that came from thinking you separated yourself from God, and you don't have to experience pain in order to experience the pleasure of reality. But you do have to forgive pain and suffering and give it up in order to return to reality. ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto

Sin is not Real

No one can forgive a sin that he believes is real. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

Nothing Wrong With Having Preferences

Remember, everyone has preferences. 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 is true, and EVERYTHING is for forgiveness. ~ Your Immortal Reality

The Universal Application of Forgiveness

Doing forgiveness most of the time isn't enough. Sure, you're better off in many ways, but the only real ticket out of here is through universal application.

If you remember it's really your own secret beliefs you have about yourself in your unconscious mind that you choose to see in others as a way of escaping from them, then you can get that you are the one being freed through your forgiveness. As the Course asks, 'Would they be willing to accept the fact their savage purpose is directed against themselves?'  ~ Your Immortal Reality   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

It's Only a Dream

It’s only a dream, and it’s actually possible for you to have the kind of peace of mind and lack of fear that would accompany the conviction of that truth. As J asks you so pointedly in the Course, "What if you recognized this world is an hallucination? What if you really understood you made it up?"

The Murderous Thought System

The Course wants to help people realize what's in their unconscious - so they can get rid of it. Most people, especially nice, spiritual people, don't know about the murderous thought system that runs this universe, or the hatred that's underneath the surface of their mind. Nor do most of them want to know. Most people just want everything to be hunky-dory. You can't blame them for wanting peace, but real peace is found by undoing the ego, not by covering it over (and continuing to project it.) ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Forgiveness Releases the Tension

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/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Minimizing the Need for Time

The miracle (forgiveness) minimizes the need for time. It substitutes for learning that might have taken thousands of years. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles   Facebook.com/JDogACIM
