Trusting the Holy Spirit

The Manual for Teachers in the Course teaches development of trust, but it's not some kind of a blind, religious faith. 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. ~ Love Has Forgotten No One   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo   Facebook.com/photo

Can't Always See the Results

The practicality of forgiveness can show itself in many ways, or the effects may not be observable at all. The Course says the miracle, which is the kind of forgiveness that comes from a place of cause and not effect, can "produce undreamed of changes in situations of which you are not even aware."

Forgive Them Father

When J said, "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do," the reason they didn't know what they were dong was because they were projecting their unconscious guilt onto him. But they didn't know it. They just thought they were right. Of course, what they really were was insane. ~ Love Has Forgotten No One   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

Absurd

There are some individuals who teach that everything J said 2000 years ago - and also those who teach that everything J says in the Course - should be taken literally. That's completely ABSURD. When it comes to what J says, the non-dualistic truth should be taken literally, but anything else is a metaphor. If you understand that - 2000 years ago or today - J makes sense. His Course makes sense all the way through, and the sayings he really said 2000 years ago that survived also make sense. And if you don't understand that, the Course appears to be contradicting itself. There are people who have given up on it because they thought it was contradicting itself when it wasn't. That's just one of many reasons why it's important that teachers know what they're talking about. ~ Love Has Forgotten No One   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Can't Make What You're Forgiving Real

Because of the way the mind works, when you make what you're forgiving real, you do NOT free yourself. You tell your own unconscious mind that YOU are guilty. Anyone who does the Course and does not understand that and live it is costing themselves a great deal of time, and so are the ones who teach them that way. ~ Love Has Forgotten One   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Got Gonads?

You can't forgive people because they did it. That's what the Course calls "Forgiveness to destroy." Forgiving that way is a waste of time. Yet even though 99 percent of Course teachers tell people to forgive, they don't teach people the kind of forgiveness that works. It doesn't undo the ego. They make what is being forgiven real. They don't have the gonads to tell people the world ISN'T real.

Unfairly Treated

Jesus says in the Course, "Beware of the temptation to perceive yourself unfairly treated." If you perceive yourself as unfairly treated, then you're making everything real, which makes the entire ego thought system of guilt real in your mind. The only way to find your innocence is to get that it's NOT real and forgive others for what they have not done in reality. And since it never happened, you can then think of them as being innocent. That's the way to have it for yourself. Never forget that. It's the only way out. ~ Love Has Forgotten No One   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo    Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Not About How it Looks

Don't worry about how you look to other people. If you care about how you look, then you're making it real. Why is it always about how it looks? What if it didn't mater what it looks like? Experience your OWN experience, not someone else's. ~ Love Has Forgotten No One

God is the Only Real Life

There is no real life except in God. That life, which you will experience permanently in Heaven after you attain enlightenment, is eternal life, which has no opposite. Eventually you'll return through true forgiveness, which enables you to undo your ego and go home to God. Any spirituality that doesn't teach you how to do that is going to take a long, long time. But if you undo the ego, you'll know that the seeming opposite to life is death, but death is just a belief that plays itself out in illusions. ~ Love Has Forgotten No One   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/photo

Walk Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death

What a lot of people don't realize about the last Supper was that there was a lot of laughter among the disciples that night, as well as from J and Mary. They usually looked like a normal couple. They had no airs or pretenses about them. That famous painting of the Last Supper, although it's not perfect, does a good job of showing them together that night. As for the laughter, a look at the Psalm of David. That's been read at a lot of people's funerals even though it doesn't have anything to do with dying. It's a way of living, fearless living. You can learn to laugh at death. Both and J and Mary loved that part of the scripture. It says, "Yay, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for thou art with me." ~ Love Has Forgotten No One Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo
