Ending Unpleasant Patterns

It’s crucial to take advantage of the lessons that are presented to you on any given day. Those are the lessons the Holy Spirit wants you to learn. If you learn them – and you do so by practicing true forgiveness, the kind that comes from cause and not effect – then you won’t have to repeat the same kinds of patterns all over again in your next dream lifetime. ~ Love Has Forgotten No One: The Answer to Life  Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto    Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

You Have Work to Do

Any attempt to remain in the present moment will fail unless certain work is done by the student. That’s because there is something in the mind that prevents you from STAYING in the present moment. Most spiritualities don’t even know about it, much less teach you how to have it healed. Also, the most popular teachers of A Course in Miracles don’t know about it or teach you how to have it healed, because they haven’t really learned the Course. ~ Love Has Forgotten No One: The Answer to Life  Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Your Actions Don't Really Matter

Why would it matter what happens in an illusion, unless you have given the illusion a power it does not and can not have? How could it matter what result is produced in a particular situation unless you have made a false idol out of the situation? It doesn't matter what actions you take or don't take in the world - although your way of seeing and the attitude you maintain while engaging in any action DOES matter.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

The Course is Purely Non-Dualistic

Bill (Thetford) understood what the Course was saying. Only the perfect, non-dualistic oneness of God is real, and nothing else is real, which is exactly what that ancient Hindu text, the Vedanta, was saying, although of course, people then took it and misinterpreted it in much the same way they're doing today with the Course.

It’s imperative that you stick to the message of the Course. Don’t compromise on it. A Course in Miracles is purely non-dualistic. We don’t want the same thing to happen to the message of the Course that happened to J’s message 2,000 years ago. That’s one of the main reasons we’re back: to help keep people focused, including you. We want you to tell it straight, and if someone criticizes you or your message, then after you forgive them, tell them that they are in error. You have the right to not remain silent. ~ Your Immortal Reality

The Happy Dream

The happy dream is necessary because if the rug of time and space got pulled out from under me suddenly, it would be too much for me to handle. The dream of separation seems too real for me to wake up suddenly without crapping a brick. Like the Course puts it:

...So fearful is the dream, so seeming real, he could not waken to reality without the sweat of terror and a scream of mortal fear, unless a gentler dream preceded his awaking, and allowed his calmer mind to welcome, not to fear, the Voice that calls with love to waken him; a gentler dream, in which his suffering was healed and where his brother was his friend. ~ Gary Renard, The Disappearance of the Universe  Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo   Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Nothing Will Make You Happy Here

J had forgiven the world - his mind had been returned to the Holy Spirit where it belonged. That's where your mind belongs. You took it, and you have to give it back. And I've got a message for you: You'll never really be happy until you do. No matter what you imagine you have accomplished in any lifetime, there will always be a part of you that feels like something is missing - because in your illusions something IS missing.  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto

A Peaceful Mind

Peace of mind is clearly an internal matter. It must begin with your own thoughts, and then extend outward. It is from your peace of mind that a peaceful perception of the world arises.

The Body is Nothing

The body no more dies than it can feel. It does nothing. Of itself it is neither corruptible nor incorruptible. It IS nothing. It is the result of a tiny, mad idea of corruption that can be corrected.

Sin is not Real

When you are tempted to believe that sin is real, remember this: If sin is real, both God and you are not. If sin is real, God must be at war with Himself. He must be split, and torn between good and evil; partly sane and partially insane. For He must have created what wills to destroy Him, and has the power to do so. Is it not easier to believe that you have been mistaken than to believe in this.
