You must change your mind, not your behavior, and this IS a matter of willingness.

Salvation
Can you be saved by making sinful the one whose holiness is your salvation?

Sex is a Mental Experience
All experiences, including sex, are mental states - even if the illusion is that they take place in the body.
I remember visiting a church in Boston to hear a lecture by two Buddhist monks who grew up near the border of India and Tibet. After the lecture, people in the audience were given the opportunity to ask questions. Most of them were the nice "spiritual" questions people usually ask. Then one woman had the courage to get up and ask the monks how they could go so long - in one case, thirty years - without having sex. The monk who had been celibate the longest, and who spoke English as well as the Dalai Lama, thought for a minute and then surprised the audience with his reply, 'When you're coming all the time, it doesn't make any difference.' ~ The Disappearance of the Universe Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo Facebook.com/photo

Everything
God is not willing that His Son be content with less than everything.

A Miracle (Forgiveness)
A
miracle is a correction. It does not create, or really change at all.
It merely looks on devastation, and reminds the mind that what it sees
is false. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles

The Attitude of Non-Dualism
The
attitude of non-dualism tells you that what you are seeing is not the
truth. If it's not the truth, then how can you judge it? To judge it is
to give it reality. But how can you judge and give reality to that which
isn't there? And if it's not there, why would you need to acquire it,
fight a war over it, or make it more holy or valuable than something
else? ~ The Disappearance of the Universe Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Temptation
What
you behold as sickness and as pain, and as weakness and as suffering and
loss is but temptation to perceive yourself defenseless and in hell. ~

Rise Above Fatigue
Watch
your mind for the temptations of the ego, and do not be deceived by it.
It offers you nothing. When you have given up this voluntary
dis-spiriting, you will see how your mind can focus and rise above
fatigue and heal. ~ J-Dog, The Voice of A Course in Miracles Facebook.com/JDogACIM

Just Forgive!
Instead
of using illusions to defend my illusions against other illusions, I
just forgive. That leads to Heaven; it's a factoid. It's like you're
replacing the dream that leads away from truth with the dream that leads
to truth, 'cause as the Course says about salvation, "...What could it
be except a happy dream? It asks you but that you forgive all tings that
no one ever did; to overlook what is not there, and not to look upon
the unreal as reality." ~ The Disappearance of the Universe Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo Facebook.com/DWMJF/photo

Everyone's Innocent
The
ego says others are guilty, because it secretly believes you're guilty.
It uses anger and righteous indignation, or even laughing at others, to
put distance between you and your guilt. You think only animals and
children are innocent, because that's where you've chosen to see your
own seemingly lost innocence. The ego has to put the idea of innocence
SOMEWHERE. But the Holy Spirit says everyone is completely innocent
because he knows you're completely innocent. ~ The Disappearance of the
