 The world is neutral and as we said lesson number two is I have given everything I see all the meaning it has for me. So like in that specific case it's coming from a belief that a working computer is more valuable than a broken computer but really they're the same. Why? They're both illusions. Why? They both share the same purpose actually. A broken computer and a working computer share the same purpose. Forgiveness. It just sees the false as false. It sees all the images are the same. A broken body and a healed body are the same. A crucified body on the cross with blood coming out of the arms and legs and a healed body taking a walk on a sunny day. They're the same. Everything is the same because everything was made by the ego and there's no hierarchy of illusions and there's no differences really. There's only one ego and there's really the image of the world that it seemed to project is one with that ego. It's all in a healed mind. You just see everything is completely unified. I'm certainly happy to go into quantum physics and give the scientific explanations of all these things too as the course of miracles vernacular but once you start to see that the investment comes from the belief that there's a difference. For example, a working computer is more valuable than one that's not working or a working car is better than the one that's not working. What we see as we go forward, we're coming into that alignment with let all things be exactly as they are. Even in terms of relationships, it seems like it's all relative in terms of meaning like people will say marriage. Oh, great, great, marriage. Celebrate, celebrate, party, party, party, divorce. Oh, too bad. That's too bad. Listen, if you're following the ego and getting married on ego advice, that's not a good thing. If you're following the Holy Spirit and getting a divorce based on guidance from the Holy Spirit, that's a really good thing. You see, it's the purpose that's behind the action that's all important and how that contradicts the standards of the world which says, for example, in most cultures, birth is something to celebrate. That's why we have birthdays. They don't celebrate death days. Oh, it's your dad's death day. How many years has he been dead? Well, 12. Okay, let's celebrate. This is death day. No, no. They celebrate the birthdays. Why did they celebrate the birthdays and not the death days? I don't know. It's because we flipped around. Yeah, the party, you know, could be flipped around in different cultures. But that's the thing is that it's just meaning that's read into things about what's good and what's bad. And there is no universal agreement. Like we could have, the Mexicans could be like, the exception. If you have an exception, then it's like, okay, there it goes. It's just, it could be this or it could be that. It could be either way. And it's the same. I mean, I had a friend one time who came over and his whole business, his whole career was computer technology and working with computers and everything. And he came to visit me one day. This was many years ago, kind of in the early years of computers, of PC computers. And he came and he was visiting with me and he said, can I just check out your computer? And I said, go ahead. Go ahead. So he went on and he went, oh my God. Dave, your computer has no, no virus protection on it. It's just totally vulnerable. It's just, and I'm like, I have my course of miracles search on it and I don't know what I'm doing. I don't even know if I'm email course of miracles search and whatever. You know, he's like, oh, it's vulnerable. It's, oh, this is terrible and dangerous. It's dangerous. I can't believe you have no virus protection. So he goes into his school bag and he gets his software and everything and he goes to work feverishly. Like, there's going to be some virus that's going to come in and just destroy the computer that afternoon and just feverishly to get my computer protected. And he's working, working, working, and he works for hours. I'm just sitting there talking with him about the course and ideas and it's really not in the form and it's all in the mind and there's a backdrop really, us too, at the computer. And finally, he's trying to get this virus, this anti-virus protection loaded on and the whole thing crashes. The whole computer crashes and his face goes, oh my God. He said, what, what happened? He said, don't you know? The worst thing that could ever happen to a computer is a total crash. I said, really? And he's like, no, David, you don't understand. It's terrible. And he kept looking to my eyes and he started to finally get what I was talking about. Always bearable. He was like, he was in the computer in a major way to talk about miracles, to get beyond the form. But it was his whole conditioning. He was identified. Every issue was really a question of identity. He was identified as being, worked for a university and their whole systems of computers. And in my case, it was the beginning of the undoing of what he thought he knew, of the, I know mind about computers. And when I had the group of students back in the 1990s, we would sit down and I would say, does anyone think they know something? They would all raise their hands and some were like nurses. They knew about the body and the systems of the body and medicines. And some thought they knew about computers and some thought they knew about business and everything. And we would go into it deeper and deeper. I would take them down more to the, I don't know mind, which is much more honest. It's much more honest to look at this world and say, I don't know. I mean, you're being very honest. It's very humble to get to that point. You took a lot of practice. So these kind of things that seem to fall apart, break down, or even if you notice you have an investment. You know, maybe you're dating someone and you're dating, dating, dating, dating. You know, dating, dating and you're hoping you can get a relationship going, whatever that means. You know, get to a certain point where it turns into a relationship. Mysteriously, the people say, are you in a relationship? What does that really mean anyway? How do you know that you're in one? How do you cross that line? When are you out and when are you in? Right. I mean, you know, you can ask that about a lot of things in this world. But there are all these definitions. And then you suddenly notice that you are rooting for certain outcomes. And then wanting to use the mind and the mind training to get the outcomes. And it's kind of a contradiction. In fact, that's why a lot of spiritual teachers talk about the magic of manifesting and the power of manifesting. And I teach that manifestation is impossible. So that's very popular, I'm sure. I have really well attended seminars when I teach that manifesting is impossible. But if everything is mind and everything is unified, what would that even mean? There is really nothing that's separate. And when we talk about taking something from thought and making it manifest in form, the form part is the illusion part. It's just a trick as if it's not the same as everything else. And that's where the fragmented perception comes in. Now I've talked about the God particle. Some of you know, I'm over in Europe now, so this is where the scientists fire the subatomic particles down in Geneva at the tube and they crash. And they discovered this July, the Higgs boson subatomic particles. Everyone aware of Higgs boson? They're calling it the God particle, which only scientists would name a particle that's highly destructive in a frequency range, the God particle. I think there's some really deep hatred going on under that to name a highly destructive particle, the God particle. But you've all heard this for a few times. Does anybody want to talk about Higgs boson? So this is fun for me because it's Higgs boson, the particle is everywhere. It's everywhere in the cosmos, so they're saying it's part of the Big Bang. And because it's in this range of frequency that's highly destructive, a couple of weeks ago I saw the headline said, universe is doomed. That was the headline, universe is doomed. I knew that all along. It took them all this while to discover the Higgs boson particle and put a headline out, universe is doomed. But even though it's doomed and the universe will end, the cosmos will end. They said don't worry at the end of the article because it will end at the speed of light and you won't know what hits you. A disappearance of the universe and you won't even know that it happened. This is starting to sound familiar. It's just all describing what we've been experiencing as we go deeper with the course. It's a figment of imagination and it will end at the speed of light. You might have a good laugh at the end if you could even get a laugh in it that quick. You might not even be able to get a ha ha ha at that speed. But it's all good. It's always coming together the way it's being explained.
