 David just sent out a post a few days ago about, you know, nothing will satisfy you in this world and the feeling of home will continue to haunt you and that's what I have been feeling like there is a feeling that has been haunting me and at the beginning because I was brought up as an atheist and it didn't come to me clearly as a Longing for God at the very beginning. I always had this very strong Desire to come to the United States That's the the home feeling that's haunting me in my mind and that's something that is very Concrete is a location that I'm longing for and so So I You know many many years that it I went to Australia moved to Australia first and then I got an opportunity to come to the United States and To study in Chicago and was gonna get a job here to settle down And I thought This is not it Why have I been feeling? This desire to come when this is not it so So I just decided at that point that I would drop all this You know whatever fantasy that I had and I went back to Australia and that was the end of This desire for location in the world. I just went back to Australia and thinking, you know what now Suddenly all my dream just got shattered. I didn't really understand why I had been wanting to come to the United States all these years and Then at that point I actually Was pounding what whether Australia was the place for me or should I go back to my home country? Which was China or anywhere else in the world and I heard this loud voice stay here Stay there is something big and happen and it was so obvious It's almost like now when I think of it It's almost like an airplane that you can hear is coming But you haven't seen it and it's that obvious like I could feel something is coming. I could feel it I could hear it. It could feel it. I haven't seen it and And I waited for five years for that thing to come and that was David Actually, I realized maybe it was the same year that you visit Australia for the first time and when I moved there but took five years for my awareness to open up for I actually went to your retreat and And then that hunting that that feeling of how being haunted started to Be clear that it was a feeling You know for something that is not of the world is almost like a Feeling of coming home or for a look going back to God and that was you know a spiritual past seems That I felt okay. That's that's my home. That's you know, that's my destination and So eventually I now I'm here in the United States It's almost like a circle. It's not a location. It's not even a spiritual path Now after I got here It's all about coming inward like almost like this book the alchemist that he Travel around the world and found the treasure is in his backyard is is at his home And that's what I'm feeling like when I got here and I love this Some I think some saints say said that You know, if you really want to know room you got to have to go into the room lock the door and throw the key away To really explore worse inside and that's what I feel that you know people come here and We throw the key away To go inside because this is the last place we want to go We try actually every single method to to not go inside but after You know looking everywhere for treasures now, you know, we we sort of sense. Okay is here And that's just locked the door throughout all options and and just really come down To find the treasure inside and that's that's you know, I just realized also another thing with Living in this life if I can really summarize and put it in words I would say it is a life of No exceptions and You know use use the you know the term in the course Because we don't have exceptions when we apply The principles of the course anymore everything is exactly the same Every single project every person Every comments every thought is the same and we have to look at everything exactly the same way that is to Hand it over to the spirit and allow the light to shine on it so we can see it with the light and Or another another term if I can say would be bring the illusion to truth Instead of bring truth to illusion and that's what I used to do when I was having course miracle groups in Sydney which was to you know and I think that's probably a good start because we still wanted to have a good life in the world and a Spiritual path could be a possible solution after we try out every single solution in the world So we wanted to have these spiritual principles so that we can improve our life. I can improve my health. I Can improve my relationship But really now here. We're really looking at you know we bring the illusion of a personal relationship the illusion of a sickness in the body and you know every single illusion To the light to be reinterpreted and to not even assume that we know what this is about so that is I would say a summary of What I have been doing and what everybody has been doing here day in and day out So I just want to welcome you to come to our Family and really I just think because I started as a volunteer and I just want to taste What it feels like to really live the principle because I remember when Jason I first met Jason, Australia He said to me because I was talking about the course theories Very you know, I can just articulate the the theories metaphysically ghosting everything and He just very gently said to me well We really talk from experience It's it's the best to talk from experience. Have you had any experience? And I thought you know at that moment. I almost have this. I had to be experienced like yes No, I don't know what you're talking about But now it is it is I have experience and I have Experience and all the insights come from the experience It's really doesn't matter about the words because we all feel each other Energetically, you know, it's not we don't listen to the words anymore and that's you know, we can taste the truth We we are the truth So I don't really have a lot more to say just Feel like it was just great honor for me to come here at the beginning be a volunteer and Really throw myself into this and give everything To really experience what the course teaching and I was very determined to prove it for myself Whether it's true or not The experience that we're talking about is not localized. So it's not about a place I know I've been in all these countries a lot of the countries I go to I don't even speak the languages and And I just have seen thousands of witnesses of happy joyful people You know, look this world is just a call to witnesses of what we believe So I've seen so many thousands and thousands and it's all been part of my Mind training my healing. It's it's such a glorious life that We laugh all day like today. I was looking and doing something on the internet and one of these headlines came on and it's The headline was Kate Winslet has ticket to space so we were left and we were talking about it and It's like Kate. She's got such a great life, you know Leonardo and the Titanic and all those great movies and now she's going to space I mean my god, you know, we were talking about it. We were all rejoicing everything and and We were saying what a great life what a great life and then you said You said That's my life. I love my life. I mean, that's how spectacular our lives are in forgiveness in Following our joy in following the Holy Spirit and following intuition, you know, if I had a little bird that I could Have recorded all these different encounters. I've had in all these different countries It is spectacular. Maybe even that's that's too small of a word for it because it we are God's will for us is perfect happiness and when we give ourselves over To listening and following and going with that joy It just gets more joyful more gleeful more spectacular as we go along We have new vistas of mind that open up And we see how powerful our mind is and we see everything is a reflection of our mind And so, you know, that's part of it. I think mostly You know, you don't really teach with the words, but if If even the parables of some of the things that that we've gone through Inspires just a little spark of oh that sounds good. Oh, I want more of that or whatever Then it has served its purpose Because what that's all we can really do is inspire we can't really teach anybody else We can't convince anybody. There's really nothing to change in the world. It's not what we're not trying to Grow anything or make anything or make anything bigger or better or more Wonderful, it's just wanting that experience more than anything else and Trusting that all the darkness has to come up and be brought to the light and Willing being willing to make no exceptions day to day today moment by moment It's fun to live an uncompromising life It's it's fun To be transparent you start to see there's no secrets to hide you've been playing hide and seek with your Christ self All along and now it's like the game. It's time for the game to be over
