 It's just a dream. So there really aren't any attractive or unattractive parts to the dream. It's the only state of mind. It's the only way to live in continuous gratitude. It's the only way to feel the grace of God. It's the only way to have no expectations. As soon as you value anything of this world, then you have an attachment. Buddha talked about Jesus where you have an expectation. So to me that is the gift of this. No attraction, no repulsion to anything. It's absolutely essential. It has to be uncompromising. It has to be unequivocal too because as soon as you want something from the world, the mind is so powerful that the world will seem to want something from you. If you still have characters in the dream that are still pointing the fingers or accusing or saying your life should be different or cautioning you, all those are just symbols of still wanting something from the world. Because you could but laugh at these things if you see the possibility of them. But while you still want something from it, it's a very powerful mind. It will show up. We were driving over today and there was a little gecko on the rear of the mirror hanging on there as we were coming. He actually stuck his head down at the bottom of the mirror in the wind and he was just cleaning and hanging on there. But we're opening up to the state of mind where there's no sense of clean to anything. There's no need to clean. This is like an idol made to take the place of divine, got the unconditional universal love. So the wish to be special, to wish to be a little different, a little more unique, a little better than, you know, slight comparisons have come in my head of something or someone that's very, very, very subtle. I had a psychologist wrote to me this morning and he's reading one of my books, I think, Awakening Through Course in Miracles and he was reading a part where he loved the dialogue that was happening because he finally got flashes of insight to what Jesus was teaching. You know, it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle and for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. We've been pondering that for decades and he was poofed. He finally got a flash and he was like, oh, I'm seeing that it's not per se the wealth, it's the rich man is just a metaphor or a symbol for desiring something of the world or desiring that the dream be more than a dream, that it have something that's attractive, something of value. That's really the symbol of the rich man and he said, I finally get it, that would negate, there's no hierarchy of illusions, there's no order of difficulty in miracles because any aspect of the dream that's a little different than any other aspect or a little better or a little worse or a little enjoyable. Oftentimes people will say, why would I want to renounce enjoyment of the things of the world for something that I'm not even sure is there? Why would I sacrifice what is part of my daily routine that I get enjoyment from? It could be anything, a cup of tea, a breeze blowing in from the ocean on the cheek. It could be the slightest thing, a butterfly landing on your finger and you enjoy the little feel of it. It doesn't really matter but that's where the miracle work comes in. There has to be a function, a joy, a glee that's greater than the tiny little pleasures and pains, little good things and bad things of the world that transcends that. And who would give up duality unless you've got a pretty strong glimpse of something that's transcendent of that duality? So it's not really about renunciation, I think for me it's more a path of diving into joy, diving in, fully going for it and having an experience that draws you higher and higher and higher and meanwhile you're not looking back on what you're letting go of because you don't really feel like you're actually letting go of anything. I don't feel like I gave up anything in my life. I just don't have regrets. I never think, oh I wish for the good old days, these are the good old days. I just don't ever have regrets no matter what it is.
