 So, I've always said it's a practical spirituality, it's not like there's anything that we need to do in form, but as we keep asking the questions and we go deeper into the spirit, we pray to the spirit to heal our mind, we pray to the spirit to show us a unified perception, we pray to show us the world the way it really is, not in distortions, and it's a very deep journey. And I know I had the same thing. When I was much younger I had a twisted ankle, I was taken to the hospital, I had wonderful symbols of helpers helping me out with that, putting a cast on my ankle. When I had a hernia operation, again, wonderful symbols of doctors and nurses in the compound, that's when this body was much, much younger, much earlier version of this body. But as I learned to tune into the spirit and I slowed with the spirit, the care and the attention for this body and the world has just decreased and decreased and decreased because the fulfillment of the spirit is everything. A tranquil, happy, open mind is what health is. So, when we start to look at things like the body, we've got a lot of learning to do because we've all been trained that bodies are sick, bodies are limited, bodies have symptoms. That's what we've been talking about in the course group, the whole idea of sick bodies versus well bodies. It's interesting conditioning for something that's actually neutral. It's going to be like going to see in terms of endearment and coming home all sad, crying on the couch and having your spouse come up and say, what's wrong? It's just all terms of endearment and I'm all sick of crying. Oh, why are you sad? No, everywhere died. Everywhere didn't die, she's still alive. No, she died. I watched her die. Jack Nicholson was there, sugar McLean. He's sad. He just cried all the way through the last part of the movie. Never went or died. No, she didn't die. If you could try to claim that Jack Nicholson is an actress, you know, Jack Nicholson is an actress. He's like, don't get caught up in believing that the movie's real. It's just a movie, just actress. Well, guess what this world is? It's an act. All the world's a stage and everyone was played apart. It's Shakespeare telling us about this act, you know, years ago, decades ago. And when we start to take the act seriously, we start to believe the characters are real characters and the conditions are real conditions and so forth. It's quite disturbing. We lose our peace very quickly when we give reality to images. When we give reality to shadows on the wall. Most people don't go to the movie theater and pay whatever. Eight, ten, twelve, sixteen, twenty dollars, whatever, in order to just sit there and go, just a movie, just a movie, just a movie, just a movie, just a movie. You know, nobody wants out sixteen dollars to sit there for two hours. It's a movie, it's a movie, it's a movie, it's a movie. The spirit in our mind, the Holy Spirit has a message for our mind. It's a movie. It's a movie, it's really a movie. And yet, we go there and we get all wrapped up with those images on that screen and those sounds that we're hearing through the body's ears. We get all twisted and contorted and if it's a seemingly scary movie, our hearts touch the palm. And if it's a happy, funny movie, we laugh and we laugh and we laugh. And it's a sad movie, we cry, lots of tears. And Jesus is like, hmm, hmm, hmm. Got it all wrong. His second lesson, he's got a workbook with 365 lessons, his second lesson out of 365, one for each day of the year, is I have given everything I see all the meaning it has for me. Who says it's a sad movie? My mind. Which is believing in the ego. Who says it's a happy movie? Who says it's a scary movie? I have given everything I see all the meaning it has for me. So your book, here's the master psychologist that's transcended all forms of dependency and lack. He is living in the abundance of Nirvana in the Kingdom of Heaven and he's saying lesson number one, nothing I see means anything. Ooh, what a nice one to start off with there. Go ahead and hit the home run on the first pitch. Gee, what's number two? I have given everything I see all the meaning it has for me. And it just goes on from there. It is a curriculum in undoing everything you think you think and everything you think you know. It sounds very Buddhist actually. Empty your mind of the contents of consciousness. It's like a Buddhist curriculum, but it's a curriculum in emptying the mind. Sometimes people have said to me, what do you do when you start to get upset? And how do you change your mind? Well, I went through the whole course of miracles workbook lessons multiple times, but actually some of the workbook lessons that I really liked to use is kind of like a little mechanism whenever I was stuck to get upset. They say, well, you really are stuck in ego. What did you do? And I said, I would use lessons five, six, seven, eight from Jesus' workbook, like a four combo, five, six, seven, eight. If you're going to hit the ego, hit them with five, six, seven, eight. Number five, I'm never upset for the reason I think. Ooh, talk about a showstopper. Then I'm upset because I see something that's not there. In psychology, we call that hallucination. That's what number six is. Oh, very good. I'm never upset, ever, ever upset for the reason I think. That's very humbling. I'm upset because I see something that's not there. Oh, that's good. You tell me I'm hallucinating. Thank you very much. And I'm upset. I see only the past as lesson number seven. I'm looking at the past. I'm just, all I'm doing is preceding the past. And the past is filled with the tactiles and judgments and grievances. If you've totally heard of Eckhart Tolle, you know, Eckhart Tolle the power of now, he's leading us into the present moment. He's not leading us into the past. He's leading it. Lesson number seven says, I see only the past. Then lesson number eight, my mind is preoccupied with past thoughts. So I'm living in the past. And I'm upset because I'm living in the past. And he goes on from there. My thoughts are from images I have made. I'm eating this. Thoughts are showing me I'm eating this world. I'm eating this world. And gender of fear. And the meaning of this world and gender of fear because I think I'm in competition with God. Oh my gosh. I woke up in the morning. I wasn't thinking that one. I wasn't thinking I'm in competition with God. Believe me when I woke up. I was not thinking that thought. But the mind training is saying, oh yeah, you have an unconscious belief system in which you are trying to compete with the creator and the source of everything. And you're trying to hold on to an identity and a world that God didn't create. And that's why you feel guilty. That's why you feel afraid. That's why you feel upset. That's why you feel distressed and uncomfortable. That's why you get annoyed and irritated is because underneath it all you're trying to maintain an identity that is real. Oh, that's pretty heavy. That's pretty fundamental. Let's talk about fundamental. But again, this is practical because if you had a being who will say that it's transcended time and space, it's transcended all the duality and it's just pure singular divine oneness, isn't it wonderful that that being loves you and cares for you so much it gives you a curriculum to work with, a textbook to learn truly what's going on in your mind. Thank you, God. Thank you for the owner's manual. I would have loved it earlier, but I'm happy. Okay, so the bottom is 53. Thank you for the owner's manual. That helps. If you've got a car that breaks down, isn't it good to have another's manual? You've got a mind that breaks down. Thank you for the owner's manual. And thank you for a curriculum that has a step-by-step mind training program that will lead me out of hell, not the burning fires of some internal hell, but out of perceptual hell, to a healed mind. Oh, a piece of mind. Thank you for that curriculum.
