 I just have a quick question in the course I think it's fairly early in the course it says that if one of us gets it that the whole illusion will end and we'll all be back with everything and so I'm wondering and I've always kind of wondered this I've been studying the course about ten years and it seems to me that Jesuit or Jesus or wherever and he you want to give him got it and other people possibly you know Gandhi might have gotten it and Mohammed and the other avatars that have shown up on the planet Buddha so why aren't why are we still okay let's go with that one that's a good one well people never get it because people are the mask so Jesus does have a line in the course where he says when I awoke you were with me but it's not like Jesus the man as if there was a man who had an enlightened mind or a person who had an enlightened mind that enlightenment is a state of being and a lot of us can relate to that except that to the ego it associates a person with the state so we say Jesus Christ you know or Jesus the Christ or we talk about Siddhartha Siddhartha okay temptations trials ha Buddha Buddha nature Buddha nature or you know Krishna you know there's the person the personality Mary Baker Eddie or Amma or all the different saints and mystics get associated with the mystical state but the mystical state really far transcends the mask and what seemed to be the personality self so you could say that like I've said many times over many years that people don't become enlightened that that's just a phrase theology or terminology that's used but but the idea that there are parts and one by one the parts are waking up is still a metaphor that that includes the fragmentation and the parts and the actual state is totally transcendent of the parts it's more than the whole is greater than the sum of the parts but the whole is real and the parts are not and so that's what the realization the recognition of enlightenment about another way to say it is that fragmented perception becomes whole or unified and so you see the big picture that's literally beyond the parts you the cracked mirror suddenly is not cracked anymore it's it's unified it's smooth it's clear it's whole and quantum physics is is really good the more people open up and start setting quantum physics they go whoa this is radical it's just as radical as the teachings in the course because in quantum physics the teaching is that there is there is no world apart from consciousness or there is no world apart from what you think Jesus says the same thing in in lesson 132 there is no world apart from what you think there is no world even puts in there with an exclamation point but he's it's all training the mind to see everything in a unified way in quantum physics they have a principle called entanglement and that's the cute way that the scientists are describing connectivity what they call entanglement which doesn't sound good from a like a relationship standpoint kind of codependent everything but no the scientists use entanglement to say that everything is absolutely connected that everything in all of the cosmos and all of time and space is absolutely connected and there is no space or distance between everything it's all absolutely connected that's describing again that state where when one awakes everything awakes because becoming aware of that connectivity is what the enlightenment's about so only from a time perspective of thinking that there's certain ones that woke up and then another one woke up it seems like it's going at a snail's pace over these last 2,000 years it's like okay how many enlightened beings do we got you know it's how many billions do we have you know it seems like it's going to take millions and millions of years before there's not one separate one walking alone but actually the good news is it's it's just one tweak of mind one atonement shift of mind that brings the mind into the awareness of the complete oneness and connectivity of everything in perception and then the experience of that it's like whatever you had an amnesia of like of spirit you start to have an awareness of that in an amnesia of the fragmentation so some of you heard our speaker talk there is no armel which which really starts to become an expansive experience which is so vast and so still that that you start to really not relate to anything else you just kind of get in the tractor beam of this new unified experience and you yield into it and you give way to it and it becomes your consistent experience and from this consistent experience will say the Holy Spirit can still use words from this still quiet peaceful experience words can still be used sometimes sometimes not but that's the beauty of it you know it's involuntary it's it's really up to the Spirit thank you okay thanks it's actually a funny thing I just had the thought that it's funny every time I come down here it's silent no words are coming and when I'm up here from time to time they are words coming instead of stage fright she's having stage peace
