 it's all, you have to take 100% responsibility for state of mind. But there is a lesson in the Course 136, sickness is a defense against the truth. And in there, he talks about, he's talking about how like defenses are like these little magic wands that you wave. And then he even uses the term, the phrase, a quick forgetting. So in other words, that's, he's describing the whole dynamics that you're talking about right there in lesson 136, where it's like the mind makes up this whole scenario, the symptoms and whatever, and then forgets that it did it, and then projects out, the ego projects out the cause into something in the world. As if, you know, the pain, the discomfort, the symptom had to come from something in the world. Like sunburn coming from, you know, the radiation from the sun's rays. See how that's carefully now we got the sun to blame, you know, just a bunch of gases burning in the sky. That damn sunburn, that damn sun is burning me. Like, you know, this is, it's always got to be something outside, you know, that's doing something. It's just a bunch of burning gases. And it's like, oh, I gotta wear those protective movie things and protective wear sun hats and all these things. I remember one time I went to Argentina and I went down there and I was going to all these gatherings and I went to the swimming pool, the swimming pool. So I went out and I just got on one of these floating devices and just, just laying out there, just, just meditating and, you know, just out there, just meditating, meditating. Well, my friend Maria Cristina, you are her daughter, Florencia, came out and she was just started screaming at me in the pool. She was just like going, David, David, get out of the pool, get out of the pool. You thought there was like shark or something. She was screaming 30 years old, very passionate, get out of the pool, get out of the pool. And I just kind of looked at her and she's like, the sun, the sun. You don't know, you don't know how it is down here and, you know, and it's just complaining. And she just was screaming and screaming, screaming. And I mean, I was just like, oh, finally I just started going, started blowing kisses. It's not she was like, no. But that was the first of many interactions with her, you know, where it was just like I was there just to be happy, joyful, and pretty much just showing that I'm unaffected by these things in the world. When I went to New Zealand the first time too, Kirsten, they took me to a beach to do teachings like Jesus, the teachings, you know, on the boat or on the beach. They took me to one of these beaches and they went out there and I was teaching like from like, I don't know, for hours. I just stood out there on the beach and teaching and teaching. And they were watching the body start to turn deep shades of red. I guess it was probably like watching a piece of bacon cry on the beach or something like this. And the funny thing was, it was a big crowd, half of them were were like saying, should we tell him what's happening? And then the other half were going, he's a mystic. No, we're not, we're trying to pay attention to the teachings and not get distracted by the this frying. But again, to me it was just, it was like color. I was like, I had a great time. I just was loved sharing the joy in everything and the shade changed from like white to red. But I didn't feel, I didn't feel any discomfort with it. That was probably part of the teaching, that there's nothing outside of you that can hurt you. You know, it's all thought. That's what the Course teaches. I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts. So it's when people get so concerned about food, I've kind of been like, let's get Mikey guy and the little commercial, you know, he'll eat anything. Sometimes they'll, I remember once at the Peace House, it was like, they got some of this milk out, you were talking about the inflection point. They got this milk out, one person went, and then they got the other person and then another one did. And then so they just, they just left it on the counter. And so I came out and I, they just like, they watched me pour the milk and then I was like, it's just kind of out of pattern kind of experience. But you do, you get more and more into it. Like, I don't, I mean, the stuff you were talking about, I don't, see, I don't believe in it. So it just was words to me, bacteria and inflection rates and this and this and this. It's like, it's just like props to me. I lived in a hermitage one time in the woods in Michigan, and I was up there, you know, just living up there and everything. And my friend Thomas came up and this was like my second hermitage. So I guess years before I had taken like canned food down to this hermitage that I had in Kentucky. And I just had it there and I was down there for quite a while. And then when I got to move to Michigan, I thought, oh, another hermitage. I'll take the food along. So I brought the cans up there and Thomas came there. He was in, he was going through my cupboards, I guess, up there, which, you know, I didn't even eat hardly at all, but I was like, had all these cans and he went in there one day and he started looking at the expiration dates on the can. And he was like, Oh my God, this is like years old. You've got this, this old stale corn or peas. And I'm like, I mean, I can't believe in this stuff. Stale food. Who made the stuff up stale food? You know, it's like, it's food. It's a can of food in there. And he's like, he's throwing out, he's just pitching out all these, but you just started to have fun with it because, because again, it's just concepts, you know, we don't have to take all of these concepts so seriously. And obviously things like nutrition and all this stuff, you know, people really, you know, think I'll put a lot of faith in all that stuff. And then you start to see it. So Jesus said 2000 years ago, it's not what you put in your mouth that defiles. You know, his whole teaching was on purification, on the inside. Purify your mind, purify your thoughts, purify your consciousness. And, and I think that's just a real practical teaching that when you really start to get into this, you know, you start to see that it's all a state of mind and that everything you think and believe and feel and perceive is, is all connected based on what's going on within. And then in the end, more you start to have this experience that there is no within and without, even you don't, you don't start seeing the world as out there. You start to realize that, yeah, ideas leave out their source and the world is in your mind where it's always been. And then the world is benign. Then the world is, is a friendly world. If you have a friendly mind and the world is in your mind, then you have a friendly world. It's just common divine logic. But it's just, it takes, that's why we have A Course in Miracles. It's just a mind training tool to take us inward into that state of mind. And it works. So that's good news. And we rejoice together. We laugh together, you know. We play together. That's natural, you know, like I call it like a sample. It's all just props. Like when you go to a theater, you know, it's the props that are on the stage. They're just props, you know. They aren't real things. It's like just props that are getting used in a relaxing way as a backdrop for mind training. And that's all they're for. You know, they're not for anything else other than mind training. And the props that are part of the plans that speak are given. They don't come through much struggle or fighting or, you know, trying to make things happen. It's more just like, oh, it is given. Thank you. Oh, it is given. Thank you. That's a nice way to live your life. It is given. Thank you, you know. Can it be that simple? It is given. Thank you. Yes. That's the way it goes, you know, when you just surrender. So it's fun too. You know, it's meant to be fun.
