 The fastest way to God is a combination of silence every day, a spiritual practice of silence, and holy relationship, a relationship that's given over to the purpose of exposing and uncovering the ego. That's like a double stirring of the hornet's nest. The bees will come out and they'll be ready to attack something, bite something because it's like, you know, that really stirs it up. That's like spraying can of rain or some kind of thing right into the hornet's nest saying, okay, you're not going to stay in the safe haven of the body in the past. You've got to come out and you've got to face all this stuff to come through it. So that's why I think on this journey, in practical terms, that will bring you through the darkness to the light because so much unconscious beliefs and so many unconscious judgments are flushed up immediately in that context. And the other part of that is by holy relationship I understand that I'm in holy relationship with everyone. So it's not a sexual relationship or an intimate relationship necessarily. It's seeing the Christ in another. And I'm just wondering, I think the question was, by those two practices, stillness, being in holy relationship, going back to the story you shared about the woman who did the hypnosis, if she had that unconscious rage toward man and her ex-husband, if she was practicing stillness and being in holy relationship with every person she came across, would there be a need for her to go through the darkness of that unconscious stuff? Because to me it's not real anyway. So will it still come out to be worked through or will it kind of dissolve like mist in the sun because you are in the stillness, you are in holy relationship? Yeah. This is a pathway of going through the darkness to the light. So you might say that pain and suffering are unnecessary because they're totally optional. It's possible to be so willing that you open up to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and you tune into that and then you are guided specifically what to say, what to do, where to go, and just getting engulfed in the joy. That's always there. When people seem to have issues around, we'll say for her it was men or her ex-husband, this or that, whatever the issue seems to be, it's a bit of a clue of how the Holy Spirit will work with you. So if you have these kind of issues, you know, you shouldn't be surprised. In her case is if man starts showing up or men start showing up in her life. I remember in the parable of David that I was so shy all the way through childhood and all the way through high school and into university. And when I finally, I didn't go on a date with a woman until I was 27 years old. And so the Holy Spirit had a little tactic for that. When I made it to graduate school, when I was 27 years old, my first date was with one of the women in the graduate program. And interesting numbers, the way that the numbers came down was there was, it was a real prestigious program, very elite, we were all full scholarship. And there was eight of us total. And there was one male, David, and seven females. So you see how the Holy Spirit says, we can work through this issue. You seem to have with women, we'll just stack the deck, you know, graduate school, where you have all the pressures of, you know, papers and committees and I was a teaching assistant in this and this. It was like, yeah, we'll just stack the deck that way. And so it was just a way of starting for me to loosen up from any kind of judgments, charges, beliefs, feelings, you know, working through it all. And so typically the Holy Spirit will do that. Even when you have like a certain insight of something like, uh-oh, this is something that's an issue for me, usually the Holy Spirit will move quickly into action and you'll get an opportunity to move into the experience that you want by moving through something, by putting it into practice right away. I found that that's like a method of operation. I came back from Victoria, the country of Victoria to Sydney and the suburb of Chatswood and after 25 years it had turned into what they call Chatswood because all the Chinese had infiltrated Chatswood. And I came back to live with my mother and I thought, well, out of the country, I'm back in this big city, I'm going down to a nice coffee shop and enjoy the city life. Anyway, I went down to Chatswood shopping centre and I thought, they took over my country. They took over Sydney. There were Chinese everywhere. I had a big set on Chinese. So anyway, then I didn't have a house or any money only about living and marriage and then they actually had enough in their life to buy this beautiful four-storey terrace, which had been in this village and of course, went to move into the village. Every single person in my street was Chinese. Every single person. The deck was stacked. Every single person. Are they still there? No, they're still there, but we've come to love Chinese because after that, Tina's business took us to China and we went to Low Woo and we did the factories and we went to dinner and ate dogs and cats with them. And then we tried nothing. There was no right snake at everything. So the whole world conspired on me and even Tina's business became main in China all just because the Holy Spirit said, yeah, you've got a set on Chinese. Everything you've been doing is Chinese. My airline took me to Hong Kong all the time. I was just like, everywhere I went, everything was Chinese, Chinese, Chinese. The Chinese are a little bit Chinese. It's been a little Chinese now. Dogs and cats have become quite delicious. I think you will find that it doesn't matter what the charge of the grievances that the Holy Spirit will use whatever symbols that you believe in to reach you. So the chances are if you had a major grievance like my friend did against men and their ex-husband, the Holy Spirit would use those symbols to loosen that charge and bring the mind into a place of peace and non-judgment. When I was much younger, I was in, I think I was in junior high school when I tried out for the football team and I had to go to get a physical and they discovered I had a, the body of David had a hernia and so had to go in for, at one point of my young adulthood, tonsillectomy and one point for a hernia operation. And each time the hospital was a strange place. Like every time I, when I was younger, they would take me to a funeral home. I would be like, ooh, what is this? This is a weird feeling watching a dead person. There, you know, you would have all those feelings come up as a child going to funeral homes. When I would go to a hospital, they would go to prick my fingers and there was something about blood. Blood that I identified as my blood being drawn out, ooh, I would faint. So this happened a couple different times and then when I got older, I was into the course of miracles and had a friend who was into yoga nanda and create yoga and whatever and he said, we were living quite simple at the time and playing tennis and working on our mind training and he said that there's a study for vegetarians, which I was identified at the time and they'll prick your, they'll take blood as part of this study. You go into the hospital progressively over and over and over and then we get paid some money at the end and immediately I knew, okay, this is the Holy Spirit again. Only the Holy Spirit sets up for somebody who faints at the sight of blood a hospital kind of visit where you go and they have to take it increasingly over and over and over even to the point near the end where they were having trouble finding a vein it looked like a junkie. This is like somebody who's never done drugs, never done alcohol, smoked or whatever and I look at my arm like, oh my, what have I done here? But it was a really good undoing of that association that I had in my mind around blood. That one, the Holy Spirit popped me through that in a major way. So it's good. You realize this when things happen that we don't try to run away from these experiences but we say, okay, you're coming to Chinese and let's get about this forgiveness lesson here.
