 Beyond the body, and the body is a limit imposed on the universal communication that is an eternal property of mind But the communication is internal mind reaches to itself It does not go out within itself. It has no limits and there is nothing outside it It is it encompasses you entirely you within it and it within you there is nothing else Anywhere or nothing. Did you skip a sentence? There's a lot more in the new book Yeah, they put a whole other sentence in there. There's a few more sentences. Oh, well, please tell us a little bit. Yet only thus can you escape the home of vengeance is not yours The place you set aside to house your hate is not a prison, but an illusion of yourself The body is a limit imposed on the universal communication that is an eternal property of mind But the communication is internal mind reaches to itself It is not made up not in italics made up of different parts which reached each other It does not go out Within itself. It has no limits and there is nothing outside it It encompasses everything it encompasses you entirely you within it and it within you There is nothing else anywhere or ever And I think with that I mean that's kind of like giving us a sense of mind and then the very next sentence in contrast it with The body the body is outside you and but seems to surround you shutting you off from others and keeping you apart from It is not there It paints this picture of the mind and then kind of like on the surface of the mind We know we're all the projections are we're all the attack thoughts and the projections are like way on the outside And he's saying the body is outside But through the experience of the seed mind it seems to be wrapped around You know it seems to be like consciousness is somewhere like in the mind in the head looking out through these eyes or you know different people have different experiences Tell me again, what is because I mean, yeah So what is the real? What's the real story about the brain and the mind stuff? I mean well, I know that the real story is That the mind is really not crying, I mean Not the brain is not in the brain is not in the body It said I think the best analogy is the course shoes over and over is that the dream or the dream? We were watching a movie the other day and Beverly went she said I was just reading the course And I just got something I never got before she said I used to think of the script and everything was all these other people and things out there But I always didn't include this In it and she said but this is on out there too kind of like you know I mean that that to me is the best analogy of the mind in the sense of the dreamer of a dream is watching all the characters including This is good. Yeah losing this character on the screen The mind is tell me again what you just read that it was telling us the mind is It has no reference point in this world. It does not go out Another way you can think about it is mind is so expansive that there's no limit it's just But that everywhere or place even when we ask the question where is it the place is a concept And so we could say that place is a concept in the split mind that only only a split mind only the seed Mind could ever have such a crazy idea You start using shorter sentences You say It defines location It says here his kingdom has no limit This is in chapter 16 his kingdom has no limits and no end and there is nothing in him That is not perfect and eternal all this is you Italicized and nothing outside of this is you and somewhere else. It says that there is nothing outside of you And here it says the body is outside of you and obviously that means the body is nothing because there is nothing outside of us Even the body is not outside of us. There's nothing outside. We're Just like I can We're having this nightmare We've got this edge of sketch and we're sitting there drawing these All this one gets burned out in the car right? Oh, no, you know, this one does this to this with all you dirty rat You know what's going on, but it's just asking the guilt that we're feeling guilty because we think that you could get away from God And we're just playing with this, you know until We can get not really playing with having a slight like that until we can Just take our hands away from the controls. He said I didn't do it We're just Just reading the section and of course today called the basis of the dream and basically, you know We're talking about nighttime dreams and daytime dreams and you know, they're just different in form but basically was saying you assign The script so you assign the roles to everybody to all the parts, you know That everyone seems to play and that meaning that transfers later on in the sections here are the dream and dreamer the dream, too And that's what we've done in a sense That's part of that's when the script was written that all the parts were assigned And and everybody's playing the part that's the problem of it is assigning the roles Because every time we hate somebody we believe that they are not fulfilling the role the way we want The role to be fulfilled whether it's in a relationship whether it's in a work situation, you know That's not the way you're not supposed to do that here, you know or Yeah It wasn't safer, you know in a sense, of course is saying that that really in a metaphor for the role that they have is they're always our savior You know When it's a different role like no, you're my daughter or you're my wife or my husband or my boss and you are Supposed to act this way. You're supposed to Give me a certain thing, you know The mind it's like when it the reason it produced all these forms everything is it's trying it's still trying to use Relationships to the seedmind to take vengeance out for the past. It really believes that it was deprived In the past and it believes and therefore attracted to persons and situations that It's that attraction to guilt where where These are people that I want to fulfill Rolls and needs that I was deprived of in the past and it never works, you know The whole deprivation is a skin But it's like as long as we set people up to be God substitutes and we have all these expectations to try to To fulfill these roles and expectations of course there's going to be fury and anger when Well, it's just like another of the myriad ways of making sure folks sure that we stay in ego In other words the ego is one nasty decision just one and there's just so many ways that we stay attracted to staying in that thought Because of our belief that we are the ego and the fear that loves since we are the ego will swallow us up which is just The ego is an illusion. It's a fear of thought But the only thing what the ego does to get a better awareness of it is it tries to weaken you, okay, either by separation or my Trying to convince you that you are weak or no good Okay, because without that thought you would remember who you are So that's the purpose behind everything even if you See thoughts that are going on or seem to be going on all the time everything With the ego is trying to weaken you or separate you And so if you're just getting into this good identification to see well what those particular thoughts are trying to do It's either we can you a separate and that's what it seems to have done Yeah, it's it's scary. It's like bringing it down to you know my experience is like It's scary to be joyful Because you know, I suddenly was thinking today about how I really wasn't very fond of that be happy guy What Yeah, no Not the song. There's a there's a guy who's in the course circles who has this thing called be happy. It's a program Dr. Happy Dr. Happiness. Yeah, that's Kelly Steinsen. No, it's a different guy But anyway, I was just thinking well, that's it. I mean, I'm scared to be happy. I am attracted to misery You know, it's starting to change a little bit, but it's like once we're happy It's like hold it. What are you doing happy? What are you doing joyful at a piece? You need to stay miserable because that's reality as soon as you get happy Somebody's gonna come along and it's gonna burst your bubble and then who's gonna be the fool to me That demonstrates an attraction of pain It's almost like to You have to to disdain from the part from the ego you have to have a sense of what how does the ego think? I mean, that's why I see all these sections on the laws of chaos and so on so forth or Jesus is like This is what you believe you believe this you believe this you believe this you believe this You know, you may laugh at me and say this is ridiculous, but brother The reason the ground is Solid is because you believe me brother. You do believe these he kind of says at one point, you know but it's like The forms there's so many myriads of forms that that seem to obscure the content or just the basic the way that the ego is thinking Or if you're saying separate or weaken the ego, you know It's like all these forms try to make it to be this mirage of complexity to keep obscure these basic Ways of thinking and as soon as we can get in touch with these basic Backwards I call ways of thinking, you know, which is what the ego is then We can tease tease out or we can actually start to feel a sense of something that's apart from these thoughts Because while they're swirling in our minds and we feel, you know, we feel the feelings and we think the thoughts, you know There's such a still strong belief that the thoughts are really real And they're my thoughts And Jesus saying no Those are outside you those aren't Who you are I think when you talk about doctor happiness to remind me of this section in the course called the immediacy of salvation And one of those lines in there that really gets me every time I read it is, you know, be not content with future happiness Well, it's the time, you know, the white people figure. I'm on a spiritual journey. I'm glad I have a course in miracles now I'm certainly not there now But another year maybe another ten years maybe another set the lifetimes or ten lifetimes or so You know, it's like and then you get a sense like be not content with future happiness, you know, but don't okay now don't project This out into the future don't project the salvation even Just another excuse for happy and happy right for right now, right? And you start to say oh because that seems such a widely Accepted like we're on a journey. We're all gonna make it But it's like I like those sections cuz he just says Like you weren't you weren't deprived in the past if you're feeling upset. It's a present decision It has nothing at all to do with anything that seemed to happen in the past is everything to do with your interpretation right now right now and Also, don't project your worry and your anxiety Often to the events that you're afraid are going to happen in the future that you don't like Bring it back. It's a present decision right now And he says you really believe that there's a gap Between the time that you forgive at the time that you'll receive the gifts of forgiveness It's like that's the gap that you're talking about the fear of the mind And if I totally if I look if I probably use Jesus, you know, the Rage of the world is gonna rest on me. There'll be chaos. There'll be chaos because You know, this is the way I've survived This is the way I function and you're telling me to be totally defenseless, you know, I know a lot people said you know Do you know about this place defense in this place? But it's like yeah, that's the whole Just totally Made possible about the idea that I could receive the benefits. There could be a space of time Yeah, right you work you work all year. The only thing that you're looking forward to is Sitting on a beast in the Bahamas, okay, and that's where you put your happiness Okay, the whole year. That's what you've got in your mind two weeks in the Bahamas I go through this because I have And and there you are you're miserable for 50 weeks, okay Who knows what happens with your two weeks long as it may rain may have a hurricane, but there you are In that movie The whole movie It's kind of wrapped up and it's about I'm trying to see if I can tell it without Anyway, the whole movie is about special relations
