 Yes, it's It's reminding me of that parable that I've told many times My friend Axel who was guided to go Towards the Twin Towers after they had come down And how he Was inspired to walk to ground zero In a miraculous state of mind And he got closer and closer This was probably less than two weeks after the event And He came upon a Japanese man in a wearing a compliant suit And the Japanese man was had his head bowed he was shaking his head and just saying so sad so so sad And my friend Axel told me except for just this just an instant He had the thought passed through his mind What if my happiness and joy Could be an offense to this man This is the smallest fleeting thought going through his mind But as soon as Axel had this thought He felt the heat the dust going up his nostrils He smelled the smells of decaying bodies Suddenly the whole situation that was surrounding him took on our reality Just From one thought I wonder if my joy could be an offense to this man So in a course of miracles Jesus tells us that One of the most difficult Ideas to grasp is true empathy Because if defilement would be possible for one person it would mean that there is no God If defilement like defile I Yeah, it runs that deep And and we could say mistreatment of any degree We mean that there is no God Because again God is source and perfect And everything that is real and true comes from God And so Anything that we think or believe or perceive That denies the all-powerfulness of God Is a temptation And that's what it was for my friend Axel it was a tempting thought And so we are given circumstances that allow us to to align with the light And the situation can be involving a family member or a loved one Just as a very strong opportunity to choose again I think also when we talk about the death of a loved one It reminds me of what Jesus says in a course of miracles He says you have many strange beliefs But perhaps the strangest of all your beliefs Is that you can lose the ones that you love It is so different than heaven Where loss is impossible So different from the idea that there are angels surrounding us Encouraging us to remember to laugh at illusions Because once one illusion is taken as serious Then all the rest must follow Yeah, just like when they say that the devil is Legion Really it's just one tiny thought But if we give the power of our Christ mind to that one tiny thought We seem to have a legion of illusions we must face A legion of illusions that we must face
