 Spirituality has to be philosophies, and psychologies, and spiritualities, and theologies. And I think I have the same feeling that a lot of people have. It's like, enough with the theologies. We don't really need another theology. We are opening to an experience, not to a theology. We don't need to get into comparative theology, or comparing and contrasting things. I mean, you know, we can take the so-called versions of the Course, and they say, you know, it's about the heretics, the human, Casey, and then the published course. And we have the, you know, Radha that came, you know, some corrections to the first edition. And it's like, oh my, it's almost like Christianity. Here we go. We're comparing, contrasting, you know, the fancy scrolls, we got the Gospel of Thomas, you know, and it sounds more like daily mythology or something. You know, it's like, we're here to have an experience. And the Course doesn't say that the theology will come to end your doubting. In the clarification of the turner, Jesus says, an experience will come to end your doubting. But it also says back there that, you know, a universal theology is impossible. But, you know, a universal experience is, you know, because life and love and joy have an experience. It's not a concept. It's not a theology. There is one concept that's helpful, and that's forgiveness. It's still a concept. In heaven, there are no concepts. So in heaven, there's no thought of forgiveness because there's nothing to forgive. You know, I remember the first time I read that in the Course, God does not forgive, for he has never condemned. There must be condemnation first before forgiveness is necessary. How beautiful to read a book that tells you God does not forgive. How wonderful. Talk about going beyond theologies. There's one of his pamphlets where Jesus says, Believe in God is unnecessary. For God can be but known. Believe in God is unnecessary. You start to look at some of these ideas. They're so spectacular. Believe in God is unnecessary. For God can be but known. God does not forgive, for he has never condemned. Don't usually hear these from the pulpit. I came a couple of years ago to Canada to Edmonton to a, I believe it was a religious science church. It was a new thought church. I think before I came they were doing a 10 day or 10 week study of the Buddha. I know that you're going to come to a church just doing a study of the Buddha. It seems pretty progressive, hope reminded. Christian church doing a discourse on the Buddha. I went there, I had some people traveling with me that are very deep, very devoted. Very much open to living the presence of this and they wanted me to speak at the service. I spoke at the service and I put a group of chairs up here and we had the people that were traveling with me. We just sat up there, we took microphones and I remember launching into the discussion on the day of Edmonton and I probably was only 15 minutes into the discussion and a lady in the front row raised her hand and she said, you have nothing good to say about the ego. I was just sitting there for 15 minutes and then I remember one positive thing came out of her mouth about the ego. What's going on here? I always get the noise very low in the glass. I sit on her and see what comes up. I took a little sit like that and I looked at her and she was sitting in the front row. I said, the ego wants you dead. It's a death wish. You can't paint rosy red lips on skeletons. There's no way to dress up a death wish. People talk about the power of positive thinking and if God is love and God loves everything and God loves the ego and all this stuff, then please, let's talk from the heart. It really gets to the core of the matter. It's the belief in separation from God. Is it the attempt? It's not a reality, but it's the attempt to deny love. It's the attempt to say that there's something more than love. It's really what it is. That's what the belief is. There's something more than everything. That's how it's served. And it is more than everything. What if there could be more than everything? That's how it's served. It's a death wish. It's a death wish. Anyway, I just let her work that day over in Edmonton, and a few people walked out of the church. Basically, I was teaching this. It's an experience. You don't need churches. You don't need theologies. I had a great time. I was there for three or four hours and we enjoyed letting her rip, and I had a smile on my face. Truth is really not popular in this world. The ego made up this world. The ego made up the churches and all these theologies, and when you let the small still voice just beam and shine, I'm really not into numbers. When people say, I don't know if I'm good enough for people there to show up to support your talk, I'm really not into numbers. When you live on divine providence, you stay in a joy at the moment and you don't have a debit or a credit or you don't have concerns because everything is in the divine order. It's always perfect. Jesus says, you cannot help but be at the right place at the right time. You cannot but be at the right place at the right time, and there are no accidents in this world. So the present moment and the presence of God really doesn't have anything to do with numbers or quantitative things. It's a purely qualitative experience and it's just like you can feel totally connected to God regardless of where the body seems to be whether you have one person with you or a thousand or a million and the same you could be out walking in nature feeling totally connected with God that loneliness has nothing to do with bodies, emptiness has nothing to do with bodies and union with God has nothing to do with bodies. It's purely a state of mind. Just like Jesus says, sickness, all illness is mental illness. He means it. Illness is just an egoic illusion. It's just a mental distortion. That's all it is. Actually, illness has nothing to do with the body. It takes a lot of mind training to start to come to that awareness that illness has nothing to do with the body. That death has nothing to do with the body. Again, all questions about the world of form imply that death has something to do with the form, but we have to come back to the death wish. Everything is mind. In fact, if you keep working with Course in Miracles or any authentic spiritual journey, you will find that all is mind. That there is nothing but mind. There is no such thing as manifestation. There is no manifestation because all is mind. Basically, Jesus will call the ego wishful thinking in a sense that it's a wish to be separate from God. It's really what the belief is. It's just a wish to be separate. You might say that forgiveness is a wish to be healed. Sounds like Merlin. It can be my mom. I don't want that death wish anymore. I'll have a healing wish. I'll get my pixie to stop them. In Peter Pan, I really had a healing wish. Really, that's what forgiveness is. It's a healing wish. The ego is death wish. Really, the question always comes down to what do you want? What do you want?
