 There's a part in the Course in Miracles where Jesus says an untrained mind can accomplish nothing And he also says at one point that you are much too tolerant of mind wandering So it's great. I always say give it to me straight Jesus if I'm Too tolerant of mind wandering if I've got compromise going on my life if I've got people pleasing if I'm avoiding something if I'm Trying to dance around something the prayer of the heart is Reveal this to me Exposed this to me How am I going to escape these ego games unless I get them brought to me sometimes like right into my nose? Like what we were talking about the break of the prayer Holy Spirit bring it on How he said be ready if you actually say those words with Holy Spirit because that's a wide open invitation to clear the mind I Even had a retreat I did in Spain on the island of New Yorker where it was a six-week retreat and I think somewhere around week four Somebody in the group threw their arms in the air and said bring it on Holy Spirit bring it on and then another one the whole group basically was throwing Their hands in the air and as loud as they could Could say the word was we're belting out Holy Spirit bring it on well that group Had quite a number of interesting experiences that came on we had somebody went Left in remission from cancer and all kinds of things that happened It was almost like a revival and then subsequently it's there's been all kinds of reverberations In people's lives after that But that's a good example about how the more willing we are the more open we are the more we can ask for help the more help can be given us and There's another part of the course where Jesus says it's not that you ask for too much You always ask for far too little That is this unworthiness this shame this guilt that we've held on to this Mostly unconscious that actually brings limits to our life experiences Where we're capable of huge openings of vast openings at times. It's like such a fear of Love and light. It's almost like holding up a little thimble with a shaky hand going Could I have a refill, please? Jesus is like saying yeah, get a bucket Get a bucket, you know, we're so Custom to thinking that we we just aren't worth That care and attention we may have all kinds of old programs running like oh god must be really busy He's not certainly doesn't care about me, but that's actually the opposite to what things really are There's all this love and light waiting to pour through our mind Waiting for us to be a conduit and yet we have to ask for it. We have to really prepare be prepared and ask for it
