 People you know when you get to a course of miracles it's so practical. You get to lesson 50 and he says Try this one on I am sustained by the love of God This world you believe you are sustained by pills like clothing protective clothing He says being liked knowing the right people money All kinds of things and and then he says you are sustained by the love of God and the love of God will lift you up In any circumstance and hold you safe What about insurance What about Prudent financial planning and stocks and bonds and maybe I don't put a ball in the stock market, but T-bills No, the love of God What about vaccinations? No, the love again in the lesson 76 really believe that you would starve Unless you had stacks piles and stacks of green paper strips and little metal discs You really believe that that fluid push through a sharpened needle Your veins would ward off disease You believe in the laws of economics. You believe in the laws of medicine. You believe in the laws of nutrition nutrition of course We know that organic is better than inorganic, right? Do we know Love of God will sustain you in every circumstance It's not what you put in your mouth that defiles is what precedes for from the heart So this is where these discussions and everything I share with people gets really really into the good little gritty stuff Because what it does is it shows you Really a human way everything that you believe about your life on this planet everything if you believe without exception about the human race about nutrition about money about Relationships about everything, you know, you get the feeling as you go along that you are like this little child It's like holding a hand up saying help me Help me. I need help and Jesus even comes on in the course and says you really believe that you have a contribution to make to the truth When you get deeper into it, you start to realize is that that what I'd rather be right or happy means Would I rather be right about the way that this world was set up? where there seems to be victimization and abuse and wars and disease and pestilence When I read it be right about interpersonal relationships, what is a good lover? What is a good husband wife? When I read it be right about the family structure about what's an ideal family when I read it be right about law When I read it be right about social and justice the belief that somehow there's a way to even the scales off in the world When the Course in Miracle says the only justice of heaven is you've got to forgive it all And this is where it really gets interesting because We've all been raised with these beliefs And I studied them for 10 years in college. I studied supply side economics I took a lot of next classes Conservatory of music philosophy chemistry calculus that I studied them all and in the end I had to make an admission That I was completely wrong about everything that I did not have one accurate opinion not even one People ask me today What is your opinion about it doesn't matter what they put after it I tell them I have no No, call it whatever you want. I Can't do that anymore Then they'll say things like well if you're not Making any opinions. You're still judging. You had to make a judgment to be here tonight It couldn't even come to this center Unless you were making a judgment and then we get into talking about discernment then we get into talking about Practical like the rules for decision in the Course in Miracles you were asking What's practical? Jesus says in the rules for decision section One number one rules for decision decide the kind of day you want And number two is say to yourself if I make no decisions by myself that this is the day that will begin It's like a one-tooth punch If you really are anchored in the kind of day you have to be joyful free Peaceful, whatever and you make no decisions by yourself Then you will have that kind of day And then the rest of the rules for decision Are as you get off the beam How to get back? But he does say in there Right, he does say in there it's harder to get back on once you're off So he focuses on one-two That's really put your effort on to one-two because once you get down there. I'm going to give you three four five six Make your way to get back, but it's gonna be a lot harder once you've judged Once you got that nine in a month Once you have an expectation that you're not going to let go of and you have in mind what you need to have a happy day that person to call That person to pay the money back that person to drop the charges that person to They they're sorry Once you have a condition in your mind expectation That somebody else or something in the world has to change You'll be happy The ego is sitting back in the mind going ha ha ha God either me ha ha like a little spider that's back in the web Catches a fly It's this back there Comes up to take a bite. That's what happens when you have an expectation And that's also why my life has been Inspired by Jesus who said freely you have received now freely get it It is my joy to give my attitude away Jesus wasn't so much a great philanthropist like Carnegie or something, but wow he gave away that joy And he gave it away. He flung those seeds everywhere went And to me that's that's really a part of what this is about when you're in a state of giving When you're in a state of giving without any concerns you receive anything back You are invulnerable. You are in a state of God awareness Nothing But you're not looking for anything To be different than it is, you know That's a workbook lesson that all things be exactly as they are and all we have to do is get one lesson Completely guess what shows over for the ego You may still see a world, but I'll tell you one thing The one that's looking on that world will not be judging that world That would be a forgiven world so
