 But let's just really zoom in to manifesting, I mean I'll tell Parable from back in the, I think it was the 1990s where I went to Michigan in the 1990s and I was giving a talk in Lansing and I gave the talk, usually we have a break in the middle, so in the break in the middle of the talk this lady came to me and she came up during the break and I was having a cup of tea or something and she said, she said I'm the manifesting lady and she said I can manifest anything, ask anyone here, I have manifested soul mates for people, houses, cars, boats, money, careers, I'm the manifesting lady and she said I can manifest anything. I said that's wonderful, that's absolutely wonderful, I said when we come back you I want you to share a lot of your manifesting stories with the whole group, it'll be very inspiring to this course group and then I'll take it from there. She said okay, that's great, so she came and she did the whole thing and she told me people were very impressed, they really wanted to have her as their counselor and teacher after her little spiel there for ten minutes on her manifesting, they're like okay, set that course aside there a minute, I think I got a date with destiny with the manifesting lady, but anyway after she took for a while then I started to quote from the song of prayer, some of you know the song of prayer and the ladder of prayer and the Jesus gave us and everything very well, well actually when you go up the ladder more and more it's less that you're asking for things, you can't help but ask for things when you believe in lack, that you can't help, it's just the way you ask, it's the way your prayer is, it's the prayer as you might say arrested down at the lower rungs where you're just asking for things and things can come, then you go more and more towards states of mind, but basically when we really get into healing I said it's great, all this manifesting stuff is really great but actually whenever you are manifesting you are asking for the past to be repeated in some way that you prefer thinking you know what you prefer, and at some point after you've manifested all these things it's made on you is the question what do I really want, do I want peace of mind, do I want peace everlasting, do I want peace eternal, you see there's nothing wrong with any of it, it's all just the power of the mind and the mind waking up to its own power and the manifesting is being used as those stepping stones by the Holy Spirit to show you that you are not a victim, that you are not helpless, that you are not powerless, but you have a very very very powerful mind which is what Abraham Hicks materials teach you and then you go up to the point where okay if I'm asking for the past to be repeated in some way that I prefer or some way that I like I'm still asking for the past to be repeated, I still want something from the past, I still believe the past offers me something and what does the Course in Miracles ultimately teach us? The past is gone, it can touch me not, the past is gone the future is but imagined, these concerns are but present defenses against the truth, against the present moment, their defenses, the past and future are actually defenses, why would you want to repeat a defense against the Holy Instant? You see how if you take it deep enough you go aha that sneaky ego, it was trying to have me settled with crumbs, crumbs from the past and when you really follow it out you know in the end peace of mind is more important than a new car, is more important than soul mates, it's more important than a new house or a million dollars or a billion dollars or trillion dollars or whatever you want to fill in winning the lottery on and on and on and on peace of mind is no small gift at all and we are so worthy.
