 In Jesus teaching us, I'm calling you out of the world, but does that even mean calling you out of the ego thinking of the world, or calling you out of the beliefs of the world? But remember the ego set it up, like in the Truman Show or like the movie we watched last night, that all the people are not whole. They're reflecting partial memories. And the goal is to wake up and know your true nature. Now how does that fit with responsibilities in the world? Well, the ego made them all up, and the Holy Spirit can use what the ego made, but the purpose of using what the ego made is to unwind you from guilt. You know, make no mistake that the Holy Spirit is completely devoted to innocence, divine innocence. And you can't, as we had in one of our earlier discussions, you can't both be divinely innocent and guilty. The world may teach you you can be guilty sometimes, and innocent sometimes, and the guilty ones go to prison and pay the penalties, and the innocent ones go and get stressed out at work. But one way or the other, you know, the ego's got, this is its system. So I've described it, it's almost like some people think of like buying into the ego belief system. It's like if you had a wall or a board and you hammered a nail into the wall, and that was getting sunk into the ego belief system, that you have to find a way to get the reverse side of the hammer and pull the nail out. Except it's not a nail, it's a screw. It's really tight, and you can't pull it out with a hammer, you know. It's drilled in there, it's oak, oak wood, and it's a big thick screw, and it's in there tight. And that involves a lot of responsibility, a lot of those turns of threads that really keep that bolt, that screw really in there tight into the oak, is because of all these pseudo responsibilities that were set up to keep you bound into guilt. Now you have a teaching like the Course that comes along and it says, well, the sole responsibility of the miracle worker, he says at one point, and then he says at another point, the sole responsibility of the Teacher of God is to accept the atonement for himself, to accept the correction, to accept the Holy Spirit's correction for error, to accept the Holy Spirit's correction for sin, to accept the Holy Spirit's correction for the ego, to accept the Holy Spirit's correction for the devil. It's not a small responsibility and it's for the Holy Universe. And you might say Jesus was the first metaphorically in time to accept the correction completely, absolutely completely. And it shouldn't be surprising that if he said be a good cheer for I have overcome the world, well, that's beautiful. If you could overcome the world, your chances are better that you're going to walk on water, raise the dead, perform miracles left and right and left and right, all kinds of things that seem very supernatural. Why is this guy so different than anyone else that he's doing all these supernatural things? Well, maybe it's the Son of God, maybe it's the Holy Christ, maybe this is not a human being that's at the mercy of the world that he sees is not real. Maybe he is in touch with the Father, so to speak, from the old Christian language. He's in touch with God and he's in the state of mind of the I am presence. He's in touch with before Abraham was I am. He's in touch with the Father and I are one. That's pretty strong, that's as deep as it goes in terms of alignment. And if you went to, let's say, a wedding party or, I don't know, they probably had their equivalent of bars, I don't think they had disco back then, 2000 years ago. But if you went to a meeting place or whatever and Jesus was there and you tried your typical meetup lines, how you're doing that, where are you from? It's going to be truthful, it's going to be heaven. And they're like, wait a minute, what's that? What are you talking about? Are you from Bethesda, are you from Bethlehem, where were you born? Heaven. I was born in heaven and I'm still there. And I'm going to always be there. If God is your Creator, God is your source and you have a heavenly source and you remain in heaven, it has to be so. You don't leave heaven, you can't really leave heaven. You can't leave your Creator. The ego would say you can, you have, but you can't. So what you start to realize is that the things that weigh so heavy, like taking care of relatives, taking care of mothers and fathers and children and aunts and uncles and all those different things, there's some causation issues underneath all that. The reason all these dream figures seem so important, more important than the rest of the seven billion, in fact, is because they've got some special things that have gone on. They've brought me into this world. Now, the ego brought you into this world. The dream figures didn't, and certainly God didn't. God didn't create this place. He didn't say, well, you're perfect, you're eternal, you're innocent, but have a go around there in time and space and see how it goes. God wouldn't send anybody to Earth. God didn't send you here. This kind of, like, these pretty little stories we get. I don't know what the happy little soul and, you know, God sent me on a mission into hell. Thank you, thank you. That's really great. Or I maybe take God out of it a little bit. Okay, I was a happy little soul. I'm looking around at all these planets in the cosmos. Where should I incarnate? Ooh, a little blue, a cute blue planet over there. I guess it's cute with all that blue and blue and white spots, little cloud spots. Isn't that cute? Let's zoom in there. Okay, yeah, yeah. That's Croatia. Let's go for Croatia this time. You don't even have the power to incarnate. It's a dream. It's a dream that you're here. It's a dream that you're dealing with all this stuff. But a dream is a dream is a dream. You know, the nursery rhyme says, row, row, row your boat gently down this stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream. No wonder there's so much merriment in that song because life is but a dream. When you take on the character and you take on all the aspects that come with it, you take on causation. How did that character get here? We now know that Egan projected it, you know. How did buildings get built? How did the twin towers get built? The ego projected it. How did the twin towers come down? It was part of the projection. Whose script is this we're dealing with? The egos. Is there a Holy Spirit script? No. No. There's not a Holy Spirit script. There's a Holy Spirit perspective that will show you the world simultaneously and show you that's all in your mind.
