 And salvation is a term too that people can have a lot of connotations with it because a lot of times the ego is teaching over the past 2,000 years and more of salvation has been You have to pay a price for it Yeah, you have to earn it and so on and so forth and the courses is really getting away Salvation you could think of a correction of correction of error or a tongue for prayer or a term that a lot of people Can relate to is healing I mean the purpose of life is healing if you're not having a total sense of bliss and happiness And you're not having that high flatline. We're talking about them to say hey, I'm worth more than this, you know these periods and everything and There seems to be a problem and there needs to be a solution a salvation a healing a reparation That needs to take place and it's nice to be reminded again, of course that it's not Behavioral change that's being asked that if you change your mind you will have a change of Behavior that will come you have a different attitude that and your behavior will flow from That that change in everything, you know, so we're just going to focus a lot on tracing it back and looking at the mind Because that's where the healing takes place Even with reparation or healing a lot of times people will think well It's it really is that you were saying how do you define the problem or what is the problem? The ego has defined the problem in terms of the screen in other words You mentioned the word sickness and the things that come to mind a lot of times are Aids cancer blue cold, you know severed limbs and Art attacks and let's roll Yeah, it's different. That's the tightness and not you know, it's just a whole barrage of Images come to mind when you mention the term sickness and Jesus right away. It says here's my definition of sickness Not right mindedness. He says His sickness. Oh Back to that that ego Not right mindedness sickness and how this Jesus to find health does he define it in terms of muscle time Does he define it in terms of cardiovascular fitness of pulse rate? And use that word use again that would get back to purpose to use The function the utility or something is the purpose you have for and that's again at the mind level So he doesn't define it in terms of any of those things a healthy body to Jesus Makes no sense Doesn't make sense. It's just as funny as a sick body Now that takes a while immediately that can seem a little disorienting because it could be like no I don't want to get into denial here or lose my touch lose my grounding or whatever but but If we're talking about everything in terms of black and white thinking or all or nothing or right mindedness and wrong mindedness In those terms it makes sense that the sickness would be the wrong-mindedness and the health would be right-mindedness Right and nothing else And it's again, it's simple. It's simplified, but We haven't we all felt that at some point if there is such a thing as truth Why would it be so complex? Why wouldn't it be accessible Available and simple Why was it is it gonna have to be something this synthetic thing that you've got to just Have a college degree Enormous education all these variables get everything just right because it's the right combination. Why not something that's real simple so to talk about the ego is the false belief the belief in separation you can say that it's a fragmenting belief and What what a fragmenting belief does is it fragments? It multiplies it just seems to multiply and multiply so now we have the belief in separation And then we could talk about the belief in time Heaven is eternity. There is no time in eternity Heaven doesn't have increments and degrees and intervals Heaven is oneness. There aren't any gradations or intervals of degrees in heaven. So we have time we have space we have Seeming different realms You know you could talk about the the cosmos you could talk about the intergalactic realms solar system realms Planetary you could talk about atmospheric Realms just around the earth and then when you come down you could talk about Global national regional Community Neighborhood Realms within the home. We've got rooms within the home We've got bedrooms and living rooms and dining rooms and basements and let's take it closer down We have we have realms within one room, you know There seems to be different realms different spaces in one room then we bring it down to The personal interpersonal skills you hear all this stuff about how is your how your interpersonal skills? There's interpersonal then we bring it down. Where's my little drawing of our little person here? My god, there's even realms In in the person and you could say there's mental realms emotional realms thoughts beliefs desires Then oh wait a minute the body we have to talk about the body. There seems to be systems You know you study nursing there's all the different there's a respiratory system and the cardiovascular system Nervous system and they all seem to interact and what's smaller that well We have little organs here and then there are systems within the organs and then we get down to the Cellular levels or my neck molecular levels down to the atomic levels and Then we can talk about the subatomic levels the particles that quantum physicists are studying You know my galley that just seems to be all kinds of Realms and levels and Fragments and the good thing about it is what what the course is teaching us is that all of those realms and levels are down perceived to be down here on the screen You know They're talked about in terms of the screen It seems to be they're all perceptual levels they all involve this perception or degrees and gradations and What we want to do is we want to see that that what produced the world down here the screen are The ego belief in other words, there's the original belief in separation from God And then all the belief system that seemed to spring from the ego all the beliefs that seem to come from it Are all part of the ego belief system? So not only the ego but all the beliefs that sprang from the ego are part of that film in our projector analogy We really have to take good close look at the film. That's what we're going to be doing is really just examining the film and I could seem kind of Can't seem a little bit of a debate So maybe we can publish Radloff's son that Jesus gives from the course That seemed to be some of these specific beliefs that are involved in the ego belief system So it's from lesson 76. He says you really Think that you would starve unless you have stacks of green paper strips and piles of metal bits Well, there's obviously a pretty strong belief there in money Even he calls it green paper strips and piles of metal bits You really think a small round pellet or some fluid pushed into your veins through a sharpened needle Will ward off disease and death Yep, that's what the whole idea of getting your immunization shots are about Word off disease. Why would why would anyone ever get a shot? A flu shot or any kind of a shot unless it was the word off disease That's a belief. He says you really think you are alone unless another body is with you Companionship Seems to be the case at times. There's a belief. Oh if I just had someone Here someone to share my life with some body But it's somebody here He says it isn't sanity that thinks these things Sanity is the ego that he's just saying that those are all ego beliefs You call them laws and put them under different names in a long catalog of ritual that have no use and serve no purpose You think you must have made the quote laws of medicine of economics and of health Protect the body and you will be saved and then the next page. He just continues on he says Who will begin the longer practice period today with a short review of the different kind of quote laws We have believed we must obey these would include for example the laws of nutrition This was one. I know we just we spent a lot of time on Adrian A lot of the people in Adrian were working on their fit-for-life diet food plan But food plan not diet. They've correct themselves. Yeah, it's not diet That's for life food plan and of course there's all kinds of beliefs that have to be meet be beneath this food plan To make it work. I mean, you know, what's the what's the use of putting all this effort and energy into a food plan? Unless you're doing it sensibly according to the laws of nutrition sophisticated cholesterol calories fat content Sunium content food combined food combined Yeah, proteins amino acids and all the things and you also eat in terms of order was to ingest routines And time of day Come out about eating one big meal in the beginning of the day or you know They've all these different things time of day and so on so forth or based on your body type You know diets that are designed more For body type. He just loves them all again. Jesus doesn't get into all that. He doesn't even get into cholesterol in here He just loves them all together in one word laws of nutrition laws of immunization medication and Of the body's protection in innumerable ways, you know, you could get into insurance plan all the schemes that seem to be very Practical in this world, you know, do you have a good insurance plan to help maintenance organization? Or with all the changes that seem to be going on a worship. How it's all along together Think further you believe in the laws of friendship. Oh, here we go That's the next one poking its way There's good relationships what it means to be a good See that's the other thing you put on the front of the mother is It's not can't just be a mother But you have to be a good mother, you know good father good son different criteria good employer Good employer good neighbor good citizen All these things all the ecosystem and the last thing he throws in Is in the laws of reciprocity Now that seems to fit in with those laws of friendship as well as those good relationships To that there's a lot of laws of reciprocity So you can see where Where this is leading even says Perhaps you even think that there are laws but set forth. What is God's and what is yours? Many quote religions have been based on this They would not say but damn in heaven's name The do's and don'ts you do these things you go to hell You do these things you go to heaven Kind of like there could be you could say fear-based You better not do these things We call these things sins and Don't do them and again if you really look at them again, it's it's there be there at the behavioral level If you do these things certain behaviors were sent Killing someone is it's not so good. You know, I mean that would definitely be kind of in the sin category I'll show it not kill. That's the 10 Commandments Do not covet thy neighbor's wife That's starting to covet is starting to get more back to the desire again because it's more of a want but They'll shout not steal You know Robbery that's that's definitely defined in terms of that of behavioral component and yet You know a lot of times when you get into friendships and relationships people talk about Stealing emotionally I hear the terms, you know, you always take You take so much from the emotion Emotionally you don't give anything back. Well, there is more stealing But instead of stealing someone's green paper strips for their or their comb or their toothpaste or their shit
