 Yeah, I think the trilogy of living, your description of it, just really summarized the whole experience of the awakening journey is this expansion and forgiveness is just to, you know, seemingly forgiving, what are we forgiving except the past and, you know, as the mind expanding and expanding and really just start to rise about all the past judgment and include everybody in it. And let go of the past identification of this limit, this limit self and has a limit context, has a limit relationship, has a limit personality and all of that has been washed as we keep following the spirit. That's why we keep emphasizing, you know, you can't do this alone with the ego because it's a closed loop, it's this limited construct that seems to, you know, be the trap and then to get out of it, to expand and have to hold hands with the spirit to get us out of this limited context. So what Chris was mentioning as, you know, what we talk about is about not drawing conclusions because every conclusion we're drawing is based on all the past learnings. That's what conclusion and decision was really is. How can you draw any conclusion about anything except from the past learning and past experience? And how can that be helpful from being, allowing something else to come in in the awareness, allow the Holy Spirit's voice to be heard in this present moment if you keep holding all the conclusions and judging from the past in this unknown mentality of, you know, even I know what this grievance is about. I know what this upset is about, you know, and I want to justify the anger because I'm angry because it's because, because, because all of that is just conclusions. And as soon as we started to say, you know, we don't want to hold on these conclusions and justifications of our upsets, and we're willing to allow something, a new interpretation to come in, then the mind is starting to rise above all of that and just keep happening and keep happening as you follow the spirit, you know, a long step, a step. That's exactly as you're describing, you know, just raise about a broad extent that all this past identification is forgiven, it's gone. But forgiveness is quiet and still, it actually does nothing. Forgiveness is a presence, it's a state of mind that reminds the mind that what it looks upon is false. So in that practice of seeing where the mind thinks it knows what the problem is and then goes about trying to forgive it, forgiveness is in the seeing of that. Oh, I've ripped on, I think I know what it is and now I'm going to try to find a practice or a process to go into it, it's in the releasing of it. It's just like a decision for forgiveness. And you also can't discount the importance of self-inquiry, like, you know, the whole course is helping the mind that needs forgiveness to become very aware of the ego's thought-pans. You become aware of false empathy so that you can recognize that and you choose no not that. And you become aware of the unhealed healer, you become aware of what an unforgiven thought does. So there's so much learning in the course about the ego to be able to be in, recognize that and see it and no longer follow its ways. But your forgiveness just becomes more and more of just a natural response of the mind to go, oh, it's more of, it starts to go in the direction of holding on as soon as that movement is recognized. It becomes more natural to just not go there anymore, not even pretend to think that you know what it is because you realize that you don't. It's just very natural. Because forgiveness does apply to everything. It's not just upset that we're frankly forgiven. It's not just the people, the situation that is upsetting us. The things that gives us pleasure needs to be forgiven. Everything in this world that we think we know, we have a conclusion about, needs to be forgiven so that we can release from this identification, with this seeming perceiver and perceive an outside world. So everything comes into the scope of forgiveness and so we keep talking about not doing a conclusion because that's no wider. You know, it's not just limited to obsessed but that can be a starting point. But it comes, you know, across the board to everything, every conclusions that we make in our mind need to pay attention to that. There's prayers in the Course, there's steps that are given, there's practicalities. And that leads the mind where it believes it is, it believes it's a person in time and space. So it gets a workbook of 365 lessons that seem to be a context that the mind can relate to. You know, the spirit is just like, get over it. You know, it's like, oh, here, try this. It's not working, try this. That's not working. Look here, try this. You know, and it's like there's a playful, playful feeling of the spirit like, did you get it yet? Okay, we'll try this one, did you get it? Okay, try this one, did you get it? You know, it's just that playful kind of sense, nothing over us, not being scolded or demanded or, you know, like there's some kind of taskmaster above us. And even these steps, you know, a lot of times teachers will try to boil the Course down into these five basic steps or three basic steps or two basic steps. You can't take forgiveness and you ultimately can't shrink forgiveness down to a formula. Because the formula, eventually you will have to practice whatever formula works for you to a point that you spring into presence. The person was talking about in Francis's presence that sees the false as false. That's as simple as it is. We talked a little bit about, I mentioned recently about ordering of thoughts and hierarchies and illusions and preferences. We get into all these subtle things. You know, you can't take the Course and you can't break it down to a few clichés. You know, like clichés like the Course is telling you not to judge. But it's okay to have preferences. It's okay to, you know, enjoy yourself in this world and so on and so forth. But just don't judge. Just don't condemn. And you go much deeper into what forgiveness is. It's telling you that even the preferences of nuances that you seem to have as human beings are all judgments. They're all judgments. The pleasurable ones, the good judgments are just as harmful to your peace of mind as the bad judgments. You know, we've had teachings that say accentuate the positive, illuminate the negative. As if that will actually get us back to God by accentuating the positive and illuminating the negative. When we start to realize, Course is telling us that our positive judgments are just as detrimental as our negative judgments. That's a deep teaching. You know, this isn't your entry level. This is getting into enlightening teachings. The dreams you think you like, Jesus, can hold you back as much as those in which the fear is entered. Wow. Whoa. We're talking Christ presence now. This isn't your entry level spirituality. This is dive. The invitation is dive down deep and to know who you are and know thyself. So, you know, it takes it beyond kind of trying to take a course and fit it into your human world. I studied the Course. It's almost like, I'm an alcoholic. Hi, my name is Simon, so I'm an alcoholic. You can do that for years. It may help you break out of the denial and impression. Oh, no, I've got no problem. No problem. You know, you see where that mechanism of identifying and saying, Hi, my name is Simon. I'm an alcoholic. It's the first step in admitting you've got a problem that needs to be addressed. You're not just going to gloss it over, but then you go deeper into, you have to go beyond being a course student who's using this book, who still has this personal, individual identity, because eventually even a course of miracle students, the ego will go, OK, if we have to hang on to that one, we'll just hang on. Just hang on for dear life. You're a course student. You're going to die a course student, you know. Years, you know, the ego will try to latch on to anything of this world that will prevent you from knowing yourself as the Christ. Even in course of miracle students, it will grab onto that concept. Or course of miracles teacher, you know, it'll go, OK, if you're going to have to be a teacher of God, then let's make it a good career and let's make it lucrative. You know, come on. If I've got, OK, you have to go this far, then you go out and pretend to be a course teacher and make a good successful living. Have a good life in this world with the teachings. You see how the ego will try to latch on to anything to keep you from waking up and remembering who you are. So your goal isn't to become known or popular or famous. Your goal isn't to be well respected by people and bodies. Your goal is to wake up to who you are, to have no affiliations, and no past associations that would hold you back from that glorious final experience of who you are. That's what the whole plan is designed just for one realization. And then the world holds nothing to want or to go after at that point. When you know who you are, where is the world? Gone. Gone from the mind. Never really was there anything like that. It seems like it's gone for good.
