 It's not real, but why don't you open your mind to the highest law and the only law that there is, the law of love. And then live from that, and oh, you have no problem with the world from that state of mind. It's just a very natural, easy state of mind. But we do go into things very carefully, because when people talk about disease or sickness or different psychological states that they're going through, that's the presenting problem. You know, we have to, the spirit will reach to meet that need, or whatever that perception is, the spirit will reach to lift the mind up into a state of divine order in the world, or a state where everything is in perfect order. It already is, but it's just like when the awareness isn't there, then it seems like there's a lifting, a lifting up, or an inspiring universe. And, oh, what a great use of time. I mean, I'm having a ball with it. I have fun, it's light. We're very playful. We don't take anything seriously. I used to watch comedy movies, but now I can watch the headlines of the newspaper or Yahoo or whatever, and I sometimes laugh just looking at headlines, because it just strikes me funny. But it's not kind of a laughing at anything or anyone, but it's just a gentle, light laughter of thank God for what's real, and thank God this isn't. But before I came here, we saw two end-of-the-world movies. One was with Nicholas Cage, called Knowing, and another one when I got on the plane to come through Fiji was, I didn't even see the titles at the beginning, but it had Keanu Reeves, and it was the end-of-the-world movie. And, oh boy, nice symbols. But there was a likeness to each movie, because there was a strong sense of the presence of spirit that was beyond the images that came through in both movies. So people watching the end-of-the-world movie is based on a new likeness. And you have a sense that all things are working together for good, and that there's a great spirit that's beyond the images of this world. I used to have a good choice in my heart for everything. Sure, sure. Well, many of us, I think, we can look at things that look good in the first place, and in the second or third place at all. And for one that I wouldn't have thought of, I have a situation where I have the most interest in general. We made a comment like there were many of us doing this, but when you go to Russia to see the Washingtonites and make a lot of noise in the pipeline. So I said, well, how about the shower? Oh, the shower's my problem. The shower's my problem, because it wasn't supposed to be like this. But it's like, wait, so it's just my big shower. And I found a way to reflect on it. So then the next community, because the shower makes people do not like it. And it's trying to become an agency, but of course, that's the way it is. It needs a lot of space. So I'm not going to put it to your question right now. It doesn't feel right when you do the work. Okay? You know, I mean, if I come in, though, you've done a massage or whatever, and you're not watching this. And the key, on the other hand, you know, I don't want to come from half the city. On the other hand, I'm not quite sure how to handle that because I come from a background in which countries will never live on. But when things do affect them, I need another concept. And so it's not in my background that I'm in. It's not natural. I'm not sure how to handle it. When you have something, you would be able to hear the comments for the rest of it. You don't want to do it. No, you don't want to do it. You don't want to do it. Yeah, it's... I like the question 133 from the workbook about that. I will not value the marvelous. In that workbook, Western Jesus makes a very powerful statement. He says, every decision you make brings you everything or nothing. Every decision you make brings you everything or nothing. And in the world, it just doesn't make sense, because it's a world where there's constant choices that you're going through every day and some very practical decisions, including whether to wash or take a shower or anything like this. It seems to be complicated by this idea that we have a housemate that has different wishes. But what he's saying in that lesson and what he shares in the rest of the course is he's saying that in this world, which is a dream world, you're in a state of mind where you're constantly choosing between illusions, you're choosing between appearances and scenarios. And he says, really, this is no choice at all. It's almost like choice has been arrested and sent to prison. And then now you've got to use your choice in the prison, which is what we would call maya or illusion. So choosing between illusions can seem very difficult and confusing and disorienting and so on and so forth. It's really no different like when you go into a restaurant and the restaurant has a big menu with many, many choices. Let's say you like a lot of different foods and you may find yourself there struggling a bit to come up with a choice. Because it's like you're choosing between illusions, Jesus would say, and that's really not the choice at all. So it's a stepping stone idea. Jesus says, well, the way that you're going to escape from this is that really there's two purposes in your mind. One, you call it the Holy Spirit or the Spirit. And the other is ego, which is the death wish, which is that which is not real and true, but wants you to continue to believe in it, to believe in a lie. And so basically all of the discernment of the Course in Miracles is learning to discern between these two choices. He calls it the right mind and the wrong mind. And even though that itself is a duality, he's saying this is one duality that will get you out of all dualities. And eventually when you can tell the difference between the ego and the Spirit, the imposter and the voice that's guiding you inward to true state of mind, once you can tell the difference between these two, there will be no choice at all in the sense that there will be an acceptance. You'll just accept reality exactly as it is. But the mind training is learning to discern between these two. So if we use a practical situation like that, many people present these kind of questions to me all the time, like what would the Course say or how could Jesus help me out in this particular setting? And what you'd find is that one kind of general, I mean we can't make a general statement or a stereotypical statement for everyone other than peace of mind is the goal. But we can say that as you go around and say a lot of people have these issues that come up with people and I would say the first kind of a step would be if this person, if you didn't know this person if there wasn't some kind of a past association or a contractual agreement or an arrangement that's overlaying this relationship, so you took that off. And this was just somebody, for example in your case, that you were like rooming with, maybe like in a motel for a night. And somebody said to you, don't brush your teeth and don't take a shower and don't do this from this from this from practical terms. How would you treat it if they weren't your housemaid, if they weren't your child, if they weren't your parent, if they weren't your sibling. These are like overlays of the ego that are designed to make you feel guilty. Like for example the overlay of like a mother. How good is a good enough mother? That will drive you nuts. Or how good is a good enough father? The ego makes up these concepts, these ego ideals which are impossible to live up to. I mean you do your best but always the ego is saying it's not the best you could do, you could have been a better mother, you could have done a more loving thing. It's always saying you're not good enough, you're not good enough, you're not good enough. The ego set up the whole system.
