 The world's your friend, I mean, your friendly. It's just a matter of learning how to forgive and be truly friendly. Then the world becomes your friend. Not something you have to fight against or carry a sword or anything. You know, when Jesus said, you know, things like, was quoted as saying, I did not come to bring peace but a sword. I used to say, did he really say that? But it's more, I see it now, more the sword of discernment. You know, clarity with them. The true and the false. One who can show us the difference between what's real and what's an illusion. Well, that's a nice sword. I'll take that sword. If you're bringing that sword, bring it over my way and show me the way. So, basically, I went around, I started traveling and living like Jesus in the apostles in 1991. I was told by Jesus, you will never charge money for anything. Just accept donations. Let me provide for you. Eat whatever serves. Sleep wherever anybody offers you a bed or place to stay. Don't make a fuss about it. It's like the Beatles strawberry fields forever. There's nothing to get half about this world. Just be a good listener and follower and you'll see that this will be easy. And I'd been raised in Christianity, so I knew all about the stories. Lily's at the field, look at them. They don't spin or toil. I think he first became the King of Heaven and all things. I'll also be able to, you know, this is quite familiar with Jesus' teachings. But in the course of Miracles, Jesus was a little more explicit. Let's go through this little saying every day that Jesus said, once you have accepted His plan, the Holy Spirit's plan, as the one function you will feel, there will be nothing else the Holy Spirit will not arrange for you without your effort. Without your effort. You'll go before you, making straight your path, being in your way, no stones to trip on, no obstacles to borrow your way. Nothing you need will be denied you, not one seeming difficulty that will melt away before you reach it. Never had that before. You need to take thought for nothing except the only purpose you will fulfill. In the course of Miracles, that's called the promise. And let me tell you, Jesus delivers. Talk about a standing deliver spirit. This is a spirit that, when it makes a promise, it means it. There is nothing that can stand between you and that spirit because that's who you are. You're calling upon your own name when you call upon Christ. You're calling upon your divinity. And there's nothing that can stand against a son of God or a child of God who remembers who they are. There's no law in the world, not a typhoon or a forest fire or a hurricane. There's nothing in this world that can harm you and you know who you are. So I hit the road and I started in 1991 just being compelled to travel around just go where I was guided and let the Holy Spirit and Jesus speak to me. And I'll just tell you one little brief parable from the beginning before I open it up. When I opened our discussion up was I went down to Florida and I was invited by some friends that I had never met. Just friends of friends that invited me and a friend of mine named Beverly to go down to Miami, Florida. And we got down to Florida and I had never been to Miami, Florida. I think she either had been there either. And we got there and we called our friends up and they went home. So we said let's just go over by the ocean and park the car and park and go out and just kind of walk along the beach and get our feet wet, roll up our pants and just enjoy the ocean. So we did and we went out. She was really dancing and splashing the water and just getting all wet and splashing all over me so our pants were getting kind of wet and everything. And on the way to the park, we probably about an hour before that she was talking about when all my job and my this and my that and she's talked about, she mentioned my car. And I said well, you know, we really don't have anything in this world. It's just props that the Holy Spirit can use for whatever purpose it is to bring this healing. So when she said my car, I said let's actually just Holy Spirit is just using the car. When we got back from our walk along the water, we came to the parking space where the car was. We both stood on the yellow lines where the car was and she looked and she says it's gone. My car is gone. And it was a Toyota Corolla and it was gone. It was packed for like five, five and a half or six weeks of travel. Wallets, purrs, credit cards, money, cassette tapes, sleeping bag, tent. Somebody had loaned us a tent for camping while we were gone. And our course in miracles books and everything. I mean it was gone. Vanishing, the vanishing car. And she just was stunned. Look, she just stared over me with a staggering look. Like what now? And three ideas came out of my mouth from Jesus. I just looked her right in the eye and I said all things work together for good. There are no exceptions except in the ego's judgment. Then there was a pause and I looked at her again and I said nothing you need will be denied you. And I paused and looked at her again and she's just got her eyes wide open and then I was like, what's going on? And I said, and remember this one, everything it seems to happen to me I ask for and receive as I have asked. She was like, we're in for the adventure of our life. Come on Jesus, let's see how this one plays out. So it gives you an idea of imagine yourself in this frame of mind if you went out and your car was gone and you had those kind of thoughts in your mind and your car disappeared. You could take on anything. Take my car or use it. So if you're planning, you know, I'm going to see how this is going to work out. It's like Les often will say it's always going to be much better than you could ever imagine. Better than you could ever imagine. This was my second major trip. I've already taken one trip all the way across the United States through Southwestern United States and up California to Seattle area and across to Wisconsin and back. So I was off with Beverly on the second trip. We started walking and all of a sudden it was like park rangers that have a pickup truck. They saw us walking. They picked us up and they took us over there to the ranger station. They said, what are you? Are you a tourist or something here? And we said, well, we had some friends that invited us to come down to Miami so we came down and they said, well, what are you doing? And this is a big park. What are you doing walking along here? And we said, well, actually, we drove into the park. But the car that we were in was gone, just disappeared. They said, well, come on, hop in the back. So we hopped in the back of the pickup truck. And we go to the ranger station. They're starting to ask us all kinds of questions. They said, your car is gone. It's just completely vanished. And we said, yeah. Well, this is Miami. We're a port city. And there's a lot of car thievery that goes on there. And one of the ladies left. And she said, it's probably painted and shipped off to Jamaica by now. Thoughts, doubt thoughts, fear thoughts. Once you start to follow your intuition and the spirit, you know, the ego wants to come in with fear, fear, fear, darkness. They try to tempt you to think that it's not going to be a glorious adventure when it's going to be dark, painful, difficult, struggle. And so they said, well, did you have any money? Well, we were out walking in the ocean splashing around up there. Well, did you have your wallet with you? No. What about your purse? No. Well, what do you have? Well, we have to close on the wet clothes on our back.
