 Yeah, I think of my own life and I look back at the parable of David and then In the mid-1980s I started to get all have these very powerful spiritual experiences And then the course came into my life in 86 and then for two and a half to three years I was just reading it for like eight hours a day and totally merging with it and Not knowing another course student or groups or anything just going into a merge with Jesus with the course eight hours a day with it and so on and so forth and then and then when I popped out of that phase I was Shown course groups and I went from knowing no one in my whole area to study the course to going to five groups a week In and it all happened very rapidly Then the next thing that happened was the Holy Spirit Jesus started speaking through me at the course groups with with authority Not you know like reading a line or something David reading a line it was coming through I was in such alignment with it that it would just come pouring through and Then on the ride home from the course groups then ego would have a field day. What did you say? Who do you think you are to speak those words? What if you if you destroy people's lives with those words, you know So you help a few people you might ruin you might mess some people up. What if somebody commits suicide? Based on what you just said back there in the group and you know, these are the kind of things on the ride home It was really intense. I'd show up there. I'm here to be truly helpful I'm here to represent him who sent me use me Lord I love the Holy Spirit would pour through I had such a connection and then on the ride home Ego would just second gas look back, you know, what are you doing? Who what is he just going to a group? And who are you to teach this? Who are you to even say that? You know, it was really hammering away It was quite threatened by this new use of speak through me Lord It was extremely threatened by that and yet, you know, that was part of the whole mind training I ended up going to like five groups a week And then I went to this one very large group of course students. It was sometimes between 20 and 35 people there very well established for many years. They had no facilitator No group facilitator. They just have been going up for years and no facilitator So they would go around and each read a paragraph of course groups and then when somebody would have a question There would just be this pause of opening like could somebody help with this question or very practical question The Holy Spirit would just come right up and then the same thing would happen Then the pause question Holy Spirit would come right out and answer. It was almost like the spirit was like I'm here I'm available and here's it would be very to the point very extremely helpful answers to whatever question came so this went on for weeks and then months and then If somebody was filming the group they would watch around read read read read question Then all the heads and the whole group would turn over to the body of David for the answer It was just just a way that the group unfolded because the clarity was so strong It was just coming through and you had better believe that their ego was Was going to do a number on this like what where are you taking these people? Who do you think you are? You are not the teacher of this group. It doesn't even have a facilitator How dare you you know it was the ego was very threatened by This use by this real clear use of for my mind training and for everyone's it was coming through that way so that is not uncommon that that you start to practice this study this and then you find yourself like in a psychology class even and you are You know not you're somewhat hesitant to To speak out these things and yet you do from time to time and then you start getting positive or very helpful reflections and witnesses back and That is what the ego will do because you're on your way To your function to actually fulfilling your function Of being a miracle worker. That's the beginnings of it and the ego is so threatened about where this is heading Because if you go if you do get into your miracle working And you devote at least stay with it then the ego is out of business Do you think that's threatening to the ego? It's extremely threatening and that's what's going on, you know, even though some of your past conditioning would say You know, this is not so good
