 Yeah, I've often talked about it just the other windows I look how I could see this very large tree with the trunk and then the main branches Coming out of it and then the branches getting smaller and all the green leaves on it. It's very much like consciousness that that That does seem to be a very good question like if there is like a taproot Or there was a way if the tree represented consciousness and you were told that the tree isn't real and That you ultimately have to just release the whole tree The wise thing would be to get a big chainsaw And come right down to the base of the tree and say all right we can we can handle that Let's just get a crew in here. Let's get maybe a little bit a lot extra work But let's get a very big powerful maybe a set of chainsaws and let's go right in for it right there But that that does relate to the like the psychotherapy thing would be it would be like a Client going into a psychotherapist and saying You see I've got this self-concept. I believe I Substitute a world with a whole cosmos a big bang in place of God and that was a big mistake But I'm here To have you completely Have me I'm exposed unveil and dismantle the entire cosmos Charge an hour But with most people don't that's not they're presenting problem They you know, they don't want you to take Can you help me with the disappearance of the universe how much do you charge per hour? But that's just not there so practically speaking most of the times people start off with the leaves and then the the smaller branches and Generally, you'll find that that's what all practical kind of spiritualities Even Jesus, that's why he told all those parables. He was using terminology for mind and consciousness even before their Freud had intended the words about you know Defense mechanisms and all the words that he uses in a course of miracles just a lot of them weren't invented I mean it'd be kind of interesting to go through the era make study and say What was even available? Back then I think you get a really good job Kind of pointing to it with the words that were available But now we have a lot more words to use and it seems that that's part of that course so It is I think a matter of willingness that that For some they they come through the trees and the branches and they get to the trunk Much faster than others seemingly and I think it's it's really a matter of desire That's what that's what gets you down That's what traces it down to the core and bring it gets you to that decision point faster In fact in the course of miracles Jesus says Truth will be returned to your awareness by your desire As it was lost by your desire for something else So when he gave me the concentric circles guess what was bullseye, right in the very center That's heavy pretty heavy words truth Not you know Anything truth will be returned to your awareness by your desire So I would say that seems to be part of the unwinding and coming down from the leaves and the branches more towards the trunk And then it starts the closer you get to the trunk the more intense it gets That's where you read books like Saint Job the cross dark night of the soul When you start getting down close to the trunk That's when the ego it doesn't sometimes go from suspicious to vicious Suspicious is reserved for the leaves and the twigs When you start to get down near the trunk and which is unplugging from it and and its whole perceived existence and so forth that's when Everything gets more and more intense intense rage intense enormous fear Intense fear of loss of control abandonment so on and so forth it gets more and more intense and it gets more non Specific when you're up playing with the leaves and the twigs. It's all very specific. You know, you think you know, that's I ever see that you know, it's like you can think of you've got their names You've got the memories and you're really got some real specific I will never forgive but never forget. I will never forget when you know better that but once you get down towards the trunk It's just this intensity. It's very non-specific Like you could be just sitting on a couch Meditating and then this intense rage comes up and you look around you go What triggered that? You know the little leaf falling off and dropping down here Ruining my environment But that's how it gets, you know when you start to get down there closer to the plug Of course the ego is like it doesn't want its whole seeming existence unplugged So that's where it's it's really good. I mean even at that point Even if you have mighty companions around you, the ego will try to project The mighty companions, you know, get out of my face. I'm going through rage here You know, that's how it gets when you get down there Because because it's just it's just the way that it seems to be in the approach And then when you finally get down to the core to the decision point It's more like a little Buddha movie I mentioned last night. It's just there's no flaming arrows at all It's just all like petals like rose petals and Orchids and lilies and it's just all Beautiful, but in approaching that that's the way that it just seems to go and You know, is there like a taproot? You know, I I did many years ago Before 9-11 back in the 1990s. I talked about the twin towers. I was constantly going around the Holy Spirit was using the twin towers parable and Holy Spirit was saying that that there is like a master switch in the basement of The twin towers because I was using the twin towers, you know, so many floors New York City and everything and And if you get down to the master switch, then the towers will light up The towers will completely light up and be gone and and that was a parable that was pulled back in the 1990s It was interesting after The twin towers did come down Some people were finding like, oh, I was reading in my study group this little pamphlet that you had It was called mind overhaul or something like that And our purposes and only choice one of them and and they said I was reading about the twin towers coming down When did you write this thing? It was back in the 1990s, but that was kind of another example of the master switch does get down to cause and effect and Oftentimes I talk about hypotheticals and time being simultaneous instead of linear and That's that's really the taproot it seems like with that metaphor that When you're not really ready to get to the taproot And it seems like you're going through the individual rooms and you're turning the light switch on In all the darkened rooms room by room by room and with the twin towers It's a lot of rooms, but the master switch has to do with causation and I think online and And in various times I've put up this this talk that I did with a group of people called reversing cause and effect and One of my students years ago, Jeffrey Lake he He I think he read through that like six times before he started to have the light bulb going off Okay, his eyes would move across it and he would read it and then he would go Don't get it and he would go through it again read the dollar again And it was like six times before there was a doing like a light bulb going off The master switch the taproot is heavily guarded You know just imagine if if it's the mind the seed mine is filled with systems and systems of defense mechanisms then the master switch is The is going to end the whole Shareed it's heavily guarded by the ego Talk about Fort Knox and Fortress. You ain't seen nothing till you've seen how this is guarded some of you watched the matrix the keymaker You know and they're saying there is a door But the door can only be opened by the one Which is true Think I was made sure that door is not going to be opened by a human being because the whole construct would Would disappear and all human beings in the whole world would would be Retranslated into love and to a forgiven world. So there is the taproot, but it's it's just it's If you really want to kind of go for the taproot We have a little teeny booklet. Do we still have that with us out there? Purpose is the only choice that we've had one of those It's very tiny. It's one of those that you can you take off to your hermitage Of course There's been through that so many times It's like he's beyond beyond a little book. Yeah, this This could be subtle. It could be called purpose is the only choice finding the taproot Look how small it is It's funny that now and here you are asking for the taproot The factor when I just popped it open it. It just I read the first word. It was stomp Exclamation point So the key is to follow the cord down to the plug purpose and unplug it But if one is holding on to a belief system of linear time of bodies nature And all the things of this world then as one starts to go down the ego shouts stop exclamation point in italics You don't want to do this. You'll be left with nothing exclamation point. No identity exclamation point and if the ego still seems to have value If it still seems to give you something that you think you want and need the mind will halt the search For the plug will halt the search for the plug will say now There's certain things. I would not like to question No, I don't want to question that. I just want to accept it Some of you saw the matrix movie cipher, you know, he he wanted to halt the search for the plug He says put me back in the matrix You know get me plugged in again. I want to be something an actor. Oh, the agent goes, okay, mr. Reagan Interesting So It says ironically in its attempt to handle the loud noise of the blender The deceived mind will retain defense mechanisms and distractions on the surface The projected world following the cord down in this analogy is the same as tracing upsets from Specifics to the false beliefs that produce them or becoming clear on the distinction between form and content Once this is clear once one is able to discern what comes from God and what doesn't What is true and what is false and thus realized that? Only the truth is true and there is nothing to decide Until that realization is reached Purpose is the only choice The whole thing I just picked the paragraph with the title in it But that's like a key thing. So that's that's really is it's where terrorists questions started about you know Questioning an inquiry and really that's really the tech group. That's what the goal is
