 But remember, nothing is as it seems in this world, it's the mind that believes in the ego, that believes in the competition, which generates the guilt. And then the guilt is projected out onto the body. So the injury, as I said before, of all illnesses, our mental illnesses, the injury is actually caused by guilt in the mind. It has absolutely nothing to do with the body's collective. That's just projection as if the source of the injury is in the world. Or people will say, well, don't stay out in the sun too long because of the radiation, and there's this thing about getting cancer from too much exposure to the sun and so forth. It's a dream, and there's these various cause-effect relationships where it seems to be that there's a cause in the environment in relationship to the body, or in the genetics even within the body in terms of history, that has something to do with the illness of the injury. And what I'm telling you is it has nothing to do with the injury or guilt. All illness in terms of form is just a projection of guilt in the mind. And that's why forgiveness is so important. When you're doing your forgiveness practice, you talk about a health insurance policy, forgiveness is the best health insurance policy there can be because it removes the guilt from your mind, and that's what causes the illness. Just the feeling of guilt doesn't feel the guilt and shame, and so for psychologically, you might say, that's your best psychotherapy is forgiveness. And then in basic terms too when we talk about special relationships, the ego uses the body for pride and for pleasure and for attack. So if you find that you can honestly look at your life and you can start looking at your motives for doing things, your purposes underneath, if you trace the motives down into your mind and you can find those motives, pride and pleasure and attack, that is what is keeping you from knowing the peace and joy and happiness of God. Those motives are basically ego motives, and when you follow the ego as advice and teachings, you keep the guilt in your mind and consciousness instead of releasing it. And then the ego says, get rid of it, project it out onto the world as if you can get it out of your mind by projecting it into the world. And I think a lot of us can relate to this in real simple terms, like when I was a little kid, I remember I would go to church, but I really wasn't so thrilled with church, going to church, having to go to church every week. And I remember some weeks where I would just sit at home and think, I really don't want to be there. I really do not want to be at that church. And I remember I started on a Saturday night or Sunday morning where I would go into my mind and just over and over, I don't want to be there, I don't want to be there, I don't want to be there. And I could work myself into quite a fever by Sunday morning so much so would we and then get Mom to come in and feel the forehead and go, oh, I don't feel so good. And she'd say, oh, you've got a fever. And it was just a good example of projection, where there was something unresolved within and then actually using sickness to get out of something. You can see that it's part of the ego motive. Instead of just saying, I don't want to go to church and I'm not going and facing whatever would come from that, it seems safer to work up a little bit of a fever there. And that sickness is an insane decision. It's almost like you're trying. There's a motive underneath it that's not pure. It's not authentic and it's not clear. So I think that pride, pleasure and attack, I have many, many lessons in my life in relationships where I see that pride of wanting to have it my way, wanting things to work out a certain way or wanting to have control. A lot of it when I would just trace it inward, that was where the pride was coming in. And we've talked a lot about humility. That was a major theme for many years. The jobs that I took, the relationships I had, just got more and more humbling of the teaching of the courses. Would you rather be right or happy? And every time you want to be right, it's the ego and its own pride that wants to be right about something. One wants to win an argument. One wants to have the satisfaction of standing up. And I was right. I told you so. That's the old I told you so motive. We're finding fault to protect and defend something. The attack motive is pretty obvious. I mean, I think, again, most people look at something like as horrendous as war and they see bodies being shoved and stabbed and blown up and so on and so forth. And it's just the insanity of that. But remember, it's not really the bullets or the bayonets. It's not the bombs or the grenades. It's not what seems to be happening in form where the attack is, but it's the attack thoughts in the mind. The judgments in the mind is what you could say is where the attack is. And this world was made to almost displace attack thoughts and to try to, you might say, dilute them. Like, there's only one really, one attack thought we could really talk about and that's the belief that you separate from God and make yourself different than God created you to be. But that attack thought is so major and it is so horrific that it's completely buried out of awareness. You just don't hear people when they say they're having a bad day. Well, yeah, I think I attacked God. People, that's not something that's in conscious awareness. I believe I attacked God. So that's pushed way out of awareness and a world was made out of it. But there seems to be lots of little attacks. Little glances and glares, little irritations and annoyances sometimes boil over to interrupt in terms of being flashes of anger or rage. It's like, basically, rage is just, we might say, just an irritation or annoyance is like a veil drawn over intense rage that really what Jesus is teaching us is that there's no difference between minor annoyance and rage. Everything that's upsetting for you is a block to your awareness of divine love and grace and peace. And then you have to give them up and tie them up so you can't believe that solid attacks are justified and others are not. You can't believe that there are certain cases where you should defend yourself in certain cases where you don't need defense. That healing is never partial. So that's why when we go into something like a topic like anger or attack, you just have to be taking so deep into your mind that you come to a state where you realize the impossibility of attack. It won't do you any good as long as you still believe that attack is possible because you always get defensive whenever you perceive an attack. But that takes a lot of practice in the sense of, I know in my life I've been seen with countless different scenarios and situations that have come up. But to reach a state where you are so identified with mind that you don't perceive a physical attack or a psychological attack, then that takes a lot of practice because that's what keeps the guilt in place is this belief in attack. You really have to have two for an attack. You have to have an attacker and an attackee and forgiveness and a happy dream but it just isn't the two. We were talking before about you're unified with everything and everyone so there's no two. So attack has no ability to exist as a concept.
