 Good to see you and be with you again here. So beautiful Today I was feeling lots of love and inspiration and so in this afternoon. I thought well, maybe I'll do a little Meditation with a little reading from the course and miracles and and a song Play a song for our meditation It's been a very deep time very very deep very very holy as we open up to the light and It's been beautiful reading all the correspondences that you've been sending in in remembrance of Francis in and the light and Francis would always tell me over these last months It's all about true empathy. It's all about Staying with what's real and true and celebrating the light. So I know many of you have gone through some emotions And I've been writing to me and sharing some of those emotions that have come up regarding Francis laying inside her body and And also there are those of you that have kind of had these kind of epiphanies and And light experiences of seeing Francis in the light and it's a blazing light and and you're filled up with overwhelming love and Gratitude and so it's kind of an explosion of love It's like a bursting love a love that is just bursting and bursting and can't be contained So today I thought in the joy of the presence that we're feeling and that we have such gratitude for I would start off by a beautiful reminder that God only gives God is love and God extends love and God only gives there. There is nothing to get in God there is nothing to get in Christ. There is nothing to get in the light and There was a line that was coming to me from chapter 17 today and it was only what you have not given can be lacking in any Situation only what you have not given so this comes back to the joy the glee the happiness of giving the Seventh characteristic of a teacher of God is is generosity and What we want to do is stay in that generosity. He's basically basically talking about it in terms of our attitude he's talking about the Beatitudes and Have a generous spirit have a generous heart Be in the joy of giving be in the joy of extending the light There is no other purpose than to extend the light and if you perceive anything lacking in any situation It's just what you have failed to give in other words The only way that you come into the abundant joy of who you are and at the light is to give as God gives and God Has no Idea of reciprocity. There is no giving to get something back. It's just love extends like a flower extends its fragrance It just extends and extends it just offers and offers and offers and in that giving and receiving are the same so you are blessed by The giving the giving thought that God is the giving idea that God is So It's beautiful because that's what it's always been about just sharing the love sharing the joy sharing the happiness and and celebrating eternal life not as as a Ritual but as as an expression of this moment, which is our gateway to eternity so I thought I would Read a section today as a meditation so we all can just take a pause and In these days when you watch the news or look on the internet and you see all kinds of things and you you Feel that you want to feel the connection and the joy and the love of God then I'm going to read a section from Chapter 13 is called attainment of the real world and the real world is the forgiving world The real world is the world with no judgments The real world is unified perception. The real world is the happy dream You know Jesus calls it by many different names in his course of miracles But but it's it's why it's called the real world is because it's a reflection of reality It's a it's a world without Divisions, it's a world without separation. It's a world about without comparison It's just a world that's bright. It's lit up From the light of christ, which is within us So here we go Attainment of the real world it's section seven there in chapter 13 Sit quietly and look upon the world you see and tell yourself The real world is not like this It has no buildings and there are no streets Where people walk alone and separate There are no stores where people buy an endless list of things they do not need It is not lit with artificial light and night comes up not upon it There is no day that brightens and grows dim There is no loss Nothing is there but shines and shines forever The world you see must be denied For sight of it is costing you a different kind of vision You cannot see both worlds For each of them involves a different kind of seeing and depends on what you cherish The sight of one is impossible And the sight of another is possible because you have denied the other Both are not true yet either one will seem as real to you as the amount to which you hold it dear and yet Their power is not the same because their real attraction to you is unequal You do not really want the world you see for it has disappointed you since time began The homes you built have never sheltered you the roads you made have led you nowhere No city that you built has withstood the crumbling assault of time Nothing you made but has the mark of death upon it Hold it not dear for it is old and tired and ready to return to the dust even as you made it This aching world has not the power to touch the living world at all You could not get at that and so although you turn in sadness from it You cannot find in it the road that leads away From it into another world Yeah, it's just beautiful the presence of love I feel Francis was such a great demonstration that you can empty your mind of concepts And and when you do you are carried by the light you are literally carried by the light The body is just a A learning device and it's animated for a brief time In time and space a brief time in the cosmos Just to be an expression of that love and light and then it is gently laid aside So what we extend What is our joy to extend is is the happiness of the real world and this is This is our section here the attainment of the real world To continue with paragraph four yet the real world has the power to touch you even here because you love it And what you call with love will come to you Love always answers being unable to deny a call for help Or not to hear the cries of pain that rise to it from every part of this strange world you made But do not want All that you need to give this world away in glad exchange for what you did not make Is willingness to learn the one you made is false You have been wrong about the world because you have misjudged yourself From such a twisted reference point. What could you see? All seeing starts with the perceiver who judges what is true and what is false And what he judges false does he does not see You who would judge reality cannot see it For whenever judgment enters reality has slipped away The out of mind is out of sight because what is denied is there but not recognized Christ is still there although you know him not His being does not depend on your recognition He lives within you in the quiet present And waits for you to leave the past behind and enter into the world he holds out to you in love No one in this distracted world But has seen some glimpses of the other world about him Yet while he still lays value on his own he will deny the vision of the other Maintaining that he loves what he loves not and following not the road that love points out Love leads so gladly As you follow him you will rejoice that you have found his company and learned of him the joyful home You wait but for yourself To give this said world over in exchange for your errors for the peace of god is but your will And christ will always offer you the will of god in recognition that you share it with him So As you open to the vision of christ to this blazing light All that is required For healing in mind is to simply let healing be Healing is really not a process And it's really not an action And it really doesn't have A destination of some where else other than right here and some other time other than right now Healing is really the acceptance of what is And it's acceptance of this moment so all Problems that are remembered from the past and all problems and worries and concerns That are imagined in the future are are but grievances that hide the light of truth right now So our prayer is always Let me accept healing exactly as it is Nothing in form has to change For that to be the case, but our perception Our our perspective of the form has changed We are clueless We do not understand the world of form. We never will understand the world of form Because peace and understanding go together and cannot be found apart and that is It's a state of mind. It's a way of looking at the world It's being right smack dab in the middle of your heart Of desiring god above all else and not expecting anything to shift or change in the world to To bring about something different. There is nothing different than this moment It is god's will that nothing touches son except himself And nothing else comes nigh under him He is as safe from pain as god himself who watches over him in everything The world about him shines with love because god placed him in himself where pain is not And love surrounds him without end or flaw Disturbance of his peace can never be In perfect sanity he looks on love for it is all about him and within him He must deny the world of pain the instant he perceives the arms of love around him And from this point of safety he looks quietly about him and recognizes that the world is one with him There's no world apart from the mind If you If you see something you don't like then jesus just says pluck that That concept or thought out of your mind. I let the holy spirit take it away pluck it Don't tuck it away in the unconscious mind pluck it and do that by giving it over to the holy spirit The peace of god passes your understanding only in the past Yet here it is and you can understand it now God loves his son forever and his son returns his father's love forever The real world is the way that leads you to remembrance of the one thing that is holy true and holy yours For all else you have let yourself in time and it will fade But this one thing is always yours being the gift of god Unto his son your one reality was giving you and by it god created you as one with him You will first dream of peace and then awaken to it Your first exchange of what you made for what you want is the exchange of nightmares for the happy dreams of love In these lie your true perceptions For the holy spirit corrects the world of dreams where all perception is Knowledge needs no correction Yet the dreams of love lead unto knowledge And in them you see nothing fearful and because of this they are welcome They are the welcome that you offer knowledge Love waits on welcome not on time and the real world is but your welcome of what always was Therefore the call of joy is in it And you are glad response as you are awakening to what you have not lost Praise then the father for his perfect sanity of his most holy son Your father knoweth that you have need of nothing In heaven this is so for what could you need in eternity? In your world you do need things It is a world of scarcity in which you find yourself because you are lacking Yet can you find yourself in such a world? Without the holy spirit the answer would be no That because of him the answer is always a joyous yes As mediator of the between the two worlds. He knows what you have need of And what will not hurt you The ego wants to have things for salvation for possession is its law Possession for its own sake Is the ego's fundamental creed a basic cornerstone in the churches it builds to itself And at its altar it demands you lay off all of the things it bids you get Leaving you no joy in them Everything the ego tells you that you need will hurt you For although the ego urges you again and again to get It leaves you nothing for what you get and will demand of you And from the very hands that grasp it it will be wrenched and hurled into the dust For where the ego sees salvation it sees separation And so you lose whatever you have gotten in its name Therefore ask not of yourself what you need for you do not know And your advice to yourself will hurt you For what you think you need will merely serve to tighten up your world against the light And render you unwilling to question the value that this world can really hold for you Only the holy spirit knows what you need For he will give you all things that do not block the way to light And what else could you need in time In time he gives you all the things you need have and will renew them as long as you have need of them He will take nothing from you as long as you have any need of it And yet he knows that everything you need is temporary And will put last until you step aside from all your needs and realize that all of them have been fulfilled Therefore he has no investment in the things that he supplies except to make certain that you will not Use them on behalf of lingering in time He knows that you are not at home there and he wills no delay to wait upon your joyous hope coming Lead then your needs to him he will supply them with no emphasis at all upon them What comes to you of him comes safely For he will ensure it never can become a dark spot hidden in your mind and kept to hurt you Under his guidance you will travel light and journey lightly for his sight is ever on the journey's end, which is his goal God's son is not a traveler throughout our worlds However, holy his perception may become no world outside Himself holds his inheritance Within himself. He has no needs for light has nothing needs nothing but to shine in peace And from itself to let the rays extend and quiet to infinity Whenever you are tempted to undertake a useless journey that would lead away from light Remember what you really want and say the holy spirit leads me unto christ and where else would I go? What need have I but to awake in him? Then follow him in joy With faith that he will lead you safely through all the dangers to your peace of mind This world may set before you Kneel not before the altars to sacrifice and seek not what you will surely lose Content yourself with what you will surely keep And be not restless for you undertake a quiet journey to the peace of god Where he would have you be in quietness In me you have already overcome every temptation that would hold you back We walk together on the way to quietness. That is the gift of god Hold me dear for what except your brothers can you need? We will restore to you the peace of mind that we must find together The holy spirit will teach you to awaken unto us and to yourself This is the only real need to be fulfilled in time Salvation from the world lies only here My peace I give to you Take it of me in glad exchange for all the world has offered But to take away and we will spread it like a veil of light across the world's sad face In which we hide our brothers from the world and hit from them Wow, this is just such a song of joy and gratitude and I like that that The holy spirit will in time he gives you all the things that you need have and will renew them As long as you have need of them But as we go on down a little bit further He basically is saying He will make certain that you will not use him on behalf of lingering in time There's our line The spirit the light Would not have the sleeping mind lingering in time No lingering no loitering It's time to accept the calling and all fear all doubt all shock all Resistance is basically a resistance to the light to accept the calling the inner calling and when we Remember Francis. I can just tell you she Remembered her calling she She dumped into that calling headfirst She joined she prayed together She listened together All the sparkle and joy in her eyes and the smile on her face was coming from the light of heaven And that is our light our light that we share that is the light of the world is really what it is And and to do that we have to lay aside all thoughts of the self concept Go beyond the body Go beyond the forms go beyond the images Go beyond the concepts of competition and possession Be you faithful To the lord thy god be you faithful to god in all things And that simply means that you don't want from anything from the world And when you don't want anything in the world, then then it's time to lay the world aside gladly Happily joyfully We lay the world of judgment behind and we We spring into and remember the the unified Glorious state of mind that is one with with god So I think Just feel the peace of that sink back and feel the peace of that and And I feel also that I want to play a song Saba has so many beautiful songs that she received and I was just listening to this song yesterday, and I was just so filled up. I felt so deeply connected with God with everyone and everything and filled up and And actually the name of the song you can close your eyes if you want to meditate along here But the name of the song is Carried by the light Feel the light feel the light Feel the truth Embrace it And let everything else go really that's it that's that's the message That's always been the message. Yeah. Yeah, don't linger Don't linger in time Let the holy spirit light things up And then god takes the final step as usual God is all in all god is everything and we We thank our source. We thank our creator for creating us as a being of light so God bless you all Hope you're happy and joyful and feeling light Under the holy spirit you will journey Light and travel light and journey lightly. Yeah, we just read that today So I wish for everyone the gift of forgiveness to travel light and journey lightly and adios my friends
