 When you really Take it in You start to realize that That all of time is just repeating That belief in the original error So it's just a of an error that seems to be repeated over and over and over and that's what makes time It makes the illusion of time. It makes the illusion of of change Time is associated with change But it's always in flux everything is changing shifting the main distinction you could say the one distinction That is required to wake up from this dream is just to see the impossibility of change if the world itself by definition is The belief in change Then You can't really change the change You can only change your mind About the change What does that even mean change your mind about the change? You can you can see the impossibility of it That's that's it. That's what forgiveness is it it overlooks Because this is actually the answer that solves all seeming problems because The only problem was the belief in change and when you come to This state of mind where you see the impossibility of change then that's it It's like game over for the ego In fact, it shows that there never was a game So this is the joy and the happiness and the light-heartedness and yet the ego insist on Changing everything How many versions of the course are really needed? Well, it's actually the practical application of the what I'm talking about tonight is what's needed not Coming up with different versions and variations and all this craziness of the world Oh, yeah, a variety is the spice of life No Different strokes for different folks No Jesus asked us in the course. He says makes make this year different by making it all the same So really there's nothing in time and space that you can look at to perceive Through the five senses that relates to anything real. That doesn't have anything to do with reality There's just one reality and that's eternal spirit and there's not multiple realities and there aren't different perceptions of reality because His reality is spirit reality is eternal and changeless and perception always changes when you look at interpersonal relationships, you know changing interpersonal relationships or what people talk about changing a partner all those things are still an attempt to change the change But but the change Is false by definition and so you can't change the false You can just see the false is false See see that's the difference It's not trying to change the false, but just see the false is false. It's very peaceful It's very relaxing Very nurturing. It's quite As far as concepts go forgiveness is the last concept you'll ever need and It's very very very relaxing Another way of saying this is you can't heal what is unreal So that's why you can't heal the body because the body is just a part of Fragmented perception, but the body isn't sick It's it's just a piece of the puzzle and when You see the purpose for the body and for the world is just forgiveness a very unifying purpose Which unifies all things Then then is the perception healed? That's what the problem was all along. It was cracked Perception it was fragmented perception. It was distorted perception And you have a difficulty understanding this it's because Quite frankly you still are invested in Specifics you're invested in idols What does that mean? It could be invested in people invested in money Invested in companies invested in a sports team winning invested in a relationship looking a certain way Invested in the body thinking the body has some value in and of itself All the things that people call life on earth, which is not life at all Eternal life is what life is but all the projections that people call life It's basically just again a devotion a dedication to an addiction to The changing and you can't change the changing can only see the impossibility of it That's where the awakening occurs. It's not in Looking to make anything better Looking to improve anything you won't find enlightenment in ego self-concept goals When you achieve them, you will notice you are still not satisfied and that's because They're ephemeral their temporal If you're an eternal being you will never be satisfied with the ephemeral it's quite quite simple But the ego defense against this realization the resistance to Understanding how simple everything really is let all things be exactly as they are and See that everything that happens to me. I ask for and receive as I've asked The simplicity of that is is a unified mind. I guess I've given away the mystery There's really no mystery to it Enlightenment is not mysterious It's actually the natural state of mind of Christ It's the natural alignment with God being sourced by God being created perfect pure love eternal spirit by an eternally loving creator and That's what simplicity is and that's what waking up is all about But it's not Something that you have to constantly guess at or it's not something where you're looking To try to cue off of the form to know who you are that small still voice within that inner recognition is what waking up is about not about trying to Find some evidence in the world to support your identity as In the Matrix movie you might remember when they first go into the Matrix you're driving along the street and Trinity's in the car and Neo and Morpheus and And they talk start talking about the the noodles this place where the Neo it remembers a memory of having some good noodles and and Basically, he's told all those memories that you think happened never happened And he doesn't know what that means and basically Trinity there is to it's right there in the car to give him the answer He says it Means the Matrix cannot tell you who you are world of images Cannot tell you who you are You're not gonna find And a bunch of images and idols you're not gonna find the Holy Son of God Pure abstract spirit and love and light in the images That's why you have to forgive them you have to forgive the veil. I am the father and I are One I am you have to do is Open up and embrace the fact of of Love
