Bienvenido a todos. Sí, es Vava's birthday today, She chose to spend her birthday singing to all of you in Spanish. What a beautiful gift. Yeah. Well today we have a very profound topic embracing the present. And it doesn't matter what spiritual tradition or religion you come from, whether you are a course of miracles practitioner or not, that all of the perennial wisdom and all of the saints and mystics and teachers have emphasized the present moment. And the mystery is entering into it because the mind has conditioned itself through the ego belief system, and it has invented its own version of the present moment, which is not the present moment. The ego doesn't know what the present moment is, so it has to make inventions. It doesn't understand divine love, so it makes up romance and sex to substitute for divine love. It makes up electricity to substitute for the divine nature essence of spirit. And it makes up words to take the place of divine communion with your creator, which is pure stillness. And it's pure telepathic communication. There are no words involved between Christ and the Creator God. So today we're going to explore the topic of embracing the present moment. And another way of saying that would be discovering the present moment. You can't embrace something unless you discover it. And when as a human being you look around your surroundings right now and you look at your environment, you look at the body and you look at the television or computer screen, you look at your partner, your furniture, the walls that surround you. The ego would say, this is where you are presently. You are presently engaged in a Zoom conference call. And it's not really true. This is part of the trick. The ego has convinced the mind that it knows what the present is. And the ego says the present is what the images look like right now. The only thing is, the ego doesn't even know what right now is. So it's a trick. So actually the present moment is not this Zoom gathering right now. We have to go deeper, much, much deeper to find the actual present moment. So in the mind that's asleep, there's a belief system generated by the ego. And it's all based on past learning. So when you look around at your environment right now and you see, we'll say a computer screen or some some images in the Zoom room, that is a projection of past learning. That has absolutely nothing to do with the present moment. Even when teachers like Eckhart Tolle asked you to just look around and be aware of everything in your environment. Be aware of your breathing. Be aware of the temperature. Be aware of the sights and sounds and smells. That's just the very, very beginning of starting to quiet your mind to sink down beneath all ego thoughts. And sink deeply enough to find the present moment, to find the light, because the present moment is synonymous with light. And when you have a direct experience of the light of heaven, you have encountered the present moment. Slowing your breathing, paying attention to your breathing and paying attention to the environment and beginning to focus on what seems closest to your body. That is a way of concentrating or bringing attention away from thoughts of the past and the future. And yet breathing is past tense. Spirit doesn't breathe. Temperature is past tense. Chairs, carpets, lights, windows, walls. Past, past, past, past. Everything that is perceived with the five senses is the past. So we need something from Jesus to give us a start if we're going to embrace the present moment. And this is what Jesus has to say. We but undertake a journey that is already over. Reviewing mentally what has already gone by. What is perceived with the five senses is reviewing mentally what has already gone by. The five senses may seem like they're part of the body, but they aren't. They're part of the mind. And everything is mind. There is no such thing as physical. Jesus says all illness is mental illness. And so when people say, what do I do with these body symptoms when the body gets sick? I said, oh you missed something there. All illness is mental illness. The body doesn't get sick. You watch a motion picture and the ego projects symptoms onto that motion picture. And then the ego goes sick, sniffles, or fever, or cancer, or heart attack, or you name it, fill in the blanks. These are mental concepts that the ego has invented. And all illness is mental illness. So we're starting to get a little bit of a clue here. If we have, we but undertake a journey that is, that is already ended. And we are simply reviewing mentally what has already gone by. We can see that this is a big trick. This is a big trick, a trick of separation. Now let me talk a little bit about the present moment. Jesus says the present moment is the closest approximation to eternity that this world offers. I'll say that again. The present moment is the closest approximation to eternity that this world offers. So the opening song was eternal. And the way that you approach the eternal is through the moment, through the present moment. Linear time is an invention of the ego. The ego has invented the past, it invented its own version of the present, which is squeezed in between the past and its third invention, the future. It's a fake past, it's a fake present moment, and it's a fake future. And that's why when you identify with this fake timeline, you experience guilt. You experience pain. You experience death. Linear time and death are synonymous. Linear time is the belief that there's something other than God, other than eternal life, other than eternal spirit. Everything about linear time, which is an invention of the ego, is death. At one point in the course Jesus says, all the roadways of the world lead to death. It's in there. All the roadways of the world lead to death. So that's why this topic today is so profound. Because to the extent that you value time, that you value linear time, to that extent you believe in death. You wake up in the morning and you open your eyes and you go, what's this? What? What the hell? Jesus says, yeah, you got it. What the hell? That linear time is hell. He's like, very good, what the hell? You got a clue there. If that's the first thing you say when you get out of bed in the morning, what the hell? You're getting a little bit of a clue that God didn't create this world, that this world is not home to you, and that the only way you can be happy is to know your true environment, which Jesus says is heaven. That's your true environment. That's the environment in which you were created. That's the environment where you exist. That's the environment where you have your being. You know your true power. You know love, eternal love. That's your true environment. And time is what the hell? If you wake up and you go, what's this? What the hell? Then that's good. You're closer to the present moment than you think. You don't have to be so shocked. You actually are in a good position there. The Holy Spirit can work with that. What's this? What the hell? The Holy Spirit is like, yeah, I'm glad I got your attention now. Pay attention. I've got some important instructions for you to wake up to eternal life. So I have talked before of the sleeping mind is the split mind. Why is it split? Because it believes in two thought systems that don't have any meeting point. The ego cannot communicate with the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit cannot communicate with the ego. One is a thought system of pure love, and one is a death wish. And I can tell you right now, pure love and death wish don't have any meeting point. You have to embrace one entirely to know who you are. And that's the Holy Spirit's thought system of love. Where does the Holy Spirit broadcast from? Yes, the Holy Spirit broadcasts from your right mind and the present moment. The Holy Spirit is coming to you live from the present moment. You are receiving this live from the present moment. It may be reaching your mind, but you can resonate with it because it's coming from the present moment. The Holy Spirit resides in the present moment. Does the Holy Spirit reside in the past? No. Does the Holy Spirit reside in the future? No. Can you accept the atonement or the correction in the past? No. Can you accept it in the future? No. Jesus says, what time but now can truth be known? Now is the only time there is. So, I said earlier that the ego invented linear time, and the past and the future are inventions of the ego. I'm going to call them cousins because they're related. The past and future are related. They have nothing to do with you, nothing to do with you, but they are cousins from a very dark thought system. And they were generated by the ego to keep you feeling guilty. And the only reason the ego invented the past and the future was to keep you from knowing who you are, the living Christ. And so, you can see how important it is to listen to the Holy Spirit because every guidance and every message you receive, we'll say your mind receives from the Holy Spirit, is for the only purpose of bringing you into the present moment and helping you remember eternity. There is no other purpose of guidance. You may think, well, I really would like to get good at guidance because maybe the Holy Spirit will guide me to a better house, a better partner, a bigger bank account, a better city and country to live in. No, no, no, this is not guidance. The Holy Spirit's guidance was only bringing you to the present moment. So don't even think about hijacking the word guidance and manifesting some kind of future that you believe is better. The future is never better unless you are living in the moment and then it will fade away. It will fade, it will light up and fade away. If you give yourself to the present moment, there will be such a bright light that it will cast its light on your future and will seem to make for a time. It will make a brighter future, but then don't get tricked by that either. You're an eternal being. You'll never be content with just a brighter future. Remember, the ego made time, so anything that involves past or future, question it, question it, doubt it. Don't give your mind over to it. Most of you know that when you think about the past, you feel guilty and when you think about the future, you feel worry and concern. That should be a clue right there. If you're relaxed and you totally become still, you're coming closer to the present moment and the relaxation is the reward, is the experience of entering the present. Now, this is how the ego makes time. It actually has a filter in the mind and it projects false meaning and whenever you meet somebody, even for the first time, you're really not meeting them for the first time. You're just meeting an ego judgment or version of what the ego has made them to be. You meet a man or a woman, you meet a child, you're meeting the past, no doubt. Even if it's the first time in time sense, you're still meeting the past. The flesh is the past. Some of you remember lesson number 7 from A Course in Miracles' workbook. It's, I see only the past. That's what workbook 7, lesson number 7 says. Jesus is just saying, you're always perceiving the past. He goes on to say, I see nothing as it is now and if you could see only what is now, you would have Christ's vision and you would have no need for time. You would return to eternity. So just remember, whatever you're perceiving is just a filter of past learning, past conditioning. No two people see the same world so when you're perceiving a scene in the world or a person, you're perceiving past conditioning, past learning. That's why when a celebrity flashes onto the television screen or computer screen, some people may say, oh, I like that one. Some may say, I don't like them. Some may say they're beautiful. Some may say average. Some may say ugly. Those are all ego attributes, an ego filter. Christ is not calling anybody beautiful or ugly, fat or skinny. Christ is not calling anybody old or young. The present moment doesn't have those filters. It's only the ego that defines the world based on past learning. So in one sense, the ego is always attempting to bring the past into the present. That's the ego's game. If you want to know what the ego's game is, it always tries to bring the past into the present. But it doesn't even know what the present is, so it brings the past into its version of the present, which is still the past. Now, the present is like, I don't need you. The ego's like, I'm going to bring the past into the present. And the present is like a clean, crisp, fresh moment, always brand new, always lit up in light. And the present moment does not need the past. It's not interested in the past. The ego wants to bring the past into the present, and the present moment has no interest whatsoever. The darkness wants to come into the light, and the light's like, light is all there is. Light is not in need of darkness. Perfect love casts out fear. Perfect love does not need fear. And the present moment doesn't need the past. But the past is the ego, and it's the familiar. When you have a familiar feeling, you have a feeling that you already think you know based on past learning. Oh, you look familiar. Oh, this is a familiar sight. It's past. It's just the belief that you can know something by knowing the past. You cannot know anything from the past or the future. This morning, before I came over, I was listening in my mind to this beautiful song from love, actually. God only knows what I'd be without you. And then, if you listen to the song, it just starts to sing the phrase, God only knows, God only knows what I'd be without you. God only knows. And then I just had this rush of love kind of ripped through me and I was feeling this intense love with the phrase, God only knows. God only knows. God only knows love. God doesn't know opposites. God doesn't know pain and pleasure. God doesn't know past and future. But God only knows. And you can only know in the presence of God. You can't ever know anything about anything in this world. That's why I like that line. God only knows where I'd be without you. God only knows. Everything is for God because God is pure love. It's eternal love. It's eternal life. God is everything. And this veil of time and space is just a cover. It's just a distraction. It's not reality. There's not even a speck of reality to time and space. Not even a speck. So if the Holy Spirit's in the present moment, that's why we need to embrace the present moment. Because the Holy Spirit knows when the mind is split in asleep, it needs to wake up. And the Holy Spirit must use what the ego made to reinterpret perception and take the mind back into the present moment. The Holy Spirit is a guide with only one purpose and that's to bring you to the present moment. The Holy Spirit isn't trying to make the world a better place. The Holy Spirit is not trying to improve the human condition. The Holy Spirit is not trying to make anything better. The Holy Spirit only has one purpose and that's to introduce you to help you discover the present moment. The escape hatch to eternity. And that's why when Jesus said, go to your closet and pray. And some of you might remember, shut the door, he said in the Bible. Go to your closet and pray and shut the door. He was saying, go to your inner chamber where God resides, where you reside, where the light resides, go to your inner chamber and know the Lord thy God. That is the purpose of everything. He says at one point he says, you might say it's even natural and then he goes on to say, you might even say, it's the only natural thing in this world is to reach God. Jesus says that in the Course, it's the only natural thing in the world. What about apple trees? No. What about green grass? No. It's not natural, it's steak, it's astroturf. It's like the Truman Show, it's a simulation. Don't get caught up in organic green grass. Even fresh air is just part of the past. There's no fresh air in heaven. Don't get caught up into trying to be lured into the natural world when only reaching God is natural. With a friend we go to someone's house. Here I'll fix you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Is it natural peanut butter? No. There's no such thing as natural peanut butter because only reaching God is natural. Is that your natural hair color? No, it's not your natural hair color. It doesn't matter whether it's blonde or white or gray or silver or brunette black. It doesn't matter, it's not natural. Only reaching God directly is natural. And that's what the present moment is. Now, I said the Holy Spirit broadcasts from the present. The ego always broadcasts from the past. You can call it PBN, Past Broadcasting Network. It's always broadcasting from the PBN, from the past. And that's why there's guilt and pain and shame and anxiety because even things like worry is just a version of the PBN. It's a version of the past broadcasting because the future is just a construct. Jesus says the past is gone. The future is but imagined. These concerns, path and future, are but defenses against present change of focus. And the Holy Spirit only focuses on present change of focus, on your purpose of forgiveness. Forgiveness is the key to happiness, but it's only found in the present moment. You will never find forgiveness in the past or the future. Now, you can say to yourself, well, this is really some pretty strong teachings, but now how do I apply that practically? How do I apply that to my relationships? What Jesus is saying, whatever you perceive in a relationship, whatever you want from a relationship, Jesus says, it will not help you, it will harm you because the you that he's speaking to is the mind that believes in the ego and anything the ego wants from a relationship will not bring holiness, will not bring peace, will not bring contentment. You know what I'm talking about in terms of relationships. I'm talking about expectations. As soon as you want something from a partner, as soon as you expect something from a partner, you know deep down why you're not happy because in order to expect something from them, it means you must believe you are lacking. Why would you even expect something if you knew you were everything? If you knew you were a perfect child of God, why would you expect anything? They could come to you and say anything. They could come and say, bye, I'm leaving. I'm out of here. Wouldn't bother you if you knew you were present moment sustained by God. But if you feel you're lacking and a partner says I'm out of here, that's where the hurt comes. That's where the sadness comes. That's where the grief comes. Yesterday Ken and I did a talk on the topic of death. And we talked about loneliness. We talked about grief. We talked about hurt. And all of those emotions are based on loss. And loss cannot exist in the present moment. Loss is a belief from the past and you can even project it into the future if you want. That's what the ego does. But if you are present, you do not have an awareness of loss. You have an awareness of connection to God in which loss is impossible. But if you believe in loss then you believe in the past. And this whole journey is a journey of letting the Holy Spirit use the symbols of time which the ego made to unwind you from the belief in time and take you to the present moment. That's what we call guidance. I have to say that since I first discovered the Course Course in Miracles in 1986 it hasn't been all miracles. It hasn't been all happiness and joy. But as I gave myself over to practicing the teachings and listening to the guidance and following the guidance yes it did get happier and happier more and more joyful, more peaceful and that's what you would actually imagine if you would follow the Holy Spirit. Why else would you follow the Holy Spirit except for happiness? Why else would you give so much devotion and effort and mind training to follow the Holy Spirit if it didn't bring you happiness and joy and peace of mind? It wouldn't be worth it unless it brought you all those things. But it does. It does bring you all those things. It leaves you in the present moment in a state of invulnerability. You cannot be touched by anything or anyone. It leaves your mind at rest. It leaves your heart wide open. It leaves your mind wide open because present trust directs the way. You actually don't need past learning at all. If the Holy Spirit wants to use something that you believe in to teach you that it's not true, say yes. Say, okay Holy Spirit, I will go for that. I think I know something. You're sure that I don't. And God only knows. God only knows how I feel about you. God only knows. That's where the truth is, God. But in terms of the past you have to give it over to the Holy Spirit and say, I'm taking my hand off the wheel. You're driving the car now. I'm not, I can't drive this car anymore. I wasn't meant to be driving this car in time and space because time and space is not my true home. It's not my true environment. Y then when you, as the song says, Jesus take the wheel, Jesus take the wheel. You know, when you really can sing that with all your heart, Jesus take the wheel, you really do that. Then your life will start to get happier and happier because everything that Jesus would have you do, He will do through you. It won't be you as a person doing it. The Spirit will move through this puppet, this little flesh puppet and it will speak the words the Spirit wants to speak. It will smile, it will laugh, it will be animated by the Spirit that is the truth and that is the Holy Spirit using the things that the ego made. And the ego did make the body. The body's not a creation of eternal life. It's just something that the Holy Spirit can use. A couple days ago a friend wrote to me on Facebook messenger and said, David, what is your view of Catholicism? And I had to stop for a moment, I thought. So I just put my hands on the keyboard and I said, Catholicism is a theology that the Holy Spirit can use to take you back to God if you follow the Holy Spirit. You notice that's the key. The Holy Spirit can use, the Holy Spirit can use Buddhism. The Holy Spirit can use Hinduism. The Holy Spirit can use, of course, miracles. The Holy Spirit can use anything that the ego made to take you back to God. Because the present moment is the destination. It's not a future destination. If you really wanted to give a true marriage vow, this would be your marriage vow. I love you now. We have no future together. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Now, you might have to, you might have to get me to do the ceremony because I don't know if many priests would do that. But I'm talking to you from the present moment. I'm talking to you from the present moment, which knows that you are free now. You are married to God right now. You are one with God right now. Y eso es el hecho, eso es el hecho. Incluso la Iglesia intenta despliegar con el tiempo para coverar el hecho, todavía no ha cambiado el hecho. ¡Siempre estoy como Dios me ha creado! Eso es el alimento, eso es la verdad. ¡Siempre estoy como Dios me ha creado! Ahora, puedes decir, ¿Cómo aplicaré estas enseñanzas a mi negocio? ¡No lo haces! ¡No lo haces! Estoy cansado de las personas intentando llevar un curso de Miracol en el negocio. El negocio es basado en la escaseza y la falta. Es basado en la reciprocidad, la demanda y la demanda, ¿Cómo aplicar la verdad a eso? ¡Eso es un mensaje! ¡Eso es un mensaje de tiempo! Así que no intenta decirme que puedes llevar la verdad a la ilusión y que puedes llevar la luz a tu negocio. Tienes que llevar tus pertenencias, tus pertenencias sobre el negocio, tus pertenencias sobre la reciprocidad y la recibir. Ex�gando. Lo haré para ti, si lo haras para mí. Aquí es un producto, te lo haré para ti, pero te lo harás para mi dinero. Esto no tiene nada que hacer con Jesucristo. No tiene nada que hacer con Dios. No puedes llevar la verdad a la ilusión. Tienes que llevar las ilusiones de ideas y creencias a la luz en tu mente para encontrar el momento preso. Si intentas llevar el Espíritu en la línea de tiempo, va a ser muy, muy difícil porque el Espíritu no viene ahí. La verdad no viene a la ilusión, pero el Espíritu colapsará el tiempo, colapsará el Alpha y el Omega, el Alpha y el Omega, juntos, al momento preso. Y eso es lo que Jesus nos enseñó. Yo soy el Alpha y el Omega, el principio y el final. ¿Dónde podría ser eso, pero en el momento preso? Eso no hace sentido en el tiempo. Absolutamente no hace sentido en el tiempo. En el principio del libro de un curso en Miracles, Jesus dice, ¡Vas a necesitar nuevas ideas de tiempo! ¿No es genial? Si el tiempo es el problema, Jesus dice, ¡Vas a necesitar nuevas ideas de tiempo! Y un ejemplo de esas nuevas ideas de tiempo es, ¡Vas a necesitar nuevas ideas de tiempo! Yo no veo nada como es ahora. Nada, nada, nada. My five senses are now reliable. They aren't showing me the truth. I won't find the truth in the five senses. The present moment is one, and that's where you find the truth. Five no. One, yes. Five, complex. One, simple. The truth is simple. You only find it in the present moment. Now, there may be a part in your mind that says, wow, that seems radical, but I don't know if it's practical. Oh, it's very practical. If you let present trust direct your way, instead of past learning, instead of future planning, you will feel the benefits of what I'm talking about. That should be your prayer. Holy Spirit, now I let present trust direct the way. I'm not interested in my past learning or my future plans. If you really want to make God laugh, tell God your plans. Because the future can only be funny to God. It's actually a better word, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous to put so much mind energy into the future. You know what I'm talking about. You know how worrisome it gets when you start to try to make plans and then they change and then you make new plans and then they change. Then you're all anticipating the latest version of your plans and then they get canceled too. Well, of course, there's only heartache when you try to make plans with the ego. But if the Holy Spirit can use time, the Holy Spirit may occasionally give you a plan. Because the Holy Spirit knows that the mind believes in time and so it wants to give it a helpful plan to unwind from time. Not to perpetuate time. The Holy Spirit will never perpetuate time because it doesn't even exist. Why would he perpetuate it? So these are actually very key teachings of learning to live a life of trust. When I first came across the Course in Miracles in 1986, I started reading it and my heart was opening and there was lots of happiness and joy. But the ego was kicking. The ego was like kicking and saying, this course will not help you survive. This course is not going to maintain your bank account. This course may give you a little glimpse of some peace of mind, but it's not going to take the place of a career. The ego said you're going to have to be practical. You have to handle all these time things on your own and then I'll let Jesus give you a little peace every once in a while. Jesus said no, no, nada, nada. That's not me speaking. He said, you give me your mind and your heart right now. You give me everything and I'll take care of you. Don't think it has to be a future career. I will take care of you. I will sustain you in every circumstance. I will sustain you in every seeming situation and that's how you'll know it's me because I will do this without your effort and that is a big thing because we put a lot of effort to the ego. When we believe in the ego, we're constantly efforting. It's a struggle. It's a struggle to maintain the illusion of time. It actually is a lot of work. I can tell you because before I came across the course I worked my tail off and got nowhere in terms of peace of mind. A lot of work for nothing. I was not experiencing any happiness and peace. Just struggle, boredom, depression. Yeah, that's not surprising when you let the ego be your guide and your master. So we have these two hours to open it up. It's actually three hours I think. We have these three hours to open it up and Maria can guide us through this because it's like we put our toes in the present moment and now we have to dive in. We want to dive in that pool. So Maria, you take it away and we'll see if we have anyone who wants to dive in this pool together. I'll jump in with my clothes on. It doesn't matter. I don't even need a bathing suit. I'm ready to do it right now. Gracias, David. Qué alegría volver a encontrarme. Bueno, tenemos preguntas. Graciela Tejeida pregunta cómo puede el Espíritu Santo usar los símbolos del pasado o del ego y cómo identificar la voz del Espíritu Santo sin confundirla con la voz del ego. Thank you. Thank you for your question. Well, you asked how can the Holy Spirit use the symbols of the past and the answer to that is the purpose. The purpose is to reinterpret perception, to literally see and perceive differently than the past. So if the past is judgment, all perceptions of judgment are simply the past. And yet, there is a way with the Holy Spirit to look upon this world without any judgments whatsoever. And in this state of mind that I'm talking about, you accept all things exactly as they are. You don't break them apart. You don't say some are attractive appearances and some are unattractive appearances. You don't say some are helpful appearances and some are unhelpful appearances. You don't even reach and say there are good appearances and bad appearances. You allow the Holy Spirit to use the perception of time to show you a reinterpreted world. And that's what forgiveness is. It's a reinterpreted world. It's seeing the world different than you saw it in the past. And it's really happy. That's why Jesus calls it the happy dream. The happy dream is the same dream with no judgments. And that's why it takes such practice and mind training. Because the ego is always trying to tempt us and say, oh, wouldn't you prefer this? Wouldn't you prefer this? Like, oh, I wake up at the morning. The ego starts in right away. What do you prefer to do? What do you prefer to happen to you? It's always based on preferences, which are judgments. But the present moment takes you into this pristine stillness where you can just behold everything and everyone the same. And that's why Jesus says, make this year different by making it all the same. He's just saying, let the Holy Spirit interpret the world for you. And actually that's where the relaxation comes to and the peace. Because judgment was always difficult. Judgment was always very unnatural. We always felt a little strange with the judgment game. But forgiveness frees us. It sets us free. It makes our mind ready for eternity. And it's also extremely practical. It's the most practical devotion you could have, would be to forgive. So thank you. That's a beautiful question. And then it was a two-part question. Wasn't it? That was the how. And what was the other part? La otra parte era como distinguir la voz del ego de la del Espíritu Santo. Yes. That's a good one too. Discernment between the Holy Spirit and the ego. Well, since God always gives and since the Holy Spirit is God's representative the Holy Spirit always gives. And the ego always tries to get. So in this world we have a very strange mix of that. Called giving to get. I'll do this for you if you'll do this for me. And that is where the ego comes in. That's where the expectations come in. That's where the demands come in. That's where we lose our peace of mind. Somebody's sitting there all pouting and they're all upset. And you ask them, what's the matter? I didn't get something that I wanted. Get. There's the key word. I didn't get it. I didn't get the promotion. I didn't get the phone call I was hoping for or the text. We went on a date. I was waiting. Waiting by my phone so patiently for them to text back. How are you doing? Let's have another date. Nada, nada, nada. I didn't get the text. So you can always tell the ego when there is a desire to get something. It gives it away every time. But when you're inspired, when you feel so filled up and so happy and you just want to give, you could even call and give somebody an invitation and say, would you like to come over or would you like to meet me for dinner and everything? But without the ego, you have no expectation of that. They may say yes. They may say no. They may say, sorry, I can't do it. You're going to be happy all the time because you're in giving mode. Your life is to give. And many times people think of giving in terms of money or possessions, but that's really not it. It's giving from your heart. Give your full attention. Give the love. Give the patience. Give the tolerance. Give without any strings attached. Give without any conditions. That's the Holy Spirit. That's clearly the Holy Spirit. And that's what I admire in Jesus. He's an example of one who was here to give. And he gave of his wisdom. He gave of his love and his peace. And he gave of his teachings, which included many examples as well. So he was just a good way show or a good example of how to live a life tuned into the Holy Spirit. It's all dedicated to the giving. So thank you. Very good two-part question. Gracias. Susu pregunta. ¿Podrás ampliar esa frase que citaste a que este año sea diferente al hacer que todo sea lo mismo? Yes. Well, in linear time, people sometimes make new year's resolutions. They're going to do things differently in the new year. They can think of things that they want to happen, things that they prefer to happen. They may have future goals, job goals or family goals or goals in terms of where they live and what they do. But Jesus is asking us to forgive. He is asking us to let go of the future. And he even has a workbook lesson in the workbook called, I Place the Future in the Hands of God. And the reason he's asking us to place the future in the hands of God is because he's saying, give it over to the Holy Spirit. Let the Holy Spirit give you time one moment at a time and stay with the Holy Spirit. Have no expectations of a future. How do we know if this is our last breath? How do we know if this is our last day on Earth? Why wouldn't we give it to the Holy Spirit and say you use it? I give you the whole day. In fact, take the whole future too. I'm going to give you all the future. Because in that sense you're giving up planning. You're giving up future goals so that you can focus your mind on a present goal, present peace, present peace of mind. I know that sounds strange in this world, but to me it's very natural. It's my whole heart, it's my whole devotion is devoted to that present peace. And everything works out. Believe me, I'm telling you. If you focus on the present, everything works out. There is no threat. There is no loss. There is no disaster that will befall you if you keep focused on present peace. We don't have a lot of role models when you look at 7 billion people. There's not a lot of the 7 billion that are doing this. But that doesn't matter. They're just projections anyway. You need to focus on the present moment. Let the rest go to God. Give it to the Holy Spirit. And this is how we shift our perception. This is how we see the world differently. This is how we experience the happy dream of non-judgment. So that's what it means. Make this year different by making it all the same. He's saying, why don't you dedicate this year to non-judgment? Why not dedicate this year to peace of mind? To present happiness? Try it out. That's all Jesus is saying in the Course. He sent us a love letter. It's a big long love letter. It really is a thick love letter. But it really is simple. He's just saying, why not focus on the present moment and have peace of mind as your goal. And give up the rest. Now the ego will tell you that's a sacrifice. It's like, well, you probably are going to die. If you actually do that, you'll probably be dead pretty soon. It's like telling a hamster that's running in a wheel. Stop, stop running. And then we're afraid the wheel will stop then and we'll be dead. No, the hamster will just rest calmly at the bottom of the wheel. There's no problem really. You don't even need a spinning wheel or a spinning world. So just follow the love letter and make present peace your goal. And actually you'll find there's no loss. There is absolutely no sacrifice involved. You might even be surprised. I was. I mean, when I started practicing this, I had so many miracles and I was just like, you got to be kidding. I was struggling and efforting all those years and all I had to do was stop and focus on present peace. And that was it. And then when any darkness came up, let it go, forgive it. That's it, that's it. This is what the love letter is telling us. Así es, así es. Vicky pregunta. ¿Cómo traer a la luz los errores del pasado? ¿Se realiza en el momento presente? Yes. That is how you do it. You do it in this moment. And when you're happy, when you really are happy for no reason then you can just enjoy it. But if you start to feel something other than happiness then that is a mistake from the past rising into your awareness. And the only thing you're meant to do is to hand it over and go bye bye. You don't try to analyze it. Don't try to figure it out. Let it slow down by and say bye bye. You have to let mistakes go to the light. The light wants them. The light's like, that's my job. I'm here to shine them away but you have to give them over. You can't hide them and you can't protect them and that's what it means to be authentic. Many years ago I started with my relationships and communities practicing two guidelines. The first one is no private thoughts and the second one is no people pleasing. And that's just a way of saying don't hide. Don't hide your mistakes. The ego wants you to hide your mistakes. The ego says if anybody finds out about these mistakes they are going to hate you. They are not going to like you. And that's how it maintains this mask of linear time by hiding mistakes, pushing them down into unconscious. Pushing down, always repressing, always denying. All you have to do is freely and willingly let them come and let them go to the light. It could be with anything. As soon as a mistake comes up into your awareness the best position is just to go, oops, oops, and then give it to the light. That's the best way to do it. Don't try to figure it out. And definitely do not analyze it. If you put time analyzing it you're just saying I want to keep it. You're just stuffing it back down when you try to analyze it. The Holy Spirit accepts. He's like, oh good, more mistakes, give them to me. I'll accept them. I'm always open for business in this moment. I live in this moment, so I'm open for business in this moment. This is the father's business. And then the ego either rejects or it analyzes. You can always tell if it's the ego if it's rejecting something or analyzing something. That is not the Holy Spirit. Gracias. Bueno, tenemos varias manitos levantadas. Vamos a pedirles, por favor, a las personas que van a empezar a hacer las preguntas que hablen pausado para que las otras personas que están a cargo de la traducción puedan hacerlo sin inconvenientes. Vamos a escuchar la pregunta de Jennifer. Jennifer, puedes abrir tu micrófono. Hola. Buenas tardes. Hola. Gracias. Muchas gracias. He escuchado la pregunta, creo que estamos cortando a la quica. Hoy. Y eso se siente muy bueno y clarificado. Mi pregunta es y casi me pido la mano porque has respondido a algunos de ellos. Pero. As I feel like as I grow more certain and grounded in the fact that this is not reality. That I'm not here and this is not me that that there's a depression that comes with that about not being where not having my awareness where I am in reality and and I understand that the Holy Spirit is the great repurposer and is showing us how to have function and have purpose and use what the egos made. But I still find that as I withdraw my self as I naturally my interests wane in activities and values of the world that that there's a sense of depression along with that. And I wonder if you could speak to that. Yes. In lessons 128 and 129 the book Jesus talks about these two aspects of spiritual awakening and the first one is a letting go or relinquishment like you're talking about. So lesson 128 is the world I see holds nothing that I want. And then the second aspect is an acceptance of a function a communication function that you have Jesus and the Holy Spirit are going to want to communicate through that body and those symbols and shine the light in a very strong way. And so lesson 129 is beyond this world is a world I want. So you see now the first lesson focuses on letting go of the linear world and then the beyond this world of linear is a world I want which is you can achieve it in the present moment. You can actually perceive the world completely different from the present moment. And that can sound very abstract but I will come back to the communication function. At one point in the course says you will you will speak words that what is to come has already been. When I first read that I thought will I really that sounds cool and here I am I started off the gathering today by saying we but undertake a journey that is over merely looking back on it and mentally reviewing what has already gone by. He was right. I would speak words that what is to come has already been. I would have many witnesses. In the workbook he says you will draw others with you. You will you will others will come to follow your light. He is talking about the teaching function of communication of extending what the spirit wants to extend through you as part of your part in the plan of awakening. Jesus had a part. Ramana Maharishi had a part. Yogananda had a part. All the saints and mystics who have gone for this surely went through what you were just describing where they felt a little depressed like they probably thought about this linear world this ain't it. And then they fell into a depression like. Oh great. I seem to be in a place that's not it. That can be a depressing thought. And this is what all course students go through. I call it disillusionment. There's a deep sense of disillusionment that comes from slightly being aware that the world's not real. Just slightly sentimentally being aware of it brings depression. And Jesus says all the roadways of the world will lead to death. But if the teacher of God had just gone one more step than that, he would have been lifted to heights of happiness. There's the function. There's the function that takes away the depression. So I can say from the parable of David that when David seemed to encounter the course at 28 years old in 1968, 1986, I'm reversing numbers now. It says parable anyway. It could be anything. It could be 3,000. But from that point I started to get a function, a calling. And that calling gets you in touch with the present moment where the happiness is. And then from that connection to that happiness, it wants to come through. So from that point on, I've had thousands of lunches and dinners, traveled to 44 countries. I have had a blast. I have had a blast with the Holy Spirit in Jesus. Because I had a function which was given to me moment by moment. That's the fun part. You don't have to sit down and get a notebook out like write out your life or anything. You may get some guidance in journaling. It could be very helpful, but you don't have to plan out your life. We can't possibly foresee what the Holy Spirit has for us. But from that, yes, I said yes to being used as a communication device. I said yes to turning my life and my will over my heart, my mind, my emotions. I said yes, yes, big yes. And when I said big yes, then that's where the second phase of the awakening comes in. The world is a world I want. That's where I started to rise up in awareness and merge above the battleground, merge in that higher mind because of the communication function. Was it different? I can't imagine anything more different. I was a shy guy. I was a shy child. I was a shy teenager. I was shy all the way through my 20s. I didn't go on my first date until I was 27, the year before the course came. I went on my first date. I was Mr. Shy. And then Jesus was like saying, well, I can work with that. Moses, he said, when Moses stuttered and he had to deliver the Ten Commandments, I said, well, yeah, but Moses, come on Jesus, that's a long time ago. It's not the same world as Moses' time. Parting the Red Sea. And I said, it's just a different time. This is the 1980s. This is the music of the 80s. This is a different time. And he said, well, he said Gandhi was shy too. Gandhi was extremely shy. He said, yeah, you better read his autobiography. He was as shy as you were. And look what I did with him. So he said, no, it's not such a big deal. And we do all have a communication function. And that may or may not involve words. You know, it's actually our attitude that's the most important thing. And when we go into that attitude of willingness, of show me the way, I'll serve, I'm willing to be used by you, Holy Spirit, then from that attitude, things involuntarily flow from us. Not consciously, under conscious control, but miracles should not be under conscious control. They are involuntary. But as I cultivated that attitude, it was like I got this love letter from Jesus, and then I said yes. And then I fell in love. I fell in love with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. And then I was inspired to travel, to laugh. I became much more lighthearted. I became much more gentle. And fearless. Before I would, you know, my gosh, my cat could scare me, jumping out from behind the curtain or something. But you know, I was shy and quite fearful, but not anymore. You know, when you get into this love relationship, you follow the love letter and you go in deep into the love relationship and you grow in strength. Your awareness expands. And that's what takes care of the depression. Because honestly, that was part of my shyness. I was quite bored and depressed actually too. It wasn't only shy. I was shy and mostly many times bored and depressed. But not after I answered the love letter. You know, then it's like whatever it was, it just turned 360 degrees. And Jesus was like saying, you know, this need not be, and we have no time for delay. Like let's get it in gear. Let's click this thing into gear. Click this baby into gear and let's go. You have a communication function and let's not delay it. At first I just studied the course mostly on my own. I just read it, use it as an oracle. The first two half years I've headed in my hands about eight hours a day. But then after about five years Jesus said, okay, that's enough of that. Then he said let's start going to some course in miracles groups. So within one week I went to five courses in miracles groups. The shy guy. Out of the nest, get out there. You get out to those course in miracles groups. And then after two or three years there was one group where they would go around and read a paragraph each. And then they would usually pause to discuss it. But when I was there they stopped doing that. They would read the paragraph. Somebody would read the paragraph. And then everyone would be quiet. And somebody in the group of 25 people would ask a question. And all the heads would simultaneously turn to the body of David to hear the answer to the question. Very strange course of miracle group. But it had to be my willingness. I wasn't showing up there as a teacher. I wasn't even the facilitator of the group. It looked like some kind of comedy skit. Read a paragraph. Question comes. All the heads turn. The voice comes out. So that was the way that went. But that was the beginning of a communication function that has gone on for way beyond that. But it's really the same. I'm still here in this present moment. I haven't gone anywhere. I haven't gone anywhere and done anything. I'm just here in this moment. And that's where the alignment and the happiness comes. And that's how we go beyond this world as a world I want. That's phase two. So you've got everything to look forward to. You're just teetering out of phase one. And ready to shift it into gear. And it will make you indescribably happy. You've got a lot to look forward to. Thank you. Gracias, David. Bueno, tenemos otra manito alzada. Vamos a darle paso a Luis. Luis puedes abrir tu micrófono. Adelante. Bienvenida. Hello. Hi, Luis. You've spoken about it a little, David. I would really like to hear more about your experience of being in the present moment. Like even in mundane activity or what would have been en las escondidas mundane, perhaps before. I have experienced a little of this at times, but very short periods of time. And I know that I can still recognize that this is something that I would have seen ugly and how everything's beautiful, like a car park or something, you know, which is something mundane. I would really like it if you would share some of your experience of how you see what wants with bodies como estás hablando a tu propia vez, me sento a veces, hablando a mi propia mente, o en mi mente, solo antes cuando hablabas, y yo solo tenía mis ojos cerrados, y mi mente está hablando a mí, y yo realmente me sentí, no me siento mucho ahora, porque he sortido de vuelta a mi ego, pero mi otra cosa es que, oh, me siento, estoy hablando bastante rápido. ¿Tienes todavía que sorprender los pensamientos de la ego a Dios? ¿Están todavía... ¿Tienes todavía veces cuando necesitas sorprender un sentimiento de gil, o algo como eso, y decirle a mí ese proceso, pero más, me gustaría escuchar tu experiencia de estar en el presente momento, en el presente. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias, Luis. Bueno, el sentimiento del momento es, se siente muy inocente, se siente como un niño, como un inocente wide-eyed, se siente muy inocente, y yo recuerdo en el curso en el que Jesús estaba diciendo la pregunta en el manual para los estudiantes, ¿cómo el profesor de Dios se convirtió en su día? Y Jesús respondió al profesor de Dios, la pregunta es superfluosa, y así es como me siento, es que, como a veces, las personas dicen, cada día puede ser como un canvas, como si eres un artista, y tienes tu paleta, y tienes todas tus colores. Yo estoy en México, tienen muchas colores aquí en México, es la temporada de flores ahora mismo. Cada día es de color, como en ese film con Robin Williams, ¿Qué sueños pueden venir? Es como si yo estuviera en una pintura, o sea, una pintura vanguardia. Pero el primer sentimiento es la cluelessidad, como no es un sentido de saber qué va a suceder o qué va a venir. Así que es ese estado de mente de realmente no enfocándose o escondido en las ideas del futuro, porque siento que eso es muy característico del momento. Es más como esa cancha de la cancha, déjame ser. En vez de que yo quiera así, o en vez de esto, quiero dirigir mi vida de esta manera o de esa manera, es más de las palabras de wisdoma, déjame ser. Es que todas las cosas sean exactamente las que están. Y con esta cluelessidad, hay un sentido de wonder. Yo creo que es como una plafalidad. Es muy, muy plafal. Justo como con los niños, pueden ser a veces así en el momento. Es un ejemplo de que no están pensando en el futuro, pero están en la glía. Hay una plafalidad plafalida. Y es por eso que, incluso cuando hago conversas como hoy, puedo romper la cancha o quién sabe qué. No sé qué va a venir. No sé qué va a venir. Y la broma es como ahora en este momento de los teléfonos y tabletas y digitales, yo tengo un calendario de papel. Y yo, de hecho, tengo que escribir cosas en mi calendario de papel, para mantener algo ahí, para hacer esto, tengo que poner 10 a.m. en mi calendario, para mostrar esto. Porque sin eso, no estoy pensando en eso. Y, a veces, a veces, porque no me quedo mucho en el calendario digital, cuando estoy en la glía o algo, alguien dice, ¿Quieres hacer algo en el futuro? Y yo creo, no sé qué es mi calendario de papel. Porque, yo no, yo realmente no holdo cosas como eso. Y también es lo mismo con el pasado. Si hay algo que voy a recordar, yo confiaré en el Espíritu, va a hacer esto obvio a mí. Pero, a veces, cuando empezé a viajar en el mundo, y yo fui alrededor y alrededor de 44 países, y muchas veces, yo tendría que ir a un planeo o a un taxi o a un carro, y la gente me cae y dice, ¡David! Y me caen y todo, y yo estoy mirando y no sé quién es. Cuando acabas de tener militares de amigos y van a ir a todos los ángeles, a veces, yo le doy un nombre, pero a veces, no. A veces, es solo la lluvia del momento, y yo no sé quién me cae o quién me cae, que es genial. Es fantástico no relar a la memoria, para ser tan enfocada. Así que esa es la cualidad de las dos. Es como un sentimiento de wonder y un sentimiento de desplazamiento. Es también un sentimiento de muy open-mindedness, así que yo llevo todos los tipos de invitations y yo lo encuentro muy contento. Como yo he tenido una invituación recientemente a un hombre que muy mucho él y su hija están muy mucho en la Biblia, y el Espíritu, el Espíritu, es muy mucho, es un viaje profundo con la Biblia, y así voy a ir a su canal de YouTube, el próximo mes, y no he tenido una interacción durante mucho tiempo, pero eso va a ser delightful. Es un sentimiento delightful a partir de donde el idioma no es mucho, o sea, es una lengua muy chica de cristianismo, una lengua muy biblica de la Biblia, pero yo me gusta todo tipo de encounters diferentes, yo no juro entre los pasos, yo disfruto el momento, yo disfruto el encuentro, yo disfruto la conexión, yo encuentro la unidad en la conexión, y y luego es a tu segunda pregunta, si el punto todo es de estar en el momento, si algo surge que no es el momento, es una tentación, es todo, es una tentación para no ser presenta, es, no importa la forma, no importa el ámbito o la dirección o todos esos otros tipos de cosas, es solo, es básicamente una tentación, y no es feliz, así que para mí, es como es como cuando si estás en un glider, te asustas con el viento, te asustas, como los flores, ellos actualmente florecen usando el viento, ellos están muy en armonía con el viento, eso es por eso que tienen sus cabezas y sus nubes para formar con ellos, y estar en ellos, y eso es realmente mi experiencia de mi vida, es ese sentimiento de conexión y de formar, y si algo surge, no es eso, entonces es que qué quiero, qué quiero en este momento, qué es tan precioso para mí, y eso me me trae más adentro, en esto, así que gracias, gracias por eso, y me siento como si estoy hablando de mí, como si lo hicierais, he dicho eso muchas veces, incluso una vez que me recuerdo, yo estaba viajando a Pennsylvania, en Estados Unidos, y mi teléfono kept bringing a un amigo, kept calling me on my teléfono, y ella estaba viajando a un muy largo tiempo, en realidad, yo diría que ella era suicidada, ella estaba viajando a un tiempo tan largo, y aún así, yo estaba viajando a las estrellas y las montañas de Pennsylvania, y yo estaría hablando a ella, y luego perdí la conexión del teléfono, y yo estaba viajando a un tiempo, hablando a mí misma, y luego yo seguiría viajando a las montañas, y luego, ocasionalmente, mi teléfono regresaría, y luego ella me llamó de nuevo, yo hablaba a ella, ella estaba suicidada, yo estoy viajando a las montañas, perdí la conexión del teléfono, yo sólo puse el teléfono, hablando a mí misma, aún hablando a mí misma, se ve en su mano, es una buena estado de mente, para recordar que siempre estamos enseñando lo que aprendimos, y siempre estamos realmente hablando a nosotros. Así que gracias, gracias Luis. Gracias, David. Bueno, vamos a pedirle que abra el micrófono a Dani, hijo, para que puedan hacer su pregunta, adelante. Hey, you teacher, I'm so lucky, lucky, oh my god, I've been wanting this to happen for a long time. In this occasion, I'm going to try to be very specific and because I really need this right now, and there's something that happened to me. I've been a very serious student of the course for like seven years. I'm in my second run, I could say. And are you there? Yeah. Okay, I'm back. I never had any student friends until recently, I connected with some guys on the internet and I went to meet them on the states. And one of them introduced me to a drug which I would actually never use. It was supposed to dissolve my ego. And I took it and I had the most awful, horrific experience I could ever have. It's kind of like, I would say maybe my ego took over and showed me a perspective on the course that's terrifying. And so I've been frightened for like a month now. I can't even sleep. And when I meditate, I feel like this pool, like I'm being forced to wake up. And right now I don't want to anymore, even though that's what I wanted. Of course, that's why I was doing the course and it was so joyful. And I was so faithful. And right now I'm terrified of what could happen next. What the Holy Spirit's got for me. I don't even know if it's part of the plan. Is it a mistake? My right and wrong minds are fighting so hard. And so that's it. I'm afraid to lose my wife. If I wake up suddenly, I don't know what's going on. Yeah. Well, yeah, I'm glad you're sharing this because it seems like we have to be able to take it in what Jesus refers to as like smaller steps. Because if it's too rapid, he says it will be more traumatic than be atypic. And he describes this in terms of like, that's why we have a text and that's why he has the lessons because it's a step-by-step program. And without careful study and careful practice that sometime later on we will make more of a direct approach to God. And if the foundation isn't laid, if the practice isn't like really strong in there, then he says it will seem more traumatic than be atypic. And what you're sharing is not unusual. I mean, over the years I have met people who went through what you went through with a drug experience. I've met people who went sometimes to a spiritual community that they just came out of it traumatized. Actually felt more sensitized, more traumatized when they came out than when they went in. They felt almost like they took two steps back with the course even though they sometimes were in this community for years. But then it was almost like they were shell-shocked by the experience. And so when I would travel around the world these shell-shocked people would come to me and say, help me, please. Can I go to breakfast or lunch or dinner with you? I have so much I want to join with you about. I have so much I want to explore. Y nosotros tendríamos un tiempo como 3 horas de diner y nos dejaron todo en mi presencia. Las memorias más terríficas, las cosas más chicas, tal vez se percibían físicamente, se percibían, literalmente físicamente, por esto. Y también tengo un amigo que me vino y dijo que tenía un número de experiencias de droga que me dejaron preocupados, confusados, frustrados, chocados, sentían que no podía cober, descubrir dificultades con vida de día. Y ella incluso había ido a China y se encontró en diferentes programas, monasterias, después de esta experiencia de droga, ella actualmente ha tenido unos años intentando reestabilizarlo, como si se rompiera su mundo, y ella había venido en contacto con un amigo de mí y luego ella finalmente vino a mí y y ella incluso había, hay otros drogas que ayudaron a ella un poco para reestabilizarlo, pero ella era muy rara de cualquier droga a ese punto, porque de la sorpresa que ella había con Ayahuasca, ella había justificado su mundo mucho, que ella se sentía muy disfuncional, y progresivamente ella iba a venir a algunos de mis colegas, y ya sabes, fue un tiempo para ella para venir y para permitir cosas a su superficie, que ella necesitaba dar permiso a ella, pero en una forma gentila, ella dijo, yo necesito hacerlo con vosotros, ella dijo, yo siento que necesito para realmente acelerar y venir a donde vivas o a la retrasa que haces, y empezar a, yo necesito construir mi confidencia de atrás, y ella sentía que eso era como un viaje de atrás con el curso de Miraclos, como un tipo de experiencias del droga que arruinó su mundo mucho, que ella lo perdió un poco de confianza en el curso, pero ella iba a venir poco a poco a venir de atrás, y así mentalmente, yo diría que parece que va de esa manera con la situación que estás describiendo, yo creo que fue solo hace un par de días en el que Tiger Woods, el golfo famoso, crece ahí en California, y sus brazos fueron severamente, severamente dañados, y él estaba justamente justamente venido a un turno de golf y iba a filmar algo en un estudio, y ahora es como lo escribiste, ahora el mundo ha sido arruinado, porque tenía que usar los brazos de la vida para incluso abrir la puerta, el carro fue tan arruinado para que le salga a él ahí, y ahora él va a tener que ir a reconstruir las operaciones, la rehabilitación, es lo mismo con otro actriz, Ashley Judd, ella fue en el congo, y ella se fue y básicamente perdieron casi perdieron el uso de un brazo, y hay que ser reconstruyendo las operaciones, intentando abrir el brazo para responder, y es lo que me siento que estás diciendo, sabes, tú tuviste una asimilación de tu vida, experiencia, y después de esta muy difícil experiencia con este broma, ha sido, ha sido traumatizando y ha sido deshabilitando. Entonces, aún que regresamos a las lecciones perdidas, sabes, una vez que estaba en Europa y en Holland, y alguien estaba diciendo es solo intensa, pero es solo parece ir tan lentamente, y yo estaba diciendo, sí, bueno, tal vez todos necesitamos ser perros para Dios, y me empezaron moviendo mis manos como para dejar, vamos a meterlo, sabes, eso es una metafora, perros para Dios, along con Ashley Judt, along con Tiger Woods, yo diría para ti que vas a tener que primero tienes que ser muy lento con ti, y tienes que estar muy fácil con ti, y lo mismo con las personas que me han metido que han sido traumatizados con algo alrededor del curso o algo en combinación con el curso, tal vez voy a llamar incluso a mis usas, el ego intentando usar el curso en combinación con algo para para te dejar querer dejar querer despertar, eso es lo que estás describiendo, así que quiero que te déjame saber que esto no es inusual que en mis años con el curso esto es bastante frecuente que el ego va a decir sabotaje intenta sabotajar la vida espiritual pero eso es por aquí estamos aquí para ti estoy aquí con ti y y se hace un paciente para una gentleness para continuar y decir ok como un botón de reset en un computador es como ok voy a tener que botar el botón de reset no voy a seguir llamar a mí o llamar a nadie y constantemente regresar a más angustia que muchas personas con ellos tienen que hacer mucho angustia que viene con algo como esto no generalmente recomiendo todo a estos tipos de drogas en el sentido de que he visto muchas veces es que cuando personas tienen un un muy muy muy experiente como lo has experiente que es que solo lo hace mucho para regresar de eso y y no recomiendo probar cosas y yo para mí que el curso desde que llegué a mi vida yo sabía que fue parte de mi casa de rodemap y puedo sentir este llamar a y en el longing pero también sentí que he aprendido a ser muy paciente con mi si porque sabía que yo tendría a ver muy intensidad experiencias yo recuerdo el manual para estudios y jesus hablaba 6 stages de la creación de confidencias y 4 de ellos fueron difíciles y entonces yo gracias por al menos poner eso al frente con mi porque yo me prefiero que a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a midıra diría mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi a mi en esta creación de el Jated no se no se numeró se plas Y eso es su objetivo. Cuando te experiencias alguna descompañada, se vuelve y veas el show. Pero si empezas a dar la felicidad, se va a venir como un guido negro para asegurar que hay un río ahí, así que no habrá ningún escape. Y cuando tienes una crisis, como estás pasando, intenta usar la crisis a sus finales, porque es una vez en tu mente para hacer una conclusión. Y es intentando usar la crisis para que te diga una conclusión sobre ti. Eso es su juego. Y es por eso que realmente necesitas tener la confianza. Porque es su juego. Es intentando usar la crisis con esta experiencia, con los drogas, para concluir algo sobre ti. Y eso es lo que he aprendido por los años, que Jesus diría, cuando, incluso cuando se fue muy intensa, me sentiría a Jesús su presencia y su luz diciendo, no concluye nada aquí, David. Estos son las ideas, pero no concluye nada de las ideas, porque eso es lo que la Iglesia quiere. Así que he podido resistir el deseo de concluir. Y decirle, tengo que mantenerlo abierto. Tengo que seguir abierto. No voy a abrir, desarrollar la confianza o la confianza si estoy cerrado y concluido. Así que no concluiré. Así que esa es mi parada para ti. Yo te rejo en eso. Que estemos juntos en esto, y que lo tomemos lentamente y fácilmente, como los perros para Dios. Y, vamos a dejarlo en un momento, en un paso, en un momento. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Dani, voy a leer algo que te escribió Corabic, uno de nuestros compañeros en el encuentro, y dice así, dice Dani, tuve una experiencia muy parecida a la que cuentas. Un día de gran desesperación. El Espíritu Santo me dejó ver que el ego estaba tan asustado por mi avance en el estudio y práctica del curso que comenzó a atacarme psíquicamente. Dejo esto aquí para ti, porque al comprender que todo era otra trampa de lego y que utilizó esta droga para intentar mantener su control sobre mí, porque bueno, no sigue allí, luego dice entrega tu miedo y dudas al Espíritu Santo. Recuerda que somos luz y la oscuridad nunca podrá apagarla, porque el ego no es real. Lo real no puede ser amenazado, tal como lo dice Jesús en un curso de mil años. Veo, sí. Sentí que era lindo compartírselo de alguien que había experimentado algo similar. Por aquí hay una pregunta escrita que siento compartir y es de Graciela. Graciela pregunta, David, significa que no debo ir a un psicoterapeuta del curso, que esté guiado por el Espíritu Santo a que me ayude a llegar al momento en el que emití un juicio que ahora no recuerdo y que parece que me está provocando una enfermedad y que sola no he podido descifrar. Y entonces lo que debo hacer es acudir, enfocarme en el instante presente para sanar. Gracias. Sí, gracias. Bueno, ya estás en la mente cuando sabes que es como una decisión en la mente que ha sido escondida, escondida de la acusación. Así que eso es un característico del sistema de acusación de la ego. Es que es muy oscuro y la mente se despliega por pushing it de la acusación a la unconscious. Y así en términos de la enfermedad o la enfermedad es el resultado de una decisión unconscious y de la acusación que está escondida en la mente. Es como si la mente está sufriendo en algún sentido y quiera jugar un juego o hacer un compromiso y proyectarlo hacia el cuerpo. Porque el cuerpo y el diagnóstico con el cuerpo es una acusación de un sentido y una decisión que es profunda en la mente que ha sido puesta de la acusación. Así que la práctica de la acusación es que trae la acusación a la luz y es para dar permiso para permitir la acusación y los sentimientos que vienen para permitirlos mover a tu acusación y luego para solucionarlos. Y eso es el fútbol de venir al momento presente. El fútbol en el pasado y en el futuro es solo mantenido por la acusación. Así que es por eso que alguien parece ser traído a este mundo es porque hay algo que todavía mantiene una acusación en la mente. Y luego lo que parece ser el mundo del sueño es el acto de la acusación, el juego de la acusación. Y te mencionaste como un psicoterapista o incluso un curso de psicoterapistas en milagro. Sí, hay personas que son, puedes llamar a los estudiadores, algunos son de los psicoterapistas, algunos son de los educadores que están llamados para enseñar lo que tienen que aprender y para practicar el curso. Y incluso en la ciencia religiosa o la ciencia cristiana son los estudiadores, los que usan la parada, la parada de la parada para unir a la verdad en la mente. Así que hay muchos simboles en este mundo y la principal cosa es la parada de la mente. Si te pregunten para la ciencia, puedes confiar en que los simboles que te van a mostrar serán los que son perfectos para que te sientan. No hay persona que viene a nuestra vida por accidente. No hay un libro que llegue a nuestra vida por accidente. Cuando pregunten para la parada, pregunten que el Espíritu nos irá en una forma que podemos relacionar y aceptar como como ayudas. Esto despliega la proyección. La ego siempre está intentando llevarse a la ciencia por verla actuar en el mundo. Pero, por la perdida con estos simboles, nosotros nos dejamos de la creencia en la mente. Y esa es la forma en la que ocurre. Así que es muy intento tener situaciones o personas o incluso una diagnóstica del cuerpo. Es muy mucho un truco para intentar tener que estén enfocados en la forma en vez de despliegar nuestra parada para ir a la ciencia. Así que muchas gracias por llevarlo. Es un ejemplo muy común para muchos personas. Sí. ¡Ladio! ¡Claro! Gracias. David, bueno, Elisa tiene una pregunta y vamos a abrirle su micrófono. Elisa, por favor, recuerda hablar despacio. Gracias, bienvenida. ¡Hola, David! Me voy a hablar de ti otra vez. Sí, escuché lo que dices antes. He tenido que hablar, pero tenemos que estar dispuestos a dejar la oscuridad subir a la acuerda y relicirlo. Pero me encuentro a mí mismo ir a todo el oscuridad, casi a la mayoría del día. Y estoy justificando si es normal. Si estoy en el right path. No lo sé más porque también he escuchado lo que dices. Dice a mí que la vida no es solo sobre depresión y emociones heavyes y miedo y todo eso. Y sí, pero tengo que decir que la mayoría de mis días son cumplidos con ansiedad y miedo. Y he intentado dejarlo ser, dejarlo subir. Y me pregunto, le dije eso a usted, a Dios y al Espíritu. Y creo que sí que ayuda, pero estoy solo preguntando ¿estoy haciendo algo de culpa? ¿estoy conviertes en ellos? ¿es inusurär o lo es? O ¿estoy haciendo la misma cosa? No lo sé. También te agradezco que tienen este... El negocio en frente de mi apartamento tienen estas iluminaciones, notaciones y de noticias. y en todo el día, y yo solo puedo verlos, no sé lo que es el problema y lo dices que cuando pregunten para la curación, y eso es lo que he estado haciendo he estado pregunting para la curación por meses y luego tenemos que creer que los símbolos que vienen en el mundo o el exterior son los símbolos exactamente que necesitamos para la curación no sé si estos símbolos que por alguna razón me están asustando mucho son perfectos símbolos, porque no sé por qué, pero me siento muy afectada y asustada, no puedo esconderlos en frente de... o sea, puedo verlos en mi cajón y en la noche, realmente me asustan y después de hablar con el autor, tenía mi hermana, hablaba con el autor yo incluso... tengo... estoy quedando en el cajón de la ciudad involucrado en estos símbolos para que puedan añadirles a los paneles de noticias porque son tan iluminados pero no sé qué hacer y yo, realmente, estoy muy frustrada y yo incluso pienso, oh my God, tal vez mis hermanos y sus hermanas estarán como, ¿realmente? es que se siente tan malo sobre eso no es tan serio, pero en mi experiencia no sé qué es causando en mi unconscious pero me siento tan tensa, tan anguista, tan enfadada no puedo llevarlo más me siento como morir, ir a otro lugar donde puedo encontrar paz no sé y tengo una lisa de un año en este apartamento no puedo dejar, supongo, pero no sé qué hacer y también quiero compartir con vosotros que estoy feliz, que estoy sola en mi apartamento porque siento que puedo hablar con Jesús sin... pensar que... sin... mi familia pensando que estoy malo porque estoy hablando o nada y yo amo el hecho de que estoy aquí y puedo... ir más profundo en mi conexión con Jesús yo amo eso yo take that as an opportunity de... conectar en una muy... verdadera manera profunda con Él así que estoy feliz por esta oportunidad pero tengo que decirles que me siento muy... desgraciada sobre el hecho de que esto está... en el exterior me siento en la desgracia de otras personas del mundo, como esas lisas están realmente causando esta enorme estresa en mí y... y me siento que no tengo el poder de justificarlos y... estar en paz así que estoy como, por favor ¿qué voy a hacer? sé que una hermana me dijo que voy a intentar hacer algo en la forma pero me está creciendo y... pensé que voy a intentar trabajar en mi mente y estoy intentando eso, pero... no puedo llevarlo más y... necesito ayuda mucha ayuda porque no sé si estoy haciendo esto a mí como... estoy escuchando a mí o estoy haciendo todo esto a mí no lo sé pero... y todo lo que tienes en cuenta es tan hermoso, pero estoy muy deprimida he woken- he went to bed very late last night and I only slept 5 hours so I came... I worked early in the morning and I came to hear to you and I was listening to you and I was like, no quiero I don't want to miss what he p the chat window pops up and I'm like, I don't want to see the chat window I want to listen to David en mi pregunta y no estoy... no estoy quedando ni catching todo lo que te estás diciendo. Así que por favor, necesito mucha ayuda, mucha ayuda. Porque quiero esto para cambiar, quiero el algo del exterior para cambiar. Quiero esos light off, por favor. Y quiero ser en paz y feliz, y no quiero sentir silencio y desesperar, como estoy sentando ahora. Y esta es la última cosa. También tengo esta miedo cuando pienso en ir a ese negocio y enfrentar a la owner. Pero siento mucha miedo porque creo que voy a explotar porque estoy muy cansada y estoy afortunada de que podría atacarme o hacer algo a mí y me siento defensivo. Completamente vulnerable y ese sentimiento es horrible. Ahora mismo no sé por qué tengo un terrible crámico de estómagos. No sé si es relacionado con lo que estoy compartiendo, pero es horrible, es el crámico de mi estómago. Pero, sí, necesito mucha ayuda y estoy afortunado. Estoy afortunado, pero estoy afortunado de ser guiado. Por supuesto, hay miedo. Tengo que decir esto, pero, sí, necesito mucha ayuda porque quiero estar en paz y feliz y sentir poderoso. Así que, gracias. Estoy un poco desfragada, pero gracias. OK, gracias. Gracias, Lisa. Bueno, cuando hablamos en los días anteriores, tuvimos algunas cosas similares con la familia y la miedo de su hermano, solo como tu miedo de enfrentar a la owner del negocio. Esa es la manera en la que funciona. Cuando tenemos ideas de atacos en nuestra mente, entonces la proyección es que nos miedo a un ataque a nosotros, porque eso es lo que el mundo hace, es que nos acceda a nuestras ideas. Y, recientemente, estaba mirando este film de Selma Hayek, llamado Bliss, donde hay un cambio de escenario. Y tú definitivamente tuviste un cambio. Tuve un operador de sopa llamado All In The Family, y ahora tienes un cambio en el centro de rehabilitación, el centro de rehabilitación de aluminio, donde te vas a estar por ti mismo y hacer tus ideas sin las aventuras de la familia cereal también. Pero esta es la manera en la que todo se va. Nos movemos de un ámbito de circunstancias a otro, y luego todavía tenemos que enfrentar nuestras ideas en nuestra mente. Pero también me enfocaría en la gratitud, te sientes, de poder estar ahí sola, hablar con Jesús, para prestar, también si te puedes dormir, o si te puedes, o si te puedes despliegar o no. No hay nadie que te judging, y no tienes todo en la familia que está pasando, así que no tienes mamá, o tu hermano, o otros que vienen, diciendo, ¿qué está pasando, Elisa? Tienes solo las ideas, las ideas raras de estas luces afuera. El lado de tu face es abierto. Estamos disfrutando la luz que están produciendo, en el centro de rejuegos alumnos que has entrado en. Así que, como un star de Hollywood, tú eres el star del show para todos en la familia, pero ahora te has investigado en el centro de rejuegos, y no hay drogas involucradas, así que solo tienes una sesión de tanning, en el centro de rejuegos. Y la otra cosa es, cuando la fe es tan intensa, recuerda lo que Jesus dice, que a veces una mezcla de magia y mirada es necesaria para ayudarte, porque si hay mucho miedo, entonces, tienes que salir de la fe. Así que, yo sugiero, algunas raras, rojas, oscuras, como magia, estoy prescrabando a ti. Dr. David está escribiendo su prescripción para el star que está en el centro de rejuegos para unas raras, longas, rojas, rojas de rojas. Puedes tomar dos de ellos y cerrarlos. Creo que tenemos tantas manos, Lisa. Yo sé que eres un star de todos en la familia, pero tenemos que dejar algunos de los otros estados que están en el centro de rejuegos. Ellos tienen sus manos digitales. Pero estás conmigo, y estoy conmigo. Estoy muy conmigo en esto. Gracias, David. Jesún, Jason, voy a solicitarte abrir el micrófono para que puedas hacer tu pregunta. Hola, David. Hola, Jason. Tengo mi café también. Esto ha sido una excelente sesión. Me bajé mi mano, porque todo el mundo estaba preguntando preguntas que no pensé que podría relacionarse. Pero la pregunta que quería preguntar fue sobre hacer un mensaje. Recuerdo en otro paro que te dijiste que tu estabas escuchando a Jesús para dejar el guilte en el pasado. Dice que no hiciste nada mal en el pasado, David. Pero no hiciste nada mal, nada más. Y creo que es interesante. Es totalmente non-dual. Es un non-dual. He escuchado a Eckhart Tolle por un par de años en el libro. Y luego me introdujo a un montón de prácticas non-duales. Estuve estudiando budismo. Y luego a Rupert Spira. Y ahora a Bhagavan, tengo uno de sus libros en el mailbox. Y así pensé, no es interesante, pero en un programa 12-step el 9-step el programa es sobre aclarar el reto de tu pasado y aclarar el 9-step y luego el 10-step es hacer un daily inventory y hacer recomendaciones casi inmediatamente si puedes, para que no sigas construyendo residuos. Y luego el 9-step es sobre hacer un mensaje. Y... me he dicho que por suerte, todos mis mensajes son, por favor, que es lo mejor que puedes hacer o es todo sobre las relaciones o hacer recomendaciones directas. Y el más difícil que incluso mi sponsor tenía que ir a su sponsor porque no sabía la respuesta. Y eso fue... es el que realmente todo el trabajo es muy sticks. A suffering y finally he been in a dream a couple nights to go and then I kind of dwelled in it for a while and then I had a therapy session and I just Murided and now I know why that movie Patrick had such an impact on me. But No he visto a mi hija mucho en dos años. En 2020 creo que la única vez que vi ella fue el 4 de julio. Justo invité a ella por mensaje de texto. Se convirtió con su amigo su abuelo por un par de horas y estuve muy feliz. Y no lo he visto nunca. Y ella no dijo felicidad a mi birthday en noviembre. No gracias a su birthday en diciembre. No gracias por ver el ego. Yo le doy... No incluso un gracias, un mensaje de texto. Y, por supuesto, eso es como... Bueno, ok, déjalo. Porque he estado intentando hacer esto. Pero mi sponsor no sabe si debería hacer mensajes directos. Y he hablado con mucha gente sobre esto. Y un hombre dijo que nunca ha hecho mensaje a su hija. Y fue a su hija por 21 años. Pero a su hija, finalmente, fue a su hija por 5 años. Y, incluso aquí, aquí de ella. Y luego, 21 años después, a su hija, finalmente dijo, ¡Me amo a tu padre! Y esto es un muy fuerte paso que tengo que no sé qué hacer. Gracias, gracias. Es una excelente, excelente sesión. Me aprecio mucho. Me ayudas mucho más que sabes. Me siento como que veo a ti todo el día, todos los días. Y he conocido a ti por años. He sido... Gracias, Jason. Creo que puedes ver que Dios sabe la parada de tu corazón. Entonces, con el sentimiento de tu hija que viene, y este sentimiento, como dices, es extraño de tu hija y deseo más contacto y así y así. Cada vez que deseamos algo en el mundo para ser diferente, tenemos una tentación de la ego para ser traídas a tiempo, para ser traídas away desde el momento presente. Y la parada de tu corazón es realmente invitar al Espíritu y decir que te daré una relación con mi hija a ti. Y creo que hay algunos pasos que están conectados con esto y es por eso que no siento muy bien. No siento el amor que quiero sentir, pero puedes entrar en tu cadena interior y puedes darlo al Espíritu con confianza que sé que te correctará todos mis pasos mis errores porque tienes la habilidad y el poder para hacer eso y tengo la posibilidad de poner esto en el altar y decir, aquí está. No sé qué hacer con esto. No sé cómo resolverlo, pero en el presente de este momento, puedes darlo al Espíritu y decir, sé que te correctará todos mis pasos mis errores en cuanto a esto. Y eso es cómo poderoso mi corazón es y eso es cómo poderoso la parada es. Y entonces cuando vamos por una fuerte vida de parada y eso abre la forma para que la apariencia sea usada por el Espíritu. Y muchas personas me han dicho que han hecho la parada y entonces, más tarde, más tarde, la apariencia viene y tienes un sonido en tu face. Es como, ¡ah! Sí, ahí está. Pero realmente lo que estás haciendo es que te dieres el tiempo para el Espíritu. Tienes que decir, no estoy en riesgo, no voy a intentar controlarlo y no voy a golpear a mí y hacer mis errores basados en estas apariencias que no fueron la forma que esperaba. Voy a sinceramente dar todos mis pasos mis errores y saber que el Espíritu les llevará. Y luego se puede hacer el Espíritu. Y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, Esther, con su manito levantada. Esther, ya puedes habitar tu audio. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
