 Let go everything that you believe, even about God's intervention in this world. God intervening. A lot of us have grown up with concepts of God intervening. And what he's saying is, you didn't see what was, you saw what you wanted to see. That's the teachings of the Course in Miracles. Everything that's perceived in this world is coming from our desire to see a world apart from God. To see what God did not create. Through belief. This world is generated through belief. And God doesn't believe. God has no beliefs whatsoever. It's just pure divine love. Just pure is-ness. Pure oneness. And so that is a very, very, very deep teaching of the Course that you perceive what you believe. If you spot it, you got it. Anything that you perceive in this world, including even divine interventions, is still coming from your belief system. And the Holy Spirit can use those things. Certainly was using a lot of those things with Joan of Arc. You know, she was having, like all of us, we get signs and symbols along the way. And they're very, very helpful to us. We couldn't move on without these signs of assurance, of comfort, of your moving in the right direction. Even you meet somebody where you see a particular sign of maybe a cross somewhere laying in the grass. Or just when you pray for a symbol, you know, like when Armelle was sharing, you know, she was going through this darkness and she said, You're going to have to send someone or you're going to have to show- You're going to have to send me a sign and then Francis shows up. And there it is. That's like for Joan. Very confirming. But this particular scene is where Holy Spirit is saying, you know, simply do this. Be still. Lay aside all thoughts, all concepts of what you are. The signs were just to kind of give you inspiration to help you along the way. Some of you might think of like whenever, has anybody ever heard of like a treasure map? Okay. Now what is the purpose of a treasure map? To find a treasure. I mean what good would a treasure map be unless you find a treasure? Would you say that the map had fulfilled its purpose if you didn't find the treasure? If you stopped, maybe unless you got through like seven instructions and directions and then you just went, I give up. Would you say that the map had served its purpose? Yes it did. It was I who didn't follow. So you would say that that would be an insight. But still the purpose of a treasure map is to find the treasure. It's a direction to find it. A lot of times we talk about being spiritual seekers. What I'm saying is why not be a finder? You know, I mean wouldn't that be the point? A spiritual seeking is to seek and find. Knock and the door shall be opened. You know, actually to have the door open to the gateway to the kingdom of heaven. Now let's just think for a moment of a course of miracles as like a treasure map or I'll call it a road map. But not like an atlas. Not to try to take you to a physical destination. But it's a road map designed to take you to the kingdom of heaven within. Within your mind, within your heart. Past all of the beliefs, past all of the perceptions, all of the emotions, all of the thoughts into the kingdom of heaven within. And the point then would be if you, when Jesus says you will believe this course entirely or not at all, what's he emphasizing? He's emphasizing the find. You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. That's what it's about. The point of working with the Course in the end would be to let go of the Course because it's still perception. It's still form. There's a great line in the Course that says, God knows not form. Oh! Sublime. And the beyond all idol section. Isn't that a cute sweet little sentence? God knows not form. So let's put a little bit of divine logic with that. If God knows not form and I want to know God, what is it going to take if I put those two sentences together? The Disappearance of the Universe, which my friend Gary has written about. It's going to take a revelatory experience that literally lifts you up into Christ's vision that is literally higher, that's literally prior to form, actually. Beyond form. Because God is real, love and light are real and form is not. Now these are deep metaphysics. This is what we're talking about, getting really clear of the metaphysics of the Course in Miracles. Because as you grasp what I'm talking about, it's going to make those workbook lessons so much more meaningful. Like, if you get what I'm talking about right here, when you get to lesson 128, you're going to be happy instead of shocked. Because lesson 128 is, the world I see holds nothing that I want. And if you get the metaphysics of what I'm talking about, you'll be going, hallelujah, thank you Jesus. And, you know, he does say in that lesson, he starts off one of his sentences, the only value that this world has, and you lean forward in your chair, oh goody, I've been waiting for this the whole book, the only value that this world has is that you pass it by and look no further for this world. That was actually, if some of you have heard about the Gospel of Thomas, everything, be passers by. That's what he's talking about. He comes right back with it in the Course. The world I see holds nothing that I want. I had a friend of mine in Kentucky one time who told me, he set up a gathering for me, and then I was talking about lesson 128, the world I see holds nothing that I want. And he goes, oh I quit the book at that point. I actually shut the book. And I said, you shut the book. I said, why did you shut the book on 128? And he said, because I thought to myself, no, no, no, no, no. I don't agree. He looked at me and I said, oh, but 129 is such a glorious lesson. And he goes, what's 129? And I said, it's beyond this world, it's a world I want. The world of the forgiven world, the happy dream, the quantum field that I talk about so much. That's what I want. I want to be happy. I want to see the world in a happy way, where I see only happiness everywhere, always, every direction I look. I want happiness. That's what 129 is. But you see, this is what he does. He rips the rug out from under you. And just when you're laying there, he scoops you up. He goes, yes, because beyond this world is the world I want. He knocks the table legs out. And then he goes, and I love you so much. Come home with me. This world will never satisfy you. So that's what we mean by God doesn't know of this world. And that's what we also mean by, whenever the temptation comes to anthropomorphize God, make God into a concept, make God into a white man, an old white man with a long beard, some of these paintings in Europe, and so forth over the years. Those are just attempts to anthropomorphize God to give God human characteristics. You know, the Sistine Chapel, the little finger and all this. You know, these are just attempts to make God, you know, it's like in the Bible it says in Genesis, God created man in his likeness and image, which was spirit, not flesh. And then man returned the favor, created God and man's likeness and image. That's where we have the word anthropomorphizing.
