 It does seem like the linear time, the belief in linear time is at the bottom of everything of this world. So, when we pull the plug on guilt, we're really loosening from this assumption of linear time. I know a lot of times when I think to go around the world and travel, time is just so assumed. And I have to tell this story at the beginning because I went to Australia one time and I took a flight from, I don't know if it was Queensland to another, they have different states down there, but we flew from one place to another. And just as the plane was landing, the man who was sitting in the seat next to me had not spoken to me the whole trip, just turned to me as the plane was coming down towards the runway. And he just said, you know time is a crazy thing. And it was the first words that he did say hi or anything. He didn't speak to me on the whole trip, he just turned to me and said, time is a crazy thing. And I said, tell me about it. And he went as the plane was landing. Hi Joe. Welcome. Good to see you again. Oh, our friends are piling in here. So I said, tell me about it. And he said, well, he went on to tell me the story about how he has a house that's right in between two different states in Australia. And he had a cell phone plan where he had three minutes in one state. And the other one he didn't have. He got lots of other charges. And I think one day he forgot and maybe made a call from his back porch and got some astronomical bill from the cell phone company because his house was literally divided into two cell phone territories based on the political boundaries. And he was telling me this whole story as we're landing about how time is a crazy thing that he got charged all this money just because there's a time zone running through the middle of his house. And those are the kind of things that start to remind us that time is relative. Like Einstein said, that time and space are part of the same illusion. Jesus talks about that in the Course as well. And that's why we're in heaven, we're used to stableness and we're used to constancy. We're used to constant love in heaven. And in time, space continuum, there's nothing that's constant. And so that's why when we have irritabilities and annoyances, things that come up, it doesn't matter what it seems to be about or even if we're just slightly annoyed and slightly irritated, it's just this reverberation that in time and space being identified as a time-space being is really far from what we actually are as eternal beings at home and God. And so all the problems that we seem to experience on Earth, we could say throughout the course of the lifetime are really, it's like a fish out of water. Imagine a fish flipping on the beach out of water. It's like we seem to have taken on a mask or construct of being a human being when we're actually spirit. So it's very much like the fish out of water. You can never be content in anywhere except in that natural state of beingness that you were created in by God. And that's where all the seeming problems and issues come on in Earth is trying to like be a fish out of water. Fish wouldn't last very long on the beach. It would probably flip, flip, flip, flip and shake around a bit and then die. And that's pretty much what humans do. They kind of flip, flip, flip, flip and shake around a bit and then they die. It's quite similar to the fish on the beach because they're not in their natural environment, which is heaven or nirvana or eternity. So today we're going to be sharing, we're just going to be joining with you and it's almost like that's the graciousness of the spirit. It joins us in the mind wherever we believe we are, whatever we believe we are, whatever condition we believe we're in, the spirit reaches us and it's like take my hand and we're going back to eternity. We're going back to everlasting happiness, not just the little blimmers that we have here and there. I was talking to a Syrian friend of mine today and she's now, she made it out of Syria and now she's in Dubai but it's taken her years to kind of make it out of Syria and she was talking to me how limited she felt her life was in rural Syria and she was telling me today how when she was much younger she was just looking at her limited life and looking at Syria in general saying, you know, being a girl over in Syria she felt that her opportunities were very, very limited but she noticed how fake everybody felt, like the community, her family felt fake the community felt fake, the country felt fake, the cultural felt fake everything felt like it was superficial, like everything just glossing things over, superficial like everybody's going around going through the motions but there's no real depth or authenticity so she told me today she wrote when she was younger in an article I wish something would come along to my country to really shake things up to shake us out of our fakeness and she said, I wrote that before the war so we got Assad and United States and Russia oh it shook up in the last few years it really shook up a lot and she got out to another thing that she says it's still, I still don't feel free I still don't feel like I'm in my natural environment she just prays and prays to God, you know, to know God and to not be attached to anything and she just keeps praying and praying please God show yourself to me, reveal yourself to me and her circumstances seem to be shifting a little bit here and there but now she can't really get out of Dubai her Syrian passport is not really accepted in many countries she might be able to make it over to India or a few places but it's all just symbols, everything in this world that seems to be a limitation even travel limitations are just part of this police system that we still are something that we're not and even when we have people that seem to be affluent and famous and mobile, they can fly to any country they want to almost at any time it's still not the freedom of knowing our home, our true self in God you know, it seems to be in the world of degrees it seems to be greater degrees of freedom although in the Course in Miracles Jesus says, what do you want? freedom of the body or freedom of the mind for both you cannot have he juxtaposes the mind and the body and he says one, if you search for it in the mind, you'll find it if you find the true freedom, if you search for it in the body you will only find hallucinations of it or substitutes for it and you can delude yourself into thinking even that you're a free person you know, the Cold War, the Iron Curtain or slavery or various forms of imprisonment like Gandhi and Mandela and so forth those are all illusions of slavery and then the ones who seem to live in free countries the free enterprise system free, you know, even though we're told there's no free lunch and you've got to pay for everything there's seemingly these degrees of freedom and those are illusions of freedom because all of them are still related to body self-concept and what we're learning from the Course is true freedom has nothing to do with the body actually, you might say escape from the body escape from the linear time-space continuum would be true true freedom so that's really what we're here to talk about today is true redemption, true emancipation true freedom I bet there's a song in there around that do you look at me like I just love it, you're like so that's what we're here to talk about today just the end of the time and space continuum that's right well, we're the guilt unravelers let's unplug the beast let's do a good job of that
