 I noticed that I have the thought that if I stay in this state of mind that feels like mind, I'll feel so disoriented and so disinterested. I won't be used or that I won't be of any help for it. And then I think, well, then who is that I that would be used or be of help? Well, you've got to start with more. I just made one substitution. I now choose the correction for that substitution. Take care of that. That's the end of the tentative this week. That's the end of the struggle with my career. That's out of the world. I mean, just give in. That's our purpose now, is to join together and take a look and come back to God and not deny the projections but go deeper into where we've made substitutions and adjustments then. Yes. We're projecting which is a lot about what we've been going through. And to help remind each other that it is possible that it's not overwhelming. Well, I would draw the very sense sort of world out here. But the reason I put these little gaps in here and made these little funnels is that everyone who believes they're here has a private world. Take care of that. You know, again, it seems like there's some actors out there. It's like in nighttime dreams, you know, we talked about when someone goes to sleep and they dream all these, these characters and interactions and it's all just generated from the mind. Well, he says it's the same with your daytime dreams. Everything that you think is from your wrong mind. You're just seeing a private world that has no overlap. There is a place in the course where we talked about it pretty specifically that might be helpful. Is it 231? Yeah. It starts on page. Okay, so this is chapter 13 and it's section 5, the two emotions. He's talking about love and fear. And then, again, just like the section we just read on fear, this is a little bit earlier in the text. The other has many forms. He's talking about fear. The other has many forms, but the content of individual illusions differs greatly. Yes, they have one thing in common. They are all insane. They are made of sites that are not heard. They make up a private world that cannot be shared for they are meaningful only to their maker and so they have no meaning at all. In this world, their maker moves alone for only he perceives them. Each one peoples his world with figures from his individual past and it is because of this a private world is too different. Yet the figures that he sees were never real for they are made up only of his reactions to his brothers and do not include their reactions to him. I believe again, but it's kind of like saying whenever you're upset with your brother, you're just seeing one of your own attacks projected in the concept of lazy slob and you're seeing it acted out and thinking that there's somebody else and you may think that this shadow figure is neat and orderly in contrast. It's almost like seeing a hologram and then project it out and you're not really seeing the whole. You're just seeing half of it. Half of it, you don't see much. Therefore, he does not see he made them and that they are not whole. For these figures have no witnesses being perceived in one separate mind only. So that would be like in this each little one here has people his whole world. Including this figure, this seems to be the subject and Michael projected out of this one mind. Now it seems, I put a bunch of them around there because that's the way it seems to be that there's all these different ones. Between the private world what looks like flower petals. It just meant to be a representation of that. That separates them. Another thing you could look at is the petals that seem to extend out from the right mind. Jesus not only says in here that the private world can't be shared but he says only can be shared. So you could even look at the white petals in that sense it's kind of like true communication. There's no darkness. All of the investment in bodies and to really see our brother as the mind. Get rid of the dark corners now before we can become a teacher of God. And as long as the mind is paying attention and really buying what the body's eyes are seeing and hearing it seems like an impossible task. How can I bring in that person? They raped my daughter or they murdered my father or they stole and robbed my grandmother for unforgiveness. But again, that's the shadow figures. You made it up that way. You believed you were guilty you looked for witnesses of guilt bingo. They were given to you not in truth. And what the world teaches is religions are absolutely true and you have ever reason not to forgive that person. You're absolutely right to have that and if you smile through it you are insane. Put that person away. You know? Pollyanna. That's right, you're in the wild. Yeah, exactly. That's the world's interpretation of Pollyanna. Pollyanna just didn't criticize and judge in the world's interpretation now it's become a word. That's Pollyanna. That's a pious guy. That's wishful thinking. I think I'm still not clear though do we see bodies and just project on them what we want to see or are we all not really here? This is just a statement of my imagination. The second thing that you said is not like That's what I thought it was saying Yeah, it seems pretty drastic because again, a lot of times people will say well bodies are bodies and it's what you're the meaning you're giving to them but it's the judgment that made the bodies in other words the bodies and all the fragmented world is just the out-texturing of the insane thought The world disappears too. What are you seeing David? The edges where the background people have light of it so don't be frightened the teacher has traveled this rather before so he's just left behind I could wrote that, yeah he talks about light of it I think it's in lesson 13 it is in one of the lessons but there's a lesson that there should be light to look for and generally what I see again is described in the teacher's manual where it says the body's eyes will still see differences but the healed mind will put them all into one category it's kind of like it's with the body's eyes you still seem to hear differences with the body's ears but instead of having all these different categories and believing the reality of them you know you as you follow the metaphysics you start to see great lightness and joy and defenselessness comes with that now what we were going over with the movie last night was the ego doesn't want there to be this one box in the mind that everything's unreal that's to be mind to believe that the split is on the screen that there really are good guys we talked about a lot of them after the movie last night not to buy the base and not to split it up and as soon as you make that split the one who's doing the taking advantage then that's buying the base and they certainly wouldn't then be both unreal one seems to be dominating another that would just mean that you believe in the split and you don't have that single box what's being described is like the end point you know it's like you still have to bring it back to okay well that sounds all well and fine but where am I if this sounds like what we were talking about earlier it sounds like hey this is a fairy tale or whatever where I am and in the course says yes don't pretend to be something you're not or pretend to understand something you don't or pretend to not feel something
