 We weren't really designed for this world. As I said, we were created in grace and Jesus says you will never be Be able to adapt or adjust to this world You will never be able to adapt and adjust to time and space. Why? God didn't create it Why you're a perfect holy innocent child of God and you're only happy in your natural environment and that is spirit that is Eternity you want to find eternal happiness. You really want to find happiness at last you have to go to the environment where the happiness is The kingdom of heaven is within But Christ is our identity in the kingdom of heaven. Christ has not left the kingdom of heaven Of course in miracles is a pathway of bringing illusions to the truth it doesn't want you to There's nothing in the course that says manifest There's nothing in the course that that says That you should try to find the truth in the illusion There's nothing in the course that says bring God into this world and go around preaching God and talking about God and Bringing God into your daily life No, Jesus is saying what you perceive as your daily life is an illusion that is made up of Beliefs and thoughts in your mind and you need to bring those beliefs and thoughts to the light within and they will disappear But don't try to bring the light into the projection This is a world of projection and the attempt Jesus tells us that projection is the attempt to get rid of something that you do not want Well The only way that you can actually get rid of something that you do not want if you finally get to the point where you say I do not want the ego don't project the ego Because that's not how you're gonna let it go. You have to forgive it. You have to you have to reel in the projections Yes, of course, you'll be tempted to get upset with people you'll be tempted to get upset with with Temperatures with noises with sounds with with animals with pets. You'll you'll be tempted many many times to get upset with something on the screen of the world Tempted to be upset with the images something's not right with this picture as the ego is always saying something's not right with the picture But it's always pointing to the picture and Jesus is saying no I'm giving you a workbook that if you practice my workbook It will train your mind to withdraw the projection And when you start to realize I'm never upset for the reason I think and then when you start to realize I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts You will start to bring your attention back to your mind and that's exactly where the attention needs to be Not on the people not on the situations not on the things not on the the political dramas breaks it and all these and the saving the environment and and Going green and doing all these things that are very either popular or unpopular depending on on your beliefs, but Jesus is saying no you need to withdraw the projections and bring it back. Why do I have to do that because he's saying To forgive you first have to realize that these are all thoughts and beliefs in your mind You're not going to be able to let it go as long as you're seeing it as outside of you As long as you're seeing yourself as a person and all these things going wrong in This body and outside of this body You're at the mercy of the ego you've you have bought the ego's belief system hook line and sinker and You're sinking You're a captive to the ego if you believe in the projection But to the extent that you can withdraw the projection and just pay attention to your thoughts and just pay attention to your feelings and Just pay attention to your beliefs. You are Withdrawing the projection and you're bringing it back to your mind Why is it so helpful? Why is that so? Absolutely helpful. Well, the ego made up this time-space cosmos to keep you mindless It doesn't want to know that you even have a mind You know even in many scientists, they won't talk about the mind. They talk about the brain But the brain's part of the body the brain is a projection You know those little neurotransmitters the that's not thinking that's the projection of thought those little neurotransmitters That gray matter in there that doesn't do any thinking that gray matter is just gray matter It's a projection. It's a projection of the mind So remember when you look at this world that this world was made by the ego to keep you mindless To keep you mindless As any of you when you were growing up, you know You you go to these classes and you go to science classes you go to biology class you learn all these things a Bunch of hogwash. I'll tell you I can tell you after ten years of university. I now see that It was brainwashing. It was mindwashing. I was I was off on ego pursuits trying to learn The much to do about nothing until I finally saw it was much to do about nothing, but people will say well Mother's instincts or an animal's instincts The body doesn't have instincts the body's a projection everything instincts are Ego concepts projected on to the body The reflex instinct no your your body doesn't even have a reflex instinct That's just another concept the whole ego belief system is concepts projected onto a screen For one reason to make you mindless to forget about your mind Why is it so important that the ego is telling you to forget about your mind because it wants you to forget about your thoughts and And why would you want to forget about your thoughts except that somewhere deep down inside you believe that you've Separated from God and you've tried to rip your thoughts apart away from the creator and that you've Had the power to miscreate and you've had the power to make a whole new kingdom Other like other than the real kingdom you see the egos got a big story going on in there Like you need to make sure you stand clear of God Because it's saying God will will kill you will strike you blind God will destroy you if you ever come back That's the whole ego teaching he's he goes saying don't think you can just go back and get off Scott free and The Holy Spirit is teaching you never did what you thought you did You could believe it, but you couldn't make it so God isn't angry. God loves you Jesus told the parable of the prodigal son over and over when he was on earth That the even the son that seemed to squander his inheritance and was out feeding the pigs was welcome back Back home come home. I love you so That's the truth of it We're being called home and welcomed home and the egos got this big fearful puff of Nothingness that's trying to convince us that we're guilty that we've sinned that that God will will kill us if we return so these are the two Thought systems that you're dealing with one that's that it's all pure love and the other one which is fear guilt sin pain Suffering and and basically telling you don't ever go clear close to God again because you're going to suffer So why is all the attention on the world and outcomes of the world because if you keep focusing on outcomes of the world even basic things like I got the job or I got the partner. I got the child I got the family. I got the house that I always wanted I got a big-screen TV in the house that I always wanted, you know, these are just outcomes and The reason that the ego focuses focuses on the outcomes because it doesn't want you to come in and Discover that it's all happening in the mind There in lesson 132 Jesus says there is no world apart from what you think That ideas leave not their source and everything that you're experiencing is an experience of in mind without exception The quantum physicists who have been studying For decades seven going in eight decades of quantum physics have been saying the same thing There is no external world. There is no world apart from consciousness Now Jesus of course says consciousness is the domain of the ego, which is different than a lot of Spiritualities, but still he's focusing on the correction He's still focusing on the forgiveness on the unified field on the unified awareness Jesus even says you're not responsible for the error You are responsible for accepting the correction of the error How loving can you be? How loving can you be even when you get it back to your mind? He's gonna keep saying you're not responsible for the error. You're not responsible For the error at all. Here's the atonement Our purpose is to accept the atonement Your purpose is to do exactly what Jesus did and accept the atonement Accept the correction and it's in your thoughts
