 Well, I thought what we would do is try to take this deeper deeper deeper because what we started off with I think with the group Yesterday afternoon was going into a lot of structural things as if there is separate minds and as your right mind and your wrong mind and you know getting into some basic things that Sure, like Chuck and to haven't been in the course for a while Those would be things would be really helpful and even trying to grasp some of the things we're going to be going into Progressively and so I thought maybe we'll we'll try to maybe go back to the back sections Take a look at some of those but on page 11 from the earlier I think it's in paper number one and it's page 11 Yeah this section Comes right after the section Judgment Column the wish to be the author of reality So I think we could just summarize that by saying that that to even see a world You know to even perceive anything there's an authority problem going on and ultimately that's what we that's the basis of of all Why the mind judges and why the mind orders the illusions? Why do I make higher our piece of illusions is because it wants to be the author of itself, you know It really believes there's a very very very very deep-rooted belief that actually that reality can be selected from And that's what all the all the judgments in this world seem to be literally I choose to go here I choose to go there I choose to prefer this I choose to avoid this, you know It's there's an underlying assumption beneath all that that I can choose from reality Reality is not something that just is that I have and I can accept But it's something that I can actually select from You know and that parts of it are not parts of it that I wanted parts of it that I can actually reject You know and you see how that denies the wholeness of and denies the the subject object split or It literally it makes the split seem real by the judging That's what maintains it so that we when we start to move into this realm now We can start to think of ourselves more as a mind You know, we started to see the fallacy of all these things that we thought we were as a person, you know I did this I didn't do this I'm hoping to do this in the future and this and that and just kind of take it out of the personal Context and now to shift it into a context of I'm a mind And I've got all these concepts and ideas But just images my thoughts or images I have made and the thoughts themselves, you know, aren't the problem But it's the ordering and the arrangement of those images That that keeps me from seeing that they're all equally illusory So it's not that a cup in and of itself is is good or bad But it's just that if I believe a car is more valuable than a cup or this body It's more about valuable than that body or than another body or you know You can see where it's it's the arranging the images is where the problem comes in Yeah One the decision to judge Presumes the belief that reality is mine to choose from it's like fun And therefore I must still believe that reality is mine to choose from it's like fun if I continue to judge Valuing In anything that's not eternal. Yes, but you can't do that without without This or allowing the Holy Spirit to reorder the mind or giving up one's own ordering of those thoughts and images Long as you talk about having no value in the world and you still hold on to judgment or ordering the images Yeah, then you're then you're giving the value by that Just know the sense of everything having value Well, I think it's more likely to be more of the first and What it is is that the only way that the ordering can be taken away or the only way that the ordering can be given up is to give one Meaning to every image in other words, you don't try to just You know say that nothing I see means anything and it's a vacuum because Without saying that there has to be a purpose Which is the Holy Spirit's purpose that unifies the perception So that's the value that everything that's the value that's the value that everything has Equally literally the Holy Spirit gives that equal meaning to a chair a lamp a body a car a Trailer, you know Anything all has one purpose So what we're saying is that in the Holy Spirit's eyes, so to speak that the idea of these things having meaning in and of themselves is meaningless There is no such thing as a microphone Defined as the deceit line perceives it because that always has to do with speaking into and voices Well, that's the body you see how there's a bunch of concepts that have to order with a couch a Couch is where bodies sit down in it, but bodies are just Images to you know, they're just images just like the couch Yeah And even the sitting on you know, it's part of that Is another image because there's a relationship there and the Holy Spirit knows that there's no Relationship between the images and the only meaning that any of the images have is the meaning that the Holy Spirit gives to the images and In that sense the miracle sees that they're all false, you know, that's why true forgiveness is just seeing the false is false Seeing that that it has no positive Has no cause to it says So you see how this this kind of kicks us up into a whole different realm a higher realm of Getting away from thinking and describing things in terms of persons and behaviors And now we're getting kicked up totally into the metaphysical Round of I'm a mind and I've got these thoughts and it's very disordered And I want to Learn how to perceive correctly. I want to want to allow my mind to be reordered By the Holy Spirit Which is just to say that the same meaning given to everything So I thought what we do is we pick up this on page 11 it starts talking about ordering of thoughts And it's kind of getting straight into the mind Level only what God creates is irreversible and unchangeable What you may can always be changed because when you do not think like God You are not really thinking at all Delusional ideas are not real thoughts Although you can't believe in them But you are wrong The function of thought comes from God and his in God as Part of his thought you cannot think apart from him Irrational thought is disordered thought God himself orders your thought because your thought was created by him Guilt feelings are always a sign that you do not know this They also show you believe that you can think apart from God and want to Every disordered thought is attended by guilt at its inception and maintained by guilt in its continuous Guilt is Inescapable by those who believe they order their own thoughts and must therefore Obey their dictates So you can see where the guilt's coming in is that once thoughts are believed to be real in other words once the mind identifies even with the body and Well, I did hit so-and-so or I did yell at them You know, I did yell at Mandy and I feel guilty for doing that You know, what it's done is it's taken the body thoughts of Rhonda And Mandy and it believes that it's responsible that there was a real attack it took place and If if those thoughts, you know body Mandy screams All those thoughts were just seemed to be the just illusory thoughts Not part of my right mind not part of the mind that thinks with God. Where would the guilty, you know Literally, you know There could be no guilt but but it's the association of the mind with those thoughts that brings the guilt Because as soon as we do that then we all can look back on what seems to be a personal past history. It's filled with Crosses full of things, you know, like with our children or with with anyone that we wish we had done that we didn't do or that we did do You know or We wish we hadn't or you know just constantly but and the whole point of course the moment of release is simply seeing it as a mind That's not those aren't real. They never have been and they never will be nor are my fear thoughts about the future about Being provided for you know, where will I be going? Well Will I be afraid if I go to other parts of the country or will there be conditions that will arise, you know That was that was scary or whatever all those thoughts of the future are just as equally past past tense Rethinking To believe in linear time is to simply take thoughts from the past and like project them in another direction And call that the future taking the past projecting it and then giving your name future Yeah We're really it's still past The future past Who's going to talk about that but you can see where the fear comes in if I'm identifying with one of those thoughts which is a body You know and I feel like and also I believe that all the conditions of the world Economic and financial and weather and all these other things then that's where the fear comes in Believing those are real thoughts Instead of just seeing that the unreality of it So you can start to see how we're really when you start to see some of these things It's really coming to a point of release in the sense that you can start to get a sense of that my mind holds only what I think with God and That's like super out of you know, she's where does that come in? I mean, that's literally the release point That's just another version of I'm it's got gated me Take your version of however you like it worded so it's really only the mind's identification with the real thoughts Unreal thoughts that make them seem real And it believes it can order them you see we're back to that ordering thing that before much less believing in them It's it's the ordering that makes them seem seem real And so that's why I have to give up the judgment. I have to give up the ordering Right Now that's why I mean for a couple years now I've been like with Beverly, you know Over the last couple years pointing out tiny things and even little preferences, you know when she says boy I really like this or I like this. No, I say, oh, you'll get over you know And at the beginning it was kind of like Dang I'm a person here and I I really do like This and this and this because see at the beginning until you get the metaphysics down you can't see How it makes any difference? Give me a break. It's no big deal. That's right. Leave me alone That's right. Yeah, and the more you get into it the more it's like, thank you It's a it's a whole different turnaround from you know, get out of my face to thank you It's like smells too because I You know a lot of things I still that's why I wanted to come to I've let a lot of that go because I'm always by myself And I can see I can see so many things and I do and say But this the smell like if ever I smell drink it can set up a chain reaction of past thoughts of drink Now see I can I can I know and I say no you don't you're not doing that on me again, you know That's over with that is gone And it seems that way, but once again you I smelled it. Yes. I don't know if I smelled it yesterday Well, I don't know but I smelled it And Perception selective, you know, you've said this in your life, you know being alcohol See that's just a very strong association really it's an illusory association And really it may seem like the smell of during sense of the brain action once again, that would be something informed triggering it but still in the mind Still the category in the ordering and the belief That this is associated with alcohol and fear And trouble yeah, and that's what's got to be questioned in other words, you know the mind Has that split and has a fear in there and then it particularly picks out a particular thing I run the same in the group the other day. There's certain
