This is the great emptying of the mind,
that is required for healing to occur.
As we practiced yesterday,
all the meaning of all the images,
of all the appearances
is given solely by the ego,
which generated a world of opposites,
a world of multiplicity,
a world of many images,
that each seems to have an existence in and of itself
as a separate object.
The mind needs to heal to know the meaning of love.
To know itself as love,
the creation of
Divine Love.
And in order to heal
I must begin
to be open to the idea,
that I do not understand anything I perceive.
I cannot be open to a new perception
of everything I perceive,
unless I am willing to let go of all past associations,
as the exercise said.
It's designed to help clear the mind of all past associations,
the basic building blocks of this illusory world.
And this is why it's so important to be all-inclusive
as you glance around at the world,
opening wide,
letting go of all understandings
that weren't really understandings at all.
They were just past associations.
They were actually blocks to Christ's vision.
Now, the ego may say that this lesson seems to be pointing to
gullibility.
If you truly
release everything,
that you seem to understand about this world of time and space.
If you release this linear perception that you would be gullible
and therefore vulnerable.
It is actually releasing these false meanings, that
brings the mind back to its true state of peace
and
invulnerability,
strength,
certainty.
This is very precious.
Because all these false associations from the past
have never brought a feeling of peace
or strength
or stability.
Except you become as little children you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
And the emphasis
of this teaching from Jesus,
from the Bible is
that little children, infants
are
completely dependent on their parents
for their very life.
And likewise
the sleeping mind must learn to be completely dependent on the Holy Spirit,
on the Holy Spirit's instructions,
on the Holy Spirit's presence
to know it's life,
to wake up to eternal life.
So this is not a small lesson today.
This lesson is very important
in clearing away the debris
of what the sleeping mind thinks it already knows,
but
it's clueless.
To have a truly happy, joyful, flowing day
sink into this cluelessness
and be cared for
lovingly by the Holy Spirit
and feel the result:
A carefree life
of listening
and loving.
Remember today's lesson as you move through the day:
I do not understand anything I see.
