do the right thing it's really think the
right thing because you know this book
will actually help you if you really go
through this whole book I have so many
interactions with students and they're
really concerned about do the right
thing you know do the right thing in my
relationship do the right thing with my
children do the right thing with my
career do the right thing with this
person I met on the street or someone in
my course group its it starts off with
with the students presenting their
problems in the behavioral sense because
that's where they are perceiving the
problems they don't really know that
they have a perceptual problem that
they're seeing a world is not even there
that they're hallucinating you know
they've already had a psychotic break I
think they're normal they have a normal
family normal kids normal job normal
career psychotic and schizophrenic
they're listening to voices they've had
a complete like break from reality and
that's the human condition is not just
students that happen I just didn't get
the psychotic or schizophrenic limit the
whole human race is psychotic and
schizophrenic and this isn't gonna make
it on dr. Phil I will never have the
popularity of dr. Phil but I never did
want that either
so what this book does is it gently
takes the presenting problems and it
brings it back to right mind wrong mind
again just a metaphor the present moment
the more you go deep into the present
moment or what I would call right
mindedness you you do see that that's
all that there is it's everything is
only present
and there is no past or future but this
is a practical unwinding from the
presenting problems back to the decision
in the mind and so when you're talking
about follow a prompt the question isn't
so much about the action do I do this or
that it's what is the purpose of my
actions what is it for now that is an
important distinction to let the Holy
Spirit work with you on what is it for
because the Holy Spirit is always
working with you and what is it for
regardless if you get prompts to give
money or help somebody out or marry
somebody divorce somebody date somebody
break up with somebody you know buy this
sell this give this away those are all
form things it's the purpose underneath
that's important and that's the value of
unwind your mind back to God it's a
practical manual it's actually a
testimony and a witness of watching how
it's done so I'm doing it with these
students over the course of so many
years starting back in the 1990s and you
can benefit from watching it done with
them
as I guarantee you this will relate to
what you're going through to you'll
start to see that you might even see
striking parallels between the examples
and the metaphors that are in the book
and that was the process and so we're
they still spirit gently being with you
and and and this is like your your
owner's manual to what's really going on
the Spirit is not so concerned about
this form of that form because the
Spirit knows that all the forms are the
same how could the spirit be concerned
you know you think
go I've done I didn't pay this person
back or I I was angry at this person
where I even something more extreme you
know I've had people that have shot
somebody or killed somebody or whatever
and they're racked with guilt about this
memory of the form that they think is
unforgivable they're just gonna suffer
with for the rest of their life
this is bringing it back to that purpose
and then it gives you a new purpose a
new way of looking at the whole world
the Holy Spirit's way of looking at the
world that's where the innocence is but
it's it's never do the right thing it's
be inspired by the Spirit and what you
do comes from what you think what you do
comes from what you feel if you're
inspired if you're joyful peaceful happy
your behaviors will automatically flow
from that state of mind and if you're
angry and jealous and envious the
behaviors will flow the words the facial
expressions of the behaviors the actions
will flow from that so it's really
taking you back into consciousness and
saying let's look at the two purposes in
there the egos purpose and the Holy
Spirit's purpose and the more you look
at that the more you realize that you
really don't want what the egos selling
you don't want its purpose as it's just
purely death and no matter how you dress
it up and no matter how attractive you
ingeniously make it look in the end you
don't get fooled by the form anymore
psycho a death wish is a death wish is a
death wish I have no need of that I do
not want that I would choose forgiveness
instead and this is your role modeling
this is your your characters acting it
out with their questions
and the answers that come through the
spirit through the mouth of David or you
know that are written down in here this
is just role modeling unwind your mind
bring it back trace it back that's one
of my favorite songs
Carol King only love is real everything
else illusion and the line that I like
so much about that in that song is
tracing the line till we can define the
thing that allows us to feel only love
is a real classic Carole King you know
it's all right there the whole Course in
Miracles is in that song so you don't
you know if you really get that you
don't even need this book yeah save your
eyes
