a person you are not
everyone wants to feel a sense of
importance and significance and
and really what the spiritual journey
does progressively as you go deeper and
deeper is you you
find that in order to find that true
meaning
and true significance and true
importance
that the personal
and the person construct has to be left
behind
and so it's
it's
one of those things where the ego is
just like
that is not sounding good
in fact
you know somebody
they said somebody recently but in the
past week or two they were saying david
are you david are you that are you that
guy that that
there's different kind of values for
different objects and consciousness as
far as vibrations i said that's david
hawkins that's
not
i'm not that guy
uh
i don't believe in those things uh
actually because i see it's all the same
but but but basically i remember one of
the things i enjoyed about something
that dave hawkins had done was he was
just calibrating the course and
calibrating all these different
texts and everything and then he made
some commentary where he said oftentimes
someone will channel a book
and
the book will be calibrated at a certain
level of spiritual vibration and the
author will be calibrated at the same
level as the book
but the book will stay
at that level of calibration and the
author will start to dive after the book
comes out
and the book gets published
and the author gets famous it's like a
nosedive it's like gotcha
you may be a great scribe in jail but
you're mine you know it's it loves to
attach
to personal attainment personal
achievement you know it's it's actually
that's it's just sitting there waiting
in the wings
for the identification to to
continue on with the body
and
you know when we talk about mind being
singular there's really no such thing as
a famous mind you have to you have to
have a body to be famous
just just like famous how many times do
you hear people talking on
you know entertainment tonight about
okay tonight we have an interview with
abstraction
here's the juicy details on abstraction
uh no well let's see what have we got on
who do they sleep with lately any
affairs
marriages divorces
you got any recent photos
uh
okay
what what are we talking about here
bliss bliss
that's boring let's get let's get
someone else
you don't have
a famous abstraction because there's
there's nothing there to become famous
or infamous you can never even be
infinite infamous as abstraction
so
the goal you might say is forgiveness
which leads to the remembrance of that
abstraction and so it's very very
tempting as you're going through the
journey
for the ego to want to kind of piggyback
and jump
jump back in there
and i noticed is the life of david the
parable of david unfolded that
that
even with the course in miracles it was
like
i was told early on that i would not
have a career with the course in
miracles it was an interesting
thing i was questioning the whole idea
of career but i was told no you won't
even have a career with the course
what does that mean
can you give me a little more
information than just that i won't have
a career with the course well you've
done that before but this is your time
to wake up
from all these
much to do about nothing things like
careers you know
well as a career seems practical well
yeah i will go before you i will provide
the things you need without effort but
don't think that you have to do
something
to make it happen or aim your life in
some direction to try to
you know bring about something
in fact a couple days ago um
i got an email it actually was sent to
me but it was cece to francis and so she
said did you get that email i said no
she said well it was intended for you
but it didn't somehow didn't make it
into your inbox i said well forward it
to me they were
they're forming a miracle institute
in china
and they want me to take on a position
it's a con it's a combination between a
charitable and a commercial
thing and they're basically saying
you tell us what position you want
and we'll have a meeting when you get
over here to shanghai and you can have
that position and then you can use
that income
for your work you know in china and
around the world
so the ego could be sitting there
positioned with congress
president
ambassador
chinese ambassador oh or you know you
can see where the ego will try to go for
a position but but upon looking at it i
saw that it was
it was combination between charitable
and commercial and and when they said
use the income then again
once you get into the happy dream
before happy dream income
good work
in happy dream
income
meaningless word
you see the difference
uh between them
before happy dreams income
temptation
or big income temptation
uh after during heavy dream income
no comprende
um
you know that's that's the difference
and and that's what we call about
letting go of
personal pursuits and so on and so forth
it does require trust because
you know
basically if you read lesson 50 i am
sustained by the love of god you know
it's basically saying here's all the
things you believe in that don't really
sustain you
but you just believe they do
things like protected clothing and
pills and money and so on so forth even
psychological things like being liked
knowing the right people he doesn't stop
he rattles them off and they're in less
than 50. and then he says but no you are
sustained by the love of god only the
love of god will sustain you in every
circumstance that you encounter only the
love of god not
end
it's not
they're sustained by this and this it's
you're sustained by the love of god so
as you identify and trust in that and
you have experiences
of everything being provided through
that that love and devotion
then
you know you're you could just sail
along that's what the happy dream is
about
there's one part where jesus says but
should they forget
that everything that comes to them comes
from the holy spirit
should the teacher of god forget for a
moment that everything comes from the
holy spirit then you're back down
into the striving the struggling
the working you know
to
to produce to attain you know it's once
you dip down from that that pure trust
then then you're subject to all
the much to do about nothing again
until you you go no wait a minute i i
forgot lord i forgot
and you come back into that alignment
so it is kind of progressively a
loosening from a personal
investment a personal alignment
and in the end it's like the person is a
construct that that is part of the mask
and and the goal is help me be free of
the mask
even i mean personality comes from the
latin you know persona
that's mask it's just right there it's
right in the core of the word even
and we're asked to trust so fully that
we completely let go of that
and then stay in that experience which
is quite fun
quite enjoyable
