Certain aspects of the script that are eliminated or taken out
in the sense that you don't have to go through those in certain forgiveness cases.
And, a lot of times people will ask me; well how does that fit with the idea that the script is written?
Which is in the workbook.
Well, the script is written, really is just meaning that the script is the past.
It's written as past tense.
And so, there will seem to be adjustments and changes
as long as there is this experience of time being linear.
And, these changes are always helpful, there are no accidents in the plan.
In this case it was kind of saying there were certain accidents that were happening or chance.
But, there's no chance in this plan.
Nothing is out of place.
So there's never something where it's like, oh that wasn't meant to happen
or that was meant to happen but it didn't happen, it just doesn't go that way.
But, we could say that the script is written is really just a statement
that ALL of perception is the past.
Kind of like that music video we were listening to today, Awaken Dream,
where he was saying, the future's just the past retold all over again.
It's REALLY all the same, and we were talking about this the other night about hypothetical thinking.
Whenever you're thinking about the future or you're thinking about the past, it's ALL the same.
And, as long as you think it's different, as long as you think the past is different from the future
then, that's what this whole loop, that's what this whole deception is about.
It's impossible to accept the Atonement and also continue to believe that the future is different from the past.
It's just a script.
(Music briefly plays)
So, what we're really looking at here is,
that's what all this mind training with the workbook's about is,
just to come to realization of the sameness of everything.
And, that's when you start to get closer and closer to,
we could say the end of choice because, you know
you start to see more and more and more you have a feeling that
all the choices in this world are not really different choices.
There all really the same choice.
That's why He says; all the roadways of the world lead to death.
It seems, in human perception like there's a lot of options, lot of possibilities,
lot of potentialities, lots of room for what they were calling free will.
But, there's no free will in this world.
As He says in the Clarification of Terms; free will was given to us.
Means God's Will for us or our will in alignment with God's Will.
But, that's just a state of mind.
Free will does NOT involve choice.
Choice was invented by the ego.
There's no choice in oneness.
There's nothing to choose between in pure oneness.
So, this trick, this world of opposites, this world of duality and all these choices,
that seem to be real choices aren't really real choices.
And that is where the anxiety comes in and that's where the stress comes in,
is trying to make the right choices in this world.
When there all the same.
But if you don't see them as the same, then you get into the struggle
about which ones are better, which ones are worst.
You know, which ones are higher order choices.
Choice whether to have a drink or the choice in a marriage partner.
It seems to be a different order of choice.
But, it's all the same.
(laughter in audience begins) David: I do. (laughter erupts in audience)
So, in the end that's why guidance is so important.
Because even if you don't believe that all the choices are the same.
The Holy Spirit knows that they are.
And, when you start to say, like the song today, Decide for me.
Or, Holy Spirit decide for God for me,
you are giving ascendance, you're giving importance.
You are giving your mind to the Holy Spirit, saying decide for God for me.
And, that's why sometimes you have these déjá vu feelings.
You get these flashes of these scenes and scenarios
where, maybe it's not so much a perceptual thing but,
you have a feeling like, I have been here before.
Like, that feeling like I have been here before.
Even though the ego would say, no you haven't. It's brand new.
First time.
First time in this situation and you got this inner feeling like,
no, there's something really familiar about this.
Because, it's just the past repeating over and over and over like in a loop.
And, you seem to meet new characters and new people all the time.
But all they are, are just representations of the past, of what you believe from the past.
They seem to be different, they seem to have minds of their own.
They seem to have thoughts of their own.
But, the people are really just pictorial representations of attack thoughts,
Of grievances that you still are holding on to.
and that's why you never wholly love any person.
If you look at all the relationships,
that all of them have little slivers of guilt in there.
They'll say, "Oh mom, I loved her unconditionally.
She never did anything wrong.
She was just the perfect mom.
She was the best mom in the world.
She never made a mistake."
You know, it just isn't happening,
because these characters are bits and pieces and fragments from the unconscious mind,
and as long as they seem to be different, then it's because the ego is in charge.
The ego MADE them to be different instead of all the same.
So, in the end you keep zooming towards the Atonement,
which is simply just seeing what is the same and what is different.
What IS the same?
All the images of the world are the same.
Why are they all the same?
Because they are equally unreal.
They have absolutely no reality whatsoever.
What is different?
If I say, all you have to do is open up to what is the same and what is different.
I just told you what's the same. what is different?
(Member of audience speaks):Truth.
There's nothing that is different.
David: No, let's not get out of the dream too fast here.
We'll leave God out of it for a moment.
Cause, God doesn't even know this world, we'll leave God and Love out of it.
What, if all the images are the same, what is different?
(Audience): Mind. Perception
David: No, perception's all the same.
(Audience): Ego.
David: Nope, the ego's...
(Audience): You? Purpose?
David: AAHHHH, it's the purpose.
The ego's purpose and the Holy Spirit's purpose are different.
They're so different that they have NO meeting point.
Never the twain shall meet.
In fact if you bring them together, only one remains.
Cause, it's Light and darkness.
And, perfect love casts out fear.
And so, that's the only distinction.
You know how we say, find your calling, find your purpose.
It's not like your purpose is to be a worldly purpose.
Like, OH, I was destined to be a writer or an actor or we talked about, like a minstrel.
It's deeper, it's deeper than the minstrel.
There's something underneath the minstrel.
There's something underneath the mother or something underneath the painter or the poet
or the construction worker.
There's something underneath the lawyer, there's something underneath the teacher of God.
The miracle worker, there's something deeper that's the Holy Spirit's purpose.
And, the Holy Spirit's purpose and the ego are NOT the same.
They are different.
So, this is what we call discernment.
So you might say, the whole purpose of this world is simply for discernment.
To be able to tell in your mind the difference between the ego and the Holy Spirit.
That's usually one of the questions that come up,
How do you tell the difference between God's Voice and the ego's voice?
Hmmmm
Well, that's really the key.
And you might say that Jesus it's just am examle of
one, who heard only one voice.
That's what the Atonement is. It's hearing only one voice.
No temptations, no uhhh I don't know about that,
No hesitations.
No doubts.
No maybes.
No mmmmm
come see, come saw.
No, none of that.
It's just pure clarity.
That's why Jesus, he didn't sound really human did he?
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.
No one comes to the Father but through Me.
Does that sound like a human being to you?
Before Abraham was, I AM.
Does that sound very human?
That sounds like Atonement speaking.
That was the Holy Spirit.
That's the certainty of one voice.
With no wavering, no deception.
And that's why for a lot of us who've been drawn to Jesus,
is like, teacher, elder brother, savior, call it whatever you want.
There's some kind of deep draw to that,
because it's the escape from this world of duality.
From this crazy dream of separation.
It's the escape hatch.
It's deep stuff, it's inevitable stuff.
In the end it's where this whole thing is heading.
There's no conflict in it.
Because of the clarity of it, the certainty of it.
And even though we start off all our discussions with practical things
like, what am I gonna do with my life, or I'm facing this decision,
or, how am I gonna make a living?
I don't know.
I'm disinterested in the world.
How can I work anymore if I have no interest in it?
It's kind of like Khalil Gibran, the prophet, work with love.
Be inspired with everything you think and say and do.
Open your mind, open your heart up to that inspiration.
And that's what we call being done through.
So, nothing is ripped away, but it's you're just going for an inspired life, that's all.
That's the only purpose, just to feel inspired.
Inspiritu, Inspired,
in Spirit.
