you know it is
that that thing that you're talking
about no private thoughts is you have to
kind of understand some metaphysics
underneath that
in order to take it from being a rule
to take it to being a guideline to
what's beyond the guideline
how does no private thoughts fit in with
the metaphysics
and how it fits in i would say is that
a private thought is one that would be
kept secret that couldn't be freely
shared with everything and everyone
so
if you look at jesus for example he's
probably
a great example of the best example of
no private thoughts because he's hearing
only one voice in his mind we'll say the
holy spirit
and that one voice is a blessing to
everything and everyone
so everything that's going to come out
of his mouth every gesture every smile
every glance
is going to be for the whole cosmos
because the holy spirit is the voice for
god you know it's going to be an
expression that way
and metaphysically when you start to
understand how things work that
that christ is an idea in the mind of
god
so really i and the father are one you
know it's just saying that we're the
same spirit
jesus wasn't god
uh he was just a good we could say
almost like a a symbol or a
manifestation of the holy spirit
as if the holy spirit could be acted out
in form
and
basically
ideas leave not their source means that
that christ remains in the mind of god
that's what heaven is is remaining in
the
the mind
of your source
and in heaven every thought is fully
shared so
in creation god gave everything to
christ creative ability
love happiness joy perfection
oneness i mean everything was completely
shared
and there there was nothing kept back
god didn't like share
99.9 and say well actually
i'm gonna hold on and retain this one
thing
but nothing was retained in heaven
everything was actually expressed and
completely given for eternity it wasn't
there was no sense of holding back it's
just this we call it extension
everything is totally extended in
in creation
and in this world the parallel is
is that if you would know the holy
instant if you would come to live in the
present moment
you must have no thoughts
that are for you alone
in other words every thought that you
share with the holy spirit is a thought
for everyone
so there's no secrecy needed
jesus
when he reached the state of
enlightenment
he never had that thought
in his mind about
like a delta like i wonder if this is
gossip
or i wonder if i should be saying this
about so-and-so because everything that
he was thinking and saying
was coming from the source you know from
we'll say the holy spirit so it didn't
have to be kept hidden in private
because
the christ mind is aware that there is
nothing private
so
our first guideline will say there are
no private thoughts we'll say
means
there are
no
private thoughts
literally
now because only the thoughts of god can
be shared
a private thought is
an attempt to keep something apart
from the mind of god
and from the mind of christ
and that's impossible and even that
you share actually because the whole
world is reflecting that thoughts
from an egoic perspective if you seem to
have a private thought then the whole
world that you perceive will reflect
that back
that sense of doubt
insecurity secrecy
you know
so it's like if you put on the ego's
glasses or you put on the ego's lens
which is a lens of private thoughts
you will perceive a world
of privacy
of secrecy
of doubt
all the things that are blocks
to the awareness of love's presence
so
the first thing i would say is yeah we
really
we don't um
we don't use it as a rule in other words
it's never come to a point where
i've ever had to say to anybody
in the messengers
you know
you have a private thought that you
haven't shared and now you're going to
be excommunicated
because
there's never come to a point where you
you have a threat of being
excommunicated because of the private
side now if the private no private
thoughts was a rule
that would be a good way that the ego
could misuse
for basically
a threat or for an action
that's is based on you know saying
you're out you're excluded
