...in teaching of the courses that you must
bring illusions to the truth and this
means that you bring the beliefs in your
mind of time and space, of separations, of
personalities, of judgments, of concepts
you bring them inward to the light where
they are dissolved and where they are
disappeared in the light. Because when you
bring darkness to light only light
remains. Now this whole world and
everything that seems to go for
spirituality in this world is an attempt
to bring the light into the darkness.
There's buildings built, and there's
seminars and workshops, and the word
God is used in all these things and I
see many many many books being written
on how to bring God into the workplace
Oh bring God into your family bring God
into your church but God is eternal
spirit and you cannot bring God into an
illusion. You can just take your beliefs
and your about the churches, the persons,
the places, and things and say maybe I've
been wrong about all of it. Mistaken
about the whole thing. Bring those inward
to the light and then they disappear.
This is a very important
distinction because otherwise, you know,
how many seminars can you go to for a
hundred or a thousand dollars on
becoming enlightened, how many mantras
can you say, how many how much money is
spent in the name of God, in the name of
helping the poor, helping this and that.
When the entire thing is just a
perceptual problem that needs an inner
solution and the rest is a distraction.
yeah and the light is all there is so
nothing. And the light is just the light.
That's all that it is. Yes and it feeds
and feeds. It it just it's a
creative beautiful experience it's an
experience that's felt. - Yes it's an
experience. Spirit creates spirit creates
spirit it's like there is no place that
matter enters into that line of
continuous creation
the entire attempt to make up a world or
to manifest the spirit or is, as the Bible
said, the word became flesh. Jesus is
saying no you can't take something
that's eternal and make it into
something this material. The idea is so
perfect that that anything else it's
this temporal, anything that's flesh,
that's material, that involves time and
space, is what needs to be dropped. Drop
off the illusion, drop off the temporal
and you're left with the eternal. So a
lot of this, and it's not just a new age,
but just a lot of the philosophies and
the psychologies, that are looking
like they're moving ahead and evolving
and getting better, are still separate.
Yeah it's still separation devices.
It's just the ego trying to bring God
into the illusion. If the ego wants to
perpetuate its existence it doesn't mind
if the mind, the deceived mind believes in
a concept of God, as long as it doesn't
have the experience of God because in
the experience of God there is no ego. So
the ego likes this: God this God that, you
know it can be put into form in many
different ways, you know. You sell the
latest book about awakening to God and
you know it's the old joke about there's
a line, a door that says: heaven and then
there's a door that says: lecture on
heaven and there's all these bodies
lined up going to pay 25, $100 a crack to
hear yet another lecture on heaven. And
meanwhile Jesus is kind of at the other
door saying: it's free, over here, C'mon
hop through, let go, - we're giving it away- it's just
it, right in here. And it's that simple,
really. - And if you take it you give it.
- yes - and we have been talking a lot
to give it away. - yeah yeah. You can't
help but give it that's what it is.
Yo cannot help but it give it. Miraculous,
easy, simple. - Yes - Uncomplicated - yes -
And the ego has such a great time making
things complicated. But I do feel a
little. and it's really pulled out a lot
of the stops, and and really pull a lot
of people into
putting off salvation. - yeah yeah. One
problem one solution: salvation is
accomplished. The ego would of course want
to make it seem like there's multiple
egos that everybody has an ego so that's,
what we got now? that would be 6 billion
egos, 6 billion egos on this planet
alone colliding with each other each day
in all kinds of layers of conflicts and
controversies and what you're supposed
to invent psychologies, and in different
ways of mediating of helping those, of
dealing with those. No. What the course
is saying: there is one mind and
the way back to that is realizing
there's one ego. And that's why when
anytime there's a grid of going into it
it must be seen it that a dark thought
system is just being unveiled and
nothing more than that it's not personal
there's not any bodies that have bigger
issues or smaller issues it's just that
the mind that believes that it can come
into bodies, the mind that believe it
can take on a form is the problem. - yeah -
and it says, the question is given:
Jesus how many teachers of God does it
take to save the world he says one - yeah -
One teacher who wholly knows who he is,
knows the divine mind, knows that he is
not a body and not in a body. Well that
explanation in the course right there
tells us that, that it is a divine mind
that knows it's pure abstraction and
oneness that is the savior of the world.
so when Jesus said: when I awoke you were
with me. It is, literally, a reflection
that this world is over. Not that Jesus
personally seemed to do something two
thousand years ago and now, little by
little, hundreds and thousands and maybe
millions and billions of others, over a
long period of time, are going to have to
make it. you know to like Jesus but it's
just the remembrance that it is solved.
It is finished. - It's done. - Yes -
it's miraculous - yes - well our friends are
going to be in prayer tonight with us.
this is it- this is it - yes - deep, just
receiving - yes - just receiving and the
gifts are always there - yes - but our
friends will find that out and they may
know. boy, David, you really bring things
right down to the moment. Go deeply
within, we could call this program go
deeply within.- yes - that's it and, - Amen -
it's like the final prayer that need be
ever offered is: father what is your will
for me? you know, and God's will for us is
perfect eternal happiness, peace of mind
that goes on and on and on and on. if
prayers are answered it can't be that
that there's a problem with the
answering of the prayer it's really that
if the prayer is limited, if the prayer
is improved my human condition, if the
prayer is a better self get me a better
