Jesus says you have taught this from afar, isn’t time you looked at your own now. If this association is dedicated in its own mind to the provision of itself in space/time, everything in all the universe is healing that mind in its association with itself.  The final step is only the translation of that self-identity to its own wholeness.  The requirement for the continuing necessity of the release is what a communicator is.  I don’t care whether he recognizes that he’s communicating or not.  I understand that he will recognize it at some level, but it doesn’t concern me because it is always past anyway.  Now I can see that space/time is a fabric of time, fabric of thought, and that that mind is all there is in a continual reassociation of itself.  Your only question, then, to yourself is: “What am I doing here and why am I doing it?”  There is no answer to that.  If you ask the question in the transition of your own mind, you will have the experience of your own whole self that was the manifestation of the necessity for the transformation. 

Both selves are the same because there is only one Self.  The self that communicates with its own self in its limited identity is in the transition of the recognition of the singularness of its own mind.  And I say “its” in the concept that it is not real.  That’s very reasonable to me.  Now, the experience of the passion of that, is your necessity to create.  This is the declaration that if you are not happy and joyous all the time, you simply are not using your own creative mind.  It is so deep and thick here that you really think that this is solid.  You make a solid hand here to make this solid for you.  It is not solid.  There’s no such thing as solid.

If you take thick energy or thick light for a moment, you can compact it into a limited identity association.  Did you hear that?  Isn’t that what you are doing with your mind?  So there you stand.  With all of this crap outside of you, you’ve compacted yourself within your own identity.  And you are very fearful of what’s out there.  I can’t understand what you are teaching in your own concepts.  What’re you going to do?  What are you going to do in your own mind?  I know I teach it as a philosophy but I can’t get you to look at anything you do.  It is so strange to me that you do that. What are you getting out of this?  Did you ever look at that?  Is that the fundamental premise? Not really. You keep kicking it out and saying no, that’s not true.  Can I teach you that it’s only your mind?  Well, what do you do?  Just keep proving that objects are real?  You keep proving that that object is real in your own mind.  And that these associations in your own separate mind – I just read you this – are actually separate minds talking to you, and you need to know who they are by asking them questions about themselves.  Of course that’s what you are doing.  And you like some of them better than others.  I have no problem with that.  I’m not trying to take it away from you.  I’m just trying to get you to look at it.  You like some of them so much that you’ll eliminate all the other ones.  And then you grasp that one in your own mind and it falls apart on you, but you cling to it as long as you can.  What a sorry frigging state you are in.  And not only that, but you like it.  There isn’t anything out there! I must construct it in my own mind.  It’s going to fall apart, so I’ll hold on to it. 

I’m offering you no solution to this at all – none.  None.  In this advanced teaching I’m not offering you a solution.  You are going to say to me: “Well, what’s the solution?” and I’m just going to say: “How the hell do I know?”  Who are you asking for the solution to the problem except someone that you are going to hear within your own association?  Can you hear me?  Can you teach it this way?  I don’t know.  But it is true. Do you see that?  This is only an awakening from your own dream identity.  “Well, look at the lovely manner that I’m waking up in.”  What the hell are you talking about?  Any of the associations of your own mind will be just  exactly conflictual or as harmonious as you want them to be.  I understand you need the conflict.  Who else would you ask for the solution? 

All I want you to see that if God is Love and whole, it would be impossible for you to ask for the solution to conflict without experiencing it.  If you’ll admit to me what I just read you – that it is in your own mind.  Obviously you deny that, and you seek relief in your own perceptual mind.  What’s real hard for you is the admission of the necessity for the hardware. If suddenly somebody’s sick in your family and dying, you think somehow that in your mind you have to overcome that and see that as unreal.  That’s exactly the opposite of what I’m teaching you. I am not teaching you to give specific references.  I am teaching you to accept it as inevitable in your own process.  That’s about as close as I can get to it.  The problem I have with that is that you immediately accept it and make it a part of yourself.  But if I’m going to sink it this low to have an Academy, I’ll do it.  Because those who are going to hear this will hear it.  You’ll notice that these real advanced associations, the moment that they heard this, that was it.  And you say: “That wasn’t true with me,” and I’ll say, the hell it wasn’t.  I’m not concerned at all at how long you’ve been working on this. 

I’m standing here offering total release to you.  You are the one that brings the baggage.  So one thought is the same as any other thought?  And the creative mind only releases and that’s the experience of joy?  Love is letting go of fear? The proof that they will want to hear it, if there is a they, or if you want to hear it – were you were in enough pain?  You were in enough association with your own existence to see that there must be another answer outside of you. Do you understand that?  God is a concept?  There is no conceptual identity in reality because all of the concepts are the same in reality.  It doesn’t make any difference what the form is.

You are in an experience of metamorphosis, awakening from a self-identity to eternity. An evolution of your mind.  What’s wrong with that?  What else would you intend to do?  You are aware of evolution.  What are you going to evolve to?  Death?  How can you evolve to death?  You already are dead.  You are already in limitation.  Seek and ye shall find.  Seek you had to and find you did.  Why?  Seeking and finding are the same thing.  So you are always getting what you are looking for. If I throw it away, what do you do?  Grab it again? “If I can cling to this long enough.”  Right?  “I’ll hold on to it long enough.”  Is that what you are going to tell me in your own mind?  Long enough to what?  You can’t hold on to it long enough to find life because all you are finding is death.  You’ve already admitted by holding on to it, you are going to lose it?  Is holding on to a thought the same as losing it?   All: Yes.  If I defend myself, I am attacked.  Do you want the sentences, dummy?  I’m just giving you the philosophy. 

Obviously if you defend yourself, you are going to be attacked.  Otherwise why would you hold on to it? It must be something has a great deal of frailty.  If you can hold on to it, you can protect it, and it becomes a part of you protecting it.  And you are very vulnerable.  And there is something out there that’s going to take it away from you.  Whew!  And there is.  How am I going to get out of that?  I’m in a dilemma of cause and effect.  I have to give myself an identity; therefore, I must protect myself from something.  I don’t know what it is, but I must protect myself from it.  Because my reality is based on the protection of myself in my own association.  What’s the solution?  Shall I tell you? 

Don’t protect yourself.  I don’t understand why I couldn’t stand on the Mount and tell you this.  And did.  All I ever really told you is: don’t protect yourself.  I didn’t mean to have this fall down into doctrine.  But any association who’s going to teach you subjective reality has got to teach you not to protect yourself.  Obviously the lesson is you are protecting yourself from your own attack thoughts.  And you can get this perceptually and say: “Yes, I know I’m attacking myself,” but it is quite another thing to release the necessity for it.  But in that is salvation.  And literally in nothing else, because it is true that you are protecting yourself from yourself.  Don’t protect your own identity and you will experience love.  Then you’ll lose identity. 

And you’ll discover that by giving it away that you can keep it.  But not in the sense of giving it away specifically but only in the sense of knowing that by giving you are creating.  Do you see that?  Any possessions then will make you want to give more and that’s a fact. You can say: “Well, we all need a minimum to survive.”  I don’t even know what the hell you are talking about.  “We have to sort this out somewhere.  There’s a difference in mammon, I can sort out what I need against what I want, and I’m able to tell the difference.  The main thing is that I can survive. And I can continue to study the process by which I’m coming to know this.”  How simple the uncompromisingness of this! It is never true. Death is never true.  Obliviation is never true. It never was, and it never will be. I’m here to tell you that. Your acceptance of it is what salvation is.  That’s how simple this is. 

This is a direct confrontation of a cognition of yourself in your own mind.  There is no other mind but yours, whether awake or sleep.  There isn’t any such thing as a sleeping mind.  You can be hell-bent on proving it, go ahead.  But then you don’t need me. Because your proof lies in sickness and death.  Who is here to deny you that?  No one.  You’ve constructed in your mind all of the forms that will verify yourself.  You keep asking yourself what the solution to the problem is.  Don’t you understand that?  The asker is the unreal part of it.  He wouldn’t have to ask if he knew.  But if he doesn’t know, he’s not real.  Who is it that says: “Who am I?”  Somebody who really doesn’t know?  What is it that doesn’t know what beingness is?  Whatever it is, it has every reason to protect itself in its own mind. You are fearful of what I’m offering you because it is a loss of your own protective association. 

Do you have the feeling that you are popping in and out of time?  I usually don’t direct perceptual minds to it because wherever you are, you are always in this perception.  But actually they’re always only over.  Individual transformation.  I’m not trying to alleviate your guilt. I’m trying to make you totally guilty.

So you are at the Academy and you are saying: “Yes, I am having this experience.  I intend to undergo this transformation in this cycle of time.” Now you really start to teach this and watch what happens in the world.  If I keep it broad enough, it’ll be a son-of-a-gun to attack. We have to teach personal transformation.  Show me another way it can be done, if all concepts are the obstacle to the transformation.  I never really reduced it to this, but it is only: Know yourself in your own identity.  That’s being taught by a lot of philosophies.  So you have to teach two associations.  One, dramatically, is that you are the only identity there is, regardless,  that God is not outside of you.  But more directly, that the concepts of yourself are all there is.  How are you going to teach that? 

See, while the consciousness is willing to admit he’s responsible for his own identity, you are declaring that there’s something outside of himself that he can reach or can’t reach?  Which?  He is going to want to know.  What do you tell him?  So all you are at is the paradox of transformation.  Do you see that?  But he uses devices that have nothing to do with the devices.  It is a statement of singularity of mind, that the devices know each other perfectly well, at the moment that they become divisive – or at the moment that they become harmonious, they fall into a different form that then must be divisive in its own identity with itself.  And this persists and in fact is a definition of a condition of reality that is not what reality is. But certainly it appears to be reality.  Is this true?  If you are bringing these groups together, the guy depends on the existence of himself, and the termination. And the defense against termination.  So he keeps getting sent back to earth because of his fear of death.  You guys are writing movies about it, for goodness sake.  Well, you are doing it.  So you must know it.  But now we’re saying, well, let’s teach it then. Let’s go into an association that admits that Love, which is God, is simply the release of the perceptual identity, which is fear.  That’s the whole Course in Miracles.  

 “Do we need transcendent minds on the Board?”  Hell, no.  We just need illustrious, self-conceived evil minds on the Board.  What the hell do you care the minds that are on the Board?  You are teaching transformation of the mind.  Do you really think that the Mountain Man with the beard came here because he heard there was a great master and he was immediately going to enter in with the reassociation and go to Heaven?  Bullshit.  The Mountain Man came here to debunk and prove I was crazy and some weirdo was sitting here.  That’s a statement of fact.  That’s what the perceptual mind does because that’s what it is. It has to in its own mind prove that truth cannot be true.  That’s what it does.  But the dependence on the conversion of him, is all that universal mind is, if it needs conversion. I don’t know if you can hear that.  I don’t care where the association is.  If he underwent an enlightening experience in a late-time association, you are that, too.  You are that!  There’s no multiplicity in it, not really.

Is it possible for me, then, to experience him in his new mind association?  Yes, but not if I give him the identity of my own previousness.  And I don’t care where that occurs.  Now you can see that the miracle is instantaneous, and has nothing to do with how long it has been accumulating within the perceptual mind.  Isn’t that so? But that would lead me to declare through acceptance and faith that he is the savior of the world.  I’m not going to let this out in the Academy, but I’m giving you the fact of it anyway.  Now, this consciousness underwent an experience in order to come to know that.  But I am very trusting of that. I believe that he underwent an experience and that he came here and that he has had this and that he’s the savior.  Sure.  Why would I not?  What is there about him that I would deny that he’s the savior of the world?  I just read you that. Except that I’m going to share a guilty association in my own mind.  Do you understand me?  If it wasn’t for him, I would never be saved.  It’s so simple.  “But you have qualities in your saviorship that he doesn’t have.”  Bullshit!

  See, that’s just your determination to hold on to your conceptual crap and to keep your own identity in regard to what this is.  I just got through telling you all of the concepts are meaningless.  Jesus says this early in the Course.  That does not mean it will not lead to respect for a mind that’s obviously in association with itself, and it should lead to that.  I’m really not concerned about that.  This is only a challenge to your own sleeping minds, guys.  What’s inside there does not concern me.  This is the whole direction of the teaching. 

 Speaking for myself, this must be just about over, isn’t it?  Otherwise, how am I able to do this?  What you are saying is that you are in a communication that transcends your perceptual identity.  It is what you are doing, right?  Is that what the Academy is for?  Only to the experience.  Boy, that’ll get futile for you, too.  You are teaching the impossible.  The toughest part about this, until you guys came around, was the necessity to admit that you are never being heard, no matter what you say.  Do you understand?

 The reason we can have the Academy is that you stopped going “Um-un,” and you are going “Um-huh-huh.”  And that’s exactly the same as coming into a harmony of your mind.  Minds communicate; bodies do not communicate.  What are you worried about?  But that must come to what I just read you, subjective reality. Are you comfortable with that? I have never been comfortable with objective reality.  There was never a time when I didn’t question what the form was in association with other forms.  When I was told that I was spinning around at millions of miles an hour around other obstacles with big, trillions and trillions of stars, there was always some fundamental question in my mind about objective space/time.  This is the confirmation of that, that there is no reality in distance, that mind is simultaneous, that while you can construct the cause and effect separately, it will only be contained within your own mind.  Have you got that?  And this is a process of bringing the cause and the effect together.

So I’ll give you the written stuff on the Academy.  And you send it all over the world.  Broadcast it on the news. I don’t care;  I’ll give you a framework.  That’s all.  And it may be slow in coming, but there’s some endowed minds, what they call minds that have intellectual capacities of release that have reached a very high association.  We trust.  We know that you have to hear it some time, right, because you did hear it some time, and we also know that that time can be now, and that time must be now.  So we didn’t fail at this, either.  And if we fail, it will be to life rather than death.  Try that again: If you fail, you’ll just be gone from here.  You won’t be back in another condition.  It is very crucial that you hear this.  This is very frightening to you.  You have a tendency to say: “Yes, yes, but I’ve got to get it because my body’s getting older and I’m going to die.”  No, it’s not.  No, it’s not.  This is important for some of you guys.  You don’t have to worry about that anymore.  That can’t be explained, however.  It is the same idea as having already laid my body down, I don’t have to be concerned about it.  It is very vital for some of you.  All I want to guarantee you is that you can squeeze your thoughts and die on me and I still have you.  Because it is always already gone anyway, and I could give a crap less where you think it went or where it goes.  You will stand here.  And I understand you are looking in the mirror and some of you still hold on to a little perceptual identity, and that you really are in a process of just kind of letting your body be.  This is the teaching. You’ll discover that you’ve in fact done that.  And then for a moment you’ll grab a hold of it, and you’ll look at yourself, and you haven’t seen yourself.  And you’ll discover little things all over you.    But remember, you are not in a Calcutta train station with maggots crawling all over you.  No, no. 

 You’ve made a discovery that is allowing you to undergo the transformation of your body rather than sitting under a tree, staring at the sun with no eyelids, letting a tree root grow up your ass.  Can you feel this?  This is the transformation of your body. Can you understand?  You are just caught in your own body.  You are not a phenomena.  You are a continuing reassociation of cellular memory in your mind.  The alternative to that, obviously, is the observation of the body.  But remember that the observation of the body is the time, binding of yourself in your own mind.  And a lot of you are experiencing fear with that.  Good.  That’s all right.  Good.  You’ve been shown exactly what to do here to overcome the fear.  If you don’t fall into that fear thought and defend yourself, it will go away because it has gone away. 

 I’m very much aware that some of you establish high criteria of self-enlightenment and use that criteria to continue to give yourself the Holy Instants and to direct the purpose of you.  I’m trying to get you a step above that.  What the hell’s wrong with being totally fearful?  I’m totally fearful. Do you think I’m not fearful of this place?  My salvation is that it is not real.  It is in my mind and it is not real.  Did you look around you?  That’s the fun part about it.  Your acceleration, your revelation, must occur at the fear point. I don’t care whether you are giving it a specific reference or not.  That doesn’t concern me.  It is always perception to light.  It is always perception to non-perception.  Come on.  I don’t care what you are fearful of, if you are fearful of a specific association, from then on you’ll do a fear association with that specific form. 

 If you love one single association totally, you will do all associations with that one form.  That’s how simple it is for me to know that the Mountain Man is my savior.  If he’s not my savior, if he’s separate from me, I have every right to be afraid of him.  He’s a separate mind.  I don’t know who he is.  I don’t know what he’s going to do to me, except steal something from me.  He must need, because we’re separate. You see the insanity of a human conceptual mind, contained within itself, reflecting back its own fears of itself?  What the hell do you think you are, brother?  That’s what you are doing.  There’s no sense in denying you are doing it.  You are doing it.  Go ahead.  As soon as you say to me: “I don’t want this anymore,” it’ll change. I know this is the final step. Why anyone would want to continue to suffer pain and sickness – I’m looking right at you, I don’t care how you are doing it – why would you want to keep a body identification when you’ve been told this message?  I wouldn’t care what it involves.  It has become a possibility in your mind.

   The reason it’s the lesser of two evils is because everything is evil to you.  Do you understand?  This is a jumping off place.  I’m giving you a statement of fact here.  I’m not offering you a solution to your own sick problem.  I don’t care whether you study it or what you do with it.  I’m telling you there is no solution to this.  If you can get that into your mind, you’ll release the necessity for solution and have the God experience.  Not by providing yourself with the solution of A Course In Miracles.  A Course In Miracles is not a solution to your perceptual problem. It is the declaration of the unreality of it and the necessity for the transformation of your mind.  Oh, this brother is hearing that very plainly.  So is he teaching that to the universe?  Of course.  He’s ready for this.  I’ve got to say this: He is the universe.  Wherever he goes, in all of space/time, to the most distant stars, to the furthest galaxy – what the hell do I care?  It is either whole or it is nothing.  If it is whole, you need not be concerned what it is.  This is what I’m trying to give you  It’s little and big at the same time.  It may seem to fluctuate in your own mind.  If it turns back in, you are going “Mmmmmmm.”  Whappo!!  Can you make that step or are you going to just keep lulling in your own stuff?  But the other sad thing is – and finally you guys must realize this – I’m professing total love to you and apparently giving you separate identities in this association. It’s really not true.  And you might be offended that I am using your love energy in my own association around you, I assure you that’s true!

-Master Teacher

"If you are what you choose your brother be, alternatives were there to choose among, and someone must have first decided on the one to choose, and let the other go. Although this step has gains, it does not yet approach a basic question. This is very simple. Something must have gone before these concepts of the self. And something must have done the learning which gives rise to them. Nor can this be explained by either view of the self.

This is very, very fundamental stuff. This says that you are using the power of God mind, the Holy Spirit, to identify yourself in your own limitations. The main advantage of the shifting to the second from the first is that you somehow entered in the choice by your own decision. I don’t care how you did it. It has value. Why? You need to know who you are. You have asked the fundamental question, “What am I?” haven’t you? Can I actually teach that you individually are in a decision-making process of your own mind and that through the change of your mind this world that’s all around you will disappear, and that you will wake up in Universal Mind in Heaven? I don’t know. It doesn’t seem hard to me. The process is the only thing that could be hard, and that’s the relinquishment of self-identity, isn’t it?  

…that you somehow entered into the choice of your decision. But this gain is paid in almost equal loss, for now you stand accused of guilt for what your brother is. And I’ve seen a lot of people get that far.  “I’m the cause of all this. I’m the guilty one.” That’s exactly the same as saying, “I’m not the cause of any of this.” Why? The concept has nothing to do with the reality at all. A lot of people get that far  – obviously they feel the guilt of their brother starving to death. We’ve got half a million babies, and, well, they’re going to starve to death in the next three months. It doesn’t concern you in the slightest. You are very guilty about it, but it can’t concern you because there’s nothing you can do about it. What a terrible situation to find yourself in. Holy mackerel! Phew!

But this gain is paid in almost equal loss, for now you stand accused of guilt for what your brother is. And you must share this guilt because you choose it for him in the image of your own. Somewhere he has to be guilty if you are. You cannot be totally guilty without transcending. Listen. You cannot be totally guilty of your own conceptual associations without undergoing the experience of enlightenment. It is impossible. You must be kicking some of that guilt out in order to keep your perceptual associations.

The concept of the self has always been the great preoccupation of the world, and everyone believes that he must find the answer to the riddle of himself. That’s his problem. His problem is he must find the answer to the riddle to anything – that somehow truth is a secret and that he can find it in his own self-identity. And everyone believes that he must find the answer to the riddle of himself. I don’t know if I can teach this: Salvation, enlightenment, realization of whole mind can be seen as nothing more than an escape from your own conceptual identity. Period. It does not concern itself with content of the mind at all, but with the simple statement that it thinks. And what can think has choice, and can be shown that different thoughts have different consequences. And you know this. So it can learn that everything it thinks reflects the deep confusion that it feels about how it was made and what it is.

Seek not your Self in symbols. There can be no concept that can stand for what you are, no matter what it is. Do you see this? What do we care about the thought forms you are having about yourself?    They cannot stand for what you are. They can’t. Why? They’re always gone in your own mind anyway. What matters it which concepts you accept when you perceive a self that interacts with your own evil-ness and reacts to wicked things? Your concept of yourself will still remain quite meaningless. And you will not perceive that you can interact but with yourself. To see a guilty world is but the sign your learning has been guided by the world, and you behold it as you see yourself. The concept of the self embraces all you look upon, and nothing is outside of this perception. If you can be hurt by anything, you see a picture of your own secret wishes. Nothing more than this. And in your suffering of any kind you see your own concealed desire to kill.

You will make many concepts of the self – this is the Academy – as your learning goes along, and each one will show the changes in your own relationships, as your perception of yourself is changed. There will be some confusion every time there’s a shift, but be you thankful that the learning of the world is loosening its grasp upon your mind. And be you sure and happy in the confidence that it will go at last, and leave your mind at peace. The role of the accuser will appear in many places and in many forms – because it is in your own mind. And each will seem to be accusing you – because you have found him guilty. Yet have no fear that it will not be undone.

The world can teach no images of you unless you want to learn them. There will come a time when images have all gone by and you will see you know not what you are – you’ve gotten there. It is to this unsealed and open mind that truth returns, unhindered and unbound. Where concepts of the self have been laid by is truth revealed exactly as it is. When every concept has been raised to doubt and question and been recognized as made on no assumption that would stand the light, there is the truth left free to enter into its sanctuary clean and free of guilt.

Then the statement you are afraid of:  I do not know the thing I am, and therefore do not know what I am doing, where I am, or how to look upon the world or on myself. Yet in this learning is salvation born. Wow! What you do in your Academy in that identity of the self in your own concepts, I have no idea. But I don’t know how the world could have that written on the page. I’m not at all sure that  in the frustration that I felt in my majority, had I read this, I would not have immediately sought this out. I’m giving you a statement of fact here. What I just read to you would have been very reasonable to me in any adventure of my own mind as I identify myself. Would it have been to you or not? I don’t know. You know, what I’m saying is existentialism, subjective reality. Is that reasonable to you? That’s a big step. The idea that there’s a single mind or consciousness is very reasonable to me. Always has been. Why? There is a single mind and consciousness. How simple a solution, then, if you are dealing with your own concepts. Where is the difficulty? The necessity for the transformation. Remember that the transformation to reality is a natural occurrence being denied by the perceptual identity. Got that?

 That’s your Academy then. So it is possible to write a preamble to this and declare that this is what this Academy is going to be – without a reference to the Course in Miracles? Sure. Oh, sure. Why? It is very lucid in my mind. It should be lucid in yours.  It is very uncompromising, but we’re not concerned now about the uncompromisingness. We know that the perceptual mind is compromising itself with itself. Isn’t it? That’s your Academy. Where’s your problem? Only in your own mind in entering into it. But it is not the requirement of the association, but the release of the association that will bring this about."

-Master Teacher

"Obviously each moment you are whole and perfect with God because that’s what mind is. You are not going to not be that. That’s such a direct threat to the association that obviously he crucifies it the instant it comes into his mind. He must take the fundamental teachings – I’ll use Jesus, or any whole mind – and immediately deny it because he’s what that is. So this is a direct demand that he reassociate in his own mind his own inevitability of his revolutionary, evolutionary process of the species of man to Universal Mind that is out there, by directing it to his own self-identity. That’s what this says. 

You will choose to follow this world’s laws, and never seek to go beyond its roads nor realize the way to see yourself. Nor can it be unlearned except by lessons aimed to teach that you are something else. There must be lessons that aim to teach that you are something else.   That’s a required admission. Otherwise, you won’t seek it, will you? Many perceptual minds will not seek another association that causes harmony. See how insidious that is? Each moment, each individual credential is satisfied with his own associations. That is a statement of fact, isn’t it? If his own mind has constructed himself in his own identity, he cannot not do that. That’s what he is. 

Thus are the Spirit’s lesson plans arranged in easy steps, that though there may be some lack of ease at times and some distress, there is no shattering of what was learned, but just a re-translation of what seems to be the evidence on its behalf. That is, you must shatter my declaration that you are God’s Love and perfect as God created you. You must shatter that concept in your own mind or you would become perfect as God created you. You are the only living Son of God. You are that Universal Mind. You shatter that in your own mind into self-concepts of your own associations, because it is very fearful to you that you are as God created you. Obviously. How would it not be? You are depending on a time association to keep yourself here, aren’t you? 

Let us consider, then, what proof there is that you are what your brother makes of you. That’s what you say. For even though you do not yet perceive that this is what you think you surely learned by now that you behave as if he can tell you what you are. Does he react for you? No, but he tells me how I ought to react. And does he know exactly what would happen? He has no more idea than you do. Can he see your future and ordain, before it comes, what you should do in every circumstance? Don’t be ridiculous. He must have made the world as well as you to have such prescience, pre-recognition, in the things to come. And he has, in his own limited association with you. How the hell are you going to get out of here? If you listen to him, you’ll only hear what you want to hear in your own mind. Wow. 

Perhaps the reason why this concept must be kept in darkness is that, in the light, the one who would not think it true is you. And what would happen to the world you see, if all its underpinnings were removed? Your concept of the world depends upon this concept of your own self. And both would go, if either one were ever raised to doubt.    That says they would go – that the moment that you raised it to doubt, they’re gone. Boy, talk about the power of the perceptual mind. 

There are alternatives about the thing that you must be. You might, for instance, be the thing you choose to have your brother be. This shifts the concept of the self from what is wholly passive, and at least makes way for active choice, and some acknowledgment that interaction must have entered into it. There is some understanding that you choose for both of you, and what he represents has meaning that was given it by you. This is the first step to subjective reality – that I am causing this. All of this is in Chapter 31. Although this step has gain, it does not yet approach a basic question. Now we’re at cogito ergo sum, “I think, therefore I am,” and I am in association with my own thoughts. I’m trying to teach this as though you had never heard it before, but it’s too late. You are hearing me. There is an admission now of subjective reality, of existentialism, that you are in your own mind. 

It also shows some glimmering of sight in perceptual laws that what you see reflects the state of the perceiver’s mind. That’s a statement of fact, isn’t it? You have it that far. This is Sartre. This is Kant. This is Schopenhauer. This is all of the philosophers. If you read them now, they’ll be saying exactly this, that somewhere they have seen the unreasonableness of objective reality – that something out there in space/time could really direct them to a body association. It is an admission that they don’t know who they are, really, and that by nothing that they do in objective reality can they come to know who they are. That becomes a philosophy of existentialism. No question about it. But this says no matter how much you re-examine yourself in that association, you cannot gain knowledge of yourself because the process is transcendental rather than self-inclusive. 

The key to this is that whatever you are including into your own conceptual identity of self is what there is in the universe, that Self itself is singular. And that’s what’s not acceptable. That requires the experience. It shows some glimmering of sight into perception’s laws that what you see reflects the state of the perceiver’s mind. Now, if you can get the association to begin to do that, he’ll have the experiences because you are a provision in your own memory for his experience of that. That turns mystical immediately. But obviously that’s what you are undergoing in this experience. Now, if you can get him to admit that he’s come there for that purpose, it will become extremely efficacious because he will begin to undergo the experience of his own identity. If he’s coming there to have an experience of death with you, and you have not offered him a fundamental premise of the necessity for the transformation to life, you are not going to get very far with him. That’s what this Academy is for. We understand that he’s going to bring his concepts into that. That’s what we’re teaching, that it is the transformation of the mind. "

-Master Teacher

Jakob Böhme, the great Christian mystic, says, “In a moment I knew more than anyone could learn in Universal Mind.” It’s all in there. Learning, then, is a process of inclusion rather than subtraction. That’s what we’re teaching. This is a process of inclusion, one mind. You listen. You can’t do what you are going to do now in a half measure. If you are going to have an Academy, you have to really make it earthy. My problem is not doing it or not, my problem is how you associate with it. I’m talking to you individually. My problem is how much you really think in your own perceptual mind that a whole mind is giving credence to the perceptual identity. It’s giving none. This is the whole basis of the Course.

Somewhere you are going to have to see that if the whole thing is a façade, you don’t have to be concerned about the subterfuge you are using in your own mind. That will be demonstrated by the release of your individual credential in your teaching devices in the classroom. I assure you this is true. And to the direct extent you individually – I’m talking to you – do not attempt to exchange your own perceptual knowledge, which is futile and ridiculous, with the associations that you are teaching, you can direct them to undergoing the experience of the miracle. That is what will happen when we get them there. We don’t care how they come. But you are saying that you can do that. What will you end up with if you don’t? You’ll end up with another real broad academic association of the denial of reality. And that, in fact, is what occurs. But I’m not concerned about that. Remember, this is just a front. It is just a front. You walk in the front door of this and never come out. Do you hear that? It is called the Borderland. You walk in and you are just gone. Does anyone miss you? No. You might miss yourself for a minute, but walk through the door. That’s the difference between crucifixion and resurrection. If you feel the loneliness of not being whole with God, come here and be whole with God, and you’ll be fine. The other problem you’ll have with this is apparent perceptual aggregate identity. That will always be considered a cult. So let it form in a very broad fashion.

The tendency to enlightenment will cause a circle of Atonement, or brightness in the mandala of the consciousness memory. That happens as this happens. This is a demonstration of the capacity of chaos to come to Light in the broad association. That’s exactly what this is. 

You can teach them that minds communicate and perceptual body identities break off communication. That’s the whole teaching. But you’ve got to get them there first. You sure as hell aren’t going to get them there in Course in Miracles groups because the concepts are ridiculous. They’re reductions to anything. You might as well have astrological groups, communists, or philatelists. Philatelists?! See how limiting groups are? You are saying you are going to come together for another purpose altogether. That’s nice. Just like going to church on Sunday. Actually they come together for another purpose. 

Evolution of the human mind – the awareness of the awareness can be transcended into single awareness. The conflict of the mind in its self-identity is an assertion of a wholeness of mind reached through transformation. So then, this Text of a Mind out of time, teaching you this in your own association will make sense to you. I want to be sure I got this. If you as a human being came into this identity, and I sat here in a chair, where the hell are you with this book? And I’m looking at that. How much are you going to demand a reassociation in your own mind if this book says that all of your concepts are what are binding you to death? Obviously your unwillingness to accept that is the necessity for the Atonement. Is this so? The perceptual necessity to know where this came from has nothing to do with the truth at all. It would require the admission that it comes from something that cannot be understood or somewhere in another time identity. 

Concepts are learned. Guys, I’m talking to you. I want to see if this would work. I’m talking to you in your individual minds. Everybody has an identity in the concept about yourself. They’re always learned by you, aren’t they? They are not natural. Whole mind, or Universal Mind, is only a creative purpose of self-identity. Apart from learning they do not exist. They are not real. They are not given, so they must be made. Not anything that you have brought in here is true. Not one of them is true. How much are you rejecting that in your own mind? I have no idea. None of your concepts are true. I’m not going to go back in and teach this, but this is what we’re saying. Not one of them is true, and many come from feverish imaginations, hot with hatred and distortions born of fear. Remember the movie? (Defending Your Life) You are very fearful about your own associations. I am telling you that if you will let them go now, you will experience a transcendence. Somebody sitting with you will say, “Wow, that was easy. I’m experiencing a transcendence.” Are you saying that then he’s ready in his own time identity to have that experience? Yes. Out of this group, how many are really ready to bring their own I Ching, their own self-identity, genetically, into a total re-cognition of Universal Mind, a translation of the potential of the human mind to identify itself in its own association?

 That’s the Course in Miracles. What is a concept but a thought to which its maker gives a meaning of his own? And the guy says, “Of course I’m doing that!” And you know it. There’s no attempt here at all to make the consciousness say, “There’s a whole thing here that I’m here conceptually to tell you about.” That’s not how you teach this. He is in a continual self-examination of himself in his own identity. That’s what he is, isn’t he? Concepts maintain the world that you see. But they cannot be used to demonstrate that the world is real. Let me see you do it. Now, if the conceptual association says, “I’m satisfied with these forms that are around me, giving me an identity,” obviously he will maintain his satisfaction with that. But you remember this, wherever he is in his own associations has nothing to do with reality at all, and that in fact is this whole teaching. Reassociation does not really have to do with reality, but only with the transformation from the separate, or unreality, to the reality. Right? 

Concepts maintain the world. But they cannot be used to demonstrate that the world is real. For all of them are made within the perceptual mind of the world, born in its shadow, growing in its ways, and finally “maturing” in its own time thoughts. They are ideas of idols, painted with the brushes of the world, which cannot make a single picture representing truth.

 This whole association is to allow you to make one single picture of your holographic mind in time to represent the truth just for one moment. After that you’ll never be the same, because you’ll search for the brightness of your own self-identity within this brush or picture that you have painted of yourself, because it’ll feel good to you, because you’ll like the harmony of it. And you will no longer want the conflict of your own conceptual necessity to hold on to your own identity. That’s what this says, isn’t it? 

A concept of the self is absolutely meaningless, for no one here can see what it is for, and therefore cannot picture what it is. Yet is all learning that the world directs begun and ended with the single aim of teaching you this concept of yourself, that you will choose to follow this world’s laws, and never seek to go beyond its roads nor realize the way to see yourself. You are coming here now as individuals, telling me, “I’m in a chaotic association of a world that’s so limited, and I’m sick and tired of it. I am looking for another identity of myself.” The basis of the Academy is only “Know thyself.” That’s the second Latin slogan, after “Only miraculously can you.” You see? Those are the two slogans, that you must know yourself and can only know yourself by a miracle.

As soon as this happens, this is going to be gone. I’m just going to take one more dip here. And that’s only because you tell me that in this framework it is actually possible to take this very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very simple treatment of individual transformation of mind and insinuate it into a chaotic memory that’s determined not to give itself the power of its own mind – that is literally asleep in its own memory. Who is that that’s asleep? You! Well, you don’t have to stay here. Why the hell would you have to stay here? There isn’t any such place as here. You are only entering into the transition in order to come here for a moment and get the hell out of here.  “But you just said we’re going to have an Academy.” No, I didn’t. I didn’t say anything of the kind. The only problem I have with this is, if I dip down that far, you are just going to include me in with your natural perceptions. I’ll be gone, and you’ll be here with an establishment. If you want to do that with your mind, I can’t stop you. The idea that I am entering in this is going to please a lot of people on this earth because they’re going to be pleased with the idea that their own self-conceptions can lead them to the truth. That’s a lie. But I have to get them in for a moment so I can show them it is a lie. 

-Master Teacher

"So, at the Academy you will teach dance and you will teach painting. Isn’t that a strange and amazing idea? In other words, you are making a provision to allow for the experience; to not deny it, which is really what you are saying. Your preamble says, “Come with an open mind and share the experience of our mutual reality.” Is this it? Try to formulate it in his mind. Obviously you cannot give any attention to a single perceptual obstacle. No. This has nothing to do with the conflict in individual form associations. Is this so? All right. And it is individual. You are teaching individual transformation. There’s obviously no way you can force that transformation on them. But you can reason with them, through their own self-identity, to an assertion that they are more than the objective reality in which they find themselves. Very lovely. 

And it can be done reasonably and must be done reasonably. You have learned what you are and it is not so; that there’s more to you than that. These are what you give them, that the learning of the world falls short of knowledge of any kind if there’s a God – a Universal Mind. I’m just running it up the flagpole, guys, which is exactly what I want you to do when you get to the Academy. Bring them into a group, open it up and run it up the flagpole, and don’t let them get caught in their own stuff. I just want to see where you are with this. You are actually going to teach metamorphosis or transformation of the human condition into a whole loving mind! I don’t care what you call it. I’m absolutely not concerned. You are saying that there’s more in Heaven and earth than you can see out there.  “And while it’s very frightening to me, it need not be frightening if I’ll gradually undergo this experience.” Little do they know!  We’re not concerned about that.

That will all be in the Course, incidentally. This is all in the Course: the confrontation of yourself, the on-going re-association of your mind, individually. So we are in the process of reducing it now, even below the deny-ers of this direct association. This will reduce to the total sleeping ones that have no idea of what we’re doing. You haven’t seen any corruption until you’ve tried to teach this. All right. But you are saying,  “Here it is. Come into it if you can, or if you want to.” And we’re going to use the vehicles of limited association of self-identity. There’s no reason why any Course teacher can’t come here and be a teacher, none at all. They are teaching transformation of the mind. And we can use these teachers if we can get them into a determination to re-associate their own self-identity instead of proclaiming their reality at their limited manifestation of themselves. We’ve got to trick them in that regard. But we understand that the whole thing is a façade. 

The key to this, then, is that this whole thing is just a façade. If you guys can hear this, you’ll have no problem with the Academy. No matter what the apparent perceptual credential is, it is a façade of perceptual unreality, of thought form associations that guard you from the reality of God or whole mind that’s around you. You keep putting on these garbs of identity; you can bring them into this association and examine and release them, through a creative purpose to transcend your apparent identity. That’s nice.

Do you know what the toughest re-association will be? The physical aspects of it. I’m going to tell you this. You have taken for granted, hopefully, somewhere, at least without too much denial, that you are undergoing physical changes in your body association. It is very important that we have a class on endorphins. I don’t care if you call them endorphins, or magnetic cellular synapses of re-association, because the admission of the on-going process can be fit very well into the accord of the transformation if you don’t deal with it specifically. If you want to correlate the chakras as the churches, I think that’s lovely. You’ll have a hundred people who have come here that are going to verify Edgar Cayce’s Armageddon. I don’t care. What do I care? I already know you are doing that. Is it possible that you guys reach that on your own, without me? There’s no question that I’m giving you direction. I know what I’m doing. I’m just teaching total abstraction of God, or re-association, and providing you a mechanism. 

You are saying that it is possible in the Academy, through you –  this is the Course now  –  through the admission of the necessity for your transcendence, or that you come from a common Source, to let go of the necessity to attack or defend your own associations around you. Now you are into the total psychology of the Course in Miracles. Now, obviously if you’ve got a guy coming to study quantum physics, he literally has no correlation between those two ideas. He has none. The idea there’s association between him beating his wife and finding an interstellar quasar doesn’t occur to him. It does not occur to him. You are going to show him that yes, you do participate in your own research, and you are finally only researching yourself. You are researching your own perceptual mind. That’s a hell of a step, that your philosophy is your psychology; that your science is your art. The science of the mind is an art of self-determination through the necessity for the human mind to create, to love and to identity itself. Of course. I won’t take that away from them.

We’re trying to give it to you. You want to tie your ass up in concepts. I don’t want that conflict. I’m going to make this so open that there’s nothing occult about it. You’ll find it is so open that it is totally material. I don’t give a crap. The fundamental premises will remain totally occult. But if you don’t make it objective in the perceptual mind, you remove all the documentation of him. If you’ll use the Course in Miracles  –  and this is a big “time” idea – the documentation is always historically gone, for example, that the mind is gone. What a hell of a tool to teach this! It doesn’t make any difference who they are. You are going to teach them when they sit down, “You are in a conceptual identity of yourself that can be transcended.” 

What do we care if they identify the experience? It is A Course in Miracles. They need to identify themselves. I’m really reducing this. They need to have an experience of the phenomena. You are not going to deny them anything, though. Now, you’ll be attacked and considered foolish because you don’t deny them any perceptual associations of themselves at all, right? All you tell them is, “Hey, let’s get with it. That’s gone. What are we going to do now?” That I am a part of a species that’s evolving to galactic identity? I like it. I see it on television all the time. You Trekies can teach a course in Trekieism. I do not mind you doing it. I think you should do it. The whole idea of space warp, the idea of moving in time is what we teach. 

Now, obviously the constricted discipline will look at us as ridiculous because they’re restricted to their own association. But contained in each batch of those, there is a single consciousness who is questioning his own association. Almost inevitably he’ll be the one that taught it and then realized the futility of his own teaching. If you can get him, you are making real good progress. That’s really the kind of mind we want. That is not to say you won’t get minds that have denied the whole thing from the beginning and will spring into Light and be totally intellectually capacitated. In forty days they’ll know more than everyone that ever knew anything about this."

- Master Teacher

I feel the strong desire to post one of my favorite transcribed talks of the Master Teacher, called "A Master’s Academy."  In this talk, he expresses the true revelatory idea of the "Academy" from an out of time perspective, illuminating it’s true origin, curriculum and purpose.  What an incredibly exciting sojourn…what an infinitely helpful reference to have available to us in our final awakening dream.  It has always been for you…it is given as a shining provision to assist and accelerate your own transformation from a temporal being to the full awareness of the reality of eternal life.  Here is the first part of the talk…I will continue posting segments of it daily until it is complete.  Enjoy!!! With all the Love in the Whole Universe!!!!!!!!!!!  Kris
——————————————————————————-

"Do you want to look at that a minute?  What you are saying, then, is that this is a natural process of perceptual mind –  yours.  The Academy does not evolve from the continued perceptual associations, but only their reassertions in a broader range of conceptual self  –  creative self-expression – the admission of the evolution of man.  Is that it?  That’s what everybody says.  Everybody says that man is evolving.  You are saying that you can have a structural location where you would actually accelerate the evolutionary reassociation of individual man in his mind?  In essence it would have nothing to do with the conceptual association at all, except in the mutual creative purpose of the nobility of man.  You have to teach this real gently initially.  You teach it like Ralph Waldo – that man is more than the sum of his fearful part associations with himself.  And that’s acceptable to everybody, right? 

It is very necessary in this Academy that you make this step to individual transformation initially and all the time.  Let the disciplined identity bring his conceptual self-associations, projected from him, and experience the broadening of his self-identity in the cognition of his association with you in the range of your teaching devices. 

That the fearful constraints in which man finds himself, in this twirling mudball of objective death can be transcended individually in the mind, is that what you are going to tell me?  And the result will be an aggregate reassociation of man in a more harmonious situation of himself in objective time.  You can’t teach it any other way initially.  I’m trying to do the twelve principles of the Academy.  We’re decloaking, do you understand that.  If you decloak, you have to at least formulate it around you some sort of acquiescence to that reassociation.  Hopefully you’ve given me that.  If you decloak this, you don’t really realize what happens.  What happens, actually, is you take the bright identity of you and you literally dip it into shit. Then you are totally unconcerned whether the guy is seeing saucers, or whether he’s writing a story about quantum physics, or whether he’s declaring that Salvador Dali is God.  You don’t care.  Listen to me. We’re saying, “Isn’t that wonderful!”  But there is a process that the human mind is undergoing in a time association to an identity of universal consciousness – an ontological admission of universal mind.  Now, if you have formulated that in scholastic purpose and religious commitment to overcoming fear, you literally cannot be attacked. 

You can be attacked for the idea of transformation, but it is very difficult to do because you already have insinuated that the transformation is a necessity for you to give and love, in the psychology association.  Really what you are saying is, that love –  and we’re going to include the passion of this – is a reasonable association of the necessity for the individual mind to find peace in his own communicative devices.  We are not at all concerned about what those devices are.  Do you hear me?  Do you hear what you are saying?  This is A Course In Miracles. 

In the whole association of the principles it doesn’t even mention the Course in Miracles.  That will be in the curriculum.  I’m not concerned about giving an identity to the Academy except the declaration that it is fundamentally spiritual, that it is a religion or a coming back of the mind.  The trick to the twelve principles of the Academy is not to have any perceptual reference at all, not to mention the Philosophia Perennis and all the other guides that will force the perception – but rather teach that this association is only for the transformation of your mind.  Do you get this?  It has to be done that way. And you are saying that minds at this point in their own time are feeling a regenerative self-identity – certainly you have – that will enable them to come into a new perspective of the relationship with themselves in temporalness.

Well, if that doesn’t occur, is he going to attack you?  Is he a condition of attack if he doesn’t have the experience?  What do you care? You are not concerned about that at all.  You understand me?  You are teaching only what?  Metamorphosis. You are teaching transformation of mind.  That’s acceptable.  That may be acceptable now.  There’s enough loony associations in science that will come here and have the experience. This in no way constricts the self-identity of the individual in his moral value association, in his dedication to being a man or a woman and the head of the family.  It literally does not have to do with that.  There is no request at all that he relinquish anything in his self-association.  Simply in the process of relinquishing his perceptual self, he will realize a noosphere, as Teilhard de Chardin called it, a broader range.  And that can be taught, right?  Taught as what?  An experience. So you are saying that knowledge is an experience, and that knowledge can be gained by an enlightenment of the perceptual mind.  This is an offering of a transition – the declaration that the human perceptual mind is a transition, it is a temporal, transitional association of an evolutionary process.  That sounds so good.  You see, I don’t mind knowing that my destiny is in the stars.  The idea that I can find my destiny now might have a lot of appeal to me if I’m not confronted with too much magical crap about how to do it.

If you can get the fundamental Course In Miracles in.  If you can keep in mind that this is what you are going to do.  And I’m depending on you to do this.  You are the ones here, representing all of man somewhere in time, who keep reducing it to concepts. You are saying that you have now evolved a new association only through the release of you, not through the identity of you.  One of them will actually be, then, the psychology of joy and happiness that emanates. This is very valuable.  We’re going to take a scientific principle of quantum particle-wave association and turn it into a joyous experience of self-identity?  Are you telling me I can do that?  Yes! Can you hear this?  And you are going to teach that it is a different association of the mind that causes the happiness.  It is very important that you evolve the principle of the miracle of giving in this, or you are going to have a lot of problems.  You are not trying to prove anything.  “There’s nothing to prove here” is your statement, and that proof, or a self-concept, is what the fear of reality is.

Listen:  That is real.  I don’t expect them to make the initial step that it’s real.  Our requirement is only right-thinking for a minute.  If I can just get them for minute to say: “Hey, this is a possibility, that there is a transcendent of which I am not aware.” That is the key to this, without getting into the spiritual aspects of it, of God particularly, or doctrine.  “There is a Universal Mind of which I am not now aware because I am caught in my own conceptual identity. Yet I must be included in with Universal Mind because there’s only one mind.  And although I don’t know that, I must be able to come to know it because I am having the experience of transcendence.  I am feeling happiness in this new mind of mine.  And I detect that it really doesn’t have to do with the separate perceptual thoughts, but just in a translation of that thought into a harmonious identity of myself.”

-The Master Teacher

Dearest Ones,
As most of you know by now, the Master Teacher made his transition and passed Tuesday evening around 8:30pm.  There is nothing but light and celebration going on here and all around the universe (along with some tears of gratitude and tenderness) because we ALL feel him so completely present with us and speaking to us from within our minds, with so much love and grace. There are many surprises coming soon…so stand by.
 It is clear that NOW is the time to allow our full illumination to complete Itself in us…and to fulfill our part in the plan of salvation.  We have been given everything we need, and the Old Man and Jesus are totally walking us through this last quick dream sequence and on out beyond this world entirely…*  It is all happening very quickly now.  The main message is to stay present…stay ready for anything!  Listen…and hear the Voice speaking to you from out of time…follow your guiding light.  Listen, receive and be glad!  Just let everything go and come with totally empty hands to God. Let yourself  be filled up with Light and give what you have been given…SHINE!  Let every encounter be one of complete forgiveness and love…the miracle is ever present. There is no past. We are totally here with and for each other and there is nothing to fear.  This is just the beginning… I Love you more than I ever thought possible!!!   Kristen

An Ancient Promise Will Be Kept
An exit portal from this infinitely small maze of space and time has been opened.

Remember, time lasted but an instant in your mind, with no effect upon eternity. And so is all time past, and everything exactly as it was before the watt to nothingness was made. The tiny tick of time in which the first mistake was made, and all of them within that one mistake, held also the Correction for that one, and all of  them that came within the first. And in that tiny instant time was gone, for that was all it ever was. What God gave answer to is answered and is gone.

        *        *        *
If I so choose, I can depart this world entirely. It is not death which makes this possible, but it is change of mind about the purpose of the world. If I believe it has a value as I see it now, so will it still remain for me. But if I see no value in the world as I behold it, nothing that I want to keep as mine or search for as a goal, it will depart from me. For I have not sought for illusions to replace the truth.

Father, my home awaits my glad return. Your Arms are open and I hear Your Voice. What need have I to linger in a place of vain desires and of shattered dreams, when Heaven can so easily be mine?

All of you out there, wherever of whenever you think you are, you are invited to this gathering. This is a celebration of the homecoming of the Teachers of God. You are one of us as we are one together. We invite you to the miraculous advent of the reunion of your mind with the Mind of God. You’ve come a long way; you are very much closer to the end of time than you realize. Now is it time at last to free yourself from this chaotic world of loneliness and loss and pain and death. A world constructed by your own nightmare of self-identity. It was only a meaningless place that justified your continuing need of self-sacrifice and annihilation. You have been using it in order o verify and sustain your apparent existence, and now at last it has become intolerable to you.

Come then, be freed of this burden of fear and self-doubt that you thought was a necessary and inescapable part of your existence. Come and free yourself that the world may be free. Come now to this celebration, you who are heavy-laden. We invite you to experience the incomparable healing energies of love emanating from this ever-expanding circle of atonement. It is formed with teachers of God through their uncompromising commitment to and recognition of the miraculous spontaneous transformation and illumination of their individual minds and bodies.

Listen carefully: Stay watchful for the love that is all about you. Come and lay aside the grievances of your old pitifully fearful helpless self. You are entering into a brand new yet very ancient rapidly accelerating continuum of time, in which you will recognize yourself as a perfect creation of God.

This new video is incredible beyond all description! 

I highly recommend taking an hour (or 2 half hour segments) to watch it and allow yourself the full experience that it affords.  The totality of your shining reality beyond space and time…Here and Now.  Oh my God…thank You!  It is Real…

Failure is all about you while you seek for goals that cannot be achieved. You look for permanence in the impermanent; for love where there is none; for safety in the midst of danger; immortality within the darkness of the dream of death. Who could succeed where contradiction is the setting of his searching, and the place to which he comes to find stability?

Goals which are meaningless are not attained. There is no way to reach them, for the means by which you strive for them are meaningless as they are. Who can use such senseless means and hope through them to gain in anything? Where can they lead? And what could they achieve that offers any hope of being real?

Pursuit of the imagined leads to death because it is the search for nothingness, and while you seek for life you ask for death. You look for safety and security while in your heart you pray for danger and protection for the little dream you made.

Yet searching is inevitable here. For this you came, and you will surely do the thing you came for. But the world can not dictate the goal for which you search unless you give it power to do so. Otherwise, you still are free to choose a goal that lies beyond the world and every worldly thought, and one which comes to you from an idea relinquished yet remembered, old yet new; an echo of a heritage forgot, yet holding everything you really want.

Be glad that search you must. Be glad as well to learn you search for Heaven, and must find the goal you really want. No-one can fail to want this goal, and reach it in the end. God’s Son cannot seek vainly, though he try to force delay, deceive himself, and think that it is hell he seeks. When he is wrong he finds correction, when he wanders off he is led back to his appointed task.

No-one remains in hell, for no one can abandon his Creator, nor affect His perfect, timeless and unchanging Love. You will find Heaven. Everything you seek but this will fall away, yet not because it has been taken from you. It will go because you do not want it. You will reach the goal you really want as certainly as God created you in sinlessness.

Why wait for Heaven? It is here today. Time is the great illusion it is past or in the future. Yet this cannot be if it is where God wills His Son to be. How could the Will of God be in the past or yet to happen? What He wills is now, without a past and wholly futureless. It is as far removed from time as is a tiny candle from a distant star, or what you chose from what you really want.

Heaven remains your one alternative to this strange world you made and all its ways; its shifting patterns and uncertain goals, its painful pleasures and its tragic joys. God made no contradictions. What denies its own existence and attacks itself is not of Him. He did not make two minds, with Heaven as the glad effect of one, and earth the other’s sorry outcome which is Heaven’s opposite in every way.

God does not suffer conflict. Nor is His creation split in two. How could it be His Son could be in hell when God Himself established him in Heaven? Could he lose what the Eternal Will has given him to be his home forever? Let us not try longer to impose an alien will upon His single purpose. He is here because He wills to be, and what He wills is present now beyond the reach of time.

Today we will not choose a paradox in place of truth. How could the Son of God make time to take away the Will of God? He thus denies himself, and contradicts what has no opposite. He thinks he made a hell opposing Heaven, and believes that he abides in what does not exist, while Heaven is the place he cannot find. Leave foolish thoughts like these behind today, and turn your mind to true ideas instead.

No-one can fail who asks to reach the truth, and it is truth we ask to reach today. We will devote ten minutes to this goal three times today, and we will ask to see the rising of the real world to replace the foolish images that we held dear, with true ideas arising in the place of thoughts which have no meaning, no effect, and neither
source nor substance in the truth.

This we acknowledge as we start upon our practice periods. Begin with this:

“I ask to see a different world, and think
A different kind of thought from those I made.
The world I seek I did not make alone,
The thoughts I want to think are not my own.”

For several minutes watch your mind and see, although your eyes are closed, the senseless world you think is real. Review the thoughts as well which are compatible with such a world, and which you think are true. Then let them go, and sink below them to the holy place where they can enter not. There is a door beneath them in your mind which you could not completely lock to hide what lies beyond.

Seek for that door and find it. But before you try to open it, remind yourself no-one can fail who asks to reach the truth, and it is this request you make today. Nothing but this has any meaning now; no other goal is valued now nor sought; nothing before this door you really want, and only what lies past it do you seek.

Put out your hand and see how easily the door swings open with your one intent to go beyond it. Angels light the way, so that all darkness vanishes and you are standing in a light so bright and clear that you can understand all things you see. A tiny moment of surprise, perhaps, will make you pause before you realize the world
you see before you in the light reflects the truth you knew, and did not quite forget in wandering away in dreams.

You cannot fail today. There walks with you the Spirit Heaven sent you that you might approach this door some day, and through His aid slip effortlessly past it to the light. Today that day has come. Today God keeps His ancient promise to His holy Son, as does His Son remember his to Him. This is a day of gladness, for we come to the appointed time and place where you will find the goal of all your
searching here and all the seeking of the world, which ends together as you pass beyond the door.

Remember often that today should be a time of special gladness, and refrain from dismal thoughts and meaningless laments. Salvation’s time has come. Today is set by Heaven Itself to be a time of grace for you and for the world. If you forget this happy fact, remind yourself with this:

“Today I seek and find all that I want.
My single purpose offers it to me.
No-one can fail who asks to reach the truth.”
