Channeling Jezus - # Dag 27 - Avondsessie - van 40 dagen met Jezus

 

You are blessed beings, indeed. I am the one that you know as Jesus.

The exponential growth that you are going through right now can be tiring. Attempting to change habits, as we are asking you to do, asking you to think about things that you do not normally think about, focusing on aspects of your life that have been unconscious, this requires a lot of effort and the ego is not happy about this. The ego mind is the doubting part of your mind. It is the questioning part of your mind. It is the part of your mind that is fearful. It is the part of your mind that is separation-focused and attack-focused. And so, when you begin to push the boundaries of its dictates, it will begin to tell you to stop the practice. It will perceive the practice of forgiveness, the practice of appreciation, gratitude, paying attention to the unconscious, it will perceive these as a threat to its system of protection.
So, the ego mind has come up with a multiplicity of adaptations given the experiences you have had as human being in the past. It has decided that it has designed a perfect system for you to stay safe. The ego's desire to stay safe has nothing to do however with your happiness, with love, with your consciousness expansion. The ego is all about restriction and limitation and attack.

So, when you begin to challenge the ego - and this is a part of your mind, it is not separate from you in that sense, but it is separate from spirit, it is separate from love, it is unloving, it is fear driven and fear-based, so it is the opposite of love - in that sense, it will counsel you against these practices because it perceives these as a threat.

Why is it a threat? Well, these strategies that the ego mind has set up are based on simple experiences: somebody in a yellow sweater attacked me once, so I will always stay away from people in yellow sweaters. At one time a man or a woman was nasty to me, so therefore I do not trust men or women whichever you are. It will come up with strategies such as these. Sweeping blanket statements about yellow sweaters and members of the opposite sex in an effort to keep you from feeling pain and suffering and potential death. Ironically enough the ego will counsel you to eat multiple pieces of chocolate cake. It does not have a sane mind in that sense. The ego is insane. It will counsel you to stay away from people to stay safe, but it will also counsel you to drink a bottle of vodka to quell your fears. So, it is incredibly crazy, and it will promote crazy behavior.

So, in the sessions that we are doing with all of you and these prescriptions that we give you, the ego is not going to like it because the prescriptions that we are giving you are challenging its dictates. And so, if you feel increasing resistance to doing this work, if you feel increasing fear or confusion, this is what is happening. The ego has decided that these lessons are dangerous to your survival, when you think about it, forgiveness is dangerous to survival, as far as the ego is concerned. The ego is always concerned with the body, it values bodies and it hates and loves bodies, it worships and decries bodies. Again, it is very, very inconsistent. And when you side with the ego you will have very up and down experience because of this inconsistency.

In A course in miracles there is a consistent focus which is love and forgiveness. There is a consistent desire for peace and that is what is directing those lessons. The desire for peace. Peace of mind is everything. Peace of mind means that you are no longer battling with yourself. It means you are no longer fighting with the world. The world is manifested from the past. The current world that you are seeing is manifested from the past. And so, battling with the current manifestation is pointless. If you do not like the current manifestation, shift your mind, shift your focus to that which you want. It is a very simple practice, but the ego does not agree with it.

So, as you go into these lessons, understand that there can be some resistance. There can be a voice in your mind saying: ‘do not do these things, this isn't going to work out very well for us’. The ego is the past, it is fearful, it is aggressive as it is attacking, and it is unforgiving. And so, whenever we counselled against any of those things, it will not like it. So be aware of this if you feel resistance, if you feel wanting to back off from these lessons, trust that these lessons are good, they are leading you towards love, they are leading you towards sound sleep with angels guarding you.

I am the one that you know as Jesus and I will speak to you again tomorrow.
