You are blessed beings indeed, I am that one that you know as Jesus.
You are all
having your challenges during the 40 days and 40 nights. You will notice when
your mind starts to resist. You will notice when there are excuses like: ‘I'm
too busy. I missed a few days. … ‘
It is very
important to pay attention to these things because these are the excuses your
ego gives you for you are not following your spiritual practice diligently.
When you are
doing your Course in Miracles-lessons life interferes with it and yet you have
to think about it: ‘Oh, I'm dedicating myself to a spiritual practice to
improve my life, my somewhat dysfunctional life, and yet I let my somewhat
dysfunctional life interfere with the actual process that is going to help me.’
So for those
of you that are just beginning A Course in Miracles and we really hope that
these 40 days and nights have inspired many of you to either begin A Course in Miracles
or revisit it, because if you have done the lessons of A Course in Miracles,
but you have let it slide, so to speak, you're not practicing those principles
that you have learned, you will see dysfunction in your life, you will feel
suffering, you will feel sadness and unhappiness apparently for no particular
reason.
When you do A
Course in Miracles-lessons correctly and apply them, you actually don't need to
redo them. This is a fallacy that many of you have, that you keep doing them
over and over again. No, you practice them, you practice the principles when
your mind tells you a lie ‘I am worthless’ you call up the lesson that you have
permanently, indelibly put into your mind through the diligent practice of the
365 days and you counter that live with truth ‘I am a holy child of God, I am
perfect, I am made of love from love’. That is the kind of thought that
counters the egos hatefulness of saying ‘you are useless, you are worthless,
you are unlovable’. So, we want to sort that out today.
So, for
those of you that are beginning A Course in Miracles-lessons understand that
procrastination only extends suffering. It doesn't make you better at learning
the lessons. Some beings will say: ‘well I spent three days on one lesson or a
week on one lesson’. What you are doing is you are allowing your ego to slow
you down. Because they are daily lessons. When I designed that Course, it was a
very slow and steady daily practice to bring you to a place of self-awareness
and self-love.
When you
allow the ego to say ‘I'm going to spend a week on this one’, not only are you
procrastinating, you may think you are diving deeply, but in fact you are
procrastinating, because what you're saying is that you know better, your mind
knows better and this is what gets you all into so much trouble, that you think
you know what you're doing even though you are being driven by unconscious
desires instilled in you by propaganda commercials, TV shows, movies,
blockbuster movies.
These are
all putting, into your mind, beliefs, ideas, principles, ways to conduct your
life that are ruling you, unbeknownst to you. This is why your lives are
dysfunctional. This is why you have sicknesses. This is why you have weight
issues. This is why you're insecure and fearful, because your ego has decided
that you aren't living up to the standards that your society has set.
So, for
example, if you look at the beauty myth that is perpetuated on your TV screens,
almost every single woman on TV and movies is slim and beautiful, regardless of
the role they're playing. You have the occasional overweight or older person,
but often they are joke or they are considered weak or ineffective.
So, you have
thousands and thousands of hours of that programming in your mind, both men and
women have that programming in their mind. And so, if you do not meet the
standard of beauty that these unrealistic images set, then you will feel
terrible about how you look and how you feel and you will hate your body. This
is an epidemic in western society, you will hate your body and you will think
you're justified in doing so, you will not be able to see that. This is coming
from deeply embedded programs that are running in your mind. This is one of the
reasons we ask you to turn off your TV's and be very selective about the
entertainment you watch because as this program runs you are being disempowered
all the time. Women across North America and the western world are deeply
disempowered by their belief that they need to look 25 for their entire lives.
So, when we
say: ‘do as you are told’, we are not being mean to you. What we are saying is:
‘you really don't know what's in your own best interests given the beliefs and
ideas that you have had implanted in your mind and that you allowed to reside
there and that you strengthened by believing.’
So, when you believe a thought ‘I am a failure’, ‘I am useless’, ‘I am ugly’, ‘I'm
unlovable’, ‘nobody will ever fall in love with me’ you are strengthening that
belief. If you believe the thought, if you are a good Course in Miracles
student after your 365 days of now loving indoctrination, then you will hear
the thought ‘I am useless’ and you will recognize it as not true, you will
recognize it as not true and you will not believe it and you will counter it
with a loving belief that you have learned in those 365 days.
So, we want
to reiterate to those of you that have done the Course but are still deeply in
suffering. It is because you are believing the egos dictates, you are believing
the egos thoughts still and you are not responding to those thoughts with
disbelief, you are responding to those thoughts with ‘yes I'm terrible, nobody
will love me’. And when you have a thought like that your frequency will
plummet because you have disconnected yourself from love and you will think
that you feel bad because you are unworthy, but in actual fact you feel bad
because you believed a lie and your guidance system is saying ‘no, don't do
that, backup, backup, backup’.
So, remember
when you feel bad, you have disconnected from love, you have believed a lie or
you have told a lie about what you are witnessing, a lie being an untruth. So,
let us say you are witnessing someone's behavior that you disapprove of for
some reason and you decide they are bad people, and they should be punished. This
is the egos ruling system that your society uses, it has no compassion, no
understanding, no forgiveness. The person who is smashing a window or setting a
car on fire may have lived in such trauma and turmoil for so many years, that
that is all they are capable of doing. And as hard as that is for some of you
to accept when you're living in your comfortable homes, it is important that,
when you feel bad, you understand why.
So, for
those of you that have not yet started A Course in Miracles-lessons, let today
be the day you start. You can start this very moment. You can go to the Foundation
for Inner Peace and you could read the lesson there and then you can go to
YouTube and you can follow our commentary throughout the one that we recorded
last year.
So, let
today be the day that you say: ‘no more procrastination, I am not going to let
my ego win this battle, I'm going to make my mind more loving, I'm going to
give my body a chance to heal’, because that is what happens when your mind
becomes more loving.
So, if you are
sick or you're feeling under the weather or under energized, do A Course in Miracles-lessons
and you will begin to thrive. You must do them as prescribed. You do not have
to like them, you don't have to understand them, just do them.
I am that
one that you know as Jesus and I will speak to you again later
