Show don't tell. All I need to know is what happened after you got up this morning. Speak about today, forget everything else. Parroting does the world a disservice, you included. This is because to teach is to learn. Any teacher can confirm. -
All wealth does is build a bigger wall between you and me. You have no genuine friends no sincere partners and your family is thinking about your death and their cut. The only smart wealth is hidden wealth. I am a wealthy man myself. So wealthy I have not a clue how much I am worth. I live a good lifestyle with no yachts and cars. I just downsized 90% of my possessions too. My mission is to to go to heaven and have my last check bounce since I disposed of every last dime. The key to happiness isn't wealth. It is never telling a soul you have money or even giving a clue by your conspicuous consumption. Then the friends and partners and family will be happy too. I am generous to a fault. People think I am working my rear off. I work because I want to. Life is good.

A good book to read would be, The Disappearance of the Universe. It's a gentle introduction to ACIM, a true story though it will read as fiction to most people. I am not sure about any others who get this. The ACIM reddit group knows the metaphysics deeply. I am still a beginner myself and experience enormous resistance rolling back the ego. I do believe I am moving in the right direction with it. It is no good just understanding it. The ego loves that. The key is implementing in every interaction and treating everyone as God's lost child. See God in all so that God will speak back to you.

In heaven there is choice. You don't need it but you have it. You are allowed to imagine there is non-heaven and even take an apparent vacation there. But it's a silly thing to do as we all now know when staying here. There is no bad. But god wouldn't be much fun if he didn't allow his kids some latitude to try out stuff. Every parent knows this is love.

No children here. Guess I'm destined to be a cat man forever.

It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it. -

Your understanding religion is limited by your level of consciousness. I woke up and now Jesus makes perfect sense. Had I stayed a Jesus follower I would have been trapped forever. The prerequisite for religion to make sense to you is to know who is this you to whom you want it to make sense. Until then nothing will help you. It is not only religions that will make zero sense. Everything will. Learn how to use your eyes properly first. Easy to criticise the world and religions and people. You are finding problems where they don't exist. You yourself created this universe you live in. Quit being lazy, humble yourself and enter within concerning which no person on earth can speak. -
There isn't should. It was done. It is undone. Time only seems to be. This universe is a mistaken detour immediately corrected. God allows his children to enter dead ends of their own making. To see they are nothing. You won't want to make a silly mistake twice. Life is perfect in heaven.

I agree Emil1234. You method is great. You came a long way. These things need to be tweaked as time goes by. Keep refining it and deepening awareness. -
Nothing is bad. Rather it is mad, sad, self-harming and doomed to failure.
-
To be present in this universe means that one believes one created this separation. It is all a bad dream just like you engage in at night. The imagination of God's children can create whole universes. They are mere distractions from the bliss of heaven.

Following illusion is actually impossible. It is illusionary after all. But God lets you try if it is your wish. You will find it an unhappy experience.
-
God is non-coercive and gives free will to its creations. Everyone has the choice, to follow illusion or to follow truth - the reality of God. To follow illusion is unhappiness and everyone will eventually return to God. Since it is illusion and equivalent to a bad dream, not one note in heaven's orchestra is missed.
-
All mystics will agree on these attributes for God. If it is good, it is God. If it's bad it is illusion. That is how oneness works. God is the supreme state of being. Words are poor translations.
-
Knowledge is impossible with a limited mind. Have faith. Which means to be rid of all knowledge that you have. Then realization can happen. With the mind one can know about God such as loving, creative, eternal, joyful etc. but that is all

My ongoing process is as simple as it is profound. Whatever arises in awareness, I ask myself: Does this scenario represent love and truth, or fear and illusion? If it is loving, beneficial, and divine, I bask and glow and amplify it, sharing it in any way practical and reinforcing its reality. If on the other hand it is fearful, limiting, and damaging, I recognise the scenario as a misperception, a request to bring love rather than an excuse to wage battle. I can thereby forgive it - not by condoning or repressing it - but by seeing its purpose, letting it go, and allowing the suitable correction to take place in my mind. In this way, I allow myself to shift perception from one of unconsciousness to consciousness, from one of illusion to truth and from one of fear to love. -
One cannot know God because that would make God dualistic. One can only be part of God. And therein lies the work. To dissolve the apparent separation and return to heaven. Best way to think of God is love. But love far different from that experienced here. Love means you and I are the same and therefore I should act as though you were a connected piece of me, a long lost limb if you will.

Conversely pain is the gateway. Nobody wakes up in a cave.

And don't just embrace, undo. Don't see the darkness. shine the light. Don't be comfortable with guilt. Proclaim innocence to one and all. Set the prisoners free most importantly oneself.

I don't know. I need help. Please help me.

This is ego speaking. There are higher levels of ego and lesser levels. Every human is the same. We are apologists for ego or for God. Not many are the latter and this is what it means to be a truth seeker. First step is quell ego. Look around you and say I understand absolutely nothing that my eyes show me.

We do need words and names to communicate. It's like when you are in relationship with someone; at first their name means everything. Later you don't even think of their name. Mind cannot understand. Mind is a barrier to understanding. Mind pretends to understands and likes to feel smart. All minds do this and can do no else. Words are useful until they have no use. When you want you foot to move forwards, do you need words to tell it so. Same with God, we are one and all is clear. Jesus needed to communicate in terms that the people 2000 years ago could grasp. He had to be extremely careful in his teachings. All his teachings make abundant sense to one who is awakened. One caveat is that sometimes his words were distorted to fit the prevailing doctrines. Two things that are important about Jesus: one he showed that death has no power and two he was the first man who saw the face of God in every person he looked at and because of that he was able to perform miracles and forgive misdeeds. We are told to go out and do likewise. The highest teaching of Jesus imo is the gospel of Thomas recently dictated by an angel of God called Pursah: https://www.garyrenard.com/pgoth.html

One man's thief is another man's Robbing Hood. One man's terrorist is another man's imperialist liberator. One man's rapist is another man's biological clock. One man's sociopath is another man's rubbish boundaries. -
God has no desire for acknowledgement. God's nature is to love everything and create everything as loving it back. That's how it makes everyone. You don't need to even think about God. God is well beyond any thought you can have. Mind is what leads you astray, the state of no-mind is what needs cultivating. This means alignment with Holy Spirit, one's Higher Self. This takes place by silence, meditation, mindfulness, contemplation, etc. Basically it is letting God take the wheel of life instead of the ego. Following is just knowing and living as one's true nature, a beautiful child of the ineffable Creator.
