Wow! Bravo Keith Kavanagh! You played out the error in my mind perfectly! I went into ACIM with the wrong idea that in the end what Jesus is teaching will be the same as what Ekchart, Ramana and Osho teach - the usual I AM practice, silencing the mind, being aware of awareness, the Rupert Spira stuff and Buddhism. Boy was I wring and he is wrong. That’s what I get for superimposing a unique, genius teaching on top of my previous understanding. So difficult to take it as a completly unique thing. You then take parts of ACIM to supplicate your own preconcieved ideas and prove to yourself that you are right! Bravo Keith and bravo to me for seeing how this is played out in relationships and for seeing the error through the reflection and in my mind! Wowzers! Interestiiing! From now on I trust the Apostles interpretation of ACIM — the way that actually showed me extremely positive and powerful effects!

Gary says really the most important part of forgiveness is stopping yourself when that urges of rage and atrack comes. At that point you can choose to forgive, now or later, but better later, using the thoughts he teaches. Found this yesterday when gaming, this guy was just uhhhh… and made me rage at him for like 5 seconds. Then I forgave him and light returned, because I forgave myself for the secret sins I hold about myself. That’s the healing through relationships or ACIM. Forgiveness.

So these ups and downs are necessary. I learn what I still believe to be true that isn’t when I’m in the down period. it’s just best to catch it quickly. Feeling bad? Lost the feeling of light and joy? world turned serious, tense and dark? You feel heavy? Uuuu wrong turn buddy. Go back, turn the other way. Feelings show mistakes in thinking immediately. No need to wait for nightmares and experiences in this life to show those mistakes. “ Forgiveness thought process from Arten and Pursah, helping us to remember the truth of what we really are and where we really are. ~ Mike Lemieux Excerpt from The Disappearance of the Universe: Don't ever forget this forgiveness thought process: You're not really there. If I think you are guilty or the cause of the problem, and if I made you up, then the imagined guilt and fear must be in me. Since the separation form God never occurred, I forgive "both" of us for what we haven't really done. Now there is only innocence, and I join with the Holy Spirit in peace. That is the way the Holy Spirit wants you to think on this level in order to help Him bring you to where levels do not exist. In fact, you will not even recall the concept of levels when the universe disappears and you return home. As the Course says, "You will not remember change and shift in Heaven. You have need of contrast only here. Contrast and differences are necessary teaching aids, for by them you learn what to avoid and what to seek. When you have learned this, you will find the answer that makes the need for any differences disappear." So I now learned that out of all the interpretations and ways to practice the Course, the one Apostles teach is the one that is most effective based on the effects. Makes me light and innocent immediately. Ken is okay, helps me sometimes, especially to drop the belief in needing to sacrifice, but the way he speaks about terrors of the world is making things real, and that isn’t right. There is no ine out there suffering and fighting a hard battle. And forgiveness isn’t just looking without judgement. The thought process of Apostles works miracles. Other interpretations haven’t been able to do that for me. Re-ordered the trilogy books of Gary. Need to catch more of the nuances. Feels like this is the way to go about ACiM - the way Apostles teach it. I tried reading it myself, but Ken is right in that you need an interpreted for it, and Apostles are the best interpreters imo. So clear, succint, direct, make me happy, light, innocent.

So dreams are made from projections. Projection makes perception, Jesus says. It’s not possible to manifest or create a dream in the usual sense of the word. Dreams are symbolic projections coming from the unconscious mind that reveal your thought system. This is not creation in the real sense. Jesus also says only creations of light are real. That’s how God creates. This is my dream of projections, and if I practice forgiveness then I get better projections.

This night was magical. Dreamt of flying through magical realms. Learned to levitate and fly. Forgiveness as I am practicing it is yielding incredible results. Incredible. Woke up and felt like I could almost fly in this dream, but not quite. I did feel powerful and thus tried to play the role of Creator and found it to be not fit for me. So much responsibility, so many decisions, so much strain and seriousness, yet I know not the best path. I tried creating a new, powerful, divine self through changing my beliefs, through seeing myself as different, special, the most honored one even amongst all the other Gods. As in the tv show Sandman. The ruler of the realm of dreams. But it felt so straning, feelings showed me that that is not the Way. I don’t need to do this. I need to only practice the way Apostles teach, nothing more. More is actually worse. If I get magical powers or things chsnge so be it. I will not try to reshape myself through belief and effort. It didn’t even work, I don’t have such power. Thus I am not the creator but the observer and enjoyer of life. Now this feels good and right. Playful and joyus. Carefree. Trusting. Yes, this is my role. I think even this dream has scripts that can play out that reflect the laws if Heaven, showing I an taken care of and need do nothing but floe and enjoy. The correction script of the Holy Spirit.

I am not created to be the Creator. I am created to be the observer, the enjoyer of life. I tried being the creator and destroyer of worlds and it only made me strained, serious, unhappy. Powerful? Perhaps. Yet what is power without happiness? I choose the second place to gain the first. I an the Son of God, I am at the effect of God the Father. That is the difference between us. He Creates - I Enjoy. I want to care not for a monent into the future. I want to simply Trust in God and enjoy the gentle flow of life from now and for all eternity. I trust He arranges all for my benefit and takes care of me always. He is teaching me who I am and how to awaken.

Took a nap and woke up feeling do amazing. Actually feel amazing all the time now with this practice.. feels like I’m on a small dose of a very pure mdma.. this is love… wow!!! If this stays and keeps growing… mmm m….. God is goood! 🙏🖤

A guily mind feels so heavy, so dark. Back to seriousness — that part where J says a tiny mad idea at which the son of God remember not to laugh, the not to laugh part is soo fundamental. I made it serious and then felt guilty. All i had to do was laugh it away, not take it seriously. All is still One. No seperation. One with God. Still in Heaven. Tadaaa
-
A guiltless mind does not suffer.
-
I’ve never heard anyone else put it the way Apostle did, that because I am one my unconscious mind interprets every thought as though it’s about me and that even establishes my identity long-term, and they use this understanding to awaken. And I tested it and its trueeeee whaaat but I didnt believe it and thought throughout the day that other people dont exist and one night my mind freaked out so muuch thinking that it/I doesnt exist! And it felt like it was about to dissapear! Wowzers again! So inportant. So true. Thank you!

CoolDreamThanks posted a topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Let me know what you guys think about this; Since life is a dream, all we are seeing “outside” is what we are projecting from inside. In this view, isn’t it optimal to think about everyone and everything as perfect and divine, so that this type of a thought system gets projected outside? Also, thoughts obviously create feelings, so why not think only the highest about everything and everyone so you would feel happy? Basically, you would walk around reminding yourself you are dreaming and thinking about everything and everyone as divine. Then, you would feel extremely happy and that happiness and those thoughts would be expressed in your life, which is merely your dream, in various forms. Ultimately, when you master this thought system, you would feel divine yourself and this dream would be just a very magical ride. Isn’t this the best way to go about things now that we know we are dreaming and our minds are very powerful? This type of a path also wouldnt require any sacrifice, like Brachmacharya or whatever. Why would you need to sacrifice anything except your thoughts of litleness and judgement to awaken? Thinking you have to sacrifice pleasures of the world to awaken would only make the world real and more powerful than your mind, thus working against you in your awakening. It’s like taking the ultimate responsibility for what you see because what you see is only there becayse of your thought system, since it’s literally only you dreaming all of this world. So, a sick world is only showing you your sick mind. Instead, we have to train ourselves to think only divine and perfect thoughts about everything Nd everyone, and that is what we will feel about ourselves and what will happen in our experience. Let me know P.S. I learned about this “spiritual practice” from the book the Dissapearance of the Universe by Gary Renard a few years ago and was contemplating, testing it out ever since. -
We are indeed close

Thinking about Her also feels light and innocent, healthy, joyus and peaceful, which means it’s right to do and might even be an indicator that it will happen 🖤☺️ I see a divine gentle awakening with her, where we spend out days in gentle embrace, traveling, eating tasty food, spending time in nature. I am wealthy, I can take care of her and give her everything she wants, we are blessed. We travel to Sri Lanka, buy sine local semi-precious stones, spend time at the beach, eat at amazing restaurants, visit the jungle, pet monkeys. Sooo much fun! She’s like the perfect symbol of divine love.. innocence.. beuty.. light.. mmmmm…
-
Wow I don’t even need that much sleep in this innocent state. There’s such a nice lightness surrounding the body. It feels like health. Guiltlesness is health. Beautifuuul ☺️☺️🕊️🕊️
-
Yessss! Even betore going to sleep I knew I m on the right track, on the who to innocence, light and awakening, but my dream just confirmed that I am entering the state if innocence. Dreamt a dream o gentle, so symbolic of realizing my error and correcting it gently and returning to innocence, symbolized by being with the love of my life in my dream and not hurting her pure heart anymore by choosing not to shake hands with guilt. Mmm… even upon waking up I feel so light.. so full of gentle joy. Yesss. Finally, I am definately on the right track. Wohooooo!!!! I hope I get back with her in this dream as well 🖤🖤 whatever the Spirit finds to be for the highest good of awakening, of course. Use me for your plan 🖤 but she is Divine and perfect.. Loved those years where I lived in her gentle embrace.. would love to do that again ☺️🖤 she’s such a perfect expression of innocence and beauty, non-judgement and connection with Jesus. Mmmm love her so muuuuch! Loving this!!! Finally, finalllyyyyyyy!! Thank you Jesus and Gary and Apostles and Ken and Keith! Thank you for showing me that no sacrifice is needed, only forgiveness. What a gentle awakening.. I feel so light.. so happy..so clear! So playful and non serious 😈

Also noticed how trying to precisely, analytically get the distinction between God the Father, Spirit, and Son of God is egoic. It causes strain and guilt. I'll leave it at that: Father is like the ultimate union - the Kingdom of Heaven, Spirit is like the part of my mind that knows and helps me awaken, and I am the same as God, the totality, but God asleep right now, something like that, whateva. Life becomes so joyous when there's less guilt in the mind, less belief in sacrifice. You can enjoy it and awaken gently. No seriousness, just laughter and happiness. Peace, guiltlesness, innocence. Oneness. I am Divine. My mind is healing. I see all as perfect and innocent, totality of God. So beautiful! So happy!

Peeerfect summary of life, nothing more to learn. You are perfect God. Dreaming. Time to wakey wakey. People are images, figures in the dream. Awareness of dreaming is the function of the miracle worker. Forgiveness is knowing you are dreaming people up and so they are innocent. They can show you things about you if you use relationships correctly. Time saving function. Mirrors. Spirit doesn't ask to give up the world, just judgement and seriousness. And to see there is no world. cool beans. Anything you think about another person your unconscious interpets as thought it's about you, because it's all about you. And those thoughts determine how you feel and ultimately even what you believe and experience yourself to be. So you determine your identity by how you see others! wowzers! There are no others, all ur dream, so just think about others like what you really are - the totality of the Kingdom of Heaven! All of it! The toootal God! If you see others as guilty, then you will feel guilty and experience guilt in your nighttime dreams and daytime dreams. Apostles said there are different scripts based on what you feel - guilty or innocent manifestation of the highest level. cool cool cool goood. And also including Resting in God into the equation of course. As long as I feel innocent and peaceful, divine, and see others as same as me - totality of God's kingdom - I am chilling. No need to take acim seriously and hit myself over the head with it, which I 've been doing. ups.

Follow the map alan dolit Many years ago when I first became involved with A Course in Miracles, although I basically understood what it was saying, there were many passages that made little sense to me at the time. I remember pondering about it and one evening whether in a dream or waking dream I got the following message. “Alan look at the Course as if it were a US map. You are in New York and plan to drive to California. It is important to know the way, but it is not all that important to know every byway that has nothing to do with your journey. “The Course tells us (T-8.I.1. Knowledge is not the motivation for learning this course. 2 Peace is.) Jesus said in the New Testament: “The Sabbath was made for man, man wasn’t made for the Sabbath.” Likewise The Course was meant to be a tool to help us come to peace, to help us wake up to our reality. It wasn’t meant to be a weapon to beat us up if we don’t do it precisely. I’ve gotten many messages subsequently which basically say “Don’t take the Course seriously. Take it joyfully. Remember to laugh; it is the fast track out of here. Seriousness causes reincarnation. The Course is for you (any you who is studying it). If you read or watch the news and get upset, remember lesson 2. I have given everything I see all the meaning it has for me. And lesson 5. I am never upset for the reason I think. And lesson 32. I have invented the world I see. And lesson 34. I could see peace instead of this. So remember if you ever feel upset about anything go within, call for help to find a way to come to peace. Remember being upset or worried has never solved any problems and has probably exacerbated them.

I didn't understand before how important being playful and not taking things seriously is. Seriousness is literally the foundation of the ego and guilt.
-
Now in terms if Presence practice — it’s a core practice, very fundamental, but as long as it doesn’t become something I make myself guilty about not doing 24/7. It just happens when happens, when I want to do it I do it. If I want to think about fun, light stuff that’s fine, as long as it’s non-judgemental and not serious. I actually dive deeper into stillness after a day of thinking non-judgemental thoughts, seeing everyone as innocent and perfect, and not taking things seriously than when seriously trying to master stillness. Haha interesting. It’s so paradoxical. Like the asian finger trap.
-
I put myself in sooo much misery and trouble with the whole idea of needing to go beyond pleasures and desire. Instead of helping me awaken it just brought me down into guilt, so the opposite of awakening. Haha interesting. Awakening is about non-judgement, about knowing that I am dreaming, about seeing everyone as innocent, about forgiveness, true forgiveness which says they are all innocent and perfect because I made them up, I am dreaming them. Simple. Seeing relationships as mirrors - they act out what I believe about myself. Thank you beautiful actors. All I have to change are beliefs about myself — I am perfect and innocent, the Single Son of God, the totality of Existence. Powerful, loving and lovable. No judgement of myself or others. So simple and joyus to awaken thus.
-
So current POV on awakening is that it’s all about just going with the flow, enjoying life, seeing everyone as innocent and perfect divine beings, especially forgiving those I don’t like or that trigger me, since that’s how I forgive myself, and just in general seeing all of this as a silly joke, just a meaningless dream. Looking at it all playfully dissolves ego and brings me back to lightness, which leads to enlightenment. Still resting in God, but the core of it all is that I am already pure an innocent, just need to stay here without making things serious as that leada to guilt. Judgement does the same. I can think as long as I’m thinking only thoughts of Spirit - that I am dreaming, I an innocent, all is well and perfect, all is taken care of, etc. No need to purify myself or meditate alot. Just living lightly in the flow.

If God is asleep, why would he need to restrict his desires to awaken? If anything God has to reclaim his power to manifest anything he wants. restrictions, ascetisism is a form of supplication to someone higher. What if there is no one higher, just you? Who higher is there than you in your own dreams? At the highest levels of awakening you are in a constant creation orgasm. When you restrict desires you are restricting your natural desire to create and experience your creation. You know that something is in allignment with who you are when that something feels amazing, alive, pure, peaceful, gentle, exciting. Again, feelings are a measuring stick of whether you are on the right path or not, since what you are fundamentally is Love, so how can you awaken by feeling bad? If you feel serious or guilty or heavy you are going in the wrong direction in your mind. Change it. You are A God. All is yours. All is you. Your will is One. Own it. Accept it. Use it.
