It’s also not just a practice of Silence, it’s literally a shift of identity from the false, conceptual one to the true, Son of God or Spirit identity. 
 

And when only this identity remains, then the Union with Father can happen.

Does the form change when one is rooted in his true Identity? Ken says sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t. If you are still concerned with the form it means you aren’t practicing correctly. If you are truly in deep peace then form doesn’t matter at all.

Actually, I feel no guidance to teach formally. I think the desire to teach comes from my ego, or to write about A Course in Miracles. There's nothing to really write or teach about. Jesus himself says that to teach is to demonstrate. So my teaching should be a demonstration of deep peace emanating from me. That's it. I feel no guidance from higher up to teach, and there are no signs that I should. So I will focus on simply deepening my practice. And that's it. Teaching, I think, is an egoic desire at this point.

Now there is one thing I want to do for myself that I feel will be valuable, and I can make some money from it potentially. I want to basically write quite long, in-depth essays on each major topic. Like pleasures, money, enlightenment, the nature of this world, and so on, based on Ken Wapnick's interpretation, his books. And I might write reviews of Ken Wapnick's books. I think I will do it on Medium. I guess it's possible to make nothing there, but it's also possible to make a thousand or few if the article goes viral. Which probably is impossible for A Course in Miracles teachings, but it doesn't matter. Even if I make a hundred one month, or if I never make anything, at least there's some potential of making money, and it will be very valuable for myself to write those in-depth articles. And just why not? I won't be hurting anyone, it will be helpful for myself, and there's a potential for something to happen.

I had my first workout with resistance bands at home yesterday. I love it. I love that I can listen to my own music. There's no one around me, it's so private. I can see myself working out in the mirror for some of the exercises. I can see the activation of the muscles. Now I feel like I had a good workout, I feel sore. I actually want to work out as soon as possible again, I loved it. I love the energy of working out and listening to motivational, aggressive rap music. And I love how my body looks when it's pumped. And I think I can create a pretty good body working out at home. I don't really care about it that much, but yeah, why not?

The Bible is one large metaphor.  
 

Enemies, the attacking nations and all other such symbols are merely metaphors for the attack thoughts in our own minds.

Been dreaming nightmares where an exam is approaching and I haven't read the necessary books. It's just a symbolic expression of my thoughts during the day, which say that I should be reading all of Ken Wapnick's books to prepare for the "enlightenment exam."

That, I think, causes some guilt in my mind, as though I'm not a good student, I'm falling behind, or something of that sort. maybe I even make it soo serious of an issue. 

To be honest, in the end, no matter how much I read, I don't really retain much. It all, in the end, comes down to being Present and deepening the practice of Presence until it dissolves the world of dreams and I come back to God. 

Not even sure I should be reading more, it seems redundant. Will try to live from the mindset that I have all the theory I need and now all I have to do is practice. Might change my mind and still read or listen to Ken, not sure. 

What is actually helpful is just living in stillness and whenever something disturbs my mind -- I look at that and figure out why -- what is wrong, and when I figure out the mistake I was making in my mind - that is a large improvement. When I read books now it just seems like unrelated theory that doesn't really help.

I don't think I need to study hard and write essays on Ken's teachings. Perhaps from now on, all I have to do is be still and walk in that stillness until the end of my life without really doing anything special. Just working at my day job, surviving, practicing, surrendering to whatever happens, not striving to achieve anything, that's it. Will probably still exercise, eat food, play video games, whatever, just being sort of normal. Although I do think I will keep my mindset of not really spending time with ego's -- it's valueless, I prefer being alone. Hakim said all advanced spiritual students prefer being alone. Makes sense. SO that's it, a very simple life - practicing presence, living normally and isolated, working at my dayjob, trying to maintain non-conclictual life, nothing else to do really.

Okay, so my idea to be antisocial is still oppositionality, and once again, I don't know what's best for me. It's an arrogant thing to do, to say, I won't be social, that's better. I don't know what's better. And today, it seems like it's better to just go with the flow. If social situations happen, just be in social situations, and if you're alone, just be alone. Maybe those social situations can be helpful and fun, even for awakening, so yeah, I should drop all positionalities, including this antisocial one.

Top comment so true. New girls, after like 8 years still feel like cheating. And no one comes close to her, she was in a different dimension in all ways. I’d rather have one month with her than a lifetime with anyone else.

My colleague is trying to set me up with her friend, but no.. just no.. i was being polite, I mean she’s surface level sexy, but compared to my ex she’s nothing, I wont be able to fall inlove with her, why waste my time? I already tried being with these mid-level, background character NPC girls, but they’re just empty. I’m often nin-judgemental And can tolerate them and be with them, but there’S no deep love there.  My love was the incarnation of Saint Mary. It’s natural then, that, comparatively, nothing comes close. Girls even tell me they see that I am pretending that I like them. And that’s true.. I should be honest with myself and others and say: I was inlove with a perfect woman, no one will ever come close to her and I will never be able to love anyone else. There’s freedom in this. I am open to meeting her again or someone like her, but for now and the last 10 years — I haven’t met a single woman in this dream that is as divine as her. And it makes sense that I was the one to he with her for 4 years, given I’m the only on here. All those times clubbing, tinder, etc, all those girls were nothing, just ghosts in my dream I feel nothing for. They don’t have the divine spark in them and the perfect beauty my ex had. I’m satisfied, I can die peacefully after that relationship, nothing better can ever happen in this dream.

Okay, so I have a sharp pain in my chest when thinking that that girl is slutty and only surface-level sexy, and she will not provide any value for me, I should only think about my ex and just isolate myself, and not attempt to get into any relationships. So that clearly means it's a wrong thing to do. It's another positionality. I just have one positionality after another in my mind. I should just drop this one in terms of relationships as well. I should just keep everything very open-minded and open-ended. I shouldn't think that, oh, this will not be a good relationship, she's too slutty, or all of these judgments. I should just go with the flow, whatever happens, happens. I should stop making these assumptions, thinking I know what's good, what's bad, how that relationship will look like, getting into a positionality. So yeah, dropping that and just being open-minded and going with the flow.

Importantly, I see that positionalities make me unhappy. They zap enjoyment out of life. So it's always wrong thing to do. Although there is some attraction to it. Like romanticizing that you only had one partner and there's nothing else for you to find here. You can find enjoyment in those positionalities. Some egoic juice, as David Hawkins would put it. But in the end, they do make you unhappy, close-minded. And there might be gifts that relationships or situations are there to bestow upon you. And because you have a positionality, you won't be able to receive that gift. So yeah, it's better to have no positionalities, just be open-minded and just go with the flow, with everything.

Ken and Keith, so Jesus as well, teach that you shouldn't attempt to change your ego - your psychological, thinking self. Keep it as it is, it can't change, just observe it without getting involved in it.

That's so true - trying to change or fix your thoughts is such a bother, and at this point, even after all that practice I see how the mind is as angry and evil as it was before all the work. It will never change, that is its nature. What you do is observe it and begin to detach your sense of self from it.
