It is impossible that anything should come to me unbidden by myself. ²Even in this world, it is I who rule my destiny.³What happens is what I desire. ⁴What does not occur is what I do not want to happen. ⁵This must I accept. ⁶For thus am I led past this world to my creations, children of my will, in Heaven where my holy Self abides with them and Him Who has created me.

There is no one who does not feel that he is imprisoned in some way. ²If this is the result of his own free will he must regard his will as not free, or the circular reasoning in this position would be quite apparent. ³Free will must lead to freedom. ⁴Judgment always imprisons because it separates segments of reality by the unstable scales of desire. ⁵Wishes are not facts. ⁶To wish is to imply that willing is not sufficient. ⁷Yet no one in his right mind believes that what is wished is as real as what is willed. ⁸Instead of “Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven” say, “Will ye first the Kingdom of Heaven,” and you have said, “I know what I am and I accept my own inheritance.” (ACIM, T-3.VI.9:2-5;11:1-8) 

 

²You have not usurped the power of God, but you have lost it. ³Fortunately, to lose something does not mean that it has gone. ⁴It merely means that you do not remember where it is. (ACIM, T-3.VI.9:2-4)

Jesus uses the word consciousness diferently than others. He says consciousness is the belief that you are a perceiver, rather than a creator, and it is the first split introduced into the mind after the separation. Do I really believe I am the creator of this universe, that I call everything to myself, every moment of every day? No, I still believe things just happen. Yet Jesus says I rule my destiny, I call everything to myself, I can even will Heaven into place. Wishing is an egoic place, still rooted within the belief of being a perceiver rather than creator and there being a seperate God who can fulfill your wishes. A very limiting, disempowering state of mind the state of prayer is.

Perhaps the peace of God Jesus talks about is not the same as what Ekhart and Osho and Ken talk about? Peace of God comes from realizing you are God, not from trying to silence your mind or pay no attention to it. The mind is beautiful, powerful and loving when it knows what it is and the power it holds. The mind is only fearful and anxious when it believes it is limited, powerless, and merely an observer of life instead of being the creator of life. Does not your mind fall into silence and love naturally, when you accept you are God?

The calm being of God’s Kingdom, which in your sane mind is perfectly conscious, is ruthlessly banished from the part of the mind the ego rules. ²The ego is desperate because it opposes literally invincible odds, whether you are asleep or awake. ³Consider how much vigilance you have been willing to exert to protect your ego, and how little to protect your right mind. ⁴Who but the insane would undertake to believe what is not true, and then protect this belief at the cost of truth? (ACIM, T-4.III.10:1-4) 

 

This is what I am talking about. Teachers who teach being observers of the insane mind are in denial of the fact that they still believe those insane thoughts about themselves, that is why they are there. When you believe you are the Kingdom of Heaven Himself, then you experience the calm of God naturally. 
 

And that means you don’t look at life as an observer, but as a creator. You accept that you are creating all of this, this is your creation. This way, you undo the initial primary split of the seperation from being a God.

Have you really considered how many opportunities you have had to gladden yourself, and how many of them you have refused? ²There is no limit to the power of a Son of God, but he can limit the expression of his power as much as he chooses. ³Your mind and mine can unite in shining your ego away, releasing the strength of God into everything you think and do. ⁴Do not settle for anything less than this, and refuse to accept anything but this as your goal. ⁵Watch your mind carefully for any beliefs that hinder its accomplishment, and step away from them. ⁶Judge how well you have done this by your own feelings, for this is the one right use of judgment. (ACIM, T-4.IV.8:1-6) 

 

when you accept that you are A God and you literally have all the power in the universe, how do you feel? By that feeling you can judge if you are united with your true Self aka God or with ego. 
 

Being aware of awareness doesn’t feel joyus or empowering or Divine, it feels neutral, with ego still lingering in the background. Keith Kavanagh is wrong, Jesus is not teaching the same thing that the East and Ekchart Tolle and Osho were teaching.  
 

This path is different, it is a path to God by changing your thoughts from fearful thoughts of ego to the Divine thoughts of Love, which, fundamentally, change your perception of yourself from being limited and at the effect of life to being the Creator and the God of all existence.

Everyone experiences fear. ²Yet it would take very little right thinking to realize why fear occurs. ³Few appreciate the real power of the mind, and no one remains fully aware of it all the time. ⁴However, if you hope to spare yourself from fear there are some things you must realize, and realize fully. ⁵The mind is very powerful, and never loses its creative force. ⁶It never sleeps. ⁷Every instant it is creating. ⁸It is hard to recognize that thought and belief combine into a power surge that can literally move mountains. ⁹It appears at first glance that to believe such power about yourself is arrogant, but that is not the real reason you do not believe it. ¹⁰You prefer to believe that your thoughts cannot exert real influence because you are actually afraid of them. ¹¹This may allay awareness of the guilt, but at the cost of perceiving the mind as impotent. ¹²If you believe that what you think is ineffectual you may cease to be afraid of it, but you are hardly likely to respect it.¹³There are no idle thoughts. ¹⁴All thinking produces form at some level. (ACIM, T-2.VI.9:12-14)
 
From this, Jesus is teaching that we need to carefully choose our thoughts, because they are omnipotent, we are omnipotent. The belief in ego is the belief we are powerless, limited, stuck in our heads, thinking thoughts that have no effect upon our world.  
 

Yet, Jesus teaches you are the single dreamer of the world of dreams, thinking your thoughts are merely idle things in your head is like comparing a match to the sun. That’s how insane the ego is.
