EP13 – ACIM Will Brighten Your Future – Part 2

A Course In Miracles teaches that all human suffering stems from the idea of separation from our creator, or in other words, from the fear that we are all alone in this world and in this life. Join us for part 2 of how A Course In Miracles can brighten your future.

Hey, everyone, welcome back to the podcast and welcome to part two of how A Course in Miracles can brighten your life. So we left off in the last episode with Matthew talking about this idea of suffering, right, and how we all suffer in our life, because of this disconnect from our Creator. Now, however you see God, whatever you call that, right, this idea of a higher power, a higher being a creator of this life that we live, all suffering comes from this separation from that source. We’re here on Earth, thinking that we are on our own, right, that we’re alone, and that we’re left to deal with our life. And this is what creates all of the different types of suffering in the world by thinking that we are having to take it all on ourselves, and whatever you might be feeling whether it’s fear, or pain, or guilt, or shame, or any of the other negative feelings that arise, really out of the base emotion of fear stems from this fear of being alone. And so this is really what Matthew is talking about. And we’re gonna pick right back up into the conversation. And yeah, there’s just so much to learn.

You might sell goods among myself to a process but you’re selling yourself to across all the time, through your fear, your hurt, your anger, your jealousy, your last year greed, your guilt, you’re constantly upset. Your most people are constantly upset or not at peace. And no matter what degree of upset, there’s no hell for a child of God, except if you’re separate from God. So the means for the atonement for when you feel separate from God, the principal is already in place, the moment separation apparently occurred never really occurred. But when you feel like you’re apparently separate from God, God gives the principle the means to come back anytime you want to the door’s always open. It’s like the prodigal son returns idea. So the principle is there. But the atonement itself the the mechanism of the atonement, if you will, it wasn’t put into motion, technically, according to course miracles and I think Christianity until the crucifixion actually occurred. I still have trouble buying that. So you know, take what you like, leave what you don’t believe I understand, of course in miracles that that’s what it’s saying, I just have trouble believing that 2000 years ago, is when it really started the principle is there since the you know, the Big Bang or whatever, you know, since the moment of any type of separation. And yet I like to think there were some very great beings before the historical Jesus who got the atonement principle, rolling, getting A Course in Miracles. That’s a very significant moment, just as it is in Christianity. I mean, right now it’s June 22 2020. That’s 2020 Yours after the birth of Jesus, you are measuring time based on that person, right? Like them, there must have been something significant about that, beyond just Hey, what a cool way to create a religion, the Course in Miracles honors, that’s a very significant moment. And it does say and again, I don’t know what I fully buy into about this yet. But usually, I’m wrong, of course in miracles says something. It acknowledges that Jesus is Christ and sees where Christ is in charge of the atonement. So what does that mean? In A Course in Miracles, Jesus is a brother, he’s not your superior. We’re all equals the sonship, which is the collective mind of God, which is all of the children of God, which is us. Jesus is one of those he’s, which is another question that goes, does he use the word soul, it intentionally mentions how it doesn’t use that word, because it can be misleading.

But if you would imagine that everybody is an individual spirit or soul is an individual, which is the issue. But if you imagine you’re about to be a spiritual being, Jesus is one of those. And of course, miracles teaches. He’s in charge of the atonement, because he’s the first one who accepted it completely for himself. That might be true, no, who am I to say, but it is what the course teaches. And because he accepted that it’s true, he became devoted to everyone else, to help them to get free, a teacher of God is worthy of devotion, because they’re devoted, alright, so I’m a teacher. I have students all the time that wanted to, you know, follow the stuff that I’m teaching. And I’m devoted to them, and therefore, they want to be devoted to me, but it’s not a worship thing. And of course, in miracles, it says, You should never be in awe at another child of God. Because we’re all equals, ah, is reserved for you and your presence and your Creator. When you appreciate God and who you are as a child of God, you’ll be in awe. But you never know of anyone, including Jesus, because we’re all equals, but there’s something that that being good, that’s started a process of the atonement, and it’s up to us to make the choice for that at one moment. So that was, so how do we get back to that oneness, which is oneness with peace, love, bliss, joy, wisdom, and abundance, there’s no lack in God. So you know, it’s and of course, miracles, teachers, that is the most practical thing you can do. It’s like, well, if I do the choice for the miracle, the choice for the atonement, the miracle is the means of the atonement, which I’ll explain. So the atonement is the experience of oneness with God, you can have that soon. The atonement is inevitable, and you can’t escape that you will eventually, excuse me, the fish will eventually realize it’s in the ocean. That’s why the universal curriculum is impossible to avoid because reality is reality. And Course in Miracles, what’s true is true. And I was talking to a scientist recently, and we agree the you know, even though having really cool discussions, the truth is true is truth is true. And a scientist will tell you that a deep mystic or spiritual seeker, okay, that truth is true. And question, Michaels clearly teaches that. So the atonement Is there a turn which away ready to truth and inevitably have to do it? It does teach and of course, in miracles, it’s been millions and millions, you know, billions of years to get to this point. And it could be millions upon millions of more before the atonement is complete. For the whole for all of us who teaches that marriages in the Bible, it says, In Genesis, the first book of the Bible, that a deep sleep guide, so hypnosis, a deep sleep fell upon Adam, but nowhere in the Bible is there talk of a collective reawakening? We’re all basically still asleep, the fall that occurred, you don’t have anyone interpret that the detour into fear the long guilt trip that we’re all on? They’re leaving, and we’re individual, finite human beings as an egoic structure that will come to them. And that’s inevitable. But here’s the beauty of the miracle. The Miracle collapses time. What does that mean? That’s a very clear question miracles term, the collapse of time is that that which would eventually happen, happen sooner. So time and space are illusions the miracle is not bound by time, time and space is the egos make believe, doesn’t exist. God didn’t create time and space or don’t exist. God didn’t create your body. God didn’t create this earth. And again, I’m not preaching on this teaching. But of course, miracles says, God didn’t make God didn’t create all this. God doesn’t make temporary finite realities. You think, do you appear to be a temporary finite reality? That’s all And the miracle moves you from false to true, from illusion to truth, from ego to spirit, from fear, to love, from guilt, to peace. And then so the mean for that is the miracle. Of course, miracles teaches miracles are meant to be habits. And if they’re not occurring regularly, something has gone wrong. When you do not that habit I’ve been through, of course, miracles intensely. So I can tell you from personal experience with a habit is like, you get into the habit of constantly forgiving, always forgive, forgive, forgive, forgive, there’s no way you would do anything else, once you understand what forgiveness is, and when it gives you.

Eventually, forgiveness is complete, there’ll be nothing to forgive anymore, that’ll be your automatic inner mechanism. And the only thing left is just a blast. All you exist to do is to bless others to be of service to others to extend my love. So here’s the teaching and extending love. In a question that goes, you can only do one of two things. You can call out for love. Or you can extend love. The ego calls out for love. Spirit extends love. When the ego is calling out for love. It does it by attacking others, right? When you’re screaming at your husband or wife, whatever, because you want them to be a certain way. You’re actually calling out for love. If you just bring me flowers, you said you bring me flowers, you said you had texted 9:14pm and you didn’t text it that time, all of that insanity is a call for love. And when you’re screaming your children to just shut up like it’d be a peace, to call for love, peace and love are the same thing. Really, it’s only one reality. So the ego calls for love, every attack is a call for love. Anytime you hurt someone, it’s a call for love, or who you really are, spirit extends love. It’s really all you can do. So once the atonement in you is complete, all you’re doing is extending love. Your new habit is dropping scope let’s so now we’ll talk about next week, special relationship as opposed to holy relationship. The eagle and especially chips, possesses other people says their mind tries to control them, controls them through fear and guilt, attacks them through anger is jealous of them in different ways, secretly really hates them, and is terrified of its special relationships. Because it knows, at any moment those people could turn on you or could leave you. I so in Buddhism, the cause of suffering is the desires of the false self. And the false self will cling to something that could go away, or push away things. It’s a attachment and aversion. And it’s a you is your cause of suffering. That’s really what A Course in Miracles teaches. In its essence, it’s the same as Buddhism, which is the ego, the false sense of self, with all its insane desires, and its cleaning and aversion is causing itself tremendous suffering. Of course, miracles gives us a way out of this. But because the course is so advanced in its philosophy, psychology, and metaphysics, to me just been incredibly good guide to say in my own hypnotherapy practice in my own life, how do I perform miracles? How do I shift from fear to love instantly? How do I get a person? So um, here’s a line. The effects of the miracle may not always be observable. So let’s say no. So I’ll build upon that idea. When I was a religion, philosophy major, and I was really working, I was studying the great saints and sages of all the world’s religions, including price. And in the New Testament, which we don’t have a whole lot about the life of Christ at all. He was performing miracles. And there were certain things he was doing insane during those. And you know, as a scholar, I was saying, Well, what was he doing? And I wanted, if he was doing it, I want to do it right. How did Christ perform those miracles? And he said, it’s in the New Testament, you would do greater things in me. So either he’s that line is true or not true. In A Course in Miracles, it says thoughts are true or not true. And it helps you to understand are they true or not true? Through the voice of the Holy Spirit, your inner teacher, which we’ll talk about tonight, more your inner guy. So if Christ said you will do greater things than me, he’ll do greater miracles. And I have I have you step up to that challenge or you don’t. I’m going to I’m going to step up to that challenge. So what was he doing? I believe, you know, but the majority for sure, but I think all the miracles when you look and say what was happening, he told everybody, Your sins are forgiven you. Alright, you’re forgiven. You’re forgiven. You’re he’s constantly telling you, you’re forgiven. Takes mud and put him in your high or spits on you or you know, spit in the mud, whatever he was doing. The forgiveness was involved. Yeah, what I looked at is, is he just treating symptoms, if you make a headache go away through touching someone’s head. Is that really a miracle? And I, you know, you hear about the stories of saints who make people’s symptoms go away.

But my path went a lot deeper than that in traditional Chinese medicine, understanding the energetics of why sickness arises, the mental emotional components of why sickness arises, and really how psychosomatic illness manifests. And eventually, instead of realizing you have to remove the root cause of problems, you can just remove symptoms. So even if we could empower another human being to put their hands on you and heal you, you know, I went through all that all sorts of those trainings, Reiki and in traditional Chinese medicine, you know, call it Reiki. But the power that’s apparently happening to those needles is really new. It’s part of why we do it anymore. Why I decided not to make them my profession. One of the reasons is, the needle is an antenna for your intention, you turn it right at tonifies, you turn it left, it decreases the energy. But other books will say you turn it left, clockwise, and decreases, turn it left, it increases and asked my teachers, the books contradict themselves, what is the truth? And they said, Oh, it doesn’t matter. It’s your intention. And like, what are these needles? Then? Why am I talking people with needles? It’s they said, they act as antenna. And the truth is that in Chinese medicine, you have thicker needles, Japanese thinner needles, but then you start learning something called Toyo Hari, where you don’t even put the needle in the skin. Oh, my God, come on what’s going on here? You know, really best practitioners don’t even put a needle on your body. You just hold it right over the acupoint. And then they’re saying, oh, but the really advanced practitioners, they don’t even need that needle, they just use their fingers. I said, this is hands on healing. So what is it really all roads lead to mine. There’s a book in Chinese medicine called rooted in spirit. And it says, All healing must be rooted in spirit. And I said, Well, how are herbs and massage and hands on healing and acupuncture? How is that root in spirit? And it can be I’m putting it down and I respect the medicine tremendously. And every profession has its place. Yeah, I just kept asking, what is the deepest level of healing, it’s not to get the body. Because bodies are byproducts. They are the final result of a cause and effect loop. And it’s not the healthy energy body, because that’s a byproduct. That energy body is actually and this is simply stated, so don’t hate on me in the comments on a YouTube video. The the energy body is your emotional body again, simply stated, your astral body is your emotional body. So when you have emotional imbalances, you have energetic imbalances. Why do you have emotional imbalances? Because your thinking is wack. Because you tell yourself you’re bad, stupid, useless, worthless, I’m lovable alone. You know, all those horrible deletes all roads lead back to the mind. spiritual healing is a misleading idea. It’s nice to think you’re a spiritual healer. But spirit doesn’t need to be healed. And of course, in miracles spirit is God’s Spirit is perfect spirit is you. Spirit doesn’t need healing. In A Course in Miracles, it teaches only the mind can be sick. Only the mind is in need of healing. This does not appear to be the case for the manifestations of this world, this dense physical world. Same Rael indeed. So I’ll say that again, only the mind is in need of healing, because all in the mind can be sick. Only the mind needs to be healed. Excuse me, this net does not appear to be the case. For the manifestations of this world seem real indeed. So even starting the lives of the great saints in Christ and other sources that supposedly you know, acknowledge who Christ was and what he was doing. I saw a lot of symptom relief in Chinese medicine and Reiki and homeopathic medicine. I saw a lot of symptom relief by flower remedies and then I studied everything. And I saw a lot of symptom relief. What I found with hypnotherapy was an option not all hypnotherapy teachings but with hypnotherapy because it points directly and not necessarily personally not because I had the opportunity in college I clearly could have gotten the path of psychotherapy or you know medicine I got a better doctor yet. I again I saw their symptom really the kind of fixing the body medicating, diagnosing which is judgment in the Course of Miracles, putting the therapist in the place of judge and him even executioner in some way. But in psychotherapy, I didn’t see

highly enlightened beings. I was studying the great saints and sages, I said, these are my role models, the great saints of the world religions, they’re the ones who are truly happy and free and blissed out. They’re the ones who have tapped into divine power to manifest anything is like, I want them in my experience of psychotherapy professors. United from psychology course, of course, in college, again, their professors were in to me the role models and what they were doing in therapy sessions. It wasn’t the depth that I want the set that didn’t have the potential. And it’s not again, I’m not talking negative about one religion, one religion or one, one career, so psychotherapy, social work, mental health counseling, all of these have their place. And because they look at the mind, they actually have a very profound place is any profession that goes directly to the mind can perform miracles very quickly, because the miracles are mental. So miracles don’t heal the body. Miracles don’t heal the energy body, miracles don’t heal the emotional body. Miracles don’t heal spirit, because spirit doesn’t need to be healed. Miracles heal the mind. Only the mind needs to be healed. If you read my book, the sutras on healing and awakening, you get a much more I’m gonna say user friendly understanding of that in relation to hypnotherapy, more perhaps, than A Course in Miracles, I’m not saying My book is better than A Course in Miracles. It’s just my book, the sutras on healing and enlightenment, will help make these understandings more practical for you to actually perform miracles with your client. So setting. Course in Miracles lying, the effects of the miracle, are not always observable. A miracle is a mental shift, when you don’t always see physical shifts that occur from it. For instance, if somebody lost their leg in amputated because of a car accident, I don’t know how to make that grow back, but I can perform miracles on that person. And maybe eventually, we’ll be gifted enough evolved enough as healers to grow like back. But right now I have to be professional, modest, my clients and say, I cannot say that like that. But you are entitled to miracles today, of course, miracles idea, you are entitled to miracles, miracles are mental. If you’re afraid you can shift back to love if you’re caught up in the past and having pain because of your negative mental imagery. When you have an accident and you lose a leg, phantom limb pain can very often be much because you’ve got a negative a lot of negative pictures in your head. And from that accident and the amputation pictures, when you clear the mental imagery, the pain goes away. And I’ve done that I know how quickly I can resolve pain in somebody’s body through the miracle. And again, it can happen very fast. Eventually, like I was saying miracles collapse hug. Eventually they’re going to be healed in some lifetime, eventually, Course in Miracles doesn’t talk much at all about reincarnation and multiple lifetimes. Because it’s, well, let’s not go into that right now. But

the idea is you’re eternal. So eventually, you’re going to be pain free. But how long, you’re gonna wait. We use hypnotic language patterns. We say, well, it could take five lifetimes to get there. But I’ve been quoting lately, a Jewish rabbi who once said to us, in this group, I always say and he said, Yes, we believe in reincarnation. But only a fool waits until their next lifetime to do what they can do now. So the Course in Miracles says, eventually you’re going to experience the intelligent, how miracles are the means of the atonement, miracles or mental shifts. Now, let’s build upon that and open up to q&a. Sam, looking at the times, I’m gonna push about the hour and a half mark, and then we’ll open up the question answer and see where we go. So it’s important to understand all of this is the miracle and the role of the Holy Spirit. So let me define the explain that theology Can God is the father is beyond time and space and does not know of sickness, pain, suffering or death. And theologically, that’s really sound because other religions and spiritual paths will teach you. If God knows pain, God can’t be God. Right? If God is Infinite Light, there can’t be darkness. Right? There can’t be separation or suffering God and I believe that experience that God is one reality, not two. So God is like God is love. God is peace. God is joy. God is wisdom. God has everything you’d ever want to know. And is the source, the father, mother, that is intent, then that source ministry then is the if it’s happened in the past, but God creates this sonship they sonship is the Christ consciousness. It’s all of the creations of God. And those are perfect eternal realities. Those realities are ideas in the divine mind of God. And you are that we are the children of God, not as bodies, not as humans. That’s way too limited. You have to, in a course in miracles, when you think your body and you try to understand these deep teachings through the filter that your body, then you think, Oh, well, God created me, and I must be eternal, and I must be perfect. 10 but I’m not, that’s weird. And then God created this world. Well, I got Woody Allen said, you know, you must be such an underachiever. You see what’s out there. I think God created all this horribleness of course, in miracles explains, God didn’t create all that horribleness that you appear to see, in the, you know, in this world, God did not create such a meaningless hell of an existence, you know, thank God. So God is source father mother, is perfect and eternal and only creates perfect and eternal realities, you are one of those. So when you think your body, it’s called level confusion, you identify with the body, instead of identifying the spirit and your entire theology and your whole worldview, which you have to have the course teaches, everybody has to have some kind of worldview to be able to function. But when your worldview is based on the idea that your body, your underlying first premise is wrong, and in philosophy, everything that follows will be wrong. If the first premise is right, you can trust that most likely it’s going to follow is correct. The first premise is that your spirit that you’re a child of God, Course in Miracles uses the word sonship. Again, it’s masculine. So, you know, I apologize. But um, sonship is the sons and daughters of God. And that doesn’t need anything at all. It’s perfectly calm, complete, in and of itself. However, there is a reality in that whole trinity of things called the Holy Spirit. before there was any sense of separation or the need for atonement or the need for miracles, before there was a detour into fear before all this guilt before pain and suffering in our illusory hell. There’s the Holy Spirit, which is the divine mind of God. And it’s a mind based on communion and Revelation, where God reveals who she is to you. And you say, Thank you pain, you’re not your Creator, and you’re an odd who you are as a creation of God, and as this eternal dance of divinity. But at some point, some of us said, Well, I want to eat pizza, I want to go down there and have sex. I want to have a family. Now you make these choices, which you’re allowed to do, and you kind of come down on you incarnate, and the moment you do. I like the idea that when you dig your hole really deep, you’re allowed to, you know, free Well, you know, Course in Miracles cgf pretty well for sure. But when you dig your hole really deep into darkness, for this in Christianity, Christ is putting a ladder every step of the way, behind you in the moment you choose to turn back, the ladder is there, the ladder is the ladder led via the ladder is the means of the atonement on the means of the atonement is a miracle. The Miracle again, is rooted in forgiveness. And it’s always interpersonal. Most likely next week, when we go into special relationships in holy relationships, it’ll be more relevant to explain the interpersonal nature of miracles, and how well miracles are rooted in relationship. If you get that and you do in depth training about interpersonal hypnotherapy, we have a 22 hour CEO course for our graduates of our school are very highly qualified people who are ready for that when you go through those 22 hours of interpersonal hypnotherapy, you are learning to perform miracles on A Course in Miracles level. And so again, how is this relevant to a private hypnotherapy practice?

hoping me they’re like they’re ready, right? That if you know how to give someone this quickly in this powerfully, just think about what that can do for your career, right? And how rewarding that would be for you to be performing same, like levels of miracles, your clients will be thrilled you’ll be thrilled and then they refer people to you left and right. So you know it’s a beautiful thing. Alright, so um, we have the Trinity. There’s a trinity model and all religion actually if you study every spiritual path, Buddhism has it. Kabbalah has it Hinduism clearly has it. I don’t know of a religion that doesn’t acknowledge it. Try human nature of God. And that’s basically Father Son, Holy Spirit in simple masculine terms, the Holy Spirit, its role during the appends time of the Holy Spirit’s role during the time of in the time of at one Mint is a it’s beyond time, right? So there is no time. But before there was the fall of the separation, the Holy Spirit is just the divine mind of God and communion with the children of God. But after the fall, again, time and space words don’t mean much here. But after the fall, while we’re still pretending to be human, if you want to look at it that way, the role of the Holy Spirit is to be able to see your illusions, but not to buy into them. This is a huge point, if you want to be very practical as a great hypnotherapist. I understand this point, the role of the Holy Spirit. Here superconscious mind your higher self, your divine, higher, wiser mind, knows the truth of who you really are. But unlike God, the Father can see your illusions. God Father, Mother swords, remember, can’t know about illusion, or it couldn’t be absolute eternal truth. But you have these apparent illusions only in your mind. They don’t exist anywhere else. It’s not like there’s light by has it Hinduism clearly has it. I don’t know of religion that doesn’t acknowledge it, try you and nature of God. And that’s basically Father, Son, Holy Spirit, in simple masculine terms, the Holy Spirit, its role during the

apparent time of the Holy Spirit’s role during the time of in the time of at one Mint is a it’s beyond time, right. So there is no time. But before there was the fall of the separation, the Holy Spirit is the divine mind of God in communion with the children of God. But after the fall, you know, again, time and space words don’t mean much here. But after the fall, while we’re still pretending to be human, if you want to look at it that way, the role of the Holy Spirit is to be able to see our illusions, but not the buy into them. This is a huge point. If you want to be very practical as a great hypnotherapist. I understand this point, the role of the Holy Spirit. Here superconscious mind your higher self, your divine, higher, wiser mind, knows the truth of who you really are. But unlike God, the Father can see your illusions. God Father, Mother swords, remember, can’t know about illusion, or it couldn’t be absolute eternal truth. But you have these apparent allusions only in your mind. They don’t exist anywhere else. It’s not like there’s light and darkness, there’s only light. But in your mind where you dreamed up hell, there appears to be a dream of separation and other and pain and guilt and suffering, and racism. I mean, all these things that we do, don’t actually exist in the mind of God. And the mind of God is all there is. The Trinity of God is the one and only reality, one without a second, there’s nothing else. So that’s why in Christian miracles, you might not actually called God universe, because what you see is Big Bang, and galaxy is and star Nebula star nurseries and all that. That’s actually just in the realm of time and space, not necessarily the creation of God. But have you understand that because there’s so much beauty in all of it. So you’re telling me when I see a gorgeous mountain VISTA with snow capped peaks, the presence of God isn’t there. God is everywhere. And so the light is feeling your Mirage, right? So what you see is the physical world you could consider to be a mirage like the matrix. The Matrix isn’t real. There’s no such thing really there. It’s a computer constructed dream world. That’s very much with the illusion of the fall is it’s a mentally constructed dream world but because you are spirit and because God is everywhere, the goodness is gonna come through in your dreams, but realize that beautiful mountain VISTA that you perceive, and mountain VISTAs that I live in the mountains believe me I know I know. And he said gorgeous now caffee the presence of God is then in that Mirage, but the mountain VISTA is a perception and perception isn’t true. But even your nightmares can have angels appear. And so we have in question medicals was called the egos nightmare. That’s wrong perception. And then we have the egos happy dream. That’s right perception. The dreams are still dreams, we want to wake up the miracle is the means of waking up. The way to wake up. The miracle is the means of that is forgiveness. So you need to understand really grasp course miracles, the Holy Spirit after the fall, you know, what is the Holy Spirit’s role now? And what is the miracle because that’s what you apply in a hypnotherapy practice if you’re of course a medical student, or teacher of a course. So when I’m performing a miracle a few things happen. Now with the client again, this is hypnotherapy training this very much course miracles can I

you have to bring to consciousness, the error in the clients mind. If you don’t have the error in consciousness, you can correct the errors again or you go with thoughts, false thoughts, false beliefs, wrong perceptions that he goes nightmare, darkness can hide. And of course in miracles, nothing can really remain hidden in your subconscious. So what I do is, if nothing happens, I bring that errors in the subconscious to conscious awareness. And an example of that would be something like I’m alone and unlovable, causing sadness and fear, causing, let’s say, sensations or even a illness in the body. Don’t ever underestimate A Course in Miracles says there are no idle thoughts. There are no neutral thoughts. Every thought has creative power, don’t ever think that the sword and everything that that which manifest universes is lacking power, mind manifest world, you know, nine manifest in your entire dream world of this universe, don’t ever think your mind isn’t powerful. And question miracle says very few people are ever aware of just how powerful the mind really is. And even when you’re kind of aware, you tend to forget and then you’re still not fully aware, I’m paraphrasing, but that’s the idea is like, we only get glimpses of how powerful we really are. And anything that teaches this, you know, I’m interested in if I can cut through the underlying Christian and masculine theology, and I can find teachings that acknowledge that no, I’m 100% on board. So when I’m when a miracle is being performed, the error that needs to be corrected is brought to consciousness. And then simply stated that you know, really simply stated forgiveness needs to occur. Once forgiveness occurs, the anger and the false thoughts are released, and the return to love occurs. This is how we’re gonna get hypnotherapy works, we move them through their pain, and back into comfort and peace and love. When Christ in the New Testament was about to leave this world, his disciples said, Master, what are we going to do without you? He said, I will send upon you the great comforter, and this to you will be for healing, the great comforters the Holy Spirit. So what is that divine mind? Where’s that it’s in your mind. It’s as close as it could possibly be your intimate beyond belief, with God and with the mind of God called the Holy Spirit. Why is it so important as the hypnotherapist because you don’t know what to do most of the time, you’re empowered with techniques and really good training by you always want to be in touch with your inner teacher, your inner guide, that’s the that’s the goal of A Course in Miracles, A Course in Miracles does not bring you to the complete atonement. And the complete, you know, totally done, done, done in the highest sense of whatever that can mean to A Course in Miracles simply takes you through all Spanish 65 lessons, you may repeat them more than once I certainly have. But at some point, you will feel like Alright, I got it, I really got the lessons, I don’t think I need to go through them anymore. Unless my inner teacher, you know, encouraged me to.

But all it does is says now you’re left in the hands of the Holy Spirit, and that will do the rest. So to be in touch with that inner voice is amazing at any moment. Whenever I’m teaching or doing anything, writing a book, writing my blog articles, you know, anything I do, which is really all just dedicated of service to God, if I’m not quite sure what to do what to say, I’ll just close my eyes and say, okay, Holy Spirit, what I do, what do I say? And then voice always is there. And it always gives the answer that is most beneficial, even if I don’t understand it at the time. At first, I was a little scared to say what it was asking me to say. And then I’m like, wow, like I would watch how that would heal people so fast. So you’re important in the role of the miracle, but you’re not required to understand the Absolute Truth, which is the real essence of the miracle. The Holy Spirit holds that knowledge, and you weren’t healed in the process of true healing. When you perform a miracle, you aren’t healed, and they find this healing. So what does that mean? The client says they’re lovable. You ask the Holy Spirit inside if you need to, is that true? Or they’re lovable? The Holy Spirit says, No, that’s my beloved child in whom I’m well pleased, and she is totally lovable. And you accept that it’s true, that is wise enough to do so. And then you help the client to correct that error in their mind. And then that’s the real miracle they have forgiven the wrong idea that they’re unlovable is one way to understand forgiveness is not the only way to understand because again, it’s very interpersonal, but they forgive their false thoughts. Like go forgiveness can be defined as letting go. I let go and false thought that I’m unlovable. For let’s say, here, my client, let’s go the false stuff and then accept the truth that they’re lovable. Because they’re a child of God, so they’re lovable. And then you accept that as well. Now you’re both healed, the goal would be what’s called the heal healer. And of course, in miracles, the healed healer is an abstract concept that really doesn’t exist in the physical plane. If you’re still here, you still have ego, you still have errors in your mind. And you never claim to be a healed healer. There’s 80, of the wounded healer, that I think a lot of people, you know, obviously, he’ll get into a hypnotherapy training on the category of wounded healer, when you really do all your work and heal yourself. You know, so hear yourself could me in a year or two of intensive therapy, honestly, you know, a lot of meditation, self actualization, that kind of path would recommend that I do and send a nice, online, monastery calm. And then if you went through all those lessons, all 365. So if you clean house, the hypnotherapy, no more blocks, you can’t find anything in your system anymore. You have a really solid meditation practice. And if you went through our course in miracles lessons, and you’re in touch with the voice of the Holy Spirit inside, you’re in an amazing place of an incredible career, the hill a whole lot of people. And you may not call yourself a healed healer. But you won’t have any more personal blocks anymore, you won’t have any more false beliefs, you won’t have any more negative emotions blocked in your system, you remain remarkably healthy, you’re divinely inspired. Again, prosperity follows when you’re doing your Dharma or your purpose. Most people live in this hell of believing they don’t have a purpose or a mission, that their life is meaningless. And it’s not true, of course, in miracles teaches very clearly God did not create a meaningless universe, you do have a part to play in the plan for the atonement. And the part you play is mighty. And it’s important, man, it’s it’s necessary. They told me it will not happen without you. And this is the COVID-19 model, we all go together, or in COVID, they often say and we’re all in this together. In A Course in Miracles, we all go together, or we don’t go at all. In Course in Miracles, it’s aligned to the Bodhisattva vow that says until all beings are free, I won’t stop. Because once you accept in this model who you are, which is item and travel, I am not my own fader, that which created me crazy. And that was created me gave me a purpose and a mission. And my greatest joy and my greatest prosperity. And my greatest peace of mind. not always easy, but is to, to do my mission. And then usually you know what the Course in Miracles Your mission is to teach. But understand course miracles teaches you’re always teaching. It’s impossible not to teach, you’re always communicating your body’s a communication device. You are communication itself. You know, modern quantum physics is largely leaning towards the energy of all that is is information. It’s everything is communication, you are communicating, you’re extending love, or calling out for love. But as a teacher of God, you’re calling up as a teacher of God, you’re extending love. You’re extending life, you’re teaching, therefore you’re teaching that doesn’t mean you teach the way I teach. But it talks a question that goes talks about advanced teachers of God advanced, you might say, therapists, you know, who are performing miracles in this world. And it puts that into its proper place and helps you understand the mighty role you play in the plan for the atonement. And when you align with that, it does say, you know, you’re when you teach, I teach, as you can tell, some of you don’t even know how much I teach, because you’re not in every single class. But some of you are and you watch me make 20 I’m sorry for you. 20 hours a week of me. That’s hard. It’s hard for me to do that. But the Course in Miracles teaches Yes, it’s hard for you to do that. But there’s nothing more rewarding for you then to do that, because that’s your purpose. And you’re done. Again, it doesn’t mean you’ll be hypnotherapist or healer, the way that I am. It doesn’t mean y’all have the same career path or y’all teach the way I do. But you have your own way of expressing your Dharma inside, of course in miracles, word, Dharma, but it’s your purpose and your mission. The voice of the Holy Spirit will guide you at every moment. And the whole role of any good teacher of God, any good healer and of course, miracles itself is to get you in touch with your inner teacher. And that’s all it’s not. So if a client doesn’t have the answer to let’s say, they the client says I’m unlovable, and I know they’re not lovable. But I’ll say to them, is that true? And they go, Oh my god, I don’t know. Let’s say I don’t know. Either. I’m like, well, maybe that person is on mobile. So which is laughable, but I’m not sure it’s not you’ll get if you’re not feeling you might actually think you’re unlovable and lovable or you’re unworthy and then worthy, or you’re bad and there That, at that moment, you need another voice because your ego can unravel itself. You believe what you believe. I believe I’m bad. And I believe my client is bad. I need another voice. But I can turn to a instructor or supervisor. I’m in my own office, I’m by myself with my claim. So you can say claim, close your eyes. And let’s ask our inner guidance, a question where Steven answer are we better than my dad? And you will hear a voice internally answer back, am I not answer English? But I will always answer. If you’re not ready to hear the answer yet, the answer will be that when you’re ready, you’re always answered. And on the notion of being a healer, a teacher, and being tiring, I would say five planes a day, five days a week, step 25. I was actually doing 30 clients a week. At one point in my career, I was on a waiting list for three or four months. And it was exhausting. And every day like God, I’m so tired, but spirit, like know that you’re healing the world get out there. Like, Alright, and now when I was so tired, I’d be like, I’ll be in the bathroom. Like, I got three more clients for the day. Oh, am I gonna do this? And I would just say this, of course, miracles line, God or Holy Spirit, give me the strength to get through this day. And I would always add, you know, with health and vitality, let my voice remain intact. And then that, of course, miracles teaches that request is never denied. If you ask God for the strength to get through something it is always given you. And if you need an answer, it is always giving you if you need a word, it’s always giving you say when you send a claim, close your eyes and ask better guidance, are you bad, you’re doing the most important thing. And of course, in miracles, which is teaching them to listen to their own inner teacher, because again, any good teacher doesn’t make you dependent upon them. I’m going to say this, with all due respect and email I got today. I’m going to say it because I think it’s important at this stage of my career, I’m really against the guru model for some miracles does not use that word. We’re all equals, we’re happy. We all equals differences are only temporary, you might doubt the Met, be more involved in it, and so on maybe Whatever. I’m not here to judge or talk about myself in that way, but only to say, we’re all equals and differences are only temporary. So the guru model is this idea that somebody is probably a little superior to you, and you become a devotee of that person. And then that person’s kind of responsible for your salvation. That model does not work well. For Westerners. If you study the history of the guru disciple relationship in the West, it can be a big mess. So I didn’t want to I know, there’s a beard teacher has influenced me a lot. And Andrew Harvey is a beautiful being many talks about the direct path for sure, because he learned as well, that the groom is is a beautiful spiritual feature. But he’s like, I’m not a guru. He said, If anything, I just want to be known as a friend to the heart of the human race. That’s where the Sophie’s are the Friends of the heart of the human race. That’s beautiful. So of course, miracles acknowledges that there are teachers of God that their events, teachers of God, again, the requirement for a teacher of God is just that you want to be well advanced might mean you’ve gone through the lessons and really have had the inner transformation that it brings about. But again, once you are in a you know, as you’re becoming that, so I can recommend start the lessons January 1, I want to give a couple of tips in that. And then we’ll go to q&a.

I know I ran over, but I believe it’s valuable. So we’re doing that. Beyond the hour and a half that I said, tips for doing those miracles lessons. Don’t do them with any arrogance that you think you know better than Oh, you’re so spiritual that you you know, you know better. This is not a book from my human being wiser than most likely anybody reads it is. So I went into it eventually, very humbly. And I just said, Alright, let me let it do what it’s meant to do. Do it exactly the way it teaches only one lesson per day, I would say no more, no less. From my experience of working with it. Read the entire lesson. First thing in the morning, the first thing you do is read the lesson. It’s very gentle. It’s simple. It’s not asking for 10 hours on a meditation cushion super easy, and very, very wise. But don’t just read the bold heading, read the entire paragraph and do exactly what it tells you to do. Again, no more, no less, and it’ll gradually ask to do a little bit more as it goes. If you do that 2021 will be one of the most amazing years of your life. Now, that’s the most glorious because your life will keep getting better after you do the lessons. But it’ll be a meaningful year. It’ll be a year where you don’t feel alone. You feel like there is guidance and your spiritual path and the kind of guidance Like I said before, it’s a living reality that you’ll be like, wow, it’s feeling bad. I open up the lesson. It’s exactly what needed now. So which came first the lesson causing you to see your stuff and feel bad. And then giving you the means to heal it there no accidents, you’ll start seeing every moment. Last night, most teaching online monastery calm and a hug meditation system. And we’re moving into lesson right now lesson five. And I get to open up my hard drive where that stuff stored in lesson five and the word document is in there. Hmm. Okay, I look up mine in my backup cloud files and it’s not there, no problem is gonna rewrite it, you know, for this week, but and then I went to upload the audio files for that to the website. And they didn’t upload properly. Sorry, you know, I took the one that did upload properly down and I stopped and I thought about it. I said, Alright, and spirits like no, that’s the way you taught the first lessons. Tonight you’re teaching without the other workbook. Oh, my guy cool, great. I prefer that like the men are using a manual.

So anyway, you start to see spirit is communicating you within every single moment and there are no accidents. Every person who appears in your life was meant to be there as a teacher, your students will come to you. You went you Skype the call to be a teacher, the those who are willing and want to hear what you have to say will be there. And same with you as a hypnotherapist, when you said I picked up the calling, I’m willing to be a healer, not healer, the way state law might define healer, we’re talking, you know, laws beyond state law. And of course, in miracles, it says I am bound by no laws, but the laws of God, I am only bound by God’s law of love, which will by default cause you to live according to human laws really well. So when I use the word healer, I’m referring to like God’s law of love, and that you’re asked to be a teacher and a healer. And when you do that, your clients will come to you, you have to advertise, later clients will come to you. And if you teach in, you know, in a direct teaching style your students will come to you. The beauty of that is the money always follows. And of course in miracles teaches that in the psychotherapy manual, it teaches that even an advanced teacher of God has some earthly needs while he’s here, while he’s here, he will be given what he needs, but not for his own ego gratification. But to better help him to fulfill the mission. I mean, hear what I’m saying, I’m not making this stuff up. I’m just paraphrasing and quoting from various sacred texts, to have something that reliable as a guiding source of your life is amazing. So if you go through all lessons, 365, you will learn to tap into the voice of the Holy Spirit. You started the manual for teachers and gives you answers to pretty much any question you could ever have. It defines the terms in a question miracle. So to explain what is the Holy Spirit? What is Christ? What is the father? What is the miracle? What is the atonement, and once you understand what those words mean, and you go through all those lessons, you’re living in a completely different world with a totally different sense of purpose, and a level of freedom that I think most people honestly just can’t grasp. What’s important to understand. And I’ll definitely say this year, before we get to q&a, which is about now don’t have any expectation, what’s the lesson teach you what the outcome will be? Don’t think you know what enlightenment is. Don’t think you know what it means to be perfect, whole and complete. Don’t think you know at the end of any spiritual path is no matter how much you’ve studied it. You just surrender to the lessons and trust. So what I did in the most This was in 2017, I believe. I did six hours a day with a lesson I would read it in the morning, I would do exactly what he told me to do. But pretty much at night starting about six o’clock to midnight, I would sit and meditate on that lesson. I didn’t want to know, I did the lessons. I had been doing them for years before that, but I never felt like I put my whole heart into it the way that I really could. It was 2017 that I really I do believe like I did it to my to the fullest. It doesn’t say to do six hours a day, but I don’t do things happens. So that was really profound. I believe I can do a good enough overview to go to q&a. And again, we’re hypnotherapy school. I don’t you there’s tastes, of course in miracles in school. But I don’t use the word God very much I use the word Holy Spirit. I never really talked about Jesus. And not Christian. I’m not traditionally Christian. So I just want everybody to know if you’re attending this class thinking of going to our school, you’re not going to be bombarded by Christian theology, and especially not the traditional Hellfire damnation type of stuff. And that’s the beauty of A Course in Miracles is it helps you to understand Christianity. without all the Hellfire damnation it defines what sin is and the most beautiful way soon is just error. Sin is just an error in your mind that is meant to be lovingly corrected. Sin is an error meant to be lovingly corrected. Not this horrible thing then You’re immediately thrown into health work. So to have those reframes is beautiful. But again, hypnotherapy schools like ours, you know, these, like me, that’s our school that has deep spiritual undertones doesn’t really, you know, it doesn’t teach Course in Miracles directly, but it’s definitely inspired by these ideas of fear, love, interpersonal miracles, that stuff is valuable. So I pulled from that. But I would never say that word religion, many sense of the term, and I’m not a guru. All right, um,

somebody said, Go ahead if you have questions or sharing, let’s do that now. So really opening the chat pod, everybody feel free to type questions answers are sharing. All right, some we have one question about physical death. What is the truth reality? According to Matthew Rammstein, and the Course in Miracles? How is forgiveness involved in accepting physical death beautiful? A Course in Miracles just sees that death is nothing. Nothing is accomplished through death. And it’s really just a completely meaningless concept. What matters is salvation. And salvation belongs to the time before death. I’m going to give you a who is it a beer? Great, well, it could be. I’m paraphrasing. He said, Do not think that salvation belongs the time after death. If you don’t untie your knots, now, you’ll simply end up in an apartment in the city of death. So undo your changes. Now, don’t wait until after. And I really believe that speaks to what A Course in Miracles is saying. There is as far as I can tell you and I believe I’m very well versed in miracles. Like believe if there’s like really powerful paragraphs or teachings on bodily death, they’d be popping my mind now. Generally, I believe the basket entry for them is it’s just not important at all. It does talk about in question miracles, you who worship death. That’s that’s definitely you know, so yeah, I speak from personal experience dealing with my I believe it’s in Carson, America might be the Bible. It says death is the last thing to go. When you’re on the spiritual path, you have to work through every every single hair in your mind. I’m bad, I’m stupid, I’m unlovable, those are errors. And you will have to work through those as part of the universal curriculum. You can’t avoid that because you’re wrong. And eventually you have to be corrected. The idea of death being such a huge presence in our life and something we actually value and worship. In hypnotherapy, we call it the unconscious gap purge. So as you’re purifying your ego, the ego is a mind that believes in death, worships death values death. The ego is a false self, and it’s who you think you are. And it thinks you’re the body. So what happens is the ego says, Okay, I’m the body. And then it realizes, well, I’m very separate and alone, and I don’t know what to do. So what am I going to do? Because I have assessed myself as being something horrible. But what do I do with this assessment? So there’s a question there, the ego has, like, what do I do about my insanity? I’m this body, but I hate who I am. Right? You look at the bodies, and this is me. I’m pus, and feces and semen and urine and aside, but this thing is disgusting. If you look at the insides of it, right? I couldn’t have done this in Chinese medical school, I couldn’t go to cadaver lab. You have to go and dissect the corpse. I couldn’t do it. It’s, it’s pretty gnarly, right? So your ego knows what’s going on. If you don’t like the minute, if you meditate a lot, and you feel your hand sides, you’re like, oh, there’s a heart beating in here. Like, it’s really weird. This thing, okay, you know, if you really look, and it’s kind of scary. The ego knows this. And it has a question, Well, what do I do with you know who I this sense of self? Because he can’t answer the question on its own. This is Course in Miracles. It pushes the question out of your mind, it pushes it out of conscious awareness. Because a kid doesn’t have an answer to what to do about your dilemma, that you’re this ridiculous little body, disgusting body thing. So

but in its assessment, they are the body it has also realized, well, the end of my suffering will occur when the body dies, because I’m the body hopefully I’ll exist afterwards. I don’t know. But when the body again so the ego actually secretly worships them. It doesn’t worship God. He believes your body and believes the end of all your suffering is death and it’s actually trying to kill you. It is in remember, it’s insane. It’s not some other enemy to jump into. It’s not some entity attachment. It’s a misuse of your mind. Now because it believes in death values, death, worships death is a there’s like it’s God. Right? Thou shalt have no false gods before me. You’ve made the ego and its belief in death, you’re a gun. So it’s one of the last things to know, I guess it’s the last thing to go. So a lot of my meditations since 2017, I’ve definitely looked at the fear of death, and the idea of death. And what you need to do is the same thing you do with any error. Death is an error, there is no death. But if that’s what the question negociations there’s only life there is no death. And I believe what I’m saying is the most important point, of course, in miracles and identify with the body, pushing the question out of your mind of what do I do about this dilemma, and then secretly worshiping death. So once you’re aware that that’s happening in your sight. But again, it’s like the last thing you’re going to really work on. Because it’s kind of terrifying. You will bring that to the Holy Spirit as well. You say, God, I made up the idea of death myself. I grabbed my course miracles book, even though I know this paragraph, relatively bad parts. I pulled in case it was relevant. I’m gonna read your paragraph, and you apply this paragraph, any time you’re suffering, no matter what it is, fear of public speaking, fear of heights, fear of back then, anything that bothers you, I said that somebody doesn’t look back at me. Anytime you’re upset, you can apply this paragraph. And I’ll give you one other bonus tonight. from it. It says, so let’s say fear of death, I must have decided wrongly, because I’m not at peace. I made this this this. Sorry, I made the decision myself. This is page 90. By the way, of course in miracles, when I taught course, in miracles and physical live group back in the day, we pulled from this page all the time, I started getting I must have decided wrongly because I’m not at peace. I made the decision myself. But I can also decide otherwise, I want to decide otherwise, because I want to be at peace. I do not feel guilty because the Holy Spirit won’t undo all the consequences of my wrong decision. If I will let him I choose to let him by allowing him to decide for God for me. Now that’s one of the the whole two hour class. So I’m not going to repeat it or explain it. But I’ll give you a little bonus teaching in that. When you’re upset, upset, I actually here’s what I do, because I’m not that upset anymore. Every night before I started meditating, usually lie down she Boston corpse pose on my back, palms up. You know, the way we end the yoga class, I usually start my meditation practice that way, lying down, and I’ll get my energy nice in a line. But the moment I’m really getting fat practice, I use paraphrased idea from that paragraph. And it says, Holy Spirit, choose her God for me. Whenever you start prayer, meditation, you want to connect the source, just say Holy Spirit, and whatever want to call it you could say divine mind, higher self, it doesn’t care. You just say, divine mind, choose for God for me. In the Trinity, we have God’s source of us, the children of God, and we have divine money. That’s what’s going on. So you have a child of God, if you notice, you’re caught up in death, fear of death, or wanting death. Because remember, in course, miracles, death never accomplished anything. And there’s no such thing as death. So because you’re buying into an illusion is your salvation or you’re scared of this thing. Either way, if you’re scared of something, you believe it’s real. And it’s not real. And of course, in miracles it says the healed healer is far too evolved to believe in illness, same thing, healed healer is born to evolve to believe in death. And, yeah, the idea is you can heal the sickness and death, because you made sickness and death yourself. But because you believe in death and stealing, you’re afraid of death, or you think you’re not afraid of death, but you want death, whatever death is in your awareness. It’s no different than any other false idea in your awareness, to say a Holy Spirit. Choose her God for me. Of course, miracles, teachers, and I’ve experienced this to be true. When you have something negative in your mind bothering you, you made it and you will keep it as long as you want to keep it you chose wrongly, and God won’t can’t go against your free will. So keep that negative thought. For a turn almost eternity, there’s a limit to how much you can suffer. God placed a limit on how much you can suffer. Eventually, I’ll let it go. But again, the miracle allows you to let it go quicker. So you say God, I’m miserable. But you got to get kind of specific about what am I doing in my mind that makes me miserable. I’m telling myself I’m gonna die. I’m telling myself I want to die. I’m telling myself that I’m damned when I’m telling myself I’m stupid. I don’t want that anymore. Holy Spirit shoots for God for me. I give it to you.

The words don’t matter the prayers deeper than the words when you’re really like I’m done with it. I just I’m done. Thank you. to God, I don’t want him anymore. That’s the underlying feeling. The Holy Spirit will take it away from you. And it won’t be in your mind anymore won’t be in your reality anymore. But you have to really mean it. It says if you want peace, you will have peace. But you must want the truly, you need to be honest with your mind. But everybody, of course, not just the percentage the question, you have to be honest and realize you don’t want peace, you want to be angry, you actually want to be scared. You want to be defensive, you want to be jealous. And whenever you have something negative in your life, you need to ask yourself, why do I want this because Course in Miracles, it’s like hope on a Pono. It’s like it is self actualize metaphysical philosophy, which teaches you create your own reality, the Course in Miracles to the ego and say you’re making up your own reality, by your make believe in your dreams seems very real to you. But the Holy Spirit is there to help you. If you’re creating a nightmare, make sorry, if you’re making a nightmare, and you know, like your nightmare to say, Holy Spirit, choose her God for me, I don’t want that anymore. And then is taken away from you for you. So realizing the Holy Spirit is a living reality, who’s on your side, who’s always there for you? is a beautiful thing to know about. And for me, that’s not debatable anymore. We can talk about what is the best use of a word as a teacher of God, should you use the word God should you use the word Holy Spirit, you just have to know your audience. And But anyway, like for me, I don’t want to use the word God in my mind when I leave my body nanobody experience. I’m program that I programmed myself to call up for God. That’s just my trigger phrase, I just say God, and I don’t have to be on my body to do that. My mind no matter where I am, in time, or space, or beyond time and space, can call it for God. There’s other names for God that I love using. But I’m not denying that that reality is there. And that reality has an aspect of it called divine mind. So that answer for death or sickness or poverty or suffering or obesity. I remember somebody in one of my classes way back when we got him into question miracles, and God He must have lost 100 pounds really fast. We said how do you do that? Because he didn’t do it the hypnotherapy? He said, Yes, of course, miracles. So whether it’s weight loss or death, you apply this teaching. So thank you. That’s a great question. And the other question is, how is forgiveness involved in accepting physical death? So one way to look at this and I remember this teaching from a yogic Master, I studied within Himalayas. He said, something like when you’re born, you come You know, you come into this world, you incarnate you take on the human body, and you think you’re this body, the spirit course miracles. And you look around and you see other people appear to be bodies. And then they you know, the human start teaching you that eventually all there’s thing called sickness, or some called Death is like, Well, you know, and Joanie, she was around for a while, but then she died. She’s not around anymore. So you learn. There’s something called Death, you learn it through your relationships with others. So again, the miracle is always rooted in relationship. Now. So where’s the unforgiveness here? It’s not to say that you’re angry at your parents for teaching with their something called death. You are in an illusion, that there’s a thing called death. So let’s imagine you know, I’m sitting in a room now, let’s imagine you’re in this room with me. And then you leave the room. Now you’re not in my awareness anymore. Where do you go, you must be dead. That’s my child, Emily, where did endzone go? Oh, she’s dead, where she loves she’s in heaven. You know, whatever question you have. It doesn’t say that. You talk to your child. So Johnny, second Heaven, no. But she says she not here anymore. That means the thing called death. The idea is that you have a wrong idea in your mind that just because somebody is not in the same room as you are the same dimension as you that there again. So forgiveness is the correction of the errors in your mind, especially when the errors are causing suffering all errors will cause suffering. So just the fact that I believe in death, means my mind is now in need of healing. And I must ask the Holy Spirit because I can undo my own illusion and say, I believe in God is dead Holy Spirit was the truth. Forgiveness is the humility to allow the Holy Spirit to correct the errors in my mind about this other child of God name and Joanie
