I can see how people would be thrown into doubt by using the body’s eyes. But if you can stay in the frequency of joy despite appearances (and joy is a VERY uncomfortable energy field if you are not used to it) I guarantee you – the picture & circumstances of your life will change.
Something to observe: How long can you stay in the energy field of joy before something pulls you back down into energy fields of worry, doubt, anger or depression? An hour, two hours, a week, a month? Once you’ve gone a month in consistent joy, I’m telling you: you’re out of those lower energy fields forever.
We’re baaaacccckkkk!!!!!!!!

Lesson 364 from A Course in Miracles:
This holy instant would I give to You.
Be You in charge. For I would follow You,
Certain that Your direction gives me peace.
I read something from Deepak Chopra’s book “The Third Jesus” that I would like to share with you:
“It’s impossible to quantify if you are on the spiritual path or how far along it you may be. But progress is always marked by transformation. The path isn’t about feeling better. It’s not about knowing who you are, or ending your suffering, or finding peace, or healing your deepest wounds. It’s about a transformation so profound that illusion is traded for reality. Jesus survives to this day as a force in the world because he embodied that truth completely. As we are headed for God-consciousness, our own transformation cannot stop halfway; we can’t settle for a better life or even the best life, for a glimpse of God, or even for God as a daily companion. The state of God-consciousness represents a leap in human development that you and I must be prepared to make personally. The middle of the path brings us to the leaping-off point. The end of the journey will look nothing like the world we took the leap from.”
“What will it feel like to finally arrive in God-consciousness? Anyone traveling the spiritual path will naturally ask this question. The middle of the journey isn’t the same as the destination.”
I repeat:
“The middle of the journey isn’t the same as the destination.”
“The mixture of old and new self must eventually resolve into a completely new self. Sin will no longer exist. God’s grace will be abundant, and his presence will guide our every action.”
That’s Deepak Chopra. Amazing, right?
So, if you feel that you are in the middle of the journey, still not quite there yet, all I can say is: Increase your efforts. Give more of yourself. Keep Going. Don’t give up. The middle of the journey is NOT the same as the destination. In one stroke of brilliant light, you will be changed in the twinkling of an eye. You will not get a continuation of small miracles and minor transformation (which is what the middle of the journey offers), but in one sudden motion, you will be entirely brand new. That’s the destination.
I love this little exchange with Don Juan & Carlos Castaneda:
“You have never taken responsibility for being in this unfathomable world,” Don Juan said in an indicting tone. “Therefore, you were never an artist, and perhaps you’ll never be a hunter,” he said.
“This is my best, don Juan.”
“No. You don’t know what your best is.”
“I’m doing all I can.”
“You’re wrong again. You can do better. There is one simple thing wrong with you – you think you have plenty of time.”
He paused and looked at me as if he was waiting for my reaction.
“You think you have plenty of time,” he repeated.
“Plenty of time for what, don Juan?”
“You think your life is going to last forever.”
“No, I don’t”
“Then, if you don’t think your life is going to last forever, what are you waiting for? Why the hesitation to change?” Don Juan asked.
Sickness is but another name for sin.
Healing is but another name for God.
The miracle is thus a call to Him.
Ha! I burst out laughing when I got to this third line!!! The miracle is thus a call to Him. How about that? The miracle is not something you wait for. The miracle is given immediately when you turn your attention to God. That is the miracle! It is not piles of money appearing in your mailbox and it is not seeing your body transformed.
It is the peace and joy that is given to you in that same second you call to God, as you remember Who you are.
A miracle is a correction, meaning by the time you remember to turn your focus to God, you have already shifted your consciousness. The shift in consciousness IS the miracle.
Turning towards God IS the transformation. You are healed instantly in the same second that you take your focus away from your problems and start thinking about God. That’s the miracle. That’s the shift in consciousness that is required and necessary.
Sickness is but another name for sin. You are sick when you are thinking about your problems.
Sin means OFF THE MARK.
In classical Greek, sin means “to miss the mark” or “to miss the target” which was also used in Old English archery.
In the biblical Hebrew, the generic word for sin is het. It means to error, to miss the mark. It does not mean to do evil.
So if your goal is God, then a perfect bulls-eye would be constant love, joy, peace and happiness. And if you are feeling any emotion other than perfect joy, all it means is that you missed the mark. Your aim was too high or too low, and chances are you were being lazy and sloppy. As with archery, practice makes perfect. Anyone can do it. It’s not like open-heart surgery designed only for the select few. Anyone can take a handful of darts (a handful of real-life problems and situations) and perfect their focus and aim.
You keep practicing and practicing, until finally one day, you hit a bulls-eye every single time. You never miss. In every situation, it’s God, God, God. It’s Love, Love, Love. It’s Give, Give, Give. You remember your wholeness and perfection and Identity in God in every situation. It’s easy to do if you are practicing every day, and putting in the effort. You don’t just hit it once, you hit it EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Father, the miracle reflects Your Love.
Your Name – God – replaces every thought of sin, and who is sinless cannot suffer pain.
Hi there.
Max & I recorded a Christmas Show based Jesus’ beautiful message from A Course in Miracles. Click to listen:
The Max & Lisa Christmas Show: Christ is born … in YOU!
Merry Christmas.
From G.I. Gurdjieff:
“As I have said before, man’s chief delusion is his conviction that he can DO. All people think they can do, all people want to do, and the first question all people ask is what are they to do. But actually nobody does anything and nobody can do anything. This is the first thing that must be understood. EVERYTHING HAPPENS. All that befalls a man, all that is done by him, all that comes from him – ALL THIS HAPPENS. And it happens in exactly the same way as rain falls as a result of a change in temperature in the higher regions of the atmosphere or the surrounding clouds, as snow melts under the rays of the sun, as dust rises with the wind.”
“Man is a machine.”
I love that!
“Everything happens exactly the same way as rain falls as a result of a change in temperature … as snow melts under the rays of the sun, as dust rises with the wind.”
!!!!!
That’s an amazing idea. When you change your own temperature – when you heat yourself up with the Love of God – new things begin to happen.
Our Father knows our needs. He gives us grace to meet them all. And so we trust in Him to send us miracles to bless the world, and heal our mind as we return to Him.
From the bible:
John 5:19: The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
John 5:30: I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
John 8:28: Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
John 15:5: I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
So, in other words: LET GOD TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING FROM NOW ON. HE KNOWS YOUR NEEDS AND HE WILL MEET EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
All you are asked to do is remember the truth of yourself as God created you and to allow Christ to use you for His Purposes, to be willing to let Him shine His Light through you.
Seriously … what could be easier? You’re not actually doing anything, except getting out of the way.
Here is a new episode. Click to listen:
I have no cause for anger or for fear – HA! YES!!!!! THANK YOU JESUS!
For You, Father, surround me.
And in every need that I perceive, Your grace suffices me.
This is Lesson 348 from A Course in Miracles.
Jesus says it again and again and again and again:
THERE IS NO NEED TO SUFFER.
Look at this sentence:
!!!!
Yes, Yes, Yes.
Our natural condition is one of PERFECT HAPPINESS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus’ single message is that I am whole and perfect as God created me, and my only job is to accept that statement as true.
What need have I for anger or for fear?
I have no need for either! Thank you God.
That’s the only question need to answer: What need have you for anger or for fear when God goes with you wherever you go?
The only way fear or anger would be possible at all is if you didn’t believe that God is with you. The only way you could be fearful or angry is if you thought you were alone. But the second you KNOW God is with you (and that God IS you!), fear and anger are impossible. You will never experience those emotions every again.
If you’re still fluctuating between love and fear …. why????
I am completely baffled that not everyone is happy all the time. Residing now on this side, I cannot understand why anyone would resist the offering to live in a place where there is only love.
You need to ask yourself: WHAT DO I WANT?
Be honest. Look at it. Ask the question – WHAT DO I WANT – and answer it. Whatever you want will be given to you, fully in that same minute.
“NOTHING is difficult that is WHOLLY DESIRED.” – A Course in Miracles
When you want only love, and you desire it wholly, that’s all you will see.
When you are finished with conflict, it will disappear from your life forever. There will be no trace of it. Not even a little! This is a course in miracles.
When you are done with sickness and limitation, it will disappear in that very same instant.
My job is assisting Souls to cross over. I have nothing to do with the dream at all. I’m in the world … BUT NOT OF IT. I’ve made an agreement to be here in a body that God be known.
Come take my hand. I’m here to take you home. I’m here to help you cross the bridge to the Real World.
“The bridge itself is nothing more than a transition in your PERSPECTIVE of reality. On this side, everything you see is grossly distorted, and COMPLETELY out of perspective. What IS little and insignificant is magnified, and what is strong and powerful, cut down to littleness. In the transition, there is a period of confusion, in which a sense of actual disorientation seems to occur. But fear it not, for it means nothing more than that you have been willing to LET GO your hold on the distorted frame of reference, that SEEMED to hold your world together. This frame of reference is BUILT around the special relationship. Without THIS illusion, there can BE no meaning you would still seek here.
Fear not that you will be abruptly lifted up, and hurled into reality. Time is kind, and, if you use it FOR reality, it will keep gentle pace with you, in your transition. The urgency is only in dislodging your minds from their FIXED position here. This will NOT leave you homeless, and WITHOUT a frame of reference. The period of disorientation, which precedes the actual transition, is far shorter than the time it took to fix your minds so firmly on illusions. Delay will hurt you now MORE THAN BEFORE, ONLY because you realize it IS delay, and that escape from pain IS REALLY POSSIBLE. Find hope and comfort, rather than despair, in this.
You could no longer find even the ILLUSION of love in ANY special relationship here. For you are no longer WHOLLY insane, and you WOULD recognize the guilt of SELF-betrayal FOR WHAT IT IS. Nothing you seek to strengthen, in the special relationship, is REALLY part of you. And you cannot keep PART of the thought-system that taught you it WAS real, and understand the Thought that REALLY knows what you are. You HAVE allowed the Thought of your reality to enter your minds, and, because YOU invited it, it WILL abide with you. Your love for it will not allow you to betray yourself, and you COULD not enter into a relationship WHERE IT COULD NOT GO WITH YOU, for you would NOT be APART from it.
The Holy Spirit asks only this little help of you: Whenever your thoughts wander to a special relationship which still ATTRACTS you, enter with Him into a holy instant, and there, LET HIM RELEASE YOU.
There is no need to suffer. There is no need for anger. There’s no need for problems.
There is a world where there is only love. Why wait?
Being angry is a red-light indication you are trapped in illusions. Why would you get angry at dream figures? Why would you linger in a place of madness?
Anger comes from judgment. Judgment is the weapon you have used against yourself to keep the miracle away from you.
You can let it go.
Come on home.
