The Holy Spirit takes the very device the ego made to protect itself and uses it to undo it. His devices can only be used for good. Don’t worry about results that may or may not be seen on the level of form. Be grateful for what forgiveness and the Holy Spirit are doing for you. By forgiving your brothers and sisters in the manner just described, you are rejoining with what you really are. You’re telling the world and the bodily images you see that their behavior can’t have any effect on you, and if they can’t have any effect on you, then they don’t really exist separately from you. Thus, there is no separation of any kind in reality —which brings us to the final major component of the attitude of forgiveness: Trust the Holy Spirit and choose His strength. The peace of the Holy Spirit will be given to you if you do your job. He will heal the larger, unconscious mind that is hidden from you, and give you His peace at the same time. This peace may not always come right away, and sometimes it will. Sometimes it may surprise you in the form of something happening that would usually upset you —except this time it doesn’t. All this will lead you to the Kingdom of Heaven, for along with the Holy Spirit, you are doing the work that leads to the condition of peace —which is the condition of the Kingdom. Forgiveness is actually preparing you to re-enter the Kingdom of Heaven!

Meditation releases the light within
Meditation has for its purpose admitting the light which is God, letting loose the light that is stored up within us. The kingdom of God, that is, spiritual light, is within us, and we must open out a way for the light, hidden within, to escape. Meditation, therefore, has nothing to do with overcoming sin, disease, lack, or unemployment; it has nothing to do with stopping evil men from continuing their evil practices. Meditation has to do with us as individuals, realizing and releasing the light that is within. In the attainment of that, the darkness disappears, and the darkness is any and every form of human discord. The darkness and its forms vanish the very moment light is introduced.
We do not claim that we know how to heal disease, but we do know how to sit and realize the impotent nature of anything other than God’s presence. “Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above.” There is no power in darkness; there is no power in the forms in which darkness appears: sin, disease, or lack. Therefore, we do not go into meditation to overcome these; we do not go into meditation to destroy any of the evils of this world. We go into meditation that we may realize:
‘I and the Father are one. Where I am, God is, and because of God’s presence, there is peace, harmony, wholeness, and completeness. The place whereon I stand is holy ground, for in the presence of God there is the light of truth.
God’s presence is my sufficiency in all things. In God’s presence is fulfillment, and I am here in meditation to realize this truth and to be a transparency so that the kingdom of God within me may be released in consciousness, thereby dispelling every appearance of darkness, every appearance of discord and inharmony. If I realize and feel the presence of God, everyone within range of my consciousness, receptive and responsive to God, feels it, and feels the effects of it.’
Every time that we attain, in meditation, an awareness, a feeling, of God’s presence, we have released the light into our home, and then there are no dark places there any more: no hidden errors, no sins, no diseases, no lacks. Where there is light, darkness does not abide; where there is Spirit, there can be no form of mortality. To realize God is to realize freedom and to attain a complete release from fear.
‘I have meat the world knows not of. I have within me the realization of a divine Presence, of a spiritual Light; and this is my bread, my meat, my wine, and my water. This is the law unto my life; this is the Presence that is within me always and goes before me.’
We need not voice this; in fact, we must not voice it. “Pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” In secret, we realize God’s grace and His presence; in secret, we realize the spiritual nature of the function of God. In proportion as we feel an inner release, an inner confidence, we can be assured that we have attained some measure of spiritual light; and then we go about our daily tasks, whatever their name or nature may be, and leave the rest to that realized presence of God.
We have been told by the Master to be in the world, but not of it. This means that unless we sit down for a meditation several times during the day, we will soon find that we are again embroiled in “this world”—its fears and its discords.
Recently, something came to my attention that bore witness to the evil nature of some of the men in positions of power who are manipulating the world, and for a moment it brought a sense of inner disturbance. But almost simultaneously the Voice spoke and said, “But there are not any evil men: man is spiritual.” That brought a complete release from being in and of the world, or of being under the influence of its fears and worries. Did that realization remove these evil men from the world? No, it removed them and any effect they might have from my consciousness as well as from the consciousness of those who are attuned to my consciousness.

Man is transfixed by … himself

It’s been said by brilliant people, mostly Buddhists, for the last 2,600 years, that there are three great mysteries in life. To a fish, it’s the water. To a bird, it’s the air. To a human being, it’s himself.

. Hey…!
Let me get this straight – 65 million years ago, a giant meteor, 10 to 50 miles wide, slammed into the Yucatan, killing all dinosaurs, yet the planet was not destroyed. But now we think cow farts will destroy the planet? MC
When you are dead, you won’t even know that you are dead. It is a pain only felt by others. Same thing when you are stupid.
That depressing moment when u dip ur cookie into milk for too long, it breaks off & u wonder why bad things happen to good people*
I know a guy who suffers from paranoia & procrastination.
He thinks th whole world is out t get him but not just now.
:p :p :p :p
Learn to choose
You think it is God’s will that is being acted out here, but you and the world are wrong about that. It is something else that is being constantly acted out here —namely your seeming separation from God. We want to help you return to your reality with Him. The seeming interaction between you and God is really an interaction within your own unconscious split mind —between the part of you that has forgotten your reality and the part of your mind where the Holy Spirit dwells. He has never left you. His Voice, which you will learn how to be vigilant for, is your memory of God —your memory of your true home. This Voice represents your long-forgotten reality. Now you must learn how to choose, like the prisoners in Plato’s cave, something that you will have tremendous resistance to choosing. You must learn how to choose between the Holy Spirit, Who represents the real you, and the part of your mind that represents the false you. And you will learn how to do it in such a way that your long-imprisoned unconscious mind can finally be freed. It is literally impossible for you to do this on your own. You are certainly welcome to try. If you will let yourself be helped, then much time can be saved for you.

Let HS teach how remove barriers
If you really want to be perfect Love like him [Jesus] and God, then what you need to do is learn how to remove, with the Holy Spirit’s help, the barriers that you have placed in between yourself and God. Then you will naturally and inevitably become aware of what you really are.

Understand Jesus’ teaching in its entirety
There are indeed some universal truths that J [JESUS] has in common with others. Once you understand what he’s saying IN ITS ENTIRETY (caps mine, rjs), then he speaks for an original thought system that will lead you much more quickly to God, and is not really the same as any of the others.

Break cycle of birth & death
●● Everything going on with you now is symbolic of unhealed stuff from past lives, which of course is all symbolic of the separation of God. To heal one lifetime is to heal them all. ~ Mike Lemieux
●● Excerpt from Your Immortal Reality: How to Break the Cycle of Birth and Death:
Maybe you’re watching TV and you forgive a news story that you see. Another layer of the onion is peeled away, but you think nothing’s happening. In the meantime, the Holy Spirit is shining your forgiveness everywhere throughout the mind that is projecting the universe, and thus through the projection as well. It cuts through unconscious guilt and its projections of karma like a laser beam. It goes through all of your past lives, all through the different dimensions of time, everywhere in the universe of energy and form, and through every parallel universe that appears to exist. Incredible things are happening! The Holy Spirit is actually collapsing time as you sit there.
No details please
WHY IS IT COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE TO MENTION ANY DETAILS OF PROBLEMS TO BE HEALED ?
The reason is very, very clear: starting with the answer (in the Realm/dimension of God) entails fully focusing on perfect God and perfect man who has never been anything but whole and complete.
Done with world mind
My apologies to the world mind
Who has been ever wakeful
Waiting to devour the slightest breakthrough,
I’m done with you coz the world don’t matter one iota
I’m free coz my sights are so much higher
It’s so beautiful here!
When I look out and when I look in
It’s all the same now – East and West!
No longer asking for this improvement or that: all is perfect
Why, even my dreams are replete with healing, happiness, health, harmony, wholeness, hallelujah!
