“Now, let’s say your tooth is putting up a heroic and dramatic role of telling you that unless that tooth is taken care of this minute, you’re practically going to die. Or, let us say a new pain has appeared. Or, let us say someone called this morning from down the peninsula, someone whose doctor told him three months ago he couldn’t make it and he’s got a cancer in the lower intestine. Let’s say that these things come up in our lives, in ourselves, in our friends, in our relatives, and people who know us. What are we going to do about it? I want everyone to know what to do.
“And now the first principle is: Ask yourself about God; only about God! Forget you, forget the person, forget how it hurts you, forget how it hurts the person, forget all of that. Go right to asking yourself questions about God, and ask yourself these questions: Where is God right now? I don’t care what your problem is; ask yourself where is God right now. And you know what the answer has to be or you’re not in truth. If you can’t accept, without quibbling, that God is there and here, that God is where you are, where your house is, where your friends are, where your children are, where your parents are, that it doesn’t matter where the problem’s coming from, God is there, right there.
“That’s your first question; where is God? And then ask yourself, what is God doing? And your answer would have to be, well, God’s doing what God should do. God is being God. God is functioning. Then ask yourself, does God see this error, this problem, this evil, this terrible thing? It’s always about God. Does God see that my business is down this month, that I haven’t reached my sales quota? Does God see that my husband and I are on the rocks? Does God see that something new has developed in my physical system which is very disturbing? Ask yourself if God sees this. And then answer it, and be sure to be honest that you know God does not see this. God is here, and God is there. God is being God. God does not see this. Why does not God see this ? Why doesn’t God see that my business is down, that my marriage is going on the rocks? Why doesn’t God see that I’ve got a great, terrible catastrophe going on in my body? And then your answer must be, because God only sees reality.
“Before you get to your ninth or tenth question, you’ve got all the answers you see. But, keep on asking new questions about God until you come to a place within yourself where you understand so well that God isn’t seeing this; God is being God! And God isn’t changing this, and God is here, and God has the power to do everything.
“Finally, it becomes clear to you that if God isn’t going to do something about this now, there must be a reason. And the reason becomes fascinating to know and finally to believe, God only knows that there is a perfect universe everywhere. God only knows that I am perfect. God only knows that everything about me must be perfect, because I am His Child. And the more you continue asking yourself about God, the more you will expose the falsity of your belief. Your business isn’t down; your marriage isn’t going on the rocks. You don’t have a catastrophe in your body. Who are you talking about? All you’re talking was about someone other than you. You were living in a false sense of self. God doesn’t see your false sense of self. God doesn’t improve your false sense of self. Who are you? And that is where you finally come.
“After you’ve finished asking your self about all that God is, and what God is doing, don’t stop at the four or five questions that I have asked; ask more, and more, and more, always confining yourself to God. Is God capable of permitting any imperfection in His universe? Is God closing one eye to let evil happen? Is God ever forsaking His Child?
“Now, let’s get to you. After you’ve found out that God is running a perfect universe, and is here doing that, you may begin to suspect that there is no you in this dire trouble you have considered yourself to be. That wasn’t you, that was this temporary world creature you have been willing to call you. You’re not going into higher worlds with that fellow.
“Now, ask yourself a few questions about you. And one is, who are you? Are you willing to answer that to yourself, who are you? Then ask yourself if you are the Christ. Ask yourself if God is your Father? Ask yourself if the Christ is perfect? Ask yourself if you are perfect? Who are you? Are you the Child of God? Are you the Christ? Is Christ perfect? Are you perfect? If you answer each question correctly, you come to the clear-cut realization that I am the child of God called Christ who is perfect, and therefore, I am perfect. If you are perfect, what is going on the rocks? How did you lose money this month in your business? How can you have a malfunction in your body? Aren’t these your statement that you are not the Christ? You see the duality?
“Now then, the foundation we must end up with is: I am the Christ, the Child of God, perfect in every way. This is not something to be attained; this is the fact of life. And only that Consciousness will stand there in the Garden of Gethsemane, or any other garden, and turn to the one whose ear is cut off, and watch it come back into place, because the Christ of God is always perfect and must appear in that perfection.”

THAT /\ /\ /\ up there!!! That’s the truth! We don’t make it true by believing it. We don’t even make it happen by applying it. It’s already 100% Truth inviolable.
We do have the right to remind ourselves every 5 minutes until all the noise fizzles out! (Reminding ourselves every 5 minutes, until it takes hold, is far better than flipping back and forth.) Hint: the flesh-mind will give up. Nothing real will change, and THAT’s the awakening, the healing!
