Accomplished

When your body and your ego and your dreams are gone, you will know that you will last forever. 

Perhaps you think this is accomplished through death, but nothing is accomplished through death, because death is nothing.

Everything is accomplished through life, and life is of the mind and in the mind.

The body neither lives nor dies, because it cannot contain you who are life.

If we share the same mind, you can overcome death because I did.

Death is an attempt to resolve conflict by not deciding at all.

Like any other impossible solution the ego attempts, it will not work.

Right-mindedness

Right-mindedness is not to be confused with the knowing mind, because it is applicable only to right perception.

You can be right-minded or wrong-minded, and even this is subject to degrees, clearly demonstrating that knowledge is not involved.

The term "right-mindedness" is properly used as the correction for "wrong-mindedness," and applies to the state of mind that induces accurate perception.

It is miracle-minded because it heals misperception, and this is indeed a miracle in view of how you perceive yourself.

Myths and Magic

Myths and magic are closely associated, since myths are usually related to ego origins, and magic to the powers the ego ascribes to itself. 

Mythological systems generally include some account of "the creation," and associate this with its particular form of magic. 

The so-called "battle for survival" is only the ego's struggle to preserve itself, and its interpretation of its own beginning. 

This beginning is usually associated with physical birth, because it is hard to maintain that the ego existed before that point in time. 

The more "religiously" ego-oriented may believe that the soul existed before, and will continue to exist after a temporary lapse into ego life. 

Some even believe that the soul will be punished for this lapse. However, salvation does not apply to spirit, which is not in danger and does not need to be salvaged.

Wishing All A Wonderful Christmas CElebration

The Christ

Let the Christ in you interpret for you, and do not try to limit what you see by narrow little beliefs that are unworthy of God's Son. 

For until Christ comes into His Own, the Son of God will see himself as Fatherless.

He was not given there, nor was received by anything except yourself. For no two brothers can unite except through Christ, Whose vision sees them one.

Think what is given you, my holy brother. '

This child will teach you what you do not understand, and make it plain. For his will be no alien tongue.

 He will need no interpreter to you, for it was you who taught him what he knows because you knew it. He could not come to anyone but you, never to "something else." Where Christ has entered no one is alone, for never could He find a home in separate ones. 

Yet must He be reborn into His ancient home, so seeming new and yet as old as He, a tiny newcomer, dependent on the holiness of your relationship to let Him live.

One Life

We share one life because we have one Source, a Source from Which perfection comes to us, remaining always in the holy minds which He created perfect.

As we were, so are we now and will forever be.

 A sleeping mind must waken, as it sees its own perfection mirroring the Lord of Life so perfectly it fades into what is reflected there.

And now it is no more a mere reflection. It becomes the thing reflected, and the light which makes reflection possible.

No vision now is needed. For the wakened mind is one that knows its Source, its Self, its Holiness.

Dreams

There is a way of finding certainty right here and now.

Refuse to be a part of fearful dreams whatever form they take, for you will lose identity in them.

You find yourself by not accepting them as causing you, and giving you effects.

You stand apart from them, but not apart from him who dreams them.

  Thus you separate the dreamer from the dream, and join in one, but let the other go.

The dream is but illusion in the mind. And with the mind you would unite, but never with the dream.

It is the dream you fear, and not the mind. You see them as the same, because you think that you are but a dream.

And what is real and what is but illusion in yourself you do not know and cannot tell apart.

Images

Today's idea does not describe the way you see yourself now.

It does, however, describe what vision will show you. It is difficult for anyone who thinks he is in this world to believe this of himself.

Yet the reason he thinks he is in this world is because he does not believe it.

You will believe that you are part of where you think you are.

That is because you surround yourself with the environment you want.

And you want it to protect the image of yourself that you have made.

The image is part of this environment. What you see while you believe you are in it is seen through the eyes of the image.

This is not vision. Images cannot see.

Renewed

I am renewed each time a brother learns there is a way from misery and pain.

 I am reborn each time a brother's mind turns to the light in him and looks for me. 

I have forgotten no one. Help me now to lead you back to where the journey was begun, to make another choice with me.

Release me as you practice once again the thoughts I brought to you from Him Who sees your bitter need, and knows the answer God has given Him. 

Together we review these thoughts. Together we devote our time and effort to them. 

And together we will teach them to our brothers. God would not have Heaven incomplete. It waits for you, as I do. I am incomplete without your part in me. 

And as I am made whole we go together to our ancient home, prepared for us before time was and kept unchanged by time, immaculate and safe, as it will be at last when time is done.

Jesus speaks

I said before that of yourself you can do nothing, but you are not of yourself. If you were, what you have made would be true, and you could never escape. It is because you did not make yourself that you need be troubled over nothing. Your gods are nothing, because your Father did not create them. 

You cannot make creators who are unlike your Creator, any more than He could have created a Son who was unlike Him. If creation is sharing, it cannot create what is unlike itself. It can share only what it is. Depression is isolation, and so it could not have been create

Immortality (Joel Goldsmith)

Everyone is interested in the subject of immortality – immortality here and now, in this body, not merely an immortality to be attained after death.

 It is in this very body that immortality must be experienced – this very body which we are now using as our instrument.

We shall not lose our body, but we will lose our false sense of body and come into the realization of the true nature of body.

By losing the sense of disease, accident, and old age, and coming into a higher realization of perfect body, there is no loss of body:
 
 There is just the loss of a false sense of body and the realization of the true nature of body.

Supply

I am that center through which God operates, and, therefore, I understand the nature of supply.

Never will I attempt to demonstrate supply; never will I attempt to get supply.

 Since the activity of the Christ, Itself, is supply, then all I need to do is to let it flow.

Since “I and my Father are one,” and I am the Christ, or Son of God, I am that place through which God flows.

Therefore, I can meet every demand that is made upon me in the recognition of have.

sowing

"As ye sow, so shall ye reap" He interprets to mean what you consider worth cultivating you will cultivate in yourself.

Your judgment of what is worthy makes it worthy for you.

"Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord" is easily reinterpreted if you remember that ideas increase only by being shared.

The statement emphasizes that vengeance cannot be shared.

Give it therefore to the Holy Spirit, Who will undo it in you because it does not belong in your mind, which is part of God.
