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.
