Miracle Monday! Forgiveness is meaningless! ACIM Lesson 134 “Let me perceive forgiveness as it is.” A lot of stories & beliefs in our lives & world are fantasies and while they may serve a purpose they are not the truth. Example this radio show is from 1:00-2:00 Eastern Time, that would be 12:00 Central Time, 11:00 Mountain and 10:00 Pacific or 3:00AM in Australia the following day. How can it be 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm or 3am the next day all at the same time? So called ‘time of day’ is a useful fantasy. Or the celebration of Santa Claus (fantasy) instead of active presence of love giving to others (truth). Forgiveness is applied to fantasies not “the truth.”
This lesson says, “Let us review the meaning of “forgive,” for it is apt to be distorted and to be perceived as something that entails an unfair sacrifice of righteous wrath, a gift unjustified and undeserved, and a complete denial of the truth. In such a view, forgiveness must be seen as mere eccentric folly, and this course appear to rest salvation on a whim. This twisted view of what forgiveness means is easily corrected, when you can accept the fact that pardon is not asked for what is true. It must be limited to what is false. It is irrelevant to everything except illusions. Truth is God’s creation, and to pardon that is meaningless. All truth belongs to Him, reflects His laws and radiates His Love. Does this need pardon? How can you forgive the sinless and eternally benign? The major difficulty that you find in genuine forgiveness on your part is that you still believe you must forgive the truth, and not illusions. You conceive of pardon as a vain attempt to look past what is there; to overlook the truth, in an unfounded effort to deceive yourself by making an illusion true. This twisted viewpoint but reflects the hold that the idea of sin retains as yet upon your mind, as you regard yourself.” Forgive what is inside you, no need to forgive them and what “they did” (this is all your own perceptual error or illusion) they simply triggered what you need to address. The lesson also says, “Those who are forgiven from the view their sins are real are pitifully mocked and twice condemned; first, by themselves for what they think they did, and once again by those who pardon them. It is sin’s unreality that makes forgiveness natural and wholly sane, a deep relief to those who offer it; a quiet blessing where it is received. It does not countenance illusions, but collects them lightly, with a little laugh, and gently lays them at the feet of truth. And there they disappear entirely. Forgiveness is the only thing that stands for truth in the illusions of the world. It sees their nothingness, and looks straight through the thousand forms in which they may appear. It looks on lies, but it is not deceived. It does not heed the self-accusing shrieks of sinners mad with guilt. It looks on them with quiet eyes, and merely says to them, “My brother, what you think is not the truth.” There is a very simple way to find the door to true forgiveness, and perceive it open wide in welcome. When you feel that you are tempted to accuse someone of sin in any form, do not allow your mind to dwell on what you think he did, for that is self-deception. Ask instead, “Would I accuse myself of doing this?” michael gave the example of a child, hurt and abused, hiding behind a dumpster. You reach back to get the child aand in its fear it bites. Would you beat the child or see it is reacting out of its fear? It is the same as those in war, doing what they think will bring their safety. Their illusion of safety is insanity. Continues, “Thus will you see alternatives for choice in terms that render choosing meaningful, and keep your mind as free of guilt and pain as God Himself intended it to be, and as it is in truth. It is but lies that would condemn. In truth is innocence the only thing there is. Forgiveness stands between illusions and the truth; between the world you see and that which lies beyond; between the hell of guilt and Heaven’s gate. Across this bridge, as powerful as love which laid its blessing on it, are all dreams of evil and of hatred and attack brought silently to truth. They are not kept to swell and bluster, and to terrify the foolish dreamer who believes in them. He has been gently wakened from his dream by understanding what he thought he saw was never there. And now he cannot feel that all escape has been denied to him. He does not have to fight to save himself. He does not have to kill the dragons which he thought pursued him. Nor need he erect the heavy walls of stone and iron doors he thought would make him safe. He can remove the ponderous and useless armor made to chain his mind to fear and misery. His step is light, and as he lifts his foot to stride ahead a star is left behind, to point the way to those who follow him. Forgiveness must be practiced, for the world cannot perceive its meaning, nor provide a guide to teach you its beneficence. There is no thought in all the world that leads to any understanding of the laws it follows, nor the Thought that it reflects. It is as alien to the world as is your own reality. And yet it joins your mind with the reality in you. Today we practice true forgiveness, that the time of joining be no more delayed. For we would meet with our reality in freedom and in peace. Our practicing becomes the footsteps lighting up the way for all our brothers, who will follow us to the reality we share with them. That this may be accomplished, let us give a quarter of an hour twice today, and spend it with the Guide Who understands the meaning of forgiveness, and was sent to us to teach it.”

(notes by Roma – thank you) michael was asked about atheism. He suggested someone found a piece of chalk, which read “Acme Chalk” in slimy mud. If… out of the slime came “Acme Chalk”…what about the existence of a rose, or a butterfly, or an alligator, or a newborn baby? Life is full of awesome miracles. Where do they come from? Source is just too big for us to conceive of… and yet…we can receive guidance and support, if we are open. In the film “The Man Who Touched Infinity,” a man in India in the 1800’s…on his own…discovered the math that is now being used today, with black holes in the Universe. In the Aramaic language, Jeshua taught us to connect with, Rookha d’Koodsha, a feminine force for good, sometimes referred to now, as Holy Spirit. In the Laws of Living course (LOL), which michael will be teaching at Heartland from August 29th thru September 13th, one can return to a full blown relationship with Love. Life with that Presence and guidance, is only interfered with by hostility or fear. The choice is ours to make, and the course will teach what to do to stay connected with that love. Susan Darnell will teach an 8 week course in “Laws of Living” in Willmington, NC. She said it produces freedom from fear, and shared that a donor is giving scholarship $ for some lucky person to take the class. Susan says she sees the work as “Creating the Community of Love,” and willingness is the cosmic grease. Dr. Tim suggested to come with a completely empty heart, mind and soul to the course. Michael quoted Emerson: “get our bloated nothingness out of the way.” Susan shared with michael that when she was 9 years old, she saw the need for this work, and told Jeshua that she wanted to be a Disciple, even as a girl. At that time, women were still not allowed to speak in a church, thanks to the influence of Paul of Tarsus’ issues. Many women backed away from their own path. Early on Susan questioned her Mother about some of the discrepancies she saw in religion. Her Mother told her: They think they are the only ones going to Heaven,” and with her Mother saying that, Susan was able to pursue the freedom to talk to “Jesus” on her own. (What a joy to hear her tell it.) michael suggested it may have to do with insecurity in men. Whenever fear is used to reinforce…it is a fraud. The LOL course is easier to teach because of the text. Susan shared about a man in her class once who “didn’t like anybody – male or female.” Somehow he made a huge shift, when the term Newborn Baby was used to explain the purity of our natural state as Human Beings. After that…when the course was over, and people were hugging goodbye…he presented himself saying “No – I want a hug…from the whole class!” Newborn… holding a space of Love. The lol course transforms lives. That man had come to that town in a diseased state, to die… but with that miracle shift, the whole class became believers. michael said, Rage doesn’t work. Forgiveness heals rage, and love becomes natural and normal. Rex asked for a review of Regulatory Speech. michael said: a newborn’s body responds to speech. The power of life and death is in our words. Thought produces molecules called neuropeptides, through which mind energy circulates throughout the system, and lands on a cell with an antenna which receives and organizes the light energy. This becomes the chemistry in our bodies. We are only energy systems… with the illusion of bodies. Disintegration by the negative energies produces death. Forgiveness removes that negative energy in the cells. Mind energy produces feelings in the physiology. Most people do not feel the body, however. Words are frequencies, which create pictures in the mind, which then create our experiences. See more on YOUTUBE: “ACIM What Is the World, What Is Forgiveness?” Words direct perception; perceptions guide behavior. When our words and perceptions are aligned with Love, our lives are always synchronistic. Our words as we look at a newborn, ie “toes” creates micromovements in the newborn. Energies which are “off the mark” (“sin” in Aramaic) are passed on, from the previous 4 generations: speech, behavior, attitudes and perceptions from 4 generation stored in our DNA. Twins will each have the whole family history stored, and yet can turn out to be very different individuals. Perhaps the doctor did not expect two babies. As the first baby is born, there is an air of excitement and joy communicated to and experienced by the child, who can even be aware of the Mother’s hairdo! So…now the second baby comes forth to the terror of the doctor, even though he may say “good news…here comes another one.” The Father may be thinking “We don’t have the $ and resources for two, and feels fear. Mom may be concerned about breastfeeding two…one on each breast. The second child is born into an environment of fear and thinks “People don’t want me… Oh my God…what’s wrong with me?” The first child came into a loving environment…the second into intense fear… ergo …very different people. Then there’s the rich, successful man whose Father was a drunk, but his brother became a drunk like his father. They are different because of the filter settings in the very beginning. The average life is lived by set antecedents…but…they can be healed. Prayer and loving support was requested sent to Martha Johnson and Elizabeth, whose son, John, just passed away in a car accident. We affirm Perfect Peace and Love.

Recovery Wednesday! michael spoke of addictive behaviors such as smoking and alcohol and the inhibitory system. We describe addiction as the compulsive use of any person, place, circumstance, thing, substance, activity or event to keep from 1) hearing and following your highest guidance, 2) to anesthesize yourself from feeling what is real for you and dealing with it.It can be any “drug” … opiates, marijuana, any narcotic legal or not, sugar, sex, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, porn, gambling, chocolate, eating, sleeping, junk food, hostility, victimhood, television, video games, cell phones, busy-ness (or your business), even exercising or weightlifting or running … the list goes on. (check out http://www.whyagain.org/index.php/en/healing/articles/389-want-to-stop-the-addiction-where-to-start) Education of children is vital so they can recognize the marketing lies and not fall for the need to self-medicate and to be able to remove the energetic patterns that don’t belong and return to the feeling of love. Caller Gail will begin pursuing to get us set up towards the end of September near St. Louis. She offered addicts (at least for herself) are attempting to fill the void within themself…the space only the Creator can fill (Love). She wanted to make a point that warnings and information about the dangers is not enough. Smoking offered for herself a benefit in that she was able to become more functional and concentrate. michael offered that tobacco kills Candida, which is often a result of too much antibiotics, and blooms with sugar intake (alcohol turns to sugar) so smoking would create an environment more conducive to concentration. It is a crazy cycle. That does not mean it is good for you. Better to get the Candida under control another way. Gail mentioned her acne as a young girl and michael pointed out that is also a side-effect of Candida. Gail offered she had not experienced some of the horrors of being alcoholic but once she started drinking she actually began to feel comfortable in her skin so she had a “pay-off”to continue. michael said alcohol stops the feedback mechanism that lets you know something is off base, it hides the pain and creates more damage. Jeanie offered football players getting injured and being given a shot to stop the pain and they keep playing and get hurt worse. In the intensive,we began the Why Again workshop with guests last night and many have been in this class before and yet said they heard something new. Caller Ron, appreciated what Gail said. He too had a payoff and eventually realized the false experience of bliss was not the way it should be in life. This work is about getting back to who we really are … true recovery! Dr Tim offered an echo that it is about removing the falseness and recovering the true self. This works and takes one to a quality of life without the drug and without the underlying pain. |

Thank you Dr. Tim and Michele for filling in on such short notice. The Dalai Lama says Kindness is like water and Religion is like Tea. You can live without tea but you must have water to survive, you can live without religion but you must have kindness. Then he says “my religion is kindness” And “you” are the source of kindness – it is within you – give it away. (Roma’s notes) Dr. Tim and Michele standing in for michael and Jeanie The theme was Kindness, which the Dalai Lama considers to be essential to life…like water… whereas religion would be like a tea. Dr Tim said kindness would be to actively apply a tool to oneself, to remove any negatives. What’s left is (love) “beyond description.” Worksheet step 7…power beyond. Dr. Tim explains the awesome value of the wake-up sheet in detail. First observe…Then intervene. To be kind to oneself…clean out the old emotional energies “clump by clump.” Like any tool…we must use it to benefit from it. The “Way of Mastery” mentioned (originated between 1994 and ’97), which Tim says is written by the same author as ACIM…can be purchased at www.shantichristo.com less expensively than on amazon. Roma called in…said on occasion, it is shocking when the pure energy of kindness as generosity and love speaks through her. Obviously not the normal, mundane personality. Roma had ordered and watched the DVD about the two 9/11 widows reaching out to the Afghanistani widows… very inspiring. Mischel asked Dr Tim the difference between kindness vrs. Gentleness. Dr. Tim answered that kindness is richer and deeper…and gentleness can be incorporated as well. Mischel went to ACIM and shared with us the attributes of God’s Teachers: Trust, Honesty, Tolerance, Gentleness, Joy, Generosity, Patience, Faithfulness, and Open Mindedness. Brenda called in from Heartland, that her son, Christopher, had been hospitalized (his health issue has since resolved). She was not notified, and when she found out she felt anger and rage at having not been told. Her ego mind was triggered in abandonment and grief. She later learned that it had been a conscious choice by her the Mother-in–law not to distract her from her time at Heartland because everyone knew how much being at Heartland meant to her. Dr. Tim: It’s not me keeping my heart beating. He mentioned the Co-Dependency/Interdependency worksheets available. We are all holding Christopher in the Light. In the last 5 minutes, michael joined the conversation and said, if necessary…10 times a minute…return to the inner reality. Thanked Dr. Tim and Mischel for pitching in today. He said the Heart Center was closed for two years, so needed lots of TLC. There is a new kitchen floor now, and Ari made a great Japanese eggplant dish. Guests from the local community have been dropping in for the evening sessions of the “Why…Again” workshop this first week. Going slowly… and thoroughly… thru the worksheet, step by step…learning to de-code the awesome tool Jeshua delivered 2,000 years ago. michael quoted William James with the three most important things: kindness…kindness…and kindness. We are the Source of that profound kindness |

Building brain cells of understanding. Last night’s class included discussions of the genetic dynamics. Jeanie shares her prcess on “not being enough” and being a “do-er” and “rescuer” as Dr Tim processes her through. Julie Haverstick joins in the process as does Ann from HeartLand. (Roma’s notes – thank you) michael and Jeanie started out the broadcast. Michael was called elsewhere, and Dr. Tim took the reins, Jeanie shared that she has been overwhelmed with work of cleaning up HeartLand and filling in for Ari for several days. She became aware of her tendency to overwork (rescuing other people because no one ever rescued her). Realizing she never let anyone know she needed rescuing because it might “put them out”… an old pattern in her life. This time…when it came up…she was able to finally ask for help…and got it! It was great to hear Jeanie touch and release some very deep levels inside of her. Dr. Tim reminded her to set goals only for the next waking period. That helps us to set manageable and fulfillable goals. Julie H. called in and acknowledged Jeanie … saying this time they both were able to laugh and “do it lighter.” Julie suggested a new vision in #7 of the worksheet…beyond a new goal. Dr. Tim suggested that the word doesn’t hold the meaning…we must look to see “How do I feel about it?” He reminded us to tap into Joy, and resolve the upset. Julie said, “tap into whatever you do want…not what you don’t want.” Jeanie then asked a question that came up from last night’s “Why…Again.” What is the distinction between apathy and peace? Dr. Tim said apathy is low energy, and peace has the energy of joy of life. Jeanie said to check the difference between your emotions and your physical sensations, or feelings… Dr. Tim said that 3 years ago, he felt very rarely triggered…but he noticed that he would sometimes keep thinking about it days later… do a worksheet…one may be in denial and apathy rather than peace. We are all “still in process.” He referred to a blog talk show where it was him going through it in August, 2014. Be honest… |

Miracle Monday! michael directed the audience to the michael ryce YouTube channel and watch “What Is The World?” He also mentioned the CIA stating that the perceptual mind constructs reality. The world we think we see is between our ears and is what needs forgiveness. Yet we deny and blame others for what we are feeling. Dr. Tim described the worksheet he assisted Jill process through on June 30th. One in the chatroom said they used to tell their kids to not play the blame game and one day their youngest asked “can we play the blame game now?” (cute) Then they ask “can you forgive another even if they do not want forgiveness?” and michael explains the difference between forgiving and pardoning. Caller Michele, blamed another then when she saw her part she felt guilt and disgust. She did not see it as blame, she thought she simply noticed they had pain and tried to fix it. michael explains “you made me” and a child making up files on “I’m a failure, it’s my fault, I’m to blame, it’s hopeless and I’m helpless” when these files are resonated people want to leave. There is a subtle eay blame shows up in the world. Maybe don’t use the word “blame or fault” but if you thought “If they would just be different then I’d be OK and life would be better.” That is blame. She also questioned “What does Love feel like?” discussion of the newborn. In each case of “I wish that were different?” there is a goal to be cancelled. Michele shared a dream about being controlled and it brought up fear. michael offered that is probably her next piece of work – fear about being controlled. She identified that her goal would be for them to support her, help her, lift her up. |

“Those who look without dream, those who look within awaken.” Carl Jung We have to change cause not effect. michael shares working with a gentleman this morning who had pain in his back, it moved to his stomach, then further up his back. It is energy not physical. Must be willing to look within at what energy is manifesting physically. Hostility and Fear are markers telling one they are stuck in a dream. This gentleman touched into being a newborn, premie, in an incubator in the hospital and not being touched for 2 weeks. As he remembered that his sister called from Chicago and left a message of how mad she was that he took their mother away from her when he was born. They had never discussed this and now 50 years later at the same instance he was dealing with this event she calls about the same thing. We are connected. michael mentions being in a restaurant that had 6 televisions, each on different channels, and music going at the same time. Distraction. People need to stop and quiet their mind to go inside. Dr Tim said these kind of events happen regularly – evidence of the synchronicity. They happen all the time but we need to slow down to actually notice they happened. Tim has seen the pattern of getting caught up in “blame” – after bringing them back to themself several times they realized the hook had to do with them not dismantling the upset they had with themselves for doing the same behavior in the past. I can focus on me, unpack my own trunks, have fewer bags of garbage. Caller Roma, former won’t do the work, says it is too intellectual. Is it harder for men to do this work? Could it be he doesn’t want a solution? She sees a pattern of her life of getting involved with people who are suicidal. michael offered his experience of Christa’s birth and how she was not loving him but was LOVE. Active present love dissolves trauma. We pull people in who have issues matching ours. At one time he rescued her. michael offered he held the space for you for a time and now you can hold the space for him (even though not in his space). Mindshifter: “It is safe and healing and I stay connected to my being, love, when people threaten or actually commit suicide.” Tracey texted, asking for further explanation of a MindShifter. |

Recovery Wednesday! michael speaks to blaming something outside ourself for what is going on inside (CoDependence relationship). If the disintegrative energies that are held inside are not forgiven then one will turn to some addiction to make the pain “go away.” It does not really go away but one is anesthesized to feeling. Einstein, “If you think you are separated from the rest of humanity then you are living in an obsticle delusion.” michael explains the Power Person exchange (relationship substitution), one ends up with two potential beings (made of love) in relationship and then four non-being people (the ‘body’ in the mind of the non-being self and the non-being partner in each of their minds). Then one day one person violates a goal that the other held for their power person (i.e. to use gentle hands) and the image in the mind is replaced (dressed in the dynamics of) by the power person. Before long the reverse happens and the substitution happens for the other person….now both are back in relationship with their PP not their partner. Recovery in relationship is two people working toward being in relationship with BEINGS not bodies. Movie: Avatar “I see you” michael shares about the video he posted on Facebook about a 100 year old woman sitting on the street selling berries and a young man comes by and offers her money even though she doesn’t have any more berries … it is such a sweet space of real human life. Recover human life – who we are. Dr Tim shared about their support group last evening. Watching the first hour of the 2014 Why Again workshop in Woodstock. So many were dealing with so many issues and this tool offers the solution to all. Caller Gail, energy exchanged when intercoursed with another. This was the topic in class this morning. Jeanie explains the taking on of the DNA of the people one intercourses with and the creation of the blood being impure, also the energy that is taken on. Need to be conscious of what we take on. The genetics, DNA, can be changed. Doing the work, letting go what does not belong in us, increasing vitality and throwing the energy off. “All the Above” Continued conversation about changing your mind to change your world. Question: What if my partner won’t do the work? Staying connected to BEING and then regardless of what happens in your space you remain at peace instead of being triggered. |

Caller Terri from NC, what’s the difference of the Replicate Mind and Personal Code? michael offered the replicate mind is from CBM and it plays out whatever is in it, replicates the skills it has to make the skill useful and necessary. Such as if you hold that war is required then there will always be a group found somewhere in the world to bring war on. The Personal Code is the set of rules set in the replicate mind that tells you how to behave in a given circumstance. Such as if rage is in my PC whenever the circumstance calls for it to relieve stress then when stress (taught by Power Person) is up it does not matter if I swear I will never do it again, it will come forward against my will. They are close but different. Caller Michele from Canada. A notice from the insurance company brought up her fear and she wants to be centered. michael assists her through identifying her goal. Michele took some stuff over to her daughter and felt her daughter and mom and dad all took turns taking a shot at her. She couldn’t thik fast enough to say anything. The daughter lives with Michele’s parents so she has learned the same Power Person dynamics. Michele took on the blame and fault for the daughter’s issues and rage. Caller Cidy in Chicago. Just returned from a trip and came home and has a real sense of sadnes that vacation is over and can remember this from being a teen too. How can I process this sadness of this wonderful time coming to an end? michael offered that what might be up for healing is “what is happening at home that resonates such sadness?” Look at internal trigger, and what do you need to do to create the excitement from being (love) that disconnects when you get home? It may not still be there at your home but from your past. Her mom remarried and she did not get along with her step-dad and would go on trips with her grandma. But also she works so much she doesn’t go outside and the entire vacation was outside. How do “rules squash your spirit”? rules of step-dad but also rules from work. Change external circumstance but also dissolve (forgive) from inside the sadness, loss, grief, etc. Dr Tim shared how well the practice of the tools works. Last night there was a parent of a client who said something to him that in the past would have triggered him into defense but he just chuckled and recognized it as fear on the parent’s part. Just keep on practicing…recognize the enotion, the goal, the thought behind it and cancel and breathe. |

After a brief intro to the intensives and events going on here at HeartLand, Chuck explained what is happening for the ONE (Ozark Neighborly Exchange) Group and the crops at the top of the hill here in Theodosia, MO (Roma’s notes follow) One can only have a direct experience of Truth. The thoughts (mind energy) behind our words create the feelings… Rage…own it. Collapse the affect of rage and be willing to heal the world of pain beneath the rage. We carry past generations of these feelings in our DNA…our genes…generations of rage and pain. Our forgiveness process weakens the brain cells of rage. Roma called in and shared her earliest memory of rage…being trapped by her older sister behind doorway to their Mother’s room and smashed between the door and the wall. It was very frightening for little Roma to experience her sister’s hatred and rage. Roma feared for her life. michael encourages her to breathe into the grief…it releases…and then to bring Love Present. |

Most people avoid stress by Blockage of Truth. When meaning of words are changed then the consept is lost. Forgiveness in the Aramaic is not letting others off the hook but accessing the root of the stresses within ourself and removing them. Exposed to love and there is an automatic dissolution. Dr Tim offered to do worksheets to practice the skill and develop the muscle ahead of time instead of waiting until the issue is in your face. To be a master at something you have to ‘master’ the skill with engagement and practice. Caller Roma, through another layer. Remembers michael saying start with the small stuff. Progress in her work, participating in the radio shows, people say they see a difference in me. Thank you for the quality of facilitation in the process. Asked about “Love” not being a verb but is what we are (a noun). michael talks about the experience of active Love – words can only describe our perception of things. Holding a newborn will resonate the Love in you and then you experience that. That part is always there, it gets an overlay of hostility and fear but the essence remains. Roma asks about the distinction of “Loving” someone and “Being in Love” with them and shares an experience she had with a former husband who left for another woman. How do you keep a commitment to one woman (or man)? michael responds it is not loving another – not what we do. The word switch and then we attempt to achieve something that is unachievable. I realize who I am (Love) instead of running from bed to bed (sensations / satiations) trying to find a feeling. There is resonance on a being level, soul level as well as physical level and the matching bags of garbage. Then michael explains responsibility communication, file folder effect, and locking in energies of hate and fear into our image of the partner. In a real committed relationship we are attracted through being and are willing to work through our matching bags of garbage. Create eternal holy relationship which empowers you to go to the deepest part that needs healing. When we trigger each other we either say “that made me” (blame, denial) or “that brought this up in me” (responsibility). When we remove what doesn’t belong we will heal physically, mentally emotionally and spiritually. Roma asked about eternal life. michael said all death is self inflicted nonsense (sin). Cells die when disintegrative (sin) energies are put in them – enough cells die and the body dies. When we heal our cells we can go back to health and we can achieve eternal life. Not talking about immortality (I’m mortal) which is a claim for death. In history there are records showing people lived 700, 800, 900 years of age…why are we not doing that now? |

Recovery Wednesday! Go to www.whyagain.org and click on the 12-Step picture in the middle of the page and there are MP3s on forgiveness and the 12-steps, there is also a link to Want to Stop the Addiction? Where to Start. The theme for this intensive is Love for Truth challenges. Blockage of Truth is an addiction to lower stress. Example: if one has a bias (perhaps from when they were a child) that they have to do everything perfect or they “get in trouble,” they must prove anything that goes wrong is someone else’s fault not theirs. They block truth to their part in the story in order to lower the stress that they might be in trouble. ACIM says be aware of the distorting power of the way you want it to be. Cancel the goal and see the truth. We want people to own the truth and if it is not pretty then forgive it. Dr Tim shared about last night’s support group. Caller Gail, 12-steps is about removing Blockage of Truth and recovering. Second step we come to believe that a power greater than ourself will restore us to sanity. The opposite is insanity which Einstein says is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. So sanity is doing something different to get a different result. michael offered that we are created in the image of God and God is Love – so sanity is living as the Love you were designed to be. Recovery of the truth of who we are. Gail shared an experience she had of anger coming up when around a particular person. She recognizes the anger inside and drilled down to find where the energy was created. She reflected on her mother dying and how her step-father behaved during that time. She feels she is at an end and can’t drill further. Hold the space that you can look at this person through eyes of love and offer them support instead of hate. (Can be done, example of a man in the intensive who was able to process through a major with his sister yesterday morning and when he did a worksheet on her he felt no punishment thoughts towards her any more.) Realizes she is coming to an intensive and so stuff is opening.

michael and Dr Tim converse about the simplicity of the tools and the gift of passing it on. Remember, you get the original and the other person gets the carbon copy. Start a Support Group if you don’t have one near you. Create your community. Caller Michele, there are feelings that come up with worksheets but can’t uncover what the thought or memory is – perhaps it is hidden or unconscious? michael offered the vitality meter and being able to face and deal with only what you are vital enough to handle. Don’t do the deep dark search, just walk along and deal with what is in your face at the time and when you are vital enough to handle something it will be there. Not necessary to do a search for it. Michele shared her experience with her daughter. The daughter was using inappropriate language and Michele told her that she was better than that and she did not need to use that language. The daughter was taken aback by her speech and asked about the worksheets and then suggested that Grandpa might need this work. Caller Terri from NC, talking about vitality. The definition is exuberant physical and mental strength and vigor. I don’t like it because it’s a roller coaster with the vitality comes all kinds of junk. michael offered that we deal with it one way or the other. We can lock it down and not look at it and it will manifest in our diseases. Or we can willingly look, capture the negative and remove them, the cells will not degenerate and age. It is not Dr. Feelgood but on the otherside is freedom for the cells and we are more vital and awake. The culture teaches us to shut it down. Dr Tim said he has seen people becoming aware of their drug of choice and the challenge to not return to the drug to keep from feeling. If they stop to think – they “numb out” tonight but then feel miserable tomorrow the issue has not gone away it is just temporarily hidden and they remain stuck where they are. Guy Findley says there is no such think as bad self knowlege, pull the unconscious to conscious level and exposed to love healing just happens. Enough willingness and awareness and a healing crisis can be quick and sometimes the physiological detox can be a long term happening. michael said he has had some experiences of healing within minutes or a day and other experiences that lasted 2 years. Caller Julie from Oregon, added remembering not wanting to be aware and finally asked herself, “Do I want to be uncomfortably comfortable or comfortably uncomfortable?” encourage people to let the symptoms guide snd show the way. Then she shared her uncomfort with not being in the intensive. michael supported her in facing the goal to be here and cancelling it and getting in touch with the pain underneath. She is punishing herself and feels sadness. She sees hurdles of her dog’s care, the money, the time, new students, etc. she is lying to herself about what she can or can’t have. michael suggested “Im not good enough” “I don’t deserve” “things are withheld” plus others as worksheets to do around punishment, and did you have a Power Person who lied to you? |

Discussion of “Purpose, Personal Power & Commitment” (2 hr workshop available on DVD – go to http://www.whyagain.org/index.php/en/products) and the worksheet is downloadable as a FREE PDF at http://www.whyagain.org/images/PDF/_Purpose_Worksheet_rev_Nov_2006.pdf This was a topic for Dr Tim’s group as well as here at the intensive. Caller Julie from Oregon, follow-up to yesterday’s call and in alignment with today’s topic. Yesterday she uncovered the root of not feeling deserving and she got to the point where she could say yes to what was appearig impossible. She looked for her purpose and personal code in making the choice to come to Laws of Living. She also uncovered some issues when she was 12 yrs old and coming back from vacation and was told her parents were divorcing and they were going to lose the house, it was in the month of August. She realized she had set herself up to be between choices and similar energy around her home and travelling somewhere else. She is thankful for Rukha’s guidance and insight and for the support she received yesterday. (perfect example of how the unconscious runs our life, we can bring it conscious and forgive and take back our power) Caller Roma, shared remembering being just big enough to sit up and listening to the radio and the lady was making terrible noise and I told myself when I grew up I would do it right and she did grow up to do Broadway. She also realized to sing you must do it from the heart which led her to be a minister. An inevitable path. Also, “Florence Foster Jenkins” movie with Meryl Streep about an heiress who wanted to sing and couldn’t carry a tune. Michael explained why ocassionally he might do a heavy breath on the show…it is to remind the person to breathe and sometimes something comes up for him and he needs to breathe too. Then he told we were going to do StillPoint Breathing tomorrow and shared a gentleman’s experience in a breath session. It is miraculous what the breath will do. |

ACIM Text Chapter 20 The Vision of Holiness, section IV Entering the Ark “Nothing can hurt you unless you give it the power to do so. 2 Yet <you> give power as the laws of this world interpret giving; as you give you lose. 3 It is not up to you to give power at all. 4 Power is of God, given by Him and reawakened by the Holy Spirit, Who knows that as you give you gain. 5 He gives no power to sin, and therefore it has none; nor to its results as this world sees them,–sickness and death and misery and pain. 6 These things have not occurred because the Holy Spirit sees them not, and gives no power to their seeming source. 7 Thus would He keep you free of them. 8 Being without illusion of what you are, the Holy Spirit merely gives everything to God, Who has already given and received all that is true. 9 The untrue He has neither received nor given. You may wonder how you can be at peace when, while you are in time, there is so much that must be done before the way to peace is open. 2 Perhaps this seems impossible to you. 3 But ask yourself if it is possible that God would have a plan for your salvation that does not work. 4 Once you accept His plan as the one function that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the Holy Spirit will not arrange for you without your effort. p433 5 He will go before you making straight your path, and leaving in your way no stones to trip on, and no obstacles to bar your way. 6 Nothing you need will be denied you. 7 Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away before you reach it. 8 You need take thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only purpose that you would fulfill. 9 As that was given you, so will its fulfillment be. 10 God’s guarantee will hold against all obstacles, for it rests on certainty and not contingency. 11 It rests on <you.> 12 And what can be more certain than a Son of God?” Omar & Shanti “Let Me Remember” song to end the show as there were no hands up. |

Caller Julie in Pahrump, sad about the condition of her aunt who is dying and Julie can’t travel to get to her. michael said be with your grief but look at the goal you hold around the anger or the grief or the pain – it is all about you and your goals around loss and separation, loss of ‘mother’ and abandonment – and forgive those dynamics and hold a better space for her and you. You are not angry because of what your cousin does or does not do – the anger is yours and look at what it is doing to your physiology. |

It is easy to ride high when life is fulfilling our goals, when life is NOT fulfilling our goals then real true process work can be done. Life will show us what is destroying us to give us the opportunity to heal. We think the issue is outside ourself and continue to struggle to force it to change when the solution is within. Recovery of the true being is what is needed by everyone on this planet. The things that hold the high levels of trauma scream to get our attention. We are creative beings and if we don’t like our creation then that means we have work to do and need to forgive what does not belong and take charge of the cause level instead of struggling to change the effect. Will you take the time to look within? Dr. Tim shared from their support group last night and the powerful worksheet done by one attendee. They had lots of abuse in their home as a child and this got triggered this week. She went from over the top anger to an upset level of 4 to 6. Then others gave testimonials of how this work has literally transformed their lives and their primary relationships. Gail tied some things together. Step 4 a moral inventory of ourself looking at the facts of our thinking that produced the harm. It asks is this a waste of time? We spend so much time in vengence, retaliation, resentment and the vicious cycle back and forth creating discontent and using something to bury the pain and alte how we feel. Step 10 is to continue taking inventory and making things right. Spiritual truth is that if we are disturbed it is ours. michael offered the wake-up sheet is a “no fault” process, there is nothing “wrong” with anyone it is simply taking responsibility for and removing what does not belong (forgive). If we folow the trail of what I did wrong they can fall into the enormity of the project and give up. Judgment can send people into a tailspin. Quoting David Bohm, sustained incoherence. Gail said in The Big Book says, it is easy to let up on action and sit on our laurels, we are not cured but have a daily reprieve, it is constant checking with God and His will.” Caller Julie from Ashland OR, recommends movie “Captain Fantastic” (independent film by Matt Ross) about a family that chooses to live in the wild and live off the land. Due to an unexpected event they go back into the culture and that brings in more aspects. Caller Roma, to emphasize the importance of the breath especially when emotions begin to move and dissolve, vitality goes up, the importance of breathing to release the stuck and blocked emotions as it flows. michael pointed out where healing happens is in the spontaneous breath when a piece of energy is processed out. Example of even in the movie “Inside Out” how Riley takes that cleansing breath when she is able to face and release her sadness in the presence of love. Aloha – greeting is the same as Rakhma. Forehead to forehead and breathe together the nasal air. The gateway for human life to enter the human form. Caller Tracey, encourages anyone to take the step to come to the intensive. If she can do it with all her challenges then anyone can do it. She asked Dr. Tim to explain the 5 step. 1) What emotion am I feeling, 2) what thought am I using, 3) what goal & cancel the goal 4) take a breath, what is the hidden part of my mind 5) think the most loving thought I can remember from anytime in my life and BREATHE! michael and Jeanie went to see the movie “Ben Hur” yesterday. This one ends better than the old version – it holds the space for love and healing. It includes the amends that have to be made, the forgiveness, the addiction to power and vengence and then the healing process. We want to share the lyrics to Andra Day’s song “The Only Way Out” (part of the soundtrack for Ben Hur) If you could look inside my life [Chorus] [Verse 2] [Chorus] |

Shared information and requested support during this change. Follow us, link to our podcast http://www.blogtalkradio.com/mindshiftersradio/podcast and pass the word. We are in Intensive season and the “theme” this year has been everyone has a challenge in Blockage of Truth. Your mind creates a perception and you call your lie the truth and then you can’t see the Truth. Caller Camille, question, when I am using adjectives am I in denial? michael offered denial is when we think or speak about anything or anyone outside of us as the cause of what we feel inside. When we language it as our content then it is available for change. If we put the cause outside of ourself then we can no longer change it. michael offered an explanation of a MindShifter and how it works. Life acts like a continuous mindshifter…it hones in on the lowest energy we hold and brings us the opportunity to heal our tissue, it impacts physical, spiritual, mental and emotional. Goals are stimulated by the environment too. Whatever I can’t be the presence of love for is my work. She asked, How do I respond when someone says they don’t care or it doesnt matter? michael said to address what is resonating inside self. Caller Roma, referenced a few days ago upset over an email. Had pain in appendix area which Louise Hay says is not wanting to release the past (and true, she doesn’t want to release that friendship). And pain in her chest, she has lung problems, thinks it is related to grief over the loss. michael addressed the regulatory speech of Roma saying “I don’t want to lose..” The “don’t” isn’t heard, the focus is on losing. We create based on the unconscious so you are holding loss over relationships and that is where your work is then you will shift into eternal relationships. And be aware that the grief of lost relationships has probably been in your family for generations. Caller Michele from Michigan, has a student, Taylor, from MSU in her office. Question: when she gets upset, when alone she can’t express her emotions. She won’t allow herself to cry or express emotions and feels it may be holding her back. michael explained the concept of a Power Person then asked how did it feel when your power person did not express their emotions? She would feel responsible, also leans toward wanting to fix it for her mom. michael explained the three behaviors based on level of stress and offered for her to work towards the power person dynamics and let them go. He offered suggestions for wake-up sheets around her mom and punn intended “the motherload” |
