Peace: God’s Will for you is complete peace and joy

 

Peace is inevitable in your experience of awakening from your dream of a human existence. You cannot get peace nor have peace as a result of your ‘doing’ in the world, no matter how much effort you exert in your well-meant attempts to make this world a better place.
But you will give peace in order to have it, because you are PEACE. Peace is the bridge that everyone will cross, to leave this world behind. But peace begins within the world perceived as different, and leading from this fresh perception to the gate of Heaven and the way beyond. Peace is the answer to conflicting goals, to senseless journeys, frantic, vain pursuits, and meaningless endeavors.
This is a paragraph in the key-lesson 200 of A Course in Miracles, “There is no peace except the Peace of God.” If you have come that far and can hear that, you are entitled to know the truth that God’s Will for you is perfect happiness – complete peace without an opposite. Do you want IT now?
 
This is the crucial decision everyone must make to remember God and the Peace HE has given you. To mean you want the peace of God is to renounce all dreams. What is it you are dreaming? What makes up your world from which you seek release in peace? Are you ready to deny the ego entirely and hand your will and life over to the care of God?
The eternal are in peace and joy forever. The mortal are in conflict, competition, war and retaliation. They defend themselves, see a need to protect their little lives from the evil forces they believe are out there to terrorize them. They are vulnerable to be attacked. And because it is what they fear, they attack. They are afraid of everyone and everything, justifying their separation anxiety. They do not know of a gratitude that gives them peace. These are the human beings’ values of the world you see. Peace in the world is considered to be the interval between two wars. And this interval with its daily struggles, decisions for a better future and holding your values under control is nothing but your war against yourself. Can you look at this with me for a moment reasonably, please? What you need to understand is that the ego is insane.
The ego’s voice is a hallucination…. Hallucinations are inaccurate perception of reality…. If you do not want them on the basis of loss of peace, they will be removed from your mind for you. Every response to the ego is a call to war, and war does deprive you of peace.
The mind that accepts attack cannot love. That is because it believes it can destroy love, and therefore does not understand what love is. If it does not understand what love is, it cannot perceive itself as loving. This loses the awareness of being, induces feelings of unreality and results in utter confusion… The ingeniousness of the ego to preserve itself is enormous…
The ego cannot afford to know anything. Knowledge is total, and the ego does not believe in totality. This unbelief is its origin, and while the ego does not love you it is faithful to its own antecedents, begetting as it was begotten. Mind always reproduces as it was produced. Produced by fear, the ego reproduces fear. This is its allegiance, and this allegiance makes it treacherous to love because you are love. Love is your power, which the ego must deny. It must also deny everything this power gives you because it gives you everything. No one who has everything wants the ego. Its own maker, then, does not want it. Rejection is therefore the only decision the ego could possibly encounter, if the mind that made it knew itself. And if it recognized any part of the Sonship, it would know itself. The ego therefore opposes all appreciation, all recognition, all sane perception and all knowledge….
 
This is your mind. Reject the ego and recognize the truth of yourself Who IS Peace. As an ego the mind believes to live a little “life” in the world as a body with other bodies, believes in conflict and competition with each other and sees no other “alternative” than to find its ultimate release in death. “The earlier the better! Let’s go to war and die for each other and the nation. Then we might find some sense for our being here,” in this hell where people shoot on people out of cars and the nations prime cause for a non-violent death has become overeating. For whatever you look for in this world to feel better: relationships, having a successful job, sports activities, alcohol, smoking or drugs of any kind etc., death remains like an iron fist in your neck. How many sports idols and celebrities do you need to feel a little worthy here?
Seek peace not outside yourself to find a crumb of it in your world. Either it is all there is for you or nothing. Stop trying to find peace through analyzing and verifying your human experience. I am offering you the whole truth.
That is all the world of the ego is. Nothing. It has no meaning. It does not exist. Do not try to understand it because, if you do, you are believing that it can be understood and is therefore capable of being appreciated and loved. That would justify its existence, which cannot be justified. You cannot make the meaningless meaningful. This can only be an insane attempt.
The peace of God can never be contained…. Who recognizes it within himself must give it. The Peace of God is shining in you now and all living things. In quietness is it acknowledged universally. For what your inward vision looks upon is your perception of the universe.
The mind which means that all it wants is peace must join with other minds, for that is how peace is obtained. And when the wish for peace is genuine, the means for finding it is given, in a form each mind that seeks for it in honesty can understand.
Listen…This is Jesus speaking to you. As God sent me to you so will I send you to others. And I will go to them with you, so we can teach them peace and union. Do you not think the world needs peace as much as you do? Do you not want to give it to the world as much as you want to receive it? For unless you do, you will not receive it. If you want to have it of me, you must give it.
 
I thank you so much for receiving this. With the power of your mind you will make the decision to want only peace, because you already made it. The power of decision is your own, and with your uncompromising turning to the Light and remembering the truth, peace is all you are. You are as God created you, and there is no peace except the Peace of God. Amen.

The Miracle of the Music Man

 Almost every American is aware of “The Music Man,” Mr. Harold Hill, and his story in River City, Iowa, as it happened in 1912. If you have never seen this musical, please have a look in your local video shop and see it. I was just recently invited by the Master Teacher to see a live-performance of the Music Man in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin. What an excellent example to demonstrate a change of mind, in Harold’s case the transformation of a cunning and greedy salesman (of musical instruments and uniforms, but he himself doesn’t recognize a single note) to a loving and forgiven director of a marching community, celebrating the 4th of July.

There is an action of mind worth mentioning that turns this funny story into a miraculous happening and makes Harold a living saint: it’s called “forgiving oneself.” Harold demonstrates something so extraordinary that changes the entire continuum for everyone in River City and he becomes literally everyone’s savior, first mistrusted, judged, condemned and persecuted, but at the end allowed to step into his true mission and his own fulfillment of experience of love and joy.

  I am reminded of Jesus words to the disciples when he told them that one of them shall betray him, and tells Peter after he (Peter) tells Jesus that he would lay down his life for him that “…before the cock crows you will deny me three times.” In other words he says that even his first disciple will contribute to his persecution. And I am also reminded of the many father – son stories that start with communication problems and are acted out in punishments as result of unsolved authority problems through which particularly the son, feeling himself as a victim, comes up with all kinds of ideas how to manage the problem. What did I do differently when I was one of the world? Nothing different! Besides trying to ignore the problematic situation, running away or applying human ideas how to get rid of the problem through compromise or suffer lack of getting what I wanted and trying to cover it up with all kinds of addictions to death, I had not much to contribute to an alternative, and for sure not for THE Alternative. My entire “life” was based on condemnation. The worst as I had harmed myself was in accepting how I saw “others” treat my fellows or me in a verbal or physical abusive way of expressing their authority problem.

In the Workbook of A Course in Miracles I find in lesson 195 “Love is the way I walk in gratitude” the following confrontation:

“Your brother is your “enemy” because you see in him the rival for your peace; a plunderer who takes his joy from you, and leaves you nothing but a black despair so bitter and relentless that there is no hope remaining.  Now is vengeance all there is to wish for.  Now can you but try to bring him down to lie in death with you, as useless as yourself; as little left within his grasping fingers as in yours.”

  An enemy, a plunderer…, these were exactly my fears of my brother before I woke up from this dream of pain, suffering, loss and death. And these fear-thoughts were interwoven with guilt and arrogance. What would I do? Since I wanted to be right or left untouched, I lived for a long time ignoring the problem, or exactly as you can read it in the New Testament, in either the “Get thee behind me, devil!” or I was “turning over the tables.”

But did it solve my problem? Certainly not more than Jesus’. A new understanding of forgiveness beyond any continuation of defense or attack thoughts had to take place. What meant to me “…do not resist evil: but whosoever shall smite you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.” It has been offered to me by A Course in Miracles, Jesus Himself, and also through his Sermon on the Mount, and it was (as still is) sheer mind-blowing. I came to accept an action of mind in me that can save the world: forgiving myself! Also having utilized the 12 Step-Program by working the steps 8 & 9 and the many lessons in the Course that teach the necessity to let go of grievances and forgive in a true sense and all inclusive, I had to admit and understand that “I am doing this to myself,” and “I don’t have any use of this any longer.” And there was my choice; to continue with defending and attacking myself or simply stop, ask for help and accept the healing in my own mind and declare myself! Secondly I recognized that nothing has been done to me by anybody, and indeed there is nothing going on whatsoever in this world. It’s all an illusion and already over. Finally I could relax and see deep inside myself that nothing is or ever can threaten me, an that it’s impossible that I be affected by a dream-image that has no real cause, thus understanding that the introductory sentence in the Course is true, stating “Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists.” I also came across a paragraph in the Workbook lesson 198 “Only my condemnation injures me” that I acknowledge with much gratitude:

“Condemn and you are made a prisoner.  Forgive and you are freed.  Such is the law that rules perception.  It is not a law that knowledge understands, for freedom is a part of knowledge.  To condemn is thus impossible in truth.  What seems to be its influence and its effects have not occurred at all.  Yet must we deal with them a while as if they had.  Illusion makes illusion. Except one. Forgiveness is illusion that is answer to the rest.

       Forgiveness sweeps all other dreams away, and though it is itself a dream, it breeds no others.  All illusions save this one must multiply a thousand fold.  But this is where illusions end.  Forgiveness is the end of dreams, because it is a dream of waking.  It is not itself the truth.  Yet does it point to where the truth must be, and gives direction with the certainty of God Himself.  It is a dream in which the Son of God awakens to his Self and to his Father, knowing They are one.”

  I love to hear these words as I love to teach them. Yes, “forgive and you are freed,” because that’s how God remembers His Son Who I am; complete, whole and healed. The Love that moved Harold and made him the “Music Man” and let him love reflected his action of forgiving himself. He just allowed to be loved by sweet Marion whom he adored and all channels opened in him and he became a vessel to extend love in the truest sense. Thus he could forgive everyone who wished him bad. And finally he accepted to step into an assignment he always dreamed of but had shut it out in self-pity and feeling worthless or unable to do the job.

“Forgiveness is the only road that leads out of disaster, past all suffering, and finally away from death.  How could there be another way, when this one is the plan of God Himself?  And why would you oppose it, quarrel with it, seek to find a thousand ways in which it must be wrong; a thousand other possibilities?

       Is it not wiser to be glad you hold the answer to your problems in your hand? Is it not more intelligent to thank the One Who gives salvation, and accept His gift with gratitude? And is it not a kindness to yourself to hear His Voice and learn the simple lessons He would teach, instead of trying to dismiss His words, and substitute your own in place of His?

       His words will work.  His words will save.  His words contain all hope, all blessing and all joy that ever can be found upon this earth.  His words are born in God, and come to you with Heaven’s love upon them.”

Finally, now, we have become God dependent and don’t care about the form anymore because we know that the solution is not revealed by protecting a form, and because we realize, one by one, that by extending the Light of Heaven all forms work perfectly, because the miracle works perfectly through us, each and everyone. And I am just a vessel for the miracle or say a miracle myself, but the Power comes from God Himself given me, His only Son, on earth as it is in Heaven. Amen.

  I love you so much and want to share this Holy Instant of release with you. Of course. I have forgiven myself and can now love you freely without holding onto any identities and limited meanings. We are one, and go Home as this One Self no matter if you agree with me or not. Thank You, God. Thank you, my brother in Light. All conflict is truly over.

I am responsible for what I see because the solution is in me

Here is my entire exposée! But finally here also is my final action of mind.

It is not about denying any personal experience or identity except denying this long justified denial in its entirety, which is the same as me finally taking responsibility.

The fact is: I am the maker of the world I see and what constitutes its thought system. The attacking and murdering figures in this world of pain, sickness, suffering and death, all memories resulting from fear believed to be real and stored carefully in all levels of the mind where the identification with bodies and idols are held, a universe of separate entities etc. as well as billions of galaxies coming seemingly into existence and disappearing again: they all are nothing other than my own past “creations,” past images in my mind that really are no longer here to be seen. They are of my own making, having impossibly attempted to find God by myself. They are entirely meaningless since they are only in my own mind, and all `private´ thoughts of which I could be – and am aware of are meaningless, because I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts. Indeed there are no private thoughts, if salvation is understood as a possibility at all. All I want is to leave this impossible world I made up and experience the undoing of it in the admission that I tried through -out time to replace Reality, the thoughts I think with God, with illusions I made up, but luckily could not succeed.

And the joke of the universe is that God does not know about my past illusionary thoughts because `God did not create a meaningless world´ (Lesson 14 from The Workbook of ACIM); I did! 

`A meaningless world engenders fear´ (Lesson 13) because I cannot depend on it entirely and it offers me no ground for trust. There is no safety and no hope for me in this world because only chaos rules everywhere and the insanity of the ego dominates it. Insane thoughts are upsetting me. `I am upset because I see what is not there´(Lesson 6); once again I have replaced Reality with illusions I made up. I have given them reality and thus regard reality as an illusion. In such a world there is no God, but `What I see is a form of vengeance´ (Lesson 22), a self-defense and a picture of attack on everything by everything, followed by counter-attacks and ongoing conflicts and war between this `me´ and those held in separation and outward projected images of myself. This is what death is. This is the instant of separation, the only problem. Right there, in a vividly experienced moment of total devastation, is also the solution available… neither anywhere outside myself, nor in anybody else, but in me where the problem had to be exposed. Therefore it also must be a miracle that re-aligns me in that Holy Instant with the Light of God. Here-in lies my salvation.

`The Salvation of the world depends on me´ (Lesson 186): … It unites all wills on earth in Heaven´s plan to save the world, restoring it to Heaven´s Peace. Let us not fight our function. We did not establish it…All it says is that your Father still remembers you, and offers you the perfect trust He holds in you who are His Son.

After experiencing this I could not (and cannot) not-give it away. So, stand up with me together, extend HIS message and let us declare now: “Yes, its all me, I am responsible for what I see and I WILL it be undone by accepting the Atonement for myself and trust in the Power of  the Holy Spirit, the Love of God given to His only Son. AMEN.”

  Come and share your Experience of salvation and Freedom with the Master Teacher of A Course in Miracles and everyone at the Miracles Healing Center in Wisconsin Dells between July 4 – 8, 2007. For further information go to www.miracleshealingcenter.com

The Privilege to Forgive myself

Today’s lesson teaches very clearly the necessity to forgive. “My mind holds only what I think with God. 121: Forgiveness is the key to happiness. 122: Forgiveness offers everything I want.” I want everything which is God. And happiness without an opposite is revealing Him by putting the key into the lock. Forgiveness is the key opening the door to happiness, and not the crucifying picture of another “me” being wrong or right. And forgiveness has indeed nothing to do with another “me”, because what’s the difference between a “me” and a “me” both seeing insanity; everyone is already me.

In lesson 121 of the Course I find the phrase, “Each unforgiving mind presents you with an opportunity to teach your own how to forgive itself.  Each one awaits release from hell through you, and turns to you imploringly for Heaven here and now.  It has no hope, but you become its hope.  And as its hope, do you become your own.”

This is a very clear statement about the singularity of my mind and the responsibility to do everything, to give everything, in order to experience forgiveness of myself. It is very clear to me that “I am the cause of what I see. No other cause there is.” I have come to know myself as “you” and everyone. So, it is no longer a question for me if I write about “me” or use the word “you.” It doesn’t make a difference because the conversion of illusory thoughts to the truth will anyway only happen in my own mind. I have no doubt that “we” are sharing one mind. I am responsible for what I see – this is the backbone of the curriculum of “a required Course,” a Course in Miracles. To forgive myself is the only hope for the unforgiven mind which is all I was and am in the moment of the conversion, and thus becomes my own hope of escape now from the hell I made up in a split moment of apparently forgetting that I didn’t make myself.

“The unforgiving mind must learn through your forgiveness that it has been saved from hell.  And as you teach salvation, you will learn.  Yet all your teaching and your learning will be not of you, but of the Teacher Who was given you to show the way to you.”

This makes it very simple and clear: The salvation of the world has already occurred through my forgiveness. I have forgiven the world, myself, and all that truly can be seen is a world that reflects that action of mind. Everything else can only be an opportunity to remember who I am in an experience of release of self-concept and leaving perception altogether which only leaves the Love of God as one and only reality. And the Teacher Who is given me shows me the way to my Self. A need to forgive “my neighbor,” someone out there as another “me” only makes sense within a belief system of split identity, within a real believed resentment that holds someone else as the cause of the problem. I already know to be the cause of “my” attack upon myself. “You” are not doing anything; in fact it’s impossible that you could do anything to me. Sin is a belief without reality, and effects can only come from a real source, a real cause, not an illusionary “me” battling against another illusionary me. Neither projection of sin to another “me” nor sarcasm will solve the problem or heal. Healing only comes by accepting the Atonement, the correction and undoing, for myself. In the action of sharing this moment of forgiveness it doesn’t matter if “you” are initiating it or “I” will offer it, because forgiveness is only true in a moment of singularly experiencing the Peace of God.

The funny thing is that it looks like as if there would be another “me” out there seeing me in an “egoic grandiosity” – as I am accused. But accusation and condemnation will not and can never heal, because it contradicts the responsibility statement. In the section “The Fear of Healing” of Chapter 27, Jesus teaches that “the sick remain accusers. They cannot forgive their brothers and themselves as well.”

That I am accused to offer conversion of my mind at the depth of the human denial of Christ’s teachings will not and cannot stop me, since there is no world. I know this “me” very well. Actually are “you” remembered by your style of sarcasm, M., and unwillingness to offer God as the solution instead of “your/myself.” Relax! It’s not of your doing, and that’s why I don’t need to forgive you! “You” haven’t done anything, and “you” have no solution either. The answer to your question “why this picture of a needy world I see (which is of my own making and does not in fact exist as such) is not changing…” is simply (as mentioned above) because it doesn’t have a real source, a real cause, and therefore can have no real effect or change. If “you” try to exert ‘all Power that is given you in heaven and on earth’ on your relationships, your world, “you” have fallen the temptation to “command that these stones be made bread.” Be not confused by sustenance of limited sources within your mind, rather “live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” We can stand as one together in the willingness to accept healing and remember the Awakening of the one dream, or “you” are yourself and believe to be separate from the rest of yourself which is truly your Self.

Thus I share His Blessings with “you” who is myself with words out of this most valuable chapter called “the Healing of the Dream” where it becomes very clear what action of mind needs to be extended by the Son of God in order to reason to forgiveness:

“He holds not the proof of sin before his brother’s eyes. And thus he must have overlooked it and removed it from his own. Forgiveness cannot be for one and not the other. Who forgives is healed. And in his healing lies the proof that he has truly pardoned, and retains no trace of condemnation that he still would hold against himself or any living thing.

       Forgiveness is not real unless it brings a healing to your brother and yourself. You must attest his sins have no effect on you to demonstrate they are not real. How else could he be guiltless? And how could his innocence be justified unless his sins have no effect to warrant guilt? Sins are beyond forgiveness just because they would entail effects that cannot be undone and overlooked entirely. In their undoing lies the proof that they are merely errors. Let yourself be healed that you may be forgiving, offering salvation to your brother and yourself.”

I love you with all of my Self.

Give Love in all your relationships

Think about…
 
There is only one reason why you still find yourself here, in a world of apparent lack and need. You are not willing to give abundantly, and I mean everything! Just walk into your big cities of the 21st century and look around, anywhere.
You will see figures being busy to do their thing and be active in the exchange of what they think has value and a gratifying outcome for themselves to survive the next day, next week, next year or maybe decade, and perhaps take care of one or a few loved ones on their side by accumulating money as much as possible to finally die a little bit happier. This is the struggle in which you are caught up and try to escape, because you no longer can stand the fact that poverty is growing and your chances to be sucked into it are also increasing. The gap between the rich and poor gets wider and wider every day.  On which side do you locate yourself? Why is this picture of a needy world not changing, since you know that “all power is given unto you in Heaven and on earth?” Why are you not applying it in all your relationships?
You have all the right to assume that you are doing the best you can. But it’s again one thing you overlook, and it is simply this: there is no world! But there is still “you” here, trying to fix, to manage the dream in a way you think it is appropriate. I call that addiction. You will have all the right answers. But who cares, except you again? “Am I not giving once in a while so generously and know that it works because I feel well about it?” you might say. What did you think when the priests in your churches asked you to make a donation? And what is really the difference to how you feel today when you hear someone asking you to help and give something so that a Light portal, this Center or Academy you are associated with  – which is still seen in your own mind – can continue to function? How can you think that you will by-pass Jesus’ teaching, which is telling you that “To have, give all to all,” “Today I learn to give as I receive” or All that I give is given to myself”?
You cannot deny that in your contact with God everything is given you. Right!? Then why do you deny yourself by not giving everything to yourself? Jesus says in the Course (Ch 7, VI.) that…
…you are love. Love is your power, which the ego must deny. It must also deny everything this power gives you because it gives you everything. No one who has everything wants the ego. Its own maker, then, does not want it. Rejection is therefore the only decision the ego could possibly encounter, if the mind that made it knew itself. And if it recognized any part of the Sonship, it would know itself.  The ego therefore opposes all appreciation, all recognition, all sane perception and all knowledge….
 
Listen, brother! Seek happiness not outside yourself to find a crumb of it in your world! Either it is all there is for you or nothing. Stop trying to find happiness or peace through analyzing and verifying your human experience. Jesus says “If you want to have it of me, you must give it.” I am giving you the whole truth, and you will give peace and happiness in order to have it, because you are Peace. All you can give is Peace, Happiness, Love. And once you know that you have it, why would you not give everything and go Home to your father this very day. And how can you know that you have it unless you join in a Holy Instant in the Heart of God? What do you think is this fairy-tale-like-place designed for, since you have substituted it with your world of loneliness and devastation?
First, give yourself permission to your own complete transformation and let this opportunity not pass. You have waited for that for a very long time and now you can directly experience your own resurrection instead of repeating yourself in the senselessness of obsessively pursued crucifixion.
This Experience you are having right now with me in the acceptance of the Love and Joy of God will never fade away or be one of your temporary past experiences. It refines by your extension of this Light That you are, Which is nothing but the idea of “giving yourself away.” You literally “fall in love” with your Self, with HIM, Who is no-one other than Yourself, and HE shows you His boundless Love for you, how “deep the rabbit-hole goes.” There is no end as there was never a beginning. And you will learn exactly as you teach, as you will receive exactly as you give. This is the change of your blueprint of poverty in your mind you were protecting for so long and will now be your new “way-out” of the illusion paved with abundance. Take it!
 
I thank you so much for receiving this. With the power of your mind you will make the decision to want only Peace, because you already made it. The power of decision is your own, and with your uncompromising turning to the Light and remembering the truth, Happiness is all you are. You are as God created you, and there is no peace except the Peace of God. On you all salvation of the world depends. Amen and Thank You Father God.

The Quiet Answer heard in Edingburgh

 

Dear Reader of The Scotsman,

  I am myself a Miracle Healer and Teacher of God and heal through the Power of Christ Mind and the creative Power of universal Light Energy Which is the Holy Spirit. I also had the honor to meet Yvonne Powell and testify to her healing of mind and awakening in Christ as I stand up for myself now and declare you (who is reading this) as “perfect, healed and whole as God created you,” knowing that to see you healed and awake is nothing else than the reflection of my own acceptance of the Atonement for myself.

Following the conversations on this page of The Scotsman I would like to share with you a step further in order to come to a deeper sense of what is offered in this event next weekend (for details please visit http://www.themiracletimes.com/static/Newsletters.htm).

In the world I was a Veterinary Surgeon, someone you would call in your world as “sane,” right! But I was so preoccupied with past learning and opinions that I missed the most precious gift that human consciousness shares: love. And my problem was that I had solved my problem and (like a dead man) only exchanged borrowed judgments and “learned” content. But I came to Life by the Grace of God, because I asked for something completely different. I started listening to the “Quiet Answer” Which told me….

“Attempt to solve no problems but within the holy instant’s surety. For there the problem will be answered and resolved. Outside there will be no solution, for there is no answer there that could be found….
All questions asked within this world are but a way of looking, not a question asked. A question asked in hate cannot be answered, because it is an answer in itself. A double question asks and answers, both attesting the same thing in different form. The world asks but one question. It is this: "Of these illusions, which of them is true? Which ones establish peace and offer joy? And which can bring escape from all the pain of which this world is made?"….”

This is where I found myself and I had to begin anew to understand that…

“A pseudo-question has no answer. It dictates the answer even as it asks. Thus is all questioning within the world a form of propaganda for itself. Just as the body’s witnesses are but the senses from within itself, so are the answers to the questions of the world contained within the questions that are asked. Where answers represent the questions, they add nothing new and nothing has been learned! An honest question is a learning tool that asks for something that you do not know. It does not set conditions for response, but merely asks what the response should be. But no one in a conflict state is free to ask this question, for he does not want an honest answer where the conflict ends.

       Only within the holy instant can an honest question honestly be asked. And from the meaning of the question does the meaningfulness of the answer come. Here is it possible to separate your wishes from the answer, so it can be given you and also be received. The answer is provided everywhere. Yet it is only here it can be heard.”

So, ask for healing, dear friend, and receive healing by the Grace of God. This moment is called “a Holy Instant,” Where miracles are recognized. They are corrections in the mind….

“The holy instant is the interval in which the mind is still enough to hear an answer that is not entailed within the question asked. It offers something new and different from the question. How could it be answered if it but repeats itself?

       Therefore, attempt to solve no problems in a world from which the answer has been barred. But bring the problem to the only place that holds the answer lovingly for you. Here are the answers that will solve your problems because they stand apart from them, and see what can be answered; what the question is. Within the world the answers merely raise another question, though they leave the first unanswered. In the holy instant, you can bring the question to the answer, and receive the answer that was made for you.”

Welcome to your Miracle Festival in Edinburgh. Come as you are and be open for something new. Experience a Holy Instant and see for yourself. I love you and join with you in the Healing of this dream.

My Re-Birthday – What happened to me…

I received today in the afternoon birthday wishes from my brothers Martha, Ximena and Taka of the Miracle Center in Bogotá via Live Messenger. My first reaction was: What day is it? And when I was told that it is the 9th of March I had an immediate memory of that awesome and unforgettable Experience I had 17 years ago in South Mexico when I disappeared for an instant and forever in the universe, merging with everything and everyone. It changed everything, particularly me.
Then, while I was still chatting with my friends, I received a phone call and was asked if I could come and help out with a party which later came out to be a birthday party. How lucky me! To serve and give the Light of Heaven to a celebrating child in a group of noisy kids with parents was exactly what I needed today to remember what my function here is: to give and to be happy. I am extremely happy! And here is my own story what happened to me on this journey down to Central America in the year 1990, to find God. The only way, that it could possibly have happened, was that God found me! That’s the way it works…
 
I was ready to see that I needed a ‘living Master’, One Who could give me a clear reflection of myself. I started again to communicate with God and asked for help. I resumed communicating with Jesus and knew I was not alone in this journey.
All this led me to an EXPERIENCE OF ONENESS that would bring about a significant change in what I called ‘my life’ since the beginning of 1990, but really was just the beginning of my journey back Home.
This Experience did not occur for me as result of my efforts as expressed in a “spiritual-seeker-identity.” It happened by Grace. Though this Experience kept me for weeks in a kind of a shifted perception, once I was back in my home country, Austria, I thought that I would have to look some more. Though I never doubted this Experience to be a real one, I was still looking for a teaching I could apply in daily situations to stay in a certainty and constancy of truth.
The first key-event in which I had an Experience of oneness and underwent consciously the death of the body and all the fear in me took place just under the ruins of the Maya-Pyramids in Palenque, Mexico, in the beginning of March 1990, the 9th. Some notes I wrote in my diary about this Experience follow here:
All forms were seen in their center from radiant to bright-shining to yellow-green. At the circumference the colors turned into the corresponding rainbow-colors…. Countless recognitions occurred for me within the infinity of the universe which opened my eyes to seeing the falsity of my insane world and the meaninglessness of everything.
I called on my friend and felt that I didn’t differ from her but was One with her; in fact was her. I stared out to the stars and recognized, though they had no meaning, the vastness of the universe. I could only think of
my world by making utmost effort and saw that it had no meaning either. A new thinking took place; a Being there-in. I became the event myself, each moment anew, and had the knowledge that there is only this
moment. I looked around and whatever I saw I recognized as ALIVE, as a living Being, a living Spirit, as pure Light. It became clear to me that I was not separate from anything, but that we are all ONE, all one Divine Consciousness, one Singular Creative Power, just appearing as some dream figures that are simultaneously converted to the Light That they really are. Thus I was greeting stars, clouds, trees, bushes, humans and grass blades in the same manner and showed them my humility, saying “Thank you” to all of them for allowing me to be with them, to be able to meet them once more and leave this place together forever….
I thought I had understood everything there is to understand and underwent the Experience that up to this moment I called ‘death’. Instantly I knew that there is NO death, but that God and Love is in me and lasts eternally. It revealed to me how great LOVE can be in me and that It IS THE MOST IMPORTANT and makes the only sense in “my life.” I was grateful and clear that everything will show up here for my
salvation, in this moment, and reveal itself as what I am and what I had decided for. Time was clearly seen as non-existent. I found myself only NOW as all there is, happening spontaneously and simultaneously.
Neither was there space in a time reference, but pure Spaciousness as the experience of extension of that Power. And I was only HERE, which had nothing to do with a location or manifestation. In fact all manifestation was recognized as nothing in this Light.
I could not feel any heartbeat and didn’t know anymore if I was physically dead or from a medical standpoint, defined as ‘alive’. I thought I was dead but was still the Soul which is, as being the life essence, also where a body is experienced, but not confined to it. I experienced myself in communication with everything and everybody, all of Self, whatsoever came to me as a thought-form into my mind. At the same time I felt every single hair touching the face when I was shaking the head.
But I was also amazed how much I found myself being able to love all the beings that were around me. It had nothing to do with the body.
Suddenly a feeling of panic struck me that I would not be able to get out of this world anymore and would be at the mercy of the “dark night” and the force of darkness and death, lying like dead in a coffin, this physical world, covered by clouds or a blanket instead of the wooden cover. That was how it felt. Not to be able to experience anymore the light of the daytime nor to realize what I considered a fulfillment of my purpose here brought about an incredible fear and terror.
Everything moved like a cyclone toward its center where insanity seemed to be. This was the fear: to become insane, to die, to be nothing. It felt like being on the razor’s edge. In spite of all of this I was always myself, and I put my hands on my stomach and heart and spoke to myself: “I love you (and thought of my friend and surprisingly of Lao Tsu), I love life, I keep with God, with love, with meditation….” For the first time I felt my need to love and only love. I realized the unimportance and meaninglessness of my so-long-defended worldly existence. I recognized and accepted my true purpose for being here; to love all of myself including myself as my Self. Nothing else.
I had a look at my toes and they looked so pale and shrunken and I knew that this body had NOTHING to do with me. I was not able to die. What was left of this re-birth was GRATITUDE, infinite gratitude towards all of Creation, though everything I could see and experience I knew was and is my Self….
These revelations were not only an immense enrichment, but contain for me an essential and personal Experience of Oneness with all the universe and the recognition that THERE IS NO DEATH. Since then I could not doubt anymore the truth that there is only ONE Singular Reality because I could experience It myself.

Resurrection: Transformation of darkness to the Light

Resurrection means that I have to make a physical appearance with a full memory of my true Identity. For the human consciousness this is a complete impossibility. In this moment of finding myself in a body and having all kinds of perceptions – it feels quite weird – I can only ask God for help to get me out of this impossible condition and to be shown of more of His Light, since “I am the Light of the world.”

  I can use (as e.g.) music to move body-energy again into rhythm (energetic openly flowing) and can as well (by a conscious decision) determine not to have any use of it (in energetic phenomena) anymore. But there will always be a prerequisite of willingness to allow an undoing of illusory thoughts to occur (which are the causing thoughts of any physical impulse) and to re-cognize my true identity, the Light of God in me, as an uninterrupted communication with HIM.

  Since there is no total release in the observation of sensations (thought forms) and I am also no longer afraid of any fear thoughts in my mind, I literally `step´ with my whole Beingness into these temporarily arising sensations (which are also conceptually understood as “darkness”) and experience for a moment as what I associated with and defined myself in the past: to be an effect of fear and terror, all possible separation from my Source.

By remembering that I (as a conceptual human consciousness with all these past flaws) cannot restore myself to the one singular Reality, I have to let go of all efforts on my part and ask God (Who already is in my mind) for help and be ready to join, re-establish a reunion with the Mind of God Where the Light is. The conversion of darkness to Light can never occur in the isolation of a “private” mind or the belief in withdrawal from my brothers.

As soon as I do not hold on to grievances or self-righteous thoughts in my mind (which in truth is impossible to have) I instantly experience the release and God’s Presence in me. And there is only for a moment this sensation somewhere before all body-sensations disappear into the nothing-ness that they really are. The communication with the Light, with God, is thus restored as it remained unchanged and unchangeable throughout all my attempts to find it again, somewhere out there, in you, in someone else.

Only this Experience of Light is real and of value, and nothing else. Nothing is outside of my mind. There is no world. I was simply ready and willing to literally become the fear, or whatsoever arising perception, and have physically experienced its non-existence – as I do now. The only existence of the Light is revealed to me by my real thoughts that are one with God. It has been given me by God and therefore I can shine this Light and heal in the midst of finding myself in my own denial, discovering IT to be already everywhere as the singular Creative Reality. Here is the great Gig in the pie: My Identity as being the Light of the world doesn’t depend on my perception at all. Am I not a lucky man? Thank you!

  This is a description and recognition of my countless personal experiences of physical transformation, bringing along the unchangeable reunion with God, literally offering me to live in the Resurrection by extending the truth about me. What is the truth? That… I am not a body! That… I am free! The truth is that this is a dream and it will never be real, and that I am the cause of the dream, and this cause has no reality or existence whatsoever. Jesus expresses it in A Course in Miracles in one sentence of a lesson this way: The world I see has nothing to do with reality. It is of my own making, and it does not exist.

  All that is needed is my willingness to undergo a process which is indeed a single moment of undoing of fear in my mind, my uncompromising `yes´ to change my mind about all self-concepts (about myself and everyone and everything in this world) and to experience this Holy Instant where the truth is revealed.

As soon as you find interest in such transformational experiences for yourself, a true Reverence from outside-your-frame will appear in your dream sequence as a Teacher of God, offering you your Way-Out, showing you your need of a required Course in Miracles. It usually starts with having an immediate release and experience of the Light, simply by proximity, and doing the first 50 lessons of the Workbook of A Course in Miracles.

  This here, where you find yourself at this moment in the dream sequence, is a place of transition for you as well as me that offers us together everything to experience our former made decision, to go Home and be free and one with Our Father in Heaven, as completed.

It is a gift (given us by God) to be able to recognize now that you are free. It is the acceptance of Creation; that HE created His beloved Son (you, me, everyone) in His likeness, in like quality of love and perfection – as He is. The singular Truth does not need further explanations, since there is nothing outside of It. Descriptions and explanations are solely a testimony how thoughts are processed and let go so that true communication can be restored. Nevertheless it is expressed in the trust I have for my brothers who are with me in this awesome post-resurrection scene that shows me nothing else than the fact that I am the savior of the world by seeing the Christ in my brother, in you, in the “funny” guy literally standing next to me. Thank you for joining me in the resurrection and seeing that the illusion of the crucifixion is over and doesn’t serve us any longer.

  Join with Your resurrected Self in an awesome upcoming Event between April 1 – 8, 2007 (Palm Sunday through Easter Sunday) at the Miracles Healing Center in Wisconsin Dells, USA. The Master Teacher of A Course in Miracles and Teachers of God invite you to experience the Passsion of your Resurrection.
” Come, be freed of this burden of fear and self-doubt that you thought was a necessary and inescapable part of your existence. Come and free yourself that the world may be free. Come now to this celebration, you who are heavy-laden. We invite you to experience the incomparable resurrecting power of love emanating from this ever-expanding circle of Atonement.” (The Master Teacher)

The True Teacher – ACIM Teachers Meet at Conference in S.F., CA

“The True Teaching – An Inevitable Memory Of Your Own Experience“

A true Teacher offers no teaching in particular! He is all the teaching there is. This is the truth. Any meaning other than this is preaching and `selling´ concepts, not appreciating what is right now happening: the miracle that is all around us and inspires the revelation of God’s Grace. This “living in the resurrection” is the curriculum of a required Course, A Course in Miracles. What else is it you want?

It is no-one other than you who has chosen and determined the situation that somehow God’s Voice, as the Awakened Consciousness in your brother, speaks to you in a language you are able to understand. But always remember: HE chose you to be His extension as you chose the Alternative over separation. What luck to see and meet Him in your dream! So I ask you to “stand still” and be silent for a moment and listen! There is nothing to fear.

This is how you are touched by His Grace and make yourself “prepared” to hear His Voice. Thus communication with God is re-installed. You are literally on “Highest Alert.” HE will teach through you. This Experience you are having right now will never fade away or be one of your temporary past experiences. It refines Itself by your extension of this Light That you are, Which is the idea of “giving yourself away.” You literally “fall in love” with HIM, Who is your Self, and HE shows you His boundless Love for you, how “deep the rabbit-hole goes.” There is no end as there was never a beginning. And you will learn exactly as you teach. But to “teach” the world conceptually and maintain a human condition in separation is teaching nothing but despair and death. It is solely an attempt to find a solution by educating your dream figures – who are but yourself – in something they are not.

If you believe that you live here in the world: this is what death is. We have come here to this “dream-earth” to die, and only in this realization we are beginning to live now. His Love extends to us, and to experience the truth of This only, is to recognize Life. Thus we are liberated together from the imagined “wheel of birth and death” because we recognized that we had enough of the suffering in these temporary states. Conceptual approaches, offered by various “New-Age-prophets” and psychic PhDs and MDs, attempting to prolong the `life´ of this pile of dust and water, are nothing but a slight cough in the universe. Who wants to stay here?! In this speck of mud, doing nothing other than spinning around its axis in circles?! You can invest your millions right now for a singular purpose, and your reward from Heaven simply is the recognition: “I am NOT a body. I am Spirit.”

You are Eternal Life, infinite Creative Thought, Creative Power, God Consciousness, one Singular Reality, … without opposite!  IT cannot be seen by the body’s eyes, or held as a feeling, perceived or examined in any human way; you are It and have It forever by giving It to your brothers who are your Self!

If you have any doubts, ask for help and trace any sense of “I” back to that Experience by integrating everything and including yourself in this Light conversion, and you cannot not-see your own Reality in your brother, in any image of your mind. Thus you but recognize your Self. This is your invitation for this very particular conference. Thank you for your showing up at A Course in Miracles Conference in San Francisco, CA, – Febr. 23-25, 2007, and sharing your experience with The Master Teacher and everyone (Please visit for details of registration: http://www.miracles-course.org/Miracles5_2007.html , also visit us at  http://www.themiracletimes.com/ACIMI/ACIM2007Conference.htm ). Your showing up is all that ever was asked of you. The Master Teacher of A Course in Miracles who will be there with many other representatives of your own resurrection, welcomes you with Love and Light. Thank you for your determination to express what you really want and your perseverance to listen, learn and do. Welcome Home! I love you. Are you ready for this?!

 

Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the Peace of God. 

There is nothing to fear.
