Giving out of Abundance: Reflections on ego related terms

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to ego related terms and how the ego tries to use everything to install its reality. Its myths and magic is directed first to right-mindedness, to forgiveness, and then to the Experience of one-mindedness of the Soul where abundance is understood and becomes the natural state of the giving mind that does not need anything in return, because it rests in the certainty of already Having everything, the Every Thing. ◊

Abstractions vs. confusions: Reflections on Making Ego

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to demonstrating what we can be immensely grateful for since we experience salvation and see that we are used for this purpose. Jesus teaches in this still early stage of the Course that “everyone makes an ego for himself and one for everyone it perceives.” This is about perceptual distortions which are not abstractions, but merely confusions. He talks about “double vision”, directs the mind to be patient and guides us the remembrance that “the outcome is as certain as God.” He says further on, “Abstraction applies to knowledge. Perception is specific and therefore quite concrete.” ◊

Seeing merely a ‘larger ego’: Reflections on Soul and the Ego

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to clarifying the worth of the teacher and the learner. The ego will increase the separation anxiety and hold on to its established ‘values’, and so also “can clash in any situation” and support to see the teacher as a ‘larger ego’. Jesus – in this passage – gives you (as he talked to Bill about this) back your true worth as the holy Son of God, directing the mind in its transformation to the awareness of fear, doubt and ego-oriented teaching goals, etc. His directive is very clear: “Listen only to God!” – Who is incapable of deception as is the Soul of His Son (you, me, all of us) HE created. ◊

Never in Communication: Reflections on Soul and the Ego

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to ideas of interconnectedness of the ego with the Soul. In the teaching-learning process we are shown the importance of changing the mind’s perspectives of whatever perceived. This active conversion is a choice for an alternative thought that stands for the Soul, God’s Creation. This is so important, because “nothing from the ego can reach the Soul, and nothing from the Soul can strengthen the ego” – which cannot know. In following Jesus’ teachings you “no longer attempt to attack the ego, but only try to teach how the ego thought system has arisen” – as HE expresses it. HE will correct it very gently and lead us Home. ◊

From Fear to Be In-Spirited: Reflections on Illusions of the Ego

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to the real transformation of the human consciousness, from any expression of fear that projects the fear of God as expression of the crucifixion to the ultimate value of forgiveness and the one Reality of Love. Within the transformative undoing and uprooting actions you learn to no longer believe that you could attack and be free yourself. You understand everything comes by your own thoughts which you are willing to change. Instead of ‘clinging to the old rugged cross’ you decide to no longer embark on this last foolish journey and start to create like HIM in order to ‘copy right’ as His Authorship does. ◊

Eating of the Tree of Knowledge: Reflections on the Fall or Separation

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to clarifying once more the difference between knowledge and perception, what is of God and what is believed to be the “devil”. All of these beliefs dissolve in the Light of truth, and knowing can reveal what is eternally true, who we Are in Creation. Eating of the ‘tree of knowledge’ is explained as a symbolic expression for ‘incorporating into the self the ability for self-creation’, making an image of itself. This begin of the self-concept was ‘forbidden to eat’. Since man ate of it he made the belief in separation very real and very fearful. To feel the Love of God within us now… is the reversal and awakening from the dream of death, also now. ◊

Renouncing to Judge: Reflections on Judgement and the Authority Problem

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to learning not to judge or recognize its impossibility. Judgement always involves rejection, and is first – while mind is still in denial – believed to have no effect and attempt to solve the problem conceptually. To Know is to experience how all judgement is automatically suspended, and thus perception is replaced by recognition. In this section HE teaches us the context with the Authority problem that becomes a question of authorship in respect to you having usurped God, or accepting Him be your true Author. We realize that by being still, calling upon His Name and letting all thoughts be still and replaced; actually going Home with them. ◊

Thinking is Being: Reflections on fearless teaching

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to losing all the fear of teaching and relating in any form when learning once we know who we ARE in truth. HE clarifies in this passage that only is published in unedited and original editions what our role as teachers is when properly perceived, which is … leading oneself and others out of the ‘desert’ of conceptual thinking. Our ultimate purpose in learning is to abolish fear and follow HIM, as HE says. The purpose of this Course is simply to prepare for Knowledge. Descartes premise “I think therefore I am” came from knowing that he was there, Here and Now. This equals Thinking with Being, and coming from revelation as “I AM, therefore I think.” Anyway, it works in any way! ◊

Prerequisites for therapy: Reflections on miracle working

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to the basis of engaging with your brother in a teaching-learning, healing situation. HE shows us in 4 points the prerequisites of such situations which starts with the acceptance that it must involve recognition rather than denial…, and brings us to the understanding that none of it can affect nor hurt us. We claim instead the Grace of God given us, live by it and experience how we are released by It. Realizing that nothing has been done to “me”, but “I” have done everything to myself, opens the mind to the experience of forgiveness and love. ◊
