Beyond perception-(2): Reflections on the correction of symbols

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to the correction of symbols which is taking place at any time so that the Soul’s true functions – which are knowing, loving and creating – can be recognized and extended. Coming from the understanding that bodies are but symbols, and that Love needs no symbols in order to be true, HE teaches that Forgiveness is the healing of the perception of symbols. All that this teaching indicates is: “Do not perceive yourself in different lights. Know Yourself in the One Light, where the miracle which is you is perfectly clear.” ◊

Beyond perception: Reflections on the Soul’s true functions

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to the Soul’s true functions which are knowing, loving and creating. HE teaches in this section the difference between “creating” and “making” which determines the outcome of how it is understood what ministry we serve. It is a direct demonstration of our bringing of the message, as “bringers of the Word.” We are directed to and shown Knowledge which is beyond perception. We remember the union with HIM, the joining of Father and Son through the Voice that speaks for God. ◊

Where perception is meaningless: Reflections on Knowledge

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to the will-power that is of the Soul and how the mind willed the Separation rather than to know. Jesus uses the example of Freud to show us to not stay on the levels of perception. When mind created its own levels where perception and body identity started it still could not entirely separate from the Soul since its will-power was and still is of It. HE is looking in this section at terms like the superconscious which knows and the unconscious and shares what it truly means to be under the “chosen ones”. ◊

Consciousness – domain of the Ego: Reflections on Perception

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to the ability to perceive in terms of right-mindedness and one-mindedness. All these attributes are part of what we understand parts of consciousness. In many teachings of the world consciousness is understood as the highest state of mind humans can evolve into, but Jesus clarifies that “consciousness is correctly understood as the domain of the ego,” and that the “ego is a wrong-minded attempt to perceive yourself as you wish to be, rather than as you are.” This change of perception and the alignment of the mind to the truth is healing as salvation. ◊

From Love to Certainty: Reflections on Perception vs. Knowledge

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to coming from perception and affirming the truth in Knowledge. The teaching makes it very clear that fear and love are still perceptions and therefore cannot ‘produce’ certainty although the is the result of misperception, and the other of true or right perception. True perception is the basis for Knowledge, but to Know Thyself is the timeless recognition of Self. Only when we Know our Brother can we know God. He brings all these aspects together in this early section of the Text as well as the lessons. ◊

The basis is a firm commitment: Reflections on Innocent Perception

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to our decision for what we want to make a firm commitment. Two thought systems are to choose between, two realities, two experiences… everything or nothing, Light or darkness, with HIM or with the ego. We are looking at the premise that the Gifts of God are given us and are in us, and that through the means of innocent (or true) perception we learn to see not what does not exist in Reality, but always see truly and only perfection. We recognize this in our coming together. ◊

Applying Peace to yourself: Reflections on E. Cayce and psychic powers

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to develop psychic abilities and how to handle these opening communication channels. We are using the example of Edgar Cayce – as Jesus shares with us – and his clairvoyant and in trance state readings’ expressions to have a learning example in order not to repeat the same mistakes. We are directed to recognize “others” as our own perfect Self, to accept the corrective value of the Atonement for ourselves, and to apply the Peace of God to our one Self. Whatever errors were made at this time we let these past errors correct in us and acknowledge that – even in his case – no effort was wasted, since it was directed to the greater goal, to Awakening. ◊

Innocence Sees God: Reflections on Post-Resurrection

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to our living in Innocence and Grace through which the meaning of the Atonement becomes perfectly clear and apparent to us. He talks about the “lamb that taketh away the sins of the world” and “the lamb and the lion lying down together” to show us that only the Innocent can See God. In using the Lesson of the Day and reviewing what He says in the Introduction to this Third Review about what we should not forget, how much we can learn now and what Our Father’s need for us is in truth, that we share and live that Light and Peace and Joy abide in us, and that we Are as God Created Us. ◊

Nothing can destroy Truth: Reflections on Post-Resurrection

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to what we have truly received, the Gifts of God, which we are now asked to give. We are taught and trained to leave the bargaining mode of the human condition and to remember that we have been given everything and that we are only giving to ourselves. This belongs to the repertoire of a Teacher of God and Healer in the Post-Resurrection experience on the way Home to understand the true meaning of giving and thus naturally protect the Truth in the demonstration that thereby nothing can destroy the Truth. ◊

Resurrecting every moment: Reflections on Resurrection

In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles in regard to our resurrecting Experience and the ideas that are taught by Him representing this necessary recognition of not being a body, losing the illusions about it and there is no death. We are offered by Him a certainty of purpose which we are willing to fulfill, and we see Salvation as our only function here that is the borderland between truth and illusions. The Holy Spirit operates in time, reveals timelessness, and demonstrates that God is still Love, and anything that is believed to be here is not His Will. The Resurrection is our own Experience what Life truly and eternally Is, thus recognizing that the tomb is empty and all ideas around it are included and converted in us. Happy Easter! ◊
