What Does "Sin" Mean?

[su_spacer]

You are totally going to LOVE this message!

I want to explain to you what Jesus says about the True meaning of “sin”. He tells us that this word has been very misused. His definition makes much more sense than the old one. You know how it feels when you hear something and you just know, without a shadow of a doubt, that it’s the Truth? Well, this hit me like a truth train.

We’ve been taught to believe that “sin” is breaking the laws of God which results in punishment by God. The old definition says that when our behavior is less than perfect, it’s a rebellion against God and now we’re shamefully estranged from our Creator. The words sin, guilt and punishment are almost interchangeable! Some of us were even told that we are born in sin and that we are all sinners (guilt, guilt and more guilt). To top it all off, we were told that God sacrificed His son who bled on the cross to make amends for our sins.

Who could ever measure up to this? Think about it, what kind of God would require this of us?

Jesus clears up all of the confusion in A Course In Miracles and I’m going to share it with you. (I’ve included “What is Sin” from ACIM at the bottom of this message – scroll all the way down to view.)
[su_spacer]

Correct Definition

Sin means, “lack of love” and is simply a mistaken idea to be corrected.

The word Sin translates from the Greek word “hamartia”; an archery term for “missing the mark. (As in, you missed the target, take another shot. Choose again…and this time…choose from a place of Love because that’s all there is my precious Child.)

You have just forgotten who you are.

So, to sin is simply to forget. We forget who we are. We forget that Love is who we are and that Love is what created us. We are wholly and unconditionally Loved, protected and innocent.

And here’s the clincher: It feels like hell and punishment when we forget who we are. When ego tells us we must strive to be worthy and earn love based on the world’s rules. When we feel separate from God, we operate from fear and guilt. We are making our own hell. We are forgetting the Truth. We are off the mark. God isn’t punishing anyone!! EVER.

There is nothing you could do or think that would change your Father’s Love.

All we can do is fall asleep to it. Yet even while we sleep, we sleep in His Arms. Our “sins” have no real effect on our relationship with God, and so they do not exist.

The concept of punishment only comes from our ego’s perception and never, ever from God. It’s like some imaginary disease.

We can believe in the lack of Love and punishment
but we can never make it the Truth.

I’m going to share a visual tool with you that Lisa Natoli taught me about “missing the mark”. I love it because it’s so simple and real and I use it every day.

How do you know when you’re off center? What is the indicator?

You’ll know by the way you feel. Period. If you don’t feel good, you know you missed the mark. There’s your sign. You fell asleep again. No punishment and no further pain required. Simply step back in. Wake yourself up. Choose again. Shift into Love. Welcome to Heaven.

sin-2

Jesus tells us in A Course In Miracles that the body is the instrument the mind made in its efforts to deceive itself. Its purpose is to strive. We are out looking for ways to get attention because we don’t know (forgot) we are already enough simply by being a child of God. We deceive ourselves thinking we are a body and then we run around, using the body’s senses, for validation.

Woah!!! Have we missed the mark or what?

sin-3

This is what you came here to learn. You came here to remember. You’re a student in Planet Earth school. Every spot of fear and guilt is here for your learning. That’s why they call it an “awakening”.

You’re not a bad. Not even a little speck bad.

Listen to this! Jesus says we need only to remember the Truth and then all needs are satisfied, all cravings end, all hopes are finally fulfilled and fear and separation are gone. (Lesson 251) Does that sound like a mean and punishing God to you?? NO WAY!

Jesus wants us to realize that our experience of fear, guilt and lack stems from the BELIEF that we separated from Love, our Source. He helps us see that the world we are experiencing through our body’s senses is just the effect of our BELIEF in separation from Love. We are seeing illusions where Truth should be. We have distorted the world by our twisted defenses, and are now seeing what’s not there. We could never separate from Love and therefore we could never sin. The ‘life’ we think we are living is just a myth. It never happened in Truth, since nothing but our oneness in Love could ever be real. The Course does not deny that we make mistakes. It simply denies that our mistakes have any real effect.

In Lesson 101 of ACIM, Jesus also says, God’s Will for you is perfect happiness because there is no sin, and suffering is causeless. Joy is just, and pain is but the sign you have misunderstood yourself. Fear not the Will of God. But turn to it in confidence that it will set you free from all the consequences sin has wrought in feverish imagination.

sin-4

Do you feel as liberated as I do?

There is no sin. It’s all made up. What has no effect does not exist” (T-9.IV.5:5)

Creation is unchanged.

Heaven is right here for you.

What are you waiting for? How long do you want to live apart from God? How long are you going to keep yourself locked in a dark room? Come out!

Take this in: God is never going to give you more than you have right now because God has already given you everything. You don’t have to “behave” in order to get to Heaven. Heaven is right here and right now. You can rest.

Here’s more great news. You can now choose to replace these deceptive thoughts. Make a different choice and change the purpose as to what you’re going to use this body for.

Just as you have sent your senses out to reinforce a lie about who you think you are, now you can redirect those senses to report back to you and be witnesses for what is True. It’s time to keep the focus 100% on the Light that you are. And you have a guide to help you. As we learn to recognize our perceptual errors, we learn to forgive them. At the same time we are forgiving ourselves, looking past old distorted self-concepts to the Self that God created in us and as us.

As excited as I was when I learned this Truth, I still kept forgetting. I still experienced guilt and fear when I didn’t behave “perfectly” or sometimes it just felt like it was pumping through my veins for no good reason. I wanted to forgive everything and live only Love. To wake up for good. I posted sticky notes, wore a reminder bracelet, set my cell phone alarm, wrote about it in my journal, read everything I could get my mitts on, joined a study group, meditated on it and even burned my fear and guilt at a fire ceremony. LOL-Poof!

That was all helpful (and I still do most of them) but I still felt like crap and often found myself caught up in old “auto-pilot” fear thinking.

It wasn’t until I joined the Living In Purpose 6-Month Mastery Program for Miracle-Minded Thinking that I totally committed. Every single part of my life transformed. Today, I live in joy. If fear or guilt somehow sneak in, I don’t stay in it any more. I have everything. Nothing shakes me anymore. I never worry. I have no problems.

I’m 100% certain that Living In Purpose saved me thousands of years of suffering. For me, it was a real life, practical application program where I LIVED the principals every day consistently with tons of support and all the encouragement I needed. It transformed my life. This is why I work for the Teachers of God Foundation. I started as a volunteer, doing anything and everything I could, because I wanted this freedom for everyone. It has become my life’s purpose. I’m telling everybody. It’s THAT good.

It’s like the difference between hiring an expert personal trainer who walks beside you, motivates, elevates and encourages you for 6 months vs doing it alone. You don’t get lazy and slip back into old patterns. There’s also a group of people, just like you, practicing these principals right along side you and cheering you on. It’s so helpful and you make life-long friends. You get everything you need at every turn.

Before you know it, you’re activating other people around you just because you feel so good.

Section 4. What is Sin?

Sin is insanity. It is the means by which the mind is driven mad, and seeks to let illusions take the place of truth. And being mad, it sees illusions where the truth should be, and where it really is. Sin gave the body eyes, for what is there the sinless would behold? What need have they of sights or sounds or touch? What would they hear or reach to grasp? What would they sense at all? To sense is not to know. And truth can be but filled with knowledge, and with nothing else.

The body is the instrument the mind made in its efforts to deceive itself. Its purpose is to strive. Yet can the goal of striving change. And now the body serves a different aim for striving. What it seeks for now is chosen by the aim the mind has taken as replacement for the goal of self-deception. Truth can be its aim as well as lies. The senses then will seek instead for witnesses to what is true.

Sin is the home of all illusions, which but stand for things imagined, issuing from thoughts that are untrue. They are the “proof” that what has no reality is real. Sin “proves” God’s Son is evil; timelessness must have an end; eternal life must die. And God Himself has lost the Son He loves, with but corruption to complete Himself, His Will forever overcome by death, love slain by hate, and peace to be no more.

A madman’s dreams are frightening, and sin appears indeed to terrify. And yet what sin perceives is but a childish game. The Son of God may play he has become a body, prey to evil and to guilt, with but a little life that ends in death. But all the while his Father shines on him, and loves him with an everlasting Love which his pretenses cannot change at all.

How long, O Son of God, will you maintain the game of sin? Shall we not put away these sharp-edged children’s toys? How soon will you be ready to come home? Perhaps today? There is no sin. Creation is unchanged. Would you still hold return to Heaven back? How long, O holy Son of God, how long?

Father, my thanks to You for what I am; for keeping my Identity untouched and sinless, in the midst of all the thoughts of sin my foolish mind made up. And thanks to You for saving me from them. Amen.

What are you plans for tomorrow?

[su_spacer]

Want to know the absolute deadliest thought to the ego?

[su_spacer]

A healed mind does not plan.

[su_spacer]
This can be so easily misunderstood so I want to chew on it for a few minutes with you.

So, when your mind is functioning correctly, it does not plan.

A fearless, defenseless, faith-filled, God centered mind does not make plans.

Before you can accept this, you first have to admit that there’s a whole lot going on here that you and I couldn’t possibly understand. Actually, our trying to understand just gets in the way. We only see part of what’s going on in the world. Knowing this, what business do we have to plan anything?
[su_spacer]

We don’t even know what’s actually going on!

healed-mind1_2016-20-Jan

Hahahaaa! That cat is us!

[su_spacer]

A Course in Miracles says:

A healed mind does not plan. A healed mind carries out the plans that it receives through listening to wisdom that is not its own. A healed mind waits until it has been taught what should be done, and then proceeds to do it. A healed mind is secure in certainty that obstacles can not impede its progress to accomplishment of any goal that serves the greater plan established for the good of everyone.

[su_spacer]

Now, just for fun, let’s reverse that paragraph:

“An unhealed mind does plan. An unhealed mind does not carry out the plans it receives through listening to wisdom that is not its own. An unhealed mind doesn’t wait until it has been taught what should be done.”

That sinks in a little deeper, doesn’t it?

Left to our own devices, we often make decisions out of fear, guilt, lack, anger, depression and separation. It NEVER goes well. Those are clear signs of an unhealed mind.

A Course in Miracles clearly says that “all attack is self attack”… We are constantly attacking ourselves but we never see it that way. We think the attack is coming from someone else but it’s really coming from our own thoughts of fear and guilt. In Lesson 135 the Course implies that PLANNING is a form of self attack. It points out that “all defenses are a form of self attack because they make the illusion of threat real and then attempt to handle them as if they were real.” It simply asks us to look closely at what we think we’re defending, how we defend it and against what.

Planning the future is a form of defense. It foresees some threat and then tries to produce a defense against it.

“Defenses are the plans you undertake to make against the Truth.” The Truth is that we are totally safe, eternal, innocent and beloved children of an All Knowing God. The Course also says that “In our defenselessness our safety lies.” Pretty clear isn’t it?

healed-mind2_2016-20-Jan

 

Think about it. Is there fear or guilt lurking below your planning? Is there a threat underneath the plans that you are not aware of and a thought that you should do something about it?

It’s not about what you do but what you are THINKING while you do it.

Operating from a healed mind isn’t difficult to do. Please don’t tell yourself that this shift will be hard. It actually flows easily and brings such a sense of relief. Depending on yourself for nothing is quite lovely!! It’s the epitome of “no pressure”!

Remembering to pause and ask.

THAT is where we need practice.

[su_spacer]

That’s why we study. We are retraining ourselves away from knee-jerk, autopilot, fear-based doing and planning. That’s why I have sticky notes all around my house (like the one at the top of this blog post)! Truth.

We won’t really believe this until we experience it. We won’t experience it unless we try it, experiment with it and practice getting out of the way. (Insert miracles here.)

I used to be a “serial planner”. I remember when I was in labor with my daughter Victoria; I literally grabbed my mother by the shirt and said, “WE NEED A PLAN! GO FIND THE DOCTOR AND GET ME A PLAN!” Yea, there’s a soul birthing itself, through me, into time and space and I wanted details so I could be fully prepared and in charge. Good one Linda.

When I was first married to my husband John, I’d ask him on a Monday how we should best plan for the week ahead. He’d say, “Babe! Can we just play it by ear?” My response was, “Who does that? “That’s so dumb and irresponsible.”

Oh the irony.

Now, I don’t plan. I love knowing God is running my life. There is never anything to worry about. Everything always turns out perfectly. Every time.

Now, when a self planning thought creeps in from fear, I simply respond:

“I am on to you! Sorry… you don’t run this show anymore, my God Self does.”

Here is what A Course in Miracles says about how planning affects the body:

“Enslavement of the body to the plans the unhealed mind sets up to save itself must make the body sick. It is not free to be the means of helping in a plan which far exceeds its own protection and which needs its service for a little while. In this capacity is health assured. For everything the mind employs for this will function flawlessly, and with the strength that has been given it and cannot fail.”

Translation:

When I’m sick, in pain or in conflict, it’s because I’m using the body for my own plan which fearfully involves my own interests. I’m feeling lousy because I am not using my instrument for Truth. I’m not serving my purpose here which is for the good of every brother. A healed mind knows it’s only here to carry out God’s plan which involves joy and peace for everyone.

When I’m listening to the Holy Spirit and carrying out His plan, all obstacles are removed from my path. I am in a constant state of joy and peace and my body is healthy. I function “flawlessly” and can not fail. I CAN NOT FAIL!
[su_spacer]

My plan: I feel anxious and unsatisfied.

God’s plan: I feel like I’m on fire for life. I have energy. I feel healthy, awake and joyful.

[su_spacer][su_spacer]
Can you see how uncompromising this is?

So, when I’m doing all the planning, I must not believe that I will be provided for.

I’m planning based on my past and my fears and not allowing for God to come in.

I’m choosing against the Truth because I’m frightened.

It’s an old and worn out habit that I now see never worked.

Instead, you know that you don’t have to depend on yourself for anything except the adequacy to carry out the plan you are given, if only you’ll zip it and listen. Set your crazy schemes aside and listen. God is always, always, always speaking to you.

Drop the “me plan”, join with God and let His Love in with total confidence.

healed-mind4_2016-20-Jan

[su_spacer]
Jesus says we never make a plan alone. We only choose “with what you make them” meaning which friend do you plan with? Ego or the Holy Spirit? You decide. Idols or God?

Which one will you join with? (It’s one or the other and can never be both.)

Do you want your life in the hands of an insane ego or with God?

That is why we get up every morning and say:

“I will make no decisions by myself.”

And now, each moment of your life can become a meaningful encounter with the Truth.

This is the only purpose of this world.

This is the only “plan” that matters.

xoxoxo

I give thanks for you and I love you.

Everything Is Possible by Judy Morton

[su_spacer]

The future is so bright that I better wear shades!

This is my first blog article working for the Teachers of God Foundation and I’m so excited. I have shared my story a few times via our website and on a recent radio interview with Lisa, but I can’t wait to share more details about how the teachings of A Course in Miracles have changed the whole way I think.

I started to make the title of this article “Anything Is Possible” and I was talking on the phone with my friend Calico and she said forget “Anything Is Possible” – how about “Everything Is Possible” – and that just felt perfect! Thanks Calico!

I don’t want to go back too much into “My Story” because I don’t want to put too much energy towards it, but I feel it is helpful to give a quick overview so that you can see where I have been.

Just a short time ago, my life felt in a shambles. I did not think that everything was possible. I actually thought that life was so hard, that there really was not much point of going on. I know that sounds really heavy, but I seriously was contemplating ending my life. Divorce, lost my house, single mother, three kids and two of them have special needs and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! That sums it up all right!

But now I feel that the future is so bright that I better wear shades!

The most important thing I did was to change my mind, ABOUT EVERYTHING, and the first step in doing that is making a decision. Once that decision is made, the whole universe conspires to make it happen.

People talk so much about putting your faith in God, trusting and that is so true. But what also needs to happen is for us to walk into that faith, to take the action steps as if the healing has already happened, the healing of our mind.

The most powerful tool that I have learned from the course and other amazing teachings is to step into the truth, to actually get into the feeling that whatever it is has already happened.

everything is possible-pic4_jm_1.13.16

THE VIBRATORY POWER OF WORDS!

Boy has that statement been running through my veins. A short time ago I was told that the chances of my older son functioning in the “real world” were very slim, that he would most likely never graduate from high school because of his anxiety and OCD, and that maybe we should put him in some kind of an institution for awhile, and for God’s sake, he can never drive a car.

everything is possible-pic1_jm_1.13.16Not True, Not True, Not True! I made a decision, I made up my mind that he is going to graduate from high school, and one day, right at dusk, I trekked all the way out to the football field at his high school and I walked to the top of the bleachers and I sat there, and envisioned my son out on that field where they hold the graduation ceremony, I pictured him with his friends, laughing, throwing his cap up in the air. It didn’t matter that he didn’t have even one friend at the time, because I knew that if I treat this boy like he is the perfect, healed, whole, loving child of God that he is, that the truth would show up and it did!

He is a senior in high school this year, and he sent me a text last week and it said: “Mom, I am going to the winter formal with a group of friends, can you help me buy the ticket and I need something new to wear”. YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! I was totally calm and wrote him back, “OK”, and then I did the freak out happy mama dance.

Then a few days later, he came downstairs and said “Mom, I need to buy my cap and gown for graduation before the deadline”. In that exact moment, my mind jetted back to that night when I climbed the bleachers at his school.

High school graduates throwing their mortarboards in the air

This practice truly does work, and the golden key is not so much having to get into details of what you want to have happen, but to MAKE A DECISION, and then get into the feeling of what it is like now that it has ALREADY HAPPENED! To think about your state of mind in that moment of realizing your heart’s desire.

I recently made another decision about my son who has Down syndrome. He has needed dental surgery in the past – he could not just go to the dentist for a filling or a cleaning, he had to go in the hospital. I kept putting off making another appointment and the fear was creeping in and right on the way to the dentist, in the car, in the pouring rain last week, I MADE A DECISION!

I said, he is fine, he can go to dentist like anyone else, he can sit in the chair, have an exam, get x-rays, get a filling if needed and have his teeth cleaned and guess what, HE DID. His teeth are absolutely perfect, he let them take x-rays and he has not one cavity. A Crest check-up! YAY!

You see, all it takes is a second to change your mind. You can have so much fun with this. You can bring your friends in on it too. I have some friends that are prayer partners, and I have adopted a practice with them where we write emails to each other or leave voice mails “AS IF” something has already happened. It is so fun and it is so helpful, because you are consciously joining with another person in the truth of who your both are and that really does change the vibration.

everything is possible-pic3_jm_1.13.16

My favorite words now! “You’ve Got This”!!! I say it to everybody now. I recently had a friend call me in absolute terror, saying “they saw something on my test and I’m afraid I might have cancer and they want me back in two weeks for a big test”…  I sat with her on the phone and told her who she really is, the light of the world, I told her not to even mention that word again, don’t think about it, don’t research it, don’t call your friends on the phone and talk about it, act “AS IF” you are completely healthy and fine.

Then I found out her big medical test was on my birthday and I told her, that the only present I want from her is for her to call me on my birthday to confirm that everything is perfectly fine with her. Guess what, I got the birthday present I wanted! She is fine! She said that every time she went into a place of fear and wanted to start doing research about an illness, or treatment or anything like that, she just pictured herself, in the doctors office sending me a text that she is perfectly fine, and that is what she did!

In closing, I want to share one of my favorite lessons from A Course in Miracles :

Lesson 41: “God Goes With Me Wherever I Go.”

Deep within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate through you and out into the world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it will heal the mind that thought these things were real, and suffered out of its allegiance to them.

If you only remember one thing from my blog post, let it be this:

“YOU’VE GOT THIS, AND EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE”

I love you…

Judy

40 Days and Advaita by Bill Free

[su_spacer]

The 40-Day Program and Advaita: What do they have in common?

Enlightenment.

The fast track.

The train leaves today. ☺

Have you ever wondered why it seems like other people out there in India or London encounter miracle situations where people have near-death experiences, visitations by angels or beings from beyond the veil… and have a sudden Awakening… but somehow it’s unattainable for you?

You can stop that idea in its tracks right now. It’s just not true!

You are Awake or you wouldn’t be reading this post. Really!

The 40-Day Program and/or A Course in Miracles  will take you all the way home. You are, and this is just the beginning.

The wave is rising so high around the planet right now that the shift can no longer be contained. You are going to be needed to help others into the Light.

This is the time and we are being prepared. Are you ready? This is the great Awakening!

Bill posts his first video blog and behind-the-scenes look at his own experience with the 40-Day Program and what it’s like for him…

Have a look:

Only 1 New Year's Resolution Worth Making

I want to talk about “New Year’s Resolutions” with you for a minute.

I’m going to be honest; I’ve been writing this article for days! Writing, rewriting, researching, reading, cutting, pasting, questioning and rearranging.

After time in prayer, I deleted 90% of it.

I removed the heart-opening quotes from A Course in Miracles about starting a new year. I erased paragraphs full of good reasoning, prayer-full pearls of wisdom, my funny little anecdotes, attention-grabbing graphics, and thoughtful explanations. DELETE!

I gathered all the wisdom I collected and broke it down as simply as I could until it was only bare bones.

Here goes!

Don’t base your New Year’s resolution on changing anything of the body or fixing any factor outside of you such as your looks, social life, workplace, finances, relationships, habits or personality traits.

It doesn’t work. It’s never worked. It’s not going to work this year. It just won’t work.

Lurking beneath those resolutions, what you really want is to feel more love, more abundant, healthy and safe. You are merely trading one illusion for another… over and over and over again.

You ARE pure Love, you have everything and you are eternally safe with God.

The ONLY resolution worth making is to remove the blocks to this Truth; to God.

However, and listen carefully: None of this is going to happen unless you choose it for yourself.

Stop looking for Love in all the wrong places!

Jesus didn’t go into the desert for 40 days to lose weight or to become a better healer so he’d earn more golden coins! His ONLY resolve was to Know God. To Know Himself.

He knew he had to shift out of his normal patterns. He chose to attune Himself to new frequencies that are always there but drowned out when we’re sleep walking through life. He created a space for more Light to come in.

Now that’s a resolution!

After 40 days, He left the desert enlightened. Jesus no longer identified himself as the son of Joseph but as the Son of God. He knew He was never alone. He felt the totality of the great Love of God in a way that He’d never felt before. He knew He was in the Presence of an infinite, eternal substance, richly endowed with the fullness of All-Good. Now, He was aligned with an unshakable, invulnerable Love, security and abundance.

I want THAT for 2016. Will you join me?

The FREE 40-Day Transformation Program starts January 1st. It’s the best way I know of to interrupt old habitual patterns and let the Light in. It’s your turn. THIS is a consciousness shifter. When you fast from negative old thinking patterns, you become aware of things you didn’t even know were going on! You receive signals you’ve never received before. It’s the same amount of time Moses, Buddha and Jesus took for a full transformation and its here for you, right now, in your own home. You don’t need to go sit on a mountain top or under a tree!

I’m certain that the changes that came for Moses, Buddha and Jesus came from their decision to a new way of being. They were determined to look away from their old life and sit quietly until they knew the Truth. You’ll be amazed at how your problems, pain and sickness disappear when you realize how directly your thoughts and your physical experiences are connected and when you choose to make room for God’s Love.

Saying “Yes” is the single most important New Year’s Resolution you could ever make. In Truth, it’s the only one worth making.

So, set aside the diets and the guilty promises to be “better” in 2016 and join me for a time of discovery and awareness. For 40 days, you will acknowledge that there is a Presence & Power with you, as you. This Presence is your Inner Teacher and your Guide. This is how joyful, Loving, brilliant and lasting transformation happens.

I AM ALL IN… Are you?

My Extreme Christmas Makeover

Yes, that’s right, I gave Christmas an extreme makeover.

OK, I used to dread Christmas. I HATED IT!! It was one big stressor for me. I was grouchy. I abhorred holiday music. Mainstream, conventional Christmas, for me, was about spending a Santa-sized sack full of money, standing in long lines at the department stores, all sweaty under my winter coat, afraid I won’t get it all “done in time” and it always triggered a feeling of “never enough”… It left me exhausted.

xmas-blog-01

I was focusing on all the wrong stuff! None of those shenanigans matter! I’ve since learned the totally awesome Truth about Christmas, thanks to A Course In Miracles. I couldn’t wait to give my old ugly Christmas a new makeover.

Now I totally Love Christmas!

First of all, aside from shopping, decorating, wrapping, cooking and over-committing, I thought the birth of the historical Jesus was the main point of the Christmas story. Now I know that Christmas carries a meaning far beyond one man born two thousand years ago.
[su_spacer]
Christmas in the deepest sense is the celebration of His birth inside us all. If he is born anywhere, he is born in us.
[su_spacer]

Christ is being birthed in YOU!

We’re preparing for the birth of our possible selves.

This is an event which we have been psychologically pregnant all our lives!

Christ is born into the world through each of us.

Woah! This is a big deal people. We must prepare!

That’s what the Christmas season is really about.

How did we miss this?

[su_spacer]

But HOW to prepare (aka celebrate)?

You get more and more prepared every single time you:

● Open your heart (just a little willingness will do) to God and His Will

● Choose forgiveness for your brother AND yourself at every opportunity

● Trust

● Become aware of thoughts that don’t serve you and hand them over to your guide to be completely healed.

Jesus tells us over and over again not to judge by surface appearances. There is always much more going on than what our eyes see. He says, “as above, so below”. He was telling us that any visible event is showing what’s going on within us!!

● When you’re angry, you can give birth to gentleness

● When sorrowful, give birth to joy

● When you’re at war, you can birth peace.

Listen and listen well. Christmas is a season when we remember the ONLY REASON we’re here is to reach a higher state of consciousness. To raise us all (this means you) into a state of Heaven where pain, sickness, suffering and death do not exist. Ummm, please fill my stocking with a bunch of THAT and pass the eggnog.

Now, I feel like jingle-jangle celebrating!

Jesus, our brother, embodies this divine spark and is assigned the task of helping us do the same. Now there’s something for your “wish list”!

● Jesus tells us that He doesn’t have ANYTHING we don’t have! He just doesn’t have anything else clogging up his vision.

● He is showing us the potential for the rest of us. YES!

● He is a magnificent and eternal spiritual force. So are you.

● He is the transformer of perception because the only thing we need to be saved from is our own insanity; our own crazy thoughts.

● He is your friend and Comforter

● He is showing you, while on earth in your life right now, how to become what you Truly are. He represents who we were created to be and who we shall be. More than that, He can and WILL help us get there.

We should fall on our knees with praise and thanks at the realization of this.

Please remember, we can only birth something that is already within us. The Kingdom of God is already within YOU. Once you accept this, you will only know indescribable love, joy and peace. You will birth the total innocence and total holiness within you. That’s the #1 greatest news I’ve ever heard.

PARTY ON!

Jesus says you’ll laugh at the discovery that it has always been your natural state. You’re already there. You already have everything.

So, amid the hustle and bustle, you can CHOOSE to remember that this holiday is about celebrating YOUR OWN AWAKENING. Be joyful, playful, and make it a fun game. Check this out: Whenever you see the following holiday symbols, use them as Joyful reminders of the Love, and Freedom that is right here for you:

Whenever you see a wreath, remember that you are infinite and eternal with no beginning and no ending. You were never born and you will never taste death.

xmas-blog-03

Let every star you see remind you to follow Jesus, just the way the dignitaries did. He is right here and he’s asking you to join Him. The Course says, “If you knew who walked beside you on this path that you have chosen, fear would be impossible.”

xmas-blog-04

Mexican legend tells of a poor girl who could only offer the Baby Jesus a handful of weeds, but when she gave them to Him they blossomed into lush red plants. So, every time you see a Poinsettia, offer up all of your weeds, knowing they will be transformed into something beautiful.

xmas-blog-05

You are the light of the world. Lights come in all colors and sizes, demonstrating that each one of us, no matter what color we are or WHERE WE ARE on this journey, are all reflections of God’s love.

 xmas-blog-06

All the needles on the tree point heavenward reminding us where to direct every thought.

xmas-blog-07

Ornaments can represent how each of us can adorn this life with our gifts. Be yourself. That’s all you have to be. Never compare. God created you perfectly.

xmas-blog-08

We are all tied together as one. We are not separate from God or separate from each other. Let the bow become a symbol of our Unity and brotherhood in Christ.

xmas-blog-09

A Gingerbread man does not create himself. You do not create yourself. A cute and tasty reminder that you are as God created you.

xmas-blog-10

Last, but certainly not least… the only real gift you can ever give anyone is to recognize the Christ in them with no judgment. This gift instantly heals both of you. Seriously, this is the gift that keeps on giving!

xmas-blog-11

Finally, I’ll end with this beautiful Christmas quote from ACIM:

T-15.III.7. In this season (Christmas) which celebrates the birth of holiness into this world, join with me who decided for holiness for you. 2 It is our task together to restore the awareness of magnitude to the host whom God appointed for Himself. 3 It is beyond all your littleness to give the gift of God, but not beyond you. 4 For God would give Himself through you. 5 He reaches from you to everyone and beyond everyone to His Son’s creations, but without leaving you. 6 Far beyond your little world but still in you, He extends forever. 7 Yet He brings all His extensions to you, as host to Him.

[su_spacer]
Have fun! Frolic through the season as if you are unconditionally Loved, supported, guided, eternally safe, appreciated and adored.
[su_spacer]
Because you ARE!
[su_spacer]
Merry Christmas to you.

Much Love,

Keys to the Kingdom by Bill Free

“I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but by me…”
— John 14:6

Keys-blog-11.25.15Was Jesus talking about himself or was he talking about a metaphor? I feel that it’s very clear He was talking about both. In A Course in Miracles he says you (Christ Mind) are the way the truth and the life. You are God’s Son, complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of HIS Love. Jesus was making two statements in one here as he often had numerous meanings in his statements pointing to the truth. I AM is one statement that has Great! Power within itself and this I AM identifies an Awakened mind that no longer believes it is a human or even a body. It knows itself as being.

Another well-known ancient phrase quoted by Jesus that points to this as well:

“You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.”
— John 8:32

[su_spacer]

Keys to the Kingdom!

Two key phrases to unlock understanding of what Truth is, are in the very words themselves:

1. I AM
2. SHALL KNOW

The 1st one is the same as the 2nd one really. I AM is a recognition of Self Awareness (This is very important). “I AM” is you who are seeing as AWARENESS and “SHALL KNOW” is You as knowing. It is the You as I Am that discovers Itself as the Truth.

That’s it, these two keys unlock the mystery of enlightenment discovered by The Buddha, Jesus, Papaji, Ramana, Joel Goldsmith, Mooji and many other Master Teachers of the Way, the Truth, and the life.

YOU FOUND IT! Yahoo… Woot! Woot! It’s True☺ You are the Way, the Truth and the Light of God in Christ. Enlightenment is but a recognition of what you are always, even beyond time. You are eternal always and infinitely Pure Light…

You are what God is and just as the waves are inseparable from the ocean or the Sun’s rays inseparable from the Sun, so are you inseparable from what God/Source is and you know this.

Here’s a practice also to bring you into a constancy of this recognition and Awareness: Keys to the Kingdom of Self-Awareness, to begin to have a direct experience with this recognition of our inseparable relationship with Creator and Source… (This is for and available to everyone — no exceptions.)
[su_spacer]

Short Moments of Awareness

Start noticing Everything that shows up in the senses, taste, touch, smell, hearing… Everything, and don’t think about it but notice when you do — because it’s a wandering habit right now. Just notice that’s all… They are all observed. Your imagination is also observed. Your thoughts, fears, beliefs, self-identity, and labels of what you see and what they mean to you are all perceived in the view of Awareness.

short-moments-blog-11.25.15

You are Pure Awareness – the Observer. This is the Pure Self. Even the mind is observed from here.

Practice short moments of Awareness many times until it becomes automatic…

the-self-blog-11.25.15

You are the Self as God created You. Say only God is… and we cease to speak…

Be the Self.

I Love you.

Such Joy and Power in Gathering: ACIM Study Groups!

Have you ever thought about starting your own ACIM study group?

How about joining a group? Maybe you have and maybe you haven’t. Either way, we want to toss the idea around with you for a minute.

Study groups are so much fun and add HUGE velocity to learning because we do it together! Before you know it, it feels like family.

Although A Course in Miracles is a self-study book, coming together with others on the same path is epic. Jesus says, “When 2 or more gather in My name, there I am among them,” and He wasn’t kidding! This, my friend, is where the magic happens. You don’t have to be an ACIM expert to start a group. Nor do you have to “teach” anything. It just means that you are holding a space for others on the same path. All you need to do is invite the Holy Spirit in to be in charge, listen with your whole heart and exemplify non-judgment and acceptance. You will be amazed at how beautifully it goes at each meeting. Whether 1 person shows up or 15 people, it’s perfect.
[su_spacer]

Why start your own study group?

● To make a commitment to study the principals of A Course in Miracles for those who want a better life.
● To provide a safe place for sharing without judgment or gossip and with total anonymity.
● To serve as a gathering place for people on the same path.
● To have fun!
● To build a community of people who want to support each other in walking the walk, not just reading. Real miracles happen when we actively apply these principals into our daily lives TODAY.
● Because you can’t do this work without your Brother.
[su_spacer]

Group location:

● Anywhere in your home; living room, kitchen, dining room or basement. As long as you have some chairs and a lamp, you’re good to go.
● Function hall, some space in your local church or a quiet corner anywhere.
● Online study group or telephone study groups are also a great option. Check out freeconferencecall.com. (NOTE: I personally love the in-person energy but it’s all good!)

What’s most important is to begin and end the group in prayer; inviting the Holy Spirit to take over as He is the only one who can provide all that is needed for everyone in attendance. This prayer can be from A Course in Miracles or it can come through you or anyone in the group.
[su_spacer]
acim study group
[su_spacer]

How should you format your group? Any way you like!

● Study the ACIM Text, Urtext or Manual for Teachers (a section or just a paragraph or two)
● Choose a lesson from the Workbook
● Randomly select a section for discussion
● Have a different person choose a topic each week (remembering that every person is both student and teacher)
● Facilitator teaching
● Revolving teacher
● Open discussion
● Meditation group
● Set a “group goal” for the week on how you will “walk the walk”.
● No particular format; simply trust and let Spirit guide the meeting
● Feel free to add in a time for meditation (either guided or silent), music, ACIM YouTube videos, potluck dinner, simple snack, tea or no food or drink is fine.
[su_spacer]

Here are some other helpful hints:

● Remind folks to leave their stories at the door. This should not be a place to unload your garbage, unless it is used as a tool to shift perception from fear to Love.
● No crosstalk – no one should correct or offer advice to a brother under any circumstances, ever.
● Never use a study group to argue or debate principals of ACIM. This is never helpful and counterproductive to our goal of peace and joy.
● Introductions are a nice way to open up the meeting. If you’d like, you can have everyone (briefly) tell their name and set their intention for this meeting.
● Don’t have a pre-conceived idea of how the meeting should go. Be guided with an open mind and heart.
● Remember that everything is exactly as it should be: Whether 1 person shows up or 25 people, it’s perfect.
● Close each meeting with a short prayer or meditation.
[su_spacer]

How to invite people to your group:

● Online listings: There are many websites that list ACIM groups. Here are a few:

ACIM.org: A Global Map of  ACIM Study Groups

MiracleCenter.org: Search Tool to Locate ACIM Study Groups

Miracle Distribution Center: ACIM Resource Hub

Community Miracles Center: ACIM Study Group Directory

Meetup.com: A Course In Miracles Meetups

International Association of Miracle-Workers: Study Group Info

● Facebook: There are also many ACIM Facebook pages you could post your meeting on, to find folks in your area who might be interested.
[su_spacer]
We think that starting an ACIM study group is absolutely fantastic! It is going to change so many lives, most importantly… your own.
[su_spacer]

You totally rock!

“A teacher of God is anyone who chooses to be one. His qualifications consist solely in this; somehow, somewhere he has made a deliberate choice in which he did not see his interest as apart from some one else’s.” (Manual p. 3)

[su_spacer]
If you feel called to, you can add a suggested donation of $5 or $10 each to support the space and facilitators and to bring the energy of money, sharing and abundance in. Also, you can use this money to teach and demonstrate the benefits and blessings of tithing as a spiritual community practice.

If any of this feels right to you, just step in and let Holy Spirit work out the details. You will be so glad you did.

Again, if you don’t feel called to start one, go out an join one. Try out a couple of different ones and find one that feels like home.

Remember, we’re here if you have any questions or need further support.

Much Love,

The Owner’s Manual

By Bill Free

I don’t know if it’s a man thing or a mind thing… but a lot of people – mostly men – don’t like to be seen reading instructions. Do you remember the VCR players that everyone used to have in their home and they were always sitting there blinking on and off because they weren’t programmed? It seemed to be in everyone’s home, at least in the majority that I went in. Maybe a lot of people were just too busy to read the instructions.

It really allows the VCR player to work to its top potential when it’s programmed and operates as it was intended to work, right? Turns on to record your favorite TV show while you’re at work and then plays it for you that night or weekend. Pretty cool technology at the time.

A Course in Miracles is the same way:

We have helpful instructions on the very first pages of the Preface after “What It Is,” these instructions came directly from Jesus. They are concise, telling us what the Course says, what it means to us and it clearly defines the way I should approach reading and practicing the study of the Course to achieve the very Best! Desired results.

If we don’t follow the instructions we are bound to require more time and more lessons in attainment of the purpose and goal of the Course. I’m sure you have met people who’ve been following the Course for 20 or 30 years and don’t really get it or have the experience that it offers.

It’s like trying to graduate from college without going to class or without reading the material for the class. You may eventually finish but what’s the real point in going?

The first introduction in the beginning of the Course says that the lessons are “To be practiced with great specificity as will be indicated….”

In the early part of the unedited manuscript of the Course, (the Urtext) Jesus busted Helen several times for not listening and she and Bill both for habitual mind wandering, and that’s okay, we all do it until we don’t.

To Helen: P.S. The reason you have been late recently (for work) because you were taking dictation is merely because you didn’t remember to ask me when to stop. This is an example of the “indiscriminate or uncontrolled” miracle-working we already spoke of. It is well-meant but ill-advised.

[su_spacer]

Start Here:

Maze

Where should I start?

  Ask and you shall receive.

 Jesus is telling us the same  thing. We need to ask Him for instructions in every situation or we can go with Decide for me in Chapter 14 III 16 – asking the Holy Spirit, our inner teacher,  and that works  pretty well.

Also, notice from the beginning of the Workbook Lessons in the Introduction there are timers for the length of time you practice the idea for each day, eyes open or closed. Morning or evening and several times hourly if possible. This is the specificity He is talking about. No more than one lesson a day. You can stay on the same lesson for a few days but you want to make sure you’re not analyzing it too much in the head.

At the end of Part I after Workbook Lesson 200, the instructions say that if we review our thoughts the Holy Spirit bestows on us and if we understand, practice, accept the lesson and apply them to what happens throughout the day, one is enough… for thus is freedom given us from all we did not know and failed to understand. Enlightenment can be accomplished in one lesson fully understood, practiced, accepted and applied. Hallelujah!

The three most important insights I can offer is (1) follow exactly what each of the introductions say  and in Part II of the Course starting with Part II Introduction – (2) Welcome the Father to come (this is a quiet and sacred space). I usually do this every morning, don’t be in a hurry here. He has promised that His Son will not remain unanswered. We say the words of invitation that his voice suggests and then we (3) wait for Him to come to us. This is where we rest in God, hand on heart if you like.  This is what I do.  : )

From here when you read the next 145 Workbook Lessons, do it very slowly and especially welcome the prayers as dialogue with the Father from you to Him and from the Father to you.

Listen to God

Sit quietly, slowly read the  lesson title and lesson and italicized prayer for the next 145 Workbook Lessons, invite the Father and wait right there for at least 5 minutes. If you are in too big a hurry here you will  miss the whole direct  experience the Course offers  in the Introduction and you will likely spend your time with the next 145 lessons in vain.

“Words will mean little now.” We use them but as guides on which we do not now depend… “For now we seek direct experience of truth alone.” This is in the quiet space…

I just recently discovered this and it opened up Workbook Lessons 200 to 360 in a whole new way for me. Mostly in quiet communion with God Presence. It’s like Christmas morning to a little kid – now only its way more satisfying and it doesn’t leave you wanting something else a few days later. Here you connect with your God Self…

The Goal and promise of the Course is complete Enlightenment and Awakening within one year. Really? YES!
Give the next week’s lessons a test drive “the way it says to do it” and see if you don’t have a brand new experience Listening to God.

I Love You.

Blessings,
Bill (Rishi) Free

You Need Do Nothing

What does it mean when Jesus says in ACIM, “I need do nothing”?

Jesus says, “To do nothing is to rest, and make a place within you where the activity of the body ceases to demand attention. Into this place the Holy Spirit comes, and there abides.”

Ok, translate please…do I just lie in bed all day and order take out?

need-do-nothing-1

No, that’s not what it means. Let’s start with the basics.

There are 3 Ways of Being…

[su_spacer]

1) The Way of the World

This is when we make plans for the future based on what felt good or bad in our past. We are very action and task oriented and this is snowballing in our culture. We spend most of our time seeking goals of the future which keep us from experiencing the present. Just so you know, this is an act of separation and ALWAYS ends in guilt.

2) The Pursuit of Holiness

GAAH! So, we’ve realized that the first way, the way of the world, isn’t working so we try to make ourselves holy – better somehow. We think it’s going to take a lot of work and time to climb out of the mess we’ve made. We try to make ourselves feel “worthy” of God. We believe that our own efforts are going to make us holy. Sometimes we even believe that our “efforts” have made us holier than others, right? (Impossible, actually.)

3) I Need Do Nothing

This does not mean we are completely passive and withdraw from the world. It means that God has already done all the things that need to be done for the Atonement. So, our job isn’t to “DO” it but to “ACCEPT” it. We simply accept the atonement for ourselves. Nowhere does it say, “Atone yourself”.

Jesus says:
“If you perceive this as your only need,
you will be healed.”

Here are some other amazing things Jesus says about “doing nothing” in A Course in Miracles.

As long as we are actively seeing separate bodies and focusing on the dream, we are not leaving room for God. He says that un-doing this is our ONLY responsibility.

All of our “efforting”, no matter how spiritual, is simply interference. Even with the holiest of intentions, efforting is the work of the ego. Love requires no effort, just the willingness to ALLOW it. (OK, truthfully, the idea that my choices have the power to make me either sinful or holy is a frightening thought. It’s like putting a 3 year old at the wheel of a huge truck!!)

need-do-nothing-2

I need add nothing to His plan. But to receive it, I must be willing not to substitute my own in place of it. Knowing this is a powerful time saver!!

YOU ARE AS GOD CREATED YOU…RIGHT NOW!! You’re already at the goal!!
.
Let’s break it down even further:

I NEED DO NOTHING.

“I” – “Me”, it implies we are separate beings but we are nothing without God.
“NEED” – derived from discontent – denial that we already have everything!
“DO” – Self directed activity leaves no space for the truth.
“NOTHING” – to do “things” involves the body – NO thing withdraws the body from the mind.

Pretty ironic, huh? We have to work to REMEMBER not to WORK! LOL We only need to remember to stay empty and give the Holy Spirit room to abide and HE will do all the WORK! He will heal our minds for us. It’s the Holy Spirit Who shows us the difference between what’s real and what’s unreal, what matters and what doesn’t matter. It is the Holy Spirit Who undoes the ego belief that we are unworthy and inadequate. It is the Holy Spirit Who brings us peace and true comfort when we frighten ourselves with our false stories of conflict and differences. He does the WORK! He guides us to a new behavior…we DON’T!!! (breathe)

We still have to take this journey in time, but instead of choosing the thought, “I am not worthy but someday I’ll make myself worthy”(I call this the bad wolf) we instead think, “I am already worthy, I am already holy, I am already there, I just need to open my eyes”(good wolf).

So, which wolf is going to win? The strongest wolf. Which wolf is going to be the strongest?

THE ONE YOU FEED!!

need-do-nothing-3

That’s why I love A Course in Miracles so much. It’s 1200 pages of “Premium Grade A Good Wolf Food”. It’s a “Good Wolf” all you can eat buffet! ACIM is a loving road map for getting out of the first 2 Ways of Being that the world would have us believe.

Those first 2 ways of being are our default settings
if we don’t keep that good wolf well fed!

You decide which wolf will get fat and happy.

In short, there is nothing you need to do to “get” God,
just some thoughts you need to release for God to “get” you!

If there’s one thing I’ve learned; sometimes we need a coach, a K-9 wolf trainer, to remind us to give our busy minds a rest and make room for the gifts that are there for us, NOW, just waiting patiently for a space to enter.

This is why the Living in Purpose Mastery Program was created.

It’s 6 months of PRACTICING and LIVING the principles of A Course in Miracles.

This program was created for those who have experienced a profound shift during the 40-Day Program and want to keep going and applying these principals in their lives. It is for those who are dedicated to shifting out of fear and into Love.
