Fear As Defence

Fear

Don't be afraid to let of your defences. Fear not your resurrection.If I told you that you were actively defending yourself against experiencing your own resurrection, would you stop? Could you stop?. There is a moment IN you where you are unable to solve the problem, you can call it surrender or giving up but what you will find is a complete dependence on God. Here is Jesus from A Course In Miracles, Lesson 135.

"Defence is frightening. It stems from fear, increasing fear as each defence is made. You think it offers safety. Yet it speaks of fear made real and terror justified. Is it not strange you do not pause to ask, as you elaborate your plans and make your armor thicker and your locks more tight, what you defend, and how, and against what?"

Simple, reasonable and socratic. Here is where you are being asked to look at the nature of your own defensive behavior.

"Let us consider first what you defend. It must be something that is very weak and easily assaulted. It must be something made easy prey, unable to protect itself, and needing your defence. What but the body has such frailty that constant care and watchful, deep concern is needful to protect its little life? What but the body falters and must fail to serve the Son of God as worthy host?"

Time to get honest. A Course In Miracles is an exposure. Yes, it can be uncomfortable and that is why real change must be wanted or you will simply return to your "comfort zone" of sickness, pain and death. I know you think you are a body but that is why I am telling you, that there is an experience that will show you, not only are you not a body but you have already returned to where you have never left.

"Yet it is not the body that can fear, nor be a thing to fear. It has no need but those which you assign to it. It needs no complicated structures of defence, no health-inducing medicine, no care and no concern at all. Defend its life, or give it gifts to make it beautiful or walls to make it safe, and you but say your home is open to the thief of time, corruptible and crumbling, so unsafe it must be guarded with your very life."

"Is not this picture fearful?" Indeed it is!
"Can you be at peace with such a concept of your home?" I shouldn't think so.
"Yet what endowed the body with the right to serve you thus except your own belief?" And there it is! And don't give me any bullshit about "my ego believes that" NO! You believe it. All power is given you on earth and in Heaven.

"The body is in need of no defence. This cannot be too often emphasized..."
STOP DEFENDING YOUR SELF!

"The “self ” that needs protection is not real. The body, valueless and hardly worth the least defence, need merely be perceived as quite apart from you, and it becomes a healthy, serviceable instrument through which the mind can operate until its usefulness is over. Who would want to keep it when its usefulness is done?"

And so we can see that the choice, while you still think choice is possible, is totally up to you. You don't have to be afraid of your resurrection. Now is the time and here is the place. There is nothing to fear. So can say this out loud and mean it. 

“This is my Easter time. And I would keep It holy.
I will not defend myself, Because the Son of God needs no defence
Against the truth of his Reality.”

Right-Mindedness

Mind

Right Minded thinking is listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit"The Holy Spirit is nothing more than your right Mind."

 I would like a share something that happened about a month ago which I was told, until now, not to say anything about. Which was a little strange as it didn't seem like such a big deal.

We get together and share A Course In Miracles every morning around 8.30. On this one particular morning as I was driving when I got this sort of instruction to "stop at the gas station, go in and ask for a paper funnel then pay with cash". ( I needed the paper funnel because I had to add some gas treatment to my tank.) As soon as I "saw" what I was suppose to do, I thought, no...I'm running late and that will require me going in to see the attendant twice, I will do it after class.

A moment later..."stop at the gas station, go in and ask for a paper funnel then pay with cash", with the addition "don't worry about the time". I knew then that Jesus wanted me to do this for Him and I knew I didn't need to know why, so I did it. Afterwards, I was told not to say anything about it. The strange thing was that on a couple of occasions I almost mentioned it. As an aside, class ended up being late so I didn't miss anything.

And now, for no reason or for every reason, I am able to tell you that story.

I still have no idea what the purpose of that was for, other than me following instructions, Ha! I guess what Jesus is asking me to express is, you ARE hearing voices ALL THE TIME! The only question would be is are you listening? Listening is the first of two parts in this need to communicate, the second, of course is action. Listen to this from A Course In Miracles. 

"You whose minds are darkened by doubt and guilt, remember this; God gave the Holy Spirit TO you, and gave HIM the mission to REMOVE all doubt, and every trace of guilt, that His dear Son has laid upon himself. It is IMPOSSIBLE THAT THIS MISSION FAIL. Nothing can prevent what God would HAVE accomplished from accomplishment. Whatever your reactions to the Holy Spirit's Voice may be, whatever voice you choose to listen to, whatever strange thoughts may occur to you, God's Will IS done."

If that's not good news for you then I don't know how to help you. 

"You WILL find the peace in which He has established you, because HE does NOT change His Mind. He is invariable as the peace in which you dwell, and of which the Holy Spirit reminds you."

"You will not remember change and shift in Heaven. You have need of contrast only here. Contrast and differences are necessary teaching aids, for by them you learn what to avoid, and what to seek. When you have LEARNED this, you will find the answer that makes the need for ANY differences disappear."

In that sense it makes no difference what you do here. This is nothing more than a memory of a moment of lost communication, which IS impossible. Your right  MInd, the Holy Spirit, given you by God, is speaking to you all the time. You can be of service to Jesus, once you have accepted the atonement for yourself. There is only you. You can only be helping yourself in your own time/space sequence, which WILL bring about a shortening of the time that you were here, which in truth is already over and gone.

"Truth comes of its OWN will, unto its own. When you have learned that you BELONG to truth, it will flow lightly over you, without a difference of ANY kind.For you will NEED no contrast to help you realize that THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT, and ONLY this.

Dream of Self Discovery

Dream
A Dream of Self Discovery in dreaminfg that the dreamer is no real. I would like to introduce this video of Self discovery by using a quote from the Master Teacher. He expresses the complete unreal nature of this dream sequence. You as an identity, asleep in a dream and the awakening that is going on, here and now.

"We are sharing the illuminate reality of the teachings of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, out of body, in eternity, out of time, speaking to you of the certainty that you are in a dream of separation from which He has awakened. This is an integrating of His awakened mind with your sleeping mind by which you will discover that you have been dreaming a dream of defensive self-containment in your effort to make real the apparent existence of this world, through your bodily identity, as somehow distinct from the single source of eternally-creating Life.
So the Course in Miracles is the awakening of you from your dream of death."
The Reality of Physical Resurrection ~Master Teacher

I encourage you to take a moment and really listen to what is being expressed in this video.
