LESSON 135 If I Defend Myself I Am Attacked. Who would defend himself unless he thought he were attacked, that the attack were real, and that his own defense could save himself? And herein lies the folly of defense; it gives illusions full reality, and then attempts to handle them as real. It adds illusions to illusions, thus making correction doubly difficult. And it is this you do when you attempt to plan the future, activate the past, or organize the present as you wish.You operate from the belief you must protect yourself from what is happening because it must contain what threatens you. A sense of threat is an acknowledgment of an inherent weakness; a belief that there is danger which has power to call on you to make appropriate defense. The world is based on this insane belief. And all its structures, all its thoughts and doubts, its penalties and heavy armaments, its legal definitions and its codes, its ethics and its leaders and its gods, all serve but to preserve its sense of threat. For no one walks the world in armature but must have terror striking at his heart.Defense is frightening. It stems from fear, increasing fear as each defense 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?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 defense. What but the body has such frailty that constant care and watchful, deep concern are needful to protect its little life? What but the body falters and must fail to serve the Son of God as worthy host?Yet it is not the body that can fear, nor be a thing of fear. It has no needs but those which you assign to it. It needs no complicated structures of defense, 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? Can you be at peace with such a concept of your home? Yet what endowed the body with the right to serve you thus except your own belief? It is your mind which gave the body all the functions that you see in it, and set its value far beyond a little pile of dust and water. Who would make defense of something that he recognized as this?The body is in need of no defense. This cannot be too often emphasized. It will be strong and healthy if the mind does not abuse it by assigning it to roles it cannot fill, to purposes beyond its scope, and to exalted aims which it cannot accomplish. Such attempts, ridiculous yet deeply cherished, are the sources for the many mad attacks you make upon it. For it seems to fail your hopes, your needs, your values and your dreams.The “self” that needs protection is not real. The body, valueless and hardly worth the least defense, 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?Defend the body and you have attacked your mind. For you have seen in it the faults, the weaknesses, the limits and the lacks from which you think the body must be saved. You will not see the mind as separate from bodily conditions. And you will impose upon the body all the pain that comes from the conception of the mind as limited and fragile, and apart from other minds and separate from its Source.These are the thoughts in need of healing, and the body will respond with health when they have been corrected and replaced with truth. This is the body's only real defense. Yet is this where you look for its defense? You offer it protection of a kind from which it gains no benefit at all, but merely adds to your distress of mind. You do not heal, but merely take away the hope of healing, for you fail to see where hope must lie if it be meaningful.A healed mind does not plan. It carries out the plans that it receives through listening to Wisdom that is not its own. It waits until it has been taught what should be done, and then proceeds to do it. It does not depend upon itself for anything except its adequacy to fulfill the plans assigned to it. It 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.A healed mind is relieved of the belief that it must plan, although it cannot know the outcome which is best, the means by which it is achieved, nor how to recognize the problem that the plan is made to solve. It must misuse the body in its plans until it recognizes this is so. But when it has accepted this as true, then is it healed, and lets the body go.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.It is, perhaps, not easy to perceive that self-initiated plans are but defenses, with the purpose all of them were made to realize. They are the means by which a frightened mind would undertake its own protection, at the cost of truth. This is not difficult to realize in some forms which these self-deceptions take, where the denial of reality is very obvious. Yet planning is not often recognized as a defense.The mind engaged in planning for itself is occupied in setting up control of future happenings. It does not think that it will be provided for, unless it makes its own provisions. Time becomes a future emphasis, to be controlled by learning and experience obtained from past events and previous beliefs. It overlooks the present, for it rests on the idea the past has taught enough to let the mind direct its future course.The mind that plans is thus refusing to allow for change. What it has learned before becomes the basis for its future goals. Its past experience directs its choice of what will happen. And it does not see that here and now is everything it needs to guarantee a future quite unlike the past, without a continuity of any old ideas and sick beliefs. Anticipation plays no part at all, for present confidence directs the way.Defenses are the plans you undertake to make against the truth. Their aim is to select what you approve, and disregard what you consider incompatible with your beliefs of your reality. Yet what remains is meaningless indeed. For it is your reality that is the “threat” which your defenses would attack, obscure, and take apart and crucify.What could you not accept, if you but knew that everything that happens, all events, past, present and to come, are gently planned by One Whose only purpose is your good? Perhaps you have misunderstood His plan, for He would never offer pain to you. But your defenses did not let you see His loving blessing shine in every step you ever took. While you made plans for death, He led you gently to eternal life.Your present trust in Him is the defense that promises a future undisturbed, without a trace of sorrow, and with joy that constantly increases, as this life becomes a holy instant, set in time, but heeding only immortality. Let no defenses but your present trust direct the future, and this life becomes a meaningful encounter with the truth that only your defenses would conceal.Without defenses, you become a light which Heaven gratefully acknowledges to be its own. And it will lead you on in ways appointed for your happiness according to the ancient plan, begun when time was born. Your followers will join their light with yours, and it will be increased until the world is lighted up with joy. And gladly will our brothers lay aside their cumbersome defenses, which availed them nothing and could only terrify.We will anticipate that time today with present confidence, for this is part of what was planned for us. We will be sure that everything we need is given us for our accomplishment of this today. We make no plans for how it will be done, but realize that our defenselessness is all that is required for the truth to dawn upon our minds with certainty.For fifteen minutes twice today we rest from senseless planning, and from every thought that blocks the truth from entering our minds. Today we will receive instead of plan, that we may give instead of organize. And we are given truly, as we say:If I defend myself I am attacked.But in defenselessness I will be strong, and I will learn what my defenses hide.Nothing but that. If there are plans to make, you will be told of them. They may not be the plans you thought were needed, nor indeed the answers to the problems which you thought confronted you. But they are answers to another kind of question, which remains unanswered yet in need of answering until the Answer comes to you at last.All your defenses have been aimed at not receiving what you will receive today. And in the light and joy of simple trust, you will but wonder why you ever thought that you must be defended from release. Heaven asks nothing. It is hell that makes extravagant demands for sacrifice. You give up nothing in these times today when, undefended, you present yourself to your Creator as you really are.He has remembered you. Today we will remember Him. For this is Eastertime in your salvation. And you rise again from what was seeming death and hopelessness. Now is the light of hope reborn in you, for now you come without defense, to learn the part for you within the plan of God....

Time becomes a future emphasis, to be controlled by learning and experience obtained from past events and previous beliefs. It overlooks the present, for it rests on the idea the past has taught enough to let the mind direct its future course.The mind that plans is thus refusing to allow for change. What it has learned before becomes the basis for its future goals. Its past experience directs its choice of what will happen. And it does not see that here and now is everything it needs to guarantee a future quite unlike the past, without a continuity of any old ideas and sick beliefs. Anticipation plays no part at all, for present confidence directs the way.Defenses are the plans you undertake to make against the truth. Their aim is to select what you approve, and disregard what you consider incompatible with your beliefs of your reality. Yet what remains is meaningless indeed. For it is your reality that is the “threat” which your defenses would attack, obscure, and take apart and crucify.What could you not accept, if you but knew that everything that happens, all events, past, present and to come, are gently planned by One Whose only purpose is your good? Perhaps you have misunderstood His plan, for He would never offer pain to you. But your defenses did not let you see His loving blessing shine in every step you ever took. While you made plans for death, He led you gently to eternal life.Your present trust in Him is the defense that promises a future undisturbed, without a trace of sorrow, and with joy that constantly increases, as this life becomes a holy instant, set in time, but heeding only immortality. Let no defenses but your present trust direct the future, and this life becomes a meaningful encounter with the truth that only your defenses would conceal.Without defenses, you become a light which Heaven gratefully acknowledges to be its own. And it will lead you on in ways appointed for your happiness according to the ancient plan, begun when time was born. Your followers will join their light with yours, and it will be increased until the world is lighted up with joy. And gladly will our brothers lay aside their cumbersome defenses, which availed them nothing and could only terrify.We will anticipate that time today with present confidence, for this is part of what was planned for us. We will be sure that everything we need is given us for our accomplishment of this today. We make no plans for how it will be done, but realize that our defenselessness is all that is required for the truth to dawn upon our minds with certainty.For fifteen minutes twice today we rest from senseless planning, and from every thought that blocks the truth from entering our minds. Today we will receive instead of plan, that we may give instead of organize. And we are given truly, as we say:If I defend myself I am attacked.But in defenselessness I will be strong,and I will learn what my defenses hide.Nothing but that. If there are plans to make, you will be told of them. They may not be the plans you thought were needed, nor indeed the answers to the problems which you thought confronted you. But they are answers to another kind of question, which remains unanswered yet in need of answering until the Answer comes to you at last.All your defenses have been aimed at not receiving what you will receive today. And in the light and joy of simple trust, you will but wonder why you ever thought that you must be defended from release. Heaven asks nothing. It is hell that makes extravagant demands for sacrifice. You give up nothing in these times today when, undefended, you present yourself to your Creator as you really are.He has remembered you. Today we will remember Him. For this is Eastertime in your salvation - Jesus Christ in ACIM

Cooper and Matthew enjoy a chill, wide-ranging conversation that launches in with no introduction to a discussion of Pope Francis's recent passing. It morphs into a conversation about Easter and Easter traditions and Good Friday and Good Friday movies (Passion of the Christ and Silence come up). From there, Matthew asks a question about disciplines, and they talk about time management, mental fortitude, and habitual spiritual practices. Finally, they discuss the use of the word "struggle" as it relates to sanctification and sin. This episode is laid-back, but contains some good conversation about the Christian life, with two guys who are seeking to follow Christ in everything and live accordingly.

I currently have 9 spots available for my self-paced group program Deep Healing for the Creative Soul. This was previously $2,222 and now you can snag a spot for $888. Don't miss out on this opportunity to heal quickly and efficiently. No more pushing through life feeling unmotivated and uninspired. Break through the chains that keep you tied down.  Hello, my friends. I am so excited to get to talk to you today. I didn't think I was going to get an episode in because we have guests at our house and I really have trouble balancing work and family duties when I'm around people that I haven't got to see very often. And I know some of you can relate with that, but we just came back from the zoo and I have a minute and I'm feeling super inspired to share something with you guys. I have been, for some reason, really listening in on manifestation lately. I've been tuning into it. I've been deciphering what feels correct to me and what feels incorrect. And I just wanted to share my overall experiences with you guys. I just going to say flat out, I do not consider myself an expert in this at all. However, I can clearly look through at times in my life where I have been able to manifest things into in my world, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and what I see actually happens. So I know it's possible. And I know there's a lot of mumbo jumbo out there will say a lot of little whispers and static in the airways about this topic. So hey, why not? Let's talk about it. But first, let's go ahead and roll those credits because I have so much to go over with you guys. All right, here we go. Hey, friend, welcome to deep healing for creative entrepreneurs. My name is Aubrey Barr, and I am a subconscious release technique practitioner and photography business owner. I know you are sick of ending your day feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, and you are seeking a solution to help you feel creatively inspired and actively engaged in your business as well as professionalism. In this podcast, we are going to dig into any limiting beliefs or subconscious programs that are keeping you in a space filled with anxiety and stress. This work is not a temporary solution for your life. No, this is a complete transformation. So grab your coffee or tea and let's start you on the road to healing. And let me just say, you can do this. you are worth it, and you are meant to thrive in life and business. So let's dig in. So something that comes up a lot with people who talk about manifesting and people who try to do manifesting, whether you're a student or someone who feels like you're a coach, wherever you're at, there's this idea that the way that you feel is the way that things will be. And I believe it was Neville Goddard who said, assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled and observe the route that your attention follows. Okay. So a lot of people hear this and they think that they are supposed to feel into what that manifestation is like. So they're going to feel what it feels like to have this million dollar home or to have that partner that's just like the best thing that ever happened to you. And I do think there's truth to that, right? There's truth to feeling that deep inside. I talk about it all the time. When I feel into my gratitudes, when I allow myself to move to that higher vibration, I change my day. I absolutely stop maybe a bad day in its tracks and rearrange things and feel into that. I feel first and then the gratitude comes, right? Right. But what gets misconstrued a lot, I think, is that people think that when you are manifesting something and you are feeling into something, then you cannot waver from that feeling. So if I am manifesting this dream spouse, he's just like this incredible person. I know what I want to feel like around him. And I allow that to be my thing. And then you go on a date and you meet someone who you think is going to be the right guy. And it's just like, no, this is not happening whatsoever. And you actually leave feeling crappy. happy, right? You leave feeling unfulfilled and feeling really hopeless about, you know, your future with somebody. That moment, okay, is not going to break you. It's not going to be the end all of your manifestation journey. And I think people get so stuck in feeling like it has to feel good all the time. They have to always hold on to that feeling that they miss out on learning the opportunities. They miss out on learning like this experience has taught me what I do not want. And not only has it done that, but it's pushed me now in such a way that I am so motivated to go the other direction that I cannot even waver from that path now, right? So using your emotions for fuel towards this manifestation is always going to be better. It's always going to allow you to get closer. Does that make sense? I can't tell you how many times I have felt like, okay, I need to make this amount of money and I'm going to manifest it into my life. And I have all these offerings, which you guys know I do. And I do so many things. So I can manifest it through photography. I can manifest it through even doing my work, my subconscious work, but also massage work, right? I can, there's just ways for me to get it. Let's say that. And so I set that intention. I put it out there. I imagine what it's like. I feel into that. And then I have a bad day. And this day sucks so bad that it's hard for me to even feel gratitude. This happens to me too. I am human just like you are. But when those times happen and it's hard for me to lean into that, I tell you what, sometimes that is my biggest day. I end up booking two clients. I end up getting a photography contract that's $3,000, right? Those things happen on those off days too. And I'm sure if you take a minute and think back through your life at times when things you wanted to happen, and maybe you were feeling super pushed about it, and you were feeling just kind of down about it, those moments were not in vain. They were not perfect. They were not the perfect day on the most wonderful thing you were doing, and just like your emotions were so amazing, right? Sometimes it's those moments when we're not having the greatest day. What we need to understand is that when we set life in motion, and when we allow ourselves to imagine something better for ourselves. We are imagining in a different realm. We're not imagining in the 3D, right? Because if we were doing that, then we would have to play out exactly how each of those things were coming to us. We'd have to say, okay, when I go to the coffee shop at 8 a.m., that is where I will meet Mr. Right. He's going to be standing right there. He's going to actually even pay for my order. He's going to do all these things, right? That's ridiculous. And that puts puts limitations on us. So when we imagine things and we manifest things or we think we're manifesting things in the 3D, that is actually limiting ourselves. And so I've done this a million times too, where I will say, okay, well, I'm going to sell this course. It's going to be incredible. I really feel inclined to sell it. It's going to do so amazing. I'm going to bring in this amount of money, yada, yada. And then what happens is I bring in that amount of money, but it was in a completely different way. So I knew I was doing something right. I knew I was on the right path, but yet it wasn't playing out the way I thought it would. What I want you to understand, okay, is that it is not only okay to not feel great about something 100% of the time, but it also is completely normal and it's not bad. No emotions that you feel are bad. Emotions are neutral, okay? Okay, it's the experience that you put on that emotion that allows it to be a good or bad thing. There's no escaping emotion, unless you're a psychopath. That's a podcast episode on its own, right? But there's no escaping that. Whatever you have going on in your life is for your benefit to help you move towards something else. I know that's a hard pill to swallow sometimes. So let's take that example around finding that spouse, finding that significant other, right? and putting a limit on it. When we say it out loud, it sounds ridiculous. But when we use our experiences that we've had in life that maybe were crappy experiences, things that we do not wish on our daughters, we do not wish on our friends, we don't wish on our enemies. We want people to find what they're looking for in life. If you take that experience and you label it, then you're constantly allowing yourself to stay in that 3D where you are controlling everything. Instead, Let's release the need to label something. Let's allow ourselves to manifest something good into our lives without having the limitations. Right? Let's lead with our emotion, whether that's good or bad, whether that feels comfortable or uncomfortable. Okay? So when Neville Goddard said, assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled and observe that route that your attention follows. He did not mean that you always have to stay in that vibration. What he meant was assume you're going to get there. In other words, when you put time and energy and effort into something that you really want and you say flat out, this is what I desire. This is what I know I deserve. I don't know how I'm going to get there. That's the part right there. I do not know how I'm going to get there, but I'm going to provide that there's paths in certain directions. I'm going to be open to opportunities that come my way that would push me in a different direction, right? So assuming the emotion is then trusting, isn't it? It's more about trusting that whatever it is you have asked for is already coming to you and you detach that emotion from it. You are no longer restricting yourself. Everything that has a negative emotion attached to it and it feels like I need that and and you put that word out there, need, and I know you know what I'm talking about. Like I need $10,000. Like I need it yesterday. I have to pay my mortgage. I have to do this, whatever. When you add that extra need to it, what you're actually doing, restricting that from coming your way. You're putting up a boundary and you don't even know it. So here's the coin I want you to take with you. Next time you're having a bad day, why don't you feel into those emotions? Say, you know what? I'm having a bad day because this actually just sucks, right? Like this just doesn't feel good. I'm sad. I feel grief. I feel guilt. I'm having a bad day and that's okay. But don't assume that nothing good is going to happen to you now. Don't revert back to that part of you that feels hopeless, right? That part of you is a child. I want you to understand that. That is the child in all of us. I've met plenty of adults who still have that child in them that has not let go of that death grip, okay? You don't want to be that person. You want to have enough emotional intelligence to understand that you are going to have bad days. You're going to feel like crap sometimes some days are going to suck like it's just it's gonna suck you guys i know this you know this but understanding that you will come out the other side not giving up hope in everything that you are and everything that you've worked for that is where the magic stands and i believe in my opinion that's how we still manifest through all of this that's how people can still manifest fest and have bad days and have good days and, you know, feel like, oh my gosh, it's almost here one day and the next day, like I'm a, I'm an utter failure. So please keep that in your mind. Keep that in your heart. Understand that you're a human and allow yourself to roll with it. Allow whatever opportunities to come your way. Come with openness. Like, I don't know how this is going to work, but here's this opportunity. It's not what I thought it was going to be, but I feel good about it. And I'm going to let that happen to me. I'm going to see what happens here. So I hope that's helpful to you guys. I don't know why that was on my mind, but it is something that I've dealt with in the the past and I thought it might be a really good conversation for us to have. I want to tell you guys I am so celebrating right now because this podcast finally got to 10,000 downloads. That was a huge goal of mine since I started. There was just something about that 10,000 downloads that I was yearning for and I might have, honestly, just between you and I, I might have held on to that too much and even restricted it myself for a while. But we all have to learn from something, thing, right? Here I am. I'm still going strong. I had got my 10,000 downloads. I see so much more in the future of this podcast, in the future of me with my business. And I am so sorry if you can hear kids yelling in the background. They're having the time of their lives, these cousins. So I apologize, but I did want to record today. I did want to share my message with you guys. And I also wanted to take the opportunity to tell you I had a really important epiphany about the work that I do. And I decided that I wanted to open up my course, Deep Healing for the Creative Soul, for more souls. And I want to make this accessible to people. I am seeing a lot of businesses go down. I'm seeing a lot of artists and creatives just feeling hopeless. And I'm. I happen to know that there's a lot of hope out there, that there's a lot of growth and we do not need to live in scarcity, but I want to spread that message to you. And I want to reach as many people as I possibly can. And so I decided to reshape the way I do this program. I am no longer offering private sessions with that program. I used to offer four private sessions plus weekly group calls. And I'm taking that back a notch in order to provide this beautiful masterpiece that I worked so hard on and came through intuition and divine guidance to so many people. I want to offer it to you. And I want it to be at a price point that you can reasonably say you can invest in yourself. Now, we all know that you are worth every penny of it. when it was $2,222, you are worth it. The work is worth it. This is life-changing. It's not just something I talk about. It's something my clients live. It's something that changes lives like that. But instead of that price point, I decided to keep it to 16 weeks of pure magic self-paced work bi-weekly group sessions. So what does that mean? That means every first and third Wednesday. We will be meeting as a group. One of the monthly meetings is going to be in the middle of the day, Eastern Time, and one is going to be in the evening, Easter Time. So we're going to try to accommodate people from all over. I know this podcast is a global podcast, and I want to be able to offer that to you guys. Because I have the opportunity to change what is offered in the program, it takes the weight off of me to have such a high price point, and I'm able to bring it down to $8.88. Okay, so if this sounds like something that you want in on, I am only offering 10 spots at this rate. We are going to try it out, consider it a beta. This is the same price as my original beta program, by the way, that sold out. So I am offering 10 spots only. I sent out an email this morning and I already filled one of the spots. So I've got nine spots left. It's an incredible deal. Please know there are still payments that you can do. You can do a monthly payment, but it does come out to be $9.99. If you do the full payment, it's $8.88. You guys, this is insane. This is my way to get back to all of you that I know are in that space of just struggling, not feeling like you can manifest things, not feeling like you can fully embody everything that's coming to you. And I want to change that with you. I want you to look back and say, you know what? That was the best program I ever took. That was the best time I had with Aubrey. Because I'll tell you something, none of my clients are upset when they finish sessions with me, when they do this course with me. Nobody's ever upset about it. Like everybody knows they need it. It's taking that leap, believing in yourself, knowing you're worth it, knowing that now is the time that you're worth it. That's when the magic happens. So I can't promise that I will keep this course at this rate, but right now it feels so good to offer it to you guys. In a different package like this. So follow the link below in the show notes, check it out, see if it fits. Let me know if you have any questions whatsoever. I'm always happy to answer them. And I am just so excited to see who comes in here with me. And I'm going to be honest, I am manifesting 10 of the most amazing people out there. I am manifesting you into this program. Graham. So wherever you are, whoever you are, I am just so excited to get to share this energy with you, to get to help you to heal. Finally, we're going to save you a ton of time, money, energy that you're needing for therapy through this course. I can promise you that. I hear it from every single one of my clients. All right, guys, I hope you have a beautiful week. I have a special message coming later on this week. It is my birthday, and that is going to be so amazing. I absolutely am so ready to celebrate. So I hope you guys have fun. We'll talk to you soon. I hope this podcast spoke to you in some way. If it did, please go ahead and leave me a review view and subscribe so that I know you're enjoying what you hear. And further, if you know somebody else who owns their own creative business and struggles with anything that we spoke about, please pass this on because it is my hope that we will be able to build a community of like-minded individuals who love on each other and appreciate the many facets that make our creative business so unique. And lastly, check out the show notes to find my free Facebook community and other useful links to work with me. All right, friend. See you soon. Music.

LESSON 135If I Defend Myself I Am Attacked.Who would defend himself unless he thought he were attacked, that the attack were real, and that his own defense could save himself? And herein lies the folly of defense; it gives illusions full reality, and then attempts to handle them as real. It adds illusions to illusions, thus making correction doubly difficult. And it is this you do when you attempt to plan the future, activate the past, or organize the present as you wish.You operate from the belief you must protect yourself from what is happening because it must contain what threatens you. A sense of threat is an acknowledgment of an inherent weakness; a belief that there is danger which has power to call on you to make appropriate defense. The world is based on this insane belief. And all its structures, all its thoughts and doubts, its penalties and heavy armaments, its legal definitions and its codes, its ethics and its leaders and its gods, all serve but to preserve its sense of threat. For no one walks the world in armature but must have terror striking at his heart.Defense is frightening. It stems from fear, increasing fear as each defense 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?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 defense. What but the body has such frailty that constant care and watchful, deep concern are needful to protect its little life? What but the body falters and must fail to serve the Son of God as worthy host?Yet it is not the body that can fear, nor be a thing of fear. It has no needs but those which you assign to it. It needs no complicated structures of defense, 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? Can you be at peace with such a concept of your home? Yet what endowed the body with the right to serve you thus except your own belief? It is your mind which gave the body all the functions that you see in it, and set its value far beyond a little pile of dust and water. Who would make defense of something that he recognized as this?The body is in need of no defense. This cannot be too often emphasized. It will be strong and healthy if the mind does not abuse it by assigning it to roles it cannot fill, to purposes beyond its scope, and to exalted aims which it cannot accomplish. Such attempts, ridiculous yet deeply cherished, are the sources for the many mad attacks you make upon it. For it seems to fail your hopes, your needs, your values and your dreams.The “self” that needs protection is not real. The body, valueless and hardly worth the least defense, 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?Defend the body and you have attacked your mind. For you have seen in it the faults, the weaknesses, the limits and the lacks from which you think the body must be saved. You will not see the mind as separate from bodily conditions. And you will impose upon the body all the pain that comes from the conception of the mind as limited and fragile, and apart from other minds and separate from its Source.These are the thoughts in need of healing, and the body will respond with health when they have been corrected and replaced with truth. This is the body's only real defense. Yet is this where you look for its defense? You offer it protection of a kind from which it gains no benefit at all, but merely adds to your distress of mind. You do not heal, but merely take away the hope of healing, for you fail to see where hope must lie if it be meaningful.A healed mind does not plan. It carries out the plans that it receives through listening to Wisdom that is not its own. It waits until it has been taught what should be done, and then proceeds to do it. It does not depend upon itself for anything except its adequacy to fulfill the plans assigned to it. It 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.A healed mind is relieved of the belief that it must plan, although it cannot know the outcome which is best, the means by which it is achieved, nor how to recognize the problem that the plan is made to solve. It must misuse the body in its plans until it recognizes this is so. But when it has accepted this as true, then is it healed, and lets the body go.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.It is, perhaps, not easy to perceive that self-initiated plans are but defenses, with the purpose all of them were made to realize. They are the means by which a frightened mind would undertake its own protection, at the cost of truth. This is not difficult to realize in some forms which these self-deceptions take, where the denial of reality is very obvious. Yet planning is not often recognized as a defense.The mind engaged in planning for itself is occupied in setting up control of future happenings. It does not think that it will be provided for, unless it makes its own provisions. Time becomes a future emphasis, to be controlled by learning and experience obtained from past events and previous beliefs. It overlooks the present, for it rests on the idea the past has taught enough to let the mind direct its future course.The mind that plans is thus refusing to allow for change. What it has learned before becomes the basis for its future goals. Its past experience directs its choice of what will happen. And it does not see that here and now is everything it needs to guarantee a future quite unlike the past, without a continuity of any old ideas and sick beliefs. Anticipation plays no part at all, for present confidence directs the way.Defenses are the plans you undertake to make against the truth. Their aim is to select what you approve, and disregard what you consider incompatible with your beliefs of your reality. Yet what remains is meaningless indeed. For it is your reality that is the “threat” which your defenses would attack, obscure, and take apart and crucify.What could you not accept, if you but knew that everything that happens, all events, past, present and to come, are gently planned by One Whose only purpose is your good? Perhaps you have misunderstood His plan, for He would never offer pain to you. But your defenses did not let you see His loving blessing shine in every step you ever took. While you made plans for death, He led you gently to eternal life.Your present trust in Him is the defense that promises a future undisturbed, without a trace of sorrow, and with joy that constantly increases, as this life becomes a holy instant, set in time, but heeding only immortality. Let no defenses but your present trust direct the future, and this life becomes a meaningful encounter with the truth that only your defenses would conceal.Without defenses, you become a light which Heaven gratefully acknowledges to be its own. And it will lead you on in ways appointed for your happiness according to the ancient plan, begun when time was born. Your followers will join their light with yours, and it will be increased until the world is lighted up with joy. And gladly will our brothers lay aside their cumbersome defenses, which availed them nothing and could only terrify.We will anticipate that time today with present confidence, for this is part of what was planned for us. We will be sure that everything we need is given us for our accomplishment of this today. We make no plans for how it will be done, but realize that our defenselessness is all that is required for the truth to dawn upon our minds with certainty.For fifteen minutes twice today we rest from senseless planning, and from every thought that blocks the truth from entering our minds. Today we will receive instead of plan, that we may give instead of organize. And we are given truly, as we say:If I defend myself I am attacked.But in defenselessness I will be strong,and I will learn what my defenses hide.Nothing but that. If there are plans to make, you will be told of them. They may not be the plans you thought were needed, nor indeed the answers to the problems which you thought confronted you. But they are answers to another kind of question, which remains unanswered yet in need of answering until the Answer comes to you at last.All your defenses have been aimed at not receiving what you will receive today. And in the light and joy of simple trust, you will but wonder why you ever thought that you must be defended from release. Heaven asks nothing. It is hell that makes extravagant demands for sacrifice. You give up nothing in these times today when, undefended, you present yourself to your Creator as you really are.He has remembered you. Today we will remember Him. For this is Eastertime in your salvation...

LESSON 135If I Defend Myself I Am Attacked.Who would defend himself unless he thought he were attacked, that the attack were real, and that his own defense could save himself? And herein lies the folly of defense; it gives illusions full reality, and then attempts to handle them as real. It adds illusions to illusions, thus making correction doubly difficult. And it is this you do when you attempt to plan the future, activate the past, or organize the present as you wish.You operate from the belief you must protect yourself from what is happening because it must contain what threatens you. A sense of threat is an acknowledgment of an inherent weakness; a belief that there is danger which has power to call on you to make appropriate defense. The world is based on this insane belief. And all its structures, all its thoughts and doubts, its penalties and heavy armaments, its legal definitions and its codes, its ethics and its leaders and its gods, all serve but to preserve its sense of threat. For no one walks the world in armature but must have terror striking at his heart.Defense is frightening. It stems from fear, increasing fear as each defense 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?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 defense. What but the body has such frailty that constant care and watchful, deep concern are needful to protect its little life? What but the body falters and must fail to serve the Son of God as worthy host?Yet it is not the body that can fear, nor be a thing of fear. It has no needs but those which you assign to it. It needs no complicated structures of defense, 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? Can you be at peace with such a concept of your home? Yet what endowed the body with the right to serve you thus except your own belief? It is your mind which gave the body all the functions that you see in it, and set its value far beyond a little pile of dust and water. Who would make defense of something that he recognized as this?The body is in need of no defense. This cannot be too often emphasized. It will be strong and healthy if the mind does not abuse it by assigning it to roles it cannot fill, to purposes beyond its scope, and to exalted aims which it cannot accomplish. Such attempts, ridiculous yet deeply cherished, are the sources for the many mad attacks you make upon it. For it seems to fail your hopes, your needs, your values and your dreams.The “self” that needs protection is not real. The body, valueless and hardly worth the least defense, 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?Defend the body and you have attacked your mind. For you have seen in it the faults, the weaknesses, the limits and the lacks from which you think the body must be saved. You will not see the mind as separate from bodily conditions. And you will impose upon the body all the pain that comes from the conception of the mind as limited and fragile, and apart from other minds and separate from its Source.These are the thoughts in need of healing, and the body will respond with health when they have been corrected and replaced with truth. This is the body's only real defense. Yet is this where you look for its defense? You offer it protection of a kind from which it gains no benefit at all, but merely adds to your distress of mind. You do not heal, but merely take away the hope of healing, for you fail to see where hope must lie if it be meaningful.A healed mind does not plan. It carries out the plans that it receives through listening to Wisdom that is not its own. It waits until it has been taught what should be done, and then proceeds to do it. It does not depend upon itself for anything except its adequacy to fulfill the plans assigned to it. It 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.A healed mind is relieved of the belief that it must plan, although it cannot know the outcome which is best, the means by which it is achieved, nor how to recognize the problem that the plan is made to solve. It must misuse the body in its plans until it recognizes this is so. But when it has accepted this as true, then is it healed, and lets the body go.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.It is, perhaps, not easy to perceive that self-initiated plans are but defenses, with the purpose all of them were made to realize. They are the means by which a frightened mind would undertake its own protection, at the cost of truth. This is not difficult to realize in some forms which these self-deceptions take, where the denial of reality is very obvious. Yet planning is not often recognized as a defense.The mind engaged in planning for itself is occupied in setting up control of future happenings. It does not think that it will be provided for, unless it makes its own provisions. Time becomes a future emphasis, to be controlled by learning and experience obtained from past events and previous beliefs. It overlooks the present, for it rests on the idea the past has taught enough to let the mind direct its future course.The mind that plans is thus refusing to allow for change. What it has learned before becomes the basis for its future goals. Its past experience directs its choice of what will happen.

The Good Shepherd Project: Helping Clergy Preach the Prolife Message at Easter Time by Priests for Life

Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! — Romans 5:9 As we noted yesterday, when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus at Eastertime, we may often hear about the Easter bunny and eggs and chocolate. Those old secular traditions have nothing to do with Jesus' gift of new life for all who believe in him. But they can be distracting if we forget to focus on God's amazing love shown to us through the death and rising of his Son, Jesus. Reflecting on the shed blood of Jesus may make us uncomfortable. Perhaps we would rather focus on nicer, sweeter things—like chocolate or some other treat—at this time of year. But the sacrifice of Christ is the only thing that could pay the debt of our sin and bring us peace with God. There is no redemption through chocolate. Our redemption from sin and death came through the shed blood of Jesus, the Lamb of God. As we saw earlier this month, when God delivered his people from slavery in Egypt, the sacrificed lamb of the Passover pointed ahead to the sacrifice of Jesus, God's only Son. He became “the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). By his death we have life. By his shed blood we are set free and cleansed from all sin! Lord God, you have freed us from sin through the blood of Christ shed on the cross for our sake. Through his death we can now enjoy full life in you. In his name we pray. Amen.

Who doesn't like to celebrate Easter? Chocolate covered Easter Bunnies, jelly beans, Peeps marshmallows delights and have you noticed I just keep mentioning sweets. Ok, I may have a problem.  Actually it is a reminder that Christ died on the cross for us and that is powerful, because the  most important thing is that he rose again from the dead according to the scriptures. So yes, Jesus loves me. Also, many people are starting to think about summer vacations and honestly now is the time to start planning.

It is Tuesday morning, the 12th of April, 2022 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.If we go straight to Luke 13, I am reading from verse 34. Jesus said:“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; and [k]assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' ”You and I are so loved by God, so very loved. There is a little church on the slopes of the Mount of Olives, it sits directly opposite the Temple Mount. You have to walk down the Mount of Olives until you get to the Kidron Valley and then up the other side to reach the Temple Mount where Solomon built the Temple. Jesus would have sat there and wept over Jerusalem. He knew what was coming, not only to the city but right up to this very present day that we are living in.He wants to tell us this morning that He is here to love and protect us, just like the mother hen protects her little chicks. I heard a beautiful story many years ago. In the mighty Drakensburg Mountains when the men were burning firebreaks as winter was approaching. These firebreaks were to stop fire from spreading. Men were walking along the firebreaks they had burnt and it was just black and charred. They were checking to see that nothing was left smouldering before going home. They saw the burnt remains of a wild bird lying in the path, it was a partridge. It was caught by the fire, its wings were spread out and it was lying there dead. When they turned it over there was a little clutch of chicks, alive and well. She had protected her chicks with her very life.Oh, my dear friend, that is what Jesus wants to do for you and me as we remember Him at this Easter Time. Today, allow Him to protect you and to look after you.Have a wonderful day.Jesus bless you and goodbye.
