SOLVING THE PROBLEM means recognizing that we have only one problem, and that is our "imagined separation" from our SOURCE. We cannot really be separated in truth, but somehow we got distracted from our Divine Connection, and in forgetting it, we indulged in fear that manufactured all kinds of a multitude of problems. We are attempting to clear up this "imagined separation" here and now. We CONNECT with our SOURCE in a real way, in this Holy Instant. We receive the answers we need to complete anything that is demanding our attention. Our one PROBLEM has been solved, so our "many problems" are solved as well. 

"The emphasis of this course always remains the same;—it is at this moment that complete salvation is offered you, and it is at this moment that you can accept it. ²This is still your one responsibility. ³Atonement might be equated with total escape from the past and total lack of interest in the future. ⁴Heaven is here. ⁵There is nowhere else. ⁶Heaven is now. ⁷There is no other time. ⁸No teaching that does not lead to this is of concern to God's teachers."

Urpi and David share the Joy of Being Present. They sing a happy Song of Spirit! Joy and pain are not the same, Joy being miracles and pain being the belief in sacrifice. Personality is nothing but past associations, while Christ lives in the Holy Instant.

Final LessonsIntroductionOur final lessons will be left as free of words as possible. We use them but at the beginning of our practicing, and only to remind us that we seek to go beyond them. Let us turn to Him Who leads the way and makes our footsteps sure. To Him we leave these lessons, as to Him we give our lives henceforth. For we would not return again to the belief in sin that made the world seem ugly and unsafe, attacking and destroying, dangerous in all its ways, and treacherous beyond the hope of trust and the escape from pain.His is the only way to find the peace that God has given us. It is His way that everyone must travel in the end, because it is this ending God Himself appointed. In the dream of time it seems to be far off. And yet, in truth, it is already here; already serving us as gracious guidance in the way to go. Let us together follow in the way that truth points out to us. And let us be the leaders of our many brothers who are seeking for the way, but find it not.And to this purpose let us dedicate our minds, directing all our thoughts to serve the function of salvation. Unto us the aim is given to forgive the world. It is the goal that God has given us. It is His ending to the dream we seek, and not our own. For all that we forgive we will not fail to recognize as part of God Himself. And thus His memory is given back, completely and complete.It is our function to remember Him on earth, as it is given us to be His Own completion in reality. So let us not forget our goal is shared, for it is that remembrance which contains the memory of God, and points the way to Him and to the Heaven of His peace. And shall we not forgive our brother, who can offer this to us? He is the way, the truth and life that shows the way to us. In him resides salvation, offered us through our forgiveness, given unto him.We will not end this year without the gift our Father promised to His holy Son. We are forgiven now. And we are saved from all the wrath we thought belonged to God, and found it was a dream. We are restored to sanity, in which we understand that anger is insane, attack is mad, and vengeance merely foolish fantasy. We have been saved from wrath because we learned we were mistaken. Nothing more than that. And is a father angry at his son because he failed to understand the truth?We come in honesty to God and say we did not understand, and ask Him to help us to learn His lessons, through the Voice of His Own Teacher. Would He hurt His Son? Or would He rush to answer him, and say, “This is My Son, and all I have is his”? Be certain He will answer thus, for these are His Own Words to you. And more than that can no one ever have, for in these Words is all there is, and all that there will be throughout all time and in eternity.LESSON 361This Holy Instant Would I Give To You.Be You In Charge.

2nd. Session, Brazil Weekend Retreat, Mosteiro Itaici, Sao Paulo, with David Hoffmeister and Paulinha OliveiraDavid starts this second morning session by emphasizing the importance of perfect equality in our perception of the world, stating that no one is ahead or behind and that we should practice forgiveness by letting judgments come up and letting them go.David and Paulinha also emphasize the importance of the Holy Instant, which allows us to see our brothers and sisters in a new way. They underline that differences are judgments, and when we fall asleep, we forget God and heaven, leading to intense fear and chaos.The ego attempts to invent an identity to replace our Christ Spirit, and the spiritual journey involves letting the darkness come up from the unconscious mind and letting it go to the Holy Spirit. Communication is crucial in allowing the darkness to come up and go to the light, and mirroring is essential for releasing it. If you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and the Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://www.the-christ.net/eventsRecorded, Morning December 14, 2024, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Opening Session, Brazil Weekend Retreat, Mosteiro Itaici, Sao Paulo with David Hoffmeister and Paulinha OliveiraThis Brazil weekend retreat is a practical opportunity to experience the deep presence of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, allowing us to deepen our faith and trust. The theme of the Holy Instant is explored, as it is difficult for humans to accept holiness in a world of linear time. The Holy Spirit helps us see the whole picture, allowing us to call and forgive ourselves and walk day by day, moment by moment, in trust.If you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and the Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://www.the-christ.net/eventsRecorded, December 13, 2024, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

We can only heal ourselves. As we accept the Atonement for ourselves, and the Holy Instant of total suspension of our "attack thoughts," we can accept the healing that the Christ offers us. If we wish only to be healed, we heal. But if we are afraid of healing, we will not have it. We have to "love without attack" if only for an instant.  Fear and attack go together. Conflict is their nature. We do not need to be totally free of all conflict to be healed. If we had no conflict we would not need healing. Yet, for a Holy Instant we must suspend conflict and attack in order to receive Christ's vision and gift of healing. A Holy Instant is sufficient. It is necessary for our healing.  Having accepted healing for ourselves wholeheartedly, we have the potential to shine this healing light onto others. It can undo all the war and conflict the world is caught in, and offer healing to all the people in this world of strife. In the Holy Instant there is a blessing we receive and give. We bless the world because we bless ourselves first with the miracle of healing. We let in the part of our mind that is Christ's healing Force. It is already within us, and we have to call upon this Energy for our own healing. Then we become an "Example of Healing" that this Section V talks about. 

The QUIET ANSWER comes from our Divine Connection. In the Will of God, there are no problems that cannot be solved, and solved immediately, once and for all. The "one problem," an imagined "separation" from our Source, has not really occurred, therefore it has already been "solved." But we have to use a different thought system to accept this Answer. The Holy Instant is invoked to give us this Answer, and we must be willing to receive it, otherwise we reject the real Answer and ask questions that do not want the Answer. Let us recognize our problems have one Answer, and in this Peace and Quiet we can receive the solution that resolves all of our problems at once. The end of Separation simply means we accept our Divine Connection as our only reality, we recognize that Peace is the Answer, and God bestows that Answer on us when we are ready to receive it.

Ego-based “special” relationships keep us in a hell of our own design. The holy instant lets us rise to heaven in our awareness. One is sickening and the other is healing. This week, Jennifer shares how to be vigilant for God in choosing the holy instant over the special relationship. To learn more about A Course in Miracles, please visit JenniferHadley.com.

David and Urpi share the adventure to Be in the Holy Instant, the Present Moment. The gift of Guidance from the Holy Spirit is to allow the puppet of the body to be used for communication and shining the Light of God. Let all things be exactly as they are, a forgiven world, a happy dream, a Joy of remembering God.

This episode reviews what our egos struggle with and why we are attached to bodies. The Attraction of God is lost when we are focused on others bodies and not what they truly are. They are our brothers and sisters, and our Creator wants us to remember them. God will be remembered and understood once we remove the distractions of this world and everything the ego is attached to.Thanks for listeningemail: trifectanow3@gmail.comAlways Love, Denyse

How also to become willing to have a Holy Instant?

What is the World?The world is false perception. It is born of error, and it has not left its source. It will remain no longer than the thought that gave it birth is cherished. When the thought of separation has been changed to one of true forgiveness, will the world be seen in quite another light; and one which leads to truth, where all the world must disappear and all its errors vanish. Now its source has gone, and its effects are gone as well.The world was made as an attack on God. It symbolizes fear. And what is fear except love's absence? Thus the world was meant to be a place where God could enter not, and where His Son could be apart from Him. Here was perception born, for knowledge could not cause such insane thoughts. But eyes deceive, and ears hear falsely. Now mistakes become quite possible, for certainty has gone.The mechanisms of illusion have been born instead. And now they go to find what has been given them to seek. Their aim is to fulfill the purpose which the world was made to witness and make real. They see in its illusions but a solid base where truth exists, upheld apart from lies. Yet everything that they report is but illusion which is kept apart from truth.As sight was made to lead away from truth, it can be redirected. Sounds become the call of God, and all perception can be given a new purpose by the One Whom God appointed Savior to the world. Follow His Light, and see the world as He beholds it. Hear His Voice alone in all that speaks to you. And let Him give you peace and certainty, which you have thrown away, but Heaven has preserved for you in Him.Let us not rest content until the world has joined our changed perception. Let us not be satisfied until forgiveness has been made complete. And let us not attempt to change our function. We must save the world. For we who made it must behold it through the eyes of Christ, that what was made to die can be restored to everlasting life.LESSON 241This Holy Instant Is Salvation Come.What joy there is today! It is a time of special celebration. For today holds out the instant to the darkened world where its release is set. The day has come when sorrows pass away and pain is gone. The glory of salvation dawns today upon a world set free. This is the time of hope for countless millions. They will be united now, as you forgive them all. For I will be forgiven by you today.We have forgiven one another now, and so we come at last to You again. Father, Your Son, who never left, returns to Heaven and his home. How glad are we to have our sanity restored to us, and to remember that we all are one.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

This episode talks about The Holy Instant and its importance in understanding our Special Relationships. The Holy Instant gives us the opportunity to re-set our thinking and understanding of how we are connected to one another. It opens our hearts and minds up to the moment we are in, and the oneness that we share.Thanks for listeningemail: trifectanow3@gmail.comAlways Love,Denyse

Go beyond all body thoughts to the Divine Mind created by God. The Healed Relationship is a sharing that all minds are joined as One. Let me not forget my Purpose, to see the world of past images and look beyond to the Light of Christ.

LESSON 227This Is My Holy Instant Of Release.Father, it is today that I am free, because my will is Yours. I thought to make another will. Yet nothing that I thought apart from You exists. And I am free because I was mistaken, and did not affect my own reality at all by my illusions. Now I give them up, and lay them down before the feet of truth, to be removed forever from my mind. This is my holy instant of release. Father, I know my will is one with Yours.And so today we find our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left. The Son of God this day lays down his dreams. The Son of God this day comes home again, released from sin and clad in holiness, with his right mind restored to him at last.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

“Forgiveness and Awakening: Embracing the Holy Instant” - A Tribe of Christ Movie Commentary In chapter 16 of A Course of Miracles, Jesus teaches us that the symbols of hate and love play out a conflict that does not exist, where symbols stand for something else. The symbol of love is without meaning if love is everything. Jesus teaches us that we cannot be content with symbols because there is an actuality of love and truth that has no opposites. As long as we perceive opposites, we are perceiving with the ego. The Holy Spirit uses these symbols of love to show us that there is more than just love. The movie exposes the belief in private thoughts and their connection to private bodies, which are seen as acceptable in this world. Jesus calls us to share perfect communication and make the Holy Instant ours at once. The truth is simple, and complexity is the ego's attempt to obscure the obvious. The Holy Instant is when you receive and give perfect communication, but it requires openness to receive and give. False thinking in terms of bodies, past, and future generates guilt and makes us feel unworthy of the light of the present moment.

The Little Willingness is only our desire to have the Holy Instant above all else, and our acceptance of the fact that we are asked to give only this "little willingness" for it to be what it is without our interference. We need not "prepare ourselves" for the Holy Instant to be given to us. The Holy Spirit's strength is given, and we are only required to receive it. Our "shadows" may still surround the situation, but it is the Holy Spirit's job, not ours, to shine away these "shadows." We are already worthy to receive the Holy Instant. The power of God's Will works through the Holy Spirit and the Holy Instant. The Holy Instant IS THE CORRECTION. We need not prepare for it or make ourselves pure enough to receive it. This is God's job, not ours. We combine our "little willingness" with the unlimited Power of God's Will. This worthiness to receive is all we need to accept, and add nothing more on our part. We are ready now to receive this great gift.

What are the conditions for Peace? The Holy Instant is the main condition in which Peace would be the result. It is what every situation should hold as its true meaning. The Holy Instant provides the meaning of every relationship, seen as a Whole. A situation of Perfect Peace is the result because we allow it to be exactly as it is. The Holy Instant is free of all fear, judgment, problems, and guilt or anger. Let TRUTH be what it is. This would have to usher forth peace and joy. Happiness is a condition for Peace. One cannot lack Happiness and be at Peace. What is in us that would attract anything less than Pure Joy? The correction of error is our responsibility. What is in us that needs to change? We can make this change happen swiftly, and clean up ourselves within, when we take responsibility 100% for our results. This is the place where the "conditions of peace" are met. FAITH, not "faithlessness" is what we use to allow the Holy Spirit's Purpose to be made manifest in us.

"Forgiveness and Awakening:  Embracing the Holy Instant" - Movie Commentary by David HoffmeisterThe Saturday Movie Workshop presents a fantastic film that opens us to the Holy Instant and God's love through relationships. It uses the metaphor of interpersonal relationships and the Holy Spirit to help us understand the truth of Life and the importance of relationships.The film uses the symbol of interpersonal relationships to take us beyond the personal perception of things and toward the vast perspective of the Holy Spirit. Right-minded seeing, which is the residence of the Holy Spirit, can only see love. When giving ourselves over to spiritual awakening, we want the perspective of the Holy Spirit, which is what forgiveness is. Jesus does not see error, and we must raise our minds to the light and cleanse our minds of erroneous ego beliefs so that we can see with the vision of Christ and the light of truth. We need the Holy Spirit and Jesus to help us separate the true from the false because human perception combines right-minded and wrong-minded perceptions.To participate online in a Tribe of Christ Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/products/communities/tribe-of-christIf you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded, June 15, 2024, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

The Special Relationship prevents us from being in the present. The past, full of illusions of conditions that did not meet our expectations, is projected onto the Special Relationship and usually ends in "disappointment." This leads to upset, attack thoughts, and basically "vengeance," the opposite of the Peace of God. How can we end the illusion of the past and be in the truth of the present? We ask for the Holy Instant that liberates us from the illusions of the past, and our judgments of the present. Ask to join with the Holy Spirit in this instant of liberation. This instant is the awareness that God's Will for us NOW is only perfect happiness. Can we make this Happiness our only function to be and realize? The Gifts of God are in this present moment. The past is gone, and only Relationships founded on this present joy are real. AMEN.

Our attraction to God is undeniable. It is a natural longing to return to our true home, to the place where we know we belong. Holy Vision is the state of seeing ourselves and others "beyond the body," as the Great Rays of our true Self. This Vision of Holiness shows us our unlimited reality. Limitations are of the body, and we have to rise above the attachments we have to thought and our body. These attachments are blocking our Holy Vision of the Great Rays. Gratifications and pleasures of the body divert our attention away from Holy Vision. Heaven is the state of being that is Pure Joy, Perfect Happiness, not bound by "limitations," free of fear, guilt or anger, in a constant contact with the Love of God.

Our Holy Relationship with the HOLY SPIRIT, the Christ, and with GOD is the only real Relationship. All of our Relationships in life depend on the right mindedness we establish in this Holy Relationship. We are redeemed when we are free of our ego's voice of littleness, and we are listening to the voice of our Higher Self that is in Communication with our Creator. God gives us the entire Sonship, so everyone is in our universal “Brotherhood" that JOINS us in the Christ Consciousness. DIVINE LOVE is the whole basis for Love. Our "special relationships" are transformed into holy ones with the DIVINE LOVE brought to our attention by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Instant is the means by which we enter into this sacred dimension. There is no "separation," therefore, our Minds are returned to communication with our Creator which is the only Real Relationship.

THE LAWS OF GOD would make every relationship Whole. Each one may be unique, but one is not more Holy than another. The faith in our brothers is total. Each brother is worthy of our reverence. Everyone has his or her own perfection. Holiness is shared, and we gain the Strength of God when we are looking toward the Perfection of each person. Everyone is deserving of God's Love, and to have the strength of God we cannot hold anyone "outside" the scope of God's Grace. God is the Strength in which I trust, and the Idea I am holding about myself can be changed. I can change the idea of being "weak" for the divine idea of my sacred strength. We unite the Idea of Perfection with our own perception of our Holy Self. This is the Freedom to be who God created us to be. We are the Holy Sons and Daughters of God. This is God's Law in truth.

This Section shows us how much we have made our relationships into special ones, and that we use the past to judge the value of our relationships based on our projected expectations that fill our own "needs." We obligate people to us, and then judge the relationship based on whether they are fulfilling these special needs or not. God makes no one special, so why do we? Do we think our needs are not met by our Creator? Do we seek this dependence on people we have made special, demanding they fill our needs? Is it possible to share the Holy Instant with the people in our Life to discover and express Divine Joy? The Holy Instant removes the "specialness," and purifies these relationships into Holy ones. We can let go of our "imagined needs" and ask for only what God wants for us—which is "perfect happiness."

THE HOLY INSTANT is here now to give us our Magnificence. Yet, we have to let go of all of our thoughts of "limitation" from the ego. The ego would like us to believe it takes time to "improve ourselves." We already are in our Magnificence in truth, but we have made such a case for our "littleness" that we do not think it is possible to leap into this Heaven of our true Self immediately. We are addicted to the "denial of Who we are as God created us." The ego postpones the Holy Instant because we are "arrogant" in insisting upon our own plan that is a substitute for God's Plan. We want our "familiar hell" instead of our “unfamiliar Heaven." We are afraid of the Unknown, and the Holy Instant, before we accept it, is Unknown. Can we give up the plans we "know" that do not actually "improve our life?" Can we let this go, and accept the Holy Instant instead? We have free will to do so. It takes our "willingness," not "time," to accept this Plan of the Holy Instant. We must practice accepting it.

The Holy Instant transcends time and doubt. We are given the Atonement to erase the limitations of time we have placed on our "awakening process." It appears it takes "time" to wake up, but the instant offered to the Holy Spirit is offered to God on our behalf. We let go of all our past learning. TRUTH is outside of time, and happens all at Once. We do not use the "work" we do to postpone this flash of the Holy Instant. The laws of time do not apply. The Holy Instant is just that—a moment that is NOW> TOTAL LIBERATION does not take time. It can happen in a flash when we let go of all the preoccupations to "make ourselves enlightened" by the modes we have used to “awaken ourselves." We are grateful to have the TEACHERS who represent to Holy Spirit in our lives. Their teachings are “outside of time.” We are grateful to have Them, and the means to wake up in a hurry. AMEN.  

WHAT IS TIME? How do we use it? Is it fraught with regret of the past and dread or fear of the future?Do we fear the future will bring death and disaster? The ego uses time to reinforce fear, guilt, death and hell; the Holy Spirit uses time to establish Love, Innocence, Immortality and Heaven. The Holy Instant can get us there, but we have to use time in a different way. Heaven and Immortality are the Holy Spirit's goal. Hell and Death are the ego's goal. The ego uses dissociation to keep its contradictions alive in time—guilt is eternal in its view. The ego pursues us beyond the grave—it offers us “immortality in hell." This insanity is dissolved for good in this Holy Instant. The cornerstone of the Holy Spirit is your eternal innocence. Love is your true nature, and this Holy Instant puts us immediately in Heaven. It takes no long drawn out process. It is here NOW. NOW is the time we enter into the Present. Only Heaven is here, without a past or a future. Continual "instants" of the Holy Instant keep our future clean and promising. What comes to us anew is anticipating the Heaven we are feeling now in our perfect happiness. Immortality of Joy in the present is just a “string of delightful Holy Instants,” the only time there is. AMEN

Why do we hang onto the "guilt" we maintain from past mistakes. We have a saying--"Keep no records of wrongdoing." The Atonement stands brightly and clearly in this Holy Instant in the present. God created us Innocent, regardless of our past mistakes. We need not hang onto the "guilt" of wrongdoing from the past. The past is over. And the Self God created did not make the errors in the first place. Can we Identify with our True Self? In this acceptance we are absolved of all past "guilt" we thought we deserved. The Holy Instant is NOW. We do not keep records of wrongdoing. The guilt is "false," therefore guilt does not really exist. AMEN.

Can we totally bring our awareness into the Present? Can we let go of all the images we have held on to from our past? The only real time is the Present, and the Light of our true Self is here. "No cloud of guilt" is held onto in our clinging to the past. We let the past go. Christ's Vision is only in the Present. With no past and no future, we are aware of this Holy Instant now. We are only in the Present, and the continuity of God's Peace and Joy in only here. It does not have a "past” regret, image, or projection...and it does not have a "future" into which these negative ways of seeings are projected. To be "born again" is to simply be in the Present without all the images of our past. We are Present in our Divine Truth that we always had, but we have to want to let the past go, and be ready to experience this Heaven on Earth Now. These are Eternal, Timeless states of Being. The Holy Spirit holds this out for us to receive NOW.

"Never approach the holy instant after you have tried to remove all fear and hatred from your mind. ²That is its function. ³Never attempt to overlook your guilt before you ask the Holy Spirit's help. ⁴That is His function. ⁵Your part is only to offer Him a little willingness to let Him remove all fear and hatred, and to be forgiven."

FINAL LESSONSIntroductionOur final lessons will be left as free of words as possible. We use them but at the beginning of our practicing, and only to remind us that we seek to go beyond them. Let us turn to Him Who leads the way and makes our footsteps sure. To Him we leave these lessons, as to Him we give our lives henceforth. For we would not return again to the belief in sin that made the world seem ugly and unsafe, attacking and destroying, dangerous in all its ways, and treacherous beyond the hope of trust and the escape from pain. His is the only way to find the peace that God has given us. It is His way that everyone must travel in the end, because it is this ending God Himself appointed. In the dream of time it seems to be far off. And yet, in truth, it is already here; already serving us as gracious guidance in the way to go. Let us together follow in the way that truth points out to us. And let us be the leaders of our many brothers who are seeking for the way, but find it not. And to this purpose let us dedicate our minds, directing all our thoughts to serve the function of salvation. Unto us the aim is given to forgive the world. It is the goal that God has given us. It is His ending to the dream we seek, and not our own. For all that we forgive we will not fail to recognize as part of God Himself. And thus His memory is given back, completely and complete. It is our function to remember Him on earth, as it is given us to be His Own completion in reality. So let us not forget our goal is shared, for it is that remembrance which contains the memory of God, and points the way to Him and to the Heaven of His peace. And shall we not forgive our brother, who can offer this to us? He is the way, the truth and life that shows the way to us. In him resides salvation, offered us through our forgiveness, given unto him. We will not end this year without the gift our Father promised to His holy Son. We are forgiven now. And we are saved from all the wrath we thought belonged to God, and found it was a dream. We are restored to sanity, in which we understand that anger is insane, attack is mad, and vengeance merely foolish fantasy. We have been saved from wrath because we learned we were mistaken. Nothing more than that. And is a father angry at his son because he failed to understand the truth? We come in honesty to God and say we did not understand, and ask Him to help us to learn His lessons, through the Voice of His Own Teacher. Would He hurt His Son? Or would He rush to answer him, and say, "This is My Son, and all I have is his"? Be certain He will answer thus, for these are His Own Words to you. And more than that can no one ever have, for in these Words is all there is, and all that there will be throughout all time and in eternity. This holy instant would I give to You. Be You in charge. For I would follow You, Certain that Your direction gives me Peace. And if I need a word to help me, He will give it to me. If I need a thought, that will He also give. And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the gifts I will receive of Him. He is in charge by my request. And He will hear and answer me, because He speaks for God my Father and His holy Son.Jesus Christ in A Course in MiraclesWorkbook Part II, Final lessons, IntroductionLesson 361

"You make it difficult, because you insist there must be more that you need do. ³You find it difficult to accept the idea that you need give so little, to receive so much. ⁴And it is very hard for you to realize it is not personally insulting that your contribution and the Holy Spirit's are so extremely disproportionate. ⁵You are still convinced that your understanding is a powerful contribution to the truth, and makes it what it is. ⁶Yet we have emphasized that you need understand nothing. ⁷Salvation is easy just because it asks nothing you cannot give right now.

What is the World? The world is false perception. It is born of error, and it has not left its source. It will remain no longer than the thought that gave it birth is cherished. When the thought of separation has been changed to one of true forgiveness, will the world be seen in quite another light; and one which leads to truth, where all the world must disappear and all its errors vanish. Now its source has gone, and its effects are gone as well. The world was made as an attack on God. It symbolizes fear. And what is fear except love's absence? Thus the world was meant to be a place where God could enter not, and where His Son could be apart from Him. Here was perception born, for knowledge could not cause such insane thoughts. But eyes deceive, and ears hear falsely. Now mistakes become quite possible, for certainty has gone. The mechanisms of illusion have been born instead. And now they go to find what has been given them to seek. Their aim is to fulfill the purpose which the world was made to witness and make real. They see in its illusions but a solid base where truth exists, upheld apart from lies. Yet everything that they report is but illusion which is kept apart from truth. As sight was made to lead away from truth, it can be redirected. Sounds become the call of God, and all perception can be given a new purpose by the One Whom God appointed Savior to the world. Follow His Light, and see the world as He beholds it. Hear His Voice alone in all that speaks to you. And let Him give you peace and certainty, which you have thrown away, but Heaven has preserved for you in Him. Let us not rest content until the world has joined our changed perception. Let us not be satisfied until forgiveness has been made complete. And let us not attempt to change our function. We must save the world. For we who made it must behold it through the eyes of Christ, that what was made to die can be restored to everlasting life. . This holy instant is salvation come. What joy there is today! It is a time of special celebration. For today holds out the instant to the darkened world where its release is set. The day has come when sorrows pass away and pain is gone. The glory of salvation dawns today upon a world set free. This is the time of hope for countless millions. They will be united now, as you forgive them all. For I will be forgiven by you today. We have forgiven one another now, and so we come at last to You again. Father, Your Son, who never left, returns to Heaven and his home. How glad are we to have our sanity restored to us, and to remember that we all are one.Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles,Workbook Part II, What is the world?Lesson 241

Being okay with not knowing what's coming "next" - I know you've got me! - Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister."Being okay with not knowing what's coming next. I know you've got me." How's that for a theme? If you go into this theme, you will have less interest in world events because you're not so interested in what's coming next. Your question is not how will it end, but how do I feel right now? That's a more practical question. Jesus likes being practical. How do I feel now? That is beautiful. He's saying let go of your past learning. Just stay with me, step by step. I got you. He called me, and He answered, "Yes, I do. I have got you. And I will guide you step by step.

"-Dr. James Hughes Reho, 'Tantric Jesus'The gravest error man can make is 'man on earth and God in heaven. Me here, God there.'
