Illusion, Forgiveness, and Reality
Transcript
so today one of the key words that people throughout there's love forgiveness moving forward and you know all the words that were sent out there and folks online are also sending in some words on they just told me what those were so we'll weave that into something today where we'll begin is this there is no when we talk about infinite God being infinite and so on there is also like no limit to the number of illusions that we get ourselves into all the things you can imagine doing it doesn't matter if
they seem like good things or bad things they're all illusions mankind believes that they're separate from something even if you don't think you believe in God deep inside we feel a core of something's not quite right whether that takes the form of psychosis lack fear loneliness it's all the same we all know something's not quite right or as I often put it Toto we're not in Kansas anymore we all know something's not quite right that's why people are depressed they keep labeling people as
depressed and then drugging the heck out of them saying as long as you take this you know you'll stand a chance where in fact it increases the odds of you killing yourself for that matter it's theirs and even that's messed up but yet the people that are trying to drug you from being depressed they have no answer so they're scared because if I were put in charge of having to fix all the people that are so desperately dealing with mental illness and I had the decision give him a quick pill or try to
actually work with every one of them one on one which one's the only one you can do time wise but humanity interest wise they don't even have an interest in - they don't know how what are we gonna do talk about God no they don't believe in that many of them you know don't believe in that but it seems inappropriate in the worlds of you know professional psychiatry and so on so what are you gonna do talk about their deepest and issues that takes time and some of them don't want to take that time let
alone know how so it's a very messed up world but as Einstein says it's you can't fix it with the same mind that created it and people keep trying to fix the world the messed up world with messed up minds hey I have a messed up opinion on what you could do about that messed up situation none of us would go oh please share but that's how this world is run it's called politics it's called medicine now Jesus in A Course in Miracles is a little bit facetious about this this is my wording for it anyway but he says you know you
folks strive you fight to collect pieces of paper to put in your wallet you actually get excited when you find shimmering little coins you see and he's talking about and and for that matter you know you think that a pill makes you feel better little choc like objects that you pop it go hmm now I am better you are the I am that started believing that I am NOT I am doesn't need a pill or a coin sadly we forgot Who I am and therefore I now believe I am NOT I am not needs a lot of pills a lot of drugs okay a lot of pills are you're gonna
need all kinds of things and I don't just mean even the negative ones thinking that you need anyone or anything and even thinking you need God up in the sky is some form of an illusion still but there are happy dreams versus nightmares so there's nothing wrong with having happy dreams just don't believe that it's the totality don't believe that it's all the way home and when things are going a bit off in Our Lives you know you could look at it as if only I could get one more thing to be perfect you know what you're
really trying to do there you're trying to make this into a place that it is not you're trying to make the I am NOT into the I am and you cannot do that it already is I am NOT you can't make your ego holy it cannot will not happen for all kinds of reasons not the least of which is because the ego doesn't actually exist it's a made-up thing that's all it is it's a virus that entered your mind computer and it just needs quarantine and then delete it that's all that's all it is
you don't go how can I make this virus into a more friendly virus it's not how the ego works it hasn't the ego is our desire to not be holy so you can't have both when you choose your holiness again our holiness again the ego by default has to cease to exist because it's a choice that I've made which voice would I like to listen to and we do all kinds of things to what we call in the nightmare drugging and drinking and so on and so on you know and and harming each other war and taking things out on
each other I don't I don't it could be two people in a household it doesn't have to be nations it's all the same it's all based on fear it's all based on hurt it's all based on hate and people then taking their stuff out on others all the greed you know and so forth in the world it's so bizarre I could get could make you a quick list of all the things that I think are disturbing on this planet but thou shalt not fight you know do not resist evil don't try to don't try to become afraid and then
fight the things that made you afraid you have to do something else and that's where the word forgiveness will come in but this isn't the guy up here who's gonna start telling you oh honey you need to just forgive Oh someone destroyed your life just let it go or someone just you know brutalized almost killed you well just move forward move on get over it that's not me not at all but I'm also not the opposite go get them get them back you know it's not that either there's forgiveness is
in the middle of what everybody perceives it to be and we'll come back to that in a sec so we look at life and we think you know well what about if everything would go well what if I got a raise and could live in exactly the neighborhood I always dreamt of living it's still illusion all of it's an illusion which is why Buddha explained the pain you're gonna be in he's explaining you're gonna be in pain on this planet for the following reasons one because you forgot who you are which is what I've already said here he said
he said so long ago 2500 years ago you forgot who you are then he says now what you're gonna do is because you forgot who you are you're gonna go out looking for something to make up for that and when you find something you're gonna find it won't last and then you're gonna end up miserable because whatever you found didn't last and now you crash even more so and he's also if you look at the that that that Genesis if you want to call it that if you want to look at that progression or digression you're hearing
also the definition of addiction something's off I'm gonna fix it something didn't fix it I'm gonna try it again and now you're on a roll of addiction and now if it even worked at all which it never did all it did was make you out of it so that you didn't notice your pain as much but you didn't not have pain you just numbed you know one way or another you either stimulate or sedate it's always stimulating sad eh now what am i describing well the kinds of drugs that stimulate or sedate you
but I'm also talking about people in your life I love being around them why they're so so stimulating to what I need or sedating the stimulating people are often the ones you married you know they were stimulating for a day and a half and then when the honeymoons over you now are needing another stimulant so now you'll have a fling to make up for that and on and on and on or you need sedated you know and this world oh yeah with this world we have you need a lot of sedation watch the news and you need
sedated you know listen to friends and the stuff that goes on in this plan and you need sedated that's the way we live life and we think if I can just get through till what you come back and do it again in more stimulation and sedation you're gonna need there's this solution but you have to shift from focusing on illusions to forgiving and when you forgive you're practicing the forgiveness of all the things you thought could stimulate you into happiness or sedate you from unhappiness that's what you got to forgive who am i
forgiving all those who stimulated me you think that's what we're talking about and that's the first step that's the first step for sure you know when you would technically when you think about it and you say well I have to forgive this person whoever you may name in people you need to forgive they're always someone that stimulated or sedate it's the data doesn't just mean a nice sedation it means dropped you or tossed you it's always one extreme or the other you thought they were bringing you your
Center they cannot bring you your Center your Center is only found between your communion with you and God you actually cannot find anything outside yourself I am I'm saying it's actually impossible why because there is no outside it's a movie screen it's a holographic movie screen so you can say but I like some of that I'd like rainbows and butterflies you can't tell me there's something wrong with that I didn't say there's anything wrong I said it's not there there's nothing
wrong with the butterflies this is something wrong with you because you think you see butterflies and rainbows and you think you're happy when you see them and then you think you're not happy when you don't see him which is called addiction I need my drug I would be happy if only there were butterflies I would be happy if only my wife would come back to me I would be happy if only my mother would apologize all on the outside and then you so you learn eventually to say it's time to forgive all those who stimulated meaning promise
to be great things and didn't deliver or stimulated me to a point where I lost myself or the others the sedation's all those who dropped me all those who made me feel hurt depressed sad lonely I have to forget forgive both of those extremes but then I eventually start working on forgiving myself why first of all for being so anointed all these people that is kind of I was off I was annoyed I forgive myself but I also want to need to forgive myself for believing I ever even needed to stimulation and sedation so
what I'm doing there if you listen carefully is you're retiring people from the roles that you co-created with them yeah they stepped in and played like they were going to do the role but you also sign the contract you seem like somebody that makes me feel wonderful one year later five years later even if they didn't do anything wrong and they just died in your heart broke and you're devastated I can't live if living is without you still are addicted to them you're attached to them you found
something that you thought was gonna make you a better person or your day a better day you were mistaken there are no other people so you forgive others for what they actually did and then you shift it to I forgive them for what they didn't do then I go to me I forgive myself for what I believe I've done oh good and then I have to forgive myself for what I didn't do at the end of the day there will be a point where I recognize I don't feel any need to forgive anyone that's enlightenment enlightenment doesn't come from just one
more discipline oh I know what I need to do I need to not eat for 40 days and 40 nights because Jesus did that he did it so you wouldn't have to he's a part of you I need to get on the cross you know like my mother and just talk about how much I've done for everybody know Jesus already did that Jesus like that would all be kind of you know redundant I've already done all this stuff you don't have to do anything else I've got a resurrect from the dead you don't have to do anything forgive yourself for
thinking you could die forgive yourself that's all forgive yourself for needing to get on the cross forgive yourself for judging your mother who will always live like she was on the cross I'm just making up examples right forgive forgive all all of that forgiveness is the key but humans don't do that humans I got a I got a faster 40 days 40 that's what I got to do you know somebody just told me if you read enough of this if you do enough of that I mean if you think about it I'll try not to name names but if you
think of the ludicrous things first of all there's the naughty things we do to distract it to steer away from love God wholeness you know we do a lot of self-destructive things and destructive to others but then we also come up with I'm not like that anymore I found spirituality and then think about it how many things the spiritual people do to to be enlightened if they look at the headdresses the techniques you know the chanting the gutter or you know the the all money podnies and the nam-myoho-renge-kyo you know that all
these different things I mean it's like it's almost like it's some sort of spiritual Riverdance you know you know it's like you do sorry um it's like what the spirits looking at this going what are they doing like there's no end there's no end I had students of mine students that were sort of friends and and I've had on more than one occasion like I remember one said we're sitting down to have something to eat and then they were saying Michael you know cuz cuz you're really deeply spiritual I
observe you know what you're doing and I notice your your put your your like your fingers together before you had meal you know you were doing something with your like hand mudras but and this person said and being in acupuncture is I'm curious because was it you were you stimulating like stomach meridians digestive juices what what were you doing I said I had a stinking splinter in my hand dude I just pledged I was like oh and they're like oh you know it's like you know people that are blessing the evil out of
their food just eat just eat I don't do a lot of ceremonial ritual kinds of things it's in here I'm not saying don't do any but I'm saying when you do to experience then you can't experience because you're doing too much feel it if everybody sat at a table and said Michael we would like to bless food I'm gonna bless the food if you tell me let's hold our hands over there and bless it let's bless it I don't have a problem with it at all but I don't try to fight the evil in the food Lord Lord
of the hell Archangel Michael kill the evil within this pasta that I know wants to reach from my bowl and strangle me I know it this evil that's not me at all it's be the change you would like to see in the world I totally believe that that you will gravitate towards foods that are more right for you and I don't think you're gonna gravitate you know God I'm having such amazing meditations and sense of that oneness what I need right now is a burger and some cocaine I don't think that's usually the outcome if it
is the outcome for you great I don't care that's fine sprinkle the coke on your gamma burger I don't you know I I'm not gonna judge you for what I do know is Center into God and all else will follow and I do believe the following will go towards towards healthier diets and that sort of thing but also man if it doesn't change your behaviors if it doesn't make you a more loving person then what value is there so I don't mind doing blessings I don't mind you know these kinds of things it's but it's the
mind in the heart I don't mean the intellectual mind I mean the consciousness your awareness and the heart those are the things that have to be attuned to God ring all the bowls you want but if you ring the bowls going thank God I can wring this bowl cuz man you know I still hate everybody but the bowl ring is gonna really help things out it doesn't you just you know you miss it it's about love we shift from illusions into forgiveness and the forgiveness forgiveness brings us reality you can't just go from illusion
to reality you can't pray it you can't ritual it it's illusion to reality that's the bottom line I have to empty my cup to refill my cup oh that's great that's very philosophical very zen-like we've heard that in many kinds of Cowen's or or proverbs of different kinds of different cultures empty the cup refill the cup but most of them didn't explain how well you must empty your cup you must forget all you learned how so that you can be retaught how so that so that's a great they don't
explain how and the only way is forgiveness the only way to empty my cup is actually to forgive what was in it oh look at that there's a little cyanide what is that cyanide in the cup you know what I need I'm just gonna pour more water into the cyanide mmm now I have water down death so there's still poison in the cup how do I get the poison out the poison is the toxicity of hurt I'm not saying you're wrong or bad for hurting I'm saying what how's it working for you what are you gonna do with it
well I'm gonna keep it well okay I I don't leave somebody told me and I'm gonna keep it forever good okay that's fine I have no problem with it I know that all things work towards the greater good somehow someway they can hurt and hate and somehow it's going to break something's going to break them down the easy way or the hard way we can open up like a flower or you can get out a hammer and chisel the hammer and the chisel is I refuse to let this issue go I refuse to forgive them for what they did
and again misunderstanding what forgiveness is you're not being told to enable and support what people did you're not supposed to say you know maybe the Holocaust was okay after you're not asked to say ludicrous things or believe ludicrous things hurt and hate what are they well I need to just forgive them for what they did it's not so much like that it's I'm going to change the world and how I see the world and it's one day at a time one action at a time so there's a bit of a process to it but in a nutshell
you've heard me say many times first refuse to hate them I know I'm not gonna refuse to hate them I doing them not a problem I'm telling you with every fiber of my being you're eventually not going to insist on hating them now you can wait five more lifetimes married to them by the way you know it was just your your sister-in-law this lifetime wait'll they come back as your husband or your wife because the universe gets a kick out of that so they had this person and this person annoyed them hmm how could we make this more
irresistible inescapable oh how about I do you know let's put them together twins you know share the womb let's let's you know ding ding like a boxing man let's just start it right off so then sibling rivalry and if not then they'll come back the next life as your partner and so on the universe is gonna just all towards good somehow but it's the easy way or the hard way now we can't think of that as being like the universe is going to force us to forgive it's not going to force it's you and I in the
core of our being want to be home we want to be back in our divinity so this isn't fate karma God angels that are like forcing these instances of us having to heal stuff understand it is your soul that wants it your soul wants love more than it wants fear but your ego wants fear more than it once loved so to shift from fear to love forgiveness once we taste the love we're like oh my god I can't believe eight lifetimes I held on to that six months I held on to any amount of time is too much when you taste the effects of
getting over that bridge to love that's why the ego is so tenacious about not letting us even taste what love tastes like that's why it's so just focused on obsessed on finding a way to distract you can hear a talk like this on forgiveness tonight you'll have a dream about somebody you don't want to forget because the ego does not want you going this really makes sense I'm gonna start practicing forgiveness it's not like the ego goes oh okay I'll just leave it doesn't work that way the ego is the
part that thinks it thinks it's alive which it is and it's just a part of us that's afraid but this thing resist not evil means there's no evil to resist but when you do resist it you make an evil to resist and how could you why would you want to resist it if you didn't think it was powerful if you could realize I'm just gonna exhale out all thoughts of an ego look what would happen I'll just exhale and it's gone instead it has to make itself seem powerful so when it rises in its power
and says boo we go and we we cower we become afraid and that's where we have to recognize wait a minute let me breathe for a minute and recognize my reaction to that fearful behavior or words comments of somebody I saw that that's a pattern of mine what am I afraid of why when the phone rang did my stomach start to turn you know it happens sometimes you see on your phone to an alcohol or ID you know that sort of thing it can actually trigger us uh-oh it's them you know how many of us enjoy and assume
it's something good when you here open up police you know how many of us are okay with speeding along and then seeing a cop car you know we usually put our foot right to the brake cuz in inside we believe I'm flawed I must be speeding the guys you know the cops over there having lunch and we think he's gonna go oh look at them five miles over the speed them I'm just gonna put my lunch aside get in my car chase them down and arrest them rule in their life this is all the ego telling us you're horrible
and everything's out to get you that's what it does so be afraid be very afraid is the whole mantra of the ego so when you notice that compulsion that something's wrong it oh they're calling nervous stomach all of those are affirmations that we believe that something's wrong with us and something's out to get us so we have to learn to breathe and reprogram that in other words when the cop didn't get in the car and chase you down instead it just okay probably get me next time which is not the god voice to say to
yourself wow I just I saw what happened there when they called I assumed that was gonna be this when they did that I thought it I assumed I assumed didn't look at what's really happening and being able to say I was mistaken not all of them are out to get me but I'm gonna hold on to one or two that might you're allowed to do that but what I'm saying is one day one it's at the time one person at a time guys we have to retire them from being part of the evil army that's coming to destroy us there's one more that that's
decent Wow there's one where I talked about this with last week or the week before about rebuilding a new life you can't just hope that you're going to get a better life someday you have to rebuild it one brick of faith and clarity and centeredness at a time you build it but to do that you have to not only go for positive things like there's some people they tell you just think positive and it's gonna go that way you cannot build a great home new life on a foundation of quicksand you've got to
heal the insides you can't just put new fluid in the cup that you want to drink you have to empty the toxin out and that is a nice little dance you know I'm working building building new life new life new life oh wait something slipped off oh I better go back and do some inner work again do the inner work Oh brought up some other stuff some more work wow that was bigger than stuff than I thought and more work fills okay now back to rebuilding the new life it's this dance between those two healing and
spirituality spirituality is not healing healing is not automatically spirituality two different paths that weave together like the caduceus going up the spine the right hand path the left hand path both healing and spirituality weaving together and the healing makes room for the spirituality try to only chant yourself into bliss it's not going to work because I can chant Omani padmi low self-worth Omani padmi lows if I have low self-worth it's just gonna leak in there it's not just chanting yourself away with with the
undercurrent I'm unlovable you can sit there Bing old Ingham and if you believe I'm flawed I'm flawed I never did want to look at that old stuff so I'll just oh so I don't have to look at my stuff oh you know it doesn't work there's a moment of doing breath work body work counseling all of that to help make room if you really love God which we're saying is synonymous with spirit and spirituality then make room for God how more chanting no cry cry and let the tears make some room you know how to
make room in the body Oh some cultures they do this big sigh grunts like sigh it's like a morning oh you know and it's like death coming out of them and that's fantastic cry it out every bit of the that's not in the tears the drool the rage the hurt the memories all of those things make room you say you love God then get out of the way make room for God how those things cry and so even a sigh even a sigh you know the the the body that we wear we breathe and we hold in our lungs which imprints into our
bloodstream thoughts feelings so in a moment of I'm really angry right then even air becomes toxic because I'm angry and as my next breath comes in I'm actually toxifying every particle of the air that's entering it then is going to imprint into my bloodstream the hurt the rage the hate the acidity and the Bloods now toxic and it's going to just take that to every organ every gland every joint muscle system in this in the body just complete toxicity and also when I i'm also packing some of it up and
letting it out something as simple as breath proper breath to know what you're doing to be conscious of what we're doing the intention the clarity what is this stuff I I just it's not what I want to have you know I've had people that that resist making any sounds any any hurt any sadness they don't want to cry yet no I can't but what I love as soon as I hear them not make any sounds not any processing not any release I'll hear usually one thing at least and it'll be and I'll go good job they'll be like
what yeah good job because that's all they could give today but it was something of the death coming out and then when I say good job the next breath in was really and that's all they could do today but it was something out came something complement breathed in become something new my saying good job is rooted in now tell me I'm a wonderful counselor it's not real but when it's unconditional and you love people and you're really you really are intented on I'm here to help and you
say good job to them when you say you know you're really beautiful you're really you look great today why your or you know whatever it is your energy great hairdo I don't care what it is you can use even a compliment here's the compliment and it's going to simply be the vehicle on which love is going to ride into that person we were some of us were at this thing yesterday this event and you know and this is how I am and I but as a human being I still run into these issues sometimes but I saw say I
think a couple different people and I said man that that outfit looks really great on you I meant it that meant it there's no weirdness behind it at all I meant it but there's a part of me as a human that went I wonder if that's okay now Huck it off Michael you know you have to kind of catch yourself a ghost love let it be I know what I meant but I also am being sensitive to the fact that some people could take it wrongly let's call it well let others do as they may but as for me and mine we
will serve the Living God as an Old Testament quote so you know it's okay to be aware that other people might not want to hear certain things but jesus said when as apostles I'm paraphrasing when his apostles said you know Jesus you're healing people but some of them were used to being messed up why don't you just leave him alone and he said well you know good point but no he said I told you I'm paraphrasing you know he told them you know that yeah that's that's really great that's gonna
help a lot of people isn't it hi you seem messed up all to just leave you like that oh you're sick and I'll leave you like that you're unenlightened I'll leave you like that that's total enabling but it also does nothing but allows the ego in people the low self-worth to believe itself to be true so he says I am the light of the world wherever I go I'm gonna bring the light so you know if you've got some creepy things under a rock and the rock gets turned over so light can hit it that's
your problem but I'm bringing the light now I personally am not the type to kick down doors to bring the light because I'm not a fundamentalist emphasis on mental I'm not a fundamentalist of any kind I'm not a fundamental Buddhist amount of fundamental Krishna I'm not a fundamental 80s I'm not fundamental anything I like the fun part of fundamental so ease up lighten up you know let your religion as it were let it your religion be loved and not become a religion but let your your spiritual
path let it be love how can I be loving today now for me the form that takes is stealth stealth it's never have you heard the Word of God today instead it's going to be men that outfit looks great because something told me to say that I'm not saying something I don't believe it really does look nice especially if it's purples and blues I love those you know but apparently so you know but but it's like I mean it but spirit saying tell that person to have a good day it could be that simple and you understand
that person might have this pattern nobody cares nobody cares nobody care have a nice day now all you can do is your work they still have to absorb you cared enough to say have a nice day some people will not they'll go yeah whatever and they shut it out but all the good you've ever done surrounds people like an aura of light all the good you've ever done they'll either absorb now or they'll absorb it later now check this out all of the good you've ever done men you look great today oh thank
you for showing me that art that you did because it is incredible where did you learn to do that all the compliments all the love I'm sending you prayers about your lost loved one whatever it is all the good you have ever done it becomes an energy from you just like your breath of life it comes to another it surrounds them they can then breathe it in or lock it out but what's amazing is love I'm knocking at the door you're right I knock and you have to open the door so I am knocking at the door here's love now
always knocking at the door those people the more they force it would keep it away shielded away okay stay back stay back love love love love stay back stay back stay back nobody really cares they always want something from you all those hurts and wounds it's harder and harder for me to fight the love because the light love isn't fighting it's just presence and I know it's there I can hear it knocking how my conscience it one radio show said something a TV show said something else and my dream I have it's picking away
saying it's okay to allow people in it's okay to be loved yeah but they're gonna yeah some of a might but this one didn't yeah but I'm watching them it's probably just a matter of time okay then then love's gonna say then you just keep your eyes on them okay cuz I will and it'll say but but while you're keeping an eye on them how do you feel well better but you know I'm watching and then one more nice person and one more nice comment and people change people change and I've had many
instances I can't say it's always fun especially when the stuff is on you attacking you the rude comments it's you know Jesus was beat to a pulp he was given numerous lashes dozens of lashes because the the Rome were actually experts at execution when I'm not like I'm not overstating that they were actually trained & experts in torture and execution the reason they gave them a certain number of lashes is because typically one or two more would kill a person they gave you enough to almost kill you
that's how messed up that was beat up lashed and all of that and he's saying look I'm not telling you when I said you had a cross to bear I meant you got to deal with your stuff I didn't mean you have to carry everybody's stuff I didn't mean you had to get crucified again he's trying to say I actually did it in the most vulgar sense the most route based sense I did nothing but love not 98% of the time nothing but love love and forgiveness love and forgiveness and look what I got you are probably not as
perfected at love as I was and you're not expected to even have that level of stuff happen to you I'm actually here to tell you he's saying to us there's good news it's all done it's already done so it was soon as you're in the mood you can start having a good day your your lousy I already did all the torture and you know I did all that so that you can now be happy so as soon as you can get over the belief that you're flawed when I broke the spell when I imperfection was murdered by the world of
imperfection it rendered itself impotent that's what Auslan says in Lion which in the wardrobe he says though the world of illusion I'm just paraphrasing words slightly this world of illusion has its power because we think were flawed but he says as soon as that world killed me and I was innocent it broke its own rules because that world says because you're flawed were allowed to call it bad karma and harm you and nobody could ever answer that well that's true it's called original sin in some
religions no it's true I I did get messed up and original sin starts with the naughty interaction of your parents you know what they did you know and that original sin happened because Eve put out in the garden you know and Eve was fooling around with the voice the serpent going hey Eve you know I see your value and she was like oh and you know gave into the the voice the serpent that's the story we're all living based on this thing called original sin now it's not just one or two religions that profess this original
sin they're actually accurate not accurate in the in the true sense but they're accurate that we all believe we are innately flawed whether it's from mythological archetypal atomy whether it's mom dad whatever it is guys we're just a you know just ripe to take on the stuff this world gives us we already think we're flawed and we have to have a different opinion we have to say you know I hear the voice of ego the voice of fear the voice of evil tells me I'm flawed and it's gotten me nowhere I'm
gonna try another voice one that has been forever trying to tell me that I'm valuable that I am actually made in the image of God so Jesus is trying to explain to us come on guys get just come on so he goes through ritual in motions he goes through you know the hanging on the cross he goes through resurrection this wasn't an effort in on his part this is the presence of God on earth is you can't even use the word powerful when something remembers it's true divine origins its identity the world is
completely valueless to it it holds no value which also means anybody's opinion of you it holds no value any longer well I would be a different person if only people wouldn't be mean to me no no if you were a different person they wouldn't be able to get to you you remember your divinity and you're developing what's called immunity a cold virus comes your way and runs illness runs comments right it doesn't matter you could say anything to Jesus and he was gonna be like oh I was gonna be the
Christ but just forget it now all this attitude you're all giving me you know there'll be no salvation today you know that's not what he did he says forgive him they're out of their minds forgive them they know not what they do they they are completely insane and know not what they do he's making a factual statement he's saying to us all when people attack you you have the power to let it go because everything they're saying isn't real it's not true when they attack you they're finding a weak spot in you and
they're going after it when you react you've affirmed that you believe what they said to you and we all have a bit of that so I'm not saying it's easy to take the hits you know from the stuff in this world of course it's challenging but you also have to practice all that light that surrounds you knocking at the door let some in let some in I don't let anybody hug me try it I don't believe in anybody you know healing chiropractors they're probably gonna hurt me try it try it come out come out wherever you
are you know come out try it you know cuz all doctors are out to get you you know with that it's a great statement you are a surgery waiting to happen the universe is gonna go father at the coal power we have somebody afraid of surgery and line you up because you got to face your demons everything you judge you will have to face you think you're facing things that you have to forgive you actually already prejudged which is why it's happening so forgive ahead of time preemptively he'll stuff by living in a state of
forgiveness isn't this funny you know all the things in this world that seem like they have value do you know do you realize that the things that you think have value as soon as you think they have value you're making yourself value less the only reason you could think something's got a value for you to you that it can give is because you think you're missing something now this sounds really weird - what's Michael telling us just to walk out the door flatlined no emotion no high no low not at all
just see through it that's part of what I'm getting to today just see through it just be able to you know Wow today I'm look at me I'm chanting Antonio and then the next day I'm completely in a depression and I want to take my own life you're gonna have highs and lows you're gonna hate somebody you're gonna love somebody on and on all this stuff you're actually not asked to perfect yourself you are not asked to never do anything wrong where your special hats do your deep chants do your
spiritual Riverdance do whatever you think you enjoy doing but when you do recognize these things I do are because of who I am not to get me to Who I am I am and then I do these things which you probably have heard me say before Center into who you are and then you know enjoy your foods Center into who you are and make love center into you you are in paint debating whatever you do but humans are still thinking they have to fix something so whether we're doing the you know just the preposterous hurtful things or the preposterous Wow look at
me look how much spiritual stuff I do sometimes just relax try breathe see things for what how you know how that you believe them to be and laughs wow look at that God I mean I've been I've been trying forever to get spiritual you know John Lennon in his last interview said we were spending so much time back in the 60s to get cosmic and what I didn't realize is I was already cosmic you know it's like we're already there and just relax and every bit of effort you have to try to become spiritual is
an affirmation of how much you think you're not spiritual every chance to make up for a not-so chanti kind of phrase you said somewhere in life every relationship you got a fix or for the ones that went south every technique prayer mantra you know and so on and and people will try to make it more complicated you know the reason spiritual Riverdance isn't making you feel any better is because you forgot to do your pranayama breathing well at the same time the true you know you know doing because that really is what makes
it work except on Tuesdays that's when you have to first do your spinning clockwise or counter clock if it's near a full moon you have to spin this direction if it's not you spin another direction unless you're a male then you have to drink water first blessed with rose oil it's like it never ends so just laugh just laugh and do it all spinning home sitting in a river dancing by you spin you know do it all but at least laughing oh man this is this is kind of funny and enjoy it do what you
enjoy and enjoy what you do in a state of joy and recognize God all this all this hard work and all that was really about the illusions I lived that I needed to forgive so that I could become illusions to reality fear to love and that's the ticket I don't care if you're a Buddhist and you come to love Catholic and you come to an atheist and you come to look if you get over the bridge just something as simple as go easy on yourself just forgive yourself because what you're doing even if you don't know for sure
you know you believe in God and all that when you learn to love yourself you're getting it you're getting it Jesus talks in the diary notes of Helen who wrote A Course in Miracles you know he's asking questions and sometimes he's commenting on this is peripheral stuff not in the course per se but one of the characters he talked about was Sigmund Freud and his comments about Freud are interesting he said first of all he says I've always liked the way that guy's mind works meaning he's recognized he's been able to see
him in his lifetimes the soul of Freud and he said I've always liked the way that guys Mert works he said he's very religious Freud didn't he say all that's bogus and made up in the mind Jesus tells her that's how hard he was fighting his own beliefs that there's a God so he analyzed it to death to prove there isn't when in fact his heart knows there is so as soon as the man dies and goes to the other side he's mad ah geez I see it you know this game I this game I was playing with myself all oh I don't
believe in that weak human thing it's we realize it's all bogus but you do have to come here until you accept and not fight it anymore so I'm closing with that concept we shared a few minutes ago love is coming in we try to keep it out and you guys know all the different ways we resist we we we distrust no loves trying to get in but this person I'm fighting it fighting it fighting it fighting it you just keep loving me you you forgiveness refuse to hate them learn what you can learn from the
experience with them whatever you can learn and just affirm there's a light in that soul you don't have to claim to have seen the light you know you don't have to claim to have seen it you don't have to claim to have enjoyed the the presence of God's light in that person you might have never seen it per se but just affirm that it's there what that says to the ego is despite what you show me I don't believe it despite what this world seems to present I don't believe it it's a way of saying
there's the egos world and there's gods and even if I haven't seen gods I know it's there and that's that's enlightenment because as soon as you get out of this thing this crystallization Chris station body thing this limited thing and get to the other side this will fall away and it'll become very evident that you were right even if you never see it with these eyes I see it with this I know it with this eye then you pass over and it all opens up so personally I don't sit around thinking I don't have
my spiritual abacus good deed good deed more meditation more technique I don't I don't sit there and slide like favors of myself I just do the work it's kind of like Jesus is its point of explaining if you do good deeds don't brag him about about him a lot don't brag about him a whole lot he says that means you want human approval and if that's the level of your consciousness he says that's all you'll get when you know you're doing it out of goodness he's saying your
treasure will be waiting for you in heaven what he means there is it'll all become very apparent that the very doing of good things including affirming someone's goodness even when they don't act good is something that is going to be waiting for you when you move this shell out of the way and you get back to higher consciousness it's gonna all be so clear these things I did were because they were right doing the next right thing always in my thoughts words and deeds so the people fending off they
fight they fight you just love anyway the most hurtful person I'm not enabling I'm not affirming the greatness of their behavior not at all I see it for what it is I refuse to hate you nevertheless I learned what I'm gonna learn and I affirmed that in you there is a light that's my job that's my consciousness and I add to the light that other people add now what if somebody doesn't have anybody doing that they live in darkness they die in darkness do you think they're gonna become enlightened
nobody's loved them the only time the only thing you can do to bring love to loveless people is to believe it even when they don't love love-love-love and what will happen is one day this life or another one day the love scent of if no love is ever sent they'll live in the darkness and they will hurt people because they're in darkness so you've now caused them to be continued being hurtful by not loving them forgiving them and loving them you'll add to their propensity to stay in that behavior
because nothing's changed on the other hand love love love love it's all building up around them I still don't see it I'm still an angry person but there's all this love or in the aura which sometimes you know you talk about entities and attachments in people's auras that's all the hurt and hate from them and from others for their hurtful behaviors or people who just tried to be hurtful towards you it's clinging and out there and you know and your or and all that it's the same thing except the
opposite love love love love love this person hate hate hate hate but at some point in their life all that has to happen is one beautiful vulnerability all that hate and that person something happens it could be the birth of a grandchild it could be the death of their favorite dog it could be something bubbles up from childhood all it takes is one little vulnerability and all of a sudden their defenses drop ever so sometimes not so obvious sometimes ever so covertly or you know in a in a passive way it starts to shields down a
little and all of a sudden this love comes flooding in and those are those moments where you've heard people say I was and they fill in the blank I've had people say I was a hit man I've had people say I was an assassin I was there I was hurtful I would say I mean from rapists molest everybody every kind of person you can imagine and when something shifts in them it's amazing because they talk about this wave of love that entered their being they they often call it you know and then God but it is God but it's also the love and the
prayers that we all sent them because that too is God so then it gets very interesting because we're like a five on the spiritual scale we're a six a seven because we pray and we meditate and we eat right and all that we're not like those jerks you know the ones out there those twos at best you know hurtful and hateful but you know love to them love to them love to them and they've heard enough people that there's enough of us love love low to them then one day they just go fine I don't know if you're out
there god but if you are fine I need help move this inject all that love and light that was surrounding them comes bursting in and they're enlightened overnight their hairs turned white you know and their eyes all blue and they shine and they glow and they're smiling and you're like you jerk how did you end up a 9 I'm still a 6 I'm still working I thought my teacher told me eight more lifetimes and you get there and they're like like you know just like how did that happen if that's gonna bother you then maybe
ease up on the love you're sending people because if you truly want to send a love to people you're also affirming and hoping for the day when it manifests and we're all in this together so when they filled in flooded with light so did you there are days I mean gosh you know guys where I've helped people and prayer and we do healing and they come oh I won the lottery I'll be this and that and you know there are days you go wow I'd have loved to have been on that ride you know but it you don't get attached to
any of that just keep doing your work it's all not only gonna pay off but it's all that really matters keep sending love to loveless people don't hang out with them don't fall in love with them don't marry move in and no I'm talking about just the love you can leave and love you never heard of love him and leave him that just came to me I swear I saw it coming I'm like don't say I Michael don't say it boom hook Julie spiritual Tourette's you know in any case love them and leaving those
that's good all right so think about how beautiful and deep this this all is think about it guys God just love in its practical form we're not preaching it love in its practical form all that love that I surround them with and one day guys they're gonna accept it and when they do it's often a big wave so it is right that they have some transformational born-again kind of experience you stay steady on your path believe it or not spirit sometimes doesn't want you or need you to have that complete epiphany
where you glow all the time sometimes you're gonna be meant to sit there at a dinner table at it out to dine with you know people and you're gonna be still sitting there to be the one that still lights up your cigarette and has your wine with your steak because that's where the level of people you're gonna be helping I'm not saying use that well they're only reason I don't give up drinking is because apparently God wants me to work with alcoholics you know come on you know but I am saying and overall
in what I said today don't be so hard on yourself okay don't be so hard on yourself love and love yourself that includes the cool things you do to be enlightened breath working and all these not so nice things you've done whatever they have been still come back to loving love yourself if you truly say you want to love God then you have to love yourself and be gentle man lighten up relax not so much doing but being and all that let's take a few centering breaths as we breathe in we hear the words I am
and as we exhale we hear the word relaxed I am relaxed calming and centering and just for half a minute let's allow our minds to review all the unhealthy things we have engaged in in our lives not to obsess on it or guilt ourselves but just look at the things we've done out of hurt desperation trying to get one foot up on others competing gossiping if you have any trouble doing this then you're being defensive and then it means that these things you
believe are more powerful than you and you don't want to look at them just look it's okay it could even be something as simple as tensing up when you're supposed to be on a massage table getting a massage the relaxing and you're tensed and laugh at yourself defending love pushing it away pre-emptive hurt before others hurt you all the forms of offense and defense centering centering centering just observe and then look at all the things you have participated in to be enlightened to be spiritual to be better
self-help chantings and full moons and drumming's dancing postures diet the first group of things are things we did when we were spiritually immature don't think of him as evils and Bad's just I was spiritually immature or I was asleep the second group of things are things I did when I started to wake up very cool very nice took better care of myself and others healthier boundaries less addictions better diet and so on when I was waking up notice the way that
sounds so objective I was asleep I was waking no judgment no hurt no hate relationships that I had when I was asleep and some when I was starting to wake up waking up doesn't mean I'm awake I'm still half asleep so I still made mistakes and some of but I get it and in both categories I choose to love and forgive myself instead of forgive them for they know not what they do forgive me I know not what I was doing Who am I saying that to God God doesn't judge the need to forgive to myself forgive me I know not what I was doing I
thought I was missing something so I acted hurtfully and hatefully I thought I was missing something so I started doing things to find it certainly looks better than the other but what's the third what if I am as God created me what if I am already holy immediately part the red sea of things that I have done that were not healthy and things that were hard to see by saying to yourself if I am in centered in the presence of God if I am holy then what kinds of relationships what kinds of diet what kinds of household what
kinds of environment furnishings what kinds of exercise ask yourself hypothetically and then it'll become true if you choose it to be if I'm already there what kind of life would I live and just use your imagination try to stay objective how would I live are there different colors I would wear not colors that make me holy if I am or their different wardrobe I would choose would it change my posture how would I respond to gossip doing everything from a state of being what would my finances look like to one
person they could say well it seems like I would have ease of wealth to another it could be the opposite just ask yourself what resonates that is how we bring heaven to earth when we anchor in the presence first in our consciousness then through our actions and words and in advance we are giving thanks that by seeing this centering first then seeing this we are programming this all into the matrix of life now it needs to be released into activity it needs to be released into manifestation I've
centered I've envisioned it and now when we know and say and so it is it means and so it becomes and so it unfolds and so it is so but we still have to go and act accordingly you don't just call it and visualize it our decisions day-to-day have to be aligned with what we've just done joy to the world joy to the world peace on earth and goodness to all and so it is thank you
