Miracles Versus The Dark Night of the Soul

It's not often that that humanity collectively goes through a dark night of the soul, and that's been happening. You can tell, because a dark night the soul, just to summarize that, it's a phrase. It's a figure of speech mystics used to, basically, mystics used to use.

It means a time when the all of you gets purged away, and then the way Mystics would describe it, the old self gets purged away and then you have this mystical revelation of oneness with God. iIt's pretty cool, but on a day to day basis what it means basically is your life goes to hell in a handbasket and then you get new opportunities for a different life.

You know now the Mystics go it's amazing because the old ego gets purged away and then you begin to see the real Union and it's really cool and it is cool and it sounds cool the way they're saying it but going through it is not exactly cool that's not really a lightweight thing very heavy it's not when you have sickness it's several or death several deaths not just the loss of the job it's when your job and your health goes and friends drop away and your partner runs away with your friends because they owned the business that they stole from you you know hope that makes you sick you know it's like it's

like when a lot of things are going wrong it doesn't have to be as dramatic as I just said but one symptom of knowing if it's the dark night is when several things are happening not one or two another way to know is that it's lasting longer than a bad weekend that's how you know something's having is happening and that's been happening on earth people collectively shifting now you know what's amazing though is you know people get together on 1111 years ago and and you know 2012 wow there's going to be a big transformation

that has to say this the money that everybody gets already and they actually think it's just gonna be like you know and then UFOs come and give us new information and everybody it's a big exciting thing you cannot rise higher than you're willing to fall and they forget to put that in the menu you know to everybody for planet Earth Jesus says you will only rise as far as you'll fall meaning you can only grow spiritually as well as you are willing to go inside or you can only grow in consciousness proportionate to how much you're willing

to let the old self die okay and that's that starts to sound different than just signing everybody up for a big ascension when you say it that way it starts to feel very different all of a sudden wait a second I was happy about this concept rapture ascension oneness with God you know we are the world that all these wonderful concepts of let's all hang out and you know and live in peace and oneness you know most people teachers and such aren't saying well wait I'm sorry we forgot to tell you before that can

happen the old life has to die so we're all sitting dear Lord you know I'm ready show me your life of oneness and love that's great but everybody forgets that that means the other life has to go it's as though we're trying to bargain and say listen God we would like you to bring us a new life and we want it intact and in place before you take anything away that way we only get to go from what was - to better with no transition no personal responsibility no changes I mean and that's again

conditions and ego and it's not gonna happen that way almost ever instead what's going to happen is the old life has to be seen and of course in miracles' it's described as it has to be seen and you have to learn how about you lists the old life plus you know in other words the new one doesn't just get to come in you guys have to take responsibility and own this was the life I had and it has no real value for me anymore otherwise it's almost like saying I'd like to stop a certain addiction but not until a new addiction comes into

replacement that's not even a healthy statement but it's what people try to do and we're being told no no no no you're gonna stop your addiction you're gonna actually have to sit and go through the withdrawals of the addiction that you chose and created sit with that I I can't take it right so start writing let's do some step work step work that's not very nice that's not fun I need something stimulating no let's try not having ego-based and stimulation let's let the old life die its called purging the old life so it gets very

tricky I've known people who serial monogamy you know they they can't go into a relationship until you know you know or end your relationship until they're ready to go into a new one they have to have a new distraction already in place that's that's very much addiction being rampant so people are wanting miracles in their life that a miracle means a major shift but a miracle comes into our lives basically it's a shift in our lives but it only comes through a shift first inside in our consciousness again people

are so addiction oriented they want a miracle the way they want I want this miracle spirits trying to say if you want a miracle outside you have to have a miracle inside if you don't have it inside it's not a miracle all it is is a manipulation of material stuff he calls it and of course miracles magic meaning like a magic show not wonderful spiritual magic he means it's just sleight of hand you're just manipulating matter look at me I manifested a new job on my own if you do anything without God it isn't real you manipulate it and if you

manipulate it matter Wow aren't you impressive however it's not real which means you'll fall out of love with it sooner there'll be problems with it more dramatically and so on if it's real it's something that lasts it's something that also feels peaceful so we're all looking for miracles but it means I'm ready for a miracle in my life and we learn to say however I know that that means that I have to have a miracle in here what is a miracle in here me a healing a forgiveness these are all synonymous a miracle in here means healing something

forgiving something shifting something in here in my being see what I'm saying attachments resentments and so on so let me just watch into this real immediately here think of this think of anything you'd like in your life new car new house you know anything your partnership whatever it happens to be healing even you know grief anything you would like in your life according to a Course in Miracles which is really another way of saying according to Christ consciousness because that's what the course is according to Christ consciousness you're

allowed to have stuff whether it's emotional stuff companionship stuff or material things at cards you're allowed to have stuff but the course or Christ consciousness is telling you the only real way to get it is by forgiving something not by building up enough money to buy it that's what our heads tell us you gotta save up money to buy something the course is telling us if you learn to forgive thoroughly enough and deeply enough it'll give you anything you think you want and folks have underestimated

that we think we're supposed to only forgive like only on a you know whenever we really have to have like when everything's falling apart or when somebody's really pushed our buttons gosh I guess I probably should dish out that that forgiveness this year maybe once a year we're being told that forgiveness is the number one tool for creating miracles what miracle would you like in your life he says forgiveness offers it now that gets tricky to understand in the head forgiveness will give you anything you

want well no that doesn't make sense because what I need is a car house forgiving is gonna give me a car when you start looking at the idea I would like a car why don't you have one because I don't have enough money what is it inside that you can forgive about money about lack of money whatever it is that makes you think you need to go and work hard until it's called sweat of the brow in Genesis whatever makes you think you cannot materialize a car out of thin air practice forgiving that belief that's

what Christ consciousness is telling us and it's so profound if you think about it anything you want forgiveness offers it just practice forgiveness you want a miracle of some kind forgiveness consistently and constantly and one more thing about that again people when they hear forgiveness there's this whole heavy dramatic belief system about what forgiveness is we think again we think it means okay let me think is there anybody I need to forgive oh yeah I thought I just thought of somebody as though there's only one or two out there people do not understand

what forgiveness is about believe it or not you have to forgive everything in the universe for believing that it even exists you have to forgive yourself and all of us for separating from God you have to forgive yourself for thinking you're a body that can get sick you do think you're a body and you do think you're getting older but yet you're not really it just looks that way you think you can get sick but you actually can't get sick if you don't agree with me why are you coming this particular center why do you

go to unity and trust chaplains to pray with you because they're affirming you can't be sick are you saying they're all Liars the way you're coming here go to a church that affirms your guilt and limitations that option go go someplace that would affirm that but we're learning God's will is not what we were taught you are sinful and you are doomed God is trying to tell us in so many forms and one of the most beautiful things of noticing is what used to be fundamental religion here and here and here you know and so on it's on Morgan

listen and watch this in your own lives watch how there's a televangelist that sounds just like your new thought teachers you notice that you know you got Joyce Meyer sounding just like reverend Shipley who used to speak at this church and you got you know over there Joe Louis you know this is down Oh Michael near-death that used to not come together you're not able to tell fundamental Christian teachers from new thought teachers why because what used to be divided is coming together does anybody want to say that or notice it no because they would be ostracized from

their religions and they are ostracized from their religions when they sound too new agey I mean they criticize them that Joe Losey he's just he's becoming one of those positive thinking New Agers he's not Christian enough because he's not hateful enough but through this they're blending because it's God's will that we all come to that understanding that my well God is saying it has always only been love now the fundamentalists that are you know used to only be saying you're going to go to hell etc they're talking about love forgiveness

acceptance etc new thought teachers are saying that as well and yet the New Thought teachers the ones that are growing and waking up are have not having a problem talking about Jesus or Christ because there was a time that's old so they went the direction of know Christ and the crazy people were all Christian and and into hatin judgment tell the damnation notice it's all coming together and that's called a miracle when you're young a meant when your mom was teaching was speaking like this only strictly certain culture religion race and you were over here on

some other angle and you start to see commonality that doesn't mean anybody's giving in and sacrificing their beliefs there's a way it happens where commonality starts to happen that's called bridging it doesn't matter what the topic is the Holy Spirit of God its primary purpose its function the Holy Spirit I call the Divine Mother the Divine Mother the Holy Spirit's primary purpose is to bridge us back to God to bring us home that's why so many lives talk about call upon the holy spirit for a miracle itself but we got used to

saying okay those of us who believe in the term holy spirit we say holy spirit of god I pray for such and such and such and such we were still asking as though it's an entity that's going to do us a favor what we have to understand is ultimately the Holy Spirit isn't just wanting to you know bridge us we're way down here to God that's way up there the Holy Spirit is actually trying to bring us closer to God not just translate messages that are totally opposites it's trying to bring us closer so humans are not getting there

so they still talk to the Holy Spirit like it's some other being and please do me a favor and ask God if I can have a family like it's a detached messenger when in fact what the Holy Spirit's doing trying to get us to be more likely God then your answers come because you are not because you're asking you see the difference there now if that's true and it is the Holy Spirit's job is to bridge you're eventually supposed to be coming like the Holy Spirit not asking continually for favors become like me and you'll have everything you need

so what Jesus meant when he said God already knows what your needs are and humans went oh and I mentioned this this weekend but humans go that means God knows that I need a new toothbrush and I need a new pair of shoes like we went back to stuff it meant God knows you only have one need not God knows all of your needs you only have one and it is to come home if you come home in consciousness you have no needs so you only have one temporarily one eventually that'll be gone temporarily that need is to come home and the Holy Spirit says I'll show you how for now

pray for you know brand I'll help you guys get stuff and heal the Holy Spirit help me heal this person Holy Spirit channel through me and let me teach people I'm gonna channel the Holy Spirit I'm gonna speak in tongues all these wonderful gifts of spirit that's all cool but the Holy Spirit saying at the end of the day are any of you becoming like me and most humans are like well we're too busy to hear that because we're celebrating that we got our stuff I prayed for a new car and I got it well what did you get oh I had a healing I

had a sore throat now it's gone well praise all the spirit and we're making it a separate entity and we're excited and giving thanks the Holy Spirit's like if only just anybody would listen after you get the car I still have more to say but as soon as you got what you wanted you ignored the rest somebody's got to stop and say I'm sorry about that what else did you want to share whoa a human it's got an open mind to hear more than their stuff what they want Thank You human being those are the Jesus's or the you and me that want to listen to the

Pope the whole story you know Holy Spirit I prayed that you would give me this new book and it was gifted to me today and God thank you that's amazing wait I have a feeling you have more for me let me set down that book thank you but what else have you got for me the Holy Spirit then can start channeling you and give you more the holy spirit could now give you a book to write not just one to read that's fine it gave you just the right book to read that's cool that's a miracle and listen longer and it starts giving you something maybe to write or maybe it

gives you an idea get a second copy of the book because you're gonna run into somebody outside then is supposed to have that book you see it's amazing one of you was sharing in your private session this week an amazing thing and I love this because you can see it's happening in all places churches too but all churches all types of churches but everywhere it can happen in your local market you can have a holy experience in piggly-wiggly you know what some Texas supermarket um that's not derogatory that he'd actually have a store called

out you know so it can happen anywhere so one of you was telling me that you went in and you're having kind of a crisis in life and you went into a church I was I think a Catholic Church so you went into a church Catholic Church and you were sitting there and the church had a service or whatever the church emptied out this one person was sharing Church emptied out and then the priest walked over because they stayed sitting there and said I'm supposed to help you today that means a priest and some of us have

had negative experiences or hearsay about priests and so on doesn't matter because anyone and everyone is learning to be open the priest is saying I'm channeling I'm hearing spirit top to me and sometimes they don't do that and sometimes Southern Baptist teachers don't do that preachers don't but sometimes they do some televangelists don't get it but something it's starting to happen where it's spreading to every place there's no one tradition er but religion that hasn't it's starting to spread which also means

the differences are coming together okay so when we hang in there long enough what Helen did Helen wrote A Course in Miracles and when Helen Lee and their long careers that would happen to her she had a vision and you know it doesn't matter if you know of course in miracles' but the story is still valid it's this woman she was having these synchronicities in these strange kinds of experiences and the boys talking to her sort of letting her know that God's there with her and one day you know she has a vision and in the vision the short

version of it is she she sees a scroll and she goes up to the scroll and she opens the scroll and she's gonna open this girl that is and she slightly opens it and she's told if you read the scroll to the left you'll know everything like at your KC about the past if you open the scroll to the right you'll know everything you'll be able to tell the future like a Nostradamus you just opened left you've got KC open right you got Nostradamus pretty cool almost any human being will most wouldn't even be able to have that level of a vision

because they're not open to it basically but if they did most are going to go that's it I'll take to the right and I can get to the track tomorrow and start Betty everybody's gonna go that the you know what they want out of this she knows left and right but right the middle of the scroll there's only two words God is she oughta pull unrolls the scroll far enough to see God is she stops and says somehow she knew that's all I need and she rolls the scroll closed and then she hears a voice congratulations

you passed this time and that's the same test for all of us I want I want I want is to the left or to the right God's will that's all we need and what we do is well I know that gods will stop but just in case God doesn't I need to know the past and the future and it's just a lack of faith not a I'm not giving you like a Christian statement that's a lack of faith I'm saying it is factually a lack of faith you're not trusting that God is is enough if I really understand

that God is I can heal anything from the past and no anything for the future because God is God is all all I need to do is tap into God is and I'll have everything and what we do is we hedge that's why would we go in and deal with surgeries and and stuff of life you know divorces well you know hi nice to meet you hi nice to meet you I'll be your new attorney for this divorce okay listen there's this God is concept but just in case God fails I want you to make sure you get everything in the divorce go after them you know get everything you

can watch out be careful you know all that stuff of paranoia you know it is and and we can tell how faithful we are by just that one thing how much can I do God is if I wake up this morning and I've got a school test or if I've got some sort of test of some kind or we should at work can I wake up and say God is see when you go up to do a talk in front of people can you just say God is and then it just all comes to you I remember a speaker 1:so a pretty well-known speaker and I was at a conference and I'm one of the keynote

speakers and this person is one of the keynotes and there's a few others and I remember this person saying you know Michael you go up there and you just do this I wish I could do that I have to have my notes they said you don't have to God is you know you could just you know trust it and so at this one time either they said it at one conference and I saw him later in another conference and they brought it up again and I said we'll just go for it just just to see what happens so they went up there and it's neither good nor bad if

you need to know but you know just to see what happens so she goes out up there and she had her notes and you could just see she was can I pull this off you know and and as a joke I told the story recently but as a joke what we did the other keynotes there was me and Gregg Braden and a few others sitting up there in the front row and this person she's kind of like getting ready to talk and you can see she's kind of wanting to revert to her nose so she'd get ready to talk and I got everybody at the same time to go oh

she kind of nervously like let me talk do my top so anyway and we again and we interrupted her two or three times and she finally caught on but we were doing like it's okay don't go to the notes and then she just kind of looked me down and launched and I don't know I don't know to this day I don't know that she ever went back and needed notes anymore but that's hard because another self says but what if and that's where one of you that brought us before we officially started the concept of the what if you know whatever what if I if I eat certain

foods but if what if I don't do certain things who I must be in a certain way because I'm told vitamin such-and-such is what makes you healthy certain foods will make you unhealthy and Jesus tells you who of you by worrying can add a single day to your life meaning worrying about the nutrients is already killing you thank God I'm not like you people I eat only the best I don't eat that garbage you eat just the fact that you think we have garbage it's already you're already sick you're

judging other people's foods is already making you sick I'm not saying don't eat healthy I'm saying judging unhealthy you're already sick you're already turning your wonderful holistic foods into toxins anyway because in here you're off so that's why so many of us have been turned off by sometimes fundamental religions they told us we're not even bad to help judge and ye shall be judged as soon as you tell other people they're doomed they're going to help ya I don't

care if you think you're righteous about it you're going to hell but I have reason to believe them because you don't go to my church by that very statement that person's already condemned because we're all one as soon as I condemn you for anything your food intake your choices your sexual preferences your whatever it is as soon as I judge you for it a part of me because you're a part of me a part of me has already judged see it doesn't just mean karmically when you judge out there's your judge it doesn't just mean

karmically it means you are me as soon as I judge you I've already judged a part of myself forgiveness means then letting everyone off the hook which then means you've let yourself off the hook for every person you have forgiven a part a cell in you let's call it is brought to peace okay let's imagine that there are so many because there are you know billions of obviously cells in your body but let's imagine that every being you've ever known make up one of those cells even in past lives every person I've ever known

or interacted with makes up one seldom might be so if a gland is sick a stomach is sick all it is is a collection of my belief system my curds my wounds now now I'm not saying you should judge yourself geez you know this guy's bummed me out that he's saying that if I have a hurt hip or New York or a sore throat then I'm I'm judgmental you are human but to forgive is divine so you learn to see these things and everything is connected so you start to realize I'm actually only on earth to practice forgiveness

you're not here to have kids or grandkids that's just an aside you're here only to learn to forgive so they asked Jesus you know what about sex in the Course in Miracles she asks him what about the status and you know you think he's getting it like you'd be pure be chaste but you know he says sex is fine do what you want to do because you all abuse that anyway he says but we were all for it but here's what he says we're all for it you you know heaven in heaven honors sex but not for the reason you think

heaven on earth sex because when you have sex you're eventually gonna have kids when you have kids you're gonna have more people to work on your stuff with what a weird twist you know it's like I would you know if you were telling me that if I were held in the hearing that I'd be like that's it no kids cuz you're setting me up you setting me up to have to work on stuff so he's saying the more people you have in your life more opportunities and you guys have used those words too at times it's just an opportunity the more people

the more opportunities to heal and it's true more opportunities deal because those people are going to bring up stuff why because we're all connected so you're gonna have some racists in your face at some point you can say but I don't feel like I'm a racist you're probably not overtly a racist nevertheless what shows up in your life it's still forgiveness that you can extend someone else shows up with a different issue an addiction that annoys you it's still another opportune you forget so we're not here to forgive

once in a while we're actually here to forgive everything at the end this is what the again the way we twist things you hear of the Last Judgement everybody in this room has likely heard of the Last Judgment judgment to doomsday the end of the world the Last Judgment the final judgement day but nobody bothers to sit what is that again Judgment Day well clearly it's when God looks at you and says it is your Judgment Day and guess what and failure out of here to help then what was the point if everybody just goes to hell what was the

point of us even trying Judgment Day isn't God judging the truth is Judgment Day is when God and you speak so clearly you give up judging at all the last judgment means you no longer have any judgments in that jokl in that cool like oh that hadn't occurred to me the last the final judgment Judgment Day would you go you know I don't think I'll judge you anymore that's what Judgment Day is and when they give you this connotation and at the judge of the day there's gonna be this screaming and gnashing of teeth and all this horrible

you know what that is your ego going damn what do you mean you're not gonna listen to me that's all it is the gnashing of teeth it's just the ego and it's not dying you're not like pitch barking and stabbing and it's not like some actual gruesome ending the ego is gonna be doing more like just fading away for lack of work it's just retired hey by the way we won't be needing you any and even if it were to try to ban and whine and screaming as it starts to fade it doesn't have any volume left anyway there's a great movie I've I've shared

this before and in workshops in the past but it's so so brilliant there's a TV show from the 90s it was called wiseguy anybody remember it yeah yeah we're very cool right oh okay a mobster goes undercover he gets caught they're gonna put him to jump in instead he goes undercover cops to crack cases and so on but in one and each one of these there's like three or four episodes that so it goes on for three or four episodes it's not one one one it gives you each subject for a few episodes so it gets deeper so in one particular episode of

theme he's he's got this guy that he has to befriend he's a mobster and he has to be friend him like he's his right-hand man so he gets in right now at some point you know when it's all said and done at the end the vets come in and bust that guy and in it's this character that that catches up to him with a gun and says you have to give up he says man you betrayed me he said no you know you're a criminal and but he felt bad he felt guilty you know that he did this pretending to be a friend and they did kind of become friends but you still

haven't dropped him so he bust the guy and the guy says you're not taking me in he kills himself this guy's friend just killed himself because of this guy's world capisce now they bring that theme back up several episodes later several episodes later an arbitrary thing happens this character is going in for a check just a standard check up spot all the feds all the officers have to go and eventually you know now and again to just get a checkup psych evaluation health evaluation he goes in but there's some real major

criminal mind in the psych ward and sees him and recognizes him and says I remember that guy he gets in the computer and types in dangerous apprehend him so this guy comes in you know just getting Paul's check and they grab him time throw him in the back in the psych ward you know they're doing what they think is right he's like what do you people don't have an agent sure you are and they don't lie so now the whole thing of him he's stuck in the hospital every time he fights they just inject him again and knock him out and

how frustrating that would be for anybody to feel powerless voiceless which we have in our lives at times but what's weirder is each time they inject him and he goes to sleep he dreams about the guy he betrayed and the guys working him over working his guilt punishing him making him going cold sweats then he wakes up and it's like living the nightmare you got that living a nightmare so at some point this is going on and on and on and then finally he stood because of each layer he's starting to get more

realizations about the truth of what happened in this situation so finally he's awake they go to him oh you're trouble again they go to inject him he goes that's okay that won't be necessary and he lies down closes his eyes and takes himself into the trance where he finishes his work with that guy and he sees that guy going you know man you let me down oh I didn't you were a criminal you betrayed me no I didn't he answers his demons and when he does the bad guy who was haunting him throughout these

episodes you know throughout this period of all his going under with injections he's haunting him and torturing him and beating him up in whatever because the guy believed he did something wrong this other guy had power to beat him up in his dreams got it now this guy's going win what are you doing he goes you have no home no more power now wait a minute he went from bad guy kicking him around in the dreams and he goes what no wait wait and you see him starting to fade he goes wait what are you doing to me man

please give me some power back and he's doing all this now he goes to what I call the nice cop bad cop nice cop days to call it you know and so he's now begging for a life and he goes you know it's like that kung fu episodes that did this where he's looking at demons saying you are what you are if you're real you won't fade and the guy just fades away when we recognize the value lessness of addictions or people that we thought hold power you know there there are love life there you know that person that I was married to and they did another

lifetime they did when you recognize nothing can happen by chance nothing happens without some level of mine sending a signal that I'm here for that when we recognize foregiveness means forgiving ourselves I'm forgiving myself for making you think this was okay goodbye it's not just fighting them in courts but sometimes that's what you're called to have to do but it's not just defeating them in a physical wrestling match or in court or whatever else it really comes down to recognizing your own power and then what you do is you

retire everybody there's not a fight you're just retired everybody you won't be needed anymore and then in that movie the show he was like hey wait don't let me go it's a funny thing theythey start begging for power because they don't have anymore one time I had but you know my dad was just quite a mean person and he tended to like to tell me how much he didn't like me he just was it every time I'd see me he just decided he had to tell me again so one time I'm in his car this is 25

years ago and I get in the car and he starts in once again you this and you that didn't you never amount to anything about whatever all this stuff this goes on for years of my life I mean by this time I must be third so this is I've been hearing this for 30 years I went first first I felt anxiety hearing it again I felt anxiety about his attention everything you know it gives you that's okay you're not bad you're not wrong it'll get you sometimes but as you grow you'll learn to see it sooner then as

you continue to grow not only do you see it sooner No starts to happen so I felt it there it is again what do I do stuck in this car I have an idea hey Dad it's clear that you don't like me no that's right I don't like it and and you've told me this before that's right that's right I have told I don't like this about you I don't like I said I have some great news now that you made it is so clear you'll never have to tell me again and he didn't say anything it was telling him and but it was also telling myself enough is enough

so no boss has the power they seem to have no no no person and no thing nobody Dushan it doesn't have the power that people pretend or think that it has however why did we ever think it did and that's where you have to look at yourself for a while you're going to talk about needing to forgive others for being the way they are but there comes a time where you start to realize there is no them there is no power they just look like that power they're just a dream but why did I act like they did have a power whoa guess what low self-worth it's

really a great meeting of mind when I have low self-worth it really comes in pretty handy to have some jerks in my life you know it works out really well I have low self-worth I'm kind of a predator why don't we get together this is perfect you could just control my life and stop me and so forth I'll do that I like them because they forget who they are they love to stomp on people I forget who I am I tend to like to get stomped on that's a great meeting and that's what we call contracts unconscious unspoken usually unspoken agreements low

self-worth they both have low self-worth but one becomes pretends to be bigger one pretends to be smaller and they work out together till somebody wakes up usually the one that's getting stuff and stomping others they're not usually going to be the one to wake up because it's a you know it's like I'm getting so much out of this why would I want to you know break this contract so those of us who have been in the position to get to be the receiving end of this it's kind of the burdens on us to be the ones to say wait a second

no what do you mean no hey I had this friend who's telling me and he was a funny type because he was small and kind of squirrely kind of you know hey how's it going Michael you know kind of Boise through small frame and he's telling me he goes you know I had a weird thing happened to me the other day he said I was at a 7-eleven or circle-k or something it was like San Bernardino California he goes at the weirdest thing and he goes I was applying that stuff you were talking about these couple of big mean guys gang you know gang members they

came over to me my car visit hey you're taking us from San Bernardino you know in Southern California you're taking us to Fresno he's going but I'm not going to Fresno and they go you don't understand man get in the car you're driving us to I don't think you understand I'm cracking up like he was being so Saturday didn't even know how dangerous it was to be telling them no and he said and eventually they just said man you're you're nuts and they left him alone it's alright if people think you're crazy because you're

not going crazy you're just waking up and someone has decided to say no more and my heart goes out to them because it is an inconvenience people are used to doing something to you with you and your gosh you know by inconveniencing them you're such a killjoy you know what you know you're raining on their parade but stick to God cling to Christ cling to God what you know is right and do it you can even say to people if their circumstances are appropriate listen I know that that's not the way it's been but this is how it's gonna be now you

don't have to be rude about it you've been on oppressor and I'm gonna be free so get lost cuz now you're just sounding like you're better than it's okay to say you know we were both dysfunctional or we were both kind of doing a certain thing I'm just not doing that anymore you know it's okay to hone your part because you did play a part and when they say you know pilot talking to Jesus don't you realize I have the power to crucify you just like these guys you're taking us to Fresno

I'm not going to Fresno Jesus Pilate says don't you realize I have the power to crucify you and Jesus just like that guy except not with that voice Jesus didn't go you know violent I was just thinking no but Jesus says actually you don't have any power except the power given to you and people misunderstand what that meant do you see what it means in context of tonight I can have you put to death you actually can't have any McDonagh except that which is agreed upon and Jesus is saying and I'm good with that because I'm open to that in

fact I'm gonna use you to have it done you know it's kind of funny you turned the whole thing around and nobody expects that you might hear this tonight go wow this really is deeper it makes sense that's fine then apply it your own life apply it to the abusive partner apply it to the selfish parent apply it to the you know addict children or whatever the case may be it's not as easy but it should be as easy it's just not as easy because of our belief systems and our ego reacting to that but it's true don't overdo it don't shame

yourself when I say we create things in our lives don't shame yourself and say God then you know that he's saying I'm a bad I'm responsible I didn't say anything about a negative or bad it's just a responsibility you never will practice forgiveness properly without knowing the concept of responsibility you cannot practice forgiveness without responsibility because if you try it you're gonna be saying dear lord help me to forgive the jerk or whomever it is you're talking about responsibility means help me to forgive us because I

play the part you don't have to analyze what the parties you don't have to judge the part you don't have to do anything like you know my parts worse than ever it doesn't matter it's us and that's why in the art of HO upon opponent Hawaiian prayer of forgiveness you say things along the lines of oops my bad I'm paraphrasing but it's I God please forgive me for dragging us both in sorry about that the truth is I love you I don't love the hurtful ego you I love the real you the God at you and thank you for forgiving me and so forth it's a

really beautiful and gentle forgiveness technique but it means my god ho oponopono which is a very powerful effective forgiveness prayer isn't a prayer that says I'm calling them the power of Archangel Michael - you know in me and ignite like pure light it will purge away all your evil and you will now be forgiven by me who is much better than you it doesn't look like that it's very humble its sorry sorry for what I'm sorry that you look like you have different skin color I'm sorry that you look like you have a different gender

I'm sorry that I think I'm a Democrat you're Republican or vice versa I'm sorry for any label I put on anybody because it's not true it just looks like it and the last thing I'll share before we are gonna take it from a break but forgiveness to be able to say I really am understanding the love the relevance of forgiveness but the relevance of responsibility in forgiveness I'm really starting to get it now we're all in this together yes some people have acted out as the perpetrator and somes the some of the

victims but really were all in trouble so I'm gonna start retiring everybody from their roles and one of those includes it was brought up before we started like people passing away I'm allowed to say I do miss you I do I wish you were here physically I could talk to you I do miss you that's okay acknowledge that you feel what you feel however it's an amazing thing to close your eyes and imagine those people as they are now enlightened and say oh there you are I thought you died sorry about that I thought that when your body died you

died and you didn't you're right here sorry about that okay or mom and dad you didn't have a chance to say goodbye close your eyes and see them as they are today and say I thought you died I thought I lost my chance to say goodbye that's not true that's only the body you're not a body and this is a good thing to say you're not a body you can't die and you can't even be sick it releases them from that imagery if you hold people you know this is how I remember I'll never forget I stood by

their bedside they were so sickly and they were in pain do you think that's how they want to be remembered I can tell you they do not but why are you choosing to remember them like that that's actually a little sick it is it's a little sick I know you're an angelic being now but I want to see you as a frail in pain human that's kind of weird why don't you just let go and see them as they really are and that's kind of beautiful because I'm gonna forgive myself for thinking that you could be frail and sick because you can't be and

they're feeling this extra level and layer of release but so are you on that same note however when someone passes away 1 2 3 people pass away just remember this there's no body that actually passes away its concepts that pass away when you lose a woman in your life women represent something to you whether it's mothering nurturing sisterhood friendship whatever it is when someone dies you lost that you did just lose the person you lost a whole concept so this means that if I have a friend a female

and she passes away she's an opportunity for a if she was a mean person for me to say goodbye to that old pattern because it and she's mean it died meanness died I could say I refused to let me this die I'm gonna get that meanness to arise in someone else because that's what humans do they keep reincarnating problems well they might have gone now what am I gonna do Who am I gonna be irritated at now I know there's a new gal at work I'll set her up for that and she shows up at work you don't like her hair doing a second

mm-hmm and you just start into a new hatred relationship but you could also have said Wow when my narcissistic mother died it is a chance for narcissism to pass away what if it's the opposite my love and nurturing off I had the grandmother who's so sweet loving nurturing she passed away yesterday now you don't say I lost loving sweet that's what Michael just said no I said you could choose to see it as something negative passing away if it's negative when it's something positive your grandmother and you should

want the same thing but trust me your grandmother didn't pass away saying you know sorry nice and sweet dies you're all alone now grandmother's saying remember how nice sweet I was now you become that draw it into your own life and being become the message I left you not only like Jesus who says I'm going but I'm leaving you with this so nobody actually was ever supposed to die and be on a negative note if they were hurtful adios good you know thank God but it's also now I have to imagine my life without

that yucky stuff and some people can't do it they just have to manifest it again because of patterns and addictions but you can say goodbye to it and take it as a ritual a ceremony of a whole new opportunity same with a job I lost a job but I didn't like the job and the job represented me working someplace that I don't feel valued would you like to the non valued self to pass away today because that's what's taking that's what's going with the job no I lost my job and you're stuck to it you got to watch because underneath it you have an

opportunity to let go of feeling not heard or seen man write it down light it up light it really let it really go as deeply as thoroughly as you can let it go but as I said and the ones that are positive if they're going does that mean I'm losing if I'm letting go of negatives when negatives die am i letting go of positives when positives diagnol what you do is you integrate it and you become the good learn from the negatives absorb them integrate the positive Z that's mastery you're making everything into a positive

the negatives into a positive positive make sense so soak this in soak in the idea what are you hearing today about forgiveness anything you want in your life you can have a miracle brings in primary way to create a miracle givenness and forgiveness means responsibility let me see what I can learn from this I'm gonna learn from the negative that there was a negative pattern here and learned to be able to say goodbye to it not be afraid of saying goodbye to it positives I'm gonna say I can't thank you enough for their

wonderful things you brought to me and now how can i integrate that into my life you are so generous I think I'm gonna learn to be generous that's what I mean by that you were always so patient I think I'm gonna start practicing patience that's what we're talking about I either way I keep changing and for the better and the forgiveness is not just on people we've had in our lives that are challenging we also threw responsibility realize I on some level on some level was there to learn

something too so I don't just want to forgive the people that seemed hurtful I better also forgive myself for thinking I needed to learn something there and brought myself into that somehow you don't know how I have to know how you got there or why you're there past lives you know you don't have to get into you can know if it comes up great but you don't have to obsess on it or force it if you have a challenging relationship you have a feeling might be past life and it comes up and you see it in a dream a vision a psychic tells you boom

insights kind of cool they connect the dots but if you don't know you can still trust that there's some level of connection or lesson and learn it anyway you don't have to say well if this person you know took it nail tune with the paint job of my car I've got to think back maybe they had a chariot and I once you know in a past life at Babylon I'm pick the chariot wheel you know I'm broke a ball-bearing and caused them to have an accent you don't have to like go back to bed her and you know just know

that there's something there yeah probably yeah there's likely some something there some lesson and it's kind of beautiful when you do it in a casual way instead of all I probably did was Noddy instead my bad make it casual so the ego can't use it to pounce on you all right when you show like no charge it can't turn it back
