Holy Spirit Speaks Part 4 of 5
Remember this From My Universal Curriculum, Part 4

 

 

 

The Course or any other form of My Universal curriculum is not to be revered or made special. Most of the worlds wars today are rooted in the belief in separate religions. The escape from all concepts and beliefs is salvation. You don't have to seek for the light, because what is true is ever present. The aim is not to seek for what is true;the aim is to remove all blocks to loves awareness. In the end all belief is to be relinquished, because God is beyond belief. Many religions and spiritual leaders are stuck at this level of conceptual understanding (form), they do not see the superficiality of form, and A Course in Miracles is included in that,the worldly see the form as content within itself.   Pure content is abstraction and beyond all form. Remember this, "You are a perfect creation, and should experience awe only in the presence of the Creator of perfection."

 

The worldly fills its mind with superficial beliefs about God, Truth, and Spirit. All of this is superficial. The superficial cling, they are angry and violent when another doesn't accept its beliefs, they are jealous and envious when another seems to have something they want. They are furious if another doesn't accept their belief. All of this blocks Me from entering your mind and therefore denies true religion. The truly religious is beyond belief; they have seen the fallacy of words and concepts. Remember this, "I have made every effort to use words that are almost impossible to distort, but it is always possible to twist symbols around if you wish."

 

The worldly does not know how to love or know how to leave things be as they are. The worldly craves to be understood, to be loved and seen as special people. Remember this, "The body is the central figure in the dreaming of the world. There is no dream without it,nor does it exist without the dream in which it acts as if it were a person to be seen and be believed. It takes the central place in every dream, which tells the story of how it was made by other bodies, born into the world outside the body, lives a little while and dies, to be united in the dust with other bodies dying like itself. In the brief time allotted it to live, it seeks for other bodies as its friends and enemies. Its safety is its main concern. Its comfort is its guiding rule. It tries to look for pleasure, and avoid the things that would be hurtful. Above all, it tries to teach itself its pains and joys are different and can be told apart."

 

In the Holiness of the present moment no one is special, for your personal needs intrude on no one to make your brothers seem different. The belief that you are a person is the one fundamental problem you have. Remember this, "All mind is whole, and the belief that part of it is physical, or not mind, is a fragmented or sick interpretation. "

 

The worldly gives in order to receive, which is of the ego, not the Spirit. Giving and receiving are one, they are simultaneous and this truth stands outside of time, therefore true giving is receiving. Remember the miracle of my words, "No one can lose, and everyone must benefit. Each miracle is an example of what justice can accomplish when it is offered to everyone alike. It is received and given equally. It is awareness that giving and receiving are the same. Because it does not make the same unlike, it sees no differences where none exists. And thus it is the same for everyone, because it sees no differences in them. Its offering is universal, and it teaches but one message: What is God's belongs to everyone, and is his due."

 

You are forever seeking, either for recognition, security or something to believe in, a nation, an ideology, an interpretation, it doesn't matter; it is all insecure and misdirected loyalty. I have given you a picture but you are only seeing its frame. You do not know how to look. Look at the picture wholly. Do not let the frame (form of My Course) distract you.  Remember this, "You cannot have the frame without the picture. What you value is the frame, for there you see no conflict. Yet the frame is only the wrapping for the gift of conflict. The frame is not the gift. Be not deceived by the most superficial aspects of this thought system, for these aspects enclose the whole, complete in every aspect. Death lies in this glittering gift. Let not your gaze dwell on the hypnotic gleaming of the frame. Look at the picture, and realize that death is offered you."

 

It is easy to curse a government, a dictator, a murder; it is easy to curse another. But this very attitude of domination and control, this craving for power is in the minds of almost everyone. The seed of war is in everyone who perceives a world apart from oneself. The real question is, will you water the seed or pluck it before the seed takes root? Because a tree that bears no fruit will be cut away. Remember this, "The branch that bears no fruit will be cut off and will wither away. Be glad! The light will shine from the true Foundation of life, and your own thought system will stand corrected. It cannot stand otherwise. You who fear salvation are choosing death. Life and death, light and darkness, knowledge and perception, are irreconcilable. To believe that they can be reconciled is to believe that God and His Son can not. Only the oneness of knowledge is free of conflict. Your kingdom is not of this world because it was given you from beyond this world.

 

The worldly wars over its beliefs, its classes, and it seeming distinctions. There is no degree of war; a war is anything unlike perfect peace, either it's an irritation or a full on war between nations.  It's all the same. This is the authority problem, and is the only problem you really have. Until the source is healed there will always be confusion and hate, which is war. Remember this, " Besides your recognizing that thoughts are never idle, salvation requires that you also recognize that every thought you have brings either peace or war; either love or fear. A neutral result is impossible because a neutral thought is impossible. There is such a temptation to dismiss fear thoughts as unimportant, trivial and not worth bothering about that it is essential you recognize them all as equally destructive, but equally unreal. We will practice this idea in many forms before you really understand it…take not one step in the descent to hell. For having taken one, you will not recognize the rest for what they are. And they will, follow. Attack in any form has placed your foot upon the twisted stairway that leads from Heaven. Yet any instant it is possible to have all this undone. How can you know whether you chose the stairs to Heaven or the way to hell? Quite easily.
