Holy Spirit Speaks Part 5 of 5

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

 

To transfer My ideas to ones life wholly opens the mind to knowing. To be free of confusion and fear is to be truly religious. Only the total transfer of the My Universal Curriculum (which is rooted in the idea of forgiveness) will undo the confusion between form and content. Remember this, "The only judgment involved is the Holy Spirit's one division into two categories; one of love, and the other the call for love. You cannot safely make this division, for you are much too confused either to recognize love, or to believe that everything else is nothing but a call for love. You are too bound to form, and not to content. What you consider content is not content at all. It is merely form, and nothing else. For you do not respond to what a brother really offers you, but only to the particular perception of his offering by which the ego judges it."

 

I have said many times before, confusion will end completely when My Course is used as a ladder for the specific (worldly) oriented mind, so that it can be launched into abstraction through a series of concepts that undo themselves. The mind is too attached to make the giant leap. So I have given you a conceptual course to loosen your mind into that which is naturally abstract. The point is not too-camp out or get stuck on a metaphor or concept. Neither are we to organize or conceptualize spirit within the world. This is a contradiction and denies My Curriculum.  The point is to yield into abstraction by loosening the mind from form- we use this stepping stone approach until all concepts has been transcended.  Remember this, "Thus were specifics made. And now it is specifics we must use in practicing. We give them to the Holy Spirit, that He may employ them for a purpose which is different from the one we gave to them. Yet He can use but what we made, to teach us from a different point of view, so we can see a different use in everything…This world is full of miracles. They stand in shining silence next to every dream of pain and suffering, of sin and guilt. They are the dream's alternative, the choice to be the dreamer, rather than deny the active role in making up the dream. They are the glad effects of taking back the consequence of sickness to its cause. The body is released because the mind acknowledges "this is not done to me, but I am doing this". And thus the mind is free to make another choice instead. Beginning here, salvation will proceed to change the course of every step in the descent to separation, until all the steps have been retraced, the ladder gone, and all the dreaming of the world undone."

Level confused teachers and students equate truth with conceptual thought, therefore denying My ladder. These confused teachers are teachers of ego. I am calling you from the world and one needs to be very clear on all worldly values, assumptions, so one can be a teacher of God. A true teacher of God can teach through silence, they teach through the joy of being one. There is nothing to do but Be Who You Are. The true teacher can teach without words.  I am calling all to teach only love, but only a few hear My Voice. Like I have said, "To teach is to demonstrate. There are only two thought systems, and you demonstrate that you believe one or the other is true all the time. From your demonstration others learn, and so do you. The question is not whether you will teach, for in that there is no choice. The purpose of the course might be said to provide you with a means of choosing what you want to teach on the basis of what you want to learn. You cannot give to someone else, but only to yourself, and this you learn through teaching. Teaching is but a call to witnesses to attest to what you believe. It is a method of conversion. This is not done by words alone. Any situation must be to you a chance to teach others what you are, and what they are to you. No more than that, but also never less."

 

Many of My teachers and students of the universal curriculum proclaim to be teachers of God. They spend much of their time picking passages (quoting scripture), focusing on precise terminology (form). They use their intellectual stances to prove their assumptions. Some make personal careers on these assumptions; and many teachers' right books without questioning their assumptions.  Most books are based on ones personal assumptions and yet they proclaim they have the truth. They do this to establish their opinions, to solidify their egos. This is missing the mark of My Curriculum. The undoing of the ego is the only purpose for time and the world. This is not about good or bad, because you are beyond this world of duality. But those who cling to interpretations - cling to the word - cling to ones earthly lives are far from the truth and there is a consequence for this; there is pain and destruction. Remember this, "The arrogant must cling to words, afraid to go beyond them to experience <which> might affront their stance. Yet are the humble free to hear the Voice which tells them what they are, and what to do."

 

Its insistence, its stance, shows the egos attempts to preserve itself through a conceptual identity of its particular spiritual path, an identity based on conceptual thought. True spirituality isn't about having a belief system, even a superior belief system that is to be revered. It is about undoing, it's about the Atoning of all beliefs. Once the mind is free of belief, it can reference from abstraction, which is beyond belief.  But until abstraction is experienced, beliefs will be our tool – they can be nothing more. True spirituality is learning to accept perception as it is, seeing life now. Remember, "Complete abstraction is the natural condition of the mind. But part of it is now unnatural. It does not look on everything as one. It sees instead but fragments of the whole, for only thus could it invent the partial world you see. The purpose of all seeing is to show you what you wish to see. All hearing but brings to your mind the sounds it wants to hear."

Let me ask this question: Can the mind, <which> is not of this world, ever free itself from the desire for the world? Lowering the mask of personhood is the only purpose for the world. Lowering the mask of personhood frees the mind. Allow the persona to crumble, allow it to fall away!  Let go of your ideas of family, religion, spirituality, God, truth, let go of all belief and values of the world. My angels sing through out heaven as you see the superficiality of all belief and theology. When we can see the attempt to be spiritual through a belief system is missing the mark - then the way out of illusions is seen and recognized. Understanding this is a giant leap towards the preparation of Knowledge. Remember this, "Simply do this: Be still, and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is; all concepts you have learned about the world; all images you hold about yourself. Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or false, or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy, and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught, nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. Forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God."

 

What do you feel? Is peace in your awareness? Are you certain which way you go? And are you sure the goal of Heaven can be reached? If not, you walk alone. Ask, then, your Friend to join with you, and give you certainty of where you go."

 

InLove,
