The Third Jesus

I was reading Deepak Chopra’s book, The Third Jesus the other day. I really liked the idea he started with, that Jesus is more than a historical figure and a theological icon, but that his real message is one of personal transformation leading to awakening, or enlightenment. The idea is obvious, but I wondered if Deepak knows that Jesus is the author of A Course in Miracles, and why he didn’t even mention that. There are a lot of quotations in the Course that deal with the message of the New Testament and how it misrepresents what Jesus actually taught. It seems that Deepak wanted to stick with the Bible, so that’s fine with me too.

However, the Course is the actual way out of the separate state of mind that besets humanity at this time. It includes a masterpiece of transformation, the 365 lessons of the Workbook which is a mind training that leads you out of your current fear-based thought system and brings you into a brand new experience of love and light beyond your imaginings. It provides the blue-print for the second coming, or the awakening of YOUR mind. This is your spiritual rebirth or your coming into wholeness, or At-One-Ment, or one-mindedness. This is a required course and it is imperative that those who are really using it not as a way to achieve a more comfortable life on this planet, but as it is intended, to awaken from the illusion that this is reality.

When you awaken, you become a different species, a homo-illuminate mind. This means that you have no limitations in your awareness. Everything changes, your life, your relationships, your fundamental awareness of yourself as a separate being is blotted out and you know You. You realize that you are not confined to body and that you are whole. You convert any thoughts of fear automatically whenever they arise. You use every thought to release the idea of separate thoughts or consciousnesses. There is only One Mind and that is YOUR MIND.

It is a natural process of evolution that you awaken into the Singularity of Whole Mind or God-consciousness, as Deepak likes to put it. The only thing he misses is that this has nothing to do with mass human behavior. The salvation of the world is you awakening, it has nothing to do with others. You know yourself as One, as Whole, not a being in a body in a world of bodies. You lose the ability to maintain conflictual thoughts because the very nature of your Mind is non-conflictual. The experience of that is your resurrection. Your frequency changes to the point of flash out and pop, you’re gone from the world of separation.

Why is that? Because this is not a real place. Jesus states this so beautifully in the Course when Helen, the scribe, asks him if the resurrection was physical. His answer is “my body disappeared because I had no more illusions about it.” And in the section in the Manual for Teachers called “What is the Resurrection?”, he states that “Very simply, the resurrection is the overcoming or the surmounting of death. It is a reawakening or rebirth, a change of mind about the meaning of the world…it is the relinquishment of all other purposes, all other interests, all other wishes and all other concerns. It is the single desire of the Son for the Father.”

“The resurrrection is the denial of death being the assertion of life. Thus is all the thinking of the world reversed entirely. Life is now recognized as salvation, and pain and misery of any kind perceived as hell. Love is no longer feared, but gladly welcomed. Idols have disappeared, and the remembrance of God shines unimpeded across the world.”

Isn’t it amazing that we go “toward love still hating it” because it is not love we are afraid of but truly what we have made of love. We think love will destroy us, but real love, the love of God is what you are. You cannot alter yourself because you didn’t create yourself. You already are saved, because you already are created perfect.

The problem I have with Deepak is that he still thinks that salvation is a long way off. That it will be accomplished en masse. He hasn’t obviously experienced the singularity that he is dreaming a dream and that it is up to him and him alone to undergo the experience of resurrection or awakening. All is whole. Everything is one and there is no possibility of conflict arising in the mind. Period. End of story.

There is no multiplicity in Heaven. It is impossible to describe, because the you that demands a description is the problem itself.

You are separate or you wouldn’t be here. You are afraid of love or you would be totally overjoyed to know that you are simply asleep and you can awaken right here and now. Jesus resurrected and when that happened, it happened for all. The only thing that doesn’t know it is you. So you have a problem and it is called your self-identity. What you made up to hide from God. But, thankfully, it isn’t real.

So, if you really want to know and experience the message of Jesus of Nazareth, and I mean experience it, because the only way to know anything is to experience it first hand. Theoretical teachings are, ultimately, meaningless. What matters is that you experience who you are, perfect and whole as God created you. You do not have the power to blot out reality and make up a new reality with you as the center of the universe. I’m sorry, it just isn’t possible. There is a loving God who did not let you actually do this. You have simply put yourself to sleep. That is all.

I truly hope this clears up all the confusion. And Jesus is real, and he did come to save you and he did save you! Isn’t it time that you know this, in your depths, in your heart of hearts? Your awakening is at hand. It is deeply personal to you. You cannot describe it or even share it sometimes. But, I promise you, it is beyond your wildest dream.

I love you and bless you with all my heart!

Ahimsa…the practice of non-violence.

I was recently asked to write something about Ahimsa, or non-violence, by my yoga teacher. I am currently in massage school and this is a class I am taking. I was surprised and bit delighted to find that this yoga class has outside assignments and you have to actually think about the practice of yoga. This made me sit down for a moment and actually write something again. I haven’t had any time for blogging recently because of being in school full time. But this was a moment I had to do it. So here it is…hope it helps.

Ahimsa: The idea that no one need suffer in order for me to be free.

First of all, mind is singular. I am only picturing a world of suffering that I made up. Everything I see is a reflection of my inner state of mind and my thoughts about myself. I have to accept this premise first. It is fundamental to the teaching. I am only here to let this dream of death go. I cannot be in darkness forever. This is a world of temptation, of idols or things you want to make you feel safe or loved. None of which is true. Underneath is the feeling of separateness, or hell. This is always there until you wake up to find that it is not so. Finding out what is true is the purpose of the dream.

So, everything is an idea But what does that mean, and how does that help you? Many years ago, I was in a great depression and it occurred to me to work with my thoughts. I don’t know how that happened, but I found that the thought comes first, then the experience. If I focus on my mind and allow my thoughts to come into my awareness without judgment, I become aware of the source of a problem. The source of a problem is always my idea about it. Because I am in a seemingly separate body, I feel separate. Because of this inherent feeling of separation, fear arises.

So, the only problem I ever really have is this inherent feeling of separateness. This is the cause of all discomfort, stress, or illness. My purpose in this life, therefore is to become free of this. All attack thoughts are fear based and come from the idea of separation from everything.

My dedication is to my awakening and I practice a mind training which allows the release of these attack thoughts. This is based upon A Course in Miracles and the teachings of Jesus, enlightened master of Nazareth. He is my guide and my teacher. His teaching is forgiveness through a physical and mental transformation.

My choices are based upon the idea that all attack or violence is due to wrong-mindedness. It is based upon lack, or an idea that I am not free, not happy, not able to achieve or do what I want. But it is a relinquishment. I must let go of my idea of what I want to happen, what I think will make me happy, and allow a new idea to arise. My willingness to allow my thoughts to change is all that is required. But it takes much persistence and dedication, because being non-violent really means being compassionate toward others and myself. This is also called non-defensiveness of true Christian teaching, the idea “be as little children”.

If I spend each day with the idea that my mind is naturally whole, and I can forgive and all attack will disappear, this becomes my experience. This means getting very quiet and listening to the inner voice within me to see what it is I need to look at within myself right now. Paying attention to my inner state, to my mind and the thoughts I am thinking is my practice. It is ongoing because mind is always active. But I cannot achieve anything. I have to let go of trying to achieve and let the new idea dawn upon me. It is a miracle of grace that I only have to allow, to receive.

I notice today that I have changed from the way I used to think. I used to put others first, my husband, my children and everyone else. I learned that this isn’t love. It was an attack upon myself. I have learned to love myself, take care of myself and extend the peace of this experience to all. Mind is singular and there really is no one outside of me. Love is real and everyone I see or think of is loved and included. Exclusion is attack and stems from fear. I won’t be looking outside for my Self, I am simply That.

Extension of love is natural and easy. There need be no real effort on my part to extend love, because love is what I am. Love never harms anything or anyone. Love cannot be defined. It is whole, perfect and true.

So, what is real? God. He is real and my relationship with Him becomes very desirable once I hit the point of realization that nothing in this world satisfies me. God is love. God created you perfect and you are right now perfect as He created you. You have nothing to say about this. You can deny it, but that will not make it real. Only the love of God is real. It is unfathomable how much He cares for you. May you find Him now.

I love you.

Letting Go of Fear

Is it really that simple?  Love is letting go of fear?  Did you ever stop to  realize that you cannot be afraid in reality, because fear actually has no source?  You are creating fear and making it real because you don’t trust God, or eternal love to take care of every detail of your life for you.

Fear is a killer.  Yet, you cannot be killed.  Your body is not who you are.  You are an eternal Son of the Creative Source of all that is.  Now, if that is true, all fear stems from the idea that you are a body and can be terminated. It is a lie.  Here you are.  You are alive and living now.  Can you really end if God is Life and He created you in His image?

I recently had an experience like this.  I walked into the company where I was working for six months and the room was full of my co-workers.  We were read a letter, handed forms to fill out and all fired.  This is a major corporation in America that is very successful.  I was so happy to have this job and all at once, boom, it was gone.

It was a wonderful experience.  Because as I go through the emotions of what a lot of associations on this planet are now having to go through, the first was that this felt incredibly surreal.  I had a good job with potential for what I thought would be a future, and then, in one moment it was just not there.  We were all celebrating how successful we were at our Christmas party a few weeks before this happened.

This is what death is like.  For a while, you go along thinking everything is honky dory and you have what you want and feel somewhat secure, and bang!…suddenly, everything is changed.  What you thought was real, was secure, was nothing.

It brings me into a faith in God, and forces me to discover what I truly put my trust in.  Do I trust the temporal world where everyone apparently is born and then gets old and dies?  Do I put my faith in nothing?  Or do I step back, accept the situation entirely and release my ideas about it all?

It was hard to maintain an idea that I was safe because I had a job.  I kept feeling the insecurity, when I would go to the bank and put my check in and wonder how long it would last.  Can I put my faith in the paycheck?  My coworkers would talk about job cuts and I constantly felt the unreliability of working for a major corporation.  It was deeply impersonal as well.  Although our department was the most productive for the company for two years in a row, we still were let go.  There was no real logical explanation.  We were handed the envelopes and told to leave immediately. My boss had worked there for over ten years and she was the top manager for this department for two years in a row.

I have only to rely upon the teaching of the Course in Miracles.  Do not put your faith in the ephemeral, the temporal.  It has no basis for your faith because it is illusionary.  It brings me into a deep need for trust in God.

Does God know of my conflict?  No.  Does God know of me?  Yes.  He loves me infinitely.  He does not know of my little life here on a tiny planet with concerns about bodies and whether or not I have a house or a job.  Yet He loves me and knows that every need I have is already met.

My faith is in God.  I have been through many moments like this one throughout my life  and they always bring me into a deeper trust, a deeper connection to God, to my brothers and to myself.  I let the miracle occur.

What is a miracle?  It is a correction of my errors of thought.  It is a celestial speedup when everything changes suddenly.  Like the man you were married to suddenly has a new girlfriend and you are disposable.   This happened to me recently too.  It is incredible how fast the speedup is and how intense the fear of loss.  You just have to feel it and release it.

You are being sped up by all the trials and seeming disasters or successes that constitute your life.  I had a lot of money once and found that I was miserable.  It didn’t make me happy.  I didn’t know what to do with it and realized it was what I wanted, but it meant nothing to me.  So I got on my knees and begged for help because I knew I had a major problem and it was my state of mind.  I was still separate and I knew it.

I was taken into a realm of light and peace and joy and indescribable passion.  I was shown who I am.  I was given the Keys to the Kingdom.  I came into a new experience of myself that has deepened with time.  I find myself in a state of freedom and light.  I have had to learn forgiveness.  But I couldn’t really forgive, I had to ask for help with that too.

I do feel fear, but I release it and let it go, and this is how my life has changed.  My fear does not run me any more.  I just allow it and feel all the feelings around it and it releases.  Because it is not real, it actually has no source.  There is nothing about fear that is real, nothing at all.  I know it doesn’t feel that way when you’re in it.  But it is getting your attention so that you begin to let go.

Only love is real.  Nothing real can be threatened.  Nothing unreal exists.  Herein lies the peace of God.

Do the workbook of the Course and you will become free.  Your concerns about your tiny life here on planet earth will dissolve.  Nothing I see means anything is a kick in the ass.  Just do it.  Lesson #1.  Then go to the next one, lesson #2.  I have given everything I see all the meaning it has for me.

This brings you into self-responsibility.  You have to take an inventory. What is it I value here?  Do I hang onto past judgments, hurts.  Am I angry?  Afraid?  Of course you are.  You would not be here if you weren’t afraid of something.  Be honest.  Do you give energy to your resentments? Are you afraid of not having what you need in the future?

Do you let fear and resentment run your life?  If you are in the process of releasing fear, you are training your mind to think with God.  You are in His Loving Mind.  You cannot separate yourself from Him.  You only think so.  That is why you need mind training.  You have deluded yourself into thinking you can solve your problem of separation.  And you can’t.  Only God can.

Start communicating with Him.  Do it every day.  Do it every moment when you feel afraid.   Go ahead, get on your kees.  You can do it.  Just ask and you will be led on your awakening.  Every step of the way is gracefully planned just for you. Begin to trust God now.  He knows of your need.  He has already fulfilled it.  It is time to wake up to the Reality of His eternal Love for you and all of creation.

Start thinking of how you can help someone else.  Start giving!  This is the answer.  Giving is everything because God only gives.  You will feel better and be less concerned with selfish things.  Your only question should be, how can I help?  You will find happiness lies in your willingness to be of service to your brother.  Let go and let God show you the key to happiness.

I love you!

Love to Give

My only function here is to be happy.  Is that difficult?  At times, yes!  I cannot be happy if you are not.  I have to extend my light, my joy into your mind, because you are me!  I have recently taken up massage to offer my love and healing energy to everyone.  I find myself so happy after I have done this, that I cannot imagine what took my so long to do it.

I have been in the healing arts for a long time and have trained my mind and have been miraculously healed of every disease, including depression and anxiety.  I only know that I asked for help all along the way and the answers kept coming in.  All forms of lack, littleness and fear are being removed from my mind.  I came to offer this healing light energy to the world.  I don’t have any other function.

I love A Course in Miracles.  It is what healed me entirely of my dream of death.  I know that I am eternal and therefore so are you.  I cannot continue to pretend that this is not true.  Human minds are really pathetic in that they always misuse their mind.  It is time to really become aware that surrender is the key. A relinquishment of my ideas is how I give myself to the totality of the experience of oneness, of love, of divinity.

Thank God there is a loving God who knows not of death, sickness, suffering or fear.  He knows not of it.  He has already healed your mind of this idea.  Your job is just to accept it.  Can you accept that you are perfect, whole and complete.  A perfect reflection of His Love?

Wayne Dyer has been teaching this on PBS recently and I am always amazed at the simplicity of the message.  It is great.  It is time.  I love knowing that the message of divine love is the one thing the human consciousness is finally embracing.  It is the Answer to all the conceivable problems of human existence.

My suffering and depression led me to A Course in Miracles.  It is really amazing how it occurred.  It is a simple story.  Basically, Jesus woke me up out of my dream of death, fear and anxiety.  I had had enough pain.  I asked for help and I was given A Course in Miracles.  This is demonstrated beautifully in the movie: A Course in Miracles Unleashed.

Love came and got me and showed me that all this was an illusion and that I didn’t belong in an illusion.  It was dramatic and ecstatic and I left this world.  This is really only one experience of a continuing reunion I have with God and all my brothers.  I connect into the ONE MIND all the time. I feel more and more in love every moment.  I cannot believe this has happened and I am so grateful.

I can only give of myself right now totally and feel this love flowing through me.  Can you feel it?  I am here.  There are many awakened brothers on the planet now bringing in a lot of light.  I hope you find your connection to this light and write to me.  I am so grateful that you have found this light and are learning that it is all you want.  IT IS EVERYTHING.

Jesus led me into this light along with the Master Teacher and many awakened minds who are with me. Let me know if you need any help.  I can only give, because God only gives.  Giving is the only way to experience abundance, pure, full abundant love that is what you are.  Give, give and give more than you feel comfortable giving.  It is the key to happiness.

You can only give to yourself, there is only ONE MIND… so give totally and you will know who you are.  Keep giving to everyone and everything.  Don’t worry about the future, or how you will survive.  You will be given all the support you need if you only give.  You will discover yourself and your loved ones all around you are only waiting for you to give yourself to them!

What have you got to lose?  You cannot lose if you always give.  You receive as you give.  You are ONE MIND.  There is no loss because God is love and you are that love.  I know it seems simple. IT IS! Because God is total simplicity.  There are no complications in love.  You complicate it.  You put demands on it.  Just let it be what it is and you will be free.  Just be yourself and give and you will know who you are.

Love and blessings!

Coming Into The Light

Everywhere I look I read about the idea that there is only One Mind. This idea stems from the fact of singularity, or One Creator. I love it. I don’t know if this means anything to a human, split mind, but when you accept total responsibility for every thought you think, every experience you have, suddenly it begins to dawn on you that you are all there is. Your perspective from objectivity is that there are separate bodies, separate people in the world all acting separately. Until you accept that you are the one projecting all this imagery out from the visual cortex of the back of your brain, you do believe you are seeing multiple people and places.

To find that you are the dreamer, you alone are dreaming this world and all your experiences are the result of your dreaming a separate dream, is a big shock. It rarely happens without some sort of breakdown or realization or disaster within your life that brings you into the admission that you have no idea what is going on.

Your attempts at solving the problem of separation finally bring you into an awareness that life in this state is totally chaotic, because you actually have no control over the dream and what the figures in your dream do. They are all self-contained, as are you. Loss, death, illness, pain all enter into it and seem to be your reality.

For me, I finally saw that even with all my losses and successes as a self-identity on planet earth, I was still separate! This idea was excruciating to me. I begged for help. I asked my savior to please help me! And the immediate response was loud and clear. “Follow instructions.” I listened, I got really quiet and I began to hear chanting in my mind so loud and clear it was unmistakable. I went to an Ashram for 11 days and released so much pain, guilt and loss, that I was finally released.

After that, my experiences deepened. My life changed dramatically. I was given a video of the Master Teacher a month or two later. I felt him take me into a state of mind that was completely not here. I found myself in a lot of light energy and my body seemed to be unable to resist any of it. I was taken out of this realm entirely for a long period of time.

This single experience showed me that all that all my petty ideas of what thought I was were completely wrong, and that my life indeed did have a purpose. I am here to bring in lots of light and heal and forgive. I am, indeed the light of the world.

Jesus has always been with me since I was a little child. I had no fear of him and felt as a child that he helped me a lot. Light experiences used to infuse me with his love and I felt so happy just being alone and quiet in my room.

So, as an adult, my whole purpose has been to follow in his direction, to be led into a new realm, into the light that is our reality. This is now all I want and whenever I feel disheartened or confused, I remember that the light is the healing agency. And I am that light. You are that light.

You can erase all memories of pain, loss, conflict and death. These are simply stories you have made up and have been living over and over again.

This premise is essential: you must accept that you are totally responsible for your dream…all of it. That way, you can truly find out that your purpose here is not of you, it comes from out of time, if you will. And your job is to simply accept this role, this responsibility. It really doesn’t matter if you believe it or not. You don’t have to, you simply are asked to apply the lessons. Apply healing love and forgiveness to every situation in which you find yourself. That way, you will soon discover that you are the light of the world.

I have been reading a book called Zero Limits by Joe Vitale and Ihaleakala Hew Len. This is all about accepting total responsibility for everything you see or think. It is about healing the memories, cleaning or clearing them from your subconscious. I love it. I have been applying this to my life for 20 years now by way of the Workbook of A Course in Miracles. I love that this message is coming into fruition in lots of ways now and people are realizing how powerful it is.

The loveliness of this book and its message is really needed right now. I wonder if Dr. Hew Len has heard of A Course in Miracles, but it doesn’t really matter. All I know is that as I apply the simple process he prescribes in this book: I love you, I’m sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you!.

Do this and all your frustration and problems, which are just memories of loss, or lack, can be released instantly. You begin to feel that the source of you is Divine Love. There is nothing to fear because You are everything! You are the light of the world! You are healed and you can heal. This is the way out of the dream in its entirety.

It is such a simple message and application of the Course: I keep this on my desk at work: Ceeport. Clear, erase, erase, return to port. Port is zero point. Divine Love, in other words. I am currently selling vacation packages to people to give them a new experience of their lives where they actually get away and have some fun and take a break from their lives of working all the time. Amazing, 30% of Americans don’t even take vacations. My sales started going up now that I am applying this. I constantly say to people, I love you, forgive me, I’m sorry, Thank you! Not out loud, but silently before I call them and after they hang up. I never get frustrated now when they don’t buy, I just bless them. I feel great because I am just reminding myself of who I am. I am singular. There is nothing outside of me!

I only want to extend divine love to everyone and everything. It is the only thing worth valuing. Money, success, kids, all of it is great, but really, I just want to be free from the constraints of a physical existence on planet earth. I don’t want anything from anyone, I just want to extend, to give, to let everyone know there is a God of love and you can just take a chance on LOVE. Not only that, but it is my only function here. I am here to be that light and to give and let go of my own silly ideas of death. Because, truly if you are as God created you, you cannot die.

No, you can’t. Don’t think you can, because you can’t. My mother seemingly died three years ago, and I have been in more communication with her now than when she was in her body. I feel her around me and I talk to her all the time. This is real. We are not bodies!

The Master Teacher released his body in May of this year, and I feel him closer than ever before. Now, it is totally up to me to stay in communication with him and with Jesus and stay on track. I have to. This is my goal, my purpose and my life. Divine love is eternal and cannot die. That is a fact. You are coming into the light of realization that this is an illusion of death. You cannot die. The light of God’s love shows up and dissolves your petty ideas of separation. It cannot not.

So, I really hope this helps. I just want you to know I love you and let me know how I can help!

Blessings,

Monica
