A Crash Course in Miracles Philip Urso

The Power of our beliefs and where and how to change them.

We look again at what is valuable and what is of no value at all in relationships.

Episode 29 is about falling in love under the ego spell, how that works out,  and how we wake up. 

In essence, we make the mistake of looking to another person to complete us.  The course teaches that we are already complete and need only remember this to awaken.  What this means is, instead of looking to our loved one to make us feel whole, save, complete and perfect, we look to God, the eternal, the unchanging, the unchangeable, our true identity. 

The Holy Spirit coaches us on how to do this.  In short, we learn to value most our relationship to God.  Only then do all our other relationships (to people, things, circumstances) come into alignment. 

What we might learn from the BP diaster.
"Projection MAKES perception, and you CANNOT see beyond it.... God calls you and you do not hear, for you are preoccupied with your own voice."
"...Projection makes perception; the world you see is what you GAVE it, nothing more than that. But, though it is no more than that, it is not less. Therefore, to you, it is important. It is the witness to your state of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition. As a man thinketh, so does he perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but will to change your mind ABOUT the world. Perception is a RESULT, and not a cause. And that is why order of miracles is meaningless. Everything looked upon with vision is healed and holy. Nothing perceived without it means anything. And where there is no meaning, there is chaos.
Damnation is your judgment on YOURSELF. And this you WILL project upon the world. See it as damned, and all you see is what you did to hurt the Son of God. If you behold disaster and catastrophe, you tried to crucify him. If you see holiness and hope, you joined the Will of God to set him free. There is no choice that lies between these two decisions. And you will see the witness to the choice you made, and learn from this to RECOGNIZE the one you made. The world you see but shows you how much joy YOU have allowed yourself to see in you, and to accept as YOURS. And, if this IS its meaning, then the power to GIVE it joy MUST lie WITHIN you."
 

Second installment from the Santa Fe Tapes.  Funny, irreverent discussion.  New author Carrie Triffet, with authors Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Vieira, discusses on her her path from Buddhism to  ACIM, and her new book on the Course, Long Time No See. 

How your Fear Projector works

Perception is a mirror, not a fact.
