Tips for Gentle Healing Year 2 – Day 190- NTI Galatians 2

August 23, 2021

NTI Galatians comes to us from awake consciousness as the voice of Jesus. It harnesses the essence of his experience as a human who awakened to truth and shares the simplicity of awakening from his point of view. As NTI Galatians 1 said:

“I am the Way and the Life. I come to you on this day to clear up your confusion, for there have been many thoughts that have confused you until now. Do not fret over your confusion. It is nothing and can be easily laid aside when you see the simplicity of love as I offer it to you.”

Yesterday’s reading spoke of a belief. It said:

“I know well of this belief, for I experienced it once myself. But I have been made free by My own choice to release the belief that isn’t true.”

Today’s reading tells us what that belief is:

“You believe in separation.”

It also points out the way to let go of that belief and awaken to truth:

“Through acceptance, not judgment, the Light of Heaven is yours.”

This isn’t the first time that we’ve been told judgment (or declaration) is the cause of illusion and acceptance (or Loving All) is a means to awaken.

As you contemplate today’s reading:

  1. Reference Day 138 and Day 157, and then realize that we are being told that letting go of judgment and accepting what is as it is is the simple way to awaken.
  2. Consider how you fall for the deceit that judgment is sometimes justified, a deceit that declares illusion real.
  3. Ask yourself if you’d rather feel righteous in a world that is made to be different from truth, or if you prefer to awaken and realize truth as it is.

Note: The next tip will be available tomorrow morning after 3:50am ET at this link.

Thoughts of Awakening # 190

The vision of
the one unifying field
lets you see you
in all things and
in everyone.

This is seeing life
as life
in the celebration
of life.

Take a moment now
to feel and appreciate God.

You are reaching beyond appearances
to formless beauty
that cannot change.

Tips for Gentle Healing Year 2 – Day 189- NTI Galatians 1

August 22, 2021

Speaking of those who have awakened to the First Principle of God, NTI 1st Corinthians 16 said:

“One who knows wholeness after experiencing the lack of wholeness knows illusion is no substitute for truth. He shall not choose illusion again.

But, being one mind with all that he thought was separate, he shall remain as a memory to call the mind that sleeps into wakefulness, that all that is whole may know Itself as one and whole again.”

When I received NTI Galatians, inner wisdom came to me as the voice of Jesus.

As A Course in Miracles Clarification of Terms  says:

“The name of Jesus is the name of one who was a man but saw the face of Christ in all his brothers and remembered God.  So he became identified with Christ, a man no longer, but at one with God.  The man was an illusion, for he seemed to be a separate being, walking by himself, within a body that appeared to hold his self from Self, as all illusions do.  Yet who can save unless he sees illusions and then identifies them as what they are?  Jesus remains a Savior because he saw the false without accepting it as true.  And Christ needed his form that He might appear to men and save them from their own illusions.”

Through the Creative Principle, consciousness can appear as the re-enlivened form of a master who no longer exists. It’s as if the breeze of wisdom blows through a memory and temporarily re-invokes a familiar form.

Why?

As the Clarification of Terms  explains:

“… time needs symbols, being itself unreal.”

Jesus no longer exists, since Jesus was a temporary manifestation in time. However, because awakening occurred through that form, the form continues to be used by consciousness. A personification of reality is helpful for as long as we see ourselves as persons.

NTI Galatians came in Jesus’ voice. When NTI Galatians says “I” or “Me,” it refers us to the memory of Jesus. It directs our attention to one who experienced humanness as fully as we experience it now, and then transcended the beliefs and perceptions that we experience to realize truth without compromise. This memory is helpful, because if one human can awaken to reality, another human can do it too. The human is not limited, because identification with a human is a temporary cloak, and the consciousness that shines through the human is altogether unlimited.

A Course in Miracles Clarification of Terms  says:

“There is no need for help to enter Heaven for you have never left.  But there is need for help beyond yourself as you are circumscribed by false beliefs of your Identity, which God alone established in reality.  Helpers are given you in many forms, although upon the altar they are one. …”

Is [Jesus] God’s only Helper?  No, indeed.  For Christ takes many forms with different names until their oneness can be recognized.

Thoughts of Awakening # 189

Continuous focus on Source
is continuous awareness of life
and the flow of life.
This is to be connected
through awareness
with the all
as the one unifying field.

Being connected as
the one unifying field
is not seeing yourself
as apart from it
or apart from anything.

This is to make no distinction
and to see no separate parts
and no varying levels of importance.

All is one
in a perfect flow
of harmony.

~From our Holy Spirit

8/22/2021~Movie Discussion Group: 12 Monkeys

August 22, 2021

Listen to the Recording

12 Monkeys is a 1995 American science fiction film directed by Terry Gilliam, inspired by Chris Marker’s 1962 short film La Jetée, starring Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe, and Brad Pitt, with Christopher Plummer and David Morse in supporting roles.

In a future world devastated by disease, a convict is sent back in time to gather information about the man-made virus that wiped out most of the human population on the planet. James Cole, a prisoner of the state in the year 2035, can earn parole if he agrees to travel back in time and thwart a devastating plague. The virus has wiped out most of the Earth’s population and the remainder live underground because the air is poisonous. Returning to the year 1990, six years before the start of the plague, Cole is soon imprisoned in a psychiatric facility because his warnings sound like mad ravings. There he meets a scientist named Dr. Kathryn Railly and Jeffrey Goines, the mad son of an eminent virologist. Cole is returned by the authorities to the year 2035 and finally ends up at his intended destination in 1996.

Pitt was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and he won a Golden Globe Award for his performance. The film also won and was nominated for various categories at the Saturn Awards.

The movie is about correcting a mistake made in the past in order to save the world and make it a better place.  The primary theme is about facing fear and the desire to find love in an unloving world. As we watch this movie, we can relate to today’s Covid fear relating to sickness and death.

The movie is available on Amazon Prime, Vudu, Itunes, and YouTube.

Rev. George Maddox facilitated Movie Discussion Group.

Something Genuine: “Be Humble & Other Lessons Through the Philosophy of Water”

August 22, 2021

In this program, we watched and discussed a selected TED talk. TED talks follow a unique format. Speakers at TED events have a maximum of 18 minutes to share their messages, which are delivered in highly polished, succinct speeches. TED talks are delivered by people from all walks of life on a multitude of subjects. A great many of these talks are about the insights gained by ordinary people–insights gained through extraordinary experiences or based on their contemplation of the ordinary events of their lives. Either way, their insights are genuine—not based upon theory or dogma, but through experience.

 Listen to the Recording

The title for this Ted Talk is: “Be Humble and Other Lessons Through the Philosophy of Water” The Speaker is Raymond Tang.

How do we find fulfillment in a world that’s constantly changing? Raymond Tang struggled with this question until he came across the ancient Chinese philosophy of the Tao Te Ching. In it, he found a passage comparing goodness to water, an idea he’s now applying to his everyday life. In this charming talk, he shares three lessons he’s learned so far from the “philosophy of water.” “What would water do?” Tang asks. “This simple and powerful question … has changed my life for the better.”

This group was facilitated by Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert.
