Lesson 19 - A Synopsis

A synopsis of Lesson 19 from Way of the Transformation: Peace

A Call to Praying Peace

For the first time, I am feeling a new kind of hope. Not one based on the call of religion alone, but hope born of

Leap of Faith

Jayem talks about taking a leap of faith, being truly helpful in the world and miracles. This video is an excerpt from Palpable Forgiveness Workshop

Lesson 19, Peace

Listen:

Peace

Therefore, the extension of the good, the holy and the beautiful needs to become your sole purpose - as it has become ours. For only when the mind is used for this purpose alone can there be the perfect remembrance of the Kingdom. And you have sought us out because you desire the Kingdom, because the weight of your illusions has become too painful. The games that you have sought to play within the dream of separation no longer satisfy, no longer seduce you, no longer gratify your imagination. And beneath all dreams, you have heard the call of the One who sent you forth, and asks you,

Little child, return!

I am with you still.

Let us create together the good, the holy and the beautiful.

The only difference that can yet seem to remain between us and yourself is that all of us involved in this work, from what you might perceive to be the “other side,” are merely beings, aspects of Mind like yourself, that, within the illusion of time, within the playing out of time, seem to have chosen before you to heal all illusion and return home. Therefore, we call to you from across the very thin veil of illusions that yet seems to keep you where you are - seemingly separate from us.

That illusion, by the way, is not the physical body, nor is it the physical dimension, since in Reality, the physical dimension does not exist. What exists is thought, streaming forth from mind, creating, or outpicturing, that which has been held within the mind. So the very physical body becomes only a symbol of what the mind has decided to believe:

Surely, I am separate from God.

That is the outpicturing I want.

So I will look upon a physical body,

identify myself with it,

and therefore seem to peer out from the body

and see great distance between myself and others.

And if there is a great distance between

myself and other bodies or forms,

then surely there is an unfathomable gulf between

myself and God.

But when perception has been cleansed, when perception has been purified, the body, itself, becomes transparent to consciousness, to the witnessing awareness of mind. And it sees no longer that with which it is identified. It sees only the phenomena of mental energy temporarily being played out in the field of space and time.

The body, itself, no longer becomes a barrier or obstacle to overcome. The body, itself, no longer is seen, or perceived, as something that can bring Love to it, or can reach out and attract or draw to itself what has been perceived as valuable in the world. Rather, the body becomes one thing: a temporary opportunity to extend the good, the holy, and the beautiful. In other words, even the body, itself, can have no purpose, save that which the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, the Right-mindedness within you, would give to the body.

Therefore, if you would know a body at peace, if you would know a body that serves only the function of being a communication device for the Love of God, cease in perceiving it as your own, and give up the apparent right to make decisions for yourself, in regard to the body.

We have suggested to you before that you cease using the term, “my or mine,” whenever you refer to the body. Merely refer to it as, “the body,” as a carpenter would pick up a tool and say, “the hammer, the saw,” or an artist would say, “the brush.” For the wise carpenter does not identify himself with the hammer or saw, and the wise artist does not feel neglected when the brush is laying in a tray. Wisdom, then, looks upon form as merely temporary communication devices. The delight is to extend the good, the holy, and the beautiful.

Illusions can seem to take many forms, yet they all have one source: a decision to perceive oneself as separate from God. The best way to do that is to convince yourself that because you are separate from God, there must be many things about you and your life that are out of alignment with the Will of God. Therefore, you will manifest many variations that seem to express the instability which is the effect of that one belief, one perception,

I am separate from God.

I have accomplished the impossible.

Let me keep it in place.

Illusions, then, while the form of them may seem to be many, are really one. And healing occurs when, in the depth of the mind, the decision is made to surrender, to give up the insane idea that one’s self could possibly exist apart from the Mind of God.
