A Rapid Conversion From Darkness To Light

The solution is never contained in the mechanics

This is called A Course in the Miracles of the memories that I hold in my mind that cannot not contain a beginning and an end within, say to me, “invention.” See, the mechanics of your body formulation are very obviously not creative. You know they are not. You describe the universe out there, the billions of stars and galaxies, yet you hold yourself in a mechanical conveyance of conceptual thought. Are you hearing me at all? You can’t go anywhere; you can’t go beyond the speed of light. You’re trapped in the mechanics of the invention of time, which is what space is.

You don’t like it. “I am going to be very real...” There is no reality, there isn’t anything real about you. Your body only lasted for the fraction of the second in the inclusion of the mechanics of yourself in space/time, your DNA, ideas you have about yourself, your fifty thousand years, a thousand, a million year formulation of the idea, but it’s all mechanical. Obviously the simple solution is, you know perfectly well that you don’t know who you are or what you’re doing. Yet it’s impossible that you don’t know. So as long as you remain mechanical, say to me, “I can die.”

Well, of course, because you’re a mechanical body of formulation! Obviously God doesn’t die. That is, He doesn’t eliminate Himself, but you are successful in the mechanical-isms... I love to teach it when it is being heard.

Listen, I am going to read you from quite late in the idea of the Teachers Manual in the formulation of you. What is the real world then? Let’s try it. Then I’ll do a little John: 14, because obviously I am a mechanical idea that knows the reality of the universe. All I’m meeting are other mechanical figures that represent themselves at 186,000 miles a second, in which case they are obviously not going anywhere.

If I don’t get a chance, my mind in my memory of you, is reminding you that in the mind training you were successful at coming here… I am going to teach choice for a minute. Because you are mechanical, you represent ideas of contraptual ideas that then have the value that’s contained within them.

You are a mechanic. You are a physicist. You have the idea within your mind
about the universe, but you are mechanical. There is no way you can do it.

How do you do it? You use the Mind of God.

Now I am going to try it. Listen, what about this real mechanical world?

The real world is also a symbol, like the rest of what perception offers. Yet it stands for what is opposite to what you make. Your world is seen through eyes of fear, and brings the witnesses of terror to your mind. The real world cannot be perceived except through eyes forgiveness blesses, so they see a world where terror is impossible, and witnesses to fear can not be found.

Can you see that? Can you see what I am saying? I am mechanical, but I am offering you a more rapid conversion of the distance between darkness and light. Listen.

The real world holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your world; a sure correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle which your world contains. The real world shows a world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a mind at peace. Nothing but rest is there. There are no cries of pain and sorrow heard, for nothing there remains outside forgiveness. And the sights are gentle. Only happy sights and sounds can reach the mind that has forgiven itself.

I am going to teach for a minute. You practice ideas of conceptual association in which you are meeting and recognizing mechanic-isms; it’s termed “conflict,” very simply because the mind that is separate from yours appears to be conflictual. So you find within your mechanic-isms ideas of solution within your mind. This is my entire teaching; this is the teaching of Jesus, and we’re going to read about it. Obviously there is a whole universe out there. You know that there is power a billion times greater than this, because you’ve told me there is. Yet you appear to be locked in the idea of a mechanical definition, utilizing thought forms.

So in order to offer you the solution I have to take your thought forms, because obviously if you’re contained in here – you’ve got one little sun, yes or no? You’ve got one little sun going around one little planet, but you know perfectly well that you’re mechanical. Come on, it’s time for you to begin to look. Now, you begin to acknowledge that you are, but yet you can’t seem to find the solution, and I am offering you my certainty that the solution is never contained in the mechanics, since creation, that I just read you, is a single reality as you awaken from the dream of what you are.

The only thing in all the universe that does not know what it is, is an apparent objective condition that calls itself a “Human Being.” This condition is momentary and completely transient. It is a unique manifestation of an impossible correlation of a temporal/spatial awareness with the being of eternal reality.

I am in a concept of you. I am attempting to influence you in your religion, where you know perfectly well, shall I teach for a minute? – that appearing all around you are figures that are obviously in different cycles of space/time, and each one of them is representing himself in what he finds to be a correlation of space/time, but he perceives them - we use the term “dark” here. Say to me, “dark characters.”

Oh yeah. This is why you are afraid of yourself. You establish ideas of holding yourself together in the mechanics that you’ve established, but you keep breaking down! See? Can you hear this at all? This is why at 186,000 miles a second, as you built these big places that you’re going out in the universe and shoot off rockets... you’re not going anywhere. Not only is that true, but you know it. You know that with the mechanics that you utilize in space/time it still is going to take you a hundred thousand years to go anywhere.

What’s our certainty? Time has to be an invention of the idea of the association of the departicle-ization of yourself which will show you the truth. In that sense, I am teaching Jesus of Nazareth. But when I sent the videos to the guys, and they are all praying to God and saying, “God, when I die I am going to be with you.” That’s just pure nonsense! There is nowhere in the entire teaching of any conceptual mind where you are not offered the certainty that space/time is an invention within your own mind.

When we came in here this morning, I was demonstrating it to you. Remember on the last video? I am sitting in a space/time location. I’m actually altering the place/time you’re in. What are you doing? You are letting it alter. If you hold on to it you will suffer the consequences of the concept of yourself and you will believe that you’re a body. Why is that true? You are a body! But you’re not a body any longer in the place in which you find yourself in a relative association that all of space/time is going on right here and right now.

That’s why you’ve been successful at training your mind to a different purpose why you are here. The purpose, obviously, why you are here is to escape out into the universe, isn’t it? You can’t do it mechanically. Not only that, but you know it. So the manner in which you perpetuate it are to say, “When I’m dead, when I die, I am going to lose this body form.” Sure enough you do, but you’re not dead. You can’t die. There is no manner, and I was going to read a little about that, that there is any such thing as totality of termination, because the place of termination is not available within the association of creative reality. It’s a moment in space/time that lasted just for that moment, and you were successful at leaving it.

So all of the stories you are going to tell me: you hear the story, you know the story, yet you can’t accept it within the faculty of the singularity of the mind that you’re using. I’ll try it, shall I teach? There is only going to be one mind. It’s God’s Mind. In other words, life itself is the totality of what life is. I was also going to read you a little of that. There is only one life and that we share with God; there aren’t different kinds of life.

So here you are with the scripture, and suddenly you’ve got St. Paul two thousand years ago, with Jesus actually making inquiries, “Why you can’t see that I came here to tell you your time is up and that you can leave here.”

I love you. I love the idea that within the religion of yourself you are going to begin to forgive the impossibility that the conflict that you’re feeling, first, is not being caused by you and, second, is not real in the mechanics by which you define yourself within your conceptual mind. Now, that moment we call “field of energy.” Was it reality? Yes, it had nothing to do with the concepts at all. It’s escaping from the concept. I’ll be right back.
