Hello dardic@...,
In reference to your comment:
è this is in accordance with the following passage:
è T-5.III.3:? "There are two diametrically opposed ways of
è seeing your brother.? They must both be in your mind,
è because you are the perceiver.? They must also be in
è his, because you are perceiving him.? See him through
è the Holy Spirit in his mind, and you will recognize Him
è in yours.? What you recognize in your brother you are
è acknowledging in yourself, and what you share you
è strengthen."? peace? Billy
Amen, Amen and Amen? :-)
But at the same I am still detached ...? I have moments when this is very clear, but as Gary shared in his book
"Now wait a minute, if the contents of my mind, including my own hatred and guilt, are symbolically all around me, then how can I really look within when I'am all wired up in a body and a brain that can only perceive outward?"
I feel like I am in a maze and it has a bunch of false doors .. and I reaching for the door thinking that this is it.. ... then I have moments of clarity and realize that none of the doors will work .. all illusions .. it is not out there, but in my mind.
But it lasts only a moment, and that happens when on the level of the "Mind" I "choose to remember to ask for help"
But I can honestly say the difference now, is that? over time, and I have been involved with the Course since 1988 that I just don't beat myself up like I used to.? The? guilt/fear statements "oh I forgot again", you idiot, you so hard-headed, stubborn (just to name a few), when are you going to get it!"? etc., etc., etc.? LOL
I still say those things, but now I smile and sometimes I break out in laughter, when I see myself once again falling for the ego trap.
This is certainly a process.
What I truly appreciate about Gary sharing his experience is that I can read this, Gary is an ordinary joe blow and I can identify with him on so many levels (I just love the part where was Gary was saying he was about to watch a certain video and Arten and Pursah appeared ... I screamed? I LOVED IT,? yes , this? was speaking on my level of comprehension? for the Course is still very difficult for me to read ... unless I am in a study group; and as much as I love my Ken Wapnick, he is just over my head some times? :-).? But at the same time I know that there is apart of my mind that understands everything that Jesus is saying..
Talk about a split mind LOL
Peace
