I think this is going to be such an experience today that I feel by the end of the talk, you're not gonna think of yourself in the same way, but this is kind of like a rotor rooter we're just gonna expose and vacuum a lot of ego beliefs that are so tightly protected and so, buried in the unconscious mind and so kept hidden that you may notice yourself reacting to some of the scenes and to some of the words and things that are used in this movie. The movie is going to be giving us a glimpse at some events that took place five years ago but, I think they're very relevant for us, for our forgiveness and coming to peace of mind. So one of our themes today is people-pleasing. People-pleasing is actually a defense mechanism that was made up by the ego, to keep you from knowing who you are. And yet the ego made up the whole world and all the people. So that's the identity or the self-concept, this false self-concept that God didn't create would be accepted as a replacement for the true nature of the Christ of a pure spirit of pure love. So, this people-pleasing is an addiction. It is an obsession. It is the defense against the truth. There's absolutely nothing helpful about it, it's part of the death wish. And whenever you're people-pleasing all it's doing is it's reinforcing your identity as a body, it's a body identification, a defense mechanism that is so accepted that when you start to look at the extent of it with mom and dad and brothers and sisters and children with coworkers with bosses, with everything in this world of time and space. Even with pets like the bodies of the pets are a part of the self-concept, everything that's perceived as part of the self-concept. Even the stars. The galaxies are part of the self-concept, the trees, the mountains, the oceans, the rivers. Everything perceived as part of a denial of the truth. It's as Jesus says in the workbook that the world was made as an attack upon God, a place where God can enter not. So we're going to look at the full extent of that Miss identity because the core of that is a body identification. And then on top of the body identification, there's a gender identification, being identified with as a man or a woman, being identified with masculine traits or feminine traits and characteristics, then it just goes on from there, projecting the world, and the environment and everything is tied into the self-concept. So I happen to think this is one of the best movies you will ever see that will help you unwind from people-pleasing, I mean this is like a scale of one to 10 This is an 11. This is so good for getting at, people-pleasing. Enjoy

I AM

The movie that we have today is called “I AM” and is going to really help us as we really explore within our own mind, in our own consciousness this journey toward the light to go deeper and deeper inside. Today's movie is to help give you the inspiration to give your life in a very devoted way over to God. And what I like about this movie is the main character, who will be making the documentary, and includes himself in the documentary, he became very successful in the world's terms, and he was an excellent student. He, excelled in sports, he excelled in all the things that are available to a youngster growing up in the eastern East Coast United States, and then became a very very successful movie maker, and director. I would say that was one of his greatest skills he has is that of a storyteller. We know in all the great traditions the Native American traditions and traditions all over the world, that storytelling is a very important part of passing on wisdom and passing on lessons to everyone in the tribe, whether it seems to be a smaller tribe or a larger tribe or a global tribe. I'm speaking of a man named Tom Shadyac, and he's Christian man, a very bright man who made movies I think his first hit, was with Jim Carrey called Ace Ventura.
So many times you hear children say I love singing, or I loved playing basketball in the backyard or I enjoy these different aspects of my life. And then at some point, the make a living question comes in. In other words, you're supposed to succeed. That's the point is to not barely survive but to succeed, to have material success. And that's very much a part of the programming here on earth. I don't think really if you look at the teachings of Buddha or the teachings of Jesus or Ramana Maharshi, you'd ever hear Ramana going now go out and make a good living and be the best that you can be in the world or Jesus never seem to be encouraging people to succeed in terms of the world. You know I am calling you out of the world. That doesn't sound like an encouragement to succeed in the world. The ego has a great investment in you not experiencing your I Am nature, your spirit, nature, it has a huge investment in fact it made up all of time and space. It made up this world with one purpose in mind to keep you from remembering who you are as a perfect child of God. So the entire system of time and space, and its successes is designed to completely keep you distracted and searching in the wrong direction. So Jesus says “seek not outside yourself for it will fail and you will weep each time an idol falls”

Embracing the Present Moment
Well today we have a very profound topic, embracing the presence. It doesn't matter what spiritual tradition or religion you come from, whether you are a course in miracles practitioner or not. All of the perennial wisdom, and all of the saints and mystics and teachers, emphasize the present moment. The mystery is in entering into it because the mind has conditioned itself through an ego belief system. It has invented its own version of the present moment, which is not the present moment. The ego doesn't know what the present moment is so it has to make and invent because it doesn't understand divine love. It makes up romance and sex to substitute for divine love. It makes up electricity to substitute for the divine nature essence of spirit, it makes up words to take the place of divine communion with your Creator, which is pure stillness, it's pure telepathic communications there are no words involved, between Christ and the Creator God. So today we're going to explore the topic of embracing the present moment. Another way of saying that would be discovering the present moment. You can't embrace something unless you discover it. As a human being you look around your surroundings right now, and you look at your environment. You look at the body, and you look at the television or computer screen. you look at your partner, your furniture. The walls that surround you. The ego would say this is where you are presently. You are presently engaged in a Zoom conference call. It's not really true. This is part of the trick. The ego has convinced the mind that it knows what the present is. It says the present is what the images look like right now. The only thing is the ego doesn't even know what is right now. So, actually, the present moment is not this image-making. Right now, we have to go deeper. Much much deeper to find the actual present moment. In the mind, that's asleep there's a belief system generated by the ego and it's all based on past learning. So, when you look around at your environment right now and you see a computer screen or something, some images in the Zoom Room, that is a projection of past learning that has absolutely nothing to do with the present moment. Even when teachers like Eckhart Tolle ask you to just look around and be aware of everything in your environment. Be aware of your breathing. Be aware of the temperature. Be aware of the sights and sounds and smells. That's just the very very beginning of starting to quiet your mind to sink down beneath all ego thoughts and sink deeply enough to find the present moment. To find the light. Because the present moment is synonymous with light.

Thomas Keating - A Rising Tide of Silence' - Online Movie Workshop
Here is a movie workshop that took place last week we recommend you watch the movie as well as listening to David’s commentary. Here is an amazon link where you can buy or rent the movie if you wish:
https://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Keating-Rising-Tide-Silence/dp/B014R1SU40#ace-g9859629705
So today we're going to watch a movie about a man who was a Catholic priest. He's a good example of putting God first. He's a Catholic priest who passed away a few years ago in October of, 2018, he lived to be 95. His name is Thomas Keating, he came through Catholicism, and he sought God with his heart. And when he sought God he became a friend to the Dalai Lama, he became a friend to many different religions, he still wore his Catholic priest's outfit but he had a smile on his face he had twinkly eyes, he didn't see that God involved competition or that there needed to be competition between religions. He didn't believe in, whose religion is the right one. He didn't believe in it it's almost like asking whose theology is the right one. It's all about peace it's all about happiness. It's not about getting caught up in the who believes the best thing. And that's where you start to see he outgrew traditional religion, he grew into a spiritual connection with God, and harmony and happiness. He could talk to people that seem to have different beliefs than him and it didn't matter. He would have a friendly conversation with them. He would have humor. He would have joy. And this is just an example of what happens if you put devotion to God above all else. What that means is you're putting happiness above all else, you're putting joy, peace of mind, harmony, above all else. Your relationship with your brothers and sisters is your relationship with God. So, the more harmonious you are with everyone that you perceive or even everyone you think of that is your reflection of your relationship with God, to know God is to know supreme happiness to know God is to know a sense of love and inclusiveness of harmony.

The Great Awakening
Our weekend retreat is called the Great Awakening and I will give a context otherwise it can seem disorienting, it can seem bewildering. It can even seem fearful at times, without an overall context. I know that it doesn't matter what stage, you are in in the rising up to accept yourself as Christ at one with God, it can be overwhelming at the beginning, it can be overwhelming in the middle and even as you start to merge with the light. Again, this is extremely overwhelming to the ego, because this is the end of the ego merging with the light accepting yourself and your I Am Presence before time was. I wanted to talk a little bit about the word called function like sometimes people say what is my function. And the context is important in terms of function Because if you've been following the teachings we've been sharing for many years we are saying that function, ultimately is not really dependent on the form and really it's not even associated with the form. And that can seem very strange or weird. Well, let's put it into context in heaven, which is reality, which is spirit, which is eternal love, which is oneness. Our God-given function is the creation of God. I said Jesus says you are guiltless in eternity, but not in time. So, you can take from that in heaven we're purely innocent as spirit, and that's not the case in time and space where you seem to be lost in space you get guilt, you get fear, shame and all kinds of emotions that don't have any reality, they don't have, and that was never created by God. They don't even exist, but they seem very real in time and space. Our God-given function, our function that is given us in our creation is creating. That's our function, creating. And that is, in spirits, spirit creates spirit creates spirit.

Forgiveness is the Key to Happiness
Forgiveness is the key to happiness. To think about a key is for the purpose of unlocking something right? That's why we use the key or use the key to unlock something. That must be unlocking happiness. And all of us want to be happy, is for sure all of us want to be happy. It's just that the ego is kind of a tricky inner teacher that's trying to teach us that our happiness comes from pursuing external goals or pursuing something in the world and somehow we achieve or accomplish the goal or task or pursuit in the world that will make us happy. But Jesus is saying no, its actually forgiveness is the key to happiness. The state of mind, that is forgiveness is the key to happiness. If you are forgiving It teaches forgiveness. When you are happy there's, no need to forgive and be unhappy, you will discover. This will give you the experience of sublime, happiness, a very tranquil happiness, serene happiness. And it's consistent happiness. It's actually constant because there is no opposite to this forgiving world this is the purpose this is the point of entry. So we could say that forgiveness and the Forgiving world is the answer to any conceivable problem. Any upset, discouragement, any trial that you have, any difficulty, anything. It's just good to know that there's really just one answer to all the millions and billions and trillions and zillions of seeming problems that there's only one answer and that is forgiveness.

The Illusion of Time Part 2
The Miracle takes away the past. It takes away what never was. The Miracle takes away the interference. That’s the prayer of your heart what could healing be except taking away the interference of what always is so, so that's why the miracle collapses time. That's why the miracle brings the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end together. Sometimes I've described linear time is like a long stalk of celery, and you get your low gear cutter knife out. And every time you have a miracle, you're chopping that stalk of celery. Every miracle I'm not just talking about for you but for the whole sonship whenever you have a miracle, you chop off a bit of that stock of celery, and then it seems to get shorter and shorter. Do you keep bringing the pieces together after you chop sections of the salary out, it will just come down closer and closer to, the present moment. All you're doing when you have miracles is you're saving yourself 1000s of years and saving everyone, you're saving the whole sonship, you're saving everyone 1000s of years every miracle that your mind experiences.

The Illusion of Time
The illusion of time what a juicy topic. This is something that you can go all the way with the Holy Spirit and Jesus on this topic, then you find that you're free, and always have been free. If you find that you're joyful you're lit up, You're lit up with the light of heaven. So, this topic is just as profound as it gets. Like the Jack Nicholson movie as good as it gets this, is as good as it gets in terms of topics. You aren't going to find a more helpful topic to dive into this time.
God is eternal God created you as a perfect child of God in eternity in the mind of God, and you will only be happy, fully happy when you know your true environment, heaven Nirvana call it whatever you want. Eternity, you will only find true unbroken happiness and fulfillment in eternity and time and eternity cannot coexist so every frustration, whether it's around health, diet, interpersonal relationships, the environment, whether it's issues with work or your boss, with your neighbors, if it's issues with a mosquito, you have issues with anything. It's a time issue, because time and eternity cannot coexist. One of the things Jesus says in the course is he says, you are guiltless in eternity, but not in time. Okay. So he's just equated time with guilt. And all of us want to be guiltless, all of us want to be innocent. All of us want to be happy and joyful and he says you are guiltless in eternity, but not in time. That's important. So okay how do we escape time then?

You are an Eternal Being
In A Course in Miracles Jesus tells us the Word of God means, I am as God created me. That's humbling accepting yourself as a spirit, not as flesh. That's humbling accepting yourself as an eternal being, not as some make-believe invention of a shadow figure that's here for a few years and then gone. Jesus is saying, Oh I choose the second place. And the reason he puts that in his workbook because he's getting it from his own direct experience of God, he realized he could be happy if he was a creation of God and not some make-believe figment of the imagination of the ego. And so that's how he came into the I Am Presence. Before Abraham was I am, I am what I am as God created me. That is the truth of it all. And that is so humble. That's why Even when people would come to Jesus and start praising him and giving him compliments. Like you heal people and he would respond why do you call me good? He was pointing to number one. He was always giving God all the glory.

Who is Jesus?
It's not difficult for me to talk about Jesus or share a huge amount of experiences with Jesus because my walk with Jesus, probably began when I was much younger because I came through a Christian church and was confirmed. And then after about 10 years of university, A Course in Miracles came into my awareness about 34 years ago, so I have no problem talking about Jesus, I've been talking about Jesus, all around the world in 44 countries for these last 34 years and to me, it's a joy to share about Jesus. It's a joy sharing about the connection, the guidance, and the many many many miracles.We all have a deep longing in our heart to go home to eternity. We have a longing to know the eternal love, and the eternal spirit, and this, you might say is the roller coaster ride of emotions that we seem to go through with our experiences on earth, and within time and space. I would say they could all be summarized as being part of homesickness like we were just homesick, we just want to remember God. And we want to remember our true Self. We want to experience home, which Jesus called heaven, he calls it heaven in the Bible, and he calls it heaven in A Course in Miracles, or specifically, he called it the kingdom of heaven. He said, The kingdom of heaven is within, and the kingdom of heaven is at hand. And we all know that a hand to a human being is very close. We don't think of our hands like distant stars or distant planets. So when he said, The kingdom of heaven is at hand he's saying it's really close, it's actually so close that it's closer than the breath, but Jesus is saying no, actually the kingdom of heaven is closer than your breath. This is the good news.
