Acceptance: Form vs Experience | Wisdom Dialogues @ Kehena, HI | June 8, 2026

Trying to “accept everything” can sound holy, but it can also become a quiet form of self-attack. From Kehenna Beach Estates on Hawai‘i Island, I walk through a blunt, practical A Course in Miracles perspective: we are not asked to approve of war, sickness, aging, or death. The real invitation is self-acceptance, the kind that lets you admit “I hate this” without shame and without pretending. That honesty is where the mind relaxes enough for a miracle, meaning a genuine shift in perception that restores peace.

We dig into why ACIM forgiveness is not the same as apologising for being human, and how the guilty self-concept keeps the world feeling solid and inevitable. I apply this to the places people feel stuck most: habits and willpower, medical storylines, fear of the sun, body changes, and the constant pressure to improve yourself to become “spiritual enough.” The emphasis stays grounded: don’t tempt the ego, do listen for guidance, and keep returning to the peace of God as your real priority.

Listener questions open the conversation into ascension and what a transformed world could look like, plus topics like exorcism, speaking in tongues, and helping someone who is triggered or threatening. I also share personal stories that show how fear can flip into calm when you stop granting reality to threat and let inner guidance lead. If you want a direct, uncompromising take on spiritual awakening, mind training, and miracles that actually change how you feel day to day, this one will give you plenty to sit with.

Welcome And A Growing Certainty

SPEAKER_00 0:01

Okay. And then I'm recording to the cloud. Yes. Aloha. And welcome to wisdom dialogues with Hope Johnson. Coming to you from Kehenna Beach Estates on the beautiful big island of Hawaii. Yes. Yes. Thank you so much for joining. I love you. Ah. Oh, so good to be with you all. I love you so much. You know, I've been seeing things very uh very clearly. It's the same things that I've been seeing, but it's coming to the point where it's shown to me like this cannot even be denied. This is something that cannot even be denied. And the sense of certainty and confidence about it is very strong, even though it doesn't seem like there's very many people on board with me by with the way that I am seeing things. And that includes a course in miracles, people, which is really fun. Uh, as a lot of you know, I've been deep diving into a course in miracles, both the text, I've been going through the text. I'm on chapter three of the text now. I've been taking just a few sentences each two-hour session and going deep into those. And I'm really asking, like, what is this really telling us? Because when we read something, we're reading through a particular lens. It's a way that we've been trained to see. And the way that we've been trained to see is really in separation. And a Course in Miracles is helping us to see beyond separation, right? But it's not all often taken that way. You know, it's like there's the words, okay, it's beyond separation. Some people say it's non-duality. In fact, on one of the Course in Miracles groups, I don't even understand it. People are are are uh arguing about whether it's a duality or non-duality. I'm like, who cares? You know, it's basically what it's showing us that's that's come so clear is the world we perceive is not even here. So we don't have to try to come to terms with it, even right? We don't have to try to understand it, figure it out. Another one is figure out how to accept everything, right? How to accept everything in

Reading A Course In Miracles Differently

SPEAKER_00 2:45

the world. Like one really common concept that people have is that you're not gonna be awakened until you accept everything. One guy told me this. He's like, if you really want to wake up, this is on Facebook because I was saying, hey, you know, you it's not about accepting the things in the world, it's about accepting yourself with whatever experience you're having perceiving the things in the world. Really, it's self-acceptance. It's not about accepting all the shit you don't like, like war. What are you gonna do? Oh, war is so beautiful. It's so uh so love. I just love all that blood and guts all over the ground. It's fucking amazing. You know what I mean? It's like, it's like, you know, you're not being asked. It's not asking you to say, wow, aging just looks so good. Gosh, that's beautiful. You know what I mean? I I love that when fucking teeth fall out and yeah. Yeah, it's uh it's accepting, yeah, right. And you know, one friend, one friend said uh said, you know, it could be called surrender too, just like surrendering to what the truth is, though. What people don't realize is we're not meant to like or even enjoy death, which we're seeing all over the place in the perceptual, uh, in the perceptual sense. You know, we're while we're perceiving a world, what Jesus is telling us through a course in miracles, we are perceiving error. That's error. Okay. As long as there seem to be separate bodies, as long as they seem to be able to break down, everything seems to deteriorate in the world. We are per what we're perceiving is an error. And our assignment is to learn how to see past error, not to learn how to accept error as part of life. Error is not part of life. This is not life, okay? So one thing that one thing that really that really showed me how how people misunderstand what a Course in Miracles is saying is what a man said said to me, if you really want to wake up, you better find a way to accept everything. And everything's all caps, right? Everything in the world. And the first thing was, well, I don't want to wake up, I just accept that I'm awake. That's all, you know, it's like that's really, really what it is. And even Jesus says in A Course in Miracles, you're awake, your mind is awake, it's never actually gone to sleep, right? So it's a it's this belief that we got somewhere to get, we got somewhere to get to. And in order to get to that, we gotta accept all the shit that we don't seem to like, right? So what I'm saying is when you accept yourself not liking the things that seem to be not likable, there's a lot of stuff here that's not likable, right? If you accept yourself not liking, then you're open for the miracle, right? So it's it's this resistance and and really self-condemnation. Like it's it's like something's wrong with the self, like the self's gotta get better. And you know, it's said so many times you are exactly as God created you. You think you changed yourself, you think you changed yourself into something that needs to be improved, but that's not the truth. You are exactly as God created you. So God didn't create you as being any kind of errors, and of course, you're gonna recall recoil at a bunch of stupid shit coming at you in this world. This is not your creation, that's why. This is not your inheritance to be perceiving death everywhere and struggle and oh, we've had murder over here recently. You know what are you gonna try to try try to embrace that? You know what I mean? It's like it's like it's like, no, it's like you you recognize that, oh, here's the experience that I seem to be having. You know, I was sharing with Tony the other day. I was like, gosh, this aging thing. I'm like, oh my goodness, it's like so, ah, and and you know, he he was he was telling me, well, you know, it's okay and stuff like that. And I'm like, uh, and and I'm like, you know what? And you're beautiful, that's the other thing. Thank you. And and I go, I go, you know what? It's actually it's good that I'm aware that there's a there's there's a sense of ew, like I'm like, ugh, ew, like I'll look at something on myself, I'll go, oh, you know, and and not be and not be shaming myself about it. That's the thing. And that's where the true, the true miracles can actually be worked, you know, in miraculous seeing the things we see, eventually they're gonna change. It's gonna reveal that we are as God created us, and it's gonna reveal that everything is as God created us and this, because what we're perceiving, again, that's not in alignment with truth, is error. It's based on the thought of separation and it's extrapolated out of the thought of separation. So the miracle is what establishes that this is a dream and none of it is true. So it's like we're projecting a dream, but our mind itself remains all powerful. That's why our mind is not asleep, it's awake, it's awake making dreams, you could say. It's like a it's like a waking dream, but we're believing that what we made is actually here and it's real, and that's what keeps it like we should be it, we should be accepting it, this idea that we should be accepting it. And that's why, you know, people are always telling me, I just want to wake up. Hope will you will you help me? Will you, you know, I want to be awakened. And it's like, you are awakened. You just have to accept that you are awakened, and whatever it is that you uh you dislike about yourself or the world or anything like that is just showing you that it's not real. Whatever you dislike is error. Actually, whatever you like here is error too,

Self-Acceptance Not Accepting The World

SPEAKER_00 9:05

but the creations of love are real. Okay, so it's like the creations of love, we don't just like them, we know them as our true self. So anything that seems to be unloving, unlovable, make you look like you're unlovable, you're perfectly unaffected by any of those things. But you tell yourself that you are affected, and then you seem to be affected because your mind is that powerful. So what people are doing, instead of practicing forgiveness, they're mostly practicing apology, right? That's a totally that's a totally different thing. It's like apologizing for the self-affirm. The self of form is actually, no matter what it seems to be, an idiot, stupid, ugly, anything like that, it is actually the perfect means for the Holy Spirit to use to show you that your mind is already perfect and holy. So that's why everything, that's why everything can be accepted as the means for that. But as far as you, you know, you yourself feeling like you like it or dislike it, that just needs to be accepted as it is. And the more you accept yourself disliking things, the less you actually dislike them. It is really funny like that. Because it's like this repression thing that we do. It's like we're trying to make an image of something that's spiritual instead of recognizing that we are already that. And in trying to make the image that looks spiritual, we're lying to ourselves about the way we feel. And that's such an important thing is to know how we feel because the feeling sense is showing us whether we're acknowledging the truth or making illusions true. That's what's going on. So when we're noticing, okay, you're not upset for the reason you think. That's one thing that a course in miracles teaches, right? So let's say, let's take the idea, you know, this thing about aging. Like I see something sagging, and I'll be like, ugh, why is that happening?

unknown 11:26

Right.

SPEAKER_00 11:27

And the world will tell you it's it's natural, it's normal. This is just what we do. We go through it. Yeah, this you're just gonna, you know, you're gonna try to wake up through the process, but you're you're you're gonna you're gonna get old and then you're gonna die and and you're gonna get the all these all these symptoms when you go along, right? You're gonna get pain and all this other stuff. Well, that's not that doesn't necessarily have to be the case either. And no matter how far we've gone along the path as as you know, aging and all that stuff, that can also change in an instant. So it's this childlike awareness, too, that this is not really here. And it really can change in an instant. It's when the mind is purified of the guilty self-concept. So it's a matter of stopping to stopping projecting that guilty self-concept forward, right? So, and what we do when we shame ourselves for having a reaction in the world is project the guilty self-concept forward. Whatever we seem to see about bodies or anything, that can be changed in an instant. It's not as if the miracle doesn't work on the illusion, it totally does. The illusion isn't here, so it's like that's what faith is too. It's it's willing to see it differently, willing to continually see it differently, right? Not just uh, not just go, oh, well, that's just the way it is. These things just happen. People just murder, for instance. Oh, there will always be wars. I've heard that too. How could humanity like get along without war? There will always be that, and that's based on what past, all of it. I see only past. I see only past. My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts. So, so that's what that's what we're we're learning. We're learning, and and after learning, there's learning, okay, this is how we see through it. We deny reality to illusions, we deny all reality to illusions. We don't make them real and then try make effort to accept it. We actually deny reality to the illusions, and in accepting yourself as being, you know, feeling upset or whatever like that, or not liking it, in accepting yourself, you make your mind available to actually do this, to actually see that it's an illusion. And I've and and I've learned that all illusions are subject to the miracle. Woo! Welcome. Pull up a chair. I have these to these around here too. There's also those that are facing the other way, but my voice is loud. You can go anywhere you want. Okay, good. I had a feeling there might be more people soon. What fun. Yeah. All right, I'm gonna check on you guys and see if you guys have any comments. I'm kind of like all over the place here. I got three different things going. Oh, yeah, you're watching me live. Thank you for doing that. Woo-hoo! Yes. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, so I've been looking at things and like I said at the beginning of this, Matt, the sense of certainty has just come to me. It's like it's a sense of certainty has just been dawning on my mind. You know, I don't have a lot of like community on this. I mean, I'm on a course in miracles groups and I post something like this, and and it's like, whoa, it's like, wow, people want to fight about that. You know, it's like you better, you better find out how to accept everything. And I'm like, oh, that's the way you talk to yourself. Okay. You know, it's and and that's a common thing because that's how we've learned, you know, like you better fucking figure this out. Otherwise, you're never waking up. Well, how about this? I don't want to wake up because I just accept that I'm awake, right? And then I could just totally bypass that whole thing about wanting to wake up. Oh gosh, I really want to wake up. What do I gotta do? What do I gotta do? It's like once I once I discovered, oh, I'm not even asleep. No one is. You guys aren't either, you know, no one is really asleep. So you really coming to accept I'm awake and whatever it is that I seem to perceive, perceive myself doing, perceive myself saying, perceive myself feeling. My task in that, or you could say assignment or commandment, you know, a commandment is similar to assignment, is to be in acceptance

Miracles Deny Reality To Error

SPEAKER_00 16:10

of myself, really, having an experience. This is the experience I'm having. I don't like beans, for instance, you know, most of the time.

unknown 16:24

Right?

SPEAKER_00 16:24

It's it's like it's like, wow, yeah. And you know, you know, spiritual people might say, well, you're not very spiritual if you don't like beans. That's a pretty spiritual food, actually. You know, and I'm like, hey, I accept myself the way I seem to be, right? And the same thing has to do with habits. Let's say you have habits, right? You have you have habits that seem to be. I I read I read recently from someone who said people who smoke cigarettes or smoke spliffs or smoke at all are really looking for God in the smoke, right? And so, okay, that's fine. Is that something to be guilty about? Do you need to do you need to try to make yourself quit? This is a thing that people do. They don't want to have willpower, right? And and what Jesus is saying is the only thing that you need to be willing to do is see the truth. You don't need to be willing, you don't need to use willpower in the world because willpower in the world actually denies that you're already perfect and holy. And nothing that you do here can harm you in any kind of way. That's false. That's false knowledge. Even the idea, like, okay, if you smoke for 70 years, you're definitely gonna die of cancer, right? That's something we made up. And you know, it shames people. Look, you go to the doctor, they'll tell you, oh, oh, oh, what are your habits? Oh, you eat ice cream every month or every night? No wonder you have diabetes, you know. And you know, if your mind is so powerful that if you would be willing to deny any meaning to that, you can actually deny the effects that are coming. But it's a matter of really, you know, tuning your mind into, hey, this is there's no way I could have caused myself any trouble by doing anything in this world because what have I been told? The world is an error and it's not even here. So, how can something that I did, I I recall that I did? I haven't really done anything in a world that's not real. Uh, so I recall that I did something, and then I'm projecting that that has an effect right now. It's having it's affecting me right now. You know, people go through it thinking that they got affected by someone way in the past beating them up on the playground and now they got a problem with social interactions. Not true. All of your problems come from the thought of separation. They don't they don't come from anything you do, they don't come from anything that happened before. You know, if you even if you seem to have an accident before and now you have both of your legs off, apparently. That's projected now. That's why those legs can actually come back. And and the thing is, when our mind shifts to that kind of innocence, to that kind of sight, we will actually see limbs regrow because they're not real, right? So all and and and bodies that seem to have aged just go back to being young and vibrant and buoyant and healthy, right? Because it's our belief that's actually making it appear like this. We cannot trust what we see. That's what we've been doing all along. Why do we want to keep on doing it the same way? It sucks, okay? So why would we want to just keep on doing it that same way, just trusting in what we believe? It's like, look, Hope, how could you say people don't age? Look around, everyone's doing it. And I go, yeah, because everyone's involved in the same delusion. That's why. Right. And it's not like, and you know, it's like, okay, well, well, let's see, you know, you prove it, you go ahead and revert to you being 20 years old then. And you know, and and I'm like, that's not the point. That's not the point. It's not, it's not just for me to prove something, it's actually for me to see things differently so I could see that not just myself, everything in the perception. There's no separation from the self I made in the perception, the rest of the perception. It's all part of the perception. What's up, Tomas? Well, I have a question. Yes, you do.

SPEAKER_02 20:27

You describe like what it's like when we're all part of this delusion. How about can you describe that if we're all part of the what you described? Like if we all share this, but nobody knows like rather than being part of the delusion. What would it look like if we're all part of the ascension?

SPEAKER_00 20:42

Well, we're all we're all of us being part of the the ascension, what we see is totally transformed. Just like what I'm saying, people are all around us, everyone, not just like ourselves and everyone else's aging. You know what I mean? It's like the whole world. Like once the once the thought, uh, once the the the thought process and our mind, we have share one mind, once that's purified, right? Of the guilty self-concept.

SPEAKER_02 21:09

And we'll see whims grow back.

SPEAKER_00 21:11

Yes, of course. Then be able to be places without a plane ticket. That's the other thing. Governments won't matter and all that kind of stuff, you know, because really we communicate with our mind, we really do everything with our mind, even the idea that we got on a plane to get somewhere. That's something that we're projecting. There isn't anywhere, it doesn't even make any sense. The world is not even here, right? Uh yeah, there isn't there isn't anywhere to go. There's there's only right here. So coming into acceptance of the self is really coming into this purification of the mind. You know, the the demonstration that we have an example of, I know you know it's it's coming. Of, like in history, but you know, history is also part of the mind, we're recalling it now. Is the resurrection, Jesus resurrecting, right? He he proved

Habits Without Guilt Or Willpower

SPEAKER_00 22:10

in with the resurrection that death has no meaning. You know, if death had meaning, you know, it being final as far as the world is concerned, like they're not coming back. And then all of a sudden, he's manifesting as a light body. That's the truth of us, that's our creation. We are light bodies, we're like pure white light, and we have we have kind of encircled that white light with all of these concepts. And the body, the that we the bodies that we perceive is basically a lot of concepts moving really fast, encircling a white light, and it looks solid to us, and it looks like it's deteriorating, just along with everything else in the world as well. So it's like I was telling Tony the other day, this is my kuleana to share this, not only to not only to see it for myself, but also to share this because I don't see anyone else sharing it in this way. And in fact, I I seem to get a lot of people who want to argue about it instead of being really curious about it and going, oh, what if, what if, you know, so so you know that's what I'm inviting people to do, just kind of like look at and go, oh, what if we really can purify our mind like that of the guilty self-concept and not have to try to accept things that we do not like. You guys know that one saying it says it says something about let me accept the things I I can't change or something like that. Bullshit. You can change them, all of them. It's just that it's not in the it's not in the way the world shows, you know. People try to save the world by changing the way people do things, changing concepts, stuff like that. But really, it's a matter of changing your mind. Also, also, one of the teachings is how many sons of God does it take to totally transform the whole world? One, just one, just one of us, right? So I don't even really need to be here telling you guys anything. The only, the only reason why I'm I'm sharing anything at all is because it's occurring. I don't have anything to do with it, right? I'm just willing to be to be an instrument, to be an instrument for the Holy Spirit. But I don't actually believe that I could like go around and change people's minds, right? It's like you guys even perceiving me right now, saying this to you, you're projecting me. You you you're you're seeing what you want to see, you're hearing what you want to want to hear, even if you think you don't want to hear it, right? Even if you're thinking, God, that broad's crazy. Why don't you just shut the fuck up? You actually projected me to be this, and I projected everyone else to be what they are in my experience. It's playful, it's really sweet. It's not a matter of, you know, trying to correct yourself. Like, why am I manifesting this? I've had people ask me when the murderer was running around. It's like, why did I manifest a murderer to murder my friends? And I go, it's a meaningless world. There is no why like that. It's a freaking meaningless world. And all it's showing you is that it's meaningless. All it's showing you is that you really want to see things differently, right? So you could say that that is in the in the world illusion, uh, an effect of quote, waking up, seeing things differently. But really, your mind is already awake and that's why it can see things differently. When you direct your will toward seeing things differently, instead of directing your will toward changing or improving yourself, that's where you really make the progress. And you come to know yourself and love yourself in a way that any kind of anxious thought arises or anything, it's just not having any power. You know, it comes up, the ego comes up and questions you. And it's just like, you can't question me. I am exactly as God created me, and I haven't not been changed. Even though I made I made ideas that I've changed myself from that, I don't have to accept any self-condemnation. And self-condemnation all comes from the ego. There's nothing else that's that's condemning you but the ego. Okay, you guys, I don't know about Facebook because it's weird with the comments. So if you guys have comments on there, join join Zoom. So I I see that I on my comment, it says it gives you the Zoom link. So if you want to talk to me and you're on Facebook, come on Zoom. And on Zoom, you can even raise your hand if you want to talk to me. All right, thank you. I got I got three different three different streams going here. Yeah. So pretty funny thing, too. Just like manifestation-wise, it's pretty funny. You know, we associate getting older with menopause, and you stop having your period and all kinds of stuff like that. Well, I was thinking that I was in menopause, and I was like, wait a second, how could that be the case? Right? I was reading about like the grandmother of Jesus. Apparently, she lived to be like 900 and she kept on having babies until the hundreds of years old and stuff, right? Like that. So, next thing you know, after almost two years of not having a period, I got a period again. I'm like, what in the world? And and you know, it's it's it's also said, we can also regenerate as we purify our minds, we can also regenerate. But the belief is, and everyone tells you, including doctors and stuff like this, it's all downhill from here, right? Isn't that the belief? You might get a little bit better, but you know, it's all downhill from here, right? And and if we're if we're willing, like we open our consciousness and we're willing to see this as totally transformative, like we can we can transform anything with our mind. It's just that we've been programmed that we can't, then we're seeing, we're actually starting to see things differently, and the things in our perception can start to change, right? So I I have one friend who's been diagnosed, so funny, as having as having a partially dead heart. The doctor actually told him, you know, your heart is partially dead. So we need to well, you know, we need to basically yeah, yeah, yeah, get a second opinion for one. Yeah, but you know, you just go to doctors and that and it's amazing that uh that a doctor would say that too. That you have like, I mean, even even speaking, speaking, you know, relatively speaking, there's nothing dead in the body, and it might be dormant, but there's nothing dead. And so there's this belief that part of it's dead. Dead means dead is like a final word, it's never coming back. The only thing we can do is cut that out and replace it with a dead person's heart. Hopefully, someone way younger than you. So you can go with this heart for a long time, right? So my friends, like, uh my friends, like, man, it's kind of weird thinking about that. Like, you know, I'm hoping that someone's gonna kick the bucket that is much younger than me, so I could have their fresh young heart and I can keep on going, you know? And and and he's he's he's kind of efforting to accept this reality. And and you know, it came to it came to light that no, you're not meant to accept this. This isn't for you to accept. This isn't true, it's not acceptable. It's meant to be unacceptable because it's not true. You don't have a heart that can die, you don't have a you don't have a heart that can be damaged or anything like that. And the idea is, you know, it's

Ascension And The World Transformed

SPEAKER_00 30:40

because of drinking, it's because of smoking, it's because of eating the wrong food. See the guilty concept again. See, see that, and and it's just like it's so funny. Someone who's healthy will perceive someone like that and go, oh, well, good thing I don't do any of those kinds of things. My heart'll be okay. I'll be able to get old and die in a much better way. How much I'll be able to get whole old and die in a healthier way. So there's all this guilty projection going on. It's like you did this to yourself, right? Right, white dove. The sun apparently gives you sun cancer, right? Skin cancer, right? How's that? How's that a possibility? And this is not saying you should tempt the ego, it's not saying that. It's not saying that, you know, you you recognize, okay, my skin seems to be sensitive to the sun. I'm just gonna go out and bake myself all day because I know this isn't really true. That's that's another mental thing, tempting the ego, right? Because, you know, you're identified with this voice already. So the ego's like, oh yeah, ha ha, go ahead and do that and then see what happens, put the baby oil on or something like that, and go out there and bake it up and then see what happens. And that's just gonna make you afraid, right? So it's like it's like you're still being willing to take care in whatever way you're you're guided to in the moment, but you're actually you're working from the mental sense where you're not giving any reality to illusions, like every anything that you seem to do really affects anything else. But what I'm saying is, like, it's not gonna help you to be really stupid about it and go, okay, this since it's like that, I'm just gonna do all of these things. But also, let's say it feels really good to you to be in the sun in the moment and you have and you happen to be in the sun. Let's say you happen to get caught in the sun. That happens for people sometimes too. Let's say you're out there and you forgot your hat and you're walking and you have no sun protection. Wow, that's the best time to practice, right? Because there's all these fear thoughts coming out in. I'm gonna get sun cancer, or I'm gonna get wrinkly, or you're condemning yourself in that moment. That's the best time to practice seeing differently. You know, you're not trying to do something like that. And remember, it's all mental, it's not the actual action, it's the mental thing. So you're it's like you're not trying to tempt the ego, but you find yourself in a situation where you think that this is quite damaging. So it's those thoughts that are arising that you're bringing to the truth. And if you happen to be practicing something like a Course in Miracles, which gives you one lesson every day, does not matter what it is, you can bring all of your thoughts to that thought. There's one up there right here. The the the I give the miracles I have received, right? And so there's a whole lesson about that. I give the miracles that I have received. And then that has some meaning to you. And you bring whatever thoughts are arising in the moment to that particular lesson and really feel it in your body's energy field because it is a feeling thing, it's a feeling journey, right? So when you get the sense, oh shoot, I screwed up, I forgot my hat, right? You get that sense. That's the moment. Check in how you feel, notice how you feel. That's a guilty feeling that's popping up. So, what you want right now is the peace of God. All you want is the peace of God. You don't want to get better at remembering your hat. That's the wrong way to go in your thoughts. See what I'm saying? I'm giving a really practical example here. You don't want to go toward shaming yourself. Oh shit, I forgot my hat. The thought is fine, it's not to be argued with, it's just bringing it to the truth so you can receive the peace of God right now and know that you're still as God created you, perfectly safe. It's this idea that we're not perfectly safe, and there's anything in the world that can threaten us that makes the sun appear to be a threat, for instance. Because if there's one thing in the world that can threaten us in our mind, we can't control that. It goes to everything. All of a sudden, there's all these threats, and we're not able to control that anymore. So someone, someone was telling me yesterday in the store, he he was telling me, you know what gets, you know, what gets me out of bed and gets me jazzed up every morning is impressing myself. I want to impress myself every day. And you know, uh, and and he's like, that's what it is, right? And I'm like, well, I don't know about that. Impressing myself. Hmm. You know, I'm going, and and what I'm seeing is, you know, what really gets me jazzed up and stoked about being in the in the day, let's say, is being able to bring these thoughts to the truth. You know, I'm not trying to impress myself. I like what is there to impress really? But it's the joy of bringing these thoughts to the truth and receiving the love of God over and over again, right? It's almost like hide and seek. There's this thought arising that seems to disturb my peace. And then I'm able to kind of like retreat in the peace of God once again. And it's like, oh, victory. That's victory. And it's the kind of victory where everyone wins because we're one mind. You know, I'm accepting victory for everyone that I could have the peace of God right now, no matter what apparent circumstance I'm receiving. Well, you know, I'm I'm perceiving recently two of my best friends were murdered, apparently, right? And it's like, oh, well, what about this? Can you still receive the peace of God? It's like, yes, apparently. Wow. Yes, I can. And also I can see that my communication with them is not only unbroken, not only they're totally communicating with me, and I'm communicating with them, it's not only unbroken, but I can hear them. And it's like when they were in when they were in form, they weren't as easy to hear because they were they were in confusion about the form, right? But it's like once the once the body sense is seems to not be here, it's laid down, then that whole veil is gone and the communication is actually everyone's clear, their minds are clear. So now it's like, man, it seemed like when when when they were

Regeneration Stories Menopause And Medicine

SPEAKER_00 37:20

in form, I was more like guiding them. Now it's the opposite, right? Now it's like, hey, you're doing awesome, hope. Keep on going in that direction, right? Good job. Yeah, you're on the you're on the path, right? So so it's like the more we're willing, and so that that's what I mean too. The more you accept the self not liking what seems to be, the less you even find yourself not liking stuff. These things just pass, you know. It's like when I can accept myself, you know, like I saw a belly wrinkle when I was sitting in the chacus. I thought I caught an image of myself and I was like, oh, right? I don't remember that being there.

unknown 38:06

Right.

SPEAKER_00 38:06

And just and being able to accept myself like that, it's like I'm not getting all anxious and crazy about it, you know. Uh like I could speak for myself just when I was younger because I've always been a workout chick and I've always had like this loose connective tissue or something. The cellulite just never went away, no matter what I did. I had the best willpower of anyone. So I already know it doesn't help you to have willpower in the world. So I know the best willpower. I could eat the best diet, I could work out, I could follow any protocol. Okay. And then I'm still looking in the mirror, and there's that cheese on the thighs. I'll tell you what, because I couldn't, I didn't, I didn't know what I what I know now. It's you know, maybe like 20, 30 years ago, uh I didn't know what I know now. I would spin out about that. I'd find myself like completely like distraught, crying. Why, why, why? You know, and people would go, What is your fucking problem? Like you pretty much look fine, unless it's a person that I'm dating, then they're nitpicking the shit out of it because that's just the way I projected it. They're like, Yeah, you really could like, yeah, actually, I'm not too attracted to you anymore now that I see that shit on your thighs. You know, it's like that's that's that's the way we project it. So once you once you just accept yourself, when I can accept the the the reaction, when I can accept the yuck sensation, it's like so much easier to see it doesn't matter. That's why we find fewer and fewer things to dislike once we start accepting ourselves disliking things. It's not like it multiplies the dislike. Now, if you if you if you dislike things and you believe that the world is real, then they it they are multiplying, right? One person told me it's like, why do we need a course in miracles to accept ourselves disliking things? Doesn't everyone do that? Like conventional people, even they just talk about what they dislike all the time and they totally accept themselves disliking. It's like, yeah, with a nuance though, because they actually believe that the things they dislike are real, are really there. It's a different way of looking at it when you're going, Of course, I dislike it. It's not creation. This is not creation, this is not my inheritance that I'm perceiving. This is an error, right? When you're when you're seeing it like that, of course it's not, and it's never gonna satisfy me. This world is never gonna satisfy me. Then you can really start to go, okay, it's just a passing thing. This dislike is a passing thing, and you come back to the peace of God right away. So that's how miracles are, you know. It's not like it's it's not like Jesus healed the sick and raised the dead by accepting that sickness and death are part of life. It's opposite of that. He'd not accept that those are part of life. That's why he had no tolerance for seeing those kinds of things. He'd he'd he'd he'd uh he'd walk through and see someone that seems to be dying or leprosy or anything like that. And it's like his mind was just so purified of the guilty concept that things would change. But what did it take for it to change? It took their faith. It also took their faith because it's like you can't force a healing on someone. If someone wants to continue to believe that they've got this crippling disease or something like that, it's not like you can force them, even Jesus forced them. That's why he said, by your faith, you are healed. That's why he he told the lady who touched the hem of his garment, you know, and and said, Thank you, like he healed her. You see, and he's like, by your faith, you are healed. And it's like this, he's already got the purified perception. And so when she joins with him in that with her faith, she's automatically healed, right? So that's the trajectory that each of us is are on, too. And you know, we're guaranteed to be successful, we're guaranteed to be successful. It's really just a matter of time, right? Time, not really, willingness. That's why we're giving time to become willing. So it's the willingness that we will be made willing eventually, but that's a choice that we make. Thank you too. Yeah. So so another thing, another thing Jesus said that really, really stokes me out is the only thing that you need to be in a hurry to do is recognize the truth. So notice when you're in a hurry, like you got an appointment or something, some something you feel rushed. Notice you feel rushed. I notice myself, you know. Uh that that's one thing I like to tune myself into is that I've had a lot of overwhelm in my experience. Okay, just feeling like I got too many things to do. Too many things to do, too little time. So feeling rushed becomes a habit. So that habit of feeling rushed and bringing that to the truth, the only thing that you're assigned, or you could say commanded to do is be in a hurry to recognize the truth. So it's like, yeah, so so it's like that's that's the only thing that that you should be in a hurry to do, right? All the things in the world that you seem to be in a hurry to do, they're all meaningless things, and you can leave them up to the Holy Spirit. So little story. I was sitting in in Marina's cafe, the best cafe in the world, by the way. It's closed right now for this season, but it's an outdoor cafe. I'm sitting there in a cafe and I'm having a conversation with a couple. I'm sitting there for like three hours after the place closes and we're we're just talking and stuff. And I was like, Oh, yeah, I have a website, and you just go on my Website hopejohnson.org and there's a chat box there. And if you hit the chat box and you want to connect with me, it's going to go right to my phone. And they're like, How the heck are you going to answer those? You're just sitting here not looking at your phone for three hours talking to us. I'm like, it all works out. It just all works out. You know, it's like it's like I don't, I don't feel like I'm like important, you know, to the point in the way that, you know, I got something to do. I can't really just sit here and be with you guys, you know. It's just like listening, listening to the Holy Spirit. It's like I ate my food and then I'm like thinking I want to go to the beach. It was a sunny day. That was a thought that crossed my mind. And then, but I'm always checking in with the Holy Spirit. What would the Holy Spirit have me do right now? Oh, just sit down right now and like sit kind of digest a little bit and then see what comes up. And then the next thing you know, I'm in a conversation with these people. Totally miss the beach time and everything like that. I don't care because my joy is actually in listening to the Holy Spirit. It's not actually in doing what I think I want to do. I get these ideas that I want to do some certain shit. That's okay. You know, my joy is really in listening to the I don't know what's going to go on out at the beach if I like force myself

Fear Practice Sun Exposure And Peace

SPEAKER_00 45:10

to get down there, you know? So it seems like, oh, well, how would you even do that? And then other times, you know, people will send me messages and they'll be like, Did you get my messages? Oh, yeah, I did see your message. Oh, and then you just didn't respond to it. Apparently, I didn't respond to it. That happens too, you know, like I'm it's true. And it, and you know, it gets me off the hook all the time. It does, the Holy Spirit, right? Because it's like, yeah, I was just listening to the Holy Spirit. I don't, I, I, I just uh I'll do this. And and we were just in A Course in Miracles last Wednesday in chapter three, section three, I believe it were on paragraph 12, 13, something like that. You guys could look it up in the complete annotated edition. It says something like, if you're unable to leave the requests of people unanswered, that's egocentricity, right? Being unable to leave the requests of people unanswered, right? So there's this thing like about service. We want to be in service, right? Myself, I just went to about a year ago being just I'm just being totally in service. I'm being totally in service. Well, when you when you tell people you're in service, some people are like, oh, you're in service. I got a lot of shit that I want to have done. I want to use you for a bunch of different stuff. And I think that's the reason why people have a hard time being in service, too. It's as if you're in service to people. No, you're not in service to people, you're in service to the Holy Spirit, as the Holy Spirit would use you to help everyone see things differently, right? However, the Holy Spirit would use you, that's your greatest joy. That's why service is the greatest joy, right? And really everyone can do this. People think, you know, well, you could be in service because other people go to work and have a job and actually earn money. Well, actually, no, that's a that's something we made up. No one actually needs to do this. This this is not something people need to do. It seems like people need to earn money because we have we have told ourselves and trained ourselves that we have to earn our place in the world. And so this is the this is the thing that people believe that they can't listen to the Holy Spirit. They have to go out and slug it out to get what they want for themselves. Just this little tiny sliver of life. I want to get a sliver of life for myself, right? This idea of getting a big enough nest egg. You're gonna work long enough to get yourself a nest egg so you feel safe, so you can retire. You're gonna have enough money to get you through retirement, right? It's not true. You don't have to do that. There's no there's no need to do that. You're not sustained by money, you're sustained by the love of God. Now, again, I'm saying don't tempt the ego. If you don't have the faith for this, keep going to work. It's it's more like it's more like I'm giving it to you as an idea that can grow in your mind and have real results in your life in time once you develop the faith for it, really. The the willingness to see your willingness, little bit of willingness, right? Of course, in miracles talks a lot about a little bit of willingness. That little bit of willingness to see things differently grows into enormous willingness, right? So it's like one way it it said is nod to God. Like if you hear this, oh, no one really has to earn their keep, no one really has to earn their place. I don't actually have to go to work, I don't actually have to age, right? I can actually, I can actually just keep on going on and on and on and on and on. And actually, you know, ultimately we're not we're not these bodies. Even, you know, a body that goes on 900 years or whatever, ultimately we're not that either. Ultimately, we see through and see the the actual creations of life of light and not be in a world, not perceive ourselves in a world where things deteriorate at all. Look, even our plants deteriorate. Look at this. The sky's brown right here, right? That's what tells you this is it's it's it's an effective error because things deteriorate. Even cars, everything like that. Even your car can heal without going to the mechanic, right? Because everything's creation is light. But it's this it's this belief that everything's separate, and that is the error. It's based on separation, it's not based on past trauma, as people believe. Yeah, yeah. Okay, confirmed. I don't I don't see your comments on Facebook, so come on to Zoom if you want me to see your comment. There's a link right there to the first comment. If you want to join me on Zoom, please go ahead. Thank you so much for joining. I love you. There's no place where God's laws are not in effect. So the laws of the world oppose God's laws, right? What are what are God's laws, for instance? Eternity, right? Innocence, perfect innocence, perfect loving, perfectly loving beings. There's nothing but perfectly loving beings. So we can't be affected by, let's say, someone's possessed, right? Someone's possessed. We can't be affected by that. It's our mind that makes the effects. So when we believe, for instance, that the government is a threat, this is a common thing to believe that whatever the government is doing, whether you're, you know, whether you're political at all or anything like that, into conspiracy theories, anything like that, when we believe that there's an actual threat out there, we're actually projecting threat. Our mind is projecting threat. And we can't, we can't uh uh control that. We can't control how that's being made manifest. So we keep on seeing things like wars, like sickness, like accidents, like blister beetles biting us. I seem to get my first blister beetle bite recently. Is that it called a bite? I don't even know. But yeah, it's like it, it's it's not like this manifesting thing like new age manifestation where you would go, what have I what have I done? you know, and try to pinpoint it like that.

Listening To The Holy Spirit In Service

SPEAKER_00 52:10

It's it's more like looking at it as that's an error, that's not even there. And you know, my I saw my mind go to, oh, you're in tropical now. What if that gets infected? That's right where the practice occurs. It's that thought, it's taking that thought to the truth. It's not saying I don't need to do anything to try to stop infection, it's not saying I do need to do anything, it's not either way, right? It's just it's just listening to the Holy Spirit in the moment, to whatever it is that the Holy Spirit would have you do in the moment. But it's not believing these thoughts that you have to do anything to avoid infection, or that you should just not do anything to avoid infection to prove to yourself that it's an illusion. It's neither of those. It's really just listening in the moment and bringing those thoughts to the truth. This one, I give the miracles I have received. Is that tomorrow's lesson? That's tomorrow's lesson because tomorrow I'm doing a deep dive into that lesson right here, same time, all these same channels, three channels online, too, doing a deep dive into the lesson. I give the miracles I have received. Right? And so you guys can join me there too. But what I'm saying is no matter what it is, you can bring your allusions to that if you're practicing a course in miracles, thought of the day. And you don't have to be practicing a course in miracles. Jesus didn't say that you have to do that particular course. Now he does say that the content of the course, like what it's teaching, is a required course that everyone will take. So you can take it in that form or you can take it in another form. But for instance, Jesus and Buddha, that is not the same kind of energy. Okay, Buddha's more about accepting the world of form. Okay. He's more about, you know, Buddha says something like, embrace the world like it's your only child. And I'm not saying that is not beautiful. It's beautiful. Buddha's beautiful. He's just his teaching doesn't take it all the way to undoing illusions, is what I'm saying. Okay. So, so there's, I don't know of another teaching that's similar to a course in miracles. I'm sure there is another teaching because Jesus calls it a course in miracles, not the course in miracles, right? So I'm sure there is. Maybe it's in another language. I never heard of it. There's a lot of other teachings that are pointing in the same way, but they're falling short. I've I've done a lot of study before coming upon a course in miracles. They fall short to undoing the world. Okay. It's more like just embrace your fate that you're gonna die. Right? Just like the Buddha, no resurrection there, right? Embrace your fate, you're gonna die. I was in an Advaita satsong when I was in Mexico, and the the person doing the satsong actually said, We need to embrace death because it's part of life. And then she said, Does that make sense? And I was like, No, it doesn't. Oh no, that does not make sense at all to me. How could death be part of life? Well, it's it's just it's just part of life. And I was like, Really? If your mind is all powerful, is that how you want it? Is that how you want it to be? Well, I had to stop questioning that satsong person because she started to get a little. I'm like, all right, well, okay, let's just keep it like that. Let's just go along. Let's just go along like that. I mean, I found myself at the Satsong because I met her ahead of time and I told her I teach a course in miracles. And she's like, Oh, a course in miracles. I love a course in miracles. But the thing is, she hadn't looked at a course in miracles in probably decades, and she was into Advaita. Okay. And it's it's beautiful, just like all the spiritual teachings, they're beautiful, right? It's just that they fall short of undoing the loot, the illusion, undoing the world. And there's a lot of defense about that with spiritual people too. I notice it flares right up in my face. And it's it's really fun for me because I just keep on becoming more certain that the truth is true, right? I just keep on becoming more certain that yeah, we're we're actually meant to undo this illusion, not accept death and go. I mean, that's good too. Jesus wants you to feel good about death if you want death. If you want death, he wants you to feel good about it. You know, he wants you to feel happy about it and be in embracing it. He wants you to feel as happy as you possibly can. But what he's saying, and especially in chapter two of A Course in Miracles, instead of doing these circular miracles where you just get relief for the illusions, you keep on getting relief. He's like, What I'm what I'm actually assigning you to do here is undo the illusion so that you're not just getting this relief. Like you're like, oh yeah, okay, I embrace it, I accept it. This is what's gonna happen. This is part of life, death is part of life. I'm just gonna die and I'm gonna get old, and all the things are gonna happen. And and and he's like, that's fine. I want that for you too. But what I'm telling you is, I want you to see that you're meant to actually undo this stuff completely, telling you, I want you to collapse time, right? This is what your assignment is, actually. It's to collapse time, so you're not projecting the world. So all these guys, like the Buddha and the Advaita guys, and all these guys, they are projecting the world too in a more peaceful way. Yeah, but death is still occurring, and the argument is and the defense about it is ah, it's like the defense is basically saying, I want to keep death, and yeah, I want to keep it, you know. Like I I don't want to hear that I can undo it because I don't believe that. I want to keep doing this, I want to keep dying, I want to keep being born and I want to keep dying again. It's like really fun or something. Next lifetime, I'm gonna do this, for instance. Next lifetime I'm coming back as the most, I don't know. You know, and and that's and that's the thing too. When you get to the death realm, like let's say your body passes away, okay, in this lifetime. You lay down the body in this lifetime, you find yourself in what I'm calling the death realm. I think that's a name I just gave to it. I don't know. But it's kind of like it's kind of like between where you're you're not in heaven, but you're feeling super relieved, right? And there's these beings there telling you that they're planning your next life with you, right? You're looking at it and they're planning the next life and everything like that. Tell those guys to go fuck themselves, right? I'm going to God. You can you can actually make the choice right there. It's like, no, I'm not going to do that again. I'm going to God, right? It's like, no, uh, you know, it's like there's this, there's this idea that you have to, and people, people who have had near-death experiences. I've watched a lot of those near-death experiences too. And when they had those near-death experiences, they're like, it is so peaceful, it's so freaking peaceful there in the death realm. I want to stay there. But then they tell me that I have these things to do on earth. And what I'm saying is, and what I've learned from a course in miracles, is you are way more effective just going all the way to God. You know, if you're still used on earth, okay, you're used in a completely different way. You do not have a body that's limited. You can just manifest the body and help some people out like that, right? And and and you can manifest whatever it is that you want. You don't, you don't need to eat, you don't need to sleep, you don't need to go to the bathroom, you don't need any money, right? Because you're not in, you're you're not taking on the thought of separation. That's how Jesus is doing it. That's how Jesus is helping us. He's it, he doesn't take on bodies again and again and again. He's outside of the timeline. He's outside of the timeline directing us. And you could do the same thing. You do not need to come back to a thought of separation. There's some, there's no here to come back to like that. It's coming back to taking on the thought of separation again. That's a choice you're making. So you can actually make the choice to not take on the thought of separation again. And this is something that, you know, I was sharing for a couple months. This is something that that just recently, a few months ago, was shown to me very clearly that you do not have to choose to take on the thought of separation again. You could say no, you know, the way I'm saying is tell them to go fuck themselves. You don't really have to say it that way. It doesn't really matter because those words, you know, it's it's that it's really the feeling and the choice that you're making. The words don't really matter. It's a choice that you're making to say, no, I'm not taking on the thought of separation again. No, I I know I can be way more helpful without taking on a thought of separation. That's not helping, that's actually projecting. But once you have taken on the thought of separation and you find yourself apparently in a limited body, then that's where you're developing the willingness. And then once you once you know that that's all you have to do, you're done learning. You know, you're done learning. You're just you're now accepting that you just you just have to be willing over and over and over again. And you receive the peace of God over and over again, and you're tasting eternal life over and over again. And that's how you are being helpful. It's not necessary to take on the thought of separation. Okay, I got a couple questions here or something like that. I'm going through this practice right now in form, as all my back teeth apparently are infected and need to be removed. And she's going, Eek, and she's laughing at the same time. I love that. Yeah. And she's laughing and she's like, eek, yeah. So accepting yourself when you're going, this sucks that my teeth are being removed, right? So you're accepting yourself about that. And then the other thing is the idea that you have to have your teeth removed, that's an idea. That doesn't mean that you're going to avoid the dentist. You're just going to listen to the Holy Spirit. If they get removed, they get removed. Also, the idea, what if you have the idea that you can't afford to get some, what are they, denters? I don't know, whatever it's called. Implants. Thank you. That's old school denters, right? Or you could take them out and in. They probably still have those. Implants, okay? So let's say that this also part of the story is you can't afford to get implants. So now I'm just gonna have to be toothless and that kind of stuff, right? Look, anything can occur. So you're you're you're looking at this, like, okay, I get this feeling in my body sense that I do not like this, accept the self not liking it. And then also bring all thoughts to the truth, all thoughts that tell you why you cannot have your teeth grow back or get implement. They say you only get you only get two sets, right? Cannot be true. All right, none of this stuff can really be true. So it's like having the faith for it that nothing that this world is telling you is real. Anything can regenerate. So it's there's a there's one of regenerating the actual teeth, there's two, two of uh regenerating the apparent uh finances to get the implants, either one, whatever. You know, it's like recognizing that nothing that you seem to see is actually true, and you're willing to accept the peace of God over and over and over again, you're gonna start seeing things changing. That's all. Okay, another one curious. What do you think might be happening with exorcism? Exorcisms. There's apparently a long history of this, or speaking in tongues, even just playing out the silly dramas of a guilty ego. Well, yeah, definitely. So exorcisms, you know, Jesus has examples of exorcisms in the Bible, right? So he does not believe that there are evil spirits, right? It's like, and how could there be, right? Because spirit is spirit. There's and if there's only God's creations, then there cannot be evil spirits. It's a person, someone possessed by a demon is a really a person believing that they could be possessed by a demon. Okay. And likely the people

SPEAKER_00 1:05:10

around them are also believing this and projecting this onto them. This is a common thing, especially back then in those days. And it seems to be coming around now because people are increasingly believing in evil spirits. When I was in Sedona, I met a guy who was staying in the same apartment complex as me, and he was kind of freaked out because in in the night he would see these demons on his ceiling of his. I don't even know how he was like dealing with this perception he was having, but he would see dealing these demons just right in his room. And he's like, he's like, they're real, they're they're really there. I did not try to argue with the guy at all. I just recognized that what he's seeing is a manifestation of his own beliefs, that that's not really true. There are no demons. There are no evil spirits. And that's something Jesus knew. So that's why there were all these priests and other guys that are supposed to be like good at exorcism and stuff like that, dealing with this one woman who was who was seemingly possessed and no one could could handle it. They'd go in there and they'd get so scared because the way she was acting was like insane, right? Well, Jesus was like, He didn't believe in the things that he saw of the world. He only knew that the truth is true. So he could just go in there and immediately take care of this woman by being there and being in the presence and recognizing that's that's up to her. She's she's not possessed, she's believing that she's possessed, right? She's believing in this. And you know, that could be said for the same thing with the guy who was going around murdering. You know, people would probably see this guy coming around like with this bloodlust, right? And really believing that he's possessed, or maybe he's affected by drugs. Same thing, same thing. You know, if you're willing to see that can't possibly be true. You're you're really, you know, you're giving you're giving this gift. I give the miracles I have received. What have I received? I received mercy, right? I've received complete mercy. I've received the awareness that nothing can affect me because I'm real, right? Uh nothing, nothing that's real can be threatened and nothing unreal exists. Okay, that's peace. And with that peace, it's like the it's like all things that seem to be demons, there are no demons, but all things that seem to be demons, they can't stand. You know, error cannot withstand truth. That's the thing. It's just that we're agreeing with error. Oh, this is scary. Right? Oh, this is real. Oh, this person is really threatening. They can really threaten me. It's not really true. So when you're when you're perceiving this, and you know, a lot of people want to believe that there are demons, they want to believe that. And that's what I saw with a guy in Sedona. He was actually from Hawaii, which was interesting. And he was actually Hawaiian, yeah. Um, so he's he's like, he's telling me his family thinks he's crazy, and I'm thinking, I bet they do.

unknown 1:08:26

Right.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:28

He's over there in Sedona slaying demons and not doing very well, apparently, since they're still on his ceiling, right? And they're still, he's not doing a very good job of it, but you know, he's he's apparently getting better, and he's just like uh going and and and he goes, I'm I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm telling you all this stuff. And I was like, No, no, you're doing great, you're doing awesome. I go, I could tell you care, right? I didn't start arguing with him and telling him there's no demons or anything like that. I'm just me knowing that there are no demons. And you know, if the Holy Spirit was guiding me to tell him, hey, you know what? Let me tell you a little secret, you made it up, then uh, you know, that would be the case too. But I just listen, that's what I do. I be in a listening way. So, what happens for a lot of people who are, you know, conceptually knowing these things, and at first you're gonna conceptually know these things. That's okay. Through the through the process of perceiving, the Holy Spirit teaches your mind. So you so so just being there and feeling what I feel, because notice when he's talking about that there's these demons and stuff, and feeling what I feel in my body's energy field, accepting how I feel again, right? Felt a little bit uncomfortable at first, you know. Uh, and then that comes to that that actually becomes a comfortable place for me to be because I can accept the uncomfort of a person who's uh going on and on about these demons being everywhere. It's he's telling them they're in my me, that they're in my apartment too. They're all over here, they're all over this place. This is a vortex where demons are coming in. That's what he's saying about Sedona, right? People have definitely different interpretations than that. It's all over the place, right? I've heard of it being like not a vortex, a portal, what he's saying. It's a portal for all these demons to come in. This is what the dude was telling me. Well, a lot of people also believe it's a portal for all these good spirits to come in and manifestation. I even met people that are are saying, you know, it's a portal for them to finally get all the money that they want, right? So it could be whatever people people want it to be. So I'm just being there immediately, you know, I felt uncomfortable because this is totally different from the way I perceive anything. And I kind of felt bad for the dude that he had to put himself through that, you know, that he was adamant and even seemed like he was borderline, you know, maybe becoming violent any second, you know. Any anyone question anything that he's saying, but just being being willing to listen and listen with the whole body sense. That means I'm opening up my body sense to feel what I feel. And what happens when we're being resistant to something is we can actually feel it when we're tuned into the body sense, close in. The ribs kind of like pull in and actually like physically compress the organs. So the breathing starts to change and everything like that. So I just I just accept that. And in accepting that, it actually opens. So then it'll actually broaden out, like I could feel the rib cage, rib cage actually broaden out where I'm accepting and receiving the experience. I'm not accepting that demons are real, I'm accepting and receiving the experience from my perspective so I could be as helpful as possible. And in that case, it was just a matter of reminding him I see that you care. I see that you care about everyone. Thank you for doing that. And you know, that was really uh that was really the truth behind everything. It's like in his mind, he's over there saving everyone from these demons. What's he really doing? He's projecting evil spirits that are not really there. So he's projecting it over and over again. But it's like just being willing to bring comfort wherever comfort is being called for and how the Holy Spirit's the Holy Spirit guides it, which could be very different in every single circumstance. You know, there's some circumstances where the guidance is just for me to say something completely off the wall and shock the shit out of people, too. And, you know, I've been shown that, you know, sometimes people need that shock. It's like actually how the light gets in. And sometimes people need some gentleness. How would I know what they need? I have no idea. I can't tell, right? I can't tell what's being called of me. And I could, I could act in all kinds of different ways. So in and when I'm in a listening way and I'm open and I'm accepting of my interpretation and reaction and everything like that, that's where I can get the Holy Spirit's interpretation and guidance in the moment. So thank you for that question. I love it. There was another part of the question too. Speaking in tongues. Okay, that's another one. So speaking in tongues, that is a silly thing. That is a really silly thing. Okay. There's not the certainly you're not being asked to speak in a way that people cannot understand you. All right. That's not that's that's a that's something I've heard from Jesus, you know, through Course in Miracles and just tuning in and praying and stuff like that. You're not being asked to, that's kind of like a show to make a show like that. My parents used to do it. In case you don't know, it's raised a Christian missionary. My dad was really good at that. You know, he put on quite the show. It seemed like he was totally filled with the spirit and he's just like speaking all this gibberish. And of course, in miracles, Jesus mentions that and says, There in no way am I telling you that you should be speaking in a way that people can't understand. It actually doesn't make any sense. So that's just something that people came up with the speaking in tongues thing. And, you know, it gives people a sense that they're being spiritual and stuff like that. And it's fine, it's not right, it's not wrong. It's also not communicating. That's all. All right. So here's another one. So we can all cast out illusions, blocks to love or demons, yes, by extending forgiveness, love, peace. Yes, it's all it's all extending by extending, you're you're basically casting them out. So I don't know what happened with that dude later on or anything like that. You know, that's not up to me to follow up on anything like that. But, you know, it's just planting the seeds of this total acceptance that everything, you know, everything is fine, everything is is better than fine because the Holy Spirit is actually using everything that occurs as the means for showing us how to see things differently. So if that has to do with someone seeing demons on the ceiling of their bedroom and thinking that where they live is a portal for demons and the demons are coming through here to destroy the earth, the Holy Spirit is also able to use that fine. You know, I get the perception that my little brother also raised a Christian missionary even longer than I was, because I was out of it when my parents split up. He was in it till he was like 19 years old, traveling around with my dad, and seems to be into really into the world now, really into attaining. And, you know, when I go and visit it, visit him, you know, I can perceive all kinds of suffering, you know, just trying to attain in the world really brings on this sense of gosh, I don't uh it's the the sense like I don't have a life and that you know, I don't I don't have a life right now. I'm trying to make my life, and it's like, well, when are you gonna do that? Because, you know, we're apparently middle-aged, man. You know, it's like uh so so it's like, you know, noticing what comes to my mind is the Holy Spirit's got this, and it's not like he's ever gonna run out of time. He's not ever gonna run out of time, you know. It looks like you know, the body's getting torn back and all this different stuff due to the idea that there's not enough money yet to rest. So it's just continually going, going, going, right? Sorry, I don't have time for this because I'm not there yet. It's it's kind of like spirituality, not there yet. The same kind of it's it's kind of like that same kind of vibe. I don't have enough money yet to relax. I don't have enough money yet to just be present, right? So, yeah, forgiveness, extending peace. It's okay. You know, I'll hear from other family members and go, boy, he's just so this and that. And I go, and and I go, well, you know, what's going on is you're, you know, what you're seeing is the effect of a painful belief system. He's not being mean, he's not being mean to you. You know, some family members are like, gosh, he already has so much money. Here, he doesn't, and he, and you know, he doesn't help us out and stuff like that. He doesn't share it, he doesn't help us out. It's like, it's like, man, the Holy Spirit is taking care of everything, and it doesn't really matter how much money anyone has, right? The Holy Spirit is totally taking care of everything. And this is not like in the way that, you know, from my Christian background, it would have been like the oh, the Lord's gonna deal with him, the Lord's gonna take all his money away and do

The Death Realm And Choosing God

SPEAKER_00 1:17:40

no, the Lord doesn't deal with punishment, there's no vengeance. That verse, Jesus cleared that verse up in A Course in Miracles. It says, Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord. And he's like, Christians, please pay attention here. Would God, an all-loving God, really say something like that? Would that really be a thing that God would say? So, and and so what he's what he's kind of like instructing or commanding us to do is not believe that people are setting themselves up for God's vengeance in any kind of way. They're you know, really, it's like to see that the Holy Spirit has him. And that's what I I communicate to my family. The Holy Spirit's got this, right? It's like it's not up to us, it's only up to us to love him. It's not up to us to be projecting that some kind of drama is gonna happen to him that's gonna make him see. That's not the way God works. God doesn't give you some kind of accident or anything like that to make you see. Those kinds of things are effects God knows nothing about. Those are effects of a mind that believes in separation. So, what I do for people and for myself, because we're one mind, is see them being entitled to and receiving miracles, miracles of grace, rather than seeing them have to be crushed in order to receive the love of God. And now, this is something that I grew up with. And you know, one thing my mom would say it still sticks in my mind, is she'd tell me, you better fall on the rock, sister, before the rock falls on you. Like I'm gonna get crushed, right? If I don't do whatever it is that my mom thought I should be doing. And God is going to. And you know, when I see when I when I see that even, you know, in my mind and see it come up and looking back, it's like, I don't condemn my mom for saying that either. It's like, oh, she believed that she really believed that and may still believe that, may still believe that God still is a punishing God and wants to punish people. So that's the thing about you know, giving the miracles is really giving what the mercy that I've received. And everyone can receive this mercy by just opening up and being willing to receive it, being willing to see things differently, that you're, you know, you're not something that uh that is affected by these illusions at all. All right, so what else? And that can look many different ways depending on the Holy Spirit's guidance. Yes, it can look all different ways. So I got no rules. So a lot of the times people ask me, what would you do in this situation? Well, and sometimes I will give a hypothetical. All right, I'm gonna give you a hypothetical, but I don't know. Like right now, when you're asking me, this is what it seems to be that I might do just for fun, just for shits and giggles, right? But in the actual moment, I'm just listening in the moment, and then that's how I know what I'm gonna do. Right? And and to me, from my perspective, I cannot get it wrong. I can only believe that I've gotten it wrong. You know why I would believe that I've gotten it wrong? Because I failed to ask. I failed to ask for guidance. When I failed to ask for guidance, I could believe that I got it wrong. And in that, I can I can also receive the miracle because everything I do is a hundred percent helpful a hundred percent of the time. And that has to do with everyone else too. Everything you do is a hundred percent helpful a hundred percent of the time. So I can't just have that for myself and then be projecting that other people are not helpful. It doesn't work that way, right? So even if I failed to ask and then I got scared and I perceived that I wasn't helpful, that's what I bring to the miracle. I'm bringing the mercy into that, even right. So it's like, oh I just failed to ask. That's why I have this perception that I did it wrong. That's why I have a perception that I wasn't being helpful because in that moment I failed to ask. Is that a real problem right now? No, because before didn't happen. It's only right now. That's not an actual problem. So I come back to no matter what I perceive, I've been 100% helpful 100% of the time. And that's something that I learned from you know, Jesus saying, you are perfectly unaffected by lack of love, even coming from yourself to another person. You are perfectly unaffected by lack of love, whether it comes from yourself to another person, from another person to you, or yourself to yourself. You are perfectly unaffected by that right now. So that's why, you know, I often say, I often tell people, we're all of us are 100% helpful 100% of the time. If we're willing to see it that way, then we're we're aware that we're not affected by anything that seems to have happened in the past. So this is this is my way, you could say, of being unaffected by things that seem to have happened in the past. So it's like whatever resonates for you to help you to see that, you know. For me, it's that one. It's like it's always helpful. Always helpful.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:20

Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:30

All right, I see a comment. Fuck those guys, yes. Okay, that's a good comment. Now that is a good use of that statement. Rolling on the floor laughing, okay? Thank you. And you know, I've said that before to a mom, okay? There's a mom, she's uh gone through divorce or separation from her husband, and then they have a kid who's like a teenager, and then all of a sudden the husband and the kids and the kid are both reflecting to her that she's crazy, that she's got a problem. She's she's crazy. And I go, you know what? Fuck those guys, right? I use it like that too. It's not as it's not it's not a matter of like making them wrong or anything like that. It's like look at it this way. That shit doesn't mean anything. That does not mean anything. It's like this is part of embracing who you are. Don't start questioning the ideas that they're putting in your mind. You know, that's really your own mind. It's like you're projecting them to reflect back to you, to tell you that you're a crazy bitch and that you should be whatever, you know. And so then my friend's crying, you know, she can barely even contain herself. She's cry calling me, and I was like, fuck those guys. She's like, What? I'm like, yeah, nothing they're saying is true. Right? And and they'll actually change when you accept that what they're projecting to you is not true. It's not like you go, it's not like I'm saying, go over to them saying, fuck you. Maybe, you know, maybe that is the guidance in the moment, though. It could be. That could actually be because you're coming from a place of being browbeat, you know, you never know what it is, really. It could be anything, right? To bring you all the way to forgiveness, right? It's not like you should try to control yourself in this way, but that was like what came up, you know, when I'm listening to the Holy Spirit. It's like, fuck those guys. It's like none of that stuff is true. Don't believe that stuff, right? I mean, ultimately, when your mind is really clear, it's more like, oh, thanks for letting me know. I love you guys, right? And your mind is really clear. You're to that point where you're like, oh, thank you for letting me know. Okay. Well, you know what? I'll get they'll just give you guys some space with that thought. I'll be over here. Let me know. And you're you know, this idea that you need your son to like you too. That was another thing. I'm like, you don't need him to like you. Fuck that guy, right? He wants to, he, he wants to make uh make projections like that. And and really, you know, I've had that kind of experience myself where my son wants to make projections that I'm a bad person and stuff like that. It's like, okay, that's that's cool. We're just not we're not interacting right now. In my mind, we're meditating together, right? We're not interacting, and then eventually the sun comes around because all the sun wants is for you to accept yourself. I promise. All the son wants, all the ex-husband wants. They really, because that's what really brings them the recognition that they have the peace of God as well. It's like, okay, okay, I hear you. All right, I'm gonna, I'm just gonna be hanging out over here. I'm gonna be doing my thing over here. Let me know when you guys change your mind about that, and we can get together, right? It's not like I'm gonna start weeping about it because I know that whatever perception they're having right now, it's a hundred percent helpful 100% of the time. And my and and if I'm getting a reaction to it that's like fuck those guys, also helpful. Also helpful, right? Because ultimately the Holy Spirit is using everything for helping us to see things differently. Right. So here's another one. When I get to the dealt the when I get to the death realm, I will remember this talk. Well, okay, and you might not make it to the death realm. You might not. You know, you're you're you're committed to seeing things differently. I know you are. So that's the other thing. You you may not make it to the death realm. You may actually see through this illusion before that has to occur. This is not. An inevitability. It's just something that we have been taught is an in is an inevitability. But I'm saying there's another chance. Should you find yourself over there? Because it because it's like when when your mind isn't purified of the guilty concept, you don't go to heaven. You don't

Teeth Healing Exorcism And Tongues

SPEAKER_00 1:28:20

see heaven. There's not really anywhere to go. Let's say you don't see heaven. What you see is what I'm calling the death realm. It's where you're you're you're chilling out and you're feeling really good because you don't have a body sense anymore, and you're making another choice. You have noticed, you have to choose to take on the thought of separation again. They don't put it like that in the death realm. They don't tell you, you know, yeah, will you take on the thought of separation again? No, they go, it's really important that you take on, because you're gonna do this and you're gonna have these kind of experiences, and you're gonna do all this kind of shit, and it's gonna be really cool, and you're gonna go through these struggles, and it's gonna be really important, you know. And and then and then you choose, though. No one makes you do it. You choose, you can choose not to do it, okay? Yay. I saw those comments. I'm happy about that. All right, let me see. Oh, how here we are over on Substack, too. Okay, Substack. This helps to overcome overcome triggers. How to help someone else who is triggered for no seeming reason? Wait a minute. This helps to overcome triggers. That's a sentence. How to help someone? This is a question. How to help someone else who is triggered for no seeming reason. I may have answered that because after that you gave me a shaka or something. Yeah. So helping someone else who's triggered for no seeming reason, it's just recognizing that they're helpful 100% of the time. That's what I see. You know, I've seen people getting really triggered at me, apparently at me. It's not really at me, that's the thing. That's what I notice too. And they may even seem to be about to hit me. I've been in circumstances where people seem like they're about to hit me. They're kind of like, what do they call that? When they're just like they're they're like moving their body in a certain way, like they're gonna, they're they're gonna strike you, you know, and and having men, you know, one time it was my son who's like way bigger than me, you know, just like having men just like kind of do that and and recognizing, oh, this is helpful. It's a hundred percent helpful, and you know, and noticing how I'm not flinching at that. I'm just standing there. I'm like, oh, okay. I have experience too, you know, as a kid, I went through what people would call abuse. You know, I've been like like thrown on the head, had my head busted open, been kicked in the genitals and stuff like that, hung on the wall, like you know, uh like by the neck and stuff like that. And what I notice is when you're in the actual experience, it's not really that scary. Like it's sort of like your spirit just like takes off or something. It's almost like you're looking at it from outside. You know, it's more like the fear of having something like that happen that it's like like the thing. Like so, uh, so when someone's uh seems to be threatening, like they're gonna hit me or something like that. What I notice and it kind of makes me laugh, I don't even move. It's like, and in those recent ones, no one actually hit me. They didn't actually hit me, you know. Like when I saw my son coming, you know, his eyes looked different. Like someone might think that they look possessed, right? His eyes look different as he's coming at me. And it was just like really in like this split second where it was, it was just like there was this. I felt the rush of fear, like I'll get a rush of fear. Uh I felt the rush of fear, and then immediately the peace of God. Like nothing's gonna be threatened. And it's not saying he's not gonna hit me. I don't know. In the dream, he could hit me, but there's nothing being threatened. That's the point, right? So there could be that rush, but still, and that's uh, and and that's how we really help a person who's triggered. We recognize that there's nothing, there's no threat here. There's no real threat, right? Another one, I haven't told the story in a while, but such a good story. Such a it was such a good teaching for me. I was in San Francisco and I was hanging out in an abandoned building. I was only about 14 years old. I was hanging out in this abandoned building in the middle of the night, and my friend was a little bit older than me, and she was had she was having sex with all these different guys in the same night, right? They were kind of like taking turns having sex with her. I did not realize I was getting into this, right? So they're looking at me, and you know, uh, and and and and uh and they're like, Well, what about like what about you? You know, and uh all of a sudden there's like all these guys around me, and these are men, they're like in their early 20s, and I'm just 14, and you know, I'm small now. You can imagine at 14 and probably pretty small too. Maybe I was the same size, I'm not sure. But but you go, there's this rush of fear because I could see that they're just like closing in on me. I could see all their eyes switch, their eyes switch to this. If we're gonna take this chick, right. And I feel this rush come through my rush of fear, right? And immediately Jesus, because you know, I'm still at 14. I've been raised a Christian missionary. I was actually much of my childhood, uh, I was given a couple of hours every day to be with Jesus. That was part of what I was doing as a missionary, to like be with Jesus and hear from Jesus and and listen and stuff like that. So I get this rush, and then all of a sudden, I get this sense of peace. I get the peace of God within that. And then all of a sudden, my mouth opens and I go, Hey, do you guys know about Jesus? Yeah, and they kind of looked at me and I saw them switch. I saw them switch from the like the evil eyes to what the heck? We have no, we haven't. In fact, they never left San Francisco, they were in their 20s, they had never even left San Francisco. You know, they had like long black hair that they that they dyed black, and and then they they also had the like the dark makeup on. They were considered the death rockers, death rockers, that's what they were. And no, they never heard of Jesus, they never met left San Francisco even. So then they had they happened to have a car, and they offered to drive me and my friend home. My friend had had gone there over time and had always taken the bus home. We had lived uh like an hour north of San Francisco, always taking the bus home, and they take us in their car and drive us home. And for the first time, they're out of the city, like in the whole in the time they had never seen cows. There's cows on the side of the road. They're like, what the fuck are those? Cows, man. What? What? They're like just a total life of sex, drugs, getting, getting, getting, taking, taking, taking. And you know, if I would have remained in fear, if that rush of fear wouldn't have been would have been there without the the peace of God, then I would have just been playing into that same energy, right? So it would have been the same, it would have been going along with that same kind of energy. But I noticed it within myself, and it was such a potent teaching for me. I felt, wow, I'm just safe in any situation because I have the peace of God. And it was also such a nice opportunity to witness with those guys. They ended up praying with me and asking Jesus into their heart. You know, that was the way I witnessed back then. And and, you know, even to this day, I love the prayer that we would do because we would do, Jesus, come into my heart, forgive me all my sins, and let me have eternal life. And the way we would, the way we looked at it as Christians, too, once you said that prayer, it did not matter what the fuck you did after that. You have a helmet on, a helmet of salvation, right? You're saved. It doesn't matter what you do. I mean, that's very close, actually, to what we're seeing right now with the Course in Miracles, what Jesus is saying with the Course in Miracles, that, you know, none of this shit that you seem to see here is actually occurring. You are as God created you, you're entitled to miracles, you're entitled to heaven, right? It's just a matter of believing it. So the salvation from sin, it's like you just remember, you know, I told those guys, you just remember that you said this prayer. So you are going to heaven, basically. You know, in that time I thought it was a place that you went, but it was definitely very similar to the same thing. So it's that's that's a thing about being helpful and listening to the Holy Spirit. In that moment, I listened

Helping Triggered People Through Safety

to the Holy Spirit, and so it's it's like you're also guaranteed to be protected, even in the world, when you're willing to listen to the Holy Spirit and don't buy into the fear, right? So I've seen that the several times with people's eyes just uh changing where they'll they'll go, oh, okay, oh okay. I'll see people like oh, okay, take a breath.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:39

Yes, right there, otherwise we're always focused on the body, and then we leave with the body over and over again. That's what's happening.

SPEAKER_00 1:37:47

That's what's going on, yeah. So so Tony's saying it's really important to acknowledge that we are eternal beings, okay? So, so, so yes, and that's that's a lot of spirituality too, all kinds of new age spirituality. You know, we're talking about acknowledging that we're eternal beings, and then also believing that we have to do this, and this is the only thing we have is this repetitive life over and over and over again. And I've seen like the uh like outside from outside of the the illusion. Why do we believe that this is all there is that we have to repeatedly die over and over and over again? It's because there's underlying fear, like this this world is based on this idea that we're we're nothing. It's we're we're not nothing, we're everything. There's a big difference here. So this world is based on that we're just nothing in a void. We're basically dead, and we're just running into these stories to try to avoid knowing that we don't exist. We are actually existence, we're one with God, right? So it's like it's like there's God, you know, a really good symbol is God's the sun and we're the rays of the sun, right? So it's like we're not separate from that. And these lives, these lifetimes over and over and over again, where we're just dying, no matter how long the lifespan is, doesn't matter, where we're not experiencing eternal life. This is not our inheritance. We don't have to keep doing this, and that's why we're giving the we're given the opportunity and we're given the mind training to actually collapse time, which is what Jesus is assigning or commanding us to do. And why is he assigning or commanding us to do that? Because nothing, no manifestation, no worldly manifestation, no manifestation at all could ever satisfy us. Because we're eternal beings, we cannot find satisfaction in this, and it has no meaning whatsoever. So being given the opportunity, I was actually on a drug called DMT. I don't know if you guys tried that before, but woo-hoo! You take the right dose of that and you're like seeing some things. Okay. So what I was shown that is that where everyone's actually perceiving from is this fearful place that's like in the void. And it's like there's all these stories. It was shown to me as stories, kind of like a mall has stories, but it just goes on and on and on. There's all these stories, and there's all this fear when we're outside of a story and want to jump into a story. So we're constantly making stories for me from my perspective, as that the time I had that experience was maybe about six years ago. The time I had that experience, I was like, whoa, I felt the fear. I felt the extreme existential fear, right? And in the trip, I looked back at the person who gave me the DMT and he was he was in the trip with me, and I said, I'm seeing this because I need to see this, right? Because I was dealing with extreme fear. And he goes, Yes, you are. You know, he just in the in the trip, he reassured me. He wasn't really, he didn't really talk to me in his experience. But I'm like, okay, so I'm gonna get a load of this. I'm gonna see what's going on here. I need to see what's going on here. And what I saw was my mind frantically running into one of the give me any story. I don't care what story it is, just give me a story. I can't handle this being in being nothing, not existing, being in the void. Just give me one of those stories. And it was so it was so like existential, uh existentially fearful. What the thought that occurred to me is most people would not be able to handle having that kind of perception because when you when you see yourself putting the whole scene together, putting the beach, I was at YPO, putting the people, the truck, the bodies, putting my mind putting them together to save me from this fear. It was like just comfort me with these fake bodies around me, these this fake circumstances, fake beach, as beautiful as YPO is. Uh, I could see myself building it. I could see my mind building it. And that's exactly what we're doing when we're running to stories, we're just kind of frantically grabbing stories. I'm not saying that you should, I'm telling stories all day long, right? In this talk, aren't I? I'm not saying you shouldn't tell stories. Let the Holy Spirit use the stories. It's just that what we want to do is actually collapse time so that we can become aware that it's not that we don't exist, we are existence. And the creations of light that we're made, that we're created to experience are our real, our reality. It's beyond that void. That void is what everyone secretly believes they're in, which is what's making us make this world up. But the truth is we're not in that void. We're still in creation. We've never actually left creation, but it's only through our willingness to collapse all the stories. By, you know, what I'm saying, what you know, this talk has been about collapsing time like that, that we can see our reality and know it when we see it. We can't conceive it from from here, from this perception, what it's like to be in creation, the creation that God created for us, it's just the creations of light, eternal life, no deterioration, no sickness, no death, no needing to earn, no conflict. We'll know it when we see it, but we have to be willing to collapse time, which is basically collapsing this world first. And that takes a process for us because of the fear, because of the underlying fear. Okay. So being so gentle with yourself. Look at your self-talk. No, you don't have to get better at anything. No, you don't have to stop doing your habits. In fact, let your habits be used by the Holy Spirit. Let them be used, whatever those habits

DMT The Void And Collapsing Time

SPEAKER_00 1:44:20

seem to be. Do you like to eat sugar? Do you like to watch TV? Do you like to shoot up heroin? I'm saying I don't care what the habit is. Let the habit be used by the Holy Spirit. Let your willpower, let's say, let's say your will, be used for that. Letting everything be used by the Holy Spirit instead of trying to make yourself into the human that you think you should be. Because that's really not collapsing time, that's projecting time. If you truly want to collapse time, you're not going to worry about what this habit is doing to your meaningless ass body. Okay. It's not actually doing anything to your body, but it's your thoughts about it that are doing something to your body. Okay. That's what it is. It's only your thoughts that are affecting the form, the whole world of form, your body, whatever. So don't give that the any kind of meaning, like you should use some strong willpower to make yourself whatever, right? Working out, like that's a thing too. I have gone and made myself work out a lot as a youngster, right? Use willpower. I know willpower. I'm good at it compared to most people, very good at doing willpower. And there are people who seem to be not good at willpower. I'm telling you, that's not something to aspire towards. It's really not. It's not going to lead you anywhere. It only takes you toward death. All these paths in the world, they go toward death. So, no, you do not need willpower in the world. You need the will to collapse time right now. And that's the will to be in a hurry to see the truth, let's say. Right? It's not the, it's not this idea that you should be a better person, self-improvement, anything like that. That only leads everywhere that you don't want to go. So you don't need, let's say, another lifetime where you have better willpower. People will project for that too. And our minds are so powerful to keep on projecting time. If you're projecting that, well, you know, I'm a real fuck up in this lifetime, but you know, next lifetime, I really feel like I'm gonna have the willpower to do all the things that I really want to do. I really feel like, you know, I'm gonna be a workout person, I'm gonna eat well, I'm not gonna smoke, I'm gonna stop watching TV and you know, whatever you know you think you're gonna do in the next lifetime, that's very powerful to keep on projecting more death. And that's really what it's projecting. Okay, so you're fine. You don't need to develop willpower. What you need to develop is willingness, and that's and that's very simply giving that little bit of willingness, however little it is, just to just to see things differently, to see things clearly, to see that you're not guilty, you're not something that needs any kind of improvement, to see that you've always been helpful, to see that everyone else has always also been helping you, too. You know, it's uh it's so sweet when the way Jesus talks about it. He's he says something like, Take your brother's sure and steady hand, right? And and recognize that he's being helpful. Like no matter what he, it says he, but he, she, it's all the same. No matter what he or she seems to be doing, they are very being very helpful for you, right? So when you see that, that's where you're extending the blessing and actually collapsing time, and that helps everyone. We're we're still only one mind and in the in the illusion, one nervous system. Okay, so hooray, everyone. Woo! Yay! Thank you for joining. I love you. Thank you so much. Did you have a question or anything, or just rejoicing? Okay, good. Good. I'm happy. Okay, so if you want more Hope Johnson, you can go to hopejohnson.org. I've got lots of content on there. One of my friends tells me I have the most content of anyone in the world on a Course in Miracles. That's probably true. I've read all of the lessons on audio. It's all free to you get on the lessons. You can start with lesson one. I've read all the way up to 365 separate podcasts, reading them and also doing a contemplation on them. Only like a few minutes, maybe from five to 25 minutes, they are. I'm also doing these deep dives into the lessons now. I'm taking them whatever day we're on for the year. And I'm just taking that one. I'm deep diving into one lesson for an hour and a half now. Those are also getting recorded. They're in a separate podcast. I have two podcasts right now. Probably gonna split it into three because one of my podcasts has all my two-hour, an hour and a half the longer things. So I've got those deep dives into the lessons for an hour and a half on there. I've got the deep dives into the into the text for two hours on there. And then I've also got these two-hour talks, which I'm calling wisdom dialogues, have been for many years. And that's how it actually got started with these talks. And they're all on my website. You can also see how to link over to Spotify because you can get them on Spotify, you can get them on Apple Music, all kinds of different podcasts. They just like blast out to all these podcasts. I'm on YouTube, you can find me there, you can find me on Substack. And I also wrote a book called Unschooling for Parents, and that's because most of my awakening went through having kids. And I was very unconventional about the way I was raising kids because the way I was seeing things, I was using the whole parenting things for the Holy Spirit's purpose. And it was there not to get my kids to be well adjusted to society, that's for sure. I wrote a book about that. You can find that on my website. It's also on Amazon. You might even be able to get a really good deal or free on Kindle if you have the Prime membership. Also, you can donate via my website. This is completely funded by donations. So your donations are totally appreciated. I accept all kinds of donations. My friend Akahi today brought me some really nice water and some fruit. And I accept food, I accept technical support. I can always use some technical support, anything you want, money. You can go on the website and you can actually sign up for like monthly donating to me. Minimum $10, I think it takes.
