First Universal Reading for August 2023 Let’s Take a Good Look at What We Believe About Jesus ❤

I have forgiven him. Have you?

1. Allowing the Holy Spirit to take care of the future by releasing the fear and guilt through True Forgiveness, allows Him to clean up the attachment and trauma.

“Rest in the hammock and let the past go so the future can become a place of cooperation.”

This sums up my understanding of an article I just read from a prominent A Course in Miracles student/teacher.

I disagree with the direction of that teaching. It places too much power in the hands of you and me and skirts over anything that the Holy Spirit will do.

We NEED the Holy Spirit.

We need His direction and guidance and vision. We actually need His “eyes” because ours do not work at all when it comes to seeing who we truly are and what we are doing to ourselves.

True Forgiveness is “one and done” but we must work to REMEMBER that; like the hummingbird that needs to continue to flap its wings while it is collecting the nectar from the flower.

This keeps our “will” and focus on the truth that God IS and that His Son is innocent.

Bear in mind though, that while the Son of God ~ yep, that is you and I and All That Is ~ is/are still in a state of “undoing separation,” we are all still learning.

That means no one is without the ability to make a mistake. Not even Jesus.

In this state of “undoing separation” where the United Consciousness chooses to be in the ego mind frame of addiction, separation, and lack, we are DANGEROUS to one another.

And we are not doing our children any favors by teaching anything else.

It means that you need to remember it and have healthy boundaries as well as open eyes and ears to the instructions of the Holy Spirit.

2. Jesus has accepted the Atonement and as such, is our Elder Brother.

Jesus ALSO MAY BE the first who thought of separation which is why he received the Atonement first. This IS what makes him our elder brother.

He told us in the Course in Miracles to think of this in a vertical sense saying that without him our ability to reach God is beyond our capacity.

I suggest that this was NOT to set Jesus on a pedestal but to say that JESUS NEEDS to be FORGIVEN for having that first thought of separation or none of us will get back because we came about “after” this situation.

Time and space mean nothing in reality so what it does “mean” to us at this time is up to us.

We want to let go of our assumptions about knowing what Jesus’ message is and the recordings of his teachings.

HE just might be the ONLY one we truly need to forgive because all the rest of the chaos has come from that one delusion and in the TRUE FORGIVING of one ALL are forgiven as he has said in the Course.

I have only heard of one other who said this, but she heard it from me before she got it from him. I do not doubt her connection to him, I am only clarifying that I understand that this is a far out-of-the-norm kind of statement.

3. Forgive the original error.

This follows directly in line with what I just reviewed in #2.

The original error is the very first suspicion or idea that separation from God would be a possibility at all.

Over time, humanity has put Jesus on a pedestal and repeatedly placed him on the cross where we truly crucify ourselves over and over.

God’s Son was not created to be thrashed repeatedly by himself despite that very idea being taught in some areas around the world.

Forgiving the original error frees your mind from that challenge for good.

And leaves it available to the Holy Spirit for instruction and the process of removing the cult practices of thought that continue the cycle of suffering and separation.

THIS is the walk of those who have truly entered the Atonement.

4. Mental and physical illness enter when we deny who we truly are. We are an idea, or thoughts, first.

These are the consequences of not forgiving the original idea of separation.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CAN JUDGE THOSE WHO ARE ILL AS LESS THAN IN ANY WAY!

There is NO hierarchy in the Son of God!

Bear in mind that we carry not only our own imagined karma from this life but from many previous lives or future lives as life is all one NOW.

We also carry DNA from our direct ancestry that we are able to heal in this lifetime. And it can take on many forms of illness.

We are in the process of UNDOING the mental traps that the ego has set for us, and this includes the many forms of emotional, physical, or any other kind of illness we can think of or label as well.

This is ALREADY COMPLETED IN THE FULLNESS OF TRUTH.

HOWEVER:

THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE DO NOT NEED TO WALK THE WALK HERE AND NOW FOR IT TO BE ACCEPTED AND RECEIVED BY OUR OWN MINDS AND WILL.

There is much for us to do, and we have legions of assistance both here and on the other side of the veil of death.

Do not think that the work stops with the laying aside of the body. It continues until all are safely Home in Heaven with God and Christ/All That Is.

Till next time, God bless, debi.
