My comments are based on what I understand on the 21st of January 2025.
1. God’s teachers have learned how to be simple.
* Haha, this makes me think of the other meaning of simple which is “not straight in the head.” If you saw my post on how the mind sees different things you will understand why I am laughing. Haha!
²They have no dreams that need defense against the truth.
* THIS would be the truth that GOD IS and is our Creator and Provider.
³They do not try to make themselves.
⁴Their joy comes from their understanding Who created them.
⁵And does what God created need defense?
* Perhaps the tales of conspiracy that we tell ourselves are defense “bombs” that need to be SEEN and RELEASED into God’s Care and Transmutation?
* I got a call a few minutes ago and then was greeted with Asian take out that I very much enjoy. I couldn’t resist. It was presented with such kindness, and it is my favorite. My stomach is tolerating it so far and I ate every bite. I had to stop for a bathroom trip but that was not a problem.
* I also received two fortune cookies and I have to read them to you! #1 Your luck has been completely change(d) today. Note how it did not come in perfect spelling but why not take it as a positive message from Father, in Heaven?
* I was impressed with the first one, but it was the second one that floored me! I couldn’t help thinking, “Was this planned?” But is impossible, right? 
Jesus is aware of all things along with Father through SPIRIT and he has his ways and messengers. 
* Are you ready? Now, don’t get your feathers in a ruffle! I am not jumping to conclusions; I’m just sayin’ that stranger things are POSSIBLE.
* #2 A man’s best possession is a sympathetic wife. ~ Sheesh! I didn’t catch the “possession” when I read it the first time. But listen, just because it is not perfect does not mean that the message didn’t come from Father. Don’t worry, I am not stopping there!
* JUST HOW IN THE BLAZES IS A WOMAN SUPPOSED TO SHOW A MAN THAT SHE HAS SYMPATHY FOR HIS SITUATION WHEN HE SEES THROUGH THE EYES OF EGO’s BRUTALITY AND NOT THROUGH THE LOVE OF GOD???
* Do you see my point?
* If he is going to be judging my every tone, word, and posture based on what HE THINKS HE WANTS TO SEE, how is that going to help Father reach him through me?
* How could I be in touch with Father Who knows what he truly NEEDS, and will Guide me through SPIRIT, if I have to always be looking at how he is responding or wondering how he is feeling about any move I make?
* When we BOTH are able to look through the Eyes of Father through SPIRIT’s lens, we will see FATHER in each other as well as the Whole Sonship that is Christ and be able to serve them best by being faithful and focused on the ONE ‘body’ and ‘story’ that we have been given to represent the Whole. Hmm. Remember that I am still in the process of “fleshing” these ideas out but this is what comes to me at this time.
⁶No one can become an advanced teacher of God until he fully understands that defenses are but foolish guardians of mad illusions.
* I could hold my “musings” to be evidence that you cannot trust anyone, or I can let Father Guide me and allow myself a chance to grasp what it might mean to exist in the world of FORM while remaining in HEAVEN WITH FATHER.
* I hope you are able to back up and see the ‘big picture’ and understand that this process can occur in any situation, concept, or time in form.
⁷The more grotesque the dream, the fiercer and more powerful its defenses seem to be.
⁸Yet when the teacher of God finally agrees to look past them, he finds that nothing was there.
⁹Slowly at first he lets himself be undeceived.
¹⁰But he learns faster as his trust increases.
* This does occur. You have experienced it when you do something (anything) repeatedly. This is the process of “undoing” that Father Wants to Guide us on through SPIRIT.
¹¹It is not danger that comes when defenses are laid down.
* That is because God, the One Original and Universal Creator is there and IS All That Is.
¹²It is safety.
* In HIS CARE.
¹³It is peace.
* Because YOU don’t have to devise a plan over and over.
¹⁴It is joy.
* Because you are FREE to EXIST IN GOD and HIS ABUNDANCE and LOVE.
¹⁵And it is God.
* Absolutely!
