NOTES
Gary Renard - September 16, 2006 - Workshop at Babson College, Wellesley, MA
“Learning” will not make me happy. ¯ Only EXPERIENCE will make me happy, so APPLICATION is everything.
Attempting to fix an effect is a waste of time. ¯ I am at CAUSE. Nothing happens TO me. It is all done BY me. I made it up. I must fix the cause, which is in my mind—my mistaken ego (“mad”) idea of separation that caused guilt and fear of punishment by God. I need to change my mind (the projector), not the world (the screen).
¯ My task is to UNDO the ego. There is only one ego (mine), appearing as many.
The UNCONSCIOUS mind is what runs me, not what I believe in my conscious mind. I see with the mind. Seeing separation is an ego trick, a lie. My body is done by me. I believe I am at the effect of my body. I think pain is in my body. This puts me in a hopeless situation, because the pain is in my mind, the real cause of my pain is the unconscious guilt in my mind about separation. Part of the unconscious mind knows there is only one of us and that I am it. So the unconscious understands that if I condemn another, I am really condemning myself. Whatever I think about others is what my unconscious mind thinks about me.
I have only two choices: either I judge or I forgive. If I fail to forgive, I must justify it. How? By judging! All justifications of my anger are false.
My upsets are my opportunities. I must train my mind to realize that I am at cause.
¯ FORGIVENESS is the means for changing the unconscious mind.
What I see is a projection of my unconscious mind. My projections are the ONLY ACCESS to my unconscious mind. The only way to forgive what is within (my unconscious guilt), therefore, is to forgive what is without (what I perceive others have done to me).
So I must stop, and switch from the ego to the Holy Spirit. Then I realize that what I see is not real; I did not do it; they did not do it; so there is no basis for guilt. Actually, I do the forgiveness process for myself. I am the one who benefits. I will experience the reflection of the change in my unconscious mind and my experience of myself will change. I will become free from fear and problems. Forgiveness is remembering the truth. Forgiveness is very practical; it empowers me. The power is in the Love behind the choice for the Holy Spirit. Forgiveness, or right-mindedness, leads automatically to one-mindedness. Every one of my forgiving thoughts has undreamed of powerful effects that I generally am not aware of. So I trust.
The separation never occurred. The entire world-idea happened at once, bang, and is over. Whatever happens in time was fixed in the ego’s script. Everyone gets sick—that was already determined. My choice is only to see the sickness through the eyes of the Holy Spirit, who gives me the correct interpretation, that I am dreaming this, it’s my movie; it is not real. Viewing sickness this way with the Holy Spirit, I start to relax. The happy dream is not based on good things happening; it is based on how I view what happens; I forgive it. Asking Source is powerful because it is an acknowledgement of oneness. Heaven is the awareness of perfect oneness.
