the mind training of A Course In Miracles...
Further down I replied to an idea expressed by Ronja in 2004 about free will. I think this question is a matter of who you are. Are you coming from fear or are you coming from love? Can there be freedom, if you are a body or in a body? Can you be free if you are doomed to get old and get sick and die? Certainly not. In fear, in existence in space time you would have to make a definitive decision not to follow the advice of fear for otherwise you would not be free, because you are identifying yourself with the body, with what is destructible.
Yet if you come from love there is no question about who you are. You simply are. Period. There ist nothing to question you, no thought can tell you that you are who you are not. You simply know and do not engage in meaningless thoughts. So I was saying you do not know who you are.
Therefore you need help, not from anything within your identity of being in space time, a new method, a new authority, a new idol, a new guru... You need help by something that knows who you are.
There is help and it is very practical. Look at the mind training of A Course In Miracles and see for yourself that you are not bound by fear, that it is nothing but a thought in your mind, that you are simply mistaken about your identity and need to be undone. All your fear thought will tempt you to go back into your old thinking habit of attack and defense, defense and attack in a vicious cycle without cease... Yet you simply can say, no more, I loose the world from all I thought it was, and choose my own reality instead. To give and to receive are one in truth... and I give to you, to this, to that... because I give only to myself...
So, are you doing the mind training lessons to have literally a new experience of yourself, or would you like to try them? Nothing is required of you but willingness to follow the simple instructions. No particular time or place is necessary to do your mind training lessons.
You do not have to believe anything about anything to be able to apply them to your daily life. Your experience will speak for itself. It alone can show you something new, something you were always looking for - in the wrong place, because you did not know where to look...
