individual persons on a spiritual journey. We need remember that projection makes perception (T-13.V.3:5; T-21.
in.1:1): what we see outside is always and only what we
have projected. We wish to perceive and make real in the
mindless world of bodies the separation that we do not
want to acknowledge as the minds decision for the ego.
We can therefore discern a method in the egos
decided madness of having us actually believe there is a
hierarchy of illusions (spiritualities, professions, behaviors). Such belief, and the experiences that inevitably follow from it, well serve the egos purpose of keeping our
attention rooted in the world of time and space, so much
so that we never remember that our self is a decisionmaking mind. And all this madness is cleverly concealed
behind the veils of specialness that differentiate us from
others, therein reinforcing the perception that the fragmented Sonship is alive and well, and very real. To make
this important point once more, we underestimate the
seductive aura of specialness at our own peril, for the
triumph of form over content so easily buries the real
problem (and solution) that is found in the decisionmaking mind, thus making correction impossible.
Because of the dangers of spiritual specialness, Jesus
urges his students to beware of the ego bearing gifts of
judgment, seeing in all of them, however tempting their
frames of specialness may be, the hidden picture of separation and guilt (T-17.IV). It feels so good to judge others,
most especially when we can hide the attack behind veils
of spirituality. The reader may recall this passage about
the allure of the special relationship frame that conceals its
true gift of death:
The miracle does nothing.it cancels out the interference to what has been done. This world was over
long ago. The thoughts that made it are no longer in the
mind that thought of them(T-28.I.1:1,3,6-7).
whose very lives reflect the love that created us and that
we are.
How Advanced Teachers Live in the World:
The Reflection of Heavens Love
Perhaps the simplest way to characterize advanced
teachers is that they have no needs that demand satisfaction, no hidden spots of darkness to mar the innocent perception of the world, nothing in their minds to interfere
with the free and natural flow of love from their minds to
others. Freed of guilt and fear, they are able to remain true
to the Holy Spirits content of Love, all the while their
bodies appear to be active in the daily business of life.
Gone are the shoulds that control daily living, or special
rituals that are needed to ground their thinking or center it
on the divine. The love within allows their Teachers Love
to be the daily program they follow. As Jesus explains,
employing the Courses symbol of a separated Teacher to
guide us through the various roles of our everyday lives:
There is no program. He will be told all that his role
should be, this day and every day. For the advanced
teacher of God, then, this question [of how one is to
spend ones day] is superfluous. It has been asked and
answered, and he keeps in constant contact with the
Answer. He is set, and sees the road on which he walks
stretch surely and smoothly before him (M-16.1:2,5,
8-10).
Then close your eyes upon the world you see, and in
the silent darkness watch the lights that are not of this
world light one by one, until where one begins another
ends loses all meaning as they blend in one (W-pI.
129.7:5).
This qualitative shift from separation to sameness, differentiation to unity, is an unchangeable fact in our perceptual experience. What was spoken of early in the
workbook (W-pI.23.3:2) has been transformed by Christs
vision: the world remains the projection/extension it has
always been, but what we see in our healed perception is
only the pictorial representation of loving thoughts, there
being nothing left in our unclouded minds. Love is continually born anew in the minds quietness, and is the sole
source of our perceptions and behaviors. Innocence has
replaced guilt, and people have been transformed in our
perception from enemies into friends. Indeed, the following passage is the only truth as we appear to walk the
world of illusion:
The outcome of the lesson that Gods Son is guiltless is a world in which there is no fear, and everything
is lit with hope and sparkles with a gentle friendliness.
Nothing but calls to you in soft appeal to be your
friend, and let it join with you. And never does a call
remain unheard, misunderstood, nor left unanswered in
the selfsame tongue in which the call was made. The
soft eternal calling of each part of Gods creation to the
whole is heard throughout the world thislesson
brings (T-31.I.8:1-3,8).

In its perverse insanity, the ego has convinced us that guilt is our savior from the Atonement, and in turn, judgment of
others saves us from our guilt. Yet we are taught by Jesus that self-blame (guilt) and blame (judgment) are the same
(T-11.IV.4-5), and so they have the same correction: forgiveness. Forgiveness of ourselves and others, therefore, is the
true savior, which is reflected by shifting perceptions of our special relationships, letting miracles replace all grievances
(W-pI.78) and kindness take the place of attack.
Fee: $40.00
The world is indeed merciless because it was made from the merciless thought that our special happiness - the fulfillment of our special needs - meant more to us than the Love of God. For us to exist, He had to be sacrificed to the selfcentered needs of our selfish demands. To this merciless cruelty has God given a merciful answer: the gentle message
of the Atonement. The Holy Spirit is A Course in Miracles personal name for this answer, held for us in the mind that is
outside the worlds dream of suffering and death. Our function, therefore, is to return from the merciless and mindless
world of bodies to the merciful mind that teaches us to forgive and be healed.
