Keith! This is inconceivably powerful! The inner goosebumps of knowing (without knowing)... It's taken almost 20 years to FEEL the Truth of what you're speaking of here. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. ❤
Keith you’re really a mighty companion thanks for putting yourself out here. I am lucky enough to have had my moments of realization so I can humbly be reminded what you say is True.. and yet I keep listening over and over basically every night before bed, it is very reassuring to hear your explanations.
44:35 I NEED DO NOTHING. This is the most important realization. This will save you a lot of time. You can escape from time... When the thinking is not taking your attention, everything else will take of itself in the dream.
We will remember that we never left home when we let go of everything that is not home . Thank you Keith for guiding us back to where we never left ❤🙏. Happy, happy, joyful and free , our true identity will always be
I wonder how many get the essence of this podcast. You are giving pearls Keith. As I listen it seems like I have it, then I slip back, then I glimpse the truth, then it slips away again. Like something is trying to well up in me - One aspect of myself recognises deeply what you are saying- the ego then brings in thoughts or distractions. But I will be still and do Nothing . Thank you for your clear and confident explanation.
@@judymiller6168 you are always as God created you. The mind imagines the coming and going and projects it onto what you are that is ever Unchanging ❤️
Yah, for all of us, it's ego tempting us to distract with the thought "I wonder how many get the essence of this podcast." Instant distraction. Instant diversion. Am I getting this and instantly returning, returning, returning. Thank you for posting. We're onto these instant distractions. The ego won't like us realizing these thoughts are not real. We can tell by the energy whether we are aware of what IS, our Infinite Being/Magnificence Being, or distraction. It takes a lot of courage to post and have the transparency revealed by posting the distracting thoughts.
Your talk brought to mind a wonderful documentary by Ram Das called “Becoming Nobody”. Excellent! Thank you for your wisdom and helping us to understand course principles.
1:19:09 *"You need do nothing about whatever's happening in the ego's world. Nothing .... The dream figure is ranting and raving, and disgusted, and thinks they know what it means, and there's this adrenaline pumping, and there's all this awful sin, guilt and fear, and it's getting projected out, see, and what you need is radical & total acceptance of what is happening, and what you are will tell you of itself in every holy instant of forgiveness ... **_In my defencelessness, my safety lies._** ... not addressing the body ... You don't have to defend yourself against an ego attack, you just let it rage ... and that is noble, no matter what is coming up... Who you are is present in every moment... This is fine exactly as it is."*
*This is wonderful. Thank you, Keith.* . I'd heard there was a nonduality version of A Course in Miracles, and really wanted to come across it. I was never able to be "a holy ego" - lacked all conviction; it never made sense, in context of *only love is real,* and then doing what holy egos do, distinguishing one illusion from another. So this is answer to a prayer.
00:44 *"Forgiveness ... is still and quietly does nothing. It offends no aspect of reality or seeks to twist it to appearances it likes. It merely looks and waits and judges not. ...."*
52:47 You don't need to sacrifice pleasures of the body. You don't need any of the thinking of the mind. Everything takes care of itself in the moment from the Quiet Centre.
1:00:06 to 1:36:00 "*Relax. Let go. It's all fine. Take a nice deep breath. It's perfect.*" "Your job is to do nothing [about the storm] *so the presence that you are is obvious*."
1:28:05 The practice..paraphrasing. "The world doesn't mean anything" is true, but that's not your practice. The emotions thoughts & feelings that arise in your mind about it don't mean anything because they're not you. And if you do nothing with them, relax and know 'this is fine', 'this is perfect'..."That's your practice."
Beautiful great podcast. Wondering if praying for my brother healing from cancer is seeing him as someone he is not, am I now.? I try at the same time to remember our share identity in God. Thanks!!
Look, this is a journey, and you need to respect the rung of the ladder you are on, but yes, ultimately praying for your friend's recovery is seeing him as something that can be sick and die. Seeing your friend as a body means you will continue to see yourself as a body. Again, it's not my place to impose a rung on you and, if not praying like this causes you fear, then do what you're doing and disregard what I'm saying for now. Ultimately, seeing the Birthless, Deathless, Changeless, Quiet Centre that you are as the truth of your brother is the practice to bring healing to both your your minds and establish you as One - not a body, free and still as God created you. ❤️
@Muttivon6 A level one statement is, for example, that only God is real. That's metaphysically true, and important to know, but it doesn't help you with what to do in the dream to awaken from it. The Course centres on what you do in the dream to awaken from it. This is level 2. As such, it is still part of the dream. For example, forgiveness is an illusion, which is level 2, but it's still how to facilitate awakening from the dream. Level one, in the Course, contrasts illusion with truth. Level 2 contrasts a wrong minded perception of the dream with a right minded one.
Thank you. I can now feel myself (past my imaginary me). But if that’s the case, are we meant to just sit and not do anything with our life? For example, I can sit with myself and do nothing, I can see that I have things to do for today, and can either sit with it and do nothing, or drop the sitting and focus instead on the doing (including eating, using the w.c, etc.).
Hi Keith. I am new to your podcasts and have found them to be very helpful in understanding my own study and application of ACIM. I do have one question/issue with the process of radical acceptance and needing to do nothing. I feel that I am missing the element of "bringing the darkness to the light". If I "just" accept, watch, wait, etc.(which I definitely believe will create the space for the Holy Spirit to shine) without then applying the correction....? Or is this part of the doing nothing OF YOURSELF (i.e. ego self) and the answer will be clear and application also put in place? Does this make sense? I understand the wisdom of letting the Holy Spirit fill the gap of quiteness and non-judgment, but where does the next step come in? Thank you.
We never separated from God. We asked a tiny mad idea and remembered not to laugh…we fell asleep and here we are in this dream, gently waking up with guidance that led us here. 🙏♥️
When did you stop eating people? The only way you can answer that is to say, "that never happened" If you say anything apart from that, you are making the statement true. How did the separation happen? It didn't. Because you THINK you are a separate self, you want to know how it happened. It didn't. The one who is asking the question doesn't exist. There's no such thing as a separate self. It is a misidentification. It is not you. You are not the figure in your dream that you think you are. There is no separateness anywhere. Only appearances of separateness in a dream. But dreams are not true. Nothing in a dream is true.
Keith, is it possible to do something that you really enjoy for a living or is this just another ego's trap? Do you just have to do whatever job to pay your bills? I am asking because my dream figure life felt apart and I don't have a job/career anymore but also I never found out a job/career I really enjoyed.
Find out who you are with forgiveness and it doesn't matter what the body is doing. Don't, and nothing will make you happy. "Seek but do not find" "Seek not outside yourself. For all your pain comes simply from a futile search for what you want, insisting where it must be found. What if it is not there? Do you prefer that you be right or happy? Be you glad that you are told where happiness abides, and seek no longer elsewhere. You will fail. But it is given you to know the truth, and not to seek for it outside yourself." T-29.VII.1.
First, I’d like to say thank you Keith for ALL the Course teachings & reminders, which I turn to all day, everyday. Q: When you pause to look for Course quotes what do you use to look them up so quickly? Is it a specific app or??? I could sure use something like that many times throughout my day. Thank you again for ALL THAT YOU DO! God Is.
I prepare some in advance and know many off by heart (or paraphrased) to use on the fly. You only need to remember a few words correctly to type it into the Kindle or the FiP online version of the Course and bring up the quote 😉

41:08 Long periods of meditation aren't necessary...
what does a "Level one statement" mean? I have been binge watching you...thank you so much for making these teachings accessible to us.

Why did we want to separate from God. Why would we choose so much pain?
🤦♀️
We never separated from God. We asked a tiny mad idea and remembered not to laugh…we fell asleep and here we are in this dream, gently waking up with guidance that led us here. 🙏♥️
Listen to this podcast, another masterful class from Keith. See Lesson 190 as well. ❤
Yes he answered my question in this video right after I posted it. Thank you@@scottgroom2171
When did you stop eating people?
The only way you can answer that is to say, "that never happened"
If you say anything apart from that, you are making the statement true.
How did the separation happen?
It didn't.
Because you THINK you are a separate self, you want to know how it happened.
It didn't.
The one who is asking the question doesn't exist.
There's no such thing as a separate self.
It is a misidentification.
It is not you.
You are not the figure in your dream that you think you are.
There is no separateness anywhere.
Only appearances of separateness in a dream.
But dreams are not true.
Nothing in a dream is true.

Find out who you are with forgiveness and it doesn't matter what the body is doing.
Don't, and nothing will make you happy.
"Seek but do not find"
"Seek not outside yourself. For all your pain comes simply from a futile search for what you want, insisting where it must be found. What if it is not there? Do you prefer that you be right or happy? Be you glad that you are told where happiness abides, and seek no longer elsewhere. You will fail. But it is given you to know the truth, and not to seek for it outside yourself."
