God & Divinity

PART 8: Our “solution” is an attack and so, like the original problem, is an attack on ourselves. * Beneath the victim level is the ego proper, which is pure, unprovoked attack. * The victim level is an excuse to attack, produced by projecting our own attack outward. * The ego promises that attack will get us safety and happiness. This simply tricks us into accumulating guilt, to which it is attracted. * The ego promises that getting will fulfill us and defending will protect us. This tricks us into accumulating lack and vulnerability. * The ego promises us joy through bodily pleasure. This tricks us into making separation real. * The special relationship is the biggest false promise of all, the one that motivates us to pursue all of the ego’s false promises. * Through our normal daily activities the ego is carrying out its ancient attack on God. * >All that the ego does is really designed to attack us.

Part 7 & 8 out of 16 in the Course on Miracles…. PART 7: Our search for happiness is actually an expression of resentment and a quest for vengeance on the past. * Underneath our conscious face of innocence is the victim level, a place in us where we are enraged over what we think the world has done to us. * >The victim’s primary perception is that other people are sinful. * In this place we believe that past injustices have given us the right to resentment, restitution, and revenge. * Our attempt to rearrange the world is based on anger, resentment, grievances. * In our giving and in our suffering we constantly send the message, “I suffered because of you. Therefore, you owe me.” * We seek vengeance through subtle attempts to re-enact the past and reverse past “injustices” against us.

Apparently these are the what the houses in Vedic Astology represent:

PART 6: Our solution: acquire happiness by rearranging our external world. * Our conscious self-image is “the face of innocence,” that of a good self trying to make its way through an unjust world. * We respond to the world’s attacks by defending ourselves. * We attempt to fill our needs with external things, situations, and events, based on the belief that we are inherently lacking. * A major need we seek to satisfy is the need to feel innocent. * Another major need is the need to feel special. * In our search for happiness, the body is both a means and an end. * The crowning gift we seek, which incorporates all of the other gifts, is special love. * All of our seeking attempts to get something from the world, for which we generally must pay something back.

PART 5 & 6 from the 16 points on the Course in Miracles: PART 5. We then projected the cause of our suffering onto the world, producing the illusion that it had sinned against us and had robbed us of our happiness. * A law of mind is that mind causes its own experience. * Projection is the dynamic whereby causation is thrown outward: what our mind has caused now seems thrust upon us from without. * Projection is motivated by the desire to get rid of our guilt, but its deeper motivation is the desire to make us powerless to change our beliefs. * Projection produces a world that seems to have enormous power over us. * Through projection, our self-imposed pain appears to come from an attacking world. * Our guilt, projected outward, has produced a punishing world. * Our primary experience of this world is that it attacks us in manifold ways, that it has done us wrong, that it has taken our happiness from us.

Hello all ^_^

Bhakti yoga is the path of loving devotion and surrender to a personal god or supreme consciousness, recognized as one of the three primary paths to spiritual liberation in the Bhagavad Gita 🙏

I saw someone pulled the hermit and I did as well today

PART 3 & 4 Course on Miracles PART 3: But the separation occurred only in our minds; in reality it never happened. * The separation had no effect, for nothing can change the Will of God. * We did not actually separate; we merely withdrew our awareness from reality into a private mental state. * The world is not an objective reality; it is only a dream, a projection of our belief in separateness. * We are not who we think we are; we are the Sons of God with amnesia. * We are not here in this world or in these bodies. We are in Heaven dreaming that we are here. * The instant the separation seemed to occur, God created the Holy Spirit, Who awakened us that same instant. We are now only reviewing a journey that is over. PART 4. Yet we believed we had really done it. We thought we had sinned and had thereby thrown our happiness away forever. * We thought that we had separated ourselves from all that we loved and consequently experienced a state of lack. * We thought that we had sinned against God, that we had launched a real attack which caused real destruction. * The result of sin was a massive sense of guilt, which we denied and so pushed into the unconscious. * Guilt says that we deserve punishment. This belief is the source of all of our suffering. * We project our belief that we deserve punishment onto God and so perceive a punitive, fearful God. * Guilt, then, gives rise to fear, which really is the expectation of punishment. Fear is the dominant emotion of this world.
