"There is nothing about me that you cannot attain. I have nothing that
does not come from God. The difference between us now is that I have
nothing else. This leaves me in a state which is only potential in you."
A Course In Miracles
Perhaps you have noticed how quickly the illusion is falling apart in your present time? And the more quickly it falls apart, the more hysterically the ego turns up the public relations machines so that you will not notice. The false gods are falling from their pedatels faster than a new one can be put up.
At the very same time, you can see the rise in religions, gurus and spiritual communities. In many cases, this is just a more subtle form of the same old illusion. Over and over the human heart, mind and soul yearns for "something more." From this standpoint, each new achievment simply creates the echo of that suspicion that there must me "something more" than this.
THAT is the lie. It is what keeps the search going on endlessly and hopelessly. As usual, the Truth is quite the opposite. The Answer which will finally satisfy you is NOT for something more, but rather for a "something less." It is not a doing, but an undoing. It is not an adding on to, but a subtraction from.
The problem is not anything that you are lacking but rather all of the myths, lies, stressful concepts, theories, requirements and "needs" that you have added on since you arrived here. Don't misunderstand, this is in NO WAY a teaching of the renunciation of the things of this world. The things of this world are neutral - they have no power. Renunciation can often be just another "added on" thing the ego does to try to "fix" what it sees as a wounded insufficient self.
Have children, don't have children. Get married, don't get married. Buy a house, don't buy a house. Have a career, don't have a career. Have a lot of "stuff," have no "stuff" at all. It is ALL THE SAME. It is all neutral. It is all meaningless of itself. It is WHAT MIND DOES WITH IT THAT ENDOWS IT WITH THE QUALITY OF HEAVEN OR HELL. "As a woman thinketh . . . "
This is a highly individualized curriculum in undoing suffering so that what remains is your natural state of inner peace. Little by little We help to unravel the complicated theories you have accepted as your own. Little by little We Help to undo all of the "doing" of the world so that what is uncovered is a you which has everything God gave you, and nothing else. We move slowly in order to not terrify you, for even the loss of painful illusions is often grieved and mourned by the false self.
So relax and allow the process. When the ego whispers to you that something essential is missing and you feel that yearning for something more, remember that it is yet another lie designed to keep you on the treadmil to nowhere. Relax and release to Him the thing you think you need and We will gently undo yet another layer of bondage and mental chains. Then, should the thing you thought you needed come to you, you will be able to truly enjoy it without attachment or suffering.
